You know it, you rake your mind but you just      cannot place it. It was one of those scenarios.

And the smile on my face widening, I thought it was quite      similar to my dear old Bajaj Sunny! A two-wheeler &#8211; a rare sight      in the US, and the sound that was music to my ears was the sound      of the gearless scooter accelerating. It is a unique sound and      something I have associated so much with my growing years and it      was such a pleasure to hear it.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;\">For years, my black Sunny was my very own      Ferrari. I zipped across to school, to library, to the market in      it. It was like the 1980s Onida ad, \u201cowner\u2019s pride, neighbor\u2019s      envy\u201d. It gave me mobility and the freedom which every teenager      dreams of. I remember zipping along as the first drops of rain      drizzled, as the wind blew my hair around! And it was just the      sound that brought back the memories!<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;font-family:times new roman;\">And that put a big smile and a spring to my      step: reviving memories, I continued walking towards the parking      lot much refreshed!
