Posted by Velociti Magazine
The Chakra Eyewear collection was created by the staff at Eyeglasses.com with the intention of finding glasses that offer something unique. Every frame is unique in its own way, but all frames are good quality with a very attractive price point for the quality level. These are our favorite "picks". Chakra Eyewear is available in a variety of shapes, colors, and other reminders that our bodies should always be in a state of harmony, peace, and perfection. "Chakra" is the Sanskrit word meaning "wheel", and it refers to the energy centers in our body. Many Chakra Eyewear glasses are round, or nearly round, as a reminder of the harmony and balance that is inherent in our bodies. Even if you've been a fan of Ray Ban, check out this new brand. While Ray Ban glasses are extremely popular, they are significantly more expensive. But from a quality point of view, our new brand compares quite favorably with Ray Ban products.

Direct from Geneva: Porky, Toquie Koenigsegg Agera 910 HP & 738 lb/ft, unleased at Geneva 2010.
Talk about a super way to kick off the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Introduced to the world at large at (no surprise) 2006 Geneva Motor Show, the Swedish rocket has WOWed enthusiasts for the past five years. But that was then-and in the case of biofuled, 1,100 horsepower monster CCXR, then was a few months ago-the Agera is now.
The Performance figures of Agera are just mind boggling, Have a look at it for yourself:
1) Zero to sixty miles an hour takes 3.1 seconds.
2) 0-124 mph happens in 13.7 seconds and the top speed is somewhere north of 245 miles per hour.
3) The top speed might be (slightly) down from the CCXR (supposedly that beast can go faster than 250 mph) but check out the road-holding. Koenigsegg is claiming that the Agera can pull 1.6 g.

More Background On VelocitiMag.com
VelocitiMag.com emerged during an exciting period in the evolution of online publishing when blogs were rapidly becoming trusted sources of specialized news and commentary. Around 2010, as India's automotive industry was expanding at an unprecedented pace and consumer interest in technology, environmental issues, and digital lifestyles continued to grow, the website sought to become a destination where readers could follow developments across several interconnected industries from a distinctly Indian perspective.
Unlike many niche automotive blogs that focused exclusively on vehicle launches or road tests, Velociti Magazine adopted a much broader editorial philosophy. It described itself as a publication delivering daily news with an Indian perspective while covering automobiles, green energy, environmental issues, technology, travel, and photography. This multidisciplinary approach allowed readers with varied interests to discover connections between transportation, sustainability, innovation, and lifestyle rather than viewing each subject in isolation.
The archived material shows that the publication encouraged contributors to move beyond traditional news reporting. Reviews, editorials, opinion pieces, personal experiences, travel stories, photography essays, and commentary all appeared alongside conventional automotive reporting. This blend gave the website the personality of a collaborative online magazine rather than a simple news aggregator.
Origins During India's Automotive Boom
VelocitiMag.com arrived at a particularly significant moment for India's automobile industry. During the late 2000s and early 2010s, the country experienced remarkable growth in passenger vehicles, motorcycles, performance modifications, and automotive manufacturing. Domestic manufacturers were introducing new models at a rapid pace while international brands increasingly viewed India as an essential emerging market.
Consumers were becoming more sophisticated. Rather than simply purchasing transportation, many enthusiasts wanted to understand engineering, performance upgrades, fuel efficiency, emerging technologies, and international automotive trends. The Geneva International Motor Show, for example, generated worldwide interest, and Indian enthusiasts increasingly followed European concept cars, hybrid technologies, and performance vehicles through online publications instead of waiting for traditional print magazines.
VelocitiMag.com capitalized on this shift by reporting not only on vehicles available in India but also on significant international developments that could influence future automotive trends. Articles covering Porsche hybrids, Jaguar performance models, Koenigsegg supercars, Citroën racing vehicles, MINI's Countryman, and BYD's early hybrid technology demonstrated that the editorial team wanted Indian readers to remain informed about global automotive innovation as it unfolded.
