			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love spending good times in theaters, and of course, I used to watch almost all the movies of all heroes, when I was in Jangaon. But this Hyderabad life is a superfast express life, and I am forced to run with the time, and it is very rare to visit movie theaters.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Luckily, I got some free time in this busy schedule, Immediately I planned for <span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;100% Love&#8221;.</span> <span style="color: #000000;">There is no doubt; it is a beautiful love story.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">At the beginning itself, it is very innovative. The titles display in Q &amp; A form is really a great ides.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Naga Chaitanya aptly suits the role of a brilliant student. His body language and expressionless looks further elevate the character. I was surprised with his maturity in acting. Surely 100% movie establishes Naga Chaitanya as a romantic hero, but he needs to foster his dancing skills, His performance is very poor in dancing.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-180  aligncenter" title="4" src="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/4-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">I was impressed with Tamanna performance and she aptly fits the role of both a village girl and later as a corporate chick. Really I enjoyed her role as a fan of chicken. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/2.jpg"></a></span></p>
<p><a href="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/100-love-movie-pics.jpg"></a><a href="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/100-love-movie-pics.jpg"></a></p>
<p>The music is extra-ordinary, Devisri has proved, what he is. <span style="color: #800080;"><em>Oke parikshai raasina, Oke jawabai saagina</em> </span>song is really good. <span style="color: #800080;"><em>Diyalo Diyala</em></span> song is also very good with mass beat and funny lyrics.</p>
<p>Really 100% Love is a very good movie</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/anna-hazare.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-129" title="anna-hazare" src="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/anna-hazare.jpg" alt="" width="193" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>1. Who is Anna Hazare?</strong></span></p>
<p>An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>2. What&#8217;s so special about him? </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"> <strong>3. So what?</strong></span></p>
<p>This  village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the  village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills. In 1975, it  used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village  in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly &amp;  harmonic village.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"> <strong>4. Ok,&#8230;? </strong></span></p>
<p>Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social activities.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"> <strong>5. Really, what is he fighting for? </strong></span></p>
<p>He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"> <strong>6. How that can be possible? </strong></span></p>
<p>He is  advocating for a Bil, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill),  that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians  (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"> <strong>7. It&#8217;s an entirely new thing right..? </strong></span></p>
<p>In 1972,  the bill was proposed by the Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then  it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to change  the bill to suit thier theft (corruption).</p>
<p>Oh.. He is  going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a Bill ! How  can that be possible in such a short span of time? The first thing he is  asking for is: the government should come forward and announce that the  bill is going to be passed. Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT  the LOK PAL BILL. 50% goverment participation and 50% public  participation. Because you cant trust the government entirely for making  such a bill which does not suit them.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"> <strong>8. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed? </strong></span></p>
<p>A LokPal  will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say  like the Election Commission of India. In each and every state,  Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to  trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty  will be punished. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that  has been going for last 25 years without any result.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>9. Is he alone? Whoelse is there in the fight with Anna Hazare? </strong></span></p>
<p>Baba  Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI activist  Arvind Kejriwal and many more. Prominent personalities like Aamir Khan  is supporting his cause.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"> <strong>10. Ok, got it. What can I do?</strong></span></p>
<p>At least  we can spread the message. How? Putting status message, links, video,  changing profile pics.   At least we can support Anna Hazare and the  cause for uprooting corruption from India.  At least we can hope that  his Hunger Strike does not go in vain. At least we can pray for his good  health.</p>

<h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">Coco-cola CEO Bryan Dyson&#8217;s 30 seconds Speech</span></h4>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000080;">Short, Simple yet Sharp and Powerful</span></h5>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/5_balls1.jpg"><img title="5_balls" src="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/5_balls1-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a></h4>
<p>Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them &#8211; Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you&#8217;re keeping all of these in the Air.</p>
<p>You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.</p>
<p>But the other four Balls &#8211; Family, Health, Friends and Spirit &#8211; are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends and have proper rest.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">After his speech a poor old woman got up. She was bent with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in tatters.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The volunteers tried to stop her, but she fought her way to the place where Gandhiji was sitting.</span></p>
