BMW Mini, the pioneers of modern cars is coming big way into the Indian market. In fact the launch of the cars has gained steam and the upcoming Delhi International auto expo in January 2012 could well see the unveiling of the Mini cars.

While speaking to the reporters at the ongoing Frankfurt Auto Expo, Member of the board of management, BMW Group, said Harald Kruger said, "We are introducing the Mini in India to build our brand image."

While, further informing about this iconic brand, Mr. Kruger said, "A lot of Indians who have studied abroad are familiar with the brand. They are our potential customers. They perhaps drove the Mini when they were abroad and will miss it when they are back in India. While Mini in the rest of the world is an ageless brand, in India, we think it will have a huge potential for the young people." "It can be driven for an evening dinner out or to a sports event or as a city runabout."

The car imported to India will be a completely built unit. This follows the same trend the way the cars like Volkswagen’s iconic Beetle and Fiat’s popular 500 model were imported. This means that the Mini Cooper will be levied a 102 percent import duty. The starting price tag of BMW Mini is expected to be Rs 23 lakh in the country.

The company will launch the entire variants in the BMW Mini inclusive of the BMW Cooper, BMW Countryman, BMW Clubdoor and the BMW Cabrio. The high end Clubman would reportedly be priced at the 30 lakh range which would also include a total sports deal and accessories. The Mini is expected to be accompanied by other luxury hatchbacks like the Mercedes-Benz BClass and the Audi A3 next year.

The New Luxury Sedan Car Is the Renault Fluence

Image result for renault fluence

The external looks of the car is the first come to the notice. The design is completely off beat and different from the rest of the pack. The front grille, chrome and head lights all complement each other very well. The inside leg space is huge. The car has good road clearance and will be an easy ride on the roads.

The inside of the car is also well decorated with high tech advanced features. The seats are adjustable and can be folded. The music is taken care by the music player and blue tooth option. The wipers, head lights, cup holders and other things are all taken care of for a comfortable driving experience in the car. The air conditioner is surrounding cooled and you can have a pleasant weather experience during any time of the day. The car also boasts of remote features like key less entry, smart card, on and off button including the boot that can be maintained using a remote.

The car has an auto gear transmission for an easy drive. The auto gears do ease the pleasure of driving to an extent but it also leads to lapses in performance of the car. The auto gears are a bit slow in shifting due to the delayed ratio settings. The car does give a good mileage but with a loss of performance.

The ride handling and safety of the car makes for an easy drive and smooth journey. The shock absorbers are alive and tough with good bump negation. On the whole the car is good in terms of driver comfort, ease of drive, good interiors and some cool high tech features. All said and done the car can be ignored at your own peril. It is a good car with decent mileage and enough power for your daily use.

The Renault Fluence is available in both petrol and diesel. The price in India is Rs 14.40 lakh for the petrol automatic version while the diesel is priced at Rs 12.99 lakh ex showroom in Delhi. This new premium car from Renault comes with an all body color tone. However there no exact reports regarding the colors of the car.

Great options with high tech features are the main selling point of the car. The car has good interior space and does not pinch your pocket at the petrol pump. The Renault Fluence seems to have all the makings of the next best seller.

Renault Is All Geared up for a Triple Bang

Image result for renault brand

Renault India just seems to not stop. With the year end just round the corner the company is going all out to end the year with a bang.As earlier mentioned in the previous reports the company is planning to launch three more cars.

The three cars would also include a small car which seems to be the buzz word these days among the Indian auto markets. This was revealed by a company top official. All these cars are exclusively part of Renault Company and it has nothing to do with any of its previous associations with the Mahindra. Even the future associations if any have nothing to do with company’s present cars being launched. They are totally owned by the Renault right from the Auto Cad part to the on road release of the cars. The Renault Vice President (Sales and Marketing) Len Curran was all strong about Renault going single in the Indian auto circuit at least for the time being.

First of the three cars would be the genesis of a small car. The latter would be a mini sports utility vehicle for the off beat and comfort car owners. The final car in the trilogy would be the entry segment luxury car which would most probably be a sedan. This is part of the company’s plans to be in the top three car makers of the Indian market.

On the eve of the Renault Koleos launch, Len Curran added that the car was particularly launched in Kerala because of its strategic business proposition. Currently in Kerala for every 1000 people, 40 of the people own a car.

As of now the number is fourteen with respect to the dealerships in Kerala. The company plans to add another 40 by the mid year of 2012. Renault Koleos has so far been debuted only in India.

