“All those who wander are not lost.” Inspired by this JRR Tolkein quote, Samrat Parmar (27) and Vishal Sharma (25), who have their own production house, Just About Everything Films, decided to undertake a project to travel the length

The two youngsters got roped in as the part of a projected initiated by a start-up called Zostel. The project, titled The Best Internship Ever, selected few people to travel all over India for 50 days with a stipend of Rs 50,000. The aim of the activity was to popularise backpacking in India. As an addition to the trip and the primary aim, Parmar and Sharma decided to turn this opportunity into something bigger and made a short film out of their journey.
