4. Hello everybody,

   I really want to comment on the serial Muktha by T.N.SEETHARAM, Gauribidanur. To be frank the serial by him is a good attempt. I guess it is appriciated widely too.

   At the same time I would say few words what I have noticed from few days, the serial is not really catching up as it was before. It is getting out of its track in convincing the viewer. I was really impressed when certain episode were evidently shown in the serial (Scientific and Law related). I was watching the episode yesterday, the kidnapping of the kid. I was really disappointed. I guess Mr.Seetharam is aware of this.

   Thanking the concern to provide me the opportunity to comment on this issue.

   kindly acknowledge if possible.

   Thanking you,

   Kannadiga,

   Dharanesh.

5. In the recent month’s Muktha has become a bore serial,Cashing on women sentiments too much of atrocities are shown.Ultimately what they want to prove …
   More so this serial is losing its objective badly unlike earlier Seeetharam’ serial.
   I also think people who want extract and cheat in real life are being encouraged by showing too many bad things…

   This is not expected from Seetharam…

6. I think in Muktha, all problems occur to just one family. How can that be. Earlier the leading ladies who showed enough wit and courage to solve a situation, now seem like any K-Mart heroines succumbing to others vices. I don’t think we percieve Mr. Seetharamu that way. I see him as a go getter, courageous person who wouldnot be encompassed by other’s wickedness. Please show it in your work.

7. On 11.10.2005 episode, several times the word ‘Euro Dollar’ is referred. There is ‘Euro’ and there is ‘Dollar’ but there is no ‘Euro Dollar’

8. Good observation Sreesha 🙂

   Btw I’ve passed on this link containing all comments to the Muktha team (contact info comes at the end of the serial).

9. In Muktha serial, watching two character is very difficult, one is Ms. Arundathi and another is Home minister wife. Their acting and incidents are really boring. Home ministor is catched a other person’s wife, hence she should be more atractive and glamerous lady but she looks ordinery. And in case of Arundhati, she is not looks like sundary but so many times muktha serial is stating her as sundary. Otherwise muktha serial is very good.Expecting more on law related with Mr. Seetharam

10. Mukhtha is a nice serial. Interesting and my parents make sure they watch all the episodes without fail. But I cant digest the fact that alwaysthere is some problem orbthe other in Purushotham, Arundhati, and to every member in their family omly.

11. Dear Shri Seetharam,
    Muktha Serial is really mind blowing, fantastic and is par excellence. Right from the point of view of story, direction, acting, etc. this Muktha Serial deserves all the appreciation. Shri Seetharam has really extracted the potential of all the actors. The roles played in the form of SP, CM, HM & his wife, CSP, MLAs like Rane, Shivkrishna Desai, Grand old parents and their family, Sadanand Patel, etc. are so much real that at no point of time one feels that they are acting. It feels that they are portraying their part in real lives. When one is developing an aversion for the various serials particularly the serials of Ektha Kapoor, this Muktha Serial directed by one and only Mr. Seetharam, is a great respite.
    With all this, there is one suggestion that I would like to make to Shri Seetharam. LET HIM NOT ORGANIZE ANY “SAMVADA” AT ANY PLACE IN FUTURE. This Samvada is somehow killing the enthusiasm of a majority of audience like me who feel that Muktha is not a Serial but a real life happening. In Samvada we will be seeing almost all the characters in different get-ups and styles, people offering comments, Shri Seetharam clarifying those comments, people asking Shri Seetharam not to do that one and this one, not to allow Nanjunda to go to wrong path, so on and so forth. This will really affect the interests of the audience. Shri Seetharam who is considered by far as a Director/Story Writer/Actor who depict real life happenings (natural happenings, let him bring out the serial as per his vision/thinking. Let him not take the comments and bring out the serial. Let him not do Samvadas and make the serial a reel one. I wish Shri Seetharam and his troupe all the very best.

12. In Yesterday’s episode of Muktha Arunachal Murthy & Madhavi Patel met with an accident-planned by Rane, does anyone know what happens next?

13. I love to watch muktha serial everyday. I feel really something missing on saturdays and sundays without the serial. All the characters are so realistic and I like court scenes most. We will be very curious to watch the way in which Director seetharam proves to the court aobut the innocence of his client even though we will be knowing who is hte guilty and how it has been done etc. but, sometimes, it looks unrealistic that CSP gets all the proofs like old post card written, all entries made in guest houses, hospitals, lodges etc, which is possible only in serials.

14. i like muktha serial
    it is so good
    from this serial society may be improved

15. I hate the CBI director Sandhya Mangalvade! That seems one of the very few mistakes committed by TNS, otherwise its absolutely well made serial-a good break from the melodramas!

16. Dear Shri Sitaram,

    Muktha serial is extremely well written and well directed,however it seems strange that the driver who drove madhavi patels car has not been questioned at all by anyone, his integrity has not been questioned. I feel he is the one who has killed Arunachal murthy after the car had fallen in the gourge using the revolver of madhavi patel. After she had fallen she lost conciousness and did not remember, meanwhile the driver used the oppurtunity to kill the minister.

    CSP and his dialogues are enthralling, all of us at home dutifully watch the serial. We are waiting for the courtroom battles.

    Regards
    Harish

17. No doubt Muktha is one of the best serials ever made, Can anybody share contact details of Seetharam ( email, mobile). After watching teh serial from last 6-8 months dying speak to him and discuss .
    Now the court scenes have started and it will be just impossible to miss any episodes, Entry of ravi belegere as judge is like jewel in the crown. I think with this Muktha will come to end, what others say???

18. So far I haven’t got a response but this email id comes at the end of the serial: muktha@bhoomika.net

19. Hi,

    I want to crate a website for muktha. Design and development i will do with my own cost, if you ready to host it you can contact me and also i am ready maintain the web site. I like this serial very so i am thinking to design a good website for MUKTHA.

20. Hi,
    I have watched the last couple of episode.
    I have a question, what happen to SOUTH AFRICA blast planned in the serial, there is no news. I think director loss the track!!!

    Regards
    Kumara

21. South Africa blast is a key aspect in the ongoing trial IMO.

22. Yes very true. Also why does Jai Jagadish come in between?

23. 22.

    Yes very true. Also why does Jai Jagadish come in between?

    To irritate 😉

    I hate the sidekick stories of Jaijagadeesh scenes, arundhathi-manmohan’s everlastin’ irritating conversations. They beat same topics to death over and over and over.

24. Today’s debate with the psychologist was simply fantastic. Its amazing the way he manages to research the concerned topic and find the right clues to provide the required evidence!

25. Hi Sanjay…
    I agree with you on that – the way he made the psychologist accept that MP could not have committed the murder was amazing.
    At the end, I was so excited, that I shouted “That’s all your honour!” along with him.

    This is what I like about Mukta.. Not only is it entertaining, but also extremely informative. At least your brain is given some thinking to do. This serial beats any other mindless drama I have seen – in Kannada or English.

    By the way, you have an excellent blog here. I had come here one more time following a link – about how to be proud to be a kannadiga or something – that was excellent too. I had no time to look around that time – just happened to come hre again – and I am looking around. Will keep coming back.

26. Initially we are not at all serial lovers. Now MUKTHA serial has influenced us to such an extent we even postpone or prepone our official work between 9pm to 9.30pm. TN SITARAM is doing a great job in resolving the social issues. Please convey our message to the great director. If we get his contact details that would be great.

    SOME PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT US WHICH WOULD BE OF GREAT USE TO STUDENT COMMUNITY OF INDIA.(SEEKING FOR ATTENTION OF SHRI.T.N.SITHARAM)

    We Pradeep & Vathsal, take this great opportunity to introduce ourselves as management graduates from Bangalore Univrsity.

    We feel the potentiality of the management students is great in our country. We have come across difficulties in getting the required management information at our college days.

    This has prompted us to create a website http://www.indianbizinfo.com . This is our maiden venture to bridge the gap of required information for the management students, professors and every knowledge loving person in India.

    Your comments, suggestions and feedback is very valuable to us. We request you to evaluate our efforts. This will help us to enhance the contents of the website farmore useful to the management fraternity of our country.

    It would be grateful if you can pass this message to the student community of India.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Yours truly,

    Pradeep and Vathsal

27. I Work for a MNC now, so my work timing is not allowing me to watch “Mukta” for last couple of months.Fortunately, I could see the serial again in this Christmus holidays. The intensity of my liking towards this serial is provoking me to change my job again!!!!!!!!Lets C.

28. Today in a restaurant (Samrat, near Central) I met an actor of one of the E TV serials – Ramesh, who acts in Manmanthara. He is actually a farmer by profession! As it is I have a lot of respect for farmers in general (they’re the annadaathas – the backbone of our country!) – and ended up really liking him as a person. I hope to meet him again. He – very suprisingly – turned out to be a very close childhood friend of one of late uncles (and was saddened to hear that he was now no more) – its a small world! He promised to visit us at home – though I doubt if he would remember it.

    He is a close friend of T.N. Seetharam. I requested him to request Mr. Seetharam to have a look at the comments in this URL, and also if possible to call me giving him my mobile number. So lets see if things work out 😉

29. Shruti, thanks for your kind comments about the site.

    At the end, I was so excited, that I shouted “That’s all your honour!”

    It was almost the same at my home as well 🙂 One thing at this point was the expression on Seetharam’s face – no gloating over the victory but just a tranquil matter-of-fact smile. Apart from all his other talents, the gentleman is a truly exceptional actor as well.

    Harish, you could also consider some less drastic alternatives:
    – a video recording solution 😎
    – or try to work out some flexible timing ideas with your manager
    – or arrange for a TV at the office (well there is one in the cafeteria of a lot of offices already I think, atleast there is in mine) – and plan for a ‘daily coffee break’ during that time 😉

    Actually it would be good if the serial got retelecasted, maybe late at night or in the afternoon (previous day’s episode) or something like that.

30. Now Muktha is reaching very interesting situation, I think the episodes shpuld not have any other fillup scenes apart from court drama, Everyday one scene will be for time pass like Jaijagadish or Nanjunda’A marriage etc. Atleast till this case is over let there be nonstop court drama . Once the case is over may be other things can be taken up and give logical endings. It would be great if TNseetharam have a look at all comments here. I think he is one of the greatest Directors Kannada has, atleast he should be given the due credit , A syou know we Kannadaigas never recognise our own people and always tend to appreciate others at the cost of Kannada people and Kannada language

31. Rightly said … court drama is very very interesting … especially the cross examination by CSP …He takes a totally different approach than what we are thinking …

32. Dear friends,
    It is really facinating to see such a lovely response for a kannada seriel (off late..atleast we can say we have a wonderful seriel, if not a decent movie). T. N. Seethatramu by all means is a fantastic director and thinker. His affinity towards, kannada poems is appreciable. With that atleast our younger generation are coming to know how rich our litrature is. Muktha by all means is the best serial (for god sake,, don’t compare it with Ektha kapoor – balaji telifilms seriels). Now it is getting more interested with the court sequences. I have few comments…let me see if somebody can clarify that? In the recent episode he was arguing regarding the blood stains on the driver’s shirt but nothing on the MP’s uniform. One can see the blood stains only on the front lower half of the shirt But nothing behind. TNS could have argued that as the driver is sitting in the front row of the car, the possibilty of blood falling on to the driver is only from the back. How come it is in the front portion of his shirt..? Secondly, the judge is not saying anything or punishing the witness once he is proven false.

33. Namaskara Keshav,
    Some clarification on your comments !
    Yes you are right about blood stains adare nevu koda swalpa mistaken as a driver he cant get any strains in back as seat covers backside but blood stains should have been on shoulder part as driver says blood cameou as fountain…Correcta ?
    I guess this will be questioned later.

    Regarding false witness judge cannot punish anyone during the enquiry time, He can punish only at the time of Final Judgement.

    Let me know if u need any info as i am big fan of this MUKTHA.

34. Things are getting very intersting , CSP is giving diffrent angles to all witnesses. I think he will make Inspector ranganath to literally cry and also to Driver of Shivakrishna Desai. Looking fwd for cross examination of these two characters !!!

35. Namaskara,
    Police Constable Nagendrappa’s court scene was very good & touching. Acting of that person was very good.
    What you guys say ?

    Vandanegalu
    Praveen

36. Namaskara Praveen,
    Thanks for the clarifications. But if it is a blood fountain, why nothing has happened for his trousers lower part? One more clarification – why the home minister of the state (Mr. Rane) is always present in the court…? Does he have no works to do?
    Vandanegalu,

37. Namaskara Sanjay,
    I Googled for muktha, and found your blog here. Glad to see so many people sharing their views on a blockbuster :)serial Muktha. I do intermittently watch this serail. But since a few days [after the court scenes have started] i am trying to regularly watch. Sitaram is simply the GREAT!. His serials are very very interesting, informative and a concern for society. The last scene of Yesterday’s episode was so emotional….unfortunately such ill treatment of constables by higher officers happens in reality!!
    NANNA CHOCHHALA blog ILLIGE NILLISUVE,
    Sanjeev

38. Thumbs up for Nagendrappa’s witness scene!!

    Good twist to the trial by bringing CBI officer to the prosecution questioning much earlier – Some food for thought to ponder over the weekend while waiting for the Monday episode 😀

39. I kindly request you to give the email address of Muktha Serial which is telecast on ETV.

    Regards
    Sbshetty

40. Can anybody tell me where can I get the title song of the Mukha Serial and the wallpaper of the serial..

    Hats of to TNS not only muktha but all the series TNS has directed so far..it been a great show of all times.

    Regards
    Karthik

41. Actually I wanted to record the song and encode it into MP3 and put it here. But the only thing that stops me is to find out if I can get permsission for it as I’d like to avoid violating copyrights. [After all one of the core ideas of the serial is about integrity! 🙂 ] If anyone gets in touch with Mr. Seetharam and asks on my behalf, please let me know. Maybe someone who can get to attend a samvaada.

42. Sanjay, this post of yours has turned into a forum for Mukta fans! Why don’t you write a mail to muktha@bhoomika.net and provide this link to them? Even if one person from their team reads it, it will be worth it!

    Keshav, I also had that doubt of the blood on the driver’s uniform. But I think we need to be patient… the court case has still a long way to go, and TNS might bring it up later.

43. hi shruthi, our doubts were clarified in yesterday’s episode. We really enjoyed the cross examination of CBI IO. We were virtually clapping and jumping with joy. We should appreciate the efforts he puts in collecting the various datas required for a particular scene. Well done again TNS and good luck. Keshav

44. Would it not be a good idea to put a brief on what happened in everyday’s episode for those who missed it.

45. Guys, Please plan to place the story of the episode for the day.We will really enjoy reading it. I am in US and I am missing the serial very much.

46. That’s an excellent idea… and if not a brief, maybe a few of the best dialogues atleast. Travelling from Electronics City to Malleswaram, sometimes I end up missing some episodes myself… but surely anyone (even I will try) to can try to summarise some highlights. Btw do you have any favourite dialogues from the past episodes so far?

    Shruti, I’ve written to that mail id several times, but have got no response so far 🙁

47. I missed out the Jan 9th episode wherein CSP cross examines CBI due to some problem in Cable Circuit. I lost my temper shouted at the Service Provider at a pitch of my voice. Thatz the kind of effect ‘Muktha’ has created in our mind.

48. Hi friends, We going out of staion for about one week and miss crucial parts of Muktha, Is there any way can anybody record the episodes from tomorrow till 20th and make CD.
    Wish I had mobile number of Seetharam atleast we could have asked him on what will happen for next one week !!!, If anybody can record the court scenes pls do it and let us know through this blog.
    Muktha makes all Kannadigas real proud of the great talent of Seetharam

49. heh heh Prasanna 😀 actually there’s one line wrt this in the original post…

    His tranquility in the most adverse circumstances is something I find pretty inspiring; I’d even say he’s a kind of role model.

    Btw my doDDamma was a keen follower of the famous Erle Stanley Gardner’s books (lawyer stories) and she says that this is on par with that level 🙂

50. Today I found this URL, really good…………..
    Please pass this link to ur friends (muktha fans).

51. Keshav, your point…

    One more clarification – why the home minister of the state (Mr. Rane) is always present in the court…? Does he have no works to do?

    …was actually raised by CSP today 😎 and he continues and states that Mr. Rane wants to monitor the case to make sure nothing happens to him because he is involved. CSP questions why Mr. Rane came to the site 2 days in advance, and accuses him of having known about the impending murder and wanting to ensure details of all arrangements.

    Only thing is that the objection raised that it was an irrelevant point to be asked only to Mr. Rane was sustained.

52. Hey Kumar!!!!

    Infact am coming to chennai from Hyderabad to my mavanavara mane for shankaranthi. Other than my wife and me no one watches muktha over there. Let me try and do different.

53. Hi This is Roopa,

    I feel any serial under the Sitaram Banner is good.Have you watched Malebillu,which is telecast is the afternoon at 2:30.Believe me I love that kid who acts in that serial(ANIKETH) he is soooo cute and it is amazing to see such a small child acts so maturedly.He understands the situation and shows expression.Sitaram has to encourage and promote this child he has fantastic talent.If anyone gets a chance please convery this message to Sri Sitaram and the child’s parents.I a great fan of that kid,not only me everyone loves him.I think his original name is SACHIN BHARADWAJ.:)

54. Hi Sanjay and veryone on this forum,
    This is Roopa again,
    Oops I am sorry ,Is this only a Mukta forum,I thought i could talk about any Sitaram’s serials.I see nobody is replying to my post. 🙁

55. No problem Roopa, this is an open blog and there are no formal restrictions 😀 but I guess deviations from Muktha will kind of dilute the topic.

    I for one haven’t really seen Malebillu except the trailers/ads – from your description I think I better check it out sometime – though it looks doubtful if it comes only in the afternoon. You would probably get a better response at sampada.net or the Kannada group on Orkut

56. Hi SAnjay
    I cant get an ORKUT ID as I have to be reffered by some one who has an ORKUT ID,and SAmpada.net wont work on my PC as I have IE my system. :(sob sob PLEASEEE dont say deviations will dilute the TOPIC 🙂

57. allrite I sent you one. I already said it 😉 but what you want to say is definitely your wish… there’s no moderation here (except for spam).

58. Hi,
    I googled and foundout this blog.
    Its interesting to see how many ppl like muktha.
    I initially thought i’m the only ‘crazy’ lover of this 9 o’clock mystery called Muktha, but this blog is proving me wrong. And Yes, I’m really feeling proud to read all the comments here.

    I’ll give you two instances of fan flair of Muktha.

    1. My Brother-in-law who never used to watch any serial, and being broughtup in Chennai, had more inclanation to Tamil. Because of my sister’s persistance he watched one of the episodes and he is now a regular watcher of the show. He returns back everyday by 9 to be sure not to miss the serial. One more thing about him : He is an advocate by profession. When I querried him about the court scenes, he said these were really fascinating and like reality show case of the court trials.

    2. My cousin who is an engineer in Sharjah, has a servent maid at home hailing from Srilanka. My cousin says this maid is now addicted to this serial called Muktha. Last month my cousin with whole family visited India, and i herd her saying ‘the maid was more worried to miss Muktha than missing the children, or she was not happy to go home, missing Muktha’.!!!!

    Truely addictive. Hats off to Seetharam and Co.

    My favourite scene among the court scenes was the cross examination of “Nagendrappa”. It was wittty, touching, real, superb and excellent.
    Keep the good work going.

    – Srik.

59. wow! Sanjay, your blog is becoming real popular, eh! 😉

    Glad to see discussion about Kannada serials extending to this extent.

60. dear TNS sir

    the serial is good the concept n everything is really good
    but

    its nothing compared to mayamruga n manvanthara
    in muktha u start some story but end it abruptly for instance wat happend to madhavi paltel’s husband? where did that naxalite friend of her’s go?
    where is her brother-in-law?

    wat happend to nanjunda’s under world don watever that guys name is………

    he pays back the rich guy wit some1’s money right that person turns out to b dead wat happend there???

    y.y.y.y.y.y did jai jagdesh come in?

    plz plz plz stop the nagging of arundathi n manmohan its getting boring

    i seriously expected more cases in this serial but R U ENDING THE SERIAL WIT THE COMPLETION OF THIS CASE???????

    plz dont do that there wil b so many questions unanswered
    this is not good sir

    and in one of the samvada u said u choose only one family n gav them all the trouble coz u could not manage many families but in maya mruga u managed 3 families very wel n gave each starting a beautiful ending

    i would seriously like to watch mayamruga again than to watch muktha

    but i’m addicted to the way u do ur cases sokeep up the good work
    v really really appricite this effort of ur’s

    hope i did not anger u but this was my perception

61. hpn, maybe you could add some data instead of metadata. Anyway this has nothing to do with the popularity of my blog but only Muktha 😀

    vinay, hate to disappoint you but in the latest Samvaada Ravi Belegare did state that muktha will end the end of February – but with the promise of a BIG BANG 🙂

62. metadata? heh! 😛

63. I didn’t get chance to watch Mayamruga, but was big fan of Manvanthara, I agree with Vinay, Manvanthara had so much controlled story flow. No doubt that court scenes from Muktha match with Manvanthara, but not the story.
    Every character, every scene was so fantastic.
    It was flawless serial. But said so I believe there is a reason for ending story’s and some characters abruptly. If you all watched story from beginning, Seetharam initially took very controversial subjects as his story line like globalization, CET issue, Naxalism. The story would have definately caused embarassment to government. I donot know what happened in background, but definately seetnaram is forced to change the story. In CET case it was direct government bashing. All the events shown were exactly matching with what happened for 2 years in Karnataka.
    I greatly appreciate Seetharam for pulling back (it is not easy though). That is why story is weakned little bit. Hope in future story gets stabilized.

64. Hi everybody – I don’t know about Manvanthara, but I used to watch Mayamruga occasionally – I thought the story was good, but I used to find some of the female leads very irritating – they were so good and pious that I felt it was artificial. And they used to speak in artificial tones. In Muktha, I don’t see that artificiality – I think TNS has matured in his direction, and so has his cast. Also, here there are many grey characters – not black, not white – with a mixture of both goodness and badness – and that is how it is in real life.

    When I heard that Muktha is ending in Feb, I felt really sad! What will I do at 9 pm everyday??!! 🙂

65. Yeah that’s really true Shruti about the grey characters… makes it a more realistic serial!

    hmm offlate its really been a strange twist to the story… the trecherous lawyer ‘trainee’ who’s got all the info out… how could CSP be so naive, we have to wonder. Anyway he gets out of the mess today. I hope to make it by 9 PM, last time I took the 7:15 bus I reached home only at 9:20 🙁

66. Shruthi,
    After end of the Muktha in Feb, there will be serial by TNS.
    (I think 9:00PM to 9:30PM is alloted for TNS in ETV !!)

67. Sanjay, you are right – how can CSP bring an unknown person into his confidence that too in such an important case? Anyway, I am waiting to see how that guy gets caught. I cannot bear to see that triumphant look on Rane and Chhabria’s faces.
    Kumara Gowda, Really? That’s good! Though frankly, I don’t want to get addicted to another serial 😀

68. I too agree with some of you who have wondered how CSP could trust a trainee lawyers so easily in such a mission critical case even though he was accompanied by Purushotham.

    I think myself and my husband are getting emotionally attached to this serial that I hate to watch episodes when I see a triumphant smile on Rane / Chabria or Shivraj Hegde’s face. I can not stand the character of Sharat Suryavanshi as well.

69. After seeing TNS’s serial every one of us are becoming as sharp as him. Even me and my wife jumped into conclusion that the Sale deed of the land shud be the work of CSP’s deputy becoz of the tracherous smile that he gives when CSP is foxed.

    Its really sad to hear that Muktha will be ending by Feb. That will be an ample opportunity for my wife to occupy that time for watching Tamil Serial.
    :(:(

70. This junior lawyer twist is keeping me restless..Damn..I can’t concentrate on my work at office 😉

    TNS has to be the all time best when it comes to making thought provoking, social awareness masterpiece in the electronic media (yes, including all languages/regions) where 99% is BS anyway. Now, if we can only go out and vote and be concious about whom we choose to represent us..oh well.

    The optimistic thing is the HUGE turnout one sees for his ‘samvaada’ especially women. As a sanskrit saying says ‘educate women and society automatically becomes much better). Empowering women with education and responsibility is the key. Yes, our history has had such wonderful times.

    My wishlist is to have a society wherein you have Madhavi Patel as your Public officer (whatever the office may be), Shivakrishna Desai as your head of state and Gowri as your loving sister.

    PS: My only concern is if TNS dropped Naxal, MNC and globalization issues because of pressure from political/commercial/sponsor/ETV establishment. That’d be contrary to what he claims about switching to ETV from Doordarshana because of tied hands when it comes to choosing issues.

    Anyways…

71. I’ve never seen CSP so depressed as he was yesterday after cross verfication of Brahmachar, even though he knows those are false cert still he is helpless

72. Yes, I was even more depressed than CSP. In fact, I got up and went out of the room and did not watch the last few minutes at all. I really could not bear it. I feel like slapping that junior advocate 🙂 I think I am not going to watch until that fellow gets caught!

73. Sanjay, what’s the comment limit of each post? :p 😉

74. Who wouldn’t get depressed when he is being blindsided on the facts he is 100% sure? I am sure we’ve all been in such situations.
    I am not a big fan of his acting but TNS’s yesterday’s episode’s acting was one of his best, if not the best. The background aalaap (fayaz khan) was simply amazing. The aalaap had the power of bringing (emotional) tears.

75. Aahh! Some party at office yesterday (18th Jan) that I had to attend and thus missed a crutial day at court! I was worried day-before itself when the cross-examination didn’t end that day and I knew I would miss it 🙁

    Just goes to show that, how the serial and its court’s sessions have been so gripping. Its one of the most common issues discussed in house-hold and offices these days…!

    Truly remarkable effort from TNS and team…!

    Although I like Muktha a lot, as some one pointed out, it isn’t in the same league as Mayamruga! Few of the reasons may be the following:
    – As some one pointed out, abrupt ending of few stories like Naxalism, Madhavi Patel’s husband, ex-boyfriend issue etc.
    – dont like the way dialogues are repeated over and over at Arundhati-Gowri’s house.
    – Every body’s name has to be taken in full and always!!! like ‘Madhavi Patel’, ‘Sandhya Mangalavade’, ‘Indira arunachalamurthy’ and so on… Its so unnatural and irritating!
    – Arundathi-Manmohan issue is the weakest link in current days of the serial, I guess.
    – I personally don’t like his arguments on globalizations! TNS seems to be against all MNC’s which is hard to imagine. Anyways discussion on globalization itself can be another topic or a blog!

    Yes, Muktha will be ending soon in Feb/Mar and TNS is going to do a movie again! Hope its turns out to be good again (like matadana) but serials is what we like him to do, not sure what others feel.

76. Hi guys,:{
    I was very much depressed after seeing yesterday’s episode. The acting of TNS was wonderful. In fact, I am so emotionally attached to this serial, I didn’t get sleep yesterday and was thinking about what will happen next. Like Shruthi, I also can’t enjoy (but I’ll definately watch!!) the serial until CSP comes to know about that junior lawyer. What I would like to see in the future episode is, CSP coming to know about this fellow…..keeping quite…..and misguiding him for the future cross examinations. Hope that will happen soon.
    Bye,
    Keshav

77. …TNS’s yesterday’s episode’s acting was one of his best, if not the best. The background aalaap (fayaz khan)

    Man yesterday we had a major code review meeting till midnight… this happens while working with US clients… and looks like I really missed something…

    Anyway should be able to catch up today…

    CSP coming to know about this fellow…..keeping quite…..and misguiding him for the future…

    Keshav’s red herring hypothesis sounds interesting… another guess would be that he digs up the falsehood behind the evidences.

    Shruti, the comments are just entries in a database, so there’s no limit afaik.

78. Today we might see CSP Smiling and his usual Vyangya maathu over any false evidence given

79. CSP has a BIG doubt on his Junior now !!!! You can see that y’day @ ending !!! I Guess now the story has got a new twist,Rane yeneda balege Rane ne bilthane ansutte, Een anthira ?

80. what praveen is telling is true. CSP makes his Jr to believe that he is not at all doubting him by assuring him that since he was family friend of purushottam.

    Today will be something new apart from court scene and usual arundhati’s monologues either with manmohan or Jai jagadeesh (forgot his name!!!!!!!!)

81. This arundathi-jai jagadeesh thing is really rubbing me off! manmohan-new girl friend story or gowri’s new venture stories are better for “fill the rest of time with other storyline” concept.

82. Hi All,

    Aparna has come back after a long break, Dear TNS please settle your Ego issues with aparan.

    I heard that in next two months Muktha coming to an end, I’m wondring there are so many new topics introduced in the recent past, TNS will you be able to cover all these ? :

    1. Jaijagdees intro..
    2. Gowri’s reaserch..
    3. Nanjunda’s court case..
    4.Manmohan is job less..are you makning him as a CM ?
    5. TNS why are you not addressing our nation main issues like ” Child Labour”, ” Primary education”….bring the awareness please..

    Thank you,

    Girish.

83. Girishavare , take it lightly afterall its a serial and a mode of entertainment and he has done his best when compared to Saas-Bahus tears or Father-Son fighting or Boothas Prethas, …….. Serials. He has his own compulsions, i remember when the muktha started in 2002 Dec ( if not wrong) ETV wanted TNS to make a serial which is about 800 episodes, but TNS insisted that he cudn’t go beyond 450 but has been able to keep the viewers gripped even after 518 episodes. Which is remarkable.

84. Hope in the future TNS would address the issues of “Child Labour” and “Primary Education”. He has thrown enough light on the other issues like “CET exams/councelling”, “Globalization & Liberlization”, “Naxalism”, “Fashion & Modelling”, etc., as well aspects of human relations.
    The last scense of the yesterdays serial, where in TNS shares his disappointment with Jr, I initial thought that he wanted someone to Emphatically listen [His wife instead of supporting him gives a judgement that he is so and so..] but at the end felt like TNS wanted to make sure that Jr is not a traitor….

85. Hi,
    I enjoy watching mukta a lot and is it really true that Mukta will be finishing soon?

    CSP is such an amazing character so Seetharam, I say Hats off!

86. Yes Amruta,

    As per a press release (http://www.viggy.com/news/current_t_n_seetharam.asp), the serial will end in few months.

    All good things must come to an end! 🙁

    Regarsd,
    Chaitanya

87. CSP has a BIG doubt on his Junior now !!!! You can see that y’day @ ending !!!

    Yeah Praveen, that slight change of expression of CSP’s face at the very last moment was very interesting. I think he would’ve observed the looks on the junior’s face while speaking about his suspicions and ideas. My mom felt that CSP asked him to get something to eat so that he could follow him to see what he would do. But my guess is that its more likely that he’s going to have a look at the junior’s belongings – particularly have a look at his cellphone to see his outgoing numbers.

    In yesterday’s episode I also liked the relationship of Aparna and CSP – the fact that inspite of CSP’s initial annoyance, Aparna dosen’t take it personally (atleast at first) but continues to try and help him out. They both talk openly and objectively even about things that are against each other – and listen and acknowledge each other as well. I think that’s really a mature relationship… though of course after a while it deteriorates and they end up quarelling anyway 😉 but give each other the space to be alone.

    FYI there was an ad at the end of the serial of another ಸಂವಾದ (samvada) this Sunday at 19:00 on E TV.

88. Serves me right for not sitting and watching with patience – I missed the expression on CSP’s face at the last moment. I was irritated because I thought CSP trusts the junior so much that he is confiding in him, that I just walked out and refused to watch. My husband kept calling me and telling me to watch, then he caught the expression and told me about it – and I was thinking “Chhey.. what did I do!” 🙂
    Yes, Sanjay, I agree with you, I liked the way CSP and his wife spoke so analytically. Pity they fought, though 🙂

89. The last expression on CSP’s face was really wonderful, BTW where did u guys get those smileys ???/

90. hi Shruthi,
    Why did you miss the last scene…? Infact, it was irritating that CSP was telling everything to his junior. I was expecting him to pretend as if nothing has happened and misguide him for the next witness. Very soon I would like to see Rane and Co sweating in the court (particularly Sandhy….very irritating character). We hope the last expression of CSP was genuine and has some doubt in the junior.
    Bye,

91. Prasanna, have a look at this link for smileys: What Text Do I Type to Make Smileys?

92. Sanjay,

    Man, this is indeed becoming a hot bed of actions!!! Good serial and nice to read so many comments. I hate to admit it, but i am also watching this!! just cant believe that I would watch serials one day….. vaisagiro lakshana ade antha ankondidde…. 🙂

93. Hi All, My Name is Ramprasad. I am working as a Tech Supp. Enggr at Hewlett-Packard, Bangalore and I am a Stage artiste by hobby. Besides acting in kannada plays, I have also acted in a couple of serials (Single Episodes). I just came to know about this forum while I was searching on the web. I am too happy to see that you poeple (youngsters) are so much intereseted in kannada serials. I have met TNS a coupla times and found a great person in him. He is a bit reserve kinda person and does not let any other person or the issues to bother his work while he is in the Office. So, be a bit cautious while you people meet him (if thats the case). But he is a great personality. I like him very much as a human being. If you want his office address, – House name is Vishwas, Guruthaman Part Road, Basavanagudi, Bangalore- The road just next to Central Bank of India which is next to the BHS and Vijaya college in SouthEnd road, Bangalore. (You will not find the BHOOMIKA CREATIONS board anywhere there). They have taken a house for Rent to run their office. Hope, this would be helpful information for those who wants to meet him personally. You can mail me on raam.prasaad@rediffmail.com

94. Turns out the last expression on CSP’s face (on Thu, Jan 19) was simply general scepticism and not directed towards the junior. Actually as a viewer we know the situation and its easy to guess what CSP should’ve been watching for, etc. But actually putting oneself in CSP’s shoes, I think CSP has blind faith in the junior, and this is acting as a barrier to him – so he isn’t really bothering about noticing any giveways at all, even though being an otherwise astute lawyer! The junior’s request to ‘allow CSP to win sometimes, otherwise he will get doubt on me’ was a pretty diabolically smart move which will definitely make things harder for CSP.

95. I have been following Mukta again after the court scenes started.

    I was following it very closely from the beginning, but really got fed up when family of Nanjunda, Purushottam et al was portrayed as a sort of a direct descendant of Satya Harishchandra! Let’s admit, no one can and will be as selfless (and sometimes stupid as well) as this family has been portrayed to be, in these days! It’s just impossible to survive in this world with such attitudes or outlook. When it became a bit too much, I stopped watching the serial totally.

    Now that the court scene has started, I’ve started watching the same. This time, Mr.TNS has created a twist in such a manner that is almost an antithesis to his characteristic brilliance in rendering this serial. Having portrayed himself as a brilliant lawyer, he has made it difficult for the viewers to accept him as being someone so gullible who has trusted the son of an MLA who happens to be an ally of Minister Rane. The reasoning given by this ‘junior’ and his subsequent ‘leaking’ of the inside information is also shown in a less credible way.

    If anyone can convey a message to Mr.TNS to ‘straighten’ this unwanted twist, it would bring the brilliant serial back on track.

    Regards,
    Ramesh.

96. I agree with Ramesh when he says that it is difficult to believe that CSP is so gullible, coz he has been portrayed as brilliant. But if this twist had not been brought about, it would be underestimating the intelligence and crooked-mindedness of Rane and Sharath Suryavamshi. Just imagine, CSP goes on discrediting all their witnesses, and will they just sit back and watch? They would surely do something. I was worried that they would think of a plan to kill CSP, but after discarding that option, they came up with this – planting one of their men in his camp. So that way, the move is pretty credible, but yes, it is difficult to accept CSP being so trusting.

