...it was on this gorgeous day of 10th March 2009,that we picked up a literally beautiful crimson orange (sunlight copper as per the sales brochure) Maruti Suzuki Swift VXi.......it had a thrumming 1.3 litre petrol engine, 87 bhp...and vroomed on without hesitation at the slightest prod on the throttle....the cheerful looks, the bright skin, shiny wheel caps, et al....i had to give her a name...and bubbly was it (most sincere apologies to Pepsi, Yash Chopra films and Rani Mukherji )....the long drives had to follow.....Vizag,Yanam, Rajahmundry,Bhimavaram....the entire konaseema.....all the lovely state highways flanked by lush green fields were dispensed off with ease by the amazing ride and handling of the car......it was a focused mantra in the car..."dock in the i-pod, seatbelt on,key in, and just keep driving off.....".....till one day......things had to tumble down.....for some reasons...which i'll not state due to personal discrepancy.....bubbly was gone...and we had to look for a new ride.....options flashed open....polo a.k.a duetsche darling, punto a.k.a cutie pupp italia & swift d a.k.a tree hugger bubbly....fights and discussions ensued....pros & cons verified rather sternly.....on one end...my heart fought for the cutie pupp...while on the other....my head battled for the bubbly......a host of obligations and conditions have to be considered ....and in the end.....bubbly stole the show..and all the confetti......tree hugger bubbly...in 1.3 diesel format, forcedly induced with food and pressurised fluids....shall make its entry into our lives on 31st March, 2010......i'm waiting.....with arms wide open....:P......
P.S. : non purists beware, you may find this automobile lovers doddling..entirely crappy....
