Mr.Narendra Modi at the Centre, Dr.K.Chandrasekhar Rao in Telangana and Mr.N.Chandrababu Naidu in Andhra Pradesh
have taken the reins of governance. We congratulate them for their landslide victory and hope they will put the country on the fast
track of progress. It is also time Mr.Naidu and Mr. KCR buried the hatchet and moved on with their respective developmental
plans for the newly-formed states. Let us hope Mr.Modi will stick to his word on special packages to these states and Mr. Naidu
keeps his promise of developing all the districts equally. Let the people of Andhra Pradesh not turn back after five years and
regret losing Hyderabad. I urge both the governments to work in tandem to build two exemplary states.
The place of pride, the cover space is given to Adah. The actor, though new to Tollywood, has created a niche for herself.
Designer Jeeja Valsaraj imports the latest trends to the city and keeps the girls-next-door in the main loop of fashion. Anjum
Babukhan had left the comforts of the US to educate the future citizens of India. The Eve segment speaks of these two ladies
who have been contributing significantly to the society in their own unique ways.
Mr. G.Shivkumar, is one among the firsts to have helped the city log onto IT field. He has punched the right keys and what we
see on display is sweet success. He shares the GenX space with Mr.Chaitania, an ardent equestrian, who won the race at a very
young age.
Mr.M.V.Satyanarayna, in charge of expansive Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation, has many plans for its
betterment and development. We present the man and his mission in Life.
After a hectic schedule and hard work of putting the magazine together, I seemed to have got a well-earned and wonderful
break in the form of my 25th birthday. I am overwhelmed by the warmth and wishes that poured in from the members of the
family and friends. It is only fitting that I express my gratitude to my father, mother and my beloved sister, who shower me with
unconditional love and affection and stand by me in any and every situation. I also thank all my well wishers who remembered
me on my birthday and made it the most memorable day for the years to come.
I wish to wind up, touching once again on the sweeping changes the country has witnessed recently. Together we will
script a glorious future for India, tweeted Mr. Modi after taking oath. I assure him that we, the youth, are equally motivated
to do our bit.

Good article and pictures too. Though
the issue was in the market even
before the elections were held, people
thought that it was my first interview

especially has some sweet moments
during the photo shoot. However,
I missed my two girls and their families
in the pictures.

AKSHARA TURNS ONE
Balloons and balloons, one little candle on the cake,
one birthday wish to make, our little princess is about to
turn one, so we have a big party that is sure to be so
much fun, read the invitation card itself, giving just a
hint how excited the family was for this special occasion.
Of course, when it is about the celebration of the first
birthday of a baby girl in a family that did not see a girl
child in five decades, the revelry ought to be a grand
one. That was what exactly happened when
grandparents Mr. V.L.V. Satyanarayana and
Mrs. Padmalatha, uncle Mr.V.Yagnesh Bharath and aunt
Ms.Divya and the proud parents Mr.V.Hari Pavan and
Ms.Priyanka celebrated the first birthday of the adorable
Akshara. Though held on a grand scale, the event saw
only a few close friends and family members attending it
as the celebration was kept as a very private affair.
The star of the day baby Akshara looked absolutely
endearing in a traditional dress. Donning a Princess
theme, the Park, which was chosen as the venue for this
special occasion, was looking nothing less than a fairy
world. Leading event manager and decorator, Ms.Alka
Jaju was given the responsibility to wave her creative
wand to build a magical space. A special castle of
balloons was erected, which was the entry to the little
princess Aksharas world. Fairies, angels, flowers and
many such elements adorned the set. The hosts
ensured every aspect of the celebration to be an a uber
lavish affair. Thus the Executive Chef Srinath Sambandan
took charge of the epicure segment personally. A grand
spread of delicacies was served to satiate the guests.
However, the prime attraction of the gastronomic affair
was the specialty of the Krishna district to which the
hosts belong, prepared personally by Mr. Srinath.

REDEFINING HEALTH CARE

REVIEW
Continental hospitals set up a world class Oncology department with a goal to arrest cancer at the right time and make cancer
a history to their patients.
The hospital in Gachibowli is built with an objective to bring world class health care within the reach of the common man in India.
Built over a 30000sq ft area, the Centre is equipped with most advanced technology. Dr. Ramanamoorthy Chitti said that his
radiation Oncology department had acquired the state of art advanced technology TrueBeam Stx linear accelerator.
The hospital ambience itself lifts your spirits and the personal care rendered here assures you that you are in safe hands.
Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) approach and clinical effectiveness are essential parts of our work ethos. Treatment strategies are
drawn by a team of doctors drawn from various disciplines. We also focus on post-treatment follow up, says Dr. Praveen
Dadireddy, Consultant Surgical Oncologist.
The problem here is lack of guidance. Patients dont know which institution is right for them. There are institutes that rush to take
up surgeries and therapies to appease the patients who are naturally in a hurry to get cured. Cancer treatment is time consuming.
The patients should educate themselves before getting into the treatment mode. Medicine is an interdependent science and not an
independent science. The right treatment, given at the right time can cure any disease, says Dr. Guru N Reddy, Chairman.
Different types of cancer warrant different treatment strategies and Continental has in-house super-specialists who have experience
in treating cancer that affects specific area like breast, brain, lever, GI etc. The hospital also conducts health camps at schools,
corporate houses and rural areas. It has reserved a hotline to answer any queries that patients or their family members may have
and they are encouraged to avail this opportunity.