97. Killing CSP ??????? I guess it will be END of MUKTHA !!! So they wont go with this thought but sure there were attack/attempt to kill on Eshwara Prasad in Manvantara

98. Today Matte Inspector Ranganath ge neer isiluthare !!!!

99. Praveen, yes, thats what I said… if you remember, Rane tells Shivraj Hegde, “CSP na mugisbidabeku” but Hegde dissuades him and after that they come up with this plan of planting Satyaprakash as CSP’s junior. So basically, I was trying to tell Ramesh, though it is unpleasant, this twist is probably required, because otherwise, it will be unnatural if Rane just keeps quite.
    Inspector Ranganath ge neeru ilisthara? Heege Satyaprakash yellanu leak madtha hodre… nanageno samshaya… 🙁 Anyway let’s hope for the best 🙂

100. Shruthi aware

     did you see the Muktha Samvada yest ???? TNS was telling that Mukthada anthya Sukhamayavagi aguthade. Adakke Samshaya padodu bekagilla yaake andre SATYAMEVA JAYATHE.

     TNS clearly told the more twists in the court scenes the more TRP would the serial gain.

101. Hi Prasanna… gotthu, gotthu… definitely it will be a happy ending.. but I was refering to Praveen’s statement that “TODAY matte inspector ranganath ge neer ilisthare”… so what i meant was TODAY aagade irabahudu.. but not to worry.. everything will be alright sometime or the other.

     Phew! I seem to be an expert at expressing myself wrong 🙂 I am spending most of my time trying to say what I really mean!

102. How can Seetharam Sir ignore his Junior lawyer for the second time..?
     and it is not fair for Arundathi to go and ask for loan from Annapurnamma, she is taking too much of liberty….

103. Shruthi, we did get the general idea 🙂 – everybody ends up in expressing themselves wrongly once in a way, but I believe you did better to have made an attempt to express oneself openly, rather than just stay silent to be ‘safe’ 😉

     Well in the ಸಂವಾದ, exchanging opinions/suggestions/speculations were fine but I felt there was no point in people getting so emotionally involved with the characters as to ask the writer to make this or that particular thing happen …why not just accept the story as it unfolds 😀 After all ಸತ್ಯಮೇವ ಜಯತೆ 8)

     Anyway even as of yesterday, CSP definitely seemed to be down and out without any hopes at all! I can’t see how the situation might change now. Maybe he finds something in the video tapes (from a private TV reporter, showing the scene) that he took for studying…

104. My guess is, CSP will now sense about his junior and probably will not scold him, instead will trick him and rane/suryavamshi by giving all the wrong details..!!??

     But if it just happens just once more…. audience will have the terrible ‘mai parachikolluva’ situation like in any other K-serials! 🙂

     Regards,
     Chaitanya

105. “Mai parachikolluva” sensation 🙂 🙂 🙂 Hats off, Chaitanya! Had not realised that this phrase would so aptly describe K-serials 🙂

     Yes Chaitanya, I agree with you. Hope it doesn’t stretch too much.. the audience loves to hate Rane and co., and so we would love to see them all sweating.

106. Hi Chaitanya,
     I was searching for a suitable pharse to express my irritation yesterday. “Mai parachikolluva” suits very well. It is high time now that CSP gets ‘gnanodaya’ (hope I spelled it correctly)and takes corrective action. Otherwise, this will backfire TNS and Muktha.

     Hope to see the typical ‘vyangya’ smile again on CSP’s face soon.

107. Muktha is our #1 serial. Story line and excellent acting keeps the whole family engrossed for 30 minutes and we watch the serial without batting our eyelids. Want to point out a few things in last few episodes! How can a veteran lawyer(like CSP) lose control, when things don’t go as expected. Also hard to believe a chanakya and sharp lawyer(CSP) take someone as an assistant at a critical juncture in a high profile case, without any background checks! Tell him every thing including strategy and arguments. No famous lawyer will do this! CSP has been rated low even by kids in the last few episodes. Serial has always been trying to show reality to viewers. Don’t get us wrong and we are with you and we will never miss the episodes. We don’t mind going through some pain to enjoy the pleasure. With Regards

108. This is a good forum… We liked it a lot…

     It is almost impossible to believe that CSP can go soooo completely wrong on his junior. His wife even gave an indication to keep a watch on his junior…. OR is it …”even a genius can do mistakes”… we agree that twist is important to a story…. But this is getting too much… People may lose interest if this continues…. Wake up CSP….

109. CSP wants to show that keeping a Jr who keeps ditching him every time and also all odds against him like tampered police records, false sale deeds,… etc still he is able to score a victory over Rane and Chaabria.

     Audiences love to hate Rane and even Rane loves being hated as per the Samvada Statement the other day

110. Dear Friends, My name is Murthy and from now on I would like to be a part of this discussion.

     MR T.N Seetharam is truly a great intellectual. It is really a very hard task to keep the audiences captivating for such a long period.

     I was quite lucky that I happened to see him in my friend’s marriage (Seetharam is a close associate of my friend’s family). Being such a great person that he is, he came to us and talked to us for a while before leaving for the day. Also he is very handsome looking guy.

     Court scenes was very captivating and still it is. But the entry of CSP’s junior has spoilt the party. There are 2 instances which shows things are backfiring to CSP only after the entry of his junior. So CSP should take the cue and should hand out severe punishment to his junior.

     Also Suryavamshi, and CSP’s junior looks very irritating.

     Also, Sandya Mangalvade was over acting during the episodes in which she was involved. Her acting was not at all natural. It was quite irritating. Mele helidha haage “Mai Parachikolluva haage iththu”

     Also, Arudhathi intervening to help the actor is some what odd, when it was not asked for. Even Arundhathi does a bit of overacting at times.

     Hopefully ivaththu maaya CSP avaru thamma junior na kukruthya vannu kandi hidihu, thakka shikshe kodisuvarendu nambiruththeve.

     Dhanyvaadagalu
     Murthy

111. HI,

     Guess it’s not just me who feels that Muktha is well on the verge of backfiring on Mr.Seetharam. If this kind of twist was felt really necessary by the director, he should not have shown the hinnele to the entry of Satyaprakash. Hope he realizes soon that the audience love his serials anyways… He need not resort to such “twists” to boost the serials TRP’s (which are high anyways), or to extend the serial……… What do u say????????

112. ದೂರದಿಂದ ಜೀವ ಹಿಂಡುತಿದೆ ಕಾಣದಂತ ಹಸ್ತ ಸಾಲ್ದು ಅಂತ ಹತ್ರದಿಂದ ಯಾಕೆ TNSಅವರು ಯಾಕೆ ಹಿಂಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ??? 😉

     Nevertheless I wholeheartedly agree particularly with these comments above…

     take it lightly afterall its a serial and a mode of entertainment and he has done his best when compared to Saas-Bahus tears or Father-Son fighting or Boothas Prethas (Prasanna Sastry, Hyderabad)

     Don’t get us wrong and we are with you (Ravi-Pooja-Pavan-Manjula)

     MR T.N Seetharam is truly a great intellectual. It is really a very hard task to keep the audiences captivating for such a long period. (Murthy )

113. Hi, Interesting to know the kind of viewership TNS has managed ! I thought I was the only MUKTHA BUFF till the time I googled for MUKTHA !

     While the recent twist in the story depicts CSP in an unusually TIGHT SPOT, I can bet TNS has something brilliant in his mind which takes the serial to a newr height !

     Manushya avanu hogo hadiyalli baro kashtagallanu pariharisuttha konege jaya kanthanalla, aa majane bere ! sukavagi sigo jaya, I feel is not as rewarding. I think that’s what the message I get.

114. Being born and brought up in a family which migrated from Mysore to Mumbai 1921, I really feel proud of our Mukhta Characters and look forward very eagerly everyday for each episode.In fact the mechanical life is becoming more mechanical since our family has become addicted to watching Muktha.Very well done CSP,Rane,Chabria, Madhvi Patel and all others.
     Please keep it up and keep us engrossed
     Once again Cheers!!!!! to CSP and all Muktha characters

115. ಇವತ್ತಿನ ಸಾರಾಂಶ: ರಾಣೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅವರ ರಾಜಕಾರಿಣಿಗಳ ಜೊತೆಗೆ CSP ಮನೆಗೆ ಹೋಗಿದ್ದರು. CSPಯವರ ಹೆಂಡತಿ ಶೀಲ ಮಾತ್ರ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದರು. ಅವರಿಗೆ ರಾಣೆಯವರು ಒಂದು ಶಿವಕ್ರಿಷ್ಣ ದೇಸಾಯಿಯವರ ಜಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ electionsನಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಂತುಕೋಳ್ಳಲು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಬೆಣ್ಣೆ ಹಚ್ಚಿ ಪ್ರೋತ್ಸಾಹಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ 😉 …ಕೊನೆಗೆ ಹೋಗುವಾಗ CSPಮೇಲೆ ಚಾಡಿಹೇಳುಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾರೆ.

     ಆಮೇಲೆ CSP ಮನೆಗೆ ಬಂದಾಗ ಶೀಲ ಇದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಅವರ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ ಕೇಳುತ್ತಾರೆ, ಆದರೆ ಅವರು ನಿಟ್ಟುಸುರು ಬಿಟ್ಟು “ಯೇನಾದ್ರು ಮಾಡ್ಕೊ” ಅಂತ ಹೇಳ್ತಾರೆ… ಶೀಲ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ವಿಚಾರಿಸಿದಾಗ CSP ಮನ ಬಿಚ್ಚಿ ಮಾತಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ – ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ನಿರಾಶಾವಾದಿಯ ಹಂಚಿನಲ್ಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರ ಆತ್ಮವಿಶ್ವಾಸವನ್ನೇ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ 🙁 ಯೆಲ್ಲಾ ಅಸತ್ಯಪ್ರಕಾಶ್ … ಅಲ್ಲ ಛೆ… ಸತ್ಯಪ್ರಕಾಶಿಗೆ ಹೇಳದಿದ್ದರು, ಅವರ mind blank ಆಗೋಗಿ ಬಾಕಿ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳೆಲ್ಲಾ ಮರೆತಿದ್ದರು… ನಾಳೆ ಬಹಳ ಮುಖ್ಯವಾದ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ – post-morten ಮಾಡಿರುವ doctor – ಅವರಿಗೆ ಕೇಳಬೇಕಿರುವ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳೆಲ್ಲಾ ಮರೆತಿದ್ದರು…

     Today it was really involving, I really empathise with CSP in his feelings of defeat and dejection… can totally relate to him as I’ve been in similar hopeless situations. Anyway, ಪರಿವರ್ತನೆ ಜಗದ ನಿಯಮ… so ಯೇನಾಗುತ್ತೋ ನೋಡೋಣ… 🙂

116. thankyou Chaitanya,

     I had a doubt and wanted to know
     I feel bad that it’s ending 🙁

     Amruta

117. I don’t think that people will lose interest in watching Muktha just because his Junior is passing on his points to Rane… they’ll actually be MORE interested in watching because they’ll want to see how CSP will experience this fall in his arguments…

     Don’t you agree, would you have rathered him to die?

     But I do understand…
     I feel like pulling out my hair sometimes when CSP doesn’t listen to his wife when she’s telling him that she doesn’t trust Satyaprakash…

     Does anybody know where I can get a good-sized picture of T.N Seetaram on the internet?

     🙂 😀

118. Namaskara,

     In Mayamruga and Manvantara T.N.S. played a lawyer’s role and always was going in a positive direction of success and the opposition would always get clean-bowled.

     But in reality, when things do go wrong, how do we recoup ourselves, is what T.N.S. is trying to show us.

     We used to play Suprabhatam songs in the morning until we began to watch Mukta which has taken us to such a level of curiosity that we many days watch Mukta first thing in the morning…We record Mukta and watch it the next morning because of the time zone we live in. My wife used to watch Mukta before she went to work.

     In one of the samvada it was mentioned that this is his last serial if it is true then we are at a loss… Basavaraaju iddana mark maadade irali…

     That’s all your honour 🙂

119. Sanjay,
     I am not able to read what you have written. I guess, u hv used the Kannada fonts.

120. Hi all, 🙂

     We really like the way T.N.S. and his team pick the names for places and things like:

     1. Gautamma Katte
     2. Satyana Katte
     3. Sudukoppa 🙂
     4. Hemagiri
     5. Phalguni Nadi
     6. Jalakantheshwara
     7. Lethanon 🙂
     8. Chinarika
     9. Kempu Sanjivini Soppu
     10.Divine Drops Co.

     Though these may not be real, they have left a scene in our mind that we feel we should visit these places 🙂

     In one of the samvada, T.N.S. was honoured with a garland, at that moment I felt like I was being honoured because the issues and ideas that he brings up in his T.V serials are similiar to the ones I have 🙂 The only difference is that he can put it in this form of media and I can not. 🙂

     I have watched many serials in different languages but none of them make us think… 😉

     This serial has not only made us think but it has created an awareness among people about these issues. 🙂

121. I really don’t like Arundhati character and the pointless conversations she has…

122. Keshav, was just trying out my hand at writing in Kannada… you needn’t really install any fonts to view the Kannada script since its in Unicode… have a look at this or this. Yes Anusuya, the names almost sound like very familiar places now 🙂 …kind of like Krakozhia in Terminal (Tom Hanks)

123. sir, CSP sir plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz don”t quit the from case we want you only to continue the case plzz you only continue the case and plzzz put your junior of the serial we beg u sir again plzzzzzzz don”t quit. you should only continue the case and RANE & CHABRIYA should be punished

124. Mr.CSP
     Rquest you to please continue and do not withdraw at this junture.Please use your skills to get an adjournment and revert with a bang.
     Good luck to you

125. Hey Ravindra, if this is the last serial of TNS, we should persuade him not to do so and ask him to make more serials. Yes Anusuya, the names are really wonderful and sounds like pure kannada names. To honor TNS, we should name any upcoming places in karnataka with those names used by Mr.TNS in the serial.
     After yesterday’s episode, TNS has kept us on tenter hooks as to what will happen in the next episode. He is much more talented than any of the celebrated film fraternity persons in kannada.
     Personally I feel, CSP should realise the evil designs of his junior and see to it that he should be severly punished.
     Also, the Ravi Belegere is an excellent choice to the judge’s role.
     But what ever CSP will come back with a bang soon and come out truimphs.

126. To honor TNS, we should name any upcoming places in karnataka with those names used by Mr.TNS in the serial.

     Murthy, you’ve given a really nice idea for a name for my new house, we’ve been thinking for quite a while – thanks! 🙂

     Btw next Sunday ಸಂವಾದ is at 10 AM.

127. Hey Sanjay, how about “Phalguni Nivasa or Phalguni Nilaya”. Any of them would make a good name i guess. Also do not forget to invite all of us grihapravesh ;-)). Just kidding.

128. I think Muktha is going out of gears now, especially from last one week. It is becoming pain to watch each episode. Dont know why TNS is doing like this, We like to watch CSP argueing confidently in court making all witnesses to sweat and cry, NOw CSP himself is crying and demotivated, which nobody wants to watch. I think this high levels of success of Muktha is making TNS to give twists like this which will do no good to Muktha. Hope we will start jumping and shout ”Thats all your honour” along with CSP after great argument.

129. I find it hard to agree with “I think this high levels of success of Muktha is making TNS to give twists like this which will do no good to Muktha.” – I think TNS dosen’t tailor his serial depending on success or failure – the script is probably something that was written long ago by ಕಾಣದಂತ ಹಸ್ತ 🙂

     Anyway there’s the saying “pride comes before a fall” – and earlier CSP was proud of being on a winning streak, and now he’s fallen! I feel this not really a twist but simply makes it more life-like. Honestly speaking, we don’t always win in life, right? One can escape into fantasy movies where one takes consolation in atleast some hypothetical hero’s victory! 😀 But I’d say Muktha nowadays (apart from the times it unnecessarily drags) is all the more respectable 🙂

130. Murthy thanks grihapravesha is already over sometime ago… but not naamakaraNa 😀 Hmm will see if my mom likes the name.

131. The Conversation between CSP and Nagabhusan Gowda was really great. Even though Madhavi patel had hurt the Judge still he keeps that aside leaving no grudge against her. I think there are a lot of messages in this serial which applies to our daily life.

     THUMBS UP TNS avare

132. Oho! Good and Congratulations! Let me know, if the name is likeable to your mother and what you named your home actually.
     Nimma manege namakarana maadidha hesarannu khandithavagi thilisi.

     In Muktha, I feel, CSP is out of form due to various reasons. Once he is on a pitch of his liking, he surely will be back with a bang. Thamma vyangya naguvinondhige CSP kahnditha vaapas baruththare. Maththe Arunachala Murthy yavara hathyeyalli paaludaararada ellarigu bevaru ilisuvudhu khanditha.

133. There’s a very interesting puzzle yesterday/day before – what was the crucial question that CSP could’ve wanted to ask the doctor (who did the post-mortem)? It was something to do with the clock or time or something like that. I thought about it but couldn’t get any particular thing.

     Anyway looks like Sheela is doing a pretty good job as well. I was hoping that CSP would atleast be in the court, I’m disappointed that he’s not in the scene at all! 🙁 Unfortunately our cable conked out at the last minute… what happens at the last minute? The doctor seems to just say “houdu” for anything and everything. What happens after Suryavamshi says that Arunachala Murthy could’ve jerked back his head in a reflex action and the doctor says yes? She seemed to have a good theory, but I wonder if he manage to find a loophole in it. But ultimately I find it pathetic that justice comes down to just a matter of a match of wits between two individuals (lawyers) 🙁

134. I missed Thursday’s episode. Could someone please summarize conversation of Belegere and TNS?

     TIA

135. We are all missing CSP very badly. Can anyone convey him that, the court scenes without him is not attractive. I still hope, with my fingers crossed, that CSP will return with big bang. I guess he is using this break to collect some more information and documents to tackel Rane and co. It will be very interesting if that happens.

136. wonderful serial of the millenium.

137. Guys, I came across a thought as to what CSP may be doing being away from the court. I think, he is collecting evidence against Rane, Chabria and Co with respect to the case. CSP, I think is cleverly doimg his work. I feel there are strong possiblities that CSP will collect all the evidence against Rane and Co. He may be using this time off from the court to prove the innocence of madhvi patel and shivakrishna desai.

138. hmm good theory Murthy (& Keshav) 🙂 I think it makes sense. My mom didn’t agree though, she says nah… all he wants is some peace of mind 8)

139. That address that was given by Raam Prasad…was it true? Or is it just a Bhoomika Office.. Does T.N.S. actually work there?

140. Hi,
     I googled for muktha and found this website, it’s a very good idea, and I would like to participate in adding my opinions too..

     Fridays episode was very good, Sheela
     prasad did a great job in trying to make him admit MP did not murder him, Suryavamshi unfortunately backfired at her though.

     What I thought was odd was that how can the bullet go from his neck and all the way up to the top of the head?

     T.N. Seetaraam, is a very talented directer,

141. Mannerisms, Plot Construction, and Charaterisation. I think TNS has proved to be a great thinking entertainer. Just wondering if anyone has been recording these episodes, especially the ones where TNS nails people to the wall in his extremely riveting courtroom scenes. Trust me guys, the reasoning, though simplistic at times, is worth seeing again and again. Before I forget, let me say the most obvious thing- in comparision to the staid kannada movies, kannadigarige thale yetthi odadohaage maadidaare TNSravaru. What say?

142. Khandita Raghuram, TNSavaru nijavagiyu kannadigaru thale eththi odadauvahaage madidhdhare. Kelasakke barada chitragalu (deadly soma, shishya, mandya, majestic etc), intha anagarika chitragalinda, kannada chitrarange thale thaggisuvanthagidhe. TNSrantha meru nirdeshakaru kannada chitrakke bekgagidhdhare.
     Ondu kaladalli kannada chitrarange hege iththu. Enta arthapoorna haadugalu, madhuravada sangeetha. Eega baruva haadugalalli bari machchu, hodeyodhu, asabhya haadugalu, anaagarika chitrikarana, ivella kelidara hasayyavaguththade.
     Kannada chitrarangavannu udhdharisalu Seetharam anthavaru sahaya maadabeku.
     Haage nodidhare, Kannada chitrarangakintha, TNS avara daravahigalu thumba chennagi iruththadhe.

     [Sanjay: pasted the above text into Baraha (with some minor editing though not all spellings are corrected) to get this script… 🙂 ]

     ಖಂಡಿತ ರಗುರಾಮ್, TNS ಅವರು ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರು ತಲೆ ಎತ್ತಿ ಒಡಡುವಹಾಗೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕೆಲಸಕ್ಕೆ ಬರದ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳು (deadly soma, shishya, mandya, majestic etc ), ಇನ್ಥ ಅನಗರಿಕ ಚಿತ್ರಗಲಿನ್ದ, ಕನ್ನದ ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗ ತಲೆ ತಗ್ಗಿಸುವಂತಾಗಿದೆ. TNSರಂಥ ಮೇರು ನಿರ್ದೇಶಕರು ಕನ್ನದ ಚಿತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಬೇಕ್ಗಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

     ಒಂದು ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನದ ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗ ಹೆಗೆ ಇತ್ತು. ಎಂತ ಅರ್ಥಪೂರ್ನ ಹಾಡುಗಳು, ಮದುರವಾದ ಸಂಗೀತ. ಈಗ ಬರುವ ಹಾಡುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಬರಿ ಮಚ್ಚು, ಹೊಡೆಯೊಧು, ಅಸಹ್ಯ ಹಾಡುಗಳು, ಅನಾಗರಿಕ ಚಿತ್ರೀಕರಣ, ಇವೆಲ್ಲ ಕೆಳಿದರ ಹಾಸ್ಯವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

     ಕನ್ನದ ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗವನ್ನು ಉದ್ದಾರಿಸಲು ಸೀಥರಮಂತವರು ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಬೆಕು

     ಹಾಗೆ ನೋಡಿದರೆ, ಕನ್ನದ ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗಕಿಂತ, TNS ಅವರ ದಾರವಾಹಿಗಳು ತುಂಬ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಇರುತ್ತವೆ.

143. Today’s summary: Mr. TNS seeks solace in the Hemagiri ashrama. He openly talks about how his defeat in the court seemed to be a very great defeat, only because of his own ego. The swamiji beautifully explains to him about the bigger picture – of each of us being nothing more than an insignificant dust in this universe. He also provides instructions of a silent relaxing meditation technique.

     Meanwhile Satyaprakash visits his friend’s house and talks of his disinterest in continuing to work with CSP since he was losing the case and also Sheela didn’t need him anyway. He very fluently lies about how it was because someone leaked the information to the other lawyers.

     An interesting thing is that Rane comes to CSP’s house to talk to Sheela, and encourage her further in the direction of politics, and give her Rs 10 lakhs in cash. Though she’s reluctant at first, her interest gets the better of her and she accepts it and keeps it inside. Rane also warns Sheela of unneccessary interference from CSP, does not want his name involved in the court any more. She convinces him that she is convinced that all she wants is to get them free. And as if that wasn’t enough, even hints that defendants are indeed the culprits, but ‘generously’ suggests that she try and defend them anyway.

144. Maththondu anaagarika chitrada hesarannu marethiddhe ! Mental Manja. Hesaru kelidare odi hoguva ensiruththade. :-))

145. What Rane is trying to do here is, involve sheila prasad in the elections so that she won’t be able to concentrate on the case at hand and there by, rane and co can win the case. Any how CSP is away from the case. So this is a perfect opportunity that Rane is making use of to save his and his friends skin.
     Shiela prasad may have taken the amount given by chabria, but I feel she may present that in the court at a later stage by saying that she was bribed by Rane and Chabria and she took the money just to provide it as a proof at the court.

146. As mentioned by Preeti, if the bullet had indeed reached the top of the head, then the bullet would have pierced the car at any point. So far in the case, no mention has been done with respect to the bullet piercing the car at some point! Can shiela prasad or CSP, if he comes back, catch this point?

147. Sanjay avare, you are doing a good job of providing daily updates. Thank you and keep it up 🙂 And if you want any help, let me know!

     Murthy avare, I like your theories! I think you are quite an optimist! I hope what you say is right 🙂

     I agree with everybody here… Kannada movies pale in comparison to Muktha. For that matter, it is better than any Hindi serial currently running.

     May TNS’ tribe increase 🙂

148. Dhanyavaadagalu Shruti Avare 🙂

149. Actually, I think this is the plot:

     RaaNe says that Sheela Prasad has unanimously been elected as the president for their party. So he gives her 10 lakhs, saying that it is for the expenses for the elections.

     However, the twist here is that, RaaNe being the home minister might send cops into sheela prasad’s house with a search warrant, and when the cops find the 10 lakhs, they will suspect Sheela Prasad (assuming she has taken a bribe: A bribe to ensure Chabria and RaaNe are left un-accused in court). But, sheela prasad will say that this is for the party expenses. Then, the cops might demand some “proof” that she is the party president. Unfortunately, she would not have signed anywhere declaring that she is the party president. (you must have wached the scene where RaaNe says…”aiyo.. adella bittbidi..ellru nimmanne aagle president antha oppkond aagogide”.. without showing any solid proof of her name being registered as the party president)

     So the cops will pin her down for taking a bribe. (Cops are obviously controlled by RaaNe)… and this will affect the proceedings of the case..

     I think this is the point where CSP will make a comeback and resume his “cross examination”…

150. I am loosing intrest on Muktha from few days !!!

151. Hey! Its a very good Serial. TNS is an extraordinary talent undoubtedly. Although i dont watch TV very often till i started to see Muktha. Now I eagerly wait for Muktha. Its very curious and unexpressable. To be frank RaaNe has acted well. Whenever I see the serial, I really think of Smashing him, Because his acting seems reality.

152. Oh me tooo! losing interest very quickly. Earlier I used to run to reach home before 9, but now dont mind it. A 2 min summary from my mother will do it.

     Its anyway known that CSP (or sheela) will win the case by turning around the case after some time. Its only to be seen (and waited) when that turning point will come! till then… 🙁

     Chaitanya

153. hi vishwas,
     I don’t think Sheela Prasad has been made party president. Did they mention it in yesterday’s episode?? I guess…, What they were saying was that party prsident (one person with beard) had accepted her nomination and sent it to high commond OR something like that.

154. Nanage aa arundhati mathugalu totally illogical and meaningless annisuthe … moreover she thinks she is the most intelligent lady on earth… she complicates her own life and others life as well. I think they have to put an end to her character.

155. Muktha is loosing the charm, From few days we dont find the urgency to reach home before 9PM to catchup Muktha. The court scenes are becoming horrible and above that meaning less episodes of Arundathi.Mrs.CSP can noway putup fight with Suryavamshi and CBI. Just imagine how it would have been if CSP was questioning Inspector Ranganath or Postmortem Doctor or anybody else???I am sure TRP will fall unless CSP comes back immly and make the serial lively again, If Mrs.CSP only continues arguments and if judge releass MAdhavi patel , then there is no diffrence between anyother serial and Muktha.

156. Haudu Arundatiya paatra, ondu ondu sali mai parchikolluvanthe ;-)) iruththade. Arundhati maththu vinod kumar (chitranata) ivara avashyakathe daaravahi ge iralillaveno ensuththade. TNS avaru arundhatiya patravannu motaku golisidhasthu olleyadhu.

     Also, I agree with Anita about Arundhati.
     I hope something interesting happens quickly… Swalpa bore aagthaide 🙂

158. I do agree with Kumar. Muktha has already lost charm, atleast in my case. Last week I missed a episode. This week so far not watched the serial at all.
     Now that CSP is is Ashram [right?], I hope he’ll have some REALIZATION, and comes back enlightened to make us smile 🙂

159. HI ALL,

     It’s amazing to know that I’m not the only one losing interest in Muktha, of late… This viewpoint of mine has literally rendered me an outcast at home… My grandma refuses to be drawn into our ritual debates regarding the progress of the serial..
     Yellarigu Arundhati character kooada bore aaglikke shuru aagide.. TNS yenu avala patrakke Mayamrugadallina Malavikala paatrada shades kodalu horatiddareye?? If so, it’s just not going to feel right to me.. Till date all charecters in TNS’s serials have been portrayed as maturing over time… Why then is the charater of Arundhati regressing??? She was shown as having a lot of spunk and mostly “honest integrity”……… Sadly, these traits seem to have taken a long long long hibernation…

     Well, hope the further twists in stire for us bring back the charm again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

160. I too feel it was a bit boring yesterday but maybe we are being a bit too reactive – we should give some space for TNS to be boring as well as good 🙂 What makes it interesting is to put myself in the shoes of those characters – and try to think (not with my mind, but with their mind, personality and background) about what different thing I might’ve done.

     Shruti, you can just address me as Sanjay… (else type purely in Kannada! 😉 ) …and about daily updates if anyone can please provide it – I’d really appreciate it esp from tomorrow onwards as I’ll be going out of station without internet access and will be back the next weekend.

     [Note: If anybody’s comment dosen’t show up here, it only means its caught up for moderation in the spam filter – due to more than one hyperlink (if you’ve a href tag) or more likely because you’ve used some particular keyword – and in this case its very hard to guess why. So you could retry after editing your message or something like that… sorry if there’s any inconvenience.]

     I think Murthy’s analysis (#166) is pretty good, atleast the initial part… though it looks like Shiela Prasad is being naive.

     Diya this was a very interesting observation…

     Till date all charecters in TNS’s serials have been portrayed as maturing over time…

     Also Prasanna Sastry’s…

     I think there are a lot of messages in this serial which applies to our daily life.

161. Suryavamshi vakeelanannu bahala dhodda pramanika vakeela endu, avana paatra baruvaage helalaagiththu. Aadare avanu nadedukolluva reethi, mosa maaduva reethi, vicharane maaduva reethi, sullu saakshigallannu protshaisuvudu, sullu helikegalannu heluvanthe maaduvudu, ivellavannu nodidare, suryavamshi dhodda vaeekla endu helalaaguvudilla.
     Bari mosa maadi mokkaddammegalannu gelluva vakilarige dodda vakeela endu heluththareye?

162. HI,

     Thanks Sanjay… And as for the comments by Mr.Murthy, isn’t it a fact that most cases – atleast the ones which make the news and capture people’s interest – are those which involve the powerful members of our society??? And are’nt most of them guilty 9 times out of 10??? Is it any wonder that a top-flight lawyer must then be as crooked as his clients?? How else will he get aquittals???

     And yeah, why is CSP in the Hemagiri Matha??? And mostly, when can we see him back???

163. Is it any wonder that a top-flight lawyer must then be as crooked as his clients?? How else will he get aquittals??? yeah unfortunately I suppose this is really the case in reality as well. Apart from that, there’s another thing in Muktha… we, the viewers, know that Rane are guilty because we’ve been watching different scenes in the serial, but the characters (in the story) don’t know that (except of course the accused who know they haven’t actually murdered). No character in the serial really knows for sure that Suryavamshi is doctoring the evidence, Sheela herself speculates at one time that maybe the accused did indeed commit the murder, and CSP himself at one time wonders whether they (Rane) is really innocent. So as far as the world (of the characters in the serial) is concerned, Suryavamshi is a top-knotch lawyer defending the innocent Rane & co.

164. I think Sanjay got it perfectly right (comments 177 and 180).

     Diya, CSP wanted some peace and quiet and has therefore gone to the Hemagiri MaTha to learn some Dhyaana from the Swamiji. He was disturbed by the way the case was going and going into depression, and so he was advised to go there by Dr.Maitreyee, Madhavi Patel’s sister, who is a psychologist. It has been mentioned that he will be there for a week.

     Yesterday Shivakrishna Desai mentioned that CSP probably knows about (A)satyaprakash and that he might have some plan in mind. I hope this is true :)))

165. Looks like TNS is also trying the communicate the importance of Dhyaana in our daily life, to the soceity!!?

166. You are right, Sanjeev. TNS has conveyed many a positive and useful message to the audience by this powerful medium. This is one of those.

     We have to wait and see how this brings about a change in him. There was another message conveyed in the conversation with Swamiji about the exact significance of humans in the universe. Such conversations show us that in reality, we are nothing but a ‘microscopic speck’ in the cosmic scale.

     Ramesh.

167. Houdu, simply boring aagide. Namma CSP enaadru maadbeku….
     Munche idda maja iga illa!

168. Innu swalpa dina..mukta nododilla. Updates ge ee site ge bartirteeni. Enadroo oLLe Twist bandre will no doubt be @home by 9:00. Nice Useful site

169. Even me too great fan of Shree Seetharam because of his serial Muktha, but right now I am missing it because I am in Detroit since 2 months and

     Couldn’t get cable connection with E-TV. So if any one know any website where we can watch/download/read the story of Muktha I will be really thank full.

     Regards,
     Ramprasad.

170. Wednesday, Feb 1st 2006 – Update.

     Purushotthama, Priya and her father are sitting and talking in their house. Police come to their house, and talk to Priya’s father and tell him that in his bank account, 10 lakhs have been deposited in September, and this money corresponds with the money which was stolen from Mr Vishal Dubey of Andheri, Mumbai. The numbers match. Priya’s father says that he will look into it and tell the police.

     CSP is in the MaTha looking over the deposition papers of the case. Swamiji comes to talk to him. CSP tells him that his mind is clearing up because of Dhyaana. At that time, Purushotthama comes to see CSP. He apologises to CSP and tells him that he found out from a common friend that Satyaprakash was the one leaking his secrets to Rane’s side. CSP says that he had guessed. Then he asks how the case is going, and asks Purushotthama to get the deposition papers from Sheela Prasad.

     Court scene – Sharat Suryavamshi is examining the Ballistics expert. He says that the bullet found was fired from Madhavi Patel’s gun itself. When Sheela prasad cross examines, she asks if it is possible that it was fired from some other gun. so he says that every gun has a unique print like a finger print. A bullet fired from a gun has unique shot marks… and it is sure that this particular bullet was fired from Madhavi Patel’s bullet.

171. Mankuthimmana kagga … idarinda tegedukondiro wordings .. adannu CSP helo reethi … nanage thumba ishta …

     I am enjoying every aspect of Muktha …

     Anitha.

172. “isn’t it a fact that most cases – atleast the ones which make the news and capture people’s interest – are those which involve the powerful members of our society??? And are’nt most of them guilty 9 times out of 10??? Is it any wonder that a top-flight lawyer must then be as crooked as his clients?? How else will he get aquittals???”

     So, then all crooked lawyers are famous and most sought after by criminals, as well as criminal ministers. So in India, there is no value for promptness, loyalty to the truth and truth itself. That also means, lawyers like CSP who fights for truth are not famous and should suffer with majority criminals.
     This implies that our society is filled with more criminals than good human beings with good human values.
     As is the case, CSP is looked down much below than is co lawyer in the court, though CSP is more intelligent and fights for truth.
     This whole stuff implies that, in India there is lack of human values and people who are loyal to the country, truth, country’s development.

173. Thanks Shruthi… I missed that part… And Mr.Murthy, I did not mean to imply anything of the sort that u’ve said. I only meant to say that the majority of those in the news are there for wrong reasons most of the times. I never implied that society is filled with criminals…etc..etc…etc…. I would request you Sir, not to colour your implications with my brush… As for real life lawyers in the mold of CSP, how many of them does one find??

     “This whole stuff implies that, in India there is lack of human values and people who are loyal to the country, truth, country’s development.” Just a simple factual observation on my part need not be the basis for such sweeping generalizations.

     And Sir, if TNS has portrayed the character of CSP as one who is not taken seriously, there must be a reason behind it, right???

     And is’nt it heartening that not only do people like TNS and his team make enriching serials, but there also people, like those who’ve contributed on this site, who are an antithesis of what u’ve said Sir???

175. Hey Diya, I am not colouring my implications with your brush. The comments I have written is what I have experienced and seen personally. It just coincided with our thoughts, that’s it ;-). This is also not a sweeping generalizations as I have come across and seen where people lack loyalty towards country and justice. These are just some of the facts that I have put forth. Ofcourse we can see loyal people like Lokayuktha Justice Venktachaliah. Diya, you are sure that there won’t be even a handfull of people who are loyal and against corruption as justice venkatachaliah is, right?
     Off late we have seen so many scandals that of come up in the country, keeping those things in mind were the thoughts that I put up. Also, not only the people who are involved in corruption have escaped the hand of law and also they have forcibly manipulated the law to suit there needs, but they also are clinging to the top most positions in our country. Keeping these things in mind, I made those comments, not only on your factual observations.
     Any how, you have made good factual observations. 😉

176. Hi Shruthi…, your update on yesterday’s episode is wonderful!!!Ondu bidada hage vivarisidira. I think until CSP comes back to court, it is better to read your update rather than watching the serial.
     hi Anitha.., indeed TNS loves DVG’s ‘Mankuthimmana kagga’. Infact, I am going to have a copy for myself, when I next go to Bangalore.

