Around The World

Hello all, let's sip a cup of tea and check what's going on around the world.

World cup soccer on full swing. If you haven't caught the fever, just mingle with your friends, no doubt you'll be infected too. US clinched to the next round in last minute. A slicing kick to goal by Donovan, when there was just 3.5 minutes left to go, was a big moment for US soccer fans. But when I finished writing this blog, Ghana has already defeated US. I love the custom in US that you watch game with few beers. Not because Budweiser sponsor major sports events in Television, may be because you don't feel the pain of loosing. European soccer fans shall consider following this custom.

While BP is eagerly awaiting that something will happen to turn media focus off the rig at Gulf Coast, but unfortunately no luck. Even world cup soccer is not helping them. Look at the impact it has created. 9 lives of people, environmental, industrial, political, and all sorts of effects. The complexity of technology involved in off-shore drilling questions if they are equipped well with safety measures. May be every industry has this kind of risk which probably might have never happened before.

The entire world surprised at Bhopal verdict in India. The surprise is that it took 26 years to come up with a verdict. No doubt that any crime won't be remembered longer, and thus helps reducing capital punishment. Wowwwww, What a nice strategy!!!!!!

iPhone version 4 released. Every version of iPhone is getting popularity like Windows use to get for its every version. Hey, Guess what, the big byte of this version is that it is 25% percent thinner than its recent predecessor. Never thought obesity is a problem among smart phones!!

Porn sites are getting xxx domain!!! Hey, that is discrimination. I feel bad for this industry and site owners, who dedicated their life to provide an outstanding service to Internet, and now become victims of domainization!!!

A.R. Rahman, the Indian icon and world's renowned music composer, is currently touring US for concerts. Despite the recession in US, I heard the concert ticket prices are expensive. My first question to concert promotors is, "We are in recession. Do you accept grocery store coupons?". If they do or not, we still wish them JAI HO(May victory be yours)
