Buying a second hand car ..check these parameters
Being aware of a few key parameters will help you get a value-for-money deal. First, look at all the papers. Match the information on the papers with the one on the car. Four important things to match are the registration number, chassis number, engine number and colour.
If the car is over 15 years old, check the fitness certificate. The log of service history is another document that will help you judge the car. "Maintenance of service history deserves a premium," said Jayesh Jagasia, who used to run a used car verification and certification company, VeriCar.
Doors: To get a better value for their vehicle, many owners do basic repairs before selling the car. This includes covering scratches and dents. So, look for consistency of paint. Patches of irregular paint could mean repair for scratches or dents. "Such work brings down the price of the car," said Jagasia. The paint could also be done to cover rusting. The buyer should further check the underside of the vehicle and wheel wells for signs of rust. In case of rust, point it out to the owner and renegotiate the price. For a small car, a basic repair for rust can start at Rs 3,000 (for anti-rust coating) and go as high as Rs 10,000 (with a paint job).
Air-conditioner: Switch it on to assess if it cools well and does it quickly. In case of a problem with the AC, the repair cost can vary from Rs 1,500 (for gas issues) to over Rs 6,500 (for changing the condenser) for a small car.
Tyre: Check tyres for wear and tear. Replacing one bald tyre can cost you Rs 2,500-4,500 for small and medium segment cars. Tyres not worn out evenly can indicate misalignment. In this case, a repair can take Rs 1,000-1,200.
Suspension: If the paperwork and exteriors are satisfactory, move on to the mechanical aspects. Take a test drive. If the vehicle does not absorb jerks and jolts while passing over potholes, the suspension needs repair. Such work can cost at least Rs 5,000 and can go as high as Rs 15,000 (in case of excessive damage).
Brakes and clutch: The brake should not squeal and must stop the car in a sufficiently short distance. The cost of repair can range from Rs 2,500 to over Rs 15,000 in case parts such as brake boosters need replacement. Check clutch plates, too. In case of burnt ones, the cost of mending can be Rs 6,000-6,500.
Engine: This is the most important aspect. Start by checking oil quality and consumption. While taking a test drive, keep an ear on the engine sound. Knocking, tapping or rattling noises indicate excessive wear of internal engine parts. Any problems with the engine, look for another car.
There are chances that you may come across a car that satisfies you on all these parameters but the manufacturer has discontinued the model. The running cost of such a car may put a strain on your wallet as spares may be expensive.
While these checks can give you basic understanding of the car, experts said it was always advisable to take a trusted mechanic to judge a used car. "A mechanic can understand essential areas such as the condition of an engine and if the car has an accident history. The feedback can help you negotiate better," said a Maruti car dealer.
Financing your used car purchase
The interest rate for a used car is high, compared to a new one. The State Bank of India [ Get Quote ] (SBI) rate is around 15 per cent and HDFC Bank [ Get Quote ] around 18 per cent. Mahindra First Choice have tied up with banks and offers loans from Mahindra Finance, too. But, this is slightly expensive than other banks, informed an executive at the showroom.
Every bank has its own restrictions on lending for a used car. Most of the bank finance excludes registration-related cost. This means a person would need to spend from his pocket for transferring the vehicle. If the car belongs to another state, the buyer will need to shell out extra for octroi and other charges.
Further, the borrower will need to pay 0.5 ?1 per cent of the loan as processing fees.
The repayment period for most banks, like HDFC Bank, is restricted to five years. SBI is one of the very few banks giving loans for seven years, too. However, the rate of interest may increase with a higher loan tenure.
Finance companies have restriction on the age and model of cars, too. SBI does not lend for cars older than five years. HDFC Bank lends if the car is less than 10 years old. And, lenders do not finance for car models that manufacturers have discontinued.
Getting the right dealer
Your mechanic's garage is not the only place to check if you want to buy a used car. Almost all car manufacturers are foraying into the second-hand car market. Over 100 checks are done on a used car before it is put on sale. The cars also come with free services (around three in the first-year alone) and a year's warranty on engine, gearbox and suspension.
Corporate dealers procure cars that satisfy certain parameters. For example, a car should be less than seven years old. Vehicles that have met accidents or were damaged in floods are rejected. However, all these services involve money and they tend to push the car's cost up.
Also, small dealers act like brokers. Sellers bring their car and put these on sale at their showrooms. They hard-sell the vehicle for a commission without doing any checks on it. But, the scope for negotiation with an unorganised player is much more than with a corporate dealer.
The latter would only give small discounts, such as free registration and insurance or may offer a cash discount of Rs 7,000?10,000, depending on the car.
Also, in some cases, an unorganised player can work out to be cheaper, offering the same quality as the organised one. Always take along either a reliable mechanic or a car expert to evaluate the condition of the four-wheelers displayed.