177. Hi Keshav, thank you! But I don’t know if I myself can sustain interest until CSP comes back 🙂

178. Hi Murthy avare… I guess I owe u an apology for over-reacting… So, Sorry !!! And I am sure that there are more than a handful of people like Venkatachaliah. Of course it’s another matter that not all of them are as well known as him. For every corrupt, immoral and dishonest person one comes across, one finds two others who are the exact opposites… They only go about so unassumingly that one has to think back to recollect them… And thanks Sir, for considering my factual observations to be good.

     And what’s with CSP saying in yesterday’s episode that he was sure of his junior’s double cross during the cross examination of Ranganath?? I vividly remember the conversation between CSP and his wife, after the debacle of RAnganath’s cross examination. He clearly says that if it was the work of his junior, the prosecution would have got all the questions not just a few.. So, it was not right to doubt his junior.. Any thoughts anyone?????

180. Diya avare, no need for any apologies, what we are commenting is just our thoughts. So do not worry.

     But (A)satyaprakash should be punished at any point of time. He should not go scott free as he was resposible for the cross examination of CSP to derail.

     Diya, the conversation between CSP and Sheila Prasad took place, when CSP reexamined the driver of desai. At that point of time, CSP was, I think had complete trust on his junior. But while re-examining Ranganath, CSP noticed his junior’s sarcastic laugh and it was then, that CSP realised the some wrong doing on his junior’s part. But CSP did well to take time off after that depression and he is recovering now.

181. Hi sanjay your blog seems to be on par with TNS’s Muktha with lots of Hits and comments.

     I feel we could skip watching the serial for a couple of days till CSP comes back to court and instead read the vyakhyana provided by Shruti which will give the holistic picture of previous episode.

     As told by Rane Sheela prasad is only going to create a doubt in mind of Judge by saying that there is no concrete evidence against both Madhavi Patel and Shivkrishna Desai have commited the murder and get them acquitted. She will ensure that Rane and Chaabria got scott free. That might bring in CSP back to court(if allowed ).

182. Update – Thursday – Feb 2nd

     CSP goes to Swamiji to tell him that he is now fully relaxed, and wants to leave (By the way, he also touches Swamiji’s feet ;)). He asks Swamiji for advice – whether he should just sit back and let Sheela Prasad continue the case – she will just work towards freeing MP and SKD, but not towards indicting Rane and Chhabria. Swamiji says “Shishtara rakshane maatra dharmada kaarya alla.. Dushtara shikshane kooda dharmada kaarya.. Hogi banni, nimage volleyadaagali”.

     CSP goes to meet MP and SKD. SKD tries to tell him that SAtyaprakash was the one leaking the secrets. CSP says he knew. On the morning of Brahmachar’s examination, ten minutes before it started, Rane’s driver Ravi, who is from CSP’s town, called CSP aside and told him that they had initially planned to finish off CSP but instead planted Satyaprakash as his junior. MP asks then why didn’t u slap SAtyaprakash and expose him? So CSP says, I had to fake it. If I had expossed Satyaprakash, my life would have been in danger. So I faked everything. I faked fear, I faked forgetfulness, I faked depression. I had to convince Rane that I had become harmless. MP asks, then why did u tell Ranganath’s cross-exam questions also? So CSP says, I had to keep up the drama. Else they would get suspicious. Anyway i told satyaprakash all the harmless questions against Ranganath. Then I had to leave. Half of the depression was faked, the other half was real – coz I now had Praanabhaya. I realised i had to get out of this. So I put Sheela Prasad as the advocate. since she is Rane’s party candidate, they will not hurt her. besides she is just concentrating on freeing you two. So she is also safe. I took advantage of going away from everybody. Instead of being in the ashrama, I had gone to Calcutta to collect info and evidence from Usha Gopinath’s guide. All my work is done. I am now fully prepared. Then MP asks, so will u come back to the case? CSP says, if i come back, Sheela Prasad ge avamaana aagatthe. I will work on convincing her, and making her argue the case as I tell her. I will come to court with her… maybe sometime later, I will only argue the case. I will have to recall Brahmachar and Ranganath, but judge might not agree. Their documents are fake. I could have proved they were fake that day itself, but i did not. i had to keep up the drama. I can easily prove it now, if i can recall them. then they will be truly caught. So MP says, now isn’t ur life in danger? So he says, now the election dates have been announced. Rane cannot take a risk and finish me off…. so I am a little safe… I am thinking of one more plan to ensure mysafety… let me see about that.

     {I hope I have not missed anything…. if I have, please feel free to add}

183. Shruthi, you have missed out the last might be a inconsequence one but still let me complete the whole episode. CSP asks who is going to be the next witness then MP says its her mother. Amma Bandu Nanna Virudhha Saakshi koduthare.

184. So Muktha back on track, now?

185. Realising that TRP ratings might fall TNS had to give one more twist. Thatz why TNS(CSP) is known as “Tharle Lawyeru” in the hemagiri Jille.

186. Thanks Shruti for the wonderful update on Thursday’s episode. Power went off in our area just when MP,CSP and SKD scene started (damn BESCOM 😉 ). I wish I had seen this episode full but your write-up almost made me feel like I didn’t miss it.

     :tu

187. Hi everyone,
     I noticed everyone had commented on the look that CSP had made when he asked Satyaprakash to get him food 😉 well turned out he knew! 🙂

     Go CSP!!!

     Sheela Prasad doing a great job! 🙂 Keep it up, T.N.S. and his team are great, very well done, thanks for such a great show and Sanjay, great website!! 🙂

     Vaidehi 🙂

188. Hi,
     I used to go on this website all the time but had not submitted a comment,
     I haven’t lost interest in this serial… I have lost interest in coming to this website… there are too many of the same comments now and most of them are negative 🙁 bye

189. Hi Reena…:) why are you feeling that the comments are negative? Everybody is saying what they feel thats all. Tell me, if the commenters did not like Muktha, would they have watched it, felt so much for it, and come here online, searched for this page, and bothered to comment about it? It just shows how much they feel for it. And negative comments is not against the serial or TNS. It is a natural reaction that comes from the way the story is progressing. Do not take it so much to heart 🙂

190. Hi Shruthi… I was wondering if u could provide an update of Friday’s episode… I hope I’ve not missed anythong much.. As for Reena’s comments, I feel that we are all entitled to make our views known. Even the views seem negative to others, it should just be taken as part of the dialogue process.

191. So, CSP will be back in action.

     I liked sheela prasad’s performance yesterday. The way she protects her self respect and also supports her husband’s activities is very commendable.

     Anitha.

192. Hi Diya… I wanted to put up the update but was very busy in the weekend. Anyway you have not missed much of the Friday episode.
     It was the examination of Indira Arunachalamurthy(IA). The judge asks SS to not put her on the stand because it is a delicate position for IA. But SS says that CSP was doubting everybody. If MP’s mother herself states the facts, it will be a big proof. So judge lets her take the stand. Basically she just tells what everybody else has said – same things, but she cries a lot, and MP also sheds a lot of tears.
     After the examination, when SHeela Prasad was going for the cross-exam, CSP tries to slip a note of questions into her hand, for her to ask. But she gets angry, and she leaves it. But just as she was about to go, MP requests to speak to Sheela and says that it is ok even if the case is affected, but please don’t cross-examine my mother.. she is in a very bad state. So Sheela agrees.

193. Monday – 7th Feb update.

     [I will be very brief.. as I have very little time. If anybody can expand on it, it will be nice :)]

     Priya’s father shouts at Purushotthama and says that the stolen ten lakhs have come from Nanjunda, and asks for an explanation. Purushotthama pleads with him not to tell the police and asks for 2 days’ time to ask Nanjunda. He agrees.

     Sheela shouts at CSP and tells him not to interfere with her work when he is not in charge of the case any more. CSP tries to convince her that Rane and Chhabria are behind all this. She says that a lawyer’s work is to protect the accused, not catch the wrongdoers. CSP tells her about his doubts and theories about Rane and Chhabria, but she is amused and says it is all your imagination. I cannot stand against Rane just on proof of your imagination. He and I are in the same party. When he tries to convince her further, she just brings the papers and gives it back to him and asks him to take the case back. She tells him that I know you just faked depression. He admist it but he tells her that there was a reason behind all this, I am sorry. Anyway sheela says, it is good for me also, i had lots of election work.. the case was eating into my time.
     Then CSP calls Vimala and asks her to be his junior. Sheela asks why. He sends Vimala away and says that Vimala’s fateher is a strong party candidate. If Rane wants to hurt me, he won’t try when Vimala is around, because if anything happens to her, the consequences will be bad. Sheela is amused but she goes to Vimala and tells her to stay close to CSP all the time and to call Sheela if anything strange happens.
     {This last part was very enjoyable to watch]

194. Yes, the way sheila prasad smiles, hidden in her anger against CSP was very nice. The viewer can just see a sneak peak of Sheila Prasad’s smile. Also the still of TNS in the end was very good. When CSP explains his intentions to have vimala as his junior, his explanation was catchy and sheila prasad’s reaction to that was very enjoyable and shows that though CSP behaviour irritates her often, she is still supportive of her husband and cares for him.
     Also, from now on we can enjoy the “Bevaru illisuvike of criminals” by CSP

195. Sheela Prasad – ‘You are so wicked, I hate you!’

     I some how couldn’t digest this, especially in the next scene when she asks Vimala to always be with CSP and take care of him.

     If she thought it was a wicked idea, why did she impliment it by asking the junior to do so?
     If she hates CSP, why does she try to protect him, just minutes after this statement?

     I feel, a more apt statement, to reflect her sentiments at that moment wud’ve been like ‘You are so shrewd!’ or ‘You are Unbeleivable’ etc.

     Poor CSP, he didnt do anything to be hated! I didnt feel he was wicked either, since he was not troubling or hurting anyone there.

     What do others feel?

     -Chaitanya

196. Just to connect my previous post, the statement was said by Sheela after CSP gives her reasoning as to why she needs Vimala as junior and that it might protect him from Rane’s attack, since Vimala is the daughter of a close supporter of Rane.

     Thanks Shurthi for that crisp update, even while busy 🙂

     Chaitanya

197. Hi Chaitanya.. I am not surprised at Sheela’s statement! 🙂 It was a mixture of admiration and sarcasm and affection. It is difficult to explain, but I have also used, “You are so horrible. I hate you” to people whom I love. It is an acknowledgement of the brilliant working of their mind, or something like that. Usually, this statement comes out when the brilliance is for something which can be construed as “wicked”. But is not actually wicked. As I said, I cannot explain, but I can understand that statement 🙂

198. Hey,
     Yeah Shruti I guess you are right…

     I think I found it so interesting that I felt bad about the comments … 🙂 Thanks,\.. cya 🙂

199. I saw no-on had responded to my comment 🙁

     I really like the way Sheila Prasad is doing the cases… Thx for the updates you’ve beeen giving Shruthi … 😉

     Reena, I sometimes don’t like to read the same thing so there is a simple solution… skip them 😉

     Regs..
     Vaidehi

200. Hi Shruthi… Thanxs for the update… Now I’m happy that I really have’nt missed anything much… As for Sheela prasad’s comment in yesterday’s episode I totally agree with your views… We many times say such things to our loved ones to bring them down to earth or even to keep them grounded in reality… To show them that though we admire their quick thinking and logic, we may not be very comfortable with their methods or the reasoning they choose to give.

     And as Murthy avaru says, all of us are looking forward to the CSP of old… And ofcourse, the “bevaru ilisuvike” of the witnesses…

201. Y’day tumbha channagitthu ! CSP on track again. Judge told CSP cannot cross examine Bramachar but others are OK.
     Eevattu Inspector Ranga nna Devare Kapadabeku !!!!

202. Hi,
     Someone please write up what happened y’day? I’m missing Muktha as I’m now in US, and only after reading the update I go to sleep. Praveen Please dont increase the suspense please tell what happened? Im curious 🙂
     Someone soon. Im waiting 🙂
     Regards,
     Smitha

203. Where is Shruthi ???

     Shruthi avare nimma sharansha ellade yellaru kashtavannu anubhuvasthaiddare.

204. CSP is back in court saying that he submitting the vakalat for the SD and MP.
     He requests that he wants to recall Witness Brahmachar, Inspector Ranganath,Dr who performed the postmortem, Vehicle inspector. But Suryavamshi objects to it saying that already it has cross examination has been conducted by Sheela Prasad so why again.
     Even the Judge is of the same opinion initially due to the fact that it would be a loss to the court time and the case has be closed before the elections.

     CSP Comes up with following points

     1. As per Act 311 the re-examination of the witness is always possible

     2. Since he was unable to conduct the cross verification due to depression he wants to recall the witness

     3. Sheela Prasad has left out many of the points which were critical.

     4. Due to cold wave in Delhi the elections may be postponed by 1 month

     Finally after many ifs and buts Court finally decides that CSP can cross examine all except Brahmachar since Cross Examination of Inspector Ranganath was incomplete.

     Then comes the beaming confident and smiling CSP towards the Witness box to cross examine inspector Ranganath.

     Thatz the brief of yesterday

205. Yesterday’s episode was great, Do anything you want dont miss Muktha next few days. In the last scene yesterday when CSP was walking towards Inspector Ranganath it was like Cheetah approaching its prey, I think Ranganath will literally cry today. Suryavamshi’s reaction when CSP says about Sathya prakash was also very good. Seetharam is only director who can make all actors to getinto the rolls rather than just acting, no words to appreciate this great man !!!

206. Prasanna avare, tumba thanks 🙂 khusi ayitu, neevu yellaru tumba olle kelsa maadtidiri.. Keep the sprit going. Naanu igaa nemadiyagi nidde maadtini 🙂

207. Prasanna, that was a very clear, concise and crisp update! I was very busy and so came here as soon as possible, and I find that Prasanna has done “my work” so well 🙂 I will attempt to be quicker in my updates henceforth, but if I am not able to, then someone else, like Prasanna has done today, please give the updates for people like Smitha. 🙂
     Yes, yesterday’s episode was great! And like Kumar said, it was exactly like a cheetah approaching its prey! Cannot wait for 9 pm today 😀

208. Hey,
     Vaidehi 🙂
     I like the way Sheela Prasad is doing the cases too! 🙂

     My mum mentioned earlier here that the names given to the places were good… I really like the way T.N.S chooses them too..

     So… Muktha is going well, Thanks for the detailed episode updates you’ve been giving Shruthi… 🙂

209. I had to go out for joLada rotti oota 🙂 with my friend but looks like I missed a real good one 🙁
     Thanks for the update Prasanna.

     What did CSP told about Satyaprakash?? Plz let me know.

210. Hi All… Now that Muktha seems to be getting back to being interesting, I just thought I would share a point which though was bugging me a lot, was sidetracked in the past few days… During the cross-examination of Brahmachar and the Inspector, the behaviour of the two towards CSP bordered on being insolent. Granted that both of them were tutored, but still it seemed too farfetched.. One can still understand the rationale behind the inspector’s attitude…. He’s after all been portrayed as an arrogant, power-hungry person…(Seen during earlier interactions with MP during Usha Gopinath case enquiry) But I found it odd that the driver too was shown as condescending in his attitude towards CSP.. What was the real need for this ??

     And in yesterday’s episode it was real surprising to note the new-found concern exhibited by the Judge towards the accused.. He seems to be toning down a lot, don’t u think ???

211. When talked about (A)satyaprakash in the court, CSP points to Sharath Suryavamshi and says that Suryavamshi is very much aware of what (A)satyaprakash and how capable (A)satyaprakash is.
     I feel, the judge should have given permission to re-examine brahmachar also. It would have been nice to see the “Bevaru Ilisuvike” of both brahmachare and ranganath.
     TNS is second to none in his direction and acting and portraying the characters in his serials.
     Friends, I have a meeting to night between 8:30 and 9:30. Hope I won’t miss much of the entertainment. Ofcourse I will be watching Muktha, but muted or with volume a bit low. 🙁
     Muktha will be more entertaining and catchy when Rane, Chabria and over acting Sandhya Magalawade will be re-examined.

212. Mukta is worth more than a topic! And TNS’way of showing it just inimitable! To be frank I was taken aback by the way the other serials are dragged and shown! And decided that never will watch these serials… but thanks to TNS for making a gem of a serial! If anybody says there is no good serial in Kannada, ask him to watch Mukta just once, he will never ever dare to say Kannada serials are not good! (PS: Don’t let him watch other serials after Mukta!!!). The way he brings today’s real scenarios with the dramatic version mixed is just amazing! I blamed the KPTCL for making me miss Mukta for a day… I had to call all possible resources to find out what happened! 🙂 Oh enough is enough… got to go…Got to be there in front of my TV set before the clock shows 9PM! Thanks so much TNS for this serial!

213. Good Morning Muktha Priyare,

     Yelli!!Edelli.. Smitha Kadiruvalu nimma updates gaagi.. yedu bega sanjay na blogalli Mukta updates annu kalisi .. naanu nimellara comments ge kannu bittu kadiruvenu 🙂 TNS avaru AMAZING director. I wish I had watched Muktha these episodes :-(. Anyways we have this blog here to tell me who said what to whom and when!! Thanks to Sanjay also!!
     Happy day 🙂

214. Update – Wednesday – Feb 8th – In Brief

     CSP back in form!!! 🙂

     CSP asks Inspector Ranganath(henceforth referred to as Ranga) once again, from where he got the 30 lakhs, when his father had no Aasti, and Ranga also did not have money. He again tells that his father in law gave it as a gift to his wife. CSP asks, isn’t it strange, why a “Vyavastha patra” for a gift? So Ranga says, what do I know, it was his wish.
     CSP – Then why did ur father in law give the money only to one daughter? What about your wife’s sister?
     Ranga – He had only one daughter!
     CSP (smiling) – REally, you forgot? how can u be so forgetful and be in police force? your wife shrivalli has a twin shridevi. her husband shrikant is my friend. See, here is marriage album photo.
     Ranga – (sweating) Adu, adu…
     CSP – ok leave that, now do you believe in devva bhootha?
     SS – objection your honour
     Judge – objection overruled.
     CSP – do u believe in devva bhootha?
     Ranga – no.
     CSP – Ok then see this, this stamp paper, what kind of stamp paper is this?
     Ranga – dont u know, after the Telgi scam, you can go the bank, pay money and get this embossing done.
     CSP – ok. this vyavastha patra was written in Aug 2002, correct?
     RAnga – correct.
     CSP – but govt decision to have this kind of stamp papers was from march 2003. then? how did he get this stamp paper in 2002 itself?
     Ranga sweats.
     CSP – And the embossed date here is June 2004, on this paper.
     Ranga sweats.
     CSP – one more thing – here is your father in law’s death certificate. he died in Aug 1999. So did his bhootha come and write this vyavastha patra in Aug 2002?
     Judge smiles
     Ranga sweats. SS, Rane, Chhabria all sweat.
     CSP – that means this is a false document – you prepared it in a greatttt hurry.
     Ranga does not say anything.
     Judge says, 5 o clock aaythu, still more to come?
     CSP – yes it will take 2-3 days more.
     Judge – lets continue tomorrow.

215. One more addition.. before stopping –

     CSP – now that we have proved that this is a false document, we again come to the question, from where did u get the 35 lakhs? Did you take lancha?
     Ranga – NO.
     CSP – then from where?
     Ranga – no answer
     CSP – Chhabria gave it to you to shut Usha Gopinath’s case, correct?
     Ranga – no answer.
     {after this, the proceedings of the day is stopped}

216. Smitha avare evaga neevu nemmadi kalakolade nidde madabahudu.

     For the first time during the court proceedings i saw Judge smiling otherwise he is always a siddaki muthi.

217. I belive now TNS himself is writing scripts for all court scenes and spending many many sleep less nights in doing so. Now I understand why there will be one time pass scene everyday ( first scene). We are always hungry for court scenes but TNS has to write the script , direct and also act. Let us be satisfied with 2 good scenes and one time pass scene is welcome , but definitely not Arundhati. TNS is working too hard for all of us, some how let us make him to see this blog and let him share his comments here. Wish we had aachat session in web like Muktha Samvada, Whay u people say????

218. Great Idea Kumar, Lets do this. Somehow catch hold of TNS and lets make this idea work, and publish the appointment details to everywhere 😀 Im sure we will have lots n lots of messages pouring in 😀

219. Hi Shruthi, Thanks for the Update of yesterdays Episode. I was looking forward to watch yesterday’s episode. But due to work load I had to stay back in the office late night.
     Though I stay back late in office, I don’t miss Muktha, as we have a T.V in office 🙂 But unfortunately, yesterday T.V was not working… I felt so disappointed 🙁 but now I am well aware of what happend yesterday 🙂

220. Kumar idea’s sounds great. I think we could take help of Ram kumar (if not wrong) and ask TNS to be a part of this blog at once a week .

     If we mail to the id we get a auto response saying “right now we are too busy to reply to the mail”

     Ramkumar if you are still par of this blog, we would like you to carry forward this message (if you dont mind of course)

221. Not Ram kumar its Ram Prasad

222. sir, I am an engineering student in chennai and I want to know the day today happenings of MUKTA. Is this possible through internet? please help me in this regard.I have addicted to this , as i can’t see this serial by maestro seetharama here in chennai, I need help from youu. please please, please please please help me

     Thanks.
     Vinay

223. Yes Vinay Kumar, U have come to the perfect place; this is the database for Muktha, even in FUTURE if TNS forgets what happened when.. he will surely come here for refference 😀 !! We have very good soles[ALL] who are helping like me and u to get updated with happenings of Muktha :D, You will get a picture of the serial in front of ur eyes 😉 Without missing any episode.Good that u came here. Go through all the pages and bookmark this page as I have done :).By 10 AM IST u will have Muktha being played on this page, dont forget to skip it. Thanks to Sanjay, Shruthi, Prasanna, list goes on……….

224. Purushotthama goes to Nanjunda, and asks him from where he got that ten lakhs that he gave to Priya’s father. Nanjunda he said it was the ten lakhs that Navudkar gave him to gIve somebody, and by the time he had reached that person’s house, he was dead, and so he brought the money back with him. Purushotthama slaps him and tells him that now his father in law is trouble over that money because it has been traced as stolen money. Their grandfather says that he was the one who gave permission to Nanjunda to pay that money to Priya’s father, since that money now did not belong to anybody. Nanjunda says that he will try to give the money back to Navudkar.
     [Could not watch the first half, so got it from my sister. If anybody can elaborate on this, please do.]

     When all this is happening, throughout, Gayatri (Nanjunda’s fiance) and Somashekhar tata are also in the house, and they see and hear everything. Nanjunda asks permission to speak to Gayatri in person. They go out, and Nanjunda tells her that you must be thinking what kind of a guy this fellow is… it’s ok, you need not think you are committed, if you don’t like me, you can break off the engagement. I will tell you everything frankly. Due to somebody else’s mosa, our family got into debt of 85 lakhs, and my sisters went out looking for jobs. I could not bear to see them, and in a weak moment, I got associated with the underworld and started earning in lakhs. Then my family found out and made me promise to stop. I have stopped everything now. Then Gayatri says, we knew all this before meeting you. Now that you have told me so frankly, I trust you even more. In fact, the day after our marriage got finalised, we had gone to MaTha, and Swamiji told us that whatever anybody tells u about Nanjunda, he is a very good person. Nanjunda is very relieved.

     Court scene –
     CSP – So Chhabria gave you the 35 lakhs to shut Usha Gopinath’s case, correct?
     Insp Ranga – no, you are wrong.. that was a suicide.. she and her friend were having an affair, they had gone to see a movie, they had some argument, she was upset and so she jumped from building and committed suicide.
     CSP- no, she was first killed and thrown from the building. Usha was working in agricultural university in sudukoppa and had extracted an alkaloid from Kempusanjeevini soppu. this was a great discovery which would have benefited the whole world, for medicine and other things. It was a groundbreaking discovery. Chhabria asked her to work for him, but she refused, and so he got her killed to take that secret from her.

     SS – objection your honour… Chhabria has so much money that he can engage any number of foreign scientists to do research for him. How can we believe that some lady sitting in one tiny institute in Sudukoppa can make such a big discovery? This is like some fable from Chandamama. This has no relation the present case.. please ask CSP to stop this line of questioning.

     CSP gets very angry – why do you think that Indians cannot make big discoveries? should only foreigners make it? i get very angry when you say all this, Mr SS. Please give me some latitude, your honour, and i will prove that these two cases are related.

     Judge says ok, says objection overruled.

225. I don’t think my previous update comment has been published, so putting it up again in two parts – if it is a repetition, please bear with me.

     Update – Thursday – 9th Feb

     Purushotthama goes to Nanjunda, and asks him from where he got that ten lakhs that he gave to Priya’s father.

227. Can anyone please confirm if my entire update is visible on this page? I am having some problems here with the browser.

228. Yes Shruthi, your update is visible. Thanks

229. Shruthi, also CSP takes SS to task for down looking Indian’s and take’s strong exception about the comments on chandamama by SS. CSP says people like SS will praise Harry Potter which is a copy from the stories of chandamama.

     The first two part dealt with nanjunda’s problem.

230. hello vinay,
     I am also staying in Chennai luckily I have Hathway cable hence getting Enadu TV so that we can watch Muktha else as you know in chennai we dont get any Kannada channels as such .( not like Bangalore where you have plenty of all language channels) If you want you can make trip to my home everyday to watch , If you need will give you contact details.

231. Dear all,
     One more Idea struck me just now, why dont we recotrd all court room dialouges in Ipod or something and update on the site as wav file of something. So that we can listen whenever we want and all Muktha fans who can not see atleast get to hear the proceedings, what you people say??

232. That’s a brilliant Idea Kumar, Go ahead and do this. I’m eagerly waiting for these clips 😀

     Thanks a Lot:)

233. Kumar,

     Etv will file a law suit against you if you do so (recording and posting it on web) 😉

234. There are some sites which put these most popular serials online; I think that shud not be an issue if every detail about the artifact is given, we can be sure of obeying the copyright laws [I dont have idea abt Copyright laws– Lets consult TNS for this 😉 ]

235. Smitha, what is this? I put up the update early so that you can sleep early, and you are still awake? 😉

236. Work!! 🙁 Thanks for the early update 🙂 Now I’m done for the day, so all set to sleep; waiting for another update 2morrow 😀

237. Hi All, iam a new member for this group. I found this site very useful to keep update of Muktha. From yesturdays episode i feel TNS is preperaring the stage for another Court Scene. It will be of bringing Nanjunda out of that Rs10 lakhs case.

238. Hi Shruthi… I felt that u’r update of yesterday’s episode is not upto u’r earlier standards.. Earlier one could almost visualize the scenes reading u’r updates… Today it was not so… Why???

     Also, don’t u people think that CSP need not keep reminding everyone of the time his mind went blank ???? It’s beginning to get on one’s nerves.. After all what does he hope to gain by that reminder?

239. Hi Diya, the explanation is very simple 🙂 I myself did not see half of the serial, i only heard it from my sister. Besides, nothing groundbreaking happened in yesterday’s episode.. it kind of bored me! I guess it showed in my update also 🙂
     Btw, thanks for the compliment, that you could visualize everything in my previous updates 😉
     Will try to do my best from tomorrow 😉

240. To all those who missed the earlier part of the serial yesterday:
     In the first two parts, Nanjunda’s fiancee will be at Nanjunda’s house. Meanwhile Puroshthama comes and enquire’s about the 10 lakhs of rupees that was in his father in laws a/c which come thro’ nanjunda. In a fit of rage, unaware of Nanjunda’s fiancee’s prescence, puroshothama slaps on Nanjunda’s face.
     Then nanjunda, his mother, purushothama, mallikarjuna swamy, gouri will gather in a room and discuss about that 10 lakh issue and all of them takes nanjunda to task. In between, Mallikarjuna swamy takes the blame on himself.
     After that, Nanjunda talks to his fiancee and tells her she can break the relationship if she thinks, that nanjunda is not a good guy.
     After much discussion between them, nanjunda’s fiancee accepts him.
     Above is the saaramsha of the first two parts of yesterday’s serial.

     Mean while now I am listening to a song by DR.Rajkumar and probably S.Janaki (I am not sure here ;-)) from the film HosaBelaku, “NeenadeBalligeJyothi”. One of my favourite song.

241. No probs Shruthi… U are most welcome… And hey, thanx Shruthi… Guess what ??? Now I can miss watching the serial without any regrets…!!!! At least till it becomes interesting…

     And I’m so sad for not getting any replies to my observations 🙁 Hey people, even they are bad, say it… We can then have an ongoing exchange of diverse views from which I’m sure I can learn a lot… 🙂

242. Thanks Murthy, for completing it for me!

     And Diya, you are so right, on Wednesday, I also wondered why he kept saying “Manku aagbitte” “mind blank aagihogitthu”.. he said it lots of times.. Then I thought, maybe he has some idea behind that also 😀
     And Diya, noooo please don’t stop watching, if you stop, we won’t get the benefit of your views! 😀

243. But Shruthi, it’s really not at all as gripping as it was earlier.. It’s now become kind of predictable… The reactions of the various charecters, I mean… Tell me have’nt u also felt sometime what the character is going to say before he/she actually says it ??? And the sudden volte-face of the Judge is also not very convincing… And don’t worry, my views can be shared after reading u’r updates also………….!!!!:)

244. Hi All,
     I am posting it for the first time.. So if somebody is already noted this, then ignore this…

     CSP was used a big words in from of “Mathad Swami” as “naane tumba buddishaali nannanna yaaro solisoke agolla anno sokku bandittu. Ondu minchu hulu sooryana munde nintu soorya nannindane belaguttiddane anno ahankaara bandittu….” & so on.

     But after that CSP only telling that all that dipression funda is drama & he played that drama for the sake of his survival. Do CSP think, we viewers are like “Atada Bombegalu”, whatever he say we keep on listioning.

     I was too impressed with the words that he said in ashrama, but I was feeling too bad with his next words…

     What u people think about this?

245. Diya, I do not know about that, because I started watching Mukta only recently, and so, to me, everything looks new! 🙂

     Sudhi, maybe CSP was not faking entirely, probably he did say those words with feeling. Anyway you may have a point there…. what do the others think?

246. I will not be able to give Friday’s update, can somebody please do it?

247. Friday is entirly csp’s. He fire Ranganaath like any thing.

     On the first part, csp prooved that the fir is missing a paper & it is not matching with his xerox copy. Mainly, in that page, it is clearly mentioned that some constable is informed Ranganaath saying he found the body at early morning 5’o clock.

     On the second part, csp prooved that, the postmartom report also tampered. csp showed that the page in which the time of death & reason of death is mentioned is changed by showing the page number are printed on the top corner rather than at the bottom corner, where as csp xerox copy is proper. Ranganaath was alomost trapped with csp’s argue…

     On the last part, csp finally showed some news papers & some medical words to ensure that Usha (the scintest) is not dead becaz by suiside. & Madhavi reoped this case on usha’s father request. For this reason, she is standing in the court.

     At the last word, csp told Ranganaath that , from now onwards, he will going to ask only Arunachal moorthy’s murder realated question. So be well prepared.

     Let me know if anybody need in detail 🙂

     Its goodthing that to not show a next part of the serial on the break… What u guys feel? And also atleast weekly once they should play the title song 🙁

248. I tried to record Feb 11th episode on my computer. However, only the video has been recorded!!, no sound. Can anyone give( maybe too much to ask) the script ofr this episode (where CSP grills Ranganath), so that I can match the scenes to words.

249. Hey what’s this about…

     Mankuthimmana kagga … idarinda tegedukondiro wordings ..

     Maybe it might be hard to remember but would be good if anyone could recall the wordings that comment referred to (I haven’t read the book, only heard of it).

     Btw as you might’ve guessed I’m back from Chennai 🙂 Really nice to catch up with the updates from here (and also my mom) – thanks! Looking forward to getting back to Muktha from Monday 😀 I found some of the comments really striking – eg the questioning of the fairly widespread notion that only foreign scientists can invent something 😛 Yeah Sudhi I hope they play the title song atleast once in a way – one of my cousins poor guy had been trying to record it for ages but never got it completely!

250. Hello All,

     Is there any way we can watch the missing episode..i missed lost 3-4 bcos of my US travel. Please advise.

     Rgds,Ramesh

251. Hi Ramesh do you belong to Nittur Krishnamurthy’s family???

252. “Mankuthimmana kagga …. idarinda tegedukondiro wordings ..” this is what I referred to when I wrote that…

     May not be the exact words … but i will try to re-phrase .. (somebody correct me if possible)

     sasi bhoomi-inda horage barovaga adakkenu thammategala shabdha irutha …
     Hannu gidadinda horabandaga adakkenu … trumpets barisuthiva ….
     soorya chandra …dina bandhu ee bhoomige belaku , jeeva kottu hoguthillava ….
     Avarella bandhu .. shabhdha illade avara kelasa madikondu hoguthillava …

     Neenu ninna thuti holidu kondu ..kelasa madu … mankuthimma 🙂

253. Hi Sudhi… I think that at that point of time in the serial, CSP was justified in spouting those lines… Maybe he was faking depression, but as he later admits to MP and Desai, the fear of death is enough to send anyone into depression… Maybe he spouted those lines keeping in mind that his arrogance stemmed from the fact that justice is free, pure, simple and the right of all… Maybe, he had not considered that the judge presiding over the case would be so unlike those he had come across earlier that he would be forced to tone down… Also, he might not have expected so fast a threat on his own life… The philosophies he spouted are applicable in both scenarios I feel…

     How about the rest of u??? And Shruthi, if there are people who’ve missed Friday’s episode, I think they would really welcome a more blow-by-blow recount… It was an episode which really deserves one… What do u say ????

254. I just need the lyrics (written) of the title song.
     Might be msanjay can help me in this.

255. Hi everyone,
     I am a 12 year old girl living in Australia, i wanted to know –
     Can someone PLEASE tell me if ETV is not going to be Free to Air after 3 moths because a lot of ppl have been saying that it will and seeing as we’re in Austraila $40 is way too much per month.
     If this is going to happen and Muktha doesn’t finish before ETV becomes a pay channel I beg of you DON’T STOP PROVIDING DAILY UPDATES!! 🙂

     Shruthi Aunty you are doing a lovely job! 🙂

256. Mukta Title as far as I can get:
     Karu moda maleyagi suridaga adara hanige mukti,
     Marada hakki mari rekke beesidare adara garige mukti,
     Manada novu hadagi hommidare bhavakke bandha mukti,
     Endu adevu navu mukta mukta mukta.

     It’s been a long time they have put the title song… so can anyone write the second stanza please?

     Thanks,
     Shridhar

257. Diya, I am neck-deep in work… keep coming here just to read the discussions thats all.. 🙁 I will try and see if I can keep up the updates, but if I cannot, somebody else, please do it for me 🙂
     And that was a good analysis of CSP’s state of mind!

     Anitha, I have written about that beautiful Kagga in my blog – I have also written about Muktha – please check out this link – http://nychthemeron.blogspot.com/2006/02/random-thoughts.html

     Gowri – Ayyo, please don’t call me Aunty, 😀 I am not that old 😀 And I have no idea about ETV becoming a pay channel. Will see if I can find out about it.

258. Gowri,

     Pl call Shruthi as Akka otherwise she might not give the recap of the last episode from now on 😉

259. Hey Shruthi… I visited the link u mentioned but encountered a lot of problems when I tried to post a comment… HELP !!!!!!!!

     And please do try to give the updates… People who missed the episodes would not feel too bad as they would be able to visualize the whole scene… And if u’re really really neck-deep in work, then maybe I can try to fill in for u in the interim…. What do u say???