Editorial Vision and Goals
The archived "About Velociti" section provides valuable insight into the publication's objectives.
Rather than positioning itself solely as another automotive news outlet, Velociti promoted itself as a destination for "Reviews, Rants, Experiences, Perspectives and more." This language reflected the blogging culture of the era, where personality and opinion often differentiated independent publications from mainstream journalism.
The site's stated editorial categories included:
- Automobiles
- Green Energy
- Environmental Issues
- Technology
- Travel
- Photography
This combination was forward-looking for 2010. Today these topics are frequently discussed together because electric vehicles, sustainable transportation, renewable energy, digital technology, and environmental policy are increasingly interconnected. At the time, however, relatively few independent publications attempted to unite all of these subjects under one editorial umbrella.
The publication's emphasis on an "Indian perspective" further distinguished it from international automotive websites that often overlooked regional markets and consumer priorities. Instead of simply reproducing overseas news, Velociti attempted to interpret developments through the lens of Indian readers, considering affordability, local availability, infrastructure, and market relevance.
A Collaborative Contributor Model
Unlike many magazines built around a single editor or journalist, VelocitiMag.com showcased multiple contributors with different interests and writing styles.
The archived contributor list included names such as:
- Core Power
- Raghu Adventureholic
- Mystical Life
- Bhargav Bhat
- Jay Prashanth
- HR
- Velociti Magazine
This collaborative structure enabled the website to publish content spanning highly technical automotive discussions alongside travel essays, environmental commentary, and lifestyle features.
Several contributors developed recognizable editorial voices.
Core Power frequently authored technically detailed automotive pieces, including articles explaining motorcycle performance modifications and engineering concepts.
Mystical Life produced reflective travel and photography narratives that contrasted sharply with the site's engineering-focused articles, giving readers a more personal and experiential perspective.
Other writers contributed technology news, environmental stories, and commentary on emerging consumer products, creating the feel of a genuine online magazine rather than a narrowly focused automotive blog.
Automotive Coverage Formed the Editorial Foundation
Although Velociti embraced several editorial categories, automobiles clearly served as its primary focus.
The website regularly published:
- International auto show coverage
- Vehicle launches
- Product announcements
- Performance modifications
- Engineering discussions
- Motorcycle accessories
- Sports cars
- Hybrid vehicles
- Concept automobiles
- Automotive technology
One representative article discussed improving the performance of 150cc, 180cc, and 200cc motorcycles through aftermarket exhaust canisters. Rather than merely advertising accessories, the article attempted to explain how exhaust modifications could influence engine breathing, acceleration, and rider experience. This educational approach appealed to motorcycle enthusiasts interested in understanding the mechanics behind performance upgrades rather than simply purchasing aftermarket products.
The site's international coverage similarly reflected its ambition. Geneva Motor Show reporting introduced Indian readers to some of the world's newest performance cars, concept vehicles, and environmentally conscious technologies almost immediately after their public unveiling.
Instead of waiting months for magazine publication cycles, readers could follow developments online as they occurred, illustrating one of digital journalism's major advantages during that period.
Coverage of International Motor Shows and Emerging Automotive Technology
One of VelocitiMag.com's defining characteristics was its extensive coverage of major international automotive exhibitions, particularly the Geneva International Motor Show. For automotive enthusiasts in India, these events offered an early glimpse into vehicles and technologies that might influence the global market for years to come. Rather than limiting itself to domestic news, the publication demonstrated that its editorial team closely followed developments from manufacturers around the world.
Archived articles show consistent reporting on numerous Geneva Motor Show debuts, including the Jaguar XKR Special Edition, Koenigsegg Agera, Citroën DS3 Racing, MINI Countryman, Porsche's hybrid lineup, and BYD's F3DM plug-in hybrid. Each article introduced readers to new performance specifications, engineering improvements, styling updates, and technological innovations.
