The much awaited launch of iPhone could be as early as september 2008 in India.Earlier, it was reported that Apple's iPhone launched could be delayed due market problems.But,reports indicate that an Indian iPhone could be just around the corner, allegedly available in September between Rs 27,200 and Rs 28,000.

Vodafone is expected to have the 8GB iPhone during the first week of September, with the 16GB version to surface in the middle of 2009. The news reportedly comes from Apple sources in Singapore, who only a few months ago was revealed as "tight lipped" until recently. Because of the excessive delay, iPhones are commonly bought on the grey market, unlocked. This has a consequence of lowering overall call quality, and a few other drawbacks.

So, get ready all iPhone lovers for the launch !!!

Dhoni rewards Green Park pitch curator

A grateful Mahendra Singh Dhoni sent a note of thanks and Rs 10,000 to Green Park stadium's pitch curator for preparing the turning track that helped the hosts clinch the series-levelling win over South Africa in the third Test here.
Curator Shiv Kumar said he was pleasantly surprised to receive a personal note of thanks and the cash reward from the stand-in Test skipper after the hosts beat the Proteas inside three days on a crumbling pitch to level the series 1-1.
Kumar said regular Test skipper Anil Kumble, who missed the decider due to a groin injury, also came down to meet and thank him for preparing the "spinner-friendly" pitch after the match.
Off spinner Harbhajan Singh, who won the man of the series award for scalping 19 wickets, also met Kumar to praise and thank him.
However, Kumar maintained that the Green Park wicket was a sporting one and it was unfair to say that it only aided the slower bowlers.
"The South African batsmen just couldn't get used to it (the pitch) and were unsure of how the ball would behave," he said.

Inflation skyrockets to 7.41%, UPA in trouble.

Inflation, Inflation,inflation!!!!. What is inflation and what impact it has on price rise of essential commodities ?Everyone, from the opposition party to the common man are talking about inflation and price rise. The media flashes "Breaking News" of the weekend inflation numbers and debates endlessly about its impact on the Indian economy.The economists dread these huge inflation numbers and worry about its direct impact on price rise.Indian inflation for this weekend is 7.41% as against 6.98% the previous week.

Inflation is a direct relation between the supply chain and demand for the product. When the demand inflammates and also the supply of the goods decreases, the prices obviously goes up.The rate at which the prices of everything go up is called the "rate of inflation". For example, if the price of something is Rs.100 this year and next year the price becomes approximately Rs.104 then the rate of inflation is 4%. If the price of something is Rs.80 then after a year with a rate of inflation of 4% the price go up to (80 x 1.04) = Rs.83.2.

So, a higher rate of inflation means the value of the product, you buy increses or the value of your money reduces.That is why, the Left parties and others demand the UPA government to take necessary fiscal measures to bring down the inflation rate and also the prices of essential commodities.

The Finance minister says that the global prices have risen up and so the prices in India also go up. It is learnt that inflation in many countries at this point of time is in double digits.

China - 11.5%

Turkey-9.3%

Venezula-22.4%

So, only way for you and me is to spend our money tactically and save some for the future.

I am eager to work with Rajni sir: Ash

The reigning queen of Bollywood and the humble Bachhan bahu, Aishwarya Rai, is all set and raring to work with Tamil matinee idol and superstar Rajnikanth. Rumours milled that Ash, has rejected the offer to act in Rajni's forthcoming heavy weight, "Robot" due to rather less salary she would get from it(4 Crores!!!).

Aishwarya was of the view that, it would be difficult for her to concentrate on one single film for over 2 years and paid just about 4 crores. She obviously would miss out on many Bollywood offers if she commited to "Robot", which may take around 2 years in production(we know how many days director Shankar would take to direct a film !!!).

But after, Rajni had a deliberation with his good friend and Father-in-law of Aishwarya Rai, Amitabh Bacchhan, she has agreed to act in "Robot".

When asked why she accepted superstar Rajnikanth starrer Robot, Aishwarya said: "I want to work with Rajni sir, yaar. He is phenomenal. Everyone speaks of this experience. I'll actually go through the experience. It's very important for me to come away with something from my films since I give so much."
The film is directed by Shankar, who gave Aishwarya her first break in Jeans.She also spoke about, Rajni, the human being and someone very humble.

"Rajni sir, being the senior that he is, has shown no egoistic traits in approaching me for his last four-five films. And my refusal to do his films was never misconstrued by him. I admire him for that. It speaks volumes for his seniority and his calibre as a human being to never take offence to my no", Ash said.

But, Rajni and Ash combination would sizzle only at the end of 2009.

Egos in the Indian Davis cup team: Paes

Leander Paes, the captain of the Indian Davis Cup team, agreed that ther are egos in the Indian tennis team and also said that it is a challenge for him to overcome it as a responsible captain. Leander's captaincy credentials were questioned by his own players during its last encounter against Uzbekistan, in the Davis cup tie.

The players headed by friend turned rival, Mahesh Bhupathi, had given a written letter about Leander's conduct to the Indian Tennis Association. The players subsequently, rejected to play under him. It is also known that, the association had asked the players to co-operate,and play under him one last time against Japan.

And this, disclosure, ahead of the tie against Japan, has once against revived the ghosts."The team that has egos performs better," said Paes.

"As an athlete you always have an ego but that also means that these guys will put their heart out when they go on court. If there is unhappiness, as a captain, I have to evolve and handle it. It's tough being a captain but the most important thing is I believe in my team," he said. However, Mahesh Bhupathi, who led the revolt against his former doubles partner, assured that all was well within the team. "We have known for the past one month that we will play against Japan and we are all ready for the tie. We are all professionals," he said.

Paes, on his part, maintained that the team was still sorting out certain issues.

Let the egos subside and the games begin.
