Jamshedpur, July 22: For residents here, the television set was their best friend, as the cloud cover made it difficult to enjoy the total solar eclipse.

Students and office-goers were armed with X-ray plates and special filter glasses, but all in vain. The sun was barely visible in the sky and most had to be satisfied with watching the spectacle live on TV.

Chandigarh, July 15
The phone call from the PMO on June 20 came completely out of the blue. Ram Sevak Sharma, an IAS officer of the 1978 batch, was asked to meet Nandan M Nilekani at New Delhi’s Maurya Sheraton hotel after two days. He was elated to learn he had been selected to work with none other than the co-founder of IT services powerhouse Infosys at the National Unique Identification Authority of India (NUIAI), which the software czar heads.

KOLKATA, INDIA: Dealers across Siliguri are accusing Microsoft of using unethical marketing techniques to sell its products and threating dealers across the region with dire consequences.

In a similar situation in Jamshedpur just two months back, Microsoft had allegedly raided the offices of channel partners. Now the software major has taken its anti-piracy drive to Siliguri where it is allegedly forcing partners to sell unrealistic targets. Dealers say that if they were refusing to meet the specified targets Microsoft was threatening them with legal action.

Jamshedpur, Jan. 27: National Science Day is set to get bigger and better this year. Reason: the Union government has decided to bear the cost of celebrations partially.

Constituent colleges of Ranchi University (RU) are preparing to observe National Science Day — celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of scientist C.V. Raman — on February 28. And the theme for the year is exposing horizons of science.

A few colleges in the city have planned events for the entire week.

Jamshedpur can be an IT hub but for that the government needs to open an IT park.

Indian IT market is growing very well. Current survey from DataQuest has revealed a 35% plus growth. This seems to be good trend. In my opinion - 2007, and 2008 is going to have even better results. Lets wait and watch.
