Mumbai Autocar Performance Show

Modified Version of Toyota Corolla


Attended the Mumbai Autocar Performance Show 2011 at Bandra Kurla Complex. The cars in there were amazing. Even though I don’t have much idea about cars, there were some cars which I just loved. Cars like Audi and Mercedes have always been the most desired and loved ones by people but today I saw something different and new at the Expo !

There was this sexy car which was a modified version of Toyota Corolla!! If you look at the car it looked more like a Ferrari. Apart from this car there were BMW’S, Range Rover’s, Jaguar , Nissan’s 370z! Aah, Wish I can own one of them someday .

Bigg Boss 5 & Sunny Leone!



Suddenly Sunny Leone has grabbed all the attention on all the Social Networking Websites. She’s been trending on micro blogging site Twitter, her videos are being uploaded on youtube every now and then. Not only that, the most famous person on Twitter KRK has now shifted his focus from Miss Asin to Sunny Leone.

Sunny Leone as she rightly calls herself the Adult Movie Star is the new contestant in the Bigg Boss 5 House. If she’s just a guest like our Big Boss 4 contestant Pamela Anderson is yet to be known. People have been writing how a channel could stoop to such levels to rope in an Adult Movie Star to increase their TRP’S. Isn’t that what every channel wants ? TRP’S? Even if she wasn’t an adult movie star, she for sure is gorgeous and I’m sure many people would have still watched the show just for her beauty!

Im definitely sure people who are writing all this are the first ones to go and watch Bigg Boss now. KRK is now dreaming about Sunny Leone and of getting married to her , Asin must be breathing a sigh of relief now. Every night KRK used to tweet about Asin and now its Sunny Leone.

This is going to be the first time an Adult Movie star is going to appear on an Indian Television. The audience for sure is going to be glued to the television. Everyone is so curious to know whats going to happen in the Bigg Boss House. Pooja Mishra has done her best to entertain us with her fights and her behaviour. I just can’t stop laughing when I recall the November 14th Episode when there was an altercation between Siddharth and Pooja Mishra .

All the Social Networking websites have been sharing videos and tweeting about Sunny Leone now Lets see how Sunny Leone is going to add more spice to the reality show .

Services offered by Online Shopping Portals

Lately i have been buying most of my stuff online, be it a book, perfume or a vodafone recharge.

I have used these 3 websites till now : -

Fashion and You
Homeshop18
Flipkart

Out of the above 3 , I always preferred Fashion and You cos in terms of the looks and feel it gives & makes you feel more like a Niche customer. The website is designed in a very systematic way and looks great but there are lot of technical problems they face. Whenever they have a lot of schemes up on their website all at once their server crashes. This is one of the negative aspect of the website. It however has good offers which come up everyday at 11 am which stay for a couple of hours or days - it depends from brand to brand. However the website ships your order in about 2-3 weeks time so you have to wait for your order, but mostly they deliver your order within 2 weeks time or even 10-12 days. After ordering you can keep a track of your order on the website.You are sent an invoice via email and your tracking number is also given along with it, you also recieve an sms stating your ordered transaction number & order amount. The order as and when shipped is informed via email and sms. The ordered item is neatly packed and is in a great condition, therefore you are satisfied with the purchase.

Homeshop18 on the other hand is a pretty simple website, it does work on the look but Fashion and You still is way better in looks and usability. Homeshop18 does not have people endorsing the brands in the pictures and it has limited brands which it offers on the website, Fashion and You caters to the middle and upper middle class however Homeshop18 caters to the masses. The delivery time taken by Homeshop18 is said to be 7-8 days but when i ordered a book from the website the delivery was done almost after 2 weeks, which was very disappointing, the packaging was somewhat ok but after the order they did not send any tracking number. This was not a very good experience i had. Therefore, i would avoid ordering from Homeshop18 as much as possible.

Flipkart.com, the website which has been advertising on the Television lately does live upto the promises it does.It has a simple yet cool website. I ordered a book online on flipkart.com yesterday, it said that the order would be delivered within 3 business working days and i already had the order delivered today. After ordering, an email was sent to me along with an SMS stating the order confirmation and the amount of the order. Apart from the SMS and email which i recieved just after ordering, i also recieved an email stating the order has been shipped and will be delivered as soon as possible and a tracking number was also given. The ordered item was neatly packed and delivered in very good condition. Within 2 hours of the order being delivered the website again sent an email as well as sms stating the successful delivery of the order.

I really feel that Flipkart.com is being very proactive and delivering as per their promise, i hope other websites also start working like flipkart. One of the best thing about fashion and you is that they have this digital signature machine which they use when they deliver an order. These 2 websites are sure on my top list for buying stuff online next time. If you know of any website recommendations are more than welcome Ciao!

The Fall

Yesterday was supposed to be the biggest day of my life, I worked so hard for it and even after almost winning I still lost. I read this poem somewhere and I’d like to share it with everyone out there because when I was all low last night this poem just made me realize that there will be many such instances in life and there will be a lot of people to try to bring you down but its only you who can hold and keep yourself going and try and get there


Don't Quit


When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

--Edgar A. Guest


The truth about certain personalities just comes out instantly, I just wish I can hold on and fight till the end and achieve what I want and love the most!
