The Next one is about Rainy Days of Karnataka & Bangalore.........

Drench in rain is a special effect in everybody's lifetime. Here are discrete incidences of my firsthand experience in Monsoon days of Karnataka. Let me put it across to your gadgets straightaway....

Teenage Biking on a Rainy Day @ Bangalore 

Teenage is meant for Bike-Rides to outskirts of cities or countryside. I was part of a team that used to celebrate Birthdays in Bengaluru outskirt 'DHABBAS'. 20 odd members after having a birthday bash of a pal were about to get back to home. Myself being a proud-owner of SUZUKI-SAMURAI- 'The No problem Bike' of those days! was having two pillion riders and rain-god started showering blessings to all of us! Myself in no mood to stop the ride and being also a 'Short-sighted EYES Owner', continued the ride and literally had to collide to footpath @ Junction separating Road leading to Rajajinagar  and one more leading to Yeshwantpur near Yeshwantpur Railway stations Bangalore. Luckily The Eye-sight wasn't that bad without spectacles I could somehow manage to escape the mishap!

Rainy Day in Bangalore

Coastal Rain Lash in Udupi, Karnataka

I had not witnessed Coastal Indian Rain first hand   as  resident until I started working  at Manipal, Udupi. I had given my four-wheeler for service and a colleague of mine had taken me on his two-wheeler to the Service-Station for delivery of my vehicle..... On the way we were caught in such a heavy rains I cannot forget even today. In between I have witnessed such rains at Kapu Beach in Udupi District Karnataka and Surtakal Beach Mangaluru, Karnataka. Even in rains I used to go for jogging to End-Point of Manipal, a Scenic beauty which was my sole companion in my bad days.

End Point Manipal

The most remarkable rains I got drenched was when I had to take up an Interview at Manipal Institute of Technology for a faculty position which anyway became a mirage for me!  Finally I learnt why Rain-sheets and umbrella are best companions for Coastal people of Karnataka, when I had to do two months up and down from Udupi to Mangaluru!

Rainy Drive from Madhugiri Monolithic Hills, Tumkuru

It was heavy rain lashing day I was in Madhugiri-Tumkur state highway, The rain god showered to such an extent that my vehicle battery went for a toss! I had to park my vehicle which abruptly stopped without responding to it's ignition key stroke and came to 'HALT' on the road. The heavy rains made me to spend entire night within the cab on roadside until dawn of next day. Rains make Duet-Scenes in Bollywood and sandal wood movies, but for a common man struck outside their own territory, Rain teaches various lessons apart from Romantic-Mood, Hope you all agree with me....

Experience @ Rehabilitation Center of Bangalore: kannada Write-up

ಯಾರಿಗೂ ಬೇಡವಾದವರು, ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಕಾದವರು

Rehabilitation-centre ಅಂದ್ರೆ ಷಾರ್ಟ್-form nalli ‘REHAB’ ಅಂತ, ಕನ್ನಡ ದಲ್ಲಿ ಪುನರ್ವಸತಿ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಅಂತಾ, ಇಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಬರುವ ನಾನಾ ರೀತಿ ಹೃದಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, DRUG-ADDICTION ಮತ್ತು ANGER-MANAGEMENT ನಲ್ಲಿ ಬುಕ್ ಆದ ಮಂದಿ maximum ಯುವಕರು, ಎಳೆ ಹುಡಗರು ಮತ್ತು ಹುಡಿಗಿರು. ಇನ್ನೂ 40 ರ  ಆಸುಪಾಸಿನ ಹೃದಯಗಳು ಹೊರಗಡೆ ಇದ್ದ್ರೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ತಲೆ-ನೋವು ಒಳಗೆ (REHAB) ಇದ್ದ್ರೆ ಕಮ್ಮಿ ನಷ್ಟ to ಮನ್ಯೆವರಿಗೆ ಅನ್ನೋ SINGLE-POINT AGENDA ದಾಗೆ ಒಳಗೆ ಬಂದವರು. ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ವರ್ಗ ಅವರು 18-80 ವಯ್ಸಿನ್ನ ಮಂದಿ ‘MENTALLY-UNSTABLE’ ಅನ್ನೋ ಕಾರಣಕ್ಕೆ ಮನೆ ಮಂದಿ ಅವರನ್ನು ನಿಭಾಯ್ಸೀಲು ಆಗದೆ ಅಥವಾ ನಿಭಾಯ್ಸಿಯಲು ಮನಸ್ಸು ಇಲ್ಲದೆ ‘REHAB’ ಎಂಬ  sophisticated-ಸೆರೆಮನೆ (without big punishment of ಪರಪ್ಪನ ಅಗ್ರಹಾರ) ಗೆ  ಸೇರಿಸಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ.    ನಾವು ಪ್ರತಿ ಒಂದು ವರ್ಗದಿಂದ character ತಗೊಂಡ್ಡೂ, ಈ ಲೇಖನದ ಪಯಣ ಬೆಳಿಸೋಣ, ಬಾಯ್ಸ್ –ಗಾಲ್ಸ್. Hope you are with me:

