foray of retail stores in India

The world's largest retailer has teamed up with India's Bharti Enterprises Ltd. — a business conglomerate focused mostly on telecommunications — to set up hundreds of stores across the country, said Sunil Bharti Mittal, chairman and CEO of the Indian company. In recent years, several large Indian companies have diversified into retail business.

Reliance Industries Ltd., has already lined up billion of dollars to invest in a retail chain that would also showcase large superstores like Wal-Mart. The company opened its first retail outlet "FRESH" in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad in November 2006.

Rising middle class incomes and an increase in demand for branded products, however, make India a compelling destination for global retail companies.

What will happen to crores of small retailers in India? Has the government thought of this?



Danger for small retailers for sure.

Mr. President

Another five months are left for President A P J Abdul Kalam's term to end and already his successor is picked, Big B, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan (If sources are to be believed).

Samajwadi Party, Telugu Desam Party, AIADMK , and Asom Gana Parishad are allegedly supporting for his candidature.

I somehow feel that he's the wrong guy for the position. Mr. Kalam should continue with 2nd term in the office. He is the best president that we can have.

so what do you guys think, Who should be the next President of India ?

Munna bhai chale amerika!

Third movie in the Munna-Circuit series has been announced. It’s called Munna bhai chale amerika. Script isn’t finalized yet but it’s evident from the title that Munna and Circuit will start on their journey to America and movie is expected to release in 2008 (2008 nahi....plz yaar rajkumar thoda jald karnaa, emergency hai... I can't wait for long.. [:( ]). And of course this one will be definitely worth waiting for.

And and guess what???? I saw the first promo of the latest part (gawd!!! the promo was damn hilarious one, I was laughing out loud in the theatre..) which was shot at Karjat, near Mumbai recently, in the interval break (went to watch Eklavya today). Since Munnabhai and Circuit are going to America, they have been shown as they started learning English.

And the shooting for the film will begin from October this year.