<p>“<span style="color: #800080;">I must see him,</span>” <span style="color: #0000ff;">she insisted and going up to Gandhiji touched his feet.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Then from the folds of her sari she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet.Gandhiji picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Gandhiji for the coin but Gandhiji refused. “<span style="color: #008000;">I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees for the Charkha Sangh,</span>” Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly “<span style="color: #008000;">yet you won’t trust me with a copper coin.</span>”</span></p>
<p>“<span style="color: #800080;">This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands</span>,” Gandhiji said. <span style="color: #800080;">“If a man has several lakhs and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn’t mean much. But this coin was perhaps all that the poor woman possessed. She gave me all she had.That was very generous of her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than a crore of rupees.”</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Friends and relatives complaint that I do not call them for a long time. In my view cell phone is meant for only important things to be communicated. Nowadays free calling offers / one paisa per second offers make this technology as an irritating thing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have a cell phone along with the rest of the free world and while most have come to love, rely and enjoy their particular piece of technology; I have come to absolutely despise it. I hate that I am always in contact and communication with everyone all the time. I hate that people assume if I have a cell phone, I am available every second of the day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If switch off the mobile, when I am on leisure, every body blames that I am escaping.<br />
I hate cell phones………………</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">(Former President of India APJ Abdul Kalam at Wharton India Economic forum , Philadelphia , March 22,2008)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">Question: Could you give an example, from your own experience, of how leaders should manage failure?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;">Kalam:</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">Let me tell you about my experience. In 1973 I became the project director of India &#8217;s satellite launch vehicle program, commonly called the SLV-3. Our goal was to put India &#8217;s &#8220;Rohini&#8221; satellite into orbit by 1980. I was given funds and human resources &#8212; but was told clearly that by 1980 we had to launch the satellite into space. Thousands of people worked together in scientific and technical teams towards that goal.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><br />
<span style="color: #800080;">By 1979 &#8212; I think the month was August &#8212; we thought we were ready. As the project director, I went to the control center for the launch. At four minutes before the satellite launch, the computer began to go through the checklist of items that needed to be checked. One minute later, the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed that some control components were not in order. My experts &#8212; I had four or five of them with me &#8212; told me not to worry; they had done their calculations and there was enough reserve fuel. So I bypassed the computer, switched to manual mode, and launched the rocket. In the first stage, everything worked fine. In the second stage, a problem developed. Instead of the satellite going into orbit, the whole rocket system plunged into the Bay of Bengal . It was a big failure.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><br />
That day, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, Prof. Satish Dhawan, had called a press conference. The launch was at 7:00 am, and the press conference &#8212; where journalists from around the world were present &#8212; was at 7:45 am at ISRO&#8217;s satellite launch range in Sriharikota [in Andhra Pradesh in southern India ]. Prof. Dhawan, the leader of the organization, conducted the press conference himself. He took responsibility for the failure &#8212; he said that the team had worked very hard, but that it needed more technological support. He assured the media that in another year, the team would definitely succeed. Now, I was the project director, and it was my failure, but instead, he took responsibility for the failure as chairman of the organization.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><br />
<span style="color: #800080;">The next year, in July 1980, we tried again to launch the satellite &#8212; and this time we succeeded. The whole nation was jubilant. Again, there was a press conference. Prof. Dhawan called me aside and told me, &#8220;You conduct the press conference today.&#8221;</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><br />
I learned a very important lesson that day.<span style="color: #800080;"> When failure occurred, the leader of the organization owned that failure. When success came, he gave it to his team. </span>The best management lesson I have learned did not come to me from reading a book; it came from that experience.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000080;">Recently I went to Kakinada on business work, and I got an opportunity to watch a movie, as I completed my work by lunch time.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">I&#8217;d planned for &#8221; Betting Bangarraju&#8221;, Allari Naresh&#8217;s comedy movie, but i could not get tickets.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><a href="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/vivek-oberoi-prince.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-27" title="vivek-oberoi-prince" src="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/vivek-oberoi-prince-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="158" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;PRINCE&#8221; is being played at the nearer theater in Telugu version. I watched the movie, as there was no other choice for me.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">I do not have any idea on that movie. Even, I don&#8217;t know the hero name till that time</span>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The beginning itself, it is extra-ordinary.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/vivek-oberoi-prince2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-28" title="vivek-oberoi-prince2" src="http://maryala.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/vivek-oberoi-prince2-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="140" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">Awesome movie with dangerous stunts. The stunts in movie are excellent. The movie villain Sarang has done wonderful job in the movie &amp; he is very good looking man, Vivek was also good but movie villain (sarang) &amp; stunts was super &amp; outstanding in movie.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Hats-off to the director for wonderful romantic shots and mind blowing stunts. It is the best action movie of bollywood have ever come &amp; villain (sarang) also.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">I luv this Movie</span></p>
