Bhuvaneswari Criticises Past YSRC Regime for Self-Enrichment

Tirupati: Nara Bhuvaneswari, spouse of Chief Minister N.

Interacting with women in Vanaguttapalli village while visiting the Kuppam constituency on Friday, she emphasised that her husbands vision is to create a poverty-free society, where women and families thrive.

A happy woman ensures a happy family, she remarked. The Chief Ministers spouse announced key developmental initiatives for Kuppam, including Rs 45 crore for municipal projects in the first phase, Rs 110 crore for constructing drainage systems in villages, and Rs1.4 crore for repairing the area hospitals.

BBL: Warner Fires Back At Henriques Jibe Ahead Of All-Sydney Showdown

Sydney Big Bash League: David Warner, the Sydney Thunders captain responded to a cheeky comment from Sydney Sixers skipper Moises Henriques ahead of their much-anticipated clash on Saturday. The all-Sydney Big Bash League (BBL) derby at Sydney Showground promises to be a heated affair, with the rivalry between the two sides reignited by Henriques playful pre-match remarks. Henriques, the long-serving captain of the Sixers, stoked the flames during a press conference on Wednesday when asked about facing the Thunder. That's just an easy two points for us normally, so I haven't paid that one too much attention, Henriques quipped, before adding: We'll see how we go, but it means a lot for us and a lot of our guys obviously train together for the majority of the year. It gives us a whole heap of bragging rights every single time we get a win. I do think they are a good squad and I expect them to challenge the finals. Being good in those games is going to be a huge part of whether we have success. Henriques confident tone reflected the Sixers historical dominance in the Sydney derby. The Sixers have consistently been the stronger of the two sides, boasting three BBL titles compared to the Thunders solitary championship in 2015-16. Warner, never one to shy away from a challenge, didnt take the comment lightly. The former Test opener, who now leads the Thunder after having his leadership ban overturned, fired back with equal intent. Oh, they've already got two points? If that's the way they want to play, Warner said. If they want to bring cockiness to it, they've got to back it up. It's a great opportunity for us and our fans to come out and see a great game. It's always a good contest and we know they've had the upper edge a lot of the time. They are a well-balanced team, they have managed to keep all their players. On their home turf they are always a challenge it's upon us to do that here. The Thunders lineup may see some changes as young gun Sam Konstas was called up to the Test squad for the Boxing Day Test. Konstas, who partnered Warner at the top of the order in their opening game, will likely be replaced by Cameron Bancroft. They are a well-balanced team, they have managed to keep all their players. On their home turf they are always a challenge it's upon us to do that here. Also Read: Highest tax paying cricketers Article Source: IANS

NRIs charity boxes transform philanthropy in Eluru district

RAJAMAHENDRAVARAM: In Eluru district, vibrant charity boxes introduced by a 54-year-old NRI Srinivas Chakravarti Seethala, have become a symbol of hope. His vision to inspire a culture of organised charity has created a wave of generosity among the communities across Andhra Pradesh. Seethala, who now resides in Dallas, USA, introduced the concept of organised charity three years ago by placing donation boxes in Eluru, Machilipatnam, Vijayawada, and Korukollu. His initiative encourages people to donate unused clothes, toys, and other items, which are then collected and distributed to underprivileged people. My appeal to people is simple: donate, dont discard. Instead of dumping old clothes, lets ensure they reach those in need, he exhorted. Through his NRI Charitable Foundation, Seethala has created a mechanism to collect and process these donations while maintaining the dignity of recipients. My motto is to ensure that the needy do not lose their self-respect, he asserted. Born in Korukollu village, Seethala pursued engineering in Chennai and worked in Hyderabads IT sector before moving to the US. He has also contributed to his villages development by donating land for a library, along with a matching grant for construction. The library now boasts facilities such as printing, xerox, and internet access. Seethala plans to expand the charity box initiative and to install 100 boxes in a phased manner. It started small, but slowly, people began realising the importance of my mission, he said. In memory of his daughter Sahiti, who passed away while pursuing medicine in the US, Seethala plans to establish the Sahiti Charitable Foundation. This initiative is a way to honour her dreams and continue serving my homeland, he said.