SCENE-1

ನಿನ್ನ ತಂದೆ-ತಾಯಿ ಜೊತೆ ಮಾತು ಆಡೋಕೆ PHONE ಇಲ್ಲ, T.V REMOTE ಕೈನಲ್ಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಅಡಿಕ್ಟ್ ಆಗಿರುವ GRASS ಅತ್ಲಾಗೆ ಹೋಗ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು CIGARETTE ಸಹ ಇಲ್ಲಾ, ಪ್ರೀತಿಸಿದ ಹುಡ್ಗಿ ಸಹ MOBILE ನಲ್ಲಿ-ಇಲ್ಲಾ, ಇದರ ಪರಿಣಾಮ ಅನ್ನೋ REPERCUSSION ಏನಿರಬಹುದು? ಅಂತೀರಾ!

ಆ ಹುಡುಗ ಕಣ್ಣೀರು ಹಾಕಿ ಸುಮ್ನೆ ಕೂರಲ್ಲ, ತನ್ನ ಕೈ ಅನ್ನು BLADE ಇಲ್ಲ್ಡಿದ್ರೆ WHAT-APP? TOOTH-PASTE backside folding ಯೂಸ್ ಮಾಡಿ ಕೈ-ಕುಯ್ದು ಕೊಂಡು ATTENTION-GRAB ಮಾಡ್ತಾನೆ, THIS IS COMMON-STYLE of BLACK-MAIL among YOUTH who are ADDICTED. ಈ ಹುಡುಗರ ಮೊಣಕೈ ಭಾಗ (FOREHAND) ಒಮ್ಮೆ ನೋಡಿದ್ರೆ ಇವರೇನೂ ಹೊಸ ತರಹ ROWDISIM ನಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದವರಾ?! ಅನ್ನೋ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಮೂಡೋದು ಸಹಜ. ALL THESE KIDS PROUDLY TELL— ‘WE ARE HERE FOR ANGER-MANAGEMENT.’ ತಾವು ಆಕಶ್ದಾಗಿನ SUN-MOON-STAR ಯಾವುದನ್ನು ಸಹ BLADE-EDGE ನಲ್ಲಿ ತರ್ಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳೋ ಬಲ್ಲ ಶಕ್ತಿ-ಶಾಲಿ ಅನ್ನೋ ಧೈರ್ಯ ಇವತ್ತಿನ ‘EK-LOTA PUTUR-PUTRI’ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂಡುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿರುವುದು PARENTS ಅಲ್ಲದೇ ಬೇರೆ ಯಾರು ಅಲ್ಲಾ ಅನ್ನೋದು ಸ್ಪಟಿಕ-ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟ. ಅವರು, ಮಕ್ಕಳು ತಮ್ಮ OFFICE & LIFESTYLE ಮಧ್ಯೆ KABAB-Main-ADDI ಆಗ್ಲಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂದ್ರೆ ಸಾಕು ಅಂತಾ ಕೇಳಿ-ಕೇಳಿದಾ GADGETS, TOYS ಕೊಡಿಸ್ಸಿ ಈ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ ತಾವೇ ಮೈ ಮೇಲೆ ಎಳದುಕೊಂಡಿರುವುದು CRYSTAL-CLEAR.              

SCENE-2

ಇದು ಸಹ ಯುವತಿ ಒಬ್ಬರ ಸ್ಟೋರಿ. ಈಕೆ ADOPTED daughter for her PARENTS. All of a sudden incidence has brought her to REHABILITATION centre. ತಮ್ಮ ADOPTED-ಮಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ RELATIVES  ಮದುವೆಗೆ ಬರೋದು ಬೇಡ ಅನ್ನೋ ಕಾರಣದಿಂದ CENTRE ಸೇರಿ ಅದ್ದನ್ನೇ ಮನೇ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡಿರುವ ಹುಡಿಗಿ. ಈಕೆ ಸಹ ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ಸಲ FOREHAND-SLIT attempts for suicide ಮಾಡಿರುವ ಜೀವವೇ. ಆದರೂ ಇದ್ದಲ್ಲೆ ನಗು ಹರಡುವ ಈ ಹುಡಿಗಿ ಇಂಟರೆಸ್ಟಿಂಗ್ character. ಪುಟ್ಟ ಹುಡುಗ್ರ ಜೊತೆ ಟಪ್ಪನ್-ಗುಚ್ಚಿ ಡಾನ್ಸ್ ಆಡುತ್ತಾ ಖುಷಿ ಪಡುವ ಈ ಹುಡುಗಿ ರೀತಿ ಇನ್ನೂ ಎಷ್ಟೂ ಹೃದಯ್ಗಳು ಇದ್ದಲ್ಲೆ SWITZERLAND ಸೃಷ್ಟಿ ಮಾಡಿವಿಯೋ ನಾ ಕಾಣೇ. ಅದೇ ರೀತಿ ನನ್ನ ಜೊತೆ ದಿನ ನಿತ್ಯ LIBRARYಲೀ NEWS-PAPER ಓದಲು ಹಾಜರ್ ಆಗುತಿದ್ದ ಒಬ್ಬಾಕೆ caricature ಆರ್ಟಿಸ್ಟ್ ಸಹ ಆಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

