[post contains kannada] This was a real gem on sampada… at first I had a [totally baseless] assumption that the interview might be about politics or something (and boring)… (The writeup says: “ಸಿರಿಸಂಪಿಗೆಯ ಕವಿ ಚಂದà³à²°à²¶à³‡à²–ರ ಕಂಬಾರರನà³à²¨à³ ಕನà³à²¨à²¡à²¿à²—ರಿಗೆ ಪರಿಚಯಿಸà³à²µ ಅಗತà³à²¯à²µà²¿à²²à³à²².” – ಆದರೆ ನನà³à²¨à²‚ತ ಮà³à² à³à² ಾಲà³à²°à³‚ ಇರà³à²¤à³à²¤à²¾à²°à³† ಸà³à²µà²¾à²®à²¿ – ನನಗೆ ಗೊತà³à²¤à²¿à²°à³à²²à²¿à²²à³à²²… 😳 ) …but anyway… the podcasted interview…
RwB: Today is MahaShivarathri It would be nice if you could share how you had spent this shivaratri. Here is my story.
monkey business monkey1: where’s the start key? monkey2: look around it must be there somewhere. mountain goat: somebody chase these monkeys away! just leave me alone, I’m peaceful by myself… ayayyapppaa… had enough of these family problems!
Some dialogues from Muktha – maybe some poetry… or quotation from some literature… are truly inspiring! You’re welcome to post anything that you can recall any from any (old or current) episodes – anything that inspired you… or simply made you laugh !
Currently my site seems to have some Unicode problem so all kannada characters are messed up. Root cause seems to be a wrong database collation after an import into a new database. Btw thanks to the super support of Weblogs.us, this site is powered by a lot more powerful and reliable server and database now!…
The following is something I’d written a while ago in a “learn kannada” forum… Real life incidents though not exactly verbatim… Auto-rickshaw drivers of Bangalore nowadays have become more selective than infy in ‘choosing’ their ‘projects’! They usually refuse to go wherever a passenger wants to go, and drive off, and one has to stop…
For lazy people like me, can the links be rendered clickable?? and also the fonts – not able to read them? any ideas?
Thats because a lazier fellow wrote the post… but since wordpress allows URL linking quite easily, I managed to easily make them clickable. Check out the last link (wiki page) for Kannada font support.
