Finally a Football World Cup song in Hindi by UK NRIs

Britons of Indian origin have composed a lilting song in Hindi in support of David Beckham and the England football team — egging the players on to bring the World Cup home.

Radio presenter Sunny Kapoor hit upon the idea during his show on Kismat Radio, a popular radio station for South Asians here.

Khelo khelo josh me khelo,
Germany se World Cup lelo.
World Cup hamaraa hai,
Beckham ka sahara ha

Reports say that over 100 songs have been composed recently in support of the England team. This is the first song to be composed in Hindi or any Asian language, and is already a hit with listeners on Kismat Radio.

A MANjoined a big Multi National Company as a trainee…..

Arj Kiya Hai………

Main lafzon se kuch bhi izhaar nahi karta ,
iska matlab ye nahi ki main pyar nahi karta ,

Chahta hu main Use aaj bhi per,
uski soch main waqt bekar nahi karta

Tamasha na ban jaye yeh mohabbat meri
isliye apne dard ka izhaar nahi karta ,

Jo kuch mila hai usi me kush hu main,
uske liye khuda se takrar nahi karta ,

par kuch to baat hai uski fitrat main aye zalim,
warna use chahne ki khata baar-baar nahi karta …………

Google blocked in China

The Google.com search engine has been blocked in most parts of China, as Beijing steps up its efforts to restrict the public’s access to information, a Paris-based media watchdog said. Internet users in many major Chinese cities have had difficulty connecting to the uncensored international version of Google for the past week, Reporters Without Borders said in a statement received on Wednesday.

Aside from the Google.com search engine, Reporters Without Borders said the blocking was being gradually extended to the Google News and Google Mail services. “Google has just definitively joined the club of western companies that comply with online censorship in China,� Reporters Without Borders said. “It is deplorable that Chinese Internet users are forced to wage a technological war against censorship in order to access banned content.� Random attempts to access Google.com in Beijing confirmed that the international version of the search engine was unavailable.

Six Indians in Silicon Valley’s top 100

The San Francisco Chronicle and the San Jose Mercury News, on Monday, have independently listed six Indians among Silicon Valley’s 100 highest-paid executives.

Leading the group is Abhijit Talwalkar, President and CEO of LSI Logic, who earned a phenomenal $22.235 million in 2005.

Even at that compensation level, Talwalkar is only at No 10 on the list, which is led by Yahoo’s CEO Terry Semel, who earned $56 million in salary, bonuses and stock options. Following Talwalkar in the Desi list is Shantanu Narayen, president and COO of Adobe Systems, maker of the popular Photoshop and Acrobat Reader software. His earnings were $11 million for the financial year 2005. He comes in at No 33.

Close on his heels at No 35 is HP’s quiet achiever Vyomesh Joshi, who was once tipped to replace Carly Fiorina as the tech giant’s CEO after she was unceremoniously sacked by the Board. His earnings for the year were $10.8 million. Joshi is Executive Vice-President of the most profitable division at HP — the Imaging and Printing Group.

Rajiv Dutta, who is Internet auctioneer eBay’s executive vice-president and chief financial officer is ranked at No 38, with total earnings of $10.6 million. A distant No 84 is Sanjay Mehrotra, who pocketed a cool $7 million. Mehrotra, who is currently executive vice-president and chief operating officer of Sandisk, actually had a 36 per cent drop over his last year’s earnings, the report said.
