Kenny from the block

Invictus

I was quite eager to see this movie just because of three reasons:

1. Morgan freeman - playing Nelson Mandela

2. Matt Damon - playing Francois Pienaar the captain of 1995 rugby world winning springboks team.

3. Director Clint Eastwood

I loved the storyline and both Morgan freeman and Matt damon did justice to clint's direction.
It is all about how Nelson mandela and Francois Pienaar turned around the post apartheid situation which was very well explained by a scene in which in a South Africa vs England match all whites were cheering for south africa but all blacks were cheering for england. And as far as rugby was concerned, South Africa was hosting the 1995 Rugby World Cup, that being the only reason the Springboks were even competing in the tournament as its years in isolation has not made it world ranked.

Good movie!!

Let the madness start

It starts today!!



i have a liking for Rajasthan Royals.

i want Delhi Daredevils to win.

i am a big fan of Chennai Super Kings.

i admire Deccan Chargers.

Guess that's my line up for semifinals this year!! Lets see how it goes.

and i still wonder why Kolkata Knight Riders even playing? just to give the "fake IPL Player" a fabulous time?

The Hurt Locker

The Hurt Locker Trailer

AMG

They termed it as the car that can fly. This might look very familiar to many as it was showcased on one of the posters of Auto Expo 2010 and the poster was put up at several places across NCR.

Extreme looping!!not sure if any graphical tweaks are involved but looks very real to me.

Why so similar?

now... as my wife asked:

"if it is from the director of the dark knight, is it necessary to have a poster similar to one of the posters of the dark knight?"

good question!! :)

Baker Street looked good

Guy Ritchie couldn't have directed this better. Hans Zimmer couldn't have composed the music better. Robert Downey Jr. couldn't have played Holmes better.

The friday evening couldn't have gone better :) A 2 time watchable i think!!

Testing Indigo Manza

Manza turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

it has almost everything expected in a luxury car, but its still under an affordable budget.



a 1300+ CC SAFFIRE petrol engine as expected had the punch. The interiors are as lush as it can be in an affordable sedan.

2-Tone Beige Interior Colour Scheme

Storage Tray Under Co-driver’s Seat

Glove Box with Lamp, Lock, Card Holder & Pen Holder

a huge boot...

etc..etc...

almost everything one can look for.

the drive was pretty smooth and the engine responded well on every throttle movement.

a good sedan i would say!!

a prospective buyer would be so confused in today's scenario, he/she can get an SX4 around the same price, add a bit more and Linea is there!!

interesting!!!

Another car in town is Chevrolet beat: On Thursday Chevrolet organised a road show in my office campus and it was a carnival setup. A Beat hoisted on a truck, a band playing, a group of hip-hop dancers doing there moves, few circus type artists showing there skills and lot of noise!! Didnt actually got the chance of taking a look inside the car but from outside with the car positioned on a bit of height, it appeared similar to A-Star, specially the rear windows. The front is still by favorite till date!!



Need a second look though!!

The "Beat" is up for AE 2010

Chevrolet is finally coming up with the hatchback which actually packs the punch which i first experienced way back when hyundai delivered i10.



The front grill is one of a kind with the chevy logo!!

Auto Expo(AE) 2010 has few things lined up which are already stirring lots of questions/excitement/apprehensions:

R1 2010
Hyundai i10 eletric
Maruti Suzuki R3
and many more for sure.....
Exciting enough for a 6-7 day expo.
