Famous author Amitav Ghosh’s book, The Hungry Tide, on Sunderbans might have earned numerous accolades

Dr. Saugata Hazra of Oceanography Department, Jadavpur University told B&E, “The sea levels are likely to rise by 5 mm/year. As Bangladesh is a deeper centre of the delta, the land is subsiding more there, which means the coastal floods are more likely and the cyclone inundation is more.” Though government came up with the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) in 1992 it’s inadequate so far, as there are no guidelines. A National Water Policy was established in the year 1999 to get public & private participation in the utilisation of water resources. Recently, there was the National Environment Policy, National Conservation Strategy & the National Environment Management Action Plan, formulated by the government, but concrete steps need to be taken to save the nation. It’s a catch- 22, and best is to take decision now! The government of Bangladesh cannot wait for a miracle to happen.

... for HCL, if it won’t go green!

Look behind theHCL scenes and there’s more to it than meets the eye. Greenpeace, which is actually proving to be the ‘villain of peace’ for environment unfriendly technology companies, is taking HCL to task now. Greenpeace toxics campaigner Ramapati Kumar states, “The plan (by HCL for eco-friendly products) is not only shockingly inadequate, but also ignores the responsibility on their part to manufacture clean products.” He even calls HCL’s statement on RoHS compliance “specious & misleading”.

Shanghai Noon... or daymare?

Well, if you look at market share figures released by IDC India, ‘mayhem’ is not exactly the word. LenovoLenovo, in fact only did retain its third position with a market share of 9% for the client PC segment (desktops & notebooks in terms of shipments) in calendar year 2007, as was the case in 2006. Market leader HP, on the other hand, managed the growth ‘faster than the market’ benchmark well, as its market share grew from 18% to 21% for calendar year 2007. And in the all important notebook PC market as well (which is doubling year on year in India), Lenovo (market share of 17% at number 2 position) remains a far cry from the leader HP, which gobbled up a massive 38% share in 2006. And this is besides HP’s unrivalled dominance over the printer segment. With such a powerful adversary to contend with, does Lenovo even stand a chance to topple the number one? What makes the company so confident of its chances?

Rupee scales a record high...

The rupee surged up sharply against the US dollar and managed to touch a new nine-year high of 40.55/56 on fresh dollar selling, provoked by China’s decision to revise the Yuan as well as strong equity markets. The rupee started weak at 40.74/76 to a dollar at the interbank foreign exchange (forex) market, but managed to surge up to a fresh nine-year high of 40.55/56 to a dollar in late morning deals, however, it ended the day at 40.70/71 per dollar. Forex dealers opine that the rupee rallied sharply as anticipated in response to China’s decision to widen the trading band on the Yuan and to eventually raise domestic interest rates.
