Swimming with an Ocean Playmate

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 11:39:07 PDT

This highly intelligent aquatic mammal, reputed to have saved the life of many a shipwrecked sailor, has always been depicted as one of man’s best ocean friends. The largest of the beaked dolphins, it is named for its short, stubby beak which resembles the top or neck of a bottle. Bottlenose dolphins are believed to be highly intelligent and live in social groups, called schools or pods. They communicate with each other using distinctive whistles, clicks and body language.

Love of Mother

The Chief breeding season is between March and April. Dolphins will pair up briefly during this time when the male shows a preference for the company of a particular female. Courtship can be violent with much forceful bumping of heads.

Calves are born in midsummer in European waters and between February and May in Florida. So, strong is the attachment between mother and calf that females have been seen supporting dead calves at the surface of the water, as though trying to help them to breathe.

Acrobat of the sea

Bottlenose dolphins travel in family groups of one to 10 in coastal regions and p to 25 offshore, although schools of up to 500 have been recorded. Within these schools, they tend to spend time with like individuals. Females and young calves frequently band together, so do males. Often seen riding the bow wave of a boat and breaching (doing belly-flops), the bottlenose can leap several metres out of the water. It sleeps about eight hours a day, swims at speeds of around 20 km (12 miles) an hour and dives for up to 20 minutes at a depth of 300m (1,000 ft). Males fight viciously over females during the breeding season.

Danger Under the sea

Although still generally plentiful, bottlenose dolphins have been virtually wiped out in some places. They are hunted for meat and other products in parts of the world. In the pacific they are often drowned in tuna nets, although new dolphin-friendly nets are now being used more widely.

Recently there has been concern about man-made marine noise such as shipping sonar, which upsets whales and dolphins ability to feed, navigate and communicate. Evidence suggests that a military submarine detection system in which Low Frequency Active Sonar floods the oceans with noise is threatening the survival of whales and dolphins by destroying their hearing or causing their ears or lungs to haemorrhage.

Inventive Hunters

In the wild, bottlenose dolphins feed on around 8-15 kg (15-33 lb) of squid, shrimp, eels and other fish per day. They often hunt as a team, herding small fish ahead of them and picking off the stragglers; in some waters, they follow shrimp boats to feast on leftovers. Hunting techniques can vary a lot depending on location.

In South Carolina, USA, for instance, dolphins chase fish on to the shore and then roll up on the beach to catch them. However, in the Gulf of Mexico, bottlenoses have been seen stunning fish by tossing them in the air with their tail flukes and then picking them up from the surface. Some researches believe that they can stun their prey by producing loud noises.

Saina Nehwal wins the Indonesian Open..

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 04:08:50 PDT

Hello friends, everyone was busy in scrutinizing the performance of Indian cricket team in ICC T20 World Cup 2009. But in the mean time Saina Nehwal on June 21 won the Indonesian Open and created history by becoming the first Indian to win a Super series tournament.

Saina Nehwal was ranked No.8 and her opponent Lin Wang was ranked World No.3. Wang is from china took the first set comfortably 21-12 but after that set onwards Saina took control of the second set and won it 21-18 and the final set was won by Saina comfortably 21-9. Saina clinched title and score was 12-21, 21-18, 21-9. Jakarta audience saw a new champion from India first time.

Presently Saina Nehwal coach is former All England Champion Pullela Gopichand. Saina Nehwal lost to Lin Wang in Singapore Open last week and it was good revenge taken by her in this tournament. After this win, Badminton Association of India announced a cash prize of Rs. 2 Lakh as recognition but this amount is very small compared to what the cricketers of India is given. Anyhow, I salute Gopichand for coaching Saina Nehwal very well.

Finally I am happy for Saina Nehwal because her hard work and dedication paid off for her. She made India proud and hats off to her lifting the spirits of Indians. I hope one day people of India show more interest in sports like Badminton, Boxing, Hockey, Soccer, Tennis and Table Tennis other than cricket. Audience has power to change the fate of any sport and it is sad that Indonesian Open is not covered live by any major channel in India. I had to see some clips in news channel instead of watching the full match.

Reservations is a menace in Indian society

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Sat, 30 May 2009 01:42:32 PDT

Hi friend's, reservations is a menace in Indian society. Politicians to get votes are not stopping these reservations and creating classes between each community. Some of the below cartoons are made on reservation. These cartoons are carrying lot of message... I hope in future this reservation system completely be removed.. It is just a blind hope because since my childhood I am hoping reservation is removed but it is not happening even I have become an adult. So, it is hard to change this reservation system in India and one should learn to live with it....

