I was the lucky Rolls Royce engineer who restored this car 40 years ago for Bill Meredith-Owens in England and I am delighted it is back where it rightfully belongs. I have very fond memories of this car and would love to hear from the new owners. Martin Gibbs

November 24, 2010.

Dr. Manmohan Singh,
Prime Minister of India,
South Block,
New Delhi.

Dear Prime Minister:

You may by now have realized that the 2G Spectrum scandal is not only
bad for the country in the dimension of corruption, but now it
emerges that there is a national security dimension too. The RAW, IB,
CBI, ED all have enough material which they may have placed before
you regarding the dubious aspects of the principal player in this
scam.

According to my information two sisters, Anushka and Nadia, of Ms
Sonia Gandhi had received sixty percent of the kickbacks in this deal
i.e. Rs.18,000 crores each. The frequent travel of Sonia Gandhi and
her immediate family to Malaysia, Hongkong, Dubai and parts of Europe
including London requires to be probed under the law. What requires
your special attention is the mode of the travel, not by commercial
airliners, but by jets provided by the corporate sector which itself
is illegal under the DGCA Rules. I find that often Ms. Sonia Gandhi
and family have traveled to Dubai and then traveled onwards on
private jets provided by dubious Arab business interests to Europe.
It is not clear on what passport they have traveled. In Dubai they
were felicitated by agencies of countries which are hostile to India
including that of Pakistan.

You can no more not take a stand when evil is permeating in the
country in the form of terrorism, religious conversion and
demographic infiltration. The ill-gotten money

What a waste!
by Bheemasenachar Koppar on Dec 05, 2010 08:51 AM

It appears Rich in India are obsessed with doing away with the cash on inappropriate and useless items (like the present one), instead putting it (cash) to use for the present problems and future of the kids (albeitself) of Rajkot atleast. That act would have made people to look at them with lot of respect. What a pity, such clamming about the waste!

Star Companies always remain on Hiring Spree Mode.
by Lakshya Vision on Dec 01, 2010 01:55 PM

But these are fool companies as they don't know that the companies with progressive nature always support the idea of multiplying their headcount.
Top executives normally adopt the mode of decreasing headcount to show profitability and please owners/promoters ,however they keep on increasing expenses on their own vested interest matters.
Owners are fools who say cutting expenses on headcount helps them to increase profitability, in turn it looses their brand image in market and consequently market share.
Companies are not made up of Brick or Morter but their reputation rests on employees welfare.
More HANDS simply translates into Handsome profitability for any organisation of any nature and business magniture.
The sign of good companies is that they keep on adding manpower even in times of market recession as it helps them to amplify their brand image.
Good companies always believe in recruiting people in rural area and help to decongest Metros and Major cities. They spread their wings by networking strongly across length and breadth of nation by appointing marketing employees in all cities and rural areas rather concentrating every employee at their Head office.

The title - Star of India - s'd be given to something worthwhile and indigenous. Not to a piece of old imported junk.
