Buzzing around on my Honda Activa

image0

At Bangalore I'm usually driving my bicycle - either to office or short trips to, say, nearby stores. Occassionally I get to drive my friend's Activa.

At Ernakulam, where I'm from, I drive a Honda Activa (current active user : my sister). Was home for about a week recently and I rediscovered the joys of driving it. The Activa is Honda's big hit in India. Easy to use (automatic gears) but powerful enough, it's a pretty good vehicle. Especially in cities. It was wonderful to once again feel the wind in my face (figuratively, I was wearing a helmet of course) and the rush of speed (only 40 kmph, but still good enough for me :D).

I would love to own an electric vehicle like the Activa sometime. Wonder when one will reach these shores.
