clipper's remarks: An Amazing Stitch!

I had a great time in India! I am very thankful to my various hosts for showing me such a good time.

Besides a weekend trip to the Taj Mahal, as you can see above, I was also treated to a full immersion into Bollywood here in Mumbai, the center of the movie world here in India. It started with a 3-hour viewing of Om Shanti Om, complete with a pre-show standing for the Indian national anthem. Afterwards, we ate dinner at Olive's, which is a trendy place where many of the Bollywood stars go to see and be seen by the Page 3 newspapers. My host was leaning over to me telling me who was the sister-in-law of whom and which directors were entering while escorting which starlets.

clipper's remarks: Yes Kumble is right. Just bcz Vijay Mallya has bought the team RC he cannot assume he can speak ill of one of the giants of Indian cricket - Rahul Dravid.

Vijay Mallya should search his own soul - have all his acquisitions and other business decisions been always right?

Kumble backs under-fire Dravid
Anil Kumble, India's Test captain, has firmly backed Rahul Dravid, the captain of the Bangalore Royal Challengers, and said it was time "people who matter" understand what sport is all about. Kumble's statement comes in wake of the comments made by franchise owner Vijay Mallya, who defended his decision to sack Charu Sharma, the chief executive, and also said his biggest mistake was to trust Dravid on matters of team selection.

Forget US, IITians prefer to stay home

They may be some of the most sought after techies in the US, but the Big Apple does not seem to hold its charm for IITians anymore. A study reveals the number of IITians opting to move to the US after graduation is steadily coming down. In the last five years, nearly 84% preferred to stay back and pursue a career in India.

The trend began from the class of 2002. Of the IITians who graduated in 2002 and later (including the class of 2008), only 16% went abroad. In comparison, between 1964 and 2001, 35% IIT graduates preferred to fly to the US.

Interestingly, 59% of IIT graduates before 2001 believed that the US and other developed countries provided better opportunities. However, in the last five years the mindset has undergone a change. Now, nearly 49% believe India is where the action lies.

James Bond vs. Hyderabad guy

James Bond Style : The character James Bond has a peculiar style of introducing himself by calling first Bond, then followed by great smile & finally James Bond.

His style is absolutely killing but he doesn't know the consequences when he meets our great south indian guy.

When Bond meets a Hyderabad guy

James Bond : "My name's Bond...(smiles and then says).... James Bond."

James Bond: "And you?"

Telugu Guy : "I am Sai...

Venkata Sai...

Alongside Al Gore, an Indian 'climate control' engineer

Rajendra Pachauri heads the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control, which was the co-winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize.

But his work ethic, along with the ability to build and inspire a team, helped win Dr. Pachauri his share of the Nobel Peace Prize with Mr. Gore on Friday, colleagues say. If Gore is the frontman of the crusade against global warming, then Pachauri runs the engine room as chairman of the UN Intergovern-mental Panel on Climate Control (IPCC), which was named co-winner of the prize with Gore.

Like Gore, Pachauri is a global-warming pioneer. Since the late 1980s, the former industrial engineer has sought to use science to convince skeptics and CEOs of the need of reducing mankind's atmospheric imprint. Now, he warns that if the problem is not addressed, developing nations will bear the brunt of the crisis, suffering for a situation they did not create because they have not the resources to mitigate it.
