21


A weekend well spent. Nothing could make it better than a good English movie. It was 21, directed by Australian director Robert Luketic, starring Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey and a couple of others who were part of blackjack team.

Movie is inspired by a true story of six MIT students who took Vegas casinos for a ride in the 1990s and suffered its consequences. Kevin Spacey, the mysterious MIT math professor handpicks the most brainy ones and trains them the art of card counting at the blackjack table.

Ben wants to raise $300,000 to attend Harvard Medical school after MIT. He sees no other possible way but to join his professor's team to lead it.

A fast paced entertainment keeps u glued till the end.

Elections are on the cards. The voting procedures are not complete until you get a mark on your finger with a permanent ink. Looking at your ink-stained finger have you ever wondered from where this ink comes from and its significance?

The ink called as the
Indelible ink is used as a security feature to prevent double voting.It is manufactured at Mysore Paints & Varnish Limited (MVPL), situated at Mysore, Karnataka.

The company is the only manufacturing unit in the
country to produce and
supply indelible ink to the Election
Commission.

The ink-marking rule was changed in 2006 from a 'dot' to a 'line' from top of nail upto the first joint of the finger. The rule changed and so the quantity, which is doubled to 10ml in each phial
Each polling booth is given two bottles of 10ml each for making the line on about 700 voters.

Thanks to the huge election ink order, the profitable Karnataka-owned public sector undertaking, will post a sales turnover of Rs.160 million(Rs.16 crore) for this fiscal(2008-09)
as against 90million(Rs.9 crore) last fiscal (2007-08).
