Hello World,

By chance, today I got an audio footage containing Swami Vivekanandha’s speech on spirituality.

I am not a  eligible person to rate the speech but, it was like a treat hearing to the speech. You would not really know how the 30 minute speech made me stick to the seat. Initially it may bore for you., if you are interested kindly give your heart to the speech and listen.

 I hereby share a link containing the audio.

Feel the difference.

Back to the design posts…

I was really amazed when I saw the design of the proposed Songjiang Hotel in China. World construction major ATKINS has won the bid for constructing this hotel.

The hotel is to be constructed on a 100 meter deep quarry. The hotel boasts of 400 beds with conference room , club facilities, sports and even adventure sports.  The design engineers say that the design makes the hotel unaffected by any climate and weather calamities.

Though the design looks like the construction may takes tens of years to complete., the design is to be complete by 2009 end.

A tit bit finally. Wanna be a tiger rider ?

Interesting, isn’t it?

Trully it was a exhillirating video, the Initial promotional video of IPL. With the controversies happened in the Series Down Under, the IPL video spot lighted on the sensational feelings of the people’s minds. I personally liked the final clips where Dhoni smashes the stumps for a run out and Hayden or Gilchrist (I am not sure) gets bowled over by a yorker. It would be interested to see how the ICL takes this competition on.

Some IPL facts you would need to know..

• The Title sponsor is bagged by DLF (The Real estate giants) for Rs. 125 Crore and ofcourse it is for a span of 5 years. Pepsi was a close contestant.
• The TV rights for 10 years of IPL coverage is bagged by Sony group and Singapore-based World Sports Group (WSG) for $1 Billion, which includes promotions for the event also.
• Having the latest bid info on Feb21, the total bidding for all players accounted for 161 Crore rupees.
• Now we see, hell a lot of money being invloved here, though Mr. Laltit Modi, Chairman of IPL says it is a win win situation for all, I leave it to BS to take this issue on for a detailed analysis and info that you would have been wondering till now, “How the team owners get such an amount of  invested money back”.,  http://www.business-standard.com/common/news_article.php?leftnm=10&bKeyFlag=BO&autono=314593.
