the same time. Living in close proximity and yet leading extremely different lives created a space where the lines between the real and imaginary were routinely blurred. Hence animals, fierce and dangerous on the one hand also possessed very human qualities of wisdom and memory, and experienced the same emotions of regret and helplessness.

The tales are, therefore, as much about the animal kingdom as they are about human beha- viour. They were layered in contextual references and meaning and the telling was, almost always, a ritualised performance or associated with special occasions.

Unfortunately, many modern- day retellings lose the nuance and complexity. As children's literature or fantasy, the stories turn into stat-

war. Rama and his army of monkeys also encountered it. But for most, the Timingila fish was an invisible enemy that made its presence felt through stormy seas and crashing waves. This is why, Nayak writes, it came to represent the unfathomable for poets and writers who used it to describe indescribable agonies and torture.

The idea of a mythical beast that makes its presence felt through its absence is not unique to Indian myths. There are similar stories about river and sea monsters in nearly every culture. The point is that the world of animal stories is fascinating not just because they are psychedelic, conscious-expanding experiences, but also because they stretch an invisible web of connections across diverse cultures. Could this book have looked into the comparative frame that such stories live within? Yes, definitely. Does it do that? No. And that is a missed opportunity.

Given the otherwise remarkable manner in which the author has treated these old stories, it would have been interesting to place them within a comparative framework. It would have been an invaluable contribution to the field of mythological and folklore studies and also helped readers look at the world through a different lens; one that

PAVAN LALL

Mumbai, 3 June

India is no easy market for any foreign auto major. Its consumers are pickywithavarietyofchoicesavail- able, the incumbents have a cost advantage, and trends shift rapidly without much warning.

Justadozenyearsago,Indiawas seen as a market predisposed to small, affordable cars such as the Tata Nano, Maruti Alto, Hyundai i20andmore.Thenthemarketswit- ched gears and the SUV segment saw buyers rush to buy their cars, allthewhileclearlyleapfroggingthe sedan segment for the masses.

In fact, there is no shortage of sedans that have been yanked out ofthemarket. ThinktheChevrolet Cruze, the Honda Accord and Civic, the Volkswagen Jetta and many others.

For Volkswagen to then launch a brand new sedan is telling. The Latinword"virtus"meansaspecific virtue, with connotations that include valour and manliness. The car is indeed designed to look, act and behave like a well-built European sedan that swims in the segment between the compact sedan VW Vento and the larger Passat, competing with the likes of the Honda City, Škoda Slavia, HyundaiVernaandtheMarutiCiaz.

tive of earlier larger VW sedans. Deftly sculpted shoulder lines, chrome accents on the door han- dles,grilleandnearthewindowsof the car, all come together to make ittakeonanysedaninthesegment.

The Virtus is available in two engineoptions-a1.0LTSI(petrol)in6-speedmanualtransmissionor automatic transmission options, andasportier(andmoreexpensive) GT Performance Line that runs on the1.5LTSIEVOenginehookedup to a 7-speed DSG transmission.

Inside it has all the expected fitoutsofaGermancar.Understated but premium plastics and fabric comprise the seats, and the dash- boardistypicalVWwith easy-to-read functions andspeedometer.There

are other features which, while premium, are getting to be fairly common among most cars nowadays, including wireless charging, ventilated seats, a large infotainment screen and so on.

When you start the Virtus it respondswithareasonablyrefined engine sound, well-tuned engine thatspringstotheroadandhandles the tarmac with ease and agility. Both on slow, traffic-laden lanes as well as on roaring expressways, the Virtusperformscommendablywith

The car shifts from gear to gear in automatic mode without jerki- nessorthefeelingofanyturbo-lag, atestamenttothepopularityofthe DSG gearbox that has been widely usedinVW'ssisterbrand,theAudi, and its range of cars as well.

While the Virtus stands out in a segmentthathasrecentlyseenalot of action (new Honda City, Škoda Slavia), it is no secret that the midrange segment of sedans has been sparse when it comes to choices.
