Bahrain saw 2006 first formula1 race. Qualifying was disappointing for McLaren but still they could gain place at podium finishing third from 22nd position.
But Malaysia was unfortunate for McLarens.A little hit of Raikkonnen got him out of race.
I think Kimi surely need to work more to stand a chance this year. They have come with new V8 engines car and I am sure Australia will be fun packed.
Renault,you people are a tough competition this year surely with Alonso is form like last year and so his car and team. Their 2 pit strategy worked well.
Ferrari new car is surely doing good along with their luck.Schumi looks to have made a comeback!!!

Telecom Infrastructure sharing for QoS
Finally TRAI has been successful to catch operators by their ears. Declining Quality of service has got operators together to share infrastructure. As compared to previously 30% sharing, operators will now share 70% of their infrasturcture. With existing infra, they will go for revenue sharing and new deployment will see operators chipping in investment.
This will enhance quality of coverage for the consumer and effects can be seen starting from next month in April. There are few areas which out of coverage and they also can't help with it. This step will be starting first in Delhi and Mumbai to further implement in other cities.
Infrastructure sharing is an agreement among operators wherein they share network of each other thus increasing coverage and signal strength. This reduces cost and enhances the reach of coverage. This is a positive step for making consumer as the king. India is world's fastest growing market at 39% in Q4 2005 and has seen lowest tariff with an average ARPU of $10.China is also growing market but has better quality coverage.
With last mile being a challenge and focus shifting to B and C circles,infra sharing is only left option if operators want to avoid extra cost and thus increase their EBITDA.This comes with reduced OpEx.With population in village in low, infra sharing has been proposed there too for increasing the reach.

My experience at Andamans
Catching early morning flight from Chennai was rush for me. Though I was lucky to catch it on time. I was very excited for this journey but my half sleep forced me to take a small nap.
At 7.30 I woke up hearing people talking about some beautiful views....moment I saw from window. my eyes got glued to the scene. One can see beaches and sea from top with thick covered forests.
I wish I could have clicked snaps but my cell was switched off. My first impression was very positive when I came out from plane and the runaway running straight towards sea.
We were attended by personnel from megapode nest which is best of places to stay at andamans. The drive took us 10 mins through curved roads. The morning has just begun at Andamans. Finally I landed up at Megapode and finally to 3 star Room. Sound of siren took me to the garden at back and I saw a Ship moving towards the land. I was told that the port is nearby and that one can see ships passing by very close.
My father's friend were courteous to attend us and took us in his santro, I came to know that people there have to pay 25K extra for the new car freight. But they are exempted from sales tax on all the items...education is free till 12th and they have a quota for admission to professional courses across mainland (thats what they call India)
Kala Pani...I was wondering for long time when we stopped in front of a national memorial. This is famous old Kala Pani...or the cellular jail. It is one more of Britshers excellent construction, on an island when and where finding resource was a difficult task. The light and sound show takes you around the history of the islands back t British times. Very well made and preserved memorial, it gives the idea the pain, which our great heroes and freedom fighter took.
Next day was for Coral islands...scuba diving was something which was defn very exciting. Going undersea was an amazing experience and seeing sea life live along with corals. Spend time eating lovely seafood and was damn tasty. Nearby Lighthouse caught our attention and I made it to top to get whole view of the island.
Havelock Island was our next day trip. Went on a 500 seater Ship and being first time, very exciting. I was there either on the top or the nose of the ship to feel sea breeze and water around for 4 hours. Resorts there are an experience and Man!! I saw crystal clear water and green beach for first time...The water was eye-catching with shaded of blue and green. We cud walk down 500 meters down the sea which was shallow till our knee height. With cool water pushing you around.
Spend evening at another beach, which had good waves to float around. Spent night there and pushed back for port Blair the next morning. Evening was enjoyed at our uncle’s house with tasty homely dinner.
The local market is small and there is nothing which 1 can buy or carry back (Mind you, taking corals from the island is illegal) 4th day morning, boarded flight for Chennai and afternoon when I landed at Chennai the lovely memories of that beautiful and quite islands still cherished my memories.
The place is highly recommended for all. a MUST visit and good for honeymoon couples where they can defn spent quality time with each other.
