the slow deterioration of the Kannada language is getting really hard to see. people are no longer capable of speaking proper kannada. spelling and grammar mistakes on sign boards and even books and novels. thuggish language on news channels. A couple of days ago I was watching dasara procession live and the commentary was so bad. man didn't know half of the words of kannada. at one point he literally said 'eshtu virajamana agiddare' which literally translate to 'how much she is seated'. bitch who is gonna add the adjective there? your thatha?? why is everyone suddenly like this? why am I suddenly seeing so many mistakes?

I recently watched Salaar!
It was recommended by Netflix and I decided to give it a try. I didn't think I would like the movie though. It's not like I don't enjoy dystopian stories or action movies. But the movies involving mindless violence, hypermasculinity without any proper story and context put me off.
But I was intrigued by the intro and the dynamics between Deva and Varadha. Deva held a live wire to get Varadha's nose-ring back. In the next scene Varadha protected Deva and his mother by giving up his territory. And not just any territory, but his biggest territory. It showed the regard both of them hold for each other. Then the whole 'Salaar' lore is narrated by Baba and Varadha calling Deva, 'his Salaar'. I couldn't wait to watch more of their interactions.
Hence, you all can imagine my disappointment when the next scene wasn't about them, but the story of an Odia movie named 'Agastya'. I had watched it years ago and knew that it was a remake of a Kannada movie. I haven't watched the original movie though.
I persisted through the first half of the movie with a hope of seeing Deva and Varadha onscreen again. Tbh, the first half was not that bad with the mystery behind Amna and Deva's behaviour, the 'Prathi Gaadhalo' song and Radha Rama-Obulamma co-dependent relationship.
And I don't have words to describe the second half of the movie. I can only say, I am completely obsessed with 'Deva and Varadha'.
I am not someone who's into homoerotic movies/books. Simply because, I have a history crushing on fictional characters and love to imagine myself in place of the heroines. Or if I don't like the heroine's character, I imagine a new story with an OC.
But something about the relationship of these two characters, has me hooked.
I have already watched the movie in Telugu, Hindi and now watching it in English. I think I am going to watch it in all languages. The only movie I had watched in all languages was 'Bahubali 1 & 2.' I will definitely not stop until I have analysed each and every scene, character and relationship.
I will definitely be disappointed if in the second part, they will make Aadhya a love interest of Deva. I know, Indian Cinema hasn't evolved enough to show 'Deva and Varadha' as a couple. But showing their happy ending with 'legendary atoot dosti' is enough for me. But I can never imagine Deva choosing Aadhya over Varadha. That would be an offence.
I can't wait for the second part to be released. And do tag me when you all write fanfictions/posts on 'Salaar'.

this is one of Those very small moments in life that i'll remember for a long time. a week ago, i booked an uber from the metro to my house. the auto driver was an old man, his auto was so different in a sense that there was a barrier in front of my seat, which was a layer between the driver and the customer. there was a tiny fan on the right hand corner, a mirror in between and also an english to kannada translator poster. at first i was so confused, it was so different. but as he kept riding, i loved the new found security which came with these features. it was so cool. and in the signal, another auto stopped by on the right, that auto driver told my driver that he really liked how the auto looked. my auto driver, who's an old man replied saying that he had done all of it himself and that it took him about 1 lakh and that it was mainly for the safety of his customers. this made me want to cry. it's just so small but this man is just so humble and kind and considerate it made me smile so much. so i made up my mind to tell him "romba nalla auto, uncle" meaning "very nice auto, uncle" after i saw the various tamil stickers stuck on its wall. as soon as i got down to tell him that, he himself struck a conversation with me saying it's clever that i booked an auto from metro itself instead of walking all the way down. and then we spoke and when i mentioned i really liked his auto, he smiled and said thankyou ma. its just his smile man. it made me so happy. i sound like an idiot I DONT KNOW but man. i was smiling so much. being kind can truly change someone's life. maybe for a brief moment; but it was there. the kindness was there!!! i love being kind, it's so contagious like what is there not to love man? just be kind!!!! kindness is everything!!! i hope the sweet, old man lives a long, happy life :)

MAHARTH PRASAD CHANDRASEKHAR. “ i must know. ”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ SENDHIL RAMAMURTHY, 50, CIS MAN, HE/HIM ] Welcome to Antioch, MAHARTH PRASAD CHANDRASEKHAR ! Local sources report that you’ve been in town for 2 WEEKS and are known to be CHARMING yet EVASIVE. Others have dredged up rumors that you’re involved in THE VAMPIRE OF ANTIOCH as a SUSPECT, but most know you for your work as the new PROFESSOR OF COMPARATIVE RELIGIONS at ANTIOCH UNIVERSITY.