The price of the car stands at Rs 22.94 lakh (ex-showroom). The Koleos is created at the Renault's Chennai plant, which has a production capacity of 50,000 cars annually.

Biggest Auto Car Bonanza Is on at Frankfurt

Image result for International Motor Show frankfurt

International Motor Show
is now underway at Frankfurt, Germany. The show is host to some of the biggest auto launches and this year was no exception. In spite of the global economic turbulence the show had at least over 1000 participants from over 35 nations and is expected to garner up to 80 new launches in the forthcoming days.

Audi this year has gone all out with its next gen space theme display exhibition. In fact the exhibition area was big enough to test drive the Audi cars. The Audi RS5 updated version was unveiled. Other cars shown were the RS version of A3 and the TT. The new A2 hatchback concept car was also showcased.

Jaguar and the Land Rover too had some tricks up their sleeve. Jaguar showed the CX-16 sports car. The Rover yet again went off road with the DC100 and DC 100 sports variants. Volkswagen too not wanting to be left behind showed its class. The Volkswagen Up ! Car was the most talked about small car. It expected to compete with the likes of the Hyundai i10 and Maruti Suzuki Wagon R.

The Skoda showed the MissionL concept. Inspired from the Volkswagen Vento , it is expected to compete with the Honda City. Porsche showcased their new 911 with the same old fervor and fun. The Lamborghini unveiled its Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale, a slim version of the Gallardo super car and the Bugattic revealed its Veyron, which seemed a bit awkward. Bentley came up with their racy car the Continental GTC.

The Mercedes-Benz showed its class with new B-class MUV which is expected to land in India in 2012. It also revealed was the next gen S-class. Honda came up with its next line of Civic for which we will have to wait until the 2012.

Hyundai made its presence felt with the Hyundai i30 with some updated tweaks to the car. The Hyundai i30 looks to underpin the Elantra and is a competitor to the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla. It is expected to be on roads again by 2012. Maserati came up with their Jeep base and is all set to enter the Indian markets.

The trend was set up by the European luxury car makers which indicate the focus is on the premium segment with focus on technology, hybrid variants and pollution levels. Small cars too seemed to be the focus of some auto makers like the Volkswagen.

Citigo Is the Newest and the Smallest Car from the house of Skoda

Image result for skoda citigo

Skoda Citigo is the newest and the smallest car from the house of Skoda. The Czech car maker is gearing up the car specifically for the Indian markets although initially the car was planned for the Europe. The past efforts from the company to break into the compact car segment in the Indian market with the Skoda Fabia was not very fruitful and is now once again planning to gulp up some big volumes by launching the entry level product.

"The Citigo, which is mainly a small car for the Europe, also has potential in a market like India," said the Skoda Auto Global chairman Winfried. Vahland, who was in India to monitor the making of the upcoming entry level sedan Skoda Rapid (inspired from Volkswagen Vento), adding that India remains one of the key markets for the company globally, along with China and Russia.

"We are very optimistic on the Indian market and expect growth rates between 10% and 20% in the coming years."

The Skoda Citigo will be launched in the Czech market in late 2011 and in Europe by the start of summer 2012. The car is yet another proof of the company's policy of value for money brand within the Volkswagen (VW) stable, the Citigo will be a cost efficient car compared to the Volkswagen Up!

Vahland further stated that the Citigo’s entry into India will be more as a supporter to the Volkswagen. "If it makes sense, we will do it together with the group." Reports also reveal that the brand treatment for the Citigo will have the same strategies and synergies to that of the Volkswagen Up! This is expected to be on the roads next year.

Vahland said the company is looking to rake up sufficient sales volume in India. "The Rapid is the first model in this direction and it is the first car from the Skoda brand which has been designed, keeping in mind the special needs of Indian customers. It will be manufactured here."

The Skoda Rapid will make its debut in India in December and will brush shoulders with the likes of Nissan Sunny, Toyota Etios, Maruti Dzire, Ford Fiesta Classic and Tata Indigo Manza. The car will be priced lower than Volkswagen Vento, whose price starts at Rs 7lakh

Why I want to be a Writer

Image result for do what you love
Do what you love, love what you do. I guess this sums up why I want to be a copy writer.

Any further justification would be like explaining how much you love some one, where I believe the question itself is wrong? Similarly there is no such thing as why I wanted to be a copy writer or neither am I extremely talented to support my career choice. It is not because I doubt my abilities but realistically I am also aware that you cannot please everyone.

