Euro cup Germany and Italy: foes Germany and Italy spar for Spain final

(Reuters) - Germany's bid to reach the Euro 2012 final by beating Italy for the first time in 17 years on Thursday looks strong with Joachim Loew's young side on song while Cesare Prandelli's team have injury doubts.

The Germans will be wary however, as when they last met in a competitive outing at the 2006 World Cup on home soil the Italians crashed their party with a 2-0 semi-final win, Germany's first loss in Dortmund.

Loew's tournament pacesetters also know they have failed to beat Italy in seven tournament encounters but will be confident of setting up a meeting with holders Spain in Kiev on Sunday.

Germany have scored the most goals at Euro 2012 (nine) and have won all four matches so far, while Italy have had two days less rest heading into their 1845 GMT clash at the National Staium in Warsaw.

Italy, who have only won one match in 90 minutes in Ukraine and Poland,

could also be missing defenders Giorgio Chiellini and Ignazio Abate while midfielder Daniele De Rossi, like Abate, came off with a muscle injury in the quarter-final against England that went to penalties.

Germany's sole concern is midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger,

who is nursing a nagging ankle injury and has yet to peak in this tournament but Loew has said he should start.

RBI(Reserve Bank of India): has put the pressure back where it should be: Jim Walker, Asianomics

The Reserve Bank of India's move to keep policy rates unchanged last week demonstrates why it is labeled as Asia's best central bank, said Jim Walker, managing director of Hong Kong-based Asianomics.

In an interview with ET, Walker, who is known for accurately forecasting the US slump in 2008, said India is a good trading bet now but it is not a fundamental buy as he is yet to see concrete evidence of the government getting serious about addressing its fiscal deficit and the overall debt.

Edited excerpts:

The favourable Greek election result does not seem to have eased concerns among investors going by the way the market is attacking Spain. What are your thoughts?

The Greek election result did not reduce uncertainty (it would almost have been better if the leftists had won and a Greek exit all but assured).

Instead, there will now be a Greek coalition which will have difficulty in agreeing over anything, but which must attempt to re-negotiate the terms of the bailout.

This will be watched very closely by Ireland and Portugal which will also want to benefit from any easier terms offered to Greece.

That leaves the political mess worse, not better. As for Spain, again, the Greek election makes no difference here.

Spain has a bust banking system because it is so closely related to a bust property market. The last plan was to bail out Spanish banks - through lending to the Spanish government - to the tune of 100 billion euros.

That would have increased sovereign debt by 10% of GDP but why would anyone think that 100 billion euros was enough? Spain's GDP is just over 1 trillion euros. Its corporate debt-to-GDP is 193% while its household debt-to-GDP is 91%, which is 284% altogether.

Even if just 10% of that is bad it would require 284 billion euros to support the Spanish banks. The reason the markets have not settled is that they now recognise how big the problem is.

There is a feeling in the market that the eurozone break-up is inevitable. Do you agree?

Yes. It is the only quick way to get growth up and running again in the peripheral European economies. Their currencies have to devalue.

Large chunks of wealth have to be wiped out and huge swathes of debt have to be defaulted on.

That is the only way to solve the problem quickly - economic growth would move into the 5-10% range within 18 months (of course, after the GDP has fallen by around 25%).

The alternative is to do what the Europeans are currently trying to do - adjust a misallocated system via depression and deflation.

The problem there is that it takes many years to adjust in this way which means many elections that might end up overturning the whole process.

The US economy is showing signs of faltering with jobs data showing a downward trend as you predicted earlier this year. What are the chances of a QE3? Will this be enough to revive growth?

The QE programmes have done nothing for growth or even addressed the core problem. There is still too much leverage in the system and economic growth will be subdued until people and companies feel happier about their balance sheets.

The US monetary policy just ensures that the process will be more like Japan's than the experience of the Asian Crisis in 1997-98.

Bear in mind that part of Bernanke's whole plan, keeping interest rates at near zero, is deeply flawed. First, it signals to business that there is no growth coming and, therefore, signals that they should not expand.

