The company had six models in the top-ten best selling list as against just four in the same month last year.

Toyota Kirloskar Motor's multi purpose vehicle Innova Crysta has also found place in the list.

According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers Association (SIAM) MSI's Vitara Brezza occupied the tenth spot by selling 7,193 units in May, while the entry level model Alto continued to lead the best selling model chart with sale of 19,874 units.

MSI's compact sedan Dzire moved up to the second spot ahead of sibling Swift with sale of 14,413 units. Swift slipped to the fourth spot with sale of 12,355 units while Wagon R stood at third position with 13,231 units.

In the same month last year, Maruti had only four models in top 10 with Alto leading the pack followed by Swift, Dzire, and WagonR in second, third and fourth spots respectively.

In May, the premium hatchback Baleno stood at seventh spot with 10,004 units followed by hatchback Celerio at eighth position with 7,379 units.

Hyundai's Grand i10 stood at fifth position with 12,055 units while its premium compact Elite i20 stood at sixth position with sale of 10,472 units in May. Toyota's Innova made it to the ninth position with sales of 7,259 units.

Mahindra Bolero, Honda City and Hyundai Eon, which were there in the top ten list last year in May, did not make it to the top ten passenger vehicle list last month.

In the fast growing utility vehicle segment, only Bolero and Innova carried on from May last year. In May Innova stood first, followed by Maruti Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Creta and Mahindra KUV100 and Bolero rounding up the top five slots.

Models like Maruti Ertiga, Mahindra Scorpio and Ford EcoSport, which were there in the top five utility vehicles last May, failed to grab positions in the top five slots last month.

Washington D.C., Jan 12: A recent study has claimed that people end up wasting almost an entire day when they take a vacation.

This can happen while standing in a queue or searching for places to visit, people do not keep a count of the time they have actually utilised during the trip. As a result, they end up doing much lesser activities than they originally had planned.

According to a recent report in Fox News, the study has also shared the fact that people try to justify time waste with planning and scheduling activities whereas the truth is that these things can be done well ahead to save time during the trip.

The average time waste according to the study commissioned by Sykes Holiday Cottages also said the people taking a seven days' trip waste a minimum of 17-and-a-half hours to figure out various factors.

But there are other causes involved as well. When one visits any crowded location, the real-time spent to enjoy the location is lesser than the time spent on reaching and trying to get involved. For instance, if one visits an amusement park, the activities take lesser time than the preparatory and other phases.

Paris, Jul 2: Several interacting exoplanets have already been spotted by satellites. But a new breakthrough has been achieved with, for the first time, the detection directly from the ground of an extrasolar system of this type.

An international collaboration including CNRS researchers has discovered an unusual planetary system, dubbed WASP-148, using the French instrument SOPHIE at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence (CNRS/Aix-Marseille Universite).

The scientists analysed the star's motion and concluded that it hosted two planets, WASP-148b and WASP-148c. The observations showed that the two planets were strongly interacting, which was confirmed from other data.

Whereas the first planet, WASP-148b, orbits its star in nearly nine days, the second one, WASP-148c, takes four times longer. This ratio between the orbital periods implies that the WASP-148 system is close to resonance, meaning that there is enhanced gravitational interaction between the two planets. And it turns out that the astronomers did indeed detect variations in the orbital periods of the planets.

While a single planet, uninfluenced by a second one, would move with a constant period, WASP-148b and WASP-148c undergo acceleration and deceleration that provides evidence of their interaction.

The study will shortly be published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Bengaluru, Jul 28: Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Monday alleged that BJP is trying to destabilise the Congress government in Rajasthan.

"It is the duty of the Governor to act according to the decision of the state cabinet. But he is acting like a central government puppet," he said at a protest organised here by Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC).

He said the Congress is protesting across the country to save democracy and save the constitution.

"We are not fighting through violence. We are protesting peacefully. The Constitution has given the right to protest in a democratic system," he said.

He accused the BJP of "being disrespectful" to the Constitution.

"Governments must walk within the framework of the Constitution. The Constitution gives everyone rights and duties. BJP destabilises elected governments and buys our legislators by horse-trading by spending crores of money. The same thing happened in Karnataka as well," he alleged.
