Where is 'Hot Singer Vijayalakshmi' Now?

The combination of beauty with brains is hard to find but then the cine circuit has few exceptions like that.

One among them seems to be the Singer Vijayalakshmi. Age is catching up on her but she maintains hot appeal in literary and singing circuit even among younger crowds.

Usually she sings in private songs but she is known for her hot looks. Recently, she also showed her presence of mind in an interview.

This happened in the Vanitha TV Channel interview. The anchor put a rather tricky and dubious question which goes “They say that a singer and music director share a ‘close’ relation, who is the music director close to your heart.”

It looked like Vijayalakshmi knew that if she takes current music directors names then it will be trouble. So, she was intelligent and took the name of M S Vishwanathan who is Ilayaraja’s guru and stated that he is her favourite music director. She also implied that there wouldn’t be any ‘close’ relation between music director and singer, but the relation will just be between ‘composition’ and the ‘voice rendering it’. Those who watched the interview said that Vijayalakshmi sure knows the tactics to handle interviews.

Shoaib Malik playing Tennis with Sania Mirza

Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has taken to playing tennis and is elated at beating his star wife, Sania Mirza, on a mini court.

"I play tennis with Sania twice a week. I beat her at a mini court recently," Shoab Malik said during a recent interaction at Lahore airport.

Malik, who developed interest in the game after his marriage to the Indian tennis ace, is now aiming to beat her on a standard court.

"I now want to win a game on a full-sized court," the former Pakistan captain said.

Emphasising on the rise in Sania's ranking, Malik pointed out that her game has improved after their marriage.

Malik said he was in India during the historic cricket World Cup semifinal between the arch-rivals but regretted for not being able to watch it live.

"I did not have a visa for Mohali," he said. Sania is passionate about cricket and the couple support their respective countries during an Indo-Pak cricket match.

"We watch the game together, she supports India and I support Pakistan," he revealed.

Talking about their marriage, the cricketer said both were happy. They are based out in Dubai but keep visiting their native countries.

"We live in Dubai and keep visiting both India and Pakistan. Both the High Commissions have been very cooperative in issuing us visas," he said.

Support 'Eco-Friendly Ganesha Idols' - Go Green Ganesha 2011 Photos

Go Green Ganesha is a Social and Environmental cause initiated to save Marine life and Environment by adopting Go Green Eco friendly Ganesha Idols as an environment saving alternative of Plaster of Paris’s (PoP) harmful Ganesha Idols in up coming Ganesha Chaturthi also know as Ganesha Festival.

India is particularly vulnerable to the various impacts of climate change. We already have been exposed to the worst tsunamis, famine, droughts, floods and even wars over water rights. Lord Ganesha is worshipped in all parts of our country as "Vighnaharta" or the trouble-shooter God. During Ganesha Chaturthi festival, more than millions of Plaster of Paris-made Ganpati idols are immersed in water throughout India and more than lacs are immersed in Mumbai alone. With this in mind, have we ever seriously thought about just how toxic and harmful are the effects of the Plaster of Paris idols to marine life, Environment and to our own lives?

Environmentalists state that Plaster of Paris (POP) Idols contain gypsum, sulphur, phosphorus, magnesium, mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic and carbon which are very dangerous to all marine life, ecosystem and to humans life. It takes several months for PoP to dissolve in water; it greatly reduces oxygen levels and increases acidity in water. What does this mean?..Disturbing the ecosystem in such way leads to death of most marine life as a result of poisoning the waters of lakes, ponds, rivers and seas. This toxic and poisonous water also causes contamination of the underground waters. Animals, fishes drink this toxic water and it eventually ends up in our food chain through milk products, sea food or meat. …Means a serious health hazard to us, humans. In many areas, the same polluted water gets pumped into homes as well.

People who consume this type of polluted water, experience a wide range of health problems such as infections of the lungs, intestinal water born diseases (as typhoid, Hepatitis, cholera , gastritis, Diarrhea etc) and diseases of the skin (as skin maceration, irritation, or infection) blood, and eyes.

We need Clean and wholesome Environment to live in considering it is our birth right but we fail to understand that its our Fundamental duty under the Constitution of India to protect and improve our Environment including lakes, rivers, forests and all other natural resources. Has anyone seriously considered and cared about the immensely harmful effects of the Plaster of Paris on Sustainable Development, i.e. Maintaining Ecological balances for our own lifetime as well as for future Generations?

Let us make practical implication of the motto, “Prevention is better than the cure”! Every step taken to protect our environment is an investment in to our own well-being as well for our next generations. This planet is all we have and everything else loses significance without it...So today is the day and now is the best time to take the first step toward Saving the Environment By supporting our Go Green Ganesha cause which is formed by two professional guys namely Dr. Pradeep Tripathi and Durgesh Gupta.

