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.

Reincarnation Odds -- Beat This If You Can!!
In an instant last May, Chris and Lori Coble lost their three young children in a horrific traffic accident not far from the family’s California, USA home.
The couple was devastated by the sudden and profound loss of their two daughters and a son, but knew even through their grief they were meant to be parents and would be again.
If all goes well, the Cobles told a US magagize reporter on Tuesday, they’ll have two new baby girls and a baby boy next spring.
The couple can’t help but think that it’s all connected-- Reincarnation angle.
“We both knew we wanted more kids,” Lori Coble said. “We’re parents right now without kids. The kids are what made us so happy in life. We knew that if we were still living that we wanted to have more kids.”
Chris Coble said he can’t help but think, from a spiritual perspective, that the children he lost somehow had a hand in his wife’s pregnancy. He believes firmly they are in a better place, and watching over their mom and dad.
“Your mind can’t even think otherwise. If you feel they’re somewhere watching over you, protecting you, and something like this happens, it’s hard to think that somehow they weren’t involved in crafting this,” he said.
The triplets Lori Coble is carrying — two girls and a boy — were conceived through in-vitro fertilization. In the procedure, 10 of Lori Coble’s eggs had been fertilized and three became viable embryos.
Chris Coble, 36, said there was just a 10 percent chance that three of the 10 eggs would be viable. The doctors wanted to implant just two of the embryos, but the couple had lost two girls and a boy and asked for all three embryos to be transferred to Lori Coble’s womb.
This certainly beats Om Shanti Om hands down!

Made In India -- Tata's SuperComp in Top 10
A supercomputer developed by the Tata Group has been adjudged the fastest in Asia and fourth fastest in the world.
The supercomputer, called EKA, has been built at Tata's Pune, India facility. It uses nearly 1,800 computing nodes and has a peak performance of 170 trillion floating-point operations per second.
"High performance computing solutions have an ever-increasing role in the scientific and new technological space the world over," Ratan Tata, chairman of Tata Group, said in a statement.
The rankings have been given by the Top500 Supercomputer Sites list announced at the prestigious SC07 Conference held in the US last night.
India made it to the top 10 for the first time.
Cheers India and Cheers Tata!!