Secondly, it distorts the price of capital - which was the problem in the first place - and makes it impossible to calculate whether an investment is truly likely to make money or not. That again freezes the system.

QE3 will not help in this respect at all.

Airlines in trouble : 5 biggest worries for Kingfisher Airlines,airline needs to worry

About 80 engineers have quit beleaguered Kingfisher Airlines during the past four months due to non-payment of salaries by the near-bankrupt carrier, sources said.

"Some 60-80 engineers have already quit the carrier in the last 4-5 months, as they could not sustain non-payment of salaries. And more are planning to do so," airline sources said.

Some more engineers are in the process of bidding good-bye to the carrier, they said, adding that "if the trend continues, the airline may face severe shortage of engineers".

Here are five reasons the airline needs to worry:

1. The airline is now at the bottom of the market pie with its share nose-diving to a mere 5.2 per cent in May from as high as 20 per cent last year on account of a truncated flight schedule.

2. The airline, which has not posted profit since its inception in May 2005, made a loss of Rs 1,151.5 crore in the March quarter, has debt of over Rs 7,500 crore and an equal amount of accumulated losses. The Bangalore-based carrier, which has also been defaulting on tax payments as well as bills to its vendors, has been seeking fresh bank funds since last December apart from trying to raise overseas funds unsuccessfully.

3. The airline’s shares have plummeted more than 80 per cent since the beginning of 2011, shrinking the airline's market value to just under $100 million.

4. India's plans to allow foreign airlines to invest up to 49 per cent in local carriers, which Kingfisher has lobbied hard for, has not yet to be approved, adding to its funding crisis.

Mallya has repeatedly insisted that several domestic and international investors are interested in his company, and for months the names of many foreign airlines and local tycoons have been reported as prospective "White Knights", but so far there has been much talk and no money.

5. Kingfisher needs at least $500 million immediately to keep flying, according to the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation.

If Kingfisher fails to turn the airline around, its lenders would be left to pick over the carcass in a country that does not have a formal bankruptcy process.

European aircraft maker Airbus has already accommodated Kingfisher by pushing its aircraft deliveries back in the queue.

The company would lose orders for 92 planes with a combined list price of $12 billion if Kingfisher is unable to pay up. It would also see Kingfisher's fleet enter the second-hand market.

Facebook changes users' email address,now Whats new in facebook....

MENLO PARK: Facebook has changed your email address. At least that's how many felt after a quiet but vast change in the way the company displays users' contact information.



Facebook replaced the email address users chose when they signed up and changed it to a facebook.com address. The Facebook email accounts allow users to communicate with outside email addresses via Facebook.

The changes were first pointed out by bloggers over the weekend and publicized by media outlets Monday, leading to gripes from users, usually on their Facebook pages.

The company said in a statement in April that it was "updating addresses on Facebook to make them consistent across our site."

Facebook spokeswoman Jillian Stefanki said the site is also rolling out a setting that allows people to decide which email addresses to show on their pages.

"Ever since the launch of timeline, people have had the ability to control what posts they want to show or hide on their own timelines, and today we're extending that to other information they post, starting with the Facebook address," Stefanki said in an email late Monday.

Yuvraj Singh :in Sri Lanka World Twenty20 is my target,upcoming t20 for india,

BANGALORE: Raising the possibility of a return to international cricket at the World Twenty20, dashing all-rounder Yuvraj Singh resumed his fitness drills at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore on Monday.

Yuvraj, who was at the NCA a fortnight ago for a brief session, said his body was regaining strength as his rehabilitation progressed.

"Feeling good. My body will become stronger stage by stage.

World Twenty20 is my target. Hopefully I can be ready a little before that," said India's World Cup hero, who is recovering after undergoing treatment for cancer in the United States.

Yuvraj may play in pre-season domestic tournaments in the southern states.

"I have to see the schedule.