We are not only creating awareness but also providing solutions by introducing our Go Green Ganesha (Eco friendly Ganesha Idols) on a mass level. To make this noble common cause a successful one, we urgently need and seeking your full support to save our Environment and Mother Earth.

'Sex with young girls has become luxury of rich' says Kerala High Court

Kochi: The Kerala High Court on Monday said that sex with young girls had become the "luxury" of the rich and rejected the bail pleas of eight accused in a case relating to the rape of a minor girl allegedly by 100-odd men over a period of time.

"Sex with young girls had become the luxury of the rich and the hunt for virgins had gained momentum. This may be because of fear of AIDS," Justice K T Shankaran observed.

He dismissed the bail applications of eight accused, including CPI-M local leader Thomas Varghese, in the case relating to the rape of the 14-year old girl of Paravoor in Ernaulam district.

So far over 60 people, including the girl's father, have been arrested in the case.

In her complaint to the police in June, the girl had said her father, who used to do small roles in Malayalam films, was the first to rape her. He then took her to various places and 'offered' her to at least 100 men.

Finally Sirish Bharadwaj behind the bars in harassment case - Chanchal Guda Jail

Sirish Bharadwaj, who created good food to the media channels few years ago by marrying Megastar Chiranjeevi's daughter Srija. Love Stories proved again that what if a normal person marries a girl hails from celebrities / rich family background. That is been proved again. Not sure what was happend between Srija and Sirish, now Srija put a case against Sirish that he is harassing for more dowry. However she is enjoying the parties wit the big family support like attending the functions etc. Read more about Sirish now -

It is often said that stress and depression leads to overweight in few individuals. Right now, that seems to be the case with Sirish Bharadwaj. It is heard that he is unable to bear the current turmoil which is happening in his life and is drinking excessively due to tension.

Buzz is that force is increasing on him to give divorce to Srija. Sources say Chiru’s family is planning to give Rs 5 crores as alimony to Sirish and settle the matter. However, more than that gesture, it is the amount figure which has caught the attention of many.

They say “The number five seems to be a lucky number for the mega family. Even Pawan Kalyan gave Rs 5 crores to get rid of his first wife Nandini. Now this one.” Anyways…there is also another talk coming in – “It is not just about Sirish-Srija, even their daughter is also a crucial aspect here.” For now, the visible fact is Sirish is putting on weight.

Priyadarshini Ram Reddy aka Sakshi Ram Anna playing Hide & Seek game

Priyadarshini Ram Reddy, also referred to as Meesala Ram Reddy in the media circles, appears to have gone into virtual hiding, after he was unceremoniously necked out of Sakshi, the media house promoted by YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy about two months ago.

Ram Reddy brought professionalism and work culture to Sakshi and in fact, was considered to be a synonym for Sakshi. For the readers, he was popularly known as Ram Annayya and for the others, he was “Sakshi Ram Reddy.” Such was his attachment with that media house.

After quitting Sakshi, Ram Reddy is nowhere to be seen. Initially, he told a couple of friends that he would make a foray into film making, but one does not know what happened to the project after that. There was also a talk that he would take over as CEO of I-News Channel, but later, it turned out to be just a rumour. He even reportedly tried to get closer to Rajya Sabha member K V P Ramachandra Rao in the recent past; may be to revive his old advertisement business. But after seeing KVP shaking hands with Jaganmohan Reddy at a wedding recently, Ram Reddy dropped the idea, thinking that KVP and Jagan might join hands with each other again.

Now, Ram Reddy is believed to have switched off his mobile and is not responding even to his friends’ calls. May be he will come out with a bang with his new venture!

TANA actively helping students of University of Northern Virgini - More Details

On July 28h, 2011, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) initiated action against University of Northern Virginia (www.unva.edu) and served with a Notice of Intent to withdraw (NOWI) ability to enroll or maintain International students admitted under Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVIS).

The majority of International population at the University consists of students from India reportedly from Andhra Pradesh. The Situation is vastly different from the “Trivalley Situation” where in the investigation was on the students and their SEVIS status was changed from ACTIVE to TERMINATED. However, in the case of UNVA, the focus is on the University and its inability to follow rules set forth by SEVIS for International Students. There have been no arrests or detentions or electronic monitoring and the SEVIS status of students is unchanged and continues to be ACTIVE for their approved duration of study.

