When i was in msrit the way we celebrated for kannada rajyotsava was good. I miss that kind of a crowd. Well today in RVCE celebrated Kannada rajyotsava for this year "Jenkara 10" and it was totally different. The amazing thing was an elephant with "Dollukunitha" was there to invite the guests. It was great fun seeing people dance infront of the elephant. Poet S. Shadakshara and Pranesh were the chief guests and it was great listening to them.
S. Shadakshara is a popular poet, but i wondered about him being an engineer. He did his engineering in SJCE, Mysore in 1971. His joke about dosa and friends was good. And his enlightening incidents related to former president APJ Abdul kalam was nice to know. # things to do are
1) Speak in kannada
2) Use more kannada
3) Read more kannada
Well its unfortunate to blog in english. Can't help!!!
Pranesh gave stomach full of comedy. The best among them were "Lekahaki","tagolli","vicharamadri". His experience in America was really invaluable. The way americans teach their students keeping in mind that each one of them becomes American President was mind blowing. Just loved it.
Outside there was a temporary bookstall open with lots of kannada books, as soon as i came out i saw one book and bought it immediately as it was the last print left there and it was guess what " Nanna Tamma Shankara" by Ananth Nag.
Hogged some gola candies and came home!!!
JAI KARNATAKA