     

SCENE-3

SENSE OF HUMOR ಅಂದ್ರೆ ಈ ಎರಡು characters ನನಗೆ ಸದಾ ನೆನಪಿಗೆ ಬರುತ್ತಾರೆ. 40 ಪ್ಲಸ್ ನಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಇಬ್ಬರಲ್ಲಿ, ಒಬ್ಬರು, IPL ನಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆಟ್ಟಿಂಗ್ಸ್ ಮಾಡೋ crazy-character ಆದರೆ ಅವರ ಮನ್ಯೆಯವರು open-field ನಲ್ಲಿ ಐ.ಪಿ.ಎಲ್ ಬೆಟ್ಟಿಂಗ್ಸ್ ಮಾಡಿ, ದುಂದು-ವೆಚ್ಚ ಮಾಡುವ ಮಗ, ಗಂಡ, ಅಪ್ಪ ಮೊಬೈಲ್-PHONE not-ACCESIBLE region ಆದ—‘REHABILITATION-HOUSE’ ನಲ್ಲಿ PRISONER ಅಗಿದ್ರೆ ಒಳ್ಳೇದು ಅನ್ನೋ SINGLE-POINT-AGENDA ದಲ್ಲಿ TADA ಖೈದಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಇಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ up to MAY-24^th FINALE. ರಿಯಲ್ಲೀ ಹ್ಯಾಟ್ಸ್-ಆಫ್ to REHAB-CENTRES for ಗಿವಿಂಗ್ solutions to ಡಿಫರೆಂಟ್ types of characters.

‘ಒಳ್ಳೇ-ಕಾಯಕ, ಕೆಟ್ಟು-ಕಾಯಕ, ಯಾವುದಾದರೂ ಸರಿ; ಒಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಯಕ ಮಾಡು ಆದರೆ ಎರಡರ ಕಾರಣವೂ ನೀನೆ ಭಗವಂತ ಅನ್ನುವುದ ಕಲಿತಿಕೊ’ ಅನ್ನೋ PHILOSOPHY ಹೇಳಿದ KISNA ಮತ್ತೊಬ್ಬರು, ಇವರ ಮಾತಲ್ಲೆ ಹೇಳುವುದಾದರೆ, HITLER, GODSE Vs ಗಾಂಧಿ, ಮಂಡೇಲ— ALL FOUR CHARACTERS ARE INSCRIBED in HISTORY for ಕುಖ್ಯಾತಿ ಅಂಡ್ ಖ್ಯಾತಿ. So, keep doing ಕಾಯಕ without IDENTITFING with it for good deeds and detaching from it for bad deeds.  ಇವರು ಅಂದರ್ ಅಗಿರೋದು ಅವರ BILLIONAIRE-PITHASHRI ಕೃಪೆ ಇಂದ. ಇವರಿಗೇ INDEPENDENT-BUSINESSMAN ಆಗುವ ಖಯಾಲಿ, PITASHRI ಗೆ ಅದು ಬೇಡವಾದ ವಿಚಾರ.

          

SCENE-4

Next characters hilarious ಆದುವೆ, ಒಬ್ಬರು ಮಧುಗಿರಿ-ಪುಡಾರಿ ಮತ್ತೊಬ್ಬರು ದೊಮ್ಮಲೂರು-Realty king, ಮಧುಗಿರಿ ನಾಯಕರಿಗೆ ಮಂಡಲ್-ಪಂಚಾಯ್ತಿ ELECTIONS ಚಿಂತೆ, ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಜೆ.ಡಿ.ಎಸ್ ಅನ್ನು ಗೆಲ್ಲಿಸುವ ಹುಮ್ಮಸು; ಅದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಲಕ್ಷ, ಲಕ್ಷ ಮಂದಿ ಇವರನ್ನು ‘ಬಂಧ-ಮುಕ್ತ’ ಮಾಡಲು ತಯಾರು, ಆದರೆ ಇವರ ಶ್ರೀಮತಿ ಯವರದೇ ತಕರಾರು. So he is CAPTIVE.

