Later, he joined a gurukul and began taking lessons in yoga and the Vedas. In the early 1990s he used to sell amla (Indian gooseberry) on his bicycle and extoll its medicinal value (it is a big source of vitamin C) until he met a trader whose wife was on her deathbed. <br />
<br />
Ram Krishna Yadav revived her and in gratitude the trader set Ramdev up in business. His first enterprise was located at Kankhal, near Haridwar – the Divya Yog Pharmacy<br />
<br />
Ramdev recently joined hands with the world’s leading packaging solutions company Tetra Pak to develop an array of ready-to-drink health beverages in aseptic packages of different sizes and shapes. In the US, the yoga guru had also acquired an ayurvedic medicine company in the name of Herbo Ved, for an undisclosed sum, to sell new products abroad.<br />

Dermot Reeve was initially clueless on the reason though. By process of investigation and elimination he finally figured out the reason was that the player incharge of polishing and keeping the ball clean was chewing extra strong mints that produced saliva which, when applied to the ball for cleaning purposes, enabled it to shine and swing for longer. Slowly the word spread across other cricket countys and chewing gums played a crucial role in fast bowling </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><hr /> <a href="http://www.bizgyan.blogspot.com/">My Blog Name</a></div>praneethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05810937398293811873noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37724917.post-27643873137704853652011-03-09T05:11:00.000-08:002011-03-09T05:11:10.559-08:00One heck of simple idea<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

auditorium, for its annual convention. The boys parked their bicycles and went around the bazaar for few hours and decided to head back home. But when they walked back to where they'd left their bikes, the new Schwinn bike of Cassius clay was gone.<br />
<br />
Cassius was in tears and went to a police officer standing near the basement of the building, where there was a boxing gym, the Columbia gym. Cassius was furious and demanded a statewide manhunt for his bike and threatened the beat hell out of the kid who had stolen it,<br />
<br />
The police officer, named Joe Martin after listening to Cassius's oaths of revenge, said, "well do you know how to fight?"<br />
<br />
Cassius said no, but I'd fight anyway. Martin said that perhaps the best thing to do would be to come around to the gym and learn how to fight before making any nasty challenges<br />
<br />
Soon Cassius started coming to the gym on South florida street and learned the rudiments of boxing.<br />
and went on to became a legendary boxer<br />
.<br />
Which boxer am I talking about?

Finally the teams agreed to use the Argentinian ball in the first half and the Uruguayan ball in the second half. And ironically Argentina led 2-1 at half time and Uruguay won the game 4-2!<br />
<br />
Uruguay was selected to host first world cup following their gold medals at the 1924 and 1928 Olympics and because the competition coincided with the South American country's centenary celebrations.<br />
<br />
In every Italian title, their squad had a player who wasn´t born in Italy.<br />
31% of all Portugal's world cup finals goals have been scored against North Korea.<br />
Australia scored the most goals in any World Cup qualifier after beating American Samoa 31-0 in 2001.<br />

Diego Maradona wears two Hublot watches one on his left hand for local time and the one on right hand for Argentina time<br />
<br />
Cholima is the nickname of North Korean national football team. Its name roughly means "thousand-mile horse"<br />
<br />
Gandhiji started two football clubs, in South Africa, both named "The Passive Resisters" after the writings of Thoreau n Leo Tolstoy<br />
<br />
India qualified by default to the 1950 football world cup without playing the qualifiers<br />
<br />
England did not participate in the first three tournaments. Infact when FIFA decided to start a world cup the English said, No, thanks as they thought such a tournament was beneath their dignity.<br />

The company started by Toyoda's grandfather did indeed have his name -- Tokyo Toyoda Motor Sales -- until 1936, when a stroke of the brush changed it to Toyota.<br /><br />Writing "Toyoda" in Japanese requires 10 brush strokes<br /><br />While "8" is considered an auspicious number, "10" is not. "Ten" consists of two strokes crossed against each other and resembles the "plus" symbol, or even a crossroads or an uncertain path. Not a good omen for a company.The name Toyoda consists of two characters, one meaning fertile and the other, rice paddy.<br /><br />Source <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/24/AR2010022405248.html">story</a> <br /><br /><br />2.

For release, the young bowler bowled at a 44-gallon drum behind the machinery shed, inflicting “belly wounds” on it. Despite the hours of practice, he did not have the accuracy he has come to be revered for. His captain in bush cricket rarely used his services as a bowler; he preferred to deploy him on the boundary. “It seemed as if everyone thought I was wasting my time playing cricket,” says X. “There were times when it would’ve been easy just to give up; I mean, I didn’t even get a bowl!