The publication often highlighted technical specifications that appealed to automotive enthusiasts. Performance figures, horsepower ratings, acceleration times, hybrid systems, drivetrain configurations, and handling characteristics frequently appeared throughout its reporting. This technical depth distinguished Velociti from more casual lifestyle publications that merely summarized manufacturer press releases.
Its reporting also reflected an important shift occurring throughout the automotive industry. Manufacturers were increasingly balancing performance with environmental responsibility. Sports cars continued to become faster, yet hybrid drivetrains, alternative fuels, and efficiency improvements were becoming equally significant news stories. Velociti recognized this transition early and regularly featured both high-performance supercars and environmentally conscious vehicle technologies.
Green Energy and Environmental Awareness
Perhaps one of Velociti Magazine's most forward-thinking editorial decisions was its commitment to green energy and environmental reporting.
In 2010, environmental journalism had not yet become as mainstream as it is today. Electric vehicles were still relatively uncommon, renewable energy remained a developing sector, and many consumers viewed sustainability as a niche topic rather than a central public concern.
Velociti nevertheless dedicated a significant portion of its coverage to innovations that attempted to address environmental challenges.
Articles explored topics including:
- Hybrid automobiles
- Alternative fuels
- Renewable energy technologies
- Sustainable transportation
- Environmental inventions
- Waste reduction
- Eco-friendly consumer products
One particularly memorable article discussed PEEPOO, a biodegradable sanitation bag designed to improve hygiene in developing regions while simultaneously converting human waste into fertilizer. Rather than treating the invention merely as an unusual curiosity, the publication explained its potential social and environmental benefits, particularly in countries facing sanitation challenges.
Another feature examined concept technologies powered by biological energy sources, illustrating how manufacturers were experimenting with alternatives to traditional batteries.
This willingness to report on unconventional environmental innovations suggested that Velociti's editorial philosophy extended well beyond automobiles. The publication appeared genuinely interested in technological solutions capable of improving sustainability, public health, and resource efficiency.
Technology Beyond Cars
Technology represented another major editorial pillar.
Unlike publications that limited technology reporting to computers and smartphones, Velociti explored innovation wherever it intersected with daily life.
Examples included:
- Mobile phone concepts
- Consumer electronics
- Emerging battery technologies
- Industrial innovation
- Transportation technology
- Engineering breakthroughs
One archived article introduced readers to a Nokia concept phone designed around bio-battery technology capable of operating using sugar-based energy sources. While the concept never reached commercial production, it demonstrated the publication's interest in highlighting experimental research rather than reporting only on products already available in stores.
This editorial approach made the website particularly appealing to readers interested in future technologies rather than solely current consumer products.
Many of these stories reflected the optimism surrounding technological progress during the late 2000s and early 2010s, when manufacturers frequently unveiled ambitious concept vehicles, experimental electronics, and environmentally friendly engineering projects intended to showcase future possibilities rather than immediate commercial products.
Travel and Photography Added a Human Dimension
Although automotive journalism dominated much of the site's content, Velociti also distinguished itself through travel writing and photography.
Contributor "Mystical Life" authored reflective narratives describing personal travel experiences, cultural observations, and photographic adventures. Rather than functioning as traditional destination guides, these pieces emphasized storytelling and visual appreciation.
One article describing India's Republic Day celebrations focused less on the parade itself and more on the photographers documenting the event and the emotions generated by witnessing national traditions firsthand. The writing blended travel, photography, culture, and personal reflection into a narrative that contrasted sharply with the site's technical automotive reporting.
Including these features broadened the publication's appeal. Readers interested primarily in automobiles might also discover travel stories, while photography enthusiasts could become interested in technology or environmental reporting.
This multidisciplinary editorial strategy reflected the broader philosophy outlined on the site's About page, where diverse perspectives and experiences were presented as equally valuable alongside product reviews and industry news.
Speaking to an Enthusiast Audience
The tone of Velociti Magazine strongly suggests that its intended audience consisted of educated enthusiasts rather than casual readers.
