A dream that came True...

2011-04-02T22:47:00.001+05:30

Kudos to Indian team for the magnificent display of elegant quality of cricket.

I was a small kid way back in 1983, when India has won the World Cup for the first time. After a long waiting of 27 years, the dream of two new generations to witness the World Cup has come true.

This victory means a lot for the billion population of our country. When the whole country is frustrated with inflation, recession, unimaginable scams etc., the World Cup has brought a reason to smile.

Without any doubt, April 2^nd 2011 is a great day in the history of India. Of course this is my come back to blogging after a long gap of nearly a year.

How to revive Indian Hockey?

2010-03-08T22:13:00.000+05:30

Wait for 2-3 years. Few more countries will learn to play hockey better than India.

India will fail to qualify for the major tournaments. And everyone will start remembering the past glories and eventually forget the hockey!

Priorities

2010-03-08T11:44:00.001+05:30

When all Indian politicians are fancying around Women Reservation Bill, the man who introduced it in Lok Sabha, an Ex-PM (1996), is too much busy in protesting against a road project!!

A miracle?

Earlier, Muslim women were not allowed to go out of their house. But the scenario has changed slowly. Today, Muslim women are pursuing higher studies and are working in many jobs which were once dominated by males. This evolution has happened without throwing out Burqa. The struggle for existence has changed the mindset of people world wide with the unforeseen challenges of increased population. But still they is lot of regressive forces which equally keep pulling the rope backwards.

One such force of course comes from the "highly educated" section of our society, i.e,. writers and thinkers. They think too much and think only to their level.

Even today, they are not ready to accept the gradual, steady, slow changes that has happened in our society, whether it is education of a girl child or the issue of untouchables. They simply keep on fishing in the disturbed waters. They should encourage and inspire the people. If they can't do that, at least they should keep quite by not raising the dead issues like Burqua... I have no hopes that they do.

On every 28th February, National Science Day is observed to mark Raman Effect (which C. V. Raman discovered on the same day long back in 1928).

It is unfortunate that entire nation have no time to bother about this great day. Only few prestigious science institutes arrange some meaningful programs on this day. Once again, the media is very busy with the "Breaking News"

Congrats Sachin.

ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಅಬಕಾರಿ ದಿನ

2010-02-24T09:22:00.001+05:30

ಇಂದು ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಅಬಕಾರಿ ದಿನ..

ನನಗೇನು ಇದರಿಂದ ಲಾಭ ಇಲ್ಲ ಅನ್ನಿ!

ಮತ್ತೆ ಹಾಡಿತು ಕೋಗಿಲೆ

2010-02-23T17:23:00.001+05:30

ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗಷ್ಟೇ ಶಿವರಾತ್ರಿ ಮುಗಿಯಿತು. ಫಾಲ್ಗುಣ ಮಾಸ ಮುಗಿಯಲು ಇನ್ನೂ ಸುಮಾರು ಇಪ್ಪತ್ತು ದಿನಗಳು ಇವೆ.
ಆಗಲೇ ಹೈದರಾಬಾದಿನಲ್ಲಿ ವಸಂತ ಮಾಸದ ಕಳೆ ತುಂಬಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾ ಇದೆ. ಎರಡು ದಿನಗಳಿಂದ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಮಳೆ ಆಗಿದೆ. ಹೋದವಾರ, ಮಧ್ಯಾಹ್ನದ ಹೊತ್ತು ಹೊರಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗೋಕ್ಕೆ ಬೇಜಾರಾಗುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಇವತ್ತು ವಾತಾವರಣ ಆಹ್ಲಾದಕರವಾಗಿದೆ.

ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಯುಗಾದಿ ಹೊತ್ತಿಗೆ ಮಳೆ ಆಗೋದು ವಾಡಿಕೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಕಳೆದ ಒಂದು ವರ್ಷದಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಹಬ್ಬಗಳು ಒಂದೊಂದು ತಿಂಗಳು ಮುಂಚೆನೇ ಬರುತ್ತಾ ಇವೆ. ಚಾಂದ್ರಮಾನ ಪಂಚಾಗದ ಲೆಕ್ಕಾಚಾರಗಳು ಹೀಗೆ ಯಡವಟ್ಟು ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತ ಅನೇಕ ಶತಕಗಳೇ ಉರುಳಿವೆ. ಆದರೂ ಇದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಗಂಭೀರವಾಗಿ ಯಾರೂ ತಲೆಕೆಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿಲ್ಲ. ಹೀಗೆ ಲೆಕ್ಕಾಚಾರ 30 ದಿನ ಆಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಹಾಗೆ, ಒಂದು ಅಧಿಕ ಮಾಸ ತೂರಿಸಿ ಕೈ ತೊಳೆದು ಕೊಂಡುಬಿಡ್ತಾರೆ.

ಬೇಸಿಗೆಗೆ ಬರುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಯುಗಾದಿ ಒಂದು ತಿಂಗಳು ಮುಂಚೆನೇ ಬರುತ್ತಾ ಇದೆ. ಆದರೂ, ಗಿಡ-ಮರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಚಿಗುರು ಕಾಣಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದೆ. ನಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಚಳಿ ಕಡಿಮೆ ಆಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ನಾನು ಬೇಗ ಏಳಲು ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಿಸಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಎದ್ದು "Walk-ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ" ! ಹೊಸ ಯುಗಾದಿ ಬಂದರೂ, ಬೇಂದ್ರೆಯವರ ಹಳೇ ಪದ್ಯದ ಪಾದವೇ ಗತಿ! ಹೋದ ವಾರ, ಯಾಕೋ ವಿಷ್ಣುವರ್ಧನ್ ಹಾಡು ನೆನಪಾಯಿತು.

"ನವ ವಸಂತದ ಗಾಳಿ ಬೀಸಲು, ಮಾವು ಚಿಗುರಿತು ಆಗಲೇ,
ಮೌನ ಮರೆಯುತ, ಮಧುರ ಗೀತೆಯ ಮತ್ತೆ ಹಾಡಿತು ಕೋಗಿಲೆ"

ಮತ್ತೆ ಹಾಡಿತು ಸಿನಿಮಾ ನೋಡಿ ಸುಮಾರು 15 ವರ್ಷಗಳೇ ಕಳೆದಿವೆ. ಈ ಹಾಡಿಗೆ ಅಭಿನಯಿಸಿದ ಬೇಬಿ ಶ್ಯಾಮಿಲಿ ಈಗ ಹೀರೋಯಿನ್ನು. ವಿಷ್ಣುವರ್ಧನ್ ಇಹಲೋಕವನ್ನು ತ್ಯಜಿಸಿಯಾಗಿದೆ.

ಕಾಲಚಕ್ರ ಎಷ್ಟು ಬೇಗ ತಿರುಗುತ್ತಲ್ವಾ ಅಂತ ಅನಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ.

ನಾನಂತೂ ಕೋಗಿಲೆ ಧ್ವನಿ ಕೇಳಲು ಕಾತರಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ

ನಾನೇಕೆ ದಪ್ಪ?

2010-02-15T11:44:00.001+05:30

ನಾನೇಕೆ ದಪ್ಪ ?

ಯಾಕೆಂದರೆ, ನನಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡದ 'ವಾಕ್-ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ' ಇದೆಯೇ ಹೊರತು ಇಂಗ್ಲೀಷಿನ 'Walk-ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ'ವಿಲ್ಲ!

ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಮಹಾಶಿವರಾತ್ರಿ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು

The Karnataka government has transported over 50000 liter of 'Ganga jal' from Hrishikesh to distribute among devout as 'theertha' in select temples across the state.

When the state is getting ready for another summer which will cause scarcity of water, the idiots in Vidhana Soudha are wasting the resources on such gimmicks.

Only Lord Shiva has to rescue us!

In Kshetra's House

2010-01-30T22:02:00.000+05:30

I have visited Kshetraprasad’s house for the first time. It’s nice to see his parents, in-laws and bhava. I finished dinner at his house. The Huli (Sambar) was very nice. Before that we both ate Akki Rotti at his Akka, Meena’s house.

