All the food, music and entertainment will be customised to create a simulated Indian experience. The festival has a dual purpose for Executive Chef, Dallas Orr and his team, as it provides an excellent opportunity for them to exchange ideas and to learn new authentic Indian dishes.

South Africa has an eclectic mix of cultures - the cuisine is a gastro-tribute to the people of South Africa. The rainbow applies not only to the people but to the food, for there are a myriad of different cuisines. Our unique blends of cuisines are derived from India, Africa, China, Malaysia and Holland.

“The cultural influences on the food of Southern Africa are countless. Every foreign nationality is representative of our cuisine but what is truly amazing is being able to adapt and add a new twist to classic recipes and I’m looking forward to working with these authoritative Goan chefs”, says Dallas Orr.

For seven nights guests can sample dishes straight from heaven. There is nothing ordinary about Indian food. You haven’t lived if you haven’t tasted Prawns Balchao, Goan fish curry rice, Lamb Xacuti and Maka pao steak.

‘Our association with the High Commision of India allows us to share food from different provinces in India, last year was Kerala and this year Goa. We are hosting special vip guests at the Table Bay Hotel and these guests are in for a treat. Their food presentation is a visual feast and the menu promises to tantalise even the most jaded of palates,” says General Manager, Philip Couvaras, “as India is considered to be one of the best gastronomic countries in the world.”

The Table Bay Hotel will give culinary enthusiasts the rare opportunity of dining with star Goa chefs; Bhuvnesh Kumar Verma and Vasco Alvares.

The explosive growth of IP-based data services worldwide has prompted lawmakers to expand existing wiretap laws to cover new modes of communications that leverage IP, such as VoIP and e-mail. As India has one of the world's fastest growing telecommunications markets, the Indian government has recognized a responsibility to put in place its own lawful intercept regulations. To meet these regulations, Sify partnered with Narus, the leader in real-time traffic intelligence to install Narus' Intercept Suite in their network. The NarusInsight Intercept Suite allows legal intercept of traffic traveling over a provider's network, regardless of the traffic being encapsulated and routed in different ways. The certificate was issued after the two companies demonstrated to the Indian authorized Law Enforcement Agencies that Sify met the functional requirements of IPLC-LIMS.

"Through our work with Narus and the implementation of the NarusInsight Intercept Suite, we are able to satisfy our government's requirements for lawful interception and monitoring of our long-distance voice and data traffic in near real time," said P J Nath, executive vice president, Sify Enterprise Solutions. "This compliance certificate completes our licensing requirements to offer international long-distance service and grow our business."

"NIS is the only solution available that can see and extract targeted data from large, heterogeneous networks -- a requirement for lawful intercept on IP networks," said Yogi Mistry, senior vice president of engineering at Narus. "Governments and service providers alike recognize Narus' technology as critical in today's environment, and truly appreciate the advantage of leveraging Narus' Insight system for traffic intelligence applications beyond intercept including cyber security and traffic management to address grey VoIP, SPAM and other traffic of interest."

NIS is an intercept and surveillance application that provides real-time, surgically precise targeting, allowing full IP session reconstruction and visibility for traffic such as Web mail, e-mail, IM, VoIP and other IP-based communications. NIS enables the capture of packet-level, flow-level and application-level usage information for forensic analysis, surveillance and regulatory compliance, and secures network monitoring with the complete capture of only targeted data. NIS's state of the art IP capture ability solves previous intercept technical challenges like target and capture of MPLS-based VPN traffic, including automatically tracking dynamically-assigned routes across large networks. NIS is the only product in the industry that solves all of these challenges to address intercept needs on any network, regardless of size, speed or routing topology. NIS is built on the NarusInsight Traffic Intelligence Platform, the only real-time platform capable of offering intercept, security and traffic management with one solution.

OpenTech System's DR/Xpert now includes extensive real-time monitoring of backup and recovery jobs and monitors the recovery of critical application datasets in real-time. The addition of a real-time monitor distinguishes DR/Xpert from similar products which only offer a static graphical interface for viewing reports after the recovery process is completed. DR/Xpert’s recovery monitor uses color coded progress bars associated with each job, application and dataset so the user can see, at a glance, just how the recovery is progressing. In addition, the real-time monitor uses color coded pie charts to display the recovery progress in terms of gigabytes recovered and gigabytes remaining as well as datasets recovered and datasets remaining. Each recovery job along with the application datasets being recovered is listed and each changes color when it has been recovered.

