Have you ever measured distance in songs? I confess to this unit of measurement, where you play exactly a few songs from your playlist and by the end of which you would have reached the destination? This system is my way of keeping track of the drag coefficient caused by rains, Ganesha immersions on time taken to cover the same distance. For example, home to office is seven and half songs during normal days, if i go to the ninth or tenth song, i look for attribution of the traffic congestion and make a mental note, so next time i have to compensate by starting 3 songs early from home! If you do this too, someday we can both be nominated to Ig Nobel Prize.

Ok, now to the main point.

Daily commute is a miserable chore, but only if you choose it to be left that way. First we got Ola cabs to drive us around and liberate from parking woes. Then we got a one up with Ola Play, where cars are equipped with a range of infotainment options and enhanced driver assistance.

If you are thinking, i have bring my own device and data to my Ola ride, think again, we are perennially looking for that charger or battery pack, and the constant notifications (rose bouquets good morning forwards) interrupt our content consuming experience. So the screens on Ola Play is a huge saviour.
