She did her graduation in Computer applications, which is also known as BCA. She was never interested in getting into the software industry, and as an alternative wanted to get into the fitness world. She became an instructor for Yoga. Puri Jagannadh happened to see her, and this is how Anushka was selected for Super.

Sexy Anushka who has a figure to die for, her image among the audiences has been a favorite and desired target for rumormongers. She has always been over flooded with gossip and rumors. Lately, it has been reported that sexy Anushka is in romance with an upcoming young hero. This news has been reported in the leading newspapers and also at numerous websites.

Anushka shetty’s Tamil debut film named ‘Rendu’ did not get a satisfactory response at the box office, but her glamorous, hot and sexy appearance in the two sequenced songs perfectly fascinated the glam adorers. However, her brilliant performance in the Tamil dubbed version of film named ‘Arundhathi’, earned her countless fans, which were from every lifestyles. People predicted that after the release of Singam, Siruthai and Vettaikaran, she would become the number 1 film actress in the Tamil industry.

It is not at all easy and simple to meet up the expectations and prospects of oneself and the audience, but the sizzling, glamorous, hot, glamorous, and sexy Anushka got her loyal and loving fans all twisted around her little fingers. Whereas she is consistently providing a sizzling performance for her fans, she also has thrown few surprising and shocking acts in meaty roles. Showing her acting competence and prowess in the film named ‘Arundhathi’, she did an extremely stunning and thriving role in a Telugu film named ‘Billa’. In her upcoming Telugu film named ‘Vedam’, she is portraying a role of a prostitute. This film has Manchu Manoj and Allu Arjun in the leading roles.

This news has been spread all over the Internet and especially over a Tamil website that Anushka is now always seen in the studios holding a cigarette in her hand and smoke coming out of her mouth. She has actually become a chain smoker as she keeps on lighting one cigarette after another. ‘Why’ has been asked several times from her and in response she is using this smoking approach to trim her body.

Her fans are not able to believe this statement as she is a yoga instructor and she can maintain her body perfectly through yoga, and if she is smoking than she cannot do Pranayama and yoga.

There are business sectors that do quite well during the good times, like tourism, fine dining, and casinos. But many of these boon-thriving industries fail to perform well during the hard times. These are the top ten most resilient industries.

1. Fast Food. When the economic times are hard, no one wants to spend more than twenty dollars for a meal. People tend to go to fast food chains to have lunch or dinner at a friendly price. They dont mind high carb or high fat content of the food. They just want to eat! Many fast food restaurants offer combo meals that provide savings for customers. Value meals during recession are more than attractive. No wonder McDonalds was doing great during the recent recession.

2. Film. The movie industry has proved to be more resilient than most other industries out there. Going to a cinema seems a lavish expenditure during a downturn, but people prefer watching a movie to buying a DVD copy of it, which is a more expensive recourse. Not only did people go to cinemas but also did they rent movies online. Online movie rentals increased during the recession. Many people realized that it makes more sense to just rent a film than to buy a copy. Anyway, they would only watch it once or twice.

3. Junk Food. It so happened that more people tend to buy snacks when the economy took a free fall. Candy makers, soda companies, and chocolate manufacturers all saw increased sales during the recession. Psychologists believe that having a piece of candy or a bar of chocolate makes you look back to a simpler life.

4. Energy. People didnt stop consuming electricity or gas during the recession. In the modern world, it is hard to think of existence without needing energy sources. Even though people had to save on electrical consumption during the recession, the energy industry remained alive simply because you cannot live without TV, fridge, washing machine, and internet.

5. Virtual Assistance. More people are acquiring work online. As business owners wanted to cut back overhead, they had to farm out much of the office work. This is why the terms virtual assistants and virtual secretaries became popular.

6. Online Selling. Many online stores also saw a boon during the recession. During the recession people spent more time indoors. Shopping at brick-and-mortar shops was like a grave sin. They instead turned to online shopping, which is more convenient. Its also easy to spot promos and discounts online.

7. Repossession. Many people were not able to pay dues on items bought on installment payment basis. Failure of payment leads to repossession of an item. The seller or company usually hires a repossession agency to handle the recovery of the item.

8. Repair Services. People had to save money during the downturn and they were reluctant to buy new things. Broken phones or faulty cameras were likely to be sent to repair shops instead of be replaced with new ones.

9. Health Care. The need for health care services did not stop during the recession. People still needed to go to their doctors and buy medications. No one wanted to ignore their health concerns.

10. Education. The rise in unemployment did not deter young people from going to college and pursuing higher education. Even professionals had to go back to school to earn more skills.

Biomass boiler packages service the wood industryburning waste products ranging from excess wood, wood chips, coconut husks, or even cocoa bean shells to create steam that can then be used to generate power.

The Indian automobile industries as well as the industry related businesses are experiencing unprecedented growth. Associated sectors of the automotive industry are also developing and growing in a manner where they are forming independent competitive markets and recognized industries by themselves. The battery industry is one of the leading sectors in this respect. While, in the past, the battery industry was essentially an ancillary of the automotive industry, today, the battery industry has become a full-fledged industry sector on its own.
Exide technologies continue to be the world-leader in the battery industries. It is one of the biggest producers, distributors, and recyclers in the field of lead-acid cells, and sells them in over 80 countries. The Prestolite brand of batteries is a part of Exide technology launched by Tudor India in 1997.

In Gujarat, Tudor India arranged a meeting of its dealers and distributors at La Meridien Hotel for this purpose. The meeting, held on 17th November was attended by Mr. Ken Honge, the Vice President of Exide, the company’s Sales Director, Mr. Jasbir Mata, and Marketing Manager, Mr. Rahul Sagre among others. The meet discussed the present situation of the battery industry and shared the future planning of the company with its dealers and distributors.
The meeting was opened with the speech of Mr. Harish Gandhi, the Regional Sales Manager for Gujarat, who introduced Mr. Ken Honge, and welcomed the participants. After the introductory speech, the thread was picked up by Mr. Rahul Sagre, who gave an in-depth briefing of Exide company’s present status and future vision to the distributors.

Mr. Jasbir Mata told the distributors that more aggressive marketing was needed on their part so that Prestolite could maintain its market lead and expand to new territories. He stressed upon the need of after-sales service and customer service.

The general industry perception is that while the automotive industry, as a whole, has well-recovered from the effects of the global economic depression and has returned to the fast-track, the lead-acid battery sector has fallen behind and is yet to catch up to the pace of recovery. It is principally to address this anomaly that the Vice President of Exide Technology, Mr. Ken Honge visited India on a business research tour.

Mr. Mata was of the opinion that with the strong brand leads the distributors enjoyed with Prestolite, and with the global leading position of Exide technologies to back them, the distributors were in a sound position to accelerate growth and forge ahead of competition. Mr. Ken Honge shared the history of Exide Technologies and provided information on new technologies in lead-acid batteries. He stressed on the importance of India as a growing economy and one of the fastest developing markets of the world. He stressed that without proactive steps taken by the distributors it would be difficult to experience the desired brand growth in a dynamic economy like India.
