Rising Tempers

This is that time of year when people get angry.

Empty coffers. Lackadaisical (old) sponsors. Flagging faiths. Abortive efforts. Crumbling patience. Obdurate (potential) sponsors. Dwindling humour. Waning concentrations. Rising tempers.

Ok, I am tired of looking up thesaurus.com now.

Things aren't exactly moving along in fast-forward. They are just moving along.

A century of BS

This the 100th post on this blog.

So, let me take some time off from this rant about Kaar and Primus; about automobiles and energy efficiency. Let me take the time off to drink to something I should have been doing all along. Me!

Nope. I'am just kidding. Because, that's what I am always doing anyway.

But here is an ode - I hope it's an ode because I don't know what an ode is - to me writing on a page no one visits, doing propaganda on a medium no one buys and ruminating over things no one cares about.

Here is an ode to me for making it to a 100 despite first anticipating, then realizing and then knowing that this is where only the dead visit; and the dead don't visit blogs.

...talking of which, I just realized that I haven't posted any picture as to how the new Kaar and Primus look like...

The new Kaar design, which may not be implemented this year as we try to lay more emphasis on vehicle reliability and driveline issues.

Primus inter pares, according to manager Sohaib. The wheels here aren't the real ones.

PS: the information in the last post was not correct :-P

Body Update

PRIMUS AND KAAR BODY UPDATE: Preliminary talks held with an alumnus of EME at a fiberglass firm for technical help in the manufacture of both or one of the bodies for our projects.

INVENT 2011 -ing

With the greater goal of making what we make for the market - and the common man - in mind, we at EMENENTS consider exploring the business potential of our projects an integral part of our work.

In this view, both Kaar and Primus have been registered for IBA's INVENT 2011, after the great success of Kaar in INVENT's inaugural year last time round. INVENT is possibly - I am not sure - Pakistan's first nationwide, and biggest, business plan competition.

The idea details can viewed at the INVENT website - links given below:
Kaar
Primus

An old Dawn to lift up new hearts

That doesn't make much sense, does it?

Anyway, a video from last year. Kaar got coverage in Dawn News, and all we could manage was this low-def video. With work gaining momentum this year, it is hoped that this will help inspire...me :-)

The new march

PRIMUS UPDATE: Orders for Battery and Motor have been placed. The stuff is expected in about 3 weeks.

The march to SEM 2011 has physically begun.
