The Big Small Car – Nano

What happens when you say the word Nano? You probably remember something tiny. May be Hummingbird. May be iPod. May be some tiny gadget. But whatever it is, it is small. It lacks the bigness. Now the things are going to change. Nano is not small. It is big. It is huge. This is reality. Welcome to the world of Nano.

Today was the day when Tata Nano was launched. Successfully launched. Millions of eyes were waiting for this moment. The car they have been waiting for over year. This car aims to fulfill the dreams of every person who wants to buy a car. Why not? When you can get a car with decent amount of features for 1Lakh rupees then why not?

Sadly, they have to wait. They have to wait for more than what they think. The demand for this car is huge. Production of this car doesn’t live up to it’s expectation. It will take a hell lot of time and good amount of luck to get this car parked in your garage. Also expect long…  Very long queue’s when you’ll go for booking this car in mid April.

There are only two plants where this car is produced. This is as far as I know. The scale of this is very less. It would have been different if the Singur plant was allowed. Also this car is not on first come first serve basis. There will be a lottery from which names will be chosen. They will get the cars. Good thing is that only one car per person.

Nano will also give rise to traffic problems. Already they are worse. Whatever it is. People won’t refrain from buying this car. It’s affordable and their pocket’s won’t get burned. Three cheers for Nano..

mp3Trim

MP3 Trim is a neat little (free) program for clipping mp3s down to size and length. There’s no installation as it runs straight from the executable, and you can add fade effects to make the trim less harsh. Useful on files that contain unwanted sounds at the beginning or end, MP3Trim works by trimming precisely at MPEG frame increments. It can automatically detect digital silence and recover wasted disk space occupied by silent frames. In addition, it recognizes ID3 tags and cleans up missing or incomplete frames and WAV headers (for WAV-embedded MP3s). It also allows you to increase the sound level of the mp3.

ImageWatermarker 1.1

When you are posting images in blogs or forums, You like to have a watermark on them. So that all know its been uploaded by you. If you are running a blog or a website, You use this to prevent copying. Even if someone copies he’ll be advertising for your site. 🙂


There are many utilities available to watermark images. Very few are free and this is one of them. The actual application size is just 24KB. When I downloaded this I thought it’ll be a junk program. But then it’s coded with .NET. It’s small and serves my purpose. Remember that it’s a simple watermarker. You can change font, font size, bold, italics and underline text. You can change the position of watermark and its rotation.

Today we have thousands of applications demanding hard disk space, there installation size is big and in some cases huge. Only to wamp up GUI interface. This site contains many applications which are tiny. The size is small but they do have lot of functionality. You’ll find the smallest application available on web at one place.

My favorite is the smallest web browser. It’s less than 1MB and still functions. This site is not eye candy, But its content is worth reading and using. Most of the applications here are used by computer administrators so they can be run from CD without need to install.

And the most important thing is they are freewares. Now thats worth giving a try. Do visit the site and leave a comment about this site.
