So hello everyone. Welcome to Amritsar.
I'm very very excited today.
If you remember, exactly one week ago I had sold my first car.
In one of the last vlogs.
And today, finally finally, I'm going to buy a new car.
Right now as of this moment, there is no car in my name.
There was one but I sold it in the US.
And here in India, all the cars are of my grandmother.
I used to be in Swift (Maruti Suzuki Car)
I didn't drive it a lot.
But today I'm going to make
my grandmother upgrade. Help her upgrade. So basically
sponsored by me as a software engineer.
No more junior. So today finally I got the
opportunity and we will be upgrading to one
of her dream car. Starting with lunch
before going. So are you excited? Have you
had fish curry before? No. Like to be
honest I think a lot of americans don't
even know fish curry exists. Like I think
I just kind of assume a lot of people
assume Indians don't eat a lot of fish. I
don't know I feel like it's not on a lot
of menus. Fish curry is actually not that
popular in the US. Katie used to think fish
curry doesn't exist in India. She thinks that
nobody in India eats fish.
But reality is you might not know
Amritsari fish is one of the most popular
fish. It's famous throughout the world.
Yeah. For sure.
Wait, so is that jazz and sireej?
Yeah.
Are you going to show that?
I think they'll be embarrassed if I show that.
Yeah, yeah. You're a good cousin.
Let's go grandma. Let's go quickly.
Let's go. I'm feeling really hungry.
Are you excited, grandma?
Finally. Big day for us.
Are you excited?
Yes, I'm very excited.
Which Gurudwara will we go to?
We'll go to the Golden Temple.
This curry is much better than his curry.
Oh my god. It's obvious actually
like within 30 minutes I try to make so
you know this curry was made with so
much hard work and passion
and
you know love. Masala.
No, no. So basically
so she got gift from one of our
relatives. So this is... Can you calculate
how much it is? Okay well it's 2100
rupees. So how can you guess how much
dollars it will be?
I don't know. I don't know the exchange
rate.
I have no idea. Oh, it's 70 rupees. So can
you calculate? Oh gosh.
Now you're gonna reveal grandma about how
bad I'm at math.
Okay wait. It's 2100 so it's
less than
it would be less than 21
right. So it would be. So this is our
current car. Maruti Suzuki Swift. This is
one of the most popular car in india
right now. So basically every month data comes that
reveals which cars were sold the most.
I saw that in 2020, or till 2021
Maruti Suzuki was still
number one car seller all over India. But
things have started to change
because TATA's stock has gone up and they have bought
Range Rover and Jaguar.
TATA have maintained the baseline structure and released
newer models on top of that.
TATA's sales and stock have gone up exponentially.
And for that reason, we also decided that TATA
is a really really good company.
And for that reason, I thought let's buy a made-in-India car.
I had tried Arpit's car. He has bought a manual car.
I tried. I tried it in the US.
I was driving in the parking block.
In 5 minutes, it stopped 5 times.
In the manual, the clutch is very sensitive.
I don't have experience with that.
You didn't drive in India, right?
In India I drove for one month only.
Cause I went to the US at the age of 18.
But I'm really really excited.
Then you won't be able to drive here.
I don't know why it happens, but the car I'm going to buy
I'm seeing the same car a lot on the roads being driven.
Or you start to notice it more.
So this is TATA Motors Amritsar.
Yeah, I'm stepping out in Amritsar.
Yeah. Awesome.
And those who don't know that in US,
Katie never bought a new car in her life.
Because in the US, the culture of used cars exists and it's so big that
you get a return policy up to 1500 miles.
For example, in CarMax, you get a return policy for up to one month.
Here, if you have a car in your name and later you will return it,
it will be second-hand. You'll feel like you're selling it.
So that's why that is kind of lacking in
India as compared to the US.
I'm not comparing everything.
I just realized today after buying it.
So grandma, tell me, how are you feeling today after buying the new car?
The new car is alright but your presence makes me happy.
