Ms. Priyanka Chopra, Climbing Star from Bollywood to Hollywood, is entitled to her own ways, to make quick greenbacks, but why all this hullabaloo about conferring Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Awards to her? Dadasaheb Phalke was the Grand Old Man and the Pioneer of Indian Film Industry of the EARLY 20th Century. Government of India in 1969 constituted a 'Dadasaheb Phalke Award', the highest in the Indian Film World. Ms. Devika Rani, the heroine of the Indian Film Industry in its infancy was the first Recipient. Greats like Satyajit Ray, Shanta Ram, were among its recipients. Usually, this Award is delivered and received from the President of India, the Head of State. The latest recipient of the Award is Telugu Film Director K. Viswanath, who has produced many memorable off-the-beaten-track classical musical films. It appears that our Heroines and Heroes are not willing to wait till some of them get the coveted award from the Government of India. A parallel 'Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Awards' have been created to quench the thirst of the ambitious stars who have made big bucks in India or abroad, or both.
Who approaches whom for these Awards? Who pays whom for these Awards?
Indian Citizens know something about the traditional Official Dadasaheb Phalke Awards, announced and conferred by Government of India, as the Conferment of the Awards by President of India gets wide publicity both in Print and Electronic Media. But they know very little about the "Phalke Academy Awards". While this is so, a new category by name International Acclaimed Actress Award seems to have been introduced for accommodating the BollyHolly star Ms. Priyanka Chopra.
Did Ms. Priyanka Chopra approach the Academy for an Award? Has the Academy approached the actress on its own volition?
Ans: Not known.
Did Ms. Peecee donate any bucks to the Academy to induce them to introduce "International Acclaimed Actress" Award?
Ans: not known. Ordinarily, awards carry some citation, some cup/trophy/memento, and some cash. That means, the Academy has to incur some expense on these counts. Is Ms. Chopra reimbursing them their out of pocket expenses. Ans: Not known.
Is the Phalke Academy is so publicity crazy, and publicity starved, that it is compelled to invite Ms. Priyanka Chopra, so as to 'pull crowds' for their functions
Ans. May be.
Both Print Media and Electronic Media are giving so much publicity for this event. What proportion of it is paid News, and what proportion of it is free news?
Ans: Not known.

Do Yogis need Sofas, Carpets, AirConditioners, Curtains to console mourning family members of a martyr?
Ans: It appears so. For this question, this ybrao-a-donkey is incompetent to reply. Only the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, who is a self-proclaimed Yogi, can reply to this question.

Today's Telugu verse
From Sumati Satakam, by 14th CE poet BaddenAmAtya.
సిరి తా వచ్చిన వచ్చును siri tA vaccina vaccunu
సలలితముగ నారికేళ సలిలము భంగిన్ salalitamuga nArikELa salilamu bhangin
సిరి తా పోయిన పోవును siri tA pOyina pOvunu
కరి మ్రింగిన వెలగపండు కరణిని సుమతీ! kari mringina velaga panDu karaNini sumatI !!
Approx. English gist: 1st line: When wealth comes, it comes,
2nd line: a la the water (juice) in a coconut fruit.
3rd line: When Wealth goes, it goes,
4th line: like the pulp in a stone apple fruit swallowed by an elephant.
Note: It is a 14th Century CE Deccan belief that when an elephant swallows a stone-apple, without breaking its stony epicarp-pericarp, it digests the fruit's pulp, and excretes a hollow fruit.
Purport-Discourse: When wealth comes it comes silently. When it leaves, it makes no noise. Everything takes place silently, as if it happens stealthily. So, the sofas , air conditioner, carpet, curtains, all have come and gone like 'siri'.
To come back and continue adding / deleting / modifying . सशेष. ఇంకా ఉంద.
