This 22 story 550ft tall building in the heart of Mumbai will soon be the residence of Ambani, his wife, his three children and his mother. The unbelievable 400,000 sq feet interior space will have of a number of facilities starting by the 6 story parking!

It is said that when the building construction ends, the family will hire 600 employees to work on their… house!

Well, if i had a 400,000 sq feet house i would surely live every day of the year in a different 1,000 sq feet part, to not get bored.

There is also a video for Antilla, watch it

Few hours before the start of the famous Dakar (January 5th) rally across the Sahara Desert, the organizers, Amaury Sport Organization - ASO, canceled the event. This was done due to serious security concerns over possible terrorist attacks in Mauritania. The concerns came from the murder of 4 French tourists in Mauritania (where 8 stages of the 15 rally would take place) along with direct threats possibly from Al-Qaeda.

The 2008 Dakar rally was scheduled to be a 9000 km long race, for the 570 contestants, ending on the 20th of January after passing from 6 countries (Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania and Senegal)