May be in August, I should play a few tournaments down south. I am not sure about the dates so I have to check," said the 30-year-old who has not appeared in any form of the game since last November when he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

The Shafi Darashah Trophy in Bangalore, Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament in Chennai and Moin ud Dowla Gold Cup in Hyderabad are the three tournaments scheduled to be played in the next three months.

With the World T20 starting scheduled between September 18 and October 7 in Sri Lanka, Yuvraj is not in a rush but wants to be 100 per cent fit before resuming international cricket.

"I will be in NCA for a while now.

I want to come back and play for India, that's my goal. It's not very easy on the body.

I have gone through a lot and my body has gone through a lot of shock. People are expecting me to come back very quickly, but I don't want to rush," said the left-hander.

Bol Bachchan : cheating case to be heard in court today,review..Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan's new film Bol Bachchan,in Nagpur court

New Delhi: The distribution rights case of Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan's new film Bol Bachchan will be heard today in a Nagpur court.

The court will hear the arguments of the producers, Ajay Devgn's company Ashtavinayak Cine Vision. The planned July 6 release of the film will depend on the court's decision.

The Nagpur based distributors, Hira Laxmi Amusement, have alleged that Ajay's company dishonoured a deal and refused to return an advance of Rs. 1 crore. They have asked the court to stay the release of the film till the matter is resolved.

Ajay Devgn earlier said he had not cheated anyone. "It is ridiculous. The matter is in court and with the association. He is saying something, we are saying something. So whoever is right, the right thing will be done," Ajay told PTI. (Read: Bol Bachchan rights - Ajay denies cheating distributor)

Bol Bachchan is a romantic-comedy film directed by Rohit Shetty, and starring Abhishek Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Asin Thottumkal and Prachi Desai in lead roles.

Wimbledon 2012: Maria Sharapova v Anastasia Rodionova - live!,tennis today news

First set: *Sharapova 5-1 Rodionova
The stunned Centre Court crowd are trying their best to buoy up Rodionova. And it works. Rodionova gets to 40-30, her first game point, although two quick points later it's set point Sharapova. The Russian blinks, and it's deuce. Advantage Rodionova. Deuce.

Advantage Rodionova. Deuce. Advantage Sharapova. Deuce.

Advantage Rodionova. Deuce. Advantage Sharapova. Deuce. Advantage Rodionova. Game Rodionova! That probably took as long as the other five games combined.

First set: Sharapova 5-0 Rodionova*
Wait, Sharapova is human after all. The Russian sends a forehand long at 15-0, and lets up again at 40-15, but Rodionova then scoops a backhand long as Sharapova holds to 30. 5-0 in 14 minutes. Will I still get paid for this? "Motorbiking to work this morning, I spotted a hoarding of La Sharapova advertising Evian," chirps Gary Naylor. "Just for a moment, I thought it was her in person, but even she's not 12 foot tall is she? I live only a couple of miles or so from the AELTC, but I've never seen a player in Tooting during 27 Championships - I wonder why?" The way she's playing, Sharapova probably feels about 20 foot tall right now.

First set: *Sharapova 4-0 Rodionova
Sharapova takes the first point with a vicious forehand drive volley. Then it's a blistering backhand return winner. Rodionova rolls her eyes, and before she knows it it's 0-40, three break points. And she flunks a forehand into the net. There's the double break. This is brutal.

First set: Sharapova 3-0 Rodionova*
Um, I'm already running out of ways to say this. Sharapova is completely dominant and holds to love. She's conceded just the one point in six minutes. At this rate, the Centre Court patrons will be off having their tea and sandwiches quicker than you can say "double bagel".

First set: *Sharapova 2-0 Rodionova
Rodionova can't buy a point. 0-15, 0-30, 0-40, three break points. But look, Sharapova nets! 15-40. But Rodionova responds in kind, slapping a tame forehand into the net. Exasperated, the Australian raises her arms to the skies.

First set: Sharapova 1-0 Rodionova* (*denotes next server)
Sharapova opted not to play a warm-up tournament on grass following her French Open win, not that you'd know the way she starts here. 15-0, 30-0, 40-0, game. In less than a minute. Though Rodionova helps by throwing in a mixture of unforced errors. Already she's struggling with the depth and power of Sharapova's shots.

