Interview with Dattanna by Kiran Kumar: Let Government Provide Funds, Not Govern Rangayana
Then how should the new Rangayanas be? The new Rangayanas should be independent. City's Rangayana is an autonomous institute. Let the government fund it but not rule it. Let the artistes have freedom to do their work. Don't disturb a repertory which has been doing commendable work by sending them to the new Rangayanas. It is a surprise how an agreement was reached on breaking Rangayana and splitting its artistes. Read On

A “Yogi” of a Different Kind – Sri M
Living among the Rishis in caves deep inside the Himalaya, visiting every Hindu holy place including Manasa Sarovar, he returns to the plains a transformed man. He finds his Guru in one Yogi Maheshwarnath Babaji, who transforms his consciousness totally. In matters spiritual it is usually the word “enlightened” that is used for a spiritually realized person, but here I have not found that word being used for Sri M. Wonder, if he has not yet taken that final step, quantum leap into “enlightenment” from which state of eternal bliss, God intoxication, there is no return. Read On

People: R. N. Kulkarni: A Crusader from City
It has become a cliché these days for government servants who retire from service to say, "Well, I may have retired, but not tired." That also means he is available for an extension of service or for another job. However, those who feel really tired and have retired from government service will tell you, "Well, enough is enough. I am really tired." And some really honest may well say, "I am sick of government service." To the latter category, I suppose, belongs the author of the book "Sin of National Conscience" R. N. Kulkarni, a resident of our Mysore city. Read On

Dr. Vasundhara Doreswamy the Danseuse
If the saying “there is always a woman behind a successful man”, is axiomatic, then conversely too, it must be true — “there is always a man behind every successful woman”. As I know, later, when Doreswamy passed away, my Tax Consultant and a benevolent friend, T. R. Harish, a relation of Vasundhara, stood by her to pursue her great art in the real Hindu tradition and culture. He is now the Managing Trustee of VPAC Trust and has indeed contributed no less to take Vasundhara to the present dizzy heights as a danseuse par excellence, Guru and Choreographer. Read On

Advocate M. A. Sampath Iyengar: Making life a celebration at 94
I asked my brother late Dr. K. B. Subbaiah to suggest a lawyer to draft the partnership deed. He mentioned the names of Sampath Iyengar and also H. Gangadhar (politician and later MLA). Though I had decided to go to Sampath Iyengar discounting Gangadhar who was famous as a criminal lawyer, I could not meet Sampath Iyengar as finally the partnership deed was drafted by our Chartered Accountant as per the wishes of my partners.

Celebrity Speak: Sonu Sood, Riding High
Heard you refused to get “physical” with Amitabh Bachchan in “Budda Hoga Tera Baap”? I was very much there. Dabaang got noticed “well” and so did I. I was in films much before that and I'm sure people did notice me very well in Yuva, Jodha Akbar, Singh is King etc. With Dabaang, my role and the film clicked together! I have miles to go and I do agree the journey hasn't been very smooth. I was supposed to hit him hard in the very first scene. I've grown up idolizing him and couldn't bring myself to do something like that! But like a true actor, Mr. Bachchan said, "Forget all that. Come on. Push me hard," and I did and it showed. Read On

People: The Grand Old Man of Mysore
Just like a doctor, an advocate has a golden touch (hastaguna) and Sampath had it in plenty. Whenever he touched a brief that automatically saw success. Those were the days when everybody believed “Justice prevails”. Judges were afraid of the brilliant advocates. Once a rich man approached Sampath Iyengar and requested him to take up his case. He refused as it was not a just case. The rich man offered double the fees but he was not moved and told him that the case was a bundle of lies and hence he would not take it. The angry rich man, before going out, said "If this is your attitude, you will have to close down your office." The rich man is proved wrong by Sampath. Read On

People: Green Gandhian Sundarlal Bahuguna still fiery at 95!
Why did not the Chipko movement become popular in the rest of the country? As I always say, environmental activism is not about fame or money. It is all about dedication, devotion and determination. Where are such youth today? The desire to make a change should be deep-rooted. Green activism is about uprooting from urban life and staying among the people who are affected and sharing their difficulties. Read On

