Bengaluru team conquers English Channel in 14 hours

Records, All, Sports, World Opinion

Bengaluru :

Until six years ago, Rajan Srinivasan, the 47-year-old vice-president of British Telecom, didn’t know how to swim. On Wednesday evening, as he stood at the White Cliffs of Dover, he felt a deep sense of accomplishment. It wasn’t without reason. Srinivasan was part of a team from Bengaluru that crossed the English Channel.

The Swimlife Seagulls, an eight-member team led by coach M Satish Kumar, crossed the 63km distance (they took the longer route because of high tide) in 14 hours and six minutes. What sets the team apart from other swimmers is the diversity. Homemaker Suman Singhi was the lone woman in the team, entrepreneur Tejas M Sati was the youngest at 34 and 67-year-old Mohan Sawkar, a lawyer practising at the Karnataka High Court, was the oldest.

It was Srikaanth Viswanathan, an engineer, who mooted the idea in July last year. And the team began its training soon.

Preparations took them to Kodi Beach in Kundapur and Calangute in Goa. In March this year, they did a trial swim, crossing the 40-km stretch from Khanderi to Gateway of India, Mumbai. The team, which landed in Dover on August 28, initially planned to cross the Channel on September 11, but when the window to accomplish their mission came up on Wednesday, they took up the challenge after three days of practice. They began their arduous journey at 2 am.

“It’s a great feeling to have crossed the Channel,” Satish told TOI from Dover. “It’s special because most of the members initially started swimming for health reasons and to overcome their fears. But through the past year, our goal was crossing the English Channel. We had to overcome many challenges, sea sickness being the biggest. We were not used to the temperature, 14 degrees Celsius. Each of us feels we have accomplished something.”

While the actual distance is 32km, the Seagulls had to cover 63km because of high tide. Each person swam for an hour at a stretch before the next one took over. “It is an over-the-moon feeling,” said an elated Suman. “I began to swim to battle high blood sugar and cholesterol. I never thought I would conquer the Channel and my ailments.”

Still in celebratory mode, the team is game for the challenge one more time.

At 110, man gets back his vision

Amazing Feats, Inspiration/ Positive News and Features, Science & Technology

Bengaluru :

At the ripe age of 110, Muniyappa is brimming with life. Unlike his peers, he’s not dependent on others. However, a couple of months ago, he began to complain of impaired vision.

Muniyappa and his 90-year old wife Nanjamma underwent cataract surgeries on the same day.
Muniyappa and his 90-year old wife Nanjamma underwent cataract surgeries on the same day.

Reason: Cataract, a common eye ailment among the elderly . But thanks to a surgery he underwent recently , the supercentenarian has regained his eyesight.

Old age may mean befriending a walking stick and getting used to blurred vision. However, many have got their sight back in their 90s, because of advancement in medical science.

Muniyappa, who underwent the cataract surgery at St John’s Hospital, is not alone. At Sankara Eye Hospital, over 24 patients aged above 90 have been operated upon since 2013. Most recently, a 91-year-old male patient underwent a surgery to correct a retinal disorder on August 13. Doctors say complications are more when it comes to geriatric patients.

About a year ago, Muniyappa underwent an angioplasty . All was well till cataract clouded his lens and led to blurred vision. Doctors suggested an operation.”With age, the risk increases. He was on blood thinners, so performing the surgery was even tougher, said Dr Mary Varghese, head, vitreo-retinal surgery and associate professor, St John’s Medical College.

An experienced surgeon, she recalled the tense moments she had in the operation theatre. “Since he’d suffered from cardiac ailments in the past, we couldn’t stop him from taking blood thinners. They prevent blood from clotting, which can lead to bleeding during surgery . I was very careful while operating on him. After it was over, I heaved a sigh of relief,” she said.

Muniyappa’s son Krishnamma M told TOI he is able to see clearly . “He has been asked to wear protective glasses,” he said. Muniyappa’s wife Nanjamma, 90, too underwent the same surgery on the same day .

Of the patients operated upon at Sankara Eye Hospital, most suffered from age-related disorders; cataract being the majority (50%), said Dr Kaushik Murali, president, medical administration, qual ity and education. “Other conditions included age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), lid anomalies and tearing and glaucoma,” he said.

Dr Rohit Shetty, vice-chairman, Narayana Nethralaya, recalled operating on a 100-year-old woman in 2005. The team has to factor in aspects like age. “There are chances of dryness and a delayed healing.Complications like bleeding and haemorrhage may also happen,” he said.

