No wonder then, why Hyundai had christened this particular name to their worldwide "ix25" offering. They had put, in a word, the
first emotion which was invoked when one beheld the white ix25 concept on display for the very first time. Also, they had to make the name appeal to a worldwide audience as well!
Realising that there was
much more to a car than it's name (as pointed out by many BHPians in subsequent posts in the original Creta thread), I waited with the knowledge that slowly but surely, us Indians would warm up to the unusual sounding, yet unique christianing of the Hyundai compact SUV.
Four days later, news came in of Hyundai advancing the launch date of the Creta from September to
21st July!! Production en-masse was scheduled to start from 20th June, which meant that the official kickstart for the Creta campaign was now greenlit.
Anticipation went into feverish overdrive, as I eagerly awaited the Media Drive reports. Coincidentally, the
first sightings of the uncamouflaged Creta was reported by a Team-BHPian,
klassics45!
With trembling anticipation, I recalled that
one of my good friends who was based in Bangalore, had moved recently to Chennai to be a part of Hyundai India's team. I got in touch with them, and started to get plenty of
insider information on the Creta, including spy pictures,
extra shots from the Media Drive conducted in June-end, and most importantly,
full details on pricing. I was requested to handle all informationdelicately, and to divulge them on a gentle, need-to-know basis to anyone who wanted to know, without pointing directly to the source.
This was during the time when our official
Team-BHP Preview of the Hyundai Creta went live, and "Superman" moderator
Anshuman presented an unique, fantastically-detailed "look" at the Hyundai Creta without any pictures! (Hyundai India had forbidden cameras for the Media Drive, and Team-BHP had honoured this request).
But, blame this on the emailed mis-communication or glaring error in understanding on my part, but the prices which birdie had sent me
(ex-factory) were misconstrued by me to be exact
(ex-showroom) prices!
I was literally trembling with excitement, with the false knowledge that the top-end petrol Creta would be priced around
11 lakhs OTR and would come with most of the bells and whistles the car would be endowed with. This was further affirmed when I showed the prices to my dealership managing friend, and he confirmed that the prices would indeed be on those lines!!
Doubly sure about the prices now, I waited with eager anticipation for the first cars to start arriving at the dealerships so that I could get my hands on it, and if it turned out to be even
75% of what I had anticipated the car would be like, I would be sold on the Creta.
Needless to say, I was to be proved wrong about the prices. Very, very
wrong.
9th July:
The first cars started reaching the dealerships, and that was when I got to see the
first Creta in the flesh!
It was a red SX+ CRDI, and it simply blew my breath away. I checked out the whole car in keen, earnest detail and came away very, very impressed with the Hyundai package.
Only thing remaining was a
proper test drive, in which I indulged in about a week later, when another lot of Cretas were unloaded which included display cars, demo cars and dealership Test Drive cars. The Creta rode very well, had
good road manners and
excellent stability, and was a
wonderful in-city commuter. True, the steering was
light for city speeds, but coming from a Honda City which has a light steering too, it didn't bother me much at all. To reaffirm these traits of the Creta, I indulged myself in multiple test drives (helps immensely when your good friend is the dealership manager).
Received a "composite" quotation from my friend (since actual prices weren't declared yet) for ~11.84 lakhs for the Creta SX+ VTVT, and then I proceeded to busy myself with the payment formalities.
At last, I had found the car
perfectly suited for my needs. It seated 4 in full comfort + could take my little 3-year old easily into the rear seat, was a looker inside and out, could tackle most of the rough roads and patches easily, was loaded to the gills with all state-of-the-art gizmos and then some, had a badge in front which ensured peaceful ownership, and most importantly, had
sealed it's place in my heart.
Out of all the SUVs in this price bracket, a
Hyundai had broken through the ice. I wouldn't have even thought of this car 3 years back simply because of the
italicised "
H" in front, but today the Creta has conquered me completely.
Mind, take a backseat.
BUT, as things would have it, the Mind had
one, final, deep last laugh left.
20th July:
I went back to the dealership for choosing a car from the first lot which had arrived, and my friend asked me if I would want to go ahead with a petrol or a diesel. I replied back that either suited me just fine, and this was where he asked the critical question,
"How much will your running be?" A question which had been firmly rooted behind this entire quest till now! Despite all the claims of better Fuel Efficiency, better resale value, etc.,
I firmly decided to go for petrol just because of the running and cheaper maintenance factors alone. Not to mention the extra ~1.5 lakh rupees for the diesel variant, which equalled almost 3 years' worth of petrol alone!
