Recent series of hikes on the petrol price has augmented the gap between the Petrol & Diesel prices by around Rs.25. The impact as know, automobile industry witnessed rocketing sales of diesel passenger cars and plummeting sales of petrol cars. This came as a wallop to the auto companies. The finance ministry has stepped in and is planning to exploit the situation of rocketing diesel car sales by imposing excess excise duty on the passenger diesel cars. The expected hike may vary from Rs.80000 to Rs.150000. This is mostly to be sealed off in the coming 2012 budget session. Thus inflated govt. revenues are to be passed on to petroleum companies to cover their losses.

After my last minor accident , i didn't face any fender bender in past 2 -3 years. But, last monday was the day for another accident. I WAS AFRAID OF DOGS. But now, I HATE DOGS. Its a bright monday after Sankranthi festival. Expecting relative less traffic as it was a long weekend, i started to office expecting another routine day. I use my loyal bike for my daily commute to office . From my home, i have to pass by a construction site and some bushes to get on to the main road which takes me to jntu x roads.
