Double Sunday treat for Indian cricket

SUPER SUNDAY 1/2
This time, the choke's not on India. It was hard labour as cricket fans furiously switched TV channels all Sunday, but in the end the reward was sweet and memorable. On a historic day for Indian cricket, youth and experience served up a double delight, coming up trumps in two tense final encounters spread across continents, bringing lumps to the throats of frenzied Indian fans from India to Kuala Lumpur to Sydney .
In KL, Delhi batsman Virat Kohli's Indian team won the Under-19 World Cup , beating South Africa in a bitterly fought, rain-hit final by 12 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis formula. Just hours before the colts exploded in a burst of euphoric celebrations, the experienced hand of Sachin Tendulkar had guided India to a convincing six-wicket victory over the mighty Australians in Sydney. Tendulkar scored a majestic, unbeaten 117 as India successfully chased 240 for victory, his first ODI ton in Australia and his 42nd overall. Here too he was aided by youth, as Rohit Sharma contributed 66 in a 123-run fourth-wicket stand.
MS Dhoni's team now have a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three tri-series finals, putting to shade all the snide off-field bluster from the likes of Matthew Hayden, and proving hollow Oz skipper Ricky Ponting's claim, in his TOI column, that the "third final won't be required".
The juniors didn't have Tendulkar's assured genius to bank upon, but as they have throughout the tournament, Kohli's boys backed themselves with gusto and raised their game in crucial situations to come up with a spirited win, India's second U-19 Cup triumph since Mohammad Kaif's team won in Sri Lanka in 2000.
It was a nervy affair from start to finish, and rain complicated the situation. Last time, the juniors had stumbled chasing 110 against Pakistan in the final, but this time they showed no such panic.
Magnificent Tendulkar seals victory
In 38 previous ODI innings in Australia, Sachin Tendulkar had never scored a hundred; in 11 previous one-day internationals against Australia in Sydney, India had never won. Both those jinxes were wiped out in a memorable evening at the SCG, as Tendulkar scripted a magnificent unbeaten 117 and shared a 123-run fourth-wicket stand with Rohit Sharma to take India to an emphatic six-wicket win and a 1-0 lead in the CB Series finals.
The match was a story of sizeable contributions by two openers - Matthew Hayden scored a brisk 82 - and two century partnerships for the fourth wicket - Andrew Symonds shared a 100-run stand with Hayden. Those efforts lifted Australia to a challenging 8 for 239, which, given the Australian bowling strength, might have been enough on another day. Today, though, they ran into an in-form Tendulkar.
From the outset, Tendulkar's approach suggested he was in the mood. In the first te
n overs he only found the boundary once, through a savage lofted square-cut off Nathan Bracken, but the evidence that he was in top form came in other ways: the footwork was precise and decisive right from the start, and the judgment of length was impeccable. With Robin Uthappa, he gave India the perfect start, as both ran hard between the wickets, placed the ball into gaps, and put together 50 an excellent rate with scarcely a risk - there were just three fours in the stand.
The innings wobbled briefly thereafter, though, as Michael Hussey pulled off a magnificent catch at deep midwicket - it will surely rank among the catches of the season - to get rid of Uthappa. Two more wickets fell quickly, as Gautam Gambhir failed to respond to an obvious call for a second run, and Yuvraj Singh continued to flounder abysmally against Brad Hogg's spin.
At 3 for 87, the match was perfectly in the balance, before Tendulkar found the perfect ally in Rohit, and their stand turned out to be the match-defining one. With Rohit secure in defence and attack, it allowed Tendulkar to play normally too, and what followed was a treat. After the early threat of Brett Lee had been negated, Tendulkar turned his attention to the others: Hogg was driven over extra-cover for two glorious fours while Mitchell Johnson was perfectly tipped over slip. All along, he pierced the infield, took the singles, and ensured the asking rate never got beyond control. A cramp towards the end of the innings restricted certain strokes, while a beamer from Lee - who apologised immediately - crashed into his shoulder when he was on 98, but today he was not to be denied. The century finally came with the dab to gully, and the celebrations indicated how special it was.
At the other end, Rohit showed why he is held in such high regard by the experts. He began with two glorious straight-drives off Bracken, and then continued in such serene fashion that Australia scarcely had a sniff. He finally fell immediately after Tendulkar's hundred, but by then the result was only a formality.

ram charan teja

The muhurat of Ram Charan Teja’s latest film in the direction of SS Rajamouli was held at Film Nagar Cultural center today morning. This meet was attended by Ram Charan Teja, Rajamouli, Kajal Agarwal, Allu Arvind, BVNS Prasad, Senthil Kumar etc.

Chiranjeevi, Allu Arjun etc attended the muhurat.

