Rays of sunlight were playing hide and seek as it tried to pass through the plants on my window sill trying to peep into my bed room .It was 6.00 a.m in the morning and I was awake unusually early today .No projects , No assignments and No exams ..wow..it sounded cool and kept me fresh like a lemon .

Summer has officially started with heat wave building up as Agni Nakshatra ( Kathiri Veyyil) as usual on April in my home town , Pondicherry.With the ongoing heat that will last till June, frequent current cut-offs and rolling sweats on foreheads warning my body to rehydrate more , the health conscious "me" always equipped my refrigerator with lots of summer fruits like water melon ,oranges, lemons, mango, grapes and curds. But with summer holidays on start (hurray!!) and lots of excitement for parks, Tours and get-together, there is more work outdoors than indoors.

Tring... Tring.... Tring

My mobile phone rang with my favourite tune of 2012 " Azhage Azhage - Oru Kal Oru Kannadi".As I  answered my call , I heard a  very lively voice on the other end of the line .

"Hiya...did you check up your Indiblogger account.You have got a date with  Lakmé  super-model "KYRA" , I heard  my best friend sounding excited .

I rushed to open my account , read  "How would you live up this Summer with Kyra" and was astounded by the truth .Moreover, it made me restless thinking of ideas and places of how to entertain this DIVA . 

Time was running fast and the day came I stood face to face with this super model named "Kyra".Kyra stood all dressed up for summer , full of bright yellow colour.I tried to compliment her with my flower -tops and jeans .

"Hiya...Nice having you my guest today" I replied her with all my shyness (I'm reserved type ya) and introduced myself to her. Kyra was very outgoing on the other hand , an extreme extrovert and a very lively person.

All through my mind , I was filled with the idea of taking her a for long ride with a topless (I guess ..I have the right word here) Red Contessa that would freak out anyone on the highway but I politely asked her to accompany me in my Two -Wheeler Ladies scooter .

Ah! Kyra was more than ready to join me on the new experience of riding on a scooter than she does in her usual car.She was even more prepared to face the sun being the  Lakmé  girl with her new Lakme Sun Expert which has Tan Protection Index 70 (TPI 70) to prevent tanning and block out harmful rays and is specially formulated for Indian skin that tans easily and helped me to do the same before we took off.I was assigned the work of taking her to a place where the summer can be enjoyed and have fun. And what more exciting would this task be in a place like Pondicherry , whose coast line is the Bay of Bengal Beach itself.

Paradise Beach , Pondicherry

The Beach Harbour -a view from other side of the road

Beach & Gandhi statue view from Cafe lounge

Having born and brought up in Pondicherry, I have known this beach to be the best , impressive place to stroll and have a great time to watch the waves.The breathtaking vision of the gleaming waters under the morning sun brought liveliness and radiance to the beach.Adding to it were the architectural buildings and monuments that stood facing the sea .I told Kyra all about the French rule , how the French got attracted to the Pondy and set it as their home and also about the historical French architecture that separates itself from the rest of Pondy.We took photograph under the 4.25 meters Ganthi statue that stood majestic gaurded by eight exquisitely carved monolithic pillars brought here from Gingee and erected in 1866.I even told Kyra about a secret behind the Gandhi statue (which was told to me by my father), which still many Pondicherrians aren't aware of.There was once a tunnel below the Gandhi statue that leads all the way to the Gingee through which these pillars made by a single stone was transported to Pondy .But failing to resurrect it after few suffocation and deaths , the Government finally closed it for good.

We then shopped for hand-made crafts made by using sea-shells from the shore from Four-squares that stood lining near the Gandhi statue. Kyra loved the chains, and toys made from seashells and embellished herself with them.I took her to the beach-side cafe  lounge where we had the best cafe just overlooking the Beach.She just loved the cold drinks served there.

Then, I took her to another spot a little outside of Pondicherry with a few miles ride away from Paradise Beach .

 The Serene Beach, Pondicherry

Exotic pass-time under the golden sands

Having a dip under the shallow waters of serene beach, Pondy

Beach under the Summer Sun

And it stands up to its name.Away from honking vehicles and active city , it is the most serene place that stretch itself all along the coast with golden sands having little secrets of hidden sea shells that lures people to experiment with its possessions.Kyra loved to dip herself into the water and this beach served the right spot for her.We indulged ourselves in various activities like swimming , boating, canoeing , etc that is been served as a Tourist attraction .Kyra loved her cruising and was amazed to see one or two dolphins now and then.Then , Kyra and I  played Volleyball at the beach with some friends who joined us later in the fun.We made sand castles (sounds good for kids pass-time) and also made patterns with our hands and legs on the fine beach sand.

