| Pakistan's slowdown | 11-NOV-09 |

| Great Indian telecom boom begins to ring hollow | 08-NOV-09 |
|
| When telecom executives went into a meeting with Communications Minister A Raja on Tuesday evening inside the peeling walls of Sanchar Bhawan in New Delhi, they may have believed that things were so bad they could not get any worse. They were wrong. The highlight of the meeting was Raja asking mobile telephony operators to reduce termination charges, the money that an operator pays another to whose network the call is made. |

| Kambli on front foot | 11-OCT-09 |
|
| Everyone is wondering what is the political strategy of former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli, who is contesting as a candidate of the Lok Bharati Party, a part of the coalition of 16 parties led by RPI(A) leader Ramdas Athavale. People are wondering why Kambli chose to contest from a general category seat (Vikhroli in the north-eastern suburb of Mumbai) and not from a reserved constituency despite that fact that he belongs to a scheduled caste. Political analysts also point out that Kambli, 37, got a flak from the media recently when he criticised cricket icon and childhood friend Sachin Tendulkar for not helping him. |

| Harping on health | 08-SEP-09 |
|
| Hindustan Unilever’s leading soap brands, Lifebuoy and Lux, have lost market share to Reckitt Benckiser’s Dettol, Wipro’s Santoor and Godrej’s No.1 in the recent past. Together, the two brands still lord over close to a third of the Rs 7,500-crore market for soaps. But rivals have turned on the heat — price warriors have maximised gains from the current economic slowdown. |

| Hairpin bend ahead | 24-JUL-09 |
|
| Investors in Singapore have to be either terribly confused or terribly impressed. They’ve just been told by Surface Transport Minister Kamal Nath that he plans to increase five-fold the pace of construction of highways in the country, to 20 km a day. Mr Nath, who is currently on a trip to South-East Asia, plans to repeat his message in the US and Europe. To convince them, he has outlined some of his plans. These include setting up of 150 exclusive land acquisition wings, reducing the stranglehold that engineers have on the National Highways Authority of India — engineers typically over-specify projects, making them non-bankable. The minister gives the example of the Belgaum-Dharwad highway where paring of unnecessary service lanes and flyovers has reduced the cost by 40 per cent, from the original estimate of Rs 480 crore. An expressway authority has also been announced. |

| Behind the wheel | 04-JUL-09 |

| I currently drive an August 2005 Mahindra Scorpio CRDE SLX. I love driving and am also very passionate about it. I am looking at replacing my Scorpio and I am very confused. Ideally, I would like to buy an SUV, but my budget is about Rs 15 lakh and I don’t want to buy a Scorpio again or a Tata Safari. I’d prefer a diesel as I drive 60 km daily to office and back, make a trip of 600 km every two months and one trip of 2,000 km a year. |

| Switch hit | 20-JUN-09 |
|
| Your spanking new Scorpio’s parked in the backyard, freshly washed , glinting in the sunlight and begging to be taken for a ride. You succumb to its entreaties, pick up the keys and jump in, a tune on your lips. You settle into the driver’s seat, adjust the mirrors, slip your favourite CD into the audio system, turn up the air-conditioning and crank her up. The engine settles into a steady idle; you engage first and you’re off. The Scorpio’s running smoothly and the new-car smell hovers around your nostrils. You smile — everything’s as it should be. In the distance, you see cars slowing down as the traffic signal turns from amber to red. You shed speed accordingly, downshifting until you come to a gentle halt, and you put the Scorpio into neutral. Just over two seconds later, the engine cuts out automatically. “Whoa! What’s going on?!” you wonder. |