These days I am very frustrated to eat Andhra style food! And I am really happy to taste the real tasty food J

PuPu is now Harshini

2010-01-28T15:13:00.001+05:30

My niece PuPu (Putani Putti) has been named as Harshini in the Namakaranam which was held at Sri Subrahmanya Temple in Tarikere. There were many names in the list like Haritha, Harini, Haripriya etc

Finally Harshini was selected by my Akka and Bhava. It was a nice gathering of all our relatives and friends.

Since I am on strict diet, I missed the Laddus but not the BajjiJ

A saga by name “Chindodi Leela”

2010-01-22T14:12:00.001+05:30

We have lost 4 eminent personalities of Kannada film industry within a month.

The death of Chindodi Leela is the latest one. I still remember the power of her acting, especially in theatres. I saw her for the first time in Davangere in 1998. She has camped for her play "pOleesana magaLu". This play has seen 4500 shows and entered Guinness Book of Record.

I and Anjan were very enthusiastic to watch her acting. One day, after finishing our dinner at our hostel (Brahma Chaitanya), we got the great idea of watching the "Drama" of Chindodi Leela. We did not think for the second time and simply went to the "Camp" at municipality ground opposite to the railway station.

KS Ashwath is no more

2010-01-18T23:39:00.003+05:30

It’s very painful to loose someone to whom we were emotionally attached. Ashwath was on of such rare persons who was respected by all.

It’s also very bad to loose Chamayya Meshtru and Ramachari just within 20 days.

All the best to Shammi

2010-01-18T23:31:00.001+05:30

Shammi is getting ready to take on Albert-Chicago for its suspicious activities in the SEZ of Devasagara. She is the second girl after Kalyani to raise the voice against that company. Nirmala Kondalli may also play an important role in this issue.

All the best to these girls!

Idiots

2010-01-07T14:33:00.001+05:30

APSRTC has raised the bus fares from today.

One surprise is that they have not done this for many years. The biggest surprise is that they have done it now.

City bus transportation in Hyderabad and Chennai is very cheap when compared to that of Bangalore. Though the bus fares are high, Bangalore has more number of city buses when compared to Hyderabad and traveling in the city is not a problem.

Even though Hyderabad has less number of city buses, people can take little breath as they have 7 seats shared autos running in many routes. Since the auto rickshaw drivers in Hyderabad have no 'Meter' culture, it's difficult to commute in Hyderabad for a new comer.

The sudden raise of minimum bus fare from Rs 2 to Rs 5 for (Ordinary buses, equivalent to Black Board in Bangalore) and from Rs 4 to Rs 7 (Metro Express buses, equivalent to Red Board in Bangalore) has received sharp reaction from the public.

Though the bus fares are higher in Bangalore, the Daily Pass is sold at Rs 30. But the same daily pass (Travel as You Like – TAYL Pass) in Hyderabad will now cost Rs 40. And the TAYL passes are not common for at least two to three different types of services. Even the bus pass system in Hyderabad is one of the biggest fun for a Bangalorean.

I do not understand that what the 'EXPERTS' eat? Why they make some such ridiculous changes?

After the RTC, electricity fares will be raised soon.

The only question is that why they kept silent for last many years?

Answer is very simple…. YSR!

Venkatraman Ramakrishnan says "I’m not a prophet, I only know about ribosomes"

2010-01-07T14:32:00.001+05:30

Just remember what Amarthya Sen and Arundhati Roy did soon after winning Noble and Booker prize respectively. Both started to give big lectures. One of the common lectures was on communal harmony.

"What is the relation between GOKULASHTAMI and Imaam Saabi?" is a very well known saying in Kannada which questions the relation between two irrelative things. Most of the people are doing the same thing since many years. The latest one being Amir Khan who started batting for changing the education system after the success of his movie.

People have understood the hypocrisy of all those 'Celebrities' who think that they can talk about anything under the Sun!

Unfortunately, our Father of the Nation, MK Gandhi and Uncle of the Nation (Chacha Nehru) belongs to this category. In our country, any lecture/writing will be incomplete if it does not refer to the above two messiahs. We have Gandhi's and Nehru's opinions on all possible 'TOPICS' and they are the virtual GODS in this country.

