Ltd.— KT photo by Juidin Bernarrd As per KT ’s Circulation Manager, Constance Moraes, the scheme got a tremendous response with new subscribers coming into KT ’s fold. KT’ s lucky draw winner, and now proud owner of a new car, Venkatraman Prakash, a Logistics Manager at Al Tajir Glass, accompanied by his wife, Rama, drove an electric blue Mazda 3 away from the Mazda showroom on Shaikh Zayed Road on Tuesday afternoon. Rama’s favourite part of the newspaper is City Times . She is the first person to wake up in the household and brew her morning coffee, so the paper is first hers. Rama enjoys reading the Wknd magazine which she saves every week to post to her daughter, a model married and settled in Muscat, but who visits them every few months. The Prakash couple was pleased with the colour of the car although Venkatraman said he wouldn’t have minded a red. Their other car is a grey-coloured Dodge. Venkatraman will drive the Mazda 3 to his office in Jebel Ali, but only every alternate day as he is part of a car pool. Tuesday being not his day to drive to work, Venkatraman got dropped to the new Mazda showroom so he could drive the new car back to their home in Al Qusais. The couple was greeted and handed over the keys of their new car by Moraes and Axel Dreyer, General Manager of Galadari Automobiles Co. Ltd. The pair shook hands with the new owner and his wife, and wished them the best of luck. Rama promised a treat — “Definitely!” — to the delivery boy who gets her copy of KT to her doorstep. — news@khaleejtimes.com Taylor Scott International
