After eight years, Indiranagar road renamed after a legend

KareemKhanMPO08sept2014

After a delay of eight years, the 100-foot Road in Indiranagar was renamed after folklore expert and freedom fighter S.K. Kareem Khan on Sunday.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, while recollecting the contribution of Kareem Khan, said he was a multifaceted personality who refused to take the government pension given to freedom fighters. “He was a towering personality who rose above caste, creed and religion.”

Posters

A large section of the road was dotted with huge banners and posters featuring the dignitaries invited for the renaming ceremony. At the 12th Main junction, posters and banners had covered every little space.

Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials conceded that permission was not granted to any person, organisation or political party to put up the hoardings.

The BBMP has been claiming for the past few weeks to have launched a drive to remove illegal publicity materials after the Upalokayukta lambasted the civic body over this. Till August 21 — the deadline fixed for the removal of flexes, banners, buntings and posters — the BBMP had removed 14,720 illegal publicity materials across the city.

However, with the BBMP citing pressure from politicians and shortage of personnel, the Upalokayukta has given the civic body three months to rid the city of all illegal publicity materials. Officials have been directed to submit an action-taken report every month.

‘Institute award’

Kannada Chaluvali Vatal Paksha leader Vatal Nagaraj urged the government to institute an award after Kareem Khan with a purse of Rs. 5 lakh. He also drew the attention of Mr. Siddaramaiah to the plight of Kannadigas in Talavadi, a border village, and urged him to speak to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on the matter.

Dist. Minister to inaugrate Open Air Auditorium at Ganabharathi

Intro: Mysore District In-charge Minister V. Sreenivasa Prasad will inaugurate the “Smt. Ramabai Govinda Rao Open Air Auditorium” at Ganabharathi premises in Kuvempunagar on Sunday, 7th September at 10 am. The foundation stone for this Auditorium, built in memory of Smt. Ramabai Govinda Rao, the mother of Industrialist M. Jagannath Shenoy of Mangalore Ganesh Beedi Works, was laid on August 11, 2013, by Shenoy himself. On the occasion, donor Jagannath Shenoy and danseuse Dr. Vasundhara Doraswamy will be felicitated. MP Pratap Simha, MLA M.K. Somashekar, MLC G. Madhusudhan and Corporator K.V. Mallesh will be the guests of honour. Ganabharathi President Dr. C.G. Narasimhan will preside. To mark the event, a souvenir titled Rangabharathi will also be released. Here we publish an article to trace the 35-year-long journey of Ganabharathi…

It was thirty-five years ago that Ganabharathi was founded in Mysore, the Cultural Capital of Karnataka, for the promotion of Performing Arts. In these long years, many connoisseurs of art and culture from different walks of life have given their wholehearted support both in cash and in kind towards this end.

For an institution to establish its identity and carry on its objectives without hindrance it needs a permanent place of its own. With this in mind, a suitable site was acquired by Ganabharathi in 1980. In due course the now familiar landmark of Kuvempunagar, Veene Seshanna Bhavana, named after the legendary veena maestro of Mysore, Veene Seshanna (1852-1926) rose in that location and was inaugurated on Oct. 26, 1991. The Bhavana has an acoustically treated auditorium with a seating capacity of 250. Soon sound system, emergency power generator and such other facilities were added. Ganabharathi also started a School of Music and Dance in 1992.

Every year Ganabharathi conducts nearly 50 programmes of music, dance, drama, yakshagana etc., at Veene Seshanna Bhavana in addition to a number of cultural events by different cultural organisations and scores of schools of Mysore.

In recent times a need for an additional auditorium was felt in view of increasing demand and it was resolved to put to use the space adjacent to the Bhavana by constructing an Open Air Auditorium. Thanks to M. Jagannath Shenoy, the philanthropist, connoisseur of art and renowned industrialist of Mysore, who provided financial support for the construction of the Auditorium. The tender for the same was awarded to K.C. Nanda Kumar, the renowned building contractor of Mysore. M.S. Vijayashankar, the Architect of the entire project, provided his services without accepting any fee.

In addition to the contribution from Jagannath Shenoy, several other philanthropists of Mysore too have contributed generously towards various works connected with the project such as paving the foreground with interlocking tiles, building a bridge to establish connection with the existing road, providing sound and lighting arrangements, stage props, electrification etc. Among others, MLC G. Madhusudan, Dr. M.S. Bhaskar, Dr. Pundalik Herle, Dr. K. Subrahmanya, Kaveribai, H.V. Rajeev, Nagesh Rao, D.T. Prakash and art patron K.V. Murthy deserve special mention in this connection. H. Janardhan (Janni), Director of Rangayana, gave useful suggestions for design of the stage and stage props.

