You've never seen an Indian referring to an African as Habshi?

Actually, these are the transit charges. It's sort of a trade agreement between East and Southern African countries. Of course there would be additional charges if the cargo is intended for Bangladeshi markets, including customs etc.

Red Bull used KERS today, but only intermittantly. The system failed in Webber's car, otherwise he would have been right up there with Vettel. Though I agree, I hope Red Bull can modify their car to accommodate KERS by China.

A sense of oneness with your fellow countrymen, and all the pride and responsibilities associated with it.

It's the team's fault IMO. Each driver is given 3 sets of Prime and 3 sets of Option tyres for Quali + race. Hamilton already used up 2 sets of soft for Quali, so he had to use the hard tyres in the race. Add to that their baffling pit stop strategy, Mclaren basically ruined the race for Hamilton.

Relax madi and stay on topic. If you want to discuss the BSF or Tipaimukh Dam, go to the relevant threads or open a new one. Don't make illogical and emotional statements. :cheers:

Isn't that good? It's making the races so exciting, not like the processions we had in the last few years of Bridgestone.

Except for MTNL/BSNL, every internet service provider in India has a Fair Usage Policy.

Hamilton got the penalty for weaving in front of Alonso, which was a lap or 2 before the contact with alonso. The contact affected Alonso, not Hamilton. Alonso has also been given a 20 sec penalty for it, quite stupid actually

Actually, now that the govt. has fulfilled its responsibility by offering security, it can do exactly what you say and blame these leaders for not taking security ;) :P

BTW, I just came across another report by a consultancy firm (Castalia Advisors) who have performed an analysis on the same. (Here's the link: Powered by Google Docs ) According to their recommendations, the optimal charges should be around US$ 55 per truck, when each truck has a capacity of 15...

The road usage charges in Comesa ( Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa) are: Big buses carrying more than 25 people ---------------> 5.0 Rigid Heavy Goods Vehicles ---------------------------> 6.0 Heavy Good Vehicle (HGV) with more than Three Axles--> 10.0 CHARGES PER...

Has to be. I'm not sure of the modalities though. Let me find out and get back to you. :cheers:

Naah, I'm from the transport infra industry, specifically project financing and structuring. But as far as I understand, this facility would be cabotage if an Indian vehicle was transporting goods from one point in Bangladesh to another point in Bangladesh. This service is more in the line of...

Then you just have to wait. Once Airtel realizes it's investment isn't paying dividend, they'll automatically shut shop. :cheers:

:woot: Are you the one calling me everyday trying to sell me insurance? Seriously though, is it even legal to have so many sims? Why do you need 9 Sim cards?

If Airtel have the worst service, then why do Bangladeshis go for Airtel? If they don't use Airtel numbers, the company will automatically go bust.

As I said before, the international standard for Highways is in terms of number of Axles per km, while the same for Railways is in GTKM (Gross Tonne per kilometer).

It's exactly opposite in Delhi/NCR.

Yeah, I'd prefer paying 0.2 p/sec more rather than not getting any network coverage or having call drops.