BIOGRAPHY.
! TW: death, religious intolerance, political assassination, references to violence, discrimination.
The fifth child and youngest son of a prominent Mysuru politician and cabinet member, he was born Danish Prasad Chandrasekhar—a proud expression of his Kannadiga and Tamil heritage and his family's Muslim upbringing. Days were filled with the scent of old, well-loved books and fine tea, a quiet peace shared by the big family. The Chandrasekhars were well-off, surrounded by art and culture. They had everything, no, more than everything they needed and never looked outward. Therefore, they were, in essence, cut off from the world around them. Foolishly, Danish believed their way of living would be eternal.
Therefore, the Chandrasekhars never noticed the warning signs. Figuratively spritzed perfume over the smoke that came in the form of angry letters stuffed in mailboxes. And on a hot night in April, when Danish was away at a youth camp, his family and home were all lost to a raging fire set by a fringe group of dissidents following a contested election. Days after the tragedy, the six-year-old was taken in by an aunt on his mother's side. She was a Classics professor at Bangalore University and a practicing Hindu, and she legally changed his name to Maharth in her misguided idea of 'protection.'
Confused about the warring wills of his beloved nation and nursing a trauma he could not understand as a child, Maharth grew up in a religious household but socially became secular as he delved into learning about the various belief systems around him. He'd been gifted as a child, not only in learning languages but also in the connections of his birth, and his acceptance into the University of Oxford was all but guaranteed.
Maharth was a definite scholar, embracing academia with a matchless love that his peers, many talented beyond their years but still impetuous with youth, couldn't understand. Stranger still was Maharth's proclivities. Upon achieving his Master's in Comparative Theology at Oxford and bearing the unofficial title of an academic darling of the presses bearing the acclaimed name of his education, the newly minted professor chose fellowships in schools far from the eyes of the elite. Maybe he'd give a lecture at York or a semester at Harvard, but Maharth was more than content with setting up an office in the backwoods of America one day and the steppes of Siberia the next.
As years passed, Professor Chandrasekhar's disappearances and reappearances became part of his mystery, an appealing asterisk on the famous educator's magnetic persona. So no eyebrows were raised, and questions caught at the helm of one's throat when the eccentric intelligentsia took up a residency at Antioch University in southern Oregon. A man as odd as Maharth would be a perfect fit with a place as infamously strange as Antioch, they thought, oblivious to how correct they'd be in their assumptions.
& THE VAMPIRE OF ANTIOCH.
The victims of the case have been past and present students of Maharth's classes. This information is not public knowledge.
MISC. HEADCANONS.

WANTED CONNECTION. ( ASSAM. ) ANTAGONISTIC/ROMANTIC.
VIBES: Hannibal-lite, cat-and-mouse games, visitations without a warrant, pet names uttered between sips of tea.
[ Though Maharth is the supposed newcomer in town, he has a surprising wealth of knowledge about Antioch, specifically the case of the Vampire of Antioch. Though on the surface, there doesn't seem to be a connection between the professor and the case victims, upon closer inspection, there's something that doesn't add up... your muse decides to investigate — blatantly? covertly? — and Maharth is very willing to cooperate. After all, the pursuit of knowledge is key to one's self-discovery and enlightenment. ]

VIBES: The Secret History, dark academia, midnight readings of sacred texts on the university lawns.
[ The new professor in town is making waves at Antioch University, with his classes reaching max capacity already in the first week of enrollment. His lectures are a hit with the youth, and some are even vying to be selected for the Professor's exclusive after-hour labs for hands-on, experiential learning. However, it is Maharth who ultimately decides, and whoever he accepts must meet some pre-requisites. ]

WANTED CONNECTION. ( KAHWAH. ) ANTAGONISTIC.
VIBES: The Departed (2006), sicko-to-sicko communication, laying dead flowers on the grave of your worstie, a chaste kiss on the side of a gun's barrel.
[ Whether it's a historical event or a chance encounter, both your muse and Maharth are aware of each other's secrets, which could shake up the town's status quo if revealed. However, the two are at a standstill since they are both firmly established in their roles, and their social circles only partially overlap. So even if they like to subtly hint at a revelation to the journalist or make a veiled threat, they know they won't get away with it without the other exacting swift vengeance. ]
35+, for anyone into wacky-zany toxicity of mutually assured destruction. — (0/1)
WANTED CONNECTION. ( NOON. ) FLIRTATIONSHIP.
VIBES: All of Us Strangers (2023), memories of the one who got away, finding fractions of the one in other people, tip-toeing dotted boundary lines.
[ It's said that "hurt people hurt hurt people," but can hurt people heal hurt people? Your muse and Maharth hit it off, and neither of them says why, though they know it reminds them of what love could've been. Part maladaptive coping mechanism and part feeling understood and seen for the first time, your muse and Maharth casually date and flirt, seeking escape and comfort with no strings attached. Although ignorance is bliss, and both are willfully ignorant, the town around them refuses to let them bury their heads in the sand. ]
MID 40s+, a doomed relationship considering what happens in this small town. — (1/1)

