As more top tier marquees roll up the expensively tailored khakis, the Pebble Beach show just seems to keep on rolling on the creative concepts as well as the "slightly more" legal going beauties for the generally car-loving public. What a week it must be for the photographers, jumping from unveiling to unveiling with little more than sparkling champagne sloshing vicariously in their bellies, with a sackload of an SD cards creating a hump the size of mount Everest. Really, the way to identify a professional car magazine or blog photographer is the person with his knees hunched, ready to race to the next unveiling at speeds even Usain Bolt would be mesmerised at, with their finger either superglued or twitching a few mm away from the camera's trigger button. Thankfully they are professional photographers...so they do take good photos. 1. Mercedes EQ Silver Arrow Concept Silver arrow is possibly the most description you could give to this very..uh..interesting car. A s...

While the people of Seattle have their breaths caught and vocal cords reprogrammed by the frankly obnoxious air the richest 1 percenters flock to California for the opening of the Pebble Beach 'Who's Stick is bigger' Car showoff. That is not to say the citizens of Seattle are affected by the cars at the ridiculously expensive golf club, but you get the idea. The Pebble Beach 'Stick' competition has always been a glamorous event, not only because its champagne costs more than most houses but some of the best of the best cars get unveiled there. And this year is no different. While more companies join into the fray, glimpse at the highlights till today 1. Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Possibly the most anticipated car at this Concours' D'elegance event, the Lambo SVJ bullied its way to top of the Nurburgring production car lap record by beating its fellow sister company's Porsche 911. It has a small bump in horsepower over its SV cousin and has en...

A few years, maybe more than a decade ago we humans had a very precise of identifying cars. Normal Cars were called uh normal cars, 'sports' cars were the slightly faster and fancy onesies whereas supercars were like a dreamy concoction of Alicia Vikander and Dwayne Johnson. Lithe, artful, but packing enough muscle to single-handedly cause global warming due to squealing rubber tyres, supercars were the cream of the crop. When you saw one, you rushed to it, hugging the owner and offering to polish their leathery shoes just to touch the steering wheel. You even offered to have their babies. Such was the mass hysteria when you read about one even in car magazines. Today, however, supercars are no longer the benchmark of driving thrill, but they are merely a step, a very expensive multi lacquered, leather upholstered step, to the driving nirvana called 'hypercars'. If we humans keep going like this, soon we will have 'elite' and then 'legendary' cars...

I know I should have put everything as one article but forgive me for being lazy. Here is the continuation of the mini series 3. Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue  A blue watch which not only sets it apart from the traditional black and brown strapped watches, with a totally different kind of fabric, the Tudor is a watch for the fun loving people. With its white dial and a race like orange and white accents on its strap it is the most outgoing of the 5. This a Tudor which you wouldn't mind wearing absolutely anywhere expect perhaps a more formal event or a business meeting, but it's a standout baby nonetheless. 4. Rolex Submariner ' Pepsi' Although it is not actually called 'Pepsi' and you can get the watch with a different colour combo, we think the red/blue version is quite fetching.On a more personal note it is the only metal-banded watch I would deign to wear no doubt to its sheer simplicity. It challenges the Movado for the do-everything throne, bu...

We'v e all experienced it at least once. Its Friday night, and after an obscenely long day at work, school, gym, party etc, you intensely thank god for the weekend. As you enter your bedroom you feel your supersoft bed beckoning you into the intricacies of doing absolutely nothing. As your head hits the pillow, you yawn and drift off to a dreamless sleep. You hazily wake up at ten the next morning, thinking you feel relaxed for the extra 3 hours of sleep you just obtained. But your body begs to differ. Your legs feel weighted with bags of lead, your eyes are barely adjusting to the sunlight in your room, your arms are puddles of jelly moving at a lackadaisical pace reminiscent of a slow-motion movie.  Your brain buzzes at a feverish pace thinking 'Why am I tired?' It leaves you stumped, doesn't it? You then start analyzing. Too less sleep = tired; too much sleep = also tired? Doesn't make sense, does it? But that's just the way we have trained ourselves....

