TECHNO SCHOOLS

Yet another wistle is blown by Techno schools in A.P. to begin a new race to prepare the children from 6th grade onwards for IITs.

All parents to join their little wards to prepare them to be future IITians. no doubt it will be a mad race and no parent would like to be left behind. Every parent includidng me wish his ward participate and win the race.

The race is good and productive provided it is played subject to certain rules and guidelines.

  • The children should not be deprived of their innocent and beutiful childhood.
  • There should be a fixed time for play and other hobbies.
  • The children should under no circumstances be put to stress and harrassment.
  • Cut short the travel time for the child by joining at the nearest school or temporarily shift your residence near the school.
  • Please bear it in the mind that every child is unique in physical and mental abilities and his performance depends on these factors. Hence never compare with other children and demean your ward at any time.
  • frequently evaluate the wards performance and find out whether the child is able to cope up with the training programme and is capable of grasping the subjects with ease and perform well and progress in the desired direction.
  • If you find the child's interest is elsewhere like arts or games and his interest and capacity to excell in that direction is proved, please do encourage the child in that direction and produce another Sachin or Sania or another Hyderabadi boy Gagan Narang (Ace Shooter) for the country.
  • Please do not try to realise your dreams through your children. As you have, they too have their own dreams. Do not force them to persue the courses you like, allow them to persue the courses they like. Yes, please tell them which courses and careers are available, their relavence and importance and try to conivince but not force them.
  • As time passes by, please train yourself and your children with proper counselling to face the failures in life as they come and to overcome them with double the effort and force and achieve success.

Lets hope the new trend produces more IITians from A.P. who can make us available a Solar powered, eco friendly Homes, Cars, Vehicles and make India a place for comfortable and peaceful living

Glamour vs. Vulgarity in Movies

Going by the current trend of tollywood movies, vulgarity is at the steering wheel pushing aside the decent song sequences or comedy scenes

There is no difference between the item girl and the heroine. All dressed alike with same steps and jhatkas.

The present day movies are without a proper story, most unsuitable actors for the charectors, zarring music with not a single word of the lyric to follow leave alone the meaning of the song. The great Telugu lyricists are following 3 language formula. I.e. Each song consists of minimum of three languages, mostly, Hindi, English and a little bit telugu. Don’t tell me that we are giving what audience want.

When we are watching the song sequence, we cannot see a shot lasting more than a second or so. The cameraman uses the zooming, or some useless technique to change the frames continuously causing irritation to the eye and sometimes we cannot even recognise the actors who are performing.

The present day directors, cameramen, editors should watch the movies of great directors like Raghavendra Rao, Bapu, Viswanth and others not less than 100 times and learn the art of directing and making good films. Learn the art of portraying the beauty and glamour of the herions without crossing the line of vulgarity.

See the movies like Mr. Pellam, Pelli Pustakam, of Bapu how beautifully the leading lady is shown. Similarly, take the case of Annamayya, Ramadasu of Mr. Raghavendra Rao. I am sure He is going to repeat his magic in his forthcoming film PANDURANGADU also. It appears that the Music is a great hit and the movie is going to be a super hit.

Its an appeal to all the film makers and directors, to make good films and bring the audiences back to theatres. Before starting a new film, please count the number of films lying in the cans unfinished or waiting for a release.
