What begins as a college assignment soon turns into a journey that changes everything. Across busy cities and quiet villages, strangers walk the same road and slowly become friends. They come from different states, speaking different languages, carrying different cultures-yet, mile by mile, they grow into one family and discover what their country truly means to them. They stop being mere watchers and start becoming part of the stories around them. Carefree youth begin to see the truths of the world-and of their own hearts. Each mile brings a new lesson: hidden sides of society, the strength of friendship, the gentle arrival of love, and the courage to grow. Will they win the competition that started it all? Will they stay together when the road gets hard? Will love find them before the journey ends? Come travel with them- through roads that test the heart, through moments that change a life, on a safar of ishq, yaari, and the wonder of zindagi. Started: 14 October 2025 Ended:

Kavita Goswami, a spirited aspiring poet hiding her dreams beneath the confines of societal expectations, yearns for a voice in a world that silences women like her.
