Hi! We are Sandeep & Meghna Dangi.... I am an engineer with a degree in management. She is a CA and ICWA. I am managing my own business of dealing in yarns and am based at Surat. Apart from business I am involved in a lot of NGOs. I enjoy the challenges that I encounter during my social service activities and believe that they have helped me to evolve as a more caring and sensitive human being and citizen. We love travelling and have undertaken several extensive road journeys all around India. I had organised a Quiz contest in the city of Surat by the name of "Prakhar". The contest involved testing of more then 15000 students of 36 schools. Organising the contest helped me to learn a lot about Team work as it involved huge logistics as well as support from several quarters. I have also been involved in propagation of RTI- The right to infomation act. We had invited Arvind Kejriwal - a major RTI activist and a Magsaysay award winner for a seminar on RTI. I am involved with several cultural activites in Surat including Film Society, dramatics, etc. As office bearer of Social organisations, I am regularly organising family and Social gatherings for our members at different venues. My partner is also my Life partner. A Chartered Accountant and a Cost Accountant by qualification, she is an academician and is presently heading an MBA College in Surat. A hardworking and sincere person, she is the stabilising influence in my life. She has been teaching for past 8 years and is a fairly superlative orator and presenter. She can give a run to anybody for their money with her superior command over the language. She is an equal partner to me in all my endeavours.

SAKET OJHA & JYOTI BHATIA

Total Vote(s) : 104 | Total Testimonial(s) : 8

Saket & I are Architects , being from a field of balancing aesthetics with engineering , creating structures, monuments , cities which defy, compete and challenge mother nature and her resources . Concerned with the rapid growth movement and an emerging market mantra of our government, every single march towards growth risks the delicate fabric of the ecology and resulting in endangering Nature's proudest and biggest asset - our forests and national reserves. When ever the opportunity arises we like to pack our bags , put on our hiking shoes, gear up our car " Bozo"and set off . Waltzing from lanes of Mumbai to cruising through different routes across the country , admiring the wondrous architecture of the past , modern man made feats to marveling the unmatched beauty, engineering, color , imagery of nature. Mesmerized by the regional flora and fauna as diversified as the local culture. Our dream is to dance with the wolves, sway with the trees in the forests, sing the song of the whales, watch the penguins march, glide in the green valleys and race through cities.

Greetings readers!!! Meet the team of Sajjan Devaiah and Ambika Kariappa from Bangalore. Travelling is our passion... To start with, we have together travelled the journey of our lives for 9 odd years now. To tour you through the little promenade of our lives, it is destiny that brought us to be Man and Wife over a year ago. Hailing from the Land of rich heritage, warriors, aromatic coffee and spices, we Coorgies are born with a zeal for odyssey. I work as a telecom Engineer with Timken and my wife is a Software Engineer with SAP Labs. Like they say, “Better late than never", we have now unfolded our lives to be a part of this fun and frolic filled adventure. We are here to show that "Dream IT , TO GET IT ". Most time of our days is spent driving. I guess it’s the traffic to blame for or maybe an excuse we often find. It’s not just us, but also the little member (Pug Pup) of our family who loves the speed and driving more than we do. Crazy ripping on roads to treks, style to photography, wining & dining to exploration, name it and we fancy it.

Sajeesh Nair & Usha Bhutani

Total Vote(s) : 42 | Total Testimonial(s) : 10

Though we met through an official channel, we never knew that our interest will land us to a comfort zone where we share and care for each other at every moment of life. "Jhintack" is what we call our partnership, where the guy call the girl "Jini" and the girl call the guy "Tack". About Tack (Man from Mars) - Sajeesh Nair, born and brought-up in New Delhi, India is currently working with a Multinational Bank as a Team Leader-Cyber Threat Analytics. He's a great travel enthusiast which took him to different destinations, covering almost 3/4th of India. A founding member of Delhi Bull Riders motorcycle community, he recently did a Leh-Ladakh tour on his Royal Enfield Motorbike covering almost 3200kms in 15 days. Apart from that, he's a freelance web-designer & an internet-freak. About Jini (Woman from Venus) - Usha Bhutani is also a native of New Delhi. As a travelling enthusiast herself, she has been to various places across India on her Maruti Swift which she consider to be her priced possession. Being associated with a Multinational IT company as a Process Trainer she keeps on travelling to different sites which adds another para to her travelogue. Though she doesn't keep a count of the distance traveled, her most memorable journey was when she covered almost 244kms to drive her car alone from Chennai to Pondicherry. About Jhintack (The Partnership) - Usha and Sajeesh were colleagues when they met each other. Their passion about life and travelling got them together. After a couple of rejuvenation drives along Delhi-Jaipur highway, they thought of exploring a bigger travelling spree. One Friday night, during a telephonic conversation, something clicked their mind. We pushed for an unplanned trip to Alwar on Saturday morning on Sajeesh's RE and that started our traveling partnership. Post that, each month we got to go for at least one trip for different places. Some of the trips in the last 1.5 years of partnership that Jhintack did together are - Rajasthan, Dhanaulti, Hrishikesh, Massouri, Shimla, Bangalore & Goa.

We are Sahar and Dhiraj. I am a news anchor and correspondent with CNN IBN while my husband Dhiraj is an independent artist and writer. We find ourselves to be travel soul mates because whenever we hop on to a bus, catch a train or take off on a flight for a holiday, I intuitively start logging our holiday by taking pictures while Dhiraj pens down our thoughts and observations while travelling which finally end up as travel pieces in his blog. Interestingly, Great Driving Challenge is about something that we have been doing all along in as many holiday trips that we have made in the past.
