Dear Fellow Bhpians,
Is was a pretty hectic day at work yesterday, the 21st of October 2015 just before the long weekend owing to the Dussehra holiday. The traffic on the way back home was pretty crazy and i had planned to watch a movie near home as well. As luck would have it my car (8 yr old Santro) broke down on the highway and landed up missing the movie

. Got home tired and in a pretty foul mood. Settled down to watch some TV and i get a notification of a new mail on my phone from Team- BHP. The first words that caught my eye were 'Congratulations and Welcome'.

What a feeling that was. It was then time to celebrate.
Thank you so much to the moderators and other members for having me. This has been indeed an elaborate process. Been following the forum for the past 7-8 years and it is one of the first websites that i open in office every day. Have been applying to be a member of Team-BHP for the past year and half and got lucky on the fifth attempt. Infact we booked(pre-booked) the ford ecosport at the time of launch solely on the basis on information and discussions I read here on Team-BHP. I already have the got-bhp sticker which i refused to put up on any car until i officially became a member. But considering I plan to change my car, will hold off till i get a new car.
A little bit about myself.
1) I am in my early Thirties
2) I work for a financial services firm in Mumbai and head a function for the India business
3) I have a few friends who already are Team-BHP members and considering i try reading a lot about cars online, invariably google would lead me to a Team-BHP article/forum (Thats how i heard about Team-BHP)
4) I quite enjoy driving and have been fascinated with all things cars. Other than the obvious, i love to read quite a bit and am currently in the midst of a P.G.Wodehouse marathon (owing to the long-weekend). I also love my music and just completed a pet project over the last 6 months of buying and setting up 5.1 system at home.
5) I currently own a 2007 model Black Huyndai Santro (will be needing help from the forum as i am currently looking to replace this), and in the family we have a Ford Ecosport, Mahindra MM540, Alto (looking to replace as well) and Bullet (1978 model) which i used during my college days. Also my younger brother just bought a Honda Jazz (V) 20 days back. We previously owned a Mitsubishi Lancer, Tata Sumo, Ambassador Isuzu, Ambassador Mark 4, Mahindra International (Jeep).
I hope i didn't overdo the introduction, but this is just my excitement coming out. Thanks once again and hope to interact with each of you a lot more over the coming years.
Happy Revvin'