 

That does not mean I am blindly in love with this profession because I could not find anything else. It all started like this…Luckily from my early days I had this knack of doing things with consciousness. Somehow I was always dissatisfied with what I did.

 

Unlike most youth who join a job due to their ignorance or peer pressure or even for monetary gains, I did not tread this path. So I set upon the soul searching quest to know the purpose of my life and so it began. Not finding what I wanted I ran from pillar to post. Being a cynical guy too did not help my cause. All the answers I got from various people, career experts, peers and sometimes my own self were all met with stringent pinch of salt.

 

Finally the moment of epiphany had arrived. Not that I had to make a decision but truly it had happened. It cannot be explained in words it was an experience. I forcibly took upon myself to find my career path. So thus my career choice was not a fluke but a rigorous process that has led me to be a copy writer.

This is Not Fare

Image result for bmtc high ticket

As if the potholes, dug roads, and the traffic humdrum was not enough for the bangalorean commuter, especially for those that depend on ‘Public Transport’, they now have to bear the fare demands (pun intended) of the auto drivers and the ever rising prices of the bmtc buses.

Sample this, in Tamil Nadu, though the auto fare is the same, there is a novel mode called the ‘Share Auto’ where you pay five rupees for any destination. All you have to do is to get an auto plying on your route and share the auto with five to six people. Do not worry the autos are also sizeable enough.

Well if you’re a tough bangalorean, one can deal with the situation to an extent by not choosing to yield to unfair demands of the auto drivers. We can choose the buses but the bmtc seems to be in a league of their own. In fact the trend is such that today three people travelling by bus to a 4-5km destination would pay the same total if they went in the auto. And this is just the tip of the ice berg.

Recently I had a trip to Chennai and on my commute there not once did I pay a ticket fare over ten rupees. The maximum I shelled out was eight rupees for over a distance of 40km. With the same amount of eight rupees in Bangalore one would hardly get to travel 8 km.

One can understand that in Bangalore the petrol prices are also bit high compared to Chennai.  So let us take our own ksrtc into consideration. The fare from Kempegowda bus terminal to doddaballapur is 16 rupees which is a distance of 40km. But the ksrtc charges 14 rupees from yelahanka  to doddaballapur which is just 20 km. And if you take a bmtc bus from kempegowda to yelahanka you shell out the same 12 rupees in ordinary buses.

With such high fares one would surely expect some compensation in the form of good service, but again the bmtc falls flat in this regard. In Bangalore the bus frequency reduces drastically after 9pm and after midnight the service is next to nothing even in major city centres.  In tamil nadu there is no dearth of buses even at midnight and even the suburbs have 24/7 bus facility.

Bangalore the high tech city surely scores low on 24/7 accessibility or the tariffs. This is really not fare. Will the concerned authorities learn something from our nearest neighbours  rather than going to high-fi foreign trips to improve the same.

Yet another feather in the cap for Jain

Image result for pankaj advani

Pankaj Advani added a new sparkle to the Jain University (also known as Sri Bhagawan Mahaveer Jain College) when he won the World Billiards Championship.

Pankaj Advani defeated nine times champion Mike Russell at the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds to win the elusive World Professional Billiards Championship.

 

On asking about the victory, Pankaj said that his tournament policy is “enjoy your game and give it your best shot. Results will show automatically”

But considering his jinx at world tournaments this is the one Pankaj Advani was desperately waiting for. Not because it was the one trophy missing from his cabinet, but because it has proved the critics wrong.

 

The Jain cap is already brimming with feathers like:

  • Robin Uthappa – International Cricketer representing the India.

  • Manish Pandey – The only Indian to score Centuries  in both Indian Premier League and the Karnataka Premier League.

  • Ambi - son of acclaimed violinist Dr.Lakshminarayana Subramaniam, equally matching  the footsteps of his father

Meanwhile accolades poured in all from corners for the magical Cueist including stalwarts like the  - Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday congratulated ace cueist Pankaj Advani for winning the World Professional Billiards Championships in Leeds, England.And the Jain University also recognized the feats of this Jainite* and had arranged a grand felicitation on the 16th September 16, 2009 as a small token of thanks giving who has made us proud and set an example for the up coming jainites.

Finally, at the rate which jainites are making us proud one can surely see that cap is going to one hell of a feathery tale. Go Jainites go….

Apple iPod touch - All in One Device



The Apple - iPod touch is a bridge between highly advanced technologies and the present users. This device has some revolutionary leaps that take the Apple - iPod touch to a radically different level that open up an entirely new spectrum of possibilities.

