Munnar to Kolkata drive by Saju Chacko for TTF 2018 by Mahindra XUV500 in June - July 2018







This Cheetah (Mahindra XUV500 bearing the registration number KL-16K-2545) keeps prowling from Gods Own Country (Kerala) to Sweetest Part Of India (West Bengal) and back around the same time every year for 4 years in a row.

The initial inspiration for undertaking the hectic sales & marketing work related trips on road was sowed into hotelier friend Saju Chacko, the owner of two such Cheetahs by none other than me, Deep Banerjee (the founder of this forum), when I myself drove Kolkata to Munnar in March 2015 for the first time and stayed in his cozy hotel.

In the present edition of the drive, the itinerary so far has been as follows:
2018-06-28 Munnar - Tirupati.
2018-06-29 Tirupati - Vijaywada.
2018-06-30 Vijaywada.
2018-07-01 Vijaywada - Rajahmundry - Vizag.
2018-07-02 Vizag.
2018-07-03 Vizag - Ferry crossing on Chilka Lake - Cuttack.
2018-07-04 Cuttack - Kolkata.

Saju strictly follows the IndianRoadie philosophy/ diktat of NoPlannedNightDriving.

He drives without a hitch knowing jolly well that IndianRoadieOnRoadAssistance is just a call away.

Saju and his team of four more friends have been hosted in a safe, comfortable, affordable and conveniently located boutique IndianRoadiePreferredHotel in east Kolkata.

We keep interacting on the phone and WhatsApp for precision planning of his trips pan-India for quite a few weeks every year. I personally met him on 2018-07-04 evening to help him plan out the finer details of his work schedule for the few days of his stay in Kolkata.

The cute dirty Cheetah was IndianRoadieStickered and photographed while peacefully resting outside the hotel on Wednesday 2018-07-04 late evening.