ದೊಮ್ಮಲೂರು ಹುಡುಗ NIGHT-DRIVING ಖಯಾಲಿ ಮತ್ತು FLOATING-RESTAURANT ಮಾಡುವ ಹುಮ್ಮಸ್ಸು on some LAKE. ನಾನು ಮಧುಗಿರಿ-lakes try ಮಾಡಿ with ಜೆ.ಡಿ.ಎಸ್ ನಾಯಕರು ಅಂತ ಅಟಾಚ್ ಮಾಡಿದೆ. ಸೀನ್-3 & ಸೀನ್-4 ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ತುಂಬಿದವರ problems, ಅವರಿಗೂ REHAB ನಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಳವಿದೆ.  NEXT is really needy people ಪ್ರಾಬ್ಲಂ.

SCENE-5

ನಿಮಗೆ ಆಗಿದ್ದ್ರೆ REHABILITATION CENTREನಲ್ಲಿ ‘ಇಲ್ಲದ’ ಪ್ರಾಬ್ಲಂ ಮೈಮೇಲೆ ಹಾಕಿಕೊಂಡವ್ರೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಅಂಕ್ಕೋ ಬೇಡಿ.  ‘MENTALLY-DISTURBED’ ಹೃದಯಗಳು ಇಲ್ಲೇ, ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಕಾಲದಿಂದ ಇದ್ದಾರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕೆಲವರು ಸುಧಾರಿಸಿ ಕೊಂಡು VOLUNTEERS ಸಹ ಆಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ನಾನು ಕಂಡ ಓರ್ವ FLUENTLY-ENGLISH ಮಾತನಾಡುವ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ, QUEUE-JUMP ಮಾಡಿ ಸೂಪರ್ವೈಸರ್ ಕೈನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಡೆತ ತಿಂದ ಘಟನೆ; ಅವರನ್ನು ಬಂಧುಗಳು ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇಟ್ಟಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದ್ರೇ ಯಾವ ‘ಗಂಟು’ ಹೋಗುತಿತ್ತೋ?! ಅಂತ ನನಗೆ ಅನಿಸಿದ್ದು ನಿಜ. ಅಂತಹ ಅನೇಕ ಮಂದಿ ಮನೆಯವ್ರಿಗೆ ಭಾರ ಆಗಿದ್ದು ಸಹ ಇಂತಹ REHAB ನಲ್ಲಿ ಜೀವನ (ತಕ್ಕ ಮಟ್ಟಿಗಾದ್ರೂ ) ಕಂಡಿ ಕೊಂಡಿರುವುದು ‘REHABILTATION CENTRES’ ಈ ಸಮಾಜಕ್ಕೆ ಅನಿವಾರ್ಯ ಅನ್ನೋ ಸತ್ಯ ನನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂಡಿಸಿದ್ದಂತು ನಿಜ.  

Bangalore Diary: Ugadhi Festival Recall from Memory

UGADHI FESTIVAL WITH EK-DIN KA SULTAN SODARA MAVA
aka
Maternal uncle
 

FROM CHILDHOOD MEMOIRS

Friends, amongst so many SPRING-CELEBRATION aka VASANTHA in AJJI-HOUSE, One UGADHI is deeply embedded in my memory chip.  My cousins might not remember it as special one because they might have had ‘N’- number of such UGADHI with their dad. But the UGADHI I am speaking about is most probably in year 1985-86. My Politician maternal uncle had suddenly BUMPER-LOTTERY-BONANZA-KAMAI in this year and he took me, kavi and giri for shopping and all three had brand NEW-RAYMONDS clothes stitched from a familiar tailor for him. Unlike today, in those days’ politics was not at all regular kamai ki job. I have also witnessed my Aunty (Dodda-Atte) going to her Mother-Home (TAVARU MANE) whenever her Hubby aka my uncle (EK DO DIN KA SULTAN) becomes empty handed for that month! It was my other uncle who was a SALARIED factory employee, used to regularly look after not only my needs but also of Kavitha and Giri in many occasions. This used to be applicable to DEEPAVALI-FESTIVAL-CRACKERS too!

Those days’ politics wasn’t meant to be Bread-winner and ironically for many it is HIGHEST-KAMAI profession in present situations. According to me Globalization and Privatization gave avenues for politicians to explore and make quick-bucks by deals from BOFORS, HUDCO, COAL-GATE and 2G Spectrum. Now SAMAJA-SEVE has become fashion statement rather than PASSION statement. In spite of such EK-DIN-KA-KING situations; today I feel proud about my politician uncle as the SUBRAMANYNAGAR corporation ward which he represented is not listed in LAKE-ENCROACHMENT scam for creating REALTY-SITES and the locality has LUNG-SPACE in form of MILK-COLONY Stadium and Sangolli Rayanna-BRIGADE Park in Subramanynagar for kids and elders instead of high-rise apartments in Govt. lands.          