It's sunny! Enjoy it while it lasts. According to the Wimbledon weather man it'll be raining by tomorrow.

Tok, tok, tok, they're on court and warming up. This is usually the time when I'd describe the players' garish outfits. But because it's Wimbledon, of course they're wearing white. Though Sharapova does have a flash of yellow on her straps. Rodionova won the toss and has chosen to receive.

Pre-match stat attack. We've got some new stats for you this year, courtesy of IBM. They've been looking at the keys to this match, which you can access via their SlamTracker.

Pre-match musings. Sharapova's thoughts on switching from the red clay of Roland Garros to the green grass of Wimbledon: "I think it's the toughest back-to-back grand slam-wise, without a doubt. Especially if you're coming off a French Open win, or a final, it's the toughest turnaround. As much as you want to celebrate and enjoy it, you come here and it's like a whole new ball game. But I think that's the beauty of tennis, there's so much out there to achieve. It always seems like it's back to back, so that's nothing really new."

Venus Williams is out. The five-times champion looked a shadow of her former self in a 6-1, 6-3 defeat to Elena Vesnina. Her last Wimbledon appearance? Possibly. Though she will be back for the Olympics later this summer. Xan has more in his blog.

Afternoon all. OK, OK, so England are out of Euro 2012. But there's a tennis tournament going on too, you know. And why dwell on another England quarter-final defeat on penalties, when you can look forward to another Andy Murray semi-final defeat to Rafael Nadal?

But I'm getting ahead of myself. After Novak Djokovic's straightforward win over Juan Carlos Ferrero, it's now Maria Sharapova's turn to lay down a marker on the pristine Centre Court. Fresh from claiming a maiden French Open title, completing a career grand slam and regaining the world No1 ranking, Sharapova is looking to win Wimbledon for the first time since stunning Serena Williams in the 2004 final. Here's a reminder of that, in case you're feeling nostalgic.

Sharapova's victim opponent today is the world No133, Anastasia Rodionova. They're two of the 26 "ovas" in the women's draw, my programme notes reliably inform me. And this is an all-Russian clash of sorts; Rodionova was born and grew up in Russia, although she now represents Australia.

Sharapova hasn't lost a set in her four previous encounters against Rodionova, while Rodionova is 0-18 against top-10 ranked opponents. So a straight-sets win it is, then.

Delhi airport attacks: Police arrest suspected handler of 26/11 attacks at Delhi airport

New Delhi: In the weeks after 26/11, as India tried to piece Mumbai back together, and connect the dots of ten terrorists who ravaged the city, taped conversations revealed how meticulously the cold-blooded terror attack was orchestrated.

There were ten men who sailed into Mumbai from Karachi on 26/11.

Operating in pairs, they moved to different landmarks. In 72 hours, 166 people were killed.

The terrorists took many of their cues from six handlers who were on the phone to them from Pakistan. One of them was of special interest to Indian intelligence officials.

Not just because he told the duo at Nariman House to let their victims know that "Yeh to sirf trailer hai, asal film baaki hai (this is just the trailer, the film has yet to start rolling)."

But because he used a smattering of Hindi words, rather than Urdu, in his lengthy tutorials.

He talked of "Prashasan" (administration), "Udharan" (example) and "yuvak" (youth). Indian intelligence officials believed this was a "local hand."

Today, they confirmed that he has been arrested.

Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Hamza alias Abu Jundal was arrested on June 21, the government confirmed. The Delhi police officially maintains that he was picked up from the Indira Gandhi International Airport - without explaining why he would risk travelling to India, or how he boarded a plane given that there's an Interpol red corner notice (the equivalent of an international arrest warrant) for him.

He belongs to the Beed district of Maharashtra, and is also wanted for the attacks on local trains in Mumbai in 2006 in which 180 people were killed.

Home Minister P Chidambaram did not confirm or deny whether reports that he was deported from Saudi Arabia are correct.

