Lazy sunday nonsense ramble...

Was on Edmunds.com and was looking at new cars / concepts at the NY Auto Show. Lexus has the new LX570 with 10 airbags. (2 specifically made for the little toe on either foot and 2 more, 1 for each nut for the guy driver! just kidding!)

Interstingly also is the new Mark Levinson audio with...get this.....19 speakers! Here's the deal...I'm willing to bet that even if 5 or 6 of the 19 speakers conk out, the driver will have no clue there's something wrong with his car audio. I can understand component speakers up front and regulars at the back along with a sub-woofer and a center channel...that's the limit of my imagination and that's 8 speakers all told!

These are the days of automotive excesses....too much horsepower....too much torque....required to move too much weight....costing too much money....and consuming too much gas...

R2I, X = X+1, what the hell?!!

Just reading up on NRIs returning back to India....Man, was simply BLOWN away by the content that's out there on the www....unbelievable.

There are forums that detail the various aspects of the R2I process - the R2I experience, financial, logistical etc,. and these are covered in some serious detail - checklists on when to do what...

Just reading that makes my spine tingle.....gets me all excited....just like how it was when we came to the US back in 2000.

God knows I need a change.....this is not wants or desires people...this is NEED! :-)

Now all I need to do is set a date and follow the rulebook....Hello Bangalore!
