Made In Bengaluru - Kannada Movie Review

Five minute review of Made In Bengaluru Kannada Movie - which is about struggles and triumph of startup founded by three friends in Bengaluru. Movie features veterans like Anant Nag, Sai Kumar, Prakash Belawadi, Sudha Belawadi, Ramesh Bhat along with new comers Madhusudan Govind, Puneet Manja, Vamshidhar, Himanshi Varma.  Though not great, this movie can be said as a good attempt looking at the dearth of movies made about startups in Kannada.

ಮೇಡ್ ಇನ್ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಚಿತ್ರದ ವಿಶ್ಲೇಷಣೆ ಕೇವಲ ಐದು ನಿಮಿಷದಲ್ಲಿ . ಮೂವರು ಗೆಳೆಯರು ತಮ್ಮ ಕಾರ್ಪೊರೇಟ್ ಕೆಲಸಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಸ್ವಾರ್ಟ್ ಅಪ್ ಶುರುಮಾಡುವ ಕಥೆ ಇದರಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ಚಿತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಅನಂತ ನಾಗ್, ಸಾಯಿಕುಮಾರ್ , ಪ್ರಕಾಶ್ ಬೆಳವಾಡಿ, ಸುಧಾ ಬೆಳವಾಡಿ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಹೊಸಬರಾದ ಮಧುಸೂಧನ್ ಗೋವಿಂದ್, ಪುನೀತ್ ಮಂಜ, ವಂಶೀಧರ್, ಹಿಮಾಂಶಿ ವರ್ಮ ತಾರಾಗಣವಿದೆ. ಅತ್ಯುತ್ತಮವಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೂ ಸ್ಟಾರ್ಟ್ ಅಪ್ ಬಗೆಗಿನ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳ ಅಭಾವದ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ಈ ಚಿತ್ರ ಒಂದು ಉತ್ತಮ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಅನ್ನಬಹುದು.

Launch of new YouTube channel - Gaalipata

Sandeep Shande and I launched our new YouTube channel - Gaalipata on Indian independence day - August 15, 2022. A kite flying in limitless sky symbolises freedom of expression. Conversations in Kannada about numerous subtle experiences of life is the central theme of "Gaalipata" (means kite in Kannada language) YouTube channel.

In our very first episode, we discuss about our celebrations related to 75 years of India's independence and later in detail review the latest Kannada movie Gaalipata-2. We also flash back to 14 years to discuss our excitement when our blog post on review of Gaalipata-1 was featured in a Kannada ezine in 2008.

My Poem - Spirit of Life

Background : This poem is inspired by the painting "At the close of a joyful day" by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema. In the painting, after a joyful day, when the sun is about to set, a person standing at the seashore is observing the waves and is looking into the horizon. I believe this also depicts our mental state in these times of unprecedented challenges, anticipating a bright future ahead.

Spirit of Life 

                       By Raveesh Kumar

Like a high tide in the sea

It's a momentary joy!

Though the sea gone silent since

But the mind has its essence!

Will this day return again

With those wonderful moments

As the white in the marble shining in glow

and the sparkling sunshine subduing the blue!

If change is the only constant

Joy and sorrow take their turn!

Spirit of life remains high

After the times of sigh!

Sikkim Trip : Lachung, Yumthang Valley and Zero Point

Just like the famous Machu Picchu peak in South America, I thought! Though it was 5 am, it was already bright outside. From the balcony of my room, I was staring at three giant peaks! In comparison, the village below seemed tiny! After a moment, I could also hear the sound of a water fall from a far distance. I could spot a stream on the mountain. But wait, not one but many such streams. As I turned to my left, I saw a sparkling spectacle! Peaks of snow capped mountains glowing like gold in the sunlight!  Wow, I felt like I was being welcomed to Lachung in North Sikkim.

Three Giant Peaks, Lachung, North Sikkim (Can you spot the deer in the clouds?)

As I was contemplating, I remembered what my guide said,  "It was just the beginning!". But what could be a greater sight than this? Well, after an hour, we were on our way to find out. We felt blessed as we crossed a bridge decorated with Tibetan prayer flags of blue, white, red, green and yellow.
