Jennifer Aniston's luck in love is about as bad as that of the character she played in "Friends", Rachel Green. Jennifer is now being offered help by celebrity matchmaker, Patti Stanger. Host of the reality show, “Millionaire Matchmaker”, Stanger had predicted her break-up with John Mayer, and now says that Aniston is not made for anyone in Hollywood, but is meant to be with a 50-year-old business tycoon! Well, after her streak of three straight disastrous relationships, Jen might as well pay heed to any and every advice about love!

‘Delhi media saw me as an OBC, not a minister’

As Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) has come out of UPA, Dr Anbumani Ramadoss, the former union health minister, is busy planning his party’s electoral strategy. He tells TSI’s N Asokan, that he remained truly a 'health conscious' minister.

In every parliamentary election, PMK has a new political ally. Why?

All political parties have to answer this. All parties have switched alliances. Why are you singling us out? For us situational demands prompt this move. And we have to follow our cadres’ feelings. DMK sent us out of the alliance last year. We had a severe war of words with them. We conducted a poll inside the party and decided to move towards AIADMK. You may accuse us of opportunism, I would say taking a decision on the basis of party cadres’ feelings is not opportunism.

On Sri Lanka, PMK leader and your father, Dr.Ramadoss, said that DMK should have come out of UPA to exert more pressure on government. Why did'nt you resign earlier?

We did whatever we could on the Lankan crisis from sinde the government. But if my resignation alone could have stopped the war in Lanka, I would have been the first person to quit. If the 40 MPs from Tamil Nadu had resigned, there is chance it would helped the cause of Tamils.

Post polls, would you support the Congress?

I will not say anything about this. It will be decided by our alliance partners.

You are not contesting Lok Sabha.

I have still one-and-a-half-years left in the Rajya Sabha. In this election, the DMK has planned to ensure that even if AIADMK wins, PMK should not. They are very angry. So I have to visit all constituencies to do more grass root level election work.

How do you rate actor Vijaykant? He is coming up very strongly. In the last assembly elections he won in a constituency considered PMK's fort and his party secured 8% votes in Tamil Nadu.

Unlike Chiranjeevi or others, Vijayakant does not have a vote bank of his own. He gets votes which are opposed to DMK and AIADMK. This time he will get half of the votes he polled last time.

In hindsight, could you have avoided the AIIMS controversy?

No. If I get a chance, I will do it again because I could not do it well. The AIIMS issue is not between me and Dr.Venugopal, as created by media. The real issue is social justice. The agitation by AIIMS students against reservation was given full media coverage for 18 days. Do you know how many agitationists there were? Just 15. But it was shown as if all of India was against reservations. Delhi media saw me as a OBC, not a minister. Venugopal is an anti-reservationist.. So he was made out to be a hero and I a villain.

Your stint as Health Minister?

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh himself said that what did not happen in the last 40 years has happened in the last four years. In particular, I can mention the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). It got global recognition. Before NRHM, in Bihar, at a Primary Health Center, the monthly patient attendance was 40. But today it is 4000!

Future of Obamania, Obama tried his level best to push through his American rescue plans,

US President's tour to Europe signals policy shifts

Everywhere he went from London to Istanbul, Barack Obama was greeted by a reception befitting a rock star. The eight-day European tour of Barack Obama, his first major foreign visit after taking charge as US President, was a litmus test to prove his diplomatic abilities.

At the G-20 summit in London, Obama tried his level best to push through his American rescue plans, but faced stiff resistance from France and Germany. They were opposed to the idea that additional money pumped in the market alone will rejuvenate the global economy: for that to happen, stringent regulations and control over monetary institutions is required. And Obama showed flexibility in his discussions.

“America like every other nation has made mistakes and has its flaws,” Obama said in one of his speeches. He was just informing the world that America’s foreign policy is now different from the Bush era. This pragmatism is not without reason. At the 60th anniversary summit of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), member countries remained unenthusiastic about Obama’s ‘AfPak’ strategy and his plan s to fill Afghanistan with more NATO soldiers. They offered only 5,000 extra troops. A change in the U.S. policy was also visible when Obama said that NATO would not expand up to the borders of Russia.

The much awaited visit of the new US President to Turkey was meant to generate a new feeling of closeness to Islamic nations and people. He strongly backed Turkey's attempt to get membership of the EU. When Obama declared that US is not and never will be at war with Islam, he signalled a shift from the Bush era of “crusades”. By offering to talk directly with Iran, Obama is trying to keep away from the ‘axis of evil’ theory. His call for co-operation and dialogue has invoked a friendly, but guarded response from Tehran.

Amr Hamzawy, Senior Associate, Middle East Centre at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace told TSI that, “Arabs were responding to tangible alteration, not to prose, and are expected to relapse to the old antagonism if not Obama’s words are backed by tangible action in the Middle East.” Rhetoric, apart, the historic challenge for Obama is to change the American image of Big Uncle Sam - difficult as that task might appear at the moment, Obama should be credited with atleast trying.