The University would not be immediately shut down but would be given a one month notice for explanation. Currently enrolled students would be able to continue education and finish the term after which has two options. a) . Seek transfer to another SEVIS approved University. b) Or seek voluntary return to India

In a notice on their website (www.ice.gov/sevis/unva) ICE has informed the UNA student that they have two choices - continue to attend classes and maintain their active status or seek transfer to another SEVP approved institution. UNVA does not have access to SEVIS and will not be able to issue new I-20s for new students and will also not be able to manage non-immigrant students’ records in SEVIS.

The Telugu Association of North America (TANA) has immediately started to work with accredited and SEVIS approved schools to allow UNVA students to transfer seamlessly into their programs in a timely manner so that they do not lose continuity in academic progress as they work towards obtaining the degrees of their choice.

In a notice issued to its members, urged people in the Northern Virginia area to contact the students and provide immediate and long term support in this difficult period of transition to other schools. Students can also directly contact TANA by calling any of the TEAM SQUARE members in the Virginia region. Or sending an email to team@tana.org.

TANA President, Prasad Thotakura is actively working with authorities to ensure that all students are protected from detention and voluntary departure and also ensuring that the students are in compliance with SEVIS rules at this critical juncture. Under his leadership, the entire Executive committee and Board of TANA are very actively engaged in discussion with accredited, licensed and SEVIS approved schools to facilitate immediate transition and continuity in education.

For immediate assistance, legal help or need for counseling with status issues, students in the Northern Virginia region can the following TANA office bearers:

Satish Vemana (Treasurer, TANA): 7030731-8367; Subba Kolla (Foundation Trustee): 703-728-1573


Trilok Kantheti (Regional Representative-Capitol): 703-585-3565; Ashok Kolla (Chair – NRI Student Services): 270-293-0003

Update on Srija Sirish Bharadwaj Family Court Case

The latest development in the Sirish-Sreeja marital trouble case is that Sirish has surrendered himself in the Nampally Court after his valiant efforts to secure an anticipatory bail went in vain. However, those who were present at the court premises during his surrendering revealed a touching incident.

It is heard that after surrendering himself, Sirish cried a lot. The talk is that he wanted to see his daughter Nivruthi and was missing her a lot. It seems Sirish reportedly said “I have not harassed anyone. I can’t say things openly right now. But I am really worried about Nivruthi. I want to live with my daughter.”

Those who have been following the case are remarking that so far, Chiranjeevi has successfully kept Sreeja away from talking to the media so they are keen on knowing her side of the story. For now, it appears that Sirish is going through some severe emotional turmoil due to all this.

Indore: The Mumbai police has arrested the chief operating officer of an online survey company for alleged financial irregularities, police said Friday.

Tarak Bajpai, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Speak Asia, an online survey company, was arrested late last night in connection with a forgery case from the Vijay Nagar police station area, City Superintendent of Police Amarinder Singh said.

'Say No To Drugs' - Anti Drug Campaign by Kalamandir Kalyan on Aug 15th @ KBR Park

Is a famous textile business organization blackmailing the Telugu stars known as ‘Kalaakars’? This is the interesting talk happening in filmnagar. Honestly, the growth of Kalamandir is attributed to the role of cinema biggies. Sponsoring costumes for films, organizing premiers and sponsoring them are some of the programs which brought good visibility to this organization and Kalamandir grew by leaps within short span. It is still continuing to grow big.

By nature, Kalyan, the owner of Kalamandir is a lover of arts and that’s why he was persistent on becoming a member in the censor board so that he can build relations with film people. However, you must be wondering why an organization like that is blackmailing heroes. Here is the story.

It is known news that the drugs scandal is shaking the Telugu film industry. Under this situation, the new initiative of Kalamandir titled ‘Anti Drug Campaign’ has gained a lot of significance. With a slogan that says ‘Say No To Drugs’, the organization is all set to take off with a huge rally on August 15th evening at the KBR Park in Hyderabad. This has led to all heroes taking part in the program mandatory.

If they don’t, they stand the risk of being linked to drugs or drugs scandal. Usually, our heroes’ attitude is like ‘What’s in it for me’ like Kota Srinivasa Rao in ‘Aha Naa Pellanta’. But looking at the current situation, they have no choice but to attend it. That’s why few cine seniors are jovially commenting that the Kalamandir folks are emotionally blackmailing the ‘Kalaakars’. Jokes apart, Kalamandir has also set up an NPO called ‘Kalamandir Foundation’ and they have been taking up several charity programs as part of that which is quite appreciable.

Shocking Reason Behind Chiru's 'Padmabhushan'

It is known news that megastar Chiranjeevi is awarded the prestigious Padmabhushan but did you know that there is a big plan behind it? Well, there is something like that, say few sources. Well, the buzz is that the Padmabhushan award was the result of master mind Allu Aravind’s strong lobbying.

