Why Income Tax raids at the residence of Mammootty and Mohanlal?
Income Tax officials carried out simultaneous raids on the residences and
offices of Malayalam superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and

Yesterday Orkut ; Today Facebook ; Tomorrow ???
We had lived the era of writing scraps and now living the era of posting on walls.
2007 had seen the peak popularity of Orkut. But later 2010 had to witness the demise of Orkut paving way to the current leader, FACEBOOK, popularly known to the netizens as ‘FB’.
Infact, one had to fall for the rise of the other.
The tactics followed by FB to hold the users in its footsteps was the key factor of its success. Apart from pulling in users, they ensured that the users spent maximum time in their pages. Chats, Games, Applications, Quizzes ..what not!!. You have all at one go for UNLIMITED fun at FB.
But – All that goes up needs to come down. This old science told by Newton holds good for todays business too!!!
FB freakz may have to give way for another “X”. FB has already started losing its users across the globe. Security is one thing that is NOT catered by FB. Less privacy settings and making all your info transparent to other users are the villains in FB.
Google is re-entering the market (Buzz and Orkut are also Google’s children) with its brand new GOOGLE +. Surely knowing the set backs of current leader, they would definitely try to seal the loop holes in their GOOGLE +.
What do you feel the next era would be??
GOOGLE +, TWITTER, ORKUT …??? OR the cuurent vibe FB?

Was the petroleum price hike avoidable?
Yes,Yet another hike on petroleum product prices.
But was the hike avoidable?
The Government says NO!
- It says that India needs to import 84% of the crude oil it requires.(Means only 16% of the demand is met by the production from Indian soil).
- International crude oil prices are higher than before.
- Diesel,kerosene and LPG are given even now at high subsidies,by which the oil companies (the government) are loosing around 1.2 lakh crore.
But what do YOU think about the current petrol/diseal or LPG prices?
