Ranjith’s Castle

Today I spent most of my time on testdriving some of  the car models present in the city. I went to see Fiat Palio. But what to do we landed up in a old one and the car was not up to the satisfaction. We went to the Tata Show room for the latest V2 Turbo model. But being the year end, no car is available for the test drive.

The guys there was great and promised to bring a vechicle for the test drive on monday.

We had a very bad experience at the Fiat showroom in chennai. The customer care manager there was more careful on his lunch then a customer waiting on the lounge. The same reflected from the manager who showed us a palio my color [ Black ]. His face is not even welcoming one…

My final call goes more towards Mahindra or Tata vechicles based on the bandwidth of my potential.

Cheers - Ranjith

Some time back I tried using the Flock browser for posting the blogs into my word press blog at dsmrk.com where I found that I dont have much options to select my categories and Tags. I did my previous post on how women uses internet from the performancing plugin of the Firefox. It was good and I was able to do much more than I did in Flock. I was also able to put tags from Technorati into my post. Let me put some tags in this post to confirm that it works fine with that tooo.

Love this tool. This reduces my work to go on to my online word press editor for doing the post.

Elizabeth Millard Writes in NewsFactor on how different men and women uses internet :

“If there is an overall pattern of
differences here, it is that men value the Internet for the breadth of
experiences it offers, and women value it for the human connections,”
said Deborah Fallows, Pew senior research fellow.

Earlier this year, a Forrester Research study also highlighted gender differences, specifically in terms of online retail.

In the study, analyst Carrie Johnson found that women use the Internet
to compare products and prices more frequently than men do. Also
notable was significant growth in buying for items like cosmetics and
jewelry.

“Women will be driving the next big online retail boom,” said
Johnson. “Online retailers would be wise to look at how women shop
online, and tailor their strategies accordingly.”

Overall 2005 was a good year that passes with me living on my 28. This year too, I was not able to complete some of my wishes.

I am thinking of writing some two to three topics that happened last year with me and my surroundings.

• Me MySelf
• Mairrages this year
• Things that made me sad
• What I want and what is going to happen the following year

Wanna correct and move forward better in the forthcoming 2006. Another year has come and need to see more improvements this year too as the previous one.

Check out one of my old poems I Wrote on 2004 eve

I Started Playing !!!

After a long gap, I started to play shuttle today.

Till some three to six months back , We use to play in the morning at our office premises . As more stressed in work and due to personal commitments towards sleeping , I stopped playing. I and Vijay used to plan and everything was a flop. This time we made it after a long gap. I started getting up around 6:20 am for the past three days. I have to make it 5:45.

I want to continue this for the next year.

Very Happy on this.

Cheers - Ranjith
