Want to buy a car - I compared Swift with i10

Joined a new site, submitted 6 articles yesterday, got approved 5 and referred 1 friend, earned 510 Indian rupees for doing this at boddunan

You do not have submit your adsense publisher id on boddunan. Just giving it a try.

Dude. It is swift all the way. I have driven the i10, but Swift is more fun to drive.

If you can stretch to Swift VDi / Ldi, it is blessed with a gem of an engine. My brother owns one and it is very much fun to drive and is extremely fuel efficient. We get 15 km per liter in city traffic and 20 km per liter on highway (both mileage are with AC plus bigger tires in alloys). Until now, clocked 3000 kms in first service.

Also, engine is the same as the Swift DDiS in UK. UK Swift has 69 bhp whereas we get 75 bhp and it is manufactured by Maruti plant, so it feels great to have the same engine as an international spec!

One more thing friends, I agree i10 has excellent interiors, but most people think beige means better interiors, which is wrong. Swift also has great interiors. Looks neat and tidy and it is also low in maintenance.

Maruti Swift can easily seat five folks and is quite spacious but Hyundai i10 cannot do the same easily.

You can also just go by what magazines or TV reports have to say. Take a look on magazines and have test rides and decide yourself.

Hyundai i10 is for people who just want to "catch the i" and Swift is for people who want to catch the horizon and never get caught themselves".

Also fuel efficiency and average of a car depends on the driving style. If you will use the clutch and gear more with zippy drives, the average for Swift will be around 10 and if you drive it at an average speed between 50 to 60 km per liter using less gearshift and pressing clutches, the average will be around 14 to 15 easily.

Hyundai i10 is the best suitable car for learners and Swift is for a real MACHO.

Ultimate movie list of all time Part II



Be Kind Rewind movie released in 2008

I expected a lot from this move because it is made by Michel Gondry and written by him (I wish Charlie Kauffman worked alongside him while writing this one). The film never really takes off in the sense that it never manages to let you get hold of the characters and grasp the situation, which actually messes up a brilliant concept.

With a cast, which includes such a brilliant performer like Jack Black and still it fails miserably to bring out the smile is a huge disappointment.

The only reason I could recommend this film to others is because of its concept which I loved.

My advice: One-time watch.

My rating: 6.7/10




An Inconvenient Truth movie released in 2006

I cannot say much except that its message is loud and clear and that is Global Warming and that could be the biggest threat which mankind will have to face in the next few years. I m not saying much about it because the entire film has Al Gore explaining students how global warming actually takes place, so basically it is just like sitting and watching someone giving you a lecture on where you have gone all wrong in your life.

Anyways, you can just watch it if you are seriously interested in knowing more about the cause which Al Gore has taken up.

My rating: 7.7/10

My weird movie list of all time

Ken Park 2002 short movie review

Ken Park goes completely over the top of my head with its sickening sexual exploitation. It is really a sick movie and I don’t understand how such filmmakers are still allowed to express their views in such a pathetic manner by showing such scenes. I have seen Larry Clark's previous movie called Bully, which was equally disturbing, but I don’t get the point behind expressing your views through exploitation.

Enough is enough for this director. Now it is a high time that this man shows his true talent by making something more than a porn movie with a positive message.

My rating: 5/10

Meet The Spartans Movie (2008) Short Review

First of all, I would like to meet the director of this film for making me feel miserable the whole night for making go through this pathetic piece of shit. This one is worse than the Epic Movie and even manages to make Epic Movie look like a masterpiece in comparison. What can I say about a movie with no plot, no characters, and only two scenes which makes laugh expect that, “please bang your head to a wall rather than watching this movie and if you accidentally do watch this movie, please call me later so that I could help you get out of the whole process.

My rating: 0/10.

Do you think that Honda Jazz is costly?






Is Honda Jazz costly for 7.62 lakh INR on road?

Honda has better global presence than Skoda. If you leave aside build quality, Honda vehicles are generally better than Skoda. And maintenance costs are definitely lower. Fabia could beat Jazz in sales only because of the diesel option, nothing else. Petrol to petrol, Honda is miles ahead of Skoda.

The 4-5 lakh car from Honda will be another car, not the Jazz. That car may take 2 or 3 years. The Jazz engine specs have been announced - 1.2L i-VTEC engine with 90ps power and 112N-m torque @ 4800 rpm. Pretty much the same as Swift P. Can't understand why they could not be generous with the torque!

Do you think that sign language is a hindrance in learning speech?

I don't think so that sign language is a hindrance in learning speech. In fact it supports understanding clear speech and its use. I don't understand why people look down when a person uses sign communication? It’s their language.

Just a thought popped up in my mind, the way English people tried making the world look like them English, we here are doing the same, by imposing only speech communication, we are snatching their rights. It is clear that it is their own choice and preference.

Yes, I am in favor that teaching sign languages to babies is not only helpful but enhances their communication skills from the first date.

Do you think that teaching sign language to babies is helpful?

Eventually, it is a person's own preference whether he/she wants oral communication or sign. People who just stick to sign language, experience smooth communication and express their thoughts wonderfully in signs. It also enhances primary language. On the other hand, people who use oral preference have experienced good speech as well. So, there is no evidence that proves sign/oral communication is the best. It's person's own preference.