Went ahead and finalised a White SX+ petrol (which was a June 2015 make) for myself. I had a look at the other colours on offer - Red & Silver - and although the Red looked equally stunning, the White shade on the Creta's contours had bowled me over.
My friend, the dealership manager, invited me to the launch next day at around 4 PM in the dealership, and clarified that after the official launch, they would start delivering the first Cretas and since my booking preceded everyone else's, I was to be the first one to be delivered the Creta from the dealership. I had contacted my bankers and had immediately set about the wheels for the whole payment procedure through RTGS.
Evening time, and I went back to my chosen Creta whom I had named
"LAZARUS", fondled his bonnet lovingly and promised him I would be back the next day to take him home with me.
Now, why "
Lazarus"?
It's a scientific and popular culture term referring to
restoration of life. The exact
Bible reference is for Saint Lazarus of Bethany in the Gospel of John, who was restored to life by Jesus just four days after his death. And since Hyundai has basically resurrected the "ix25" China-specific SUV within days of it's China launch as the "Creta" for Indian and worldwide markets, it was the first word which came to my mind as a name for my Korean steed.
21st July:
From the morning itself, I had started to pray
feverishly that the pricing information I had received from my Hyundai "birdie" would come true.
Left for the dealership at around noon time, in the hope of catching the launch event live there itself and also complete the necessary paperwork for my delivery later in the evening. The official launch was being webcasted live on a huge 50" screen, and then came the announcement of the prices. Variant-to-variant,
Hyundai disclosed almost 1.0-1.5 lakh rupees extra, than what the list in my hands said, for the Creta lineup.
I was stunned, and heartbroken. Not because of what the Creta is priced at, but more because of the fact that my conviction and trust had been completely
dashed!
From being so sure about the pricing "leak" of my birdie and the double confirmation from my dealership friend, I had crashed into the ground head on! At first, I thought that the "leaked" prices were indeed the true ones, and Hyundai India had turned greedy at the last moment because of the overwhelming response to the Creta well before the official launch (
over 10,000 bookings and 28,000 enquiries) and had jacked up the prices accordingly. That's how tough my conviction was.
Immediately called up my "birdie" and talked to them about this, and they clarified that the "leaked" prices shared by them with me were
ex-factory prices, and all other stuff which are added when a car enters a state such as VAT, additional excise duties, cesses, etc., had not been added to that figure.
That explained the steep variation in the final pricing.
But,
the whole experience of the pricing fiasco had left me shaken. Also, I had to re-adjust my funds and more importantly, had to think over everything once more. My practical mind was clearly working at full steam and was not letting me go ahead.
Excusing myself from the proceedings, I left for home. I needed some time to breathe, and to weigh all the pros and cons of my decision.
22nd-27th July:
First thing in the morning, I went back to the options listed.
The EcoSport was costing ~11.5 lakhs for it's top petrol, and the Terrano was priced at ~12.3 lakhs for it's mid-variant petrol. The Creta SX+ petrol now came close to 13 lakhs, and it is the SX+ variant I was getting. Compared to the competition, it is
over 4 meters, has a
proper 1.6L naturally-aspirated engine, is
spacious enough for 5 persons, is
loaded with plenty of gizmos which even the very-funky EcoSport didn't have, has a
huge boot and has an equally
fantastic road presence. Moreover, the petrol Creta came in the
second-top variant, which
didn't exist in the Duster lineup or in the Terrano lineup.
Was it
worth the premium? Specially over the top-end EcoSport? And over the XUV 500 W4, which was very near?
For the first time ever, my mind answered back -
"Yes!"
Taking all these factors into the eventual equation, my mind had finally
"synced" itself with my heart's beating (pun intended). It was a truth that Hyundai had
seriously overpriced the diesels, but the petrol option felt
increasingly VFM, the more I compared with the immediate competition's pricing and offerings, and what all the Hyundai offered at it's price point.
The decision was made.
I was to return back to the dealership and complete my delivery.
