Can I say Agra sucks?
Agra

I agree with you in terms of infrastructure. But then what do you expect in a country which was plundered systematically and ruthlessly for 1200 years by virtually every so-called developed country in the modern world.. the Arabs, Greeks, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, virtually everyone. Tha...nks to the education system set up by the Brits, a sense of worthlessness, cynicism and selfishness is ingrained into the psyche of the entire population. I could go on... but then I guess you will not understand. You didn't have to put yourself through the torture of a road journey from Delhi to Agra. You could have gone by the train. About hotels in Agra, I have stayed in some really good hotels for about Rs.1,500 a night. Just because you couldn't find one doesn't mean that there are none. You come from a country which has 20 percent of India's population and 500 percent India's land area, enjoys 40 percent of luxuries in the world, emits 25 percent of the world's green house gases, generates annual household waste of about 250 million tonnes a year...Read More

CBZ Xtreme : True 150cc Champion
Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme

Hey dude, You know I think you have gone overboard in praising your bike. Frankly in my opinion the CBZ Xtreme is one of the bad looking bikes in the country. Everything is ok in the bike except the tail light console. Looks really sick... And handling no way you can give it 10/10... you could g...ive it max 7/10 or 6/10 would be more like it on a long run. anyway enjoy riding and have fun sriRead More

Best Executive Bike in its segment...
TVS Motor Victor GL DLX

Hey buddy, You seem to write like the PRO of TVS Motor Company. The Victor is no doubt a very good bike but there are various flaws in the bike. You must write what you experienced with the bike, the good things and also the frustrating moments riding the bike. cheers srinidhi

Reviewed 300 Movie

Heroic historical incident portrayed differently

My friend a great movie buff wanted to take me to this movie. I wasn't too sure when I heard the name "300" but when she said it is a war movie I agreed and went ahead. The movie narrates the story of the courage and valor showed by a band of 300 Spartan soldiers as they fight and almost-defe...Read more

Hi, The review is very sketchy. It doesn't talk about the weight-power ratio of the car. I have heard that the Safari doesn't have enough power to support its weight. And technical specifications are not given, what about electricals etc.. Anyway keep writing. Sri

"Every Indian Can Fly" -Uncertainly.
Simplifly Deccan

I took Air-Deccan Flight from Bangalore-Delhi and back. While the flight was ok... the staff were totally uncourteous. The plane was full of mosquitos and both sides delayed by almost 2 hrs and 5 hrs respectively. I am surprised that you say every fifth flyer will complain... I'd put that to every... third... anyway I'd suggest Capt Gopinath to shape up soon or Air Deccan will plunge into the depths of the sea which borders the Deccan Plateau.Read More

Nothing like a Unicorn
Honda Unicorn 150 cc

Your review reads like a plug. I'd rather talk about how the bike feels on the city roads and on country roads.. how is the new monoshock suspension working... I heard it is rather hard... and how smooth engine functions... But anyway.. if you are that happy... keep updating your review after you ...clock 5000 and 10000 kms.... we will see the difference.Read More

Royal Nawab
Royal Enfield Bullet STD 12V

Hi, You know you have touched upon several aspects of the bike and its feel but it seems like you were in a big hurry to finish the review and run... god knows where. Be more detailed and talk about other aspects of the bike. The negatives according to me... too much oil consumption, low mileag...e, too expensive, no finish etc. I wish you give a balanced opinion rather than a one sided point of view. It is like saying that because you own it you feel it is the best. It may not be. Even the best bike has its own flaws. Nothing is perfect yet... SrinidhiRead More