It was a perfect place and day for sunbathing and swimming with a perfect partner in place.Kyra had a great time sunbathing as she always knew she is always protected by her Lakmé sun expert Lotion.I was very much relived of escaping the summer sun with such a lively company who enjoys splashing waters everywhere and and who knows what is to be to stay protected from the summer sun.We then brought tender coconuts that were sold on the beach side and sat on the sand chatting and drinking as we admired the Reddish Orange sparkles of the setting sun.

"Summer", I thought , "it can' t be avoided but still can be made wonderful if only we have the right attitude to make it enjoyable".The Sun rays that peeped through my window sill in the morning now succumbed into the oceans slowly as we neared the end of the day.

Kyra and I parted with a heavy heart and this day with the summer girl took a special place on my diary having the best time under the spell of waters on the bright sunny day.Before parting she gave me a gift hamper , a Lakme Sun Expert Skin range for making my best days under the summer sun in return for making her best in this trip.And finally I blew kisses to my native town Pondicherry  for it had saved my day with its exotic beach location .

The above is my entry to the topic "How would I spend time with Kyra this summer" by  Lakmé  Diva Blogger Contest and Indiblogger.

Zoozoo - a born genius ,young and  bubbly boy would make any head turn , not because of his looks but because of the mischievous things he does. If Wayne Szalinski of "Honey , I shrunk the kids" ever had met Zoozoo ,he wouldn't have been worried about his shrunken kids.As mischievous as Zoozoo could be , he was the Master of his own virtual world , exploring the adventurous possibility to survive through the possession of his 3G Mobile Phone.He made cart of friends through chatting and tweeting on his mobile phone but none would be compared to his new found friend Tootoo. Tootoo was girl bubbling with beauty and loves to be  fascinated by the out of the box experiences .And that's why everyone could spot her with an Ipod on her jacket with her ears always plugged.She believes that  her Musical therapy was making her beauty glow and so she cuddles herself up in the voices of the Akons, Rihanna and the Cosmic Bros .The same frequency of thoughts between Zoozoo and Tootoo paved way to their friendship which made them the talk of the town.

The above Introduction part would make you wonder what I am up to now.To come out with an interesting story, someone or something should inspire us to make it possible.This story was born as a part of Internet is Fun [ www.vodafone.in/fun] using the famous figure Zoozoo of Vodafone in respect with Indiblogger network.The One-Line of this Story is "The Possibilities of Internet to survive an attack".So if you are going to read more, make sure you are going to have a hell lot of FUN here with INTERNET.

Zoozoo and Tootoo was the best of friends now.They always walk together while going home except that Zoozoo keeps his face cross.(you should wonder why here).The reason being Tootoo was no ordinary girl who chit-chats while walking.She was a way different with her identity "Always On Air".That day was no different either which made Zoozoo sick because he couldn't convey his new highest score ever achieved in Angry Birds with her.As they neared the thick bush on their way , Zoozoo couldn't control his excitement and temper.

"Tootoo, for God's sake can you just take off your ear phone at least for time we were together? " , Zoozoo asked impatiently

Tootoo noted his disappointment yet didn't give up . She in turn replied him in negative with a funny smile.
"How could you ask it Zoozoo ? I am just being ME " she scowled back.
" Arr.. ammmm...mm" , Zoozoo moaned in disappointed again.

"Oh! Come on Zoozoo, this is Important." she stressed the last word ."The Cosmic Hero's new Music album is out.And I am having fun with it.Wanna join me ... " as she asked ,she took one ear plug from her ear and handled it over to Zoozoo.

Just then it happened,

Two slender men , Midgets - the height till your hips , dressed in black cloak snatched Tootoo away into the thick green bush. Zoozoo was terrified. 'Yuck! they smell like fish' he thought. He tried to push himself through the bush on an impulse to save Tootoo but before he could do it, the two men unmasked themselves carrying Tootoo away. 

"What the hell they are ..err..like Pygmies..Strange" Zoozoo thought.As he was looking out for some help, 

Zoozoo noticed something strange on their back.'It looks like a Zebra stripes...', he thought again.

