Venkatesh Wishes To Continue His Philosophy
Victory Venkatesh is known for a man who holds philosophical thoughts and spiritual outlook. He says that one needs to have a firm philosophy of life to live happily.
Venkatesh says that he wishes to continue his philosophy in 2008. His philosophy is, "I never crave for anything in life. At the same time I don't refuse anything I get. I just accept whichever offer comes my way. I tend to help people in the way I can. Satisfaction is the ultimate happiness. I wish to be attached to that. I want to continue in the same way even in 2008".
So, Venkatesh doesn't make any new resolution for New Year but wishes to continue his old philosophy.
Buzz: SV Krishna Reddy Fighting For 7 Acres Land
Land turmoil has been common in Hyderabad twin cities and its surrounding from quite long time. Multiple registrations have turned prevalent in majority cases. But sometimes, the registrations wouldn't happen as per government records but the transactions would take place. Other times, government records show that certain sale was completed, but that wouldn't happen actually.
Coming to the point, Tollywood director SV Krishna Reddy has a piece of 7 acres of land at Gopanpally Village (survey 36) of Ranga Reddy District. But the University of Hyderabad is claiming that the land belongs to it as it was given by the state and proceeded raising a compound wall around it. On the other than the land records ay that it was assigned to none so far.
Now, the fight is in between the supporters of SV Krishna Reddy on one side and University people on the other. We have to see who wins ultimately.

Reel Buzz: No New Year plans for Chiru!
Mega star Chiranjeevi, who has been passing through a bad phase, will not celebrate the New Year. Because he and his family are currently observing the mourning period. The film star had lost his father and thus will keep off all celebrations. As it is Chiranjeevi has been passing through a troubled mental state, with bad incidents after bad incidents kept on repeating during the year 2007. All through the year the film star could not find any major occasion for joy or celebrations.
Even the debut film, Chirutha, of his only son had flopped at the box office. It did not evoke the expected response from the Telugu audience. Consequently, his son could not make any headway in the Tollywood. The murky episode involving his second daughter too created trouble for him.
And finally he lost his father. The film star had never been in such a shocking state before. So there's no New Year celebrations for him and his entire family. Also those close to him in the Tollywood will not celebrate the new year. Chiru's fans will also not participate in the celebrations as mark of respect and love for the film star.
What your number predicts for 2008
Wondering what 2008 has in store for you? Numerologist Sanjay Jumani deciphers your future according to your ruling number.
1 People born on the 1st, 10th, 19th and 28th in any month are termed as Number 1 people, ruled by the planet Sun. 
With 2008 being ruled by the Sun, the number 1 people in a position of authority would fare well, showing the way to their subordinates with elegance.
With a little rumination, you could balance it into a win-win situation. It’s high time you focus on the non-materialistic things of life, which are also very important. Try to delve in the spiritual side too.
2 Number 2 represents the Moon, and they are persons born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th and 29th of any month.
Ruled by the Moon, this year would be favourable for the number 2 also, as 1 and 2 are quite compatible. The most important thing for you to do this year is not to depend on others to complete the job you started. Though this year will be good for you, your dreamy nature and over dependence on others could bring delays or failures in your life. You’ll be at your imaginative best if you allow your thoughts to go with the flow. Some of your intuitions could turn into realities. Those in alternate sciences such as yoga, meditation, reiki, astrology can climb further.
3 People born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st and 30th in any month are termed as Number 3 people, ruled by the biggest planet Jupiter.
This year being equal to number 1, you may find some opposition to your plans. However due to your stubborn and ambitious nature, you could overcome these hurdles and surge ahead in life.
Sun could further ignite your ambitious side, and make you more forceful, not for the sake of accumulation, but from the fear of being under obligation to others. You may excel in the execution of commands, being orderly and disciplined.
In the bargain, others may consider you dictatorial, so try to use a surgeon’s knife in such situations.
4 People born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd and 31st in any month are termed as Number 4 people, ruled by the planet Uranus.
A good year ahead as the numbers 1 and 4 go hand in hand; those who are awaiting a job change or marriage could get rewarded.