Unfortunately on that day itself,
my 3-year-old Princess was taken seriously ill. She battled fever, cold and stomach cramps bravely at home for the next 2 days, till she absolutely
couldn't. On Friday (24th) she had to be admitted to the hospital for one whole day for tests and treatment through an IV drip.
This kept me busy till Sunday, 26th July.
On Monday (27th) I returned to the dealership, only to know that the Creta I had selected
had been given to someone else due to immense pressure on the dealership by a well-connected customer and his contacts with the owner. My manager friend assured me that a
new lot of Cretas was due to land that evening itself (and with more colour options too!), and I could select one from the same.
28th July:
At around 10 AM, I reached the dealership from where I was taken to the dealership stockyard where a whole
lot of Cretas had landed in almost all of the colour options (except Mystic Blue), and after comparing all of them with a keen eye, I decided to stick to
White. (although
Stardust looked very appealing and premium but seemed like it would require more maintenance)
There were 2 White SX+ petrols in the yard - one was a
July '15 make, and the other was a
June '15 make. The July make car had the ODO showing
154 kms, with trip A showing
143 kms!! Even though the car was clean and passed the PDI, I suspected some foul play and ditched it.
The other White SX+ standing at the corner of the stockyard was the June '15 make, with a more reasonable
15 kms showing on it's ODO. The car was completely clean from the outside and inside and also
passed the Team-BHP PDI with flying colours! I gave the car my approval, and it was immediately driven back to the dealership to be prepped for delivery.
Then it was time to go through the final quotation and pricing.
The insurance quoted was a steep
55,184 rupees! Upon inquiring, they said it was company-provided and was from
SBI General Insurance, including all addons which are given for a new car (engine protection, etc.). I immediately called up one of my relatives who works in the New India Assurance company, and enquired about how much the insurance (with zero dep) would come to. He replied that it would cost me around
~27,000, and with zero-dep add-on it would go up to ~32,000,
33,000 tops. I reported this back to the dealership girl and told her to try to match that. She said she would get back to me and within a short while, came back to me and said with a smile that the SBI General insurance policy would cost me around
~41,000 with Zero-Dep. I thought within myself,
that's more like it, and gave her approval for the same. (though I suspected that my manager friend had a hand in lessening the insurance price)
I was asked for possible accessories, but since I knew that most of them would be
very pricey, I opted just for the
3M Underbody Anti-Rust Coating. This was initially bundled with Teflon treatment and pegged at Rs.8,000, and when I waived off the Teflon treatment, they cut the charges by half to
Rs.4,000/-.
Here's the complete breakup of all costs (so far):
The Hyundai Creta SX+ 1.6L VTVT (Polar White)
Ex-showroom - 11,45,384/-
Logistics - 5,000/-
Insurance - 41,096/- (for an IDV of
10,88,115/-, including Zero-dep add-on)
Temporary Registration - 1,500/-
Body Care Package - 4,000/- (3M Underbody Anti-Rust Coating, with 5 years' warranty)
TOTAL = 11,96,980/- (excluding RTO Registration charges)
There was some problem with the RTO office not having registered the Creta as a bonafide new car yet, and the RTO charges were supposed to be raised to
9% (from the existing 7%) in a few days, so the RTO registration had been put on standby. I should get an update on the same in a few days.
Also, I didn't opt for the extended warranty right now, because the Creta comes with a
3-year/unlimited kms standard warranty. Let's see about that once this period is over.
My Lazarus was ready for delivery by 2 PM, and while the paperwork went through it's finishes, the delivery process was completed. Did the rituals and the coconut-breaking, and
received the keys duly from my dealership manager friend amidst loud cheering by the dealership personnel and clapping by other customers present there, as twin confetti guns burst behind us.
I left the dealership by 2:45 PM, and tanked up to the full (
55 liters fuel tank for the Creta) and then decided to subject my Lazarus to the acid test - a drive through the very patchy highways leaving the state capital. About five-and-half hours later, I walked out from my steed extremely satisfied. Not only had he
passed through the rough roads test, but had also maintained his decent composure at high speeds and
ghat cornering/driving as well. The steering was still a bit light-
ish for my liking, but that wasn't a gripe anymore. I had adjusted to it's feel by now.
Driveability:
The next few days have been spent lazing through the city at
30-50 kmph speeds, cruising mostly in the
3rd and 4th gears.
