Its title, Entry From Backside Only, refers to a phrasecommonly used on signs to indicate the rear entrance of a building. Author Binoo John said young Indians had embraced the variant ofthe language as a charming mingling of English and Hindi, ratherthan an embarrassing mongrel. “Economic prosperity has changed attitudes towards IndianEnglish,” John, a journalist, said.

With 600 reviewers and five offices — in Rock Hill, Raleigh, N. , Houston, Miami and New York — it has no equal in the Carolinas as a home-grown success, according to industry observers.

Kalmadi said the earlier deadline of September 30 for signing the final contract had now been extended. India’s ambitious F1 plans were first unveiled in June when the IOA announced it had received a letter from Formula 1 supremo Ecclestone, allowing the country to host a race in 2009 but subject to meeting certain conditions.

Karthikeyan hit the road on the back of Indian sponsorship reportedly worth 10 million dollars. The 29-year-old did not race in 2006 but is signed up with Williams as a test driver.

Millions of Indians watch F1 on television, often with the same passion they reserve for the country’s most popular sport — cricket.
