I have been working as an Auto Journalist for last two years and after much exploration have finally found carandbike as my work home. I am someone who cannot form his memories without cars and bikes have always been a desirable object. All I want is to drive and experience every four-wheeler with a steering wheel and talk or write about it. If you want to see how wide my lips can spread, just get me behind the wheels of a fast car and make me drive across a winding section of the road. Probably the thing I’ll do with the last litre of fuel I could afford.
