</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/karthika/~3/WuGMZNzBagw/pub</link><description>I made this &lt;a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pQYHRLYeYKRdlrKthkyJ-eA"&gt;new car delivery checklist&lt;/a&gt; when buying my Tata Tata Indigo CS LS. My experience with the car is ok for its price, but the quality of interiors and attention to detail is seriously lacking. Please feel free to use the checklist whenever you buy a car in India - I would have been a lot worse shape without it.For excel version .xls &lt;a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pQYHRLYeYKRdlrKthkyJ-eA&amp;output=xls"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;

Why is &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_Kerkorian"&gt;Kirk Kerkorian&lt;/a&gt;, who earlier burnt fingers with DCX investing? (BTW he did change the MGM from Movies to Hotels... maybe he'd change these too?)&lt;br /&gt;

<item><title>Price - Is it worth dicussing this long?</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/karthika/~3/r_badjt0vUg/Newsarticle.asp</link><description>Nice statistics and definitely not surprising.

Surely there must be a better way.&lt;br /&gt;