The women in life

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Sat, 23 May 2009 03:16:24 PDT

Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.
Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;
One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements
One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;
One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name
One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen
One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain;to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;
One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;
Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply
Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise
One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;
One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important, relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her;
One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.
But not many guys understand this......

No value for merit

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:23:08 PST

Hi friends,

JUST SOME THOUGHTS TO SHARE!!!!

I was really upset and just wanted to share these things with all of you....I hope this problem is faced by many unemployed youth in India. Especially in india only!! After finishing you degree or any higher education people wont be getting jobs and that too if ur not from IITs or Other big institutes ...it does not happens in other countries. In other countries you can work while learning and can get job through campus or through the experience gained from your part time job...There is some way you can earn...

IN INDIA NOW A DAYS...

For getting a job either you should pay some huge amount to the company or have to put some fake experience...I have see some of my friends doing these things and thought there is no place for honesty.. My friend who finished PG without any hurdles and was college topper but what is the use? Even though after finishing his PG, still unemployed it may be due to demand in his field and the competition...but there should be some solution for this problem.

HAVE A NICE DAY AND YOUR THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS WELCOMED...

With lots of love Vamsi…

How to avoid heart disease

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 11:11:26 PST

No fat.

Fish and chicken only once a week.

A 45 minute brisk walk daily.

No chocolates, candies, sweets or soft drinks for children.An internationally renowned Kashmir-born US-based cardiologist has some tough advice for those who want to avoid heart disease.Dr Fayaz Shawl is currently director of interventional cardiology at Washington's Adventist Hospital. Known for having devised an interventional heart procedure named after him, Dr Shawl is presently visiting Kashmir."I have never given chocolates, cakes, toffee, candies or soft drinks to my 3-year-old daughter," he said.

"The best food for children is lots of fruits including strawberries, berries and peach. If you develop the right food habits among your children right from the beginning, they will carry them for life."

He rated smoking, high blood pressure, cholesterol (the bad one called LDL) triglycerides and diabetes as the major reasons for coronary heart disease.

Those leading a sedentary lifestyle faced the highest risk of contracting heart ailments, he said.

"Any physical activity like golf, gardening, working in the house etc is fruitful. Inactivity is an independent risk factor for heart problems."

Dr Shawl had very tough words for his fellow Kashmiris whom he blamed for "playing with their hearts."

"All we need is 20 grams of fat per day and one spoonful of edible oil gives us 14 grams. Imagine how much ghee and edible oil goes into the preparation of our traditional food?" he asked.

Cheers to all the bloggers.....................

I met Laxman

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 11:04:31 PST

I was going in a flight from Delhi to Hyderabad and I was sitting beside V.V.S.Laxman. I was surprised to find him on my right side. I asked him you are captain of Deccan Chargers and what are u doing here? He said, I am injured and gave my captaincy to Gilchrist. That is why for today only Gilchrist is the captain of Deccan Chargers. So, I asked "You are not playing future matches?", then he said "I will, but until then taking rest in Hyderabad". As if this was not enough i was stunned by his next comment. He asked me if I have ever played Cricket. I said "I represented my college at District level and got chance in the State team". Then he said," Then why don't you take my place as the captain of The Deccan Chargers?". I was stunned and was speechless for several seconds. I didn’t understand if he was serious. He said “If you don't believe me then I will call the team manager and confirm it." and before I could respond he made the call and confirmed. I was very happy and excited. I thanked him profusely and accepted the position gratefully. Suddenly Airhostess of the flight had shouted excuse me and I was surprise to find that it was dream and very sweet one. All the passengers in the flight by that time have left the flight and I was only one who was last to leave the flight.

Little Love [touching story]

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 22:55:24 PST

What Love is?

The story begins like this…

‘How long will you be poring over that newspaper? Will you come here right away and make your darling daughter eat her food?’

I tossed the paper away and rushed to the scene. My only daughter Sindu looked frightened. Tears were welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a bowl filled to its brim with Curd Rice.

Sindu is a nice child, quite intelligent for her age. She has just turned eight. She particularly detested Curd Rice. My mother and my wife are orthodox, and believe firmly in the ‘cooling effects’ of Curd Rice!

I cleared my throat, and picked up the bowl. "Sindu, darling, why don’t you take a few mouthful of this Curd Rice? Just for Dad’s sake, dear. And, if you don’t, your Mom will shout at me.’

I could sense my wife’s scowl behind my back. Sindu softened a bit, and wiped her tears with the back of her hands. ‘OK, Dad. I will eat - not just a few mouthfuls, but the whole lot of this. But, you should…’ Sindu hesitated. ‘Dad, if I eat this entire Curd Rice, will you give me whatever I ask for'

‘Oh sure, darling’.

