Riding Motorcycle in Rainy Season

There is an old saying that if you don't ride when the weather is bad, you don't ride.But this holds good mostly in books and countryside slang. I suggest all motorcycle rider to avoid riding in bad weather.
Especially Rainy season proved to be really challenging and risky. However I am mentioning following tips for folks who cannot avoid such climate and goes on the tracks:

Speed kills traction- hence avoid high speeds
Avoid all sudden moves - strong changes in speed or direction can cause the motorcycle to skid.
- Accelerate smoothly, Change gears smoothly, Turn smoothly
- Use both brakes gradually and smoothly while stopping
Maintain a larger gaps with other vehicles in traffic- to allow more time to react
Slow at turns minimize the skidding of motorcycle.
Wear proper rain gear. Staying dry and warm will help a rider focus their attention on controlling their vehicle instead of thinking about their discomfort.
As water accumulates on your motorcycle helmet visor, alternate turning your head from the right to the left (while keeping your eyes forward). This will allow the force of the wind to blow the rain drops off our of your field of vision.

Poor Ministers: Part 1 (Dr. Manmohan Singh)

Indian Ministers I am starting this series to analyze the assets (and liabilities) declared recently by the cabinet ministers of India. This post would also highlight few of the interesting observations that came out from these documents. And to begin with, none other than our honorable Prime Minister can hold the number one position in this series. I am trying to focus on the position capabilities versus their declared assets /liabilities( if any) of various cabinet members. Prime Minister of India (2011): Dr. Manmohan Singh (born 26 September 1932) The prime minister is the most senior minister of cabinet in the executive branch of government in a parliamentary system.

Dr. Manmohan Singh is among the few dignitary members who finally

Poor Ministers: Part 2 (Mr. A. K. Antony)

The man behind the US’ dismay for not signing the Logistics Support Agreement (LSA), Communication Interoperability and Security Memorandum Agreement (CISMOA) and Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement for Geo-Spatial Cooperation (BECA), Mr. Arackaparambil Kurien Antony, is indeed the real ‘One-man army’ . Recently it was noticed that Mr. Antony belongs to the singleton set in the cabinet, who comes under the “BPL category” ( sarcasm ). “BPL” is the only term that I could think of after going through the complete list of assets declared by his other peer ministers. But, after going through his achievements/positions held, one can, in no way, dream to underestimate him. The following list of positions can mesmerize any aspiring politician: “1970-77, 1977-79, 1995-96, 1996-2001 and 2001-05Member, Kerala Legislative Assembly 1977-78, 1995-96, 2001-04 Chief Minister, Kerala April 1985- Elected to Rajya Sabha April 1991- Re-elected to Rajya Sabha 199

You get into an organization and it make sure that you stay there and make the Organization efficient and profitable. The day starts when one finds himself/herself in a place which seems like a Gurukul of early times. Its the perfect time to keep all your second thoughts aside and reap the learning from nature. The corporates call it Outbound Training/learning.
