Rahul to take stock of Maha affairs

All-India Congress Committee general secretary Rahul Gandhi will be in the city on Friday. He will be meeting the elected state and district committees of Maharashtra and the Mumbai NSUI in the morning and the newly-elected members of local self-government bodies in the afternoon before proceeding to Satara to visit drought-affected areas on Saturday.
Mr Gandhi’s one-day visit to Mumbai on Friday is being viewed in party circles as a move to put the state unit into a proactive mode and retrieve lost ground.
Rahul’s schedule includes meetings with elected representatives from local bodies and office-bearers of block, district and state units. This is the first time the youth leader will be participating in a political stock-taking exercise in a state, where the Congress has been in power since 1999.
He had visited Mumbai two years ago for a Youth Congress enrolment drive and interacted with college students. Rahul had also undertaken a surprise ride in a suburban train.
Sources said, apart from participating in a meeting between Youth Congress and NSUI office-bearers, he will hold discussions with block and district unit presidents from across Maharashtra at Tilak Bhavan.

Rahul to tour u.p. again
Age Correspondent
New Delhi, April 26

About a month after the Uttar Pradesh state elections verdict, Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi has set out to tour the state again, beginning with his Parliamentary constituency Amethi. Mr Gandhi, who had recently reviewed the poll performance in UP, would be spending three days in Amethi to interact with party workers there.
Mr Gandhi’s office on Thursday stated that the Congress general secretary would visit Amethi from April 30 to May 2 to interact with party workers. The Congress, in the Assembly lections, had fared poorly in the Amethi parliamentary constituency also.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
