Cartosat-2B sent high quality images of the Indian landmass (Madurai,Allahabad)
The images were taken by the satellite's panchromatic camera, which has a high resolution of 0.8 metre. That is, it can image even small objects such as cycles and mopeds on the road, and sheep and cattle grazing on meadows.
The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C15) of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) put Cartosat-2B and four other satellites in orbit on July 12. It was launched from Sriharikota.
P.S. Veeraraghavan, Director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) in Thiruvananthapuram, said Cartosat-2B was in good health and that “it has taken a good number of pictures.”
He said the images of Madurai included the famous Meenakshi temple with its gopurams (towers), the railway junction and a running train, the airport with parked aircraft, and another temple situated in the centre of a tank.
The images of Allahabad showed a fort in the town and the Triveni Sangam.

AirCondition threatens frescoes in Madurai Meenakshi Temple
The edifice has many natural vents which act as a natural cooling system. But with trees disappearing from the surroundings of the temple and concrete structures taking their place, the temple environs have become stuffy and according to the priests, it is difficult to stay inside for more than an hour. ‘‘The air inside becomes hot and we develop headaches,’’ said a priest.
A donor has now come forward to air-condition the sanctums of goddess Sri Meenakshi and Lord Sundareswarar. Huge steel pipes will bring in cooled air from two 18-tonne air conditioners and vents would circulate the air in the area where devotees gather for darshan.
Sundaram (82) of North Veli street in Madurai, who has been frequenting the temple right from his childhood, said, ‘‘Earlier entering the temple after walking in the hot sun was very relieving since the interior was cool. But over the past 10 to 15 years, I have noticed that it becomes extremely hot inside the sanctum sanctorum, primarily because of the large crowds that visit the temple. The proposal for the air-conditioning is a welcome move.’’
Temple sources said high-rise buildings and traffic pollution had contributed to the heat inside the temple. Speaking to TOI, joint commissioner of Sri Meenakshi temple K Rajanayagam said the AC work would be completed in a few weeks.

Ragini wants to stay in Kollywood
Ragini, who debuted with Veera Madakkeri in Kannada, has done three films in a span of just six months in Sandalwood and is all set to do the remake of the Telugu film Shourayam.
Talking about her first Tamil film, she says, “I’m really excited and looking forward to the release of Ariyaan. It’s the storyline and the fabulous music that attracted me to the film. I’m thankful to producer Prabhdeesh Samuel and the entire team. He was very particular about me doing the role.”
Ragini plays the role of a spoilt daughter of a wealthy man in the film. Says she, “The role is very different. The role I play in the film is that of a person who lives life as she pleases. She is bubbly, fun loving and arrogant. An accidental meeting with a shy, simple boy changes her life and it’s the twist in the climax that will be the highlight.”
The beautiful actress seems to be bitten hard by the Kollywood bug and says that she is all ready to rock the industry. “I’m looking to grab roles in Tamil. Kollywood is a place of world famous technicians. The quality of the films and the way they are made are all unique and fabulous. Who wouldn’t want to be part of such an industry,” she asks.
She adds that if she gets more offers in Tamil, she doesn’t mind shifting her home to Chennai.
Talking about her immediate plans, she says, “I would like to work with all the leading stars of Kollywood and I’m learning Tamil now. I haven’t taken up acting by chance. I want to stay here,” she clarifies. Like many others, Ragini too found fame through modelling. The daughter of an army officer, this Punjabi girl says that her family too is quite excited about her career. “Usually, I listen to scripts along with one of my family members and we jointly decide as to whether I should do the film or not,” she says.
Even as she pursues her film career, the actress is also doing her third semester in B A. However, she says that her hectic schedules have got in the way of her studies. But she has no regrets. “I’m enjoying doing films and I don’t feel I’m missing out on fun except for the fact that I have considerably reduced the number of ramp shows ,” she says.
Apparently, this pretty model has learnt how to manage her career, relationships and gossip. On her apparent link up with Sudeep, her co-star in a Kannada film, she says, “When you are into films, it’s natural that your personal or professional friendships come under the scanner. I’m mature enough to handle it.” Ask her if she seeing someone and she says, “I have just started my career and I think things on the personal front can wait for sometime. Besides, I want to do good films, gain experience and want to make a mark in Bollywood as well.” Way to go, babe!
