I lived with the Mahindra Thar for a year and now that she’s gone, I can’t tell you how much I miss her.
I MISS HER. EVERY DAY I LOOK AT the empty spot she used to occupy, there’s a pang in my heart. I’m talking about the Mahindra Thar that I had with me for over a year as my long term vehicle.
It was a perfect marriage in more ways than one since I have been the certified off-road nut at the office. I’d rather be crawling over rocks than racing down to turn one at the MMRT. So honestly speaking I can’t say I was particularly surprised when I was handed over the keys to the Thar. And boy, have I loved every one of the 365 days I spent in her company.
