The India blogging industry is still nascent with many still trying to reach a large audience. Unfortunately, India has been slow to adopt the internet with some estimates as low as 42,000,000 for both dial up and broadband.

iami-based Bacardi USA Inc. launched Grand Melón in April, the seventh spirit in its flavored rum line. The fresh watermelon-flavored rum is designed for mixability but I question why one wants to mix watermelon + Rum + another additive. Isn’t Watermelon and Rum enough?

A fun and fruity rum that will make you want to swing from the trees. Great with any tropical mixer. Banana rum tastes like rum made from bananas, or at least rum with natural banana flavors. 99 Bananas tastes like strong alcohol with melted-down banana runts. I refer to the flavor, not the sweetness. In fact it tastes like the syrup that canned pineapple comes packed in. I would definitely recommend it as it has a real natural flavor.
The undeniably tropical flavor of mangoes mixes with 267 Rum Infusions. Add pineapple juice and Amaretto for a fabulous Mai-Tai. You can't taste the alcohol at all. It is less sweet than other Mango rums, but has a little bite to it. This has a very authentic flavor. Plus, it has fruit in the bottle, so that must mean it is good for you! This tastes like I just cut a fresh mango with an equally excellent flavor.

Ciclon is a smooth premium gold rum from Barcardi, infused with a touch of blue agave tequila and a twist of natural lime flavor. The best of both worlds, smooth mixable Caribbean rum, spiked with the edge of fine Mexican Tequila. A combination Rum and Tequila that has ranked really high in taste tests. It has a smooth first taste that offers a tart touch of lime with dry, herbal undertones. I know, rum is a sweetheart’s drink usually reserved for fruity, sugary concoctions but here you get the tequila thrown in. 
roduced by Kahlúa, Kuya is made from a blend of rich, golden rums that are infused with natural citrus flavor extracts and an array of island spices. As it states on the label, it is best described as a fusion between the classic spiced rum and the new breed of fruit flavored rum. The result is phenomenal. Kuya Fusion Rum has a captivating bouquet of citron, grapefruit and vanilla tinged with cloves and spice. After the first sniff you’ll know good things are coming your way. It has a featherweight, seamlessly textured body that delivers a citrus and spicy vanilla palate, flavors that linger for an impressively long time.

sign of an emerging and growing economy is the increase in litigation. You might believe this to be a bad sign but I dispute that belief because a healthy economic environment includes the presence of a fair legal system. I am not suggesting the India legal system is as fair as the UK or the US, but the simple fact that foreigners can file a lawsuit against an Indian company or individual is a good sign. If the Indian courts were as corrupt as some suggest, the cases would be thrown out of the legal system as soon as they were filed. The fact that they are not, suggests to foreigners that they have a fair chance of being heard and thus will feel more comfortable investing in India.

It’s a plot that Ian Fleming didn’t script. But it has got his creation, the world’s numero uno spy with guns, gals and gizmos, James Bond 007, all shaken and stirred. Only in this case, Bond is out to squash the challenge of not some nuke-wielding terrorist but an ad for a sweet-coated chocolate candy from Cadbury India.

This lawsuit should be of interest to anyone of Indian descent working for an Indian company overseas. The complaint, brought in Federal court in San Francisco by Gopi Vedachalam, an employee of Tata America International Corporation, alleges Tata unjustly enriched itself by requiring all of its non-U.S.-citizen employees to endorse and sign over their federal and state tax refund checks to Tata. The complaint alleges further that, at least until July 2005, Tata required its non-U.S.-citizen employees to sign power of attorney agreements delegating an outside agency to calculate and submit each employee's tax return to state and federal authorities.
