The good or bad of our legal system is that it is largely written during an ancient era with not much modern realities. Though the legal regime is still vital and relevant it still needs to be tuned to modern lines.
One such area is the area of Family law which could be seen as mis-interpreted and more than anything else mis-used. Many different countries have various versions of Family Law; but the need of the hour is that it has to be vetted against the Principles of Natural justice and must not be violative of the concept of Right To Life.
Marriage has an contractual element and could be seen as an agreement between two parties. The state must be a party to this agreement in some form and its involvement must be made more active ,problem starts when there is an issue of incompatibility. The state must have some active role in reducing in-compatibilities. In what way it can be implemented is an issue of law and legal governance.
To my observation the concept of maintenance is mis-used even making judges upset about the matter in many running cases. The moot point is that the concept of providing maintenance cannot be totally one-sided and violative putting a man in peril to meet the demands of maintenance. The concept is that since Marriage is a contract, in no way should any party involved get into the domain of un-just enrichment under the ambit of the law.
Refinement of the legal system with regard to such Contract under the light of many con-current cases in the past -both recent and distant- is an absolute need of the hour as the Fundemantal tenet of RIGHT TO LIFE which forms the basis of all legal regimes is not violated in any form to the disadvantage of some party.
Seating is an important part of human life.Erogonomics may be cited as a study of human comfort during seating as to how it comfortably rests the body weight and contours.There are many companies that are into seating solutions.
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.
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 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.
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.
KALARIPAYETTU is an important martial art of Malabar with a history of many many centuries. Warriors of Malabar both men and women used the training they received in the Kalari at various junctures in history largely in the area of Ambush warfares. Kadathunad the modern day VADAKARA was in ancient times a key Kalari hot-spot. These warriors were also used by the VIJAYANAGAR kingdom to secure its borders from intrusion along the Thungabadra river. The Kalari military training schools were shut down by the East India Company.
There is need to revive this domain in the modern day world. Scanning through the net I found an institution in Manantavady which is dedicated to KALARI. The general administration and other Governmental agencies must study how this ancient tradition can be used fully in modernday progress and upkeep.
They say the Chinese martial art forms of Karate and Kung-Fu have their origins in this Martial Art.Atleast the schools like this one must be given support that they might need.
During our times at the ITI Hospital we had a doctor by name Leela Manikkoth who was good at her profession and did a good job at the hospital. Much later she had opened a clinic in the jubilee building on Old Madras Road. I did meet her once in the corridors of this building when I had gone there for some work.
There is a professional link between her and our family - that she was a student of Dr. Madhavan Nambiar at Manipal. Dr. Madhavan Nambiar is the son of Dr. P C Nambiar from our family connections.
She brought a rare charm and aura to ITI hospital which simply cannot be forgotten.
The larger city of Bangalore has its own set of hilly terrains which are unique and special, largely settlements of the past which has become modern townships with its own characteristic features. The VRUSHABAVATHY river flows close to these terrains at some places and these terrains feed water into the VRUSHABAVATHY and other lakes. The very nature of these hills must be a source of large amounts of water.
When we exit the city of Bangalore from the modern day city Market towards Mysore there are mountainous formations on both sides of the road. To the left side was once upon a time a large chain of mountains which culminate at the big hill seen inside Lalbagh. The hill seen within Lalbagh is of solid rock formation and is a source of many streams and lakes. But the chain of hills that run almost parallel to the Mysore road are not hard rock formations but of hard soil making it more useful for human habitation. These hills could be called the LALBAGH HILLS considering that they originate at LALBAGH. To the right of the modern day Mysore Road when facing towards Mysore are also many hill formations which could be seen as an extension of the MAGADI HILLS.
Along the extension of the LALBAGH hills are various townships of modern day Bangalore -very different from the rest of the city because they owe their origins to hill formations and have large amount of vegetation and age-old trees and flora. The place is salubrious largely because of altitude and water formations and depict a domain where environment and development have gone hand-in-hand.
To my understanding the starting point of this region of Bangalore would be the ASHOKA PILLAR in JAYANAGAR which descends into BASAVANAGUDI and then to BANASHANKARI and then to HANUMANTHNNAGAR and then into GIRINAGAR also encapsulating a place called AVALAHALLI AND THYAGARAJANAGAR and into HOSAKEREHALLLI adjacent to the VRUSHABAVATHY river and the hill formation deeply descending into RAJA RAJESHWARI NAGAR all upto KENGERI covering many Kilometres. No place in Bangalore has such a stretch of Hill formations. In most of these sectors there are no high-rise apartments though they can be seen today at HOSAKEREHALLLI..