260. haha 🙂 sorry

     i’ll write out the whole song for those who want it and post it here next time im at school at the moment and i have already gotten in trouble twice for coming on this website because it’s not related to school work! naughty me! I know the song by heart… i’ll write it when i get home tomorrow or today if i can. 😉

     bye cyu everyone and Shruthi AKKA!! 8) hehehehe

261. hi everyone!
     im encountering the same problem as gowri! infact we know each other and go to same school! 8) i had no idea she watched muktha and we are in computer class saw her on muktha page.. she got in trouble and the teacher is with her now… 🙁 so she asked me to write this.. i’ll also try and write the song out! And since we have to record it because of time zone i can write it out easier… well, cyu later

262. Hi
     I have this crazy friend called Amruta who absolutely loves Muktha and in a specific way….T.N Seetharam
     Yes….she is the Amrutha who left a messgae on this website
     She really wanted a photo of T.N Seetharam, but she can’t get one. Can you send her one Sruthi Akka??
     Her e-mail is simpsns_lover@hotmail.com.
     That would be really nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
     I have heard that Etv is going to become a pay channel. Every Kannada friend I know is upset about that!! We should put a strike or sign a petition. They might change their mind
     Anyway gotta go
     BYE
     Luv Vaidehi

263. How sweet, I have become a universal Akka now 😀
     And you naughty girls, all of you accessing Muktha website when you ought to be doing schoolwork 🙂 Very bad, very bad 😉

264. Update – 13th Feb – Monday – Part !

     CSP – Ranganathavare, are your parents alive?
     Ranga – No, they died in 98 and 99.
     CSP – Ok, tell me, why were you transfered to Dhavalagiril in 2003, that too in January, when it was not transfer season?
     Ranga – Govt transfered me, what should i know?
     CSP – See, here is Rane’s letter. It says, Ranga namage tumba bekaaddavaru, his parents are very old and ailing, and live in Dhavalagiri, and there is no one to look after them, so please transfer him to Dhavalagiri. NOw tell me, if your parents died in 98 and 99, how did they become old and ailing in 2003? Thats why i asked you that day, if you believe in devva bhootha.
     Ranga sweats.
     CSP- There were some gold mining activities going on there, and Chhabria’s company was involoved. The local people were protesting, and so you were brought in to suppress the protests. So for Chhabria, you were brought in with the help of Rane. how convenient!
     Ranga – no, it was not like that, Govt transfered me what should i know? And if ppl were protesting, i brought situation under control, is that bad.
     CSP – whatever u did, it was for Chhabria’s convenience. ok leave that. now tell me why you were transfered from Dhavalagiri to Devakoppa in Oct 2005, again when it was not transfer season.
     Ranga repeats- Govt transfered me. i dont know anything.
     CSP – ok, here is a letter from Rane asking for your transfer – Ranga namage tumba bekaaddavaru, his parents are very old and ailing, and live in Devakoppa, and there is no one to look after them, so please transfer him to Devakoppa. Same thing, Now your parents came back from the dead, and are old and ailing in Devakoppa. Why? And look at the time. it was not transfer season, it was exactly one month after Madhavi opened Usha’s murder case, and exactly one month before Arunachalamurthy’s murder. Now waht does that say? yOU were brought in to Devakoppa to make sure that the whole thing is shut up as an accident. But unfortunately for you, Madhavi escaped.

265. Part 2

     SS – your honour. there are thousands of transfers each day based on false reasons like this, can all those be linked to murders? this is a figment of CSP’s imagination.
     Ranga – what is this CSP, I am getting very angry if you put all kind of false charges against me.. I will ahve to take action against you.
     CSP – gets angry – shouts at him – Take action, what will you do!
     Judge – Mr Ranganath, the lawyer has the right to ask questions like that, if you threaten him, i will have to take action against you. Mr CSP, please soften your questions, this man is a police officer.
     CSP – I get very angry at him, your honour. there are lots of great police officers, i have so much respect for them. ppl like him bring a bad name to the entire police department.
     Judge – ok continue.
     CSP – Ok. leave it, do u keep a case diary?
     Ranga – yes.
     CSP – see in madhavi’s case diary, she has written that on the previous day of the murder, she had raised doubts about people causing trouble on the day of the jaathre, and she wanted to call in backup police but you said no, lets have backup at Devakoppa, if necessary we will call them to the jaathre.
     Ranga – no, she has written nonsense, in fact i was the one who said thre should be back up police, and she said no.
     CSP – ok, have you written? then show it.
     Ranga shows a book – a diary with “Arunachalamurthy murder case” wirtten on it, and the first entry is this police meeting.
     CSP – when did u write it?
     Ranga – wrote it on tht day itself Nov 23rd – day of meeting.
     CSP – so mr ranga, on previous day itself you knew that next day Arunachalamurthy would be murdered? you have opened a book only with that name “murder case” on the previous day!
     Ranga majorly sweats, everybody sweats.
     End.
     NOTE: Diya, of course you can take over the updates from me! It will be of utmost help! Thank you. And on the days you cannot, do let me know, and I will provide the update.

266. Heh heh I really liked one of the dialogues… Ranga says “umm… marthoithu…” and CSP says “houda… iri iri gnaapasthini iri…” 😀

     hey girls from Australia – great to see you here – one of my cousins lives with his family (and 2 kids) in Sydney – if you’re in that neighbourhood, email me and I’ll give you his contact details – I’m sure they’ll be delighted to meet you!

     Anitha, thanks a ton for the wordings – I’m definitely inspired to read the book. – That’s a very cool writeup about it on Shrutiakka’s 😉 blog btw.

267. OK Shruthi… But do let me know beforehand when I’ll be required to stand-in for u…

268. Diya, if you are comparatively free and can afford to give a regular daily update, then you please take over completely. If not possible, then I will continue and do my best, and will just leave a message here when it is absolutely impossible to give an update. Then you or someone else can fill in for me 🙂

269. It’s a small world.. it’s a small world… It is actually a bit difficult to do the lyrics without them playing it! Anyway, Vaidehi, Gowri and I were wondering at school today, that if would all you guys keep submitting comments even when the show is finished.. 😀 Will write out song in 2 days

270. Kudos to all you 12 year old girls!

     You not only have a good taste in watching ‘Muktha’, but are also mature enough to comment on it!

     I am pleasantly surprised that you guys are in touch with latest technologies – the internet/mail and blogs – to share your thoughts at such a young age! 🙂

     Makes me wonder, what was I doing when I was 12 year old? 😉

     Chaitanya
     PS: Keep watching mukhta and this thread, but not during classes!

271. Ha ha :)) I am Akka only to twelve-year old girls, ok, Sanjay? 😀
     I have a question – CSP keeps asking questions, and Ranganath does not answer any of those, he just remains silent. I know that it means he is guilty, but is it acceptable in court? Being silent?

272. Shruthi Akka,

     It depends on whether the lawyer persists. If the lawyer persists and there is continued silence, then the judge can “order” the witness to respond.
     CSP being a smart lawyer wants to prove his point. Once that is accomplished, he moves on!
     😉

273. Audio version of Manku Thimmana Kaggagalu:
     http://www.udbhava.com/usearch/search.spring?qs=manku&searchsubmit=Go&at=on&st=on&ly=on&md=on&ps=on&cat=0

274. Update – 14th Feb – Tuesday.

     Nanjunda goes to Navudkar and tells him that he is in trouble and that only Navudkar can help him. He says that he has cheated Navudkar. He says that he did not give Mr. Prabhu the ten lakhs that had to be given, by the time he went tehre, Mr Prabhu was dead, and so he kept it to himself. Navudkar says, look at your Dhairya telling me this.. now you have come because you are stuck in a robbery case, correct? You gave that money to Shivaprakash, and the police have traced it as the money stolen from Vishal Dubey of Mumbai. Nanjunda asks, how do u know all this? Navudkar says, because I was the one who asked Vishal Dubey to complain, coz I knew you would come to me then. Now I want that ten lakhs back within ten days. After that, even God cannot save you.

     Court scene.
     CSP – Next to Arunachalamurthy’s(AM) body, MP’s revolver was found correct?
     Ranga – yes.
     CSP- were there fingerprints on it?
     Ranga – Yes, only MP’s – see, here is the report.
     CSP – ok. u told me u had to put a tarpaulin over the body that day, why, and at what time?
     Ranga- it rained very heavily. started at 7 30 pm, we put tarpaulin at 9 00 pm.
     CSP – then, Ranga, wouldn’t all fingerprints have been erased by rain water, when revolver was also in the rain next to AM’s body? When the revolver went for testing, there could not have been anyone’s fingerprints on it. impossible. but these ppl have got a false report saying that MP’s fingerprints were on it.
     Ranga sweats.

     CSP- ok leave that, one last point your honour. Ranga, think of human nature. When galaate started at the jaathre, why did AM go in MP’s car? Logically he would have escaped in his car itself, correct? If you consider that MP had taken out brake oil from her car, so that AM could go in it, how would MP have been so sure that AM would go in her car only, and not in anybody else’s car? can u explain it?
     Ranga – Probably AM’s car was not around, so he went in MP’s car.
     CSP – why was it not around?
     Ranga – the murderers would have planned to keep AM’s car very far away, so that AM won’t get his car and will have to go in MP’s car.
     CSP – ok, please permit me to show the footage of the incident taken by Chitra channel on that day,
     JUdge – permitted.
     CSP brings TV and shows a part of the footage. AM is standing with others, when Ranga comes hurriedly and says “Sir, The people are doing a lot of galaate, your car is right in the middle of the people. Shall I get the driver to park it somewhere else, far away?” AM says yes.
     Ranga sweats a lot. CSP smiles and replays the clipping.
     Ranga cannot stop sweating.
     CSP – you were the one who said that the murderers kept the car far away. So who is the murderer now? You, right?
     That’s all, your honour 🙂

275. Sandesh Anna, Thank you very much for the explanation, explanation accepted 😀

276. Shruthi, I really admire the way you remember each and every conversation…Hats off to your memory..

     Yesterday I missed seeing the serial, my husband was asking how is that you are missing your favourite serial, I said no problem I will get an update from Shruthi tomorrow morning that too sentence by sentence 🙂

     Thanks a lot ….

277. Im missing Muktha 🙁 that too when its going through this very very good stage, when culprits are on the verge of being punished. 🙁 boooooo. But Shruti ur daily update brings Muktha on my monitor, may be even my monitor is loving the faces that I do when I read this blog 😀 Can someone come up with ideas to record and post these VERY IMPORTANT episodes. Waiting for a positive inputs. 🙂

278. I think too many Akka and Annas here, Anyway it sgood. Its good tradition to addresss like that.Hope all Akka tangiyaru and Anna tammaandiru are enjoying the great smartness of Muktha. Could not control shouting THats all your honour along with CSP yestreday night !!!. I think today CSP will talk about Ranga’s relation with MP’s car driver ( I think his name is Devaraju??). Looking forward for cross examination of Doctor/Ballistic expert and our Sandhya Mangalvaaade,How can anybody on this earth can have talent like TNS, he gives complexion to any great directors , ??

279. Hi Shruthi… Thanx for such a prompt update… I missed yesterday’s episode and it looks like I’ll be missing it for the rest of this week too… So, from next Tuesday, I can fill in for u if u want..

     As for the point clarified by Sandesh, I would like to add that all of the witnesses silences become immaterial during the closing stages of the case, even if they were to indicate guilt.. CSP by refraining from being too persistent only manages to damage the credibility of the witness. The judge cannot take silence on the part of a witness as proof of his guilt, but only to show duplicity on his part. This in turn creates a doubt in the judge’s mind regarding the other testimonies of the witness. So, the closing arguments assume great importance, as it is then that the lawyer weaves a fine spun web of words whereby he links the silence of the witness and the actual concrete proof he has, to show malicious intent at worst and outright guilt, at best…

     As the famous Sanskrit sayings go… Not only do we have “Maunam Sammati Soochakam (Silence signifies assent) “, but also, “Maunam Kalaham Naasti (Silence ensures no fights) “…………………….

280. Yest CSP’s query was a logical one “why arunachala murthy prefer to go by madhavi patel’s car rather than his own car”

     Along with chabbria, rane and inspector ranganath even i had never given a thought to that incident.

     This goes to prove that inprocess to make others commit one mistake , we tend to make 100s of those.

     Veda sulladaru Gaadhe sullagadu!!!!!!!!!!

281. Shruthi akka, :-))

     I missed the first part of the episode as I was in a meeting. But I was watching the action, on the screem albeit with a low volume, so could not follow much. Your presentaion gave me a clear picture. Thanks

     Neevu koduva updates galu kannige kattidhante iruththadhe.

     Thumba dhanyavaadalu.

282. Sandesh listeing to Mankuthimmana kagga. It is good.
     thanks for sharing the same.

283. Thanks, all my younger brothers and sisters 😉 for the nice compliments! This is what keeps me going 😉
     Diya, have you studied law? :O

284. hi Shruthi,
     Thanks for your prompt update. I would like to add few things that is surprisingly missed in your update (I am using the word ‘surprise’ because usually you never miss anything in your updates). CSP asks for Ranga’s mobile no. He denies saying that he never gives his mobile no to anyone. CSP shows his mobile no. details and the number. CSP asks Ranga whether he called the police station any time on the previous day of the murder. Ranga says no. CSP asks Ranga what time did MP called Nagendrappa to order him to close the road on the previous night. Ranga says around 9:15 pm. CSP shows the details of the outgoing calls of Ranga’s mobile no. and incoming calls of the police station on that day. CSP shows outgoing call details of Ranga’s mobile at 9:15 pm to the police station. Ranga sweats.
     Bye,
     Keshav

285. Shruthi Akka :), I’m not a law student…. 🙂 But, why the sudden doubt ??? And yeah, I agree wholeheartedly with Murthy when he says “Neevu koduva updates galu kannige kattidhante iruththadhe”….

286. I have a thought here:
     I am optimistic all of you would agree on this.
     Request all of you to mention your email id’s so that we can make a group and keep in touch thro’ the group.
     Hope no one has any reservation with respect to this.

     Thanks

287. Shruthi akka neevu news reporter hagi kelasa madutha iddira ??? Word by Word nenapu ettukondu update maduthiri addake.

288. Keshav, I KNEW I had forgotten something very important! Thank you so much for adding to it! 🙂 I think from now on, I should sit in front of the TV with a pen and notepad 😀

     Diya, your explanation seemed highly learned and technical, that’s why I asked 🙂

     No, Prasanna, I am not a news reporter 😀 And anyway Keshav has proved that my update was not word to word 🙁 😉

     Murthy, are you suggesting that we continue this same discussion and comments in a group mail instead of on this site? That is a good idea, but there is one problem – what about new people who come to this place looking for comments and info and updates? They will miss out on it. Any ideas?

289. Hi everyone
     I am Abhishek…or Abhi as some people like to call me!!
     Well, you might know me
     I am a Bollywood actor…the famous Amitabh Bachan’s son!
     Well, I can understand Kannada…thhoda thhoda (little…little)
     You see I had been to Bangalore for a shooting for a film, actually my first one and over there I had seen this ‘Muktha’ Show. I liked it so much and from then on I haven’t stopped watching it…when I have time. I just went on the internet and typed in Muktha and found this website. Welldone to those 12 year olds…you are true fans of Muktha!
     Anyway got to run
     By the way…you have dona magnificent job on those updates Sruthi!
     BYE
     Love always…Abhishek Bachan

290. I too agree with Murthy…. At least the hard-core fans(!!!???!!!) among us could continue such illuminating discussions, not neccessarily about Muktha alone…. Speaking from my perpective, I can truly say that not only have I come across a lot of like-minded people, but have also learnt a lot, from the various views shared here… And I don’t think Murthy meant for us to keep our comments limited only to that group (if we do form one)… Am I right Sir??? And if so, there’s nothing the newcomers to this site will be missing…

     And Shruthi, I don’t know what to make of u’r answer to my question…. So, when in doubt, as always, I’ll take it as a compliment…!!!!!!!!! So, thanx a ton…..!!!!!!!!!!

291. Shruthi Akka,

     We will continue the discussions in this blog itself, but apart from that, we can stay in touch, for topics apart from muktha.

     wat say ?

292. How come Abhishek “Bachan” forgot the spelling of his second/last name.
     As far as I know Bachan should spell as “BACHCHAN” and not “BACHAN”

     It would be great if people refrain from posting such fake messages , so that the sanctity of this website would be maintained.

293. Good observation Anitha, looks like CSP has had a good influence on you 😉 but anyway its ok I dont think theres any need to take it too seriously 🙂

     Mr. Bacha… er… Bachan, what a great honor to have you hear! 😀 Glad you could get time to comment here inspite of your shooting! Hmm wonder how you’re post comes from Australia though… How do I know? Well… being the site admin I could see IP addresses you know 8) …and btw would you happen to know Amruta and the others by any chance…

     Shruti, thanks for the images link, I put two of them here as you might’ve noticed 🙂

     Sandesh I really loved that audio link, thanks!

     Murthy, its a nice idea to keep in touch, I definitely agree! I’d not really recommmend publishing your email ids openly here or anywhere (I already have all your mail ids 😉 but dont want to do take any liberties with them) Or even if you’re sure its ok for you, write your mail id only in the form of “name at something dot com” to prevent spamming threads collecting it. I’ll create a seperate page for non-Muktha related discussion and put the link on this page.

     ——-

     Here’s a brief inroduction (only starting part) for today

     Today CSP was supposed to cross-examine the post-mortem doctor. But Suryavamshi tells the doctor not to come to court, giving a letter that he has something else to do, and calls the inspector (forgot name – not Ranganath but the other main guy – the same one that Sheela had cross-examined earlier) instead.

     CSP is surprised when this is announced in court, but as usual he’s stirred but not shaken… he makes fun of Suryavamshi openly accusing him of it and later has to hear the judge crib telling him to get started.

     He then first apologises to the inspector for having called him a second time and gives him the specific reason for doing so, and then starts with the cross-examination.

     Hmm there were some pretty delicate points, I can remember only parts of it, I think I better leave it to the experts to continue…

294. Diya, of course it was a compliment 🙂

     Murthy and Diya, that’s a good idea, anyway I already feel I know you all 😉 – SAnjay can take over!

     Abhishek Bachchan, welcome! Good that u r a Muktha fan. You know, you are not the only celebrity here – Murthy means Narayana Murthy, Diya means Diya Mirza, see? Sanjay is Sanjay Kapoor, Kumar means Akshay Kumar… and lots more 🙂

295. Since Sanjay has given the first part, I will continue from there.

     [Let me add, that csp was in a good mood, saying, DR maitreyee asked me to be in a good mood to combat depression, and she herself, like sandhya mangalvade, yavaglu hubbu gantu haakikondirthare :)]

     csp – inspector, when did u go the scene of the crime?
     insp – i got a call late at night that home minister has passed away, so a squad was formed, and we left immediately.
     csp – is a squad always formed?
     insp – no, here home min was dead, and foul play was suspected.
     csp – what is foul play? brake oil illa anthana?
     insp – yes.
     csp – insp avare, you did not find out that there was no brake oil until you examined it. then how could they say there was foul play?
     insp – thats what our DGP told us when he called us.
     csp – meaning, the local police, ie insp ranganath must have told him, correct? that means ranganath already knew that there was foul play.
     insp – yes irabahudu.

     csp – now tell me, can this scenario occur? there was brake oil in the car, but the driver did not apply brakes, and so the car fell down the cliff. possible?
     insp – yes.

     csp – ok, now when sheela prasad examined u, she said that maybe the nut had come loose and that is why brake oil might have leaked, and you confirmed that for that much brake oil to leak, you should have travelled lots more distance.
     insp – yes.
     csp – driver brahmachar said that he had left a little brake oil, around 50-60 ml, and by the time it reached the cliff, that must have leaked and become empty.
     insp – yes. that is what must have happened.

     csp – ok. so which spots did u examine at the accident?
     insp – the spot where the car had fallen and the spot at the cliff, at which point car fell off.
     csp – did u find any tyre marks there?
     insp – no. it had rained and everything was washed off.
     csp – but u see, the press had gone there immediately and got some photos.. see here are the snaps.
     He shows one snap at the cliff, Devadhara jalapaata is in the background, and there are tyre marks there. He shows one blow-up which shows some deep tyre marks, deeper than the other marks.
     csp – what does this deep mark show?
     insp – usually when brakes are applied, this kind of marks are formed.
     csp – also see this, the tyres go towards a different direction first, if it had gone that way, it would not have fallen in chhabria’s property. so the car has braked, and turned such that it fell in chhabria’s propery. correct?
     insp – yes correct. thats what has happened.
     csp – then the brakes were working at that point.
     insp – yes definitely.
     csp – meaning, the brake oil was removed after the accident, and the driver purposely let the car fall off the cliff.
     insp – yes that is what it looks like.
     End.
     [I got a phone call during the last part – if i have missed out anything, please add.]

296. Hi,
     I am working in USA; I had seen this serial during my last vacation in INDIA and became fan to TNS. I am requesting you to update this serial every day.

     Thanks
     Shashi

297. Small Part which Shruti left,

     There was adeviation in the Tyre Marks when brakes were applied and brakes were applied two times before going towards fall, The first tyre marks were towards feft and the second one was towards right, that is because when car took diversion it was going towards left which will lead to bushes hence driver applied brake and turned it towards jalapatha so that it will fal exactly innto Chabria’s guest house and not anywhere else, similarly since car cas moving towards right driver again changes the direction hence there was two brake marks . That means car was deliberately driven towards jalapatha so that it falls into chabria guest house only and both pasengers will die.
     Since teh brakes were applied there must be brake oil in the drum otherwise brakes will not work, when car falls after travelling just 50 feet and when vehicle inspector checks up teh drum absolutely there was no oil at all in the drum and as per inspector it would take atleast 12-13 Kms for all 50 ml oil to get leaked in the loosned thread,That means when car fell there was brake oil and the same is deliberately removed completely after the car fell down to guest house , for this Vehicle inspector agrees, and thats the end

298. Kumar, thanks a lot! So you have yday’s update in three parts – Sanjay, Shruthi and Kumar 🙂 Don’t miss out on any of those 🙂

299. HI,

     I have a major doubt… Is it allowed practice that the prosecution changes the order of producing the witnesses for re-crossexamination?? Is’nt there a rule somewhere saying that the defence concel is to be given a prior notice??? I’ve raised this point only to satisfy my academic curiosity… even if this is actually not allowed I’m sure it provided a good scene in the serial.. How I wish I could’ve seen it…..

     Well anyways, my heartfelt thanx to Sanjay, Shruthi and Kumar for the updates….

300. The vehicle inspector name is shiva swamy 🙂

301. Also shruthi is also a celebrity, the latest hit being Rama Shama Bhama 😉

302. Hello, 😀

     Sanjay (anna? tell me wat you prefer and I’ll call you that…) I was just wondering…did you by any chance update this website? 🙂 Because for the past two days whenever I tried going on it it just said HTTP error and I was so annoyed!!! 🙁 I tried in the library at school again said the same thing and i told Vaidehi and she said she didn’t know and maybe you had removed the site!!!!!!!!!! 🙁 I wwas so upset because as you know ETV is gonna become Pay channel and I wouldn’t be able to access what happens in Muktha! I was like ARGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😛

     Anyway, Anna, you told me that you know someone from Sydney, I’m sorry I live in Melbourne, but I asked my Mum and she said that she knows someone from Sydney and apparently he has two children as well… Tell me his name and Ill check again..

     By the way… Chaitanya (Anna? again please tell me what you prefer…) thank you and im sure you were doing something interesting when you were 12! 😀

     Shruthi Akka It took me about 6 minutes to read your update.. It was really good and thankyou for doing that… Shruthi Akka can you please e-mail me? Just on simpsns_lover at hotmail dot com that would be great, I don’t know yours otherwise I would have e-mailed you…

     I want to know how to be in touch with you because if this website stops working like it did the other days then I can still be up to date with what happens.. If you e-mail me then I’ll know your e-mail, I didn’t want to ask you because then everyone will know your e-mail, but I don’t care if people know mine…

     Finally,
     This is the best website I’ve ever been on in my life, (not kidding! :)) and hope everyone’ll still come to chat even if Muktha finishes…

     Muktha is going well and I have only remembered half the song (title song) I wish they’d play it so that I can write it down..

     Sorry if I wrote a too long message… :$

     Cya later

303. Amrutha, I could not stop smiling as I read your comment 🙂 You actually timed how long it would take to read my update? Ok I will mail you today to your id!

     Diya, yes, I also got that doubt – whether they could change the order of the witnesses like that. But SS gave the reason that there had been a murder and the doctor had to go urgently to perform an autopsy. Maybe in extremely urgent cases like this, it is allowed. Anyway, if anybody else knows anything about this, please let us know!

     Murthy, yes you are right 😉 I am also a celebrity 😉 But it looks like our Abhishek “Bachan” has disappeared!

304. Abhishek Bachan may be out on a shoot kabhie Alvida Na kehna. A karan Johar film 🙂

305. Hey Sanjay, since you have all our id’s can you make a group id and send it across to us.

306. Update – 16th Feb – Thursday

     Manmohan and Supriya go to the temple. Arundhati and her friend Anupama are there. They go to talk, but the situation is awkward. Manmohan asks, “devasthanakke bandiddira”, Anupama tries to joke “Illa Cinema nodokke”.. but nobody laughs, and they just leave.

     Purushotthama and Priya go to Nanjunda’s house. Nanjunda has gone somewhere. Purushotthama asks Gowri about Kempusanjeevini soppu, she says that Chhabria’s company is protesting against using that soppu, and so work has stalled. Nanjunda then comes in, tells everybody what Navudkar told him. He says that Navudkar had probably asked the local rowdy Jagan to keep an eye on him, and thats how he knew everything. He says, he has to come up with ten lakhs in ten days. Gowri says, the factory is in trouble, i cannot even ask Annapurnamma. So Nanjunda says, lets see, there are ten more days. will do something.

     Court scene.

     Continuation of examination of Vehicle inspector Shivaswamy(VISS)

     [I will be brief – no word to word today, please :)]

     csp shows spanner that brahmachar had showed, saying madhavi patel had given it to him to loosen the nut and take out the brake oil,and asks VISS whether the nut could have been loosened with this spanner. VISS examines it and says, no, not possible.

     CSP asks whether the rear left hand door of the car had some problem. VISS checks records and says, yes it had problems. CSp says that MP had fired a shot with her revolver to open the door as it got stuck, so she could not have shot one more shot at AM, coz only one bullet was missing from her revolver.

     CSP now says, usually in an accident, the car doors get jammed, so that it is difficult to open. but here, the car doors were wide open. Could they open while falling? VISS says, very slight possibility, but next to impossible. So CSP says it must have been opened before it starts falling off the cliff.

     Next, CSP tackles the position of AM’s body lying underneath the car. He quotes Newton’s Law of Motion. He said, assuming that MP had shot him and killed him, and AM’s body was still in the car, his lifeless body would have had to go along with the car as it fell off the cliff. He says, maximum, it would have fallen thro the windscreen or got jammed between front and back seats. It would surely not have gone and fallen underneath the front RIGHT wheel. VISS agrees. CSP says, even by some strange logic, the lifeless body had fallen out of the car towards the left, out of the open door, then how would the body have fallen? So VISS says, yes, considering Newton’s laws, the body and the car would have fallen splayed, in Y shape with respect to each other, definitely not together. So CSP says, then can it be that the body was moved and placed underneath the car after the accident? VISS says, yes, its highly possible.

     [All the experts, please proceed with corrections and additions – Thank you! :)]

307. Amruta, no special preference you can call me whatever you like 🙂 I’ve mailed you my brother (cousin)’s details. Too bad this website is down sometimes, its outside the boundary of my control so best option is to just accept it 8) and try again later. The host is in the US – maybe sometimes they upgrade the server or theres a network failure or something (the website dosen’t go down while I’m updating it). Anyway glad you like this page – quite natural since those who write here are all fans of TNS! 🙂

308. So here it goes… the lyrics of Muktha title song.

310. Brahmachar had said in court that he came to jatre by van hence he could not use his spanner and MPatel gave him spanner whcih can be used for brakedrum of Ambassador car which Mpatel is using. CSP produces aletter which Mpatel had given to Police garahge asking them to change the Brakeset of her Ambassador car with Brake set which is generally used in 4 wheel drive vehicles since it was a hilly region and she may have to do chases for which good brakes are reqd. So with this CSP proved that whatever Brahmachar told is wrong and he has not done anything and is simply lieing.As procsecution mentioned there was problem is the left door so unless some force from inside acted that door would not have opend, The doors lockl mechanism will be based on the latch and in that door the latch is broken by some force which can be bulet from Madhavi patel’s revolver which she herself has told that to open the door she fired bullet, Since only one bullet is spent she can no way kill AM.EOD now it is proved that while falling car was having proper brakes since the driver had applied brakes two times bfor diverting car towards prapatha, when Vehicle Inspector checked the brake oil was not there , that means oil is removed deliverately and according to any laws of physics there is no way that AM’s body could have fallen like that unless somebody pulled from somewhere and left there.

     i really like this song… it has a great tune… GUESS WHAT!! hehe .. 😛

     I have just learned to play this song on the Keyboard and guitar and Veena.. people tell me it sounds good…

     Sanjay Anna, so his name is Udianna? I wasn’t sure..

     Shruthi Akka, I didn’t recieve the mail you sent.. maybe the spelling wasn’t correct?

     Other day when CSP was re-examining Inspector Rangnath, he pointed out the fact about the pg. numbers… I thought that was a really good point, and so did my dad, Ravindra (yes, the same Ravindra who had earlier comeon this site..)

     😀

     Have fun, keep smiling!

312. Oh my God ….

     SORRY
     I didn’t realise that Chitanya Anna has written it in English………… 🙁

     And By the way,
     Where did Abhishekh BACHCHAN go?

     haha…
     I understand that his father was in Amrytha dhaare and one other old kannada film, but i haven’t seen Abhishekh in any or (abhi.. lol)

     How do you know kannada may I ask? Just because you were in Bangalore… which film shooting were you doing? LOL

     Shruthi Akka you said earlier..

     ” Keshav, I KNEW I had forgotten something very important! Thank you so much for adding to it! I think from now on, I should sit in front of the TV with a pen and notepad ”

     I thought you already did that because your updates are so detailed!

313. I heard that yesterday, they played the title track after ages… Does it mean that TNS or someone from his team has across this page and are taking the comments posted here in true spirit????!!!!!!!! Seems too much of a coincidence otherwise, is’nt it????????!!!!!!!!!!

314. Thats fine Amruta! Never mind… now no one will miss the lyrics, its here in all forms.

     I had done plenty of googling for its lyrics, even in unicode, kannada etc but for no luck. Now I guess even Google-uncle will catch this page for others.

     Also, I am OK, if you call me anna. My age is greater than 12 anyway :-D.

     Chaitanya

315. Hi Chaitanya, Amruta – Thanks for the lyrics 🙂 Yesterday, when they played the song, I was thinking, aha, now everyone would have gone into a frenzy, recording, writing, remembering …… :))

     Diya – Yes, its too much of a coincidence :))

     Amruta – No I have not yet started holding a notebook and a pen in my hand, but I concentrate very hard, and if someone tries to talk to me, I say “Shhh Shhh…. I have to give updates! :)” Sometimes its quite a strain 😉 anyway my memory is improving 😀
     Will mail u tonight – sorry bout that!

316. Manmohan and Supriya are still in the temple. Manmohan is disturbed and Supriya asks why, he says, its nothing. Supriya says, is it because of Arundhati, I heard you were good friends and you helped her a lot, why didn’t you talk to her? Manmohan over-reacts a little, in his effort at proving that he is fine. Supriya says, I just want to clarify, coz i am going to marry you, and i want to know what ur relationship was with her. He explains how he knows her, and at Supriya’s insistence, he acknowledges that yes, he had loved her and wanted to marry her. Supriya says, so she rejected you? What does she have, for her to reject you? Status, looks, qualifications, etc, etc, she is no better than you. How can she reject u? Manmohan speaks sternly, tells her not to say anything against Arundhati. Supriya says, fine, i dont care abuot ur past, i just am worried about ur future, i want u to become a powerful politician. They leave.

     Anupama brings Arundhati some coffee and tries to get Arun to speak out her feelings. She asks who that girl with Manmohan was. When Aru says that it is the girl Manmohan is engaged to, Anu is shocked and sad, she says, why, you two were supposed to marry. Aru says, but not now. Anu says, you dont tell us anything. ARu says, I am nott th kind who will scream from atop utility building my feelings for somebody. she says, it is good for him to marry Supriya, good for his career. So Anu tries to taunt her, saying, so you made a big sacrifice is it? Don’t u feel bad when u see Manmohan marrying someone else? Dont u have feelings for him still? Aru does not say anything, she just walks out.

     Chhabria and Rane are sitting, morosely in Suryavamshi’s house. They say that they are considering hiring one more lawyer to assist him. SS is insulted, he says, you can hire him, I will retire from the case. He says, what has gone wrong? nothing has gone wrong. To Chhabria’s and Rane’s questions, he says:
     1)Ranganath is a fool, he just got shook up when asked unexpected questions.
     2)About the gun, he shows the photo and says, the gun was under the car, it cuold not have got wet. here is the proof.
     3)About the tyre marks, csp could have got photos from anywhere, in the forest, all trees and bushes look alike. what is the proof these tyre marks are from that spot itself?
     [There were some more points, which he says he can prove are wrong – I am not able to recollect all of them]
     Chhabria and Rane are relieved.
     Suryavamshi says, ok now i will ask u a question, please answer honestly, “Did you plan the murder of Arunachalamurthy?”
     Chhabria and Rane are silent. They look at each otehr. Finally Chhabria says “Yes we had no other go. both of them had to die”.
     Suryavamshi is shocked and troubled. He breaks out in a sweat. He says “Bad, very bad. It is inhuman to murder somebody. It is unethical to defend such a case too.”.. But he collects himself and says “But I dont want to lose against that halli vakeela and saahiti CSP. i will start working with this in mind, and will send MP and SKD to jail”.
     They all drink to it, and give wicked smiles.

     [MY feeling -Suryavamshi was so shocked when he heard it, that it seemed impossible and unnatural that he recovers so quickly and agrees to cooperate with Chhabria and Rane. I feel that this is a turning point, he will do something else, and he only pretended to be ok with it, coz he is afraid that they will murder him too, coz he now knows the truth. — of course, this is just my feeling :)]

317. I accidentally stumbled upon this site…and its so wonderful. Mukta was something I never missed. But now am in a far away land and you guys are doing a wonderful job of writing down the transcripts of the happenings….”Million thanks” is the only possible way I can express my gratitude…

318. An addition to yday’s update. While Suryavamshi keeps giving point after point and telling how he could counter CSP’s arguments, Chhabria and rane ask why he did not counter these points at that stage itself. So he says, I will do all this at the end. If I start countering them now itself, CSP will get warned. Let him keep proceeding with the assumption that he is winning, and let him get over-confident. You know, all this depression was faked, just to throw mud on our faces. Let him proceed, I will demolish his case at the end, and then we can see him sweat. Rane and Chhabria are happy [This happened before they reveal that they were the ones who got Arunachalamurthy murdered]

319. Hi everyone
     By the way Anitha, I think I know how to spell my last name…some people like to spell it as Bachhan…or Bacchan but I spell it like Bachan….it’d definitely not be bachchan! My message is from Australia because I am in Perth right now. I am here with my sister, her daughter and husband, just for a holiday. I don’t know who Amruta is. I only know the Amruta from Amrutha dhaare. Anyway, I am still here. I can’t write regular messages as I am quite busy with my family. So, this is not a fake message!! I AM REAL!! My first film was ‘Dhai Akshar Prem Ke’. We had to take alot of country shots for that, and in that case because we went to Bangalore for that, the relatives which I used to stay with there usd to watch Muktha.
     Anyway got to go!
     Oh and by the way Sruthi, it’s great that there are other stars on this website as well!

320. No offence
     I think that the Muktha website is really weird………and stupid. If you’re wondering why I bothered to do this…it’s because I had nothing else to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@#$%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%^&&&*()

321. Chhabria and Rane are sitting, morosely in Suryavamshi’s house. They say that they are considering hiring one more lawyer to assist him. SS is insulted, he says, you can hire him, I will retire from the case.

