Standard features While I realize India is well advanced in terms of the car market—they own Land Rover and Jaguar, after all, and there are many Indian cars in New Zealand—it beggars belief that indigenous automaker Hindustan can claim a rear-view mirror and clear glass (as opposed to that opaque kind) as special standard equipment on its venerable Ambassador model.
Don 2 Or just watched the best Bollywood car chase sequence, filmed in Berlin with shades of Cobra 11, on YouTube.
Don 2 Really should have looked for a DVD of this instead of paying ₹275 for Players.
Blue skies and cloud-free I am so thankful for good weather wherever I flew to this January.
Thumbs-down for Players From The Indian Express on January 7: not a particularly favourable review for Players, the remake of the remake of The Italian Job. I have to say I agree with the reviewer, after seeing it at Inox in Pune that evening.
The first time round Remember that time Britney Spears married George Constanza off Seinfeld?
People are often unreasonable and self-centred. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
Mother Teresa
JY&A Fonts are rupee sign-equipped
Nine of JY&A Fonts’ families now have the rupee symbol. We’re not quite the first—an open source family beat us to it—but we’re among the first. The Unicode folks only announced the keyboard shortcut for Indian users last month, so I look forward to seeing my rupee symbols in action soon!
Excellent Here I am, trying to do my best Mr Burns impersonation.
Lucire: vote for us in Luxplosion!
We had a nice message on our Facebook page from a site called The Luxury Hub. Apparently, we’ve been nominated for the ‘Luxplosion 2010’ awards under the Lifestyle–Haute Living category, and to get into their top five, we need readers to re-nominate us. So, if you have time, head over to theluxuryhub.com/luxplosion-2010/, select Lifestyle as the category and Haute Living as the sub-category, and enter http://lucire.com as the URL. The rest should be self-explanatory and refreshingly, there’s no “sign up to nominate” requirement.