A Tribute: “Kailaasa Vaasa” – “Bheemasena”
Before the commencement of the concert, the artistes were felicitated by Gundu Rao. When it was the turn of Bhimsen Joshi, he got on to the stage in his usual attire of jubba and dhoti with an old shawl draped casually across his shoulders. As Gundu Rao was about to drape the new shawl after garlanding him, Bhimsen Joshi took off his own shawl and draped it across Gundu Rao's burly shoulders and then embraced him. A laughing Gundu Rao then draped the brand new shawl and spoke for a few minutes with the great singer. Read On

By S. R. Krishna Murthy: Leading Light called Palimaru Swamiji
Kanaka Dasa was closely associated with Sri Krishna Mutt. Lord Krishna gave darshan to Kanaka Dasa here through a window when he was not allowed to enter the sanctum sanctorum. Kanaka Dasa had offered Lord Krishna what he could afford. That was a half coconut shell full of Ganji. Vadiraja Swamy had ordered the first offering of all days to the Lord should be the same and it is being followed even now when Lord Krishna can afford even a golden plate. Read On

K. M. Chengappa: Coorg Sauce for Pizzas in US
The American Calypso Pizza tastes tangier with a dash of tomato sauce bottled in a small industry in Kodagu. The pickled Jalapeno slices that spice up sandwiches, burgers, sausages and other such bland dishes in Canada and Australia, are also bottled in the same industry. The sweet, crisp and juicy pineapple and Alphonso mango slices are also processed and packaged (under the brand name of Mycem, Nectar Fresh) at the Coorg Food Products (CFP), a subsidiary of Kodagu District Orange Growers' Co - operative Society, located in Gonikoppa town, 100 kms from Mysore city.

Interview with Kailash Kher: Searching for Kailasa in Kher
One last question, Kailash. You have sung for Kannada, Telugu and Tamil movies. You have even done cameo roles and then you have turned composer for films. So, where are you headed? Mujhe patha nahin. Sacch! I think this is a spiritual search. Did you know that deep down there is a spiritual quality to that Kannada song which I sang and which I am told is a hit… Hale paatre, Hale kabana… (Old vessel, old iron). 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

Interview with Anant Nag: I am awaiting Moksha
JH was not what he was painted out to be. You yourself know that as you are associated with their family. He was the most understanding and broad - minded man who could go beyond the confines of ideology. He could see your point of view, even if he did not agree with you. I was an MLA, MLC and a Minister in JH's regime and I have no regrets. It is not my nature to speak ill, unfounded ill or otherwise, of another. Read On

Meet Mysore’s own Magician Raj Bhat
Why are not magicians playing an active role in exposing fake Godmen who still continue to fool people by pretending to materialise ash, Shivling, gold - rings and other objects? It’s not completely true that magician are not doing anything. Many, including me, educate children in schools after performing a magic show about how these fake Godmen are hoodwinking people using the very same tricks which they just saw. Of course, we cannot perform it in a big scale as some of the ingredients like chemicals used for the show are quite expensive, which we can’t afford to buy. Read On

Interview: Mayor dwells on his plans for Mysore’s development
What is your vision for Mysore? How do you hope to achieve this? My vision is to make Mysore a green and pothole - free city. In future, roads will be designed with a slight curvature at the centre so that rain water flows off at the sides and enters the drainage without stagnating on the road. I am thinking of handing over the maintenance of roads to contractors by making them sign a contract for a certain period. Money will be paid to them in installments. Half the amount will be paid as first installment; after successful maintenance, the next installment of 25% will be paid and the last installment will be paid at the end of contract period. The contractors will be held responsible for maintaining the roads. Read On

Pratham: Building the Bridge of Knowledge
Pratham is not just another NGO. They do not get funds from any government body, they are just a bunch of enthusiastic volunteers who give up their time for an hour or two every week and share it with young underprivileged children by becoming catalysts in the exchange of knowledge. Pratham is a Knowledge Bridge. Pratham is a product of necessity. There is a divide between those who have the benefits of education and those who do not have such breaks. Pratham bridges this divide. It’s hard not to be carried away by Preethi Agarwal Ranjan’s enthusiasm. She is the prime motivator of Pratham and she talks about Pratham with a passion that is infectious and in the end you find yourself asking her where to sign up! Read On

