1.Go to nearest ice cream shop arun icecream or any other favorite they use to keep dry ice creamy white colur smoky one use for maintain cooling while transporting ice cream for catering purpose. handle with care avoid using bare hand to touch it.

2. attend any friend relative marraige go to catering area open the ice cream storage container/box yo can see the smokey dry at the bottom of the box. store it on thermo flask or Thermocol Packing Box

you can get it at free of cost

answers in bold .....

If you have friends or contact in the film Industry then they can tell you where to get it...Dry ICE is used for making the FOG effect ..It is the mist that stays on the floor in most song sequence.It is made by having Dry Ice in a big container and pouring hot water on it...alternately,Fog machines are used wherein Dry Ice is used.

filim industry now eh......., who uses fog these days sir everything is fx even ghost movies dont use them any more , so back to good ol freezer......and waiting

Even to-day it is extensively used in the film industry,and in Chennai it is easier to get it near the studios.A CGI to create the same effect cost much more money than the DRY ICE effect.

i live in kollam sir , there is no movie studios anywhere near , back to the freezer!!!!!!!!

rebuild status update

the kb125 rebuild has been suffering because of a combination of factors beyond my control. let me elaborate...

my p150 (kick start) met with an accident. my aide, who was riding it, went cart-wheeling over the bike and fortunately suffered only a collarbone fracture and abrasions on his back, waist and elbow. a close inspection of the bike revealed that the front rim was warped, the handle bar was bent, the rvms were gone, the leg guard was bent and the front fork inner tubes were also bent. surprisingly there was very little body damage otherwise.

now, i am deeply attached to this bike - in spite of fracturing my knee and snapping my ligaments when i crashed it seven years ago and it being a 4-joke (yeah, i know). that, and the DIY bug that i'm afflicted with, meant that i would repair the bike myself. so, i replaced the front wheel rim (i used the old rim of the kb125 and its looking good), replaced the disc brake pads, master cylinder piston kit, changed the brake fluid, handle bar and the control switches and the front fork inner tubes. now this is usually a couple of hours of work for a seasoned mechanic; it took me three weeks to do it in my spare time. the learning, nonetheless, was unbeatable. a few more things need to be done but those can wait.

on to the kb - i have been hunting for parts myself. the latest sojourn into the back alleys of Karol Bagh resulted in a stator plate assembly and one shop-keeper admitted to having a cylinder kit stacked away somewhere in his store. he's promised to find it for me. again, i'm not being too pushy lest he get put-off and refuse point blank. liaison with an ASS near my place of residence revealed an altogether different facet of the BAL - ASS relationship. you see, you may be tempted to approach the customer service department of BAL and enquire for spares. they in turn will ask you for the nearest ASS to which they can courier the parts. when i asked this ASS manager if i could forward their name to BAL for the parts, he suggested something different. he said that if i were to give their ASS's name to BAL for the parts, BAL would instead lodge it as a complaint against them. he advised me to give him a list of the spares i wanted and that they themselves would check up with BAL about their availability. i'll be following up on that offer very soon.

packed in Apr 2010. now that offers a glimmer of hope, however faint it may be.

another thing i've noticed is that not all part numbers have changed. i'm talking about the new XX###### format being followed by BAL these days.