A Bulb glowed on his head.Tada Oh! It's a CODE. Zoozoo did not waste time.He quickly took out his mobile phone and scanned the codes using Barcode scanner app on his Mobile phone. Now, Zoozoo was left with a strange link on his phone.

" www.xxxyyy666.co.mars "

He browsed the link which took him to a website he never heard of. The Title of the page looked even more puzzling to him 

"Final Specimens code 666" - Project Red  

Before he could proceed further, he heard a sudden slush and hush sound zooming over the sky above his head.Zoozoo took a deep breath and thinking of Tootoo, he browsed further using Google search engine on his Mobile .The Internet geek in him began to respond  to his quick thinking act.

He soon found that the code belonged to the aliens (pygmies) from Mars, the red planet.The .mars on the website link above served as a solid proof to him. And he was sure that those two Pygmies have kidnapped Tootoo in order to make her as their final specimen for something called ' Project Red'.

But what the hell is Project  Red and  how was he going to save Tootoo ?

He is now left with two choices.One , he has to panic and tell the world about what has happened .But who in the world would ever believe him of the stories of Aliens from Mars kidnapping Tootoo.Full stop.

The other choice was to find Tootoo himself .His only weapon now is his Internet enabled -Mobile Phone

Zoozoo was all set to find out the truth.All he was left was his mobile phone and few biscuits .But wait, his mobile phone is now running out of battery.

Well, thanks to an interesting and useful solar charger app that he downloaded from Internet.He used solar power to charge the phone.And when the sun is absent, his physics and maths ability came for help.He shook his phone vigorously from left to right and using the Kinetic energy , he charged his phone. Anyway, he did not run out of battery any time , any day .

"Now My mobile is now all in one equipment that I need to feed my brain to find Tootoo and the biscuits to feed my stomach.I'm all set to work" he thought.

First, using the scanned code from the pygmies , he hacked their .mars websites and traced the IP address of their spacecraft which they use to contact other pygmies and their plane.Then, Zoozoo registered  the IP address on the Geometric locations of the Google Earth and began to track the alien kidnappers whereabouts using Google Map.

Zoozoo noted that the spacecraft headed towards North west of Mumbai and landed on a particular spot."I have to use the Navigation app to find the optimal distance to reach Mumbai from Chennai.(oops!! That's where I am now )" thought Zoozoo.

Zoozoo booked an Airline ticket using his Mobile phone and using online transaction .Using the ticket, he flew towards Mumbai [there are no Airplanes in Zoozoo's world.He used the ticket as his entry slip to another country and Zoozoo knows how to fly ].Finally he reached Mumbai Gate.

The map on is Mobile pointed towards the Ajantha caves .It is where 'it' has landed. It is now very important  how Zoozoo takes his further steps .He hid himself behind the caves few miles from the spacecraft watching the alien pygmies taking Tootoo away .On Impulse, he took his mobile phone again.Using Instagram, he pictured the scene as it is and posted the emergency situation through Face Book and Twitter.They became Viral in seconds.The message passed quickly all around the globe even to the NASA office and  everything  that happened afterwards were flash news.

The NAVY, MILTARY and AIR-FORCE joined arms with NASA and surrounded the cave.Zoozoo along with them got hold of the two pygmies.The enquiry that followed revealed that the two pygmies were the heads of the Project Red and they caught Tootoo through her Cosmic signal (hell with that album she heard then) which  lead to the overall situation now.Making her the final specimen and completing the Project Red would accomplish of the Alien pygmies getting in control over the Humans on the Earth .That is, through making Humanoids by genetically modifying human genes ,they would make Humans to serve the Alien pygmies.Now , saving Tootoo was indirectly ending the Project and thus saving Human kinds from genetic mutation.

As everything was about to have an happy end , another disaster was waiting to happen again .

The two Alien pygmies were not alone.More Airships were seen on the sky and more pygmies appeared from no where.The Military, Air-force,Navy, NASA and the others on EARTH were now ready for a WAR. THE ALIEN WAR.The WAR that would claim to be more destructible and also unavoidable.


As everything was getting serious , Zoozoo's mobile phone rang with a peep.One of the Alien pygmies beside Tootoo was so curious that he snatched the mobile phone from Zoozoo and saw it.It was a link of a song from Ra-One's "Chamak Chalo[click the Red link for the song]from Twitter .The Alien pygmy clicked it and the song went on with full tune on air.

