www.nitinchaudhari.info

Finally after so many years of having my presence on web, I have my own domain (www.nitinchaudhari.info). I bought it in December from ZNet India for 99Rs and then 2Rs for mail and domain forwarding.

One thing I did not like about ZNet is that they didn't combine these 2 charges. They should have asked me while buying the domain if I wanted to use email and domain forwarding. I had to do 2 transactions, also when I tried to get in touch using their phone support, it didn't work. Anyway... this is my domain for the next 1 year :)

Currently I have forwarded it to this blog (thanks to their live chat support), but I am thinking if I should forward it to my web site and then from there have a link to my blogs. Maybe not because I don't update my web site, so for now... I have a link to my web site from this blog.

So basically, its time to update your bookmark :)

F1

Few months back Vijay Mallya acquired Spyker and renamed it Force India, now Spice Energy is all set to acquire Super Aguri.

Drivers for Force India in 2008 are going to be : Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil

2008 is going to be interesting... F1 has made a number of changes -

  • No traction control
  • FIA will provide electronic control units
  • Engine Freeze

Will have to wait 46 days for the first 200 F1 race - Australian GP

Lead India

Check out The Times of India presents Lead India - An India Poised Initiative

I think this is an awesome concept. I personally know few people who do a lot of others, who take initiative in doing something new/innovative. Such platform will bring out a lot of these hidden people.

One of the questions asked in Lead India was if we should switch over to Presidential form of government.

I think we should.

Scent of a man

I went to buy a deodorant today, and the shopkeeper showed me a cologne. I had no idea how to compare them... so I looked up on Google and here's what I found.

Cologne, deodorant and perfume are all alcoholic solutions of fragrance oils but differ in the percentage of fragrance oil and the grade of alcohol (percentage of alcohol to water).
The higher the concentration of fragrance oil, the longer the fragrance lasts.

  Cologne Deodorant Perfume
% of fragrance oil 3-6 6-15 15-25
% of grade alcohol 70 80 pure ethyl alcohol
Time span of fragrance shortest medium longest

Don't compare

Draw line A of 10 cm and next to it draw line B of 7 cm. Now it is obvious which line is shorter, and how do you make line B longer?

Easy... draw another line C of length 3 cm. So now line B is longer.

It all depends on what it is compared with. So does it really make sense to compare two people. I don't think so...
