“Traveling promotes a deeper and greater understanding between people and cultures of different countries of the world in a way which is incomparable. The Great Indian World Trip undertaken by Tushar and Sanjay is a great example of this. They represent the new generation of the free-spirited and intrepid Indian explorers. An account of their fascinating journey across the world will not only make for a captivating reading but also inspire young Indians to embark on adventures of their own.”

“This book has the potential to motivate any reader to try their hand at driving across borders. It has generated so much interest in me that now I can’t stop myself from going on such journeys. No one can feel any discomfort, even on a bumpy ride, when Tushar is driving, which I have experienced when both of us were together in the 2nd ASEAN-India Car Rally 2012”
