The Tale of AUDIs and BMWs

When I was in Jaipur doing my graduation, I always thought of Honda City as my dream car with the Audis and the BMWs were to be seen and to be adored only on Google images. That time it was a status symbol to have a Honda City and was a rare species to be found. Then I moved to my post graduation and the dream status symbol also shifted its axis from Honda City to Honda Civic. Here again the BMWs and the Audis were only to be seen on Google Images. It looked like future was in the womb of the Mother Nature and I was not able to see it.

So I have completed my post grad and have moved to a city which carries a name tag of “village” with its name however, is in no sense one. Yes it is Gur-“GAON” and I feel that it is one of the most advanced cities of the country. I said this because when I drive from my residence to my office, I see a lot of Audis and BMWs on my way apart from a large number of Skodas and Toyotas and Hondas. At times, these premium cars can be seen in the form of taxis as well.

However as far as my status goes, I was driving a Hero Honda Splendor plus then and I am driving the same vehicle now as well. The only change that has happened is that now these cars can be seen on the road and I don’t need to access Google images to see them.
