It was merriment all the way

Bottlenecks and traffic jams at Pinjore and Kalka, however, forced more than a few to take a u-turn. Hotels and restaurants The celebrations were nothing less than global in the hotels with Russian pole dancers and reed-thin celebes of the fashion world making the party-goers dance to their tunes. At the terrace hall of the Taj, it was nothing less than the Oscars night. As the partying crowd left behind their vehicles at the, lens men on either side of the red carpet tried to capture memories for them even as the bouncers made faux attempts to keep them away. Inside the hall, it was pulsating music DJ Loch. In the grand ballroom, it was cutting the rug with Latino dancers.
Brown Defends Northern Rock Talks
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown rejected accusations Sunday that his government was using taxpayer funds to make the sale of mortgage lender Northern Rock PLC more palatable for a private buyer. Brown also dismissed suggestions that Richard Branson, whose Virgin Group is Northern Rock's preferred bidder, had gained an unfair advantage because of his presence in a delegation of business leaders that is traveling with Brown in China and India. "I can reassure people entirely that any negotiations about Northern Rock will be taking place in London," Brown told reporters on Sunday. Northern Rock ran into trouble in September when short-term money markets dried up following the collapse of the U.S. subprime mortgage market. Heavily reliant on funding from those markets, Northern Rock approached the Bank of England for an emergency loan.
Beating Federer, Djokovic Has Look of a Champion
Federer had reached a record 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals. He had won the past two Australian Opens and has won 12 major singles titles over all, two short of Pete Sampras's record. He also had won five of six matches against Djokovic, beating him in straight sets in the final of last year's United States Open, a missed opportunity for Djokovic, who often looked edgy and squandered set points in bunches. But young tennis players with extraordinary gifts have a way of maturing quickly, and with the pressure mounting Friday night, Djokovic held admirably firm in the final two sets, particularly in his own service games. "An indescribable feeling to beat No. 1 in the world, probably one of the best players this sport has ever had," the third-seeded Djokovic told the crowd.

Hoddle rules himself out of Saints running
GLENN Hoddle has ruled himself out of the running to become the new Southampton manager. The former England boss, who was in charge of Saints from January 2000 until March 2001, had been linked with a possible return to the club. However, the 50-year-old last night declared he would not be putting his name forward, due to his new academy project in Spain. "At the moment I am right in the middle of getting my academy up and running in Spain," he said. "While I am flattered to be linked to a return to Southampton, it isn't right for me now.

Panel sees cartel in PSU banks
NEW DELHI: Competition Commission of India (CCI) has raised questions over all public sector banks raising and cutting interest rate at the same time. The simultaneous movement in rates, the competition watchdog suspects could be cartelisation. CCI — which is a toothless body at present with no penal powers and its role confined to advocacy — has written to RBI saying this upsets market dynamics and could be affecting the interests of ordinary consumers.
Banking is the latest sector which has come under CCI's lens with the commission, whose fate was till recently uncertain, having raised similar questions over the shipping and tyre sectors, prompting corporate affairs minister PC Gupta to suggest an enquiry.
Bankers, however, did not take the CCI's letter too seriously, pointing out that almost all interest rate movements were guided by RBI's monteary policy stance and the liquidity conditions prevailing in the market.
