Should we appreciate the tolerance of the deer for giving a striking pose or the courage of the bird sitting pretty between the ears ?

There is no respect for Party President. He is standing and the Karnataka CM is sitting . Wah re wah....

So we are slowly coming to know who is behind the Nirav gate. 

I wont think Mamooty can do justice to portray the tall figure of YSR. Even Jagan wont agree.

And we thought only established political parties have the knack to promise or wont keep the word and even talk negative. But Kamala Hassan has not even proved his presence and yet talking negative about Total Prohibition ? Super Machhi 

Forget about local and National media, even Khaleej Times carried detailed coverage of Actress late Sridevi cremation. That is the power of being a iconic actress.

Mamta Banerjee government has really gone mad and she is destroying all Hindu temples.

This is too much. After demonstrating how Sri Devi could have died in bath tub, republic reporter to lie on burning Chita to demonstrate how her body will be reduced to ashes.

The passing away of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetadhipathi Jayendra Saraswathi is a great loss. But his demise was not given importance as all the news channels are busy in live telecasting the funeral procession and last rites of Sridevi

Now a days even animals are photo fanatics as they wont fear when we click. Great pose.

So women getting attention in Railways. Good that Modi Government cares for women and their plight

This kind of forced imposition of Hindi in South India draws flak from public

  What a downfall from Congress party. They want to show their "performance" report even in condolence message ?

When the animals know how to adjust with the given circumstances, then why the human beings stretch their wants for no win.

In this image we find lots of emotions. Sharukh was happy to meet PM. Modi was awestruck. Guru Jaggi Vasudev also mesmerised with their meeting ?

The best tribute paid to actress Sridevi who passed away so suddenly to the utter shock of her fans and followers

வாட்ஸாப் செய்தியா வந்தப்ப வதந்தின்னு தான் நினைச்சேன். யாரிடமும் உண்மையான்னு விசாரிக்ககூட நினைக்கலை. அவ்வளவு நம்பிக்கை அவங்களுக்கு ஏதும் ஆகியிருக்காதுன்னு.
குக்கிராமத்தில பிறந்து இந்திய அளவில் கொடி நாட்டிய மயிலே, ஒரு படபிடிப்பு மரணம் போல மறுபடி எழுந்து வந்திட மாட்டீங்களா?

May be in near future the tourists visiting Hyderabad would appreciate Charminar and Salarjung Museum sitting in the Metro train as the TS government gave nod to Hyderabad Metro train services extended to old city.

With the state government giving its approval for the construction of Metro Rail in Old City, the residents of that part of the city can rejoice.

In a bid to kick-start the works as early as possible, the state government will be writing to L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad.

Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao held a review meeting recently where he instructed the Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) authorities to begin work on the six km Metro stretch in the Old City.

Now the Hyderabad two wheeler users will be vying for this helmet as they want to wear it compulsorily and at the same time face the summer heat.

As summer approaches, those working at construction sites, cement and steel factories and other outdoor work sites are a worried lot.

Now, some comfort appears to be available for them, with a city-based company coming up with an air-conditioned helmet to keep the hot sun at bay.

Jarsh Company’s helmet is powered by a rechargeable battery, and the air-conditioning lasts from two hours to eight hours, depending on the battery capacity. It can be recharged like a mobile phone. Besides being comfortable to wear, the helmet is durable and more importantly, using this helmet will not result in any hair loss, company representatives claimed.

Set up by a team of engineering graduates, Jarsh designed the helmet in September 2016. Over 85 per cent of the components are used from the local market. After developing 40 prototypes, the company distributed the helmets to the Eastern Naval Command and a few companies to test them.

“Based on the feedback, a few minor changes were made in the design and now we are gearing up to manufacture nearly 3,000 helmets this summer at our Medchal unit. Each helmet costs Rs 5,000,” said Kausthub Kaundinya, Chief Executive Officer, Jarsh.

Weighing 250 grams heavier than the conventional ones, these helmets are ideal for people working in cement, steel and construction sites and not meant for two-wheelers. The idea is to help workers stay cool and shortly a few helmets will be distributed to the City Traffic Police personnel too, he said.

The Telangana government, especially RICH, has helped us a lot in obtaining the certifications, connections and approvals from the Indian Medical Council etc, he added.

