I am a fan of cars. I enjoy blasting through my engine sounds. But was I always fond of cars? Well if you think of something that fascinates you, you will see that it evolves. And sometimes the possibilities are that we like something at first, but then our interests shift. For me, I guess it was never only an interest but a dream that I wanted to turn into reality. Of Course, everyone has a dream that they strive for, live for, and work hard for.
Talking about my love for automobiles. And how I got hooked on it. It happened a long time ago when Alok Kashyap, aged around 17 years during IIT preparation days, roamed on the streets of Hauz Khas with friends in Delhi, India. I saw a BMW passing by with an astonishing sound which swiftly caught my attention. And it wasn’t the first time I was noticing a car, there were many times I used to notice different cars and their models but this time it was something different, maybe because on that day I thought of owning a BMW one day.
Life moved with pace, I completed my education and started my professional journey. Witnessing my friends get their first car kept my dream alive. I always knew that it was going to happen one day as I did not want to buy just any car but it had to be Alok Kashyap’s dream car. Finally, it happened in 2009, when I first bought my luxurious car, you can easily guess the name of it, yes it was a BMW. I remember taking my mom and dad to the showroom and when I handed over the keys to them I could feel the happiness in their heart when I saw the light in their eyes. It was just the beginning of getting things off your bucket list.
After getting my first car. I had several other cars on the list that I wanted to own and enjoy my swift full drives. My most recent purchase is a Ferrari. Before this, I bought a Maserati with my name “Alok” on the registration plate. I also own an Audi A6 which I use to commute when I am at my home in India.
There is this popular quote that says “ I don’t want to know what you do for a living I want to know what your heart aches for, I want to know what your dreams are made of ”. This quote has lived with me for a long time now. Cause I also have always believed that if we do not have a goal, an ambition for the future then what is the point of all this?
You should have a source of motivation. Which pushes you to do great work every day. The answer to what is your goal or what are you working for has different answers at different points in life. For me, at this point in my life 650S and enjoy its roar as I drive it”. This thought itself inspires me to work hard every day and I know the feeling would be amazing when I drive it.