     He says that rather than concede that he needs additional help and he’s incapable of solving it himself, he would rather be completey replaced.

     
     1)Ranganath is a fool, he just got shook up when asked unexpected questions.
     

     He also says that Ranganath made a show of being very intelligent, and had fooled all of them into thinking he was capable of putting up some questioning, but couldn’t!

     “Bad, very bad. It is inhuman to murder somebody. It is unethical to defend such a case too.”
     .. But he collects himself and says
     nimma ethics nimage, nanna ethics nanage.

     (Sanjay: This is a pretty crucial statement. I think one must really evaluate this to see if this logic makes sense)

     
     “But I dont want to lose against that halli vakeela and saahiti CSP. i will start working with this in mind, and will send MP and SKD to jail”.
     

     There’s another thing he says for reassurance – that he’s worked on over 100s of criminal cases, whereeas for CSP its after all only the fourth criminal case, ashte.

     ——–

     In my opinion, for Suryavamshi, his ego – his image as a lawyer – is of higher importance than his sense of ethics which only surfaced for a fleeting moment before getting sent back to paathaaLa where he had buried it long ago. Because its the same man who’s been manipulating witnesses, doctoring evidences etc… 😉 But I guess murder was a bit more than he had bargained for. I am sure it will surface again (and again) when he tries to sleep etc. One thing is this shows the gray character – its not that Suryavamshi is an outright villain.

     But anyway Shruti’s hypothesis sounds logical as well – he might’ve just done that for his own safety, to cover up his initial reaction.

322. Kishan (so many people coming here from Australia!), its ok if this website isn’t upto your mark, I’m sure you can make a much better one yourself esp considering that you have nothing else to do 😉 Mr. Bachan, since you know the name of your first film, I guess you have to be real since nobody else would’ve known about it 8)

323. Hi Sanjay, good you gave all those clarifications. Actually that “Nimma ethics nimage, nanna ethics nanage” was in direct contrast to his previous statement, “this is unethical”. In fact, this struck me, but I missed writing it out. Can you throw any light on this, coz I did not really understand what he meant.

324. Since suryavamshi knows the truth, and as shruthi said, suryavamshi might have tried to save his own skin by pretending to get along with Chabria and Rane. I have a thinking, may be a weird one, suryavamshi may try and help CSP in this case, so that the culprits Rane and chabria can be punished.

325. I visited this site http://www.chitraranga.com/picbase/search.asp?keyword=mukta&p_cat=29.
     This contains muktha photos but TNS photos are not here.

326. Helooo!!

     Mr. Abhi, I am Amrita Rao and you can’t spell your last name the way you want because it’s already been decided for you…=]

     Hi Mr. Kishan if you have nothing else to do don’t waste your time on something you dont like to do … =] lol joke

     I really really liked Suryavamshi’s expression in Friday’s epoisode
     when he said that he didn’t approve of them committing the murder…

     And Abhi, it’s really great that you can cum here in your free time but plz… i beg you not 2… coz your ruining your (his) reputation by writing such fake messages..

     😛
     Amruta

     P.S. Shruthi Akka, I took a phoo of your update! HAHA!! It was so long…

     G2G bye bye… 😛 🙂

327. Actually that “Nimma ethics nimage, nanna ethics nanage” was in direct contrast to his previous statement, “this is unethical”

     Yeah that’s right – at first he exclaims “This is unethical!” and then after a moment goes on to say “nimma ethics….” There are two possibilities. One is as we discussed he sensed danger and covered his reaction with an explanation. In this case, Murthy’s speculation might not be too far-fetched and he might even discreetly help out CSP.

     The other possibility is that he felt he is nobody to judge what others do, and felt that if Rane & co want to murder someone its their problem, their karma, whatever – they face their consequences (so “nimma ethics nimage”) 😈 and he dosen’t care about it, and simply wants to execute his duty as a lawyer (“nanna ethics nanage”) and on top of it save his self-reputation by not losing to a less-experienced lawyer. Considering that in this context even helping a criminal (esp knowingly) also amounts to being part of the crime, probably the earlier one seems to be more likely.

328. That makes sense, Sanjay! Very astute observation.

329. Thanks Shruti 🙂 Btw wrt Suryavamshi… there’s an interesting quote I saw today… 🙂

     ಒಬ್ಬನೇ ವಕೀಲ ನೂರಾರು ಬಂದೂಕುಧಾರಿ ಕಳ್ಳರಿಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಕದಿಯಬಲ್ಲ
     — ಡಾನ್ ಕಾರ್ಲೋನ್, ‘ಗಾಡ್ ಫಾದರ್” ಚಿತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ

     (from: sampada)

     (obbane vakeela nooraaru banduukudhaari kaLLarigintha hecchu kadiballa -Don Korleone, God Father)

330. I tend to contradict people supporting SS. If he was a ethical and a true person then why did he get all the details from Satya Prakash ?? He should not have planted him.

     Hope atleast 1 Person Agree to this point.

331. Hi All,

     Seems like SS’s remark is the new topic of debate.. According to me, ethics differ from person to person, and also in different situations for the same person. As they say, one can only truly claim an experience when it happens to them, so too ethics may differ… Maybe SS feels that it is not ethical on his part to let down his clients, i.e the Government, which in turn represents Rane.. And I find it highly unlikely that a lawyer with an ego and arrogance of SS would ever become humble enough to help CSP – whom he never misses an opportunity to taunt – win justice.. As Sanjay rightly quoted, lawyers more often than not look to salvage their client’s reputations and their’s rather than fight for the truth to come out… This was also illustrated in a dialogue between CSP and Sheela Prasad…

332. I agree to Sanjay’s observation on the ‘namma ethics namage, nimma ethics nimage’ part. That statement is true to SS’ character depicted and more to guard his reputation.

     But I Don’t agree with the earlier statement of SS ‘This is unethical!’ I agree with Prasanna here, that statement cannot come from SS. Wasn’t it unethical of him to prepare all the fake documents and plant (A)satya prakash etc! And like Shruthi mentioned, bit unrealistic that he does a U-turn so soon!

     Also, I thought its too late and unrealistic that Chabria offers money to SS for the first time! and its now that SS gets a doubt on who did the murder. What did he think all these days?

     But like many pointed out, there might be valid reasons and hidden thoughts for these and we’ll know it later. In a typical flashback (or narrate-back?) , he’ll say why he did this etc. These days TNS is going more like Upendra’s script, flashback-real-flashback-real-…

     Chaitanya

     PS: Amruta, I too just loved SS’s expressions and acting. I am a big fan of Sharth Lohitashva (real name) and he really is making his father (Lohitashva) proud! A tremendous actor!

333. Heloo! 😉

     Even though the people that have played roles as “bad” people… their acting always seems the best!!

     Think…
     *Suryavashmshi
     *Rane
     *Chhabbriya

     But Inspector Rangnaath is just annoying!!
     It’s so unfair how all of you know what happens a day before us!! I have to wait until Tuesday to fnd out what happened on Monday!!

     Arggggggghhhh! 🙂

     Bye, and keep 😛

334. Hi Amruta… Don’t feel bad that u have to wait for a day more to know what’s happening in Muktha. ‘Coz, u know what they say….”Intezaar ka phal meetha hota hai !!!”…. U’ll enjoy it all the more..

     And have any of u observed Sandhya MAngalawade’s expressions during CSP’s cross examinations?? I think she’ll turn out to be the dark horse in all of this… Maybe she’ll be the one to do some re-evaluation of the proofs and evidences she amassed thereby giving the correct interpretation to them in the light of the new facts brought out by CSP… What do u guys feel???

335. Hi everybody!

     Reading all your statements, I feel that yes, it is better that we stop speculating about what SS’s true motives are! 🙂 TNS might come up later with some twist to surprise us all, or maybe, just maybe, we are reading too much into some inconsequential statement :)) – Anyway, it is best to wait and see!

     The negative characters act so well, that we cannot stop hating them!! 🙂 My sister hates SS’s character so much, each time he comes on screen, she says “Owl, owl, he looks like an owl”. :))

     Diya, about Sandhya Mangalvade, i find it difficult to believe, that such an honest and capable, high-placed CBI officer, can be so blind and overlook such obvious clues in the case, just because she wants to send MP to jail. So I don’t have faith in her any longer, that she will do anything positive :)) But of course, if she does do it, then I will be really happy 😀

336. Hi Shruti.. Don’t u feel that u are maybe a bit harsh in judging SM?? Most of the proof which she is supposed to have overlooked are very cleverly planted.. We as viewers know the background and so are able to spot it fast. But, for someone with no knowledge of the behind the scenes activity of Rane and co, it does not seem false at first look… Her personal animosity towards MP has not prevented her from acknowledging the brilliance of MP.. And she has been shown as someone who wants the truth to be known… And her thoughtful expressions during the cross examinations put this idea into my head… I feel that the charecterisation of SM, as portrayed till now is more suited to help CSP in turning the tables on the prosecution rather than that of SS, irrespective of his recent comments…

337. Chaitanya thanks for your Unconditional Support to my statement i think i would have got more .

     Shruthi you can use the kannada word Guube which sounds better than Owl !!!!!! . My wife doesnt like the face of Rane the broken tooth and his wicked smile.

338. Prasanna, I’d already written earlier about SS: his sense of ethics which only surfaced for a fleeting moment before getting sent back to paathaaLa where he had buried it long ago. Because its the same man who’s been manipulating witnesses, doctoring evidences etc… But I guess murder was a bit more than he had bargained for. so support was already there! 🙂 Yeah you’re right about “guube” – a good example of data loss (of effect) after literal translation 😉

339. Diya, during investigation of MP by SM, SM says that she took up the case for investigation just because MP’s name is involved in it. If I am right, she also mentions that she will see to it that MP is punished. So, what I feel is she started the investigation with a narrow mind and was not ready to bue the broader view.

340. Diya, what I mean is that being such a high-ranked officer, SM’s view of the whole episode is too narrow and biased, right from the beginning, as Murthy says. I know that we know the truth and it is obvious to us, but I think lots more investigation should have been in order. Especially because this is a high profile case and SM is shown as such a good officer. Yes, I am harsh on her, but I personally think she deserves it 🙂 Lets see if she redeems herself in the future :))

     Yes, I told my sister, say “Goobe”, it is better.. but she thinks that “Goobe” andare berene artha baratthe – SS is not Goobe, he is “Owl”. Well, well, some people have certain ideas, and they stand by them :))

341. I’m sorry Sanjay i just read a couple of quotes on the top since today being monday, the first half is usually and tight. Now i went thru all of them and you had clearly mentioned about SSavara Ethicsu

342. Hi Shruthi,Sanjay & others,
     Thanks for the all the updates you folks have been posting here. I don’t feel that i have missed any episode of Muktha 🙂

343. Hi! I did not watch Muktha today (Monday). So cannot give the update. Please, somebody, give it on my behalf! Thanks!

344. Hmm today a friend was visiting me and though he was a viewer himself still I was a bit distracted (so might be a bit of error/gaps). Anyway since its pretty late in the night let me just put in what we would call in the corporate world an Executive Summary 😉

     ———

     The swamiji and another man (Gowri’s brother/maava or something) are talking. The Swamiji tells him to give a very large amount – 10 lakhs – to clear the loan. The man is reluctant but finally agrees. He expresses concern to the Swamiji about how the Swamiji is still young and if he ever goes back to the worldly life how will he plan his future and what will he use for money. Then the Swamiji replies that we dont plan our birth and our parents and so on, how arrogant it is for us to think we have to plan out our life. [actually this whole dialogue was really beautiful, I feel I’m not doing justice to it with my vague summary]. He said that sanyasis live purely in the present time.

     In the court, the post-mortem doctor is being cross-examined. The judge is a pit peeved… he wonders why the doctor needs to be cross-examined all over again, what is CSP’s point? Is it to prove that he wasn’t murdered by the bullet? But CSP says that thats not the point, theres something else. He says that the observations are fine, and only thing is that conclusion is incorrect, and it will take some time for some truths to come out.

     Then he first establishes that theres a connection between the doctor (who’s actually head of the dept, post mortem) and Rane. And then says that he’s a sevaka of Rane, to which the doctor gets enraged and makes a scene. Then after SS’s objection and the judge’s admonition, CSP apologises and goes on… but the doctor anyway ends up getting really irritated. CSP lists the procedure of a post-mortem, that individual doctors give their observations, and then the head doctor analyses all of them and makes a conclusion. He also states that this doctor made his conclusion behind closed doors, at which the doctor gets enraged, saying that there was no big secret about it. The doctor after some annoyance states that his conclusion is always perfect, he can never give a wrong conclusion after 31 years of experience.

     Then CSP gets out a postmortem report, he says its some postmoretem of some friend. Then he reads out the postmortem’s observations:
     – bruise on a neck
     – [some more related technical details]

     Immediately the doctor says, no more details necessary, this is a case of strangulation of the throat.

     Then CSP continues… also some skull fractured, etc.

     The doctor says the skull got fractured after the death due to [some medical reason].

     Then CSP says that the conclusion in the post-mortem report after the observations was: that the death was due to a fall, and so the skull was fractured.

     The doctor confirms that the opinion was *definitely wrong*, and it was *definitely* a case of murder by strangulation.

     Then CSP says – reveals the details of the post-mortem:
     The report was by the *very same doctor* two years ago… of the murder of that herbal scientist lady (name?) which had been covered up as a suicide.

     The doctor is very very uncomfortable 😳

345. Hi everyone
     WOWW!!! There are alot of fans on this Muktha website!! And one regular visitor is one of my best friends, Amruta. I can’t watch Muktha because I don’t have ETV, but it sounds like a very interesting show. Amruta is soooooooo much obsessed with Muktha that she drew T.N Seetharam (it wasn’t very good…) and said that he was her boyfriend. She even worked out how to play the Muktha theme song on my Veena.
     Anyway got to go before a teacher catches me.
     BBBBBYYYYYYEEEEEEE
     Luv from Vaidehi 8)

346. Hi everyone,
     VAIDEHI was exaggerating, LOL i didn’t say he was my boyfriend.. that’s wrong… 😛

     We were at a party and i was talking about Muktha, and my friends said, ” Who?? Draw him”

     So I drew T.N.S sir and as Vaidehi said (it wasn’t very good…)

     And I said I really really like him and admire him..!! 😀
     Don’t get the wrong impression..

     Luckily I don’t have to worry about getting caught today cause i’m not at school and i’m at home sneezing and coughing..

     Prasanna Shastry… That’s funny that your wife says that because the exact same thing is said about Rane by my brother… He also says that you can fit 10 coins in that gap!! 8)

347. Thanks a lot, Sanjay, for filling in for me 🙂

     One clarification – that person Swamiji was talking to was Shivaprakash (Priya’s father and Purushotthama’s f-i-l). And Swamiji asks him to pass on 10 lakhs on his behalf to someone close to him, and Shivaprakash says, why, if the person is so important to you, I will give him 10 lakhs from my own money. So swamiji smiles a very nice and amused smile and says, No, i think if you find out whom I am going to give it to, you will not say this. Then he says it is for Nanjunda. Shivaprakash frankly says, Yes, I will not give it to him. But ok, I will pass on your money to him. Then he tries to dissuade Swamiji saying he has to think of his future – and then the conversation that Sanjay mentioned, happens.
     [Don’t get me wrong, I watched only this part :)))]

348. Actually Dialog starts with Swamiji calling shiva prakash and asking him how he was feeling . Shivaprakash tells that he again had a heart attack. But he is ready to do anything for the mutt. To that Swamiji asks Shivaprakash if he could deliver a amt of 10L to a much needed person . Shiva prakash is shocked how could a Swamiji who heads a Mutt could have such a huge amt. For which swamiji says that he could save an amt upto 13L when he was studying in the London University out of which he is giving 10L to his close friend. Shiva Prakash asks what if his friend is not able to return the amt. For which swamiji says he is happy in both ways whether his friend returns back the amt or not. Then starts the Quote “Right now I dont have that paper with me wher i had written.

349. Hi Sanjay.. As u mentioned, the part where Swamiji talks about us being the instruments of God was really beautiful… He says, ” Namma srushtige navvu kaaranare?? Laya kooda namma kaiallilla.. Ade reeti, Sthithigu aa bhagawantane kaarana yendu aritare namage yochanegale iruvudilla… Srishti, Sthithi, Laya – ivellavu avana leele yendu aritare bhavishyada bagge yochanegalu baruvude illa… ” The rest of the dialogue too was very beautiful and though simple in style, conveyed a very profound truth… So, I just could’nt resist writing a part of it… Also, Sanjay, the scientist’s name is Usha Gopinath.. And the fractures which CSP mentions as having been recorded in the report are not due to some medical reasons, but ‘coz of the body being thrown from a height…

     I have another doubt… CSP mentions that “fracture of the cartilages was seen” as a point in the UG post-mortem report… Are’nt cartilages supposed to be tissues??? How can tissues get fractured??? They can only tear…. Can some one please clarify this???

     And Murthy, though the point u said is right, she also tells MP that though she took the case primarily for that reason, she wants to see to it that her arrogance that she is the only officer who’s untainted, honest, etc etc..is what she actually wants to break…This may give another reason to her mission… And though I agree with both u and Shruti, that she did start her investigation with a narrow mind and pre-conceived notions, I still don’t think she can stoop so low as SS… She after all verified Brahmachar’s claims about SKD, before going ahead and arresting him….!!!!

     And as the judge said in yesterday’s episode to CSP, “Prati ondu kadenu satyana muchhittiddare anta hudukta hogbaardu”………. MAybe SM too did not want to look deeper once she found “her” culprit….

350. Good Morning to all,
     During the court scene, the judge’s behaviour towards CSP was very rude. I don’t think any judge would have some pre-concieved thoughts about a lawyer and the judge would be so sarcastic towards a lawyer.

351. Thanks Diya, for that conversation. I am sure it would have been very nice – missed it! 🙁

     About cartilage – From Google, I find that cartilage can be refered to as either fractured or torn. BAsically cartilage is a softer bone, so to say (like the ear). For Ligament, we say Tearing, coz ligament is a very soft tissue. And after all, bone also consists of tissues, harder ones, though 🙂 [This is layman information, if there id a doc around, it will really help]

352. Hiiiiiiiiiii
     I just wanted to say that I was the one who wrote all those Muktha Comments. Sorry about that 🙁 I do realise that his last name is Bachchan…I wrote a comment from Abhishek Bachan and then I when I was reading this Indian Newspaper, I saw his name was there and it was written as Bachchan. So sorry about that
     Anyway got to go
     BYEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
     Gowri
     Sorry

353. Yesterday there was no telecast of Mukta in several areas of Mumbai.We miss the serial a lot whenever there is no telecast.Although I have been watching Mukta for more than a year in Mumbai I have not seen the underworld don character of Navalkar in any of the episodes.who is he?

354. Wow, we are actually having confessions here 🙂 It’s ok Gowri, glad you told us who you are, never mind!

     Hi Somashekar, Navudkar (or however its spelled) had appeared in an episode just last week. He is a thin guy with curly hair, a goatee, and specs. Don’t know the actor’s name – Nanjunda had gone to speak to him, do u remember?

355. Today also there was no transmission of mukta in several areas of mumbai.Will someone please give an executive summary of todays’s proceedings????
     Somashekar mumbai.

356. As Douglas Adam’s would’ve said… to summarise the summary of the executive summary – the doctor was in deep waters today.

     Really today was really one of the really better episodes, but the reason I can’t get into details is because I can’t recall the details (though they’re probably somewhere in my subconscious :D) – there was a lot of technical terminology.

     CSP asks teh doctor about the time of death – which would depend on the temperature, and the doctor gives an accurate estimate of 20 hours for the climatic conditions. CSP then brings up the point that the body was in ice, which does not match this at all. To determine the exact time of death, which he says was 1 PM and not 3 PM, he asks for the report based on spinal cord fluid, which the judge states that a telegram be sent to that lab immediately to ask for it.

     CSP then pulls out a medical manual – then compares a post-mortem (after death) wound with a anti-mortem (before death) wound. Then he reads out the observations, which clearly show that there were anti-mortem wounds, to which the doctor had to concede that the victim was alive when he left the car – hence there was no way he could’ve been shot inside the car. This has been proved conclusively.

     CSP also shows that because the victim’s clothes had mud and grass on it, there’s simply no way that he could’ve died at the same spot, and that he was dragged from some other place.

     The judge then wonders why SM hadn’t been able to figure out all these things though she’s a very intelligent and upright official. CSP acknowledges that she’s extremely intelligent, but theres some reason why she hasnt seen all this, but he will reveal it only later at the time of cross-examining her.

357. Wow, Sanjay, you have done “my job” beautifully! In brief, yes, but all points covered 🙂
     Just to add – he also proves that since AM was 92 kgs, if he had fallen from the cliff, his bones would have got simply splintered. But there was only one collar bone fracture. That means he had jumped out at the top itself, but dragged down to the bottom of the cliff.
     When CSP concludes – AM had probably jumped out, then someone must have shot him after he fell out, and then dragged the dead body to the bottom of the cliff and left it under the car, the doctor says, “Someone antha yaake helthira, Madhavi P ne maadiddu”. – to which CSP gets angry and says, are you a police officer? you cannot saysuch things. Judge also speaks sternly to the doctor and to tell only what he saw, nothing else.
     Diya, I think our discussion about Sandhya M proved to be valid after all – something’s coming up, from CSP’s bag :))

358. Also, he proves that the collarbone fracture and gash were ante-mortem wounds, because there was haemorrhage, clotting, and it was a gaping wound. So, the theory that he was shot and killed in the car and then fell out, will not hold. Coz when he fell out, he was dead.
     whereas the scratch marks on his body were postmortem wounds, coz there was no clotting, no haemorrhage, etc. So these were formed after death, by dragging of the body.

359. Hi

     Can someone please tell me what Shivaraj Hegde and Inspector Rangnaath’s real names are?
     Thanks
     😛

360. Sanjay there’s a slight mistake in u’r summary… The prosecution states that the time of death was around 1.45PM, which is corroborated by the doc who fixes the time of death to be between 1.30 – 2.00PM.. It’s CSP who contends that time of death was around 3.00 – 3.30PM, and not the other way round as u mentioned… And yeah Shruti, I think we’ve also begun to think like CSP at times… Also, thanx for the clarification….!!!!

361. yest’s episode was indeed very educative. I had never heard of the term Rigor Mortis until i heard yest CSP asking the Dr.

     Thanks TNS for the same

362. Yes yday’s episode was very educative. I had heard of Rigor Mortis, but had no idea that it starts to go after a while (20 hours, or 24 hours, or 36 hours, depending on the climate) – I thought the dead body would always remain stiff! I also was not aware of using Cerebro-spinal fluid to estimate the time of death. And we got a lot of knowledge on how to differentiate between ante-mortem and post-mortem wounds! If even classes in school are made so interesting, then we won’t have any problem remembering things :)))

363. Shruthi, I think the term Rigor Mortis was used in the case involving Nanjunda and Columbia Copper’s company in the earlier episodes of Muktha. Rigor Mortis term was used to determine the type of death of one vishwanath, who was murdered by columbia copper company’s head and supported by an inspector. (I forgot the name of the inspector.)

364. TNS Abhimanigale,

     Any idea why TNS always makes serials that start with the letter “M”? Muktha, Manvanthara, MayaMruga, MaleBillu… And even his only film starts with “M”… Mathadana!!! Any specific reason that anyone of you are aware of?

     Thanks.

     Shridhar

365. Murthy, I started watching Muktha only 5 months back, so I have no idea about the case you are talking about 🙂 But I have heard of Rigor Mortis coz I read a lot of crime and detective novels :))
     [Coming to think of it, just 5 months and I am such a big fan! Wonder about the others, who would have watched it from the beginning!]

     Hi Shridhar, yes, TNS names all his serials from “M”.. but no idea why. Can anyone help?

366. Shruthi, During one of the samvaada, TNS said, he names all his serials starting from M coz, Mamakara, Mamathe and Money also starts from M. This is the reason TNS told during the samvada.

367. Murthy are you talking of Varnekar ??? His name was even mentioned during the ongoing Case.

     I used to watch Mukta but only the court scenes.

368. But never watch as seriously as i do now

369. Yes the inspector name is varnekar. You are right.

370. TNS in the samvada mentioned that he wanted to name this serial as Sammohini. As the MNCs have captured our minds with their products and aggressive marketing. The question of why his serials start with M was asked by Basavraj Horatti’s wife during the Samvada in Hubballi.

371. Hey guys sorry to interuppt…but its was not the inspector its an SP…Vernekar!!!

     Also…all of TNS’s serials end with ‘a’! TNS’s name does not appear at the end of malle billu…does it? But again…it’s only when the names are spelt in English!!!

372. Update – Wednesday – feb 22.

     Manmohan is getting into a car when he sees Anupama, and offers to drop her home. Anupama while talking and ragging manmohan, mentions that if you laugh nicely like this, your girlfriend might change her mind and marry you. manmohana gets serious and tries to find out what is in arundhati’s mind, thro anupama. anu says, how can she know. manmohan says even now, i cannot forget her, i would prefer to marry her. anu says, she seems to like you but she is set against marrying u, what can i say. and she leaves.

     Purushotthama and priya goes to nanjunda’s house, and priya says that shivaprakash has also come.. he comes in, and says that he has come for a purpose. he calls nanjunda and gives him ten lakhs. nanjunda says he will not accept it from shivaprakash. shivaprakash says that if my son was in trouble, would i not have helped him? thats how i want to help you, and he gives the money. he says, i was full of ahankara. i was blind, i wronged ur family. my daughter married out of her own will, stil i assumed that u ppl – avalanna marulu maadisi bittri- aasthiya aasegoskara. but after talking to swamiji yday, i realised my folly. he was bout to give 10 lakhs out of his 13 lakhs to you. how great he is.. i felt very small. i have only a few yrs to live. will i take this money with me when i die? i can as well live by helping others. u can keep this money, u need not return it. i have written half of my money to go to the maTha, in my will, and the other half to Priya and Puru and you ppl. He holds priya’s and puru’s hand and says, Also, i want priya and puru to stay here with you itself. and you and i should keep visiting each other. please forgive all my past wrongdoings. Everybody is very happy. very very emotional moment :'(

     Nanjunda and Puru go to Navudkar to give money back. N is angry with Nanj for getting Puru, a new person to his place.. He also counts the ten lakhs, saying that he does not trust Nanj any longer. Then they plead with him to take the complaint back. He then calls Dubey and asks him to withdraw complaint, and calls Jagan and tells him to go satyenkatte and ask police to stop investigating.

     next scene, everybody in nanjunda’s house and priya and her father sitting and ahving lunch -holige and payasa, coz nanjunda has got out of trouble. nice friendly atmosphere.

373. Thanks for the correction Diya. Shruti I had thought you’d missed watching it again 🙂

     Btw I too had no clue about what Rigor Mortis really was and had to google for it…

     A few hours after a person or animal dies, the joints of the body stiffen and become locked in place. This stiffening is called rigor mortis. Depending on temperature and other conditions, rigor mortis lasts approximately 72 hours. The phenomenon is caused by the skeletal muscles partially contracting. The muscles are unable to relax, so the joints become fixed in place.

     More specifically, what happens is that the membranes of muscle cells become more permeable to calcium ions. Living muscle cells expend energy to transport calcium ions to the outside of the cells. …

     …

     Rigor mortis can be used to help estimate time of death. The onset of rigor mortis may range from 10 minutes to several hours, depending on factors including temperature (rapid cooling of a body can inhibit rigor mortis, but it occurs upon thawing). Maximum stiffness is reached around 12-24 hours post mortem. Facial muscles are affected first, with the rigor then spreading to other parts of the body. The joints are stiff for 1-3 days, but after this time general tissue decay and leaking of lysosomal intracellular digestive enzymes will cause the muscles to relax. …

     Today I was all set to watch Mukta but fell asleep!! Very deeeeeeeep sleep… and when I woke up it was 9:35! For some reason I was totally exhausted, hardly able to move. I called up my friend saying I wouldn’t be able to come for the walk I was supposed to have gone with him at 9:45. Anyway now I’m feeling quite fresh as if the day has just begun though I better go sleep again But my mom said I hadn’t missed much and thanks to Shruti’s update could catch up with what happened 🙂

374. Another interesting fact is that TNS always adopts names having “Prasad”…. “Ishwar Prasad” in Manvantara, “Chandrashekhar Prasad” in Muktha…. And all these names are various names of the Lord Shiva….who according to mythology is known as the “Destroyer”…. Apt, huh???!!!! Does anyone remember TNS’s name in “Mayamruga” ??

375. Eee… “K” serial-gala galateyalli … All relationships are thrown out of proportion and are spoilt totally…

     I was very impressed by the way shivaprakash talks, admits his mistakes and gels with the Gowri family again … overall, i like the way “MUKTHA” handles human relationships

     Great show..

376. Eee… “K” serial-gala galateyalli … All relationships are thrown out of proportion and are spoilt totally…

     I was very impressed by the way shivaprakash talks, admits his mistakes and gels with the Gowri family again … overall, i like the way “MUKTHA” handles human relationships

     Great show..

377. TNS is closing all the loops and characters and he is trying to concentrate more on Court Scene, i think thatz why he converted shivaprakash’s character into a gentlman and also pulled out nanjunda out of woods.

378. Diya, very sharp observation! Dont remember his name in Mayamruga, though. I am sure someone else can help!

     Anitha, I agree with you on this! The reason I like the characters in Muktha is that all are grey characters. See, even CSP, for all his greatness, has a little bit of ahankara and he often quarrels with his wife (whatever the reason is). That is very natural in real life. And that is what I admire. Shivaprakash is basically a nice person, but he was again blinded by wealth. Even Arunachalamurthy is a good person but his interest in politics made him get into a relationship with Chhabria. This is how it is. IN K-serials, either the character is a God or a Goddess, and cannot have any possible negative characteristic, or the character is a Rakshasa, and does not have even one positive characteristic. That is what irritates me.

     Prasanna, haudu, I also felt that way. Now only if he gets Manmohan and Arundhati together and close that story also, I will be very happy 🙂

379. Hey shruthi, swamijigalu maththu gowri ya kathe 😉

380. shruthi avare firstu mano aru avara maduve madi mugusabeku ebbaru hepamorey mukha haakikondu dharavahi yella kedasa thare.

381. Murthy, Swamiji matthu Gowri avaribbaraddu add madona anthidde… then I thought, it will be too much to expect 🙂
     Prasanna, correctu, avaribbaru summne, illu illa, allu illa anno haage voddadtha iddhaare… avaribbara premakatheyannu dadakke tanni antha TNS avaralli vinanthi 🙂

382. ಸಂಜೀವ್, ತುಂಬಾ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು!

383. HiAll fans of Mukta,
     I am a Telugu speaking person (I know Kannda) and have become a great fan of mukta serial. I was searching in Google to find more details on the producer, actor CSP or TNS, and stumbled up this site. I was wonderstruck the way the serial has the fan following.
     It is in deed good serial. I am in Mumbai, and for the last 3 to 4 months I am watching this serial, and with out my knowledge I am regulary reaching home by 9 PM inspites of work load and other engagements. Me and my wife really look forward to watch this serial.

384. pretty late tonight, just a brief update, maybe Shruti/others can provide more details tomorrow…

     ———

     Today the ballistic expert was being cross-examined.

     CSP enquires if he had been attending SS’s “coaching classes” to which he gets pretty annoyed, and SS also gets annoyed and theres a tiff which the judge as usual admonishes everybody including CSP, and patiently tells everyone to forget it and get on with the cross-examination.

     Not much to question, CSP says.

     The wound showed that the bullet was shot from more than 3 feet. SS argues that it still couldve been shot from inside the car. CSP shows that since it would’ve been with great difficulty, since the entry point of the would was from the right side.

     The bullet has entered from the lower right side of the face and exited on the top left of the skull, so the bullet shouldve been found on the top left side of the car. But it was found on the right side.

     There was an wound on AM’s wrist caused by a bullet. The bullet also grazed the wristwatch itself. The wristwatch had stopped – clearly because of the dent, and it showed 3 PM, and clearly this was the time of the bullet being shot, and clearly he was not killed at 1+ PM.

     The mark on the bullet showed that it had a dent on it, which couldnt have been formed by passing through a human body as the tissues and bones are too soft to cause it. So it mustve been the bullet shot to open the door lock that had been jammed.

     Thats all your honour.

385. Namaskaaram Venkateshgaaru 🙂 nice to hear from you – great that Muktha is helping in balancing your family life with work… hope you manage to continue it even after the serial gets over! 😀

386. Sanjay, as always, brief and correct!! Thanks, did not have much time today 🙂

     Two more details – CSP proves that the bullet has been shot from close range. Since the entry of the bullet is on the right side of AM’s neck, and MP was seated on his right, MP would have had had to bend over him to shoot him, and also, if she had done so, it would not have been from 3 feet, coz there was a door on his left. So it would have had to be from nearer.

     Amusing incident – When CSP asks the ballistics expert how the bullet could have been shot in the car, when it is clear that it has been shot from 3 feet afar, SS interrupts and says, “why not, there is 3 feet space int the car”. Then CSP says, ok SS, this is not your coaching class where you can teach what to say. Ballistics inspector gets insulted but CSP pacifies him. SS then says, “Naanenu coaching classes togolalla”. then CSP says sarcastically, “Haudu haudu, neevu examination hall gene bandu answers helkodo antha teacher”. This whole conversation was hilarious! 🙂

387. i have a small doubt since i never handled a real gun other than our usual Pataki gun. Will the damage on the watch be so minimal when hit by a 0.6mm bullet which will be travelling at a very high speed. As per CSP he could see wounds on the wrist, which means to say even the watch should have been substantially damaged.

     Any Contradictions ??????????

388. CSP also points out that SS took coaching classes for driver brahmachar and inspector ranganath. It will be nice if CSP proves that indeed SS fabricated the truth with the help of (A)satyaprakash and SS took coaching classes for brahmachar and ranganath. It will be interesting, how the judge reacts when he comes to know how SS fabricated with the witnesses.

389. Hey, Sanjay and Shruthi, sorry, but I seem to be making a habit of correcting the tiny mistakes in your updates…. I’m really sorry if u guys are feeling bad…. Anyways, here goes…. The entry wound on AM’s body was on the left side at the base of the jaw (ie the neck region). The bullet then exited from the top right corner of the head. This path of the bullet would have caused it to lodge in the right side of the car roof, (ie behind the driver’s seat)where MP was sitting. CSP thus proves that it is impossible to fire a close range shot from within the car, such that the entry wound is on the left side of AM’s neck. The bullet was recovered from the side in which AM was sitting, ie the left side which is impossible, as the exit wound was on the right side of AM’s head…

390. Prasanna, the damage to the watch is substantial.The bullet only grazed AM’s left wrist near the watch, before entering thru’ the neck. For a close range shot, the velocity of the bullet would only cause a dent in the watch, as the time of impact with the watch would be around a fraction of a 100th of a second… That’s why there would’nt me more of a damage to the watch.. Also, the wound as such on the wrist was observed to only be a graze, i.e joraagi tarachida taraha, and nothing more serious…

     And Murty, I too really hope that CSP brings out SS’s duplicity… But, do u really think it seems possible??

391. Yes Diya, it can be possible, if CSP bring Rane’s driver as a witness in the scenario. Because of Rane’s driver who happens to be from CSP’s village, CSP came to know how Rane and that inspector (I forgot his name !) planted (A)satyaprakash with CSP to get more information about how CSP cross examines the witnesses. Rane’s driver also reveals to CSP that, Rane was planning to murder CSP and to save himself CSP faked depression and went out the case for a while.

392. Diya, just like the ruling party needs the opposition, the updaters need you :))
     Seriously, if it is possible for you, maybe you should take charge of the updates.
     Frankly, there were loads of things I did not understand in yday’s episode. Confusion about which bullet was supposedly found in the ceiling, and which bullet had the dent. Were they the same?
     Also, which bullet caused the watch to crack? After cracking the watch, where did that bullet go, according to CSP? Please clarify my doubts!