Rajamouli is supposed to direct Ram Charan first film - Allu Arvind
Speaking on the occasion Allu Arvind said, “We asked SS Rajamouli to direct the first film of Ram Charan Teja and due to some reasons it did not finalize. But Rajamouli promised us that he would direct the second film Ram Charan. Rajamouli is known for big budget film. But he was really thinking of a script that that costs a lot more. When he narrated the basic storyline, we were very much impressed and asked him to develop into full script. I am currently doing a Hindi film now and I might not contribute full of my time as a producer. Since Bhogavalli Prasad is close to Rajamouli and they worked for a blockbuster (Chatrapati) in the past, we requested Prasad to help us the production and he gladly agreed. I would like to thank Prasad for taking off a big responsibly from me.”

This film is about reincarnation - Rajamouli
Rajamouli said, “For the first time I am attempting a love story. At the same time, more action sequences will be there compared to my earlier films. The story of the film is about reincarnation. The 1st life of hero and heroine takes place around 400 years back in Rajastan. Their love does not materialize in that life and the story of the film is about how it is materializes in the current life. There will be a good interval point and this film is supported a good screenplay. We are leaving to Rajastan on 15th of this month. We will shot a couple of fights, a song a few vital scenes over there. If we could able to complete it the way we want in Rajastan, then we will be in a position to announce the release date. My regular technical team is working for this project. I am happy that BVSN Prasad is working for this film. Rama Rajamouli supports me both on and off the screen. Initially Allu Arvind was hesitant about suitability of Kajal for heroine. We did a photo shoot of Kajal and shown him and he was impressed. Ram Charan Teja proved his mettle with great performance in Chirutha film. It will become more challenging to explore new unexposed angles from him in my film.”

Story is close to my heart - Ram Charan teja
Ram Charan Teja said, “I learnt things like Karate, Horse Riding etc before venturing into film industry. I think all those things will matter for my second film. I feel that there is lot of scope for improvement in this film. Story of the film is very good and it is close to my heart.”


Hollywood laps up Taj script for Rs 2 crore

TAJ ON SCREEN
Hollywood clearly has a yen for the Taj. Months after Sir Ben Kingsley made his announcement about a film based on the celebrated mausoleum of love, Krishna Shah has sold the rights of his script Taj for a mind-boggling Rs 2 crore. GenNow may not have a clue about who Shah is, but the Hollywood-based film-maker created a flutter way back in 1978 when he brought Hollywood stars Rex Harrison, John Saxon and Sylvia Miles together with Bollywood stud Dharmendra and sex siren Zeenat Aman in one of India's most expensive films, Shalimar . The Yale-UCLA graduate later set up his company, Double Helix Films, in the West. Confirming to TOI that he had sold his script to Hollywood producers for an impressive USD 4,75,000 (nearly Rs 2 crore, making each page of the 122-page script worth Rs 1.63 lakh), Shah said, "Hollywood pays its scriptwriters well. Manoj Night Shyamalan can get five million dollars for a script without batting an eyelid. But in India, scriptwriters are still paid Rs 15-20 lakh for a script, which is a pity. Leading men here charge Rs 5-7 crore for a film but writers are shortchanged." According to Hollywood trade journal Variety , the film will cost 25 million dollars and will be produced by Michael A Simpson, Judy Cairo, Ken Atchity and Chi-Li Wong. (Shah had also got feelers from Hollywood biggies like Ridley Scott, Michael Rymer and Silvio Sardi, besides Indian producer Ramoji Rao.) The casting for Taj is under way, but Shah says that since he is only the scriptwriter, he won't be in on it. "The director will finalise the cast," he says. "I assume it will have a mix of Hollywood and Indian actors because that is a requirement in the script." claimed, India-born director Michael Radford to helm the film. Radford's Il Postino is the highest grossing foreign language film in the history of world cinema. Kingsley's version will reportedly cover the death of Mumtaz Mahal and then go on to the construction of the Taj (which took 20 years' of work by 20,000 masons) and Shah Jehan's subsequent imprisonment by his son in Agra Fort. Shah's version, on the other hand, is likely to focus on the emotional conflict between Shah Jahan and his stepmother Queen Noor, who was completely opposed to his love marriage to Mumtaz Mahal.

U-19WORLD CUP FINAL TODAY

India hope to be lucky in U-19 World Cup final

Champions in 2000 and undefeated, India will start with an advantage against South Africa in the final of the under-19 World Cup on Sunday as they have beaten them in their pool clash convincingly. The Virat Kohli-led India beat the South Africans by six wickets with 48 balls to spare and the victory should stand the Indians in good stead when they meet again at the Kinrara Oval. Watch: U-19 World Cup: India vs South Africa India, having lost in the final of the previous tournament in Colombo, will be wary, though none of the players of the 2006 squad has survived in this tournament due to the age cap. Four years ago, Pakistan had beaten India comfortably by 38 runs to retain the cup. Playing South Africa in the final could be a blessing in disguise for the Indians, as the 2006 final would not be playing on their minds. India made it to the final with a three-wicket win over New Zealand with nine balls to spare in a rain-interrupted semi-final after a few hiccups in the closing stages of the game. The second semi-final spilled over to the second day. But South Africa kept their nerves to beat champions Pakistan by 98 runs after rains had stopped the match on Friday. India will largely bank on the two Kohlis - Virat and Turuwar - who are in good touch. Turuwar is currently placed third in the run aggregate list, having scored 217 for 54.25 in five matches, slamming three half-centuries. Virat is just one run less than Taruwar, but the skipper has a century to his credit. Left-hander Shreevats Goswami has also done reasonably well, having scored two half-centuries in five matches. In bowling, left-arm spinner Iqbal Abdulla is the top Indian wicket taker with nine. Ravindra Jadeja, Siddharth Kaul and Pradeep Sangwan have bagged eight wickets each. For South Africa, left-handed batsman Jonathan Vandiar, 17, has been the most prolific scorer with 183 runs at 45.75. He has also cracked two half-centuries. Left-arm pacer Wayne Parnell is the second in the tournament's highest wicket-takers list with 16 at a fabulous 8.12 - just one wicket less than New Zealand pacer Tim Southee. (IANS)

