It is the same engine that is employed
But make no mistake that this is actually a brand new car.The A4, being a bestseller from Audi, clearly has to remain updated to retain that position. The brakes provide plenty of stopping power and great feel and are also fitted with the brake energy regeneration system.The suspension setup is on the stiffer side but yet the ride is pliant and forgiving. The car looks bigger than it used to yet weighs 95kg less. The bigger potholes do make themselves heard but are rarely felt. There’s no dab of revs or drama, it's quite straight forward. But Audi has given eight shortcut buttons that you can assign to any function you like so you can have all your preferences at a touch of a button. But where the other three have specific focus areas, the A4 attempts to be a balancing act between comfort and spirited driving and succeeds to a certain extent.
Then there’s the MMI system which has experienced some growth, literally. It rides well, is comfortable to be in and fun if not exhilarating to drive. The luxury quotient has gone up as well. It might not sound like much but it does dish out 150PS of power and 250Nm of torque, impressed yet It is the same engine that is employed in numerous VW cars and frankly it was only a matter of time before it came to this segment. We expect it to be between Rs 35 to Rs 42 lakhs ex-showroom, Delhi. The car we got was the 30 TFSI which employs a considerably smaller 1.Step inside the cabin and it feels different yet quite familiar.Aesthetically you'll notice that it doesn't look radically different from the current A4. What we got instead was a linear and smooth delivery of torque right up to its powerband at 5,000rpm. The shifts are sharper Italy Plugs
and almost instantaneous, pull a paddle and the tacho needle starts to dance while the engine sings a brilliant note. There was a sense of urgency from the engine but there was no pushed-in-the-seat drama. But as far as in car technology goes, it is far ahead of its competition. And the upped notch is more to do with technology than anything else. It can seat four in comfort as the space in the cabin has increased but seating five is a challenge and the under thigh support also could have been better. Also, it is one of the best displays you’ll come across in modern day luxury cars.
The scroller knob also doubles up as a touchpad for easy access to contact lists. Also, finding the right driving position will take up a fair bit of setting up and once you do, do remember to save it in the memory. The overall familiarity of the design is to keep the identity of the A4 intact, you cannot mistake it for any other car and it looks rather elegant in form.The driver's perch is decently comfortable. The screen now measures 12.Put your foot down however and keep the needle in the peak torque band and the A4 responds accordingly. The acceleration is borderline undramatic but relentless. They flank the 3D grille which is in tune with Audi's new design philosophy. Though the headroom is ample all around, taller driver (6’2 upwards) could feel restrained. Speaking of which, the tail lamps are new and redesigned as well and the fluid turn indicators have trickled down to the A4 as well. The traditional clocks have been replaced by a digital screen which allows you to choose between different display options. It's like Audi has taken the perfectly good A4 and turned it up a notch.Source: CarDekho.The A4 has been one of the highest-selling models for Audi in India. There is soft feel plastic and leather all around and you also get wood inlays on the dash and door panels. You can have the traditional tacho and speedo flanking the small info display or you can choose to give prominence to the vehicle information wherein the clocks retire to the bottom corners of each end. To the uninitiated it could even be passed as a face-lift.
It feels sharp and direct, the feedback though is still not at par with the competition which does tend to take away a bit of fun even if only slightly. It is crisp easy to read though the operation will take some time getting used to as the number of buttons have been reduced and scrolling through the options can prove to be a tad too distracting. audi0.1inch across and displays everything you might or might not need to know.

The Guru today is a dominant figure and the likes
One needs a detailed ethnography of Baba Ramdev’s enterprise to understand the full scale of his effort. The case of Asaram Bapu comes to mind. One is reminded of Mahatma Gandhi’s statement that we do not require lessons on managing law and order from England when our people can manage a crowd of pilgrims as large as the Kumbh Mela.
He appeared in the background of the Anna Hazare movement and apparently played peacemaker on the Kashmir issue.One senses the Guru wanting to invade the political and managerial space, convinced he can add to the idea of “India shining”. Compared to the usual Guru’s scale of activity, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is the Cecil B. Sri Sri’s World Culture Festival however raises certain questions about spirituality one needs to answer. Demille of Gurus. Yet what he devastated was a wetland. One was surprised by the silence of politicians from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Mr Kejriwal. One was naïve enough to think that ecology and spirituality went together. In fact, there was an Korea plugs ironic moment during the celebrations, when Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who played the quiet believer, claimed he could clean the river with the collaboration of AoL and the BJP. Baba Ramdev could create an economic behemoth because he turned the spiritual into a political civics.
