Manual Transmission(Manual) vs Automatic Transmission(Auto)
Guys, answer me how much you enjoy driving manual cars as everytime you slow down or stop you have to switch to 1st gear. Damn! you hate it obvioulsy if you have the better option of switching to auto.
I reckon auto is so awesome with very good pick up speed. Recently when I started driving auto car, I was amazed with the transmission. It was so good and I had to worry about the steering and forget clutch!
But going over the internet and doing some RnD I found that manual has better mileage,average. But if you see the brighter side, look at the ease at driving auto cars.
I loved it anyway. I drived Ford Falcon G6 at top speed of 140 kmph which was momentary though. Average speed being 90-100 kmph. the experience was awesome.
After not having driven much with manual cars, my transition from manual to auto was gr8.
But in India most of vehicles are with manual transmission due to the cost of living. People go for cheaper cars.
Even I own a manual car in India. ;-) So that proves it!
But I won't be surprised if we would be switching to auto cars totally.
Sorry to manual lovers who drive all day to office/work with one hand constantly on gearbox :)
PS : Default Speed limit is 100 kmph for Driving on roads of Victoria. So don't tell anyone about this!!

My take on Accents and Slangs!!
Learning different accents and slangs is so cool. slangs, infact! As learning an accent doesn't make sense sometimes. It comes out automatically and I love it when it does!
Accents :
I have been in Australia and its kinda cool over here. One funny thing about aussie accent is that "Australia" is seldom pronounced as it spells :-) Its pronounced AUSTRAYA in an aussie accent! but sounds great, believe me! And if you wanna say "G'day mate" which is a very common aussie greeting. pronounce it as "good eye mite" ;-)
I found aussie accent cooler than UK's baak(back) and Maanchester(Manchester)!! I have been closely monitoring UK and aussie accent and found very easy to differentiate.
Slangs:
Slangs have always fascinated me wherever I go.They make you so into their culture and make you feel more familiar wth the local community.After speaking the "Mumbaiya" slang from Mumbai(India) for years from my childhood which was great fun,I am really finding aussie slang interesting too.Everything becomes short in aussie.
As Australian becomes aussie, breakfast becomes brekkie, present - prezzy,document - doco and so on.
Thats it from me!not a masterpiece but am getting there.
So if you see your mate going to a bottle shop to buy a slab(a carton of 24 bottles/cans of beer), that would be very much Australian ;-)

Spiderman in you!
Was heading towards office today morning and got late. I don't know where this thought came to my mind but I wished I could jump from one tower to another like Spiderman and go to work.
I would be at work in no time and wud never get late. I was constantly looking at my hand and thinking of if I could use Web to get hold of the huge building in front of me on Collins street. Silly me.! It was never gonna happen. But my thoughts were flying high. And I reached my office eventually on Bourke street :)
As I reached my office all thoughts were cleared off my mind like we format a USB flash drive to get rid of the data in it(geeky example I know). But that was my state of mind and started thinking about work. :(
Sometimes we know that we are being silly and unrealistic,still we imagine things and try to get ourselves in similar situations like the one above. Luckily I din't run in the middle of the road and try to hold the tower with my web(silly again), I would have been run over by a car or tram. But I didn't mind giving a thought about it.
Have you been in such situation anytime?

Guy Girl Talk 2
Girl : what is IDK?
Guy : I Don't Know!
Girl : Nobody knows, I've been asking this to everyone I met.
Guy : LOL

Life is a compromise..??
I guess most of you guys believe in this statement. And those who don't let me ask you how many things have you compromised till now. And I would get lot of answers if you are true enuf to yourself
Compromising is not bad if it gives happiness to your loved ones and eventually to urself
But I don't think you should keep on doing it all the time. Because the time comes when you are fed up of it and shout "Give me a change..!!"
So, what is the solution to this?
Do we make a compromise when it is beneficial to us and act mutually understanding where in back of our mind we know we are a bit selfish.
I am not a very gud blogger but this thought has been bugging me from past few days and sharing it with ya' all will bug you either :)