The Pursuit of Happiness

MOLDOVA

SILVER LINING HARD TO FIND, BUT THERE


Moldova is a physically beautiful country, with rolling hills and a lot of lush countryside. Even the capital, Chisinau, feels more like a big village than a major metropolis. It's a nice place to spend a few days before exploring the rest of the country. The first thing that strikes you about Moldova is how it has yet to shake its Soviet past. The buildings, the roads, and even the people, retain a Soviet sullenness. Moldovans, I think suffer from an identity crisis. They are neither Russian nor Romanian, but somewhere in between. Only now, in fact, 18 years after the break-up of the Soviet Union are Moldovans rediscovering their own culture. It's no coincidence that Moldova is, statistically, the least happy country in the world. Still, Moldovans are warm people, and welcoming to visitors. I had a hard time, in fact, convincing Moldovans that I was voluntarily visiting their nation. They get relatively few foreign visitors, and that is one of its appeals. It is in fact one of Moldova's charms that it is not a popular tourist destination. A traveller there is much more likely to have an "authentic" experience than the one who is, say, visiting the Taj Mahal. You won't be constantly bumping into other tourists.

And, then there is the wine. Moldovans are very proud of their wine. Many people there maintain a small vineyard in their own backyard so they have an endless supply of homemade wine! Opinions vary on how good Moldovan wine is compared to, say, French (or Indian!) wine. Try it for yourself!

Who’s that girl?


Katie Holmes stunned everybody at the premiere of “Valkyrie” in Japan when she came in sporting a gorgeous new look, where she had traded in her trademark bob cut for long locks, and looked pretty in a purple and red dress. Obviously, the locks were extensions, and this pretty woman spent around $43,000 on her makeover, extensions, spa treatments and dental veneers! We reckon recession hasn’t hit her side of the world!

Iran: Ahmadinejad vs the rest

Khao Aur Khilao budget by Arindam Chaudhuri

The major challenge that the next president will have to face is the economy of the nation

Mehdi Khalaji

Visiting Fellow at Washington Institute for Near East Policy

The decision by former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami not to seek the presidency again has revealed how muddled Iranian presidential politics now is. In trying to sort out this mess, the most important thing to keep in mind is not so much who will be elected, but what that choice will reveal about the intentions of the country’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Unfortunately, the most likely outcome will be continuing transformation of the Islamic Republic from a civil government into a garrison state, in which the military plays a major role in determining political and economic matters.

Who will actually win the vote is unpredictable, but not because Iran is democratic. Ayatollah Khamenei, who is also the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, oversees the agencies that will run the election: the Guardian Council and the Ministry of Interior, which supervise the electoral process, and the Basij militia and Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), which unofficially controls the ballot boxes and the vote-counting process.

Recent surveys show that the increasing unpopularity of the current President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, stems primarily from his economic policies. Although oil prices reached an all-time high in 2008, unemployment and inflation (now 31 per cent) are out of control and the government is facing a $44 billion budget deficit. The public sector accounts for roughly 80 per cent of the economy, and relies mostly on now-plummeting oil revenue, while Iranian banks face a credit crisis, with Mahmoud Bahmani, the governor of the Iran Central Bank, estimating total delinquent payments to be $38 billion.

But Ahmadinejad’s unpopularity does not necessarily weaken his chances of being re-elected. A few months before the election, neither of the two main political forces, conservatives and reformists, has settled on its own candidate. Among the reformists now in the race, Mehdi Karrobi, the former speaker of the Majlis (Parliament) is a declared reformist candidate.

Mir Hossein Moussavi, a former prime minister, and Abdullah Nouri, a former interior minister, are also expected to enter the race.

"This is beginning of the Third Front"

Khao Aur Khilao budget by Arindam Chaudhuri
Shahrukh khan to Host IIPM 4Ps Annual Business and Marketing Quiz
2,300 IIPM students get jobs

Influential CPI(M) MP Nilotpal Basu predicts a Third Front government after the General Elections. In an interview with TSI’s Pramod Kumar, Basu says that traditional allies of the Congress and BJP are moving away from their formations.

The Left has supported the BJD in Orissa to save the Naveen Patnaik government. Is it a step towards formation of a Third Front?


In every election, some critical things happen. The support to BJD is of the same nature. One can say, it is the beginning of the Third Front, the only viable alternative to a non-Congress, non-BJP dispensation. Earlier when we gave a call for Third Front, people took us lightly. Now they know better. The reason is that the Left has always raised issues of the common people. Common people are now recognising the doctrine of Left. The Left was always confident of the Third Front and I am sure that looks like the next viable alternative, a non-Congress, non-BJP front in which the Left will have a very important role to play.

The allies of NDA and Congress are distancing themselves from their respective formatios. How do you view this phenomenon?

It is true that both the NDA and Congress have their traditional allies. But their allies have now realized ground realities. The economic policies of both the NDA and Congress are more or less responsible for the state of affairs. Both the NDA and Congress are following the decade-old global economic policies which are not working, so it is natural for allies to distance themselves from big parties like the Congress and BJP.

The case of BJD could be considered differently, perhaps?

BJD has its own policies and they have to face elections independently. The main cause for the breakup between the two allies, I think, is the Kandhmal incident when the BJP supported Hindu organisations which were targeting Christians. But the reality is different now. People are agitated against the economic policies which have created inequality and unemployment.