WITHOUT HAYDEN,AUSTRALIA OODEN

AUSTRALIA SHOCKED BY SRILANKA

Sri Lanka pull off consolation win
SRILANKA 221 ALLOUT 50 OVERS
AUS 208 ALLOUT 48.1 OVERS
Adam Gilchrist provided the fireworks but Sri Lanka's seamers had the extinguisher at the MCG, where Australia's blistering start of 0 for 107 in the 15th over transformed into 6 for 131 after 25 overs. Gilchrist made 83 from 50 balls but his team-mates struggled to reach double-figures and were in danger of entering the CB Series finals on the back of a loss.
They needed a further 91 to overcome Sri Lanka and were relying on Michael Hussey, who had 1, and Brad Hogg, who was on 7. Survival was the immediate aim after they lost 6 for 16 in ten overs.

Michael Clarke had not scored when he was bowled from his 11th delivery by Ishara Amerasinghe, and Ricky Ponting had faced the same number for 1 when Nuwan Kulasekera trapped him lbw. Andrew Symonds feathered a leg-side catch behind off Amerasinghe for 0 and Lasith Malinga had Brad Haddin lbw for 7 to complete the middle-order rout.

The Economic Survey 2007-08,

FACTS
The Economic Survey 2007-08, while upbeat on the over $1 trillion economy, has prescribed a flurry of possible reforms that would help to sustain growth at nine per cent, and reach double-digit levels in future from the estimated 8.7 per cent for the year 2008.The survey had a touch of the French President, Mr Nicholas Sarkozy, as it recommended increasing the workweek to 60 hours from the current 48, and a daily limit of 12 hours to meet seasonal demands through overtime. President Sarkozy also wants the French to work more and produce more.The survey, which was tabled in Parliament on Thursday by the Union finance minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, noted that the economy had achieved a higher trajectory of growth in the past five years, but “the challenge to maintain growth has become more complex because of the increasing globalisation of the world economy and growing influence of global developments, economic as well as non-economic.” It noted that infrastructure constraints are more binding and there is “heightened urgency” to augment and upgrade infrastructure, both physical and social, and in particular in the areas of power, ports and roads.Mr Chidambaram summed up the outlook for 2008-09 with the phrase “optimism with caution as the watchword.” He said: “There are a number of things going in favour of India. We need to capitalise on these opportunities while at the same time responding to the evolving situation in the global economy in a manner that our growth story is not affected.”The slew of reforms suggested by the survey include private sector entry into coal mining, phasing out controls on sugar, fertiliser and drugs, raising foreign equity in insurance to 49 per cent, allowing of foreign equity in all retail trade and allowing 100 per cent FDI in greenfield private agricultural rural banks.The survey stressed the need for “unprecedented amounts of capital with macroeconomic stability”, and said this would need public-private participation. It suggested that the government should provide incentives and motivation so that PPP could perform at its best.Talking of the two inter-related macro-economic challenges the country faces in maintaining high GDP growth on a sustained basis, the survey zeroes in on the two “I”s: inflow of capital and inflation. Capital inflows, it said, had spurted to an average four per cent of GDP, which was far in excess of current account financing requirements. This leads to large accumulation of reserves and a buildup of pressure on prices. Foreign exchange reserve accumulation was of the order of $ 15.1 billion in 2005-06 and $36.6 billion in 2006-07. So the excess of capital inflows has risen to 7.7 per cent of GDP in the first half of 2007-08, and foreign exchange reserves increased by $91.6 billion to $290.8 billion as on February 8, 2008.The survey notes that foreign capital chases growth as a profitable investment opportunity. However, if growth opportunities are stifled by infrastructure bottlenecks, credit squeeze, inflation etc., and do not materialise, this huge inflow will see accumulation of reserves and will put pressure on the Indian rupee to appreciate. The Reserve Bank spends Rs 8,200 crores to sterilise dollar inflows. The composition of capital inflows is also changing, with debt inflows, primarily external commercial borrowings (ECBs), shooting up to $16.2 billion in 2006-07.The Indian economy seems to be in a challenging cycle of huge inflows of capital and the problems of plenty and it is bending under the weight of plenty. How and why did the deceleration of the economy or moderation of industrial growth start? Almost all sectors, except for electricity, transport, hotels, communications and other services, were down. The deceleration in agriculture was due to the slackening in growth of the rabi crop.Manufacturing and construction decelerated by 2.5 percentage points in 2007-08. Cement and steel key inputs for construction also decelerated to 7.4 per cent and 6.5 per cent respectively in April-December, from 10.8 per cent and 11.2 per cent in the previous year. There was also a deceleration of growth of revenue-earning freight traffic by the Railways, passengers handled at airports and bank credit in April-November 2007-08. In short, the outlook for growth is slower, but it can be accelerated through reforms. This will be one of the biggest political challenges for the Manmohan Singh government. Gold at home makes us rich
New Delhi, Feb. 28: India is glittering. Indians have grown richer by $50 billion in the past two months even as the world witnessed a stock market meltdown across bourses, leaving many on the Forbes list poorer by billions of dollars. Over the past four years, Indians have seen their net worth soar by $320 billion — a return that would do Warren Buffet or George Soros proud. The secret to this new-found prosperity when investors worldwide are ruing their falling fortunes is India’s craving for gold.

