Commonwealth Games Challenges
With the Commonwealth Games fast approaching, a reality check shows that Delhi hotels are ill prepared to handle the expected surge in 2010. According to industry experts, the number of hotel rooms required in the national capital region (NCR) for the Games would be around 40,000. Currently the number stands at around 7000 to 7500 rooms in the branded hotels segment. And according to trade analysts even if one were to add hotel rooms in areas like Karol Bagh, Paharganj and Daryaganj, the total number would not add up to more than 15,000. With an estimated 5,000-6,000 additional branded rooms expected to be added in the interim, the shortfall is still huge. Almost 50%!

No CommentsToy reviews: Magneatos Jumbo (magnetic building pieces)
Magneato Jumbo and what they offer.
Over the years, there have been many magnetic construction kits on the market, and the disadvantage that they posed was that the metal balls that hold the constructions together were too small and easy to swallow, and that supervision of children using them was essential. The idea of these construction kits really is a simple one. Pieces have magnets at each end, and the shapes that these are made in were traditionally triangles, rods and squares, and the child can make a construction by putting the pieces together, using the magnets to hold their construction in place.

No CommentsDigital camera reviews: Canon EOS 350D
The Canon EOS 350D Digital Camera is a DSLR or Digital Single-Lens Reflex camera. This means that it has a fast shutter speed and also that you can take several shots in quick succession. I find this a bit improvement on my old Nikon Coolpix which sometimes took a few seconds between shots depending on how much battery power was left.
It is much bulkier than the smaller more compact camera so if you don’t want to carry it on holidays you would be better of with a compact or disposable camera.
I find the Canon EOS is good for image quality with 8 mega-pixels.
The start-up time when you switch in on is a matter of a couple of seconds. The battery Read the rest of this entry »
No CommentsBombing gracefully: Tips for surviving a joke that falls flat – Part 6

Some comedians will go back to the well if a joke doesn’t get the intended response only to find equal and prolonged failure. It is best to switch gears and get on track with some other funny material.
But before doing that, pointing out a failed joke can produce a much needed laugh. As is the case with the commonly used line, “They can’t all be gold.” David Letterman can produce chuckles from his audience acknowledging the Read the rest of this entry »

I was born 21 minutes after midnight on a New Year’s Day in a small southern capital city. Over the years, I have heard stories from the older friends and family members that my birth was special because of its timing.