The Guru today is a dominant figure and the likes of Baba Ramdev, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Jaggi Vasudev shape the lives of millions of people, determining their ideas and regulating their daily lives. Nature seems outside the ambit of his spirituality and this is worrying. In a secular sense, did you fulfil the ordinary requirement of civic consciousness In a spiritual sense did you think of nature when you planned your cultural festival Does this festival become a projection of your ego, your ability to create mega events as a symptom of your organisation Would a Ramana Maharishi or a Dalai Lama have been guilty of this I think as an exemplar, a leader, as a Guru and a citizen, one needs to answer these questions. Yet there was little response to the observation and it remained part of a forgotten wish list. Meanwhile, though, another Guru is clamoring for attention.An event of this scale is a civic activity.Spirituality as an act of faith, as a social organisation probably has more followers in India than any secular movement. One wishes he had included plants and animals in the family. It was a rag picker’s dream and a civic administration nightmare. Firstly, the National Green Tribunal saw this festival as an act of disruption and imposed a fine of `5 crore on Sri Sri.Of late, the Guru who has commanded attention is Baba Ramdev.
In terms of scale, the Kumbh makes even the historic sound of American protest at Woodstock seem provincial and more like a village meeting. It was not just the short-term impact, but the long-range ecological impact that was distressing. It was an extravaganza that one witness called “spirituality as conspicuous consumption”. Spirituality as an act of faith, as a social organisation probably has more followers in India than any secular movement.The writer is a social science nomad. It is clear that religion is a deep source for mobilisation. A neglected flood plain was no match for the World Culture Festival.
The family Guru is a revered figure, but he stays within family proportions as a spiritual mentor, an advisor and exemplar who adds meaning and direction to the everydayness of life. Yet it raises civic issues. Their ashrams are feats of social organisation which will be the envy of any political party and a case study that any IIM or even Harvard can be proud of. But the question that haunts one is: What use is culture, even world culture and spirituality, if it treats nature with contempt, ignorance, even organised illiteracy One understands that 1,700 Kathak dancers dancing is an event, but ehy is what happens to a flood plain irrelevant Sri Sri also misread the event, lashing out at those who called the event “a private party”. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar with his Art of Living movement is as political as Baba Ramdev, but more cosmopolitan.
The success of the event is not in doubt. He claimed that the world was his family. The question one has to ask is two-fold: What is Sri Sri’s sense of civic consciousness Could he have arranged for volunteers to stay behind and clean up as an exemplary show of civic behaviour Instead, he treated it as a bureaucratic exercise of clerical clearances. By compacting it for the festival, Sri Sri reduced its capacity to absorb water and, therefore, increased the possibility of future flooding. Of course one must admit some Gurus turn sour, pulling a Mallya in a spiritual sense on their followers.
The Gurus, at least the larger-than-life figures mentioned above, are extraordinary men with enormous achievements. The World Culture Festival was a mega event conceived on a gargantuan scale by a man who proclaims the world is his family and gets a crowd which quite represents the family of man in its behaviour. Like Baba Ramdev, he has nibbled on the edges of the political. His attempt to turn Patanjali into a major medical firm anchored on food, cosmetics and medicine based on the Ayurvedic cosmology has won accolades.
It is this silence that makes the writer as an ordinary citizen ask a few questions of the regime and Sri Sri. Democracy too has a spiritual tenor that needs to be respected. Sri Sri acted like a VIP convinced that some people, even Gurus, are more equal than other Gurus. It demands space, money, administrative clearances of impressive order. While emphasising all this, one must remember that the Guru is an everyday phenomenon in India. All the indices — from body count, to footfall to media attention, to the sycophantic presence of VIPs hanging around him — were there to witness.

But experts emphasize that prevention is the healthiest cure."So what about that saying, "hair of the dog?" According to an old folk remedy, a dog bite could be cured by putting the animal&s hair in the wound. A study published last month in the New England Journal of Medicine details a 2016 E. Some patients had eaten or handled raw dough made with flour contaminated with that bacteria.Here&s what George Koob, director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, has to say about that:"You are in a sense self-medicating a mild withdrawal syndrome by drinking more. Other studies have found it&s closer to 2 pounds, still barely enough to make your pants feel tight."In none of those cases were there deaths or serious injury. Baking generally kills any bacteria. But the study authors found the average was a little less than 1 pound.

Poinsettias belong to the same botanical family as rubber plants that produce latex, so some skin rashes occur in people allergic to latex. No one has figured out why.

