Happy Independence Day to one and all! It’s now been 61 years since India became an independent country. Time to celebrate…  

Now the interesting part! If you are a Times Of India newspaper subscriber then do check out the 4th and the 8th page. Have a clear look at the ads. Yediyurappa (surprisingly found him on wiki), the Chief Minister of Karnataka, (Ad) says that it is the 62nd year of independence on page 4 and 8. Is he an illiterate or something?

I have taken the shots of those ads. Check them out!

You all know that Vodafone would be selling the iPhone in India the next month. If you’re not aware of it then let me tell you. It’s been scheduled that the Apple iPhone would be launched by Vodafone on the 18th of August 2008 in India. Most of the iPhone lovers in India who are desperate to grab it, would get some relief finally!

The 25th of June 1983. No Indian cricket fan can forget this day. The day when India won the 1983 World Cup against England West Indies at Lord’s which was marked as an unforgettable moment in the history of Indian cricket.

Here’s a glance to the members of the `83 Indian World Cup team:
Kapil Dev, the captain of that World Cup winning team; Sunil Gavaskar, an incomparable batsman; Balwinder Singh Sandhu, the man who started it all by bowling out Gordon Grenidge; Syed Kirmani, the finest wicketkeeper India has ever seen; Yashpal Sharma, one of the most astounding heroes of the ‘83 triumph and the charismatic Sandeep Patil.

Hence to celebrate this graceful moment, Vijay Mallya the proud owner of the United Breweries Group together with the BCCI have joined hands to honor the winning team of the `83 World Cup to mark their 25th anniversary of this cricketing milestone on the 25th of June, Wednesday. Also said that the team will be on a tour to Lord’s on 25th to commemorate this special day and later a dinner will be hosted by the UB Group for the team in London to provide the event a perfect ending.
