Quick Post
A quick update about my exams: Two papers are gone....Computer aided drawing/manufacturing - Finite Element analysis and Industrial Finance - E-commerce (yes they are two subjects, actually four sandwiched into two).
There have been new additions to my role model list. Gautam Singhania and John D. Rockefeller. Well, let me make it clear, what I mean by role model is, that the thoughts and/or the style of working and/or philosophies of these people are what i would like to follow in the future, and hence they are my Role Models. Will write about the new ones in later posts.
These days I have been seeing, or rather listening to sounds created by a few* motor bikes on Mumbai roads.These are essentially old engines, souped up by the garage mechanics to create an annoying rattling sound. Now what they feel is, by souping up with the fuel line ports, they make this sound, which similar to the one made by a 1000cc bike, but as an engineer, its very easy to identify that this rattling sound is because of the fuel igniting earlier than it should, which creates a knock on the cylinder head(s), damaging the already bruised engines. They do not realise that in the 1000cc engines, its their shear power which make the heavy wroom sound. Improper engineering.

Improper engineering on the side of garage mechanics (obviously not the mass manufacturers!)
Well Japan did introduce a sports car in the US in the 1970s', this car was very fast, um... and only fast. It was very quiet and vibration free cause all the hard work of Japanese engineers. But the US market wanted their sports cars to make the inviting wroom sound , what the Japanese engineers did was souped the engine little and brought the wroom into their models. Now the market demanded for vibrations, a demand which was declined by the manufacturers, vibrations being an imperfection in engineering.
As Jeremy Clarkson says, Germans and Japanese engineers are not allowed to make mistakes, not allowed to go wrong anywhere.
Yes very true what u said. The motoring industry still has to come a long way here before we see street-cars and bikes the likes of which can be seen mostly on the internet or on TV. Although, on my recent trip to mumbai I did see many 'cosmetic' modified cars (by which I mean body kits and exhaust tips) which made some sort of a sound.....like a baby tiger or something....^_^. But its an improvement none the less and m hoping it dosent stop there.
