Actor Raguvaran passes away
Iam still not able to beleive that Raguvaran is dead. But i reminded myself the saying - "Death when it comes will have no denial".
Raghuvaran was born in Kollengode as part of the Chakkungal Tharavad in Palakkad district, Kerala.He acted in more than 150 Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu,Kannada and Hindi films and was praised as a natural actor. Ezavathu manithan was his debut film in which he starred as a hero. Later he did'nt get any hero chance but soon became popular as a villain and a character artist. 'Samsaram athu minsaram','Siva','Raja Chinna Roja','Anjali','Kadhalan', 'Mudhalvan', ' Basha' and the recent 'Bheema' are some of the films he has acted. His voice modulation and the different style of acting made him popular among his fans. One cannot forget the way he acted in 'Basha' in which he proved himself an equal villain to Rajini.
His personal life was filled more with sorrow than happiness. He married actress Rohini but they departed from each other.He was addicted to drugs and alcohol which was the main reason for the sudden demise of this veteran actor. Past few months he suffered from various health problems. On march 19th 2008, he died due to cardiac arrest. Everybody has to meet the death one day but i dont know why God is in a hurry in his case. Anyways... My heartiest condolences....

ROBOT shooting to be started by May
The pooja of the mega movie 'Robot' by the mega combination Shankar and the Superstar Rajnikanth will be held around April 14 and the movie will go to the floors by the month of May. The photo-shoot was held last month at AVM Studio. The music director A.R. Rahman too will start his work for the movie soon.
Though the unexpected demise of writer Sujatha, who was working with 'Robot' team, had shocked the entire team, the film will soon be kick started. Since Sujatha is one of the few Tamil writers, who are well versed in scientific matters, it would be a challenging task for the director to find a suitable person to write the dialogues for the science fiction movie.
It is expected that Rajini would finish his portions in ‘Kuselan’ before 'Robot' goes to the floors by May.

Arrest Warrant against Richard Gere stayed
The Indian supreme court stayed an arrest warrant issued by a state court against American actor Richard Gere, ruling that the actor was free to visit the country and would not be required to appear before the state court. During his last visit to India in 2007, Gere embraced and kissed Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty several times on the cheek in jest at an AIDS awareness camp for truckers. Most of the truckers in the audience did not understand English and Gere played to the gallery in an attempt to get his message across. However, his actions raised hackles in the conservative country and prompted Jaipur-based advocate Poonam Chandra Bhandari to file a complaint against the anti-AIDS campaigner and friend of the Dalai Lama for committing an 'obscene act'. A state court in Jaipur issued an arrest warrant against Gere but not before the actor had returned to the US.
Gere, who frequently visits India to meet with the Dalai Lama, agreed to subject himself to the jurisdiction of the Indian courts and sought relief from the arrest warrant from the highest court of the land. An attorney for the actor sought an urgent hearing from the supreme court because the arrest warrant could come in the way of a scheduled meeting between Gere and the Dalai Lama.

