nThe very first car that I can actually call my own is the one I happen to be driving right now. It?s a blue Wagon R, which was presented to me by my husband Partho on my birthday about one-and-a-half-years ago, and that, of course, makes it all the more special to me.

Earlier, I?d use the family cars ? a Maruti Esteem, a Honda City and a Qualis respectively, but the only problem with these was that they were a bit too big and cumbersome for daily use. Especially in my line of work, where I have to visit any number of lanes and by-lanes to meet with the dyers and the karigars, a small car is a must for easy manoeuvrability. And the Wagon R, which is both cosy and comfortable, suits me to a T.

We still use the family car when we?re going for an outing, but when it comes to everyday use, the Wagon R wins hands-down. I love it so much that I don?t see myself giving it up anytime in the near future ? that is if I ever do so at all.