Now, the talk is that the reason for targeting the Padmabhushan award is something very interesting. Whenever an individual becomes a Padma award holder then IT folks don’t go near that person just like that. It is a very big process to go and raid the house of a Padma award winner by IT department. And Aravind knows at that time that a gush of big amount is going to come to Chiru’s house once he floats new party. Hence he has taken this precautionary measure. Wow! What a mastermind is Allu Aravind?!

The Indian government gives that as recognition to honour a person’s integrity and service mindedness. So it is next to impossible that the IT folks will conduct any raids. That’s why it is heard that Aravind joined hands with Dasari Narayana Rao and did that. A source close to Aravind revealed “Otherwise they will not do anything just like that.”

Film IndustryJunior Artistes trapping Software Engineers @ Bus Stops

It is known that houseflies circumambulate a piece of sweet. Similarly where there is money, many businesses surround. One such business is prostitution, which is age old.

The junior artistes in film industry are aiming at the software engineers those are drawing salaries in lakhs of rupees. They are coming up wearing sexy outfits and acting as if they are waiting for a bus in a bus-stop. They pretend to be shopping walking in front of software engineers whom they are targeting.

The software engineers are also finding it pleasure to fall in the trap of such ladies for carnal pleasures at a few thousands of bucks.

But some junior artistes are very sane that they are trapping some affluent SW engineers in such away that they are deciding to marry. While a few cases are ending up with hasty marriages, some ladies are pulling out lakhs of rupees from SW engineers keeping them in emotional trap of marriage.

Yes, sex is very powerful tool that women may see the downfall from a man to kingdom!

Income Tax officers enjoying Tollywood Heroines

Lately, it is being noticed that the Income Tax officials have been focusing a lot on the cinema circuit. Their attacks started at Bollywood then came to Tollywood and now they have not even spared Mollywood as the top stars Mohanlal and Mammootty are going through few grilling sessions out there.

While most of the celebrities are doing their bit to resolve the matter, here is an update. This has to do with a top league heroine who also came under the IT scanner but she chose a different approach. It is heard that this hot babe got feelers from IT folks for an evening of drinks.

Understanding the inner meaning behind it, the heroine obliged. As a result, it is heard that while the chosen IT officers made the most of the night with her, the dusky beauty was able to come out of the IT net using her sexy hourglass curves and oomph factor as the net. Talk about mutual benefit folks!! Indeed, it is said that she got a waiver from getting a few crores of black money seized by IT officials with this offering.

So casting couch is not just limited to some directors and producers but also extended to some Income Tax officers.

'Namaste Telangana' News Paper failed to attract in Telangana region?

It was with great hype and hoopla the newspaper ‘Namaste Telangana’ was launched and sources say the man behind that is TRS head K Chandrasekhar Rao. Speculations were making rounds that this would give a very tough fight to big players like Eenadu, Sakshi in the Telangana region.

However, a close source working with the T-movement and based in Warangal came up with an interesting fact. He revealed “Namaste Telangana got huge opening response like a big hero’s film Anna. Right in the first week, the subscription touched one lakh fifty thousand copies.”

He added “But within one week, it came down drastically. The number came to sixty thousand and those who took it in beginning have gone back to Eenadu and Sakshi. They cannot be blamed because if you read ‘Namaste Telangana’ you will notice that most of the things are taken from Andhra Jyothi and other newspapers and rewritten. And the quality is very poor. Overall, the newspaper has become an utter failure in Telangana.”

Telangana Cable Operators to ban TV9 New Channel in Telangana region?

The leading Telugu news channel TV9 has earned the wrath of the Telangana protagonists because of its alleged biased coverage of events pertaining to the statehood movement.

The stand-off has now reached a flashpoint with the Telangana Cable Operators’ Joint Action Committee deciding to boycott the channel across the region from Monday.

As a result, the channel will be blacked out in the region till it mends its ways. The JAC has issued notices to this effect to the Telangana MSOs (Multiple System Operators).

The JAC has accused the TV9 management of adopting a deliberate anti-Telangana stand and twisting the developments to suit its position.

The latest incident that triggered the confrontation was the suicide of Yadi Reddy, a youth from Moinabad in Ranga Reddy district, in the heart of Delhi.

The Cable Operators’ JAC has alleged that TV9 had deliberately blacked out the coverage. The suicide incident was completely ignored by the channel. It was not mentioned even as a scroll.

However, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi legislator T Harish Rao beating up an official of the Andhra Pradesh Bhavan was played up by the channel. It repeatedly showed the footage.
