Heyyooo Everybody... SALAAAAM NAMASTEEE.. Hi guys, am Abhimanyu Verma and she is my fiancee Bhawna Jain. I am a graphic designer in DSN and my fiancee is looking after her father's business. She is also pursuing her MBA (multi-talented girl!!!). Along with that we have also started our new company recently. I stay in Mumbai. I am an adventurous person. I love photography. I believe in living my life to the fullest and enjoying thoroughly. I love traveling and have been to EVEREST ADVANCED BASE CAMP (Kalapathar 5400 meter high) where I led my other three friends as well. My expedition to Everest Advanced-Base Camp was the most adventurous one among my OTHER ACTIVITIES (bungee jumping, scuba diving etc.). I have been to almost every part of India. My partner is from Delhi. She is a perfect match for me because we share same interests. Even she an adventurous girl who loves traveling and is crazy about driving. We have drove to various parts of the country (see our travelogue below) and love each other's company. Our lives have been thrilling and exciting. We met an year ago and since then our lives have just been a dream story. We had an attraction towards each other in our first meeting, started with flirting each other and soon got serious. Within an year, we talked about our relationship with our families and had ENGAGEMENT exactly on the DATE WHEN WE MET LAST YEAR. Hmmm...and just see how many places we have been to within an year (THAT TOO WITHOUT TELLING OUR PARENTS!!!). We have enjoyed all the phases of a relationship within an year (including a live-in as well). God bless us and protect us always from devil's eye!!!

Amit Bhatia & Sumita Sharma

Total Vote(s) : 177 | Total Testimonial(s) : 12

We are a crazy, loony, yet daring couple, who met nine years ago, started dating six years ago and got married a year and a half ago. While Sumi is mad about rock (Cobain is her first love and Janis her style icon), I have been caught on candid camera singing to the tune of “teri aur” from Singh is King. She loves the hills and I am learning to dive. She LIVES on Godiva chocolates and I can’t do without desi ghee ke paranthe. I am on the rungs of the corporate ladder as Business Consultant at Accenture and Sumi has quit her job as a Senior Software Engineer at a leading software company to search for her calling (drums? graphic designing? environmental researcher?). Together, we are ALWAYS on the look-out for change and adventure! We spell fun, confusion, madness and melodrama. Together we have traveled across continents and several states in India. We are looking forward to joining yet another travel expedition; maybe she will finally find her calling on the path to nowhere!

Mayank Kumar & Alka Kumar

Total Vote(s) : 169 | Total Testimonial(s) : 7

We're Mayank and Alka from Noida. We both work in software industry (myself in IT sector and Alka in Telecom sector). We're here because we both are passionate about being to places, especially in our own vehicle. We specially like hills. Fearing for our safety, our parents think that we're little over the top and kind of act as catalysts to each other when it comes to driving around. We can’t help it but we don't blame parents. We had to take a break when kids came and they were small, but we're again letting the lid little loose for two years now. We just came back in June 2009, after traversing whole of Ganga and Yamuna river valleys for 9 days, and also took kids for two days Gaumukh trek.

Prashanth V & Neeta Shankar

Total Vote(s) : 163 | Total Testimonial(s) : 8

Me, Prashanth Venky am a Food freak. It may not show, and that is an advantage I have as I could eat as much as I want with no worries ;-). My friend Neeta Shankar is a crazy trekking freak and enjoys sniffing unexplored trek routes and has experienced some of the magnificent beauties that nature has to offer. I have traveled a lot around the globe (but its never enough) and mainly for two reasons - the food and the unique experience the places have to offer. I am an avid food blogger and love to relish anything in the name of food with no qualms about anything. Neeta loves to go on wildlife safaris and chase the birds and the beasts to capture all their beauty in her little camera. She loves photography and would go to any extent to get the shots (no photoshoping ... just pure natural beauty) which would help you experience the moment and not just envy her. Together we have trekked the lush green forests of Karnataka to the concrete jungles in Mumbai and enjoyed a dance with the Himalayans.