Everything, every noise stopped for a moment.There were silence everywhere except for the song.

Suddenly, something strange happened .Few pygmies had their face brightened up and few also started to dance to the tune.Many alien pygmies joined in slowly .The Alien pygmy never heard of such a beautiful sound with live video streaming other than the cosmic sound from the Spaceship in their lifetime.They were surprised , astounded.All the sound they knew were the space ships sounds and cosmic sounds that appears to be a ceaseless hums in the air.But, now what they hear is something very different and awesome.And that too it came from the miniature equipment called Mobile phone.They got the mobile phone from Zoozoo and felt it.They saw the home screen photo of little Zoozoo smiling and cuddling with his family.They then researched his Phone size and its GB storage ,Zoozoo's Games score on the Internet, his Face book friend lists and his tweets in thousands ...They were left speechless.

They never knew such an equipment existed and  had one either.They were interested in knowing more .

Soon, a Treaty was signed.
Zoozoo was chosen to teach the Alien pygmies about the use of Internet in the Mobile Phone .The  Alien pygmies in turn spared the Earth .

Zoozoo socialised again " The WAR status now turned to CELEBRATION status " with a combo photo of him with the  Alien pygmies .Zoozoo was the Star overnight. Zoozoo taught the aliens and their kids on how to survive using Internet through Video Conferencing that was build between the two planets, Earth and Mars.

Everything that followed was a sweet miracle.Without his Internet enabled Mobile Phone this couldn't have been possible. 

Zoozoo has finally saved the World from the Aliens.

This is my second entry for " Internet is Fun " on Vodafone Contest .My first entry to the same contributes a Rhyming poem and How I spend my day with my Mobile Phone ,read - " Internet is always Fun" for my first entry .

Times of India , Indian Express and The Hindu , almost all Newspaper always tend to have its front page with these letters enlarged.

24th June 2011- Diesel price hiked by Rs 3...

15th May 2011- Steepest Petrol price hike in by Rs 5...

For a middle class family, the soaring  rise in the price of Gold,Gasoline and Foods diminish the  lives and the peace of the family.Even today, the condition is same.We can't live without the above said items in India and the price rise is something we can't change .

Sky Rocketing Fuel Prices

According to 2011 report ,the fuel prices has risen from Rs.50 per litre to Rs.56 per litre in a span of two years.The price increases were needed due to rising global crude oil prices.

IN PONDICHERRY , INDIA

Petrol Price 61.83 per Rs/Ltr Most Recent price change date: Friday, July 01, 2011 61.51 per Rs/Ltr Historical price change date: Sunday, May 15, 2011  56.62 per Ltr Historical price change date: Sunday, January 16, 2011

Diesel Price 42.65 per Rs/Ltr Most Recent price change date: Friday, July 01, 2011  42.47 per Ltr Historical price change date: Friday, June 24, 2011  39.98 per Ltr Historical price change date: Tuesday, November 02, 2010

“Change, a magic world which brought Barack Obama to power in America should be the life-long mantra for the middle class people in the world of rising prices .That is, bringing the Change in our lifestyle.

What Change would possibly help ?We use fuel for cooking , traveling and sometimes for electricity for a common household .Moreover, fuels are used to power all vehicles traveling on road and air transport.It is the bloodline of our Transport system.Whatever fuels we use be it a Petroleum, Natural Gas, Hydrogen Fuel, Vegetable Oil or any other Fossil Fuel, we got to face the black truth that they are going to expensive with each year

Changes to beat rising fuel prices

• Change the way of how you Travel  : Use Public Transport if you are a frequent traveler to a particular place .We can see many people travel in a car alone.Imagine how many money and environment damage could be saved if he choose to travel on an alternative option.
• Change the Tyre of your car when needed : The care with the best quality Tyres.Yes, more often ,say after a period of year or so , you can see that your car has run so many miles and needs a Tyre change.How often do people change it?. So Car maintenance is also a important point to be taken.
• Change your Car : Research and buy a quality car that meets your fuel requirements.Car engines upgrade and new technology is being introduced for better drivings.From the tables above you can see that the Multijet diesel engine car provides more fuel efficiency .

Sharan asked his father for a new car .His father, an ordinary Government officer looked at his son who is on the verge on finishing his MBA studies.


