nMy first car was a Maruti 800, which I bought only in 2001. That’s because before that it was just bikes all the way for me. Nonetheless my 800 was sweet, rugged and it lived through the potholes of Calcutta. I have quite a few fond memories of the car and it served me well till 2002. I upgraded to a Ford Ikon because I needed a roomier car.

Being a complete bike freak, I have even fonder memories of my very first bike ? a Yezdi 250. I used to be a crazy rider and would do all sorts of things on my bike ? things that I’d never attempt to do today. I remember taking turns at 80kmph, doing wheelies and loads more ? it was a crazy time! I had that bike for about one-and-a-half years, after which I graduated to my first foreign bike ? a 50cc Honda MBX with six gears, water cool engine and more. Of course, the stunts I pulled on that bike will make up a whole new story.