EXAM FEVER

Examination times are very stressful for students as well as parents and teachers. How do they cope?

Now that the examinations are here many students must be under tremendous stress. But it is not just the students who are stressed as teachers and parents too face the same situation. Why do people get stressed? Adolescents are faced with the demands of their developmental tasks and that of a complex society. They need to acquire skills of adjustment to emerge into adulthood unaffected by these demands. If they lack these skills or if too many demands are made on them, they fail.
Students are anxious as they are worried about whether they would be able to live up to the expectations of their peers, parents and teachers. Optimal anxiety motivates and keeps them ahead but over-anxiety disables. Anxiety is contagious and passes to other students, teachers and parents. Adolescents, when stressed out, tend to perceive everything as an emergency. Some of the reasons for increase in stress level are identity crisis, the need to make career oriented decisions, teachers/parents attitude and peer pressure. The inability to communicate with parents also plays a major role.
Good memory depends upon a good brain. The brain needs a good supply of oxygen, glucose, calcium, phosphorus and iron. So make sure you sit in a well- ventilated place when studying. Your diet should include milk, cheese, walnuts, wheat germs, green leafy vegetables, ragi and dates. Do not forget that "breakfast is the brain food". Fatty meals, sugar and acids take away calcium from the system. Diets rich in fibre like fruits and vegetables help to reduce stress.
Good concentration is important to improve the memory. Learning and memorising by understanding and recalling what one has learnt is helpful. Organising and framing a logical relationship is important. Master not just the content of the subject, but also the process of answering.
Anxiety and fear hamper recall and result in a mental block during examination.
Watching television for a long time could lower academic performance. It `steals' away the reading time. Time management is about self-discipline. Time must be managed between filled and unfilled time. Filled time is the time spent sleeping, bathing, eating, dressing and attending school. A student has 10 hours of unfilled time. How best is the student going to utilise this? Make a timetable for the 10 hours.
Seven to eight hours of sleep is necessary for optimal physical rest and brain functioning. A positive thought is the seed of a positive result. Always feel positive. This will help to lessen stress.
If a student has symptoms of anxiety or depression, seek medical help immediately.
When stressed out:
1.Go for a walk or do some stretching exercises.
2.Talk to your friends for a while.
3.Do some deep breathing/breathing exercises.
4.Listen to music.
5.Practise Transcendental Meditation, yoga, relaxation exercises, aroma therapy.
Academic performance during exams is affected by:
1.Study Habits
2.Family environment
3.Watching television
4.Distraction/attentiveness
5.Ambition
6.Attitude towards study
7.Medical problems
8.Anxiety, depression
Recommended study habits:
1.Study regularly
2.Set a time table for all subjects
3.Sit in a place with no distraction
4.Use a dictionary
5.Read and think
6.If you do not understand, ask teachers/parents/friends.
7.Read subjects you like in between subjects you do not like.

rama sethu

What is Setu (Sethu) Samudram Project?
Setu (Sethu) Samudram shipping canal project (SSCP) is a project that has been approved by the Government of India and its work has been started near Kodand Ram Temple. In this project, Palk Gulf and Gulf Mennar will be linked by making a shipping canal through Rameshwaram Island. This will allow ships and boats to navigate in the passage between India and Sri Lanka without having to circle Sri Lanka (as is being done currently). This may save about 400 nautical miles voyage on the West Coast. This project will connect the National Sea Route. This canal will shorten the length of the sea route for ships. Rs. 21 crore per year for fuel expenditure of ships will be saved.
Danger to Ram Setu (Sethu)
Pictures taken by NASA [National Aeronautics & Space Administration], USA from space show the remains of what appears to be an ages old man-made bridge between Rameshwaram and Sri Lanka. According to Hindu scriptures and belief, Lord Ram and his vaanar sena had built a bridge from Rameshwaram to Sri Lanka about 17 lacs 25 thousands years ago. The discovery of Shri Ram Setu by NASA confirms that Hindu scriptures and belief are correct in this matter and that Ramayana is 'history' and not "mythology" as is often construed.
Setu (Sethu) Samudram [shipping canal project] is based on the notion that it is inevitable to break the Shri Ram Setu for easy navigation. This will amount to damaging a monument of both, historical and religious importanceto Hindus.

