'Google most valuable brand in world'

India's leading private sector lender ICICI Bank has ranked 45 among the 100 most valuable brands in the world, a list that has been topped by Google.

"With a brand value of USD 14.5 billion, the Indian bank ICICI is the first Indian brand to feature in the BrandZ Top 100.

"ICICI is the bank that introduced retail banking to India and stands to profit from the country's continuing growth," according to the fifth annual Millward Brown Optimor BrandZ Top100 Most Valuable Global Brands 2010 list.

It said ICICI pioneered ATMs in India to provide wide access to banking and to help flatten the society's hierarchical structure.

Separately, ICICI, which now operates almost 5,000 ATMs in India and is present in 18 countries, ranked number 10 out of the top 20 financial institution brands.

Apart from ICICI, another Indian company Infosys made its debut in Millward's 'technology category'.

"Outside of the Top 100, Infosys is a second Indian brand, also new this year.

"Originator of the term 'the flat world', Infosys is India's most valuable technology brand and with a brand value of USD 6.4 billion, is a strong contender to enter the Top 100 ranking soon," it said.

Infosys ranked 18 in the top 20 technology brands category.

Technology brands demonstrated their pervasiveness in people's daily lives, with Google topping the list as the Most Valuable Global Brand with a total worth of USD 114 billion.

IBM was second at USD 86 billion, followed by Apple now worth USD 83 billion.

Microsoft was fourth with a value of USD 76 billion.

Facebook, the popular social networking site, entered the technology sector ranking for the first year with a brand value of USD 5.5 billion.

Others companies featuring in the top 10 include Coca Cola, McDonald's, Marlboro, China Mobile, GE and Vodafone.

"When most key financial indicators plummeted, the value of the top 100 brands rose by four per cent in the last year to more than USD 2 trillion.

"In the past, many companies were quick to cut their marketing spend during a down economy.

"A new trend has emerged in the wake of the recession as more companies realised the importance of maintaining and even increasing budgets to support brand loyalty and engagement," said Joanna Seddon, CEO of Millward Brown Optimor.

Among the top 100 brands are HP (12), Blackberry (14), HSBC (23), BMW (25), Toyota (26), Louis Vuitton (29), ExxonMobil (39), Nokia (43), Honda (46), Pepsi (58), Sony (94) and Gucci (97).

First Indian film to feature a gay kiss, Dunno Y … Na Jaane Kyun,

the first gay kiss in India's cinematic history.

The posters are ready, so is the film. The only question is whether the Indian public is too.

Dunno Y … Na Jaane Kyun, a film featuring India's first cinematic gay kiss, is scheduled to go on general release within weeks.

Already dubbed India's answer to Brokeback Mountain it tells the story of an aspiring model who travels to Mumbai, India's commercial and film capital, to seek his fortune and enters into a homosexual relationship, in part to further his career.

Trailers of the film have been well received by activists.

"It looks good," said Ashok Row Kavi, editor of Bombay Dost, India's first gay magazine. It talks of the complexities [of being gay] in India. Taboos are still very strong and hopefully it will change things."

For decades Bollywood avoided graphic depictions of even heterosexual kisses, with films famously cutting away to images of budding flowers, breaking waves or crashing waterfalls at the crucial moment.

Earlier this year a film called Love, Sex … and Dhokha (ditching) which included relatively graphic scenes of heterosexual sex was released. Though there was much media debate, the film generated little public outrage, encouraging those seeking to draw the largely formulaic Indian film industry in new directions. However the most explicit sequences in the film were cut or altered by censors.

"The sexual revolution has been under way in Bollywood for half a decade," said Anupama Chopra, film critic and author. "Kissing is now fairly acceptable for most of the younger stars. The younger directors are responding to an evolving audience."

However homosexuality remains taboo. The nearest Bollywood has got to portraying same-sex relationships so far is the 2008 film Dostana – which showed two straight men pretending to be gay to persuade a landlady to allow her beautiful daughter to be their housemate. At the end of the film, as a punishment, they kiss.

"It was a comedy but did involve big names playing effeminate men on screen," Chopra said.

Last week a gay film festival in Mumbai attracted big crowds.

"From India alone there are 25 films … I thought not many queer films were made in India," the festival director, Sridhar Rangayan, told DNA newspaper.

The committee was careful about their selection however.

"We don't want to hurt the Indian sensibility. We had to discard 30 films for various reasons," Rangayan said.

Gay activists fear Dunno Y will provoke a backlash from religious and political conservatives, many of whom opposed the recent effective repeal of colonial-era Indian laws that made homosexuality punishable by up to 10 years in prison as a crime "against nature".

Promotional posters for Dunno Y … Na Jaane Kyun showing two semi-naked young men embracing did spark controversy last year.

The film's director, Sanjay Sharma, told the BBC recently that Indian cinemagoers were "mature enough" to deal with the story line.

"At the moment I'm not thinking about any political or censor problems," Sharma said.

Sharma's brother Kapil, who plays the lead, insisted that Indian audiences were ready to accept homosexuality on screen. Change however is slow.

"We are still a very long way from seeing a mainstream major star play a gay role and that we won't see that soon," Chopra said.

She is life

Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as
you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven’t, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as
much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook
food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,
and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother,
a wife, even if she doesn’t want to; and is learning just like you are as
to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won’t like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won’t, simply
Because you won’t like it, even though you say otherwise

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important,
relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some
and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house – your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly – your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this……

Please appreciate “HER”

Sachin becomes first batsman to score 200 in an ODI

Sachin Tendulkar


GWALIOR: Milestone man Sachin Tendulkar re-wrote the record books on Wednesday, hammering the first double century in the history of one-day cricket to add another feather to his well-adorned cap.


