गीत- अब ना रहा मैं मेरा....
परिंदों के जैसा
मैं उड़ रहा हूँ
मुझको पता ना
मैं अब कहाँ हूँ
जब से बना मैं तेरा...
तुम मानो ना मानो
अब ना रहा मैं मेरा...
मेरे रास्तो से
मंजिल भी पूछे
क्यों चल रहा है
क्या तुझको सूझे
जो तुझको पाया
तो पा लिया ये जहां...
तुम मानो ना मानो
अब ना रहा मैं मेरा...
खुला आसमां है
हवा बह रही है
दरख्तों की अपनी
गुफ्तगू हो रही है
तुम हो तो मैं हूँ,
तुम से है जीना मेरा
तुम मानो ना मानो
अब ना रहा मैं मेरा...

XUV300 buying guide based on my experience! (Part 2)
Hello Guys!
I am again here to share my experience with XUV300. This part-2 will provide you all improtant information about aftermarket upgradation of your car.
I am writing this blog in the context of XUV300 W4 car but the information share here is applicable to all car whenever you are planning your car upgradation.
As you know that XUV300 W4 is base variant, so upgradation is quite necessary for this car.
Warning!
when doing the upgradation from the aftermarket, please ensure that the part is genuine and the shop technician has knowlege about fitment. Otherwise, you will but regret!
1st Upgradation-
The very first changes I did to my car at dealer only.
1. Fog lamp
2. Front grill changed to chrome (W4 variant comes with black front grill while W8 comes with chrome front grill)
3. Wheel cover/ cap
4. Door scuff plate or wellcome plate (made of steel with XUV branding {NO LIGHT})
See the below image for first 3 changes
I paid approx 9K to the dealer for this change.
2nd upgradation-
Infotainment system and reverse camera-
I chose the below components
-Nippon 9 inch touch screen Android (Price 13K including frame)
-JBL component speaker (front door) (Price 4.5K) & JBL Co-axial speakers (back doors) (price 2K)
-Camera Blaupunkt (Model BC DH05) (Price 2700). This camera comes with dynamic guidelines.
-Stearing controls -(price 4K) only left side control works while I added right side control for aesthetics purpose. Quite costly!
Warning !!
Dont chose the parts because shopkeaper is suggesting and you believed becasue he is doing this Job regularly. Now a days, lot of shopkeepers have you tube channel where they share XUV modification video. These videos don't talk the fault or quality issues. Let me explain one by one-
Points to consider while installing Android touchscreen-
1. Touchscreen hanging problem-
How to ensure that the headunit you are selecting will work in high temp ambient? Let me explain my experience. When I park my car under sky in office. (I work in Rajasthan). The outside temp is about 38-40 Deg and and the car is quite hot by the evening due to green house effect. When I leave office at 6PM, the headunit will not work as the electronic components are not designed for high temp ambient. These are cheap chinese products. The system will keep on hanging till your cabin is comfortably cool by car AC.
2. Navigation problem-
The most use of touch screen is for navigation after Music. Pls ensure how they are installing the sytem in car. With every GPS supported Android system comes a GPS antena. Many shopkeeper connect this antena and keep it with the unit inside the dashboard. while GPS antena should be placed thoughtfully that it should catch the signals propely. Otherwise your unit will keep searching GPS signal again & again. There has to be proper wiring (GPS antena comes with 5-6 feet long wire for installation purpose) so that proper sunnlight fall on the GPS antena. If possible get it stick over the dashboard. (In my car I installed it left conrner of the dashboard.)
3. Microphone issues-
The microphone provide in all Android systems is useless becasue mic senstivity is too low that the person on otherside can not hear you properly. The solution to this problem is add external mic. Every Android has AUX port where this mic can be installed. SO, whenever installing the headunit, dont forget about external mic if the inbuilt mic is of no use.
4. Camera Issues-
Blaupunkt camera quality is good but it is not designed for XUV300. You can istall this camera in XUV300 but at different place. If the shopkeeper is installing the camera at the same palce where W8 camera is placed, it is of no use. You will regret and curse your experience! Be careful. Don't let the shopkeepers play with your car for their profit! Check the below points before installation
a) if i stand just near to my rear bumper left and right corner, my shoes should show up in screen.
b) The dynamic lines should be parallel to the road. they should not be going upside towards sky.
c) the duide line also should be 100% parallel to the white strips painted on road if your car is standing straight on a straight road.
If one can satisfy above all three points, go for camera installation.
5. Speakers Issue-
JBL speakers are good for sound. If you are music lover, you can chose componet speakers for all doors. In speakers, other brands also can be considered. But the point to be considered here is the installation in XUV300.
XUV300 doors are segined to fit the company fitted speakers only. If you are installing aftermarket speakers, some plastic to be chopped off from the door where speaker is to be installed. This plastic design is also for same purpose. Maybe some shopkeapers install the speakers with cutting the extra plastic collar on the door part, then it will result in issues with sound quality. And after some time, speakers may torn off.
6. Radio Antena- It will never give you as good result as company fitted system. No option. Need to compromise. Radio will work only when the radio signals are very good.
3rd Upgradation-
1. Front bumper extender (guard) (Price 5K)
2. Spoiler (i took aftermmarket at 2.5K but not as good as OEM part)- I chose black & white dual tone spoiler for RED XUV. See image.
3. Roofrails (Only take from dealer. Never take this part from shops)
4. 7D mats (Price 2K)- these are quite good.

