V2: My efficient steed
Tata Indica V2

yes garuda, premium diesel does make a small difference.... i fill my vehicle with IOC ExtraMile Super Diesel ans there is a visible increase in 'pick-up' compared to other V2s that use normal fuel. engine noise is reduced too... the best part is that this fuel costs only 30 paise more than the n...ormal dieselRead More

A Paradise for Veggies

Unlike citizens of other southern cities like Chennai or Bangalore, more Hyderabadis prefer non-vegetarian cuisine. Diehard vegetarians (like my mom) who would prefer only to pure veg restaurants have fewer places to visit. But the many vegetarian restaurants that have come up in recent times in...Read more

MITHUN - the People's Star
Mithun Chakraborty

Mithun has been one of my fave actors since long... gia, if i mention a list of his movies, i think it wud go for a page or two! matwala, what do u mean 'hithun'...? milind, are u sure he did not win for Gudiya? i thot he did. and are u sure abt the Vivekananda film ...too? ...and pritam, most of the city folks look down upon Mithun films except a few loyalists like us! just invite your friends or neighbours for a Mithun Film Fest at your house and see... :-DRead More

MITHUN - the People's Star

I wonder why nobody has yet reviewed this amazing actor who ruled the roost in the 80s and was considered the next Amithab in those times...? I guess that is because Mithun Chakraborthy does not appeal to the web browsing 'sophisticated' class of people...or maybe we are ashamed at having to tal...Read more

Be BOLD To CHANGE
Converting Petrol Car to LPG

dont u know what you are suggesting is ILLEGAL anywhere in India. the subsidised cylinders are meant for cooking only. you would be fined heavily by the RTA if your LPG fitment is noticed. moreover, in case of an accident your insurance firm would not settle your claim to your satisfaction becau...se of illegal LPG cylinder use. the best way is to go for legal RTA approved LPG fitment where the permanent cylinder is placed inside the boot. this is apart from the obvious dangers because LPG cylinders are inherantly unstable, esp the valves. NEVER USE COOKING GAS CYLINDERS IN A VEHICLE.Read More

Cost Savings With Diesel Are An Illusion
Petrol Vs. Diesel car

the obvious flaw in your math is that u assumed equal fuel efficiency for diesels and petrols. its a fact that diesel engines are more efficient than petrol engines because of better burning of fuel. in indica for instance, the petrol gives and average of abt 10-11 kmpl and diesel gives abt 17 km...pl. this difference, plus the low diesel cost is responsible for the popularity of diesel cars.Read More
