AMERICAN PRESIDENTS

 


KSRTC BUS STATION AT HASSAN

 





Hassan  is a key town in the state of Karnataka and is a transit point to places like Mangalore and is some four hours journey from Bengaluru. Modern day Hassan is a major township. Decades ago I had visited a place called Holenarsipura which is near Hassan and Hassan has many scientific and educational institutions.


The key aspect today is the exquisite KSRTC bus stand which is of splendid design. It uses the "OPEN DESIGN" model of bus stations with platforms on either side with ample parking and seating spaces. Designers of  Govt. bus stations around the country can have a look at the Hassan bus station and incorporate its attributes when they design Bus Stations.

THE KINGSWAY MODERN DICTIONARY

My  Father was uncompromising in the supply of texts and books to his children sometimes travelling miles across various destinations just to source one text book and he was meticulous at bringing constructive educational material for his children starting from the morning news paper. 

One such book he bought from out of the blue was the KINGSWAY MODERN DICTIONARY. This book was a joy of our childhood and was at our house for many decades and was a interesting thing for children that it had many portraits. The book was basically in demand from our colleagues at school who wanted to keep it for themselves at least for a day.

This book is published even today and a copy of which could adorn the shelves of homes, schools and institutes.
