Best Scooters in India

The Piaggio Vespa is one of the best scooters in India today. However its price of Rs. 78,300/- (on-road, Mumbai) makes it really very expensive. The Vespa is unlike any other scooter available in the market, it looks unique and extremely attractive. The Vespa LX125 is powered by a 124cc, 4-stroke engine which has 3-valves. This motor produces 10.06 PS of power and 10.6 Nm of torque, giving it stellar performance. The mileage is also one of the best and one can expect 50 km/l in normal riding conditions. Suzuki's Swish is nothing but the Access scooter in a new avatar. The Swish is 5 kgs lighter and is slightly taller than the Access. The Access has been a runaway success and there is no reason why the Swish shouldn't be. The Suzuki Swish is powered by a 124cc engine which produces 8.58 BHP and 9.8 Nm. The scooter is quick and offers a mileage of 45 km/l in the city. The telescopic forks give it a good ride quality. The Swish is priced at Rs. 56,000/-

Renault Scala Road test and review

You've probably heard that the Renault Scala is a rebadged Nissan Sunny. Yes, it is. The French carmaker hasn't had budget-busting development costs to roll out their fifth car in fifteen months as it's a Sunny in disguise. But hey, look again — although it looks familiar, Renault has thrown in some smart design cues to make it a unique product. Let's go into detail. Design Up front, the Renault Scala looks much better than the Sunny. The large hexagonal grille with chrome-plated bars and Fluence-inspired headlamps stay true to the 'lozenge' logo. The Sunny roots are more obvious in profile, however, the Scala gets trendy alloy wheels and chrome beading around the glasshouse. There's a decent amount of Renault-isation at the rear, too. The tail lights are of the same shape but have a different design. The white strips on the tail lights join a large chrome garnish across the boot lid. As we saw on the Duster, the name 'SCALA' is embos

"It has clearly been a tough decision to make, but I believe that it is both in the best interests of the England cricket team and myself to step down at this stage," the 35-year-old, who played exactly 100 Tests, added. "The driver to all this is I haven't batted well enough for a long time. I wasn't going to improve batting-wise, I've run my race," Strauss later told the news conference. "It's one of the

Facebook's Amazing New Campus

Facebook ( FB ) already has 2,000 employees at its headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif. But it's preparing for a major expansion. Eventually, its current location—the East Campus—will hold 6,600 employees. Another 2,800 will occupy a second site, the West Campus, across the Bayfront Expressway.   Facebook has hired Frank Gehry's architecture firm, Gehry Partners, to design a new, sprawling office building which will house those engineers in a big, open space, with walls cleverly angled so the insides don't feel oppressive. Here are some models and drawings which give an idea of Facebook's new home.  

Neil Armstrong dead at 82

U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong , who took a giant leap for mankind when he became the first person to walk on the moon, has died at the age of 82, his family said on Saturday. Armstrong died following complications from heart-bypass surgery he underwent earlier this month, the family said in a statement, just two days after his birthday on August 5. As commander of the Apollo 11 mission, Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969. As he stepped on the dusty surface, Armstrong said: "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind." Those words endure as one of the best known quotes in the English language. The Apollo 11 astronauts' euphoric moonwalk provided Americans with a sense of achievement in the space race with Cold War foe the Soviet Union and while Washington was engaged in a bloody war with the communists in Vietnam.

India vs New Zealand testmatch Live cricket

Hyderabad: A reality check awaits Team India as it gears up to begin life without the famed batting duo of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman when they take on a lowly New Zealand in the first Test of the two-match series starting here from Thursday. Welcome one and all to the first Test between India and New Zealand from Hyderabad.

Ek Tha Tiger

Ek Tha Tiger review Cast: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ranvir Shorey, Girish Karnad, Roshan Seth Directed by Kabir Khan Rating: * Ek Tha Jackie Shroff. And then he had a son. But this one belongs to the genre mastered by Jackie Chan and plastered with superhuman stunts by Salman Khan: action comedy mashed up with a spy thriller. If you thought Agent Vinod ( read review ) made a Ronald McDonald out of the genre, Ek Tha Tiger (ETT) takes a mousey tail and sticks it up his nose for Salman to swing from ear to ear. Regardless, if you've followed Salman's recent films, you know that they're in a genre of their own and cannot be graded for the story, screenplay, performances or any other metric used to evaluate other films. They can just be enjoyed or suffered , depending upon the elasticity of your tolerance. Enemy spies materialising from every nook and cranny are smashed shapeless by our indestructible RAW agent Tiger (Salman Khan). Tiger's only grouse: no time
