Kolkata based Indian Roadie members Devang Sutarawala & his wife had driven to Hyderabad in their Mahindra Quanto in mid-December 2015. On 27th December 2015, they were on their return journey back home. They left Hyderabad early in the morning. Devang had posted an update to the effect on Facebook in the morning.
At 1.20pm, I (Deep Banerjee, the founder of Indian Roadie) got a call on my mobile from a nervous Devang.
Their car had overturned reportedly after the rear right tyre burst or developed a puncture & the mini SUV drifted to the right and banged the median divider. The unfortunate incident happened on NH5 at Gandepally about 50 kms north of Rajamundry (Andhra Pradesh).
Vehicle reportedly was badly damaged. Quite a few glasses had broken. Devang sustained cut injuries on his elbow which could have needed stitching. Wife was unhurt.
Flurry of phone calls to all my relevant contacts followed.
The day being the last Sunday in 2015, most of my contacts pan-India were either travelling, partying or had their mobiles switched off.
After a couple of tries, at 2.40pm I could directly get through to Mr.Jagan, General Manager (M&M Business Unit), NM Motors, Rajamundry. He assured me that by 4pm latest a tow van would reach the accident spot to get the Quanto back to Rajamundry well before sunset.
I even requested Mr.Jagan to make arrangements for a safe & comfortable stay for the couple in Rajamundry.
Moments later, I was informed in Kolkata that a tow van was on its way to bring back the car to Rajamundry.
At 6pm, I called Devang & was relieved to know that the car was already inside the M&M workshop of NM Motors. Devang & his wife were on their way to check in at Akansha Inn. Thereafter, Devang visited some clinic to dress up the wound.
Devang called me in Kolkata at 11pm from the decent Akansha Inn, Rajamundry where he had holed up with his wife. Fellow Indian Roadie Yogesh Srivastava, a senior professional with SBI Life Insurance ensured that a junior colleague of his visit Devang at the hotel. Fortunately, Devang's wound did not require stitching, either.
While talking to Devang, it appeared that he had regained much of his composure.
He was about to tuck himself under the blanket for a well deserved sleep.
On 28th morning Devang visited the doctor again for medication, cleaning & dressing of the wound on his elbow.
I had detailed telecons with Devang and Mr.Jagan throughout the day to ensure that the Quanto is restored to its original condition.
Towards the end of 28th December, NM Motors confirmed that the Quanto can be handed over after complete repairs only after 18 - 20 days.
Devang and his wife are scheduled to reach Kolkata by train on Wednesday, 30th December 2015.
Devang, we are all there with you. Kilometers that separate us don't matter.
At Indian Roadie we travel with every roadie (virtually). The least we can ask from every Indian Roadie is to reciprocate and share every information about their drives/ rides with us. Who knows, tomorrow you might be in dire straits on Indian roads!
We are always Happy To Help.
And Mahindra's tagline 'With you Hamesha' is so apt. The entire network in Mahindra & Mahindra across India should ensure that the good work continues.

Leh and around:::
Leh Palace:
Leh Palace was built during the 17th century by the ruler King Sengge Namgyal. Its construction is on the same lines as the construction of the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet. This palace had to be deserted by the royal family in the middle of the 19th century, because of the taking over of Ladakh by Dogra forces. After this the royal family is living in-exile in the popular Stok Palace. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is restoring some of the ruined portions of this nine-storey palace. While the store rooms were on the lower floors, the royalty resided on the upper floors. The roof of this palace offers an excellent view of the valley.
Jama Masjid:
Located in the heart of Leh town is the Jama Masjid, which is one of the major historical mosques in Ladakh. This mosque is considered to be the biggest mosques in the Ladkah region and consists of a memorial which is known as Shahi Hamdan. This memorial is made in dedication to Mir Syed Ali Hamdani, a Muslim Sufi Saint. It was built in 1666-67 A.D. as a result of an agreement between Aurangzeb, the Mughal Emperor and the then ruler of Ladakh, Deldan Namgyal. Since the time of its construction, the mosque has been dismantled and re-constructed using new techniques.
Stok Palace:
Stok Palace, built by King Tsespal Tondup Namgyal in 1825, in the present times is the residential palace of the royal descendants of King Sengge Namgyal. The architecture of this palace is a perfect mix of the traditional and the contemporary architectural styles. This palatial property consists of a number of beautiful gardens as well as a library that has around 108 volumes of the Kangyur (a collection of teachings of Lord Buddha). The palace is located around 15 kms away from the main city of Leh. This palace hosts an annual dance-mask festival in which there is a huge participation by the locals.