XUV300 buying guide based on my experience! (Part 1)
Hello Guys!
I recently purchased M&M XUV300 after going through the many brands in this segment.
Initially, I had not included XUV300 in my wishlist but finally I ended up buying the same car. Strange, No?
Before this, I had Swift Dzire ZXI which was really good in terms of mileage and handling.
This time my budget was 10-11 lacs. So, listed down the below cars
1. Tata Nexon
2. Kia sonnet
3. Nissan Megnite
4. Maruti Brezza X (I dint consider Maruti brand because previously I owned Maruti and my Swift Dzire ended up in Accident. So, build quality and safety was my priority)
By this time I did not have considered XUV300 because... I dont know.
Kia & Nissan I dropped because of built quality.
Then I made up mind for Tata Nexon and I found my self in Tata showroom for booking the car. One bias for Nexon was that it is from Indian Manufacturer. My love for India! It feels good when Indian brands offering best products, making India proud!
I took the test drive and I could not found what I wanted. I had had made up my mind for XM+S model due to sunroof but I returned back without car booking.
Let me further think and analyze my requirements.
Why Initially I chose Tata Nexon-
1. 5 Star NCAP rating
2. Indian Maker. Jai Hind!
Why I couldnt be satisfied by Tata Nexon-
1. Driving feel--> it doesnt feel like SUV
2. Interior makes the car look so compact--> Am I going to spend 10 lacs for compacr feel? No way!
3. Rear seat --> 3 Adults can not sit comfortably. --> is it really SUV? only four pepole car!
Then the only option was XUV300.
1. 5 Star NCAP rating
2. Indian Maker. Jai Hind!
Let's take XUV300 test drive-
The first impression was awesome. Big and space!
It is really feels like SUV I was looking for under my budget.
I booked XUV300 W4 Petrol. in Jun'21, W4.
Now Let me share my buying experience which will be helpful to all who are looking for buying XUV300 or any other car!
I booked my car by paying INR 10000 in Haryana and I got the delivery in July'21 W4.
In this Part-1, I will share my experience with the M&M dealer and why I chose Petrol car.
In Part-2, I will share my experience of Aftermaket upgradation
and In part-3, I will share the car registration experience if you are buying a car from X state and Registering Y state.
When I got the delivery in end of July'21, I recieved the below invoice detail
I purchased car from Haryana and registered in UP RTO.
Anyway, The dealer didnt reduce the Ex-showroom price despite showing him the proof on the M&M website. I frankly said to him that he is cheating a customer and ultimately you will refund this amount. He just smiled- "No sir, Mahindra has revised Ex showroom price in this month only. Their website is not up to date."
"Oh! really?" I said to myself. "If it is really so. M&M has dark future. hahaha... you are idiot or Naive, my extra smart dealer!"
I made the payment of INR791222 and took the delivery of XUV300.
After one month of my Purchase, dealer returned INR5000 (against extra Ex showroom price).
Why I chose Petrol Variant over diesel ?
See the below cost analysis.
CONCLUSION- If my yearly running is less than 21000Km, petrol car is benefitial over diesel car.
If you have any query, please let me know in comment.
Thank you!

हिंदी का एक शब्द है, परजीवी। इसका अर्थ है दूसरे का खून पीकर स्वयं को जिंदा रखना। परजीवी होना प्रकृति हिस्सा है, जैसे जूँ। लेकिन इंसान परजीवी बन जाये, यह मानव से दानव बनने की यात्रा है। लेकिन इससे भी आगे की यात्रा है प्रच्छन्न परजीवी, जो दानव-सा होते हुए भी आपको देवता लगेगा। लेकिन चुनैतियों के समय सच्चाई छिपाये नही छिपती। आज वो ही समय जो हर एक व्यक्ति के नैतिक मूल्यों का सही आकलन देगा।

Ripped जीन्स !
Sir अब CM बन गए हैं। मीटिंग बुलाई है, विकास कैसे करना है? लोगों तक कैसे पहुँचना है? Sir थोड़ी दुविधा में हैं। हाई कमान ने ऊंची कुर्सी पर तो बिठा दिया है, लेकिन सोच में हैं कि चहुदिश विकास कैसे करें। sir बहुत ही सज्जन व्यक्ति हैं। एक दम भोले के भक्त से, टीका तिलक वाले। state भी एक तल में नही है कि साहब यहां बैठे बैठे हम जैसों को लतियाये और विकास लुढकते लुढकते सुदूर कोने में बेरोजगार पड़े या गरीबी की लाइन में खड़े आखिरी पशु (पशु से यहां अर्थ गाय नही है) तक खुद ब खुद पहुँच जाए।
