They are desperately poor and her uncle persuades her to become a bar girl at Chandni Bar. Tabu won National Award for her role.

Sourav Ganguly : 

Sourav Ganguly played in three World Cups – 1999, 2003 and 2007, and led India to the final of the 2003 edition, hitting three centuries in the tournament, including a ton in the semifinal against Kenya. He scored heavily, particularly in the 1999 and 2003 editions, ending with 1006 runs across 22 matches at 55.88.

Best Performance? 183 against Sri Lanka, the defending champion, in a league match in 1999, which remains India’s highest individual score in a World Cup.

Virender Sehwag : 

Virender Sehwag played in World Cup matches like he did everywhere else – with a freedom few can match and an attack mode that sent viewers into raptures. He was part of the Indian side that reached the 2003 final and one of the key men when the title was won in 2011, including a breathtaking opening against Bangladesh and a furious assault in the semifinal against Pakistan.

Best Performance? 175 in the 2011 tournament opener against Bangladesh.

Sachin Tendulkar :  

Amongst the greatest batsmen in history, Sachin Tendulkar raised his game further on the biggest stage as an average of 56.95 across six World Cups from 1992 to 2011 suggests. The 2278 runs he made are far and away the most by an individual, and he was the event’s highest run-getter in 1996 and 2003, with a winner’s medal in 2011 to complete a cherished dream.

Best Performance? 98 off 75 against Pakistan in 2003 in a high-pressure league match.

Kumar Sangakkara (WK) : 

Classy and effortless, Kumar Sangakkara is nine runs away from becoming the third Sri Lankan with 1000 tournament runs before the start of the 2015 World Cup. With 46 dismissals behind the stumps in four editions, he is seven short of replacing Adam Gilchrist as the leading World Cup wicketkeeper. A team man through and through, he captained Sri Lanka to the 2011 World Cup final.

Best performance? A match-winning 111 against New Zealand in 2011.

Yuvraj Singh :  

Seldom does a cricketer become synonymous with a World Cup, but that’s what happened with Yuvraj Singh in 2011, when India won the title on home ground. Yuvraj emerged as the man for all seasons for India, scoring four half-centuries, a century and picking up 15 wickets, including two each in the semi-final and final.

Best Performance? 2/44 & 57* v Australia in the 2011 quarter-final that ended the three-time defending champion’s reign.

Shahid Afridi : 

Shahid Afridi’s international arrival with a world-record 37-ball century earned him the monker ‘boom boom’, but he’s proved to be equally devastating with the ball. He has played 20 matches over four World Cups, scoring 209 runs and taking 28 wickets – 21 of which came from eight matches in 2011 alone, at an average of 12.85, to be the joint highest wicket-taker that year.

Best performance? 4/30 in Pakistan’s ten-wicket victory against the West Indies in the 2011 quarterfinal.

Steve Waugh (C):  

Batsman, medium pacer, captain extraordinaire and master of the mental game – Steve Waugh was an all-rounder in more ways than one. Waugh played four World Cups, winning in 1987 and 1999, the last one as captain.

 Best Performance? 120* v South Africa in 1999, Waugh’s highest ODI score and an innings of far-reaching consequence because it meant that thanks to victory in the league match, Australia went through to the final after a tied semifinal against South Africa.

Anil Kumble : 

Anil Kumble is a regular in the record books, especially in Tests, where he went on to captain his country, but the leg-spinner was as effective for India in ODIs. At his peak in 1996, when he played the first of his 18 World Cup matches across three editions, he was the leading wicket-taker of the tournament, and the man India turned to at nearly every major moment.

Best Performance? 4 for 32 against the Netherlands in 2003.

Lasith Malinga :  

Bouncers and yorkers, both with slow and fast variations, all sent across with an action that led to the man being referred to as Slinga Malinga – that’s the Sri Lankan paceman in a nutshell. Malinga averaged 17.87 with 31 wickets in 15 games over two World Cups – with Sri Lanka finishing runners-up in both 2007 and 2011.

Best Performance? 4 for 54 against South Africa in 2007 in which, incredibly enough, all four scalps came off four consecutive balls.

