Sohail Khan offers pooja at Mijar Temple, says future of sports lies in Indian villages
Mijar, May 17: Bollywood celebrity Sohail Khan on Thursday offered pooja at Sri Bhoothanatheshwara Temple, Badaga Yedapadavu, here, on Sunday and sought the blessings of the deity.
He was here to inaugurate the ‘Halli Cricket’ organized under the auspices of the Temple.
Speaking to media persons on the occasion, the multi-talented cine-personality opined that the future of the sports in the country lies in the villages.
“The cities hardly have any space for children to play and we have to resort to playing in the streets. Moreover the city kids are spoilt by lifestyle technology and addicted to TV, Mobile, Internet etc,” lamented the brother of Bollywood heartthrob Salman Khan.
The talent that is being groomed in the villages through events like Halli cricket tournament will give a great boost to sporting in the future, he added.
“Actually I am a keen cricketer myself and I must say this soft ball under arm format is much more difficult than the regular cricket format. This game is very fast and you have to be extremely sharp and alert. I must say these boys are going a great job, playing this game,” he said.
Khan also recalled his previous visit to the Temple in May 2010 and said the main attraction for him to pay a return visit to this region was the beautiful greenery of Dakshina Kannada and the delicious local food. He especially liked the ‘country chicken sukka’ that he relished last time, he said.

Attention: message is for Sandra Parsons. Please inform her that I would like a response to this post since I was unable to tag her name.
Sandra,
Since you posted this in the group and immediately left, I would like to give you the opportunity to answer the question that I have asked. I honestly want to understand what compelled you to make this post, given all of the prior drama just moments earlier.
May I ask, did it make you feel good about yourself as a human being, or deep down did you feel that it was wrong? When you likely bragged about it to your other friends, did that validate your self worth as a woman, a wife, a mother, a daughter? Do you think along those lines before you set out to harm or provoke others?
How much do you love your family? I love mine dearly, my entire life would mean nothing without them. So, I treat others kindly, just as I would want my loved ones to be treated.
I am a mother with three beautiful children. Today is my 10 year wedding anniversary and I could not be more prouder of that fact. My husband is a wonderful man and we are inseparable. I am sure you were not aware of this information, but your post was the most hurtful action thus far that has taken place today. I'm not saying that it has ruined my day, but it definitely did not help it either.
The reason why yours hurt the most? There was intentional malice behind it, which leads me to beleive that you do not consider how your actions really affects another individual.
I did not see the humor in it at all and for me to even think about doing that to another group would shame me to the core. I strive to be a decent and caring human being and I have faith that others do too. But, when something like this occurs, reality check slaps me hard across the face.
I pray that you will do not do this to anyone else, especially the ones from my group. Please, let this be laid to rest. I want to have fun. It boosts my spirits and in turn I am able to boost the spirits of others.
Please take into consideration how you are doing more harm than good to others who may be living a really miserable life. I am very grateful that I have it good, but the majority of this fandom does not, and that may very well apply to you, IDK.
What was your motivation? Was it truly accomplished? Can you look at your loved ones in the face, the family who may see you as someone special, knowing that you hurt a group of women on FB? How do you think they would respond? Lastly, were your actions something that you could be proud of and take pride in?
I have marked your posts with lines, so that you can re read what you've posted. When you have, tell me how that made you feel. Tell me how you think it was right. Tell me why you set out to do this type of harm. My question to you is at the bottom if you so choose to skip the rest.
I respectfully ask that you respond to this post.

Bernadette Lentini-Jones Hi Sandra Parsons! I am sure you are a very nice person but I do think this comment was a bit inciteful of a riot and inflammatory. And maybe even a bit spiteful. Would you be so kind as to delete it so we can put this fiasco behind us and talk about Forbidden Twilight Fanfiction? I'd very much appreciate it and I'm sure there other like-minded members who feel the same. Thanks and have a good night!

Galaxy poll shows almost twice as many voters back Kevin Rudd as Australia's preferred leader to Prime Minister Julia Gillard

Political popularity poll
Kevin Rudd's popularity has received a new boost with a new poll placing him as Labor's best hope for survival.
Elephant in the room ... Kevin Rudd wanted by twice as many voters as nation's preferred leader over Prime Minister Julia Gillard, new Galaxy poll reveals. Source: The Daily Telegraph
TWICE as many voters now back Kevin Rudd as the nation's preferred leader and Labor's best hope for survival as Prime Minister Julia Gillard continues to be shadowed by the government's elephant in the room.
But they rejected any plan by Labor to deliver Bill Shorten as a "spoiler" candidate should Mr Rudd challenge, with the former PM outpolling the man responsible for his sacking by four to one.
The bad news for Ms Gillard's leadership came as independent Andrew Wilkie yesterday said he would consider a no-confidence motion against the government over the Australia Day riot if the Coalition put a motion to debate the issue in parliament.

