I have few criteria on which the latest cars are being designed and innovated to share with the discerning YOU.

The moment of inertia is greater if your car has bigger wheels. More so if the wheels are heavier. Good when the KE of braking would be converted into PE(Potential Energy) & stores. Drag is being reduced by reducing the number of wheels to 3-funny isn't it-ulta socho-the car has 2 wheels on front and one on back-lol.

Battery is a major field of research in major companies so better-eyes.

In today's situation for the crammed traffic and bad roads, you need a car with at least 12" road clearance. 7" in most cases don't suffice and practically even a 4" high brick/stone can strike the base.

WagonR is most successful because of less width but small wheels. The RVM can ensure a better reversal. The tall RVM of wagonR should have been in other cars too.

Aerodynamic shapes are good for high speeds to reduce air drag. Elliptical and fish shaped of verna has been excellent in mid-level segment. A major car company is seamless integrating these features which can flash Indian market in 2 years(best my wishes).

Cars are also being designed with just over 300 components instead of usual 5000 or so. Would love comments-good or other-wise. No doubt cars can be one person front too-easy maneuvering and road-ability.

So next time you come tired after a drive, read this post once more. I am sure it will change your perspective on cars. BMW and NASA are attracting ideas from we-people by contests.

One more point-buying a car with automatic transmission is not a bad option-even a WagonR has it and we never knew.

Dreams have started. Multi use buildings save maximum energy. For ground-relation getting sun, air & other supplies matter. Orientations & privacy are important. A poly-box should be volume constraint. It really matters to THINK future and expressing.

I offer proactive assistance for owners, developers and professionals to know more about earthquake resistance. I have been designing buildings for earthquake resistance before my graduation. The requirements of the house and plot shape may govern various geometrical orders so it is best advised to consult qualified structural engineers.

The primary factor to be kept in mind is to make the building symmetrical and have at least a 3�3 grid keeping the middle somewhat more. L-shaped columns (fabricated casts) on the corners make the structure economical. The size of columns may be slightly more in lower floors.

Relevance of plinth beams is important since it holds the structure.

Walls should have beams every 4-6 times it's thickness. This holds the masonry.

Deep beams are economical & bond with columns. The roof slab should be a bit arched or cambered one. Suitable scaffolding is available in local building centres like TERI.

In high rise buildings, stilts should be 25% thicker.

Future is not what we empower, it is what we really dream. And direct communication channels.

Our roads are like our nerves, so let's make them smooth like a river. Let's make them moving-Much like our conveyors and let them stop naturally like in a portal. Won't it save fuel? On segregation portal, we need to work hard on comforting defined level of commuters like the above. This can be started by designing nodes.

Let these accelerate & brake in the physics governs us: Distance vs displacement:Speed vs velocity. What for we commute has to be understood in depth, it maybe a emergency or just a cool holiday. Much like the curves we design & program.

Coming to where these transit zones are located. Obviously on connected crests-no farms, no floods and better interconnectivity. Orient these avoiding head on sun making the solar collection on greater area.

I am sharing the basic house planning principles. Consult your architect to incorporate these in you home plan. We practice the same as "Vastu-Shastra" in India.

1.Make the room approx 2:3 ratio-This not only makes the room look good, but improves the flexibility in usage
2.Try to consolidate doors-Try to bunch all the doors-from other rooms, external and internal-so that you have continuous furniture keeping space,
3. Alternate side windows-on opposite walls are the best-to create cross ventilation and health.
4.Kitchen Location-Should be opposite to prevailing wind direction.
5.Toilet Location-Should be away from kitchen and preferably on the cross wind corners.
6.L-shaped, long and irregular rooms impair the functionality of the house. Please consult your architect.
7.Try to scribble movable routes from room to room for all and ask your architect to minimize the circulation area.
8.Divide the house into 3 zones-Public, family and private. 1 & 3 should be exclusive.

Apart from feudalism, intellectual clash is harming humanity. Here little intelligent people gather together and harm the society unknowingly. Since schooling intelligent people are taught to be proud and egoistic about their knowledge. Discouraged non-intellectual people look on the practical side of life leaving intelligent people frustrated. This discouragement starts from the parental level that you are nothing leaving the dejected minds thinking that they are also something. They have choices-best to lead the life in a middle way, next to snatch things of others to prove worth and worst to go to powerful positions to expand their circle of influence.

Although some intellectuals are most successfully practical as they don't tend to harm anybody. When geniuses grow they think they are superior not only to people with lesser IQ but also to people similar to them and are actually alone in their own world, which creates imbalance. A feeling of revenge starts growing in them that how come others are so social and I am not. Every problem in the world relates to these behavioral patterns of human psyche.

Let's redo our Earth.

Let's plan our habitations high rise in non-cultivable terrain linking ridges by highways (some kind of survey is required) and try to put 60% of that land under trees and why not go in for self-sustainability and don't dump our wastes.

Let's ask our sweepers not to burn garbage.

Simply start planting more trees everywhere & weave a golden future for our coming generations. Otherwise wonder their survival in this holocaust?