"The person who goes by the pseudonym of Abu Jindal has been apprehended and remanded to the custody of our law enforcement agencies," he said.

Police sources said Ansari has been arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), the Explosives Act and the Passport Act.

He is, for India, a big breakthrough in the Mumbai 26/11 investigations.

Abu Hamza, who had 10 aliases, is named in both the case chargesheet and the dossier that India has handed to Pakistan.

This is the first time that investigating agencies have in their custody a man who was on the inside of the 26/11 plot.

Sources in the Delhi Police say that they were given vital information on Abu Hamza by another terrorist arrested last year in connection with the blast at Delhi's Jama Masjid in 2010.

The police was told that the 26/11 handler had stayed in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and was recruiting and raising funds for the Lashkar-e-Taiba in countries including Saudi Arabia.

Abu Hamza's voice samples will now be matched against the recordings. Ajmal Kasab, the lone terrorist arrested after the Mumbai 26/11 attacks, has mentioned Abu Hamza's role in court. He said that while he was training in Pakistan, it was the handler who taught Hindi to him and the others who executed the 26/11 attacks.

Ansari, who has trained at the Indian Technical Institute at Beed, is believed to have become a jihadi after the Gujarat riots.

Among the many terror plots that security agencies believe he played a role in, was also an alleged plot to assassinate Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

He is alleged to have first joined the banned group SIMI (Students Islamic Movement of India), then the Indian Mujahideen and later, the Pakistan-based Lashker-e-Taiba.

Intelligence sources believe he has been a vital link between the Indian Mujahideen and the Lashkar.

Pakistan had said earlier that Abu Hamza had been arrested. It will now have to elaborate on how this man was then allegedly travelling to Saudi Arabia and other countries in recent months.

Amarnath Yatra : 12,000 pilgrims arrive for Amarnath Yatra

The first batch of Hindu pilgrims, consisting of 12,000 people from across the country arrived Sunday morning at the two base camps in Jammu and Kashmir for the Amarnath Yatra, even as the authorities stepped up the three tier security along the route of the pilgrimage.

The Yatra for the Himalayan Cave Shrine is scheduled to begin Monday.

Around 10,000 pilgrims reached the north Kashmir Baltal base camp in the morning.

Reports from the south Kashmir Pahalgam base camp said around 2,000 pilgrims were waiting there to start the 34-kilometre long trek to the Cave Shrine tomorrow.

Paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), the state police and the Army have stepped up efforts to provide the three-tier security cover to the Yatra.

While pilgrims take four days from the Pahalgam base camp to reach the cave, those using the Baltal route return back to the base camp after the 'darshan' the same day.

The trek from Baltal to the Cave Shrine is 14 kilometres long.

Situated at an altitude of 13,000 feet, the Amarnath Cave houses the 'Holy Lingam' an ice stalagmite structure believed to symbolise the powers of Lord Shiva.

The 'Lingam' waxes and wanes with the cycles of the moon till the end of the Yatra coinciding with the Hindu festival of 'Shravan Purnima'.

This year's Yatra will officially begin tomorrow and end on August 2.

State governor, N.N. Vohra who is also the chairman of the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) visited the two base camps of the Yatra and various halting points en route to the Cave Shrine Saturday along with a team of state government officials.

The SASB has said the twin treks from Baltal and Pahalgam have been cleared for the passage of the pilgrims even though Vohra said the treks were still slippery at many places.

Scores of makeshift tea-stalls and food shops have been opened by local Muslims along the 85-kilometre long Srinagar-Baltal route for the pilgrims.

All the potters and ponywallahs assisting the passage of the pilgrims along both the Yatra treks are local Muslims who eagerly wait for the arrival of the Hindu pilgrims to earn their livelihood.

Dozens of other state government offices including medical department, public health engineering, public works, revenue etc are also detailed on Yatra duties to facilitate its smooth conduct.

Amarnath Yatra begins amid tight security from Jammu ,Annual Amarnath yatra begins (Lead)

Jammu, Sunday, June 24, 2012: The annual 46-day pilgrimage to the holy cave shrine of Baba Amarnathji started today from Jammu with first batch of yatris getting ready to proceed to forward base camps of Nunwan in Pahalgam and Baltal in Sonamarg.