Ratan Tata .. leadership example
One of Mr. Ratan N Tata's (RNT) first assignments was the stewardship of the ailing electronics company in the Tata portfolio - Nelco.
Story goes that a team of senior managers from Nelco was driving to Nasik along with RNT. Halfway into the journey, the car had a flat tyre, and as the driver pulled up, the occupants - including Mr. Tata - got off for a comfort break, leaving the driver to replace the tyre.
Some of the managers welcomed the forced break, as it allowed them a much-needed chance to light up a cigarette. Some used the opportunity to stretch, and smile, and share a joke. And then, one of them suddenly noticed that Mr. Tata was not to be seen, and wondered aloud where Ratan Tata might have vanished!
Was he behind some bush?
Had he wandered off inside the roadside dhaba for a quick cup of tea?
Or was he mingling with some passer-bys, listening to their stories?
None of these, in fact, while his colleagues were taking a break, Ratan Tata was busy helping the driver change tyres. Sleeves rolled up, tie swatted away over the shoulder, the hands expertly working the jack and the spanner, bouncing the spare tyre to check if the tyre pressure was ok. Droplets of sweat on the brow, and a smile on the face.
At that moment, the managers accompanying Ratan Tata got a master class in Leadership they haven't forgotten.
And that's a moment that the driver of that car probably hasn't forgotten either!
Questions to ask:
· When was the last time I rolled up my sleeves to do a task much below my hierarchy?
· Do I wait for the big opportunity to showcase my leadership?
· Is that big opportunity ever going to come?
· Am I trying to manage upwards so much that I've lost the feel of the field?
Ideas for action:
· Humility is the essence of success. Be humble and even teach your children to be so.
· To reach the top and remain there, always start from the bottom, else your days at the top will not last long.
· Practice leadership in small things instead of waiting for the big crisis or a major product launch.
· Seek to find opportunities to lead in everyday moments.
· Build your leadership skills one baby step at a time.
· When one’s hands get dirty - The mind remains clean!!

Jan Ahar ..Janata Ahar ..Food from Indian railways
I recently had from the Jan Ahar ...Janatha Ahar in Secunderabad Station.I entered the store just to test the quality of food indian railways gives for such low price.It is a small store compared to the other food counter next to it.There were few dishes avilable there like
Poori -- 10 Rs
Lemon rice -- 10rs
Curd Rice -- 10rs
Water bottles
Mango Frooti - around rs 8 to rs 9 (less than MRP)
Coffee/Tea
I took poori , to my suprise they gave me around 6 pooris with potato curry and pickle in a well packed box.
They were more worth than the money i put.
From then i started to have food from Jan Ahar.I could see the number of people who were coming to Jan Ahar increasing ...
I tasted lemon rice next time it was far better than the food which is served in my office canteen (i work for Software company)
Softdrinks are cheap than MRP price.They also have Instant Noodles.
Try Jan Ahar next time ..but remember to throw the waste in dustbin.

Cancer causing habits
1.. Hot Dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.
2. Processed meats and Bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.
3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.
4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. . They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

liver damaging habits
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3 . Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil.
As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit..
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.'