‘Promise’

‘Promise’. I covered the pink soft hand extended by my daughter with mine, and clinched the deal.

‘Ask Mom also to give a similar promise’, my daughter insisted. My wife slapped her hand on sindu’s, muttering ‘Promise’, without any emotion.

Now I became a bit anxious. ‘Sindumma, you shouldn’t insist on getting a computer or any such expensive items. Dad does not have that kind of money right now. OK’

‘No, Dad. I do not want anything expensive’. Slowly and painfully, she finished eating the whole quantity. I was silently angry with my wife and my mother for forcing my child eat something that she detested.

After the ordeal was through, Sindu came to me with her eyes wide with expectation. All our attention was on her. ‘Dad, I want to have my head shaved off, this Sunday!’ was her demand!

‘Atrocious!’ shouted my wife, ‘a girl child having her head shaved off Impossible!’.

‘Never in our family!’ my mother rasped. ‘She has been watching too much of television. Our culture is getting totally spoiled with these TV programs!’

‘Sindumma, why don’t you ask for something else? We will be sad seeing you with a clean-shaven head.’

‘No, Dad. I do not want anything else’, Sindu said with finality.

‘Please, Sindu, why don’t you try to understand our feelings?’ I tried to plead with her.

‘Dad, you saw how difficult it was for me to eat that Curd Rice’. Sindu was in tears. ‘And you promised to grant me whatever I ask for. Now, you are going back on your words. Was it not you who told me the story of King Harishchandra, and its moral that we should honour our promises no matter what?’

It was time for me to call the shots. ‘Our promise must be kept.’

‘Are you out your mind?’ chorused my mother and wife.

‘No. If we go back on our promises, she will never learn to honour her own. Sindu, your wish will be fulfilled.’

With her head clean-shaven, Sindu had a round-face, and her eyes looked big & beautiful.

On Monday morning, I dropped her at her school. It was a sight to watch my hairless Sindu walking towards her classroom. She turned around and waved. I waved back with a smile. Just then, a boy alighted from a car, and shouted, ‘Sinduja, please wait for me!’

What struck me was the hairless head of that boy. ‘May be, that is the in-stuff’, I thought.

‘Sir, your daughter Sinduja is great indeed!’ Without introducing herself, a lady got out of the car, and continued, ‘That boy who is walking along with your daughter is my son Harish. He is suffering from … leukaemia.’

She paused to muffle her sobs. ‘Harish could not attend the school for the whole of the last month. He lost all his hair due to the side effects of the chemotherapy. He refused to come back to school fearing the unintentional but cruel teasing of the schoolmates. Sinduja visited him last week, and promised him that she will take care of the teasing issue. But, I never imagined she would sacrifice her lovely hair for the sake of my son! Sir, you and your wife are blessed to have such a noble soul as your daughter.’

I stood transfixed. And then, I wept. ‘My little Angel, will you grant me a boon? Should there be another birth for me, will you be my mother, and teach me what Love is?’

what is the true colours of Ponting

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 22:46:52 PST

Hi friends, “True Colours” is the book written by Mr. Gilchrist and in that he mentioned his views about the Sydney test incidents. Gilchrist had said something about Sachin in his book and the lines published from IBN live is shown below:

“Gilchrist writes that the Master Blaster shirks from a handshake if he ends on the losing side.

Describing the dramatic final moments on the final day of the Sydney Test, which India lost narrowly, Gilchrist says: "We went into the Indian changing room and shook hands. Not all their players could be found, which points to another subtle cultural difference. In the Australian mentality, we play it hard and are then quick to shake hands and leave it all on the field. Some of our opponents don't do it that way. Sachin Tendulkar, for instance, can be hard to find for a changing room handshake after we have beaten India. Harbhajan can also be hard to find."

Gilchrist's views make it clear that he isn't a fan of Tendulkar, who has been a hugely admired figure in Australia ever since he first played in the country as a teenager in 1991-92.

Gilchrist not only accuses Tendulkar of being a bad sport, but also goes on to criticise his role in the 'monkeygate' scandal involving Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds earlier this year in Australia.”

If all the above said lines are true then Gilchrist is talking about a Legend from India and that is Sachin. After infamous test match in Sydney, no player will be sporting enough to give a hand shake if that match is won with the help of umpires and cheating the opponent team players. But Indian players gave handshakes on the field. Gilchrist and his teammates were criticized by their own country for their on field activity. They lost their respect from public. It is not compulsory that all the players should be like Gilchrist to go into opponent’s dressing room to give a handshake. It is the choice of the player whether to give handshake in the opponent room or not.

