A
young couple goes to buy a Thar Rox from a Delhi showroom. The purchase
formalities are completed. All documentation is done. The simmering niceties of
the courteous staff. Richly fine smiles of the receptionist. The entire
establishment smirking obligingly.
The brand new SUV is displayed on the
showroom’s first floor; parked there with its well-defined compactness.
Magniloquently. The beckoner of distant dreams on country paths and curved
intricacies in the hills.
The proud, excited couple is sitting in
the SUV accompanied by an employee from the showroom. The vehicle heralds the
exciting prospects of many off-road journeys. Lovingly lolling journeys calling
munificently.
But before that they want to complete a
ritual, which our honorable defense minister performed in France while buying
Rafael jets—a lemon squeezed under the new plane’s tyre. As per our cultural
traditions, squeezing a lemon under a new vehicle is considered very
auspicious. Our beliefs propel our journeys from bullock carts to fighter jets
to space ships.
The excited owner but accidently presses
the accelerator too hard. Futuristically over-imaginative maybe. The SUV jerks
gruffly and moodily. There goes the SUV on its first journey on the path of
excitement. It’s an interesting off-road journey right from the start.
The brand new SUV crashes through the
glass panes and lands on the road below. Luckily there are no injuries to the
passengers. No passerby injured either. Just a poor man’s bike gets a little
damage.
Well, that proves to be a successful
crash test at least. The company will take pride in the fact. Free real-life
testing it turns out to be.
I hope it doesn’t breed distrust between
the partners. The wife might get doubtful about her husband’s capabilities of
being a good driver of the SUV of their matrimony. I hope this momentary
goof-up isn’t incisive enough to be detrimental to their matrimonial health.
Maybe time itself was overcautiously
overloaded and thus nervously goofed up during those moments.
