By Jove! Or should I say “B(u)y Zeus!”?!

We’ve seen it all… First it was “definitely male”, followed by unbridled “Passion” and open “Ambition”. I expected liberation from the name games Indian 2-wheeler manufacturers play, but had to be content with “Libero”. Finally, we were expected to take a “Shine” to a recent offering!

Last month my husband literally took the “Heat” – bought the latest 125 cc bike from the Suzuki stable – I lost no time in teasing him mercilessly about being in the hot seat – enough to get him hot under the collar – I backed off when I thought I saw steam emanating from his ears!

But “Wind”, I think, takes the cake. The producer of the mobike obviously hasn’t thought of the other connotations of the word. And if it weren’t enough, tacking the number 125 onto it! A 125 mph gale force wind? Breaking – er – news?!
