Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

.. a line from the 1939 film Gone With The Wind starring Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh.
This quotation was voted the number one movie line of all time by the American Film Institute 2005.
Prior to the film's release, censors objected to the use of the word "damn" in the film, a word that had been prohibited by the 1930 Motion Picture Association's Production Code that began to be enforced in July 1934. However, before 1930 the word "damn" had been relatively common in films. Although legend persists that the Hays Office fined producer David O. Selznick $5,000 for using the word "damn," in fact the MPA board passed an amendment to the Production Code on November 1, 1939, a month and a half before the film's release, that forbade use of the words "hell" or "damn" except when their use "shall be essential and required for portrayal, in proper historical context, of any scene or dialogue based upon historical fact or folklore … or a quotation from a literary work, provided that no such use shall be permitted which is intrinsically objectionable or offends good taste." With that amendment, the Production Code Administration had no further objection to Rhett's closing line.

It is actually the second use of "damn" in the film. The term "damn Yankees" is heard in the parlor scene at Twelve Oaks.

The Bandra Worli Sea Link.

From a mumbaikar's point of view--(in the sequence he told us)
Its almost 6.7 km long stretch and takes 6-7 mins to cover.
It is a suspension bridge designed by an architect.
It was planned for Bandra-Worli-HajiAli-Nariman Point, but right now.. it is only functional for the Bandra worli route.
The initial vision for this link came in the 1960 but the actual work started around 10 years back.
There were agitations by the fishermen against this link.
The planning was done for 8 lanes.. only 4 are functional as of now.
The one way cost is Rs. 50 and the two way cost is Rs. 75.

8010486210

Wondering what this is???? This can be your mobile number in near future.


For over 15 years, India has been using mobile numbers starting with '9xxxxxxxx'. Pioneering the paradigm shift, Reliance Mobile is rolling out its new GSM mobile '8010xxxxxx' number series.. This makes Reliance Mobile India's first GSM operator to roll-out the new mobile number series starting with “8”.

Difference between Inflation (CPI) and Inflation(WPI)


India is the only major country that uses a wholesale index to measure inflation. Most countries use the CPI as a measure of inflation, as this actually measures the increase in price that a consumer will ultimately have to pay for.


Inflation(WPI) is the inflation calculated according to the wholesale price index.In India, a total of 435 commodities data on price level is tracked through WPI which is an indicator of movement in prices of commodities in all trade and transactions. It is also the price index which is available on a weekly basis with the shortest possible time lag only two weeks.
Inflation(CPI) is the inflation calculated according to the consumer price index.CPI is a fixed quantity price index and considered by some a cost of living index. Under CPI, an index is scaled so that it is equal to 100 at a chosen point in time, so that all other values of the index are a percentage relative to this one.
  
Recently, the variation between WPI and CPI Indian Inflation is primarily on account of the high weightage given to food items in consumer price indices.The weightage given to WPI is 16% while that given to CPI is over 60% and thus the variation.