Bcomes the new place to chill out. Located besides Neerus Emporium, air is definitely the place that anyone would fall in love. This open to air lounge definitely lives up to its name. As soon as you walk into the lounge, a splash of breeze welcomes you and
the beautifully laid sofas promise to be your comfortable companions for the rest of the evening. Complementing the ambience,
the widespread of lip-smacking menu promises to satisfy your taste buds. The mocktails and cocktails are a must try and are the

As the evening turns into night, the lounge seems to change colours as it dazzles with lights sprinkling an air of liveliness and joy.
With everything so perfect it becomes difficult to sign off from the place.
So, next time you want to relax after a hectic day or want to just chillax with your friends or want to party hard, you know where to

ow interesting it would be if your kids can flaunt an elephant-shaped book or a shoe-shaped stationery box? Sounds perfect.
HIsnt it? Hyderabadis who would like to give a different touch to their childrens stationery and gifting options, now have a new store to look at. Located on Road No 7, Banjara Hills, Templetree has a wide range of items. Sonali Maniar conceptualised this
innovative store line in Mumbai in 2006. After successful stints in Mumbai and Bangalore, Templetree is here.
Walk into the store, the bright ambience and the neatly arranged colourful paper creations steal your heart. The kids would just love
the place and the interesting stationery. Adults too are bound to wish they were kids. In addition to the exclusive stationery, there is
a good range of return gifts, money envelopes and invitation cards. The store also undertakes orders for packing presents and
shaguns for weddings, birthday parties and functions. Homemakers can explore the wide range of storage baskets, dining
accessories like coasters, table mats and runners. The store has products ranging from Rs.60 to Rs.1,300. It also provides a
platform for products made by different NGOs from across the country. In addition to the current product range, the store plans to
add some more products like handbags that are useful and eco friendly.
As a child I had this liking for making scrapbooks and I used to make them for my friends as well. This latent creative flair took a
concrete shape when I visited the Bangalore store which is owned by my family friend Rachana. I just fell in love with the concept
and the range of products, says the charming and dynamic 23-year-Saranya who runs the Hyderabad franchise.
With an array of options and a creative team to assist, you are assured of the best service. When you wish to dispel your kids
blues, it can be destination Templetree.

ASHOK MAKES IT BIG
North Andhra is jubilant as Ashok Gajapathi Raju, the
lone MP from the TDP from Vizianagaram made it to the
Union cabinet. The gentleman politician and scion of
Pusapati royal family has been handpicked by
TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu to serve as the voice
of the regional party at the Centre and stand for the
interests of North Andhra. It is the most defining moment
of Ashoks political career spanning over 35 years.
Incidentally, Ashok who once aspired to be a pilot holds
Civil Aviation berth. Had he become a pilot, he would
have only headed the crew of his flight. But now he has
the entire aviation sector under his wings. Ashok, who
proved his mettle as finance and revenue minister
in the state, is sure to take the countrys air connectivity
in general and that of Seemandhra in particular, to new
heights. For vexed Vizianagariks, who suffered Botsa till
recently, Ashok comes as a whiff of fresh air.
REALTY TO REEL
It wont be wrong to call him the macho player in the
realm of realty. To justify it further, lets take a deeper
look. He is known as the builder and body builder.
No more guesses, he is M.V.V. Satyanarayana.
A passionate man with a creative mind, he is far
different from his counterparts. He spends
dedicated time for bodybuilding and fitness and has
a great penchant for super bikes. Recently he has
added one more area to his creative pursuits, i.e.
films. He has produced a woman-oriented movie
casting Anjali in the lead which is slated to release
this month. A very candid MVV tells his close
associates that he may switch to movies
completely, shifting his focus from construction, if
everything goes well. He feels that the silver screen
has a lot more to offer compared to the dry field of
construction. There is a talk that he may even
launch his son as a hero. Time has to reveal how
tall his reel ventures will be!
VICTIMIZED VIJAYAMMA
It is a case of more sinned against
than sinning when Vijayamma paid
dearly with her defeat for the follies of
her coterie. Despite her clean image,
she had to face a humiliating defeat
because of her so called supporters. It
was said that the YSRCP goons who
accompanied her to the city to
campaign had given a taste of the
Kadapa faction culture to the
peace-loving Vizagites, that obviously
left a bitter taste in their mouths. The
YSRCP men went to the extent of
threatening the members of the
Chowdary community that they would
be brought to their knees, once
Vijayamma came to power. Countering
these threats, the communitys bigwigs
huddled into a meeting where it was
resolved that attempts to import faction
politics into the tranquil region would
not be tolerated. Besides taking the
message to the voters most effectively,
they rendered their rock solid support
to BJP candidate K. Haribabu and
ensured his thumping victory.
RUDDERING VPT
Senior IAS officer M.T. Krishna Babu, who took
charge as the Chairman of the Visakhapatnam
Port Trust, is no stranger to Vizag as he served
here as the Joint Collector earlier. The
prestigious VPT is not only synonymous with
Vizag, but also is a major contributor to the
regions coffers. In addition to the privilege of
heading an all important organization like VPT,
Krishna Babu also enjoys the reputation of
being an impeccably clean bureaucrat. The
locals, who are happy about his return, repose
immense faith in him. The buzz is that the
beleaguered VPT will flourish into a profit-
making entity under his able stewardship. For
Krishna Babu who already has a number of
well-wishers and friends in the region, it
certainly i