She was the most beautiful and talented actress in South Indian cinemas. Then she got the legacy of maintaining a big political party which she did with elan. Single handedly she did gave sleepless nights to DMK patriarch Karunanidhi. She was the powerful women leader of all time in India. Unfortunately her end came to the shock of every one. Today is her birthday. Our fond remembrance of this great Iron lady.

Is that so ?

The world no longer sees India as part of 'fragile five' but is talking about it's goal of becoming a '$5 trillion economy'. India's share in world GDP has jumped to 3.1% from 2.4% in just last 4 years. It had taken 8 years during previous UPA government to achieve similar jump!

Nice comparison. Can any one dispute ?

Roof  top gardening is gaining momentum in Hyderabad as many independent house owners are having paddy, vegetables and even fruits grown there under their own nurture. Why should you lag behind ?

Timely photo captured tells the true story as ATM's fail to cater to the needs of people

Kudos to this cartoon creator who has naturally brought in the happenings of fraud at PNB

எனது ரசிகர்களுக்கு யாரும் அரசியல் பாடம் கற்று கொடுக்க தேவையில்லை.. அவர்கள் மற்றவர்களுக்கு கற்றுக்கொடுப்பார்கள் : Rajnikanth

But see that your followers wont jump to Kamala Hassan camp , as he is surging ahead with great speed and you have paused ?

காவிரி பிரச்சினைக்காக எம்.பி. பதவியை ராஜினாமா செய்யத் தயார் - திருச்சியில் அன்புமணி ராமதாஸ் பேட்டி

Why he should resign the MP post. By being in position, one can argue in Parliament and the people who elected him would also knows the real work done by him for the state.

Some times nature formations would mesmerise our thoughts from heart

What the hell Choksi is telling to ED. He must be nabbed while travelling. When the cat is out, he must be arrested. No more time please, otherwise they may take loan from other banks to settle the issue ?

Surely this should be a eye opener for all of us. We invariably use plastics even though it was banned and that goes into the stomach of cows which intake them by default. 

Is it justifiable to collect GST from temples which serve food for the devotees.? The govt has charged 2,00,00,000 as GST from Golden temple Amritsar for service free food for the past seven months. There must be meaningful collection of GST.

Four parents had to go to jail after their minor children were caught riding two-wheelers. Police caught the minors — who are from Bahadurpura, Malakpet and Asifnagar — during routine vehicle inspection drives in January and February.

Police booked cases against the persons in whose name the vehicles were registered. In all four cases, the fathers of the minors were the ones to face the music, with the court sentencing them to imprisonment.

Of the four cases, three parents had to be behind bars for one day, while one had to serve a two-day sentence, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) AV Ranganath, adding that the punishment for the minors was in the form of fines that they had to pay.

Though the minors in these four cases were not involved in any accidents, City Traffic Police officials say the approach would be the same, or even tougher, if minors driving vehicles got involved in accidents.

“In accidents wherein minors are involved, parents will be held responsible and their roles will be examined during the court hearing,” a senior official said, adding that the police would argue for a stringent approach towards minors driving vehicles and to get the parents punished first.

So this news must alert the parents, who see a charm in giving the vehicles to children who are still not perfect in driving and yet take pride that the child knows good driving skill.

The main challenge of a photographer that he wont get the emotions of all the persons at right time and he has to seek cooperation. But these dogs seems to have understood his great problem and instantly cooperated for a photo shot without even quarrelling with each other. Kudos to the photographer

Now that Kamala Hassan started his new party with a people friendly name #makkalneedhimaiam  Makkal Needhi Maiam, surely there would hoards of rejected candidates from other parties wants to have their presence and say in the new party. My request to Kamala Hassan, please do not encourage politicians who have not done anything. Instead take Intellectuals and Intelligent people who are yearning for a great exposure and I bet you will be the great winner.

In life also if some one gives us a lift of success, surely every one would be the winner. But those who are well off and can give a push never do so. I pity with them for their lack of foresightedness.

And who says girls lack courage. Here is the tall example of Avani who was first to fly the MIG 21. Kudos to her for taking female world to great highs.

This is the name of new political party started by Kamala Hassan. The name itself is different from main stream political parties name and that makes huge difference. The meaning one can churn out that Justice for all is the motto of the new party. Hope a new political avatar takes place through a person who done 10 avatar in reel life. Our best wishes and support would follow.

By choosing the right launch pad, Kamala Hassan sent a strong message to the TN voters. That they hence forth need not depend between AIADMK and DMK. A new force is reckoning. Our best wishes for a sure change in TN.

