Most Awesome Tombs: Adham Khan’s Tomb

Adham Khan’s life story is pretty complex, so we’ll just boil it down to this: his tomb is unique in Mughal architecture, with its octagonal design, because he betrayed a major political figure and that guy was a bit upset. It’s thought the octagonal design designates Adham and his mother as traitors, clearly illustrating that some people just can’t let go of a grudge.

Still, it’s a pretty impressive place, with lots of halls and beautiful design that people get lost in, usually literally: its local nickname is “the Labyrinth”. And it’s so beautiful that the British, on discovering this and showing their usual respect for the local culture, turned it into some dude’s house. The graves were pulled out so he could have a dining room, though we’re kind of surprised they didn’t just use the sarcophagus as a table or something. And if that doesn’t seem disrespectful enough, the British agreed with you: they later turned it into a post office. And they wondered why the Indians rebelled so often.

The plane in these pictures is still officially the 'Air Vehicle Number 1', a prototype, on board the USS George

Washington CVN-73 for catapult fit checks. Not exactly still Top Secret but certainly not yet made public..

It will be known as the F/A-37. Although specs are classified, it is believed to be Mach 3.5 (top speed in the

Mach 4 range), super-cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor with approximately a 4,000nm range. Awesome!

Govt may provide Air India Rs 2,500 cr to see through crisis

HYDERABAD: The government may provide flag carrier Air India up to Rs 2,500 crore in the absence of funds from the market route, to help it stay in the skies right through the global financial crisis.

"It is owned by the government and as like any owner of a company, government should be ready to infuse liquidity into it. Air India has a very small liquidity base of Rs 145 crore and with an estimated aircraft of Rs 40,000 crore it is absolutely unacceptable.

"There is need to infuse further liquidity to make Air India a viable entity," Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel told reporters here.

The 77-year-old airline, which initiated a fleet renewal programme three years ago and merged with its sister airline Indian last year, has proposed infusion of Rs 1,000-1,500 crore of equity capital.

It is also looking for soft loans to the tune of Rs 1,000 crore from the government that can be repaid over a period of time.
