Parisarada kathegalu

Currently I am reading Poorna Chandra Tejaswi's 'Parisarada kathegalu'. Its a lovely book of short stories on people and environment near his farm in Mudigere. Teejaswi starts the first chapter with quoting other people making remarks comparing his father to himself liek "Enthovarige entha maga" , etc. I always thought Teejaswi and Ullas Karanth would have faced comparision with their father. But both are good in their own areas, Teejaswi continued his fathers love for nature with bird watchiong, photography, short novels on life in Malnad. wheras Ullas Karanth involved himself completely into tiger conservation, he will be remembered as the person to bring in scientific study of population of tiger to india with his camera trap techniques, he also did a comprehensive study on prey predator relationships

sms 6260

hullo fellas,
I have put in a small part in a new kannada movie SMS 6260. The initial promos of the movie are at http://www.chitraloka.com/sms6260/.
My ex-colleague Sandeep Malani is directing the movie, promos look promising. He managed to get Parvatamma Rajkumar to release the audio, that was a coup alright.
The story is based on a real life love story from our ex-company, where the protogonists were a japanese guy and a nepali girl. Malani had helped them get married and elope [ :-) ], this couple are happily married and settled in Bengaluru nowadays.
Trailors are comoing Etv and Udaya itseams, gotta catch it sometime, probably pick up the audio too. The movie is slated to be released on Feb 14th, hoping the best for my friend.

kushi irali,
