In the 1970s, India had just a few brands of two-wheelers and cars. The general feeling was that the blessed are the ones who own, ride or even travel as pillion riders on a scooter. I was so thrilled to travel as a pillion rider on my friend’s scooter that I requested him to teach me to drive one. Though it was a new scooter, he instantly agreed to teach me. In fact, I got tensed up about how I was going to learn without falling down or damaging the scooter or hitting anybody.

Believe me, I learnt driving within two days of a two-hour session with my friend. It’s because of his encouragement that I learnt it so fast. I was extremely thrilled that I was going to Chennai with a newly acquired skill.

It so happened that within a few days of my arrival in Chennai, my brother bought a new scooter and I became an expert driver from day one. My brother was happy with my newly acquired skill and encouraged me to go places solo or with him to help in his business.

Subsequently it so happened that I decided to pursue a sales career as my profession and the driving skill of both two- and four-wheelers helped me a lot in that profession. Starting point for all these developments was the first driving lesson by my dear friend.