 

DEBIT-CARD WAS MIRACLE ENTITY THEN

FROM ADULTHOOD MEMOIRS

I was newly married but my Income was just 7000 INR. I didn’t have a DEBIT CARD in my pocket; I didn’t know what a PAN CARD is? As, I was adult without exposure to corporate world married to well-verse corporate girl who was MBA by qualification and corporate employee. The incidence I am narrating next is embarrassing one for me throughout my life; but after reading HULI-MAVINA-MARA like autobiography, I have gained courage to speak-out my heart without hesitation. My outing with wife in those days ki prestigious M.G Road and me having just 50 INR in pocket as I had no idea that we were going out for shopping; put me into such an embarrassing situation as I had no money to pay for her shopping and finally she used her BRAND-NEW-DEBIT-CARD to settle the bill is by any means unforgettable incidence for me. When this MBA girl queried me whether I have permanent account number (PAN) I sheepishly replied— “Ya, I have Savings Account in S.B.I bank where my Salary gets credited” is funny one, I relish it even today with mixed feeling of KULKUVIKE aka embarrassment as Tejaswi Sir tells—“BUS JOURNEY in AGUMBE-THIRTHALLI GHATS leads to KULKUVUIKE of Food and thoughts.”  But after a decade and half; DEBIT-CARD is well known entity for vegetable-vendors to house-wife leave aside an entry level Lecturer in a college isn’t it? Learning happens through exposure to new situations and scenarios isn’t it pals?     

Bangalore Diary:Engineering Brain-Wired Friends

Dignity of Labor aptly applies to one of my school days friend, who was not a techie by educational qualification but by his act, read his achievements and of other friends engineering bent of mind despite they had no Engineering graduation.......

‘News paper boy, Welder, Refrigerator mechanic, Auto driver, type writer mechanic, Tape recorder Mechanic and Computer Hardware Engineer this versatile thundu, also disliked only one Job of the lot he did – i.e. of Sales Boy in a Saree centre’ --All these jobs were accomplished by my Pal B.K Muni Raju

‘Make in India’ is fashion statement for us for a quite a while from now. The statistics revealed in this newspaper report puts your brain into a BLINKING state of operation. Why is it so? Answer is other than Software Exports India has nothing in its womb to flaunt as ‘BHARATBORN BABY’.

In Nutshell the following table puts it across for you:

Software/Electronics Exports	Other Engineering Exports	Agriculture and Animal husbandry Exports	Natural Resources Exports (petroleum, mining, precious stones)	Handicrafts & others
61.29%	6.19%	3.3%	20.51%	0.39%
According to State of Karnataka, which is 4th largest Exporter in Nation, the graph should be in similar lines  for all states

Friends, Where is ‘70% Bharath Lives in Villages!? ’Statement —reflected in the above statistics!? Only 3.3% Exports is from agricultural, fishery and animal husbandry, a shameless number isn’t it?

Friends this is an effort to take you into an exciting journey of such inspiring Engineers by practice and not by mere degree acquisition in our mother-land.

B  K Muniraja, a Friend who brought out my cricketing skills to its best possible levels, is a true case-study for such Engineers we come across in our day to day activities. Second is my Uncle Venkatesh, A Retired Employee of Kirloskar Electric, Ltd. (Now ORIAN MALL) is one more improvising engineering bent of brain I have come across, Harisha, dropped out from graduation is excellent Electrical engineering brain and I had a pal in middle school called Arun, who at age of 10-12 was excellent mechanic of automobiles like scooters and TVS, LUNA mopeds. My cousin, Sapthagiri, who had no interest in rote Learning was a whiz-kid, with main motto of buying new Toys just to disassemble and re-assemble it.

Definitely if I do brainstorming many names get loaded  into main memory, but most hilarious one is of Amarnath P R, a Destructive brain, that had dismantled a Flute and his dad had preserved it to handover it as a ‘precious gift’ to his better-half on wedding day! A truly destructive-Engineering brain it was. The irony is, Muniraja, Sapthagiri, Arun and Amar did not acquire Engineering degree of STUDY-WRITE-SCORE cycle, But I acquired it despite none of these curiosity about machines having imbibed in me.

B. K Raja is a case-study that should speak to almost all TRUE-Engineers by practice, who never visits INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERS with Identification card or membership card rather practice it in workshops, mechanic shops, puncture shops, electrical live-wires on streets so on.  Pal, let us quickly dive into this safari:

Raja’s first job was of a Sales-Boy in Alankar Plaza, Kempe Gowda road (as a drop out from SSLC for getting detained in ENGLISH). Within a day’s experience he quit the job, true to his mindset of being a problem-solver not TRADER, like CAR-TRADERS, CAR-WALE, 99ACRES.com, Flipkart.com etc. Which is the only business or entrepreneurship in INDIA that has thrived for centuries (i.e. BUY à SELL model of business).

