They do or did it with Hello Tunes and now with SMS trip.the Hello tunes incident, in my case, was extremely interesting.

The mysterious case of the rising retail creditRavichandran KThe retail credit market is on the way to becoming a text book case of how market forces can be subverted by small to mid-sized businessmen who would rather pluck the goose silly than exert any effort in fattening the calf for tomorrow’s profit. In one of the weirdest ironies of today’s current economic mess, retail consumers are

Old sayings are still heard around the country. One insists that 'Burgher buggers became beggars buying brandy bottles' while a Sinhalese doggeral goes : Kaapalla, beepalla, jollikarapalla, Heta marunoth hithata sapai Ada jollikaralla Which, in homespun Sinhala means:'Eat,drink and be merry and even if we must die tomorrow, don't let it worry

Quote : "All arguements about the last war apart, I believe Hitler was a lunatic. I believe his astonishing grip on the german and other people was due mainly to the radio.His shrieking was compulsive, and many a time i listened to him myself. His contagion was infective. But how many of the other lies and fancies...are due to the newspapers? I feel the true answer is : Not a few. Reckless

Was watching the England-India second test and felt really sad seeing Sachin struggle while Sidhu set my ganglions all a jangling. His mixed metaphors may have sounded cute in the beginning, but now they are are just plain ugly and irritating. But overall it was Sachin's state that moved me.