Sarkaar Imandaar ho to sab kuch copy karengay kya ? Why some people does not know how to copy ?How the give it up campaign by BJP and NDA government has been copied and the AAP has given the same image. What a shame. 

Surely a bomb can be detected before hand and even be defused , but a scam comes to light after everything has been swindled and recovering part a remote chance. Hence scam is more scaring to every one ?

We are fed up with huge scams after scam and mind it , they are coming out when the beneficiaries not paying and then what about concealed details of defaulters who are also dodging ?


The CBI has registered a case against Rotomac pen promoter Vikram Kothari and his family in connection with a case related to the alleged swindling of Rs 3,695 crore of bank loan funds, officials said here on Monday.

The scam was earlier estimated at around Rs 800 crore.

The case against Kanpur-based Rotomac Global Pvt Limited, its director Vikram Kothari, his wife Sadhana Kothari, and son Rahul Kothari and unidentified bank officials was filed on a complaint received from Bank of Baroda, they said.

The agency searched three locations in Kanpur, including Kothari’s residence and office premises.

There have been no arrests in the case yet, CBI spokesperson Abhishek Dayal categorically said.

He said Kothari, his wife and his son are being examined by the CBI, which is conducting the searches.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also registered a money laundering case against Kothari and his family members in connection with the alleged bank loan fraud of Rs 3,695 crore, officials said.

The case was filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), after studying the CBI FIR that was registered on Sunday.

The ED, the officials said, would probe if the funds obtained through the alleged fraud were laundered and if the proceeds of the crime were subsequently used by the accused to create illegal assets and black money.

According to the complaint from Bank of Baroda, the conspirators allegedly cheated a consortium of bank loans of Rs 3,695 crore, including the interest component, officials said.

The principal involved is Rs 2,919 crore.

This is the second major financial scam to break out after the sensational Rs 11,400 crore fraud allegedly committed by billionaire jewellery designer Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi, who is a promoter of Gitanjali group of companies.

Both fled the country before the Punjab National Bank realised the depth of the alleged crime.

At a time when transgender people are struggling to find dignified employment, an intersex trans woman from the city has landed a prestigious job with the Central government.

Ganga Bhavani, 32, was born in Anantapur with neither male nor female reproductive organs, and decided to identify herself as a woman at the age of 14, against the wishes of her family.

On Tuesday, Ganga landed the job of a researcher at the National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (NIRD), an autonomous organisation based in Rajendranagar here and functioning under the aegis of the Union Ministry of Rural Development.

This once again proves that there is a scope for every to surge ahead. They should not demean themselves. Congrats to Ganga Bhavani.

Clever speech by @narendramodi in Mysuru. 1) He lauded Kuvempu, Vishveshwaraiah etc, but left out Tippu. People loved it. 2) He talked of Congress scam diary, but didn't take name. 3) He slammed Mysuru man Siddaramaiah in Mysuru, without taking name

Rahul Gandhi must learn from PM Modi on how to talk at what place and even without naming them. Clever speech by PM has to be appreciated.

When the parents and well wishers insists that students must be kept away from cell phones. And here TN government comes with free wifi in 318 government schools. So less studies and more chatting my students and teachers.

"Scientists have claimed to have detected anti-cancer properties in three traditional varieties of rice found in Chhattisgarh.A research has concluded that three medicinal varieties of rice – Gathwan, Maharaji and Laicha – have the ability to fight cancer, said scientist Deepak Sharma.The research was conducted by the Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV), Raipur and the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) Mumbai.

These varieties were taken from the rice germplasm bank preserved in IGKV, said Sharma, principal scientist at the genetics and plant breeding department of the agriculture university.The three varieties of rice have properties to cure lungs and breast cancers without affecting normal cells, Sharma told PTI.

Of them, Laicha has been found to be the most effective in preventing proliferation of cancer cells and destroying them, he said.Last year, IGKV, affiliated to the University Grants Commission, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with BARC for carrying out a range of research on various crops."

See our farmers have great ability of a scientist to produce such varieties of rice which can fight the cancer. And what the government makes them run pillar to post for MSP.(Minimum support price )

"In its guidelines on childbirth and care for pregnant women released last week, World Health Organisation (WHO) has quite forcefully suggested that obstetricians should wait till all options for normal delivery are exhausted before deciding to take up cesarean sections.