AR Rahman is back to enrich Telugu music

Music maestro AR Rahman disclosed that he has composed two songs for reigning star Ram Charans new film with director Buchi Babu Sana. I have composed two songs and they have been finalized, said Rahman at a media briefing at the International Film Festival in Goa. AR Rahman is indeed doing a Telugu film after a gap and he is bound to rock Telugu music lovers, says writer Gopi Mohan, who claims that Rahman composed music mostly for Telugu-Tamil bilingual films and won audience appreciation for his lilting numbers. Even though he composed music for a few Telugu films like 'Super Police, 'Gangmaster' and Komaram Pulli, his songs from bilingual movies like 'Naani, and 'Ye Maaya Chesave also become a rage among Telugu music buffs, he adds. On Rahman staying away from Telugu movies, he explains, Probably, he didnt do more Telugu films because Telugu filmmakers rush against time to release their films and urge composers to finish their work within a short time frame. Whereas, he prefers to work in his own space and works with filmmakers who understand his working style. As he takes some time to belt out mellifluous numbers, he cuts down his Telugu count. First he conquered Kollywood and then rocked Bollywood to be hailed as a music sensation in the 1990s. His Hindi films like Rangeela and Taal busted musical charts. Later, he moved to Hollywood and bagged Oscars for his work, says Gopi Mohan who claims that Rahman is adept in dishing out tunes that would impress a varied language audience. The beauty of Rahman's score has always been pan-world and his songs breach regional and language barriers to grab music lovers across the world. With Ram Charan and Buchi Babu movie being planned as pan-India, A R Rahman is an apt choice and he is going to raise the bar on Telugu music, points out Gopi Mohan.

Punjab Police shoots and arrests snatcher involved in two NRI theft incidents in Amritsar

CHANDIGARH: A snatcher was shot in the leg by the Punjab Police after being involved in two incidents of snatching from Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) who had come to Amritsar from the United Kingdom (UK) and Mauritius. He also unsuccessfully attempted to escape from police custody after snatching a rifle from police personnel. The Director General of Police, Punjab, Gaurav Yadav, said today that the arrested snatcher, Suraj alias Mandi, a resident of Bhindisaida village in Amritsar, was shot in the leg during a swift action to ensure that no harm came to the police personnel or bystanders. He added that, in one of the snatching incidents, a woman was also injured. Sharing more details, Amritsar Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said that the accused, Suraj, was traced and arrested by the team from Police Station Civil Lines, Amritsar City, following a detailed investigation into these cases. He further stated that all the stolen items, including 300, 600, 22,000 in cash, passports, mobile phones, ATM cards, a Barclay card, Revolut card, and a National ID card of Mauritius, had been recovered. Meanwhile, the Amritsar Police received appreciation from two international visitors for their prompt and effective response in recovering the stolen belongings. Both individuals, visiting the city from the UK and Mauritius, had fallen victim to theft in separate incidents during their stay. In the first case, Anjali Majithia, along with her daughter, had come from England to Delhi and reached Amritsar on November 24. They checked into Hotel Best Western Queens, Amritsar. On the same day, they went to have lunch at Bhrawan Da Dhaba. After finishing their meal, they boarded an e-rickshaw to return to their hotel. As the e-rickshaw reached the railway flyover bridge in front of Hall Gate, a young man riding an Activa scooter approached from behind. The man, wearing a black jacket, snatched the complainants purse and fled on his scooter. The stolen purse contained her passport (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), iPhone, ICICI Bank ATM card, Barclay card, Revolut card, American Express card, sunglasses (D&G brand), 300, and 2,000 in cash (Indian currency). The second case was registered based on a written complaint by Premita Qureshi, wife of Adik Qureshi, a resident of GSS Road, Goodlands, Mauritius. She stated that on November 21, she was traveling in an auto-rickshaw from Golden Temple to Hotel Golden Velvet, Gagan Colony, Batala Road. At approximately 10:45 PM, near Care and Cure Hospital, two young men on an Activa scooter approached, snatched her purse from the auto-rickshaw, and fled. The stolen purse contained a Samsung mobile phone, passport (Republic of Mauritius), visa, National ID card of Mauritius, 600 (Euros), and 20,000 (Indian currency).
