Tata Nano launched finally


Finally, Tata Nano is here. After a long journey full of admiration and controversies, Tata Nano, the small yet innovative car by Tata launched yesterday. The world's cheapest car which is promising affordable and comfortable vehicle to millions of Indians for whom a car was far out of reach. The snub-nosed(a term used for sharp or flat nose),4 seater 623 rear engine an idea and dream of Tata group chairmen Mr. Ratan Tata.
But with its much awaited launch on Monday, it also faces the biggest challenge of delivering on promises. The journey to Nanos launch which has been delayed by at least six months has not been an easy one neither for Tata Motors nor for Ratan Tata. The project got in a political controversy in West Bengal, where Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamul Congress stood against the land given for the cars factory at Singur. After a long wait, Tatas withdrawing from the state late last year, only to head to Sanand in Gujarat, where production will take at least one year to start.
Tata Motors will now launch the Nano, but with limited production capacity that is believed to be only around 50,000-60,000 units in the first year.
Of course everybody is looking forward to this dream car so as I as this is specially built by keeping in mind the Middle Class Family. But before buying it,one biggest question which will come in any Himachali person's mind(Being a resident of Himachal Pradesh, I have to think of that) will it fit in our road, will it able to move smoothly through the hilly roads of Himachal Pradesh. And if it would be then I can say it will be The "Biggest Hit".

Microsoft Internet Explorer Rolls Out..


Microsoft Corp. is set to publicly launch Internet Explorer 8 early on Thursday, the latest version of its market-dominating Web browser.
The application can be downloaded from Microsoft's website from 9 a.m.

IE8, as it is commonly referred to, has been in public beta testing for about a year, but Thursday's launch marks its full public roll out.

Microsoft, the world's largest software company, said IE8 will run with Windows Vista, its latest operating system, and also Windows XP, the previous version which some users still prefer over Vista.

The application replaces IE7, which has a hold on the browser market. According to a recent survey Internet explorer has a 72.2 per cent market share, ahead of the Mozilla’s Firefox browser with 17.2 per cent.

Google new Chrome browser has only 2.8 per cent of the market, while Apple Safari has less than 1 per cent.

New features in IE8 include right-clicking on addresses or other Web features to go straight to a map or put into a blog or other website, which Microsoft calls an "accelerator". Users will also be able to put in keywords in the address bar to recall sites visited related to that word.

The new browser also has enhanced security protection, for example warning users if they are about to download something from a site known to be a source of malicious software, or "malware".

So download it from official Microsoft Website or follow the link: (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/beta/worldwide-sites.aspx) and enjoy.

Happy surfing..

India_New Zealand Test-Series

So whack whack form of Cricket is over and now its turn of more serious, patient form of the game i.e Test Cricket. So far India's tour of New-Zealand is mixture of both success and failure. India lost both T-20 matches and being the world champions that a bit of shame but recovered in a brilliant way to win the ODI series. India outplayed New-Zealand in all departments of the game and won the series despite a consolation win for the hosts in the dead rubber and created history by winning first ever ODI series in New-Zealand. India's earlier failure in New-Zealand were mostly due to the failure of their batsman but this time they just show their strength in the batting department.Sehwag was devastating and so as others. This is arguably the best batting line-up in the world right now.

But now its the time to switch to the more patience form of cricket. In this form experience matters more than anything and Team India had plenty of that. The trio of Sachin, Dravid and Laxman along with Sehwag, Gambhir Dhoni and Yuvraj will try to put as much runs as they can on the board to give a chance to the bowlers. In bowling department India too have plenty of experience with Zaheer leading the fast bowling department along with Ishant and Harbhajan in the spin department could be equally effective. New-Zealand too is a good side and they too have some class in both departments. With likes of Brendon Mcullum, Ross Taylor, Jesse Ryder they have a strong batting line up and in Daniel Vettori they have the world's best left arm spinner. So its almost a equal fight(Hoping for comfortable India's win though).Hope you all will enjoy the series and get disturbed in the early morning as the match will start at 3:30(IST).

Cheers!!!