Brett Lee : 

In the 2003 World Cup, Brett Lee became the first Australian and fourth bowler to take a World Cup hat-trick. He also crossed the 160 kph mark twice in the tournament. He’s been part of two World Cups – 2003 and 2011, missing out in 2007 due to injury – and picked up 35 wickets in 17 games at 17.97. In 2011, he picked up the most wickets for Australia.

Best Performance?  5 for 42 vs New Zealand in 2003.

Glenn McGrath :  

One of the greatest fast bowlers of all time, Glenn McGrath’s calling card wasn’t glamorous – strict line and length – but he was devastating, and made a habit of getting the big wickets. Over four World Cups, he took 71 wickets in 39 matches, the most anyone has. He battled injuries, but he returned with a record 26 wickets in 2007, and was adjudged Man of the Tournament.

 Best Performance? 7 for 15 against a hapless Namibia in 2003.

“My servers run on Linux. My team knows how to manage Linux  servers and networks. It just makes sense for my switches to run on  Linux too.”

What most people don’t know is that many high-end network switches already run on Linux.
Switches from Cisco®, Extreme Networks® and Arista®  use Linux to run their switch hardware (the operating system is hidden  behind abstractions and APIs). As well, most of these share the same  switching silicon products from Broadcom® and Intel®.
We are in the midst of a major transformation in networking. Innovation from companies like Cumulus Networks® and Edge-Core® are leading the way, disrupting the way new networks are deployed and old networks are upgraded.
In my role as head of product engineering at Tuangru,  almost every small-to-mid size hosting service provider I talk to is  considering open networking. Why? Because it just makes sense.
Open network hardware is more affordable and easy to acquire. The  Linux software is familiar and, in most cases, admins prefer it over the  next CLI and syntax versions available.
The rise of DevOps and cloud technologies like OpenStack are driving  higher levels of automation and uniformity. Servers and switches have  become less discernible–servers are hosting virtual network fabrics and  switches are behaving like servers. As well, the reference designs are  there, and are proven and hardened in the field.
Here are a few things to consider in deploying open networking technology:
Think big, start small.  Open network hardware is powerful and cutting edge. Linux is familiar to  most admins. However, you must plan your deployment in a measured and  deliberate way. Train your staff and familiarize yourself with the  capabilities of the hardware and software. I recommend to our clients to  start with one to two racks, and grow from there.
Current network topology vs. open networking. There  may be differences between your current network topology and what it  may look like when you move to open networking.  Communicate and  understand your desired outcomes from a technology, cost and business  perspective. This will help drive the right conversation to determine  the right solution for you.
32 Port 40GB switch is not a $250K router. Yes, it  is capable of BGP, OSPF routing and firewall functions, but it is  primarily a network switch. Appreciate the capabilities and limitations  of the hardware and proceed wisely.
Invest in training. You may have a team of Linux  rock stars, but don’t let that cloud your judgment. Your admins can  benefit from network training, while your network staff can benefit from  Linux training. Cumulus Networks offers valuable half-day training  sessions that can help increase the domain knowledge in open networking  amongst your staff.
Open networking has arrived. It is driving hardware innovation along  with new applications and services that meet the needs of hosting  service providers. Price, technology and performance–it’s all there.
Rami Jebara, SVP of Product Engineering, Tuangru
Rami oversees product engineering and software development at  Tuangru, a technology company that offers a smarter, faster and cheaper  way for service providers to procure data center hardware. Tuangru is an  official partner of Cumulus Networks.

OpenStack is a very popular open source technology stack used to  build private and public cloud computing platforms. It powers clouds for  thousands of companies like Yahoo!, Dreamhost, Rackspace, eBay, and  many more.

