Backwater Media and Entertainment, a media company, makers of Kerala Cafe’ is coming up with a new project, which will have 10 short stories, directed by 10 different directors. The idea is not new, I have seen one in Hindi, which was something I enjoyed and its a good try from well know Malayalam film director Renjith who will not be directing any of these 10 stories, but will be co-ordinating this project.

The Malayalam film industry is not doing well currently and such kind of projects could help in bringing it back to a healthy position. We need to wait and see how this project goes as its still under production. The 10 directors has been been signed and most of the top stars are expected to be casted in this. Twenty Twenty a movie with a difference had done very well in the Box office and I feel something with some difference could do better than the regular ones.

What will happened to me? I have many things to sort out back in India after I get there. I have to send my kid to school, deal with my own business and Income tax matters, settle certain fixed expenses, etc.. It is not only my case but many of you are thinking of the same, right? It is most going to affect the International passengers rather than the domestic.

Who should use a mask? and What mask should be used against H1N1 virus?

People are running around to get masks like simple mask, surgical mask and N95 mask to get protected from H1N1 virus but a new facial mask has been developed and sold like hot cakes in the Majestic area in Bangalore. We can classified it as a homemade mask since it is made from a lingerie. The process is very simple since you need a used or new "bra" and very little thread. First cut bra into half in the middle and put thread on one side and the other side is already having a strap and looks very much like a surgical mask. After using as a mask if you want to use it as a bra, you need only few stitches extra in the middle.

Now media suspects that whether Bra manufacturers are behind the swine flu virus.

About 25 students from IIM (Indian Institute of Management) Ahmedabad are yet to get their placement. This is for the first time this has happened and this could be because of the Global recession. Usually, these students are grabbed by the time results are out, but this time its the other way round. Usually private companies and government enterprises battle for the best brains in business in the month of March every year

IIM-A is considered as one of the top 25 business schools in the world. The financial giants – Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lunch were the biggest recruiters from the IIMs – Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta. These banks were affected due to the recession and global slowdown. Last year, IIM Bangalore had received around 20 job offers from the banks.

Global Recession is the reason for layoffs and such a state for the IIM pass outs were never anticipated.
