The journey begins…

Posted By joseph

It has been 45 days since the beginning of this journey, but honestly, everything REALLY started last night. First things first:


We are here because of YOU. The 1508 of you who voted for us, the 108 who took time to write testimonials, and the 270 of you who have taken EVEN more time to complete the complex processing of becoming our followers.


Without further ado, here’s one BIGGGG THANKS TO YOU! With some mighty tight hugs and solid high-fives too! smile


And now to the beginning.


Yesterday at 4PM, we flagged off from the Atria Mall, Worli - you guys have seen more coverage of that than we have. So no talk about that. smile


We crawled to Dadar to find some travel gear at this place suggested by Amit & Jace, sadly he had stuff for bikers. Our journey was not off to a great start - I’d already snapped at Nam and she was already pissed with me. God called us to meet up with him at the Taj Lands end, and we promptly showed up to receive our FIRST monies! The smell of Gandhis always makes us grin, and we were back in good moods!


(Of course, we are ready to launch the sequel, the 2nd sequel, and the 6-series megathon of the GREAT SHOPPING CHALLENGE with the money! (God please excuse us! )


Done with the grinning, it was time for some quality sentimental stuff! We met up with my brother and ended up at Namrata’s place where she tied her baby brother to a rakhi (I swear, it was that way wonly!)! Aunty and Uncle gave us advice, I ate some great paneer, we packed the red Giordano bags, showed off the GDC umbrella, my bro fixed my phone (again!), I spiked my hair and we were good to go!


Before we sign off, here’s a photo!


Our stop for the night was Gorbandar, near Thane enroute to Daman. Details will follow soon with the ride from Gorbandar to Vapi to Daman! Till then, it’s time for me to enjoy my fish!


Cheers!
Joe


PS 1: To thank our remaining 8 contestants in the finals would be an understatement, we’ll be doing a lot more for them - shortly. smile


PS 2: Raghu (the video crew dude with us) just ordered for Porn Fried Rice instead of Prawn Fried Rice, I swear! The waiter just served him his XXX Fried Rice!


PS 3: Here’re all the goodies we got for the trip from TGDC guys!  Namrata was bundled along too! This blog has been posted from the Sony Vaio CS and the Reliance Broadband!
