And don't forget our quiz page which was updated today early in the morning at http://quizindia.blogspot.com/

In today's briefing:

1.  You have asked me to say something about the Doha round of talks.  I covered it today in the Discover It blog. 

2.  Today is World Environment Day.  What is its theme?  Can you guess?

3.  Remember Charles Simonyi?  He is the guy from Microsoft who developed Microsoft Word.  Subsequently he quit M$ and formed his own company.  He is a billionaire by the way.  He started what is called "intentional programming".  Any idea what is this about?  Take a look at it.

4.  We rarely get to know the details of manpower in our defence forces.  Take a look at it today.

5.  How many of you have heard of the Indus Water Commission?  I am sure you would have heard about the Indus Water Treaty of 1960.  But the Commission?  Today we look at it in some depth.

6.  Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding presented.  To whom?  Any idea?

7.  Largest newspaper markets in the world.  What are they?

8.  Press Note 1 of 2005 revisited.

9.  Gujjars call of stir.  What is the deal?

10.  BMW case minutiae.

11.  Credit flow figures to SME segment in 2006-07.

12.  Today's ET had some excellent comments on the caste-based reservation system.  Couldn't resist giving you some excerpts.

That's all for today.  Happy reading.

Ramakrishna