Many of these hills are getting ravaged towards HOSAKEREHALLI for modern day life styles but the entire stretch could be called the modern day hilly side of the city.
16th of June 1982 was a very happy day for all of us who had studied science stream at Sathya Sai College because most of us had done very well.I got 83 in Chemistry which I think should have been 90 even today in which case I would have got seat to study Electronics at KREC Suratkal but this did not happen. Many of my class mates we were all together; Shailendra Khare, Santosh, Bhaskar, Sanjay Dawar, Ramprasad and few others.
It must have been around 10 AM.For all practical purposes there are no buses during these times from Kadugodi to K R Puram railway station ; so all of us decided to walk to Hope Farm which we did.Waiting for bus at Hope Farm Santosh mildly made a comment at me. Didnt you apply for seat in REC in inter-state quota. I said NO. He told me 18th is the last date to apply to KREC Suratkal for inter-state quota and all you need is to submit a postal order of Rs.15.I did not know where this place Suratkal is and he told me it is in Mangalore and post will only take one day to reach this place. On a BMTC bus from Hope Farm to K R Puram Station I decided to do something about applying to KREC for inter-state quota.
The time must be around 12 noon and I hurried from the Railway Station bus stop towards my house and on the way picked up a cycle for rent and told my mother that I have to apply for inter state quota and I need Rs.15/-..and she readily complied with a rare scent of optimism in her face.
I rode the cycle to the post office writing a covering letter and making the Rs.15/- postal order. The time must have been 2:00PM 16th of June 1982. The mail exits from Dooravaninagar at 2:30pm and it was a close shave.
To Mangalore the mail would reach the day after if there was no postal delay which is 18th June 1982 and the last day to apply for out-station REC seats.If everything goes well the return mail with prospectus and the forms must reach on 20th June 1982.I spent sleep less nights from the 16th to the 20th.On the 20th morning around 10 AM I hired a cycle again and decided to ride towards the post office and as fortune would have it I met the postman infront of the Murugan temple in Vijanapura and asked if there was any mail for me and ...............LO.............. he removed a large parcel and handed it over to me and it was from KREC Suratkal with the application forms.My joy knew no bounds. It was as-if I already got a seat at REC. Miraculous last moment gamble which paid off. Sometimes optimism pays rich dividends.
The rest is history....with the confluence of other factors I got a seat at REC Calicut .My missing a seat in the first instance at KREC Suratkal had largely been compensated through the inter state quota.
I was destined to meet S V Giri, Srinath Shetty, Jerald Harry Dsouza, Gayathri Bhat and Arvind Poal Masaji and many others at REC NIT Calicut and live for more than four years in the hills of the Western Ghats where this institute is situated.
Shri. D Narendra was the Principal of SAYHYA SAI COLLEGE in 1980.I used to enjoy a good relationship with him and even went to his flat once for some purpose. His son Bharath was also friendly with me.
I remember Shri D Narendra because he was a good teacher of English language. In addition to being Principal he used to teach English both prose and poetry. I used to get good grades in English because of his excellent and experienced teaching.
In retrospect he was a good Principal and went about his chores very well.
Anantanarayanan used to be my senior both at Lowry Memorial High School and at Sathya Sai College in Whitefeild. He joined Sathya Sai College along with Stanley another senior of mine at Lowry School.Sathya Sai College had a penchant for students from Lowry Memorial School due to similarity in operational culture and had affiliation to the American ethos and way of life.Sathya Sai College at Whitefield had few American professors on its rolls like Dr. ALLWYN DRUCKER.
Anantha as we used to call him was a moderate success at Lowry Memorial School but was a big success in the Commerce stream which he took up later being a rank holder all-through his five year stint at Sathya Sai College. In the BCom exams of Bangalore University to my memory three students would always figure in the rank list, Anantha Narayanan, Kiran Vaid and Deepak Melwani.
He used to be our inspiration though we studied the science stream. His sister also was a student at Lowry Memorial School.In Lowry Memorial School Anantha had a class mate B R Suresh and another person whose name I dont recollect.B R Suresh I cannot forget because they used to call him B R Dumma because he was a very fat person. AnanthaNarayanan would play table tennis also well.
On being inspired by people like Ananthanarayanan even I got 52 rank at the Pre-University Board in Karnataka state in 1982.I should have got a better rank because I got only 83 in Chemistry which I think even today should have been atleast 90. Had I got 90 I would have got seat at KREC Suratkal in the first list itself which I didnt.
