Rajini's Kuselan hits theatres |
|
Friday, 01 August 2008 |
 Technical team behind Rajinikanth's Kuselan, which releases today where the superstar plays himself, relives the 80-day schedule.
Everytime a Rajini movie is filmed the biggest work for the crew is to keep in mind the phenomenal number of Rajini fans.
And living up to their expectations is the most daunting task for the technical team that is behind the scenes.
Even for a veteran art director like Thotta Tharani every Rajini movie is a test in itself. Kuselan he says was no different.
"We thought of shooting the movie in a real location but we could not get the right place. So the entire movie is a set we had to erect everything from scratch and the team was very easy and flexible to work that reduced the pressure on me," said Thotta Tharani, Art Director.

Farmers in Karnataka suspend sowing |
|
Monday, 28 July 2008 |
 The agricultural activities in the state have slowed down and many taluks in the state have reportedly suspended sowing due to long dry spell. According to the agriculture department though the sowing has not been severely affected, agriculture activities in kharif crops, pulses and oilseeds have slowed down owing to the dry spell this year.
Farmers have apparently suspended the sowing activities in rain dependent land, anticipating rains in the coming days. Farmers were perturbed over the dry spell in the neighbouring Wayanad in Kerala, the prime catchment area for the Kabini reservoir in the H D Kote taluk in Mysore district, which irrigates over 1.2 lakh acres of land.
According to the department sources, 'Kabini is the first reservoir in the state to reach the full reservoir level when the southwest monsoon hits Kerala first. With Wayanand being the catchment area, the dam usually reaches its maximum level in June itself. But this year, the situation was not the same following failure of rains in June. The water level in Kabini is around 2,275 feet as against the maximum level of 2,284 feet, said the sources adding that Irrigation in the Mysore district was primarly depended on Kabini, Nugu and Harangi dams.

|
Saturday, 26 July 2008 |
 Minister of state for Labour and Employment Oscar Fernandes, at a meeting with the district deputy commissioner, other officials and representatives of non-governmental organizations held in the city on Friday July 25 said, that the union government is actively considering a proposal of the district for the establishment of an Overseas Workers Training Resource Centre here, to cater to the technical needs of the people going abroad for employment.
Oscar said, he would discuss the issue with the union minister for overseas affairs Vayalar Ravi and expressed the confidence of convincing him to do the needful, as a city like Mangalore which is fast developing with lot of people having connections with foreign countries, is a right place for housing the said centre.
People going abroad for jobs without proper technical knowledge, get trapped in various problems. Some kind of training can greatly enhance their prospects. Such a centre can also act as a counselling forum for the people employed abroad who are facing problems because of deficient technical knowledge, the minister felt.