Due to your original ideas, and unconventional thoughts, you are likely to face problems in the form of misunderstandings. However, if you follow your intuitions and original thoughts, you stand better chances of success. Those who are in litigation could get a breather, but must try to avoid business partnerships.
5 People born on the 5th, 14th, 23rd in any month are termed as Number 5 people, ruled by the planet Mercury.
Due to your ruler Mercury, the fastest planet, you could be in quite an impulsive hurry, brimming with emotions. All others may not be as quick as you to match up with your pace, so expect less to avoid disappointment. If you faced a few problems last year, this year things could start to look up, especially on the financial front. Try to use your communicative skills, which is your USP.
6 People born on the 6th, 15th and 24th in any month are termed as Number 6 people, ruled by the planet Venus.
You could have an average year, although the number 6 is good for the number 1, it is sometimes seen that 1 is sometimes unkind to the number 6, so this year, brace yourself to face some delays in completing your projects.
May and October are the best months to start anything important.
Those who are in newer relationships should be warned not to be hasty, and may play the waiting game.
7 People born on the 7th, 16th and 25th in any month are termed as Number 7 people, ruled by the planet Neptune, and such persons are also under the influence of the interchangeable number 2 of Moon.
Ruled by the planet Neptune, 1 is one of the number 7’s best numbers, so a good year ahead. Travelling for work or pleasure would be profitable for you this year, but learn to control those mood swings and take decisions from your head and not from your heart.
Spiritually, a satisfying year, and yoga, meditation and alternate therapies could give you immense gratification. Those in consultancy, or any kind of service-related work could see unprecedented profits accrue.
8 People born on the 8th, 17th and 26th in any month are termed as Number 8 people, ruled by the planet Saturn.
Ruled by the planet Saturn, 1 of the Sun is the lucky number for the number 8, so although a year for you to surge ahead, be careful in your investments, and do not put all your eggs in one basket.
Try not to trust anyone blindly, invest sensibly and think before acting.
This year could see you make great progress both financially as well as personally.
Those on the lookout for buying land could take a chance, and some of you may end up with your dream house too.
Post-February, you should see a positive development as regards your profession.
9 People born on the 9th, 18th and 27th in any month are termed as Number 9 people, ruled by the planet Mars.
Ruled by the fiery planet Mars, the number 9 is a strong number at the end of the number line, and as there are seven numbers in between the numbers 1 and 9, you would find work being delayed, or missing opportunities that should have been rightfully yours.
This year you should keep a check on your temper and use your energies for constructive things to have a good year. Past laurels could come in handy, if you use them, which is not a bad idea if one does so, once in a while.

Chiranjeevi Stopping TTD Chairman Getting MLA Ticket
No one knows if assumptions on Chiranjeevi's political entry are sending tremors among many but it is sure that TTD chairman Karunakar Reddy is quivering for that. Karunakar Reddy has been the 'yes man'of YSR and expecting MLA ticket from Tirupathi for 2009 elections. But YSR is cold on that aspect now. It is said that he is planning to reserve that ticket for person from Kapu community. The current Congress MLA at Tirupathi is Venkataramana who is a Kapu. As the chances of Chiranjeevi entering politics in 2009 are many, YSR doesn't want to take risk by giving Tirupathi ticket for other than Kapu leader. So Venkataramana will retain that again.
Apart from this, Karunakar Reddy is also upset as CM Is not giving positive signal for the lobbying of his brother's wife for the post of VC-Padmavathi Mahila University and request of his sister's husband for the post of VC-Sri Venkateshwara University.
Probably, Karunakar Reddy's prayers weren't answered by Tirumala Lord as of now.
Nostalgia: ANR's Over Intelligence
ANR is too intelligent to imagine. Many say that he is completely business minded and knows how to get the things done as per his wish.
Let us recall an incident. He took a few acres of land in Banjara Hills a few decades ago and constructed Annapurna Studios in that. Everything was fine but there was no approach road for that. ANR also ran away with funds in hand to lay road. His friends told him to wait for sometime to accumulate funds and lay roads. But ANR wanted the road immediately. He got a wonderful idea.
He used the influence of his friends and invited President of India to inaugurate the studio. And the President agreed to come. Then it turned the duty of local Governmental Authorities to lay road to the studio as First Citizen of India should move on that. The road was laid very quickly and ANR fulfilled his wish.
