ಈ ಬಾರಿ ಚಿತ್ರ ಸಂತೆ ನೋಡುವ ಭಾಗ್ಯ ನನಗೆ ದೊರೆಯಿತು. ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದರಲ್ಲೂ ತನ್ನದೇ ಆದ ವಿಶೇಷತೆ. ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಕಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಹಬ್ಬ.
ನನ್ನ ಮನಸ್ಸಿಗೆ ಅತೀ ಖುಷಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟ ಕೆಲವು ಕಲಾಕೃತಿಗಳು ಇವು.

A tribute to Bapu
This is about the program organised today on the occasion of Gandhiji's 63d death anniversary in Gandhi Bhavan, Bengaluru.
The program featured the screening of two documentaries on Gandhiji namely,
- Gandhi-5:17 and
- Gandhi- The 20th century's prophet
and an interactive work by Arathi H.K, artist.
The first film(5:17 is the time of assassination of Gandhiji) is an account of Gandhiji's assassination by Shri Krishna Dev Madan, who was a program officer with AIR and was present on 30th January 1948, at the lawn of Birla House preparing to record Gandhiji's speech, before he was shot.
On 10th Nov 2010, a meeting was organised with people from all walks of life, where Sri Madan recollected the incident of that day, which was made into a movie.
The second film is a rare documentary on Bapu, made by A.K. Chettiar in 1940, after extensive research and travel over one lakh kilometers across four continents. All versions of this eighty-one minute film were thought to be lost after the British had banned the film, until a Hollywood-made version was uncovered recently.

I really appreciate Arathi's
effort in making the program a grand success. The way she managed to
take the responsibility to convey the message of audience regarding
peace, to anybody via postcard was impressive.
What a great idea to pay tribute to our Father of the Nation on his 63rd death anniversary!Monday, January 10, 2011
A day with birds
A dream come true for me! Yes, this is my first ever visit to a bird sanctuary.
Ranganathittu is located in Mandya district of Karnataka.
Going back to its history, it was declared a Bird Sanctuary on 1st July 1940 by the then Maharaja of Mysore at the instance of Dr. Salim Ali, who visited the area during his survey of birds.
This is made up unconnected islets. It is here that the migratory birds begin to arrive in December, lay eggs, breed and finally move back with their young ones somewhere in August.
Their origin is traced out to be as far as Siberia, Australia.
Here are few lucky ones i could catch on our boat ride near those islets.
Gang of Storks
Thats me with Anju
Cormorant attacking its prey
Painted Stork
Cormorant waiting for comrade
Spoonbill on flight
