Deccan Chargers unbeaten start ended by Delhi Daredevils
Delhi Daredevils ended the Deccan Chargers unbeaten start and the Chennai Super Kings stayed in semifinals contention for the Indian Premier League on Thursday.
Tillakaratne Dilshan starred in the six-wicket win over the Deccan Chargers, scoring an unbeaten 52 as Delhi reached 150-4 in response to Deccan's 148-9.
In the second match at Centurion, Suresh Raina racked 98 while Lakshmipathy Balaji took 4-21 to lead the Chennai Super Kings to a 38-run win over Rajasthan Royals.
Deccan remained atop the standings but on run rate from Delhi, Kings XI Punjab was two points behind on 6, and Mumbai Indians edged Chennai and Rajasthan for fourth on run rate.In the first match, Australian left-arm fast bowler Dirk Nannes used deceptive pace to take 2-16 and remove openers Adam Gilchrist and Herschelle Gibbs inside the first three overs to leave Deccan reeling on 2-19. They never recovered from the setback, although Dwayne Smith's 48 off 28 balls pushed their total to respect.
In reply, Delhi started well, with Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir putting on 30 for the first wicket. Dilshan and Dinesh Karthik (41 off 30 balls) then tallied 72 off 66 balls for the fourth wicket in a match-winning partnership.
Deccan captain Adam Gilchrist said conditions in South Africa have made it possible for pace bowlers to enjoy Twenty20 success.
"The ball is playing a greater part here than last year in the subcontinent," he said. "The conditions here in South Africa give pace bowlers a chance. It encourages batsmen to bat smarter. It's a good challenge for us (batsmen) in these conditions."
In the second match, Delhi Daredevils amassed 164-5, guided by Raina, who was dismissed in the final over after hitting 10 boundaries and five sixes. He thought he'd notched the tournament's second century but it was an error on the scoreboard.

Al-Qaeda leader Yazid warns India of more Mumbai-style attacks
London, Feb 10 (PTI) A top al-Qaeda commander, who was reported killed in a US drone strike last year, has appeared in a video warning India of more Mumbai-style terror attacks if it tried to attack Pakistan.
"India should know that it will have to pay a heavy price if it attacks Pakistan," Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, believed to be al-Qaeda's military commander in Afghanistan and ranked behind No 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri, said in a 20-minute video in Arabic received by BBC.
Yazid, who the Pakistani military said may have been killed in fighting last August in the Bajaur tribal region, said: "The Mujahideen will sunder your armies into the ground, like they did to the Russians in Afghanistan.
"They will target your economic centres and raze them to the ground." Yazid denounced the ban on militant groups in Pakistan following the Mumbai attacks and asked the people of Pakistan to rise up and overthrow the government and President Asif Ali Zardari, the BBC reported.
The al-Qaeda leader is said to have been involved in a number of terror attacks, including last year's Danish Embassy bombings, in Pakistan and had claimed the responsibility of assassinating former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

Satyam Comp likely to take legal action against World Bank
Satyam Comp likely to take legal action against World Bank New Delhi, Dec 25 (PTI) Satyam Computer is likely to take legal action against the World Bank in the face of the lender's refusal to withdraw its (the Bank's) statement that made public the decision to ban the IT major for eight years from doing business with it.
Asked about the World Bank spokesperson's refusal to either apologise or withdraw the statement, a Satyam spokesperson told PTI from Hyderabad, "We are considering all options at our disposal." Crisis-ridden Satyam Computer Thursday asked the World Bank to apologise and withdraw its statement that made public the eight-year ban on the IT major for its alleged improper business practices, but the bank rejected the demand.
Satyam, which courted controversy for its decision to buy Maytas Properties and Maytas Infra and then giving up the idea, said the World Bank's statement on December 23 had caused it enough 'harm', and sought an apology for it.
However, the India spokesperson of the World Bank, Sudip Mozumder, told PTI that "the Bank stands by its statement issued on its Indian website on December 23".
The World Bank statement on December 23 said "Satyam was declared ineligible for contracts for providing improper benefits to (the) Bank staff and for failing to maintain documentation to support fees charges for its sub-contractors." Asked if the Bank would apologise, as demanded by Satyam, Mozumder said any comment, if at all, has to come from headquarters in Washington but the Bank stands by its statement.
However, Satyam Computer said in its statement that it would evaluate all options in view of both the Bank's "inappropriate" public statements and its response to the IT firm's requests.
The issue will now come up for discussion at the December 29 Board meeting of Satyam Computer. PTI

