Astounded by sheer number of participants who showed up so early with so much energy and enthusiasm.

The happening Duchess Car rally is becoming more and more HAPPENING and we were witness to the boisterous and enthusiastic crowd from 15-75 year old ladies frenetically going about the jobs to get ready for the rally. There was a carnival atmosphere throughout. The media had done a great job and the participation was very good. I got to know that this was the sixth year and this year’s response was over 100 cars compared to 76 last year. Wow!!Quite a Number.

I was there at the show a bit early to know more about it as I thought it would be the appropriate time to discuss with the Duchess club committee members Nina Reddy, Sujata Mundhra, Rathi Neelakantan, Anuradha Sachdev & Anu Aggarwal but was astounded by sheer number of participants who showed up so early with so much energy and enthusiasm.

I assumed that the rally would be more like a tamasha and not very professional but how wrong I was…. The organizers informed me that the rally would be based on speed, time and distance covered. The participants would also be grouped into various categories like Duchess, Experts, Regulars & Novices, should follow a route map, use their driving skills, reflexes and also need to answer questions on what was located at a specific distance from the start. Well, this was quite interesting and sure needed a coordinated effort from the 4 member team, particularly the questions part as it looked a brain teaser. Maybe spotting those places could be found more easily at our portal www.findnearyou.com

As the clock ticked towards the start time of 9.30 a.m., the numbers increased leaps and bounds. Flashy cars with women dressed in catchy attire to suit the occasion filled the space (traffic jammed inside Hotel Savera !!!).Their creativity came to the fore with the teams named India forward world follows , Pink panthers, Modern Madisaar Maamis, WOW (Women on Wheels), Mums on the run.

We at www.findnearyou.com congratulate these great ladies of the Duchess Club and the MMSC team for having pulled off a Great Show, wish them all the very best and look forward to be actively associated with their activities in future.
