nMy very first car was a Maruti van. It holds a special place in my heart, being the first car I bought with my own money. It was about twenty something years ago, and I never looked back to regret.

The Maruti van was highly affordable for my pocket then. I needed a car for personal travel, yet it had to be something that I could use for work as well. Being spacious, the Maruti van fit my requirements to a T. It was the best possible thing to have happened at the work front and on other occasions it behaved perfectly as the ideal family car.

I upgraded my wheels two years later and now, after years and many more changes, I get to have a Honda Accord of my own. But Maruti vanss still exist very much in our lives. As a matter of fact, we have four such vans at work, relieving me of a lot of unnecessary hassle. That first car was sold off somewhere down the line, but Maruti vans still loom large in my life as saviour par excellence.
