In no movies of Rajni did he get a piece like the one composed by AR Rehman for the movie Muthu. It just gives the pulse and tempo.
Click here to goto the album and select the song “Oruvan Oruvan” for listening. The opening 40 seconds of this song forms the introduction part of Rajni in this movie.

Amway in Line of Fire

Amway office in Andhra Pradesh has been closed down on account of Police investigations following a complaint filed by one Satyanarayanan against his wife and accusing Amway. Would this be a setback for Amway India Operations, need to wait and watch. But of course, the case would fade away after some time and business as usual for Amway.
Amway as always and what is usual explain their business model and deny the allegations with a press release.

Amway’s business model is fine, all depends on the interpretation and implementation by the direct sellers.

Gym & Members

I have been thinking of this for past 2-3years having shifted many gyms in these years.
I think the gym instructors fail to or rather dont understand the body needs of a guy or a girl. Not everyone can do all exercises, it depends on each individuals type of body. A guy who is by nature slim would not be able to increase by doing heavy weights and neither can a guy who is fat gain anything by doing light weights.

Every guy who walks into gym wants to look like Arnold within 6months and keeps looking at the mirror every week to check how much he is to reach his target. Obviously if your body is not of the type how much ever weight put in would not result in a bulk like Arnold nor can one see results within a week or so except of course the body pain!!
Every second girl who walks into gym wants to look sleak & slim like Angeline Jolie. How much ever running & cycling & crunches she does a week or even a month is not enough to see the results.
There are another set of people who come to gym to shed the excess kilos of their body. Leave them for two weeks and after that if you ask them how its going, the immediate reply would be, “kya yaar kuch effect be nahin hai” or “enna panninalum korayave maatengudu” (English translation: there is no effect after doing regularly) These guys would definitely quit because they are looking for results from day one which is not possible. This is akin to saying, teacher taught alphabets of language on day one of schooling and day two the student should be able to write all the alphabets. Remember after 1hr of session on day one.
For any exam how many months we study before clearing the final exam?? Its just like that.
There are another set of guys who come to the gym and after few months when they are actually shaping up quit. Reasons, not able to get up early in the morning.. isnt it too cold?? Another reason, lot of work man..

Finally its our body, if we want to shape up we need patience, put in effort to be a regular, be determined, understand ones own body.

Education and controversy

Is it that when we say education there should be controversy surrounding it? First we had whole big fight over the new reservation norms brought out by Minister Arjun Singh at the center. Then few changes in text of NCERT books.
Can Bangalore be far behind then?

Here in Bangalore (Capital city of Karnataka) we have Education Minister Basvaraj Horatti closing down schools (close to 800, if media reports are to be believed) because they were not imparting education in the local language, Kannada. When I mention schools am talking of only Goverment Schools. How more silly can it get. Why did reservation came up because the under-priviliged students were not getting further education.
With shutting down schools when almost half the year is over our Minister is denying education to thousands of students. Many of whom belong to the so called under-priviliged community. Our Minister says, either teach them in Kannada or dont teach them. Why didnt he pass this before the school term began around June-July?
No education till 6th standard should be imparted in English. Think of students, my dear Minister. When these kids pass out of school they envy the others from other schools when they speak English fluently. This leads to inferiority complex. Instead of addressing such kind of issues Minister is happy doing what he thinks is the best solution.
There is a saying “Charity begins at home”. While the Minister shutdown schools for not teaching in Kannada his own children studied in Convent schools where they impart education in English (courtesy The New Indian Express on 21st September 2006).

Another Minister incharge for Higher Education DH Shankaramurthy wanted himself also to be in media. How else can he do it. He terms Tipu Sultan as anti-Kannada!!??And he also wants Tipu Sultan to be out of school text books.

How more crazy can the responsible Ministers become. While they are expected to do something on getting every child in state educated they are out to create controversy. They migh succeed for all that in appeasing the Kannada activists and increasing their vote bank all at cost of children’s education who form tomorrow’s India.

Thank you Ministers.