393. Diya, there’s a quote…

     God is in the details.

     ~Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
     (German born American Architect. 1886-1969)

     …so corrections/details are always welcome, there’s no question of feeling bad 😉 Now that I recall, when CSP showed it on his own neck as his left, my mind recorded it as my right! 😯

     Shruti, CSP’s theory is that the bullet that SM had fired at the door lock to open it since it was jammed. This happened at around 1 PM. And this bullet was later picked up and planted in the car as evidence to implicate her.

     The bullet that hit the wristwatch was shot by someone else later (at 3 PM) and this was the one that actually killed the victim who had actually escaped the car accident. This bullet would’ve probably been disposed off.

394. Sanjay, I was wondering why I said Right side of the neck, when so clearly CSP pointed it out and showed 🙂 I think my brain worked the same way as yours :O

     Ok, thanks for that explanation, got it!

395. oh good i never thought there will be a blog for a kannada serial
     u guys a really crazy

     to much man

396. Hey prithvi, is this an admiration what you have expressed. If yes, thanks else no thanks.

397. Diya I was reading the Physics Text book by Resnick/Halliday(Like Ramayana and Mahabharata in PUC) about the impact and I just gave my idea based on it.

     It says a bullet has to undergo an elastic collision if it has to just graze anything in between and This is possible if the bullet is fired only after 10feet for the bullet to catch up that kind of velocity to kiss any kind of surface and take off.

     I enjoyed the yest’s Dharavahi.

     Reg Satyaprakash being planted as an informer, CSP has no witness to substantiate that. I doubt if Rane’s driver would come as an eye witness. Also CSP has not registered any complaint with satyaprakash.

398. sanjay its better you try and filter off people like Gowri, Abhishek …… and new entry prithvi.

     Install some Content filtering software that would take care of these pains

399. Yes sanjay, if people are not interested as mentioned by prasanna, then there is no need for them to come and comment here.

400. Murthy, Prasanna, it is very difficult to monitor that way, I think, unless Sanjay starts comment moderation, and reads each comment before putting it up. Besides, this page being the top spot in google when you google for Muktha, people will automatically come here. As long as the comments are not too abusive, or the comments are not repeatedly posted, I think it is best we just ignore them. Besides, we don’t even know whether Prithvi was admiring us or laughing at us 😀 But whatever it is, we should not care 😉

     Btw this is the 400th comment 🙂 – Congrats Sanjay, on a quadruple century!

401. Prithvi … We never invited you to come and leave your precious comments here.

     Having come here , you better mind your words….

402. Shruthi, you should treat for, coz 400th comment is yours 😉

403. Hi everyone… Shruthi thanx for inviting me to take over the updates..The only problem is that I can only post it the next day after 10.30AM… Too late!!!!! And Murthy, though the scenario u outlined is possible, it does not really seem probable… Will a driver agree to testify against Rane?? And as CSP did not lodge a complaint either with the judge or with the police regarding Satyaprakash, not much good can come of it at this late date… Without the testimony of Rane’s driver there won’t be any grounds for a case..And also, SS is a brilliant lawyer in that he can doctor evidence (we’ve enough proof of it) and tutor witnesses… He would most likely get off scot-free… That’s why I asked whether it would really be possible… Maybe things can be brought about such that the Bar Council warns SS regarding these accusations…

     And Prasanna, Sanjay’s clarification to Shruthi must have answered your doubt too… Just to elaborate on it a bit… The entry wound on AM’s body indicates no features consistent with a close shot wound. It’s also been established now that the fatal bullet was fired from outside the car and at around 3.00PM… It may well be possible that The fatal bullet was fired from a distance of about 6-8feet, which would then explain the grazing wound and the damage to the watch. This bullet may very well have lodged itself in the vicinity.. As for the bullet found in the car, which the prosecution claims to be the fatal bullet, it is the one fired by MP to release the door lock…

404. Diya avare, You are no less to CSP roll

405. In the current case going on, we (viewers) all know who the culprit is, the motive and more-or-less how they did it also.

     But I was always wondering, would it have been more interesting had we not known who did it, from the beginning of the case itself? Kind of suspense/detective touch?

     Here we know the end and just interested in the means, I guess. TNS had done this (keeping the culprit in suspense) in few earlier cases (Deepa Natarajan, Copper company etc) with astounding success!

     Chaitanya

406. oh good i never thought there will be a blog for a kannada serial
     u guys a really crazy

     to much man

     yeah Prithvi, isn’t it crazy? You could probably start a blog on Baywatch or something to restore sanity to the world 😉

     But anyway – consider an analogy of a cellphone. One may feel that one particular model of a cellphone is more sophisticated than the other. But the important point here is not to get stuck up with comparing models of the cellphone – because a cellphone is not an end to itself, its only a means of communication.

     So one may use an ultra-cool model of a cell having graphics and cameras and all those gizmos, but use it to just download ringtones and play games. Or one may use a simple but functional model of a cell but use it to convey some cool ideas.

     Thats what Mr. Seetharam has done with the Kannada Muktha – instead of being an employer in Hollywood or some other place where I’m sure he’d have done pretty well and earned a lot of $$$, he’s used a more native and rich (if you manage to get the hang of it) mode of communication.

     In my opinion, one could read a bunch of dense stuff like Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence, or novels from Erle Stanley Garnder (Perry Mason). Or one could watch half an hour of Muktha everyday. Personally, I find the latter easier 8)

     ——–

     Murthy and others, There is a filter of sorts that handles spam, else the count here would be well over 500. Also there have been some spam that still made it which I manually deleted. But anyway like its been said, I’m not very keen on moderation. Let people freely express their views (within limits), what is there 🙂 – atleast we get a chance to see what they’re thinking and talk to them.

     The header text “we all come in different…” on Gangadhar’s blog is nice. In general, there’s a very optimistic spirit behind open source initiatives for example the encyclopedia Wiki (free to edit for all), which runs on the belief that though there will always be exceptions, fundamentally people are good and don’t misuse opportunities.

     —-

     Btw I’m going to Chennai again tonight, this time for a different reason – as part of an interview panel – will be back on Sunday night… bye for now! (not sure if I can catch Mukta tonight, it will be a bit tight as the bus is at 10 PM so I’ll decide later if I want to take the chance but I probably wont be coming online for a while)

407. Hi All Lovers of Mukta Serial,
     Like I am back every week day home before 9PM, I am back again at this Blog to see what is being discussed. I am just thinking of making this site more interesting, can some one guess and write how CSP is going to cross examine each witness in coming episodes. Say he will call again the Investigating officer,I forgot her name, and what is that he is going tell, how she has missed the vital issue, which Mr.CSP has seen ( From the cross examination of Doctor, who has written the postmortam report when judge asks if what CSP says is a fact, how come such an intelligent office has missed that point for which CSP says he will tell that when he cross examins her again) Can some one guess?????

408. Why to block the negative comments from the people. The fact that Prithvi has written in the blog shows that she or he has actually searched web to find out on Mukta, that show that he or she is quite entused the way serial being telecasted.
     Any way Prithvi, good search on the web. By the way how long you have been watching the serial. Have you missed any episodes?

409. Diya, you truly are no less than CSP 🙂
     Btw, does your statement mean that you will take over the updates, or not? :)) Do let me know!

410. Friday update – until Diya confirms 🙂

     Manmohan calls Anupama and apologises, tells her that he met Arundhati, and let it slip that Anupama had told him that she feels that Arundhati also loves Manmohan. Aru comes to Anu and accosts her. Anu says that he is not stupid, he does not need someone else to tell him, it is obvious that you love him. Aru accuses Anu and tells her that they are all bent upon spoiling her life. Anu says, that you are the one spoiling your own life, and tells her to do something before the poor man is hurt further.

     Chhabria and Rane go to SS’s house. They express fear at the way the case is going. SS says, CSP’s arguments hold no water. He can prove that AM fell out of the car, only after the car fell down the cliff. He also says that he can prove that he was indeed shot by MP, but since it would have taken 2-3 mins for him to die from the shot, and since the car fell off the cliff within 10 secs from the shot, the wound on his shoulder would still be an antemortem wound.

     SS says that he can somehow get them acquitted from this case, but what he is worried about is Usha G’s case. Sandhya M has already started getting doubts, and will start investigation on this, calling it a related case, and then they will be in trouble. Sandhya M is coming tomorrow to meet me. So before that i need to know the truth. Did you kill Usha G?

     Chhabria says yes, I had no choice. SS is shocked and troubled. Then Chhabria and RAne look at each other, and Chhabria says, let us finish CSP. SS is totally angry. He screams at them. Do you think i am the head of a murder squad? LEt us fight this in court. let us teach the witnesses, and let us manipulate stuff. But let us do it with our brains, and in court. do you get it? how can you even think of this horrible thing? Whatever CSP might do, he is a good man!! and you want to murder him? Then he says rudely, get out, both of you!!
     Then he gets a call from SAndhya M, and he goes out.

     Chhabria says, so what if he asks us not to murder CSP, we will go ahead. I know a person G( i forgot his name) who was Navudkar’s right hand man, but now he has his own gang. I will call him. He calls him, and asks him to come to him as he has an assignment.

     Different setting. A man comes to meet Chhabria and Rane. Chhabria says, where is G? That man says, Navudkar’s gang killed someone from our gang, so G had to go to Mumbai urgently, you can tell me anything. Chhabria says that the subject is a lawyer, living in Hemagiri. his name is CSP. The man asks if CSP knows he is danger. Chhabria says, no idea, he might know, he does not show any emotion.
     Chhabria says, I need this done tomorrow. The man says, nope, not possible. we need to follow his movements for a couple of days, and then discuss with the leader and form a plan. Expect it to be done by Thu-Friday.
     Chhabria says, payment? So the man says, Eradu advance, kelasa aadamele innu Entu.
     Chhabria says, ok i will go and get it.

411. Hello folks this is pradeep,new to this group.I was watching muktha very regularly before coming to USA.When i left CET vivada was going on.SO whats the status of the serial now?Is there any chance that i can get VCD or DVD of muktha?Unfortunately we are not getting etv kannada here.Hats off to TN.Seetharam,we kannadigas are proud of him.

412. Hey people, please do not miss Amruta’s presentation on Muktha (see link above, in the main post). It is very very well-done, and extremely funny and correct! Hats off to Amruta 🙂

     And Sanjay, the way you have been updating your post with relevant links is really admirable. Kudos to you 🙂

     Pradeep, welcome, you can read the updates of the serial here, and hopefully you can get back on track!

413. Hey people, please do not miss Amruta’s presentation on Muktha (see link above, in the main post). It is very very well-done, and extremely funny and correct! Hats off to Amruta 🙂

     And Sanjay, the way you have been updating your post with relevant links is really admirable. Kudos to you 🙂

     Pradeep, welcome, you can read the updates of the serial here, and hopefully you can get back on track!

414. Amrutha,
     the presentation is excellent, very well done. Letus somehow try to send this to TNS, I am sure he will be very happy as we are.
     Friends, what happend to our old idea of getting TNS or any of his team members to get here, any developments on that?? Just imagin how it would be to take tomorrow’s episodes updates from none other than TNS’s team member !!!!!

415. Dear ones, yesterday I missed the episode as there was not power on in our part of Bangalore. But I was confident I can makeup with Shruthi’s update and even told my parents about that. I updated the episode to my mother. She felt bad when I told Chabria’s plan to murder CSP.
     As said eb4 shruthi avara updates daravahi nodiha hageye iruththade 🙂

416. Shruthi avare nanu amruta avara presentation nodide bahala chennagide,but unfortunately i am not able to catch up at all since i lost touch from that CET vivada,I dont know what is going on now also,If someone has a recorded vcd or dvd maybe that would help.I really appreciate ur patience in updating the story in this blog.Recent agi kannadastore.com alli mayamruga serial VCD(23 sets) online order madide,its good that we r getting the oppurtunity to see such good serials even in USA.Hopefully i should be able to get MUKTHA also someday.

417. Friends, today you can see friday’s episode at 7 PM, which many people lost due to power problem in Karnataka. Do not miss this time around.

418. Mareyadiri muktha priyare, marethu niraasharagadhiri. Shukrvaara thappisiskonda daaravahi ya bhagavannu indu sanje 7 ghante ge veekshisi. 😉

419. From fridays episode, I think I am able to understand the the ETHICS of SS. SS becomes so wild when Rane proposes to eliminate CSP. SS says that killing is not solution and that they have to fight it out in court. He is against the idea of killing anyone, but is ready frame/manipulate/create evidences. Looks like that is his Ethics.
     And I was not able to understand why CBI officer should ask SS’s opinion on re-opening the Usha’s murder case.
     While Rane, Chabria and SS are having drinks at SS’s place, SS gets a call from CBI officer. Why should CBI officer call SS after hours? Is SS going to reveal everything to SM?????????

420. HI…. First off, I want to thank Prasanna and Shruthi for their sweet words… Thanx a lot guys… And Shruthi, u are doing a wonderful job in providing the updates…. So carry on….

     Sanjeev, the reason why the CBI officer is in touch with the councel (SS) is ‘coz the UG case is beginning to seem integral to the AM murder case. Also, there are strong indications to doubt the veracity of the prosecution’s case… As the case is already in progress and is in fact nearing the judgement, SM needs to know if reopening the UG case by the CBI could have any adverse effects in the ongoing case.. U should also remember that SS is also a CBI concel.. And when the case is handed over to the CBI, technically the over-all authority is the Central Govt.. As their legal representative, SM is required to ask SS’s opinion before reopening the UG case… It becomes doubly sensitive an issue, as the present home minister of a state is implicated…

     And Shruthi, the ganglord’s name is Gangaswamy.. Now is the time when the “ethics ” of SS and the “bias” of SM will truly be revealed, I think… What do u guys feel???

421. Hello everyone!
     First of all, thanks to the people that watched my presentation! To all those who thought it was good and commented on it, I have four words for you:

     Much Obliged Your Honour!

     I haven’t been able to come here for awhile and it was a bit annoying to see that people are once again starting to write pointless things, like Prithvi did… plz don’t waste your time ..

     😛

     By the way, those of you that watched the presentation, I’d appreciate it if you could tell me if you think I should add any lines, scenes, pictures, etc.
     Also as you can see, there was no picture of Suryavamshi,
     Devraj.. If anyone knows where I can get a picture of these people it’ll be good because I can put them also in the slides.
     Also no-one is able to find Devraj, and you can find somebody else that was cross-examined that’ll also be good because I can just change the wordings.

     Anyway it’s nice to see that everyone liked it, and please tell me if you think there should be any changes. 😀

     Kumar, I think we can send this to Bhoomika by using the bhoomika e-mail address, I’ll try send it to them,

     Gr8 to talk,
     keep 🙂 bye!

422. Diya I still not trust SS full 100% ( u as a lady CSP will disprove it). SS is not using the Shortcut since rumour mongers will spread the news that it was SS who got CSP killed and our Rane Sahibaru and Chaabria will wash off their Hands .

     Diyaavare you are free to dispute it.

423. Hi All
     This is Avinash From Bangalore.
     Its good to see lot of people discussing on the things happening in Muktha and posting regular day-to-day updates. I regularly watch Mukta, and miss it very rarely. I missed last two episodes. But I wont miss the updates and the discussions in this link. Thanks to Shruthi, Diya, and everybody for posting the updates and to the good discussion. Amruta, your presentation is very good, but I could not watch it completely, my IE crashed while watching this presentation 🙂

424. Amrutha, I’m not sure why your presentation is not going beyond 6 or 7 slides once it reaches that it IE crashes. I tried all the troubleshooting techniques to see but nanu prayathna pattidu yella mannu paalu agoithu.

     Can you mail that ppt file to my mail Id ? If yes then mail it to gpsastry@yahoo.com. If no then you know the answer.

     The first few Slides indeed proves your creativity.

425. Prasanna, plz don’t add respectful suffixes like “avare” to my name.. It makes me feel about a 100 years old… And what is all this “lady CSP” business??? Don’t plz elevate me to such heights… I don’t think I’ll be able to walk with my feet on the ground, otherwise.. As for u’r observations, there is more than a grain of truth in them..SS is too arrogant a lawyer and too drunk on his success to want to admit defeat in front of CSP.. And if CSP is killed at this stage of the proceedings, the first doubt would be on Rane and Chhabria… Not on SS.. Nobody expects such a famous lawyer to stoop so low.. Also, CSP has shown his brilliance in croos-examination till now, thereby rendering SS as just another lawyer… SS has to score over CSP in the same court, in front of the same judge..to appease his bruised ego.. And though he has no hesitation in falsifying facts and figures, deep down he respects CSP… If not as a lawyer (he’s too egoistic for that!!!) then atleast as a person… After all CSP is out to prove what SS has now come to know….!!!

     Amruta, u’r presentation was really good… Keep such good work going…

     Avinash, thanx for u’r interest in the discussions…We would all like to have u’r inputs too…

     And Prasanna, Rane and Chhabria won’t be able to wash their hands off so easily… The case is @ a stage where the press, prosecution, CBI, and the judge..are all interested to know how exactly the UG and AM cases are interlinked… Rane and co have overlooked this… So, the ill-advised decision…

426. CSP is getting lot of informations (both text and photographs) about the incident and also about the witnesses., which help him while cross-examining witnesses.

     Once while talking to his junior Satyaprakash, he told him that he gets these information from a detective agency, but he did not mention its name. He asked Purushottam to pay him for taking this case, so that he can atleast pay to this agency. Till now its not been revealed. Is it SM who is giving him all these information?

427. No Avinash, I don’t think it can be SM. Well, TNS has been using this detective-stuff in all his earlier cases, even in his earlier serials!! But not sure the real world lawyers do so! 😉

     And I have a doubt, since Rane and team knows very well (from ASatyaprakash) that CSP gets his things from the detective agency, can’t they trap the information at source? Isn’t Rane/Chabria/Rangapath etc powerful enough to trap the detective agency?

     Diya, your theories are very logical and so lawyer-istic that I too agree in calling you ‘the lady CSP’ 🙂 Keep it up, its OK! 😉

     Chaitanya

428. Yenu hudugeero.. yake hingadtharo………

     Really got irritated the way arundhati responded to ‘Jai Jagadeesh’. TNS is making story to be more than the court scenes. I wonder what will happen to manamohanaaaaaaaaaaa.
     Coming to court scenes, CSP is acting like bafoon and the judge Ravi belagere rightly criticising him.
     CSP’s death threat was unfolded in nice way and SS supported fellow lawyer in right spirit which shows the unity among lawyers.
     I think the serial will be complete with judgement. In the mean time TNS will find a way for all singles to mingle and to suggest viewers that all lived happily thereafter…

     congrats to Sanjay who has done such a nice blog.

429. hello all are lucky enough to see mukta.because in chennai we have scv cable vision.they are not giving etv.really v missed a lot serials directed by mr.T.N.Sitaram.please make sure that each and every nook and corner should reach etv.when ever we visit our friend’s place we can watch.pls reply and take action towards this.

     thank you

431. Update – Monday – 27th.

     Arundhati goes to meet Pramod Kumar. He returns the 3 lakhs she had lent to him in the form of a cheque. Then he asks her to marry him. She is shocked and speechless. Then he says, I promise i will not beat you like i beat my first wife, I will love you and look after you. She says, I need time, need to ask my parents also. He says, go ahead, no compulsions, whatever happens, my respect for you will not change.

     Court scene.
     CSP- i have a request to make. i can see some suspicious characters moving around my house from yday, i fear for my life. i request you to give me police protection
     judge – don’t u have protection? don’t u have any common sense? this is a high profile case and u r making allegations against so many ppl, your life will be at risk.
     csp – whom shall i ask? it will go to the home minister, and he might hinder it since i am making allegations against him. so i request the court to give protection.
     SS – yes mr csp, i have no objection. this is v imp indeed, u should get protection, don’t worry.
     judge – writes an order, calls a hemagiri cop, and tells him to give police bundobast to csp’s house, and a jeep should accompany him to and from sudukoppa…. he also says the SPs of hemagiri and sudukoppa, as well as the home minister himself should be held responsible if anything happens to csp.

     ss- i want to call chandrakant pavate – he is a scientist, and was head of reception committee in jalakanteshwara jaathre.
     judge – already lots of witnesses have told what has happened at the jaathre, don’t u think its a waste of time?
     ss – no, it only looks as if lots of witnesses have talked about it thats all. besides CP will give some hitherto unmentioned points.
     csp – your honour, he is just a “riperi witness”.. brought in to control damage. I have made holes in their fortress, and he has come with cement to patch it up thats all.
     ss – nothing, he has no case, he is living in his imaginary world, you stay there, csp, no problem.. i can demolish ur case easily.
     judge – ss, just coz csp says something, why do u bother to answer? this is a waste of time. please continue.

     CP takes the stand.
     csp – here comes the kuri, and the katuka is waiting 🙂
     ss – irritated – csp, u r very irritating. what is this? insulting a senior scientist?
     judge – csp, please keep quiet.
     csp – ok, ok, then MP, SKD and I are kuris, and you , the prosecution, are the katuka. Ok? happy?
     ss and judge – what is this nonsense? please stop.

     CP is sworn in.
     ss – what new things can u tell about the jaathre?
     cp – one week before jaathre, madhavi patel came and asked me to get 10000 pamphlets printed, and she also asked for some vehicles to ferry Bhaktas to the jaathre, and so i instructed accounts and transport dept to arrange for it.
     ss – why did u do it?
     cp – these politicians and officials ask for such favours, how can we say no?
     ss – did u tell chhabria bout this?
     cp – no, these are small issues, i used my discretion. then later i found out what the pamphlet says, and that the vehicles were used to ferry rowdies, and i was very shocked and upset.
     csp – see, how well he is doing riperi kelasa.
     judge – please keep quiet, u can question him during cross exam
     ss – thats all ur honour.
     csp goes to cross examine.

432. Well written shruthi. You have an eye for details.

     But you have not captured arundhati’s feelings. Arundhati showed the intent that you are good but types….
     She also informed pramod kumar that ‘he is good’. should viewer read this in between lines?
     She asked for time to come back with a decision.
     I have already started feeling bad towards manamohanaaaaaaaaa. By looking at arundhati’s gesture, I am remembering old hit from kannada.. “Enu hudugeero. yake hingadtharo..”

     I also thought CSP’s behaviour is illustrated amazingly. Rural junta feel irritated about phoot-lawyris around them. CSP’s charected is portrayed like a phoot-lawyri. Or TNS wants to show how involved CSP is in this case.

     Anytime I would go for a lawyer like SS who is more balanced. But, thank god: I dont require one!!!

433. No, I mean it you guys are REALLY crazy
     Its just a Tv sow anyway

434. No, I mean it you guys are REALLY crazy
     Its just a Tv show anyway

435. To dear Prithvi
     Why don’t you go and find another life! Loks like the life that God has given you isn’t good enough. You are so mean! Mind your own buisiness!

436. TNS is giving a twist in Arundhati-Manmohan love story in the climax!

     In Latest issue of ‘Hi Bangalore’ (by Ravi belagere), he mentioned that the serial will be coming to an end very soon.

     Off topic: By the way ‘Girish Hampali’, are you by any chance, the same ‘Girish Hampali’ mentioned by Ravi Belagere as his friend (and working in Infy), in Hi Bangalore. (Not trying to hijack this trhead, sorry for this OT, just out of curiosity :-))

437. My goodness … Aundhati and Pramod kumar’s scene is highly irritating …

     Till today I have not understood why Arundhati is refusing to marry Manmohan (after indirectly accepting that she loves him)

     Shruthi/Diya/Murthy …please explain me 🙂

438. Anitha, when Arunachalamurthy was alive, he had gone to Arundhati’s house, and talked to her and her family. He said that Manmohan has to become a powerful politician. For that he needs the right contacts. In what way will Arundhati help in that? Love and all is ok, but thinking practically, this marriage will hamper Manmohan’s career. On the other hand, Supriya Patel’s father is a top politician with lots of contacts, and he sees Manmohan’s potential, and is ready to do everything to make him reach the top. So marrying Supriya will prove right for his career.
     Also, there was a case going on, with Nanjunda as the informer. Madhavi Patel was working on it. So, if Nanjunda had to be pardoned, AM had to pardon him. AM even hints that if Arundhati goes and marries Manmohan, Nanjunda might land in jail. Arundhati thus decides not to go ahead with it. IN fact Manmohan even asks her once, if his father had come and talked to or threatened her. She avoids the topic.

     Girish, I did not dwell too much upon Arundhati’s feelings and all that in my update, because personally, I feel taht it is not worth spending so much time on that, coz court case is what everybody is interested in. IN fact, I would have prefered to finish that update with “Pramod kumar proposes to Arundhati and she asks for some time” :)))))) But still, for my readers, I expanded it a bit 🙂

     Prithvi, thanks for your insightful comments. If we are crazy, then what are you, an enlightened being, doing amongst us? Please go away! 🙂

439. Pramod Kumar Scene was really irritating, i think aru may not accept his proposal becoz after all the serial has to end on a happy note.

     Pramod kumar ge buddhi kettu hogidhe. Ondu hendathina kalakondu melu buddhi baralilla hendathi yendarene thalenovvu. (all akkas i dont mean you all).

     BTW one thing was the prof started to sweat even as CSP was just walking towards him. TNS even proved that even though they belonged to opposite clients still as a lawyer there is a strong liking for SS towards CSP off court.

440. Anitha, PB Srinivos avara ondu haadu idhe “Mounava Aabharana, mugulnage shashikirana, notava hoobana …….” antha. Aa haadinalli ondu saalu idhe “Kadalina aalava aledavarilla, hennina manasannu arithavarilla”. So according to the song and generally it is tough to find out what is there in Arundhati’s mind, or rather heart :-).
     I was really surprised when she asked some time for pramod kumar. Infact when arundhati began to go to PM’s house, somewhere I thought, he would propose her and there he was yesterday.
     Here Manmohan is suffering because he is not able to marry Arundhati and there Arundhati has asked some time to Pramod. This is absolutely contradictory.
     If Arundhati is so adamant of not marrying Manmohan, I think Manmohan should marry somebody else, right people?
     I believe any relationship is a two way. If it is one way, no point in spending time or travelling in that path 🙂
     Ofcourse, Manmohan may feel bad for some days, then later on he will get used to it with out Arundhati.
     It is Arundhati’s bad luck not to marry a guy like Manmohan.

     Coming to Prithvi, If you think we are crazy, it is your problem and not our’s. You are free to go where you feel intellectuals are. Also do not come here again and waste your time and also our’s, where in we will be forced to read and comment on your CRAZY comment.
     As sanajy pointed out, why don’t you start a blog on BAYWATCH and I am sure, you can meet lot of intellectuals there.

441. Do all of u remember when arundathi was made to drink alcohol intentionally by her boss?I think episodes were dragged too much about that which made most people unhappy including me.But after i came to a different country and after seeing these western women i realized the sentiments of an indian women.Hats off to all ladies writing in this forum.Now i truly know the value of an indian woman.Sorry i am writing about some unrelated topic,hope i have the permission from all of u to write about these aspects?If someone wants to address me please feel free to write at pradeep6422003@yahoo.com.Thanks shruthi madam i am trying my level best to catch up with this forum.If all the members of this forum meet oneday with CSP(TNS) I will ask him to give shruthi madam a part in the serial muktha.Ha Ha Ha.Kudos shruthi madam.

442. OH NO!!!!!!!!! Plz Chaitanya not u too…. Anyways, freedom of speech and thought are everyone’s birthrights….

     Girish, if at all one is ever in the position of needing a lawyer to prove their innocence, they would 9 times out of 10 prefer to go to someone like CSP… The “balance” of SS pales in front of the brilliance of CSP…He may be a bit too sarcastic, but can be forgiven for it as his only goal is to bring out the truth… And what better way to bring out the “bitter truth” apart from “sarcastic comments” ??

     Anitha, the reasons Shruthi has explained may not be the only ones… Maybe Aru, still has some lingering resentment against Manmohan for his earlier behaviour towards her.. And I’ve always felt that the only reason for the introduction of PK’s character was to bring this “twist in the tale”. Aru’s character, is shown to be self-sacrificing to the point of becoming selfish… And as Shruthi rightly said, it’s so irritating to watch her behave like the “one and only know-it-all”, that most people don’t bother about her reasons any more…

443. Hey Pradeep, it’s not irrelevant… This is an open forum for people to express their views regarding “Muktha”…. It’s no probs if u want to share u’r views regarding a long ago incident in the serial… After all, those incidents are what have helped in evolving those characters to what they are today… Though it’s probably not at all applicable in Aru’s case….!!!

444. There is a saying that, If a person reform’s himself for good, after being a bad guy, that person will be more trustworthy. In this case manmohan has reformed himself realising his earlier blunders. So Arundhathi will be wise enough if she marries manmoham, else she is not.

445. Dear Prithvi,

     This of course is just a TV show for those who fail to respond to emotions and fail to understand the effort that TNS has put before coming up with such a beautiful concept! If at all you had watched one single episode with attention you would know this blog spot is worth it! You must be used to watching some irritating and annoying tele serials that makes no sense than just dragging for years together! Anyways you coming twice to this blog spot and putting your comments here is the clear indication of how popular Muktha amongst people!

446. Should a person make a career for living or Live for making a career? When one gives up his loved ones, just for the sake of career, will there be any happiness/beauty in life?
     I feel Arundhati would be stupid if she rejects Manmohan.
     Marrying Pramod would be disaster for Aru..
     And Manmohan should not yield to the lure of politics!!

447. Pradeep, no Madams please, we are all friends here :))) And no, please, i don’t want a part in Muktha! instead of acting, i will go and start poking my nose in direction and ask TNS to finish off these silly love stories quickly 😉

     Prasanna, please, why are you saying that, ondu hendthi saaku and allthat 😀 I will complain to ur wife 😉

     You know, I enjoy the conversations that go on here 🙂

448. Shruthi, all the married guys here will agree with me. If all the participants (male) are Brahmacharis here then i want to make them aware about Worries Invited For Ever. !!!!!!!!!!!

449. Prasanna, my husband also reads the comments on this forum from time to time.. please don’t put thoughts in his head 🙂

     Girish, I agree with you that CSP’s behaviour was quite funny yday. In fact, I myself wanted to say, “Ree, Mr CSP, you are a senior advocate. Heegella maathadbaradu neevu. Please maintain the dignity of the court” 😉
     You have given an explanation for that, but nange artha aaglilla….”Phoot-layri” andrenu gotthaglilla :O

450. First of all, Prithvi, get your spelling right, OK?
     It’s not a sow, it is a show, OK? Glad to see you actually could be bothered fixing it up! You are really irritating me, and I don’t think I’m the only one feeling this way.

     People like Raksha, Shruthi, Sanjay and Prasanna don’t like it either. And stop criticising the site if you don’t like it, because people here like Shruthi and Murthy and Anitha and Sanjay and Diya and Chaitanya and MANY more people give up their time to provide updates and useful comments for this site, OK?!
     If you don’t think this is a good website, stop coming on it because then we’ll all be happy, got it? }:-[

     Ok, 🙂 😀 😛

     I heard somewhere that at the moment T.N.S sir is only concentrating on the court case scenes and leaving most of the scenes, not all of them, to his team, which is maybe why we are not finding Aru’s reaction, acting, story, etc.

     Thanks to everyone again, and Prasanna (uncle, anna, prasanna?) the e-mail address you wrote here said,

     gpsastry@yahoo.com. is that gpsastry@yahoo.com or gpsastry@yahoo.com. ?

     I have sent it to gpsastry@yahoo.com assuming that the second . was a fullstop.

     Confusing… 😛

     Oh, and Sanjay Anna, like you did with mine, you might want to remove the address from the site after some time, in case people misuse it. 😉

     I also really liked the way S.S. expessed his feelings in the court on Monday’s episode.

     Great to talk,
     Keep 😛 bye!

451. Amrutha, i received the ppt file. Its really great and nice to see within the limitation what you have shown.

     You can call me prasanna itself no probs. Thanks once again

452. Hi all…. I just got wondering whether Prithvi really deserves so much of our time…. I mean his comments have clearly shown him to be an attention seeker… Is it really worth our while to comment so much on his “comments” ?? I guess we’ve all expressed ourselves pretty well and thouroughly, when it comes to people of this ilk, posting comments here… Any more expressions from us would only embolden them… As they say, indifference towards one is worse than hate even, I guess we should all just ignore such weirdos… We can better devote our time and energy in having more interesting and worthwhile dialogues, instead…. 🙂

453. I am must really agree with the othe prithvi says ” U guys r really crazy ”
     all said and done – TNS has directed a very good serial,yes it asks us some questions. But still it is just a show on the tube nothingelse,
     we must really see whats happening around us take Jessica lal case for instance, what happened there?
     we r just getting all excited abt some serial
     what abt Jessica Lal’s family r we the youth of the nation just going to sit and watch this farce
     have lost our collective conscious, r we just going to watch some stupid serial and keep bloging abt something which is not important at all
     wake up ppl

454. Prithvi.J, whatever questions you have asked us about jessica lal points back to you too WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ?? Here we are wasting our time, its just during the Breaks during our work we come and share our views .

     If you were concerned about Jessicas, ( you forgot about Randhawa and Nilofer) you can go ahead and do millions for their family .

     This is just a break within Work time and we are very well aware of all the responsibilities towards the society and humanity . If you are not interested better dont interfere leave us within our domain.

     I doubt if both prithvis are same becoz the attitudes look common.

455. Hmm… looks like atleast one person Prithvi J agrees with the other Pritvi! Though, by a curious coincidence, they both have their email ids as [snip] And they both write from Touchtel India! (IP addresses reveal a lot? So he should consider being a bit more careful about misusing the illusion of internet anonymity in the future 😈 )

     Prithvi: Good that you recognise that there are so many other important things to do – some more are here. So you may go ahead and be the change you wish to see in the world – set an example to everybody – who’s stopping you…

     I’m not deleting any comments simply because of the spirit of democracy. There are all kinds of people in the world and I’d like to avoid forcing anybody (as far as possible) my opinion on others (for example by deleting their comments though its easy for me to do so). Maybe in a way its also a good thing, it gives us an opportunity to learn to deal with them. We might come across such people in the real world as well (where there is no need for us to escape, nor are we in a position to ask them to go away).

     I appreciate Sridhar’s attempt but probably it would work with someone who’s less thick-skinned than Prithvi. Diya & Shruti’s suggestion to ignore further shallow comments from him sounds like a better idea 🙂

     No point in justifying about Muktha, the serial speaks for itself… but still if it makes somebody come up with good points thats also good 🙂

     ———

     Thank Girish for your compliments!

     Pradeep, you can post any comments you like here, but if you feel its more generic and not much to do with Muktha you might also consider posting it at this entry on the Indian woman

456. Hi Prithvi J.

     I don’t understand one thing …you seem to be of the opinion that just because we watch a serial we have no concern for rest of the issues that the country is facing..
     Infact we do both .. we watch the serial, we also have concern for the other issues.
     In that way you should not be seeing any movies, should not get involved in any sports , should not get involved in any cultural activities, BECAUSE OUR COUNTRY IS FACING SO MANY ISSUES.

     ACCORDING TO ME TNS IS CREATING AWARENESS AMONGST THE GENERAL PUBLIC REGARDING THE VARIOUS ISSUES, WHEN REST OF THE SERIALS ARE WASTING THEIR TIME ON “SAAS-BAHU” QUARRELS.

457. Another mindless guy. Stop coming to places where you feel you people do not belong. Seems like the same prithvi is coming with another name.
     Look, we are discussing things which we feel is important to us. Mind you, the topics taken in this serial is of present day issues and not like your saas bahu serial.
     More over we never asked you to come and comment on what we do, right? You should be having better work to do?
     So, it is well advised for you not to waste your precious time and you can spend the same time with another pritvi discussing some falthu stuff.
     Yes we are disturbed of what has happened in Jessical Lal case and we have done our bit by participating in the poll, SMS campaign etc, and we have done our bit.
     Since you are more worried, have you gone and fought the case, no ! right? Then what bothers you here.
     For you this is some thing in the tube. There are things to be picked up from the serial which delivers a social message and make a person who can understand the jist of the serial more responsible towards the society.
     So what you have done for the Jessica Lal case?
     What you have done for the increase in extrimism in the country?
     What you have done for the poor in the country?
     See, everybody is doing there bit and it is not questionable by you.
     If you have a better work, you can carry on with it. Why are you wasting your time here, amongst us.
     If you feel it is useless, you can do what ever you like.
     Do not come here and post your thoughts here.

