ADVISORY for those headed to Ladakh
I am getting such calls multiple times a week these days. Thanks to social media and better roads, an increasing number of people want to drive nonstop to Ladakh, especially Pangong.
As the calls keep coming, I often hear the same concerns

He is oh so right : driving ethics / antics / behaviour in India is at its lowest ever.
We say we are an emerging super power : blah! See how drivers / riders are in countries like Malaysia / Thailand / Vietnam. We are a long way away....
Quick clip showcases all different angles of the recent VW Polo crash off the flyover in Hyderabad. Driver is super lucky to have survived but will surely be under prosecution for various offences.

Ecosport pricing is here. With the 1.5 starting at 7.99 lakh, it's even better VFM than ever before. My pick though remains the diesel thanks to it's smooth operation, terrific torque and excellent fuel economy.
