The noted person Ramoji Rao has often been known as the media baron of Andhra Pradesh and there are those who also say that he is a king maker. However, those days of glory seem to be over and right now he has been maintaining a low profile without making much noise.
Meanwhile, one of his channels ETV 2 has become the topic of discussion by many. It is technically a News channel but then it has got a rather conventional approach. Those who have seen it say that the programs and features are so mild that they are being compared with Doordarshan and Vissa.
Given the standards and the benchmarks that the Eenadu group has set when it came to the electronic media, it comes as a surprise to see ETV2 being compared like this. Well, it is about time the media baron pulls up his socks and does something about it.

‘Bumper Offer’, that is about to release on 9th of October has now postponed to 16th due to floods. It is indeed difficult to market the movie after such an unscrupulous natural calamity as people and distributors may not be in entertainment mood.
Hence it has postponed its release. Puri Jagannath produced the movie with his brother Sai Ram Shankar as hero.

A woman, verbally lashing the ubiquitous roadside-romeo is commonplace around the country, but Hyderabadi girls are taking it up a notch. Public spaces, transport and commercial areas are increasingly becoming uncomfortable, if not unsafe, with hordes of rowdy men waiting for an opportunity to eve-tease or grope.Our feisty ladies have now resorted to carrying everything from pen-knives, nail files, safety pins to chilli powder, improvising new ways to ward off or punish roving, lecherous hands everyday. And in the absence of a committed stand towards women’s rights and safety by the state authorities, these women say they will have to keep upping the ante.I never leave home without an extremely sharp nail file in my wallet because the roads are so unsafe, says Sonal Gaggar, a student in the city, adding, In fact, I know many of my friends who actually carry mirchi powder in their bag as a means to self-defence.Hansika Sawhney of St Francis believes that the city of Hyderabad has become unsafe with hooligans and roadside Romeos haunting every nook and corner and I’ve heard of horrible eve teasing cases.Hansika has been left with no option but to carry a small weapon. Initially, I decided to join a karate class or take kick boxing lessons but in the end it proved to be too much of an effort. So, I have armed myself with a Victorinox instead. I had once cut my finger with it by accident so I know how sharp it is. If anyone tries anything, I am prepared with it.”Ria De used to travel regularly by the MMTS. She says, We need pepper spray when you have a good old can of deodorant? If I ever come across someone trying to get smart with me, I do not hesitate to use it.”

When Prabhu Deva seems to be closely attached to Nayanthara and has plans to marry her, it is Simbhu her ex-boyfriend who comes into the scene.Latest report by a popular Tamil magazine revealed Simbhu directly called Prabhu Deva and had a long chat with him regarding this issue. The grief stricken lover advised Deva that bearing the pain of getting ditched is something unbearable.

Instead of explicit tortures, Nayan has the habit of entangling the person with her abounding love. The extent it goes will be unbelievable where she would be sending hoards of roses, cards and gifts to the one she loves. Surprise moves are her favorite and even Simbhu was taken back when she would arrive at the most unexpected moment just to see him.The same trend of sending pickup cars and bouquets continued to woo Prabhu Deva in the name of seeking solace. When his elder son was dead, she offered warmth and in turn expected attention to her bleeding heart.Even though all might seem like eternal love, the woman of attitude will change course any moment and it would be a short wait before Prabhu Deva will be ditched to go back to his wife, rumors reliable sources.

The mushrooming of the television channels in the State are scaring people on anything and every thing. Be it suicides by farmers or acid attack on girls or net cafe scandals or cabaret dances, they have their own style of making it sensational and can even come up with special stories on the issues.Friday was one such issue when the news about heavy inflows to the Srisailam Reservoir broke. The officials said they were preparing to discharge over 11 lakh cusecs of water from Srisailam which will have to pass through Nagarjuna Sagar and Prakasam Barrage before joining the Bay.There were around 7 lakh cusecs of water in Sagar and 4 lakh cusecs in Prakasam Barrage. The channels have added this to the flood water expected to be discharged from Srisailam and started giving analysis and predictions on the impending threat.One wonders what the officials from the irrigation department at Nagarjuna Sagar and Prakasam Barrage were doing, when they hear this calculation.The officials have already started clearing the storage water from Sagar and Prakasam Barrage so as to accommodate and discharge the surplus water expected from Srisailam. The water from Srisailam would take more than 36 hours to reach Vijayawada by which time, the officials can discharge the water from Sagar and Barrage without much damage and danger.But then, sensation is what is required for the news channels and they have their own ways to creating it. No one questions them and no one screens them. They go on their own.The present situation is expected to cause evacuation of over a 1000 villages from Sagar to Diviseema in the down of river Krishna.

Some people say its nature's fury. But it is a clear evidence of sheer negligence and improper handling of the construction works of the river safety walls and project by the corrupted officers and engineers threatening lives of lakhs of innocent people. If the honesty persisted at any angle in the construction works held by at least some of the higher cadres, they would have taken at least the precautionary measures instead of offering the dirty excuses saying this is the first time ever worst floods. The floods will be worst only. They are not for enjoying the scenic flow of water.What these Chief Engineers and Project Directors doing when alert warnings have been issued? Even some of the gates of the Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar Dams have not opened properly which shows the mis-management.By Saturday afternoon, the first capital of Andhra state is likely to be under 15-20 feet of water, thus putting into grave peril the lives of over two lakhs people marooned or missing. Many were feared dead, but the state government threw up its hands in helplessness and said that they could start rescue operations only from Saturday morning.Along with Kurnool town, the pilgrim centre of Mantralayam bore the brunt of the flood fury on Friday with the overflowing Tungabhadra and Handri rivers inundating the two towns. “The situation is totally out of control. We will have to act decisively tomorrow to send helicopters with fuel and drop water and baby food. Otherwise, things can become very very bad. Most of the marooned people are without food or water for two days,” a senior state government official told TOI.Thus by Saturday afternoon, the inflow of Krishna water downstream from Srisailam reservoir to Nagarjunsagar dam and further down to Prakasam barrage is expected to flood Vijayawada town and parts of Krishna and Guntur districts. “By Saturday night, Prakasam barrage would have received 8-9 lakh cusecs of water, something unprecedented in recent history. The usual capacity of water received at the barrage is not more than 4-5 lakh cusecs,” one official said.Vijayawada residents are on tenterhooks in the wake of the devastation that the flood waters wreaked in Kurnool town on Friday. The state government on Friday night directed the Krishna district administration to evacuate if necessary with force the people from the low lying areas of Vijayawada town.Faced with the unprecedented flooding, the state government on Friday pleaded helplessness. “Inclement weather is hampering both dropping of food packets as well as rescuing the marooned people. This is perhaps the worst floods in the history of the state. We have summoned the help of the army, air force and the navy,” chief minister K Rosaiah told the media at a press conference on Friday evening. The CM decided to stay put at the Secretariat for the night to monitor the Kurnool situation.

Accrording to latest reports that came into light on Friday, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar had collapsed in his hotel room in Johannseburg after the match between India and Australia. It could be noted that Tendulkar was ruled out of the match against West Indies two days later. It was said that he was suffering from food poisoning. Sachin suffered a cut on his cheek after the fall on the table.Sachin Tendulkar's left eye appeared swollen, when he returned to Mumbia on Friday along with some other cricketers. It was reported that Sachin had a bad stomach and uneasiness and he fell in his room and almost fainted. Luckily, he did not broke any part of his body