Why Ram Setu (Sethu) should not be damaged
Ram Setu (Sethu) prevented the tsunami from advancing from Rameshwaram to Kerala.
Spiritual Significance:
1.This is a divine bridge.
2.Lord Rama and his vaanar sena had built it 17 lacs 25 thousands years ago.
3.In Puranas, the importance of Setu is explained in great details, especially in Skanda Purana, Vishnu Purana, Agni Purana, and Brahma Purana.
Physical Significance:
1.Ram Setu (Sethu) a natural barrier to Tsunami: During the last tsunami, the Ramar Bridge (at a high elevation) from the rest of the shoal accumulations acted as a natural barrier preventing the direct devastation of the entire Bharatam coastline south and southwest of Nagapattanam. - Dr. Murthy, Chief editor of the reputed International Tsunami Journal "Science of Tsunami Hazards"
2.Threat of Tsunami: Many geologists, earth scientists, and oceanographers have commented critically, against the disastrous consequences of constructing SSCP. Amongst these is the impending devastation of Kerala, which will suck in after implementation of SSCP, after next Tsunami hits it. Read details: Sethusamudram project and impending Tsunami devastation
3.Many Naval officials are saying that even after the completion of SSCP, the depth of the canal shall be only 12 meters (about 36 feet ), and only small and medium sized vessels shall be able to pass. Large sized vessels and carriers shall not be able to pass.
Social Significance
1.The construction of SSCP is trampling upon the feelings and emotions of millions and millions of Hindus.
2.Besides, this bridge is world's oldest man-made structure. It is much much older than the pyramids of Egypt, and the Great Wall of China.
3.Ram Setu has sentimental, religious and historic value.
4.People have crossed the sea using the Rama-Setu, for many thousand years, until the 15th century.
Better alternative solutions are also available !
According to the specialists, a sea route may be prepared for navigation without damaging Sri Ram Setu, by removing the barren sand heaps near village Mandapam between Rameshwaram and Dhanushkoti railway. This will not only give a shorter route for navigation but also protect the oldest man-made heritage.
Questions to Government
1.Why was the route of Metro passing 'close' Qutub Minar in New Delhi was abandoned and later reworked fearing prospective damages to this 815 years man made monument?
2.Why the project of Taj corridor (which would have made lot of dollars to our money minded govt) was put off after the hue and cry of environmentalists as the construction near Taj 'may' cause bad effect on this 359 years old man made monument. Please give attention here that these monuments were not going to be destroyed but were 'feared' to get damaged.
3.Will any government in China would destroy or even alter The great wall of China(2695 years old) for the sake of any amount of money?
4.Will any one allow pulling down 4507 years old Pyramids of Egypt in lieu of any uncountable amount of money?
If the answer is NO, then why this 17,25,000 years old man made monument is being destroyed for the sake of some coins?
Other Noticeable Events
An attempt to offend Hindus
The drill, which is being used to demolish the bridge, is named 'Jai Hanuman'! Thus, as declared by the hermitage, this is a direct attempt to humiliate Hindus. Two such machines taken there have broken down. The government should take a lesson or two from this, says the hermitage.

Jalsa Audio on 29th

Jalsa audio release date falls in the leap year that comes once in four years

The audio of Jalsa, a Pawan Kalyan starrer, is planned to release on February 29th, with the historical Taramathi Bharadhari as its venue. Already three of the songs from the album have come into the public, receiving good response.
However, the event might not be a public affair as it would be limited to the near and dear of the film unit and fans. Produced by Allu Arvind and directed by Trivikram Srinvias, the film has several attractions. For the first time, you have three heroines in Pawan Kalyan's film.
They are Ileana, Parvati Melton and Kamalinee Mukherjee. Top music director Devi Sri Prasad scores music to Pawan Kalyan's film for the first time. Popular rap singer Baba Sehgal rendered his voice for a song in the album, after a gap of 13 years in Tollywood. The audio release date falls in the leap year that comes once in four years.
Pawan's Jalsa songs leaked!
These days the leakage of songs prior to the audio release is becoming a feature of South Indian films. First it was Rajni's Shivaji songs which were leaked on the internet and few months back few songs from Okka Magadu got disclosed much before the audio was released.
It's now the turn of Jalsa, Pawan Kalyan's latest film songs. Few songs from this film are leaked on the internet and are being circulated through mails.
First things first… Jalsa songs are stunning, simply superb. Devisri Prasad has done brilliant job. The title track "Saregama padanisa arey karo karo jara Jalsa…" is definitely going to create ripples. If all the songs in the album are up to this song's standards then Jalsa audio will surely boost up the film's fortunes.