The Creta's size is just about
perfect for an urban cruiser - it's neither too
short like the EcoSport, and neither is it too
big like the Scorpio/Storme/XUV, et al. In fact, I think it's the
ideal size of how long and wide an urban commuter should be (no wonder the Duster sells so highly, outstanding ride quality notwithstanding).
Even though the engine is
a bit lazy in the first gear, it comes into it's own when the 2nd gear is slotted in. The pickup becomes very decent once the
3rd gear kicks in, and this is where the Creta feels perfectly at ease. Have to do a quick in-city dash? Swap between 3rd and 4th gears and the Creta will reward you with
excellent performance, enough to whiz past other cars and leave them behind. The
soft yet taut suspension is another boon, as most of the small potholes, undulations and speed-breakers are dismissed from the Creta's presence. (It's not too soft as say, the Ssangyong Rexton's, whose rear bobs up and down every time it goes over a speed-breaker.)
On the highways however, it's a
slightly different story. The petrol Creta does gallop on open highways easily upto 100 kmph in no time, with all of it's 123 horses pulling it neatly. Even ghat roads with reasonably wide corner sections are of no problem. But come to a steeper incline (and related cornering section) and the petrol Creta's
lack of pull in the higher gears can be felt. A downshift to 3rd is almost
inevitable (sometimes 2nd), as the engine hits it's lagging point. Mashing the accelerator pedal hard will get no response from the engine in the 4th/5th gears in such a situation. Best to come down to the 2nd or 3rd gear (sometimes 1st, if the incline is just too steep), and let the engine
coast through the incline, before hitting flatter ground and coming back into it's own. This is where a Bolero or a Scorpio
can outrun you, simply because of diesel power and that added torque for the extra punch.
Power and torque on offer is
plentiful for inside the city and out on the flat highways/expressways. There could have been a
bit more zip on offer for
bigger inclines (as I said earlier), and like Moderator Vid6639 pointed out, the
1.8L petrol engine of the Elantra could have been a better option for the heavier Creta, than the Verna's 1.6L. That being said, the casual drivers and urban runners won't have any cause for complaint at all.
Refinement levels are
absolutely top-notch. You will be
hard-pressed to hear the engine while it goes about it's duty. The only time it reminds you of it's existence is during cold starts in the mornings, when the engine first comes to life at 1100-1200 RPM and vibrates the cabin mildly, before settling down at the 850-900 RPM mark and going quiet. Add this to the fact - the Creta gets
no underhood insulation/damping whatsoever, and you can't help but be
impressed by the wonderful
near-silent NVH levels.
The best thing about the Creta is that it
masks it's speeds very well. You won't be able to know what speeds you are plying in, until you look down at the speedometer's digital displays!
Gear shifts are
short, and a delight to use. The only gripe I have is of the
Reverse gear positioning. By habit, I keep slotting Lazarus into
6th every time I want to reverse. Also I keep forgetting to
lift the gear lever up while slotting into R. This will take some getting used to. All other gears fall nicely into position, with a very, very
slight rubbery effect felt during each slot. The clutch is fairly
soft and
bites early, which indicates that Hyundai engineers have made it suited to urban conditions more (half-clutch). The clutch also has a fairly
long travel, which can be disconcerting for shorter drivers. No need to press it all the way to the floor for shifting though - you can have the exact feel of when the clutch bites (at around the halfway mark), and duly shift the gears. No problem.
The suspension is on the
softer side, which helps in the cushiony ride specially in urban conditions. No fatigue is felt in bumper to bumper traffic, as the Creta keeps you
very comfortable all through the day. Hit higher speeds, and the soft suspension makes you
bounce a bit when you hit that moderately-sized pothole/crater. You still have to slow down for the occasional nasty bumper or broken road patch, mind you. The Creta is
NOT a full-blown SUV with dismissive suspensions like the Safari Storme or the Mahindras. It is a
soft roader with SUV capabilities, and needs to be driven so.
The front seats are very cushiony, with gentle body-hugging sides which cocoon you in. The lateral feel of the seats is nicely upright, although it could have done with a bit more of lumbar bolstering. Under-thigh support is good for the front seats, while it could have been a bit more for taller passengers at the rear. Also, the rear seat could have used the recline adjustment feature - sometimes it feels a bit too upright. It's pretty comfortable though. My little one fell asleep for about 100 kms of our journeys and woke up completely refreshed with absolutely no fatigue.