Ganabharathi has expressed its gratitude to all those who have provided invaluable support both in cash and kind for the implementation of this project

CM to inaugrate Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Sarada Vilas Law College on Sept. 5

Intro: Chief Minister Siddharamaiah will inaugurate the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of Sarada Vilas Law College, Krishnamurthypuram, at a function organised at the Sarada Vilas Centenary Hall at 3 pm on Sept. 5. District In-charge Minister V. Sreenivasa Prasad will preside. PWD Minister Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa, Mysore-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha, Thoothukudi MP Jayasingh Thiyagaraj Natterjee will be the chief guests on the occasion.

A brief history of Sarada Vilas Educational Institutions

A little more than 150 years ago, in 1861 to be precise, a new star took its birth in the educational realm of the then State of Mysore. It was founded by Rao Bahadur Bhakshi Narasappa, who enjoyed the confidence of the then King Sri Mummadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar. It was named Sarada Vilas Anglo-Sanskrit Pathashala and was housed inside the premises of a Palace temple. Sri Mummadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar and Bhakshi Narasappa, both visionaries in their own right, worked in perfect tandem and sowed the seed of education. The Pathashala had the credit of being the first private school in Mysore State. Though just twenty students joined the school in its first year, it grew from strength to strength as a result of which the number of students increased very quickly. Naturally space available for the school inside the temple was not enough. Bhakshi Narasappa, the selfless citizen that he was, volunteered to shift the school to his own building which was popularly called Bhakshi Narasappa Choultry at Makkaji Chowk. Sir K. Seshadri Iyer, the then Dewan of Mysore, was very generous in providing financial assistance to the school. In spite of the Dewan’s munificence, the school found itself in a tight spot owing to the demise of Bhakshi Narasappa and the resignation of Head Master Mandikal Ramasastri.

With a view to overcome all administrative and financial problems, the Government of Mysore set up a Committee of men of high eminence in the year 1899. The Honorary Secretary of this Committee was M. Venkatakrishnaiah, affectionately called as ‘Tataiah’ by young and old alike. He was committed to the cause of education and took upon himself the responsibility of strengthening the school. The year 1899 thus became a major turning point in the evolution of the Institution. Tataiah saw to it that the school turned itself into a model school. More and more students joined the school and once again the constraint of space became an acute problem. Fortunately, the King of Mysore rushed to the rescue and permitted the school to use the first floor of the Lansdowne Building. Tataiah recognised the need for a high school, strived hard in that direction and founded the Boys High School in 1919. He had a strong desire to house the school in its own building and succeeded in getting a sprawling campus in Krishnamurthypuram. Soon the High School was shifted to a new building in this area. Tataiah worked with utmost honesty and conviction and rendered yeomen service to the school as the Hon. Secretary of the Committee till his demise in1933.

The legacy of Tataiah was carried forward by another equally distinguished Mysorean, M.S. Ramaswamy. He took over Tataiah’s mantle and transformed his vision into reality. S. Ramarao, who took charge as the Hon. Secretary following Tataiah’s demise, put his best efforts to take the Institutions to greater heights.

M.S. Ramaswamy, like his mentor Tataiah, had very big dreams. He took initiative, obtained the approval of the Government and founded the Intermediate College in 1945. He continued his hard work and was responsible for starting the Degree College in 1952. He served the College as Principal for 20 years – 1945 to 1965 – and laid solid foundation for College Education.

The Management of Sarada Vilas Educational Institutions was desirous of serving the society in many other ways in the field of education. In 1954, Sarada Vilas Law College, only the second Law College in the State at that time, came into existence. Likewise, Sarada Vilas Teachers College was started in 1963 and Sarada Vilas College of Pharmacy in1992.

Another milestone in the annals of Sarada Vilas Educational Institutions (SVEI) is the establishment of Sarada Vilas Girls High School in 1961. The Management of SVEI started Pre-Primary and Higher Primary School in 1992.

The objective of SVEI has always been to give quality education at an affordable cost to all sections of society. The Management hopes to offer PG courses in pure sciences like Applied Sciences and Law.

