Need a solid road-trip companion? The Hyundai Creta has got your back
-
Working from home used to be fun at one point. One could get an incredible amount of work done from the comfort of one’s own house without worrying about the commute. However, things change; now it feels more like you’re sleeping at work rather than working at home. One fine weekend, I decided to take matters into my own hands and take a break from work. It’s been a few months since I’ve been on a proper road trip, so asked a few of my equally frustrated friends to take the weekend off and explore the great outdoors with me.
Now, there are plenty of scenic locations a stone’s throw away from Mumbai, but because they’re so close they attract a lot of people, and even during lockdowns some of these locations got pretty crowded. After being cooped up at home, the last thing we wanted to see was a crowd, so we set off in search for some quiet and calm. Now the only question that remained was which car to take, and it didn’t take long to pick the new Hyundai Creta.

CHARACTER CERTIFICATE
Recently, I drove the new Mahindra Bolero, an all-black number that somehow still manages to turn heads and spark conversations. Of course, the bare-basic automobile made me wonder out loud at length about its nature. The seats were terrible, it didn’t go very fast, it didn’t steer all that well at whatever speeds it could muster, and stopping was as much a matter of braking technology as it was of prayers. But I liked it. It had character. It sort of reminded me of the Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber, which once pleasantly surprised me with its lovely nature, even though I was done for by the end of the day. The days spent in the Bolero and on the Bobber confirmed what I've always known — too much character is bad for my back.
