   (Mumbai Indians V/S Chennai Super Kings, April 7th 2018 )



What I was waiting for has already started. Yes it is IPL. The most interesting thing is that the match was between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings and I’m a diehard fan of CSK. Do you why? Because I’m a big fan of MS Dhoni  and Suresh Raina. I was much tensed because MI is also one of the strongest teams of IPL. When CSK won the toss and chose to field first, it gave me a bit relief. 

The first over was bowled by Deepak Chahar I was happy as Mumbai couldn’t do more in the first 2 overs. Then Deepak came up with excellent piece of bowling in the third over and took the wicket of Lewis. Lewis and Rohit Sharma couldn’t contribute more. Then came the partnership of Suryakumar yadhav and Ishan kishan  with clean and brilliant shots. But not for long , Harbajan got Suryakumar out.then came one of my favorite hitters Hardhik Pandya. After Ishan Kishan the elder one , Krunal Pandya came in. I would call the brothers the maximum brothers of MI. As always the brothers had a great partnership. Bravo didnt bowl that well in his starting overs but his last two overs were really good. Hardhik even got hurt because of the amazing Yorkers. 

It was the time for kings to chase. The first 3 overs went well for CSK, When Watson got out CSK started getting dull. Though Hardhik Pandya was hurt he bowled well and took wickets. I felt that the extraordinary bowler of the match was Mayank Markande. He has become one of my favourite bowlers now.

I slept after 8 overs. Morning as soon as I got up I asked my dad who won. I was dancing in joy when I got to know about CSK’s win.  Then I saw Bravo’s wonderful shots and Kedhar Jadhav’s 7 runs from 3 balls. Bravo was man of the match for his magnificent 68 runs contribution out of 30 balls, which included 7sixes and 3 fours

(PS:  Need not mention that though I missed the live match, I did nt miss highlights of the match.)

  Karnataka witnessed one of its most defining movements in the 1980s, a landmark in post-independence India’s language-centric struggles. It all began when the then Chief Minister, D. Devaraj Urs, made a bold decision to move Sanskrit from the first-language category to the third-language group. This move elevated Kannada and all languages of the land, including minority languages to the first- and second-language categories. Urs aimed to correct a trend where Kannada, the state’s official language, was being sidelined, especially in English-medium schools, where it often ended up as the least preferred option. The roots of this issue were traced back to Sanskrit being offered as the first language in Karnataka’s high schools. This arrangement meant many Kannadiga students could complete high school without ever studying their native tongue. Urs's policy was a step towards addressing this imbalance. However, in 1980, after Urs lost power, the new Chief Minister, R. Gundu Rao, reve...

A Market Morning

Around two years ago, on a Thursday morning, I woke up feeling insanely blue. The thought of going to college felt unbearable. After minutes of reflection and thorough calculations about my attendance percentages, I decided to bunk. However, I couldn’t go back to sleep. I felt weirdly restless. I hopped out of bed and decided to take a walk. Staying in Basavanagudi had its perks (a lot of them), Gandhi Bazar was just a couple of lanes away. I got dressed, grabbed my camera and headed straight to the flower market. It was quarter to eight, and the market was just coming to life. Vendors were settling into their usual spots, prepping for the day ahead. Fresh loads of flowers had arrived, flooding the morning air with rich scents. The Sun shone shyly, giving the colorful flowers a tinge of contouring.              The following day was Vara Mahalakshmi Vrata and thus, it was busier than usual. People bustled through the market looking at what every vendor...

The Festival Soundtrack; Yet Another Display of the Folk’s Engagement With Art.

Every year, numerous Ganesha pendals set up across the state herald the arrival of September. They are set up with great effort, incorporating various aspects of ritual tradition and regional culture, often competing with each other. Pop culture invariably makes its way to these pendals; largely influencing the decorations, idol designs and the most evident of all, the pendal soundtracks. Over the decade, pop music has emerged as a celebrated part of Ganesha Habba. From orchestra performances to playing DJ remixes during visarjane, pop music has found its way into what is largely perceived as devotional gathering.   It is so prevalent that it almost seems organic.   Songs like ‘Deva Shree Ganesha’ from Agneepath and ‘Shambu Sutaya’ from ABCD have emerged to become synonymous with the festival across the country. While ‘Gajamukhane Ganapathiye’ is indispensable; people grooving to ‘Kenchalo Manchalo’ is also long standing in Karnataka. Any regional song with a catchy tun...
