The Car , the Plastic and the Gods !!

This is by an Indian , and can only be understood by an Indian , the others can give it a try and see if this makes sense .

Buying a car in this part of the world is a big affair . Big enough for your family , your uncles family , your friends , and many more unknown relations to participate . The more a middle class family you belong to the more advices you “ must “ seek .

On the delivery day the car rolls out with plastic sheets covering the seats . Dare you try removing them since they serve two purposes if not three -

a) The neighbors have no other way to figure out if you bought a new car or a pre-owned car . Now there is too much at stake.

b) The seat covers have to last a life time so the only way is to use the omni present plastic sheets which makes sure nothing gets dirty .

We Indians are very particular when it comes to hygiene and cleanliness , we just cannot stand any dirt be it on the roads or in the car .

Before one can even fire the engines its important to make sure that the Gods have been given their rightful place and see how pretty do they look sitting/hanging (which ever way you feel more religious) .

For the long life of the car you must pay a visit to the temple of your choice , since its important that the owner and the owned both keep fit .

The Car , the Plastic and the Gods are here to stay , aren't they ?

Fasten your seat belt and drive safely !
