Bah! Introduce a new "trollface" smiley, and put it at the end of such posts.

I think, as far as individual cities go, DFI has maximum people from Bangalore. From all regions combined. We can discuss all these elevated flyovers and airports and metro and IT there.

Eyeing China, India to enter ICBM club in 3 months

NEW DELHI: The countdown has begun. Within three months, India will gatecrash the super-exclusive ICBM (inter-continental ballistic missile) club, largely the preserve of countries like the US, Russia and China that brandish long-range strategic missiles with strike ranges well beyond 5,500 km.

However, it will become a full-fledged member of the club only when its most ambitious nuclear-capable Agni-V ballistic missile, which will be able to target even northern China if required, becomes fully operational in 2014.

Gung-ho a day after the successful test of the new-generation 3,500-km Agni-IV missile, senior defence scientists on Wednesday declared that Agni-V, with a strike range of over 5,000-km, would be test-fired within the December-February time-frame.
