What drives me?

Royal Enfield                        Adventure
(literally and figuratively)   (which leads us to..)
A number of small treks        Coaxed people
 between 2004-2007,             to write about
  with CISCO friends                   the treks



                               Uploaded every
    How it                      thing to a blog
                                    (Feb 2008)
    began
                                  Registrations

                                       started
Why it worked

 Very few           One of the
  outdoor          few trekking
possibilities in     clubs in
  Chennai            Chennai



      High         Appeals to the
  frequency          young and
   of events        adventurous
We never run out of
      places to explore




Why it still works
Technology
                meets
               Instinct




Why it still works
Treks for all




Why it still works
Because Google loves
  us(and vice-versa)




    Why it still works
Because fun
                     never goes out
                       of fashion




Because when
 people meet,
magic happens


           it still works
