This new year, we finally started the podcast we have been planning for months, or probably even years. The reason, simple! I realised that half the time I am talking about automobiles and everything around them anyway, and most of the people around me share similar interests, if not similar opinions. So, why not just […]
December 2015 | I don’t like the Yamaha RX100. Never have. Yes, it was an impressive motorcycle and a huge success for the brand but it just doesn’t click for me. Maybe because I have a tendency to contradict with the masses or maybe because the masses were so overwhelmed by the RX100 that they […]

Car companies are good at one thing, making cars. However, the cars these days apparently put less mechanical engineers to work than the software engineers. Makes sense. If tech can make things better, why not put it to good use. Apart from how the car moves and does car-ish things, the infotainment system has seen […]
Elon Musk is one of the most respected personalities in the tech industry. I have massive respect for the man who had the courage to build Tesla in an industry dominated by the likes of Volkswagen, Ford and Toyota. Automobile industry is clearly one where the new kids find it hard to stand against the […]
