Problem with Dual Sim Mobile Phones in India

From the past year there has been a huge rise in the sale of the Dual SIM Mobile phones in India which is randing in around 1,00,000 Dual-sim handsets sold every month but now there is a stop on this and you cannot even guess the reason for this. Somasundaram Ramkumar who is a Madurai resident holds a patent for ‘Phones with Plurality of SIM Cards’ which means that whenever someone sells a handset with Dual-SIM facility, they need to pay RamKumar a royalty of Rs35 and this Patent is valid for 5 long years. This Patent can help him become quick rich because the popularity of these handsets is increasing and all the importers and manufacturers have to pay Rs35 before they sell the handset to the consumers.

Sangakkara leads Sri Lanka to a win over NZ

Mumbai: Sri Lanka crushed New Zealand by 112 runs on Friday to finish their World Cup Group A campaign with a flourish.

Skipper Kumar Sangakkara scored his first World Cup century to help Sri Lanka recover from the early loss of both openers and reach 265-9, then his bowlers proved far too strong for New Zealand.

Muttiah Muralitharan ignored an apparent hamstring injury to take 4-25 as the tournament co-hosts dismissed New Zealand for 153 to record their first win over a test-ranked team at the tournament.

Sri Lanka will finish second in Group A behind the winner of Saturday's match between defending champion Australia and Pakistan.

New Zealand, which also lost to Australia earlier in the group stage, can finish no better than third.

India can't win World Cup, Dhoni is dreaming: Dean Jones

Given their weak bowling and unimpressive fielding even the high quality batsmen cannot save India's World Cup campaign, feels former Australian batsman Dean Jones who says winning the coveted trophy will remain just a dream for Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men.

"The three main common denominators consistent with all World Cup champion teams are: Your top four batsmen must be of a high quality. They must have the technique to play the new ball, as well as have the power and stroke play during powerplays. Your top four bowlers must be of high quality, able to absorb pressure and bowl defensively in powerplays. If you can't field, don't bother turning up!" Jones said in his column for "The Age". "All this taken into account, I do not believe India will win the World Cup with its current form. Tell Dhoni, he's dreaming," wrote Jones in his article.
