nI am not really that big on cars. For me, a car is a vehicle of necessity and utility. However, I do remember my first car, a 1988 model Fiat, with much amusement. It was a hand-me-down from my brother after I passed out from school. He had just bought his new car, so I took over the Fiat. I remember it was greyish in colour.

Back then, I didn’t even have a license but I drove it around Delhi quite a bit. Now my car had the uncanniest habit of breaking down at the most inopportune of moments. For instance, I recall a particularly embarrassing experience associated with my first car. One winter evening, I was out on a long romantic drive with a date. Suddenly, the car decided to start playing up ? in fact, it broke down. And there I was in a sticky situation, as I couldn’t really ask my date to push the car. These small goof-ups aside, I didn’t face any other trouble from the car ? probably it helped that I had it for just one year!
