Had to go for a meeting at short notice with a friend of mine in Mumbai. That was not all, at the same time the nation was reeling with stories of Swine Flu all over Pune killing it seems everyone in their path, later we did know that news channels do exaggerate and Swine Flu is well like any other Flu. Gets cured and some even do not get to know that they ever got it in the first place.
That aside.
The idea then was to avoid all modes of public transport and head to Mumbai from Bangalore. The car was the only answer. [more]
This is an absolute no-brainer. By which I mean, you really do not need anyone to point you in a particular direction to get till Sivanasamudram. And if you are in Bangalore or are passing through for some reason and have a few hours at hand, it’s a must visit destination.

How do we get there?
Very simple actually. Somehow get to Kanakpura road from Bangalore. If you are residing in South Bangalore, half the job is done. Getting to Kanakpura road from south Bangalore is a breeze. But if you are from North Bangalore or from satellite towns like Yelahanka, things are a little bit more tricky. On a weekday I would recommend the Outer Ring Road for a problem and misdirection free ride till Kanakpura road. This would be a long ride, so start early. You can also take the shorter route through the city but that will be plagued by extensive one-ways and too many traffic signals.

The Ford Fusion was originally launched in Europe as a slightly bigger version of its sibling, the Fiesta, and shared the same engine and retained much of the same dynamics in a larger size.
The Ford Fusion merges well with India.
In 2005 ford India started marketing the same here, in an almost un-changed avatar to what was available in Europe. The car suffered from terrible marketing from Ford’s side in India hitting way off the mark for the Target Audience. They tried their “Hum to anything karega” and “The No-Nonsense Car” campaigns, with the later gaining some ground.
The Car is at its best on the Highways
