They painted the Rolls Royce in Red and White to show the extent of their obscenity

It’s a regular chore for me to drive on a piece of land which the authorities call as the Thane-Bhiwandi bypass “Road”. But it was on Friday, 12th September 2008 did I get the shock of my life.

As I made my way between the innumerable potholes, it suddenly occurred to me that I saw the Spirit of Ecstasy. And as my Pothole-insane mind started to gain consciousness, I understood that it was indeed a Rolls Royce Phantom which had passed by the opposite lane. But one sec, something wrong with the Rolls…..but what is it….?

To investigate this, I chased the car, by driving in the opposite direction on the same lane I was driving before. And finally I was successful to reach there since our Rolls was stuck in the traffic.

And what I saw was the brutal act of cruelty. It almost made tears come to my eyes. The Rolls Royce Phantom was painted in Red and White….I said WTF. And it took me no time to realize that this kind of merciless act to the iconic car was done by The Mobile Store. For their promotional stunt they have painted this car in red and white simply showing to what extent they can be obscene and cruel to innocent cars.

I had seen many cars painted in Red and white…I have seen Swift, Indica, 800 and even BMW M3 painted in red and white but a Rolls Royce Phantom…..that’s pathetic…! To me it’s similar to asking your grandpa to dress in a Bermuda and a Hawaiian shirt and move out for an occasion……Imagine how he would look…!

At that point I didn’t had a camera to take a snap of that cruel act. But here are some photos I found on the net.

Things to be considered before fitting CNG or LPG in a car

Here are a few things you should consider before installing a CNG or LPG kit in your car.

1.    Your Budget – If you don’t have a high budget, you should go for LPG which would cost you around Rs 19 to 23K. But the running cost of LPG is 2.5 times that of CNG. The other option is to fit a second-hand CNG kit. Before buying a Second-hand Kit see if the cylinder has a valid certificate and have passed all the safety tests.
2.    Distance you travel everyday – If you travel a long distance (more than 50 Km) then go for CNG which will justify your initial investment of 40K Rs as well as the daily running cost.
3.    Size of your car – CNG cylinders are very huge and heavy usually eating up all you boot space. So if you have a small car or say a hashback then you may not want the CNG cylinder peeping out of your rear window. Instead you would choose for a LPG cylinder which firmly fits in the space for your car’s spare tyre.
4.    How old is your car – These days the RTO does not pass CNG kits in cars which are older that 1996. I may be inaccurate at that, so please check with your RTO, or the agent if you want to use the kit in a legal way.
5.    CNG or LPG stations – If there are enough CNG or LPG stations is your way then only go for fitting the kit. If there is a LPG station where you can visit once or twice in a week then go for LPG, because with limited CNG cylinder capacity you would have to frequently visit the station which might not be possible for you.
6.    Your car’s engine type – It is usually seen that engines with MPFI does not perform well with CNG. But LPG runs smooth with these engines.
These were my suggestions, do share with me your thoughts.

For a car, which is better LPG or CNG?

I have a car, should I fit a CNG or a LPG kit? This is a usual question many people ask. In this post I am not giving any direct answer to this question. But instead I would tell you the Plus and the Minus points of each of these and you find it out what’s suitable for you.

So let’s start with CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). I had 1996 Esteem and I had fitted a CNG Kit into that. I had fitted CNG into my car because my daily running is of 60 Km and CNG is cheap cost around Rs 24 per Kg (in Mumbai).  So it’s a lot of saving.

When you run a car on CNG, the car would give you around +3 Km/kg mileage. For example if your car gives you 10km/ltr on petrol, on CNG it would give you around 13 to 14 Km/Kg.

So far, so good, now let me list down the negatives. First, the initial investment is very high at around Rs 36 to 40K. If your daily running is not high, then this seems to be no good justification for such a large investment which is a depreciating asset. Secondly if your daily running is high, then the standard CNG cylinders available are of sizes 10, 12 and 14 Kg of which 2 Kg is reserve. So you would have to frequently have to visit the gas station….and by the way the gas station can only fill your cylinder full if they have enough pressure. Also these cylinders are huge and heavy in size, eating all you boot space, especially in small cars. And in case if you are planning to move out of metro cities, then there are only limited numbers of CNG stations outside major Metro cities. Also you would find that there is a pickup drop and this is really evident when the Air condition is running.

