   The Bloggers, The Yogi & The Chicas At Fantastico Zica Pre Launch   This post is about some of the fantastico bloggers, Yogis and Chicas (some were all three )  I met for the Zica launch by Tata Motors in Goa. A trip that lasted less than 30 hours has given enough memories to last a lifetime.

Zica the Zippy new car from Tata Motors CAR is a 3 letter word, synonym with dreams, aspirations, style, and even statement of an individual. Your car is not a vehicle it is an extension of your personality.  No wonder Car companies spend millions of dollars, pounds, Yens and now rupees to find that sweet spot which will appeal to people and make them buy their dream car. This weekend I was in balmy Goa, to participate in the launch of Zica the latest pretty little  car with big aspirations from Tata Motors. The launch event organized by Tata [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

Hippie Trail and a restored Volkswagen Kombi Chalo lets us continue our love affair with nostalgia, this time from remembering old scooters let us go the Volkswagen Kombi, that literally carried a whole generation from Europe and beyond all the way to Kathmandu via countries like Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan, crossing into Pakistan and then India.

Stories of Scooters: Once upon a time the Steed of Indians There are cat people and dog people. There are sanghis and sickulars.  There are the Congis and then Mango People of AAP. And once upon a time, there were Bikers and Scooter Wallahs, till the bikers won and the good old scooter joined the history textbooks with T-Rex and the Neanderthals. The Scooter is DEAD, Long Live The Scooter. I was never a biker, I guess I skipped youth and straight away jumped to a desi Old Man.

A Drive With SOUL: Rediscovering Passions

Drive With SOUL: A herd of Wild Beasts Tamed By Passionate Owners We were tribesmen first, bonding over a bonfire on starlit nights under open skies, dancing to the orchestra of wild brooks and collective laughter emerging from the deep bowels of Souls celebrating the bounties of mother earth.  Then we evolved and things got complicated, nations, religions, caste, community, and language all played a role to divide while we thought we are evolving as a species. No more. The baser instincts to belong to a tribe are back and we long to belong to a tribe that disenfranchises us [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

No Country for Wild Horses- Only Wild Men

  The Devil Drives the Driver   Why do perfectly normal men behave like monsters once they are behind the wheels of a car? Why somebody who is never in a hurry to meet any deadline either at home or in office suddenly decides to join the line of dead on our highways? What happens when a man is behind the wheels of a machine? Looking at the way some of us drive on our desi highways you tend to question is the man driving the machine or the monster is driving the man? Genghis Khan created and ruled [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]
