About me

[Tharun Kumar V]

Hello all, 

I couldn't introduce myself last month when I joined, due to various factors. 

My name is Tharun Kumar V! I am originally from Bengaluru, India, but lived in several different countries and I am now based in Dubai, working with UD Trucks as Resident Eng. for MEENA. As a Resident Eng., my job is to help UD Truck's dealers and customer a reliable truck and of course to help them out whenever they’re in need of technical solution. 

Last June I moved to Dubai with my wife Ankitha and my daughter Shrestha. Ankitha was an interior designer and currently she is handling our naughty Shrestha who is just 16months old.

Things keeps me calm are cars, bikes and trucks. Back in India I’m a member of Fiat 1100 Bangalore club. I do own a small fleet of cars and bikes starting from Fiat Select – 1959, Premier Padmini 1100 – 1992, Mercedes Benz W124 – 1992, Mahindra Scorpio – 2006, Toyota Qualis – 2001, Yezdi Road King – 1991, Bajaj Chetak – 1987 and Royal Enfield – 2010. I am a DIY person and would like to keep myself busy with my passions.

 

Once I moved into Dubai, got my license in 21 days and picked a Mitsubishi Pajero sport from one of the marshals from another club, who is a friend of mine from India.

How did I get to know Carnity???? This is an interesting topic for me.

After a week of purchase of Mitsubishi Pajero sport, I had to go to meet the previous owner of the car in Sharjah to collect few parts. Surprisingly my car gear inhibitor failed, and I had to drive the car to a garage in Sharjah (this car was maintained in the same workshop by the previous owner). As I was waiting for the new inhibitor in the waiting lounge, I see a person and started to have a conversation about his Pajero and off roading. Apparently his Pajero had a starter motor failure, and he was waiting for a long time to secure the part. After a long discussion about off road and Carnity, I was so eager and I asked him, “if it is ok can I join Sunday morning drive?” and he happily asked me to join. So, my first drive as a passenger in Carnity was done on 7^th August 2022. The person who introduced me to Carnity is @Gaurav Soni

I was just waiting for my family to get adjusted to Dubai and then signed in to Carnity. Thanks a lot for the opportunity and with my one-month experience, I have started to discover many good things in Carnity.

 Carnity is not only a community, but it also feels like a family.

 Carnity not only teaches off-roading and its skill, but it also even improves our personal developments.

 Hope I have not bored everyone with my stories and introduction. I would like to meet every one in person during the drive.

See you soon guys in the desert

Thank you

Regards

Excellent introduction Tharun. It seems we have almost the same hobby. Back in my country I have Fiat 1800B 1964 and several motorbikes, including Enfield 500.
