We have been reading about fake doctors in the newspapers. For few years, they work with real doctors as compounders or office boys and then they take this experience as the asset and take the avatar as doctor.
Though the issue runs smoothly for few days at one point the entire drama gets exposed obviously. Right now, the noted Swathi Balaram seems to be doing the same thing by bloating the readers with his phrases. Ever since the magazine has started, Swathi Balram has been getting the queries of readers related to sexual problems answered and made good money. But now, he has taken up the avatar of a ‘sex specialist’ and continuing the show. For many years, the sex column was dealt by the specialist Samaram and it appears that Balram got worried that Samaram’s popularity will increase due to his magazine. In no time, he removed Samaram and got one Madan Kataria to answer the queries. Just like the way Balram was running the magazine with his daughter Manichandana, even Madan Kataria started dealing with the sex column along with his daughter without any shame. Now, it is not sure why a difference of opinion cropped up between that father-daughter and this father-daughter but the news is that Madan and his daughter have stopped offering their services to ‘Swathi’.
With that, the answers to the sexual problems of the readers are being given by Vemuri Balram and his daughter Manichandana. To be frank, the regular readers of the magazine who go through it week by week are good enough to answer the queries easily. Most of the questions are like ‘I do masturbation regularly, is there any harm with that?’ ‘Recently, I got involved in sex with a woman who is elder than me, will this lead to any danger?’ ‘The size of my organ is very small, will I be able to satisfy my would-be wife?’. The truth is, such silly questions will never be sent by the esteemed readers. The sub editors who are working in that magazine use their creativity and prepare questions along with the answers for that. In a way, this is also one form of ‘Masturbation’. And so, the magazine management must have thought why to give free publicity to doctors by paying them so much money to answer such fictitious sex questions, what they have been doing unofficially through their sub editors, they are doing it officially.
Guess there is no harm in using the analogy that a compounder has taken the role of a doctor. But then, is this the kind of activity the largest circulated magazine supposed to do??

Y.S.Jagan Looks Glamorous With Spectacles
After taking rest for three days on account of his eye-infection and joint pains, Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy hit the road again with his Odarpu Yatra in Prakasam district on Sunday.
And the people observed a refreshing change in the young leader. He was looking more glamorous and attractive than he was earlier; and the reason was: he is wearing spectacles on the advice of doctors, so that the pollen from flowers would not cause allergy in his eyes. In one angle, he looked exactly like his father; though he did not wear khaddar dress. In any way, his voice has all the mannerisms of his father.
Some journalist commented that Jagan was looking like Rana in the Sekhar Kammula film “Leader,” though the little beard Rana had in the film is missing in Jagan. If he sports that little beard (no, not like Rahul Gandhi), Jagan would look more glamorous, the journo commented.

Entire Akkineni Family's 'Asthanapu' Sweety!!!
It is said that centuries ago, whenever the kings liked any women, they used to retain them for their ‘pleasure’ and ‘entertainment’. In this process, they used to employ them as dancers or other employees. Right now, something similar seems to be happening with Anushka and the Akkineni family.
It was in Mumbai when the young Naga Chaitanya came across Anushka during acting course workshop. They became ‘good’ friends and eventually, Chaitu introduced Anushka to Puri Jagannadh for ‘Super’. In no time, Anushka floored Sumanth and was seen in ‘Mahanandi’, the rest as they say is history.
Now, Anushka is arriving with ‘Panchakshari’ and the entire Akkineni male gang gathered for the audio release. Fondly known as ‘Sweety’, the entire clan starting from Nagarjuna to Chaitu, Sushant, Sumanth, Akhil were present and all wished her the very best of success. Those who were around were busy gossiping about all these events.

Comedian Brahmanandam makes heroes wait!
The cold war between the Telugu film producers and actors is reaching a new high. The producers council which met a couple of days ago has decided to impose heavy cuts in the remuneration of actors in a bid to prevent escalating production cost of the film.
In this regard, the producers are openly talking about how some actors are harassing producers and causing tremendous inconvenience not only to them, but also to the fellow actors. One of the producers told this correspondent that comedian Brahmanandam, these days, has turned a villain for the producers. “He has become so important for a film that many a time, shooting schedules had to be cancelled for his sake. There were several instances of Brahmanandam making young heroes to wait for hours just for a five minute shot,” he lamented.
The producers council is learnt to have decided to impose a 50 per cent cut in the remuneration of comedians, so that they would mend their ways and fall in line. They are also planning to encourage new talent, rather than depending on the old faces.