'"What happened to your old car ?I think it is still in full form" said his father.He knew that Sharan  does'n t talk much to him expect for asking things.And even today this conversation is for the same.


"Yes,in full and old fashined form .But I can't use it more often because I have to shell out all my part-time money over it.Only on it . I had put petrol for Rs.1000 filling up to four fuel points for travelling 200 kms and now the fuel point has come to one again.Imagine how the car drinks the petrol! " Sharan replied with a sigh.


Sharon's father saw his son anguishment.He asked his son" Okay tell me son,you are in the bussiness field.What car do you think is suitable for our family?All this old man knew is that the fuel prices are increasing. Also remember your father is not holding much money at hand. " he carefully chose his words.


Being asked his suggestion ,Sharon felt himself very important.He has always been tagged as a spoiled kid .He wanted to take this chance to prove his father that he has transformed himself into a better person.He tried to gather all information he knew about cars.


Sharon said ," Dad,  Fiat cars are proven to be more economical as well as best cars in India". He showed his father of what he had collected as Table.

Technology of Petrol and Diesel Engine in a Nutshell

Sharon said ," See dad, my calculation is that with continuous rise in fuel prices we have two choices one we can adopt for Fiat Diesel car  which will prove more economical in the long run and the other to buy a petrol car and then upgrade them if needed .

Grande Punto and Fiat Linea proves to be more fuel efficient according to their chart. Also if we book them now, we get a chance to Fiat -Upgarde offer.With this offer we can freely upgrade the petrol car to Multijet diesel car along with an one year free fuel vocheur , Insurance choice and more"

Petrol Linea Active Linea Dynamic Linea Emotion Linea Emotion Pk 663408 690894 758083 789641 Diesel Linea Active Linea Dynamic Linea Emotion Linea Emotion Pk 761137 791677 838505 895515

Petrol Punto 1.2 Active Punto 1.2 Dynamic Punto 1.2 Emotion Punto 1.4 Emotion Punto 1.4 Emotion Pk 441244 472804 504361 556280 616343 Diesel Punto Active Punto Dynamic Punto Emotion Punto Emotion Pk Punto 90HP Emotion Pk 528794 563407 607180 664190 698952

Sharon continued ," Dad, you can see from the above chart that the cost of the Diesel Engine Car is higher than the Petrol Engine. But still Diesel cars are more economical since they give better mileage and good performance.Let me show some reviews that I have browsed. Look at them .And the final choice is yours ."

Reviews of Petrol Versus Diesel Cars (Click to enlarge picture):

Sharon father was surprised to see his young son speaking like a professional .The once spoiled one now turned into a literate man who knows how to convince his father with his better approach. why not? He is a MBA.He looked at his son with pride.And he liked this Change in him.


Finally Sharon and his father concluded on the Fiat Punto Emotion Multijet Deisel Engine.


His father chuckled ," Well , after a few years you don't need to get another new car for yourself or for my grand-son saying the reason of rising fuel prices . This Multijet engine will prove to be more of a money saver in the longer run and as well as give the feel of a bigger car with better performance at the cost six lakhs."


Sharon could'nt help liking his father. He was still the same .

Saint John Boys School , Standard 11 th.

July 25, 2006 - Mumbai

The morning Mumbai showers welcomed the students to school as it usually would do on the month of July.The school was in its best look of socializing with each one buzzing around with their friends .They talked about the ongoing IPL match, the skipped morning breakfast and the traffic jam by the office goers cars , public and private bus ,etc that became a part of their life in the Monsoon seasons  . 

The students noise suddenly stopped as soon as professor Gunalan entered the classroom.He is one professor that the students respect so much for his conducting nature with others.His teaching too different.Unlike other professors he teaches his student asking them more questions and debating along with them.This day was no different .He was teaching about the means of transport his students.

Prof.Gunalan : Dear students, we know that there are many means of transport and the most common use of transport is the Road transport .It can be done by a car,a lorry,a bus ,a bike or a scooter. Occasionally we can see few cycles and walk by foot here and there.Now , can anyone tell me what type of road transport you use to come to school? . Raj ,you start first .

RAJ: Sir, my dad uses his car to pick and drop me at school .Sometimes I use the public transport when he is not available.

Prof.Gunalan : Good.Can you tell me how does your car or the public bus run?