The first batch consisting of 2,294 pilgrims was flagged off from Bagwati Nagar base-camp in Jammu around 0430

hours by the minister for tourism Nawang Rigzin Jora and political advisor to chief minister Devinder Rana.

First batch of pilgrims included 1,469 males, 476 females, 108 children and 241 sadhus, which left in 69 vehicles including 51 buses and 18 Light motor vehicles (LMVs) amid tight mobile security escort of CRPF.

Singing religious slogans, hymns and prayers, the pilgrims with holy bandannas tied to their fore-heads left for the Valley amid joy and happiness for their onward journey to Amarnath.

“The yatra has begun this year. We pray for a peaceful yatra to all the pilgrims. A batch of pilgrims have been flagged off here marking the beginning of Amarnath yatra”, Jora told reporters here at base-camp.

A total of 3.5 lakh pilgrims have already been registered for the yatra which will conclude on August two on Raksha Bandhan.

Geared up to ensure an incident-free and peaceful pilgrimage,

CRPF has activated its security set-up and deployed 57 companies for security of the Yatra.

“As many as 57 security companies have been deployed for the yatra in Jammu and Kashmir,” a senior CRPF officer told PTI.

He said of these, 12 companies have been put on job for security of Amarnath yatra in Jammu region, while 45 companies have been deployed in the Valley for the yatra.

Abheek Anand (IITD-alum) sells company to Facebook

http://www.iitralumni.net/modules.php?name=Submit_News


Abheek Anand, 32, was feeling a tad sad during his Singapore Airlines flight from San Francisco, which landed here on Tuesday morning.

That's because the IIT-Delhi alumnus sold his startup Tagtile to Facebook last Friday after "nurturing it for a year like a baby".


"We were looking for a distribution network.

And Facebook was looking for a technology partner in the mobile space. What better network on the planet than Facebook," says Anand, still jet-lagged from an 18-hour flight, and clad in jeans and a check shirt.

Tagtile was bought by Facebook the same week the social networking company acquired mobile photo sharing service Instagram for a billion dollars.

Anand and his co-founder Soham Majumdar, an IIT-Kanpur alumnus, are joining Facebook as product manager and engineer, respectively, with millions in their bank accounts and coveted Facebook stock options ahead of its IPO.

Anand declined to disclose the amount of cash and stock Facebook paid them for the deal, but added it was the "in millions of dollars".

Tagtile was born in a Mediterranean restaurant, Fatoush, in San Francisco around Valentine's Day last year over a glass of beer.

"Abed, the restaurant owner, complained that customers from deal sites such as Groupon seldom visited the restaurant again.

They gave very few tips and there was no repeat buying," says Anand. "There was no way to gain knowledge about customers' preferences."

Anand, who hails from Sahibabad near Delhi, was working at Engine Yard, a cloud computing startup in the Bay Area. Son of a doctor couple, he was keen to "burn the boats" and start on his own. Ranchi-born Majumdar was working with Google as a software engineer in Mountain View, California.

"We both knew each other from the IIT gang in Bay Area. We both wanted to start up eagerly." Four angel investors came together to pool in about half-a-million dollars and Tagtile was born in March 2011.

Back in India, the parents of both founders were not too happy with Tagtile's birth. "We were never from a business family, so felt very anxious. But after they came out with their product in three months, we felt better," says Shibnath Majumdar, the father of 31-year-old Soham who is married to a Google engineer.

"We are all Facebook users. Now we feel very proud of them," adds Majumdar, who retired as a general manager at Steel Authority of India. Anand's mother Dr Reshma Anand said she was very tense in the first few months. "But at the back of my mind, I knew he would never be happy in a 'job'."

Tagtile's business model is different from that of large discount sites such as Groupon or LivingSocial. A Tagtile application can be downloaded on any Android or Apple phone. To merchants, Tagtile offers a white, cube-shaped device that can be plugged near the cashier's desk.

