Hello Team-BHP Namaskara, Manoj from Bengaluru !
Really excited to be here as a member of BHP. I work in IT industry. Specialised in helping companies scale their cloud infrastructure reliability.
In life I love travelling/hiking to explore new places meeting new people and culture.Being a huge fan of MSC & RF, love watching F1 and Tennis. I love pets and travel with them comfortably long distances.
Got ~250K kilo meters of "making rubber meet the road" experience across many states in India and in US.
Learned to drive on my first car a Hyundai Santro in 2000. Then owned a mitsubishi mirage in the US for couple of years(2001). Got to drive many brands through rental during that time.
Returning to India, my next car was a Maruti Baleno LXi. Rally a fun car to drive even-though the humps in BLR roads were unforgiving to him during that 65K stint with me.
2009 I decided to get an Innova and sold baleno as part of that deal. I wish I kept Baleno and not exchanged it.
Ever since then I am a loyal Toyota customer. Yes I value reliability as an important feature.Replaced my Innova after 100K with a Touring sport, 6 speed Manual. I wish Toyota make 6 speed transmission default on all Crystas. I got a Ten year Old Liva, used mostly to manoeuvre BLR traffic, still in perfect condition & costs almost nothing to maintain.
Apart from Toyotas , I own a VW Ameo 1.5 highline plus with DSG.
looking forward to more interactions.
Stay Safe !