RAJ: They run because of the Diesel in the bus and the Petrol in the car , sir .

Prof:Gunalan: Yes , obviously but sometimes we even use diesel car which is economical. I use one too.

Hearing this the class roared.For many of the students , this is news .Prof.Guna hearing the roar continued,"

Okay , now here is my question to the whole class.Your assignment for tomorrow will be on the topic which is better petrol or diesel ?.Now I need you to form into two groups ,one supporting the petrol and the other diesel.

The class dispersed.

As usual Raj rival Sam opted for Petrol getting his supporters to vote on his favour.Raj took to debate defending the Diesel.As he was forming a group with is supporters on his new assignment , he noticed Sam smiling whimsically at him.After a short discussion between themselves , the students were ready packing to get back home.

On the other hand ,Raj's father Kumar and Sam's father Hari are very good friends.Whenever they get to meet each other at the school ,they never forget to wish each other good day .Although they noticed that their children are never get along well ,they never minded them much since they knew that Raj and Sam are another part of their past and these rivalries never last long .

July 26, 2006 - Mumbai
The next day the debate went on with full enthusiasm with Sam heading his topic "Petrol is a better choice" and Raj heading his topic "Diesel are better choice"

SAM: We all know that any car runs smoothly with Petrol having better pick up rate whereas Diesel car never runs smoothly.

RAJ: Sam argument are stories of the past .Today we have Diesel cars that are quieter than in the past and the manufacturers have been able to tone down the noise level almost to the point that you wouldn't know it's a diesel from inside the car. More importantly they give a lot of mileage with the benefit of turbo boost which means they are more fuel efficient than any petrol car and they are impossible to stall.

SAM: Diesel cars need servicing every 5 to 6000 miles whereas a petrol needs servicing only when it is at 10 to 12000.Do that mean that you spend less ?

RAJ:My answer is yes.The extra MPG with a diesel seems worth the effort and it's harder for diesel to go bad than gasoline as they have better compression and more torque.

SAM:But it should be noted that you will spend five times the money in buying a diesel car than a petrol car .Diesel cars are very expensive and complex model to be build.Also ,they put out more particulate emissions than gasoline engines.So petrol engine are much better choice than diesel engine.

RAJ:Under the newer 2010 emission control, diesels have less emissions then same gas vehicle that means lower CO2 emissions.The Diesel car also stands for the 'Go Green ' element too.Many diesel engines can be easily upgraded to run on bio-diesel as well as recycled cooking oil which is good for the environment .The cost which you quoted as expensive becomes negligible under the rate of greater economy and more power for the same amount of fuel consumed in the longer run .

Everyone cheered Ram of his correct argument.Sam noticing that many started favoring Raj became very nervous.Yet,he was not ready to give in

SAM: But what about the smooth travelling inside the city. Doesn't  driving a petrol car differ from that of a diesel car ?Cant you see that diesel prices are rising  touching petrol's price ?.Very soon they even go  higher beating the price of the petrol .

Prof.Guna , a cautious man always supporting each and every one of his students interrupted : Well well students.We already have lots of points on pros and cons regarding the petrol and the diesel from both your sides.And that's enough for today's debate.And now the result is ,

I got to know about your views and as much researched by the companies and the people who drive (opting my students here out) , Diesel cars are a better choice taking into account of its performance ,the economy , the refinement and the particle emissions .


After the final result,the class dispersed approvingly and silently under Prof.Gunalan's control .

Back Outside it was raining heavily ,

Both Raj and Sam were ready to go home.Today being there final IPL cricket match ,Sam was busy searching for his father to come soon. He came .

Sam father Hari : Hello Sam.Hello Raj ,hasn't your father come yet?There is a big traffic jam out there because of the sudden flood , maybe your dad would come a bit late. Why don't you come in my car so I can drop you back at your home after the flood subsides.

SAM : Dad, don't you know there is an important IPL match today.We would miss the match if you do social works.

Sam father Hari cooled down his temper and was ready to answer him ,when Ram shouted "Daddy".Then without a word, he waved back to his friend Kumar and then to Raj and hurried back home with his son before more rain hits the city.

Raj and Raj's father Kumar made their way to their car too as fast as they can.Half way through their home,Raj saw someone familiar.Its none other than Sam's father Hari standing on the road.He told his father about it.They stopped and enquired. Mr.Hari's car had a break down and the engine was stalled due to flood water blocking the engine to run.

