According to American Intelligence Terrorists are going to attack Delhi and Mumbai on Independence Day. All India Police got red alerts. Level of security hikes like war time, then suddenly America declared that we have not made any statement related to threats to India. And now police are working according to normal protocol.
If we take the example of Delhi only its very easy to install bomb at any crowded place say Sarojini Nagar Market, Lajpat Nagar, Chandni Chawk, Kamla Nagar and the count goes on. It’s impossible to keep check on each and every corner of Delhi or any where in India. If government seriously wants to decrease the terrorist activities then the most important thing is better Intelligence. Just take example of US only, there the security is not only tight but importantly its intelligence work good for it.
Not even a single bombing event happen without prior planning. So instead of keeping an eye on each piece of land its better to have knowledge of that planning and that is possible, only if intelligence is very good. We don’t have ineffective Intelligence services but they are not getting properly utilized. A big percentage of power is wasting in finding out the internal scam.
Is there somebody who will try to improvise the intelligence against anti nation activities?
We are celebrating Independence Day today and the best thing I can say is that I have never seen the Delhi Jaipur National Highway so clean and clear before. I actually drove to office in 5 min (which normally happens to be 25 min). Kewl….
Toyota Innova: Review by Khulla Panga
This is a personal review since I have tried all the other cars that we have listed below in this article. This article is not at all biased with any of the manufactures listed below.
Toyota Innova is really a nice car compared to other cars of the same segment, I am comparing it with
Chevrolet Tavera
TATA Safari
Mahindra Scorpio
This car is no doubt better than its competitors, first of all I don’t call it a SUV but it’s a Car, really. We own a 8 seater G4 model since we don’t find V model worth it in terms of price, V model is approx Rs. 1,20,000/- costlier than the G4 one but don’t have the facilities worth that money.
Innova is definitely more comfortable, better pickup (Scorpio also have a nice pickup), better flexibility (which is definite with a Japanese technology), better handling and nice aesthetic.
But I feel that there is lot of improvement needed in this car. The showroom from which I bough this car claimed that the car will give an economics of 14 Km/liter but that is not there, even after running on the best roads with the normal speed and the best fuel, the car made it to 12 km/liter. Secondly, a 6th high speed gear is needed in the car. When you drive it to 100 Km/hour in 5th gear, the engine sounds like it needs the next gear and the engine sound increases as you increase the speed, which I have never notices in the CRDi engine in the Hyundai Accent. Then the engine becomes normal, when you drive to 120 Km/hr +.
No doubt, the car is the best in its segment, but these things needs to be worked out. For Indian Auto market at least, economics of the vehicle is very important. While the fuel prices are raising like anything, in the near future there will be a much demand for the fuel efficient cars.
Hyundai Accent: Review after 1,00,000 Kms
I have a Hyundai Accent CRDi, the Diesel variant which I bought about 3 years back from Udaipur, Rajasthan. The car is as good as new (the engine) even after running 1,00,000 kms. One of my very good friends bought the same car at the same time and even with the same color. The only reason we chose this car was because of its powerful CRDi engine 82 Bhp @ 4400 rpm which I think was not available in any other car of the same category. This was a new technology at that time, which I think was only available with this car.
I have been driving cars since 6 years, which is though a small time period, but I would like to give some tips to get the best results from these cars. Though my experience is very less, still…..
(1) Get the cars timely serviced.
(2) In case your driving is rash or on bad roads, then get the car serviced at shorter intervals maybe 6000 – 7000 Km if the company has prescribed 10000/- km intervals.
(3) Avoid multiple people handling the vehicle.
(4) Use proper gear ratio. Try to change gears before 2000 rpm (for Hyundai Accent CRDi)
(5) Drive between 80 – 110 kmph to bet the best economics.
(6) Don’t wash the car frequently, maybe once in a week is fine to avoid paint fading.
(7) Avoid AC when you are driving on bad roads or hillside.
And foremost DRIVE SAFELY
There’s news that Reliance Retail has already head hunted some employees of Maruti Udyog limited in Gurgaon is really shocking. Reliance Retail, the expected organized retail chain giant is planning to get into the auto spare parts industry, has already employed Arun De who was the Deputy GM at Maruti’s used car business, True Value.
The company (Reliance Retail) may also get into the vehicle sales too. The spares and accessories market in India, worth Rs 7,000 crore, is essentially driven by small roadside stores.
With the proposed retail venture aims to cover 1,500 cities and towns, with 1,500 supermarkets and 1,000 hypermarkets, I personally feel that this is going to make a sharp turn in the accessories market as well and a bad time for the auto part retailers. Well, nothing’s gonna happen to the authorized showrooms. What can be the reliance’s next step in retail??? Would it be selling bricks, cement, steel for construction and selling chaat pakora or ice creams at every corner of the city??? Who knows ??? :p
Had dinner with friends with wives at the Plaza Solitaire at Sector 14 Gurgaon. I just had a sweet corn soup and others had Dal Makhani, Vegetable pulao, Shahi Paneer, Missi roti and vegetable raita. Food is so so, ambience is good but prices are higher compared to others. We actually planned for Dana Choga, just in the front of Plaza Solitaire but to our disappointment, all the tables were engaged. Nice dinner though… we missed you ankur 
Feel the difference.

Google Server Farms in India!!
Now, Google is also eyeing towards the real estate sector in India. I read the news few days back that Google is planning to set up an SEZ (Special Economic Zone) in India. Well, when India is open for all Business big shots like Reliance, Mahindra, DLF for SEZ, then why can’t Google??
Google had already set up a “Server farm†in Taiwan and now India will be the second destination throughout Asia. They’ll have in total 7 Server Farms worldwide if the Indian “farm†is “cultivatedâ€. As far as I have read on the internet, these server farms are data centers that stores email, chat logs, website, web Blogs and much much more.
One thing is for sure, if Google goes with the development of SEZ or (and) Server Farm in India. Then industry giants like Yahoo and Microsoft and others will definitely see India as a preferred destination for expansion of their operations. As India is already a hub for software, BPO’s and IT Enabled Services, I see a great future for the Indian Economy and the Real Estate Sector.