Why drives its popularity? Being open source, it puts cloud builders  in charge of their own destiny, whether they choose to work with a  partner, or deploy it themselves. Because it is Linux based, it is  highly amenable to automation, whether you’re building out your network  or are running it in production. At build time, it’s great for  provisioning, installing and configuring the physical resources. In  production, it’s just as effective, since provisioning tenants, users,  VMs, virtual networks and storage is done via self-service Web  interfaces or automatable APIs. Finally, it’s always been designed to  run well on commodity servers, avoiding reliance on proprietary vendor  features.
Cumulus Linux fits naturally into an OpenStack cloud, because it  shares a similar design and philosophy. Built on open source, Cumulus  Linux is Linux, allowing common management, monitoring and  configuration on both servers and switches. The same automation and  provisioning tools that you commonly use for OpenStack servers you can  also use unmodified on Cumulus Linux switches, giving a single  pane of glass for automation and monitoring. And Cumulus Linux runs on a  wide variety of hardware from 5 different hardware manufacturers, so  you can utilize the same multi-vendor, commodity approach to procure  your network that you do for your server hardware.
The Cumulus Linux OpenStack Validated Solution Guide will show you  how to build OpenStack clouds ranging from a simple, single rack proof  of concept to a full, scalable data center cloud environment. Installing  and configuring both the network and the servers is fully automated;  once the servers and switches are racked and cabled, simply insert a USB  drive with the Cumulus Linux installer image into one of the switches,  and power on the cluster. The switches will install Cumulus Linux using ONIE,  then configure themselves using zero touch provisioning (ZTP). The  switches then PXE install Linux onto the servers, and use Puppet to  install and configure the various OpenStack components, such as Nova,  Nova-net, Glance, Cinder, Keystone and Horizon. In mere minutes after  powering on the cluster, you’ll be starting VMs on your new OpenStack  cloud!

One of the questions I’ve encountered in talking to our customers has  been “What environments are a good example of working on top of the  Layer-3 Clos design?”  Most engineers are familiar with the classic  Layer-2 based Core/Distribution/Access/Edge model for building a data  center.  And while that has served us well in the older client-server  north-south traffic flow approaches and in smaller deployments, modern  distributed applications stress the approach to its breaking point.   Since L2 designs normally need to be built around pairs of devices,  relying on individual platforms to carry 50% of your data center traffic  can present a risk at scale.  On top of this you have to have a long  list of protocols that can result in a brittle and operationally complex  environment as you deploy 10’s of devices.
Hence the rise of the L3 Clos approach allowing for combining many  small boxes, each carrying only a subset of your traffic, along with  running industry standard protocols that have a long history of  operational stability and troubleshooting ease.  And, while the approach  can be applied to many different problems, building a practical  implementation of a problem is the best way to show it to be true.  With  that in mind we recently setup a Hadoop cluster leading to a solution  validation guide we are publishing with our new release.
Big Data analytics is becoming increasingly common across businesses  of all sizes.  With the growth of genomic, geographic, social-graph,  search indexing and other large data sources, the ability for a single  computer to process across these sets in a reasonable time has  diminished.  Distributed processing models like Hadoop have become  increasingly the way to approach the data, breaking down the processing  into steps that can be distributed along with the data across the  compute nodes.
Many of the Hadoop solutions being published have been built around  assuming a high cost of the network, so they have focused on 1Gig  Ethernet attached servers, pressing the issues of locality to keep  traffic on the same ToR and optimizing keeping traffic off the network.   And while the speed of even 10Gig Ethernet can not keep up with locally  attached storage, being able to build a low-to-no oversubscription  network fabric at 10Gig and higher, in concert with most Big Data class  servers shipping with integrated 10Gig Ethernet on the motherboard  (LOM), the prices to accomplish this rival solutions built around 1Gig  Ethernet and remove your Big Data results from having to be so tied to  the locality of the data in your environment.
When it comes to building a network for Hadoop, we chose the  enterprise grade Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) driven by Hortonworks  as the platform to stand up and test for a new validated solution.   Hortonworks, being a major contributor to open source initiatives  (Apache Hadoop, HDFS, Pig, Hive, HBase, Zookeeper), has extensive  experience managing production level Hadoop clusters.  Given the open  nature of both Cumulus Linux and Hortonworks we were able to stand up  our environment quickly and validate the operations on the topology.  As  a follow-on to this project, by combining in the automation powers of  tools like Ansible, we will have a demo in Cumulus Workbench to show how  you can automate, both on the network and server, the environment and  to deploy using a single tool.  Keep your eyes out for it.

We talk about ‘inclusive growth’, ‘Subka Saath Sabka Vikas’ and all those stuffs which seems ideal to us. But what about the feasibility of these terms … or what will happen if state of “economic equality” is achieved actually.
I talked with some people and asked them a question “What will happen when everyone becomes economically equal” and actually raised a whole wide discussion out of it with some very good points which I’m going to put here.

