Tarikere Sri Subrahmanya Swami Rathotsava

Sri Subrahmanya Swami Car Festival was celebrated in Tarikere with religious fervor on Tulu Shashti day i.e., on 22^nd Dec with the divine blessings from Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, the 36^th Pontiff of Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri.

Sri Subrahmanya Swami is a very famous deity in South India. Tarikere is an important Sri Subrahmanya Kshetra along with Kukke Subrahmanya, Ghati Subrahmanya, Tiruttani, Palani, Shabarimalai, Tiruchendur etc

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

Jai Telangana

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

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.

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

Shammi has got an offer in Kamanabillu channel for the current affairs show “Aparadhi Nanalla”. Earlier she was working with a local cable network. This is really a good opportunity to excel her talent.

Winter in Hyderabad

Slowly, Hyderabad is coming in the clutches of cold.

SACHIN is marrying

Sachin is marrying on 17th of Nov at Hubballi.

Katak-Rotti and Shenga Chutney

I have brought Katak-Rotti and Shenga Chutney from Nalapaka.

I like Shenga Chutney  very much since my college days as Mahesh used to bring it from his home.

 

Nalapaka is Awesome as always

 

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

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

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.

Chiru

I saw Chiranjeevi for the first time at 9.30 pm. He was in white dress and looking very nice. His was on a road show in Kukatpalli.

ಮುದ್ದೆ ಮತ್ತು ನಾನು

ಊರಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿದ್ದಾಗ ನಮ್ಮಮ್ಮ ಮುದ್ದೆ ಮಾಡೋದನ್ನ ನೋಡಿದೆ.. ನಾನು ಅದನ್ನು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿ ನೋಡಬೇಕು...

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

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

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

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.

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!

Raghavendra's Birthday on 11th Nov

I am eagerly waiting for his return...

ದಿಲೀಪ ಮತ್ತು ನಾಗೇಂದ್ರ

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...

IP ಮದುವೆ

Prashanth and Vaishnavi

ನಾನು, ನಾಗಶ್ರೀ ಮತ್ತು ಹಾವಿನ ಮಾತ್ರೆ

ನನಗೂ, ನಮ್ಮ ಚಿಕ್ಕಮ್ಮನ ಮಗಳು ನಾಗಶ್ರೀಗೂ ತುಂಬಾ ಇಷ್ಟವಾದ ಪಟಾಕಿ ಅಂದ್ರೆ ಹಾವಿನ ಮಾತ್ರೆ. ನಾನು ಮತ್ತು ಅವಳು ಸುಮಾರು ಒಂದು ನೂರು ಹಾವಿನ ಮಾತ್ರೆ ಪಟಾಕಿ ಹಚ್ಚಿ ಮನೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಗಬ್ಬು ವಾಸನೆ ಹರಡಿಸಿದೆವು.

GP at Yesvantpur

Anxiety over my return

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.

Kacheguda Railway Station

In Mysore, all buildings looks like a palace while in Hyderabad, they are like a mosque.

Eclipse is a natural phenomenon

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!!

No "SHAMMI" from today

The only Kannada channel E-tv Kannada was stopped by our cable network today.

The only serial that I watch is Mukta-Mukta at 9.30 pm. And now I have to see for other option.

Ranjana Lal Mishra Arrested

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.

Don’t confuse with the face of Bhojaraj. This is not the ‘Bhoja’ who is very popular in Karnataka through Mukta-Mukta.

KLK high school field in Birur

I have played football during 8th to 10th standard. I was the captain of my team for 3 consecutive years.

Our class has been divided on 4 teams.
My team included Venkatesh, Naveen, Pramod, Sachin, Mohamed Rafi, TG Mohan, Arokya Blomin Raj and Others.
My rival team was headed by Tarakesh. The team members were Girish BR, Suresh TV, Mazmul, Tazamul, Manjunath and others.

In 3 years, my team has lost only once to Tarakesh team.

Rajiv Gandhi

Today is the death anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi. Whatever may be the critics say on Rajiv Gandhi, he was a mass leader in late 80s. He was assassinated on 21st May 1991 just a week before my cousin sister Indira got married. I was in Chikkamagaluru on that day. On 22nd early morning, I read the news of Rajiv’s death in a news paper. It was a shock for me!

After 18 years, the main accused in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination, Velupillai Prabhakaran was killed along with his full pledged army by the Srilankan security forces. But still the Indian government had no courage to implement a death sentence given by the Supreme Court to those who were involved in the assassination plot. When very small and voiceless countries can rise above their capability to protect their sovereignty, The Indian government has always coaxed with the destabilizing elements.

Long back, when Indira Gandhi was killed I was kid of just 4 years. I did not know who that lady was. I was in Ajjampura in 1984. I still remember a huge gathering in a house which had a TV.


Since the Congress government will be in power for one more term, all the new projects will be named Rajiv, Nehru or Indira Gandhi.

By 2014, there would be no place or no project in India to be named after any other person!

Manjula…Where are you?

Few years back, an astrologer has told my mother that I will marry a girl named Manjula. Surprisingly, from that day I have not met even a single lady by that name!

