Honda cars on the move all over the world. The beat their rivals Toyota sales in US last month. Toyota sales consistently coming down over last 3 months.
The success story attributed to new, highly refined Accord, Civic.
Congrats Honda. Happy to see some manufacturer pushing sales through new design, techno improvement which brings out better mileage, comfortable manoeuvring compared to 10 years old highly rehashed Toyota Corolla.

The Hindu - Highly Biased editorial
Background - SC's comments on DMK's bandh sorry strike -
Karunanidhi said it was only a hunger strike by the ruling party. However, only 61 buses of the state government's 16 thousand buses were running because of the strike.As its orders were flouted, an angry Supreme Court said the state could be put under President's Rule. But the allies of the DMK were quick to come to the chief ministers defence.''If this is the attitude of the DMK Government, the UPA Government should not feel shy of dismissing it and impose President's Rule,'' the court observed. It paralysed the people's movement, business on Oct 1.
The Hindu published Editorial on Wednesday's Newspaper - It went on blaming excessive activism by Judiciary.
But the point needs to be taken is:
1. Bandh is viewed as Unconstitutional by Supreme Court
2. People were held to ransom
3. Economic loss could be as high as Rs.750crore per bandh in Tamil Nadu
4. More over, there is no meaning for bandh as DMK is part of both state and central government and they cant do bandh against themselves. It is a total mockery.
5. Worse, the matter is sub-judice. Law minister had already submitted to court asking 3 months time.
But The Hindu didnt bother to take note on all the above. They went on abusing judiciary and didnt care to look at the basics.
Sorry State of affairs and they matched or even beat Murasoli (party organ of DMK).

Pariharam - Ram Setu
Guys... we call it workaround in IT industry... They call it "pariharam" in religious sentiment.
Why cant we build something like "Vivekanandar Rocks of Kanyakumari" in Rameswaram and make every ship to pay Rs.25,000.
Why cant we create identity for Ram Setu and make money and tourism out of it so that the memory of Ram Setu remains for long?
We are wasting enough time in something which no one can prove whether it existed or not.

on New Tamil Movie Songs
I am sick and tired of new tamil movie songs. Some 75 tamil movies come every year and most of the songs are meaningless, kuthu pattu etc...
Most of them have predictable sounds, pattern and not leading anywhere after couple of listenings.
Very few songs are good which comes from Rahman, Harris & Yuvan. I think, we deserve better songs, tunes instead of ear damaging Kuthu Pattu.

Good Rest
I took a good rest in the past 3-4 days due to long holiday here.
Eat, Sleep and DVDs are mantra for long break.

Outlook on DOW record close
DOW closed to record high and NASDAQ scaled new peak in 6 1/2 years.
But caution is the key word now as the markets reacting too fast on expectations of further cut in interest rates. Economic improvement is some time away. Banks had done a good thing of writing-off mortgage related bad debts and thus cushioning the next quarter results.
My feeling is beware of this rally and this could fizzle out sometime in near future before december.