Why Only Balakrishna Is Targeted For Email Jokes?
Whenever a new movie is about to hit the screen, the one man who gets featured into the posters and stills is yuvaratna Nandamuri Balakrishna. Incidentally, eight out of ten films tend to have him as the person with a very funny caption. He was not spared even for the international blockbuster ‘Avatar’.
So, why Balayya gets targeted all times? Well, the reasons are many and let us have a look. Top in the list is the Paruchuri brothers who pen some really unbelievable senseless dialogues for Balayya after Narasimha Naidu. Then there are those illogical scenes like the one in ‘Chennakesava Reddy’ which no one will forget.
With mindless movies like ‘Okka Magadu’ and others coming in, Balayya has been made a mockery and that is one reason why he is the most targeted. However, it must be said that it is only due to his presence that the netizens and SMS users have so much entertainment and many must thank him for that.

'5,000 for climbing cell-tower, 50,000 for rasta roko'
Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao, who is still recovering from weakness, is back to his old game of losing the tongue.
Addressing the first press conference after giving up the fast on Thursday, KCR told the media that some vested interests who had acquired lands and assets in Hyderabad through illegal means were behind the ongoing anti-Telangana protests in Andhra. “They are spending lakhs of rupees to fuel the flames of anti-Telangana agitations. They are paying Rs 5,000 per head to climb the cell towers, Rs 25,000 for damaging the buses and Rs 50,000 for staging rasta rooks. I have evidences for all of them,” he said.
He claimed that he was getting calls from Sakshi channel reporters that they were forced to report on the agitations in Andhra and Rayalaseema. “They told me that they would resign rather than highlighting such silly and sponsored agitations,” he said.

Rosaiah clued out, asks for ideas
The Chief Minister, Mr K. Rosaiah, confessed on Thursday that he was clueless on how to resolve the crisis caused by agitations for and against Telangana in the state.
He also observed that there was unanimity among people of Andhra and Rayalaseema on the need for an integrated state.
“Agitations in coastal and Rayalaseema were spontaneous and was not sponsored by political parties,” said Mr Rosaiah. “The agitation for integrated state is intensifying.” Talking to reporters here, the Chief Minister said he was making a sincere appeal to media, politicians, officials and others to give suggestions on how to solve the current impasse. “People having ideas can meet me in private and discuss,” he said.
Mr Rosaiah said that the present political situation was unique since the political parties including the regional parties were split on the lines of Telangana and united Andhra.
The agitations in the recent weeks had also hit the development of the state, he said. “Poor people are being denied bread and butter as the government could not execute works under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme,” he said. “The government is not getting tax revenues as there is no business activity and this will have a cascading effect on welfare schemes.”
The Chief Minister said that students were denied education because of the closure of institutions and prices of essential commodities and vegetables had gone up as the transport sector came to a standstill.
Though Telangana calmed down following the statement by the Union home minister, Mr P Chidambaram, violence erupted in the two other regions, he said. When asked when he would go to the national capital to discuss the issue with the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, and the UPA chairperson, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, the Chief Minister quipped: “It is very cold in Delhi.”

‘I am Home Minister for entire State’
P. Sabitha Indra Reddy has objected to the charge levelled against her by Telugu Desam legislators that she was acting as Home Minister of Telangana region and trying to suppress the students’ agitation in universities in Andhra and Rayalaseema regions.
She said she was Home Minister for the entire State and not merely for Telangana and, as such, none must misinterpret the steps taken by her as they were aimed at overall maintenance of law and order in the entire State. The TDP had alleged that she was soft in dealing with the students of Osmania University, but acting differently in respect of students in Andhra and Rayalaseema regions.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday after Chief Minister K. Rosaiah reviewed the situation at a meeting attended by Director General of Police R.R. Girish Kumar and others, Ms. Sabitha denied having given a different treatment to students of non-Telangana regions.
Trs news, hyderabad hot news, hyderabad city, hyderabad news,Telugu News,Telugu,andhra,telangana,
She said the police would not intervene as long as students organised agitations peacefully without damaging properties, public and private. She asked the police to exercise utmost restraint while dealing with agitators, especially students. At the same time, she appealed to students to be patient till a decision was taken by the Centre and extend cooperation for maintenance of law and order. She indicated that IG of Police Charu Sinha would remain in Anantapur.
Meanwhile, IG of Police A.R. Anuradha, who is the police spokesperson, said protests, dharnas and relay fasts were “all peaceful” on Wednesday except for some stray incidents. There were rail rokos at Vijayawada, Tadepalligudem, Vinukonda, Pullampet, Kondapuram, Nandalur and Kalamala and road blockades at 49 other places.
She said the situation, by and large, was peaceful. Agitators damaged the Doordarshan reception centre at Nandyal, a mandal resource centre at Rajampet and the office of the Praja Rajyam at Kamareddy.
27 persons held
She said Ms Nannapaneni Rajakumari and Kalava Srinivas, both Telugu Desam leaders, were among the 27 persons arrested on Wednesday in the State.