In town, Maharth is as friendly as ever, always there to listen to your troubles over sweets and tea. Your muse is aware of rumors going around, and while they doubt their veracity, it's hard to deny that Uncle Maharth is odd—weirder than what you remember as a child. Your muse starts to question if they truly know the man or if nostalgia is tinting their perception. ]

The year that was...
“Slippery slope. I carry a spare shirt, pretty soon I’m carrying spare pants. Then I’d need a suitcase. Next thing I know, I’ve got a house and a car and a savings plan and I’m filling out all kinds of forms.” —Jack Reacher (in Lee Child’s 2007 novel Bad Luck and Trouble)
For close to a year, I have been fortunate to be part of the Saturday morning conversazione that takes place in the office of Dr. S R Ramaswamy (SRR), who is more than a mentor to me. In one of the early meetings of 2023, SRR gave me his personal copies of two Jack Reacher novels (by James Dover Grant, who writes under the pseudonym Lee Child) and added with a smile, "I must warn you, these are addictive!"
Tumblr media
A few days after that, I was going to be on a long train to Pune and had taken the novel with me. Even before we crossed the Karnataka border, I had finished reading the novel and cursed myself for not having brought the other one too (which was a result of my underestimation of my own reading speed). As soon as I came back to Bangalore, I raced through the other novel. When I returned the two novels to SRR, he gave me more. It had been years since I had read fiction and given that my day job involves reading, writing, design, and publication, I had forgotten the art of reading for pleasure. This gesture on SRR's part rekindled that spark. The flipside was that I started finding films and web series tiresome!
I mostly read Jack Reacher novels this year and what fascinated me the most (besides the intricate plots, value conflicts, and the edge-of-the-seat twists and turns) was the universal appeal of a character like Reacher who lives like a monk and fights like a tiger; even in the materialistic West the allure of a man who is detached and driven by a strong sense of dharma is irresistible. And that gives me hope.
#
Soon I will hit forty. Probably my best years are behind me but I like to believe that they are yet to come. To augment this belief, I lay out my plans for 2024 before getting into my recollections of 2023.
I have three short-term goals, which I wish to complete in the next six months: i. Organise my library ii. Simplify my wardrobe iii. Consolidate my finances and four lifestyle goals that I wish to continue through the year: 1. Exercise daily 2. Read more, and more varied books 3. Play the violin more 4. Avoid sugar and fried foods at all costs
Some of the books in the pipeline for this year are: A R Krishnasastri’s Kathāmṛta, a new edition of Bhāsa’s Svapna-vāsavadatta, D V Gundappa’s Jīvana-dharma-yoga translated by Raghavendra Hebbalalu and Sreelalitha Rupanagudi, Volumes VII and VIII of DVG’s Art Gallery of Memories, S R Ramaswamy’s Silhouettes of Excellence, Sripriya Srinivasan’s book on Pallava history for high school students, minor poems of Nīlakaṇṭha-dīkṣita, and Jayadeva’s Gīta-govindam, among others.
I'm also working on a few exciting projects with cousin Dr. Chandra Shekhar (a short stories anthology), my college classmate Sudarshan K A (on financial wisdom), and with my friends Ganesh Bhat Koppalatota and Neelakanth Kulkarni (curating the best of Kannada literature), and I hope that at least a few of these see completion by end of the year.
#
I was lucky to have a front row seat as the following books unfolded through the course of the year: Three volumes of DVG's Kannada writings in translation (Contemporaries of Vidyaranya, his writings on the two epics of India, and an anthology of his essays on poetics), Vols. V and VI of the Art Gallery of Memories by DVG, Śatāvadhānī Dr. R Ganesh's Kṣāttra: The Tradition of Valour in India, and Dr. L Subramaniam's Festival Beyond Borders, among others.
I was able to facilitate the publication of three books by family members: my mother's booklet of life-lessons titled Song of my Soul, my father's monograph on The Amazing Human Mind, and my great-uncle (Late) Sri S Rangarajan's mammoth 648-page memoirs titled It Happens as Ordained.
The highlight, however, was a little book that I co-wrote with Dr. Ganesh titled The Essential Sanatana Dharma.
Tumblr media
In addition to working on a few books in 2023, I was also invited to give lectures on a variety of topics, some of which were at the insistence of Dr. Arathi V B who has often magnanimously offered me opportunities that are far beyond my ken. If my calculations are right, I must have given no less than eighteen lectures this year. Friends like Madhulika Srivatsa, Sagar Mehta, and Vani Anur invited me to their homes to give lectures to their family and friends, which were highly rewarding.
