Megastar Rajinikant, who will turn 64 on Saturday, has requested his fans to call off all plans for his birthday due to the grave situation caused by heavy rains in Tamil Nadu.

The actor’s birthday is usually celebrated like a ritual in Tamil Nadu.

“As Tamil Nadu is limping back to normalcy after being struck by the worst rains in over a century, Rajinikant has requested his fans to join hands and help the rain savaged people in relief work,” a source close to the actor told IANS.

According to the source, the star feels extending help to the people of the state is more important than celebrating his birthday.

It is also learnt that the official announcement regarding Enthiran 2, which was planned to be announced on the occasion of Rajinikant’s birthday, has been postponed indefinitely.

Currently shooting for his next Tamil outing Kabali, Rajinikant will be seen playing a gangster in the film.

EPA and the regulation of greenhouse gasses

This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning.

iPad Pro Review

The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant.
