Bangalore became perhaps the first city to have Mercedes Benz city bus. Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has recently aquired two Mercedes Benz buses to run them on a trial basis. The trial started from 28th August, 2010 on few selected routes like 335 (Majestic – Kadugodi) and 365 (Majestic – Electronic city) followed by Vijaynagar – ITPL, Bannerghatta etc. Basically as other series Volvo high end buses they will be run in the IT and Tourist circuit.

To popularize the service BMTC has announced a promotional fare of Rs 5 for 3 days for any distance. After that, Mercedes Benz buses will have the same fare as the Volvo buses. When the city has over 400 Volvo buses and I heard they are makes huge loses, what prompted BMTC to go for trial run of Mercedes buses. It is not that I am complaining – I am certainly not! I am happy that these beauties (Mercedes Benz) will criss-cross Bangalore. Looks like the Merc buses are coming cheaper at Rs 65 lakh/bus and the Volvo B7R used to cost Rs 75 lakh/bus. In terms of looks the exterior of the bright red Volvos are good, however I heard the interiors of Mercedes Benz buses are better.

The Karnataka state owned intercity transport agency – KSRTC is already running a few Mercedes Benz buses on the Bangalore – Mysore route and planning to add another 10.

Spain won the 2010 FIFA world cup beating Netherlands 1 – 0. The first 90 minutes of the match was dry. But both sides fought hard, with the Spanish retaining around the ball over 55%. Andres Iniesta of Spain scored the only goal at 26th minute of the 30 minute extra time. Both Spain and Netherlands were playing to win the world cup for the first time. Netherlands has already lost twice in the finals in 1974 and 1978.The recent emergence of football powerhouse Spain came into force after they won the Euro cup. They are the second team after the then West Germany to hold Euro cup and World cup simultaneously.

This match was a record of a sort in terms of yellow cards 5 Spanish players and 9 Dutch players has been handed yellow card. Dutch player Heitinga was handed a red card and the Dutch team was reduced to 10 in the second of the extra time of 30 minutes. The match looked destined for a penalty shoot out but Andres Iniesta’s goal saved it for Spain.

Spain won the world cup as the 8th nation followed by 5 times by Brazil, 4 times by Italy, 3 times by Germany, 2 times both by Uruguay and Argentina, once each by England and France.

MLTR Eternity album title song:

The ad film was shot long time back as a part of an international assignment in 1999 when both the actors were working as models. It was a television commercial for the New York Lotto but was shot in India. The ad is directed by Ken Nahoum. The video is posted online by Tommy Kane, who was the art illustrator for this ad.

Mumbai Mirror quotes Bipasha’s manager saying: “Bipasha had done this ad in 1999 when she was modelling for Ford Modelling Agency in New York. It was done as an international assignment and was meant for the international market. I don’t know why such an old ad has surfaced now.

Everything said and done, Bipasha Basu and Vivek Oberoi share a wonderful chemistry in this ad
