Recently I observed that vmware web access does not work sometime.Initially i did restart of computer and it used to work. I used to see the eventvwr to see it any vmware service has failed.
Finally i found the root cause of the issue.
1) vmware Host Agent service was down.
So next time don't forget to check this service if you are not able to access the vmware web page.

Spark - value for money
Finally i bought new car Chevrolet Spark LS :)
I did lot of research before i zeroed on this car. I started with intention to buy second hand car. I kept searching for it. I had two option
1) To buy from known second hand car dealer e.g. First choice or maruti true value. I found although these will give warranty for one year, but prices were very high. I did not find it worth buying cars from these dealers.
2) To buy using sulekha.com etc. there i was able to find 1-2 deals worth looking most other were not good. Moreover most second hand cars were as old 10 years.
Finally i give it a deep thought that best period to enjoy a car is when it is new. In first three years or 20000KM. As car has lot of moving part after approx 3 years vehicle starts degrading exponentially.
So now i was clear that i will buy new car. Then started the test drives.
I saw many cars from many companies, TATA, MARUTI,HUNDAI,CHEVROLET, Many i found expensive in terms of value for money...
I observed general consumer behaviour that what other is doing they were buying the same thing without seeing the available good alternate.
E.g. Maruti is selling same old 800 repackaged to alto with cost of 3.35 or more!!! and people still buying it :) and in masses..
Other patterns i observed that people were looking for resale value. Although it does not matter for most of people....
I found lot of value in spark. I got it in 3.5 on road. with 1000 cc engine with fully loaded.