He quit, and very next day he opted to be in Welding-shop floors of Shanthinagar, Double road, (Kengal hanumanthaih Road) Bengaluru. He used to share about excitement and challenges in preparing shop-shutters and collapsible gates. I still remember his daily wages was 35 rupees (approximately in year 1985-1988). The ease with which he took into the job made him darling of his boss and was given on-site roles in different parts of karunadu. That used to get him extra bucks, which will be the money he used to spend for me, Amar and Harisha for evening snacks. The experience with WELDING took him to FRIDGE-mechanic in general and as KELVINATOR brand specialist, here also he excelled and again proved to be a key resource for his employer. All these days his morning routine used to be of NEWS-PAPER boy with Harish and Kondada Rama.  Who for being learnt Dignity of labor and self-respect can sometimes become ‘Laughing Stock’ for people called Editors who doesn’t know the galli and beedhis of Bengaluru except Vidhana Soudha, Mahatma Gandhi or Ambedakar Veedhi and doesn’t know how morning strays attack these boys and give 108 GYAAN on street dogs in their write-ups sitting next to ‘attached everything’ cabins.

TYPEWRITER-KI-DUNIYA:
Same K.H Road gave Raja an opportunity to learn servicing and assembling Typewriters (Mechanical ones) later he learnt handling electrical & electronics type writers too. Believe me dismantling a mechanical typewriter for general overhauling and assembling is quite a complex process like handling human-nervous system (no exaggeration!) But, that too finding and fixing errors is not Dr.FIX-IT jaise Kool job. It requires lot of analysis.Later He started his own Typewriter servicing centre called Rama Enterprises which progressed to become Personal Computer Assembling Unit as Raja even acquired skills to assemble Computers. This the journey of B.K Raja from Newspaper Boy to Computer Hardware Engineer.

INNOVATION IN NEWSPAPER DISTRUBUTION: ‘HARISHA's -cigarette RING’ concept

Though Vakra-Pissing people call Newspaper distributors with ugly-names. Here is Engineering Brain of Harish that helped many of his colleagues to effectively send Missiles of Newspapers to all apartments of three-five floors, by a simple technique of using Rings made of Cigarette paper   acting as RUBBER-BAND to maintain the paper intact until it reaches the fifth floor. Is Harish not an innovative Engineer?  This idea of using Cigarette pack rings became common phenomenon in those days across all newspaper distribution agencies. The Used-Cigarette packs were abundant in our stock as our daily popular game in summer used to be ‘Cigarette Pack and Baccha’ not CHESS or FOOTBALL in PC next to ‘attached everything’ cabins.   

Today all these are just memories of my school and college days in city of Bangalore with such innovative brains which never acquired an Engineering Degree by School Education but by Practice. 

Bangalore Summer & Its Festivity Memories

Summer is a season not relished by many. Hot weather with thirsty days and sweating body is not liked by many. But Students & Kids like Summer very much, as it brings in VACATION from school & studies. Lots of ice creams, soft drinks fresh fruit juice all make summer memorable.

For Bangloreans summer brings in lot of events in form of City Festival 'Karaga', Lord Rama's Birthday -'Ramanavami' and 'Ugadi'- Kannadigas' New year day.

Bangalore once upon a time known as garden city and air conditioned city is no more clinging on to these titles. This year SUMMER of 'Namma Bengaluru' has overtaken Chennai & Mangalore cities  with soaring mercury levels. We can attribute this to chopping of trees and digging of bore wells and exponential growth in vehicular traffic leading to pollution of all sorts. Leave aside summer, this year WINTER of Bengaluru was not chilly!

RAMANAVAMI- Real Treat for Hot Summer

The mercury levels of summer has been associated with two Festivals Bangalore Celebrates with utmost enthusiasm. Ramanavami & Karaga. As mentioned earlier Ramanavami Birth anniversary of Lord Rama is celebrated with Fruit juice prepared from MUSK-MELON & Jaggery combo- PANAKA, Butter milk and a salad called Kosambari. All three food are best suited for SUMMER appetite. Ramanavami also brings in festivity in form of cultural programmes organized across the city of Bengaluru for weeks together. When Bangalore was not GLOBALIZED with Malls and Multiplex, Summer evenings at Parks of Bangalore with music played by renowned musicians was treat to eyes and ears. Even Today Ramanavami is a Festival apt for SUMMER season, with temples, schools, colleges and shop vendors distributing NEERU-MAJJIGE (butter milk) and KOSAMBARI- Salad.

KARAGA- The Festival of Bangalore City

KARAGA is celebrated in the name of lord Dhramaraya swamy for entire night during summer and the route through which the procession goes will be celebrating it with PANAKA & KOSAMBARI salad! Food that is yummy for summer season. Though Bangalore KARAGA of dharmaraya swamy is the official one of the city, many God and Goddess also have their own customized KARAGA. The person who carries the 'FLOWER TOWER' on his head is surrounded by veerakumaras dancing with swords. The act of balancing Flower-Tower isn't an easy task and needs expertise to carry it throughout the processions.

