Save the Tiger

Headline in the newspaper today:

Tiger population 1,411 in India: Report

Frankly, I don’t think there is a beast that comes anywhere close to the Tiger in the wild when it comes to personality. Its presence is just awesome. Even the Lion pales in comparison.
I feel really sad that this is the state of Tigers in India, [...]

Cricket’s day of shame

To an extent I agree with what is written in this article about the Harbhajan saga. I agree to the point that revenue considerations have taken centrestage over the issues and Cricket Australia and ICC caved into BCCI’s demands. If the Aussie players were really confident that Harbhajan had uttered the word they consider racial, [...]

Most trusted brand in India

Take a guess!!!
If I had to guess then it would have mostly been on the lines of Nirma or some product of HUL like Lux or Lifebuoy etc. But, according to the BrandAsset Valuator Survey by Young & Rubicam for Forbes.com, the most trusted local brand in India is Good Knight. Yes, I have typed [...]

50 influential Indian Americans

http://www.rediff.com/us/top50.html
Great to see names like Aswath Damodaran, Om Malik, Ram Shriram and Manoj Shyamalan. But, I find it ridiculous that the editor has left out PadmashreeWarrior. I am pretty sure that she has a bigger say in the telecom industry and in the corporate world in the United States than most of the people mentioned [...]

NT awards: NDTV India steals the show [Link]

Doctrate devalued?

Last week, I read that actor Satyaraj and music director Deva are going to become Dr.Satyaraj and Dr. Deva respectively. Well, they have done quite a bit in the cine field, but being honoured with a doctorate for that is slightly taking things too far. If this news came as a shock, the bigger shock [...]

Dayanidhi Maran Resigns

This was in the offing and the official comfirmation came a couple of hours back. The news that he had sent his resignation letter has been confirmed, but whether it has been accepted or not hasn’t come out. I think it would be accepted as DMK has issued a showcause notice to Maran on why [...]

Configuring Netgear’s WGT624 Wireless router – Using WPA Security Type

WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access and is a superior security type. In my previous post I had mentioned that I used WEP to configure the network. Naren had left a comment saying that WPA is better than WEP and I did a little bit of reading on that topic before starting the process of [...]

Are New Zealand and Australia in Asia??

At least Businessweek thinks so. My limited knowledge of Geography tells me that Australia is a continent and New Zealand is part of the larger Oceania group that constitutes Australia also.

New Zealand and Australian cities dominate the top slots in Mercer’s new ranking of Asia’s most desirable places to live.
China and India may represent [...]
