| All New Bajaj V15
Bajaj V15 has received tremendous response from buyers across the country, and proof of it lies in the fact that the bike has garnered over 10,000 bookings so far. Considering the increasing demand, Bajaj Auto is planning to ramp up the bike’s production to 1,000 units per day in coming days. Priced at Rs. 62,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the new Bajaj V bike is positioned above the Discover 150, and caters a niche segment. Though, it might also affect the sales of Suzuki Gixxer, Yamaha R15 and other premium 150cc bikes in India.
The company is offering a compulsory accessory package that costs an additional Rs. 1,000, while the stock Bajaj V bike is priced at Rs. 61,000. Deliveries of the bike commenced from 23rd March 2016 – the day that is celebrated as ‘Shaheed Diwas’ in India. For people not in the know, the Bajaj V bike was unveiled just prior to the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo at an event in Delhi.
What makes the Bajaj V 15 a special bike is the fact that it is made using the Indian Navy’s first aircraft carrier – INS Vikrant. With scrambler + cafe racer like design elements, the Bajaj V15 targets the executive segment buyers. This will help the company grow its volumes in the fast-growing premium commuter category. In terms of design and styling, the Bajaj V looks a lot better than the Pulsar AS150. The home-grown two-wheeler maker might introduce more products under Bajaj V range across different segments.

The company says that the new Bajaj V15 is not an ordinary bike. Its upright stance signifies solidity and attributes of the invincible INS Vikrant. What further makes it special is its mighty DTSi engine and a range of class-leading features.
The Bajaj V bike is made from INS Vikran’t metal that had played a crucial role in 1971 Indo-Pak War. First commissioned in 1961, the INS Vikrant served the country for over 36 years before finally getting decommissioned in the year 1997. After that it was kept as a museum ship in Mumbai, and was sent to scrapyard in January 2014. “But we were determined not to let history fade away into oblivion. So, we took INS Vikrant’s metal, melted it and gave it a new face – Bajaj V.”, said Bajaj Auto.

Bajaj claims that the bike’s trapezoidal headlamp is 60% brighter than other bikes. Its large fuel tank made up of the invincible metal of the INS Vikrant that provides it strength and solidity.

Throughout history, scientists have totally changed the way
we see the world. From the theory of general relativity that helps us
understand our Universe to the discovery of radioactive elements used
throughout medicine today, without the work of people like Albert Einstein and
Marie Curie, the world would be a very different place.
But just how well compensated were these great minds for
their pioneering research? Stephen Pritchard from Adzuna did some digging into
the salaries of history's best-known scientists, and updated them to today's
currency, based on inflation rates. And the results are pretty surprising.
Not only are the salaries overall pretty low when you
consider just how influential these researchers were - Einstein earned the most
at US$173,000, which is pretty impressive, until you compare it to what today's
lawyers are earning - they're also incredibly inconsistent.
For example, while the undeniably impressive Galileo Galilei
earned around US$141,155 back in the 1600s for his contributions to astronomy,
German astronomer Caroline Herschel was only paid $7,199 for discovering eight
comets in the late 1700s.
Obviously sexism was an issue back then, but even between the
guys, things don't really add up, with astronomer Edwin Hubble earning just
$20,559 in 1919.
But before you get too mad, a lot of that inconsistency can
be explained by the fact that these salary estimates were taken at different
points in each of the researchers' careers - and only reflect one year, not a
lifetime, of earnings.
"Einstein’s genius was well-established when he arrived
at Princeton University for example, while Newton was almost 20 years away from
publishing his theory on gravity," writes Pritchard.
Also, simply using inflation data to convert money from
hundreds of years ago to today has its problems, so the comparisons aren't as
straightforward as they appear.
But even as a rough guide, the infographic is still
fascinating insight into how scientists were valued back in their day, and how
our earnings today compare. You can see a zoomable version here.
Hope you found this good. Thank you.

| Ravindra Jadeja with his fiancé Riva Solanki |
Gujarat Lions all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will miss
Saturday’s Indian Premier League match against Mumbai Indians as he is all set
to tie the nuptial knot with fiancé Riva Solanki in Rajkot on Sunday.
“Ravindra Jadeja is not going to play today’s match and has
not come to Mumbai with the team as he is getting married tomorrow,” sources in
Gujarat Lions team said.
“It is also not sure
whether he would be available for game against Sunrisers Hyderabad to be played
on April 21,” sources said adding that the game is to be played in Rajkot and
therefore there are still chances of Jadeja playing in that match.
The new entrant in the ninth edition of IPL has so far played
well, registering two wins in two matches.
Jadeja, one of the team’s key player, played well in the game
against Rising Pune Supergiants where he took two wickets and conceded only 18
runs in his four-over spell.
Sources also said that Gujarat Lions team members are expected
to attend the wedding reception Sunday evening.