India's K-15 missile tested successfully

The secret undersea weapon

India on Tuesday successfully test-fired the submarine-launched ballistic missile from under the sea off the Vizag coastline. Codenamed K-15, the test-fire extended India's critical third leg of the nuclear triad to sea.
It was perhaps the most significant milestone in India's nuclear weaponisation since the Pokhran test in May 1998. This will give India its deadliest nuclear strike weapon and its most assured capability to retaliate against a nuclear attack by an enemy.
The message is that the US is not only comfortable, but also supportive of India's rise as a bigger power. Moreover, it sees a considerable military element in its growing ties with India.
The K-15 missile will give India the capability to launch a stealthy nuclear attack from 50 metres under the sea to a land target 700 km away. India's clearly gatecrashed into the club of five big super powers.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation is to conduct the final test launch of the K-15, India's first submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) from off the coast of Visakhapatnam on Tuesday. The missile can carry a one-tonne nuclear weapon to a distance of 700 km.On Tuesday, the calm sea around Vizag will be breached by the roar of a missile rising from under the sea, geyser-like. Climbing to a height of five kilometers, the missile will ignite a solid booster which will arc it to a distance of over 700 km over the Bay of Bengal.With this full system test, DRDO officials say the missile will be handed over to the navy for integration on its nuclear submarine, the Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV). "The K-15's development is complete, we are ready to integrate it with the mother ship," DRDO Chief Controller Dr Prahlada told the media last week, in the first official and detailed confirmation of the enigmatic missile.The missile completes India's triad of land, air and sea launched nuclear weapons. It also gets India an entry into the elite club of-US, UK, France, Russia and China-capable of launching a ballistic missile from a submarine.
Underwater launch pontoonThe missile will be launched from a specially constructed submersible pontoon which sinks to a depth of 50 metres on the seabed-the intended launch depth from the submarine-and fires the missile from underwater. This period was chosen for the launch as the seas around Vizag are calm like a mirror.The slender two-stage K-15 has a length of around 11 metres-larger than the 8.5 metre long Prithvi short-range ballistic missile but smaller than the 15-metre-long Agni-1 ballistic missile.The missile has two stages fitted into its half-a-metre wide body. An underwater booster propels it clear of the submarine and takes the missile to a height of 5 km above the sea surface. On reaching this altitude, a second stage solid motor kicks in to propel the missile to a distance of over 700 km.Work on the missile started around a decade ago under a highly classified programme earlier called Sagarika (Oceanic). Development ran parallel to the Indian navy's 25 year programme to build its own nuclear-propelled submarine, the ATV. In the last few years, the missile remained behind a veil of obsessive secrecy with the government refusing to confirm or deny its existence. Variously dubbed 'the naval missile' and the 'navalised Prithvi', it was successfully tested to incremental ranges six times. The last successful test to its full range was in April last year.With work on the ATV nearly complete-a nuclear reactor was integrated into its hull in December-and the vessel due for sea trials next year, the next key milestone will be integrating the missile into the submarine. The ATV carries 12 K-15 missiles in four launch canisters. A fleet of three nuclear submarines are planned for induction by 2012.According to DRDO officials, the key challenge here was to master the difficult science of launching a missile from under the sea. This technology will come in handy when the DRDO eventually fields the submarine-launched variants of the 3500-km Agni-III missile in the next five years.

------How symonds is escaping????

Sreeshanth-Symonds
Harbhajan -Symonds
ishanth -Symonds

i think Symonds signed lifeterm contrct with ICC tht he will not b punshid even if he sledges anyone.......,Symonds admittedthat he uttered "F" word in sydnet test,but he was not fined,now my question is "y ishanth was fined 4 using thtsame word?"
Well Symonds cant be too bad considering your IPL are paying him 1.5 million dollars to play in their league....

i bet you wont mind if he was on your team and said these things,he is an Aussie and we dont take too kindly to racial abuse or being sworn at by little brats like Ishant Sharma...
Respect is a 2 way street darling,you have to give respect to gain it...
And obviously he has the respect of a lot of Indians if he didn't i doubt that he would have been offered so much money to play over there in India....
Also can you tell me if Sree,Harbi,and Sharma are completly blameless in these situations,i sincerly doubt you can.....
Dhoni says Sharma was provoked by Symonds
ndian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Tuesday accused Australia's Andrew Symonds of provoking young paceman Ishant Sharma in their tri-series clash at the SCG.
The two became embroiled in a set-to when Symonds took offence to the Indian's celebration after he had clean-bowled him, leading Sharma to point the all-rounder towards the pavilion.
The gesture led the 19-year-old bowler to be fined 15 per cent of Sunday's match fee by match referee Jeff Crowe.
But speaking after his side crushed Sri Lanka by seven wickets here on Tuesday to earn a place in the tri-series final against Australia, Dhoni echoed the Indian management's earlier claims that Symonds had instigated the incident.
"He only reacted to what Symonds said to him," Dhoni said of Sharma's reaction.
An Indian official confirmed that a complaint had been lodged with Crowe about provocative behaviour of several Australians -- believed to be Symonds, captain Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden.

