A Coach To Save Fuel - Going Green

Recently I came across an App which when installed in one's mobile analyses the driving pattern and provide tips to save fuel.

Just Reminds me of the Fuel Coach Feature in Quester trucks which also does a similar job.

In the Quester’s display the driver gets real-time tips on how to operate the engine for best fuel economy based on many parameters collected from the vehicle and analysing the driving pattern. The display shows the driver when to shift,brake or accelerate for maximum time in the engines optimum fuel-efficient rev range,the so called sweet spot. The system is simple to understand and easy to use. 

I wish such a system features in a two wheelers soon 
which will encourage two wheelers on road and avoid traffic jams especially in Bangalore.

Are the Two Wheeler OEMs listening?

Filmfare's Fair

Come Jan , Feb , we usually get to see Award programmes being telecast across all the TV channels in India. 

It usually starts with Best people from technical arena of film making, People behind the cameras and finally best actors, actress with loads and loads of dance and drama. Although its entertaining to watch, When I think over , the artists are being awarded for doing their job and for being good at it relative to other artists. Also there is life time achievement award meant for very senior artist who would have created a distinction for themselves in the industry.

I wonder why in no other industry is there an award ceremony of such grandeur.

An award for the best engineer, best doctor, best  teacher , best designer, best product, best architect and so on are all bound with in the organizational limits and not the wide industrial limits such as the entertainment. 

May be the fact that entertainment is more revenue generating and artists are here to entertain in the name of award functions also using different medias..
