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

Hey Rishi,

As far as I know , the word 'cattle class' was first used by a reporter who asked Mr Tharoor a question in the social networking site. Mr Tharoor reiterated the word while replying. Not surprisingly, it was blown out of proportion by the opposition and the media .