Eleven of the top 15 Best information technology(IT) companies
Eleven of the top 15 Best Companies to Work for in India are information technology companies, according to a joint study conducted by Mercer and Business Today.Global software giant Microsoft pipped domestic IT giant Infosys, which slipped the ranks, to emerge as the best company to work for in India. Two companies -- domestic IT major Satyam and global banking giant HSBC -- have moved out of the list this year.
Although high levels of remuneration and open communication were cited as key drivers of engagement by surveyed employees, interesting work, 'challenging' targets and growth and development opportunities emerged as the key differentiators between the best employers and other participating companies.
The best employers in India have invested in world-class HR processes and policies and seem to have a clear understanding of employee aspirations. Leadership development, internal transfers, global opportunities, mentoring, two-way communication and reward systems has emerged as a common thread in the top 15 companies.

This year Foreign investors have bought some $16.7 billion in Indian shares
On Thursday evening, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, or SEBI, completed rules governing foreign participation in this fast-growing market, giving clarity to a closely watched situation that has disrupted the exchanges.
The board reiterated some hard-line proposals first floated last week, which caused the Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex index to decline more than 9 percent the next day, and hinted at further oversight. “This is not the last set of decisions that you would see regarding foreign investment in India,” the SEBI chairman, M. Damodaran, said in a news conference in Mumbai.
Foreign investors have bought some $16.7 billion in Indian shares this year, according to Bloomberg, 43 percent of that since the Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark interest rate on Sept. 18.
Foreign investors who have not registered with Indian regulators, a sometimes cumbersome process, can no longer use popular financial instruments known as participatory notes to invest in the market, Mr. Damodaran said on Thursday.
In essence, the move eliminates anonymous investors from the market, which could drive out short-term, speculative cash coming from hedge funds and banks. About half of all foreign investment in India’s stock markets is in the form of participatory notes. There was $89.8 billion in participatory notes outstanding in August, up from $8.1 billion in March 2004, SEBI reported on Oct. 16.
The board also said that entities that were not regulated in their home market could not use these notes, another potential blow to hedge funds, which often face little or no regulation. The regulator said investors using participatory notes based on derivatives would need to unwind their positions in 18 months. In addition, SEBI opened the markets slightly to possible long-term investors, saying that pension funds, endowments and university trusts could become registered foreign investors.
The rules go into effect Friday, Mr. Damodaran said.
Indian market regulators are facing what is becoming a common predicament in emerging markets: too much money. There is no perfect way to let the air out of a stock market bubble, say analysts and former regulators. Heavy-handed measures often drive too many investors away, while verbal warnings have little impact.
“There is no evidence I can think of where regulators have successfully intervened” to curb fast-growing stock markets, said Lynton Jones, a founder of Bourse Consult, a London-based adviser to stock exchanges.
“The trouble with markets that are emerging or have just emerged is that the government seems to feel that it can control everything,” Mr. Jones said. In the West, most participants think “markets are markets and they have to sort themselves out.”
Some economists think the impact from SEBI’s hard-line stance will be short term.
“Unless you make controls really draconian, they won’t have any lasting effect,” said Willem H. Buiter, a professor at the London School of Economics and an adviser to Goldman Sachs. “When people believe there is money to be made, they’ll find a way around them.”
When Thai regulators introduced new capital controls in December, the stock market plunged 15 percent the next day, its largest drop in about a decade. Regulators were hoping to cool appreciation of the baht and the stock market by forcing foreign investors to put 30 percent of all incoming investment cash into reserve accounts that earned no interest.
After the market drop, regulators quickly altered their rule, omitting stock market investments.
Chinese regulators have raised interest rates four times this year, hoping to slow appreciation in the country’s stock market, with little effect.
“Can you manage a market? Not really,” said Thomas Krantz, the secretary general of the World Federation of Exchanges, a trade group for financial markets based in Paris. “The market is a force in its own right. You can only do your best to make clear rules, say what you want and why you are doing it.”