Kudpi Rajanikanth Shenoy: Car Street Bids Farewell to Taj Mahal Cafe
The most popular item served by Taj Mahal is the inimitable “Kaapi”, which used to be served as “Single”, “Special”, “Light Special” and “Adha Double”! I remember my late father telling us about Komal Vilas days, and the flavour of Thuppa Dosa, Avalakki Usli and Teek Rotti with Sheera or Halwa those days in the forties that used to come for less than One Mukkaal! The famous Wheat and Banana Halwa, Mithai Laadu, Saat, Mysore Pak, Jilebi and Thukdi are popular with households of Mangalore and undivided South Kanara District. These used to be freshly prepared daily at Car Street Taj Mahal. Sugar Coated Cashew nuts with plain Cardamom and Saffron flavours, are rare to find in Karnataka State. Read On

Kudpi Rajanikanth Shenoy: New Taj Mahal Cafe opens at new facility
New Taj Mahal Café in its new premises has promises to keep. Miles may look like inches for regular goers at the new facility. Slight increase in prices seems well justified, looking at the ambience and cleanliness. Parking area looks vast, compared to Car Street café. With little innovation, drive-in facility could be extended; we overheard couple of connoisseurs commenting as they got into their car. All said and done, The New Taj Mahal Café at Kodialbail is here to stay! Read On

“Jai Ho” Vijay Prakash goes down memory lane
"There are innumerable memories of Mysore that will remain evergreen in my mind. Mysore Palace, Chamundi Hill, St. Thomas School in which I studied, JSS College and many more. All are great places. Mysore Masale Dose, Masalapuri sold near Sterling Talkies, the solemnity of Chamundivana, the sweetness of Mysore Pak, and scores of other delicacies continue to captivate my thoughts. It is a heavenly feeling to ride a mobike and go round the city. I can never take away the city off my mind. No other activity is dearer to me than to savour the delicacies of my city. Oh! the hot and fresh Masale Dosa of Gayathri Tiffin Room in Chamundipuram ", he recalled. Read On

C. H. Vijayashankar: The people's MP
Vijayashankar is known to be a person who moves and mingles with the common man, on a day – to - day basis. If there is work, he will walk the distance rather than wait for the people to wait at his gate. This had happened when people voted other candidates from the constituency. Of course, people's memory is short and their preference can be influenced or vitiated by smart political operators by means fair or foul. Read On

Pramod Muthalik: Hero of Sorts
I had seen him in flesh and blood a couple of years ago in my office sitting in front of me. At this distance of time I do not remember what for he had come, but I do remember a few sparklers of our conversation. He identified himself as an RSS man working in North Karnataka but now distanced himself for whatever reason from both RSS and naturally BJP. However, he projected himself before me as a very strongly committed Hindutva man. I was really not much impressed by his personality nor the way he spoke. Read On

Interview with Jeev Milka Singh: Golf is one of the fastest growing sport in our country
Amidst a personal tragedy in your family, you showed tremendous will power and grit to go on to compete and ultimately win the title in the Golf Nippon Series JT Cup 2008.

"It is very difficult to focus on the game when my mind is on something else." I was not focused at all and continued with the motions of the game on day one. Read On

Animals are our Bread & Butter. Why should we ill – treat them?
Do you feel that the NGOs are right in saying that the animals are harassed? They want a natural environment for the animals. Is drinking milk natural? Is wearing clothes natural? They come to such drastic conclusions like elephants have to walk for eighteen hours in the jungle. What about Zoos? You can’t have double standards. Even temples should not have elephants then. Why target the circus only? Read On

“Success is the outcome of my poverty”: Mathoorji

Mathoorji too firmly believes in the principle “If you do it, do it well”. It is said, you must first be a believer, if you want to be an achiever. Read On

Please don't assign money value to the sacred democratic set up.As a result of conducting the election by strictly adhering to the prescribed regulations by using official machinery on this scale and also on fleet of vehicles, the citizens were enabled to take part in the process peacefully.

