Get Educated on getting a new Bike

Education to me is knowledge or skill obtained or developed by a learning process... Err... to be generous here am not trying to behave like one of those teachers who tells us what to do and what not to do... Wanted to put a across a a very simple thought of getting a new bike and thought i would share it with you folks with a different flavor to it...

Education has taught me how to do things differently and also made me wisely on how to apply myself in difficult situations... So before i thought i did something differently and tried to apply my brains, let me share something about that...

Bikes for me has always been a passion and i was wondering the times when i would own one... So the time came i had decided to own a new bike and with the same old passion i went in search of the beast.. This experience was indeed harrowing and fruitful until i realized this is what i want... To me the best thing you need to do before trying to do something is getting educated on what you are trying to do.. am might sound a little weird here, but its as simple as this - "GET EDUCATED"

How do you get educated??? Answer to this simple - Keep asking questions , you shouldn't worry about the kind of stupid questions you ask... Anything from how many employees are employed here to Do you have any idea what John Abraham is riding??? But these really wouldn't educate you much but rather give answers to ones of your interests.

Do you want to get educated, so listen carefully and maintain pin drop silence, again sounding like one of those mortals in classrooms.. The first best thing to do is try answering the following questions and you will be exactly at a standpoint where you wanted to be... Let me talk about this with my experience on getting a new bike.. What would be the first question to ask ,Which bike should i get Splendor, Pulsar, unicorn??? This is one of the worst first questions that you can ask yourself when getting a new bike... These answers came up just because one of your close buddies have them... But the whole point of getting educated on getting a new bike is missing... Let me not be so detailed here, the first and foremost is

Why do you need a bike now, Did you have one earlier and looking for a change or planning your first beast???

How many miles you drive every day or in a week, get an approximate number???

Is bike your only source of transportation???

Are you looking out for a gear or gear less vehicle??

Are you looking for one which would save your pocket or one which go just few miles emptying your pocket?? Basically the mileage, the fuel economy. Be careful here the number look little more than exaggerating. This hugely depends on the way you ride the bike..

Looking out for a one which would impress your opposite sex or otherwise??

Do you have a budget in your mind before getting a shock of your life?? This is really important before answering the rest "Money matters most".. Also decide whether you are planning for finance options or you just happy swiping your card with huge bank balance...

Fiance options, please be careful choosing the right one

Check out whether you are planning for a used one or a brand new based. This purely depends on your personal choice...

Check out the resale value of the bike you are planning for??? Is it worth investing money on this...

People might also prefer bikes based on the make.. Hero Honda for example has had a amazing affect to the common man...

You would obviously like to take test ride and do so with all the bikes that you come across, this is absolutely free. But these test rides themselves are actually not worthy testing how good the bike is.. Once you have started your bike, the test ride ends there...

For all the fundoo guys who talk about bikes, they might be more worried about the engine parameters like engine type, displacement, compression ratio ,maximum power , torque , bore etc...

Now not but the least decide the color of your choice, try not choosing attractive colors... info from the expert : black , blue , grey have a very good resale value...

And now if you have found the answers for these, you have chosen the right one.. If you still confused, then i would say you are not worthy getting a new bike.. forget the whole thought of getting it..

Answering these lead me to just one beast on road... I found out "Honda Unicorn" would be as ideal as i thought which would exactly suite my requirements of getting a new bike.. Not but the least i would like to thank all the people who helped me choosing the right one..

Guess i left you folks gasping for all the lessons taught today.. So learn these lessons for the questions that are to pop in future... So better get educated before someone starts teaching you...

Key notes : 1 .If you are in metros try avoiding vehicles with engine displacement
more than 180cc, save fuel , save breathing space...
2. Start the green revolution.
3. Try to pool in people whenever required, less vehicle on road, solves traffic snarls.

Get "played on" by IPL - New Era of Cricket

What a hullaballoo it has been ovee the past week (sry, i stole this word from Bhogle's dictionary).Anyways lets get to the topic ,the scene around cricketing world over the past month or so has been full of drama, excitement , uproar from all section of the crowd, players, officals and list goes on...

How well have you people followed EPL , La Liga , Brazilian league and all the other leagues happening around the world. We guys pinch on to one team and really have a go, crazy supporting them irrespective of their nationality. I am a firm supporter of LiverpoolFC and it really doesnt make sense even if MBR. Gerrard is in my team or not, as long as my team is winning matches.Sounds like one really wierd , crazy fan of LiverpoolFC even after their loss to Barnsley in FA cup. Otherwise am a huge supported of Argentina during WC.

Now the stage is set for one of the biggest cricket league to do a epic beginning in our mother land. The final say is "get played on" with IPL.. So what are u guys waiting for , the green signal has been issued for IPL to start bidding their players and you start picking your best team.

Synonymous to all leagues world over, IPL also extensively follows their foot path with player contracts and franchisee which gives their fans something to cheer about. The so called Elite teams listed are,

1) Mumbai - Owner Reliances Industries ( Mukesh Ambani)
2) Kolkota - Red Chilles INternational
3) Bangalore - UB Groups ( Mr . Vijay Mallaya)
4) Chennai - Indian Cemenets
5) Mohali - Preety Zinta, Ness Wadia
6) Delhi - GMR Holdings
7) Hyderabad - DEccan Chronicle
8) Jaipur - Emerging Media

The current auction includes player contract and team franchisee.

