Schumacher makes sensational return to F1 (albeit temporarily to fill in for the injured Felippe Massa) - This is great news for a die hard Schumi fan like me. Formula 1 lost its sheen when Schumi quit, the other drivers not even upto scratch when compared to him. Its immaterial whether he wins or not ( he may not in all probability as Ferrari hasn't been competitive this season) but what the heck, something to look forward to.
Indian President and PM are now all set to also acquire 12 swanky and secure helicopters for VVIP travel - At tax payers expense obviously. Oh! the kind of sacrifices we make to pamper our unworthy leaders happy. And why should 2 people have 6 helos each?
In a no-holds-barred attack, Anil Ambani today landed an emotional punch on elder brother Mukesh, accusing him of trading their father's 'vision' for 'corporate greed'.- Guys! grow up and wash your dirty liner in your backyard.
