Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass ...
Its about learning to dance in the rain!!!
There are many things in life that will catch your eye
but only a few will catch your heart... Pursue those

This is my small effort to make you smile for a while...

Karnatakada itihaasadalli…


Hutidare kannada nadalli hutta beku mettidare kannada manna metta beku…

Navaaduva nudiye kannada nudi naaviruva taanave gandhada gudi…

Karnatakada itihaasadalli…

Sounds familiar or may be you are hearing this song over and over the streets you walk or near the auto stands? Yes then sure its November month. All Kannadigas must know its our festival day which entire Karnataka celebrates without any discrimination among themselves. Its November 1st Kannada Rajyotsava now I don’t want to tell you all the history, but it really is astonishing to know how all these feels now.

Mostly last week of October you can see all Auto Stands well decorated with Snaps of Shankarnag, Raj Kumar and our Karnataka Flag, Now this leaves me wondering if this patriotism is remaining only among these people, and on this November 1st for sure if you wander near these stands you will get a sweet packet. I am often stopped by such group and given sweet box, I will always remember the smile in their face when they say “Madam speet RajyoStava pesallu” now this means “Please take sweets its specially for Rajyotsava”

I at least see few kids dressed in Yellow colored Kurta and Red color Pajama. And one Girl in the group with same color combination saree and Crown, Then this is a dance program featuring on Karnataka. Girl as Mother Karanataka and one of the above songs where Guys dance around her.

But this is not everything about Karnataka Rajyotsava, The best part of it is the innocency in which it is celebrated even to this day by Kannadigas. Truly speaking Karnataka or Bengaluru has most wonderful people. Like all other states in India Karnataka also has unique language, culture, food. But the people here are among the best people you will find. Kannadigas are specially known for their friendly and caring nature. You meet a person with smiling face and trying to learn other languages with all their interest then for sure you can think it’s a kannadiga there. Kannadiga’s are very talented in learning other languages and also adjusting, often this is considered as our weakness. Such is the nature of Kannadiga.

I must say I am one of those privileged to get to stay here all my life and to enjoy this warmth. This November 30th and a friend of mine telling about Karnataka made me tell about kannadigas more than Karnataka.

This Blog is dedicated to all those innocent smiles and ever lasting Patriotism of our Kannadigas. Siriganadam Gelge Sirganadam Baalge…
Now dont ask me why you wrote this in Englsi :) its only to convey all that I want to say to everyone :)
Huttidare kannada naadalli huttabeku…
