Which car to buy?

Confusion is a small word; I have literally checked up 18 different car models in the past 2 months and still do not know what to go for??



It is so frustrating, you see one car has the right price but not the options that I want while the other is too cheap that for sure the quality will be compromised. By the way I am looking for a saloon which should be priced around 10000 KD, now I believed before going into the jungle (car market) that much money is a decent amount for a good car.



But sadly it is not , the recession in the car market has hit my pocket! Every car that I like seems to be highly priced, e.g. I fell in love with the new BMW 5 series but over the budget then I checked out Mercedes C Class but then do I really want a under-powered car for the sake of driving a top end brand Naah!



Well that leaves me with going for a Japanese (Honda) with all the frills fitted into it, and just when I thought I had finally cracked it, my wife asks me why do we need a second Japanese car (already own a Prado)… and this puts me back to square one.


So the thinking continues …

Civil Liberties

The whole world from Middle East to Africa to South America to South East Asia seems to be realing under the upsurge of protests and uprisigns. Although intensities of these protests varies from place to place, but the underlying idea is the same- Change.

Being from India and having observed the protests by the anti corruption, made me stop and think that do we need to protest everything just for the sake of protesting. Many analysts of these indian protests belive that the real anger driving the indian public is there own weakness, their attitude of 'Chalta Hain' (it is fine) to everything.

I for one do not think that by mere having a law to fight corruption, Indians will be able to remove corruption this requires a mindset change, which looks as difficult as asking an tobbaco chewing India to stop chewing and spitting on the roads.

Anyways let the 70 year old Gandhian have his way and strave himself...but one slogan that comes to mind is - 100 mein 99 beiman phir bhi mera desh mahan (99 out of 100 people are corrupt still my country is great)