I would like to tell that Indian players should write a book about the Umpiring on Sydney test which played without sporting spirit by the Aussies players. Ponting showing finger to umpire and umpire declaring out should also be written in the book. Never seen a match played so badly in my whole life.

Sachin is always sportive according to me, in past 18 years of his career, I never saw him talking aggressively to opponent team players. But he was dragged into the Harbhajan issue with all false accusation by the Aussies. Cricket Australia, BCCI and ICC had handled the racial issue very badly in my view and Mike Proctor then match referee decisions to ban Harbhajan Singh for 2 tests and fine was over ruled by the ICC. ICC had no answer to Indian team question about the poor umpiring which cost them a match. So, to cover up all the issues which were gone out of proportion, ICC had let Harbhajan go free and removed Steve Buckner. Here again black umpire was removed and the other umpire Benson who too had given bad decision was let off.

What ICC should have done is to continue the ban on Harbhajan for all his mistakes on field and the Sydney test should have been made unofficial and the series would have been draw instead of India losing the series. Both the umpires should have been suspended for few series. Gilchrist is waking up the issue which was history again and again doing it when his team is losing the present series. To bring down the moral of Indian players, all these cheap talks are coming out.

After that incident, Mr. Ponting again gave statement and I came across an article in Rediff.com “Ponting defended Andrew Symonds, who had accused Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh of racially abusing him, and said the all-rounder was genuinely "hurt" by what had been hurled at him.

The Australian skipper said when he heard Michael Clarke yell across to him at the SCG about Harbhajan Singh, "He's done it again ... he just called Symmo a monkey again", he was just rooted to the ground.

"I wouldn't say (Clarke's) words sent a chill up my spine or anything that sinister, but they certainly stopped me in my tracks," Ponting recounted in his book an extract of which was published in The Herald Sun.

"(I thought) I've got to act on it. I talked to Symmo, to get his version ... then I went over and told umpire Mark Benson what we believed had just gone on, and I asked him to do something about it.”

My point is that Aussies players who use the words like F***, Mother F*****, Bast*** and other words. The bowlers of Australian team use these words to opponent players. These bowlers do not worry that the entire world is watching them on TV and camera’s are on. Who the hell had given right to speak such words to an opponent player. But ICC ignores such words, Indian players in the past use to ignore if such words were used. But now a day no one is taking such words anymore and all these was started by Aussies.

Racially abusing was also started by Aussies, Darren Lehmann was banned for speaking ill of Sri Lankan players. Dean Jones called an South African player terrorist and he was banned by Ten Sports but Ten Sports had taken him back him in the commentary team back. When Aussies do all such things then they will come up with some disgusting excuse.

Recently Ponting was banned in West Indies for questioning umpires decision and ban was possible because the Match referee is from Sri Lanka. If a referee like Chris Broad or someone else would listen to only the Aussies and will ban an umpire instead of Ponting. The present match referee for current series between India and Australia should have banned both Gambhir and Watson. This would have given a lesson to both the players but one was made scapegoat.

Ponting is saying that Clarke said that to him that Harbhajan again called Symonds Monkey. How can Ponting believe player like Clarke who had appealed for out when he had grounded the catch. Ok Clarke is his teammate, so, has to believe but here no one had clearly heard what Harbhajan had said to Symonds. All are assuming that he had said something and if they are really having guts then they should first learn how to play well against Harbhajan bowling and teach him a lesson. Instead of making statements in media that they are disappointed about the past incidences. Aussie players are trying to get sympathy for Symonds. But they are forgetting that they have used the abusive words on the opponent players as well.

It is Cricket Australia which removed Symonds for the present series in India because Clarke complained that Symonds is not listening to him and not attended the team management meeting. Symonds commitment was questioned by their board and the Aussies players are giving a twist that Harbhajan incident had made Symonds lost the commitment for the national side. Cricket Australia board do not like to hear such excuses and no player is bigger than the game and rightly sacked Symonds from the team.

Finally, for ever action there will be always an equal reaction. Aussies are not able to beat India like other teams, so, accusing the top players of Indian team. That's all for now, come up with more.

With lots of love,

Madhu Vamsi. :)

This is the story of Reality shows

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:41:37 PST

Hello friends, these days when you on a TV Reality Shows are shown repeatedly all the day in some channels like Sony, Star Plus, Zee etc. First major reality shows which became popular was Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in 1995 and at that time Sonu Nigam was the anchor. In this show singers use to sing their own composed songs or composed songs of their gurus. The judges were also great legends like O. P. Nayyar, Naushad and Talat Aziz etc. The highlight of this show was no quarrels between the judges or contestants or no sympathy stories of contestants. No voting system was used to decide the winner of the contest. That is why this show had produced good playback singers like Shreya Ghoshal (winner of 1996 and Mega final 1999) and Kunal Ganjawala (participated in 1997 and again in 1998).

