Mahindra e2o T2 and thoughts of alternatives

Launched in 2013 with approximate price at 5.72 lacs, many of us would have been aware of its design, performance, ride and handling, running and maintenance cost. It is totally new with more enhanced features and for some people Reva is still the best.

There is a question, why the cars is very costly which has only a battery and a dc motor as its prime mover compared with other gasoline cars which has thousands of precision machine parts which is available at lower costs. It is questionable about its running cost at 50 paise and people are not aware of its maintenance cost like battery, etc.

There are satisfied people who are running old Reva model for almost ten years and feel affordable and handy about it. Will E2O match the merits of the Reva old model except a few cosmetic touches to the interiors?

Indians are willing to contribute towards the environment by adopting electric cars, but are out of choice to afford this high price from middle class families. Customers are expecting pricing factor offered by the company which may be able to reach the pocket of common man. One of the success stories is the case of Tata Nano which had a vision for both the customer and seller of that particular segment of car market.

I searched online for the best alternative to Nokia 1100 mobile phone and came across many phones which are out of choice. Finally, came across Micromax x097 phone, initially I was reluctant to buy online thinking that with the price in a small thousand, the piece will be very small with even smaller button.

Went to a local shop and asked for the same Micromax x097 and had a feel through the same I thought of purchasing. Yes, exactly it is the same phone which is better alternative to Nokia 1100 and will best suit to my mother.

Rape of Customers in India

It is time to quit Airtel - Discounted tariff gone-up to Rs. 295 and the days are reduced from 90 to 70 days, 2G from 98 for 1GB for 30 days to Rs. 126 for 1GB for 28 days to now Rs. 149 for 28 days.......it is called systematic rape of customer by corporates and politicians.

Seems fuel cost will get reduce now and poli-corp (politicians & corporates) will try to concentrate on communication services.

Negatives and Alternatives to Moto E Launched in Flipkart

With the launch of the Moto E in flipkart, in just few hours, there were more than 250 reviews in flipkartitself. Many of the other technology blogs have given updates related to MotoE. I would like to give a short point on features missing on Moto E.

1 No secondary camera in Moto E that means one won’t be having video calling, etc
2 No flash on Moto E that means one has to take closer snap to enhance more on picture quality.

The price of Moto E on launch day in flipkart is Rs. 6999/- with the least EMI option of Rs. 626/-. It is sold by WS retail which gives additional offers as below:

Launch Day Offer :- Extra 50% off on a later purchase of a Transcend 8GB memory card View T&C

Launch Day Offer :- Free preselected eBooks worth Rs 1000 on downloading the Free Flipkart eBooks App View T&C

Launch Day Offer :- Extra 50% off on a later purchase of original Moto E back covers View T&C

The alternative mobiles phones for that price range I consider are Gionee P3, Micromax Canvas Juice A177, Lava Iris 406Q. All these mobile comes with 1GB RAM (except Gionee) with some features which may suit best as alternative to Moto E. Click here to compare these mobile phones.

Tamil Nadu Transport - Why particular motels?

An extract from FB........

Who cares for this? Recently I traveled to Madurai from Chennai State Express bus. In the bus, a young couple with a baby in arm occupied their seat behind me. Within minutes of leaving the bus, passengers started to fall asleep. Finding that almost all of the passengers asleep, the young couple, made arrangement to put the baby in the baby's mattress on the floor and put it to bed.

At a motel in the middle of the night when everyone was in a deep sleep (the restaurant along the road) the bus stops. There was a strong voice on the loudspeaker like a dabbagg-kuttu song screaming. However, like me, except for one or two passengers, one did not rise. The rest were all good sleep.

The motel guy was at the counter; he looked at one of the nearby bus and took an empty water can in his hands with loud voice he was banging the can all around the bus. The banging sound and his loud voice brought all asleep passengers to a shock and all were looking for whats’ happening. With the banging noise the baby lying on the floor started crying out loud, the parents were trying the best to calm the baby.

I got out of bus and thought of having a tea, when asked the price I got reply as "Fifteen rupees". With the cost, I changed my mind and went to buy biscuits than having a tea. I was shocked to see the biscuit wrapper, instead of milk-bikis for Britannia brand the wrapper is with same design read milk-pikis. I came to know that the biscuits were locally made and packed similar to original brand Britannia.

A young man was arguing with the bus driver asking why he was letting that motel guy to bang on all sides of the bus with his plastic tool, he was stating that when on road traffic, even for the smallest side crash the drivers will yell-out, but why he is remaining silent this time? He was asking to the driver, who gave authority to him to loudly bang on the sides of the bus and also disturbing all the passengers. He demanded a reply from driver and also wanted to give a police complaint. The driver smilingly replied “seen many guys like you, nothing works even with police”. Their argument drew all the passengers and finally the young man got onto the bus to peacefully.

On-boarding the bus and after settling down, I asked the conductor, “The food is available to you free of cost, so that you can play with the lives of passengers with low quality foods”. I started... have any individual rider to passenger such were roasted. Conductor was silent for some time, and began to talk. I know they sell overpriced low quality food; they sell fake products of all eatable items. He continued……even we don’t take food here other than a tea. We were forced by transport department officers to stop on such and such a hotel. If we don’t abide their order, we receive penalty tickets and strong warning, may be they may have ties between the motel guy and the officers.

I was shocked to hear this and wanted to warn / share with friends who travel by bus of such a things happening. Please, share in all media that it is heared by the highest authority in Tamil Nadu to take severe action against the motel owner as well as the transport officers. - tamilvalam
