This is a clear case of vandalism and I believe it happened in the parking lot of Barbeque Nation in Gurgaon.
Anyways, there is little I can do. Scratches are something that have no solution. I would have to learn to live with these bastards.
Update: Things have gone worse. The rat is back in the car. And there is shit all around. I did not have too much courage to look for any damage. The car started fine so that’s pretty good I guess.
Last time I checked Tata DOCOMO, Idea and Vodafone had 3G licenses for Haryana.
I assumed that applied to Gurgaon too.
But this tweet from the Tata DOCOMO team is rather mmm surprising.
@Sushubh Yes, we DO have the licence 4 Haryana, but not for Gurgaon! #3GLife

Gurgaon is considered part of Delhi NCR above Haryana?
That means Airtel, Reliance and Vodafone are going to serve in Gurgaon?
HUDA administrator Nitin K. Yadav had announced earlier this month that they would clean up all the bad roads in the city by September 30.
And if anyone sees a bad patch or a pothole on any of the roads, they can submit a photo of the spot with details at their email address.
I plan to do it… I had like all Gurgaon people visiting this blog to do the same.
Of course, this changes nothing. There is no accountability. But we gotta do what we gotta do!
If you venture out on the roads of Gurgaon during office hours, you would realize that you have landed in a battleground.
And if you are in a luxury car and you are driving yourself, you are going to go nuts and probably bald.
The best mode of transport in these conditions is a bike and that’s what I end up using during the horrid times.
My dad was pretty frustrated last year when I told him that I wanted to buy a bike. I had just sold two hatchbacks to get a sedan and that looked like a very stupid decision after a while. A bike was the logical choice to travel locally and looks like it was a good decision.
I am proud of the people of Delhi NCR who manages to fight it out everyday just to get to their offices and home. They deserve a medal for their courage and patience.
Gurgaon administration has been a complete failure to do ANYTHING to fix the problems in Gurgaon. Earlier it was just traffic. Now we have fcuked up roads and traffic.
Update: I was part of this latest Delhi Metro Fiasco!
I am not saying that Delhi Metro is not doing a good job. But what I am going to say here is that they are faltering and they are faltering rather badly.
Maybe, it is not their fault. Maybe the government is pushing them so hard that they are giving up on the previously set standards.
But I am a disappointed man today.
I have been hearing cases on how Metro stops on the way for an hour or so… for not so apparent reason. Passengers are just told that there are some technical faults causing the delay.
I became part of a similar journey myself today. I was on my way to Shahdara from Gurgaon on the newly open metro route.
We had managed to reach Delhi but Metro stopped on the way. After a while it started and stopped on the next station.
At that station, we were told that it would not go any further and we would have to take another one from another platform.
We took the other train but after waiting for 20-25 minutes, we were again told that there are some more technical difficulties and the journey would resume after a while.
No clear details. Just a generic message that kept repeating after every five minutes or so.
I can give them the benefit of the doubt. But the way it has been happening rather regularly, I would not be taking a Metro unless I have ample of time in my hands and I am prepared to handle such random delays.
With no water and loo accessible… This is turning into a not so excellent traveling alternative for us folks.
Things were pretty bad tonight because of the power fluctuations.
And for the first time ever, my UPS battery died. Thankfully, APC has this cool software that hibernated the machine just in time.
I checked out the status and the stats are pretty bad. It shows the data for the entire week but most of the damage was done in the last couple of hours.
Things are looking much better now. I hope it continues. Because the battery in the UPS would take a lot of time to charge completely. Right now I have just 3 minutes of battery time with me. Blame the 27 inch display I am running these days.
Alright. I went to McDonald’s at Manesar Gurgaon today. The experience most of the times is average. But it turned out to be a major irritation.
While ordering the food I specifically asked the server if the food was fresh and not from a couple of hours ago.
I was coming back from Delhi last night and I was running out of fuel. :D
I was pretty sure that I would reach Gurgaon ‘comfortably’ but Somanshu made me fill the tank in Delhi itself.