The handloom textile industry operates within a framewor
MukherjeeThe writer is president of the Delhi Pradesh Mahila Congress and an AICC national media panellist. Many of them live below the poverty line. The master weavers produce masterpieces that not only exemplify an individual’s superb skills but contain centuries-old traditions in a single piece of cloth. Thanks to the lack of technical knowhow and the absence of an efficient machinery to help implement GST, the utter confusion in the informal sector, including the handloom sector, continues. During the freedom movement, Mahatma Gandhi began the practice of spinning and weaving homegrown textiles — khadi. Mr Modi’s government talks about skilling India, but seems to be doing its best to destroy one of the most ancient and precious talent-pool of skills the country has. It’s shameful to see the Mahatma’s image replaced by the current Prime Minister’s photograph in khadi calendars, with a minister of the ruling party from a state saying that Mr Modi is a bigger brand than Mahatma Gandhi. It already had to compete with large-scale mass production of textiles. There is evidence of cotton production in the Indus Valley Civilisation. It’s an art that its practitioners dedicate their lives to learn.Handloom is not merely an economic activity.
Though the khadi yarn, Gandhi cap and the national flag remain exempt, other items made of khadi, including apparels, are being taxed. It’s an intrinsically embedded imagery of the freedom struggle with Mahatma Gandhi. However, in the past one year, the double jolt of demonetisation and a hastily-implemented and complicated Goods and Services Tax that did not give a tax exemption to handloom, at least in the first round, has dealt a severe blow to the handloom industry. Each state of India has its own hand-woven, hand-embroidered, traditional handloom textiles and sarees that have won the admiration of millions across the globe. From being the world’s largest textile exporter, India began to import British textiles. The handloom industry is totally decentralised, and is spread across India. In many weaving communities, skills are imparted by home training and continue through generations. It’s the State’s responsibility to create a conducive environment for such craft to survive and thrive.
Handloom is not merely an economic activity. Out of these 43. Khadi remains one of the most potent symbols of India’s independence from “political slavery, economic bondage and cultural stagnation”.The government’s refusal to grant a tax exemption to handlooms while introducing GST has led to even more miseries for weavers. It’s said that it was so fine that Roman emperor Augustus banned its use as a dress material by the women of his court through an imperial decree stating it’s bad for the morals of his people. Along with new technologies, England adopted a protectionist policy towards its own nascent textile industry by banning the import and sale of finished pure cotton products from India. Demonetisation hit all small and medium-scale industries in the informal sector, but the handloom sector suffered an even bigger blow. Ibn Batuta, the 14th century traveller, noted that among the presents sent by Delhi’s Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq to the Yuan emperor in China were 100 pieces each of five varieties of cloth, each category named differently.According to the data from the ministry of textiles, there are 43. It’s an art that its practitioners dedicate their lives to learn.31 lakh weavers in India, out of which 77 per cent are women. In India, the colonial administration not only discouraged the indigenous textile industry, but flooded the Indian market with cheap mill-produced Lancashire textiles. This changed only after the Industrial Revolution in England. The weavers are given credit by middlemen and/or traders for the purchase of raw materials like yarn, threads or zari. With demonetisation, the cash disappeared and credit stopped. Super-fine cotton fabric called muslin, known in ancient Rome as ventus textilis (the woven wind), was a highly-coveted item. It operates within the informal sector, and creates around 14 per cent of total textile production in India.
The handloom textile industry operates within a framework of cash and credit flow.When the East India Company ventured into India, one of its main items of export was Indian textiles.The Indian textile industry is one of the world’s oldest. Khadi symbolised India’s pride, entrepreneurship, a move towards self-sufficiency, and a spirit of resistance to the mighty colonial power.33 lakh are in rural areas. According to a media report, in Varanasi, the Prime Minister’s constituency, which is one of the earliest textile centres in India, traditional weavers have been rendered jobless and are being forced to look for other jobs. In post-Independent India, successive governments have taken special measures to protect and promote India’s rich handloom textile industry through legislative and institutional mechanisms, tax incentives and other financial measures; by setting up cooperatives and linkages for marketing the products, by reserving products within handloom categories to eliminate competition with mass-produced textiles and through various other methods. Over 70 weavers are said to have committed suicide in Varanasi due to the vicious cycle of debt and poverty. The tax on sarees and apparels above Rs 1,000 has made competition far tougher for the handloom sector. The symbolism of khadi in India’s Independence movement is immense. The weavers are not given credit as they can’t raise invoices due to the lack of digital as well as financial literacy. Indian cotton and silk were prized items for export in ancient India to other ancient civilisations
