Audi's A3 TDI Recieves Top Honors in Los Angeles
2009-12-11 04:34:00 Every year, a group of hand selected judges come together and meticulously study the data from a handful of cars from around the world. After what I would assume to be much deliberation, they select a winner that goes well beyond the standards, depending on the category, to name as the car of the year. For 2009, Audi has managed to claim the title of Green car of the Year with their A3 TDI.

Want to feel like a VIP? Travel in time to Obama State Dinner (without cras
2009-12-09 14:27:00 Tiger Woods and Ambien have knocked last month's White House State Dinner gate-crashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi out of the media spotlight--but that doesn't mean that memories of President Barack Obama's first State Dinner have totally faded. Downtown Chicago's C-House Fish and Chips restaurant, owned by celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson and now run deliciously by new Executive Chef Nicole Pederson, will host a one-night-only re-creation of the menu Samuelsson created for the Obamas and hundreds of their closest (and not-so-close) friends, Hollywood supporters and political heavy-hitters. Pederson helped her boss create a seasonal, Indian-American-inspired menu in honor of India Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife, Gursharan Kaur. And on Wednesday, Dec. 9, C-House guests can dine just as the Obamas did...

Tie-up Fiesta – Spice Digital To SMS Ads And Travel Details To IRCTC
2009-11-25 07:50:00 IRCTC has come a long way in the e-commerce space in India since its estimated gross annual sales of Rs.3400 crore comprised 1/3rd of the total e-commerce industry worth Rs. 9000 crores in India. This time in news, IRCTC ties up with Spice Digital in an agreement which benefits both parties. So next time a user books a ticket online via IRCTC, he will receive an SMS which will consist of the booking details, such as the PNR (Passenger Name Record) number, the date of journey, class of travel, and originating & destination stations. IRCTC has been witnessing a healthy annual growth of 100% in the number of tickets sold through online initiatives which stood at 45 million tickets in FY’08. This literally means that Spice Digital’s move of bearing the costs of sending SMSes on behalf of IRCTC will have a formidable reach in terms of advertising. That’s right, without any extra charge levied to a user, and without IRCTC spending a single penny, a wholesome amount ...

Travel Deal*: Free Lodging Anywhere You Go
2009-11-09 16:00:00 Other than flights, your hotel will be one of the biggest cost factors for your vacation. One great way to save money on your hotel is to try to Couchsurfing. The first reaction I get from many people when I tell them about Couchsurfing - a website that connects travelers with people willing to offer them a couch, a floor, or in many cases, a spare bedroom with comfortable queen-sized bed - is "No way. I would never let a stranger stay in my house." If that's your first thought....you can probably stop reading now. But if the idea of connecting with locals around the globe, getting a free place to stay, and in return offering help in your own...

Pricebolo Ties Up With Ixigo – Price Comparison Comes To Travel Ticke
2009-10-23 07:27:00 I am sure you’ve done this before while street shopping – Bargain. Russell Peters once said that it’s in the blood of all Indians to bargain wherever they go shopping. Regardless of the country, irrespective of what they’re buying, getting the best deal becomes their eternal right. Well, that’s Peters’ opinion. But, to some extent it holds some truth, doesn’t it? And, why not flaunt it, yeah? If not bargaining, we at least compare the prices to make sure we’re not being harassed by our friends after spending extra money for something, unknowingly. Even travel tickets for that matter differ from airlines to airlines, travel agencies and so on. One such site allowing users to compare prices of commodities before buying them, tied up with a travel portal that aims at making travel related search easier.

November is the time to use it, particularly if you are looking at international destinations.

Flights from Chicago to Tokyo on US Airways are just $638 (they go up to $1600 the following week!). Flights to Istanbul are...

In The Salt Range
2009-10-21 04:47:00 The Salt Range derives its name from extensive deposits of rock salt. It stands as remnant of forts with bastions and temples. Exceptionally, this region maintains an almost continuous record of history that can define the evolution of society. Forts and temples surviving along the range are a reminder of how untouched many of the ancient remnants are. Alexander from Macedon came to this range twice: one from Taxila and later once his forces refused to go any further from the banks of the River Beas. From here he marched towards the Arabian Sea on his way to Babylon. And, now an NGO is constructing the monument of Alexander near Jalalpur town in the foot of the salt range in district Jhelum.For those who take their first chance to the area, the landscape all along the Salt Range is rock-strewn, lacking in softness and loveliness. In many parts, it becomes barren and uninviting. But, in truth the range is dotted with historical wonders, romantic legends, archaeological remains, and v...