I am very happy about Venkatraman. His words make sense.

Though Tarikere is not known to many people, still it attracts hundreds of devotees from many parts of Karnataka.

Jai Telangana

2009-12-10T12:07:00.001+05:30

The Central Government has succumbed again to dirty politics. The creation of Telangana will open the Pandora's Box. Those who were unable to win elections were the front runners for Telangana.

In 1947, India was divided on communal grounds. The emergence of Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1971 has proved that religion alone cannot unite the people. The ethnicity and language was the winner in that case.

Now Telangana is going in a separate way against the linguistic feelings

It is interesting to note that, the creation of Telangana will disprove the great idea of Pandit Nehru to create states on linguistic basis!

This will definitely inspire others to speed up their demand for new states.

Well When will Mahajan Report will be accepted?

End of a Saga

2009-12-10T11:56:00.001+05:30

I grew up humming the tune "buland bhaarat ki buland taqdeer....hamaara Bajaj.... hamaara Bajaj"

Bajaj Auto announced on Wednesday that it is exiting the scooter segment altogether.

Even though the scooter segment is shining (Kudos to advanced scooters like Honda Activa), Bajaj is exiting due to its non-competence.

The production of Chetak was stopped in 2005. (Chetak was once the world's largest selling scooter!). Bajaj will stop production of Kristal series (the 100-cc gearless Kristal DTS-i) by end of the current fiscal.

Bajaj Scooters will soon fade into oblivion…

Today I am very upset.

2009-12-04T12:22:00.001+05:30

Virendra Sehwag has missed the golden chance of creating history. Though I am not interested in watching Cricket, I am very much eager about the records being created.

In the present series, India has made its most run on the first day at Kanpur few days back and they have bettered it yesterday. Murali Vijay's has made good runs. I have to watch this game if it is replayed on TV this weekend.

All the best to Shammi

I like Paddu and Set Dosa in Nalapaka. It is one of the rare hotels in Bangalore which serve Avalakki (Atakulu Upma).

Davanagere butter Dosa is served with coconut chutney and aloo curry.

I went to Nalapaka yesterday with Lachchi. We ate Set Dosa and Butter Dosa.

We went there at 1600 for lunch. But it was closed. Then we went to Kadamba. Kadamba is also a nice place to eat.

Biryani at Brindavana Garders

2009-11-16T10:41:00.001+05:30

Last night I have tasted Veg Biryani at Brindavan Gardens. Do not get confused... Brindavan Gardens is a restaurant near Chikkaballapura.

When I ordered for Biryani, I thought it will be of bad taste(like Hyderabadi Veg Biryani). But it was very tasty...

On Saturday, I thought of going to Bangalore. I started from my house at 1630 and reached Kacheguda station at 1800. Since I had no reservation, I took a general ticket and went to platform no. 3

There are only 4 general compartments out of which 2 is reserved for women. The remaining two were overcrowded. One of them had no lights. I cancelled my tickets and went to MGBS. I get into a bus at 1915 and it reached Bangalore at 0530. In the evening I get into a bus at 2100 and reached MGBS at 0800. I reached office at 0845.

Back to normalcy

2009-11-14T11:11:00.004+05:30

My hair style is now normal.

I was keeping long hairs since one year. Finally I have decided to cut my hair due to the hair loss while combing. I am almost bald from back side. The only consolation is that few hairs are still left in the front side!

Shimoga Friends

Just in four days of my visit to Bangalore on Nov 5th, nearly 12 friends of Shimoga hostel came together by mobile and emails.

Kshetraprasad is back in Bengaluru

I am very happy that Prasadu came back. We both are on a mission.... I will write about that some other time...

Head Ache

2009-11-10T23:58:00.001+05:30

After many years, I got head ache. Hence proved that my head is still working!

It’s very much disturbing to see Shammi crying….

2009-11-10T23:45:00.001+05:30

The only one serial that I like to watch is “Muktha Muktha” on ETV Kannada.
Of course the main attraction is Seetharam’s court proceedings.

But since few months there are no court scenes. I am bored to watch the ‘Over’ emotional scenes in which Shambhavi, Kalyani try to fill buckets with their tears. Added to this, Seetha aththe and Bhargavi ajji also crying for Arundhathi’s death.

