I'm the Executive Editor for BIKE India and CAR India magazines, based in Pune. In the past, I've also worked with magazines like Business Standard Motoring, CHIP and Indian Auto. . Fast cars (Ferraris and Lamborghinis), Superbikes (Ducati 999R, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R, MV Agusta F4 1000 Tamburini, and my very own Hyosung Comet 250GT...), Digital audio/video production, music (love playing my synth), and anything that's very fast and very dangerous.... Also, walking by the sea in the evening. I love Bombay, and I love the sea...

Dear rx135, glad you liked the review. And by the way, it's me (my Moutshut ID is dhruv_tara) who's written this review for BIKE India also, since I'm the Executive Editor for that magazine... :-) Sameer Kumar
Dude, check your facts first! The Comet 250 does not have fuel injection!! Log on to any Comet forums on Yahoo and check with them if you have any doubts... Sameer

This thing of sending thugs to collect so called dues, is really bad. These b@#$% should be beaten to pulp. I suggest you go to a local newspaper and tell them about this. Maybe they can do an article on this, or at least print your letter in the newspaper so people can know all this nonsense is hap Read More...

I read the book many years ago, when I was in the 10th standard I think... At that time, I had enjoyed the book very much, and now this review of yours brought back some very explicit (!!) memories of those two women, Noelle and Catherine. Hmmm... :-) You know what, you write very well. Have you Read More...

Sonal, man, yo tha dude! Yo tha maan! This is the first review on MouthShut which had me laughing out loud! Take it from me (I'm a professional writer...), you have a talent for writing. All the best....
That was one cool review... :-) And hey, that poor little scooter seems to be serving you well, so go a little easy on the mite. Don't give it such a hard time, give at least some potholes a miss.... ;-)

Yes, I'm the same Sameer. The 4x4 Invader is a good off-road car, but is not refined enough for on-road usage. I wouldn't recommend long highway trips in one. Using the car in the city can also be a pain at times. Buy a 4x4 Invader only if you plan to do a considerable amount of off-roading.
Yeah, I work for Business Standard Motoring. I am their Road Test Editor. Drop in some time if you wish to meet me. Address is BSM, 3rd floor, Paragon bldg., opp. Century Mills compound, Worli, Mumbai
