Aditya from Bangalore: Cars, Tech & More

Hello Team-BHP Members,

I'm Aditya, based out of Bangalore. Thrilled to be part of this passionate community. My journey with cars started when I was just 14 and has only intensified over the years. I've been fortunate to own a variety of cars, each with its own unique personality:
  • Audi A4 1.8T Quattro (Millennium Falcon)
  • Acura TL (Robin)
  • Hyundai i20 - The one car I didn't name
  • Honda Jazz CVT (Shadowfax)
  • Mahindra XUV700 AX7L Petrol AT (Garuda)

I've just taken delivery of my Mahindra XUV700 10 days ago, and I'm already in love with it. In fact, I've already completed a 500 km round trip to Mysore. A detailed ownership review and travelogue are in the works and will be shared soon. The wealth of reviews and ownership posts on this forum were invaluable in the days leading up to my car delivery.

Beyond cars, I'm a huge fan of astrophotography, traveling, movies, and reading. I'm also a big technology enthusiast and have ventured into DIY home automation. Would love to assist anyone looking to tech-enable their lives.

Looking forward to attending meetups in the Bangalore area and contributing to this vibrant community.

Cheers,
Adi

Hello Adi,

Great to see you on the forum. Thats quite a variety of cars that you have owned over the years. From sedans to hatches and now an SUV. Congratulations on the XUV700. Its a great all round package and looking forward to reading your ownership review.

Since you love astrophotography, it would be awesome to see your work.

Hope to catch up with you in the forum discussions.

Thank you Dippy for the warm welcome! Yes, I was fortunate enough to own a variety of cars each very different from the other. The only thing I need now is an EV to complete my line-up.

I am still only in the beginning stages of this hobby and I have a long way to go, but here's my journey so far.

That's quite amazing. You should definitely start a thread detailing your experience on how you got started since you mentioned you are at beginning stages. I was always interested in it but never knew how to take the first step. There's too much info on internet to confuse one

Re: Aditya from Bangalore: Cars, Tech & More

Thank you, Revvatron and IamNikhil. I didn't think this was the right forum for those adventures, but clearly, I was mistaken. I will definitely start a new thread detailing my adventures in Astrophotography!

Revvatron, that's quite true. I can guide you with beginning your journey and help you make the leap. Joining Astro-related clubs and engaging there can be beneficial.