As years passed on, suddenly public started showing interest towards these reality shows and popularity increased for these shows. I don't know which gentleman got the idea of public voting, this type of voting has suddenly spoiled the reality show's thrill. Like politicians, the contestants started begging for vote and judges started cursing the public for choosing a wrong person as winner, etc. But I would blame the production team of these reality shows for putting such a system to gain profits for their channel. If the Channels are interested in this voting system, then it is their responsibility to see that the judges show more restraint while talking on the show and do not criticize or blame the public.

In almost all the reality shows, we are listening songs from the contestants which have already been sung by famous playback singers in the films. So, no originality is left in these shows and it looks very disgusting and indecent when judges argue or quarrel with each other. These judges are showing very bad example of behavior to youngsters or budding stars.

The auditions for Indian Idol are being presently shown on Sony channel and one of the judges, Mr. Anu Malik is making fun of some contestants. Unfortunately one Doctor participated and Anu Malik made fun of him. I found this very improper because if anyone's singing is not fine then one should not make fun of that person. Not everybody is master in singing and one should give respect and take respect. Anu Malik's voice is also very horrible while singing but he still sings in films because he is son of some famous music director of the past. Even now he did not change his voice and still sings songs in very horrible manner.

I feel Indian Idol production team should go to arts colleges or to places where singers are taking training instead of going on to the roads and asking ordinary public to participate in Indian Idol. When these contestants come for audition, the judges make fun of them, which looks sick. I already lost respect on Anu Malik for the way he talks with contestants and with other judges, as if he is only music director on this earth who knows more about singing.

Many of the reality shows these days are highlighting the personal life of contestants as if he is the only person on the earth who is having problems in life. There are hundreds of poor people who are struggling daily for food and employment. Highlighting their personal life and showing all the family plights is like an act being shown for gaining the sympathy of public. It is true that most people who are participating in these shows have problems, but showing them on the TV is not meaningful. When singing is the ultimate challenge here then one should show how much the contestant has learned after coming into the contest and how well he is performing instead of all the other issues.

Sooner or later these reality shows will make contestants to fight with each other, question the judges (which has already been done in one show), etc. Finally, I want to ask all my friends what are the winners of the contestants doing after their win. They are either anchoring in a reality show or participating in another reality show. No music director is giving them chance on regular basis.

I want to let you all know that A.R. Rehman, the famous and legendary music director is the person who had started a music school in Chennai and other regions of India. He is a music director, who has given chance to number of new talented singers in his films. Hat's off to him. He talks less and shows the results. Not like Himesh Reshammiya or Anu Mallik, who speak too much and do less, that's all for now.

Signing off with love,

Vamsi....

Dasavathaaram Explanation

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 13:06:13 PST

Hi friends, Good evening, Recently a movie called "Dasavathaaram" was released in different languages in India. I want to share the explanation given for each character that Kamal Hassan has played in the movie.

Avtaar 1:

Rama Avatar and character name is avatar singh-> Lord Rama stands for the one man and one women maximum, kind of symbolising true love. Here avatar portrays that spirits by saying that he loves his woman more than anything and wants to live for her.

Avtaar 2:

Kalki Avatar and character name Govindaraj Ramasamy, As you know, the hero in Kaliyug can be none other than the Kalki Avatar.

Avtaar 3:

Balarama Avatar and Character name, as the name suggests and the role personifies Balaram Naidu Law officer and helps to kill the villain.

Avtaar 4:

Krishna Avatar and character name Vincent Poovaraghavan, Lord Krishna is actually a dalit, he is dark-skinned(Shyamalam). He saved draupadi when she was being violated and he was the actual diplomat in Mahabharatham. Lord krishna dies of an arrow striking his lower leg. Now look at how vincent was introduced. He appears when asin is about to be molested and he saves her like draupadi. Vincent is the dalit diplomat, fights for land issue (soil issue to be exact) and dies from the metal rod striking his leg. Oh even five of Vincent's men are drugged at P.Vasu's...sounds familiar???

Avtaar 5:

Parasurama Avatar and character name Christian Fletcher. Parasurama is actually on an angry killing spree and killed 21 generations of the particular Kshatriya vamsa. Hence the real killer.. Guess what thats what our Fletchers is! He comes around with the gun (modern upgrade for axe) and kills everyone around.

Avtaar 6:

Vamana avatar and character name Kalifulla Khan. Remember in vamana avatar, lord vishnu takes the vishvaroopa, that is the giant form! Hence the giant Kalifulla here symbolises vamana avatar.