“The addition of real-time monitoring to DR/Xpert’s already robust graphical interface provides the user with the unparalleled ability to monitor recovery job progress in real-time and quickly determine which recovery processes have been completed and those still in process. You can actually watch as your critical datasets are automatically recovered to a user selected recovery point”, according to Don Bolton, OpenTech’s Director of Technical Services. “DR/Xpert’s real-time recovery monitoring provides the user with the ability to view individual critical datasets by name, application and backup aggregate and view detailed reports quickly and easily. First, we made recovery easy and now we have made it even easier”.

The domestic hospitality sector is likely to see investments of over USD$11 billion in the next two years with 40 international hotel brands making their presence in the country in the next few years.

On the occasion of the launch, Dr. C Munichoodappa, Managing Director, The Bangalore Hospital said, "Opening of the Cath lab is yet another major development for our hospital, which is always striving to improve the standard of Healthcare. Our hospital has always adopted a compassionate attitude and in no way do we ever compromise in offering the latest medical technology to our patients." Dr. K. S. Shekhar, Chairman, The Bangalore Hospital, added, "The Cath lab in The Bangalore Hospital currently is amongst the most advanced in the city. This new system is expected to play a critical role in helping clinicians treat a growing number of chronic heart and vascular conditions."

Also present during the launch, Mr. Dinesh Lodha, VP, Wipro GE stated- "GE's Innova Flat Panel Cathlab systems are the world's most advanced cardiovascular imaging systems utilizing an all-digital flat panel detector to produce extremely detailed images of the heart. Specifically, the Innova 2100IQ is a state-of-the-art cardiac X-ray system that enables cardiologists to clearly visualize fine vessels from the heart to the legs both during diagnostic procedures and during placement of interventional devices. We are extremely pleased to associate with The Bangalore Hospital where we believe that the full potential of the equipment would be realized."

The Innova is the only flat panel cardiovascular imaging system proven to significantly reduce radiation dose. The typical diagnostic cardiac exam, which usually consists of seven to ten coronary scans, could be reduced to 2 left coronary angiography scans and one coronary spin scan using the "InnovaSpin" technology. This would mean taking fewer images, thereby exposing the physician and patient to lower X-ray radiation dose and also subjecting the patient to less contrast media. It could also produce time economies that speed up life-saving diagnoses and procedures. The system's 20 centimeter-square detector allows a cardiologist to visualize the entire heart in a single view.

The Bangalore hospital was an initiative of about 44 medical specialists. Way back in 1991 they joined hands and started the multi-disciplinary hospital adding a big landmark to medical development in the city. Even today, it is completely run by doctors, sustaining high medical ethics and standard of treatment. The hospital's primary objective is to render specialty and high standard medical care at a reasonable cost to its middle and upper middle class patients, who comprise the majority. The Hospital is equipped with most of the medicine and surgical facilities including super specialties in Cardiology, Cardio Thoracic Surgery, Neurology, Neuro Surgery, Urology and Renal Transplantations, Gastroenterology and Radiotherapy among others.

The hospital has been intensely involved in modernizing various departments and also has extensive future plans for innovation and expansion. Suvidha, a retirement settlement project has been planned for Rs. 45 crore and Rs. 60 crore is being invested in infrastructure expansion including acquisition of neighbouring properties. A super specialty cancer hospital is also on the anvil by The Bangalore Hospital.

In recent times our advanced lifestyle has induced various forms of cardio vascular diseases. Heart disease is no more associated with ageing and it can affect just about anyone. Such is the gravity of the situation in India that the World Health Organization estimates that by year 2010, 60 per cent of the world's cardiac patients will be from India itself. Improvisation of the cardiac department in the Bangalore hospital definitely is an important step taken for the society, which is so prone to cardiac diseases.

Since the tool can potentially access a great number of hotels through its partners, it allows travelers to compare and search hotels with less time and effort.