     Here the judicual system is hand in the glove of the politicians, which if you can, also see the same scenario in the serial as well.
     So, who voted the political system in India today at the centre. It is the general public. Why did not they vote for a better party to govern the country?
     In the central govt people from top of the tree to a chapraso are involved in the scams, looting public money. Every one responsible for the mess in the country now. If atlease one person can realise that by seeing the serial directed by TNS, then his efforts is not a waste. If that person is you, we all will be very happy.

     Please, do not comment again and make us to react again to your comment. If we are crazy, we are. Does that bother you, no! right?
     Then mind your business.

458. Another mindless guy. Stop coming to places where you feel you people do not belong. Seems like the same prithvi is coming with another name.

     Yes we are disturbed of what has happened in Jessical Lal case and we have done our bit by participating in the poll, SMS campaign etc, and we have done our bit.
     Since you are more worried, have you gone and fought the case, no ! right? Then what bothers you here.
     For you this is some thing in the tube. There are things to be picked up from the serial which delivers a social message and make a person who can understand the jist of the serial more responsible towards the society.
     So what you have done for the Jessica Lal case?
     What you have done for the increase in extrimism in the country?
     What you have done for the poor in the country?
     See, everybody is doing there bit and it is not questionable by you.
     If you have a better work, you can carry on with it. Why are you wasting your time here, amongst us.
     If you feel it is useless, you can do what ever you like.
     Do not come here and post your thoughts here.

     Here the judicual system is hand in the glove of the politicians, which if you can, also see the same scenario in the serial as well.
     So, who voted the political system in India today at the centre. It is the general public. Why did not they vote for a better party to govern the country?
     In the central govt people from top of the tree to a chaprasi are involved in the scams, looting public money. Every one responsible for the mess in the country now. If atlease one person can realise that by seeing the serial directed by TNS, then his efforts is not a waste. If that person is you, we all will be very happy.

     Please, do not comment again and make us to react again to your comment. If we are crazy, we are. Does that bother you, no! right?
     Then mind your business.

459. Hey Sanjay…I really feel that u should lose u’r spirit of democracy for a little while… Murthy, Prasanna, Anitha and others seem to be getting very heated up about the negative comments here… To keep tempers even, maybe u should consider deleting such comments altogether…

460. Diya, I can understand your calmness.

     Such calmness has done lot of damage to kannadigas and their activities in the past.

461. let tell u i dont need to hide or use illusion of internet anonymity, when i gave mail id i knew u cud get back to me so
     and getting back to the imporant part –

     pls go head enjoy ur serial and ur blogs
     if cant take a little criticism and just another opinion it makes me wonder how thick skinned u are
     and I wonder wud the Director agree with ur attitude
     hey dude murty u need to chill man
     too much anger is bad for u

     any ways best of luck with ur serial and blogs
     good bye
     u know wat a wise man said once
     “What has a begining has a End”
     bye

462. Thanx Prithvi (aka Prithvi J).
     What has begun (mindless crap from you) has really come to an end (you said goodbye) 🙂

463. Nice to see one nuisence is rid at this otherwise good blog.
     One thing is for sure. All the comments here are written, executed in good spirit of our land. Just the kind of folks TNS would expect to get to watch his serials, I guess.

     TNS is good since he is using his freedom of expression to dare speak the truth, truth that has spoiled the country for such a long period. The Youth bregade which Prithvi J was speaking about, will have to think about the truth that is being said thru Muktha.

     Remember, people would speak about the political goons and their impression on creating the rules to suit to them was spoken much before Muktha, but only as a gossip of the old ppl on the ‘arali katte’ of the villages or as a drawing room discussion topic of the middle aged ppl. And the youth were kept away from discussing it openly, thus driving them away from thinking of what is happening in the country. None of the media came out with this truth, at least none of them as effective as TNS.

     Thru MP, thru SKD, we get good hearted rulers, at the same time there are some gangsters in the form of Chabria using Ranes and SSs for their ill works. We have to think of a situation when the truth is being supressed to get some ‘Big’ people’s blessings, as happend in the case of Jessica Lal, and the Gujrat riot cases… Muktha is showing all of them raw. Thus getting the Youth of the country realise whats happening.
     We should not blame this blog fr wasting time. This blog is getting the good people in touch who has the spirit to come good in dscussions relating to country. Hats off to Sanjay for creating such a good site.

     And I want to write one more thing that was quoted in the court by CSP “Enu Indians aadre enoo invent madabarada? Indians buddivantaragirabarada? Foreign scientists matra hosadu kandu hidiya beka your Honour?” This is the spirit of Muktha, Indian ennuva feeling meriya bekadare namma naduve iruva Ranes and Chhabrias should go, and the bad Manmohans should find the devine way of living.

     Keep the good work going.
     – Srik.

464. Diya, some opposing views will always come up in any public forum 🙂 I check this site mostly only in the evening when I come home. When I said its easy to delete comments, I meant comments that were already posted (and then I’d have to delete all other’s comments [or parts of it that are related] as well who have replied to that comment, else by themselves they wouldn’t make any sense – and I guess its not so easy after all) And even if I give up my belief in democracy and make all comments moderated, I wouldnt have bandwidth to read and approve every comment as Shruthi rightly observed.

     In my opinion, just like we have gray characters in Muktha which makes the serial interesting and whom CSP has to deal with (he can’t abuse them in court or take them out of the serial!)… its the same with chaps like Prithvi as well, he may not necessarily be a really bad guy – he might just be a young chap who’s style of speaking is rough like that, and maybe imagined his comments wouldn’t be taken seriously 😀

     Anyway I think we shouldn’t allow such things to make us lose track of our main discussion 😉

     Wrt “such calmness has done lot of damage to kannadigas in the past” I’ve made some comments on the Kannada literature post.

     Srik, nice to read your comments – you really said it!

     Sanjeev, wrt …

     Should a person make a career for living or Live for making a career? When one gives up his loved ones, just for the sake of career, will there be any happiness/beauty in life?

     Hmm interesting question Sanjeev…. in my opinion the career may be great for a while but after that it may sort of becomes dry – unless maybe one gets a really ideal job. But in a typical case, there is such a thing called “depression of success” – where a person even after having achieved all that he wanted to achieve, feels that it was all meaningless. But anyway, trying to strike the right balance is a difficult thing to do as shown in this Dilbert cartoon 😀 but is worth the attempt anyway!

     —-

     Btw one thing we could put up here is a cast of characters for any newcomers to this page, who might get curious to watch the serial. If anyone has time to write one or post it here or email me, I’ll update the post entry above. Since the serial is getting over pls don’t spend too much of time on it! 🙂 Though luckily it hasn’t ended at the end of February as Ravi Belegere had commented in a samvaada!

     I think instead of a summary for today its better when the experts write a detailed update 8)

465. Thankgod, and pritvhi have a good life in your world.

     This is not anger which you are seeing, it is the frustration from people who have made India what it is today.

     People who are with in the circle of this mess are making use of this opportunity to make huge wealth and others who are out of the circle are the one who suffers. We are right now out of the circle.
     We would like to be in a circle where there are equal opportunities and respect of being an Indian.

     Dude prithvi, if you can see the mess around in our country, you should feel for it and think on how to improve things.

     Yes, one should get angry when people talk lightly about our country, state, system. Who are responsible for this.
     For example, opportunities are lost for merit students due to reservations. A dumb guy will become a doctor or an engineer and an intelligent guy is made to study what he/she should not.

     When people like you make irresponsible comments, it is obvious that you have face anger of others.

     As Anitha, has mentioned, we kannadigas are paying for being too soft and accomodative. True it is a metropolitan place, but we should maintian our identity and an out standing one too.

     The same applies to India. We Indians are soft to outsiders and that is one of the reason, India is losing its territory to Pakistan, China.

     Well, my comments is going to international level. I will stop here.

     Good night to all.

466. Diya: You are truly a fan of CSP. I have enjoyed the way he has unfolded truth in this serail. let up appreciate the things which were good. But his behaviour was far more pathetic in those scenes.
     TNS has scripted these scenes with an intent I think. The intent is to show that: “After SS supports him in the issue of providing security, CSP should not have slowed down in his remarks.”
     neways, CSP made me to laugh and get a bit off irritation with his behavior on that day’s proceedings.

     Shruthi: Phoot-lawyri is a ‘gramya’ word for a person who gets his rozi-roti by helping people in cases. these are the people who also act like agents of a lawyer. They understand a bit of law and talk a lot about it or blog about it. To get a good picture of phoot-layri, you can read the charecter ‘Revanna shetru’ in the bhyrappa’s novel ‘Grihabhanga’

     Avinash: You identified me right.

     Sanjay, think about making this blog to be available to other muktha fans who are net-literate. I have some ideas.

467. Hi everyone,
     don’t have much time, Vaidehi says hi, at school, glad to see that prithvi went, YES!!
     Anyway, tak at home, bye!! 😛 😀 🙂

468. Update – Wednesday – 28th Feb

     Cross examination of CP.
     csp – when did Mp call you and from where? to request you to print docs?
     cp – from her office, on nov 16th. i saw her caller id on my mobile
     csp – but i can prove that she was on inspection in navilukoppa on that day.
     cp – maybe she called from navilukoppa.
     csp – then how did her office number come on the mobile?
     cp tries to patchup, explain, but does not succeed.
     csp – ok leave it. why did u take so much time to go to Sandhya M and give these documents, about the fact that the pamphlets were printed by you, and the vehicles were sent by you on Madhavi Patel’s request?
     cp – i did not know it was relevant to the case.
     csp – shows a newspaper – but look, cp, the papers carried this info within two days of the murder. Didn’t you read it?
     cp – i don’t read that paper.
     csp – it had come in all the papers, not only this. or are u saying u dont read papers?
     cp – yes, not much.
     csp – ok bidi. now see this, i cross examined shivraj hegde on jan 9th. there I caught him with facts which showed that the pamphlets were printed by chhabria’s company, and that vehicles were sent by chhabria’s company. the very next day, you have gone to Sandhya M with these files, that is on jan 10th. What does that show? Suddenly buddhana tharaha gnanodaya aagi hoytha? Doesn’t it show that you went to do damage control?
     cp – sweats, doesn’t say anything.
     csp – ok, now let us talk about Usha Gopinath’s murder
     cp – sweats a lot, gets shaken up.
     csp – ayyo, i just mentioned about it, i did not ask you if u have done it.. why are u getting so disturbed? be careful, you might reveal the truth if this goes on 🙂
     ok , now you were her guide in the university right? and you knew chhabria from 10 years back. He used to travel in a motorcycle then. Those days, Chhabria had a tissue culture lab, and he used to come to meet you.
     cp – yes, he used to come to meet me for work related to tissue culture.. not to talk about usha gopinath.
     csp – did i say that? ok anyway you helped his business, and slowly he moved to moving in a car. Then UG hit upon a great discovery. You gave Chhabria the secret, and then you disposed of UG, and that is hwo Chhabria moved to moving about in jet planes and choppers.
     cp – no no.
     ss – objection. this UG case is irrelevant. why is he bringing it up here?
     csp – 1) i can use any previous case to prove the incredibility of the witness
     2) my defence is that MP has been framed in this case just coz she opened UG case. So i have every right to talka bout this case.
     judge – objection overruled.
     csp – thank you
     is about to continue, when someone comes in with a chit for the judge. judge reads it.
     judge – my wife is to have an emergency operation, and i will have to go away for 2 days. can we continue this on friday? is it ok?
     csp – of course, please go and come, and take care.

     Chhabria and Rane in car. The gangster who has taken the Supari of CSP comes, and they send the driver out.
     Gangster (G) – we were planning to have the hit tomorrow, but everyhting is out in the papers, that CSP fears for his life and has police protection.
     Rane – you should have been careful.
     Chhabria – ok ok enough of that, now what?
     G – not possible now, innu late aagatthe.. with police around its difficult. Mylari patel has been allocated. he is too good, he will catch us. you cannot manipulate any policeman also coz they will change everyday, and everybody should not know about this. Also, CSP has mentioned that he thinks that you two are out to get him. So whatever happens, it will come on you. Think. do u want to take the risk?
     There is one more plan. it can be made to look like an accident. but is it ok if Csp’s assistant also goes?
     Rane – no, preferably not, avara tande nange bekkaddavaru.
     G – ok then arrange for her not to go with him day after tomorrow.
     Rane – ok i will arrange, whats the plan?
     G – the cost will be doubled for this plan. The road from Hemagiri to sudukoppa goes through a quarry where dynamite is used…
     (then he is shown explaining in mute, we cannot hear the plan)
     Rane and Chhabria like the plan.

     [I feel i have forgotten something, if you know what it is, please add to it. Thanks]

469. Hi
     When I first wrote the blog in ur site, I had a idea that u guys cud take some criticism and opinion which is some what different from u guys. But it’s a shame that u guys just cant take a simple but different view, all u guys wanted was get rid of me. I never said u guys shudnt blog abt serial or what ur doing is bad , I just suggested there cud b better things to do and u cudnt take that . I believe the serial or TNS wud agree with ur attitude .
     anyways I have already said bye
     Hey sanjay it looks ur the only one who cud understand the reality little bit, but u gotta stop comparing ppl from the serial with real ppl.
     Murthy dude chill man, get rid of the anger
     Hope the serial bring you more joy and yes little bit of patience
     Bye

470. Hi Prithvi J.

     If you really have some ethics do not try to change whatever you said before … here is what you said

     **************
     406
     prithvi Says:

     February 24th, 2006 at 12:32 pm
     oh good i never thought there will be a blog for a kannada serial
     u guys a really crazy
     **************

     You are very much welcome to give your different opinions about Muktha serial both +ve and -ve … but you said a BLOG for a KANNADA serial is a waste ….

     Thats why we protested….
     to much man

471. Anitha, it was not my calmness speaking for me..It was more a sense of being true enough to my convictions and beliefs, which makes me able to hear other viewpoints which may all not neccessarily correspond to mine.. Sanjay, I only wanted the discussions here to focus more on the different issues raised in Muktha, rather than on people venting their anger on a differing view point.. That’s the reason why I made such an improbable suggestion… I’ve absolutely no issues with differing views..I can learn a lot from them too… And Girish, thanx for calling me a fan of CSP… In reality, his character is not very close to my heart.. And his sarcasm in this particular case, has been flavoured with arrogance, I feel… But, that does’nt detract from the other abilities of the character…

472. General Suggestion: Please lets not cross-examine PJ here – whatever you want to say to him or about him, pls email him directly 🙂

     Shruti, I don’t think you’ve missed anything this time to the best of my memory 🙂

     Diya, point taken.

473. man u guys are some thing u sud get out more often in to the real world
     dude crazy & stupid are very harmless words ask any one, trust me there are words that cud hurt u dude i think i said TNS has directed a good seial, what does that mean?
     buddy really get back to ur blogs and b happy with it
     bye dude
     hope u will also agree
     peace man
     bye

474. Sanjay, u’ve said it all by abbreviating the name… Cool sense of humour, should I say???!!! And Shruthi, the phone call is claimed to have been made to CP’s office no… The caller id installed there picked up the office no of MP, he says.. On being told that she was in Navilukoppa, he says that his P.A, saw the no and made a note of it…And traps himself in the process, as he had earlier admitted to having seen the no flash on the id himself.

     Another point I noted or rather my mom did, before me, was that the UG case has been treated as a suicide all along, by the prosecution.. In y’day’s episode, SS when objecting to the introduction yet again of that case says, “Why should CSP again drag the UG “murder” case ?”.. It is then that CSP claims that it is imperative to bring out the points in that case as it would damage tthe credibility of the witness (CP)…

475. There you go again! Why you came back again !
     You are going over board with you language prithvi!

     “But it’s a shame that u guys just cant take a simple but different view”

     Why should we accept a different view from you?
     We are ready to take up constructive criticism, but not weightless criticism from people like you.

     If you can’t show respect to a language, atleast do not show disrespect to it, or for that matter with respect to anythi
     It is natural that people get anger when they hear worthless comments from you. It is not only me who is angry.

     We have enough patience, but you are making us very impatient. No need for us to learn about patience from you.
     Ofcourse the serial is bringing more joy to us, but it seems you are the one who is not happy with it.
     Also, apart from watching the serial, we are also doing better things in life. But there is no need for us to explain that to you.
     Between what you did for the Jessical Lal case and other national issues?

     Hope you won’t come back again !

476. Prithvi,
     Shutup man (can’t control my irritation, everyone), peace man to you to, stop trying to act cool, for all we care, we don’t want you here, so just go away.You are wasting your time here, just go away.
     Stop saying Murthy dude, and all that other silly stuff.

     You are so irritating, so just be quiet.
     And why do you keep coming back on if you think it is such a crazy website, leave ppl in peace, K?
     Sanjay Anna, I would soooooooooo e-mail him if I knew his address, but i don’t so i wont.

     }:-[

     My god, Shruthi, you’ve written such a long message! You say Hats off to me, I say hats off to you! 🙂

     Sanjay Anna, I noticed that you wrote we can put alist of characters on here, do you mean just the screen names or real names?
     Tell me, because I’ll be happy to write them out for everyone here that’s interested (obviously, Prithvi is not)

     Ok,
     Talk later
     Keep 😛 !

477. hey
     I just realized that you’vesupplied PRITHVI’s e-mail, k, i will mail
     🙂

478. Sorry, writing again!

     I just had to comment on Anitha,
     Anitha, you always seem to have the perfect answer for everything! how do you do it? Like this here:

     I don’t understand one thing …you seem to be of the opinion that just because we watch a serial we have no concern for rest of the issues that the country is facing..
     Infact we do both .. we watch the serial, we also have concern for the other issues.
     In that way you should not be seeing any movies, should not get involved in any sports , should not get involved in any cultural activities, BECAUSE OUR COUNTRY IS FACING SO MANY ISSUES.

     ACCORDING TO ME TNS IS CREATING AWARENESS AMONGST THE GENERAL PUBLIC REGARDING THE VARIOUS ISSUES, WHEN REST OF THE SERIALS ARE WASTING THEIR TIME ON “SAAS-BAHU” QUARRELS.

     I hope that blockquote thingy worked!

479. Phoot-lawyri antha pada nannage thumba hidisithu. I think in general they are like Compounders who are also Doctors in Absentia in suggesting Medicines for common problems

480. I guess compunders can also be called as “phoot-vaidya” 🙂 as Govinda in Silly Lalli

481. Amruta, Murthy, Anitha…

     There is a golden saying.. ‘Never argue with idiots, because they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience!’

     So just ignore Mr.PJ and I am sure he will never come back!

     Regards,
     Chaitanya

482. Too much Diya, thats a nice observation on SS mentioning ‘murder’…! Not sure it was deleberately included by TNS or dialogue writer’s fault or something else!

     But that made me think.. that how difficult it is for the screenplay and dialogue writers for these daily soaps! They need to remember each character’s situation, what do they know, what they don’t, what’s their character and how they react etc etc! Great work by them.

     Chaitanya

483. I’m with u on that Chaitanya… The screenplay writers deserve a hearty round of applause for their wonderful work…!!!

484. I think SS tells that as “Murder” since Rane and Chhabria express infront of SS the other day that they killed UG.

     Might be keeping that incident in mind he says that

     Diya you can very well dispute it. 😀

485. That might very well be the reason, Prasanna.. Or it can also be ‘coz CSP always says “UG murder case”..and so SS says the same in an imitation of CSP’s way… But, the fact is that as the prosecution lawyer, his statement can be detrimental to his own case. The UG case had only been reopened for investigation, and not brought in front of any court.. So, officially, the case is still treated as a suicide case..SS by using the “M” word has accepted that the defence CSP is putting forth for MP is valid.. This in turn can prove her innocent…I just wanted to highlight how such a small point has the capacity to affect the entire case… 🙂

     But, I seem to have made a name as someone who’ll always dispute what most people say… 🙁 Guess, I must temper my comments or rather my “disputive comments”… 🙁

486. Hi Sanju anna,
     I happened to check this website today. Its really exciting to see this web page which describe whole conversation of “muktha” fans. Even i am one among them. I really appreciate u b’coz u provided a platform for all of us to share views on “muktha”.

487. Hellow Sanjay,
     Is it possible to put a filter to stop people like PJ (the initials are apt – Poor Joke) from even posting any comment on this great blog? Agreed he is a mindless person and we should not react to any crap he writes. But, after all we are human and cannot be so controlled and restrained always. I know that I’m looking at something that is almost impossible, but it can be worthwhile to give it a try.

     This is a fantastic blog and I really congratulate all the contributors, especially Shruthi for her meticulous updates. Now, I can be rest assured that I will not really miss any episode.

     Best Wishes,
     Ramesh.

488. Diya dont take my words very seriously. It was only you who have been answering to every other’s doubts and thoughts very meticulously.

     Sanjay Anna andEspecially Shruthi will agree to me ( no chance for you to dispute now)

     So just pulling ur legs Ms Lady CSP 😀

489. Hi All,

     Why are you making big fuss about PJ and his comments ? Serial has captured the attention of masses and there will always be critics. Infact, that’s what make the life more interesting.

     Honestly, I am a die hard fan of TNS for long (from the first episode of MUKHAMUKHI in late 80’s or early 90’s). He is not run of the mill and has proved time and again that he is cut above the rest. I hope many of the kannadigas are aware of the great musician Purandaradasa who said – ” NINDAKARIRA BEKAYYA BALINALI”. In every sphere of our life, it is the critics who brings out the best in us.

     My suggestion and request would be to accommodate any critic however poor their views are. Reaction need not be the only way to settle scores ! Sheer ignorance can work brilliantly well.

     Bye

     KNR

490. KNR. You deserve Accolades!!!
     People like PJ are pain in the neck.. ummm pain everywhere. You know where they can lead to? they pump in dirth, shit, everywhere. I think the community did the right thing by attacking him.
     Shruthi: Updates were very much helpful as I missed the episode.
     Hey all, I got into this blog a bit late and I had nice time yesterday night reading through all 16 pages. Seriouly the comments in this blog are good and this material is enough for TNS to carry E-Samvada.
     Sanjay: Any thoughts on sharing this blog with print media?

     Regards
     Girish Hampali

491. Today it was refreshing to see CSP as a casual everyday person 8) Nanjunda was really in an ethical controversy! The detailed update will give more details…

     Girish: haven’t given a lot of thought about the printed media yet, am running a bit short of time nowadays. Probably I’ll try one approach later this week (anyone else can try it as well if they like) – to email the leading Kannada dailies and maybe also Deccan Herald(they’re all online with websites) this URL and they could consider publishing excerpts from it. There are no copyrights for any original content on this site.

     Ramesh: Your suggestion about moderation is understandable, but its been discussed before for example in this comment. Thanks for your nice remarks.

     Swetha (aka Arpitha): what a surprise to hear from you 🙂 will call you sometime this week… And thanks for your remarks, there was really nothing much I did, everything just happened automatically… and hence the words in bold above acknowledging everybody 😀

     Amruta: I meant cast of characters in the following format:

     CharacterName [Actor Name] : description and role

     Eg:
     CSP [TN Seetharam] : The leading lawyer who’s fighting the case against all odds in trying to establish the truth.

     One more thing on yesterday’s update:

     judge – my wife is to have an emergency operation, and i will have to go away for 2 days. can we continue this on friday? is it ok?
     csp – of course, please go and come, and take care.

     At this point actually it was really touching to see CSP expressing a lot of genuine concern for the judge, telling him “aithu swaami, hobutu banni” and he uses some really beautiful refined vocabulary that I unfortunately can’t recall now 🙁 [in case anyone can help it would be good]

492. Hi folks i just have a question for u guys.Is there a place called navilukoppa in karnataka?cross examination of csp is onething i miss a lot now,especially the witty questions he asks,they r simply amazing.Also where is muktha samvada next?I mean in which place will it take place?If anyone happens to attend that please make sure to record the program.Its my sincere request to all of you.

493. Update – Wednesday – Mar 1.

     Arundhati goes home, and is looking preoccupied. She waits till Gowri comes home, and talks to everybody, tells them that film actor Pramod Kumar had proposed to her. Everybody is stunned. Aru – He asked very suddenly, I could not say anything. I have told him that I will ask at home and let him know. Nange avaranna madve madkobeku anthanu anstha illa, maadkobaaradu anthanu anstha illa. What shall I say?
     Ajji – Tell him, that we all said no.
     Aru- why?
     Ajji – You say he is married but separated from his wife, and he must be at least 15 years older to you, and Ee Film navara jothe sambandha namma manege sari hogalla. Ninge yen aagide antha avaranna madve maadkobeku?
     Amma – Ajji is right.
     Aru – Ok, then I will say no, but let me tell you, that none of the above points make me refuse him, because he is a very nice person. He is not like the other lewd men I met. [She also tells them that she lent him money taken from Annapurna madam]. Anyway, since you all feel this way, I will refuse him.

     Nanjunda is walking in the night, when he passes a group of young men sitting and drinking. One of them calls out to Nanjunda. It is the same guy who has spoken to Rane and Chhabria the prev day, in connection with the Supari. Nanjunda addresses him as Jagan.
     Jagan- come and sit here
     Nanjunda – no, i am going to the bus stop. it is getting late. and i don’t drink, and I have left all these activities.. i dont want to sit with you.
     Jagan is drunk – Come and sit here. I heard u gave ten lakhs back to Navudkar? Why did u do that? Kodbardagitthu avanige
     Nanjunda -shocked – why are u speaking like that about the boss?
     Jagan – i am now in rival gang – Gangaswami’s gang. Navudkar used to pay us very little for each job. But Gangaswamy pays us handsomely. He asked me to get you also. In fact, he offered to give u protection if you don’t pay Navudkar back his ten lakhs. Come and join us. You can live like a king.
     Nanjunda – no
     Jagan – what are u doing now?
     Nanjunda – thota, gadde kelasa.
     Jagan – and? u will hang urself like ur father? Come and join us [persuades a lot]. Do u know what clients we have? Rane and Chhabria are our clients! They hav given an assignment which i am handling – Yaavudo kireek lawyer na mugisbekanthe.
     Nanjunda is shocked – Yaaru?
     Jagan – hesarella helolla… He has police protection, but my plan is great. I will stop a van in the middle of the road near the quarry at Navilukoppa, and when that lawyer comes there, everyhting will get over in a minute!
     Nanjunda tries to find out something more, but Jagan gets careful. Then N turns to go.
     Jagan – if u say anything about this to anyone, i will cause trouble to you, and to Gowri an Arundhati.
     Nanjunda sweats, goes off.

     Nanjunda at Csp’s house, waiting. Csp comes in wearing jogging gear and a cap,
     csp pulls Nanjunda’s leg a lot, about the fact that avara maneyavaru yavaglu disturb madthare, csp free layari madthane antha murder kooda maadbahudu, and that and this…
     Nanjunda remains silent. Csp says, why are u so silent when i am joking so much? Then he asks his house help to go and get coffee.. For Nanjunda, from the canteen where they don’t wash the vessels properly, and for CSP himself, the coffee made by Sheela, coz Sheela will not make coffee for Nanjunda’s maneyavaru.

     Nanjunda very hesitantly stars telling what he heard… he repeats the entire conversation .. he stresses that police protection idrunu upayogavillavanthe…. Csp listens to it, then gets serious.
     Then Nanjunda with tears in his eyes says, please do not tell this to anybody, Jagan will harm my sisters. Its ok if anything happens to me.. but what if they throw acid on my sisters or something? Especially please don’t tell the police, they will take Jagan in for questioning….. Nanjunda’s tears are flowing….
     Csp says, will I hurt your family members? I will not tell anybody. Please don’t cry.
     Csp is lost in thought.
     [as usual, please make additions, if I have forgotten anything :)]

494. Part 2 of the update has been uploaded twice, but each time it says “comment held up for moderation”. Can someone please tell me if you can see both Part 1 and Part 2 on the page?
     If you can, then fine. Sanjay, if you can get to the site, please delete the repeated comments. It will be easier for people to read 🙂

495. Shruthi “Jagan – if u say anything about this to anyone, i will cause trouble to you, and to Gowri an Arundhati.
     Nanjunda sweats, goes off.”

     This is what the last i could see, so i think other part which you were telling has not been uploaded.

496. Prasanna, thanks.. I don’t know why, Part 2 is just not getting uploaded. It is held up for moderation. Will try again, one last time 🙂 If it does not work, then Sanjay has to come and release my comment, that’s all 🙂

497. No, the commment again got held up for moderation. So here is what happened, in brief.

     Nanjunda goes to CSP’s house, and tells him of his conversation with Jagan, and requests him, with tears in his eyes, not to tell anybody about this. CSP assures him that he won’t, and he starts thinking about this.

498. Thanks agains shruthi akka :-), I had missed sterday’s episode as I had been out for a function. I could visualise thro’ your narration.

499. Shruthi, as such you had covered the main
     storyline in Part 1 itself. so except few scenes nothing left

500. Hi all,

     Just wanted to know ur views on the scene where Jagan was involved.

     I thought he was a great choice for the role. He showed more ethics than Suryavamshi in his work. He performed brilliantly and the way TNS has handled his role is extraordinary. Isn’t it?

     – Srik.

501. Ok,
     Will do the cast list of characters in a short while, when they play the credits next!
     Ok, I promise that from today onwards, I will not speak a word about Prithvi J(arghh)

     But can you all also stop? This is actually turning into more of a Prithvi blog that a Muktha blog, thanks for opening my eyes, Chaitanya Anna! 🙂

     Ok, talk later
     Keep 😛 !

502. And also from that e-mail Shruthi, and Sanjay Anna, hehe,
     wont do it again

503. BTW how is our Anna avaru ( Rajkumar), I read in newspaper that he was admitted in Hospital.

     I miss all the local News being Away from Namma Bengaluru.

504. Prasanna, yes rajkumar avarannu admit maadalagide. Avara aarogya eega sudhariside antha naanu papernalli odhide.

505. Hello
     i am a great fan of nanjunda. He is my breath i like him too much,if i have a chance i will act with him…. i love you nanju

506. Hi,
     Sanju
     I saw your website,it is fantastic.keep it up
     with luv
     Basavaraj

507. This is to anishka singtalur,well anishka already nanjunda is taken(I mean he has already found his partner),just to let u know that there are many others in this blog who are still single and not yet married.Ha Ha Ha.Good luck.
     Dear friends i am disappointed since no one responds to my messages????I expected atleast the heroine of this blog(Shruthi) to answer my question.
     Regards,
     Pradeep.

508. Update – Thursday – Mar 2

     SKD goes to meet CSP and ask his advice.
     skd – please take 20000, as ur fees, i have some prob now, will give u rest later.
     csp – its ok, did i ask u for it? actually this is just not enough.. i ahve lots of kharchu – going everyday to sudukoppa itself is 1500 per day… and the driver eats too much…. anyway, its ok, give me the money later no prob.
     SKD – it looks like we might be cleared, the way the case is going, so i wanted to stand for election. just wanted to know whether there is any law prohibiting me from contesting.
     CSP – no, there is no law. If you are just accused, you can contest, if you are indicted, then u cannot. But don’t be too confident on winning. SS can interpret the data in an entirely different way, and the judge can believe him. Anyway, why suddenly? You were saying u would not want to go for elections?
     SKD – my followers have been with me, and Raneyavaranna eduru haakikondiddare… if Rane wins, then nanna followers na bali thogondbidthare… so at least for them, i have to contest. Also, there is no strong opposition. The leader of the opposition is a good man, but weak. So its my duty to contest.
     csp – but already sheela prasad has been selected to stand from hemagiri… what will u do, ask her to step down?
     skd – no, no, i will stand from satyankatte.
     csp – what can i say of your innocence, skd? do u think you will get a ticket? Rane is the head now, and another person is the party president. You have been framed to get you out of the election picture, how will they give you a ticket? See SKD, even now, i can arrange a meeting between you, MP, SS, Rane and Chhabria, and tell them to take back the case, so that you can go free. But by this what will happen? Rane will not get caught. And if he becomes CM, Chhabria will control him like a puppet with his money. If evil and money get together, the state will go for a toss. I have a selfishness also here. If they come to power, they will immediately finish me. For this, the case has to go on.
     Skd – I have heard that even now there might be danger to ur life.
     csp – i already have definite info on this. i know that.
     skd – then tell the police.
     csp – how can i? i have promised the source that i will not..
     skd – who is the source?
     csp – nanjunda. but don’t tell it to anybody. he is scared that his family members will be harmed. if i tell it to anybody, then he will come to harm? Isn’t keeping up my word more important than my life? I dno’t mind dying, but i cannot be called a promise-breaker.

     Rane goes to Bhimanna’s house (Vimala’s father) with a huge basket of fruits. He calls him gurugalu.. and flatters him to the core…
     Bhimanna – yenu bandaddu?
     RAne – namma gurugalanna nodakke bande.. ishtu dina nimma ashirwada itthu, innu ee elections gu irbeku… neevu gandhiwadi… nimma maathu innu yellaru respect madthare – blah blah blah blah…..
     Goes on flattering.
     RAne – actually Devarajaiah navaru ondu function ittkondiddare, i thought i would invite you as a senior person, but he wants only female chief guest, so ic ame to invite Vimala, ur daughter.
     Bhimanna calls Vimala.
     Rane- i have come to invite u as a chief guest?
     Vimala – me? Nangenu gotthu antha karithidira?
     Rane – What are u saying? you have studied law and you know a lot of things.. you are Bhimanna’s daughter… and more than that… you are the great csp’s assistant.. whatever he says about me, he is a very intelligent lawyer, u r fortunate to work under him… come on, as a lady, yuou will be an inspiration…. blah blah
     Vimala – ok, but when is it?
     Rane – tomorrow, 10 o clock
     Vimala – but naale court ide.
     Rane – then take raja… ask csp
     Vimala calls up csp and tells him. Csp laughs loudly, says, nannanne yaaru kardillvalla illi thanka.. he says, ok fine, if i stop you, hengasu antha hogokke bidalilla antha mahila sanghadavaru hidkothare, hogbittu baa.
     Rane is thrilled.

     Next mornign. Csp is running late, he comes out and gets into his Maruti Omni, The police jeep is in front, but develops a puncture. The tyre will have to be changed, says policeman. it will take five mins.
     csp – ok then i will leave, u change tyre, and come quickly
     csp leaves. just as the van moves, a person standing behind a building makes a call to jagan. the van moves thro hilly areas…. on the way, various ppl are standing, and make calls just as the van passes them. finally one man is standing with a jeep, he gets the call, and quickly moves the van to the middle of the road, takes out a tyre of the van, throws some tools and equipments on the road, and goes and hides. csp’s van comes and stops right behind it.
     csp suddenly remembers nanjunda saying that van adda nilsirthare aaga mugisbidthare….
     he looks around… very tense moment.
     Suddenly, in the rocky hills above him, there is a blast, and a huge rock starts tumbling down full speed towards the camera.
     End.

509. “Chennagi Bhashana madi CHEETI BARKONDU”….CSP says to Vimala 🙂 🙂 …
     I like such tit bits from TNS…

510. Hi everybody, I cannot watch Muktha tonight (Friday) as I am going out… so Sanjay, Diya, or anybody else who is free, PLEASE ARRANGE TO GIVE FRIDAY’S UPDATE! Thanks!

     Pradeep, I am not the “heroine” of this blog or an expert on Muktha or anything 🙂 I only do the work of updating 😉 In fact there are many more informed people in this forum who, I am sure will know lots more than me!