Tumblr media
I had the singular fortune of addressing a large number of school children, teachers, young parents, devout Hindus, et al. on topics as varied as life skills to the essentials of Sanātana-dharma; from the importance of history and heritage to world musical genres (at an elders' enrichment centre); from Indian Knowledge Systems to the Art Gallery of Memories (series of lectures at the Gokhale Institute of Public Affairs); and on the Artha-śāstra, Mahābhārata, Bhagavad-gītā, and Śrīkṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta.
#
For more than two decades I have been attending the Lakshminarayana Global Music Festival (LGMF) organised by my guru Dr. L Subramaniam (along with his wife, Smt. Kavita Krishnamurti, who is the director of the festival); for some years, I was also active in the organising committee of the festival. Each edition of the LGMF has been a historic event and 2023 was no different. The upcoming tour is no less exciting with a remarkable orchestra from Kazakhstan visiting India.
Tumblr media
Some of the other memorable events that I attended in 2023 include the third edition of Madanotsava organised by my good friends Nirupama and Rajendra, the eightieth birthday celebrations of Dr. Padma Subrahmanyam organised by Drishti Arts Centre, the fifth World Coffee Conference (thanks to my friend Ananth Bhatt), and a lovely eighty-fifth birthday celebration of my great-uncle Sri R Vasudevan that included a superb concert by the musician-surgeon of our family, Dr. Mukund Jagannathan.
#
Despite some challenges, the home situation was stable. My mother and my grandmother moved to an apartment next to my place and my father and brother regularly visit. I became one of the Trustees of our family trust and that means greater opportunity to help the community. I have also been involved in some consolidation of my finances so that I won't have to worry about money after 2024. I echo the sentiments of Jack Reacher in Gone Tomorrow (2009) — “I'm a rich man. To have everything you need is the definition of affluence.”
#
There are times when our family and friends perform an unexpected act of kindness that leaves us fumbling for words. My grandmother's younger sister, Smt. Shanti Rangarajan, aged 89, made a trip all the way from Chennai to Bangalore (with her daughter Deepta) to spend time with my mother on her 66th birthday, given that she was just recovering from her surgery and was home-bound.
Tumblr media
When I was in Mumbai earlier this year, I happened to ping my BMS College classmate Anshuman Borah, who emigrated to UK some years ago. He immediately wrote back saying that he was in Pune to sell his flat. I had been in Pune that very morning; distraught at having missed catching up with him, I called him up to berate him for not telling me earlier. He immediately said, "I'll come to Mumbai tomorrow. Just send me your location and I'll be there to pick you up." Sure enough, the next morning he took a taxi from Pune all the way to Mumbai just to meet me. We had a nice lunch and spent five or six hours before he took a taxi back to Pune. (And there were times in college when we have shared a jhal mudi costing Rs. 10 because we had run out of cash!)
Tumblr media
Anu and Chandra (technically my mother's generation but more like friends/cousins to me) generously offered me a carte blanche to pursue whatever projects I wish to, without fretting about the monetary implications. Their gesture has inspired me to work even more towards a larger cause, especially in the fields of culture, literature, music, and education, which are of common interest to us.
Prof. L V Shanthakumari has been a mentor-guru-adopted grandmother to me and many other friends. Earlier this year, she was visiting her younger son Sri Niranjana who lives across the town from her, in faraway Marathahalli. Our ancestral house in Halasuru is almost the mid-point between her house and her son's house, so I requested LVS madam to consider visiting us for lunch. She graciously agreed and visited us with Niranjana, who incidentally lived in the same neighbourhood many years earlier! My family and I were thrilled to host LVS madam and we spent a lovely afternoon together.
My cousin Arun was slated to visit India in August along with my aunt and uncle. I was planning to borrow my father's car so that I could take Arun around. Right at that time, my good friend Chandrashekhar told me, "I just bought a new car and there's the old one languishing in my place. Just take it and use it for as long as you want." Thanks to Chandru, I was able to drive around Arun and later had reliable transportation for myself, especially during some of the busy months of the year. After relying on public transport for more than a year, this came as a real boon.
