Formula one is going to hit india very soon.
In october 2011 Indians will witness the world's best sports car drivers showcase their driving skills in the ultimate racing event. Indian Grand Prix will be the 18th race on the 20-race 2011 calendar, released by the FIA
after a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council.
The race track will come up at Greater Noida. Will this event also go the Common Wealth games way? Only time will tell. However, we can hope that FIA does really approve the race track being formed in India.
India made it to the formula one with a team Force India. However, it is yet to have any drivers make it to formula One. If a racing track comes up in the country then surely there will be a lot of people getting into racing.
The racing track is expected to be used not only for car racing but also for moto GP.

Indian Rupee (INR) gets an unique identity
, India has finally got a symbol for the Rupee and joined a select club
of countries whose currencies have an unique identity. The Cabinet on
Thursday approved the new symbol for the Indian rupee - an amalgam of
the Devnagiri 'Ra' and the Roman capital 'R' without the stem. The
Rupee will join the select club of global currencies like the US
dollar, the British Pound, European Euro and Japanese Yen that have
unique symbols. The growing influence of the Indian economy in the
global space has prompted this move.
Presently, the abbreviation for the Indian Rupee, 'Re' or 'Rs' is used
by India's neighbours Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka as well.
It would take about six months in India and about two years to make it
recognized internationally. All new notes will now bear the symbol
of countries whose currencies have an unique identity. The Cabinet on

Natural wonders: Blue hole
Sink holes is a depression or hole in the surface of the earth. i.e. The surface can sink into a hole and this can happen suddenly.
sinkholes are common where the rock below the land surface can naturally be dissolved by circulating ground water. As the rock dissolves, spaces develop underground. These sinkholes are dramatic because the surface land stays intact until there is no support below which causes the land to sink. A sudden collapse of the land surface occurs.
A variant of this is the blue hole. This is a sink hole in water or sea. There are also called vertical caves. The dissolved oxygen levels in such holes are very low, hence doesnt support any life, however some forms of bacteria can survive.
Blue holes can be very spectacular if they are found in areas having coral reefs. Such blue holes can become tourist destinations. There are many different Blue Holes located around the world Belize, Bahamas, Red Sea etc.--

Why sanskrit is superior
In the English language the alphabets from A to Z are not arranged in any logical or rational manner. There is no reason why F is followed by G or why P is followed by Q, etc. The alphabets in English are all arranged haphazardly and at random. On the other hand, Panini in his first fourteen Sutras arranged alphabets in the Sanskrit language in a very scientific and logical manner, after close observation of the sounds in human speech.
Thus, for example the vowels, a, aa, i, ee, u, oo, ae, ai, o, ou are arranged according to the shape of the mouth when these sounds are emitted, a and aa, are pronounced from the throat, i and ee from the palate, o and oo from the lips, etc. In the same way the consonants have been arranged in a sequence on a scientific pattern. The (ka) varga (i.e. ka, kha, ga, gha, nga) are emitted from the throat, the (cha) varga from the palate, the ( ta ) varga from the roof of the mouth, the (ta ) varga from the teeth, and the (pa ) varga from the lips.
No language in the world has its alphabets arranged in such a rational and systematic manner. And when we see how deeply our ancestors went in the seemingly simple matter of arranging the alphabets we can realize how deeply they went in more advanced matters.

Now if you are wondering how that would make a difference then can you think of writing a word in Sanskrit which you cannot pronounce?
