The most expensive car- Bugatti Veyron

When I thought of writing about this car in my blog, I was confused of  how to define the most amazing production car in the world? Would it be:

• The car with the most horsepower?
• The car with the fastest top speed and acceleration?
• The most expensive car?

At the moment, the Bugatti Veyron appears to have it all:

• A W-16 engine that can produce 1,001 horsepower
• A top speed of 250+ mph (400+ kph)
• A zero-to-60 time of three seconds
• A zero-to-180 time of 14 seconds
• A price tag somewhere in the $1.2 million range.

Before the launch of Buggati in India,  the most expensive cars in the Indian market were Rolls-Royce Phantom, Benty Muslane and the Mercedes-SLS which are priced at about Rs 5 crore.

VOLKSWAGEN GROUP"S Bugatti Automobiles launched its costliest ever car in India on Thursday ( oct 28 ) amidst much fanfare and anticipation. It is priced at Rs 16 crore in India. It uses components made of special materials like titanium, carbon fibre and magnesium, powered by an 8-litre engine with 16 cylinders.

Happy Diwali

Come Diwali and there’s a phenomenon that enters our daily lives, which is as ubiquitous as the sound of crackers.
   Dhamaal....dhumeel....are all the sounds what I heard the whole day. To be honest, I fear of crackers right from my childhood. I go up to some dark room and close my self into the room....LOL. The same incident happened this diwali..stuffed my ears with cotton balls. I have a great abhorrence for crackers specially the one which produces enormous sound and smoke. The sounds produce a jerk in the body at its every burst and that highly irritates. Every time I wonder how that small atom bomb produces such a large amount of sound. The only cracker which i have tried till day is Sparkler ( very safe..:) )
   But, I always like to watch the crackers which produces colorful lights. But haven't tried one still. Will always have a look at what my sister and brother do. We moved to terrace to burst crackers and had a great time over there. After some time, we started to play tennikoit.
   I still wonder why people have such an allurement for crackers. Frankly, I feel it is a waste of money. While bursting them, they don't even look at how it bursts. I would opt for light producing ones over sound crackers. We could watch at those wonderful colors and atleast enjoy.
   As always, felt sad as the day of diwali ended. All would get on with their routine. But still,the wait for the next Diwali has started..:)
    

On the eve of Diwali

Diwali is certainly a season of joy and cheer.

     Today, I really had a nice time doing Diwali eve shopping. Dad, Mom, Sis, Me and brother walked a long way along with the huge crowd. Even though the huge crowd  seems to be irritating, it is always a joy walking in the crowd during festival season ( specially diwali ). Such a crowd could be expected only in Diwali.

     We planned to eat something and then landed to an ice cream parlour. To be frank, it was the first time, we ate icecream with utmost satisfaction..:).We ordered for three varieties. It was like having a sumptuous dinner in a 5 star hotel..:)
   Light the lamps in your heart and feel the glow.

    

Go Green for Diwali

It is the time to celebrate Diwali. This is the only festival where people wait for and enjoy its arrival before one month itself. Still, only 2 days to wait for this wonderful festival. Streets are crowded with people for the last minute shopping.

Diwali is a time of getting together with family and friends. But, in all this celebration, we often forget one most important aspect...Guess what..?? POLLUTION

Bursting crackers is definitely a fun...none can deny it, but we should even consider the effect it has on the environment. So none can ban fireworks as it is not a practical solution. Also, if there are no fireworks, then it doesn't look to be like diwali. 

The only solution is an eco-friendly product. It can produce light and minimum sound, but does not cause any harm to the environment.

People should get alarmed of the increased percentage of pollution around them and should go for eco-friendly products. Let this Diwali bring in lots of happiness and enlighten all our minds.

Colours..:)

Yesterday, I was praying to God that this month should fill up my life with happiness and should be filled with bright colours..

 By then, something striked my mind..

What if there is no concept of colour..??How will the world be like without any colour?

It is really hard to imagine...

There would not be any sweet fights between siblings when Mom brings dresses of two different colours...:)

Life would be monotonous

Colours are thought to have different energies, which can be channeled into our bodies.

I like to quote out some cultural connotations to colour:

Orange: It is viewed as a bright cheerful colour in the west, in Indian symbolism it is representative or sacrifice and valor, especially in the battle field. 

White: The west brides wear white, in India widows wear white.

Red: Red in India is the colour for a married woman, the colour of her bridal attire, the vermillion in the parting of her hair, the colour of the bangles she wears!

Colours have the power to alter our perception of what we see.  If you have a  small room, colouring it in light colours can make it appear larger. With the right colours you can create a serene haven in your room that can soothe and calm.  

Finally, I thanked God for bestowing me with a good vision.

Pink for October

Wondering what..??

October is the month of the pink ribbon.

Worldwide, breast cancer comprises 10.4% of all cancer incidence among women, making it the most common type of non-skin cancer in women and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. This explains the number of awareness campaigns about breast cancer during the month of October.

So this month is dedicated for breast care awareness.

So are you ready to wear pink ribbon..??

End of 5th semester

    Fifth semester ended on october 25 and all university practicals were over by then. All were happy as diwali is nearing. But the next day ( october 26 ), an unbelievable event happened. It was the death of my classmate named K.D.Prashanth. I received the message of his death on 26th evening through sms.

     I had not even spoke to him in the college. But still, his death worried me as it was someone who was much closer to me.Eventhough, he left this world at a very young age, he will remain in all our hearts forever...we all students together prayed for his soul to rest in peace...

 A famous adage comes to my mind..

    When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice
