Hatchback – a new word added to my lexicon. And I have my seven year old cousin to thank for it. Apparently it is used to denote a car that is accessible from behind by a single flip-up window. While I’m sure he has ‘wiki’d it up, the reason for the crash course in vocabulary is the brand new Ritz that he owns. A proud car owner at the age of seven. Of course, it is his dad who does all the driving around…
My vehicular sensibilities were put to a grueling test by this seven year old. Blame mass media. And him going gaga over engine capacities and ABS! Whoever asked ‘Kya aap paanchvi paas se tez ho?’ was a sadist.
ABS? I’m sure as he grows up he will soon realize that abs can only mean one thing to a girl; and it has got nothing to do with cars.
