Everybody loves Drew!

35-year-old Drew Barrymore is playing a Greenpeace worker in the upcoming movie Everybody Loves Whales, which is based on a true story of three trapped gray whales. The movie is scheduled to be shot in Alaska and will employ Alaskans for some 1000 extras’ roles and 30-40 speaking roles in the movie. And word is that this opportunity to work in a film starring Drew has gotten the ‘cold’ Alaskans all fired up!

Barmy army?

The army’s fallen behind China

Considered to be among the best in the world in terms of skills and professionalism, the second largest army of the world has for long kept itself apolitical and has won many a war for the country. But over the last few years, it has been losing some of its sheen due to a severe shortage of commissioned officers, increasing pressure to deal with insurgency, suicides among its personnel and inordinate delay in getting the right kind of hardware owing to political indecisiveness. While it finds its artillery capability severely hamstrung owing to cannibalization of its old Bofors 155mm guns, for fear of political backlash, the new contracts for the 155mm Howitzers are not being awarded to the Swedish company, even though now it is a subsidiary of BAE Systems. Though Indian Army’s budget has been considerable increased in recent past, the fact is that China has gone far ahead of India in terms of troop modernisation, without a matching response from India. Yet, in the worst of times and amidst hostile neighbours, the army still remains our best bet... with feet on the ground!

“Consolidation will benefi t those who want to cover all points of travel: domestic full fare, low cost & international”

Be that as it may, it cannot be denied that GoAir continues to bleed with heavy losses, as is true for every aircraft carrier in the country. The reason, according to Jeh, is the triumvirate of three – infrastructure, policies & taxes, all of which need to be bettered for the next big leap forward in Indian aviation. “Taxes are the first concern. If the barrel is costing about $73, then we pay 27% more than that as sales tax. I mean it is ridiculous & not heard of anywhere else in the world. Why don’t we incorporate corporate income tax? If this gets done, then I would get profitable overnight.” He laments how 60% of the airline income goes to the government & petroleum company, which the company can’t control. And the figure for that internationally is 27%. That’s one major reason for the failure to make profits yet, according to Jeh. In fact, raising a question on the aggressive expansion plans of his many competitors, Jeh is of the view that the more planes you have; the more losses one makes. In fact, he says that given the prevailing conditions in the aviation sector, GoAir has revised its earlier estimates of fleet expansion, & restricted them to 35 planes by 2011 (instead of 50 aircraft s).

“Blood Diamond”

One cannot deny that Dharavi (located in the heart of the city) is an eye sore (it is a bustling industrial area, generating up to $39 million each year from more than 4,500 industries manufacturing everything from glass bangles to bread to leather goods). We need to create hygienic surroundings and offer a better life to our citizens. The problem arises when the vested interests overpower the honesty of purpose to ameliorate the lives of the people. If slum improvement is only a pretext to loot, who will support such measures? All efforts must be made to prevent the builder lobby from minting gold out of the garbage dump and leaving the slum dwellers high & dry. At present, if the government genuinely wants to do a commendable job, it must frame a transparent policy to transfer the land to genuine bidders and more importantly, draw up a rehabilitation plan, which takes due cognisance of people’s needs, for whom the slums are a source of shelter as well as livelihood. The efforts by the government and the builders to create a Nandigram or a “Blood Diamond”-like situation in Mumbai, need to be opposed tooth and nail.

Smartphones are here to stay

The promising future is what manufacturers are jubilant about. Apart from being an answer to the prayers of an increasing number of globe trotting managers, device manufacturers are looking to capture the vast middle-level market through price reduction. Moreover, upcoming iPhone seems to be creating hushed expectations to trigger a mass reform in the smart phone market.

The booming market seems to be good news for players like RIM, Nokia, iMate, High Tech Computer (HTC) that battle each other head on for a lead position. Meanwhile another battle that rages is that of the Operating Systems with major players being Linux & Windows.
Manufacturers are also very optimistic about Indian markets. This optimism has been caught on by Bharti Airtel which after a tie-up with Blackberry has now bagged an alliance with smart phone manufacturer High Tech Computer. IDC claims that the Indian scene sees Nokia leading the way in the battle with Blackberry following close behind with a market market share of 11.4%. Whether the leaders would maintain their position remains to be seen as the players like iMate & HTC aren’t about to sit back and accept defeat. The battle has just begun!