Avtaar 7:

Narasimha avatar and character name Shingen Narahashi. First of all the name itself is a play on the words singam(means lion in tamil) and Narasimha (the avatar being symbolised). Lord Narasimha manifests himself to kill the bad guy and he also teaches prahaladha. In the movie, he shows up tp kill the killer fletcher! and is also a teacher.. Lord Narasimha had to kill the asura with bare hands and hence the martial arts exponent here...

Avtaar 8:

Varaha avatar and the character name krishnaveni Paatti. In varaha avatar lord actually hides earth so as to protect life forms. Here too krishnaveni hides the germs- life form inside the statue so as to protect.

Avtaar 9:

Koorma avatar and character name Bush. The real Koorma avatar, the local is the turtle/tortoise that helps in stirring the ksheera sagara and bringing out the amruth. This essentially creates war among the devas and asuras. Similarly today Bush facilitates war between you know whom.. May be Kamal also indicates that this avatar is a bit dumb like the tortoise...

Avtaar 10:

Macha Avatar and character name Nambi. Nambi is thrown into water in an act of trying to save lord from being thrown into sea.

I hope you liked it...That's all for now and with love signing off...

Hopeless coverage by DD SPorts

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:46:46 PST

Hi friends, good afternoon to all of you. I love sports very much and when ever I get the time, I would sit before TV to view the Beijing Olympics which is covered by DD sports. But the coverage of Olympic Games was hopeless and the commentary team and anchors were also hopeless.

The funny part of the commentary team was given by one of the DD sports commentator who is blindly commenting. I was watching the Kayak event and the time was around 2.00 pm. The Portugal team was leading in the race but from the starting of the race commentator continuously saying that Hungary team was leading in the race and will win the Gold medal. I thought the commentator will correct his mistake because there was no hungry team in that race. But Mr. Avatar Singh (he was some sardar, I did not exactly remember the name) continuously saying that Hungry was leading and he was shouting like a radio commentator. I thought he might not have lunch and feeling hungry that is why he is shouting Hungry was leading. This is the standard of commentators of the DD sports very funny.

What I did not like with DD sports is the way the games and events were shown on channel. I was watching the water pole game interestingly between Australia vs Hungry and sudden the stupid and irritating anchors appeared and started telling the Olympic updates without the time sense. The Olympic update was like reading some news and no highlights were shown. After the update the anchors suddenly taken into a wrestling match and never showed the Water pole game which was interrupted. From the first day of Olympics this is happening with DD sports. They have no proper sense, when to telecast, it is like a lottery and what ever the commentator likes he is shifting to that game which he likes and have some knowledge.

I am happy that India is bringing home atleast 3 medals (1Gold and 1Bronze already won; in boxing another medal is sure). I am impressed with the way the Chinese continent dominating the Olympics in their home. USSR was split into many small countries that is why Russia not able to regain the top spot or rank in the Olympics. USA was disappointing in the athletics but in swimming they were outstanding and credit goes to Michael Phelps (for winning 8 gold medals). Jamaica dominated the race tracks in athletics. Australia was disappointing in swimming and China’s domination continued in Badminton and Table tennis. In boxing Cuba’s main boxer shifted to heavy weight and new players were not able to dominate the boxing event. India had fielded 3 boxers and Vijender Kumar is the only one who is able to clear the quarterfinal and reached the semis.

India missed narrowly to move further into semi finals in Archery. The reason is making mistakes at the wrong time and Indian players lost the matches in Archery very narrowly. The most disappointing performance came from Anju Bobby George in Long Jump. She had jumped by over stepping and all her jumps were fouls and such hopeless performance came at a big event like Olympics. I hope government instead of giving such hefty prize money to the winning medalist, concentrate on the development of the sports facilities in India and develop the standard of games in India.

Finally, China is the highlight of the Beijing Olympics and they won more than 46 Gold medals and no other country is near them to overtake them. China will finish the games in the high note in my opinion…. That’s all for now

With lot of love,

Madhu Vamsi.

Spain are the champions of Euro championship

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 12:03:59 PST

Hello friends, good evening the finals between Germany and Spain of Euro 2008 were not as trilling as expected by me. The reason for that was the performance of Germany team, which was never allowed by Spain to settle down.

Spain mid-fielders and defenders were outstanding. Fernando Torres's the forward of Spain was well feedback by the mid-fielders and in the 33 minute of the first half a superb pass was given by Xavi and it was through-ball which was covered by German defender but Torres quickly took the ball from the defender and scored the only goal of the match in style. After this goal German not able to equalize the goal because of some missed chances by German forwards. Spain defenders never allowed the German forwards to settle down in the whole match. David Villa the top scorer for Spain was not playing the final because of thigh injury but Torres played exceptionally well and continues troubled the German goal keeper.

