Apparently China is planning to force rain ahead of Olympics so that they can bring sunshine to the opening ceremony. How I wish they make it easier to afford so we can use it in June here...
From a news article(Link): Chance of showers during the 2008 Beijing Olympics: 50 percent. But Chinese meteorologists have a plan to bring sunshine.
The meteorologists say they can force rain in the days before the Olympics, through a process known as cloud-seeding, to clean the air and ensure clear skies. China has been tinkering with artificial rainmaking for decades, but whether it works is a matter of debate among scientists.

Fun ideas for a rainy/gloomy day
So I was thinking what I can do on a gloomy weekend day...
There are couple things like hanging out with friends, doing sketching...
Wondering what else we can do with a group...
Any ideas???

Three little words :)
Funny quote for today's 70's show:
Fez to Kelso: Kelso, why don't you tell Jackie where you go. That way she can find you when she wants to do it.
Kelso to Fez: Fez, the foundation of a good relationship is three little words: I don't know.
What're you doing? I don't know.
What're you thinking about? I don't know.
Who's that under you? I don't know.
It's bulletproof man.

Corrupt state of Indian legal system...
An article forwarded by a friend...
Kulkarni, the only remaining witness in the infamous BMW case catches both prosecution and defense lawyers on camera colluding to buy off the witness.
We know it always happens, but when you actually see it, it's even more depressing. The accused, Sanjeev Nanda is the son of a rich arms dealer, who 8 years back, ran over 8 people and killed them driving his BMW.
The video of the expose is on NDTV.

Indian airliners campaign war
Apparently the hoardings were put up within days of each other- starting with the jet airways hoarding (at the bottom), followed by Kingfisher air hoarding (middle) and finally Go Air following the suite (top) :)

Some things never change
There were plenty of very nice ads that I saw in India- ranging from LIC to AIG, and from RIN soap to Surf Excel, from thums up to pepsi gold. I just wish somebody will put them up soon on YouTube...
India exited very early from world cup but the faith in the team did not disapper completey yet. Couple of ads showcasing that:
