Security agency chief quietly briefed the Government over a top
secret information. Recently a head of a regulatory body was taking
a huge cash, running into crores. This was a video taped on the mobile phone
by a third person. This tape has reached the Security agency.
to protect the Government, the agency is preventing duplication of
the video clipping. also ensuring that this clipping should not be
an embarrassment to the Government during the Monsoon session of
parliament. This video was taken obviously in a guest house near
Connaught Place in Delhi. But the regulator sits in Mumbai.
------------------------------Four times Member of Parliament and now a Union Minister Prof K V Thomas
has written nine books in Malayalam. And tenth book titled "Order Order Order'
is being released by 94 year Karunakaran in Trivandrum on August 9. Minister Thomas in his book on Sonia Gandhi, recollected the active days of Rajiv Gandhi and how
Sonia had assisted him to become PM. A prolific writer in Malayalam
Prof Thomas in his latest book has recollected his experiences under
many speakers of Lok Sabha. That is why he titled the book as "Order Order Order"
Thomas recounts as a bad strategy of many of theUnion Ministers of state complaint
to Prime Minister on no allocation of work by the seniors-since then
seniors have begun to further get more irritated. Example Mamta Banerjee
and A Raja. Both had withdrawn earlier work schedue to their Juniors
like Gurudas Kamat and K Muniappa. Thomas says he is lucky. Because
Sharad Pawar has given him lots of freedom. Many files do go to Thomas
and later to Pawar.

Head of Myanmar’s military regime Senior General Than Shwe was keen to
listen to the songs of Mother India and AAWARA. During the cultural function
in Hyderabad, Shwe wanted to listen to these famous Hindi songs. Singers
found it difficult. Murmurs began to sing the song by ladies who knew these
songs. But quietly,
ESL Narasimhan Govrenor of Andhra Pradesh
the Host at once organised the songs. He sent ADC to near by computer
and asked him to download the songs. Taken that on a pen drive. Put to
audience. There was a heavy claps and Shwe also gave a humming sound
to these tunes. Not only that Than Shwe also wanted to go vegetarian
as the Host Governor, First lady Chief Minister Rosaiah were all Vegetarians
and why Shwe said that he alone go for non veg dinner. Pesarattu Dosa with
Upma was also served to Myanmar's Senior General.

Though politicians speak on secularism, and visit Temple,
Majid and Churches just during electioneering, but when it
comes to head an institutions, they become too religious
turn to be have one point agenda.
Hectic lobbying has begun to get nearer to the Lord Balaji
Venkateswara by p
oliticians and
businessmen for the
post of chairperson of the Tirumala Tirupati
Devastanams (TTD), which is going to fall
vacant on August 24.
Outgoing chairman and former
MP, D.K. Audikesavulu Naidu, who saved UPA1
on Nuke Bill on July 2009,
as TDP MP voted for Congress, Dr YSR.
at once offered him the Chairman of TTD
which has a cabinet status of Andhra govt.
Adikesavalu Naidu wants to get another term. He is close
to Kingfisher Vijay Malaya.
Senious contendors are the five-time
Guntur MP, Rayapati Sambasiva Rao,
the industrialist,Grandhi Mallikarjuna Rao,
(GMR owner)
Indira Reddy, two-term TTD Board member
and wife of former MP, Mr T. Subbirami Reddy, are
jostling for the post.