I have crossed the same road today successfully.

Last week I had a cramp in my left ankle while crossing the road near Nagarjuna Circle, Panjagutta.

To celebrate that, I went to Shanbhag and ate delicious Masala Dose.

My blog is filled with Marriage Posts.

Better I should change this site to a matrimonial album J

I still have to update many marriage photos.

I fear that you dudes may loose interest in my blog!

Manohar is marrying

My school mate Manohar is marrying on 22nd May at Chitradurga.

I met Bhaskar last night at KPHB.

I started from my office at 1900. Heavy downpour started and we are about to cancel our meeting. But the raining was only in the city; not in the KPHB area. I reached KPHB by 2000. We had dinner at Ramayya Mess near Kalamandir. We roamed for some time and sat in some cool places and chatted till 2200. I reached home and watched Mukta-Mukta and IPL. Finally, a good new came from Bangalore Royal challengers who are now have better chance of making into the Semi final.

Coming Soon…

My adorable friend Prashanth will update his experience all the way from South Korea.
Watch the amazing Korea in my blog by next week.

Yes. It is on 10th June!

Tayi is looking more confident than ever before after he got his bride. His engagement was held at Chikkamagaluru recently which was witnessed by the legendary Sastry.

I feel very happy to post his marriage invitation card in my blog as he is “Chikkamagaluru Aliya”

His marriage is on June 10th. Interestingly, his birthday is in the same month; that is on June 29th.

Udupi- Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha Constituency

Earlier Udupi Lok Sabha constituency comprised Byndooru, Kundapura, Brahmavara, Udupi, Kapu (in Udupi district), Bantwala, Suratkal and Mulky-Moodabidri (in Dakshina Kannada district) assembly segments and Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha constituency comprised Sringeri, Moodigere, Kaduru, Chikkamagaluru, Biruru and Tarikere(in Chikkamagaluru district) and Belthangadi (in Dakshina Kannada district) and Karkala(in Udupi district) assembly segments.

After delimitation, Legislative assembly constituency of Birur has been merged with Tarikere and Kaduru segments and Kaduru assembly segment has now been included in Haasana Lok Sabha constituency.
The Legislative assembly constituency of Brahmavara has been merged with Kundapura, Udupi and Kapu constituencies, while Byndooru assembly segment of Udupi constituency has now been included in Shivamogga Lok Sabha constituency.
After re-organization, Udupi- Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha Constituency was formed with Kapu, Udupi, Karkala and Kundapura assembly constituencies from Udupi district and Sringeri, Moodigere, Chikkamagaluru and Tarikere assembly constituencies from Chikkamagaluru district.

We have done it!!!

Finally we got a house in Pragathinagar, 5 km from JNTU. Deepak will be shifting soon to that house. I made Aloo bonda, Shyavige payasa last night. I was thinking to prepare a “habbada oota” but lack of time forced me to do only these two items. The help of VVs and Subbaraju will always be remembered.

Sastry fell down…

I fell down just below the fly over near Hyderabad Central in Panjagutta which fell down last year when it was under construction. The road edge was not leveled and I placed my left foot on the edge; unable to balance myself and fell down. The cramp in my left ankle is simply making me thwarted.

Tayi has got engaged at Chikkamagaluru!

Smarty, I mean Tayi Raghavendra has got engaged with Navya Sri at an eye catching function at Chikkamagaluru on 27th April 2009. This event coincides with Akshaya Tritiya, an auspicious festival.
Appearing in a cream coloured Kurtha, Tayi was smiling till the end of the function. Now, we guys have to be very careful while giving “Build-up” to ourselves as Navya Sri is also an EEE. We can’t simply bluff as she is a lecturer handling “Electrical Machines” at an engineering college in Mysore.

ಅಡುಗೆ ಅಡಿಗಡಿಗೆ... Cookery at every step

bisibELe baat in 15 minutes (For two):

Put 1 cup of toor dal, chopped beans (10-12), Carrot (2-3), Potatoes (2-3) and Tomatoes (2-3) and ½ cup of rice into the cooker. Add a little tamarind, 2 spoon of MTR Bisibelebath powder and 1 spoon of salt. Add 7-8 cups of water and cook for 6-7 whistles.

Heat a little quantity of oil in a pan in low flame. When it heats, add small quantity of mustard seeds (Sasive/ sarso / Kodagu / aavalu), cumin seeds (Jeerige/Jeera/ Seerakam /jeelakarra), asafetida (ingu/hing/ perungaayam /inguva) and Curry Leaves (Karibevu/ Kari patta/ Karuveppilai/ kariveypaku).

Mix it with the cooked rice and Bisibelebath is ready!

Serve the Bisibelebath when it is not so hot! Because when the Bisibelebath is hot, one can’t make out the real taste!

As all you know, Reddy’s favorite brand is Arrow.

The authorized supplier for Arrow is Arvind Mills, Bangalore.
I really wonder why this guy preferred Hyderabad for shopping.

I feel that Hyderabad is not promising than Bangalore for shopping branded clothes.