The bid amount for each of these team were not mere numbers but more overhelming to the others bidders who took part in the race for franchisee. In the inaugural Indian Premier League (IPL) which starts from April 18, have started their process to auction overseas and native players.

Guess what's next , the IPL have come up with something special for our top players, rating them as "Icon players" and wouldnot be included in the list of auctioned players and wait!!! Wat else in the offering?? also they are payed 15% more than the higgest paid player in the team. OOOOOhhhh , Ouuuch that really sounds some big money. I guess IPL has "played you on" !!!!

Ok that ends my story for now, I would be supporting for Chennai "Super Kings" and make sure my mate in Indian dressing room be it Tendulkar who would play for Mumbai, or Dada for Kolkata, i would them out for duck and make sure Chennai runs away with the Twenty20 trophy. I would end up supporting Warne, Shoaib Akhtar to blow some big blows for Chennai if ever they happenedto be part of the Chennai team..

Its' time for you all to pick the team of your choice, not knowing whether the team has an Oz, pakistani or a Newzealender. But the very next day i would be just go the opposite by supporting Tendulkar , Dada, Dhoni when they are playing for India.
So i want you people to get "played on" by IPL and dilemma continues....

Biggest blunder by rediff.com

Phew .. WE just experienced one of the best test matches, it had everything from the start till the moment Tait was bowled by RP Singh in the Perth test at the WACA. People who were working on a Saturday would have been caught hold of cricinfo.com or cricbuzz.com, am wondering how many times the pages where refreshed,Countless i guess the counter could have stopped at some point and out of range error :-)...

But between these if someone has by chance had rediff.com on their browser , the following might have not missed their eye..



A big blunder , maybe the editor was too excited there :-)

Maam he called me a monkey !!!

Shoooo , silence please , i need pin drop silence in the class, where the words that came out of a angry teacher. Before which the following sequence took place.
Kid1(crying) : Maam, he called me a pig !!!
Maam(serious face): did you call him a pig? I will give you punishment...
kid 2: Yes maam, But he called me a monkey?
Maam: That was really bad , so both of you are punished, stand on the last beach for this period..
Other kids shouting,screaming , throwing papers, tearing note books , total chaos , noise all over the class
Maam(Shouted): Silence please children. Or else everyone of you will have to stand on the last beach ...

It was a just an augmented effort from me to relate things that was happening in the cricketing world. The OZ were correct in whatever they said and rest have to play dilly-dolly stuff.

But what could have actually happened on the field was for everyone to see, and the OZ were the masters of sledging in the modern era of cricket, earlier it was in form of bodyline by English players.

So relating this to the events that happened last week IND Vs Aus sydney cricket ground , 2nd test.

Match Referee , was in the firing line when he had to give two crucial decisions on whether to retain Mr. Bucknor for the next test and whether harbhajan has to be awarded a 3 test match ban for having him reported racially abusing symonds as "Monkey" - we depict the animal to a god and worship him in India.

But Before which the following happened,

Tendulkar & Harbhajan were batting for a real comeback and the OZ didnt want to have a tail ender wasting so much time in the middle. Lee exhausted with his fierce speed, the calmness of stuart clark didnt seem to work , the lone spinner Hogg hogging a wicket for a very long time and Bracken never had the ball to break the sticks.

So the choice was left to the fielders to do the talking , as usual someone from the slips played his part and provoked "Bhajji" and what was expected from the turbanator was nothing strange or unusual , rather he went for the Kill.

Hayden : Hey bhajji , seems that your turban is saving the day for your !!! lots of laughter in slip cordon. Umpire rejects that was a casual joke on Indians.

Breet Lee : Bowling his best for the season , fires one in 150kmph range and comes down the track and has a work with bhajji *****muted******

Bhajji : Somehow he might have got inspired from Sreesanth and tries to fire one at Lee.

Symonds : yeah you !!! getting pizzed off in the middle,i guess you are waiting to be back in the pavilion.

Bhajji : until symonds had a word everything seems to be casual , then went on the firing line.. you are a monkey !!! It could have been something else which i really doubt "M* kii" ...

Symonds : Did you call me monkey , did you really called me monkey !!!

Bhajji (poor chap) : Couldnt know what to tell, had to face all the consequences..

Symonds (reporting to Ponting) : Bhajji called me monkey on the field!!!

Ponting (to match refree): It was reported that Bhajji had racially abused symonds calling him a monkey.

And what has happened after that is left for the media and news reporters to take the center stage. Media , reporters , journalists, column writers , the worst players of the past on some News channel had made huge money because of this controversy.

So according to me both the initial set of sequences and the latter were very much similar. Contrasting is the fact that it was 2 different genre of people who were making complaints. But wats the difference ???? Absolutely childish...

why developers always slack off at work?

Just because, they don't like the work they are involved ?

Or is it just because they like to gossip about some old stupid Sidhu's one liner.
Eg: If ever Bucknor comes to Mumbai or Delhi for an hour , he says " Unka Chaddi uthardhaghe" his recent statement!!!! Or his famous one liner "That ball went so high it could have got an air hostess down with it. ? Please click hereto enjoy more of them.

Maybe there was some hot female who played against Khan's in some Bollywood movie? I would rather prefer to talk about Kollywood :-)

But the ultimately thing that separates the above list is. Check out