#
My good friend Arjun Bharadwaj always teases me of excessively indulging in what he playfully dubs "Eating-Outing-Meeting." While I am an introvert by temperament, I often step out for these E-O-Ms for a dose of enrichment. Outside of my books and my music, I find nothing more enjoyable than a meaningful conversation with friends and savants.
It has been my great fortune to have come in contact with so many greats of our time—and in some cases, even dine with them and travel with them.
One of our Saturday morning meet-ups took place on Church Street with SRR taking us (Vighneshwar Bhat, Sandeep Balakrishna, Arjun Bharadwaj, and me) to Select Book Shop, which was started by a friend of his. Later he took us out to lunch and simply refused to let any of us pay.
Tumblr media
Ambi (my uncle, Dr. Koti Sreekrishna) visited India earlier this year and even stayed with me for a few days. I had a great time with him, discussing everything from the ridiculous to the sublime—often through the course of a meal in a nearby restaurant. I also had the chance to drag two of my friends (Arjun and GS) to meet Ambi and his elder brother Kanna (my uncle, Sri K Srinivas) at their ancestral house. The conversations, mostly revolving around the the great epics of India, were memorable (with some of it secretly captured on video and clandestinely posted on Facebook by Ambi).
Tumblr media
My cousin Arun visited India in August and stayed with me. It had been years since we had met and there was so much to talk about. It was really inspiring to see his focus and his ability to grasp new ideas. I introduced him to a bunch of my friends and we all had a memorable time. Cousin Anita could not visit and was sorely missed, but she had just had a baby (my second nephew, Jayanth).
Arjun and I visited Mysore to meet Dr. S L Bhyrappa, who graciously invited us to lunch with him. Following that, we proceeded to Pandavapura to meet Mr. Anke Gowda, who has the largest personal collection of books that I have seen (over 1 million books). We were thrilled to visit his library as he enthusiastically showed us around. He has been collecting books for some seven decades with his meagre salary, driven by intense passion and devotion to literature.
Tumblr media
Through the course of the year, in addition to the regular meet-ups with my friends, gurus, and family, I had the opportunity to meet a host of interesting people: Sri Prafulla Ketkar (Chief Editor, Organiser), Sri Shivaswami (Bhagavad-gītā scholar), Dr. Manohar Shinde (Founder, Dharma Civilization Foundation), Dr. Shekhar Borgaonkar (my father's college classmate and old friend), Dr. Kanniks Kannikeswaran (musician-composer-educator), and the dedicated people who run Rashtrotthana Vidya Kendra at Hagaribommanahalli, among others.
#
It is a co-incidence that the year began with a trip to Ellora and just as 2023 came to an end, during the course of our Madhya Pradesh road-trip, the first destination was Ellora. It was wonderful to visit that puṇya-kṣetra twice in a calendar year.
Tumblr media
In addition to visiting Solapur, Sambhajinagar, Pune, Mumbai, Karwar, and Chennai, I went to Valparai (Tamil Nadu) for our annual boys' trip, with more friends joining the fray:
Tumblr media
I spent the last days of the year on the road: traversing 3,800+ kilometres (Bangalore-Ellora-Maheshwar-Indore-Ujjain-Vidisha/Sanchi-Udayapur-Khajuraho-Bedaghat-Bangalore) in nine days with five of my friends and a shoe-string budget.
Tumblr media
Among the many highlights of the trip was visiting Ahalyabai Holkar Smarak at Maheshwar.
Tumblr media
To see her humble dwelling and to contrast that with her unparalleled achievements was an inspiration. These are the real heroes of our land and it is a sin to forget them.
#
Sri C R Sathya, the grandson of Prof. A R Krishnasastri and a remarkable space scientist (and writer) in his own right died earlier this year. He had been a great support during the time I co-translated The Essential Mahabharata. Not many people know that the gentleman on the right side of this iconic photo by Henri Cartier-Bresson is C R Sathya:
Tumblr media
A few other greats who breathed their last in 2023 include Sri Siddeshwar Swamiji; the great gamaki Sri Chandrashekar Kedilaya; Wayne Shorter, the legendary jazz saxophonist; Sri B K S Varma, the painter par excellence; and iconic filmmaker Sri K Viswanath. I had the great fortune of meeting and interacting with both B K S Varma and K Viswanath some years ago.
Tumblr media

The changes around us end up affecting us in some way, directly or indirectly, unless of course we are really cut off and have isolated ourselves from society. In this vein, it might be instructive to broadly look at some of the events from 2023.
India has marched forward under the visionary leadership of Sri Narendra Modi, who has never failed to impress with his tireless striving for a better future.
India is now the most populous country with a host of internal problems, largely fuelled by predatory ideologies, be it the clashes between the Kuki and the Meitei or the Nuh violence or even the denigration of Sanātana-dharma, which is the most inclusive religio-philosophical system in the world. Despite this and some of the self-inflicted wounds to the economy, the country witnessed the manner in which challenges were masterfully met, be it the organisation of the spectacular G20 or the rescue of 41 miners trapped in the Uttarakashi tunnel, be it seamlessly shifting to the new parliament building or sending Chandrayaan III to the moon.
After the demonic attack that took place on October 7th, 2023, the world is slowly realising the danger of the bloodthirsty death cult masquerading as a religion. More and more countries are rejecting the pseudo-liberal ideologies of the left and are instead moving far right, which is also dangerous in its own way. Coupled with this, we are unsure of the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the future of humans. And somewhere amidst all this chaos, unknown men are quietly doing their work. And that brings me a great deal of peace.

Thanks for reading this far, and with this I wish you and your family a wonderful new year! I hope it will be filled with joy, good health, prosperity, and moments to cherish. May your dreams come true!

I wish to share some of the fantastic accomplishments of a few people in my circle. It is, as always, an ad hoc list that I have prepared on the spur of the moment. I might have missed out some but those that I have listed are certainly notable:
Brahmin Genocide is an important topic researched by Sri Balaji Mahalingam (who writes under the pseudonym Asi) that brings to the fore an injustice that has pervaded our society in the last couple of centuries and must be immediately rectified if Hinduism is to survive. The first edition of the book was sold out in just a few months and he is now working on the second edition.
The seventh century CE Sanskrit play Bhagavad-ajjukam was documented by Nirupama and Rajendra with support from Sudha Murty, Śatāvadhānī Dr. R Ganesh, Praveen D Rao, Arjun Bharadwaj, et al.—see the Introduction and the complete play (with subtitles).
Bhāratīya Kṣāttra Paramparā (Hindi translation by Prof. Dharmaraj Singh Vaghela) Earlier this year, when the book Kṣāttra was released, I gave a copy of the book to my uncle Prof. Vaghela. The very next day, he called me and said that it is an important book which must reach the Hindi heartland and offered to translate it into Hindi. Dr. Ganesh immediately gave his consent. In a matter of months, he finished the translation, which is now appearing on www.prekshaa.in as a series and will soon be published in book form.
My good friend and former colleague Arjun Bharadwaj has come out with two remarkable books this year: the first, titled Nayana-Savana (co-written with Śatāvadhānī Dr. R Ganesh), which is a creative appreciation of some of the major productions of the legendary Dr. Padma Subrahmanyam and the second, titled Indian Perspective of Truth and Beauty in Homer’s Epics, which is worthy of a D.Litt. no less.
S R Ramaswamy's latest work titled Sāhitya Sānnihitya is an anthology of book reviews and writings on literature.
Saṃskṛti is a reprint of a charming little book on culture with essays by littérateurs including Devudu Narasimha Shastri, A N Murthy Rao, A N Krishna Rao, Masti Venkatesha Iyengar, and C K Venkataramayya.
Prekshaa Pratishtana has brought out a lovely introductory video that summarises its vision and objectives. They continue to publish many books every year and maintain an ad-free online journal (www.prekshaa.in) with authentic content on Indian heritage for one and all.
My cousin Arun Prasad continues to do remarkable work with Ambuda, the online digital library for Sanskrit.
The best of Śatāvadhānī Dr. R Ganesh's writings in Kannada have been compiled in two volumes with the title Rāga-bhāratī.
Dr. G Sudesh Kumar, a close family friend, recently authored a coffee-table book titled History of Sri Parakala Mutt.

Today, we celebrate the birthday of a legendary figure in Indian music, Bappi Lahiri (born Alokesh Aparesh Lahiri), who was born on this day in 1952. Fondly known as Bappida, his legacy as a singer, composer, and record producer has left an indelible mark on the Indian music industry.
Bappi Lahiri was a trailblazer, known for changing the Indian music scene with his unique blend of synthesised disco music. His work in the 1980s and 1990s, particularly with film soundtracks, captured the hearts of audiences not just in Hindi cinema but Kannada films. His ability to merge Indian music with international sounds created a new wave of youthful, upbeat rhythms that resonated with listeners across generations.
In 1986, Bappi Lahiri's extraordinary talent was recognized by the Guinness World Records for an incredible feat: recording more than 180 songs in a single year. This achievement highlights his unparalleled dedication and passion for music.
His compositions for films like "Disco Dancer," "Namak Halaal," and "Sharaabi" are still celebrated today, known for their disco-style songs that brought a new energy to Indian cinema. Yet, Bappi Lahiri was not limited to disco beats alone; his repertoire includes a range of melodious songs from movies such as "Chalte Chalte" and "Zakhmee," showcasing his versatility as a musician.
Today, as we remember Bappi Lahiri on his birthday, we celebrate his extraordinary contributions to music and his enduring legacy that continues to inspire and entertain audiences around the world. Happy Birthday, Bappi Lahiri - your music continues to live in our hearts.