An interview with Congress candidate Vasu: Chamaraja looks for a new brand ambassador
Everyone, including common man, feels that 2008 Assembly election is going to be totally different. If you endorse this view, in what way is it different? Yes, it is really different all over the State so also in Chamaraja constituency. During my campaign trail I was surprised to find that the people this time are yearning for a change and for a new face to represent them. Having seen the 20 - month disgusting misrule of JD(S) and BJP, the educated voters and common man alike are joining the Congress wave. Read On

Bally Sagoo in Da House
Considering that new DJs are born by the day, what is the “one thing” that is essential to keep a DJ competent and give an edge? “Read the crowd”. It is important to play what the crowd wants and not always what a DJ likes. I have a huge music collection and I spend thousands of pounds to keep myself updated on the latest happenings and to get new ideas. I study the leaf and the video of various artistes to see the effort that has gone in. I am now living the dream that I dreamt and have opened the doors for someone to say "I want to be like him."

An artist of a different kind: Ganjifa Raghupathy Bhatta speaks out

I also did some study on Ganjifa that was in vogue during the period of Krishnaraja Wadiyar III of Mysore. Read On

People’s lives have become better and when one’s life becomes better, it definitely has an impact on the environment, on the people around. Hence, if people become more peaceful, more happy through the Art of Living, the world will be a better place. Read On

Animal electricity! “BovinEl” power stations for every street of rural India
The concept of generating BovinEl power is downright simple and is based on India’s age-old technology of animal – driven oil mills or oil presses (called “gaaNa,” “gaaNamu,” “gaaNi,” “kolhu,” “chekku,” etc., in different parts of India). The original, country – made oil mill consisted of a wooden mortar and a pestle. The mortar used to be fixed to the ground and the pestle, with oilseeds compressed under it, used to be rotated by one bullock or a pair attached to it by a yoke. The seeds would thus be crushed by the friction and pressure generated. Read On

An interview with G. T. Deve Gowda on the eve of his joining BJP: BJP will win 8 seats in Mysore and Chamaraja Nagar Districts
You were in a secular party. Now you are joining a party, which your previous party considers “communal”. How do you defend your change over? To tell you the truth, there is no ideology in any party these days. There is neither secularism nor communalism in political parties. You please tell me, who is communal and who is secular? It is only a political jargon. No one wants to commit on ideology. In a democracy only power and development are important. Read On

“Cute” Actress Reema Sen lets loose…
Bombay girls come down South as the last resort? Please! If that question is directed at me, I’m the wrong person to be asking it to!

Films are films in whichever language they are! The South has given me everything and I haven’t been here because I was a flop in Bollywood. Read On

The Magic of Mungaaru Male: Interview with Director Mr. Yograj Bhat
Tell us about the music in your film. It must be Mano Murthy’s best work. Mano Murthy’s music is always considered to be very melodious. When I narrated the film to him, he was very eager to work on it. Since he lives in California, we used to discuss over the phone, he used to compose tunes and mail it to me every night. We spent months finalizing the five tunes and compositions. I must admit that, all the late night discussions over the phone have paid off. He has created wonders. Read On

He smiled and told her, “Madam honestly I remember nothing about the subject you taught but I remember every one of the stories you told at the end of the class”. Read On

Indians fear God, not rules.... Americans fear rules, not God!!!
The second and subsequent generations of US residents of Indian origin are said to be neither here nor there. What is your assessment?

The first generation went to America with dreams of establishing themselves there. At that time, India too was different. Money was difficult to get for trips abroad. Read On

Interview with Narayana Murthy: "Follow Your Bliss", Narayana Murthy tells Youth
You are retiring at 60, which is very young by today's norm. Why this early retirement? Yes it is, but I will retire. I believe in making room for the youth. We have to give other people a chance and more importantly a chance for the youngsters to show their skill and prove themselves. Look at our politicians, we have Ministers who are so old that they cannot even remember the last question asked, but then they still want to hold on to their seats instead of making way for new talent and youth. Some of them are so old that they don't even remember which board meeting they are sitting in. Read On

M. S. Sathyu tells Film Makers: Take criticisms sportively
What do you feel about the film industry of the '70s and now? These days, films are blindly made. Their names and heroes may differ, but the story, frame and other aspects are the same — sex and violence. There is no novelty in Kannada films these days. It appears, actors like Sudeep, Darshan and others feel that showing weapons and muscle power is acting. It should change. Read On