No cause for complaint after you reach home from a long highway drive. My mother remarked yesterday about how comfortable the Creta ride was, and she gave the Creta
one extra point over our Honda City just for the riding comfort alone (she was in the front passenger seat for a 300-km run). Granted, the car serves out no magic-carpet ride like the Duster, but you have to admit - it comes
pretty close.
The Creta
handles very well. This is
one Hyundai which is
separate from the rest in the handling factor alone. The dynamics are well-sorted, and the car
sticks to the road well, with the broad 205-section tyres providing excellent grip levels. The Creta is
completely stable and no bobbing about or fish-tailing at higher speeds is felt when tackling the corners, and that itself shows how much these newer Hyundais have come of age and matured. Body roll is minimal and well-controlled for most of the way. Full marks to Russelheim's inputs in this department!
The EPS steering is still a bit
Hyundai-light in low speeds which is actually a
BIG help when moving around inside the city, and
weighs up sufficiently well at higher speeds to keep the nervousness out. You will feel
perfectly at ease while driving the Creta at higher speeds. Of course, there could have been
more feedback from the steering but still, when you compare it to the likes of the Honda City, the Creta's steering feedback won't leave you complaining. But then again,
this is no Fiesta or Linea. Those cars are in a completely different league in this department. The steering wheel size also should have been
one size bigger, ideally, just because it's for a SUV.
The brakes are
perfectly suited for this heavy car, despite the absence of discs at the rear. I have done more than my fair share of hard braking till now, and I am happy to report that the car
stops cleanly in a straight line without any fuss, even on rain-drenched roads! No jarring or shuddering felt from the brake pedal either.
The car has a
small turning radius too (around 5m), which aids turning about on the roads easily. I think it's almost similar to the City & the Swift.
At the time of writing this, Lazarus's ODO reads
706 kms, with
~600 of those kilometers coming exclusively from his highway running. Rest have been all inside the city in the past 5 days. The fuel display still has 2 bars left, and although there is no Real-time Fuel Efficiency in the Creta, I have calculated a mileage of around
15.02 kmpl on the highway runs, and around
10.47 kmpl inside the city so far.
Exact figures will be known once the first tankful is done with.
THE POSITIVES:
- Fantastic looker from all angles and excellent road presence.
- Supreme build quality, with excellent fit and finish all round.
- Panel gaps? What in God's name is the meaning of that?!
- Paint quality is top-notch too, with the Polar White shade exuding a soft pearly finish feel. Orange-peel effect yet to be checked.
- Very contemporary, stylish and chic.
- Excellent petrol engine option. Lots of power and torque on tap.
- Ride quality exemplary over pothole-ridden and bumper-strewn roads. Can be a boon on the highways.
- Suspension goes about it's job quite well. No bottoming out felt so far.
- Body roll minimal in extensive in-city driving.
- Perfect urban commuter for daily in-city use. Can cruise on 35-40ish speeds all day.
- Brakes are top notch and stop the car without any fuss.
- Clutch is light and bites early, although it has a bit of a travel.
- Interiors finishing and plastics are top-notch. Beige used prominently on the dashboard.
- All black interiors with grey beige-
ish central seat portions look good, although I would have preferred completely black seats.
- Loaded to the gills with state-of-the-art gizmos (projectors, LEDs, cornering lamps, SatNav, 7" touchscreen AVN, Rear AC Vents, etc.)
- Nicely contoured seats with gentle body hugging side protrusions. Adequate back support & adjustable headrests present.
- Seat compound is firm and looks like it will last the distance.
- Firm interior plastics and tactile buttons which feel long-lasting as well.
- Commanding view of the road from the driver's seat. Both ends of the bonnet seen easily, as is the road ahead.
- All controls fall easily to hand. Steering-mounted controls make operating things very easy-peasy.
- MID has a detailed supervision cluster display. Details in the pictorial to follow.
- Gears slot in quite nicely with soft throws, although there is a very minimal but distinct rubbery effect felt.
- Hard plastics and no glossy/shiny stuff on the dashboard is actually a relief - no annoying reflection on the front windshield for the driver to deal with on sunny days!
- Plenty of storage spaces littered around the cabin.
- Very roomy and spacious cabin, with lots of headroom and shoulder room all around in front.
- Rear seat is very comfortable with adequate headroom and shoulder width as well.