The verb “to come” in Telugu
వచ్చు vattsu “to come” is an irregular verb in Telugu and here I will explain all its irregularities. Examples in modern Telugu will be given, as well as the historical reasons why it is like this. The historical data will be traced back to Proto-Dravidian, with comparative data given in other Dravidian languages. The comparative data will be taken from the Dravidian etymological dictionary (DED), with extra info added as needed.
As a learner of Telugu, I assume other learners are reading this, so first I will give all the forms of vattsu in its tenses, as well as participle forms. Firstly, the conjugation of “to come” in all tenses. From left to right: past, future/ non-past, present continuous.
నేను nēnu "I" - వచ్ఛాను vacchæːnu - వస్తాను vastānu - వస్తున్నాను vastunnānu
నువ్వు nuvvu "thou/ you" - వచ్ఛావు vacchæːvu - వస్తావు vastāvu - వస్తున్నావు vastunnāvu
వాడు vāɖu "he" - వచ్ఛాడు vacchæːɖu - వస్తాడు vastāɖu - వస్తున్నాడు vastunnāɖu
అది adi "she, it" - వచ్చింది vacchindi - వస్తుంది vastundi - వస్తున్నది vastunnadi
మేము mēmu/ మనము manamu "we" - వచ్ఛాము vacchæːmu - వస్తాము vastāmu - వస్తున్నాము vastunnāmu
మీరు mīru "you"/ వారు vāru "they" - వచ్ఛారు vacchæːru - వస్తారు vastāru - వస్తున్నారు vastunnāru
అవి avi "they" - వచ్ఛాయి vacchæːyi - వస్తాయి vastāyi - వస్తున్నాయి vastunnāyi
Negative tenses
The simple non-past negative, which can also be used for future, conjugates for all persons.
నేను nēnu "I" - రాను rānu
నువ్వు nuvvu "thou/ you" - రావు rāvu
వాడు vāɖu "he" - రాడు rāɖu
అది adi "she, it" - రాదు rādu
మేము mēmu/ మనము manamu "we" - రాము rāmu
మీరు mīru "you"/ వారు vāru "they" - రారు rāru
అవి avi "they" - రావు rāvu
The past negative is రాలేదు rālēdu "did not come" and it applies to all pronouns. Similarly, the negative continuous is రావటంలేదు rāvaʈamlēdu "is not coming".
The imperative is used when giving orders or requests. It is as follows:
రా rā (singular), రాండి~ రండి ra(a)ɳɖi (plural) “come”
negative imp. - రాకు rāku (singular), రాకంది rākaɳɖi (plural) “do not come”
“vattsu” is the dictionary form but it takes the form రా rā in some contexts. In Telugu, the root came from *var-cc-, with *-cc- being a past tense suffix (Krishnamurti, 2003, p. 298). The suffix is also attached to verbs ending in -yu in the past tense; చేశాను cēśæːnu "I did", వ్రాశాను vrāśæːnu "I wrote". Which is why the suffix does not feature in non-past tenses, like రా rā (imperative, infinitive), రాను (negative) "I will/do not come", రాలేదు rālēdu (past negative, made with infinitive +lēdu) "did not come", as they came from *var-a.
Now that the forms of the verb have been established, I will go over more of the linguistic details. Firstly, I took the entry from the DED and enhanced it with adding the scripts of each language, along with Proto-Dravidian info where found.
DED 5270 *vaH-r- "to come" > Ta. வா vā, வரு- varu-, Ma. വരിക varika, Ka. ಬರ್ bar, Te. వచ్చు vaccu, Go. waiānā, Kui vāva
This is because Telugu undergoes a rule of CVCV > CCVV, though it mainly applies when the second consonant turns to -r-. And in modern Telugu, for most words the consonant clusters are simplified so the -r- just disappears, unless it is vr- which becomes r-. More examples below:
DED 5372 "to live", *vāʐ > Ta. வாழ் vāʐ, Ma. വാഴുക vāʐuka, Ka. ಬಾಳು bāɭu, ಬದುಕು baduku, OKa. ಬೞ್ದುಂಕು baʐdunku, Te. బ్రతుకు bratuku "to live, life" (I think the Telugu word is a Kannada borrowing as v- > b- is a Kannada sound change, not Telugu)
DED 5263 *vari- > Ta. வரி vari-, வரை varai- "to draw", Te. వ్రాయు~ రాయు (v)rāyu "to write", Go. rasāna "writer", Kui vrīsa scratch, mark
DED 2149 *koʐ-V "tender, young” > Ta. கொழுந்து koʐuntu "tender twigs, leaves, shoots", கொழுமை koʐumai "beauty, fertility, plumpness", Ka. ಕೊಡ koɖa tender, Te. క్రొత్త~ కొత్త k(r)otta "new", Go. kōɽsānā to sprout, grow, Kui koɽgi newly sprouted, green, immature
Examples of VCV > CVV
DED 2559 *cil "not" > Ta. இல்லை illai "no", Ka. ಇಲ್ಲ illa "no, does not exist, there is not", Te. లే- lē "is not", లేదు lēdu "no", Go. sile, hill- "not be", Kui siɖa
DED 474 *ira-ɳʈ 2 > Ta. இரண்டு iraɳʈu, Ma. രണ്ടു raɳʈu, Ka. ಎರಡು eraɖu, Te. రెండు reɳɖu, Go. ranɖ(u), Kui rī
DED 502 *iʐi- "to descend" > Ta. இழி iʐi, Ma. ഇഴിക iʐika, Ka. ಇಳಿ iɭi, Te. ɖigu, Go. ḍigānā, Kui dīva
I added Gondi and Kui data since they are in the same branch as Telugu but so far I am inconclusive about the sound changes in them. I have not studied any Dravidian language apart from Telugu to be confident about saying things about them. Languages used:
South Dravidian
Ta. - Tamil
Ma. - Malayalam
Ka. - Kannada
South-Central Dravidian aka South Dravidian II
Te. - Telugu
Go. - Gondi
Kui
Notes
I used just “v” for the Proto-Dravidian and modern languages. It does get annoying that different books alternate v vs w, but I settled on using v. And they are supposed to make the same sound anyways, so it does not really matter.
The consonants ḻ, r̤, ẓ, which I wrote as ʐ correspond to the consonants in Tamil ழ, Malayalam ഴ, Old Kannada ೞ. Different sources write these in different ways, so I just wrote what aesthetically satisfies me.