Harbhajan an 'obnoxious weed' - Hayden

HAYDEN TARGETED "BAJJI"

Matthew Hayden has stirred already troubled waters by calling Harbhajan Singh an "obnoxious weed", a comment that will only serve to deepen the animosity between the two sides that has surfaced during India's tour.
Speaking on a Brisbane radio station, Hayden said: "It's been a bit of a long battle with Harbhajan, the first time I ever met him he was the same little obnoxious weed that he is now. His record speaks for itself in cricket.
"There is a certain line that you can kind of go to and then you know where you push it and he just pushes it all the time. That's why he has been charged more than anyone that's ever played in the history of cricket."
The pair clashed during Sunday's CB Series game at the SCG when the Indians complained that Hayden had called Harbhajan a "mad boy".
Hayden played down the incident, accusing the Indians of making an issue of it because "they are losing every game they are playing". He said: "I called him a bad boy."
"He took offence to that. I thought that was quite funny. I said mate, you should be flattered, it's a clothing range."

NOTHING FOR ANDHRA,NO STOPPING

BETTER TO PESSENGERS,NO DEVELOPMENT
This year’s Railway Budget introduced by Mr Lalu Prasad Yadav on Tuesday was helpful to people and their government had successfully introduced the railway Budget for the fifth time without enhancing fares.
Girls could travel free up to completion of graduation, he said. Aged women, senior citizens, disabled people and rural milk producers will benefit from the rail Budget, he added. They had already sent proposals for the Nadikudi-Srikalahasti railway line in October 2007, but this was not included which was distressing, he rued. The Ongole-Donakonda railway line had also failed to get a place in the rail budget, but they were keen to take it up with public-private participation.
Meanwhile, the Communist Party of India (Marxists) criticised the rail Budget. MPs and the Union ministers from the state had failed to get funds for development of railway lines in the state, said Mr Jala Anjaiah, district secretary of the CPI (M).
The Srikalahasti-Nadikudi line which would serve people of backward Prakasam district had failed to get a place in the railway Budget, he said. Prakasam district people were waiting for the Ongole-Donakonda railway line for the last 50 years but this too was not included from this budget, he rued. The CPI and the Telugu Desam leaders also expressed dissatisfaction with the railway budget and Congress MLAs of the district expressed happiness.
The Railway Budget presented by minister for railways Lalu Prasad Yadav in the Lok Sabha drew flak, not only from leaders of Opposition parties but also from the Congress leaders representing both East and West Godavari districts.
Several proposals like laying of railway lines connecting Kakinada and Pitapuram and Kotipalli and Narasapuram, doubling of certain sections of the railway line, for instance between Narasapuram and Vijayawada, electrification of certain stretches, introduction of a train between Narasapuram and Hyderabad during the day in addition to the existing express train at night and several others have been pending for a long time.
Neither could the Union minister of state for defence M.M. Pallam Raju nor Congress MPs representing both the Godavari districts influence the railway minister to get allocations for taking up the proposed works.
Narasapuram MP Chegondi Harirama Jogaiah said, "The Railway Budget is disappointing with regard to allocations for the proposed works from our region. There is no mention of any allocation for the long pending Kotipalli-Narasapuram railway line and the doubling of the Narasapuram-Vijaywada line in the budget."
The response from Amalapuram MP G.V. Harsha Kumar was on similar lines. The Telugu Desam (TD) took advantage to find fault with union ministers and MPs representing Andhra Pradesh at the Centre as they only get a facelift of Secunderabad railway station and a Garib Rath between Secunderabad and Visakhapatnam.
TD state general secretary Gorantla Butchaiah Choudhary said, "Despite tremendous increase in the volume of passenger traffic between Secunderabad and Visakhapatnam, there were no efforts to ease traffic. Tamil Nadu managed to get maximum benefit. All jobs in the railway department are grabbed by youth from Bihar."
BJP state vice-president Somu Veerraju said, "Ministers and MPs have no say in allocations in the Railway Budget as the railway department is being run on bureaucratic lines. Railway authorities invest more money on non-viable stations like Chagallu, but failed to take up projects that benefit a large section of people. All key decisions are taken by the Railway Board and the role of public representatives is limited. This budget is not up to the mark as far as the state in general is concerned, and the Godavari districts in particular."

