Find out on this wonderful website Breathing Earth which is a visual, real-time simulation of the birth rates, death rates and CO2 emission rates of every country in the world. Take your mouse over any country and you will find the details about birth rates, death rates & CO2 emission rates.

The worrying part is that India has one of the worst rates in all of the three.

Yesterday while coming back from office I saw one very trendy car, somehow just managed to get a quick look and recognize the Chevrolet’s logo. Searched the net to find about the model and was quite surprised to find out that the car was Chevrolet’s SRV which has been launched in July and I did not know about it as I have not seen/heard about it earlier. There seems to no advertising at all, neither in newspapers or TV/FM or may be I missed it. Whatever the case maybe it looks absolutely amazing and gives a very sporty look. The spoiler at the back makes it even more trendy.

Touted as India’s first premium Sports back, the five-door SRV is said to combine modern Italian design, a number of standard features and roomy interior. Primarily targeted at young professionals, who are getting more and more attracted to design-oriented products. The SRV is a global product sold across Europe, North America, Canada and Asian markets that has been re-engineered for India based on extensive testing across the country to meet the specific needs of our customers as well as local driving conditions.

The vehicle is priced at Rs.6.97 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi) and 7.51 lakhs with some added features which makes it qute an expensive considering the size of the car.

I found this video on Sakshi’s blog and it is so hilarious that I could not stop laughing even after the video had finished. Make sure you have speakers on when you play this.

Seeing this I recollect one of my uncles who used to dance in a very similar way during weddings in front of ghodi. This one is different as the man is wearing a lungi that makes it more interesting while my uncle usually was in suits.
Enjoy…

For last few days I have been looking for a service online from where I can get prints of photographs taken from my digital camera. I found two services MeraSnap.com and PhotoBaaz.com. Both services require mandatory registration that gives an access to an online account wherein a user can upload his/her photographs and then order for prints from there.

MeraSnap just offers printing of 4×6 size photographs at the moment but have a much better pricing than PhotoBaaz. Below is the comparision that I have been able figure out without going through the registration process.

Finally after making the comparision my choice would MeraSnap.com for getting 4×6 prints as they offer no non-sense straight away service without having to offer too many frills which does not make sense to me when I am looking for a cheap and best service that can help me get good digital prints while ordering with a click of my mouse.

Though PhotoBaaz.com offers some good add-ons like unlimited storage and options of getting prints on mugs, mousepads, greeting cards which can also be useful when looking to send gifts to someone.

The choice is wide open depending upon what service one requires. Do let me know if you know of any other good service offering digital prints.

International Cars & Motors Limited (ICML), is a group company of Sonalika Group who are better known for manufacturing tractors has manufactured MUV with the name of RHINO & is currently using Japanese Isuzu engine. The MUV seems pretty attractive by the looks of it and is powered by Isuzu engine which makes it an interesting option since Toyota has stopped manufacturing their successful Qualis to pave for their next generation model that is Innova which has failed to some extent if compared with the success Qualis had. Tata’s Victa is not at all comfortable. The other options that are doing quite well in the same segment are Mahindra’s Scorpio and Chevrolet’s Tavera.

The two-litre multi-utility vehicle ‘Rhino’ has an entry-price of Rs 5.45 lakh.The other two models of the vehicle are priced at Rs 5.95 lakh and Rs 6.85 lakh respectively. It seems a good deal but there has not been any advertising and ICML seems lacking in strong dealership network.
