Sorry guys, i was pretty tied up the whole weekend. Didn't even switched on the laptop

OK, here we go

The two guys offered to help us by towing the car to Mandya which is the nearest town. Now don't think about a Splendor with a Palio on tow. So the plan is this, the guys will go to their village and find a Sumo or Qualis and come back to the location.

I called my brother on this mobile, luckily Airtel had network coverage. They were still travelling on the bus towards Halgur. I told him about the 2 guys and about the "help on the way". They cannot just get down the bus and come back as they cannot find a vehicle without reaching Halgur, so they go to Halgur.

Around 30 minutes should have passed and we hear an approaching vehicle which turns out to be a Sumo with 4 guys on board. As they came closer i could recognize the guys sitting in the middle row, the same guys who offered to help me a while ago. The Sumo stops and 3 guys get down and the sumo drives forward to find a place to reverse.

The 3 guys help me to reverse the Palio, man it was damn heavy at 1300 kilos and the steering felt like a truck steering( i never drove a truck). It took a while to get the Palio reversed.

Now the Palio is in place and Sumo in front of it, the guys get down to business. They had a rope in the Sumo and tied it on the tow hook of the two cars and we are set to go. There was a gap of approximately 10 feet between the cars.

Another vehicle is coming towards to us, it was a load auto with my bro and friend standing on the luggage area. Man everything is in place now, it was quiet a relief.

Except me and girl, everyone board the Sumo and we start towards Mandya. It was well past 2 in the afternoon.
