My Baleno's battery conked off on Friday and I had to drive to office in my 800.
I have seen 800s whiz past me while driving on GST road. Obviously I am not a fast and furious kinda driver (furious maybe, but not really fast) and my 800 has not really gone very long distances at a stretch - probably a 25 km distance would be its longest.
So clearly, having to chug along on an empty GST road at a speed of 70 Kmph, after being used to doing high-80s to 90s on my Baleno, made me relate to all those Deccan Air pilots who do this short segment flights on the ubiquitous ATR planes. Think about it. They would have been flying boeings and airbuses in Indian Airlines and then they get lured to Deccan with higher pay and what not. But they end up chauffeuring an ATR!
A classic case of "eppadi irundha naan, ippadi aayittaen".

It is all the little things that go about making it memorable. For instance if you are on a post war Frazer Nash on GST Road, the noise, the vibrations, the sliding would make it more memorable than something more sophisticated and quicker.
If you find the car talk distracting just replace the "Frazer Nash" with Meanbody Muneemma and you may get nearly the same message.
