We made it to the Top 12. The journey so far has been amazing and now the work begins for the next leg. What should the blog updates be like? What should we post? It's not an easy task, but the challenge is stimulating. It's not just the blog that is keeping us busy; there is so much more to plan and prepare for. I remember a quote by Lao Tzu - "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step". We tweak that a bit and present to you our 'first step' as we prepare for our journey of 3000 km.

The day begins at the Tarmac Tigers habitat. Our thinking caps are on as we brainstorm over numerous cups of tea.

Friends, Well-wishers, Fellow TGDC Applicants, Co-Contestants, Respected Jury Bench and everyone connected with TGDC:

We are Team – ‘DRIVOBLOGGERS’ from Kolkata.
Mrs. Basu is an Ex-Kingfisher and I am a ‘Dreamer’ - of a ‘Developed India’.

We have been giving the Indian Aviation Sector, Indian Railways, Packers & Movers and Cab Companies a run for their money - by traveling intercity and interstate, doing Non-Stop, Interstate, Overnight trips on the harshest, darkest, desolate Indian Highways. Makes us mix business with pleasure.

Now doesn’t that make us ‘professionally qualified’ for the Great Driving Challenge?

A journey can't end well if you don't care for road safety. These are a few sane words by some insane brains for all the drivers ....no matter what you drive keep them in mind.

TGDC so far has been quite a challenging exercise and truly puts to test one’s multitasking abilities. In fact, it demanded more than that by necessitating campaigning, checking updates, updating blogs, being updated on the official TGDC Blogs etc and managing work/life balance - all at once.

Apart from assistance from the people who voted for me and of course my Dear Parents, I had some special people from across the country, who were closely in touch with me everyday - inspiring, motivating and most of all cheering me to this stage.

Being best friends with Bharath has been my biggest challenge to date. Constantly arguing about most topics under the sun and having diametrically opposite perspectives to life makes us such good friends. Having met at photography school, our shared passion for travel, culture, music, books and art made us drive off to different places on photography ‘assignments’. 5 years down post-grad school we still make spontaneous trips to feed our wanderlust.

We are Poonam and Rishi Kapoor from the northern part of beautiful India. Rishi is a technocrat and Poonam, a homemaker. We love cars and own 3 of them with 322 horses (BHP)! And as they say, “getting there is half the fun”, traveling is our passion and we love to drive. We have driven extensively around North India, mapped Uttrakhand, Uttranchal, J&K and Himachal and in the West we have chartered the famous Ghats, hills, deserts and coastline of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan. We plan to discover the charming South and the evergreen North-East in the coming times.

"Zinaida! You, me. Mitsubishi! 3000kms. 4 days to go." Roohshad tells me at 01.28AM, Saturday. Roohshad is primarily an adventurer, a (ridiculously brilliant) photographer, artist and sometimes human. Based in Bangalore, he's the centre of attention, and a big brat! I'm a DJ, a partner in Goa's biggest nightlife firm, a writer (and an angel of the lord). When not being awesome, I sing, play the Piano and drive better than your better than average man.

Working at the heart of India’s technology industry, we are a Bangalorean couple who enjoy the best of both worlds. From the dense corporate jungle of conference calls, meetings and mental wear and tear, we manage to slip away, seeking the real India over long experience filled drives. Thomas, who has clocked more than 180,000 km of passionate driving over the last ten years, is also an accomplished photographer and avid blogger; Shilpy is a devoted wildlife lover and the more adventurous of the two.

Namrata and Joseph, Bombay-ite and Hyderabadi, implore all you interesting, smart, cute and sexy people reading this to please, pleeez follow us ! Fresh out of college, we were thrown into the dust bowls of U.P and the jungles of M.P. Sneaky trainees that we were, we took full advantage of the available resources to explore. Whether the pine trees of Almora or the ruins of Khajuraho, a Bhojpuri film shoot or some gun-laden, mustachioed dudes in the Chambal areas of Bhind - our travels always had added flavor!

Wedlocked since 3 long years, Mrs. Basu is an Ex-Kingfisher and I am a 'Dreamer' - of a DEVELOPED INDIA. Our reasons to travel by road range from pure utilitarian to holidaying to just avoid carting around luggage on platforms and terminals. I suffer from 'Anti-Motion Sickness' which is a situation where one gets restless and lethargic, if not on the move (whether by Rail, Air, or Road).

We, Unny & Bindhu, are a couple currently based in Mumbai. The best introduction can be: He (Unny) - Armchair traveler. Reluctant reader. Would-be writer. Amateur photographer, Day dreamer… and likewise, a pretender of too many things. She (Bindhu) - Add a few more pretensions - a good cook, a good host, etc. Easily mistaken for a serious, intellectual reader, but far from it. Engineer by qualification; freelance writer by choice. Also volunteers as a teacher for Akanksha, an NGO.