 

The Apple - iPod touch is a device that really bridges the future… rather brings it..right here..right now.

 

All in one device

 

With its projection technology, the apple I touch is an all in one device. Based on the principle of your optical disks your Apple - iPod touch is a device which can transform into any device in a virtual form (projection) and yet touch sensitive at the same time. So, the next time you want a new electronic just look into your Apple - iPod touch Further, utilization of biodegradable materials might make production and recycling of devices easier and ecologically friendly.

 

 

Self-Cleaning and hygienic

 

  • Apple - iPod touch is a self-cleaning and self-preserving and anti bacterial device(Covering), with its nanotechnology.


Nanotechnology also can be leveraged to create self-cleaning surfaces on mobile devices, ultimately reducing corrosion, wear and improving longevity.

 

Continuous Charging

  • Built-in solar absorption charges the device, whilst mechanical charges with touch screen.


iTouch has a body cover including the surface of the device that is a natural source of energy via a covering of “solar cell” that harvest solar power. At the same time with its touch screen being sensitive, every touch on your Apple - iPod touch will make the mechanical energy converted to electric energy charging your device. So no more feeling guilty of over usage or addiction

Life

The projection technology coupled with the recording features would empower users to a total recall of their lives right from the moment the record has been put on. So the next you forget what happened to you last week or the place where you hid your important thing just look in to your apple life. Ultimately these can help you make the key decisions that guide our daily actions and ultimately can enhance your life. Off course don’t blame us if your spouse caught your secrets….by peeking into apple life.

Stealers beware…..Tracker is here.

With built in tracking coupled with GPS, the next time your Apple - iPod touch gets lost just log into the net enter your IMEI no and get the location of your Apple I touch with GPS

In addition to the advances above, the integrated electronics shown in the itouch  costs just $229 and include more functionality in a much smaller space, even as interfaces are simplified and usability is enhanced. All of these new capabilities will unleash new applications and services that will allow us to communicate and interact in unprecedented ways.

 

The tooth is here

Apple is tired being called toothless, and its time we showed that we too could bite. So, we have put in that extra bite to your device with the bluetooth feature. So the next time your friends call you toothless, you know what to do.

 

 

Two in one - Gemini

With dual sim capabilities and simultaneously working you apple is no more single. With apple gemini you can use two sims and both work at the same time. So now you can call two persons, talk the same thing, but with different nos. And with conference call facilities from your operator. Who knows you could just reach out your entire gang.

 

Total Recall

Worried your device just met its end (damaged), and gone are the all those endless contacts, applications, music and precious collections. Well don’t with apple istore you can now have all your data backed up automatically/ manually to our servers with your username and password.

And later the synchronize the data or download it your new device. Also you can save it your personal computer or other storage devices and access it as and when required.

And the usual suspects

3G,

wifi,

wimax enabled, PTT, infrared etc.

Fun with Vedic mathematics

Image result for vedic maths

Vedic mathematics is solving of mathematical problems with simple mathematical formula from the ‘Vedas’. The very word ‘Veda’ has this derivational meaning that is the fountainhead and illimitable store-house of all knowledge. This derivation, in effect, means, connotes and implies that the Vedas contain within themselves all the knowledge needed by mankind relating not only to the so called ‘spiritual’ matters but also to the means required by humanity as such for the achievement of all round, complete and perfect manner.

 

The Vedas, traditionally accepted in India as repository of all knowledge, should be and not what they are in human possession. That approach entirely turn the table on all critics, for the authorship of vedic mathematics then need not be laboriously searched in the text as preserved from antiquity. The Vedas are well-known as four in number Rig, Yajur, Sama and atharva, but they have also the four upavedas and the six vedangas all of which form an indivisible corpus of divine knowledge as it once as and as it may revealed. [The four Vedas as follows:

Rigveda

Samaveda

Yajurveda

Atharveda

Upaveda

Ayurveda

Gandharva veda

Dhanurveda

Sthapatyaveda

 

In the above given list the Upaveda of Sthaptya or engineering comprises all kinds of architectural and structural human endeavour and all visual arts. Most of formulas is taken from the part of Parishta of Atharvaveda for the students from higher secondary to the engineering levels.

 

Each suthras (mathematical) formula in these Parisishtas has their individual excellence in solving problems in simple form. The students will be filled with fun to solve the problems in an easier and faster way than the calculators if they unravel the Pandora’s Box of Vedic mathematics. There is no doubt that man made - calculators and computers and the vice versa.