Hi Masuma & Huzaifa from 'Amchi Mumbai'. I met my wife online, on a chat site some 10 yrs back (Paltalk.com). We started chatting.. & one fine day (almost after a year and a half) I asked her out for a date, which she flatly refused.. that is when I came to knw she was from Dubai... Cut 2 -- My parents reached her house with our marriage proposal and we got married in Mumbai on 19th May 2002. Currently I am working with the Royal Bank of Scotland in Mumbai as IT Infrastructure Service Delivery Manager, at the same time my beloved manages our house, family and parents & ofcourse me..... Driving has been my passion.. It was just that one first session the driving instructor took for my mom which stayed in my mind... At home I used to visualise how I need to drive the car & then within a few days I was on the steering wheel. I used to steal my father's car keys, gather my friends and drive in the colony.....

Two Words to describe us -- Travel-o-holics Anshu works with Jet Airways - So is always on the move. & I am working as a Marketing Consultant for a Power Project Company so I travel extensively too. Two completely opposite personalities -- But then they say opposites attract. To start with the Sunsigns --- I am an Extravagant & Lavish Saggitarian & she is a Shy & Money-wise Virgo. As mentioned in Linda Goodman's Book :- "A Virgo woman would count her change before boarding a bus at the bus station on the other hand a Sagittarius Guy would Hire a Taxi or rather Buy a Sports Car." "A Virgo woman shall be dressed perfectly for a party & at the corner seat at the bar & elegantly sip on her wine & in the same party there would be a Group of people making noise & when you manage to make you way through to the center - there would be a Casually dressed Saggitarius Guy cracking a Joke." Thats two of us for you--- Opposites yes --- But i rather put it this way --- It is almost a dream for both of us to become like each other as we are so completely different that we don't even try to do it but we cherish the personality we can never be so we decided to cherish this forever & tied a knot 16 months back. Having said that we are opposites Travelling & Photography are our common obsession & we live for it --- Every 3 months we are off for a week or 10 dayz for a trip. & This "Great Driving Challenge" has been Tailored just for us & what our idea of Travelling is --- Not Racing --- Not Rallying to Reach The Destination but enjoying as we pass every Milestone on our way to the Destination We are JUST a Thousand Votes & a Few Testimonials Away From Being there ----- We know we are going to make it with True Supporters like YOU GUYZ READING THIS ---- Go Ahead VOTE For US (Atleast 4-5 Votes From you & your close ones)

We have travelled extensively together covering parts of europe, and extensive travel around the Asia Pacific Rim. We enjoy discovering new locations and countries and often bypass the traditional tourist spots to get a flavour for the life of the locals.

I'm software professional with expertise in intelligent systems. However everyone tells me that its a bit of oxymoron, somehow I manage to come across as a dumb person :(..... My partner is an engineer by education, albeit his main identity now is that of an entrepreneur who is doing reasonably well for a person who can never correctly spell the word "Entrepreneur". We both did our bachelors in Delhi, never knowing each other. Me being from girls college at DU also went to the socials held at his hostel in IIT, but somehow we never met. Or we don't remember it. Actually It is believed that we crossed our paths atleast three times before being introduced, but there is no documented proof. Our real discovery of each other took place on a month long road trip.

I'm currently working as an Account Manager in a BPO and Pooja is working as a process trainer in a BPO. Although people have various ways of unwinding but we prefer to unwind by travelling whenever we get a chance. We've done almost 90% of our travels across India by road in our own cars ( have uploaded lots of pictures on flickr ) and we prefer to visit places in India than abroad as we believe that India has lots of unexplored places and when you travel by road you get lot of opportunities to meet new people and see new places which you otherwise miss while travelling by public transport. We fight a lot to take the drivers seat on all our trips and the winner depends on the situation :)..well honestly most of the times its me.
