Cycles can become better

Today morning while taking my younger Daughter's cycle, i realised that Brakes were very hard on my fingers.

If this is the case... I pondered all thro' the push/ pull cycle effect, that it would be very hard on any 4~8 year old child as it would be hard to apply these brakes.

Upon closer inspection, I found the following

1. friction free cables not used
2. return spring of higher tension
3. akward lever position which is beyond the reach of any small child to apply the brakes.

There has been enough research which has gone into all these areas... It makes me wonder why the cycle industry is yet to embrace them... Is it lack of glamour to the industry which make it that way ?

Confusion

I & a Very trusted friend were discussing a few prospective plans & that was when I expressed that the entire phase/planing hitting a road block & was bit Confused.

This Friend Suggested me that there are two things which have to happen when you get confused.

1. Confused so: do an Ebbatical to understand the confusion better
2. Confused so: It presents an opportunity to explore the unexplored.

Thanks to Sameer for Such Enlightening words.

Ebbatical would begin

Give Every thing can -Vs- Give what people want

A few weeks ago a Mail was hurled at me, asking me reasons for replyin to or starting only 100+ mails on www.bajajpulsar.org

understanding the spirit of the mail I got to understand "why I did not start many new threads but only replied to querries".

As I refelect on this question now, I realise that it it better to give what people want rather than what you want to give .

By giving what I want, I would be giving things which are unwanted by the take & there by wate the resource. By giving what the taker wants we would be adding meaning to what we really do.

Giving what ever you want / can is Philosphical, Whilst Giving what people want is Spiritual.

The Art of Giving

Its human to take from others, It take a little extra human effort to give to others.

It always better to give people what they want as they relish it, rather than giving what you can.

The only golden rule that i've learnt is "Ensure that the taker is worthy of the giving"

Giving = Taking

Re-Birth of the Icon : Chetak the Indian war horse

This is opposite to what I usually blog here. Since this too was a passing thought, thought it right to blog it.

Chetak : Who does not know about this Melody of the yesteryear's. Its was the style statement in its hay days which went on to become a Must have two wheeler a few years later.

Off late I've been attending far too many Social gatherings. In these gatherings, I do meet up with very many old time customers who still go GAGA with their Chetak & Chetak days.

Most of them have given up driving the chetak around for the Convenience of Automatic scooters.

In this Era of remakes & remixes , which have turned out to be great success, I now feel that it would happen to the Chetak too. I strongly feel that Chetak needs to have a rebirth, OFC in a new Avtar.
In its new Avtar, this new scooter should appeal to the Chetak Generation whilst keeping an eye on the wants of the "Today Generation".

All it takes is a 125 CC 4- Stroke , well styled, simple to use , Automatic scooter. The Styling according to me must be derived from the older Chetak with a few features added ala the old Marquee.

It should derive some small external styling leads/ inputs from the Yesteryear's Chetak in a few areas, which Reminds us about the Great Marquee Calling itself the "Chetak Automatic".

In short it should be a reminder of the old Glory days of the Chetak set in the modern era.

The Name Chetak, I am sure it would rekindle many memories & bring back the glory of the yesteryears.

Experience : a Finer Derivative

Expereience:

Having seen a few application which come in with a column quoting the experience in the number of years at doing some thing, thought of the same today in the morning.

Experience according to me is all about the learning one derives from every day endevors & trying to do the same quickly under similar circumstances & not repeat the same mistakes that were commited in the earlier instance.

Destiny : Who Controls it?

Well people resort to saying in depression that "Its my Bad luck or Destiny".

The question is who Determines one Destiny ?

It is said that the "Only person incharge of destiny is the Person himself".

All other who say are incharge of the persons Destiny are only acting upon the behest of this person & not the people who control it.