—B .S. Parthasarathy, President, SVEI.

Fashion treat in city

Designer Rocky S with actress Evelyn Sharma
Designer Rocky S with actress Evelyn Sharma

Mysore Fashion Week-2014 to feature 14 of country’s top designers starting with Rocky S. Actors Mugdha Godse, Gauhar Khan, Nidhi Subbaiah, Priyamani and model Muzammil will be the show stoppers.

C. Krishniah Chetty & Sons, the famed Jewelleres along with Mysore’s Sound and Light specialists Rock Salad, will be presenting the first ever edition of Mysore Fashion Week (MFW) from Sept. 5 to 7 at Country Inn & Suites, Mysore.

Directed by Jayanthi Ballal of Needle Works and Snehal Igoor of Creative Studio in Mysore, MFW 2014 moves beyond just Fashion Show and more into design aspect of fashion by featuring for the first time in Mysore 14 of the fashion industry’s biggest designers. The clothes will be modelled by 24 of the top female models in the country along with celebrity show-stoppers from Bollywood and South Indian film industries.

The fashion designers who will be showcasing their collections are:

Rocky S, who has designed for celebrities like Katrina Kaif and Priyanka. Then there is Aslam Khan, the popular Designer from Delhi whose designes represent the fine art of tailoring, fascinating pin tucks, piping, cuts and frills.

The show will also have Ashok Maanay, a designer known for his drawing strengths and inspiration from India’s rich traditions. Ashok Maanay’s designs are a breathtaking amalgamation of intricate hand embroidery and karigari. There is Ramesh Dembla, who is also a celebrity designer for actors such as Sudeep and Raagini.

The Mysore Fashion Week will also feature Reshma Kunhi, a designer who was quoted in Femina magazine as “Generation Next Designer.” Since then she too has become a favourite for celebrities.

The other young design talent is Sagar Tenali, who has been termed as one of the brightest stars in the Southern Fashion Industry.

Also presenting will be Bangalore’s foremost fashion designer Anil Hosmani, who has his own label ‘IHITA.’ Then there is Roohafza, who studied finance, but transformed into a designer by passion. She specialises in ethnic and bridal wear. She has also established her own brands called Mysore Silk Udyog, as she wanted to bring Mysore silk on the Indian map.

While the show may be in Mysore, Roshan, who won the Bangalore’s Young Stylish Designer award, is all set to introduce Mysore to his fashion. He designs for both men and women, everything from bridal wear to casual smart. Finally, there is Sumit Dasgupta — a designer who came into fashion because it was his passion. He studied fashion designing at National Institute Kolkata and has Master’s in Fine Arts from Chandigarh. He launched his first collection at the Kolkata Fashion Week in 2008.

It may be a Fashion Week but it’s incomplete without the glorious sprinkle of make-up and to do that Robert, one of the most sought after make-up artist and stylist across the country, will be part of the event. Robert has been the official styling director of Bangalore Fashion Week and has worked with many renowned choreographers.

Of course, no Fashion Week is complete without a show-stopper and Mysore Fashion Week will have a few — some of them being Gauhar Khan, Nidhi Subbaiah, Bhavana Rao, Mugdha Godse, Muzammil, Priyamani and Raagini Dwivedi.

Dharwad consultant only Indian doctor on anti-doping team

Hubli :

Here’s another feather in the cap of the twin cities. A consultant in sports medicine from Dharwad will be the only medical officer from India to represent the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the governing body of Asian football and one of the six confederations making up FIFA, at its under-16 championship to be held in Thailand from September 6-21.

Dr Kiran Kulkarni, 42, who has won the pride of place, says he will be only the sports doctor from the country in the contingent of AFC, which has its headquarters in Malaysia. “I will oversee medical matters and MRIs for age determination as well as implement the anti-doping programme in the tournament.”

He said 16 Asian countries will participate in the tournament. “I will have to monitor the medical staff and doctors from these countries to ensure that there are no doping cases during the course of the tournament.”

Kulkarni, however, is hopeful that allegations of doping will not tarnish the game. Compared to other games, there are very few incidents of doping among players, he claims. “Over the last two to three decades, few complaints of doping have come to light.” He recalls Argentinean midfielder Diego Maradona testing positive for doping as one of the few cases in football’s history.

