Donna Summers is Dead

admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 09:53:31 +0000

It is a surprising and shocking news but true that the Queen of Disco Donna Summers is dead. She was 63 years old. Donna died due to cancer. Though which cancer she was suffering from and its level is not known as yet.

The news was shocking as she never looked sick and there was no hint that she is battling such a life threatening disease. She was active publically and also appeared as a guest panelist on Bravo’s music reality show Platinum Hit.

She has a huge fan following. The number might goes in million. She has throughly entertained us with hit numbers like Last Dance and Bad Girl. Summer was a five-time Grammy Award winner, the first artist ever to score three back-to-back No. 1 double albums, and was nominated–but not chosen–for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.

admin — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 18:35:49 +0000

As the woman who threw the substance at Kardashian was detained, the fire department was called to the scene to determine whether it was harmful. They later gave the all-clear, identifying the white powder as cooking flour.

Dassault Rafale bets Eurofighter Typhoon to Win Indian Air Force Deal

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 09:12:30 +0000

French defence supplier Dassault Aviation, whose Mirage 2000 fighters played a vital role for India during the Kargil conflict in 1999, has emerged as the lowest bidder for the $11-billion ( 55,000 crore) contract to supply 126 fighter jets to the Indian Air Force. It will now enter into exclusive price negotiations with the government and contract for the world’s second-largest open military tender is likely to be inked next fiscal.

Dassault’s Rafale fighter edged out the Eurofighter Typhoon in the final round of a prolonged selection process that saw jets from American firms Boeing and Lockheed Martin, Russia’s MiG 35 and Swedish jet Saab Gripen getting eliminated in technical evaluation rounds. EADS, the European consortium that makes Airbus passenger jets, is a major shareholder in both Eurofighter and Dassault Aviation.

While the defence ministry made no official announcement, executives of Dassault and Eurofighter have been informed of the decision, which was welcomed by French President Nicholas Sarkozy.

The negotiation of the contract will begin very soon with the full support of French authorities. It will include major transfers of technology guaranteed by the French state,” he said. The massive contract going to a French firm comes as a boost to Sarkozy, who faces elections in April in the backdrop of a stuttering economy.

Defence minister AK Antony told agencies that no deal would be signed before the end of March. It will need clearance from the Defence Acquisition Council and will be ultimately signed off by the Cabinet Committee on Security headed by the Prime Minister.
The decision is far from a purely commercial one as it involves years of strategic cooperation. In April, US Ambassador Timothy Roemer resigned a day after it emerged that American fighters were out of the reckoning in the contest.

The contract for the medium multi-role combat jets comes with a 50% offset clause, which means half the value of the contract must be spent in India. This will spell good news for public and private defence contractors.

“This deal, along with the new offset policy retrospected, will get $6 billion through offsets and $6 billion through technology transfers. It will be a force multiplier for small and medium enterprises tapping industries such as defence, aerospace and homeland security,” said S Ravinarayanan, the chairman of Axis Aerospace & Technologies and head of industry lobby group Ficci’s task force on defence offsets.

For Dassault Aviation, whose stock went up 21% on Tuesday, the deal is a shot in the arm. Having failed to find a foreign buyer thus far, French officials had gone on record saying the programme will wind up if the project fails to land export orders. This would not have happened before 2021, when the last of the 180 planes ordered by the French Air Force is scheduled to be delivered.

With this deal, the French have consolidated their presence in the Indian defence space. In 2005, French firm Thales won a 19,000 crore deal to supply Scorpene submarines.

Mumbai Flash Mob Dance

admin — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 14:30:02 +0000

No city can match the spirit of Mumbaikars.Only Mumbaikars can do a thing like that. This is the thought came to my mind when i watching this video.Somewhat the spirit of the young people in the video compelled me to write this post.I’m writing about the dnce of 200 young people on railway platform of CST Mumbai.

Yes 200 young college goers took passengers of Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus,Mumbai by surprise when they started dancing on Aamir Khan’s movie Rang de Basanti track.It all started suddenly.A girl smartly dressed in jeans and shirt started dancing on the title track Rang de Basanti and soon she was joined by another girl and within flash young faces from from sides of the station started joining the dance.

This performance came a day after the third anniversary of terrorist attack on CST.It shows that no one can dampen the spirit of Mumbaikars. This type of dance is called flash mob.It is reletively new in India where a group of people breaks into dance publically performs and disperse quickly once the performance finishes.

While watching the video I saw many confuse faces initially in the video unable to figure out what is happening but as it started sinking in it brought smile on every visible face,old women clapping enjoying throughly.

The video has got maximum numbers of views after nation went viral for kolaveri song.