Jagan cosies up to Desam
The Kadapa MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, on Tuesday broke his silence on the ongoing Telangana turmoil and stunned his party colleagues by demonstrating for a united state with MPs of arch-rival Telugu Desam in the Lok Sabha.
He not only joined the TD MPs in the well of the House, but also shook hands with them, and even borrowed a placard from one of them and waved it.
Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy, son of late YSR, had been maintaining a stoic silence on the Telangana issue, though the issue had divided his party MLAs and MPs on regional lines. With the Centre making it clear that it was going for a separate Telangana, Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy sensed that holding the placard of ‘Samaikhya Andhra Pradesh’, in Parliament may secure his political prospects.
The industrialist-politician had relapsed into silence after his attempt to get the coveted post of Chief Minister did not evoke a positive response from the AICC leadership which decided to go on with Mr K. Rosaiah. He made up for the lost time during zero hour on Tuesday after the TD MP, Mr K. Narayana Rao, spoke in favour of united AP. The four TD MPs then rushed to the well of the house holding placards supporting a unified state. The Kadapa MP also rushed to the well and joined them, and did not heed the plea of parliamentary affairs minister, Mr Pawan Kumar Bansal, to go back to his seat.
Sources said the 37-year old Congress MP wanted to hog the limelight by raising the united state slogan, especially in the backdrop of resignations and fast-unto deaths by other Congress leaders in the state.
The House was adjourned and when it was reconvened 15 minutes later Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy was absent.
Angry Telangana Congress MPs met senior party leader and Defence Minister, Mr A.K. Antony, demanding disciplinary action against Mr Jagan for joining a TD protest in the Lok Sabha.
Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy spoke to media later and echoed his father¹s stand supporting a “unified Andhra” and “golden Telangana”.
He explained his behaviour by saying that he could not allow TD MPs to take the credit for “supporting a unified Andhra”.
Meanwhile, the state Cabinet met in Hyderabad on Tuesday and decided to present a united face to ensure that the development of the state is not hampered.
“We are all united and will continue to work for development and welfare of the state,” said the information minister, Dr J. Geetha Reddy, after the meeting.
Sources said the Chief Minister suggested that it was high time that the Cabinet put up a united face and expressed anguish at the way even MPs were split on regional lines.
Meanwhile, the TD chief, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, gave the green signal to his party MLAs hailing from Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions to start a bus tour from December 18. This was disclosed by the party’s Uravakonda MLA, Mr Payyavula Kesav, to newsmen.

