Mukesh Ambani-The World's Richest Man


Mukesh Ambani is the richest man in the World!! Lakshmi Mittal being at 5th position. Two Indians being at top 5!!

Billionaire Mukesh Ambani is now the richest person in the world, exceeding American software emperor Bill Gates, Mexican business tycoon Carlos Slim Helu and famous investment guru Warren Buffett, courtesy the bull run in the stock market.

Following a strong share price rally on in his three group companies, India's most valued firm Reliance Industries, Reliance Petroleum and Reliance Industrial Infrastructure, the net worth of Mukesh Ambani rose to $63.2 billion (Rs 2,49,108 crore).

In comparison, the net worth of both Gates and Slim is estimated to be slightly lower at around $62.29 billion each, with Slim leading among the two by a narrow margin.

Earlier on September 26, Ambani had overtaken steel czar Lakshmi Mittal to become the richest Indian in the world.

While most of Mittal's wealth comes from his steel empire, though he has also spread his wings into businesses like oil and real estate, those of Ambani and Gates are mostly through petrochemicals and software respectively. However, Buffett and Slim are making money from investments across a host of sectors.

The list goes this way

1. Mukesh Ambani ($63.2 billion)
2. Carlos Slim Helu ($62.2993 billion)
3. William (Bill) Gates ($62.29 billion)
4. Warren Buffett ($55.9 billion)
5. Lakshmi Mittal ($50.9 billion)

Look At This Black Beauty-Nokia's Latest Two Head Cell Phone


Recently I read a article about this Nokia's latest mobile(Nokia 6555).Its feauters were fantastic.So i decided to share with u all.Here's a design concept by Daewoo Kim for a cell phone that might actually be practical in desperate situations, because when one phone runs out of power, the other one can charge it up. And look at them, aren't they cute, spooning on that charger together? Cell phone purveyors will probably like this design, because it may entice people to buy two products instead of one. There's another unique idea built into this cell phone, too.
  • Nokia 6555 is Skinny Clamshell with 3G, Analog Clock, Video Sharing.
  • Nokia 6555 is the first WCDMA phone with a smooth-back fold design.
  • It has a QVGA 16 million color internal display on a large 240×320 screen, 30MB internal memory, microSD slot, Bluetooth and the self-portrait and video sharing camera.
  • Available in black, red and meta`llic peach-or is that apricot.

World Champion - Chess Master Vishwanathan Anand


From being the country's first Grandmaster in 1987 to a World Champion in 2000 in Tehran, Vishwanathan Anand has come a long way and the year 2007 will go down as one of the most glittering in the 37 year-old's career. On April 1st Vishwanathan Anand became the top ranked player in the game and then the big day arrived on September 29th.

Vishwanathan Anand took over from Russian Vladimir Kramnik as the undisputed champion of the world in Mexico City but according to the revised World championship regulations Kramik holds a one-time right to challenge Vishwanathan Anand for the world crown in 2008. Speaking on the format, the world champion Vishwanathan Anand feels the regulations are not fair.

"Its fantastic to win the tournament undefeated. The tournament helped me keep my leading position in the world rankings and since last year we have unified titles. So no ifs and buts, Im just the world champion now."

Vishwanathan Anand's victory is sweeter because its the first time in 35 years that a non-Russian specifically indian has the honour to hold the top rank and the world title at the same time.

Indian Cricket - Murali Karthik's Hattrick


Murali Kartik took six wickets for 27 runs and then scored an unbeaten 21 to steer India to a thrilling two-wicket victory over Australia in the seventh and final one-day international at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday.

Murali Kartik spun the Aussies out with career best figures of 6 for 27, the best figures by a left arm spinner in one-day internationals. Australia lost their final eight wickets for just 76 runs with the middle-order unable to play on a pitch which was offering considerable spin. Australia were bundled out for a paltry score of 193 runs, their lowest in the series.

Murali Kartik has played eight Tests and 30 one-dayers for
India since making his international debut in February 2000. He last played an ODI for India in early 2006, when he conceded 64 runs in nine overs against Pakistan, after which he was dropped. Murali kartik played for Middlesex during the 2007 season and took 51 wickets at 24.96 from 12 Championship matches, including 9 for 73 in an innings victory against Glamorgan at Lord's.

Murali Kartik, the hero of
Ind'ias incredible two-wicket win, said the secret of his performance was ''not putting any pressure on myself and just enjoying being there.'' Murali Kartik, speaking to the media after leading India to a consolation two-wicket win, also revealed he shared jokes with batting partner Zaheer Khan to keep his calm during the chase.

After his six-wicket haul broke Australia's back, Murali Kartik shone with the bat as well. He was unbeaten on 21 and it was his unbeaten 52-run stand with Zaheer (31 not out) that frustrated the Australians and guided
India home in the see-saw match.

"It's a special place for me. I broke a record here in an Irani Trophy match and I got my last Man of the Match award here in 2004-5. So it has been a happy hunting ground for me" said Murali Kartik of the venue where he took seven wickets to lead India to a famous Test win against the same opponents in 2004-05.

Bollywood Actors - Saif and Kareena Together


Speculations were rife whether Saif Ali Khan was seeing Kareena Kapoor, because they were seen together in public places more than often. They added fuel to the fire by keeping silent in spite of all the rumours doing the rounds. This time, they have stopped further speculations by admitting that they are seeing each other.

On October 17, 2007 the lakme Fashion Week, the couple which stole the thunder from the glam brigade. Saif Ali khan and Kareena Kapoor made an appearance at the fashion extravaganza and the 'Chote Nawab' finally broke his silence on his relationship with Kareena Kapoor. Saif Ali Khan finally spilled the bean on his much speculated relationship with Kareena Kapoor.

The couple who has been getting the gossip mills working overtime, chose the final day of the Lakme Fashion Week to make thier first public appearance. Instead of sneaking from the back door like most stars, the duo walked the red carpet together. They sat in the front row with with the other stars and by the looks of it they knew what a stir they had caused.

When asked about relationship with Kareena, Saif catagorically said to the press, "There is lots of speculation from a long time. Yes we are together and very much happy with each other". When Saif made this statement Kareena was also present there with him and she did not seem to have any objection. The grand finale of the Lakme Fashion Week by Manish Malhotra was a memorable as it pulled in a list top stars at one go but proved to be catylist for something which not only overshadowed the show but even the movers and shakers of Bollywood.

"Our message to the Australian public is that every cricketer who comes here deserves to be treated with the respect that we would expect our cricketers to be treated with when they travel abroad," he said.

"There were some things that have happened that I really drew on out there," Andrew Symonds told a news conference after his side's 18-run win in the sixth one-dayer.

"I had plenty of incentive to apply myself," Andrew Symonds said after scoring 107 not out from 88 balls.Man of the match Andrew Symonds lashed nine fours and four sixes for his sixth one-day century and was involved in two half-century partnerships to help his team recover to 317-8 after a middle-order collapse.