German’s created some chances in the early minutes of the game and Captain Michael Ballack and Miroslav Klose combined beautifully but missed the chances near the goal post. Ballack was badly injured in the match but still played the full quota of the match.

Spain won the Euro 2008 after 44 years a very long time. In 1964 Spain won this trophy for the first time and hats off to 69 years old coach Luis Aragones for training the strongest Spain squad. Spain won all the matches in this tournament before the finals. Iker Casillas, lifted the huge UEFA EURO 2008 trophy and whole team behind him gave a big roar. I personally feel that Spain played flawless game from the first game to the last game and truly deserved to win the trophy. That’s all for now and more soon….

Aspirin helps to control Asthma

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 08:54:39 PDT

Hi friends, I would like to share this important info with you all. A recent study which was published in Paris says that “Every other day a bit of aspirin will help women to keep Asthma at the bay”. This study of research was published in the British journal Thorax.

Similar study was made on men previously, which has shown the same result as that on women. This is the first time that a medical research has demonstrated that Aspirin can control the raise of Asthma in the body of a woman.

A massive survey was conducted on 40,000 female American healthcare professionals, whose age is around 45 & older. The typical form of Aspirin is a 325 mg. This form of Aspirin has reduced the Asthma effect on the surveyed women. These results were found to be true on all irrespective of menopausal status, exercise level & smoking. But this Aspirin has no such effect on the clinically obese women.

This survey is not conducted on the women less than 45 years of the age. This research did not work on the obese woman, so Asthma rules on obese women. The researchers are yet to find a way to reduce the Asthma effect on some sections of women, not all are free from Asthma attacks.

I have seen many Asthma friends of mine who struggle for breath. I get disturbed by seeing the pain faced by them. When the climate is cold or the pollution levels are very high then it is horrible experience for them. This is very important discovery as per me because it is a slow but sure way of reducing the Asthma effect.

Tintin will soon come to life

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:08:24 PDT

Hi friends, how are u all doing??? I had recovered from viral fever and I am doing fine. Recently I was reading newspaper and found a column saying that comic star Tintin will be coming to life in a three movies series. Already Tintin cartoon is popular in Cartoon Network Channel but this is first time a movie is going to be coming very soon in theatres.

The Tintin trilogy will be directed by famous Hollywood director Steven Spielberg and will be working with famous director Peter Jackson (Director of the Lord of Rings & King Kong). Media sources say that Spielberg will be director of the first movie of Tintin series and second movie will be directed by Jackson but it is unknown who will be the director for the third movie.

A schoolboy by the name Thomas Sangster from South London will be playing the role of Tintin because Spielberg had selected him. Sangster is 17 years old and he might become as popular like Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) or Elijah Wood (played the role of Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings series). Speaking to media Sangster said, he doesn’t know much about Tintin character because he don’t like reading books but he watched the cartoon series of Tintin on Cartoon Network. Captain Haddock character is also popular in the comic version and this role will be played by Andy Serkis.

Herge’s had sold around 200 million copies around the world and Tintin is very popular around the world. The Trilogy of Tintin is expected to release in the year 2010 but the work and discussion about the scenes had already started in Los Angles.

The production team and the director of the film did not reveal which of the 23 Tintin stories will be filmed. So, it is a secret for the public and latest 3D technology will be used by the directors. We can expect good film in 2010 from Hollywood. That's all for now and more soon.....

Sridevi Ek Sitara

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 11:56:01 PST

Sridevi stole the hearts of many people with her seductive dance and mastered art. She had the talent and the grace to attract any audience. Sridevi was born on 13^th August 1963 in Sivakai, Tamil Nadu and her full name was Sreedevi Ayyappan but after coming to films her name was changed to Sridevi. Presently she married to famous producer Boney Kapoor who is brother of actor hero Anil Kapoor.

Sridevi father was Ayyappan a lawyer from Tamil Nadu and Rajeshwari (Andhra Pradesh) was her mother’s name. This bollywood queen had ruled the film world for two decades but started her career as child artist at an age of 3 years. Sridevi first debut in Hindi movie “Julie” where Laxmi was heroine and Sridevi was playing the role of her young sister. Julie movie had become a musical hit at that time.

Sridevi was a standard seven dropout and her passion for acting had made her to leave her education. She soon became the sexy kitten of Telugu Films acting with many heroes like Late NT Rama Rao, A Nageshwara Rao, Super Star Krishna, Shoban Babu & list goes on. She had even acted with the above said actors son’s as well Nagarjuna (son of Nageshwara Rao).

