Math and cars?? :O

Man.....While talking about automobiles how losely we use terms such as power,torque,torsion etc.As a mechanical engineer it has taken me quite a while to figure out all that the number crunching,the head breaking formulaes and those assumptions u have to make most of the tym.Makes me wonder how much work goes into those small numbers we take for granted,while loosely discussing cars.Been in a design and fabrication project on cars recently I have begun to realise and respect them.

Btw,Does anyone knw how much BHP the new 'scud' has?? :D

A DECADE OF KARGIL:Remembering Our hero

What has come to be known as the Kargil War took place at Kargil from May 1 to July 26, 1999, a border war between India and Pakistan and the fourth in the series of such confrontations since the First Kashmir War of 1947-48. It was also India’s first televised war, whose extensive visual reportage created a overwhelming flow in the national psyche a mere decade or so ago. But much water has happened since then, perhaps diluting if not washing away its memory altogether. So now, a decade later, maybe it is once again time to remember Kargil 1999, to ruminate and retrospect on it in the broader context of events today.