While health officials here are gearing up to adopt these new WHO guidelines on childbirth in State-run hospitals, the fact, however, remains that cesarean sections are increasingly being seen by families as a convenience rather than a medical procedure to be taken up as a last resort."

The above guidelines seems to be patient friendly. But can we expect that sincerity in doctors who spent crores to complete studies and wont earn later ?

Then do not blame the poor voters in case you happen to face defeat. First be in a party and start your own if you get confidence.

Once more it has proven that given the right impetus , children can perform and even out smart others in any competitive exams. PM Modi must take this and encourage other parents 

When the banks cannot maintain ATM's better close them for ever. Why take the account holders for a ride ?

The crunch is back. Reminding many of the tough days soon after the November 2016 demonetisation announcement, several bank ATMs have run dry in the city over the last week.

The once ubiquitous ‘No Cash’ boards are now back in front of many ATMs, with customers being forced to return disappointed after trying their luck at several ATMs.

Even ATM kiosks on the premises of many banks are in the same league, with bank officials throwing their hands up over the shortage of cash.

“It is the same with most bank ATMs, not of just one particular bank. Moreover, if we manage to find one ATM that has cash, it will have only Rs 2000 notes, not Rs 500 or lesser denomination notes. Even that is a rare scenario,” said one customer in Banjara Hills.

The situation in some banks too was no different. Customers who were disappointed at ATMs tried their luck at banks too, where officials told them that there was a cash shortage and the maximum they could withdraw was Rs 20,000.

In fact, TRS MP B Vinod Kumar had earlier this week written to Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley asking him to ensure cash in banks and ATMs in the State.

“Almost all ATMs in the State have ‘no cash’ signs hanging,” he wrote, pointing out that many people were in serious trouble because of the cash shortage.

One of the largest and oldest news broadcasters in the world, BBC News, has said that Hyderabad is giving Bengaluru ‘a run for its money’ as a startup destination in India.In a 2.13-minute video story titled ‘A tale of two Indian tech cities’, produced by Pamela Parker and Medhavi Arora, startups in Hyderabad explain why they like the city and why they chose Hyderabad over Bengaluru, which for years, BBC says, has enjoyed a reputation as the darling of India’s tech industry.

   Thanks KTR for bringing the old glory to Hyderabad

Came across this wonderful tweet, It just coincides with every ones thinking

If @TheOfficialSBI can deduct for not maintaining the minimum balance, why they're not liable to pay for not maintaining the ATMs
Now, time has come for KYB (Know Your Bank)

What is common in all those four images ? All starts with word P

Nice quote and useful for those who knows multi language

Wow what a nice cartoon. Hats off to the thought provoking cartoon creator and shame on the banks which give customers money to big fraudsters.

காவிரி விவகாரத்தை இரு மாநிலங்களும் அரசியலாக்க கூடாது -நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசன் பேட்டி.

Kamala Hassan has urged not to make political about cauvery water dispute between two states. Now he started to interfere and talk politics. Right move.

Thanks Prime Minister Modi, for elevating the Tamil Language and its importance. He says Tamil is the oldest language than Sanskrit and regret not having learned that.

சமஸ்கிருதத்தை விட தொன்மையான மொழி தமிழ் - டெல்லியில் மாணவர்களின் தேர்வு பயத்தை போக்கும் கருத்தரங்கில் பிரதமர் மோடி பேச்சு * தமிழ் கற்றுக்கொள்ளாதது வருத்தம் அளிக்கிறது - பிரதமர் மோடி

Frankly speaking such banners should appear on the Indo -Pak border so that cross border infiltration could be stopped.

The air pollution in Hyderabad is rising year after year. Are we going to have the situation like Delhi in future. Wake up. TS government, ensure clean air for the citizens. Reduce vehicles.

Then why the hell he is staying in India. Deport him at once for the sake of Congress , otherwise he will alone be responsible for Congress debacle in future.

* ரஜினி கர்நாடகாவில் அரசியல் செய்யட்டும், தமிழகத்தை தமிழர்கள் ஆளட்டும் - ராதாரவி..

What Actor Radha Ravi has said is absolutely right. Rajnikanth is not having confidence on himself as he is not a Tamilian or belong to Tamil Nadu. So let him make politics in Karnataka and let the Tamils rule the state. This is what majority people wants.

Next time never throw away the bottles , instead use them wisely and for your comforts with much ease.
