Graduated from 2 to 4

My mamaji presented me or rather said: "OK, you can drive this car" and made me graduate from a imported from Italy - Vespa Scooter to a local Indian made Maruti Suzuki. Thanks Mamaji.
:-) And this is my mamaji by the way.

Drove some 900 Kms, from Belgaum to Madras. On the way, saw some beatiful places and at one place I saw some 500 Wind mills and yes that place was really windy.

Crossed Nandi Hills near Bangalore.

And as soon I crossed Bangalore down came the rain. And it rained like crazy in the past few days in Bangalore and now its flooded. Thankfully I took other route through Tumkur, Kolar and Chittur.

One thing is for sure, Reliance is trying to bring in a new perspective to petrol pumps. Stopped on the way and this a beatiful Reliance petrol bunk, with Dhaba type facility. The food was great and also very cheap. And as soon as you get down from your car you are greated with a NAMASKAR, now this is called customer service. Ambanis have some grey matter.

Mamaji Thanks agian. :-)
