Hello from Bangalore

GearHeadGarage · 8th July 2019, 17:09

Hi Folks,
This is Bipin here. I'm basically from Kerala, settled now in Bangalore. Made it to the forum last week at long last after a few failed tries. Been a lurker since 2010! Feels like some kind of achievement! Making my first post on my birthday somehow seemed right. I would not call myself an auto enthusiast at any level. But i have been driving cars for almost 15 years now. And they have all been automatics

Mechanical engineer by studies, Technology consultant by day, and indulge myself in one of my several hobbies by night. Current hobbies include aquascaping and gardening these days. An aspiring minimalist. Also trying to learn a lot about self sustaining buildings and architecture to implement them in my dream home. I have used this forum not just for knowing about the auto scene, but also my other varied interests. This is such a treasure trove of knowledge.

Below is a list of Cars I have owned:
1. Honda Civic (2009-2012)
2. Ford Fiesta (2013-2018)
3. Toyota Prado (2012-2016)

Looking forward to having a great time with all you knowledgeable folks here!

Welcome the forum! Where in Bangalore?

Aquascaping - interesting. There is a thread for that too in here somewhere. Do join in.

Minimalism - alas, I wish we could all follow that.

Welcome to the family Bipin.

A thread on your dream home would be nice. You can share your ideas here and I'm sure you will get a lot more unique ideas from us Bhpians.

Also looks like you currently don't have a car. What's the plan on that front?

Welcome to Team-BHP Bipin and belated happy birthday!

I'm sure you will have a great time interacting with the members. You might even meet some aquascaping enthusiasts, who knows
