MR. SUDARSHAN AT SATHYA SAI COLLLEGE

 At  SATHYA SAI COLLEGE in Whitefeild used to be a tutor by name Mr. Sudarshan who used to be well inclined to me. He used to take keen interest in my affairs. He used to teach English and Physics. He used to maintain discipline in the campus which was his major assignment.  I learnt from someone that he lives in NEW HAMPSHIRE in the United States. He has done a Doctorate in Physics from  VENKATESHWARA  UNIVERSITY  later.


I thought it would have been a mistake if I dont record his name somewhere because we shared a professional relationship.

MY LIFE AT C HOSTEL ROOM 327





I used to live in B HOSTEL ROOM 108 .Life in this room was difficult as it was in the ground floor with disturbance from people walking in the corridor. The sad incident in this room was the strike of November 1983. I must have been in this room till AUGUST 1984. Television comes to hostels in JUNE 1984 and life in hostels changed with the advent of TV.


Around August 1984 I moved to C HOSTEL room 327  which was a triple  seater  room and Binodanand Mishra and M M Shajan were my room mates.One year I stayed in C HOSTEL was the best. This room was in the wing facing the B hostel on one side and even Kattangal was visible from the other. Gautham Hendre  used to live in the near opposite room. Prem Wathore also was near -by. C HOSTEL used to be well whitewashed and very clean


In the afternoon of October 31 1984 Saikia came running to my room and said the then Prime Minister Smt. Indhira Gandhi was assasinated.I could not beleive the news and ran to the common room and came to know it was true from the TV news. The common room  of C HOSTEL was very spacious and I used be there in the evenings to watch the LUCY SHOW. The TV in the common room was that of KELTRON.


Life in this room used to be very good and largely productive. Since it was in the corner it was very peaceful with less noise.I spent the entire night studying for some exam in this hostel.Singing loudly in this forlorn corridor of C HOSTEL made me some kind of a singer with time.. VENUGOPAL my immediate senior used to live in a room at the end of the corridor and we would land up chatting for some time. Venugopal then went to IISc.I used to get very good and deep sleep in this room and the food in the C Hostel used to be very good.


People who lived in this room at NIT CALICUT  must have enjoyed the good fortune I did and  enjoyed the silence and warmth of this room and hostel.

BANDE MAHAKALI TEMPLE IN CHAMRAJPET BANGALORE

 BANDE MAHAKALI TEMPLE  is a higly popular and visited temple in the city of Bengaluru Bangalore and is a magic of the chieftain of Bangalore under the Vijayanagar kings  SHRI. KEMPEGOWDA whose touch of administrative class made many contributions to the city and the basic foundations of the city can be attributed to him.

KALI  is a highly worshipped Goddess in India and it is apt that people of vision envisaged such temples across the length and breadth of the country, Many such temples were refurbished and renovated by successive rulers. This temple is also result of such enterprise. BANDE in Kannada means rock. There are more than three major hard rock formations in the vicinity of this temple and this temple could have got its name from these rocks. Some say it is because of the word BANDI which means vehicle in Kannada and in yore it was a place flocked by travellers travelling to Mysore from places like Vellore where they took shelter in this place .However the rock theory has more credence. KEMPEGOWDA thought it prudent to use the hillock on which this temple is situated as a WATCH TOWER  considering large number of population flocked this area. Since there are many hillock in this area the entire place is safe from many incursions from inimical people because a watch over the township called GAVIPURAM where this temple is situated can be made on all sides. The word GAVI means cave in Kannada. This area must have had many caves that offered shelter to travellers who were guarded by sentry who used the watch-tower to pre-empt any aggression. Many of these caves must have been privately owned and rented for public use. Organised robbery was a common affair during these times and a place is vetted and authenticated for safety from marauders.


Water from all these hillocks empty into the Kempemanabudhi lake nearby which feeds the VRUSHABAVATHY RIVER downstream. The name of this lake must have been KEMPANNA BUDHI KERE which has morphed and changed with time. BUDHI is a respectful kannada word for a LAND LORD  ....KEMPANNA refers to SHRI KEMPEGOWDA. THIS PLACE IS NOTHING BUT THE CLASS OF  KEMPEGOWDA.

This is a highly thronged temple in the city. How to reach this place?This place is GAVIPURAM EXTENSION near Ramakrishna Math in CHAMRAJPET AREA. IT MUST BE THREE KILOMETERS FROM lalbagh metro station. MANY PEOPLE TAKE AUTO FROM THIS METRO STATION AND BACK.This place is also adjacent to Hanumanthanagar and Srinagar and also the BULL TEMPLE and BUGLE ROCK are not far away.



When you enter the temple premises to the left is an entry to the sanctum sanctorum.. If you walk straight on the hill you see the watch tower on the left side and the Kempabudhi kere can be seen ahead. Many rocks on this hillock are being eradicated through modern means to create space for people but the lake is clearly visible from this point and also the horizon of the city with tall structures.
