    JioMotive (2023) 4G GPS Plug n Play OBD Car Tracker – Honest User Review

    After buying my Mahindra Thar in 2023 (post selling my Volkswagen Polo), one of the biggest drawbacks I noticed was the lack of proper connectivity features. Unlike cars equipped with apps like Adrenox or DigiSense, the Thar’s GPS system doesn’t allow you to track or monitor your car directly from your mobile phone. This was a major letdown for me, especially because my Polo had better connectivity options. That’s when I started looking for a reliable car GPS tracker to bridge this gap. Why a GPS Car Tracker Is Essential in India Car connectivity isn’t just about convenience – it’s about security. Cars like Mahindra Thar, Scorpio, and Hyundai Creta…

    Why Ignoring Wheel Alignment Cost Me ₹30,000 – A Personal Lesson Every Car Owner Should Know

    If you’re someone who regularly drives on highways and assumes your car is in perfect condition because it “feels fine,” you might want to read this. This is my real-life experience with my Mahindra Thar 4×4, and how a small oversight with wheel alignment ended up costing me a lot more than expected. My Car’s Maintenance Story At around 20,000 km, during the periodic service of my Thar at an authorized Mahindra service center, I got the wheel alignment and balancing done – as part of the routine package. Everything seemed perfect. There were: In short, no visible issues that usually signal bad alignment. Since my Thar is mostly driven…

    Why I Chose a New Thar 4×4 Over a Used Luxury Car

    You’ve probably seen them, used luxury cars like BMWs, Audis, and Mercedes-Benz models once worth ₹50-60 lakhs now selling for less than ₹20 lakhs. In some cases, you can even find a BMW or Audi listed for under ₹5 lakhs. Back in 2023, I had just sold my beloved Volkswagen Polo GT TSI (1.0L torque converter engine). While I could tell you a whole story about why I sold it, let’s fast forward to the part where I started exploring options for my next car. Tempted by Luxury for Less At that time, the Maruti Jimny had just launched, and the Mahindra Thar rear-wheel drive (RWD) variant was priced around…

    10 Indoor Plants That Will Instantly Brighten Up Your Home

    I used to be the kind of person who believed that indoor plants look amazing at the nursery, but somehow never survive long after coming home. In fact, I was pretty firm on not having more than two or three houseplants. They’d either wither in a week or just not blend well with the furniture or so I thought. But all that changed after a friendly disagreement with my wife. She insisted we give it another shot, and today, over a year later, we have more than 10 indoor plants in our home and every single one is thriving. Honestly? I’m glad I lost that argument. Because now, not only…

    How I Spend 19,500 Minutes a Year in Bangalore Traffic And Make the Most of It

    Bangalore traffic commute – Life as an IT professional in Bangalore comes with its own unique set of challenges and traffic tops the list. I’ve been living in this city since 2012 and working for a US-based MNC that has a branch office here. Over the years, I’ve learned to accept one thing: traffic in Bangalore isn’t just a nuisance; it’s a lifestyle. Let me share a surprising (and slightly painful) realization. I spend approximately 19,500 minutes every year commuting in a cab just from my home in Anjanapura to my office in Domlur, and back. Yes, you read that right. That’s 325 hours a year.
