Destitutes’ Rehab Centre: Children of a Lesser God?
Walking through the corridors of the Destitutes’ Rehabilitation Centre in Jyothinagar, Mysore, one could see the overwhelming despair in the faces of the inmates, many of whom have been brought here without enquiry. They say they have families and wish to be released from the Centre, which has failed to be a home even to the homeless due to the impassivity of the officials concerned. The roofless rooms, windowless bathrooms, corridors overfilled with the “children of a lesser god” feature in this article. Read On

People: Kumble Sundar Rao: Yakshagana artiste par excellence
Being a regular visitor to a hotel in his home town, one day a stranger approached him and asked him if he could render certain dialogues of a character in the Yakshagana play as the regular artiste suddenly took ill. That proved to be the turning point in Sundar Rao’s life. His first role of delivering dialogue (who is known as Bhagawata at the age of 19, was such an instant success that opportunities started pouring in and he never turned back again. Over the years he gradually gained mastery over all the other features of the play such as the Raga, Tala and Prasanga. Read On

Vikram Muthanna in Black & White: Common Wealth Games: Adjust & Pray
In his interviews, he does not give straight answers, instead gives convoluted excuse. He seems to believe that if you cannot convince, then confuse. What is amusing is his new habit of ending each of his answers with “it’s going to be the best games ever!” Some people may say “what a misplaced sense of over - confidence” and call this “delusional” behaviour and some like Sharad Yadav have simply called Kalmadi “thick skinned”.

To Radiocity FM with love and disgust.

Of late, they have started broadcasting Kannada songs. This is done in the evening during the weekdays in a programme called Hotair. They broadcast some 4-5 songs, that's it. This is really bad. The issue here is not just about Kannada songs but it should be seen in a broader sense. It is about the bias against Kannada by Radiocity. When a full 4 hours can be dedicated for Old Hindi songs(11 O'clock show), 15 hours for English music and the rest for new Hindi music, is it impossible to dedicate 2-3 hours for the local language. This is my point. Read On