Sridevi’s first hit film as heroine in Hindi was Himmatwala (1983) and her debut film Solva Sawan was unsuccessful at the box office. After the hit of Himmatwala Sridevi became a super star and this brought the end of Hema and Rekha’s era to an end as heroines. Sridevi was 5'7' tall and soon became famous in bollywood and she earned the nickname ‘Miss Thunder Thighs’. Her biggest hits are Tohfa, Mr India, Nagina, Chandni, Chalbaaz, Lamhe and Kuda Gawah. She was popular in film industries other than Hindi as well and she acted in many films in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. Sridevi’s last movie Judaai in 1997 with Anil Kapoor was a big hit and audience were waiting for more but she retired from films after marrying Boney Kapoor.

In Sridevi’s personal life faced hard times and she lit the pyre of her mother breaking the laws of Hindu customs. Her father died when she was acting in the film ‘Lamhe’ and left her alone in the life. The gossips of bollywood claimed that Sridevi had relationship with Mithun Chakraborty in 1986 and the relationship ended within year when she realized that Mithun had not yet divorced his first wife Yogita Bali (actress). Sridevi married film producer Boney Kapoor in the year 1996 but Boney Kapoor was also a married man and had to give divorce to his first wife. Media & film industry had criticized the marriage but Sridevi faced all the attacks bravely and silently. She had two daughters Jhanvi and Khushi.

Sridevi came back as a small screen diva and acted in a comedy serial 'Malini Iyer' from 2004-2005. She appeared in TV shows like Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai (2004) and Kaboom (2005). Sridevi’s present world starts with her two daughters and I hope her daughters live up to Sridevi’s expectations.

Every year in Visakhapatnam Naval day is celebrated and on this the INDIAN NAVY shows to the public the aerobics and other feats. They even do rehearsals with the anti-aircraft guns. Even though you can not bare the sound the light emitted from the anti-aircraft guns are very colorful to watch. Since my childhood I always go to see these colorful lights. There was Naval Mela where lot of item related to Indian navy was displayed and was allowed for public view. The beach road was full packed with crowd and naval officers. I have taken some pictures of the ships which were decorated with lights. They may not clear as they were too far to take a picture but I too the pictures with my Nokia 6070.

RACE is typical bollywood masala

noreply@blogger.com (Vamsi) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 11:17:06 PST

Hi friends,

The name of the new bollywood film RACE should be Twist or Shock. Friends, don’t think that this movie is full of Races or it is a story of a racer. After seeing this movie my mind became blank for 1 hour. RACE is typical bollywood masala movie nothing special.

Anil Kapoor’s comedy was outstanding and Johnny lever’s guest appearance performance is another highlight of the movie. The music of the film had saved this movie from becoming flop in the box office.

Some of the action scenes were copied from the English movie Final Destination. But the Director duo Abbas-Mastan was not able to make the scene mind-blowing. In the English movie if u see the scene you will be afraid after watching it.

Saif Ali Khan’s & Bipasha Basu’s performance was as usual, nothing special. Akshaye Khanna’s performance was good but not upto his standards. Katrina Kaif looks more like a doll than an actress. She had no facial expressions or emotions. I don’t understand how she is accepted in the bollywood, may be because of her physical looks. Katrina Kaif’s performance was the worst, of the entire star cast. Sameera Reddy has a small role and her performance was also not outstanding.

The story starts with rivalry between two horse racing companies and ends up some where else. If I tell the suspense some readers of this review will not watch the movie at all. So, I don’t want to go much into the story. Most of the scenes were shot in beautiful locations in South Africa. I will rate the story of this movie 2 out of 5.

‘Pehli Nazar Mein’ is the highlight song sung by Atif Aslam. This song will take u into a different world with your girlfriend or boyfriend. It is a very romantic song. I love this song very much. ‘Race Saanson Ki’ is next best song in this movie. Remaining songs were below average songs and I will rate the music as 3 out 5. The Music Director of this movie is Pritam Chakraborty.

--------------->Race Saanson Ki....

The star cast of this film:Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor and Sameera Reddy. Sameera Reddy and Bips were very sexy in this movie. Katrine Kaif was not as sexy as other two. But all the women costumes were so short that guys will rub their eyes after seeing the movie…One day comes when all the women will be wearing only western dresses and Indian saris and punjabi dresses will vanish from the market. Why Indians run after western culture? Movie stars also show more importance to western style. Soon I think our culture will vanish. That’s all for now folks.

With lots of love,

Vamsi..... :)
