For years Indians had been embrassed about the small size of the International Airport of India. The airport could easily be rated ‘one of the smallest airports in the world’. However, with the Common Wealth Games Being held in India for the first time in History, the job of renovating the airport was given to the largest construction company in India.

After years of struggle the airport was opened in August. Some say that the new airport was beyond their expectations. The airport now has more than 500 shops with every brand, from Chanel to Hermes available. It has further gone on to become one of the five largest airports in the World. The airport also provides comfort for its passengers as,  upon arrival passengers will be in no hurry to get a trolley for themselves, instead at each belt one trolley will be assigned and ready for each passenger on the flight.

India is very proud of its new airport. The mass number of workers at the airport also provide jobs for the massive population of India. Each day, India takes a step to progress.

A Saudi prince, based in London, was accused of murdering his servant and could face death in Arabia for allegations of homosexuality. Saud Bin Abdulaziz Bin Nasir al Saud, 34 is the grandson of Saudi Arabia’s current king, Abdullah. The prince’s royal status will not get him any sympathy or advantage over the judges, in fact it seems like he is in deep trouble in his homeland.

The prince was accused of killing his server on February 15 in a violent attack with a “sexual element,” after weeks of abusing him. Although his lawyer, John Kelsey Fry, denies any claims of homosexuality stating that his defendant is not gay, the punishment for homosexuality in Saudi remains that of death.

Surprisingly in Arabia, it is the family and the relatives who push the courts hard for punishment because they fear that their family name will be soiled if there is no punishment. The decision for the prince’s life will be based on his family, precisely the upon the King

In many countries today, such as India, governments are considering banning the Blackberry Messenger service primarily because it is a very easy way for terrorists to communicate. The service is a national security matter as the company is not able to trace messages sent across the network. Talk of the ban of BBM has been on for a while now, however the company seems intent on pressuring the government to give it more time to find a solution before the ban.

India, which had been under attack recently in Mumbia in the “Taj” Hotel, thinks BBM is a great way for terrorists to plan another such attack. India lost important Businessmen and Politicians under that attack. It is therefore taking extra care of its security and banning BBM is a step. The government has however decided that the ban should be put on hold till January 2011, after which the ban will be in progress unless the company comes up with a solution.

The most powerful family in Mumbai, India, has finally been opposed by none other than their private college‘s dean, Dr Frazer Mascarenhas S J.  The young and active leader of the Shiv Sena, Aditya Thackeray was popularly criticized by the dean of St. Xavier College for his immaturity at handling a book written against politics by an alumni, Rohinton Mistry.

The book ‘such a Long Journey‘, was shortlisted for the prestigious, Booker Prize, and Mistry is one of the proudest alumni’s of the University. However, members of the Shiv Sena, the political party under the Thackerays, are burning copies of the book to show their disagreement with it. One of students also asked another college in Mumbai to take the book off their syllabus.

The Dean‘s opinion was, “It is inconceivable that in the 21st century, a political party will not show the maturity to accept criticism and answer it by the evidence of its own actions. Is it not unreasonable, that literature is banned, merely because it dares to critique us? St. Xavier’s College regrets that this book, written by an alumnus, and widely acclaimed in the literary world, has been treated in this manner.”
