First ever Marriage by Ram Sene

Jai Shri Seeta samet Jai Ramchandra dev (Hail Lord Seeta and Hail Lord Ram)... Many wishes to all in love and to all of you a very joyful Valentines Day...

With all the calamity of pink chaddi's and what not, I just figured that the first ever marriage done by Ram Sene (not led by Mr. Mutalik) was of Mr. Ram and Ms. Sita. Well those who talk about love being an offence and show of love in public a bigger offence have a lot of stories to learn from our mythology. I think I should mention the name of Lord Krishna who was known for being an outright exhibitionist of love.

There are many other instances which I can think of like birth of Karna, Hanuman's son Mritsanjaneya, Lakshmana and Shoorphanakhi list is endless and I have already had numerous debates with my acquaintances about each of this case.

But I think what Hindutva has preached from years is the concept of freedom. Hindutwa in technical terms is Open Source where as other book based religions (no offence what so ever) are like Windows where only the things written in book are followed. Hindutva encourages freedom of expression and that's why we see god everywhere dogs, cows, books, wood and even a sword.

Left to us if we follow open source or or windows but just want to say Live, Love and let Live...

I The Revenant!! (I live to tell the tale)

I really have no idea what to title this, tryst with destiny, final minutes, death at doorstep, light after darkness, reincarnation, second life, how I cheated death, My Life = 1300 Rs, I The Revenant, Sea rescue... But I am sure why I am writing this, I do not want to forget anything which happened on this day. It was early hours of Sunday, December 18, 2016, day after we had Mahpeede Mahablu show in Baindur. We wanted to go to the beach till sun rises, come back get ready and leave to Bangalore at any cost before 10 AM after breakfast at 9 AM. So we slept late, since we were in the same beach till 11 PM. We went in at around 6.30 AM and tried to get into the sea at point 2 in the image below. Later we realised that the current here is too much of the Sumana or Baindur river, force of the river was enough to make the sea water less salty. This is clear sign that the current is super strong. Looking for a suitable location, we moved to location...

My Article on Kannada Theatre Scene

Kannada Theatre Scene Ninth Century AD: King Nrupatunga wrote Kavirajamarga in the matured script of Kannada. It is the first recognised literary work by any author in Kannada history. Being a set of poems it was recited to people at numerous literary gatherings. Hence, we could also categorise it as the first script in Kannada literature. Kannada theatre has seen a huge wave of changes from the times of Jaina Works, Vachana Literature, Dasa Sahitya till today's Modern Kannada. When you go to the new look Ravindra Kalakshetra with improved interiors and exteriors and interact with the Kannada theatre activists, you get the same look and feel, as it was many years back. You still get to see the old scripts, which are, staged every week and meetings/readings going on in the Samsa Open Theatre. However, when you ask them the question of this article "what happened to the new age writers, why are we going back to the age of Shakespeare or of Karnard?" Everyone unanimously a...