KARAGA procession takes place in Old Bangalore Localities for entire night, with people thronging in from various districts to watch this unique procession of GOD.

Though current generation is losing its attachment with such festivities, these festivals along with Kadle Kayee Parshe, Avare kayee Parshe still reminds of unique culture Bangalore had and is having.

Personally as a school kid I used to enjoy ramanavami by taking lot of PANAKA & Majjige staying away from home and patrolling city temples and streets serving Rama's favorite food to public!

One more interesting fact about the day of KARAGA is it rains and today it is raining in Bangalore giving break to long and  hottest SUMMER witnessed for the past two and half months.

 Happy Karaga...................

Bangalore City has eateries of all size and shape. Today road side eat-outs have become more and  more popular in Bangalore. Let us look into the history of evolution of eateries of various size and shapes across the city. Eatouts of Road side, read on

The Restaurants serving food in a relaxed style to customers' table through bearers was the main category of food outlets for Pensioners Paradise Bangalore. These type of Hotels initially made way for Fast-Food Darshini outlets that catered to the needs of customers with affordable quality food at quicker delivery mode called 'self-service'. Further these Self-service hotels mushroomed across the city in name of 'DARSHINI' chains. The key reason for mushrooming of SELF-SERVICE DARSHINI hotels can be attributed to unavailability of sufficient space and human resource to supply food to tables in service based restaurants.

As Bangalore evolved from Pensioner's Pardise to Information Technology Hub in 1990-2000, small cafe and chat centers began to mushroom outside I.T parks to provide affordable and tastier food for tongues that would have frozen eating same kind of Hi-Fi FOOD-COURT stuff within campuses. Now the trend is to set up small eat-outs called MOBILE-CANTEENS on road side thanks to whooping costs of realty and rents for commercial space in city limits. Now we have CHINESE, NORTH-INDIAN, SOUTH-INDIAN, SEA-FOOD, WESTERN-INDIA Chat centers, ANDRA-STYLE, HYDERABADI-STYLE, MANDYA-STYLE, DAVANAGERE-STYLE, HUBLI-STYLE food outlets on wheels and small canteens with self-service mode of operation doing hot-business in food and catering sector of Bangalore. Few outlets which are well known to me in areas of Rajajinagar, Malleshwaram, Peenya Industrial Hub and Hesaraghatta Main road are shared with you all here:

Bhattru Hotel (opposite Manipal North-Side Hospitals), Malleshwaram West

Bhattru Hotel or Raghavendra Hotel is a small eat-out joint next to Malleshwaram railway station that serves vegetarian food of great taste starting from IDLI, VADA to various kinds UPAMA akka UPPITTU at affordable hygienic style. It is an outlet people visiting Manipal Hospitals or Railway station will definitely drop in to satisfy their appetite.


One More Bhattru Hotel in Peenya Industrial Hub

This outlet always burgeons with customers from the industries of Peenya Industrial estate. The Open Masala Dosa and a type of BHEL-PURI called 'SANGEETA' are patented food items of this BHATTRU Hotel. This hotel utilizes footpath to its optimum extent. Here Service is also available to customers but at affordable price!

Gowdru Hotel in Chikkabanvara, Hesaraghatta Road

This is out and out Non-Vegetarian hotel that serves delicious Mutton Curry and Ragi Balls with Liver Fry and other parts of Goats and Sheep to customers in a home-cum-hotel environment.

Veena Stores, Malleshwaram

The name sounds like a Book stall! But it is a small store that caters to needs of Morning Joggers and Walkers of Malleshwaram with tasty IDLY and VADA. Also in Malleshwaram we have Bhagyalakshmi BUTTER-GULKAND store that prepares innovative food items using butter and gulkand. This outlet is in Malleshwaram circle (5th Cross). Those who often visit t Chickpet and Avenue road always talk about yummy DHONNE-BIRYANI of this locality. In addition mushrooming of mobile-eat outs selling Chinese to North Indian are doing good business in this city where commercial space is not affordable to all class of society to do business.

Bangalore Mob, Riots & Provident Funds Chaos

Dear Friends, The outer ring road of Bangalore is housing small scale industries and garment industries in huge number. Peenya Industrial Area in Tumkur Road is regarded as biggest Asian Hub for small scale industries. The workers in these garment industries lack basic facilities and often commute in goods-carriers to work and home. This Huge population which has migrated from various parts of state of Karnataka and even neighboring states in search of two times meal a day are in FIX for many reasons.

If you commute in Jalhalli Cross and Peenya-Yeshwantpur corridor in evening peak hour traffic you can witness the HUGE-Population of unorganized workers residing and commuting in this locality.

