Rajinikanth with Deepika

Superstar Rajinikanth featured on the cover of a Tamil magazine along with his 'Kochadaiyaan' (Vikram Simha in Telugu) co-star Deepika Padukone. Usually, the cover page will have the pictures from a photo session, but this one is different as it was taken during the shooting of the film.

While Rajini was seen in his regular off-screen avatar sans makeup & the wig, Deepika appeared in a casual outfit and she could make other beauties run for their money with that unmatchable hotness quotient. Enjoy the pic folks!

Call Me, If You Don't Like My Film

Yes, this is the bumber offer announced by debutante director Vachaspati Jonnalagadda who's film 'Chemistry' will hit the screens on April 19th.

Surprisingly, the young filmmaker dared to reveal his phone number to garner much-needed free publicity for this diretorial debut. "Chemistry is a clean entertainer. No one would feel like the wastage of time and money after watching our film. Anyone can call me to my mobile number (90326 55568), if they don't like the movie," announced Vachaspati, in the press meet.

Though this move is innovative, the director might land in trouble if the film fails to live-up to the expectations of the audience as abusive calls might be coming his way.

Chemistry is based on the life of a young couple before and post their marriage. Sriram Kodali and Amitha Rao are playing the leads in the film. Music is by Viswanatham Ghantasala and produced by Uday Kumar.

petrol replaced with alcohol!!!

One of the man's oldest pastimes has been making alcoholic drinks from fermented plants.But today,as oil is running out and its price is high, alcohol from plants is being put to another use-providing an alternate fuel for vehicles.World's largest producer of fuel alcohol from plants is Brazil.

When crisis occurred in 1973,Brazil launched its alcohol program in two years,in response to the increasing costs of importing fuel.They use a raw material with a low market value and which they grow in abundance(sugar cane).

Initially the process is same whether the end product is to be an expensive brandy,or fuel alcohol which can drive a car.

Procedure: Raw sugar is mixed with water and yeast and fermented in large tanks,until it turns into an alcoholic liquid,rather like wine or beer.

100%(200 proof) alcohol is needed for fuel,so to concentrate the mixture it is distilled.This is done by heating the liquid to vaporise the alcohol,then condensing the vapour to extract the alcohol and leave the water behind.This last stage,to produce anhydrous alcohol,needs a lot of energy,and has led criticisms that producing fuel in this way can actually consume more energy than it provides.

Despite this alcohol production in Brazil has boomed.More than 80% of cars sold in Brazil now run on pure alcohol,or a mix of alcohol and petrol,and the bill for imported oil is down by about $2 billion a year.Annual production is over 11 billion litres and will need increase by another 2 billion litres to keep up with demand.

loneliness is a disease

Everyone has felt a sense of isolation at some time in his or her life.A death in the family or of someone close, divorce,job loss,retirement,even leaving home for college can trigger intense feelings of loneliness.But alienation is deeper and more lasting than the loneliness that often follows misfortune or a major change in life-style.It is a sense of apartness or social isolation,a loss of values,a questioning of ones identify,a feeling of powerlessness.

For some people loneliness may result from the circumstances of their lives.

Shy or introverted people are also prone yo loneliness because they are not able to make friends easily.

Experts believe that early childhood experiences are the source.

Poverty,racism,cultural isolation -all breed alienation.

Cure:Try to talk more with them.

History of religion

We are immersed in our own cultures as fish in sea.Culture is a blanket term for society and its traditions,religion,government and customs such as ceremonies,dress,songs,dances and games.The beliefs were instilled in their members from childhood to preserve them.

Before a language introduced to communicate there are priests,storytellers and bards to spread their religion and their habits.