- Central rear hump is minimal and intrudes very less.
- Rear AC vents are very effective. Overall, the ACC unit is quite strong and chills the cabin in no time.
- Keyless entry is a big convenience, specially when you are in a hurry.
- Humongous boot space. Luggage net provided as well.
- ORVMs are quite decent in their size for the view behind the car.
- L-O-U-D horn! Makes others annoyed and weave out of your way in a REAL hurry.
- Overall NVH levels are outstanding. Probably best-in-class!
- Standard warranty of 3-years/unlimited kilometers, for the absolute peace of mind.
- The Satellite-based Navigation system pinpoints the EXACT location of the car, among a lot of other things.
- Sound quality from the 6-speaker system is excellent. A normal listener would not feel the need to upgrade anytime soon.
- Dual Airbags, ABS+EBD, a RPAS system comprising of 4 reversing sensors + a reverse camera with steering-adaptive guidelines display system, and an impact-sensing auto-door unlocking system makes the Creta SX+ quite safe too.
- Rear defogger and a rear wash+wipe system keeps the rear view clean during the rainy seasons, or when ploughing through dirt/mud.
- 205/65/R16 Goodyear Assurance tyres are more than adequate to tackle the terrains of the urban jungle, while taking on the rural areas head on. But mind you, this is no hardcore off-roader. You can call the Creta a soft-roader at best.
THE NEGATIVES:
- Steering is light, and needs a bit more weight. Also, feedback from the steering is still a bit artificial.
- Car starts with a throbbing (felt in the entire cabin) in the mornings at around 1100 RPM, then settles down to under 900 RPM with the engine going silent.
- Car bobs about a bit at high speeds on bouncy, very rough roads. Not as flatly comfortable as say, a Safari Storme.
- Not adequately priced. For the price demanded, a few more features should have been added to the SX+ ideally (side airbags, 17" diamond-cut alloys, etc.).
- No HID projectors on offer.
- No rear disc brakes in such a heavy car. Although the drums are pretty decent.
- First 2 gears needed to be tuned better. As they are, there is a bit of lag initially.
- Seats could have had better bolstering.
- Central armrest is devoid of any cover. Hard plastic hampers normal usage for rest.
- Hard plastics used prominently around the cabin doesn't give that premium feel.
- Steering adjustment lacks reach.
- Head Unit has a problem reading selected USB drives, or very large USB drives.
- The IRVM could have been larger. It has a limited field of vision and does the job.
- Rear bench can accomodate 2 persons very comfortably. A healthy 3rd person is unwelcome.
- Rear window line is higher than normal. Shorter passengers in the rear seat might feel claustrophobic, although my wife maintains that she actually feels better with outside people not able to peek into the rear seat!
- No separate headrest for the 3rd rear passenger.
- Grab handles are of the fixed type.
- Driver sun visor lacks a vanity mirror.
- Passenger sun guard lacks a cover for the vanity mirror.
- No Cruise Control on offer.
- No AWD option yet.
- No sunroof provided.
- Rear chrome garnish on top of numberplate looks very loud and out of place.
- Reverse gear is oddly placed and will take some time getting used to. I still slot the car into the 6th by habit!
- The Clean Silver wheel rim design could have been better.
As for the moment when I reached home and surprised my entire family with the Creta and took them all out on a short drive, there is one conversation of particular note.
Yes, you guessed it right!
Between father and son.
Dad (
with a weird smile): So, in the end, you chose a Hyundai over a Ford, a Renault, a Nissan and even a Mahindra, eh?
Me (
unfazed and with pride): Yes.
Dad (
leaning forward): You know it's a Korean?
Me (
looking back at him straight in the eye): Yes.
Dad (
straight-faced): All dolls and no hearts?
Me (
with pride): This one has a heart. And it beats in sync with mine.
Dad (
leaning back): Sure it does.
Me (
looking away): I knew you wouldn't approve of my choice. As you always have.
Dad (
holding my hand and gently squeezing it): Wrong. I am glad that for once, my son didn't compromise and went with his heart.
I turned back to him in some surprise!
Dad (
with a twinkle in his eye): We all live once. Don't we, son?
That explained it all. Perfectly.
Follow your heart and let your passions flow! Maybe that is how it will start beating again, and bring back the colours into your life.
Thank you, Dad.
