The play revolves around a clinic that is run by a lady doctor who is a smart business woman with only one or two regular patients yet making a comfortable living. The patients on the other hand who visits has a different motive and end up coming injured and don’t mind spending heavily on her fees. The compounder to add up the spice is a hopeless romantic and a roadside shayar, who makes continuous efforts to win the lady love or to be precise “any lady’s love”. Will the compounder succeeds or the Cop from opposite police station will have a upper hand or patient wins the heart will be hilarious to watch. The play is a compilation of jokes put together in a story form adding music and dance to spice it up. OlLolomatta is a word that is commonly used by Core Hyderbadis which means “don’t mind, its a joke”

TSRTC strike – the why, what, who and how? The indefinite strike announced by the unions of TSRTC has taken the state of Telangana and the rest of the country but shock. The demands made by the striking employees were discussed and debated extensively but the confusion still remains. While a number of individuals, organisations and other unions have come out in support of the TSRTC unions, the ruling government remains adamant on not addressing the demands. In this back ground, Sai Ratna Chaitanya, known to everyone as Ratnam will be talking about what the demands are, how strikes in the past have actually impacted and why state transport undertakings need to be financed in a better way. Ratnam is a bus fan and a public transport enthusiast who, along with his friends runs the love of Z blog.

The Great Dictator is a 1940 American political satire comedy-drama film written, directed, produced, scored by, and starring British comedian Charlie Chaplin, following the tradition of many of his other films.

Chaplin’s film advanced a stirring condemnation of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, fascism, antisemitism, and the Nazis. This makes it all the more relevant for us to watch it, read it, learn from it in the current India regime. The Great Dictator was popular with audiences, becoming Chaplin’s most commercially successful film.Modern critics have also praised it as an historically significant film and an important work of satire, and in 1997, it was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.

“Misinformation – The India Story”

The spectre of misinformation is upon us. But how did we get here? Who are the players and who are the targets? Is it organised or is it coincidental? Is mainstream media a part of the problem or a part of the solution? What is the way out? What are the social media platforms doing? What is the Government doing? Is it a lost cause?
