Rahul Gandhi to address students at University to California, Berkeley


Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi will on Monday address students at a US university, but will not be giving any talk on artificial intelligence.
Tweets by the Congress Vice President's office, and Sam Pitroda, chairman of Overseas Congress, said Gandhi's programme in the US included a series of events in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington and New York.
"Looking forward to addressing students @UCBerkeley & interacting w/Indian Overseas Congress members w/@sampitroda during my visit to the US (sic)," Rahul Gandhi's office tweeted.
Pitroda, who is involved with planning the events, told IANS in an email that Gandhi will not attend the Artificial Intelligence Conference.
"Rahul Gandhi will be travelling from September 10 to attend various events in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington and New York. He is not coming for the AI conference," he said.
Pitroda added that he will also meet "a few important people, listening, interacting and giving a few public speeches including one at the University of California, Berkeley on September 11".
"He will be addressing a major event in New York organised by the Indian Overseas Congress on September 20," he said.
In a series of tweets, Pitroda said: "He is coming to meet with students and academicians and various thinking people in the US. He will be giving a talk at University of California, Berkeley. He will be also meeting with Indian Overseas Congress members and others."
Gandhi is expected to speak on contemporary India and the path forward at Berkeley. India's first Prime Minister and Gandhi's great grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru had delivered a speech at Berkeley in 1949.
       This is going to be a history. May many of the people hates him because of his deeds durig their days of ruling but he also has talents and potential. Many of the people who trolled him should focuss on his talent.

What genre could Prabhas’ 'Saaho' be?

The Prabhas starrer Saaho began shooting a couple of months ago after the team impressed movie buffs with a teaser. With Prabhas playing the lead role in the film after hogging the limelight with the spectacular Baahubali, which went on becoming a huge hit, expectations about what Saaho could be about have risen. In fact, it was made clear much earlier that Saaho would belong to a very different genre from what Baahubali was. The latest we hear about the project is that it is a complete action entertainer with the lead star appearing in a stylish avatar. Movie buffs are eager to know more details about the film and the latest info we have on it is that ‘Saaho’ is a name. Reportedly, Sharaddha Kapoor, who plays the female lead in the project, had disclosed this detail to a media house. However, the actor refused to disclose whose name it is in the film, but the guesses are that it must to be Prabhas’ name. Written and directed by Sujeeth, the film has a bevy of stars in the ca

The growing craze for online Ludo

One morning earlier this year, Vikash Jaiswal, the developer who created the online game Ludo King, received a strange phone call that woke him up. It was from a young man in Bihar, calling at 5 am to demand the cheat code for Ludo King. His entire town was playing it, the man said, and people were betting on it. Pleading for the cheat code, he said, “I’ll share the earnings with you.” That was just one of the things that brought home to Jaiswal how widespread his game had become. Ludo King, made by Jaiswal’s company Gametion in Mumbai, is currently India’s most popular free online game, and was launched on Google Play in January 2016.