The board reiterated some hard-line proposals first floated last week, which caused the Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex index to decline more than 9 percent the next day, and hinted at further oversight. “This is not the last set of decisions that you would see regarding foreign investment in India,” the SEBI chairman, M. Damodaran, said in a news conference in Mumbai.
Foreign investors have bought some $16.7 billion in Indian shares this year, according to Bloomberg, 43 percent of that since the Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark interest rate on Sept. 18.
Foreign investors who have not registered with Indian regulators, a sometimes cumbersome process, can no longer use popular financial instruments known as participatory notes to invest in the market, Mr. Damodaran said on Thursday.
In essence, the move eliminates anonymous investors from the market, which could drive out short-term, speculative cash coming from hedge funds and banks. About half of all foreign investment in India’s stock markets is in the form of participatory notes. There was $89.8 billion in participatory notes outstanding in August, up from $8.1 billion in March 2004, SEBI reported on Oct. 16.
The board also said that entities that were not regulated in their home market could not use these notes, another potential blow to hedge funds, which often face little or no regulation. The regulator said investors using participatory notes based on derivatives would need to unwind their positions in 18 months. In addition, SEBI opened the markets slightly to possible long-term investors, saying that pension funds, endowments and university trusts could become registered foreign investors.
The rules go into effect Friday, Mr. Damodaran said.
Indian market regulators are facing what is becoming a common predicament in emerging markets: too much money. There is no perfect way to let the air out of a stock market bubble, say analysts and former regulators. Heavy-handed measures often drive too many investors away, while verbal warnings have little impact.
“There is no evidence I can think of where regulators have successfully intervened” to curb fast-growing stock markets, said Lynton Jones, a founder of Bourse Consult, a London-based adviser to stock exchanges.
“The trouble with markets that are emerging or have just emerged is that the government seems to feel that it can control everything,” Mr. Jones said. In the West, most participants think “markets are markets and they have to sort themselves out.”
Some economists think the impact from SEBI’s hard-line stance will be short term.

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA - Inspiring Personality of India
**********SWAMI VIVEKANANDA***************
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA'S inspiring personality was well known both in India and in America during the last decade of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth. The unknown monk of India suddenly leapt into fame at the Parliament of Religions held in Chicago in 1893, at which he represented Hinduism. His vast knowledge of Eastern and Western culture as well as his deep spiritual insight, fervid eloquence, brilliant conversation, broad human sympathy, colourful personality, and handsome figure made an irresistible appeal to the many types of Americans who came in contact with him. People who saw or heard Vivekananda even once still cherish his memory after a lapse of more than half a century.

In America Vivekananda's mission was the interpretation of India's spiritual culture, especially in its Vedantic setting. He also tried to enrich the religious consciousness of the Americans through the rational and humanistic teachings of the Vedanta philosophy. In America he became India's spiritual ambassador and pleaded eloquently for better understanding between India and the New World in order to create a healthy synthesis of East and West, of religion and science.
In his own motherland Vivekananda is regarded as the patriot saint of modern India and an inspirer of her dormant national consciousness, To the Hindus he preached the ideal of a strength-giving and man-making religion. Service to man as the visible manifestation of the Godhead was the special form of worship he advocated for the Indians, devoted as they were to the rituals and myths of their ancient faith. Many political leaders of India have publicly acknowledged their indebtedness to Swami Vivekananda.
The Swami's mission was both national and international. A lover of mankind, be strove to promote peace and human brotherhood on the spiritual foundation of the Vedantic Oneness of existence. A mystic of the highest order, Vivekananda had a direct and intuitive experience of Reality. He derived his ideas from that unfailing source of wisdom and often presented them in the soulstirring language of poetry.
The natural tendency of Vivekananda's mind, like that of his Master, Ramakrishna, was to soar above the world and forget itself in contemplation of the Absolute. But another part of his personality bled at the sight of human suffering in East and West alike. It might appear that his mind seldom found a point of rest in its oscillation between contemplation of God and service to man. Be that as it may, he chose, in obedience to a higher call, service to man as his mission on earth; and this choice has endeared him to people in the West, Americans in particular.

*****************************************************************
In the course of a short life of thirty-nine years (1863-1902), of which only ten were devoted to public activities-and those, too, in the midst of acute physical suffering-he left for posterity his four classics: Jnana-Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, Karma-Yoga, and Raja-Yoga, all of which are outstanding treatises on Hindu philosophy. In addition, he delivered innumerable lectures, wrote inspired letters in his own hand to his many friends and disciples, composed numerous poems, and acted as spiritual guide to the many seekers, who came to him for instruction. He also organized the Ramakrishna Order of monks, which is the most outstanding religious organization of modern India. It is devoted to the propagation of the Hindu spiritual culture not only in the Swami's native land, but also in America and in other parts of the world.
