When Our Car Broke Down While Going To Ahmedabad From Diu

The Ineligible Millionaire: “Learning about a boy who was so under-confident, who didn’t know how to speak English properly but honed his skills and became a millionaire is surely an inspirational read. I think a large part of the audience will be able to relate to it, be it students, young professionals or mid-senior level professionals. There is a bit for everyone. And, what I really loved about this book is it doesn’t preach you anything as such in the direct narrative instead there are so many underlying messages which are enough to motivate you.” – BooksAmaze
Tohfaa Shaaadi Ka: “Such a poetic summary of their beautiful step towards their new life. How amazing it is when your loved one writes every beautiful moment in poetry and dedicates it to you. It was more like cherishing every moment of their beautiful life.” – Preethika P, Goodreads
The Ineligible Millionaire: “Arjun’s character is somebody that you grow fond of as a reader because Arjun is literally the humblest guy in the world, somebody who works really hard, somebody who is trying his best to deal with all the distress in his life. Still, life keeps throwing curve balls at him while he tries to dodge them. He keeps getting hit by them, but he doesn’t stop, and that makes his character extremely inspiring. This is the kind of book that gives out the message that good things are just around the corner and you just have to keep going.” – Saumya’s Bookstation

Dec 2023: I was with my family on 10 days Gujarat trip. That day we were going from Diu to Ahemdabad by taxi. On the way, our driver realised that fan stopped working. He stopped the car and saw the problem. On the way we stopped at a garage to get it checked. They said problem is with fan and fan require to be changed. They didn't have fan so they tried to fix the fan in such a way we can reach safely to Ahmedabad.

The workshop mechanics were working. In the mean time, our driver checked if we have Maruti Suzuki service center near by so we can get fan changed there. He found nearby service center in Bhav Nagar. Then, he told all of us that we might reach bit late to Ahmedabad as we have to go via Bhav Nagar, get this fan fixed.

The workshop mechanics were still trying but couldn't fix the fan. So they put some patch work to make car reach our destination. We started for Bhav Nagar. By the time we reached Maruti Service Center, all workers were left for the day. We again got stuck. This time, our driver parked car next to a restaurant so we can have some snacks and do relax till fan issue get resolved.

It was 7pm. Our driver made some phone calls and around 30 minutes later 2 mechanics came on the bike, checked car, removed fan from car, took fan with them to their workshop and told us that they will be back in 30 minutes. We had dinner done there at restaurant and time was 8:30pm. We waited, waited, and, waited but they didn't come. We were restless and trying to make phone calls to taxi agency and all. Around 9pm they came with fan, I think it was new fan but when they tried to install it, it couldn't. They said they need some part so they went to workshop again and asked us to wait for 15 mins. 

This time, they came back around 9:30pm, they fixed the fan, and we started to Ahmedabad from Bhav Nagar around 10pm that night.