Sandeep “then no meaning of growth”

 

Megha  “We will be more happy as well as healthier ” .

 

Akshar Talwar ” If there is equality of Income then there is no Investment “

 

Ankit Mathur “Lack of equality maintains the balance…. no senior junior mean no rules and regulations”

 

Note : for being senior junior economic inequality is not required.

 

Shubham Man “If so happens there will be decrease in urge to achieve something which otherwise helps individual to work hard and lead to both mental, economic and social growth….moreover people will loose the competitive side and it will be a reat  hinderence to the economy as a whole”

 

Arpan Suyal “there will be no man power for work …. because everyone is economically equal “

 

Sakshi Gupta ” Whole economy will collapse”.

 

The points raised by the people are strong ….. in economic terms if there is economic inequality, then in this contemporary world more likely there will be no investment as Akshar said, and if the people have same income then growth rate will come down substantially as we can see in case of many developed countries ( though they have economic inequality but most of people have reached to some standard level of satisfaction), above it is very rightly said by Arpan that, no one will work for some other person in case of economic equality ….. so economic inequality should be there but, the gap should not be very high …… comparison should be justifiable. Comparison between a billionaire and a beggar is senseless, as later lack even the basic necessities of life and a billionaire has extra money which can be used to give poor a settled life. The physiological needs of every person must be satisfied because everyone deserves it.

Dear Santa,
I would first like to say how much I admire you for holding your own  and not giving in to the 4,00,000 diets that are flooding the market and  for not trying liposuction or indulging in the current trend, bariatric  surgery. You are truly a mascot for 'Big is Beautiful '.
I would also like to thank you for demonstrating to the world that  overweight people can be healthy as is evident from your sliding down  chimneys and lugging heavy bags filled with toys.
So Chubby-Cheeks, now that I have flattered you a bit, could you please  glance at my list and try to fulfill most if not all my wishes?
What I would like for Christmas:
1. I want a remote control that does not alter the volume of my TV but  only the volume of the anchor especially at lines like 'The nation wants  to know'. These days, the only thing the nation wants to know is what  they have to do in order to stop going deaf.
2. I want to watch movies where the actress's lips don't keep changing  sizes in the middle of scenes. It is rather distracting and takes away  from the plot of the movie and my brain sort of freezes at that point.
3. I want a cure for a dear friend who I have nicknamed the  Neo-Buddhist: The waiter will drop a glass of red wine on her dress and  she won't lift an eyebrow. I make a funny dig about another society  doyen and she won't crack a smile. I used to marvel at her Zen-like  composure, but when I looked closely I realised that she has, in fact,  not embraced Buddhism but has definitely embraced Botox. She isn't  moving these muscles because she truly cannot. I was wondering if you  could unfreeze her or something...
4. I want Jayalalithaa's cape. I would have asked you for Superman's,  but I like the whole using our national resources bit and Jaya aunty  also seems to take that very strongly to her heart.
5. I want the brooms used in the Swachh Bharat photo-ops. They are in  such good condition; never been used before nor used after the last  photographer slinks away.
6. Can I get taller heroes to watch on the silver screen? I know it's  make-believe and all, but a five-foot man jumping 12 feet in the air and  kicking a six-foot villain is just slightly less believable than a  six-foot man just lifting his foot three feet from the ground to kick a  five-foot villain. Get the math?
7. That's what I want for the nation and for poor ol' me? I want to be 5  kgs lighter, 3 inches taller, 4.5 years younger and if you can throw in  a few more candle orders for my company, it would be great.
Hmm..Can I also request you to change your logo from 'the Christmas tree ' to my brand 'The Faraway Tree'? You know the saying, 'a rose by  any other name...'. I am sure that works for trees as well.
Oh yes! I almost forgot. World peace would also be quite nice. I  know it's terribly difficult and even God hasn't been able to pull that  one off, but I have faith in you Chubby-Cheeks, since you are the only  mystical, magical being that has no agenda except to bring cheer to the  world. You don't tell people to eat cows or pigs or not. You don't tell  people to convert or be converted and you don't tell people that killing  in the name of faith is not totally unacceptable.
So, I have put out some milk and cookies and now I am going to bed. Do  come and sprinkle your magic of peace and happiness. God knows, we need  some desperately...
XOXO,
A middle-aged girl
