Earth Hour 2011

Hi Everyone,

This Saturday (26-March), the symbols of our civilization, sky raising buildings, iconic monuments and landmarks from India to Australia to USA to Europe, will stand in darkness, to help bring to light one of the biggest challenges of our generation-- Climate Change.

The 'Earth Hour' that began as a show of solidarity against climate change has today become a global movement. It brings together a whole generation of humankind, from across the world and across all walks of life, in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common - our planet. It is a call to stand up, to take responsibility, to get involved and lead the way towards a sustainable future.

This year over a billions people from over 90 countries and 900 cities will come together to mark the Earth Hour.

Some of you may be thinking “who cares, what difference is one hour going to make?” Well, in words, tons, literally tons of coal won't be burned, tons of water won't be used for cooling, and tons of emissions won't be released.

We request you to please participate in it. All you need to do is switch of lights/TV/AC/FAN in your houses for one hour on 26-March-2010 at 8:30 pm – 9:30 pm at your time zone.

Please set reminders in you mobile and participate in this noble cause.

Thanks for visiting!

Book festival - Pusthkotsav

Hi All,

The book festival is back this year @ palace ground from November 12th to 21st. Unfortunately this time I can't go because my baby is too small, so hubby is going alone. We decided to add baby's book to our mini library this time. In my list this time are some of the Kannada and English rhymes books and some bed-time stories book. I want to collect Kannada poet G.P. Rajarathnam's all children's small poem are very famous which I grown up by singing. Also his well known Rathnan Padagalu most appreciated and admired work of him. Many more books are going to take a space at our book shelf.

Hope you all make use of this festival too.

1st anniversary of my blog

Hi everyone!

It's my blog's first year birthday!

Today is first day of deepavali i.e dhan traodashi exactly this day of last year I started blogging....can’t imagine I’ve been blogging here for one year. Blogging helped me to explore many talents within me and share many things with my readers.

As my son is taking all my time, number of posts are reducing. Hope I will keep going and will post some more in coming days....

Thanks to my all readers whoever you are!

A Bundle of Joy

Hi to all...

I have a news to share with you all, a sweet little one joined our home we are so excited about our first baby... It's a baby boy arrived on August 12th at 11:48 AM. I caught up in too many things unable to share, soon after baby's arrival.
It is so hard to believe that our sweet baby is a whole one month old today. These days have just flown by.....we both feel so blessed to have him in our lives and couldn't imagine life without him. In our eyes he is just perfect.

I'm in my own little world with my little wonder....it may take some time to get back to me for blogging...
Thanks for your all blessings and wishes.

Happy Ugadi

Hi All,

Wishing you all happy and prosperous Ugadi.

Ugadi is a new year and first day of the Hindu calender and also first day of chitra masa (spring season). This year is called Vikrutinama samvathsara.

We prepare today Bevu-Bella and as a prasada and distribute to all. Bevu is neem leaves which is bitter and bella is Jaggery which is sweet, represents joy and sorrow of life.

Let us pray that we gain enough strength to accept a low and high, joy and sorrow of life with a equability.

At north-karnataka we prepare Bevu-Bella in 2 methods one is in dry form and another one liquid form. Dry one will have a bevu (neem's tender fresh flowers) and bella, and dry fruits.

Liquid form will have a fresh fruits(mainly grapes and musk melon), bevu, bella, dry fruits, extracted water from tamarind, and grated raw mango and finally fine powder of fried gram. It will be a great and tasty drink.

May god bless all with peace and success this ugadi and all through out the year.