Once the phone of a user is brought near the plugged tile, it can 'tag' a purchase.

The app works like a Farmville game. More 'tags' unlock a goal, which can be "Buy 8 coffees and get one free" or "Get 6 meals and the seventh is on us".

Anand, who uses a Nokia 1280, besides an iPhone and a MacBook, claims to use a technology which he and Majumdar have patented.

It does not employ near field communication (NFC) technology that is typically used for similar applications. Instead, it's a mix of technologies which use a phone's gyroscope, radio and wireless signals to tag.

The Facebook product team got in touch with Tagtile at the end of February this year.

That's when Tagtile was on its way to receive about $1 million (Rs 5.2 crore) in venture capital funding. "The conversation was around partnership. Facebook wanted to get into local business monetisation and deals.

Slowly they got interested in buying us out," smiles Anand.

From the first conversation in February to buyout, the deal was done within three weeks.

"The rest was paperwork for the dissolution of the Tagtile brand and signing papers.

It concluded just two days before I boarded the flight to Delhi," says Anand, who will join Facebook in Palo Alto by next month.

In the journey from starting up to selling out, the Stanford and IIT networks came in handy to get references.

And there were low periods as well, especially when they were not getting any customers.

But then came a break in October 2011 when Tagtile won an award for Best Startup award in Under the Radar, a contest among 100-odd startups in the Valley. They celebrated with a glass of Malbec grape wine.

After their lawyer pestered them for a name for the company that would own the Tagtile brand, they registered it as Malbec Labs.

How does the Sahibabad boy feel now? "My sister has just delivered a baby. The million-dollar baby now is second preference for our family," says Anand, who is still single.

Saina Nehwal

Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal got a shot in the arm ahead of next month’s Olympics as she lifted the Thailand Open Grand Prix Gold title after rallying to beat Thailand’s Ratchanok Inthanon in the final of the event in Bangkok today.

The 22-year-old world number five Indian beat Inthanon 19-21 21-15 21-10 at the C U Sport Complex in Bangkok for her second title of the year after the Swiss Open win in March.

The win will come as a massive boost to Saina’s confidence ahead of Olympics in July-August.

The top seeded Indian was scratchy to start with but drew from her experience and superb maneuvering at the net to beat her second-seeded 17-year-old rival.

Although it was a see-saw battle to start with, Inthanon’s energy and fabulous baseline play stood out. The smash winner, which is Saina’s stock shot, was coming out more frequently from the Thai’s racquet who seemed to revel amid the partisan crowd’s thunderous cheering.

Gangs Of Wasseypur : reviewa AND trailers

from...



http://www.naachgaana.com/2012/06/12/gangs-of-wasseypur-writer-faces-threat-to-life/

Even as Anurag Kashyap’s ambitious film Gangs of Wasseypur inches close to release, writer Syed Zeeshan Qadri finds himself in hot water. We hear he has been getting calls threatening him with life if he should ever return to Wasseypur.

Gangs of Wasseypur is set against the backdrop of Wasseypur, a small town near Dhanbad in Jharkhand, and revolves round the coal mafia in the region. Apparently, Qadri’s true-to-life story telling hasn’t gone down too well with some of the families involved and they are now out for revenge. As it is, the film is already in trouble with the residents of Wasseypur protesting the title as it could destroy their reputation.

A source close to Qadri told Mirror, “Syed is currently in Mumbai however he has spent his entire life in Wasseypur. Of late, he has been getting threat calls questioning his revealing so much about the coal mafia. The intensity of the threats is such that he has been dared to try and return to his hometown. There are many real-life characters in the film although Anurag maintains it’s a work of fiction.”

The source said, “Qadri is very scared right now. He has informed Anurag, who has asked him to lie low till the film’s release. Qadri’s family is still in his hometown but he cannot go back. Maybe, they will have to shift to Mumbai. For now, he is being very careful while answering his phone calls.”

It is learnt Syed has been barred from any communication with the media by the team of Gangs of Wasseypur.