I condemn Seetharam for killing Miss India Arundhathi... that too in floods.

Yes, the time has come to cut my hair.

2009-11-10T23:32:00.002+05:30

Long back, I was reading Mahatma Gandhi’s autobiography. He says, it was his cowardliness that he decided to remove his ‘Shikha’ while going to London for higher studies… By the time he realize this, he became bald!

After reading his book, I thought of keeping “Shikha”. For that I have not cut my hairs since 1 year.

Today I have lost lot (rather most) of hairs on my head. Before becoming ‘Bank Janardhan’ so early, I think it’s better to cut my hairs.

I have little satisfaction that I kept ‘Shikha’ for some time.

My dad will be very happy with my old (normal) hair style!

ದಿಲೀಪ ಮತ್ತು ನಾಗೇಂದ್ರ

2009-11-10T21:59:00.003+05:30

ನಾನು ದಿಲೀಪನನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ ತುಂಬಾ ವರ್ಷಗಳೇ ಆಗಿದ್ದವು. ನಾನು, ಜೀಪಿ, ಐಪಿ, ಮಧು, ದಿಲೀಪ ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಲಾಲ್-ಬಾಗ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ್ದೆವು. ಅದಾದ ನಂತರ ದಿಲೀಪನನ್ನು ನಾನು ನೋಡಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಐಪಿ ಮದುವೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಆತನನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದೆ. ಜೊತೆಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಹಳೆಯ ಮಿತ್ರ ನಾಗೇಂದ್ರ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ. ನಾನು ಪ್ರಶಾಂತನ ಮದುವೆಗೆ ಬಂದೇ ಬರುತ್ತೇನೆ ಅಂತ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಅವನು ಬಂದು, ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಮನೆಗೆ ಕರೆದುಕೊಂದು ಹೋದ. ಅವತ್ತು ರಾತ್ರಿ ಅವನ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲೇ ಇದ್ದು, ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ಗುರು ಮನೆಗೆ ಹೋದೆ. ಗುರು ಮಗನನ್ನು ನಾನು ನೋಡಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಅವರ ಮನೆಯವರನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ ಒಂದು ವರ್ಷ ಆಗಿತ್ತು...

Anxiety over my return

2009-10-28T00:44:00.002+05:30

My ticket for Kacheguda Express was not confirmed. I thought of boarding the Sampark Kranthi Express at Yesvantpur on a general ticket. I attended Prasad's reception and rushed to Yesvantpur station. The general compartment was crowded. Then I went to Majestic and luckily got Airavatha at 11 pm. Surprisingly only 15 passengers were in that bus. I slept till 0915 and the driver woke me up.

Eclipse is a natural phenomenon

2009-07-22T21:14:00.001+05:30

1. 2009 Jul 07: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
2. 2009 Jul 22: Total Solar Eclipse
3. 2009 Aug 06: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
3 eclipses within a month!

When all are worried thinking the bad consequences that may follow due to the series of eclipses, I am feeling very happy since one friend returned the moneyJ

Though it was a small amount, I am over whelmed as that was totally unexpected!

Morning I missed the diamond ring, but later in the day; I saw a silver lining!!

Ranjana Lal Mishra Arrested

2009-06-03T20:23:00.001+05:30

Sessions Judge has ordered the arrest of Real Estate King Ranjan Lal Mishra along with Investigating officer Durgogi, Meshtru Venkatachalaiah, Soma alias Bullet Soma and Bhoja in Raju murder Case. In his judgement, he said that it is a lesson for those who play with the honest people for fulfilling their vested interests.

Mr Dadyashankar Patil has argued for the prosecution. Mr. CSP was the defence lawyer for the accused, Mr Deshpande, Shashikanth and Prajna.

The Police has filed the charge sheet against the above three on the murder charges claimimg that they have planned the murder of Raju who was the son-in-law of Deshpande and Prajna's husband.

Whole Karnataka sighed a great relief after hearing the judgment. This case was indeed a special one as it involved the worst nexus of real estate businessmen and the politicians along with the police.