As Apple hit the magic the number and the shareholders started hearing din-ding in their sleep, we learnt that yes Apple are worth a trillion dollars but have other companies done it before, or are they about to do it? 1. Saudi Aramco Saudi Aramco is Saudi Arabia's largest producer and exporter of oil. It could easily lay claim to the world's largest exporter title as the company has relatively few competitors. However, it has always been strictly controlled by the ruling family of the Arab nation. To diversify its interests, the ruling family quite recently decreed that they are willing to sell up to  5 % of the company which they bullishly value at 2 trillion dollars. 5 % is a hundred billion dollars. And at two trillion they could be twice the value of Apple. However, some analysts have stated that the value of the company could be a relatively paltry 500 billion. Hotly disputed but it is an oil company. They are supposed to be rich. 2. PetroChina On Nov...

...Provided you have the dough of course. The SVJ is Lamborghini's last ever fully conventional engine car. Yep, after this, every single Italian Bull will have an electric kick up its growling ass. This alone should be reason enough to buy the SVJ cause this will probably will be the maddest loudest and meanest bull in Bologna. In today's world, hybrid power and sophisticated but efficient fuel consumption is the name of the game. Even supercars nowadays have to publish fuel stats and discuss potential electric-only mileage to attract more millennial buyers. Fine if you're deciding to jump to the closest BMW dealer and treat yourself the new i8 Roadster. But the Lambo Aventador is special.  First released in around 2011 to be the replacement of the Murcielago, the Aventador was a raging success, a poster boy for Lambo's legions of fans around the world. There was just something snarling about its wide low body, brutal looks and the shrieking v12. In a sense, ...

When Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) jumped from building to building, with nary hair out of place, following a smug Henry Cavill through the streets, sorry, the rooftops of London I knew this was going my inspiration to become like him. I mean I don't want to have a target on my back, or even do a "Fast and Furious" in a helicopter or have fun disposing nuclear bombs, I would love to be the suave looking, fit man who takes Rebecca Ferguson out for dinner. I had never felt so 'pulled' to continue my new year's resolution after a gap of 7 months. But people like me are lazy, and that certainly applies to a majority of people who want to be fit, workout for a week, and then lose motivation and watch Netflix while noisily munching a bag of chips. And that's okay, everyone needs that push or a shove. If it wasn't for Nick Fury (of the Avengers Movie) bluffing his agent's blood-stained pack of 'limited edition Cap'n cards' the Avengers would ne...

  A man without a watch is not a man at all. A watch reveals all about the person ( I mean not everything like what time he takes his morning dump or what time he reads the newspaper). Essentially a watch defines personality, whether it be fun and outgoing, serious, or just plain old lazy a watch is people's looking glass into you. Many watch wearing people can testify that when they forget to wear their handy timepiece they feel as if they are standing buck-naked in a snow-storm, which is probably not pleasant. So to not forget your time-telling pancakes here's a list of watches I find stunningly attractive. 1. Movado Men's Ultra Slim Watch As the name suggests it is a very thin watch, 6.3 mm to be exact. So obviously it's lightweight and with time(pun intended) you would probably forget that you were wearing it all. But it is stunningly simplistic with beautiful rose-gold dial and a black leather strap. Movado have made a take-me -anywhere -watch here . You could ...

MIZUNO "Runbird DNA" Pack Ah, Mizuno, the Japanese kings of the understated football boot. Mizuno is like the Aston Martin to the Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and Porsche's. It's the more nuanced player's boot. A player who really values high-quality leather and is a massive fan of the saying " Old is Gold". We kick-off with the Morelia Neo III Beta. Now, this boot is not for the Beta players. The Japanese just thought Beta was cool as the Neo III represents the latest iteration of the  Morelia brand. It's the lighter more hunkered down version. Think of it as the AMR version of a standard Aston Martin Source: SoccerBible The other boot in this pack is the O.G. Mizuno Morelia Zero. Basically the great-granddaddy of the Neo III Beta. Featuring a handcrafted K-Leather upper, never has Black/White/Red looked this good, even if you count in Adidas's Predator series.
