Sports: Mohun Bagan beat East Bengal 2-1


Mohun Bagan beat East Bengal 2-1. It’s going to be a “Prawn-day” in the kitchens of all those Mohun Bagan fans. The stadium was tightly packed with a crowd of 70,000 football lovers. The coaches of both the teams could be seen tensed and on the edge of the field throughout the match. It goes absolutely without saying that those 90 minutes between Mohun Bagan and East Bengal were completely “action-packed”. The commentator could be heard many times saying, “it’s football not boxing”...The match saw 5 yellow cards- two for Mohun Bagan and 3 for the East Bengal club. It was for almost 8 times that the field witnessed a stretcher for the injured players.

LetsDiscuss: Apple releases iPhone 2.0.1 OS through iTunes


recently purchased an iPhone 3G, or upgraded your original iPhone to the iPhone 2.0 OS, you’ll probably already have logged in some serious time with the AppStore and all the new features (like improved web surfing) that make the iPhone 2.0 OS so much more usable than previous versions. You’re also likely well aware of the new iPhone OS’s tendency to bog down and lag every once in a while. Sure, it can get annoying, but what are you going to do?

News: Ahmedabad Blasts ‘Indian Mujahideen’ claims responsibility


In a 14-page manifesto e-mailed to the media minutes before Saturday’s serial bombings, an organisation calling itself the “Indian Mujahideen” has claimed responsibility for the Ahmedabad attacks. Titled “The Rise of Jihad”, the manifesto says the bombings were carried out to avenge the 2002 anti-Muslim violence in Gujarat. “In the light of the injustice and wrongs on the Muslims of Gujarat,” it says, “we advance our jihad and call all our brethren under it to unite and answer these irresolute kafireen [infidels] of India.”