Let’s move to LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas). The initial investment is low, at around Rs 19 to 23K. You can have a custom made cylinder for LPG which can be fitted in the spare tyre space of your small car and still hold around 20 Kg of gas……because the gas is liquefied. As LPG is more combustible, the Pickup is improved. You would find more LPG stations as compared to CNG. For all you guys who love to break The Law, incase of emergencies, you can connect a domestic LPG cylinder to your car.

The negative points include that when you run a car on LPG, the car would give you around -2 Km/kg mileage. For example if your car gives you 10km/ltr on petrol, on LPG it would give you around 8 to 8.5 Km/Kg. Since LPG being around Rs 39 per Kg (in Mumbai) this turns out to be almost same as running cost on diesel.

There are also myths that running a car on CNG decreases its life. I don’t know how true this is, but as the experts say that if you take care of your engine and check the oil level at regular intervals then there are no harmful effects on the engine. I suggest if you opt for an engine oil specially made for engines running on CNG, I used SAE 20W50.

If your car is under company warranty, then make sure with your car manufacturer that fitting any external kit to your car voids the warranty. These days you get factory fitted LPG kits with quite a few cars, so if you are buying a new car, look for this option if it fits your criteria of car.

Well these were my inputs, do reply to this post and share your thoughts, questions, etc. and happy motoring…!

American and Japanese Spendings

A Very Good Economics Article.......Worth reading...!!!
 
 The Japanese save a lot. They do not spend much.
Also Japan exports far more than it imports.
Has an annual trade surplus of over $100 billion, yet Japanese economy is considered weak, even collapsing.
Americans spend, save little.
Also US import more than it exports.
Has an annual trade deficit of over $400 billion.
Yet, the American economy is considered strong and trusted to get stronger.
But where from do Americans get money to spend?
They borrow from Japan , China , and even India .
Virtually others save for the US to spend.
Global savings are mostly invested in US, in dollars.
India itself keeps its foreign currency assets of over $50 billions in US securities.
China has sunk over $160 billion in US securities.
Japan 's stakes in US securities is in trillions.
Result:
The US has taken over $5 trillion from the world.
So, as the world saves for the US , Americans spend freely.
Today, to keep the US consumption going, that is for the US economy to work, the countries have to remit $180 billion every quarter that is $2 billion a day to the US !
Otherwise the US economy would go for a sick.
So will the global economy.
The result will be no different if US consumers begin consuming less.
A Chinese economist asked a neat question.
Who has invested more, US in China , or China in US?
The US has invested in China less than half of what China has invested in US.
The same is the case with India . We have invested in US over $50 billion.
But the US has invested less than $20 billion in India .
Why the world is after US?
The secret lies in the American spending, that they hardly save.
In fact they use their credit cards to spend their future income.
That the US spends is what makes it attractive to export to the US .
So US imports more than what it exports year after year.
The result:
The world is dependent on US consumption for its growth.
By its deepening culture of consumption, the US has habituated the world to feed on US consumption.
But as the US needs money to finance its consumption, the world provides the money.
It's like a shopkeeper providing the money to a customer so that the customer keeps buying from his shop. The customer will not buy; the shop won't have business, unless the shopkeeper funds him.
The US is like the lucky customer.
And the world is like the helpless shopkeeper financier.
Who is America 's biggest shopkeeper financer?
Japan of course.
Yet it's Japan which is regarded as weak.
Modern economists complain that Japanese do not spend, so they do not Grow.
To force the Japanese to spend, the Japanese government exerted itself.
Reduced the savings rates, even charged the savers Even then the Japanese did not spend (habits don't change, even with taxes, do they?).
Their traditional postal savings alone is over $1.2 trillions, about three times the Indian GDP.
Thus, savings, far from being the strength of Japan , has become its pain.
Hence, what is the lesson?
A nation cannot grow unless the people spend, not save. Not just spend, but borrow and spend.

Dr. Jagdish Bhagwati, the famous Indian-born economist in the US , told that don't wastefully save.
Start spending, on imported cars and, seriously, even on cosmetics! This will put all nations on a growth curve.
"Saving is sin, and spending is virtue."
Before you follow this neo economics, get someone to save so that you can borrow from them and spend.
This is what US has successfully done in last few decades

Windows XP Tips and Tricks - Part 3

Here are some XP Tips and Tricks for the Layman

Removing the Shortcut arrow from Desktop Icons:
Goto Start then Run and Enter regedit. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTlnkfile. Delete the IsShortcut registry value. You may need to restart Windows XP.

Get Drivers for your Devices:
Visit Windows Update (XP Only)
Look at the left hand pane and under Other Options click Personalize Windows Update.
Now in the right hand pane check the box - Display the link to the Windows Update Catalog under See Also
Below Choose which categories and updates to display on Windows Update - make sure you check all the boxes you want shown.

Windows XP Tips and Tricks - Part 2

Here are some XP Tips and Tricks for the Layman

Removing Shared Documents folder From My Computer window:
Open registry editor by going to Start then Run and entering regedit. Once in registry, navigate to key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ My Computer \ NameSpace \ DelegateFolders
You must see a sub-key named {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}. If you delete this key, you have effectively removed the my shared documents folder.

Making Google the Default Search Engine in Internet Explorer:
Open registry editor by going to Start then Run and entering regedit and navigate to following three keys separately and change it as shown below:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Search Page"="http://www.google.com"
"Search Bar"=" http://www.google.com/ie"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL]
""=" http://www.google.com/keyword/%s"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search]
"SearchAssistant"=" http://www.google.com/ie" .

Improving the Slow Boot up time:
There are a variety of reasons why your windows XP system would boot slowly. Most of the times it this has to do with the startup applications. If you would like to speed up the bootup sequence, consider removing some of the startup applications that you do not need. Easiest way to remove startup apps is through System Configuration Utility. Go to Start then Run and enter MSCONFIG and go to the Startup tab. Deselect/UnCheck application(s) that you do not want to startup at boot time.

Customize Logon prompt with your Own Words:
Open Registry by going to Start then Run, entering regedit and Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]. In right pane, look for key by the name "LogonPrompt". Set its value to whatever text you want to see displayed at login screen.


IP address of your connection:
Go to Start then Run. Enter 'cmd' and then enter 'ipconfig' .Add the '/all' switch for more info.

Making Folders Private:
Open My Computer Double-click the drive where Windows is installed (usually drive (C:), unless you have more than one drive on your computer). If the contents of the drive are hidden, under System Tasks, click Show the contents of this drive.
Double-click the Documents and Settings folder. Double-click your user folder. Right-click any folder in your user profile, and then click Properties. On the Sharing tab, select the Make this folder private so that only I have access to it check box. 

To change Drive Letters:
Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management, Disk Management, then right-click the partition whose name you want to change (click in the white area just below the word "Volume") and select "change drive letter and paths."
From here you can add, remove or change drive letters and paths to the partition.

Windows XP Tips and Tricks - Part 1

Here are some XP Tips and Tricks for the Layman

Deleting System Softwares:
XP hides some system software you might want to remove, such as Windows Messenger, but you can tickle it and make it disgorge everything. Using Notepad or Edit, edit the text file /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, search for the word 'hide' and remove it. You can then go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Windows Components and there will be your prey, exposed and vulnerable.

  
Creating Shutdown Icon or One Click Shutdown:
Navigate to your desktop. On the desktop, right-click and go to New, then to Shortcut (in other words, create a new shortcut). You should now see a pop-up window instructing you to enter a command line path.
Use this path in "Type Location of the Item"
SHUTDOWN -s -t 01
If the C: drive is not your local hard drive, then replace "C" with the correct letter of the hard drive. Click the "Next" button. Name the shortcut and click the "Finish" button. Now whenever you want to shut down, just click on this shortcut and you're done.

Increasing Band-Width By 20%:
Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc
To get it back:
Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy then Computer Configuration then Administrative Templates then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler and then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth.
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e."By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.It works on Win 2000 as well.

Renaming The Recycle Bin icon:
To change the name of the Recycle Bin desktop icon, click Start then goto Run, write Regedit and press Enter. It opens Registry Editor. Now in Registry Editor go to

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
and change the name "Recycle Bin" to whatever you want (don't type any quotes).

Managing Tasks:
You can at last get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by using 'taskkill /pid' and the task number, or just 'tskill' and the process number. Find that out by typing 'tasklist', which will also tell you a lot about what's going on in your system.

PHILOSOPHY OF STOCK MARKET

This is How a Layman understands about the stock market

Once upon a time in a village a man appeared who announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rupees (Rs) 10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys went out in the forest and started catching them.

The man bought 1000 monkeys @ Rs 10 and as supply started to diminish and villagers started to stop their effort he announced that now he would buy @ Rs 20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching moneys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to Rs 25 and the supply of monkeys became so that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs 50! However, since he had to go to the city on  some business his assistant would now buy on behalf of the man. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the Villagers "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at 35 and when the man comes back you can sell it to him for 50."

The villagers queued up with all their saving to buy the monkeys. And then never did the villagers find the man not his assistant

Rs 35 Buyer was Finance Minister
And the rest all were.....??