During AFC’s tournament, doping tests will be conducted at random on about two players from different countries during matches. If players whose urine samples test positive for the presence of a substance used for doping claim innocence, then B-sample tests will be conducted. These samples will be sent to the International Olympic Committee’s laboratory.

If these test positive as well, then the players face jail time. Such players face punishment from six months to two years in jail.

Kulkarni says the team of %medical doctors at the tournament will work to ensure that all things go as planned with regard to medical amenities. “There is a possibility that in the under-16 tournament, the ages of some players vary. To ascertain that players are under the age of 16, an MRI age verification test will be conducted on each player.”

Ganappa not the only star of the show

Hubli :

Who says Ganesha Chaturthi festivities are only about Bappa? The stars of the show during this year’s celebrations in the city will be theme-based tableaux.

Several mandals in Hubli have taken to the idea giving a touch of history, mythology, culture, social awareness and spirituality to their processions. Tableaux on the Mysore Dasara celebrations, the birth of Draupadi as depicted in the Mahabharata, the Mahalaxmi temple in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, and the life of the Siddharudh swami, a mystic of the Advaita Vedanta stream widely regarded as one of the greatest saints of Hinduism, are expected to draw a large number of visitors.

Organizers of the Sri Varasiddhi Vinayak Mandali at Sheelavantar Oni have become more resourceful. They plan to have a tableau on the Mysore Dasara Jumboo Savari carrying Ganesha and Chamundi idols inaugurated by a statue of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It’s not banking on the Dasara tableau alone to grab eyeballs. During a 5-minute-long show, tableaux on the bravery of freedom fighter Kittur Rani Chennamma and Onake Obavva, who had fought the forces of Hyder Ali single-handedly with a pestle (onake) in Chitradurga, on lifestyles and cultures of villages, and on national leaders led by a depiction of Bharat Mata will enthral audiences, says mandal designer Bahubali Umachagi.

Sri Ganeshotsav Mandali in Durgadbail is giving final touches to a replica of the Chennakesava temple in Belur. While its facade bears resemblance to the temple, its interiors give the feel of being inside a palace. A three-minute-long show on the birth of Draupadi, the daughter of king Drupada will be performed here, says Kishor Hanumasagar, vice president of the mandal.

The Ganesha idol installing committee of Boospeth will present a performance on the life of Siddharudha Swami. Sri Maruti Yuvaka Seva Sangha is hoping that those who wish to visit the famous Mahalaxmi temple in Kolhapur can tick it off their bucket list by seeing a replica of the temple at Simpli Galli. Raghavendra Bhat, president of the Sangha, says devotees can get darshans of a 7.5-ft tall idol %of goddess Mahalaxmi. %Later, silver idol of %Ganesha weighing 55kg will be presented before the audience, he adds.

Star this week : Talented cricketer : K.B. PAWAN

PawanBF05sept2014

Cricket is a very popular game in our country and Mysore has been from time to time producing talented players who have gone to represent State and Country. City’s talented cricketer K.B. Pawan hogged the limelight in the ongoing Karbonn Smart KPL by scoring the first fifty of the tournament and earned Man of the Match for his excellent batting performance for Mysore Warriors against Hubli Tigers in the match played on Friday. He is our ‘Star This Week.’

Pawan has represented Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy and has played 43 first-class matches for Karnataka, scoring 2622 runs at an average of 38, but in 2012-13, he got only four games for Karnataka and shifted to Tripura and played for them for a season. Pawan had moved to Tripura before the 2013-14 season after Karnataka preferred other openers ahead of him.

He is back in Karnataka and will be available for selection for the Karnataka team for this season. Recently, taking part in the All India Tournament conducted by KSCA, Pawan continued his good form with the willow by bagging Man of the Match for his stroke-filled 50 for Mysore Warriors against Hubli Tigers in the opening game for their team.

Opening the batting with South-paw Shishir Bhavane 31 (41m, 23b, 2x4s, 2x6s), Pawan batted freely and took heavy toll of Hubli Tigers bowlers and scored a well compiled 50 (58m, 39b, 6x4s, 1x6s). Pawan and Bhawane gave their team the required start and added 74-runs for the opening wicket in 8.4 overs. Later on his team went on to post a total of 164 for four in 20 overs and in reply, Hubli Tigers were restricted to 133 for nine in 20 overs.

Hope this talented youngster from our city continues his good form with the willow and play well in the remaining matches for his team — Mysore warriors and in the days to come makes a come-back into the Karnataka team based on his performance.
