Hello from a prodigal son ...

Cheiron · 31st October 2011, 16:51

Hello. Glad and honored for the opportunity to be a part of the Team-BHP community.

I am a entrepreneur in social work, i.e. am trying to do good while doing well. I've owned a spectrum of cars over the years all the way from a humble Saturn (first) to a slightly more luxurious

Mercedes E430 (most recent) - none in India, though I learned how to drive on a Maruti 800 way back when.

I came across Team-BHP while researching cars in India - things having changed much since the days when I was last involved in purchasing an Indian car (light green 800). Thank you to the Team-BHP community for the time and effort of so many that has made this forum an invaluable resource for car (and bike) info. I hope to give as much as I have received, if not more in the coming days.

Thanks to the admins. for a really prompt approval.

Hey Cheiron (is that a play on Chevron?), welcome to TBHP !!!

BTW, what is it with the "prodigal son" part ?

Thank you. Cheiron is a play on Chiron the Archer associated with Sagittarius. Prodigal son refers to returning to India after decade plus abroad to a warm welcome similar to the New Testament parable in Luke.

Welcome aboard Cheiron!!
And welcome back to India!!

By the way, Chiron is a centaur in Greek mythology, is he not? A wise centaur known for his knowledge of healing and he tutored Achilles as well..
