Dreamhost is a hosting provider based in the United States. I’ve been with them since March 2005. Excellent support even for newbies.
I have registered all my .com domain names with them and host my .in domains with them as well.
The image below will show you the features Dreamhost provides [ which, by far, are the most extensive I've seen for any hosting provider. ] I recommend Dreamhost to all clients and friends for their ease of use, functionality and features and reasonable prices.
Clicking on the image will take you to the Dreamhost website where you will be able to see the feature list in detail and also see the price packages available with them. A screenshot of their pricing is as follows :

I’d read about this sometime back but did not get the time to post.
Three Indian artists have sold their paintings for a total of $70 Million via an auction on Christie’s. The complete article as reported by DNA can be found here.
I managed to get thumbnails of what the paintings look like - none of the news stories were carrying the pictures and they are as following:
Chintan Upadhyay : Mutant

Ashim : Fake Error

Harsha : Melting Wit

It does get better and better for Indian Art and Indian artists. The above artists are supposed to be “new” on the scene and not in the league of Raza or Hussain but have done exceedingly well in the auction. One of the factors that might contribute to an artist’s paintings’ popularity might be the name of the painting - or it seems from the above.