The other corridor of Hosur Road witnessed Mob trying to torch Police station to avenge the Lathi-Charge faced by women on 18th April 2016. This also led to police opening fire and two innocent people getting injured.Latest news read on

According to various workers & labor association leaders, all these employees are under UNORGANIZED sector of workers burgeoning in outskirts of Bangalore aka Bengaluru city. The last two days Rioting and Chaos witnessed by Bengaluru is amalgamation of restlessness filled among these workers particularly WOMEN labourers of garment sector.

According to one of the Workers Leader, who participated in TV9 (channel) live-show, these labourers are paid less than HALF DOLLAR salary a day while counterparts in CHINA and other countries have a better package. Though the central Govt. decision to stall payment of Employers share in Provident Fund until retirement age was the trigger point for this FIGHT! overall the living conditions of these workers in SALARY-DISPARITY METRO SOCIETY has to be blamed first. 

The other angle given by few media persons is that Employers running these garments triggered the riots by spreading rumors of UNFAIR-PROVIDENT SCHEME, as they had to pay huge sum of Rupees as Employer's Contribution under the newly formulated policy.

The Union Govt. which makes hasty one sided decisions in many issues like Pornography BAN on net to New Provident  scheme and withdrawing it hastily shows they lack planning and are unable to foresee the repercussions.

The state Govt. has to be blamed for poor handling of the mob particularly mishandling women workers, who form the major chunk of Garment Industry Laborers.

Finally paramilitary forces have been deployed to control any further untoward incidences. "AACH Din ABHI AANA HAIN"!

RCB is known to host a huge total and get defeated inspite of huge total, in this Vivo-IPL T-20 Tournament. This trend continued this week too. The Karnataka players in other teams like Delhi and Kolkata are ruining chances of Bangalore winning matches as they are playing small little cameo innings for their franchise in home turf aka K.S.C.A Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Campus Humor: From Teacher's & Student's Angle

Friends 'Campus' & 'Buzz' are synonyms isn't it? The academic calendar has Lecture Classes, Assignments, Internal Assessment Tests, Semester Exams and Cultural Fests plus Sports activities. While the students have their own 'Parallel Calendar' running throughout the semester with Class Bunks, First-Day First Shows, Gala Party, Love Affairs so on.....

Enjoyment in campus has no generation barriers. While past generations had their bit of entertainment with Mad-Ads, Comedy-Shows etc. Today's 'Gadget Savvy' generation come out with many Short-Movies uploaded on YouTube and use Apps like Dub-Smash to create neo-entertainment stuff in campus.

It is hard to imagine a single college campus whose students haven't contributed to YouTube Videos. Thus is the craze for'Short-Movie' making on campus issues.

My generation was pre-globalization one! Talking to opposite gender classmate and having intimacy was a big achievement for majority of student crowd. In such an era, A girl wishing you by shaking hands had potential to become NEWS! If you get such an accomplishment, your peers would create 'Hulla-Gulla' in campus, taunting you with quotes like "You will never Wash your Hands, after that intimate Hand shake!"

But Today's Campus has embraced Western outlook seamlessly. Other day I was in campus going for coffee, A bunch of girls were screaming from inside college bus. Another peer of that crew who was heading towards the bus from class, screamed loudly 'Hey, Why are you screaming as if someone is RAPING you?'

whereas for my generation this was really a TABOO issue.

While College fests are meant for merry making by students, Faculty have additional responsibility of policing the crowd to avoid bad incidences. So as a teacher you will play role of POLICE/SECURITY PERSONNEL (sometimes even Walkie-Talkie wireless phones will be given too).

My best memories are of Viva-Voce conducted in Practical examinations. As a student 'Philosopher' within me used to give answer to the questions instead of  'techie' within me. One such incidence is worth mentioning here. It was Microprocessor lab examination, I completed my experiments successfully, Teacher summoned me for Viva-Voce. Her question was Define 'PORT'. The answers I gave wasn't convincing her, she negated all my answers. Finally the Philosopher within me woke up and replied, "Madam, There are certain things in LIFE that doesn't have Answer or solution." The teacher was taken aback she stopped questioning me and concentrated on other mate of me!

I faced the same pinch of salt as a teacher later in my career. A student was caught for having copy-chits in his pockets. That guy coolly replied, "Sir, The trousers isn't mine, in urgency I wore my room-mates pants."

The next incidence was narrated by my friend as TRUE one happened in his class, Faculty was drawing a Four-stroke Engine diagram on board. A paper-engine-less rocket crash landed on the dais. Faculty became angry and started screaming at students. A cool dude from back benches came running with his hand-kerchief and picked up the rocket and murmured "Sir, We will send this to Finger Print Experts."   

Once I was conducting Viva-Voce for 'C' Programming lab. My question to student was 'Define Compiler.' He replied, "Sir, It is BLUE in Color!" His answer was apparently right as TURBO-C Compiler is BLUE in Color!

Friends, don't you agree that Campus means BUZZ & FUN.
