In today’s world where everyone is becoming net savvy,making money while browsing does make some sense,hence making use of one’s time along with doing some creative work and also enjoying along with it is what I am going to talk about in this post of mine.

While browsing some of the sites related to this topic I came across Robert’s site which shares the same convictions as I do.He too was a simple guy who got interested in making online.He started with 0$ in his pocket and now earns around 1000$ per month.Seems like a fairytale but you better believe it.

He started earning from ebay by buying and selling stuff and earning some profits from that.Getting a head-start he headed into the domain selling business and managed to sell domains and making good profits from there.He managed to get hold a good site for only 40$ and then auctioned it for 125$ on another site…Thats pretty good thinking..

As you can already see,one doesn’t require the skills or a programmer to earn big bucks but just some research and you are on your way.

But this wasn’t the end of his success story…He started a website and soon it became popular and it still earning around 500$ per month from Google Adsense and also by doing other jobs.

Hence it is not a difficult task to make money but the magnitude of your earnings reflect the amount of hard work you are willing to put into it.

I had been contemplating of visiting this revolving restaurant called Parikrama situated in Connaught Place for a long time but due to my exams I had been postponing it.But finally after my IIT-JEE paper I decided to go there with my family.

It is located at the top of Antariksha Bhawan on the 24th Floor and offers a magnificent picturesque view of Delhi.I had been wondering how fast the revolution would be but that was laid to rest soon as I finally managed to get a table in this highly popular restaurant.The restaurant revolves pretty slowly and the motion is imperceptible unless you observe your surroundings very carefully.

The menu had quite a number of items to choose from but we zeroed in on a couple of starters but it took around 20-25 mins. for the food to delivered..that was really slow service.The food was good but I have tasted better food elsewhere.The outside view offers good company along with the chirpy environment of the restaurant.The lighting in the restaurant was dim and it did feel a bit gloomy at times..

The service was slow throughout and it took us around one and a half hour to get through with it.In the meantime we had completed a full revolution.The restaurant has put up descriptions of various historical sites of Delhi too.

Overall  it was a different ad enjoyable experience but certainly better food and better service could have made it much more enjoyable considering the rates are too on the higher side.

Its been over 3 months now since I purchased Zen Estilo.I have managed to drive it around for over 2500Kms now and after its first servicing which was about a couple of months back the car is giving an average/mileage of around 18kmpl with normal unleaded fuel.With petrols of higher octane number like Xtra Premium etc. I have managed to extract a mileage of 20kmpl..

These numbers clealy signify that Zen Estilo beats its competitors ie. mainly Santro Xing and Wagon R which have a mileage of around 15.5kmpl and 16kmpl respectively.The tweaking that the Maruti engineers have done with the engine has certainly helped along with improved aerodynamics.

I  also managed to experience the A/C of the car as it continues to become sultry hot here in Delhi while I write this down :).The A/C works like a charm and cools the car in a matter of about 4-5 mins. The average with air conditioning on is about 17kmpl with Xtra Premium on the city roads.On highways I am pretty sure that it can go upto 18.5kmpl.

So Zen Estilo has clearly emerged the winner in both performance and economy segments in the small car or the budget car category.With Chevrolet Spark coming up and the proposed 1-Lac car by the Tatas, it remains to be seen for how long can it maintain that tag.