Schoolgirl found alive against all odds
IT BEGAN with a suspicious neighbour and the sound of a child in the flat above. The small home of pale brick in Lidgate Gardens contained a secret.
Yesterday, when West Yorkshire Police crashed through the door and opened up the drawers of a divan bed, they discovered the frightened figure of Shannon Matthews, abducted 24 days earlier. In a separate drawer on the other side of the bed, the police made a more disturbing discovery: a 39-year-old man who was hauled out and arrested on suspicion of abduction. It is understood the man is a relative of Shannon's stepfather. The largest police operation in the area since the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper 30 years ago came to a close with hope triumphing over tragedy, triggering dancing and celebratory drinking in the streets of Dewsbury, Shannon's home town.The property where she was found, which had a small Pokémon toy in the window, was just a mile from the nine-year-old's home and was understood to be on a police watch-list. When two detectives visited yesterday morning, they grew suspicious and questioned a downstairs neighbour, who told them of hearing a child's footsteps in the property, which was not usual.The officers called for back-up which arrived in the form of four police vans complete with dogs. Neighbours crowded on to landings and watched as, at 12:30pm, uniformed and plainclothes officers smashed the blue back door of No26 off its hinges and charged inside. Five minutes later, a plainclothes officer emerged carrying a girl in a pink top in his arms. Christopher Heaps, who lives at No 4, asked: "Is it Shannon?" The officer said "yes", while another officer declared: "We've got her." Last night, Mr Heaps said: "I was very shocked. I couldn't believe it was on my own doorstep." Mandy Dixon, 37, whose home overlooks the flat, said: "Officers went inside and seconds later came to out say they had got her. Someone asked, 'Is it Shannon?' and they said, "Yes, she is fine". They came out with her a few moments later and put her in a car and took her away. She looked frightened."In the tight-knit, working-class community of Batley Carr, where the discovery was made, news travelled swiftly to nearby Dewsbury, where neighbour Peter Brown broke the news to Karen Matthews that her daughter was alive. Mr Brown said: "She just froze. She was in shock. Then her reaction was crying. After that, she had a phone call from the police liaison officer. They came to pick her up."Shannon's father, Leon Rose, 29, said he was "over the moon". He said being reunited with his daughter would be like "winning the lottery". Within minutes of the news of Shannon's discovery, neighbours – who had spent three weeks scouring waste-ground and handing out flyers to assist 300 police officers in the search – were dancing in the street. A banner was strung up across a window, declaring "Welcome back, Shannon", and bearing the signatures of all her friends. Children returning from school to houses in Shannon's road cried and hugged each other, chanting Shannon's name.Callie Brown, eight, who is in Shannon's class, said: "We all had to go into the hall for an assembly. I was crying my eyes out. I'm going to give these 22 letters to her from her friends. I have missed her loads."Last night, specialist officers from West Yorkshire Police were beginning the delicate process of interviewing Shannon to find out what happened to her. Shannon's mother had raised the alarm at 6:48pm on Tuesday, 19 February. Mrs Matthews said she had said goodbye to her daughter at 8am as Shannon said to her: "I'll see you at teatime, Mum. Love you."When Shannon did not return at 3:30pm as usual, she went out looking for the youngster, trying first her cousin's home a few hundred yards from her house in Moorside Road. When it became clear Shannon was not at any of her friends' homes, Mrs Matthews dialled 999. Police eventually released a clip of that frantic and tearful call.The investigation process was complicated by the complex nature of her family relations.Shannon's natural father, Leon Rose, 29, lives in Kirk-heaton, near Huddersfield. He and Mrs Matthews separated more than five years ago. Shannon's full brother Ian, ten, lives with him. Mr Rose said Shannon may have run away to try to find him, after writing on her bedroom wall that she wanted to live with him. Earlier this week, Mrs Matthews said she believed someone she knew had snatched her daughter "to hurt her". Some locals were angry that rumours had linked Shannon's stepfather, Craig Meehan, with the young girl's disappearance.Last night, Peter Brown, the neighbour who broke the good news to her mother, summed up the feeling of the community. As the bottles of wine were opened and the tops of cans of lager pulled off, Mr Brown said: "We're going to have a party." Neighbours gathered in Moorside Road, setting up disco lights and letting off fireworks.

Like father like son
The hot topic discussed now is breach of security by Rahul Gandhi. On 7th march he detoured into a naxal area without proper security personnel. The police had tried to stop him but could'nt. Many such incidents have been reported where he (Rahul) has crossed the barriers that were used to separate him from the public. May be its just a gimmick for publicity. But the price it may cost is his life. One cannot forget that the main reason for the assasination of Rajiv Gandhi was his lack of security concerns. Its better if Rahul be an exception to the proverb 'Like father like son'.

Vilas Rao Deshmukh gives it back
The bachan family did not attend the marriage function of Maharashtra chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh's son. The reason behind this boycott is that the invitation was given only to Abishek Bachan and Aishwarya Roy ignoring the Big B. Why did Mr.Vilasrao do so?.... Its just a revenge as Amitabh invited only Vilasrao's son for the marriage of Abishek Bachan. So Vilasrao has evened the score by inviting only Jr.Bachan and Aishwarya.

Tobacco - The Saviour
Imagine if you are driving your car through a highway in a rainy day and the wiper suddenly fails to work.... Ha Ha Ha.... Really a terrible situation isn't it?.... I encountered the same problem when i was driving to pondy... I approached a nearby mechanic workshop... The wiper motor needed to be replaced and unfortunately it was not available there... What the mechanic suggested was to buy a cigarette or tobacco powder and apply the tobacco powder on the mirror... I did wat he said... Then the mirror was clear as the tobacco's chemical property stopped the water from flowing on the mirror.... I reached the destination safely... Try this method if u get into a (wish u don get into) similar situation.
