The Cheerful Pack-Mule: A North-Easterner’s Love Letter to the Santro on Our ‘Roads’
Brother, let’s not use fancy words. Here, in the lands where clouds sleep on the roads and a ‘highway’ can suddenly turn into a riverbed, we don’t have ‘off-roading’. We have ‘going’. And for ‘going’, for twenty years, the Hyundai Santro wasn’t just a car. It was a member of the family—the short, cheerful, surprisingly tough one that never said no.

Let's be honest. When we see a new SUV on these roads, especially one from a far-off place like Vietnam, we don't just see a car. We see a question mark wearing alloy wheels.

Listen, you can't just walk into a Toyota showroom, slap down the cash for a Fortuner 4x4, and call yourself a mountain explorer. I learned that the hard way.

1 month agoLogbook of a Hill Fleet: Deploying the 2026 Jeep Wrangler on Northeast Patrol
The log entry begins at 0400 hours in a mist-wrapped depot near Guwahati. Our assignment: assess the 2026 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon not on a weekend jaunt, but as a potential fleet asset for remote outpost supply runs in Arunachal and medical evacuation support in Mizoram. As someone who manages a dozen workhorses – from Boleros to old Discoveries – my notes aren't about 'fun'; they're about durabilit...