The capacity crowd at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium witnessed history on Wednesday as Tendulkar, statistically the greatest batsman the game has ever seen, pushed a Charl Langeveldt delivery through the off-side and ran a single to achieve a feat which no other cricketer has achieved.

One-day international cricket, since its 1971 inception, had to wait nearly four decades to see a batsman score 200. The previous best mark was shared by Zimbabwean Charles Coventry (194 not out against Bangladesh in 2009) and Pakistan's Saeed Anwar (194 against India in 1997).

As the crowd erupted with unbridled joy, Tendulkar, tired but composed, took off his helmet, looked skyward, closed his eyes to offer a silent prayer.

His captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni came down from the striker's end to shake hands and hug him.

And as Tendulkar set on his way back to the pavilion after the completion of the Indian innings, a tumultuous celebration greeted him.

The crowd gave him a standing ovation as the entire stadium erupted in euphoria while his teammates were simply ecstatic as they clapped and hugged each other, basking in the glory of their senior teammates.

Tendulkar batted like a man with a mission on Wednesday and the South African bowlers simply had no clue where to bowl.

Once he crossed the 150-mark, the crowd anticipated something special and Tendulkar did not let them down.

A six off Roelof van der Merwe took him past Kapil Dev's 175 not out and in the next over, he hit Jacques Kallis for a four to equal his previous best of 186 not out that had come against New Zealand in Hyderabad in 1999.

The crowd got restless as Tendulkar approached the 194-run mark and a couple off Wayne Parnell saw him eclipse it.

His teammates and spectators were on the edge of their seat with a double century round the corner but with Dhoni going berserk at the striker's end and facing most of the deliveries, it was an agonising wait for all.

Dhoni took singles off the final deliveries of the 47th-49th overs and Tendulkar finally took strike with four balls left in the innings.

The first ball he received from Langeveldt was steered past point and Tendulkar ran for a single to remain unbeaten after an unforgettable unbeaten 200 that came off just 147 balls with 25 fours and three sixes in it.

It was yet another milestone for the man, who has some 30,000 international runs under his belt, including 93 centuries (47 in Tests and 46 in ODIs).

10 Biggest Job Interview Blunders

joIn this lousy market, don't be your own worst enemy. Here are the most common mistakes candidates are making -- and how to fix them.

Here are the most common errors career coaches at OI Partners see -- and how to fix them:

10. Over-Explaining Why You Lost Your Last Job

It's okay to mention that your last position was eliminated, but then move on to what you can do for this employer.

9. Conveying That You're Not Over It

"During interviews, some people are acting wounded, angry or sad," Schoonover says. These are normal emotions after a layoff but they don't belong in a job interview -- or you may "seem unstable and communicate that you don't grasp the business reasons for layoffs," he adds.

8. Lacking Humor, Warmth, or Personality

Many anxious job candidates are "one-dimensional during interviews, and are too focused on getting their talking points across," notes Schoonover. "Don't forget to show qualities that can be a real plus in the decision-making process, including humor in good taste, warmth, and understanding." One thing interviewers want to know, of course, is how pleasant you would be to have around the place every day.

7. Not Showing Enough Interest or Enthusiasm

After all, "companies are looking for people who are excited about working with them," Schoonover says.

6. Inadequate Research About a Potential Employer

It's essential to be up on the latest news, so be sure to Google the company before the interview. Be prepared with well-informed, thoughtful questions about its products or services and its future plans. Many applicants aren't bothering, Schoonover says, and it shows.

5. Concentrating Too Much on What You Want

Focus more on what the interviewer is saying. Listening carefully is crucial in steering the conversation toward how you would fit in and what you have to offer.

4. Trying to Be All Things to All People

"Devote most of your effort to talking about what you know you do well, and don't try to stretch your actual qualifications too far," Schoonover advises. A good rule of thumb: Don't apply for any job unless you have at least 75% of the stated qualifications.

3. "Winging" the Interview

Schoonover hears from many hiring managers that candidates often aren't ready to answer difficult questions. So rehearse. "Prepare and practice a 90-second verbal resume, and some answers to possible questions, so that you come across as succinct," he suggests.

2. Failing to Set Yourself Apart From Other Candidates

"You have to make the strongest possible case for why you are the best person for the job," Schoonover says. "Specifically address what impact you can have on sales, profits, costs, or productivity within the next three to six months. Use quantifiable achievements from past positions to back up your performance promise."

And the No. 1 mistake OI Partners' coaches see job hunters make:

1. Failing to Ask For the Job

"You have a much better chance of getting the job if you ask for it," says Schoonover. "Close the interview by summing up what you can bring to the job, and ask for the opportunity to deliver those results."

Australia most sinful nation in the world: Study

Australia is the most sinful nation on the Earth, a study has claimed as the country ranked first overall in seven deadly sins, which include lust, greed and pride. "The country that gave the world The Body, Sylvania Waters and Les Patterson has been ranked first overall in a study of the seven deadly sins - lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride," according to 'Courier Mail' newspaper that qouted the latest edition of BBC's focus magazine. Australia took out the dubious honour in the edition of BBC's magazine of science, technology and the future. While US topped the table for gluttony, South Korea topped the list for lust. Iceland ranked number one for both pride and sloth and Mexico topped the list for greed, the study revealed. Australia's biggest weakness was envy and ranked in the top 10 in all categories to give a higher aggregate than the US, Canada, Finland or Britain. The article, which argues that people are "bad" by nature, has found social data to compare nations under the categories of wrath, sloth, pride, lust, greed, gluttony and envy. The report said the to determine country's wrongdoigns, the researchers studied levels of violent crime by comparing incidents of assault, rape and murder per 1000 people. For sloth, they looked at the number of days off workers have. For pride the comparison was made on plastic surgery rates per capita, and for lust they looked at the amount people spent on porn.
