People’s Car..

with 2 comments


Tatas are known for their trust and credibility in the market. Consumer products, Information systems n communications, IT services, energy, steel plants and . . . . (list will go on and on if I start putting them down here). I am not here to praise them for their contribution to the society, everyone knows about that. But after seeing Ratan Tata unveil the new Tata nano (yesterday’s big story on every single news channel.. ), I couldn’t restrain myself from putting a pic of this cute looking car on this blog and why not… Afterall we are talking about a car that can well be the future quadracycle (quadracycle.. ?? a term made to originate from bicycle). Arguably this is the cheapest car (worth 1 lac) that has ever been produced on this planet earth and someone called it as people’s car (as if the cars manufactured up till now have been made for animals to use.. :P )

Well.. I cant wait to see this nano (hope it lives up to its impressive name) hitting the market. Whether it will bring any drastic changes to the car industry (and the lifestyle in particular) remains to be seen.. but for now we can just go on reading about it and appreciate it. coz it is the People’s Car..

Cricket .. (or is it controversies )

with 2 comments

The terms cricket and controversies have become synonyms of late. The one liner “Cricket is a gentleman’s game” has become the biggest joke. Trust is the last thing you will see in the cricket field. “Winning by hook or crook” found its meaning with all its glory on a fifth day of a test match which had seen cricketing soldiers fighting it out for four days, only to find themselves bakrified by some f@#$%^& sequence of events . And yes.. umpires and players have interchanged their roles in a game.

This is not all.. The (reverse) racism accusations couldn’t have come at a better time. Cultural differences is the word Aussies use to defend themselves. WTF is going on ?? Hell with these Aussies..

(This was the [inside] story, that was disclosed by a reliable source)

Ponting and Co

Procter:Did you call Symonds as Monkey?
Bhajji: No,I called a monkey as Symonds.
Procter:So you did
Bhajji : (Silence)
Procter : How dare,you insulted a monkey.You are banned for 3 matches.
Bhajji : Sad
Ponting& Co : !!???
Ponting : hey,Symonds.What he said?
Symonds : What ever,he is banned.You can bat well next game.
Ponting : No,Anil is also there,ask him whether he can ban him also.
S ymonds : We’ll see in next match,if he takes your wicket,we’ll complain.
Ponting; Then ok. Come
