Ado..

Was my cousin's wedding over the weekend. It was great! Cousins' weddings are always so.. but this, more so :) ..like the first of my-gang-of-cousins to get married. Life is gonna be that much more different now.

-------------------------------------------

Was my first visit to the 'Metro'. IT does look like one of the US shopping malls.. Target/Walmart !! you have some minor formalities like you need to be a merchant/have a VAT a/c or something to get an entry card. But then, thats ok. Two of my people have that card made without actually being one ;)

And any day ( literally, I need to take a day off to check out all they have to offer), the products here are just what you would find all around you, and just a bit more economical.

Now, when are the Walmarts coming??

Vandalism/Crumbling Infra/Bangaloreons vs Non-Bangaloreons
These seems to be the hot topics on Blog Bang. But one point stands out.. "It seems like everyone is just waiting to extract more money out of you... be it the autowala/house owner/..."

--------------------------------------------

Dear Ford India,

Thank you for your offer and the product, Ford Fiesta. But, you don’t seem to know much about customer service.

For one, don’t deal with us customers as if we can never be contented and that our wants can never be satisfied. (though it may be quite true, we want everything available for the best price). Have some empathy for us. Listen to us and then you will know what we really want.

And for another, just deliver my car!!!!!!!
regards,
Bhaskar

Nonchalance and Agony :(

The Times of India (bangi ed.) says 'City Bounces Back'.
I say.. it is plain apathy & nonchalance!

Nobody (except the opposition political parties - only in their own interest - playing the blame game).. just nobody seemed to have staged any sort of protest against the mindless and utterly condemnable violence and arson in the name of mourning for Dr. Rajkumar. Instead, the paper carries justifications and reasons from psychologists about 'why mourners take to violence'.

What has Bangalore come to??? I am ashamed of being a Bangalorean.

My lappie crashed taking with it all my data/reports/work/mails/documents :(
looks like a hard disk failure.. GOSH!! :( !! :( !!

Confusions!

Life mae... tere life mae confusion ka kuch kami hain kya? (Is there a dearth of confusions in your life?!)

Here... take this easy one...

Which Car to buy????
Chevy Aveo 1.4 or Ford Fiesta 1.4


Some pointers..

Aveo looks rock... Fiesta is not bad either.
Aveo suspension is great.. Fiesta is just ok.
Aveo has less legroom.. Fiesta is so very comfortable.
Aveo has lesser bootspace than Fiesta.. doubt if two medium suitcases would fit easily on the floor.
Aveo (181cms) has better ground clearance than Fiesta (168cms)
Aveo seems to have greater powerloss with full AC while changing gears than Fiesta (this could be a hindrance in overtaking on highways, wouldnt it?)
Aveo again seems to have a li'l less fuel efficiency than the other..
And I cant really decide on the accessories and spare parts...

Your analysis would be very helpful if it reaches me in the next 24 hrs!

Thanks,
Bhaskar

Eternal Life!
