The moment I brought home my Tata Punch in August 2022, I knew this was going to be a story worth telling. Owning a car isn’t just about the thrill of driving or the convenience it offers; it’s about the evolving relationship you build with your vehicle over time. And …

Hyderabad has been quite hot in the last few weeks; even staying indoors under air conditioning wasn’t enough. There had to be something more. Like last year, my dad had a mini vacation and I had to take him somewhere. Last time around the same time we had gone on …

Update: Read my updated long term review after 60,000 kms in 2025 5 years ago buying a car was a distant dream. It wasn’t more about the money back then, but the need. I didn’t feel the need to have one, plus the rented place I stayed at had no …

My first time seeing under the bonnet of the car was way back in Goa during the early 2000s. Dad’s driver used to open the bonnet and add some water somewhere. While I didn’t know what he did back then, I was always curious to see what was under the …

By now you would have figured out that ever since I bought my first car – Tata Punch, I’m on a road trip exploring most of the time. The first road trip I took was literally a week after I got my car. It was my Hyderabad to Nagarjuna Sagar …

I always complain that folks from Pune and Bengaluru are blessed when it comes to places to visit nearby. Panchgani, Lonavala, Khandala and the likes for Punekars and Coorg, Madikeri, Mysore for Bangaloreans. There are so many places to visit. Hyderabadis sadly don’t have many at a one-day road trip …