Driver Mohana is now Dr. Mohana

Education, Inspiration/ Positive News and Features

MohanaBF01sept2015

Mysuru :

There are many who despite having access to best of the facilities fail to make use of the same in pursuing their education. But, there are also people who make use of the limited access to excel in education and achieve their goal. One such person is 37-year-old H.M. Mohana, a KSRTC driver-cum-conductor.

Mohana has been considered by the University of Mysore for the award of Ph.D in History for his thesis ‘Hoysala Raja Santhathiya Avanathi: Ondu Adhyayana (1000-1336 AD),’ submitted in Kannada under the guidance of Dr. N. Saraswathi, which has brought smiles on the faces of his family members, relatives and friends. Having completed his High School and PU education at his native Harohalli in Mandya district, Mohana shifted to Mysuru to pursue his graduation. However, he could clear the backlog and emerge as a graduate from Maharaja’s College only in 2009, three years after joining the KSRTC service in 2006.

He later completed his MA (History) from KSOU and enrolled for Ph.D in 2012. Mohana submitted his thesis on Dec. 17, 2014 and was confirmed by the University for being considered for the award of Ph.D on Aug. 20, 2015.

Speaking to SOM, Mohana said that the subject he chose for his Ph.D was on the Hoysala dynasty which had the courage to fight against Delhi Sultanate but was destroyed due to internal quarrel.

Mohana, who works at Vijayanagar bus depot in 8-hour shift, says that he spent most of his free hours at the Manasagangotri Library, Maharaja College Library, Prasaranga Library, collecting information for his thesis. He has thanked the senior officials at the KSRTC for supporting him in his endeavour to pursue Ph.D. He has also cleared his K-SET exams and is looking forward to appear for UGC-NET exam.

“I have applied for the Assistant Professor’s post called by the Karnataka Examination Authority for which the Authority is yet to conduct the exam. Taking no chances, I have been preparing for the same as the examinations can be held anytime,” he added. Mohana’s father late K.S. Mukunda was a ‘D’ group employee at Taluk Agriculture Produce Marketing Board in Pandavapura. Married to M.K. Pavithra on June 8, 2015, Mohana resides with mother H.L. Mahadevamma and wife at Vinayakanagar (Paduvarahalli) in city.

It may be recalled, in yet another commendable achievement, M. Lingaraja, Traffic Police Constable at Devaraja Traffic Police Station, too had received Ph.D in Economics for his thesis ‘Gandhiji’s concept of self-reliance and role of Self Help Groups in empowerment of women’ from the UoM early this year. (Refer SOM dated Jan.3, 2015).

Work on 250 paintings from Venkatappa Art Gallery and Government Museum to be taken up first.

Hundreds of heritage paintings, some more than 300 years old, at Bengaluru’s Venkatappa Art Gallery and the Government Museum will be restored to their former glory.

Officials have sought the advice of art consultants to consider the 17th and 18th century museum collections for conservation. Of the 750 paintings in the gallery and the museum, at least one-third, which were sourced nearly 60 years ago for the collections, have considerably faded, aged and even damaged.

“Around 250 paintings from the gallery and museum will be taken up for conservation to restore their glory and extend longevity. Professionals from INTACH Chitrakala Parishath Art Conservation Centre (ICKPAC) made an initial study and submitted a status report with details of conservation,” said C.G. Betsurmath, Commissioner, Department of State Archaeology, Museums and Heritage.

The works selected include drawings, paintings, ivory and plaster of Paris works of artist K. Venkatappa, who was court painter of the then Mysore royals, Mysore and Thanjavur art works, Deccani and Rajput paintings, Rajasthani miniatures of Malwa, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Bundi and Mewar, Rajasthani paintings on cloth, the deft brushes of Bundelkhand, the distinctive Basohli paintings of Jammu and Kashmir, the pictorial art of Kangra in Himachal Pradesh, original oil on canvas Malva painting, the Sikh paintings of Punjab, the South Asian Mughal works and Persian miniatures.

In 2014–15, Rs. 17 lakh was approved for protection of the paintings. “We are getting the amount sanctioned again for this financial year for going ahead with the ICKPAC’s remedy suggestions. The total cost is yet to be finalised as the work will be taken up in phases,” he said.

Though delayed, H.T. Talwar, Director, Archaeology, Museums and Heritage Department, said the conservation efforts would take off soon.

