“I think, our structure is superior to the Infosys global delivery model,” Premji told reporters here in response to a question on how Wipro’s organisation structure compared with that of Infosys’ global delivery model.

In its quest for universal chastity, the puritanical government in Gujarat has moved to restrict marriage thus, according to good old ToI:

But does that mean we fold our hands and wait for deliverance?
That is precisely what we seem to be doing in this so-called peace process which we are pursuing with our neighbor.
Drawing pictures of people is frowned upon by religious authorities, and thus by the police. It remains to be seen whether the rest of mankind will be arrested like this textbook publisher for pictorial offenses:
MEERUT: Police on Wednesday arrested a person for allegedly publishing school books depicting imaginary picture of Prophet Hazrat Mohammad in one of its chapters and sealed the publication’s office here.
Imaginary, eh?
We are told that
Police dhamkis to scriptwriter, part-time bookie and confirmed weirdo, Jayesh Muni, means English blockbusters like Ganpati, Intention, Single Fish, Sumo, UFO, Annaconda part III and Hindi ones like Indira, Maniben and Gundi won?t quite make it to the Oscars.