Poll numbers tell the same old story
THE good news for Labor: today's exclusive Galaxy poll in The Daily Telegraph reveals an impressive leap in the government's primary support.

Tim Blair: Mistakes spread faster in era of miscommunication
Editorial: Poll numbers tell the same old story
With the PM struggling to contain the national security scandal gripping her office, a Galaxy poll commissioned by The Daily Telegraph has revealed the PM failing to make inroads into Mr Rudd's commanding popularity.
But the results did offer a boost to Labor's primary vote, up from 29 per cent to 34 per cent, defying post-Christmas polling trends and putting Labor almost within striking distance of the Coalition.
The first poll to be published for 2012 has Mr Rudd outpolling Ms Gillard 52 to 30 as preferred leader.
In what will do little to dampen talk of a potential challenge in the first half of this year, Mr Rudd was deemed more popular than the combined vote of both Mr Shorten, the newly appointed Workplace Relations Minister, and Ms Gillard.
Mr Shorten is now widely tipped to be the "anyone but Rudd" candidate in the event of a leadership showdown between Mr Rudd and Ms Gillard if Ms Gillard looked likely to lose.
But among voters, Mr Shorten suffers from low popularity and recognition, with just 14 per cent of people saying they preferred him as Labor leader.
The fallout from the Australia Day protest has yet to settle but the government's controversial decision to dump the pokie deal with Mr Wilkie appears not to have damaged the government with Labor's primary vote rising five points from its October 2011 low of 29 per cent.
Still four points behind its 2010 election result, Labor is six points behind where it would need to be in a winnable position.
The Coalition's primary vote slid slightly from 51 per cent to 48 per cent.
But on a two-party preferred basis, the Coalition leads Labor 54 to 46, meaning if an election were held today Labor would face a heavy defeat.
"While the poll suggests that Labor is back within striking distance of the Coalition, Julia Gillard continues to trail Kevin Rudd as the best choice to lead the federal Labor Party by a wide margin," Galaxy CEO David Briggs said.
"If Bill Shorten was to enter the fray, this would only serve to confirm that Kevin Rudd is the best choice of leader in the current federal Labor Party.
"Bill Shorten does not enjoy the same level of awareness as the current prime minister or her predecessor.
"With him as a third option, support for Kevin Rudd as leader slips from 52 per cent to 44 per cent but he still leads Julia Gillard, 30 per cent, by a wide margin."
The national poll of 1001 voters is the first indicator of Ms Gillard and Labor's prospects for the coming year and was conducted over Friday night and Saturday.

Software icon Murthy moots three-language formula in schools.....
Software icon N R Narayana Murthy has advocated a three-language formula in Indian schools to boost employment opportunities and slammed people in power who are advocating only local language education for the poor while sending their wards to English-medium institutions.
"All the leaders that I know of – whether corporate leaders, bureaucrats, politicians – they send their children to English-medium schools. Why are they saying it's (English- medium education) is bad for poorer people?", the Co-Founder of Infosys asked.
Murthy was speaking at a function here last night to release the book 'Upwordly Mobile' written by Ranjini Manian, Founder and CEO of cross-cultural training and services firm Global Adjustment.
"So, if we want the poorer people also to have opportunities, then we have to create opportunities for poorer people also to allow them learn whatever they want."
Murthy, Chairman Emeritus at the Bangalore-headquartered, NASDAQ-listed IT major, admitted that "the sad thing about all of us, including me...older people is that we make decisions with our mindset."
"We make decisions with our capability. We think that children are limited in their capability as I am at my age. That's not true. My personal feeling is that children are extremely smart," he said.
Murthy called for creating a policy whereby every child is given full freedom to pursue mother-tongue, the language of the country and English.
"Every child can learn all the three languages very comfortably. Therefore, the child will have (employment) opportunities in the state, opportunities within the country and opportunities within the globe," Murthy said.
"So, it's just a question of taking hard decision and it's just a question of our realising that our children have enormous potential. Let us try this three-language formula."
Giving an example, he said a child from Maharashtra coming to study in any grade in Karnataka should be made to learn Kannada of Class I standard, as he stressed the need to respect state language and benefit from local culture.
"Whenever anybody comes from other states, as long as their children start with first year (learning the local language) in whatever languages Kannada...Tamil...or whatever state they are in, that is okay. Then children will learn the language and it is easy for them and at the same time they respect the (local) culture and language of the state," he observed.
"Not just for Westerners, for people who come from other states, I think it is important to learn the local language. It is not to make you more efficient, more productive but to appreciate the nuances of the culture and to appreciate all the good things that the culture offers," he added.
