Finally, I found my car - Its Datsun redi-GO...

"I can’t move an inch further," My friend said as we came out of the entrance of a car show room.
"Hey please, just one more show room". I pleaded.
“Madam, What kind of car are you expecting? From morning we must have visited at least 8 car showrooms and you are not satisfied with any of the models. For your budget and your expectations, a new car model has to be launched.” She said sneered.
“Hey, buying a car needs lot of research. I am looking for something that is with unique design and also which gives decent mileage. Yes above all within my budget”
"I don’t think so you will finalize a car” my friend taunted.

As we were riding towards Hosur Road, I suddenly put a halt on seeing the SURYA NISSAN showroom. I parked my two-wheeler in front of the show room and we entered the showroom. One of the sales representative welcomed us. We had a glance at all the car that were displayed in the showroom. Then my eyes caught the brochure that was displayed in a stand.

It was a brochure of the Datsun redi-GO car that was going to be launched soon. I called the representative and asked him to give more information about the new car.

"Fun. Freedom. Confidence. The ultimate Urban Cross - Datsun redi-GO - the capability of a crossover with the convenience of a hatchback," replied the sales representative.

First thing that impressed was its new design. I was looking for a compact one, and this hatch back was an added advantage. The representative replied, first time a hatch back car with a SUV performance. Being a women I always felt its tough to drive a SUV because of its size and I always felt I cannot enjoy riding the SUV and its performance. But does that mean we should not enjoy its performance?  When the sales guy said, it give a SUV performance, I felt awesome. And the best part it was within the budget, It was expected to be around 3 lakhs.

As far as I know, If the car is priced at 3 lac, mileage might be below 20 and there won’t be air bags, When asked about the mileage of the car they said it gives around 25 kmpl also Datsun comes with an airbag and hence the car is absolutely safe. You can drive with absolute confidence.

Coming to interior part, there is lot of storage to keep a person belongings. The door has a pocket and water bottles can be placed over there. Apart from this, there is a side storage. The interior are as spacious and stylish. When I saw the image of Accelerator, the representative understood the question that ran in my mind. He immediately pitched in and said this car comes with Electronic accelerator pedal. When my friend asked about the difference or the use of electronic pedal, he explained that it helps in smaller emission which will in turn cut the cost of maintenance.

Above all it comes in 5 different colors with white, grey, Sky, sliver, Ruby. The sky variant was different and unique when compared to all the models in the market now, hence I decided to opt for SKY color.

As soon as I came out of the showroom, I started dreaming about the car. My friend was extremely relaxed as I finalized a car. Without second thought, I suggested my idea of going on a long drive in the new car. While returning home, we fixed to travel to Hampi. It was my dream place and travelling and exploring its historical momentum with dream car would be the biggest gift.

Here is the video about the new car

Malaysia Magic: Exploring Penang Island and Langkawi

Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand were the swiss chocolates on my bucket list of travel destinations. And lo and behold, the universe decided to sprinkle some magic dust on me this year, granting me the golden opportunity to embark on my first international adventure in Malaysia. 

My sister had been living in Malaysia and with their presence in Malaysia, it was the perfect opportunity to explore this country together. After all, what better way to enjoy a vacation than with your loved ones?

When I shared my travel plans with my sister, her energy echoed through the phone. We wasted no time and promptly planned travel arrangements, eagerly counting down the days until our departure.

The moment we mentioned that we were going on an international trip, my Aunt Sumathi immediately insisted that we stop by KSR College. She handed me some money, telling me to buy something special there, and gave us a heartfelt send-off. With her cheers still ringing in my ears, we hopped on the flight and magically touched down in Malaysia after a mere three hours. And boy, oh boy, the moment we hit the road, we were greeted with the most pristine streets and jaw-dropping architecture that made us wonder if we had accidentally stumbled into a fairy tale.

But wait, there it was, the crown jewel of the city: the Petronas Twin Towers. Those magnificent towers stood tall and proud, winking at us with their captivating height and architecture. Naturally, we couldn't resist their tempting allure, but since we desperately needed to freshen up from our long journey, we decided to postpone our tower-trekking exploration until the cover of night.

And guess what? My uncle, insisted that the towers were even more enchanting after sunset, thanks to a spectacular display of music and flashy lights. It was like they transformed into the ultimate party destination, complete with a DJ booth and disco ball. So, with anticipation bubbling in our veins, we prepared ourselves for a nighttime rendezvous with the Petronas Twin Towers.

The next morning, our grand plan was to conquer China town and then venture off to Batu Caves. I swear I've seen that Muragan statue in every movie known to mankind. But here's the kicker: the climb to the caves involved a whopping 272 steps. Now, picture this: my adorable little nephew Sanju, who's a mere three years old, couldn't possibly conquer those stairs with his tiny legs. Poor thing, he started complaining about his achy legs. That's when Super Aunt (that's me) sprang into action. Without a second thought, I scooped up my little hero and decided to take on those 272 steps in one heroic leap!

Looking back on it now, it feels like a miracle. Perhaps it was my secret training for the mythical marathon that bestowed me with superhuman stamina. Oh, the things we do for family!

As the sun began its descent, we bid farewell to Kuala Lumpur's wonders and set off on yet another airborne adventure. Our next destination? Aquaria KLCC, because apparently, we just couldn't get enough of being surrounded by fascinating sea creatures. I mean, who needs gills when you can explore underwater worlds in style?

After soaking up all the aquatic marvels, our time in Kuala Lumpur came to a close. We hopped on another flight, this time from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Perlis.

There was not much places to visit in Kuala Perlis. One Monday morning, we were bored and decided to visit Ladang Nipah Kipli which was near to my sister home. But it was closed since it was a Monday. Then we returned home after some chit-chat. Since there are not much places to visit in Kuala Perlis, we planned for Penang and Langkawi.

Our Penang escapade kicked off with visits to the fascinating Karumariamman and Dharmikarama Burmese Temples. There's this cool belief where you pick a number, and that number reveals some mystical fortune. I don't know about that, but I was practically buzzing with excitement as I entered the Buddha temple. I mean, who wouldn't be attracted to Buddhism when you feel those positive vibes coursing through your very soul?

Next up, we frolicked in the Penang Botanic Gardens and got lost in the magical world of the Penang Butterfly Farm. Oh, the sheer joy of having those delicate creatures fluttering around us, their vibrant wings painting the air with a kaleidoscope of colors. Trust me, this place is a butterfly enthusiast's paradise!

But wait, there's more! Penang is a treasure trove of captivating attractions, like the Toy Museum, Penang State Museum & Art Gallery, and the awe-inspiring Penang Khoo Khongsi. You'll need a good four days to fully immerse yourself in the wonders of Penang. And let's not forget the Penang Bridge, a mesmerizing spot to cruise along during the enchanting evening hours, taking in the breathtaking beauty of the island.

Our final stop on this whirlwind journey was none other than Langkawi. While it may not boast as many attractions as Penang, it still has its fair share of must-see wonders. We couldn't resist soaring high above the clouds on the Langkawi Cable Car, striking a pose in front of the iconic Eagle Square, and delving into the mysterious depths of the underwater world.

With our camera filled with cherished memories, we bid farewell to Langkawi and made our way back to Kuala Lumpur, where our return flight awaited us. This trip will forever hold a special place in our hearts, as it marked our very first international adventure. The memories we made, the places we explored, and the joy we felt will forever be etched in our travel journal of unforgettable experiences.
