...Delhi than malnourished children in Noida. I am a regular visitor to China and a keen follower of Chinese progress. One must realize that that country opened up its economy much earlier than India did. And China still has many more slogans than India has! Dukkipati Nageswara Rao, HYDERABAD, INDIA...

A quality-control expert samples every tenth crate; if the grapes are good a team will ready them for delivery within hours to Reliance Fresh stores around Bangalore and as far away as Hyderabad and even Mumbai (formerly Bombay).

At least five people were killed Friday in the southern city of Hyderabad, when a bomb exploded in a mosque crowded with worshipers attending Friday prayers. Police say they found and defused two other bombs close by. So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack...
