    In his review, John Macomber, a researcher at Harvard Business school states, From a

    research point of view, I learned quite a bit in the context of my work looking at new

    cities all over the world. I'm interested in rapid urbanization. At the H, you have the

    clearest example I know of the creation of a huge and totally new city from scratch.This land, after all, was under water six months ago since it's in the flood plain of

    two rivers. Cities consist of many componentsand I was interested to see what

    would be the focus of administrative attention during H [with the mass movement of]

    tens of millions of people [from] all around the world into H.

    Romulus Whitaker was a navy marine and is currently the vice-chairman of theCrocodile Specialist Group IUCN/Species Survival Commission. He was also reportedly

    the first person to draw public attention to J. According to Whitaker, J will probably

    remain one of the last important repositories of snakes of the Western Ghats. Apart

    from its significance in snake conservation, J is also home to an endangered species K

    one of the few remaining species of the old world. The creature gets its name from its

    The relentless attack by the Congress against N seems to get shriller every day,

    suggesting that N is allying himself with the state's chief minister by associating

    himself with the CMs venture M designed to popularize his state. Sources told NDTV

    that the CM has met advertising firm Ogilvy and Mather to finalize the dates and

    locales ofM, one of these locales being L. Being an outstanding orator and a skilful

    writer, N is known to have been good friends with E, who got him to decide to run for

    In an interview, O, the modernised, flirtatious, Malaysia based avatar of one ofNs

    greatest characters talks of his early days in advertising saying, I did production for a

    lot of ads. Like the KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. I have done a television ad for Liberty

    shoes. All I did was to wear my Puma t-shirt and football shorts and jump.

    In 2002, O performed in P alongside R under the direction ofQ. R is the brand

    ambassador of Longines and the first Indian woman to be immortalised by Anna Maria

    Glosholtzs famous organisation in London, among other Indians including N and O.

    The TV show Saraswatichandra airing on starplus and DD simultaneously is theculmination of a years effort by Q. It is based on the life of saraswatichandra who has

    a deep love for his late mother Saraswati, and sports her name in his, thereby basing

    itself, rather loosely on Qhimself. P is perhaps one ofQs biggest directorial successes,

    being the only one of its kind to be featured by TIME.

    S featuring R was created simultaneously in two languages. According to a famous and

    ancient Indian literary work, S is also a king and a great devotee of Lord Shiva. He is

    said to have had an attitude of intense vengeance and a habit of ceasing anything he

    fancied. Among these is the wife of mythical Indias most loved king whom he is said

    to have kidnapped from their forest home in D, on the banks of the Godavari while

    her husband was on a wild goose chase.