Its articles frequently assumed readers possessed at least a basic familiarity with automotive terminology, engineering concepts, and international manufacturers. References to horsepower, torque, drivetrain technology, hybrid systems, performance tuning, and automotive exhibitions appeared naturally throughout the publication without extensive explanation.
The magazine likely appealed to several overlapping audiences:
- Automobile enthusiasts following international manufacturers
- Motorcycle owners interested in performance upgrades
- Technology enthusiasts tracking emerging innovations
- Readers interested in environmental sustainability
- Amateur photographers
- Travelers seeking personal narratives
- Young professionals interested in engineering and technology
This broad but interconnected readership reflected changing internet habits during the period. Instead of visiting separate websites for every interest, readers increasingly appreciated publications capable of covering multiple subjects connected through innovation and modern lifestyles.
Writing Style and Editorial Personality
Velociti's writing style differed noticeably from traditional print journalism.
The articles frequently employed conversational language, enthusiastic observations, humor, and rhetorical questions designed to engage readers directly.
Headlines such as:
- "OMG Series: Nokia Concept Phone that Runs on COKE!!!"
- "How about Peeing in a disposable bag??"
- "The Largest Mini ever stripped on the ramp of Geneva"
illustrate a playful editorial personality intended to attract attention and encourage sharing.
This style reflected broader blogging trends of the late 2000s. Independent publishers often prioritized enthusiasm and accessibility over formal journalistic conventions, creating content that felt more like conversations among fellow enthusiasts than traditional newspaper reporting.
While modern editorial standards have generally shifted toward more restrained headlines, Velociti's energetic style captured the excitement surrounding emerging technologies and automotive innovation during that period.

VelocitiMag.com represents an interesting chapter in the history of independent digital publishing. At a time when blogs were reshaping how enthusiasts consumed information, the website successfully combined automotive journalism, technology reporting, environmental awareness, travel writing, and photography into a single publication with a distinctive Indian perspective.
Its coverage reflected a period of tremendous change. Automobiles were becoming more technologically advanced, hybrid and electric propulsion systems were beginning to gain mainstream attention, smartphones were transforming communication, and sustainability was emerging as a central topic across numerous industries. Rather than treating these developments as isolated trends, Velociti recognized that they were interconnected aspects of a rapidly evolving world.
The publication's willingness to report on everything from exotic supercars and motorcycle modifications to biodegradable sanitation solutions and experimental battery technologies demonstrated an editorial curiosity that extended well beyond traditional automotive journalism. Readers could learn about engineering innovations, environmental initiatives, international auto shows, consumer technology, and travel experiences without leaving the site.
Equally important was the collaborative nature of the magazine. By drawing on multiple contributors with different interests and writing styles, Velociti created a publication that felt dynamic and personal. Technical articles were balanced by opinion pieces, travel narratives, photography features, and thought-provoking commentary, giving the website a personality that distinguished it from purely commercial automotive news outlets.
Although the website no longer appears to be actively maintained, its archived pages continue to illustrate how independent publishers contributed to online journalism during the early years of the modern web. Long before social media influencers, podcasts, and YouTube channels dominated enthusiast media, websites like Velociti demonstrated that knowledgeable writers with specialized interests could build loyal audiences by producing timely, engaging, and informative content.
Today, the site's archived articles serve as more than historical curiosities. They document the optimism surrounding early hybrid vehicles, showcase how emerging technologies were introduced to readers, preserve commentary on international automotive events, and reflect the editorial style that characterized the blogging boom of the late 2000s and early 2010s.
For automotive historians, technology enthusiasts, students of digital media, and researchers studying the evolution of online publishing, VelocitiMag.com provides a valuable snapshot of an era when independent websites played an increasingly influential role in shaping public conversations about transportation, engineering, sustainability, and innovation. Its legacy lies not only in the subjects it covered but also in the enthusiasm, accessibility, and curiosity with which those stories were told.