This will be the first time these old paintings will be refurbished. On the importance of the paintings, Mr. Talwar said, “Our gallery and museum boast nearly 15 celebrated painting styles that have adorned the royal palaces of India.”

Artworks to be restored include

‘Epic Ramayana’ done in Mysore style on a 7ft X 7ft canvas with 41 depictions of the Ramayana

Rare Krishna-Rukmini series playing Pagade (game of dice) in the darbar

Portraits of Krishnaraja Wadiyar and his son-in-law Lingaraja Urs.

QUOTES: 

C.G. Bethsurmath, Commissioner, Department of State Archaeology, Museums and Heritage: Nearly 250 paintings from the Venkatappa Art Gallery and the Government Museum are going to be taken up for conservation soon.

H.T. Talwar, Director, Archaeology, Museums and Heritage Department: These heritage-value paintings are precious, as they are priceless, only that they are placed without much fanfare at the museum and gallery.

Madhu Rani K.P., Director, ICKPAC: We have examined in situ 72 paintings and 17 prints at the museum, 32 art objects of Mysore and Thanjavur paintings at the gallery, including some of the best works of painter K. Venkatappa, and suggested conservation remedies that would take nearly 15 months.

Time and human negligence have taken a toll: ICKPAC

The INTACH Chitrakala Parishath Art Conservation Centre (ICKPAC), which has done the initial study on these artworks, says the paintings of historical significance have been ravaged by time and negligence.

“Presence of dust and dirt, high humidity (leading to water stains and fungal growth), improper storage, presence of insects, abrasion of the paintings due to mishandling etc., are a few factors for deterioration,” said Madhu Rani K.P., Director, ICKPAC.

The group had examined 72 paintings and 17 prints at the Government Museum as well as 32 art pieces at Venkatappa Art Gallery.

The ICKPAC will now individually determine the conservation effort required for each object. “Every art object will be approached differently, depending on the material and the techniques used. The paintings would require an estimated 12 to 15 months for treatment,” said Ms. Rani.

Cannons to be sent for conservation

The Government Museum recently added three cannons to its collection and they will soon be sent to the Regional Conservation Laboratory, Mysuru, for conservation. “Two were found near Tipu’s Palace during excavation for Namma Metro work. Another one was found during the work on a building of Bangalore Medical College and Research Centre a few months ago,” said H.T. Talwar, Director, Archaeology, Museums and Heritage Department.

Nursery to address ‘green disparity’

The centre will also sell gardening equipment, seeds, saplings and manure
The centre will also sell gardening equipment, seeds, saplings and manure

Addressing a ‘green disparity’ that had left Bengaluru North and East high and dry, the University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS) and Horticulture department have embarked on a major mission create more gardens in these part of the city.

Executing an ambitious plan, both the organisations have set up a sprawling two-acre nursery on airport road that would provide all the required inputs to people for greening the area.
The UAS in association with the Nursery Men Cooperative Society, an affiliate of the Horticulture department, on Friday inaugurated the nursery that will nurture the green need of the people of North and East Bengaluru.
The resource centre will also be a place for people to buy gardening equipments, seeds, saplings and manure.
Giving details of the project, Dr N Rajanna, manager and head of the Agricultural Technology Information Centre (ATIC) which is supervising the setting up of nursery unit said, “Bengaluru had only one nursery set up by Nurserymen Cooperative Society. But it was based in Lalbagh and largely benefitted the people of Bengaluru south. People from other parts of the city wanted to buy any plants or saplings, they had to go all the way to Lalbagh.

Hence, many from North and East had refrained from gardening activities. Now, with the nursery on UAS campus, adjacent to the airport road, people from these areas of people can be benefitted and take up gardening.”
The officials are hopeful that availability of nursery inputs at a closer distance would only attract more and more people to take up gardening and public planting exercise.

What will it do
* The society will be supplying seedlings and plants at the same cost as Lalbagh * People can buy all sorts of plants including ornamental, flower, fruit and medicinal plants * There will be gardeners at the centre who would help with the queries on setting up a kitchen garden or terrace garden * Besides, there will be availability of nursery inputs like equipments and seeds

Green disparity
Several reports by IISc experts over the condition of green cover in IT city, Bengaluru North and East revealed more built up area when compared to Bengaluru South that is replete with gardens and vast green patches.

The Location
The nursery has been set up conveniently at the entrance of UAS campus from the Airport road making it easier for people to visit, park and spend considerable time in choosing plants.
