Test Ride: Aveo

GM back in biz!!

After Optra they are here with Aveo in Chevorlot kitty.

The outer look and feel is good, with mid-segment touch.

The leg space is good both in front and rear and the dashboard is jazzy.

The inner holds a sporty look and interiors along with MP3 player and AC flaps looks attractive.

Now the ride:
I tested 1.4L LS variant and the pick up was good .I could not try 0-100 kmph due to rush hour time around 5 in delhi..Even though I was oon ring road,I cud do 0-80 and that took me around 10 secs. So 12 should be for 0-100.The cut is smooth and the needles are in straight line of drivers eye,so less of diversion while driving.

AC seemed effective and engine noise was almost absent.

The gear head is traditional one,they say GM provides like one though I didnt liked it,I did not found shifting of gears that smooth and here i remembered Maruti Swift which has far better gear than this US car.
The car overall can be rated as a good car though I would be finding myself little reluctant moving it to great category.
I would definately reccomend it to young people who are looking for combo of power and comfort in mid-segment. A good car to drive in city and they claim an average mileage of 14kmpl in city.Sounds good.

Now the price:
1.4L LS will cost you around 6.4L on road in delhi.
If you want to avail loan,I can even give you rough costing.
With a down payment of around 1.6L, it wil cost Rs.11500 as EMI for 5 years.

With the current costing and features ,it is a worth buy and it definately leaves its competitor like Ford Fiesta,Accent behind.

With GM stopping sales of Corsa in India ,Aveo sales looks optimistic. The near competitor is going be Verna ,which Hyundai is launching soon,depnds on the car.

Uttranchal....The foot of Himalayas

Uttranchal, UP hills as we all know them is beautiful valley in lap of river Ganges.

If one want to run away from scorching heat in capital,Rishikesh and nearby areas are the place to be.
My recent trip to rishikesh was definately an interesting one,with my mood being adventurous.
Reason, I had just booked myself a 3 day camp at rishkesh at bank of ganges.
The topsy curvy roadway takes about 40mins drive from haridwar to take you Shivpuri,where most of base camps are there.
Rafting is a great experience and jumping into flowing cold river is one thrilling experience..I was not feeling to come out...I m still feel the excitement thinking about it..
Then camping,bornfire and being little lucky like us to have landed on moonlite nite,the experience itself is great.
Morning beach volleyball was great though we lost the game by 3-2..

Kayaking again is fun though i found myself swiming in water seconds after i started,since i cudnt figuered out the funda of controlling it...and its funny but I was again swimming minutes after I tried seond time...LoL!!

The whole night dancing and leg pulling to some sleep riverside was gud.
Boozer Club people got more fun by getting their drinks and bottles chillied by making them immersed in cold flowing ganges water fr an hour..Now You got why Indian are so innovative or say JUDAG!!

Way back,we stopped at haridwar and a trip to Mansa devi by ropeway....
Ganga Aarti in evening in yet another show to watch.

Then ,next morning I found myself heading to hot plain of our saddi dilli....and believe me my ppleasant trip also ended like my current blog...

Indian Telecom MNCs

Heard about Indian IT MNCs....well anybody can tell atleast two, TCS and Infosys.

Heard about Indian MNCs in telecom..Don't be surprised,it will exist soon.

Bharti Global is going to start operations in Jersey ,Europe soon with plans to roll out network by October this year( source: CNBC-TV18)

This seems to be new page in history of Indian telecom.So far, Indian telecom market has been making news as fastest growing market and foreign operators lining up to get that cream here.
And now,with Indian operators expanding there network abroad ,Indian telecom is adding a new chapter again.
Recently, Sunil Mittal was in news with his remarks on FDI policy,where he expressed that management should be allowed to have foreign people on board like it is allowed in other countries like our Arun Sarin ,nw CEO of vodaphone.
Well, My point here is that telecom is a senstitive area in terms of security and with our motherland surrouned by enviuos and jealous enemy contry,govt is doing a good role by playing at its own terms in FDI.
Also,the primary interest of foreign operators is not governing the policies here of the market but to make money and that is why they are here. As for putting their stand and viewpoint for their benefit in market,they always have Indian representative to proposal ahead.
India, as a market is different from other countires, therefore this policy should also add on to the difference....For a change maybe!!!!!
With globalisation showing it signs in telecom too, I am sure Indian operators starting their operations across the world will definately change the rule of the game once more.
