Construction Time

A foreign tourist hired a guide to take him around Delhi and Agra. At the
Red Fort at Delhi, he admired the architecture and asked how many years it took to build.

Twenty years, replied the guide.

You Indians are a lazy lot, the tourist said. In my country, this could have been built in five.

At Agra he admired the Taj's beauty and asked how many years it took to
build.

Only ten years, said the guide.

The tourist retorted:You Indians are slow! We can construct such buildings in two-and-a-half.

In this fashion the tourist claimed that every building he admired could have been built in his country in quarter the time. Finally, when they reached the Qutab Minar, and the tourist asked what it was, the guide replied: I don't know. It wasn't there yesterday evening.

Top 10 celebrity searches on Google India (2009)

1. Katrina Kaif: If one celebrity suceeded in beating the surge of search queries following Michael Jackson's death was Katrina Kaif.

 

2. Michael Jackson: The death of the King of Pop also had Indians searching for him online, taking him to the No. 2 position on Zeitgeist India.

 

3. Salman Khan: Salman Khan is always in the news and has a fan following perhaps no other current Bollywood actor commands.

 

4. Aishwariya Rai: Often referred to as the most beautiful woman on the planet Aishwariya Rai generates interest online even if she isn't appearing in many movies.

 

5. Shahid Kapoor: Doesn't matter if it is Kapoor or Kapur, Shahid does one better than former girlfriend Kareena. While Kareena is on No. 6, Shahid finds a place on Zeitgeist India right up there at No. 5.

 

6. Kareena Kapoor: Kareena Kapoor always keeps Indians on the net interested. She is a regular on Google Zeitgeist India.

 

7. Shahrukh Khan: The King Khan has climed a step higher than his No. 8 ranking in the 2008 list. But compared to 2007, when SRK was at No. 5 on the most popular search list, the superstar's magic seems to be washing off a little.

 

8. Angelina Jolie: She is perhaps the most recognisable Hollywood face in India over the years and this reflects in her being the eighth most sought after celebrity in India online.

 

9. Megan Fox: Though Indians are interested in Hollywood, but the level on interest pales when compared to Bollywood and Google's Zeitgeist lists are evidence of the fact. While there were no Hollywood celebrities on the Google Zeitgeist India list in 2007 and 2008, in 2009 Megan Fox is the only other Hollywood actress on the list.

 

10. Sachin Tendulkar: We all are aware of the statement "If cricket is a religion, Sachin is God" and there is no question of Sachin's mass popularity in India. But on the Internet compared to India's other 'demigods' the cinema celebrities the Master Blaster looks a little out of form.

Top 10 Yahoo searches in the year 2009

Michael Jackson's death made him Yahoo's biggest star this year.

The quest to find out what happened to Jackson in his final hours on June 25 and celebrate his legacy elevated the late entertainer to the top of the Internet company's annual breakdown of the most frequent online search requests.

The self-proclaimed King of Pop ended singer Britney Spears' four-year reign atop Yahoo's search rankings.

At No. 2 is Twilight, the vampire story that has spawned two movies, including the recently released New Moon, that are drawing hordes of teenage girls and their mothers.

WWE or World Wrestling Entertainment may have its detractors, but when it comes to search popularity, WWE has wrestled its way to the No. 3 spot in Yahoo's search rankings.

Megan Fox, often voted amongst the sexiest women in the planet, whose recently starred in the movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is at No. 4.

Britney Spears seems to be losing her touch. After a four-year-long reign at the top of the Yahoo charts, she has slipped down to the fifth position.

No. 6 is Naruto, a character created for the Japanese art form known as anime.

The popular television series American Idol occupies the seventh position.

Kim Kardashian with her own reality TV series makes her debut on the list at No. 8.

The automobile racing league NASCAR is No. 9.

RuneScape, the online video game, fills up the tenth position.

Rolls Royce's Ghost coming to India in 2010

British super-luxury car manufacturer Rolls Royce unveiled an all-new, premium saloon model — the Ghost — priced at about Rs 2.5 crore. It will come to India in the second quarter of 2010.

Two months after its international debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, the Ghost comes to India. This car is smaller and lighter by 190 kg than its big brother, the Phantom, and is priced at Rs 2.5 crore. The four-door saloon is powered by a 6.6 litre V12 engine and does 100 kmph in less than five seconds.

The company says that the Ghost is more informal and casual than the phantom — more like an everyday car. It took four and a half years in developing this car and the interiors of the car use Malabar wood sourced from Kerala.

The BMW group company expects to sell about 50-60 units of the Ghost in 2010 although delivery would take three-four months.
