He wasn't even in the list of golfers on the cut line who got paid for their efforts and went home...nope, not Lefty. He made sure that this collapse would be one for the history books. Recall the 2006 U.S. Open?

On Sunday, actress and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan had retaliated to Raj Thackeray's statement against her husband Amitabh Bachchan. Raj Thackeray criticised Bachchan of favouring Uttar Pradesh over Maharashtra. He had also outraged peo

Real estate stocks were on a continuous ascendant, FDI was on the upswing and investors were falling over themselves to be a part of the Great Indian Realty Sweepstakes. But alas, the company ran into rough weather and had to pull back. Besides being bogged down by fighting with minority stakeholders, DLF had decided it wanted to restate its financial earnings on its red herring prospectus.For Complete IIPM Article, Click on IIPM Article Source : IIPM Editorial, 2007 An IIPM and Professor Arindam Chaudhuri (Renowned Management Guru and Economist) Initiative