INDIA IN TO FINALS

Sri Lanka limp out of tri-series

SL 179 ALLOUT:INDIA 180/3 in 32.2 OVERS
Sri Lanka beat themselves in their must-win game as India eased into the finals with an emphatic seven-wicket win in Hobart. In what was a pathetic batting display, Sri Lanka skid from a comfortable 1 for 72 to a perilous 7 for 93, blowing their chances on a flat deck. A composed fifty from Chamara Kapugedera avoided a debacle but couldn't take away the one-sided nature of the contest.
Chasing 180 was never going to be too much of a challenge for India, especially when Sachin Tendulkar started to cut loose. Gautam Gambhir added a polished fifty to what's been a fantastic series, leaving Yuvraj Singh to add the final touches on a comprehensive win. Sri Lanka travel to Melbourne for their final league match but that will now be only of academic interest.
The conditions were overcast, and the bowling accurate but nothing could explain the batsmen pretending to be kamikaze artists. Praveen Kumar, a seamer relying on gentle swing, triggered the collapse before Ishant Sharma, a taller, pacier gunman, pierced the soft underbelly further. Kumar Sangakkara's poor shot selection opened up the flood gates and the rest seemed more intent to catch the next flight out of Hobart. On a flat pitch, they saw their chances of entering the final up in smoke.
The script could have easily changed, especially when Sanath Jayasuriya and Sangakkara were out in the middle. The duo had shrugged off the early dismissal of Dilruwan Perera, castled by a peach of a straightener from Ishant, by cashing in on a slightly wayward new-ball spell. Sangakkara, like he's done all series, laced cover-drives with ease while Jayasuriya, who's endured a struggled in Australia, crunched jabs through point to offer glimpses of his destructive best. The pitch appeared to have eased out; India, who picked five bowlers, seemed to have botched a great chance.
Everything changed when Kumar was introduced. Playing only his third ODI, he showed why he's so highly rated in the domestic circuit. Sangakkara paid the price for taking Kumar too lightly: he walked down the track and poked recklessly, only to see Mahendra Singh Dhoni pull off a fine catch diving to his left. Sangakkara telegraphed his intentions too early and couldn't make allowance for Kumar's subtle movement away from him.
Kumar was ecstatic after his first international wicket but he was to nab two more in quick time. Mahela Jayawardene was undone by a sharp catch by Rohit Sharma at point - reacting quickly to a fierce cut he pulled off a superb low catch - before Chamara Silva wafted at one that shaped away to watch Dhoni pull off another fine take. So smooth was the trajectory on that ball that it might have inscribed a perfect parabola, snicking the outside edge on its way through.
Jayasuriya, watching all the mayhem from the other end, thought it was best to break the shackles. Faced with a short ball from Irfan Pathan he attempted a high-risk pull, kicking the ground as the ball ballooned into Dhoni's gloves. Ishant returned to removed Tillakaratne Dilshan, with a peach that swung into his pads, before tempting Chaminda Vaas with an indiscreet pull. On a good batting pitch, with the bowlers doing nothing extraordinary, Sri Lanka were teetering on the brink.
Kapugedera, though, was like a sane voice in a mad melee. Along with Lasith Malinga, he endured 12.2 overs without a boundary before he began to gradually open out. He showed he had all the shots - a smooth cover-drive, a crackling straight-drive, and an innovative pick-up shot in front of square.
It was his highest ODI score but only delayed the inevitable. The sun was out by the time India's openers walked in and the match was headed in only one direction. Shrugging off his failures in the CB Series so far, Tendulkar set the Bellerive alight with a dominant half-century. Cutting loose against an uninspired bowling attack, he provided Australia with an ominous signal ahead of the final.
Reading Muttiah Muralitharan's doosras from the hand, he waltzed down the track to loft over the covers. Ishara Amarasinghe's dibbly-dobblies were never going to be a threat in these conditions and he was greeted with three successive fours in his first over: flicked delectably over square, cut savagely through point and spanked in the same direction.
Gambhir enhanced his ever-burgeoning reputation with an assured knock. He read Malinga's slower ones and didn't spare his quicker ones too, especially when they were wide and within his striking zone. He handled Murali with ease, picking him off for singles, and ensured he was out there when the winning runs were struck. Sri Lanka won't want to remember much from the CB Series but the sight of Gambhir cutting them to ribbons may be a tough one to erase.

State hopes to get the nod for three new trains
Will Union railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav go an extra mile in making more budgetary allocations to railway projects in the state? Officials of the South Central Railway (SCR) here, are hoping for a better budget this time around. Apart from a few new trains, the railway minister is unlikely to sanction new railway lines in the budget, according to SCR officials. Though TRS president and Union labour minister K Chandrasekhara Rao went on record recently saying the Prime Minister had promised him a new railway line between Jagtial and Secunderabad, via Siddipet,officials are skeptical about sanctioning such a mega project, when funds are awaited for several pending ones. For the 2005-06 budget, the SCR had proposed new trains between Secunderabad and Chennai, Gudur and Hyderabad, and Kakinada to Tirupati. For Hyderabad city, the railway authorities have not yet committed any amount for the second phase of MMTS, saying the proposal is still at 'discussion' stage. In other words, the railway budget is unlikely to make any allocations for the MMTS and Metro Rail project in the city. Several pending projects like the 58-km stretch between Amalapuram and Narasapuram which was estimated to cost Rs 699 crore and Mahaboobangar to Muneerabad that would cost Rs 497 crore are in urgent need for higher allocations, MPs from Andhra Pradesh say. Last railway budget allocated Rs 15 crore for the two project. While the track between Peddapalli to Karimnagar was completed, its extension upto Nizamabad is going on a snail pace. This project too had got only a meagre allocation of Rs 15 crore during last year's budget. The gauge conversion between Adilabad to Kinwat was completed, but it is yet to be extended to Mudhked.
