Spark in Platinum Metallic

Spark in Platinum Metallic

4 reasons forced me to go for compact car this time:

1. Bangalore traffic is hectic & I needed something easily maneuverable
2. It'll be mostly a lone driving to gym & office inside the city. And to my sister's short commuting.
   
3. Color, contrast, curves, vital statistics matters a way bit more for me personally ! ;)
   Though style & design doesn't matter on performance, I needed fresh & elegant looking machine to drive.
   
4. Being a professional designer & having penchant for designs; lest friends shouldn't gaze at me with strange & odd look if I go for a boxy car- in the name of service network & resale value ;)
   

So I bought a new Chevrolet Spark car on September first week. It's a Platinum Metallic colored - top end model. I didn't opt for Alloy wheels & Anti Braking System (ABS) which comes as premium model fitments.

It's small, compact, elegant & cute car - I was looking for Bangalore city driving. It's a reincarnation version of Matiz by General Motors in India under Chevrolet brand.

In spite of less sparks on the road & labeled as pricey small car in the segment- I opted for GM's small car & feeling proud with the choice of Spark LT. I was in need of fresh & cute design car than existing oldies on the road. Though it's few thousands more 'All Gas filled shocks & tubeless tyres' are worth paying for that extra bit.

To add to all this I got it installed Boston 6" 9" rear speakers & JBL 4" 6" front speakers with Blaupunkt Head Unit- I say, these are ultra companions to beat lethargic Bangalore traffic !

Give it to the first Sardar beggar...

Give it to the first Sardar beggar...

Well, somebody, my friend, told me the following incident which I wish to share with you. It has had a deep impact on my thinking.

In the diwali vacation, Jayant and his couple of friends had gone to Delhi. They rented a taxi for local sight-seeing. The driver was an old Sardar, and boys being boys, Jayant and his pals began cracking Sardarji jokes, just to insinuate the old man.

But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed.

At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid up the hire-charges. The Sardar returned the change.Moreover, he gave each one of them one rupee extra and said, (in Hindi, of course),''son, since morning you have been telling Sardarji jokes. I listened to them all and let me tell you, some of them were in a very bad taste. Still, I don't mind because I know that you are young blood and are yet to see the world. But I have just one request. Here I am giving you one rupee each. Give it to the first Sardar beggar that you come across in this city."

Jayant continued," That one rupee coin is still with me. I couldn't find a single Sardar begging on the streets of Delhi."

Friends, we all love sardar jokes. But the fact of matter is that Sikhs are one of the most prosperous and diversified communities in the world. The secret behind their universal success, according to me, is their willingness to do any job with utmost dedication. A Sardar will drive a truck or set up a roadside garage or a dhaba, but he will never beg on the streets.
