Though the topline as well as bottomline of the company has witnessed the CAGR of more than 100% from FY08 to FY10, the offer price is expensive.

There is a lot of hype being created for this issue, mainly due to Infosys - Narayana Murthy and George Soros - Quantum fund being PE investors in the company. But they have been alloted these shares around Rs.300 and the IPO is price is much higher at 850-985.

But still the issue is likely to get good response from the institutional investors and may be well subscribed. Hence investors looking for listing gains (which is always risky) may apply, since it has got market fancy. But but other than that, the issue is definitely expensive.

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
