Please note that on 30 November 2011, public sector workers, including transport, customs and immigration officials, have called for a 24-hour strike in the United Kingdom (UK).

  • There can be significant delays to arriving and departing flights. In some cases there might be a possibility of short-notice diversions.
  • Numerous airlines are offering free flight rescheduling for passengers who are due to travel to or from the UK on 30 November 2011.

Movie Dam 999 Release Date November 25, 2011

UPDATE: DAM 999 is just a hyped movie. Reviews say that the story is good but other things are poor

DAM999 is an emotional thriller. It is inspired by many real life incidents.

The story revolves around the central edifice in this movie, a 100-year-old dam built by the British during their colonial days in India. Like a dam, each character in this movie holds back their emotions for various reasons. Eventually the dam breaks along with that of its characters, drawing the audience to a gripping climax. The number 999 has great importance in British Colonial Indian history. The story reveals the concealed truth of India's age-old myths and science.

A mariner desperate to save his sister from evil;
Two not-so-young lovers challenging destiny in a bid to unite;
A woman on a mission to win her family back;
A little boy battling a deadly disease;
A devoted wife wants to be with her husband even in death;
And the astrologer who has foreseen their ominous fate - Nine lives entwined by the impending disaster.

Chart of the day KingFisher Airlines:: ഇന്ത്യക്കാരുടെ കിളി പോയി തുടങ്ങി

UPDATE Oct 21 2012 : The flying licence of India's Kingfisher Airlines was suspended after the debt-laden carrier failed to satisfy the aviation regulator's concerns about its operations, an official said.

UPDATE Oct 12 2012: This original post was made on November 12, 2011. Today the breaking news on Vijay Mallya is that he is getting court warrants.
I think the trick is to write-off the debt so that some foreign firms will buy this company. The drama should happen before that and the drama started.
