Chevrolet Sail U-VA Review

Chevrolet Sail U-VA is the latest hatchback GM has launched in India.They did this because of technical help from the chinese automobile company SAIC.The chinese hatchback was indianified and launched here.Petrol and Diesel versions are launched at the same time because because of mismanagement in indian oil industry petrol is sold at a higher price than diesel.So there is a trend for car buying to move to diesel cars.

Design

It looks like a chinese hatchback since it is one.Chevrolet trademark grill and emblem on front is beautiful.Body line starting from wheel arch makes it look like a big car.Rearview mirrors are body coloured.Front/ Rear windows are large.Rear view look of the car is uninspiring and looks old.

Interiors are simply designed and aimed at practicability.Central console contains a combination of analog and digital metres.Central console is dual tone with grey as dominant colour. Inbuilt music system has bluetooth connectivity.Three spoked steering wheel has a negative thing about it.Only if you press on the chevrolet + symbol the horn make noise.Power window switches are near gear knob.Dashboard is at par with that of new generation cars.Travelling in front seats is very comfortable and spacious.Rear seats are also good quality and traveling in them comfortable.Lot of leg space and head space.Company says there is a boot space of 248 litres.By folding the rear seats, we get lot of space.There is a small storage space beneath the seats too.

Engine Review

1.3 SDE (small diesel engine ) that maruti and tata uses in their cars is the engine that drives Sail too.But Chevrolet must have tweaked it 1248 cc diesel engine has 77 bhp power.Petrol car is powered by 1199 cc four cylinder engine.It's power is 85 bhp.The main difference between petrol and diesel models is in gear shifting patterns.In diesel version, reverse gear is upward like in a Fiat.In petrol version, reverse gear is in normal position only.

Driving experience is good.Vehicle offers good stability at higher speeds.Little turbo lag is there in diesel engine but not to worry since it offers good performance except in the low range.Without downshifting, moving powerfully was possible on many occasions.Gear shifting is smooth and braking works.This car is good enough to compete with the premium hatchback heavyweights.

ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA’S VOTERS ID CARD DUPLICATE APPLICATION PROCESS

I lost my voter id card issued by the election commission of india. I lost it along with the driving license in 2007. I took Duplicate Driving Licence from the same RTO in 2008.Now I have been postponing the efforts to take duplication voters id card due to various reasons. One election came in between and election people were giving duplicates but I didn’t went. Now local body election happens in Kerala. So I got an information that the election department at the Tehsil (Taluk) office is starting to issue duplicate voter id cards from 08.10.2010.So I drove to mavelikkara yesterterday in my Astar and it was raining heavily. I reached there and find a long queue of people.Since I have completed the form before hand, I just need to find my card id number and put the data and place in it.A person employed there took my application form and he checked the number of my family member in the kiosk in the same room. The kiosk terminal didn’t showed my number. So he forwarded my application

Generate your online e-aadhaar card easily

Aadhaar Demystified Aadhaar ,meaning foundation in indian languages, has become a hall of shame or an object of inconvenience for the common man (aam aadmi). Despite a prominent personality like Mr. Nandan Nilekani at it's helm, India's aadhaar project is an epic fail. UIDAI or unique Identification Authority of India is a ghost body created by the central government.It is yet to get complete legal and constitutional status to discriminate people by providing gas subsidy {LPG subsidy for domestic use} only to aadhaar holders. Why India needed an ID System? India was in the dark about it's own citizen.Infiltration from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Srilanka happens all the time.Politicians provide illegal immigrants (a large chunk are run away criminals and terrorists) with indian election id cards inexhange of votes / money. Some crooks were eating up subsidies designed to reach deserving common man [aam aadmi] by forging fake documents and multiple accounts.
