Lingaa Rajinikanth's latest flick is disappointing to say the least. Rajni has lost his old fervour with his advancing age. His reflexes have withered. Gone is his action. Not a great dancer himself he use to make up this deficiency with his style. Even that has disappeared. The storyline is far from convincing. No wonder his film is a flop

AAP has scored a stunning victory in the Delhi Assembly polls.  Winning 67 out of the 70 assembly seats leaving BJP far behind with 3 seats and Congress with no score. This stunning victory was unexpected.  With PM Modi's high voltage campaign and with about 120 MPs and 13 ministers being deputed for the election the results have been a great dampner for the BJP.  Even AAP would not have expected to win with such a margin. Most of the pollsters got it wrong.  They predicted victory for AAP with a simple majority but not this margin.Only News24-Chanakya came near. Even they have predicted 48 seats for AAP and less than 20 for BJP. But nobody expected less than 5 for BJP. Winning election is one thing and sustaining this momentum for the next 5 years is another thing. Now the AAP can table the Jan lokpal bill which gave them an alibi to resign within 50 days of power in 2013 saying the opposition never allowed them to table the bill. Now Arvind Kejriwal has to prove t...

Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Ms. J.Jayalalithaa has been incarcerated. A CBI court on 27th of Sep.2014 convicted her on corruption charges on her disproportionate assets case which was initially filed by Dr. Subramanian Swamy way back in 1996 and later taken up by K. Anbhazagan of the DMK. The case was handled by CBI for these 18 long years judicially meandering and which now has culminated to its rightful conclusion that of convicting Ms.Jayalalithaa. She has been pronounced guilty as she could not give proper explanation for amassing Rs.66 crores while getting a salary of Rs.1 per month during the period of Chief Ministership from 1991 to 1996. She has been awarded  a sentence of 4 years imprisonment and a penalty of Rs.100 crores by Justice Micheal Cunha at the CBI Special Court at Bangaluru thus depriving her of her Chief Ministership and also debarring her from standing for elections for the TN Assembly which is due in May 2016. She and the AIADMK camp were very confident ...

Modi's five day's visit to the US has been a success in terms of popularity and the message he gave across to the NRI populace and the business persons there that he means business. He was able to successfully carry with him every one with finesse.  His address at the UN General Assembly snubbing the PAK premier without mentioning Kashmir but at the same time extending the olive branch with some thorns in it is to say that Modi was at his best. If all his intentions are translated into actions India I am sure will be a super power.

Yesterday I happened to view a programme--Sooriya vanakkam-- in Sun TV. The anchors interviewed 4 women all very ordinary people as part of the International Womens' Day. Two women were auto drivers. One woman is working as a lorry driver and another women Indrani, a person of many parts.She lives in Trichy. She works as a Call taxi driver, Auto Driver, Water woman ie. taking the water cans by vehicle and supplying to shops singly irrespective of the timings, JCB driver besides attending to her children. When she narrated her experiences it was really amazing. I wondered where does this woman find such energy!!! She has made in roads to areas which are dominated only by men folk. Hats of to her courage perseverance and indomitable spirit. When she narrated her experiences every one at the Studio including the anchors were awestuck. Hats off to Indrani!!!. May her tribe increase.