Mr.Kumar gave lift for Mr.Hari and his son since the flood was getting more and more bigger and wider.All the four of them had a bad time travelling home with the traffic jams and the rising flood.Finally as they made it to their homes ,

Mr.Hari said,"My God,what an car is this .Amazing drive and without much problem it brought us safely back to home with all those floods out there".

Mr.Kumar answered ,"Hey Thanks,you should thank the improved technology of the engine and its fuel in the car that made it run effectively"

Mr.Hari :"Fuel and yes the engine,that damn engine of my c`r .I have to service my car tomorrow and refill my petrol tank too and "

Mr Kumar interrupted ," Arey ,Switch to Diesel Man ".With a Diesel car you can have high fuel efficiency , longer engine life and moreover you can drive better around even during crisis time like flood .They also prove beneficial for a longer travel too.

As they conversed and got down , Raj smiled at Sam .

Sam slowly looked at Raj and thanked him for his timely help ignoring the fact of how he behaved at school that evening.

The next day all over Mumbai was the talk of the flood that shook Mumbai after a decade. For both Sam and Raj ,they have learned how to be helpful with each other after this incident .They are now very well versed with the right engine that helped them survive the flood.

Highlights of MultiJet Diesel Engine -the second generation common rail

MutiJet Diesel Engine

• It is the second generation conman rail diesel engine.
• It uses up to seven injections into the cylinder each time by means of having more control over the injector both by the computer as well as the physical behavior of the injectors themselves.
• It has the ability to provide the best possible injection sequence for a smoothest and quietest drive with the its ability to control over the engine fuel injectors
• Emissions are very much less. For example , the Fiat 500 1.3 MultiJet ,the emission are just 104 g/km. The most efficient diesel engine comparative to the Petrol Engine
• Presence of a small Turbocharger called Eco Turbo boosts the performance of the MultiJet Engine giving 20% more torque at low engine speeds, while cutting fuel and CO2 emissions.
• All Fiat diesel engine uses the MultiJet technology.The Fiat Panda 1.3 MultiJet Engine provides about  65.7 mpg ,70bph

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 20; the twentieth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. 

Tiny droplets of water on the glass window sill calling my imaginations and thoughts to be  typed and blogged.I inserted the image and now I stare at it for a long time .....

She was sitting inside her room near her widow.There was no current in the house because she was in India where the current goes off when it rains heavily  .Instead ,the room was lit with dim candle light.An half-emptied bottle of water lay beside the table .She went to reach it out when she saw a bank paper laying on the table requesting her glance.She at once agreed and scribbled a few words listening to the whispers and the noises that broke the silence on this dark night .

All the words were related to the happenings now.It's the water , its metamorphism , its transformation or say its forms....you name it your way .With a sigh , she opened the window .She could feel the rush of cool breeze in her room filling her body and her mind with some moist relaxation.She took a quick breath and noticed the tiny droplets hanging down the window sill waiting its turn to fall down.She slowly touched the droplets of water hanging on the iron rod that ran over her window.The soft water balls reflected her hands as she moved in front of it and it's surface , it spread itself on her hand.She loved the play.Again, she bend down to see the other droplets clearly.They reflected her face and her eyes.A curve called smile slowly appeared on her face.She moved back and sat on her chair looking at the droplets feeling the cold air filling her and her room.She took her pen from the pen stand and played with those written words from her paper.She collected how her five senses of seeing, hearing g,tasting,feeling, smelling had the role of water in each and every pace of her life .

After fifteen minutes, satisfied with her work she drank the water and emptied the bottle.A sense of satisfaction passed all over her body....W.A.T.E.R .

The two extremes of feelings

drizzle on every human life

as dew 

tear drops trickles near eyes

on an unexpected outcome 

precipitated feelings 

balancing my right weight 

as downpour 

Grief rains , showers my face

wet eyes and soul

pouring out the heaviness 

of the mind and heart

 balancing my left ,as I ride

on this journey of bumpy roads

splashing through emotions 

spraying precious liquid 
dripping from the eyes
 whispering

silent untold words

straight from the Heart

The above image is a prompt given by blog-o-tonic to pen down my thoughts .I finished and saved my draft to be posted on May 7th.My tongue aches and now I move to my kitchen for that five letter precious word that fills my five senses with satisfaction - WATER.
