ENTHIRAN - ROBOT - RAJINI
There was a time when Rajinikanth was a lowbrow act. The mannerisms that endeared him to frontbenchers in cinema halls across Tamil Nadu for at least two decades invoked derision among those who aspired to class.
But the 'Enthiran' (Robot) mania sweeping the country indicates that the world has changed. Rajini has crossed the borders of Tamil Nadu, and even the boundaries defining Tamil language and culture.
People in the metros are discovering this phenomenon, which can entertain like no other. The pink papers are waking up to the unique business model Rajini presents and the money that's made around him. His film 'Muthu' was all the rage in Japan and 'Chandramukhi' reportedly became a cult hit in Germany. Slate, the US-based online magazine known for its incisive commentary on global culture, has just discovered that of all Asian actors, only Jackie Chan is paid more than the "balding, middle-aged man with a paunch ... sporting the kind of moustache that went out of style in 1986".
Fans are sprouting all over — across classes — to toast the superstar. Call it fad, fetish or fashion everyone is a frontbencher these days when a Rajini-starrer is released. And they make no secret of their yearning for the Rajini experience.
Rajini has been a popular icon in Tamil Nadu for at least two decades now. What's new is the crossing of borders. Could it be just hype kicked off by the media? Or is this an indication of the emergence of a new audience, described by a cinema enthusiast as a post-ironic audience, which is willing to see a film for what it is and not what it ought to be?
A Rajini film is a fast ride in a fantasy world. Outrageous sets and costumes, snappy one-liners, music that mixes folk, rock, rap and classical, dancing sirens and dollops of commonplace moral lessons conjure up three hours of non-stop entertainment. There's no pretence of making the show logical, realistic or cohesive. It's meant to be consumed, no questions asked. You enjoy the unreal stuff without a tinge of irony. It's not surprising that children are counted among Rajini's biggest fans as claimed by Gayathri Sreekanth, the author of "The Name is Rajinikanth".
Rajini didn't begin life in Tamil cinema exactly this way. He started out in negative roles when he joined the industry in the 1970s. In the 1980s, a new Rajini, a hero of the underclass, emerged. This hero was all style and panache. He spawned a thousand imitators as he flicked a cigarette in the air and caught it between his lips. In between, films like 'Mullum Malarum' revealed the potential of Rajini, the character actor.

Stop public rhetoric against drone attacks: American Senator to Pak
Stop public rhetoric against drone attacks: American Senator to Pak
A powerful American Senator has slammed Pakistan for not taking full-fledged action against terrorists operating in its territory and instead indulging in public rhetoric against drone attacks that are targeted against top militants leaders.
"They have gone after some terrorist targets inside Pakistan, but the ones they've gone after are the ones that threaten the Pakistan government.
They haven't gone after the Haqqanis; they haven't gone after the 'Quetta shura'.
Those folks are attacking across the border.
They've got some responsibility to go after them, and they haven't carried out that responsibility," Senator Karl Levin, Chairman of the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee said.
Levin, who was responding to questions after delivering his remarks at the Council on Foreign Relations a Washington-based think tank, had met Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, early this week and passed on similar message.
"I mean, we hit some Pakistani troops by mistake, apparently, the other day, and there's a strong blow-back on that, which is understandable.
But it's when a mistake is not made, when a target is hit accurately that I've got problems with the public attack which then creates that huge animosity against us when it is, number one, done with at least the acquiescence of the Pakistan government; and number two, when they are failing to go after those targets," the Senator said.
"In Pakistan, which is inextricably linked to Afghanistan, officials have taken some steps to rein in extremist groups that threaten stability in Pakistan, but they have so far failed to take the steps needed to address major threats to Afghanistan from within Pakistan," he said.
"Whether you agree with what we're doing or not, we are there. People who are attacking us are coming across the border, many instances, not exclusively, from Pakista

NRI candidate for US called ‘turban topper’
An Indian-American candidate for the US House of Representatives has become a victim of a racially charged slur emanating from the rival camp. Raj Goyle, who has clinched the Democratic Party’s nomination, to seek a seat in the US House of Representatives from the state of Kansas for the November 2
mid-term elections, was described as a ‘turban topper’ in an article that was promoted as a “good read” by his Republican opponent’s campaign in a Twitter post.
The article, linked to the Twitter post that was subsequently deleted, said, “This goyle character is just another ‘turban topper’ we don’t need in congress or any political office that deals with the U.S. Constitution, Christianity and the United States of America!!!”
Goyle’s campaign senior advisor Robert Becker said, in a statement, that Republican Mike Pompeo’s “campaign published this bigoted attack online under the heading ‘here’s a good read’. This goes beyond the rules of engagement in politics.”
Becker added that Pompeo “needs to personally and publicly answer for his campaign’s promotion of intolerance immediately.”
He apparently later called Goyle to apologise for the post. The local newspaper, The Wichita Eagle, reported that the Pompeo campaign released a statement which said it had “inadvertently posted a link to a tremendously offensive blog post.”
Goyle, an Indian-American, lives in the city of Wichita. His parents, Dr Krishan and Vimal Goyle, who immigrated from India, run a medical clinic there. He has said in recent media interviews that he was brought up as a Hindu.
Goyle won the Democratic Party primary to seek to become a Congressman on August 3 when he defeated his rival capturing 80 per cent of the vote. Goyle is considered close to Kathleen Sibelius, the former Kansas Governor who is currently the Health and Human Services Secretary in President Barack Obama’s Cabinet.

Kuala Lumpur, August 10, 2010
Malaysian Police have arrested two Indians at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport with nine kilograms of ketamine taped to their bodies. The men, aged 40 and 28, had arrived from Chennai, India, and were waiting for their luggage when a team from the Selangor state police headquarters detained
them last Friday.
The 40-year-old suspect had three packets of ketamine taped around his belly and four packets taped around his legs.
The other suspect was also found with similar packages around his legs and belly.
The drugs were worth about RM280,000 ($88,711), New Straits Times said Tuesday.
Selangor narcotics Chief Assistant Commissioner Nordin Kadir said police had received a tip-off about the duo's activities and were waiting for them.
"According to their passports, they had entered Malaysia three times before their arrest," Kadir said.
Malaysia says it is being used as a major transit point for drugs smuggling and movement of men seeking jobs.
