Read the news in Todays Times of India ( 28th Sep 2007) about the Prize Money given to India Cricket Players specially Robin Uthappa (rectangled in RED)
Yuvraj Singh hit 6 sixes of 6 balls in the bowling of Stuart Broad of England and that is record in Twenty20 match. He scored 36 runs of one over. His first six sent the ball out of the ground. He scored his half century in just 12 balls, which is quickest half century in international cricket.
Enjoy highlight of six sixes hit by Yuvraj Singh in a single over. Watch beginning of the video carefully… it seems that few words of anger with Flintoff charged him up… watch expression of Flintoff, when Yuvraj hit second six..he must be regretting for what he has done….

But many American executives and policymakers have not understood how these two Asian giants are progressing along different paths.
To understand how China is flying like a dragon, you must see how a quarter century after it began its transformation, hundreds of millions of Chinese have seen their prospects improve dramatically. The Chinese economy has blasted off. Foreign companies have poured more than $600 billion into China since 1978, far eclipsing what America spent on the Marshall Plan to save war-raged Europe after 1945.
The foreign investment in India is far smaller than in China. Foreign companies’ investment in India was just about $7.5 billion in the fiscal year that ended in last March. The companies invested the same amount in China every six weeks. India’s economy was lumbering alone, while China’s was flying into the future.
Imagine that the Indian Standard Time (IST) is advanced by half-an-hour to be six hours ahead of the Greenwich Mean Time or GMT.
“I can stick my neck out and say it is a win-win situation,†DP Sen Gupta, honorary professor at the National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) and one of the scientists who pitched this idea, told the Hindustan Times from Bangalore.
The likely effects: office goers will get an extra half-hour of evening daylight to commute home. Petty crime in the dusk may drop. Sixteen per cent of peak evening electricity will be saved.
But at 8 am in Silicon Valley, California, it will be 9 or 10 pm in India instead of 8.30 pm or 9.30 pm today. Global businesses operating out of India will overlap more with China and Japan than the US.
Children in Punjab will go to school in the dark due to later winter sunrises, unless schools change timings. And families in the north and west will switch on lights early morning for a few winter weeks. “Six hours would be an integral number. We belong to five per cent of the countries with fractional time differences (five and half hours),†Sen pointed out.
But the IST, the official time standard since Independence, will not be modified unless the Cabinet decides to. “I am aware of the proposal,†Union Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal told HT. “It’s for Cabinet to decide, it’s not a science and technology issue.â€
The scientists are sending their paper to the Planning Commission. “We would be happy to make a presentation to them or a Parliamentary sub-committee,†said the NIAS professor Dilip Ahuja.

Few days ago Startup Dunia talked about a new website coming out of the Reliance hive. The website is called Chintee.com. Chintee (means Ant).
The DNS servers are still pointing to zapak.com and the site used to redirect to BigAdda, which was just launched last week (Reliance social netowkring site).If you look at the registrant information, it is on Nikhil Soman’s name. Organization field is empty. I got this information from who.is query.
The site now provides options to vote for your best logo for the page. This is similar to what they did for BigAdda.com.There are speculations about the site whether its a search engine or something else. Well as the name refers Chintee (an Ant) crawls to places, may be this is a web site crawler.
But the time will tell whats the website about. Till then you can just go to site and vote for your best logo. I voted for Option 2. Thats the picture which comes to my mind when I think of a chintee.
Check it out. www.chintee.com
Brand Gandhi is about to get bigger on the global stage. As many as 114 UN member-countries joined hands on Monday to support India’s resolution to declare Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday on October 2 as the ‘International Day of Non-Violence’.
The move to get the international community to pay tribute to Gandhi’s ideology was a follow-up to the Satyagraha conference organised by the Congress early this year and a subsequent campaign launched by the government.
Speaking at the conference, titled ‘Peace, Non-Violence and Empowerment — Gandhian Philosophy in the 21st Century’, Congress president Sonia Gandhi had called for steps to get the Mahatma’s birthday marked as the International Day of Non-Violence.
Anand Sharma, minister of state for external affairs who was Sonia’s point person for the conference, welcomed the outpouring of global support to the campaign. ‘‘It’s great to see the global response to the declaration adopted at the Satyagraha conference.’’
