Education - BE (mech) - Pune Univ, MS (aero) - IIT Madras Job - IT professional - currently working with BMC Software in Pune. I'm fiercely proud Indian and take immense pride in being a Maharashtrian. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Veer Savarkar are my idols. I have roamed around various parts of India as well as both coasts of USA but feel that there is nothing that beats our home land!. I love motorcycle riding and car driving a lot. I am equally happy on rugged and winding terrain of Maharashtra and 10 lane highways of USA! I love driving in Konkan as well as California - in short anywhere in the world! But nothing beats riding on my bike in the ghats and enjoying a hot morning tea somewhere in a road side tea-stall during Indian winter. Other interests are books, films, music and many other sports, kites etc

Long Term Update - Continued! 2) The AC problem could not be understood by Chennai authorised Fiat service centre (VST motors - Anna Salai) and they felt it was fine but it wasn't.

Guys, let us not get into unnecessary comparisons. I am dying to know about someone who now already owns and may be has gone through 1-2 servicings of Kawasaki Ninja 250 in India. Don't say things like buy wagon R etc. You know for sure that in the market you can get a cheap shirt for Rs 250 but read more...
More Long Term Updates! I have few recommendations to all bike lovers (Pulsar or otherwise!) 1) Try using premium quality petrol as much as possible (SPEED and Shell Super are best as per my experience but you can choose your preferred brand) 2) Once outside warranty period, I recommend CASTROL read more...
Long Term Update on Pulsar 180 DTSi version 1 My bike is still going strong! I am still getting indicated speeds of 120-125 kmph (real would be a bit lower as is the case in most bikes). The fuel efficiency is still hovering between 35-42 kmpl depending on situation. Most chrome plated parts are st read more...

Hey Man, I think when it comes to bikes, we should stop giving a bike to authorised service centre as soon as warranty period is over (before that you have to stick to authorised guys as otherwise they will say warranty is void). I found that in general for bikes, authorised showrooms do all kin read more...

Fairly detailed review! However, I am of the opinion that Karizma doesn't do justice to its price. You can read my review of Pulsar 180 DTSi on MouthShut to compare. Anyways, Karizma too is a good bike and once you have made a decision, rather than comparing with others, just enjoy the ride! All the read more...

Hey, I bought Fiat Palio Stile 1.6 Sport last year and have been enjoying the drive. Forget about resale etc. Enjoy while you drive. Fiat cars are pretty good in general and engines are especially good. I heard that Bravo is very powerful - something like 140 + BHP. Is it true? I feel Fiat should read more...

Hi folks, I am sure this bike would be available in Mumbai - especially South Mumbai based Yamaha showrooms are likely to have it. I am in Pune and here the Yamaha showroom in Wakdewadi already has Yamaha R1 available. There is no doubt that this is one thoroughbred race-ready super bike that read more...

Hi Badri, My friend has recently bought an Apache RTR 160 and I also took a short test ride and felt that in terms of racy stance, looks, pick up etc it is a good bike. Also, I felt that it handles better than my old Pulsar 180 DTSi (first version with 18 inch spoke wheels - not alloys). But I read more...

Hi Partha, Originally I didn't think much about ICICI's internet banking facility and used to feel bad about its branch experience.
