Strange also that they would use a Candian rather than an Indian registrar.

Well its looks like they are updating the who.is

www.day.in is redirected to http://adayinlife.timesofindia.com/

Very cheap for a one word 3 letter .in end user sale, nearer to reseller prices. Or simply a sign of the state of the market with very few sales happening.

The Times picked the right Day to buy!

It may be a low price, but I still think it is nice to see a high-profile Indian company going for the .in extension when their main site is still at the .com.

Low price lol. Do you an regular advert in the classified section of the Times of India cost around $80?

To launch day.in they ran front page full ads to promote that would be worth $5000-10000 alone. Moral of the story is don't sell you good domains cheap! A proper price for day.in would have been $20,000-100,000.
