In today's briefing:

1.  We have been reading for quite some time about Press Note 5.  It is about FDI in telecom.  The government finally made up its mind.

2.  Pakistan has the first Hindu Chief Justice.  Although only in acting capacity.  Rana Bhagwan Das.

3.  Pakistan test fires Hatf VII missile successfully.   What is it a match for?  Can u name it?

4.  Sensational news trickling in about Bob Woolmer's death.

5.  Ever heard of a PSU called SCL?  Take a look; it's being revived.

6.  The geeks among you would know what is flash memory.  The ubiquitous HDD may finally be booted out in years to come.  Look at why.

7.  Is it time for us to sing adieu to the IPI pipeline.  It seems to be having more against it than anything positive.

8.  Ever heard of "Integrity Pact"?  What is it?  Who came up with it in the first place?

9.  Something about FBT on ESOPS.

10.  Excellent piece from Narendar Pani on Nandigram.  Read it in full.

11.  An equally good piece on farm strategies from Rajivlochan.

12.  Why is Wangari Maathai in news?

13.  Who is Srinivasa Varadhan?  Can connect with Math?  Abel Prize?  What is it about? 

14.  India gets a chance to host World Cup Hockey.  I have become very cynical about our ability to play Hockey any longer.  My bets are:  India vs any other country -- the odds are 1:100 :(

15.  Who is Parduman Singh? 

16.  Pakistan announced a posthumous award for Bob Woolmer.  What is it?

That's all for today folks.

Happy reading.

Ramakrishna
