Hi all…!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m very happy to hear this news ‘Petrol cheaper by Rs 5, diesel Rs 2, LPG Rs 25’ from our Indian Government. I’m spending lot of money for my vehicles for the last six months especially in Petrol. But now I hope I will somehow relieve from the expenses.
For the second time in as many months, the Government tonight cut petrol price by Rs 5 a litre and diesel by Rs 2 per litre, while the domestic LPG rate was also slashed by as much as Rs 25 per cylinder.

Atlast because of severe pressure from Indian Lorry drivers strike consequences and from political opposition leaders External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee decided to reduce petrol, diesel and LPG prices to pass on the benefit of softening international oil prices to consumers. He told this reduction will be effective from midnight of January 28th of 2009.

Hi all………!!!!!!!!

Everyone knows Kollywood beauty Shriya Saran is busy with her upcoming debut ‘Kandhasamy’, the mega budget film by Susie Ganesan, for past one year with Vikram. The recent gossip of that movie is, she has wearing a costume and jewellery worth of Rs 4.5 crore for a stunning song sequence. Already the film has crossed the marked budget but now the Director is spending too much money for this song sequence.

Shriya Saran’s costume for one of the scene of that song was worth nearly around Rs.26 lakh and the jewellery, Rs.4 crore. Crore rupees spent on jewellery do not make for many a furrowed brow nowadays. Also the shooting for the film is almost over and is all set for release for the next month.

Each and every family in our environment wants his children to do his MS or MBA in any of the foreign countries like US, UK or Australia to earn in dollars but now recession has changed everything. Now its very difficult for students who pursuing his Masters Degree or MBA from abroad and they are in a very critical situation to face their life.

Moreover, with no promise of a job back home in India, these students are feeling stranded. Now the unemployment rate in UK is very much high compared over other nations such as Slovenia, Romania, Malta, Holland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Austria or Cyprus  in the world. It’s creeping towards 2million mark, which is the highest rate in last 10 years in UK. Also it’s whopping that nearly 1.92 million people were jobless at the end of the period and it’s expected that it will cross the mark of more than 3 million before this year.

In addition to this, Sainbury’s, the departmental store going to lay off  200 jobs under restructuring plans, TT electronics hinted it may slash 700 posts, Wireless equipment manufacturer LM Ericsson said it is shedding 5,000 worldwide and Conveyancing firm Hammonds Support Systems, based in Bradford, is cutting 200 jobs.

Once again there is a trouble in making a Lingusamy’s debut film ‘Paiyaa’. It is a very big budget film for Lingusamy’s banner starring Karthi and Tamannaah. Karthi made his sensational debut in Ameer Sultan’s ‘Paruthiveeran’ two years before and won many awards for that film. After that he was busy with Selvaraghavan’s ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ for the past two years.

For that film he dedicated very much and worked hard. But working for two years to single film for an upcoming hero is questionable issue. I think he made a gap in his film carrier. But he will reward for his hard work in this film. At last Selvaragavan told him, that he will finish his film by January end. But now he told it will take one more to reshoot some scenes for that film.

So now Producers’ Council has informed Karthi in no uncertain terms that he has to complete the remaining scenes of Selvaraghavan film before starting new project ‘Paiyaa’.  So I think Karthi and Lingusamy have to wait for one more month to start his new film.
