In the 90s, it was mostly Amabassadors and Maruti 800s. What are the popular cars of the 2010s?
Follow-up question. Are automatic transmissions getting increasingly popular in India?

I dunno the 2010 but when I was just out of college... Mid 2000 santro was a rage and my dream car too

Was it because the Santro was not too big for Indian roads but more powerful than the 800 or even a Zen?
|
|
|
|
|
I remember there were two versions of Zen. One was more powerful than the Santro, and the other wasn't as powerful.

TBHP has generally an answer for all your car related questions (at least from an Indian perspective). Here's something that might interest you (June 2017 figures): June 2017 : Indian Car Sales Figures & Analysis - Team-BHP[^]
It's not surprising to see that the top 5 are small hatchbacks, as it's been the most popular segment since I could remember. Manufacturers could get away with delivering crap cars when compared to the international standards as the majority of the populace only cares about "mileage" and nothing else. As a result, enthusiasts suffer as things like an M3 or an Evo would be considered exotics and would warrant a sky-high price to buy and maintain.

Anyone following Bihar fiasco of #MahaThugsBandhan!?
'Con'gress led Mahagathbandhan seems breaking bit by bit and no one is there to damage control, not even Congress VP Rahul Gandhi can save collapsing grand alliance.
First Nitish kumar ditched corrupt alliance with Lallu and Pappu and formed government in Bihar with their 17 years old allies BJP.
Very next day Gujarat 6 Congress MLA resigns and Joins BJP then today 3 SP members resigns. Everyone is leaving congress & supportive B parties like rats jumping away from the sinking ship.
According to media presstitutes, Bihar fiasco for Congress was killer blow for their hopes to come back in 2019 LS election. Touching moment was to see senior journalists still hankering around Lalu prasad yadav like he's political savior of Grand Alliance and for the same media morons Three days ago Nitish Kumar was super secular and messiah who became communal & corrupted instantly.
Congress is in fully capable hands of VP who guarantees to dismental entire Sickular Alliance in upcoming months just doing nothing. Popcorn time for NDA.
You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

Flash was awesome for a while, but its time is long gone. I cannot wait for it to be obsolete.

[Edit] - I've read the article and multiple other articles before on this, just want to know your opinion, do you had a pet peeve or a bad experience (or multiple experiences) with Flash.[/Edit]
Nish Nishant wrote: I cannot wait for it to be obsolete.
Any particular reasons?
I never developed professionally on Flash (ActionScript). I did try hello world apps on Actionscript years ago (15 or more) and also when there was Adobe ColdFusion.
Those days we still had VBScript for webpages (IE) and ASP (IIS) so that's a long time ago, and actionscript didn't seem much different... or much worse but I'm not sure.
Just wondering whether it's more political (as in bringing in HTML5 for web dev) or financial (Adobe charging hefty amounts in licensing fees for using their products) or are there technical reasons for flash going out of vogue?
One more reason could be that, with most browsers stopping support for plugin based platforms (like Unity3D and Flash) it's become more unproductive to work with these.
Unity3D has started (and is already well on its way to) exporting apps into html5 and webassembly. Not sure why Adobe isn't going for that approach with Actionscript.
I've read about security concerns, but has that ever stopped people from using platforms?
I've also read about people complaining how ActionScript isn't a real OOP language, but then the do the same about Javascript (I actually like Javascript, especially the functional aspects of it. It is fun to play around with.)
Just curious.

I dislike it as a user, not as a Flash developer.
- it's insecure - lots of Flash based malware
- flash content is not searchable
- not keyboard friendly
- not tablet/mobile friendly
- often impacts browser performance
- used by popup ads and other annoying ads/spam
- slows down HTML5 adoption
Just a few reasons off the top of my head.

Ah! Ok. Fair enough.

Hated Flash since the Macromedia days, since 2001 or so.

Agree with you. Even I hated Flash on web. But in 2004, it was a nice animation software. I used to create some cute little animations using that one while working in a company. Two web designers were sitting next to my seat & their machines had Flash version 5. I learnt Flash little bit & played well. Too bad I didn't copy those treasure(animations) from there.

I will be going to India in a week for a short vacation. Can someone confirm this
1) while in Delhi airport, If you land in international airport and if you have to take Indigo flight, I have to go to another building ( Meaning I have to go outside the international airport , take some taxi/bus/train etc)
2) Where in India can you buy Iphone? Only online store?
cheers,
Super

1) Most probably yes, can't confirm but there are high chances as you will land on Terminal 3(T3) and to board Indigo flight you have to go to T1/T1D. Taxi services at both airports are widely available so install Uber and Ola before you land.
2) There are several authorized Apple stores exists in metro cities or you can buys it from retail chains like Croma or The Mobile Store, so there is no such dependency of online store.

For what it's worth, it's an enormous airport and I nearly missed a connecting flight as I was taking it lightly, loitering and eating various things at the stalls until I realized I was near gate 3 and I needed to get to gate 57 or something.
I ran like a madman with my bags and trolley, and reached just as they were announcing my name for "last call for boarding" in the PA system.

Probably needs a transit Visa to go through New Delhi.

That's the good one. I am not sure how many here would understand this unless they have been watching our discussion

There is but its too costly.... and my end destination is always Trivandrum . So I prefer to have a break and 4 hours flight than having a 1 hour flight..

You may have mentioned this in the past, but do you have family in Trivandrum?

Tirunelveli (which is close to trivandrum), if my memory is not too bad.