Congress puts Telangana on backburner
Congress on Friday pressed the damage-control button, with the party deciding to put the move to create the state of Telangana in "cold storage" to tamp down inflamed passions.
While not ready to reverse its decision to divide Andhra Pradesh, Congress leadership has decided to put the issue on pause mode, using the rift in the state assembly as the alibi.
AICC troubleshooters for the second day running were busy assuaging agitated MPs from Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra who have come out against the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh by promising "inaction" on the "statehood-at-midnight" declaration of Union home minister P Chidambaram.
The decision to consign the divisive matter to the deep freezer was spelt out lucidly by finance minister Pranab Mukherjee in a meeting he had with 21 Congress MPs representing regions in Andhra Pradesh that are opposed to bifurcation. Mukherjee used the simple "no assembly resolution-no Telangana" logic to pacify his restive audience.
"Any forward movement on the issue is contingent upon a pro-Telangana resolution to be adopted by Andhra Pradesh assembly by consensus. Since there is no consensus among political parties, as brought out by a spate of resignations and backtracking by parties like TDP which had come around to support the separate state, there is going to be no resolution immediately. Therefore, boundaries of Andhra Pradesh will not be redrawn and there will be status quo," a
Congress MP quoted Mukherjee as saying.
"It is so simple. Why are you people resigning," asked Mukherjee as he sought to impress upon the MPs opposed to Telangana that Chidambaram's announcement on Wednesday night was not radically different from what Congress said in its manifesto for the 2009 polls.
According to sources, home minister P Chidambram, who was present, also laid stress on "process" and "resolution" parts of his statement, suggesting that he made no promise of early or imminent action.
According to protesting Congress MPs from coastal and Rayalaseema regions of AP, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who had strongly pitched for an early decision at the meeting of Congress core group on Wednesday evening, also tried to calm MPs by stressing the importance of consensus. Singh had met coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema MPs separately.
Mukherjee also explained that their hands were forced by the deteriorating health of fasting TRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao and the assessment that he might have died.
"You may not agree with the assessment. You may feel that his condition was not that serious. But we felt that Rao was going to die and we feared that it would have led to a calamity," the finance minister said.
He read out the minutes of the all-party meeting in Hyderabad which gave a go-ahead for separate state, but said that since some of the parties had gone back on their commitment, the issue was back to square one.
The interaction with the finance minister followed a meeting of protesting MPs with party chief Sonia Gandhi on Thursday night and a session Sonia had with her political secretary Ahmed Patel and AICC incharge Veerappa Moily.
The flurry of meetings were a desperate bid by Congress MPs to preempt the damage the bifurcation would cause to the interests of their constituents. The MPs informed the party brass about the "grim situation" prevailing in their constituencies.
However, the pressure tactics are not new to the state which has witnessed bloodshed and agitations over the issue, and it continues give hope to TRS and statehood champions even now.
Sources said Congress leadership had factored in the possible "reactions" of elected representatives from non-Telangana regions, given the history of the issue. In fact, indications are that it has not given up the idea of separate Telangana.
Telangana observers said Congress had in the past approached the demand by considering reactions of opponents and probing the rationale of separate state with activists. But post-YSR, the style has been to announce Telangana and then firefight the opposition. That it has happened at the start of the new assembly gives Congress a comfortable buffer to deal with the risky problem without the fear of political costs.
The sense among leaders is that Congress would go slow on the "process" but cannot go back on it. It is felt that there is a ring of inevitability to what has been declared. Reversing the clock would entail political consequences besides the enormous law and order situation it can trigger, especially when the administration is still grappling with the vacuum left by YSR.
The leadership's bid to rope in YSR's son Jaganmohan Reddy to bring around MLAs and MPs and discourage agitations shows that it feels the "backlash" to some extent is orchestrated. Most Congress MPs and MLAs are YSR loyalists and their resignations are seen to help the party by deterring TDP from becoming the spokesperson of the rest of Andhra Pradesh. While Telangana has been won over by the announcement, the sense of outrage among MPs and MLAs of other regions is important to keep them strong with their constituents who are largely for a united state.
There is a balancing act going on, though. Sources said Congress leaders from Telangana have been asked to lie low on the celebrations lest it incite the opponents.

While not ready to reverse its decision to divide Andhra Pradesh, Congress leadership has decided to put the issue on pause mode, using the rift in the state assembly as the alibi.
AICC troubleshooters for the second day running were busy assuaging agitated MPs from Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra who have come out against the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh by promising "inaction" on the "statehood-at-midnight" declaration of Union home minister P Chidambaram.
The decision to consign the divisive matter to the deep freezer was spelt out lucidly by finance minister Pranab Mukherjee in a meeting he had with 21 Congress MPs representing regions in Andhra Pradesh that are opposed to bifurcation. Mukherjee used the simple "no assembly resolution-no Telangana" logic to pacify his restive audience.
"Any forward movement on the issue is contingent upon a pro-Telangana resolution to be adopted by Andhra Pradesh assembly by consensus. Since there is no consensus among political parties, as brought out by a spate of resignations and backtracking by parties like TDP which had come around to support the separate state, there is going to be no resolution immediately. Therefore, boundaries of Andhra Pradesh will not be redrawn and there will be status quo," a
Congress MP quoted Mukherjee as saying.
"It is so simple. Why are you people resigning," asked Mukherjee as he sought to impress upon the MPs opposed to Telangana that Chidambaram's announcement on Wednesday night was not radically different from what Congress said in its manifesto for the 2009 polls.
According to sources, home minister P Chidambram, who was present, also laid stress on "process" and "resolution" parts of his statement, suggesting that he made no promise of early or imminent action.
According to protesting Congress MPs from coastal and Rayalaseema regions of AP, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who had strongly pitched for an early decision at the meeting of Congress core group on Wednesday evening, also tried to calm MPs by stressing the importance of consensus. Singh had met coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema MPs separately.
Mukherjee also explained that their hands were forced by the deteriorating health of fasting TRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao and the assessment that he might have died.
"You may not agree with the assessment. You may feel that his condition was not that serious. But we felt that Rao was going to die and we feared that it would have led to a calamity," the finance minister said.
He read out the minutes of the all-party meeting in Hyderabad which gave a go-ahead for separate state, but said that since some of the parties had gone back on their commitment, the issue was back to square one.
The interaction with the finance minister followed a meeting of protesting MPs with party chief Sonia Gandhi on Thursday night and a session Sonia had with her political secretary Ahmed Patel and AICC incharge Veerappa Moily.
The flurry of meetings were a desperate bid by Congress MPs to preempt the damage the bifurcation would cause to the interests of their constituents. The MPs informed the party brass about the "grim situation" prevailing in their constituencies.
However, the pressure tactics are not new to the state which has witnessed bloodshed and agitations over the issue, and it continues give hope to TRS and statehood champions even now.
Sources said Congress leadership had factored in the possible "reactions" of elected representatives from non-Telangana regions, given the history of the issue. In fact, indications are that it has not given up the idea of separate Telangana.
Telangana observers said Congress had in the past approached the demand by considering reactions of opponents and probing the rationale of separate state with activists. But post-YSR, the style has been to announce Telangana and then firefight the opposition. That it has happened at the start of the new assembly gives Congress a comfortable buffer to deal with the risky problem without the fear of political costs.
The sense among leaders is that Congress would go slow on the "process" but cannot go back on it. It is felt that there is a ring of inevitability to what has been declared. Reversing the clock would entail political consequences besides the enormous law and order situation it can trigger, especially when the administration is still grappling with the vacuum left by YSR.
The leadership's bid to rope in YSR's son Jaganmohan Reddy to bring around MLAs and MPs and discourage agitations shows that it feels the "backlash" to some extent is orchestrated. Most Congress MPs and MLAs are YSR loyalists and their resignations are seen to help the party by deterring TDP from becoming the spokesperson of the rest of Andhra Pradesh.

