Surat: Explosives Found in Wagon and Car

We just saw two cities, Bangalore and Ahmedabad threatened with bomb blasts in India, and today, cops found out explosives near a hospital in Surat.

Another Wagon R car loaded with explosives, was found in Varaccha area in Surat. The police seized the car and special squads have been rushed in to examine the explosives. Earlier in the afternoon, another Wagon R car loaded with explosives, was seized in Poona village in Surat.

The latest developments have created panic in Surat and other parts of Gujarat. The two other cars, which were used in the serial blasts outside Ahmedabad hospitals were also of Wagon R brand. Registration numbers of all these cars are found to be fake.

Police said it was found to have a wire, some white powder, nuts and bolts as well as a battery — all ingredients for a crude explosive.

Surat Police Commissioner R.M.S. Brar refused to go into the details. “I will not comment on it as the experts are still analysing it,” he said.

Consumerpricewatch.net Reviews Top 10 Best Diet Pills

Diet pills are one of the recommended ways to lose weight as they discuss all over the internet and TV. Don’t always believe on what you see on TV commercials. They are made to make you buy the product and don’t always show what really happens.

I have found a website that reviews over 100-200 of different diet pills available. This website consumerpricewatch.net uses various criteria to compare the different products. It also focuses on long term benefits and safety along with value and quality. What they have done is, that they brought things down to the top 10 of diet pills, allowing you to easily select the best diet pills for your own use.

This website, Consumerpricewatch.net, has a lot of information and they also talk about the good and bad sides of the different pills. Makes sense to check it out before you buy any diet pills online. What say?

We have changed back to blogspot.com domain

If you would observe, we were on some other borrowed domain name for a while for some test purpose. Currently, I am in no mood to keep that domain name as the things did not work out the way I want. So I am switching back to blogspot.com sub-domain http://lifeiscolorful.blogspot.com

This suits more to the blog theme, isn't it? I would be little more in posting here now onwards. Till then, have fun.
