Game changer

Place: DELHI

A Maruti convertible? That was the first I had ever seen. Unfortunately this one seemed like it was on its way to the scrapyard.

Today the Maruti Suzuki 800 is being phased out, but for well over a decade, it was India's biggest selling car.

It opened up new dreams for middle class Indians, and I still remember when the first cars came in the 1984, in sky blue, maroon, canary yellow etc. A basic car, nevertheless it was almost heaven sent for those tired of the earlier Ambys and Fiats.

It has played a huge role in reshaping modern India, and is still remembered fondly by many.
