As if the 11 IPL match ban was not enough, the Mumbai Indiana team has seemingly disowned one of their best players. The corporate web site of the Mumbai Indians does not even recognize the 'Turbantor' as one of their players. http://www.themumbaiindians.com/players.html
Is this really going to affect the future of Harbhajan Singh with the Indian Team as well? Whatever, this slap controversy does not bade well for our mercurial Bhajji.
Well, Bhajji, what can we say...just don't lose your cool.
All the best!

Mobile Satellite Phone Service For Asia-Pacific
Thuraya, the United Arab Emirates-based world's largest provider of handheld mobile satellite services, is set to commercially launch its operations in the Asia-Pacific markets by January with the launch of its third satellite on Monday."The launch of Thuraya-3 is a significant milestone in the company's progress towards realising its strategic vision of becoming a dynamic, world leading, multi-regional mobile satellite operator," Thuraya Chief Executive Yousuf Al Sayed said.
Though the launch of Thuraya-3 was originally scheduled for 9.47 pm (IST) Sunday, it has been rescheduled for 7.47 pm on Monday, according to the Abu Dhabi-headquartered Thuraya website.Thuraya-3 is the third and latest geo-mobile satellite manufactured by Boeing for Thuraya, and will be launched by the US-based Sea Launch rocket from the Equator in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
The first two satellites, Thuraya-1 and Thuraya-2, the largest commercial satellites ever in their times, were launched in 2000 and 2003 respectively.The Sea Launch rocket will place Thuraya-3 into geosynchronous transfer orbit. The satellite will then eventually approach its designated orbital slot at 98.5 degrees east longitude.
Once operational, the new satellite will commercially double Thuraya's current coverage to include all Asia-Pacific countries, enabling it to offer its handheld, fixed, broadband and maritime services in China, Japan, Australia, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Comprehensive Win for India-The Series Is Ours!
It was a comprehensive win over Pakistan with all-round performance by India. Initially the bowlers and then the batsmen made sure that Pakistan was not in competition any more.
Tendulkar batting today in the backdrop of 18 years of his illustrious Test Cricket career that he embarked upon on this very day against Pakistan. Tendulkar is bent upon making another record for himself that no one can break, that of getting out most times in the nineties. It is sixth time this year, second time in this series and 16 times overall for him. A world record!! Being Tendulkar, you of course deserve them all.
India have now attained the unassailable 3-1 lead before the last ODI. They then go into the Test Matches with their heads high and noses ahead!

Nirula's Ice Cream Museum
The melting ice cream has now got its first museum in India.
Housed in the country's oldest fast-food outlet, Nirula's Ice Cream Factory, New Delhi , India, the museum is all set to give scoops on the swirls' history and trivia.
A recent study done by Nirula's has revealed that those whose favourite flavour is chocolate are naughty, full of energy and usually smile through all their troubles. But if Vanilla - the highest-selling flavour in the world - gets your taste-buds tingling, then you are quiet and sincere.
The museum also shows how ice creams are made and visitors can even try and make one.
There is no entry fee because, for Nirula's, this venture is not about revenues but about brands.
For now, the the museum will throw its doors open only to children and that too, once a week. But as nearly half the ice cream produced in India is consumed by adults, it won't be long before Nirula's will give all ice cream addicts a chance to spoon in.