Wow. How're you feeling that a Senior Software Engineer is buying it?
How would you have felt if a junior one would have bought it?
I'm very happy.
How does it feel buying a new car for
the first time in life? It is really cool.
It's something that I think only like really
really wealthy americans can do
regularly.
Yeah. Awesome.
How do you feel?
In general?
In India. Oh, it's good.
Everyone keeps asking me and I feel like I have barely seen anything.
So this is Tata Harrier and it has a panaromic sunroof.
Our one doesn't have it.
We have Tata Nexon. Finally ready for delivery.
Does even its seat have AC?
How much air will come out then?
Congratulations grandma.
Thank you.
And congratulations to you too.
Thank you.
Thank you. Now let's go.
So right now the car's paperwork is getting ready.
So the on-road price in Amritsar for the Tata Nexon XZ is 10.44L INR.
But if you would have taken the sunroof so it would have gone from
XZ to XZ+. Then comes S. So that would have been pretty high.
It was above 12 lakhs and that's why we couldn't get the sunroof one.
And India is very hot. So it's difficult to fully enjoy the sunroof.
So for that reason, we didn't prefer the sunroof.
But we got many features with the car.
10 lakhs 55 thousand?
You assume it to be around 10 lakhs and 50 thousand.
So the eleven thousand was for reservation.
I had booked it in the US, so I had forgotten.
Have a seat. Have a seat, don't worry.
Trust me I'm a good driver. Not a
heavy driver.
Okay.
It's my turn to drive.
The car is already active.
Are you feeling scared because of my driving? No, no.
You won't feel scared. Then it's okay.
So driving for the last 5 minutes and I noticed two things about the car.
The steering is quite light.
I'm taking the turn right now and I'm able to turn the steering by one finger.
So this is called electrically power steering.
I think my Toyota Corolla didn't have the electrical power steering.
And I'm not facing any issue while driving the manual right now.
When I drove Arpit's car, I had some issues but I don't feel that now.
My hand is steady now.
And secondly, neither Katie's nor my car has electrical power steering.
This is my first time ever driving an
SUV and using electrically powered
steering and because I'm new to
manual driving the car tells me when to change the gear.
It tells me if there is a need to change and when to go up or down.
It tells me everything. That's one of my
favorite features.
It was so comfortable driving. Steering
is so so light. I really enjoyed it.
It was much better than Corolla.
This is really cool.
Whilst driving you can see the rear camera and even what's in the front.
The cooling system is nice.
Unboxing is so much fun.
Katie has never unboxed in her life.
This is really cool. Yeah.
So we have come to the Gurudwara for our new car.
So it felt amazing to take our car to the Gurudwara.
We did our prayers and said our thanks.
Now finally we will do whatever Katie wants to see in Amritsar.
What do you want to do in Amritsar?
I mean I don't know.
She can
see the...
See the suits. Okay, suits.
If she wants to change. Change. Last iPhone delivery for today.
I just have to do that then responsibility is done. Liabilities
completed.
But thanks to her, we cleared the Customs.
I was quite afraid. I'm not saying that I wanted to avoid the Customs.
Neither that I didn't want to pay the Indian Government.
But luckily when Katie was going and they didn't say anything about getting the bags checked.
And she didn't know that she had to scan the products.
So they didn't check and we didn't have to pay.
I was not trying to illegally smuggle
iPhones just letting you all know. Oh, so
that's why you're dating a white
American girl. I see. That's right. This is
your plan all along. In that case
that's why you're dating a gold... That's
why you're a gold digger that way.
Yeah, I waited till now for you to get a Senior Software Engineer.
Yeah. I was waiting this whole time.
Okay. Grandma, how was the ride?
Very good.
So the main reason we bought it was because this car is very comfortable.
And it's high. So that makes it easier for grandma.
And its suspension is very good. So you can't feel potholes and bad roads as such.
Even better than Corolla.
You know there are a lot of potholes in Amritsar.
You feel that you're traveling on a bus.
But that doesn't happen in this car.