That was the smartness of ANR. Yes, he was smart in looks and in thoughts as well.
Behind The Scene: Dasari becomes butt of ridicule!
The Congress high command, which was of the opinion that Union Minister of State for Coal Dasari Narayana Rao is a man of principles and stature, has changed its mind now.
Eversince Dasari made that speech inviting Yuvaratna Balakrishna into politics and described him as future Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, the AICC was flooded with complaints against Dasari from the Congress leaders. Leading the batch of complainants is Rajya Sabha member V Hanumantha Rao. In fact, by loosing his tongue, Dasari has become a butt of ridicule in the AICC and everybody is doubting his credentials now.
Realising that he is under a scanner, Dasari rushed to Delhi to do the damage control exercise. H tried to convince the leaders in the AICC as to why he had to play to the gallery at the Balakrishna function, but there were no takers for his argument. Looks like days are numbered for Dasari.
Shilpa finally admits to dating Indian millionaire
LONDON(PTI): It seems that Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty knew what she did last summer in Britain and she has finally admitted her relationship with 32-year-old London born Indian millionaire Raj Kundra.
For the first time, in an interview to 'Daily Mail', Shetty has revealed that the new relationship brought a long period of loneliness to an end and transformed her life.
"I am dating somebody. I have known him for some time but I have only just started to know him better. I hope he will be the one but I don't want to say too much because it is still very early on in our relationship," she said.
Though she has not named her new love, the daily claimed that it's none other than the London-born entrepreneur of Indian origin whose former wife had blamed Shetty for wrecking their marriage.
"I'm not going to deny that it's him but please don't say it is because I don't want to frighten him off," she said.
"He respects and understands what I do and it is nice to be cared for. I have been very lonely for a very long time and it is nice to know I have somebody to look forward to seeing at the end of the day. At last I feel normal.
"It has been an incredible year for me but I have also been very lonely. I have been away from home, in a foreign country and I haven't had a boyfriend for a very long time. I need someone to woo me. Magazines are always saying I am beautiful and millions of men want to woo me, but none has come forward because they are all so scared.
"I can go to a party and sense that men really like me but they are in awe of me and won't come and ask me for a date. Being an Indian actress is bad enough but now I'm a celebrity in the UK it's too much. It would take a really secure man to handle the media attention.
"I'm eulogised by a lot of men, but they wouldn't take me home to meet their mothers," she said.
Allu Arjun and Sekhar Kammula In Gandhi Hospital
Allu Arjun and Sekhar Kammula made their presence as Chief Guests for a program in Gandhi Hospital yesterday.
Allu Arjun said, "You all may become actors if you decide to change your track. But I cannot become a doctor now at any cost. I feel very honorable to come to this function in such a big campus which is splendid to see".
The response from medicos was overwhelming for that.
And Sekhar Kammula said, "We are film people. What can we talk here? My sister also did MBBS from Gandhi Medical College. She forced me not to give a miss for this occasion".
The college day went on very well in the presence of these two crowd pulling personalities.
Which Star Makes 2008 A Merry Year
The year 2007 is not so favorable for Mahesh Babu. Although his image was sustained he couldn't make the hits of his standard. His two films 'Sainikudu' and 'Athidhi' didn't do well. While 'Sainikudu' was a clean flop with no life at all, the film 'Athidhi' sustained with some hype initially but waned out eventually.
Apart from this, all the big star films have bitten the mud this year leaving Venkatesh as an exception. His Adavari Matalaku Ardhaley Veruley turned a family hit this year. Chiranjeevi lost with Shankardada Zindabad and Balakrishna has seen failure with 'Maharadhi'. Nagarjuna also didn't do well with Don. Coming to Pawan Kalyan, no film was released this year.
And among the young guys, NTR could breathe some oxygen with 'Yamadonga' this year. Allu Arjun also has seen success with 'Desa Mududru' and Vishnu has seen his first success with 'Dhee'. Gopichand has seen success with 'Lakshyam'.
Apart from this, the time has been bad for Uday Kiran, Tarun, Prabhas and others.
We have to see who will make 2008 a merry year.