A Good day starts with Good FOOD!
Right, isn't it? People start their day with their morning breakfast, there arises the topic of whether the day is fine or not. Nobody wants their day without food, as we people are rushing our day only for this. Food is the only thing that every living creature lives in this world wants. It is the only thing that has no discrimination on gender, birth, age, place, rich or poor, upper/lower class, Good/bad, and what else, there is no sincere love than the love towards food. But there will be a special love for regional foods as well. Being an Indian, probably, most of the people even outside India will have the desire to taste South Indian Foods as it has the versatility of its style.
Let's take a look at South Indian Foods
The food varieties with a special culinary style of tradition, special rituals, the culture of serving, exclusive history for various dishes, healthy ingredients, and much more. South Indian foods hold the top position in this. These foods are a combination of Andhra style, Malabar style, Chettinad style, and Kannada style recipes. Most traditional of these are Kali, Keppai, Ditch millet, and Ragi tiffin etc., These are the common foods usually preferred by Indian people during the 60s and 70s. Even today, these are the main foods in some of the regions like rural villages, tribal areas, and hilly areas.
Little Bite on Health Concern
In Today's lifestyle, it is hard to believe that people live for more than 70 years. But our great-grandparents and grandparents would have lived for so many years like 80 to 90 years… Right? How come they could be so? Only Because of these healthy South Indian foods. They lived true to the words "Food is the greatest medicine ever". This is one of the best examples to prove that food varieties made in South Indian style are among the world's healthiest and tastiest as well.
Food TODAY!
Since the 1980s, people from different countries wishes to explore new varieties of different origins and different cultures. Nowadays, it is common in India that people wanted to try new styles of recipes and unique styles of preparation. For example, Let's take a popular dish 'Biryani', as it has various styles of preparation like Andhra style biryani, Malabar biryani, Hyderabadi biryani, Dum biryani, Awadhi biryani, Ambur biryani, Thalassery biryani, Beary biryani, etc. Even Rice choices also there for Biryani preparation such as basmati, Seeraga samba, Jeerakasala/Kaima, and so on. Visit our website www.pasiout.com to explore more varieties.
So, Every person will have their own choice and love for their favorite style of preparation. Even, vegetarian people also wanted to try new recipes in South Indian foods. Different restaurants like multicuisine, Chettinad, and pure veg have their menu in Vegetarian as equal to Non-vegetarian dishes. Thus, we could say that the mindset of people keeps on engaging in new recipes.
