K. M. Chengappa: Mir Mukhtiar Ali’s Roohi Rang
The shayari about a lover who becomes an alcoholic by merely looking at the eyes of his beloved; Yeh jo halka halka suroor hai, sab teri nazar ka kasoor hai, jo sharab peena sikha diya, mujhe ek sharabi bana diya... was truly intoxicating. In another verse, Ali, citing himself as an example, sung; Gaoon bajaoon... sab ko rijhaoon... albeli mastani... deen dharam se begaani... (I sing and play instruments, entertain everyone, I am unaware of caste or religious barriers). Read On

Aparoopa - A Unique museum to keep alive a unique hobby
In this new era of e - mail, ipods, DVDs and other electronic gadgets of entertainment, the hobby of collecting stamps and currency is still alive in late M. V. Lakshminarayana's residence “Aparoopa” at Agrahara in Mysore city. Lakshminarayana, an employee of State Bank of Mysore (SBM) in city, was in the habit of collecting postage stamps, greeting cards, ancient coins, currency notes, war medals, antique pieces, first day covers and commemoration stamps, photography. Over a period of 40 years, he has collected more than 15,000 stamps, coins and currency notes of about 150 countries and more than 350 war medals. He has exhibited his collections in more than 90 towns in Karnataka. After Lakshminarayana’s demise in 2005, his wife Shantha Lakshminarayana is looking after this Museum Aparoopa. 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

"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?

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

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."

You made name and fame more as a Ganjifa artist. Why Ganjifa? No, no. You are wrong. I only revived a dying art called Ganjifa. Did research on the subject and travelled to Orissa, Bihar and other parts of Northern India where the Kings and Nawabs used to play with Ganjifa playing cards, also called Chadh. I also did some study on Ganjifa that was in vogue during the period of Krishnaraja Wadiyar III of Mysore. Read On

What motivated you to make R. K. Narayan's novel The Guide into a legendary movie? As a film maker, it is my job to be searching for good stories. After reading the marvellous creation of R. K. Narayan, I called the great writer from California in 1965 and R. K. Narayan told me over the phone from Mysore that he was thrilled to receive a phone call from me and at once, told me “I will give you the rights to make the novel Guide into a movie!” Read On

A talk with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Has the world become a better place to live through the Art of Living? You have to ask the million who have experienced the Art of Living and they will definitely vouch for it.

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

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

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

What do you feel about the film industry of the '70s and now? These days, films are blindly made.

It appears, actors like Sudeep, Darshan and others feel that showing weapons and muscle power is acting. It should change. Read On

Interview with Mr Praveen Sood, Mysore City Police Chief
Is it true that many cases either traffic or otherwise, are booked for the purpose of monthly record, which is mandatory for your department? Why not all through the month, which will instill fear of law in the hearts of drivers? This is a wrong notion. Traffic Police do their duty everyday except on holidays. We collect a sum of Rs. 40 to 50 thousand everyday as fines. We collect about Rs.8 to Rs.10 lakh as fine every month. Read On

Interview with Vyjayanthimala Bali
Your exposure and involvement in dance. Do you think it helped in your film career? I have reaped a lot of benefit being a dancer. Practising and performing dance are equivalent to practising yoga. Dance is mixed in religion and our culture. Being a devout Hindu, thinking of Hindu mythology, understanding of Hindu epics becomes possible only because of practising this art. It has helped me to be strong mentally and physically and to concentrate. You see how agile I am. Read On

Tarunasagara Maharaj: Hard on the ears, Sweet for Life
Why revolutionary discourse? What does it mean? Earlier, I used to deliver discourses in soft, sweet and pleasing tones. But the listeners treated them as lullabies and forgot. There is a need for words, which can whip them up from deep slumber. Only harsh truth should be told by the Minister to his King, by a doctor to his patient and by a Saint to the society. Read On
