The Datsun redi GO...

-


When it comes to driving, its a no brainer that I just love it. I mean which guy (adventure seeking) does not? I learnt riding my own two wheeler when I was very young. I learnt driving during my high school. The addiction of a four wheeler is too much. The comfort and safety of a four wheeler made me forgot my two wheeler absolutely. Since then I have owned and driven many cars. Now my love for travel blogging has infused the love for road trips in me. Now I want to buy a car that is perfect for long drives. I just came across the new Datsun redi Go which seems simply perfect.

My wife's birthday is just round the corner. I am planning a trip to Landsowne. Nestled in the lap of Himalayas, it a seven hour road trip from Delhi. And I feel the Datsun redi Go would be my perfect companion. It is a unique fusion of compact crossover and urban hatchback, offering the best of both worlds. The features which make me feel so are:

Best in Class Ground Clearance:

Riding on the hills requires good ground clearance. I mean the swinging and winding roads are not part of any highway. There are rocks on such roads, sometimes streams flowing and sometimes tree branches et al. The Himalayas being so prone to landslides have boulders on the roads anytime. So I need a car in which I don't have to worry about ground clearance. That is the foremost feature that I am looking for in my car.

Smart and Efficient Performance: 

Excellent Mileage and Small Turning radius:

What is the foremost requirement in a car which you plan to take for a long drive? Of course mileage! If my car doe not have a good average, then the trip would become very expensive. The Datsun Redi go has the best in class mileage. At 799 cc, it has a jaw dropping average of 25.17 km/litre! Whoa is not that impressive? I mean going on a long drive for me it means filling your car's tank and not having to worry when it would vanish! Especially if I am taking my car to the Himalayas, I don't want to worry about refuelling. Petrol pumps are not that frequent on the roads and the last thing I want is to run out of fuel! Such an awesome average means staying out on the road longer and staying out more.
It has a 4.7 metre turning radius. The compact design of the Datsun redi Go provides the ultimate manoeuverability. Driving on the hills becomes a lot easier with this feature.

Drive Computer:

What you don't want to do on a road trip is to take out pen and paper or calculator rather to find out how economically you are driving or what is your fuel economy. The datsun redi Go solves it all! Instantaneous to average mileage, distance to empty, fuel remaining and much more is displayed right in front of your eyes!

Coming back to driving in my city Delhi...the place where I would drive the maximum. In a busy and chaotic city like Delhi, people usually spend one third of their lives driving, stuck in a jam, etc etc. I don't like sedans as they are difficult to manoeuver in narrow, crowded streets. The Datsun redi Go solves my urban driving woes. With such a small turning radius, shift indicator and head lamps design, its so easy to drive in the city. Also its superior air conditioning, fabulous audio system, comfortable interiors and such luxurious seats ensure that I have a good time inside my car even when I am stuck in a jam!


Fun. Freedom. Confidence. The ultimate Urban Cross - Datsun redi-GO - the capability of a crossover with the convenience of a hatchback.I am ready to take it out for a spin!

Effect of COVID 19 on edible oil industry and Palm oil

  The Corona pandemic has caused a havoc on the global economy. Some countries have been more affected than others. I however would like to focus on the effect of the pandemic on the edible oil industry and Malaysian Palm oil especially. Last week I attended a webinar hosted by the  Malaysian Palm Oil Council with Dr Bhavna Shah, country representative of India/Sri Lanka as the speaker and what she said about the palm oil industry right now is really food for thought. How has COVID 19 affected the edible oil industry?  The pandemic caused shutting down of restaurants and catering businesses and hence a drastic reduction in the  import of edible oils. People have reduced eating outside to a very large extent and also takeaway orders have declined. This situation was particularly grave during the lockdown period. The production of cooking oil comes under Essential goods services but the production of containers isn't. Labours migrated back to their villages from the cities in huge nu

A day in my life in Bewakoof.com Joggers and T-shirt

Just because I travel so much, most of the people who don't know me feel that my life is easy. But what they don't understand is that in order to arrange money for travelling, I work freaking hard. I can't even take off on Sundays. However I can wear comfortable casuals on weekends thankfully. Recently I came across Bewakoof.com and really liked their wide range of casuals. I chose a cool pair of denim jeans and a cobalt blue T-shirt . The T shirt spoke my mind: Gotta Move On! Usually my Sundays start very early...I know I don't have the privilege to sleep in. I play cricket and am part of the Delhi Medical Association cricket team. Our matches are held every Sunday, at seven in the morning. So this Sunday too I left at six in the morning to play. After my cricket match, I had to take rounds in my hospital. That took around 3 hours and got free at 5 in the evening. But that was not all. I, being the official Orthopedician of the Delhi Dynamos Team in the Ind

Celebs who I love following on TikTok

The world almost stood still the past two months. While everyone stayed at homes and worked from within, my job didn't permit so. Yes I am a frontline worker (a medical professional) who had to go to the hospital during the entire lockdown time. I was double stressed: Catching the infection myself as well as silently passing on to my two little kids or my elderly parents. I have been seeing and hearing people cursing this quarantined life but they don't understand it's a privilege to be able to stay within the safe confines of home and work and earn. The only respite in this period has been TikTok. Yes, I am now a total TikTok convert.  If there's anything that got a boost during this Corona pandemic, it has to be TikTok. This app has seen billions of downloads and users in the past couple of months. And why not? It's like a breath of fresh air. After I come back from the hospital and undergo a rigorous sanitation regime to ward off any kind
