Kannada Rajyotsava in College

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!!!

DEEPAVALI

Whats deepavali means to different people ???

To a Friend busy in professional life.

1) few days off from work , time to relax at home , eat well , watch a movie.

2) goto native participate in some puja with parents.

3) goto a long trip say to goa drink well, eat well, make some comments to the people around.

4) group together with friends make some party inside home again eat well, drink well, discuss things that neither makes difference to self or anybody else just to show off the competition of how better one can hurt the ego of others indirectly and laugh at it.

To a Friend busy with studies.

1) goto native participate in some puja with parents, relax at home , eat well , watch a movie.

2) study little more and finish of most of the pending stuff and plan for further days.

To a kid

1) crackers crackers crackers.

2) sweets sweets sweets.

3) new dresses.

4) new movies on television.

To parents

1) lots of shopping.

2) preparation for food and rituals at home.

To me

1) Make the above observations and ending up with no conclusions, instead in a post like this on a blog to increase the blog count.

2) Wondering how important a festival is for man's life if he feels happy all the time, if he is not bothered much about what happens in the outside world when he is true to it and true to himself.

Anyway Happy deepavali to everyone for celebrating it in their own ways with the relative beliefs. Take care

The social network

Saw The social network movie which is all about the story of how facebook was found by Mark Zuckerberg and how the process went with various difficulties to reach what it is today. Planning to read few books that explore story of facebook from different angles.

1) The Accidental Billionaires
2) Inside Facebook

will catch u guys with my experience of reading those books soon.


Had read few interesting books already
1) Rashmi bansal's "CONNECT THE DOTS"(gifted to me on my birthday by a close friend)
2)Dr. Viktor Frankl's "Man search for meaning".(book1 had some reference of this book so went and bought it and it was worth all 225rupees)

both worth more than anybooks

Impressed by a friend's blog

I love reading blogs because it gives the insight of how a person's mind is organized and also helps me in organizing my own thoughts in constructive way. In my opinion blogs should not be sites giving facts or some data rather give individual's experience in generalized way.

The Quotes I like the most!!!

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”

"Fight one more round. When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard, fight one more round. When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired that you wish your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep, fight one more round ? remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped."

James Corbett

An out of the box idea only comes when the box is filled... shishir m k

Let me not be romantic from now...

"To be brutally frank, we humans are simply not capable of thinking beyond politics, sex and violence on our own. It's not our fault. We simply are not evolved enough."

FEW MORE..

I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

I’m one of those bad things that happen to good people.

How can I miss you if you won’t go away?

Sorry if I looked interested. I’m not.

I’m busy. You’re ugly. Have a nice day.

Remember my name – you’ll be screaming it later.

I took an IQ test and the results were negative.

I don’t have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who’d be mad at me for saying that

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I SAW THE ABOVE EYES...

"When you look her in the eyes, traveling to the depths of her soul and you say a million things without a trace of sound, you know that your own life is inevitably consumed within the rhythmic beatings of her heart."

FEW QUOTES:

My first and favorite quote

YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ME

AS YOU PLEASE....

BUT... I AM WHAT I AM

AND THAT'S SOMETHING

THAT YOU CAN NEVER BE....

AND THAT'S SOMETHING

THAT NO ONE CAN EVER BE.....
