Here are some random shots from Lalbagh –

I don’t remember when I read ‘Karvalo’ for the first time, that was more than 11-12 years ago.

I liked the way of his writing style. Each and every […]

Me: O! what! …… …… ….. ok whatever, switch it on! Have a nice weekend 🙂

I was reading ‘Sanna Kathegalu – Volume 1‘, short stories by Maasti Venkatesh Iyengar, and there was this short poem in one of the stories. When I read it first, it felt familiar. It took me some time to make out the original rhyme. What a magic with words. Kannada What a wonderful language it is. Wonderful translation done here. Any guess on the original poem? 😉 Speaking about translation works, B>M Sri has done an amazing work in translating English poems to Kannada. Karunaalu baa belake is one such example. Original is here – Lead, kindly Light
