Happy Ugadi to everyone!!!
Last Friday was Ugadi, the Hindu New Year; also known as Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra and probably many other names all over India... but I digress. So, on that very auspicious day, me and my husband picked up our brand new car!!! Now, that is what I call a good beginning to a new year... :)
It's a Hyundai i10 Sportz (grey). The car is probably the cutest in the hatchback models, in my opinion. I clicked a few pics on my cell of my hubby standing next to the car, which i then promptly shared with my friends. Most of my friends' comments read "WOW". Now, call me jealous, but I wasn't sure whether they were meant for the car or my very sexy husband who was in the same frame. The paranoid moment passed when I got out of the scorching heat of the afternoon sun and into the cooling interiors of my new car! By the way, it was like a sauna outside that afternoon! Thank God for the fast cooling in our new i10. Did I mention we got a New Car??!! ;-)
Anyway, after thoroughly inspecting our new baby, we took it out for a spin upto the Mahalaxmi Temple and back. As a side-note, I think I need to seriously review my geography... i didn't realise Mahalaxmi was that far from Kanjurmarg! But the roads were great, so the distance didn't seem so daunting. It being Gudi Padwa and that too on a Friday, the lines at the temple were quite long, but surprisingly well organized. With Devi Maa's darshan and the new beginnings on this New Year day, it really feels like the start of something new. Hopefully, this year will see many more happy ocassions!
Happy New Year to everyone once again!
