A Fantastico Getaway in the ZICA!


Hola Guys!

First of all thanks for enjoying virtually on twitter as much as I enjoyed my drive with fellow bloggers in the Fantastico ZICA!


This time , it was unlike any other! The excitement was at a different level since Messi was announced as the brand ambassador! The car had to have an edge. And yes, you need not be a driver really to understand if the car can live up to your expectations! Let me tell you how!

My favorite trips in my car are to the mall ( Need I say that :P) While I sit next to Nik, I always like to have as many slots for all my things as much as he would like. At times , we fight over whose bottle gets to stay in which slot ( apparently our little car has 2 different slot sizes so only one of our bottle fits!) . And as always, Nik collects the parking ticket which mysteriously vanishes from his wallet each time!  And ofcourse, when parents are home, they have to keep the water bottles in a bag behind or we have to keep passing those from the front!When it comes to music, the driver should like the music or he might be demotivated on long drives :P
Forget it when the music taste is completely opposite if the backseat is full! And, dont even get me started when I tirelessly hold my phone with Google Maps on it , whenever we are out on a secret trail!

Little things, but who thought , all this can change for the better! Let me begin:

1. The Zica has space for 5Litres of liquid or 7 bottle slots including at the backseat!
2. It has a parking ticket slot near the steering! Beat that!
3. It has a IPAD/tablet slot
4. It has an app for music sharing so that all passengers can queue songs each from their phone , so its a family jukebox !!!
5. There is a navigation system , which guides you ( Voice) while you drive and its amazingly accurate! If you are listening to music and you need to take a diversion, the navigation voice takes over. If you are getting a call, the call takes over! Priorities, check!

These are the top 5 things , I like about the ZICA , that sets it apart from a user experience perspective. The internet is full with all things technical , and you can succumb to all the world class goodness this car is made of. This car is modern , stylish and unlike any other car from TATA.

Thanks to our twitter fans, it was fun doing some LIVE tasks during the 2.5 hours drive around GOA. I recorded some real fun videos of friendly. Here's a little photo/video story ! The car will be officially launched in 2016, Till then , feast your eyes on the ZICA here 😬 while I relive once again the wonderful weekend we had at the luxurious ALila Diwa Goa! More funny videos coming in 2 days, so come back here!  As always , indiblogger nails yet another blogger soiree!
Till , next time, CIAO!

1. Touch down Alila Diwa Goa
2. The breathtaking infinity pool made us wanting to take a quick dip
3. The gorgeous room and the bath was luxurious

4. Lunch followed by a quick trip to the beach and some games 
5. Team Tata surprises us with a private locker room each. And a cute kit complete with a number 10 Messi Tee & a bottle


6. A mysterious door opened like sesame revealing the fantastico vehicle! The color is so attractive , isn't it?
7. Mandatory posing with the car! I totally nailed the reporter wala look complete with my scarf ! And glad I met my blog reader Shilpa who clicked this one for me !
8. The car reveal led to a karaoke night with yummy delicacies and old songs that made us so nostalgic ! The karaoke singer at Alila is amaxongly talented! 

9. It was a long day and I prepared myself for the long trip in the zica the other day with a warm bubble bath ! Ee how I loved it!


10. Inside the zica with the fantastico team D8!
And here come all an the crazy tasks!

MY ZESTEXPERIENCE!

I have never in my life found myself in a situation where I've stopped work and said, 'Thank God it's Friday.' But weekends are special even if your schedule is all over the place. Something tells you the weekend has arrived and you can indulge yourself a bit.
-Helen Mirren


This precisely defines a blogger's life who has a full-time job besides a blog to keep! Pretty much defines me. I am working 24x7 and it makes me happy. And when work comes in the form of a weekend getaway to Goa, it only gets better! When the people at Blogadda popped the question, all I could say was YES! I promised you all the updates as we started our packing! I am sure you enjoyed the week before the trip on TWITTER & INSTAGRAM for all the crazy packing/styling updates. In case you missed it, I am sharing it all here! The people at SPLASH , ACCESSORIZE and KOOVS.COM gladly agreed to partner in the crime! And I am glad you liked what I wore. Thanks for your lovely feedback!

So , all you curious people, here's what I did at the ZEST showcase:
Date: 27 July
Venue: Zuri White sands resort,Varca Beach, Goa 
Hosts: Blogadda & TATA Zest

So who were all the people with me?: About 50 TOP bloggers across India with their blogs in various categories like Technology/Fashion/Beauty/Lifestyle/Food/Photography/Parenting/Life/Personal and the list goes on!

What was in it for me? I had the most amazing time meeting so many passionate bloggers across India with different perspectives. I also got a chance to lay my hands on a Gear-less automobile that boasts of being the best in its segment and I can only be more sure about that, thanks to my driving partner. Read my mini car review here.
Why should you be Reading my car review? Because I am like any other consumer who understands what she wants. My needs go beyond technology.(Oh btw,Don't forget I am a computer Science Engineer) I look for luxury,comfort, safety, personality in a car.You can go to various technology websites to read the actual technical specifications of the TATA zest. But if you want to hear from a consumer's point of view, the description changes. If I say - "This peplum trend in galaxy prints with tailored palazzos in solids gives you a slimming silhouette " . You might just run away from my blog. :D
That my dear friends is the technical specs of a fashion trend . Instead if I was to say that -"Do you want to head out to a girl's day out in a comfortable yet chic way? Pick your tops in Peplum trend which have a frill at the waist in bright prints and combine it with wide-legged pants which are amazingly comfortable and chic aka palazzos. This look makes your waist look thinner and almost hides that bottom cellulite ."

The second statement is something you can relate to and might be tempted to try. So, do read my review if you also feel that Gear-less driving is your thing!

In this post I take you through the most amazing weekend I spent with fellow bloggers and mind you, I had no time to myself because I was LIVE blogging/tweeting/instgraming besides 15 minutes breaks for re-fuelling and 10 minutes at ZURI's most amazing private beach. Enjoy the amazing moments from my ZEST EXPERIENCE:

DAY 1: With the people who made the ZEST happen. And Narain Karthikeyan, our F1 hero!A short escape to the white sands beach at ZURI

DAY 2: Prepping up for the ZEST drive. 25kms x 2 trips in petrol and diesel version. LIVE BLOGGING and heading back home!