CM unhappy over police ‘restraint’, DGP apologises
The Chief Minister, Mr K. Rosaiah, has expressed his displeasure at the police’s poor handling of the Panjagutta violence on Saturday to the director- general of police, Mr R.R. Girish Kumar.
The Chief Minister was upset that the unchecked violence in Panjagutta, where many commercial establishments were attacked, would create fear among the people and investors. “When we tell the police to maintain restraint it does not mean that they simply keep their hands in their pockets and watch the destruction,” the Chief Minister said.
For the first time since the Telangana struggle began a few days ago, the Chief Minister talked about investors losing confidence in Hyderabad. He referred to the IT sector’s telling the government that it would rethink its choice of Hyderabad as an investment destination once the economy recovered.
The DGP is said to have apologised for the incident and assured the Chief Minister that it would not be repeated. The Chief Minister told the police chief to keep the force on high alert and act tough against miscreants. His instructions are significant in view of the Chalo Assembly agitation on December 10 proposed by the Telangana Students Joint Action Committee.
The Central Reserve Police Force is already stationed in the state, but the government is likely to request more paramilitary forces for December 10.
Police said as many as 18 student unions have come together on a common platform and efforts were on to mobilise many more students and political activists to join the agitation. Police orders are to prevent the students from mobilising right in their respective districts. Police officers who have served in districts in Telangana have been posted to assist the local police.
Sources in the State police headquarters said that the TRS, BJP, ABVP and PDSU have been mobilising students and others for the Chalo Assembly agitation.
“We have information that at least 50,000 students will be mobilised,” said a senior intelligence official.

TRS dissidents now back KCR’s fast
The Telangana Rashtra Samiti which had seen revolt by several leaders in the last few years, particularly after the 2009 general elections is now wooing back leaders who deserted the party.
Many of those who revolted have now extended support to the TRS president, Mr K. Chandrasekhar Rao, and vowed to participate in the on-going agitation for Telangana. The Medak Parliament Member, Ms Vijayashanti, had called on Mr Chandrasekhar Rao in Nims and assured that she would participate in the movement whole-heartedly. The TRS MLC, Mr Dilip Kumar, ex-MLC, Mr H.A. Rehman and other dissidents are also supporting the TRS chief.
“We have to forget differences to achieve Telangana and build up pressure on the Congress,” said Mr Rehman.
“All MLAs of Telangana region should resign to their posts and begin a massive movement cutting across party lines. Only then will the Union government respond to the Telangana movement,’’ he added.
All the Telangana organisations including the joint action committee on Telangana employees are eagerly participating in the agitation and vowed to fight against the government
until achieving the separate state.
They said the agitation for the separate state will continue.
