Its a bright sunny Sunday morning and I am in my home today for the entire day..Thankfully no office or Training today. And lets catch up with some interesting Tidbits of Informations.
1. What is "GreenHunt" ?
It is an Operation by COBRA ( Commando Battalion for Resolute Action) against naxalites in the jungles of Chattisgarh.
2. What is the Nanavati Commissions ?
it is the Commision set up to investigate the Post Godhra Riots.
3. Tomorrow is the festival of Eid Ul Fitr , and celebrated all across the world by Muslims with a great amount of fun and gaeity.
So lets see some information about it :
* It is known as Pakistan as Meethi Eid
* Eid is an Arabic word meaning “festivity”, while Fitr means “charity” and so the holiday symbolises the breaking of the fasting period
* The traditional Eid greeting is “Eid Mubarak” followed by an embrace
* In Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, Eid is also commonly known as Hari Raya. Hari Raya literally means ‘Day of Celebration’ i.e. ‘The Day’. Muslims in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore celebrate Eid like other Muslims throughout the world. It is the biggest holiday in Indonesia and Malaysia and is the most awaited one
Wishing one and all ..Eid Mubarak..
5. Keeping her Railway Budget promise of introducing non-stop air-conditioned ‘Duranto’ trains that would connect metropolitan cities within the shortest possible time, Union Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee flagged off the first Duranto Express between Sealdah and New Delhi here on Friday.
Lets hope that all the Plans made by our Govt get turned into reality in this right way and spirit

Well well well... What shall I say to this blog..after having forgotten it for the last 24 days. Its very bad on my part.Period.
But nothings over till you give up. So lets get started and get the ball rolling.
1. Which Team is India playing in the Davis Cup for an entry into the Davis Cup World Groups?
Its South Africa, and they are playing at Johannesburg. Somdev and Rohan Boppana had a excellent first day winning both matches. For details, click here.
Hopefully these players can replace Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes.
2. Okay, now a bit of trivia. I attended a quiz last weekend and thought to share this with you.
A person called Dennis Hwang, is the only person to be doing it since 2000.
He works in the Company Google and his work is seen by the entire world during famous days like those of festivals , or birhtdays of important persons.
Any guesses?
He is the person who designs the google-doodles on the homepage of google. And has been doing it since the year 2000. What are google doodles, read on here
3. "Cattle Class" has become a commond word now. How. Seems it has been glorified by Shahshi Tharoor - India's Minister of State for External Affairs. Due to the Govt's presumed Austerity measures , he was asked to travel economy class in airlines, when he reffered to them as "cattleclass" .
Keeping in view the condition of the country where a flight travel is a dream for many many people., maybe Tharoor should have restricted himself and not given such inappropriate comments. For an update, click here