     So I really don’t know whether Navilukoppa is a real town. For that matter, – Hemagiri, Sudukoppa.. all of them sound like real villages 🙂 Btw, on the way to Mysore somewhere near Channapatna-Ramanagara, I saw a temple, whose name was “Jalakanteshwara Devalaya” :))

511. Hi,
     Hope everyone is with crossed fingers by y’day climax…. Me toooooo
     Eagerly waiting 4 today’s continuity.
     I feel the climax scene may be a dream of CSP, What u guys say ?

512. Shruthi….. U R going to miss the best of MUKTHA today, Dont worry we are here to update U, Guess what if this blog was not there…. Thanks everyone to make this blog “JEEVANTHA/LAVALAVIKE”

513. There is a seminar for me(along with dinner ofcourse), but im thinking of skipping the dinner part (which i usually never do 😀 ).

514. Hi Friends,

     The scenes where the car accident happened (Jalakanteshwara jaatre) are all from Yellapura (North Kanara district) as is shown at the end of serial. So I doubt if the names that TNS is using are all existing! But they resemble the pattern of names that we usually find in our side (I am from Sirsi, NK) 😉

515. Can you believe this? There are quite a lot of ppl (inlcuding my parents) who eagerly wait for the muktha ad shown in etv containing the tit-bits of today evening’s episode.

     They switch on etv only to see this ad and try to get more-than-what-they-can-see about today’s episode!

     Wonder what they are showing for todays episode.
     God…! its a tension-filled-wait for today 9PM.

516. All the names TNS has chosen is excellent and some new and upcoming places in Karnataka should be named after them to honour TNS.

517. Praveen, I don’t think the climax is CSP’s dream . I guess it is true.

     Remember his conversation with SKD, where he says he has to protect himself in such a way that nobody would suspect Nanjunda… So, CSP might have thought if he does not go by that route at all then they would suspect Nanjunda …So to protect him CSP intentionally goes by his usual route …and MAYBE if would have jumped out of his car or have done something else to protect himself (Lets watch in today’s episode 🙂 )

518. Friends,

     This blog is doing invaluable service for the horanadinalli iruva kannadigaru. Sanjay, Shruti, Murthy, Prasanna and everybody here is doing a great job. As Ramesh has said, there will always be critics. As long as the criticism is reasonable, it can be accomodated. But some ignorant, juvenile talk should at best be ignored.

     I am here in the US, catching up with what I am missing through your blog. Please continue the good work.

519. Hello!
     I now know that Navilukoppa is a real place..
     I am getting so scared about CSP, the scenes were dramatised really well, I really liked the way CSP acts his part,

     😛
     Well,
     Talk later,
     AND keep 😛 !

520. come on man were is ur democrancy now
     wat abt my rights
     wat a pity man u guys cant own up ur mistakes
     be sportive ma

521. Of all the names only the Hemagiri exists which is located anout 80-100 kms temple and is famous for Varadaraja Devasthana.

     Jalakanteshwara is actually name given to Lord Eshwara and all the 12 Jyothirlingagalu which is located in India ( can remember few- rameshwaram,srisailam,nasik,baroda,jharkand,kedarnath,…..)

522. Good News Guys…. I am happy to find the link for mp3 format of tiltle songs of MUKTHA, MAYAMRUGA, MANVANTARA & GARVA…..

     http://pratapa.blogspot.com/2006/02/kannada-serial-title-songs.html

     Hope u all like this….. Tell me thanks 4 this.

523. on the way, …

     on the way, CSP is quite cool… smiling or just looking at something very casually.

     csp’s van comes and stops right behind it.
     csp suddenly remembers nanjunda saying that van adda nilsirthare aaga mugisbidthare….

     CSP also recalls that najunda was saying they’ll take care of the police… and then recalls that the police jeep had a flat.

     [comment: at this point even I was wondering what could they possibly do to murder without shooting but in a way that looks just like an accident]

     Suddenly, in the rocky hills above him, there is a blast, and a huge rock starts tumbling down full speed towards the camera.

     Actually there are a series of multiple blasts all over the top of the hill… and many massive boulders rocks and mud get into motion… basically its a simulation of a landslide…

     With just one boulder, it may be possible to run out of the way, but with the whole surface of the hill moving towards the road, I really wonder how CSP will manage to escape.

     It will only have to be by sheer luck… like playing an arcade video game where the character in the game is actually one’s own life! Else he might find some kind of a shelter but there seemed to be none 🙁

     This was a most unexpected twist! IMO there’s no question of him having expected the whole thing and having some kind of a secret backup plan.

524. Praveen,

     Thank you for your effort …

     Sanjay has already put up that link (just scoll a little above , before the comments start … and you can see links related to muktha)….

     In any case thanks to you 🙂

     Anitha.

525. can u pls point out where i was offensive , first blog i in fact apperciated u fellow
     but u guys totaly mis understood it
     second time i aired my opinion – u guys just cudnt take it
     u went far as comparing me with grey characters of the serial
     comeing back part i made a mistake once
     but to day u invited me back buddy
     still i apolagised for it rember
     trust me man i am not angry. just trying to make a point
     is the point take n ? if so put my blogs back – if ur realy a good blogge

526. sanjay anna the cops said they would be there within 5 mins and the distance CSP would have covered would be approx 30-40 Kms and still the cops couldn’t catch up CSP’s taxi. Cud it be another conspiracy ??? (just give a thought over it)

527. hi Friday’s update.
     In the court judge, SS and others were surprised when CSP was not there and also his assistant Vimala. When judje asks about it, they will get news that CSP’s car has roll over by granite boulders and chances of his survival is very less.Everybody including SS, Judge are very upset but Chabria and Shivaraj Hegdge will not be control their happinesss internally. The New police inspector who was incharge of area where CSP had this incident willl go to hospital where CSP is admitted and miracleously escaped with minor injuries, The inspector was actually student of CSP in the city colege and both of them wil remember one beautiful kannada poem.CSP insists that he wants to go to court atleast in the second seession and requests inspector to get his cloths /file etc which is at his home. CSP will explain the incident to judge/SS othersij the court and says it is attempt on his life and he is very shocked due tothis. Judge feels very bad and offers CSP to stay with him in the outhouse in his quarters since juddge feels that CSP is in real danger and asks Suryavamshi if he is having any issues if CSP stays with judge. Suryavamshi says that absolutely he has got no issues as judge is very well known for sincerity and above that it becomes everybody’s duty to support CSP morally. He also mentions that he always want to defeat CSp in court but he is not ready to loose person like CSP who fights for justice. This dialogue is very imp since SS feels that CSP is fighting for justice internally.Finally CSP thanks both judge and Suryavamshi. I think I missed one more point when CSp was explaining in court some of te lawers says that even police might be involved in conspiracy for killing CSp which CSP denies squarly and appreciates the duties of police. I think CSp came to court yesterday definitely to get sympathy towards him and he will be safe, Only way for him was to stay with judge which is safest. The direction is price less TNS is simply the best. Each scene , dialogue has got lot of messages which makes us to think

528. Actually missed the first half of yesterday’s episode myself… but still can more or less construct it from some scenes I happened to see in a trailer earlier in the evening. But needless to say [but I’m saying anyway ;)] corrections or details are welcome.

     ———-

     In the court, people are wondering why CSP hasn’t come, and suddenly someone comes in and announces about the accident. They say that CSP was nowhere to be found but the vehicles were totally crushed and destroyed.

     CSP is in a hospital, being taken care of by a doctor. The follow up police van had got him there after they found him unconscious. The local inspector Devanand who was his student once visits him. He’s regained consciousness, but is injured in several places – his bleeding hand in a bandage. Though the medical staff insist that he rests, he wants to go to the court, and requests the inspector Devanand one small favor – he could consider it as his ‘gurudakshina’ if he likes – to get him a new set of clothes from his house.

     He arrives at the court and narrates his story to the judge:

     [While narrating he finds it very painful, and every now and then he winces and pauses for some rest – esp every time he uses his injured hand to gesticulate out of habit]

     He says that he had left his place and was driving down, admiring the beautiful lake and greenery and all the beauty of nature. Breathing in such tranquility, a lot of nirmalavaada aalocanegaLu come to mind, and he was just being peaceful and thinking about the case.

     Then his vehicle stopped due to the jeep blocking the road.

     There were several explosions, and seeing gigantic boulders hurtling towards him, he just started running, urging the driver to keep running as well. He got hit by some rocks, and at some point fell and lost consciousness. When he recovered, he was in the hospital. Though he is ok – injured mainly in a hand and knee, and some other minor wounds and scratches he is yet to recover from the shock. The driver was also injured but out of danger.

     He also says that he is sure that this was an attempt on his life. Considering that the police vehicle got punctured and the vehicle was blocked on the road on the same day – it was too much of a coincidence.

     The Inspector Ranganath [of all people] as if in full understanding of the situation clearly explains that CSP is feeling this way just because he is in shock, and this was just a matter of bad luck. And that actually this was a place used by a granite quarrying company and explosions were expected, and there was a detour marked for another route which had got missed.

     CSP anyway is convinced that his life is in danger.

     Someone wonders if the police could be involved in the conspiracy. [was that you Prasanna? 😉 ]

     Then CSP emphatically clarifies that the police were definitely above suspicion, the inspector involved was an honest officer, and had requested CSP to wait for a few minutes while the stepney gets fixed, but it was CSP’s own decision to carry on without him.

     Then the judge says that this is a very fragile case involving powerful people, and offers that CSP resides at the judge’s own residence at an outhouse, and to come to court and return home along with the judge.

     [A fleeting glimpse of Rane and Chabria show them to be a bit uncomfortable]

     The judge asks if SS has any objections. SS says that the judge’s credentials are impeccable and suspecting him of getting prejudiced would be very cheap of SS and he has absolutely no objections, and even welcomes the move. He says that CSP has hurt him and insulted him in court on several occasions. But acknowledges that CSP is a colorful person who fights for truth. And though every moment he wants to defeat CSP in the case, not even for a single moment did he wish for CSP to die. He feels that CSP is in shock and everyone should give him their moral support and this is a welcome move.

     The judge also orders a more detailed investigation of the accident.

     CSP expresses his deep gratitude to both the judge, as well as SS who is giving support inspite of all of CSP’s past courtroom cyncism.

     The judge asks him if he would start his cross-examination today. CSP replies that he’s a bit shaken, and also because the notes he’d prepared were in the van and are destroyed, he requests another days time for him to make them again, to which the judge agrees.

529. hi Kumar looks like we wrote this at more or less the same time 🙂 – anyway I could get a more complete picture after reading your post.

     One thing TNS’ acting while narrating to the judge inspite of all the difficulties was excellent. Still I feel it could’ve been better in a way – the moving of his injured hand and then expressing the pain was not exactly in sync in my opinion. Just a minor detail but otherwise, the whole thing – just the 15 minutes that I watched alone, was simply brilliant – priceless, as Kumar has put it 🙂

530. Now that TNS, is out of danger, I am eagerly waiting for CSP cross-examining Raane!!!

531. Thank you, Sanjay and Kumar for the updates! Chhe.. I missed an important episode 🙂
     Glad CSP is safe and sound. And this is one area where I respect SS. He seems to be genuinely concerned about the safety of CSP.

532. great to see a site with so many fans for muktha all meeting at one platform. great work yaar anybody having the title track of muktha please put it on the website.there r no more words left to appreciate it i think all the words would have been used,it is simply great…..Anyways Hello to everybody.

533. This is for amrutha,I have a request to you amrutha can u please make a presentation about CSP cross examining rane this time,I surely dont want to miss it.
     Regards,
     Pradeep.

534. Hi friends,

     Iam also one among who missed the friday’s episode. i was on my way to my native. There is one Jalakanteshwara temple in Bangalore-Mysore road which is located on right side when going from bangalore. It comes after Chennapatna. Friday’s update given by Kumar and Sanjay is great.

535. What i liked about the Friday’s episode was that even though SS is snubbed by CSP, still the love that SS has towards CSP might be both Professionally and personally was really fantastic. ( no Conspriracy Sanjay anna now : D ) .

     The Dialog Nanu CSP ge maryade kododu yaake andre avaru Satya kaagi Horaduthare. This really moved me.

     Also on friday Rane was not present in the court.

536. Hi all… I’m back here after a long time.. Did u people notice the absence of SM in the court, during Friday’s episode?? Very interestingly significant…don’t u think???

537. The Dialog Nanu CSP ge maryade kododu yaake andre avaru Satya kaagi Horaduthare.

     This dialouge of SS shows that SS knows the truth and this also proves that he concedes that he is fighting the wrong case for wrong people. The judge can take a cue from this statement of SS. Since SS knows the truth, conciously he may have made this statement that CSP is fighting for the truth.

     Meanwhile yesterday’s samvada was very good.

538. Yeah the samvada was very good..

     I had one question to all of you …. In most of his samvada’s and even in yesterday’s TNS directly/indirectly says that he is against the multi-national setups ….

     Even in yesterday’s samvada he said ” Bengalooralli jana 1 lakh , 1-1/2 lakh salary per month salary togotha irabahudu …multi-national companies indagi ..adare bellary antha oorugalalli adarinda enu problems agide annodu thilidukollabeku” may not be the exact words something like that .

     I have always wondered why TNS is against multinational companies being setup in India/Bangalore …

     Do you people think nothing has changed for the better because of multinational companies being setup here.

     Any thoughts ….

539. I was not aware that there was Mukta Samvada yesterday, I missed it. I feel what TNS meant was everyone are just jumping into the s/w companies leaving the other fields like agriculture, Teacher, journalism, also rejecting the famous Steel Plant.

     I think DIYA is the right person who could Answer it 😀

540. Anitha, it’s a well documented certainity that there are 2 sides to every coin (except the Sholay one!!)…And also, the grass is always greener on the other side… One would definitely be lying if one says that the advent of MNC’s has been of no use..It’s definitely true that they have changed a lot of things for the better…but most of these changes are materialistic…The traditions and customs are being reinvented by the people who work there to suit their needs, and the companies are blamed en-masse… After all an MNC firm is as it’s employees are…It’s up to us – the people who are employed in such places, to develop more positives and project them on the society.. Many personalities have of late begun the trend of MNC bashing in various guises.. It may be due to their real concern for the causes they espouse or just to be the first on a new bandwagon.. And the people also expect certain celebrities to behave in certain ways… Avara screen athava public persona ge anugunavadante… So all in all, I personally feel that TNS is against the values which MNC employees feel they should embrace, rather than the companies themselves.. After all, u said that he mentioned that one should be aware of the problems these companies are giving rise to… Another call for social awakening and accepting social responsibilities, don’t u feel?? The youth of today are quite tolerant in their attitude when it comes to such issues… Maybe, TNS wants these issues to have more nearer a relation with the thinking youth so that the city-town divide which has cropped up of late is lessened..

     Prasanna, thanx 🙂 for being so eager to hear my views… And Shruthi, looks like u’ve yet another title…”Heroine of this site” or something to that effect, right??? CONGRATS Shruthi… 🙂

541. HI… Can someone mention here when the samvada would be aired?? I missed it y’day as I did’nt know about it being aired…Plz…

542. Diya,

     The samvada is usually aired on Sunday’s 7PM.

     Long ago I had mentioned in this blog that I, kind of oppose TNS’ statements against the MNC and globalisation.

     I don’t understand the exact reason he thinks that these MNC’s are harming our culture, people and country. I dont see how MNCs are causing so much harm, may be I am ignorant. I can only see that globalisation is the trend world over and helps improve the economies of both parties involved.

     Chaitanya

543. Diya , Thanks a lot for providing yet another perspective.
     If the present day youth , who are working with MNC’s and earning huge salaries are changing their life style (which may not be in sync with our culture ) … then I am not sure why we should be blaming the MNC for that …

     But I don’t think that TNS complains about the people working in MNCs . He targets the MNC companies itself. He tries to say that Big giants have swallowed the small set-ups. Kind of ….
     As Chaitanya has said , even I feel it has improved the
     economies to a large extent. More job opportunities are opening up not just directly with the MNC but indirectly also (like city taxies, security services, house keeping force , many small scale vendors etc etc …)

     So, I was trying to see if somebody has understood TNS’s perspective ….

544. Yes Chaitanya, I also conflict this thinking of TNS against MNC’s.

     One should understand that MNC’s has given a new lease of life for the young educated Indian’s like most of us here. Can any one expect the government to provide a job to all the educated youth in India? I believe the politicians are too busy in making there own wealth rather than looking at the citizens.
     Then, we have this wretched reservation policy which I personally believe is a curse to India and is one of the main reason for India still beine a developing country.
     When, the govt can get crores of rupees as tax from the IT industry, god knows what is bothering them. Also govt and people (including TNS. who are opposing MNC’s) should realise that, MNC’s have improved the standard of living of an ordinary Indian. Now an ordinary Indian can dream of buying things which he/she was not even able to think of buying and lead a good life. Ofcourse, the cost of living has increased and one cannot complain because, this is how it is. This shows the economy of country is good and people are happy.
     For how many young graduates, has the govt offered a job? or even can they think of it? They are busy playing vote bank politics just for the lust of power.
     Globalisation is the way of the world now. India is globally recognised now, because of it IT prowess and talend of people in India.
     It is ridiculious that people are criticising MNC’s.
     Govt will get tax to the tunes of crores of rupees, which they can use to improve the infrastructure, improve the life of the deprived (if the govt and people are so worried about them).
     Fact is, govt is not having a share in the money of these MNC’s, apart from tax.
     China is using the money collected as tax from the IT companies to improve its infrastructure and the life of the people there.
     It is really the uneducated mentality of the govt in India and the inability of some people to think beyond protest against MNC’s and globalisation, that is causing problems here.
     As, CFO of Infy had once mentioned that India is the only country which is against the companies who are creating jobs for the youth of India and making Indians wealthier.

     We also should be blamed for the setup because, the politicians who are ruling India and our state are the one’s who were voted by us (Though I was unable to vote last time around as my name was not in the list :-))

     People should realise the importance of MNC’s and globalisation and should respect them and help them to do business in Karnataka and India.

545. Also, I am wondering that if there is a way to convince the MNC’s to do business in Karnataka and India and not to vacate the place, as people and some govt officials are criticising them. We should convince them people like us are with them to set up and do the business here.
     Any ideas ?
     These days, people and some govt are speaking against MNC’s and we have a feeling that they are taking it seriously.

546. Going by Anitha’s statement it doesnt seem TNS is blaming MNC, but he is only against a few of the fishes ( sorry to all the IT enggs) who are spoiling the water.

     I remember about the Episodes when he was covering the Topi Sheshappa’a issue wherein he quizzes many people including the executives ( from MNCs) who are paid high salaries and are living and spending lavishly.

     So i personally feel he is against those people living a life not knowing where to spend.

     I’m in Sync with what Diya is saying .

547. Anitha u’re right… No notable person can blame the attitudes of the individuals who make up the work force of any organization..After all, they are the “junta”..So the easy way is to blame the organization, an entity, after all which cannot defend itself..As Chaitanya mentioned, globalization is the trend everywhere..But, that does’nt mean that no exploitation goes on…Even in our own companies we see the disparity in the salaries..For the US client, it’s peanuts what he pays his Indian work force.. That apart, Chaitanya the econimies are definitely being improved..But of the metros only.. It’s upto the govt to use the revenue for the developement of towns and villages, which unfortunately is not happening..Instead of looking at their own failings, those in power blame the giants around..And in the battle of David and Goliath, the sympathy of the common man lies with whom ever he percieves to be the “David”, of the fight..

     And Anitha, maybe the perspective with which TNS is approaching this issue is that he wants the MNC’s to step into the heart of the country…the small towns which are forever on the outside edge…always looking in from the periphery.. I don’t think I would be exaggerating if I said that MNC’s have improved more of our infrastructure (at least in B’lore), than our “elected representatives”…

548. *************
     And Anitha, maybe the perspective with which TNS is approaching this issue is that he wants the MNC’s to step into the heart of the country…the small towns which are forever on the outside edge…
     *****************

     I am trying to think about this …. I feel MNCs might not have gone to the villages/small towns … but definitely because of these companies lot of job opportunities have opened up (as I mentioned in my previous post) and people from small towns/villages are coming to Bangalore and making use of it. Which in turn have helped to improve their lifestyles…

     Also,
     During Tsunami incident (and in similar other incidents) , I know for sure that lot of MNCs contributed a lot …

549. Interesting conversation going on here!

     I did not know that TNS had anything against the MNCs.. Don’t know in what perspective he talks about it, but like Diya very aptly says, there are two sides to every coin except the Sholay coin 😉 – Heh heh heh!

     As for MNCs moving into smaller towns and cities.. its not that easy. They might get land at low rates.. but what about communication facilities, and airport facilities, etc.? So thats the reason they always look for bigger places. Someone once said, “MNC hogi small town nalli office start maadali, automatically yella facilities baratthe.” Aadre, my argument is, in the first place, why will an MNC go and pour so much money in a small town? What is the guarantee that it will get returns on its money? Thats why the tend to have offices either in big cities, or in cities close to big cities (for example, Mysore).

     See Diya, yaaru nanna potential discover maade iralilla, here at last I am recognized as the “heroine” ;)))

550. In yesterday’s Muktha samvaada someone quoted “behind every succesful man there is a woman” and someone else referring to the character in the serial commented that the reverse also could be true “behind a successful woman there is a man” – to which Ravi Belegere suddenly stepped up to the mike and joked “whether a woman is succesful or not, we men will be behind her anyway!”

     This time the samvaada was really cool, I’ll try to recall more comments after I go home.

     —-

     Hmm about MNCs even I’m not very clear about TNS’ stand on it… I started writing something here but decided to make it a seperate post 🙂

551. Pingback: Sanjay Mysoremutt ಸಂಜಯ » Blog Archive » good bad and ugly about mncs?

552. Hi all…I have been following the comments on this site for quite sometime as I can watch Muktha only when I am home for vacation. Truly a wonderful place for people like me to keep in touch with the serial. Now I have stopped bugging my mom to tell me the current story whenever I call her:D
     But I don’t agree with one common thread in TNS’ cases – that of MNC bashing. If he wants to bash private companies, then he needs to generalize and not point at MNCs in particular. MNCs are not saints but neither are Indian companies for that matter. Ultimately a company’s behaviour is decided by the regulatory environment in which it operates. If it is strong, then the company cannot do much about it. There have been MNCs which have done extremely well in India and behaved in a very ethical manner. There have been instances where they have refused to pay bribes in order to secure deals. And then you also have MNCs that have behaved unethically. So it is wrong to paint all MNCs with the same brush.
     I did not watch the Samvada but this dialogue in one of the comments caught my attention:
     TNS: “Bengalooralli jana 1 lakh , 1-1/2 lakh salary per month salary togotha irabahudu …multi-national companies indagi ..adare bellary antha oorugalalli adarinda enu problems agide annodu thilidukollabeku”
     I don’t get as to what problems that people in places in Bellary will face because of rising cost of living in Bangalore. Does he mean that people migrating to Bangalore from Bellary will have to live in urban slums because they won’t be able to afford the high living costs? MNCs, especially the service sector ones, came to India because of its low labour costs but now because of demand-supply gaps, they are forced to increase salaries to retain employees. Even Indian companies are facing the same issues. Isn’t the govt. to blame here for not making more people employable rather than blaming companies because they are not not in a position to change the labour market dynamics. Maybe TNS needs to ponder about some of these issues before painting everything non-Indian with a broad socialist brush.

553. TNS. Against MNC. Culture. Digital divide. Huh! huh! huh!

     Let us agree that there is a digital divide between Indian metros and non metro cities, villages etc.

     But what enabled the digital divide? Is it the MNC? Our Governement? Our policies? It is a cob-web of problems. We are reaping what we had sowed!

     Every person involved in commercial arts, like journalist, media directors, heros, writers, Social workers have found a niche target which does not bother to respond. and that target is MNC!

     TNS should think of why and how MNCs involve in building the digital divide and create cultural shock.

     IT & ITES sectors have shown that wealth can be shared. let us appreciate it. MNC are capitalist by nature. Make policies to help MNC’s to migrate to socialist views if you want radical changes.

     We had so many ‘Buddhi Jeevis’ having problems with MNC’s. I remember a leading journalist from Bangalore wrote.. He will take up Quit … MNC movement. No idea where he has quit to? TNS is joining that group.

     Having said that, I am not advocating that MNC’s are the right fit for the society and MNC’s are helping india. We have problems, solve them after analysis. Dont air your opinion when ever you get a microphone.

     Regards
     Girish Hampali

554. This discussion about MNC’s is really interesting.Well i think there is some “Swartha”(selfishness) in all human beings,there r many incidences of this in the epics ramayana and mahabharatha.Well i came to USA for a better life style than what my parents had back home.In no way i can earn this salary back home,even if i join an infosys that salary can never be equivalent to what i earn here in USA.It doesnt mean that i am bothered only about myself and money.I take my time off whenever and whereever i can for social causes.

     TNS made the serial “Muktha” primarily for revenue or money.Then comes social awareness.And there is nothing wrong in that in my opinion.He doesnt take lawyer fees in the serial,that doesnt mean that he doesnt take any money from the advertisers or the channel or any concerned people related to muktha.I know this contradicts to some of u guys in the blog.But try to put urself in TNS shoes even we would have done the same thing.So in this manner i think TNS shouldnt completely oppose MNC’s and their influence to indian economy.

     Ofcourse there should be a limit to everything,the progress shouldnt hinder other areas like agricultural development and so on.This growth in IT sector should mix and match with others.So maybe TNS should try to emphasize this in my opinion rather than complete opposition.

     Friends forgive me if i have done any “adhika prasangi” in this regard.If anyone wants to write to me or suggest me something ur welcome to write at pradeep6422003@yahoo.com.

555. CSP goes to Usha Gopinath’s house. He sees her photo hanging on the wall. He talks to her mother and sister Uma, while Mr Gopinath is finishing his puje. Usha’s mother, with tears in her eyes, speaks about Usha and how good she was ( I did not catch some of Usha’s mother’s words due to temporary poor reception. If she said anything important, please add to the update). Uma says that it was her birthday on the day she died. The mother says that after Usha died, Gopinath never did any puje, but for the last six months, he is doing puje very regularly. CSP asks why that is. She says that Uma also wants to study in the same field and continue Usha’s research. She has applied to Tata institute and various institutes. But Gopinath feels that she will also be taken away from them, and so is asking her to stop studying and get married. He feels that she will also me murdered, and that too both girls are same Nakshatra and same Raashi. Uma says, idu moodhanambike allva sir?
     Then they stop talking when Gopinath comes out after puje. He also complains about Uma, but CSP says, Chhe chhe what are you saying, do all the ppl doing research get killed? Then there would not have been any advance in science. Don’t stop her, let her do what she wishes. Then he says, want to learn as much as possible about Usha and her work and how she knew Chhabria. Also, I came to tell you that you have to come as defence witness and speak in court. Gopinath agrees. Then he says, I had collected info about the research from her guide in Calcutta, but i am not a science student and so could not understand much, plus had no time. so i want you to explain it to me. I
     Uma speaks about Usha’s research. She says that Usha had noticed that the tribals living in a particular area had no health and heart ailments and lived to be 90-100. and that was the place wehre Kempusanjeevini soppu grew, and nowhere else in the world. So she researched it and extracted the alkaloid from it, and called it UGK3. CSP says, ok, enough for now.
     They take out the albums of Usha and start seeing it. Usha collecting first prize for science quiz, getting 3rd rank in PU, gold medal in University, Usha sitting with a tamboori and singing. Mother says that on her bday, she had sung Deepavu Ninnade, Gaaliyu ninnade, and she had left, saying she would be back soon, but she never came back.
     CSP also has tears in his eyes. He said, had Chhabria come here to the house? Mother says, yes, he had come twice with Chandrakant Pavate. Once he had come offering 5 lakhs for her research paper, but she absolutely refused. Next time, he had come saying, please take back the objection you have raised, and I will give you ten lakhs. Then also she refused. And he became very angry. Just one week after that, she died. She was only 24.
     [I am not aware of what this “objection” is, can anybody enlighten me, please?]

     Police Station. The policeman(CSP’s shishya) interrogating the guy who had parked the van in the middle of the road.
     Police – whats ur name?
     Guy – Shivalingu.
     Police – what do u do?
     SL – driver
     P- do u own a vehicle?
     SL – i did, but it got crushed under boulders in the quarry blast.
     P- blue tata sumo?
     SL – yes.
     P – why had u parked the car there?
     SL – puncture aagitthu, reperi maadtha idde, felt like drinking tea, so left i and went and had tea.
     P – so you left it in the middle of the road and went? how can u do that?
     SL – road very rarely used. dangerous coz of quarrying. so all vehicles take bypass. so i thought it was ok.
     P – so are u sure this is your car number? ka15 – p7005 (i think) navilukoppa registration
     SL – yes.
     P – but the vehicle with this license plate is not a blue tata sumo. you are lying. this is some other car.
     SL – no sir.
     P gives him a tight slap.
     P – i have noted the chassis number of both the cars registered as ka15- p005, and the one seized from the accident scene. They are different. This blue tata sumo had once been taken in for scrap after being seized for sandalwood smuggling. now you are using it for murder
     SL – ayyo, i dont know anything about murder sir, devaranegu.
     P – then why did u do this?
     SL – nija helbidthini sir, I was in need of money as my daughter’s wedding has been fixed. Muthu came and told me that he would give me 1 lakh if I did this work. He asked me to put my vehicle registration on the vehicle which he gave me, and asked me to go and park it in a designated spot, take out the wheel, and go away from the spot. I got my doubts why so much money for such an easy task, but i needed money so i did it.
     P – lost in thought – ok, where can I find Muthu?
     End.

556. good news for all muktha fans !!!!!!

     Those who miss Muktha at 9 PM can catch the episode at 11PM, From yesterday Muktha is getting repeat telecasted again at 11 Pm on same day.
     We can enjoy CPS’s cross examinations twise,

557. Thanks so much Pratap for the title tracks of all TNS serials (Could not find MaleBillu title track though!). My desire to get this tracks onto my PC is finally fulfilled… thanks so much guys 🙂

558. Dear TNS sir,

     after seeing i always think that i would have been acting.

     though i don’t know acting but from childhood i wish to be an artist. howevermt parents are against it but sure if u giveme chance i will surely do atleast that should telecast one day. when i feelmore is that whenever i see muktha samvada evry sunday.

     really TNS sir if u offer me one chance to act in ur direction i will really be greatful to u.

     Thank u sir

     Veena

559. Thanx kumar for that info.

     Just for reconfirmation – Is it that serial is going to be aired at 11 pm every day ?

560. yes it will be at 11 everyday. Actually it was ensuring people would go home by 9 PM 🙂 Anyway personally I prefer the 9 PM slot as I’d like to sleep by 11 (though I end up getting m stuck with some internetting 🙂 )

     Veena, good luck, hope you get a chance to work with TNS! I’m not very sure he’ll get your message here though, you’ll have to note down the address they put up at the end of Muktha and write to him there, or try writing to muktha at bhoomika dot net.

     Pradeep… wrt TNS made the serial “Muktha” primarily for revenue or money
     I agree it sounds logical. But it brings to mind one note about last Sunday’s samvaada… someone questions him that CSP isn’t after money, nijajeevanadallu nimage duDDalli aasakthi ilva? Then TNS cribs “I told these people to filter out such questions” and then clarifies “amma, naavu adaralli maDuvudu kevala naTane ashTe”. And that was that. Suddenly Ravi Belegare steps up to the mike and testifies “naanu heLthini keLi, avaru nijajeevanadallu doDDige aasakti paDo manushralla” and then he adds “avara jothe seridare namagu duDDina aasakthi hoTToguthe!! 😀 ” The crowd response was fantastic, everyone was really roaring in laughter! (I’ve rarely seen such intimately interactive crowds on TV for any show)

     Some more comments about the samvaada… Ravi BeLegere comments that ‘naanu aDDadaari hiDididdaaga TNSavaru neenu maaDtirodu sariyalla antha heLi daarige tandaru’. And normally he would never have acted in any serial but since TNS had requested him, he came, thinking anyway all he would have to say was ‘ORDER ORDER’ 😉 but then ‘ashte saakaaglilla, avarannu baibeku, ivarnnu baibeku’

     Someone asks Ravi Belegere why he (as judge) keeps on admonishing CSP so much. Then he says inspite of all that scolding itself CSP is so cynical and tells so much of poetry and all that, ashTu control maaDdeidre, Muktha Crime Diary slot (10 PM) varegu yeLkond hoTToguthe! 😀

     One more thing about TNS – Ravi Belegare commented in one of the samvaadas – that while working on the set, once in a way TNS kelsa maaDabekdaadre sumne aLthairthaare – such is his intensity and involvement in his work! WOW

561. Hi!!!
     😛
     When Iget home, I’m going to write the character list, so keep coming on this site
     !!!!

     Vaidehi says hello 😛

     Have fun,
     keep 😛 !

562. Tuesday – March 7th – Update

     Policeman crossexamination of Muthu.
     P – So you are Muthu. What do u do?
     M- i have a small real estate business.
     P-why did u want to kill CSP?
     M – i don’t know anything about that.
     P-Shivalingu told me everything, that u gave him money to keep the van in the middle of the road. See, if you don’t tell me yourself, i know how to make you speak. i also know how to make you permanently silent also. If you speak up now, your punishment will be lessened. else, all of you will be in trouble.
     M – ok, i will tell you. I dont know anything. I was told to make sure the police would not be with CSP on one particular day. so i punctured the front tyre when the police had gone for breakfast. i was also told to get someone to block the road.. and i did that. nange vahisida kelasa maadide ashte, nange innenu gotthilla.
     P -who told u to do this?
     M – Jagan. We call him Bhaiyya.
     P (gets lost in thought).

     Supriya goes to Manmohan’s house, but he is not there. She tells Indira that he had asked her to come there, and no use in calling, coz phone will be switched off. She feels bad, she says, he does not take me out anywhere, and only when i force him, he agrees. He never suggests it hmself. Indira says, no, he is like that, avanige yenu gotthagalla. Supriya says, your son is not as stupid as u think. the only thing is that he does not want to marry me. Arundhati is still in his mind. She goes away. [For a change, Indira tumba geluvaagidru].

     Court scene.
     CSP gives a long lecture, saying that the next three witnesses, i.e. CP. Rane and Chhabria have to be questioned about Usha G’s case, as it is highly relevant. He gives example of a supreme court case, which had a similar situation, and SS himself was a petitioner in that case. So he requests the court to allow him to talk about UG’s case as much as he wants, and he requests SS not to raise any objections of irrelevance.
     He starts cross examination again.
     CSP – on sept 23, 2002, you met UG, took her with Chhabria in your car, to discuss about research, but then you had some differences, and you killed her, and then threw her from top of Sudukoppa shopping complex.
     CP -sullu, sullu (sweats).
     CSP- did u meet her on that day or not?
     CP – no. . she and mukund bhagwat had an affair, probably she was upset about something, and so she killed herself.
     CSP – so did u not take her there in your car?
     CP – no, there is no connection between me and UG’s murder.
     CSP – MURDER??
     CP sweats, Rane, chhabria, everybody disturbed.
     CP – i mean, suicide.
     CSP – your honour, u should notice the demeanour of the witness. everytime i talk about UG, he starts sweating. it definitely means something.
     CSP – ok where wre u on that day?
     CP- i dont remember.
     CSP – naanu gnapisthini.. you had taken a room in agricultural university guest house registered as a vip, and the next room was taken by chhabria, registered as a vvip.
     (he shows the documents) you also say that you did not take UG in your car. But there are many police checkposts in that area, and they note every car travelling and the passengers. on that day, your car, had three passengers, and see, names are also written. You, chhabria and UG.
     CP – silent, disturbed.
     End.

563. Hi! Had to post the update in two parts, coz of the same “held for moderation” problem. Sanjay, please delete those held for moderation! Thanks 🙂

     And Thanks for the update on the Samvada! Wow, I enjoyed reading it! I did not watch it, but it seems to have been very entertaining! Should remember to watch it next time.

564. I saw the advertisements that the next Samvada is going to happen in Bombay (It seems for the first time outside karnataka). Date is not yet announced.

565. Watching Muktha at 11PM slot is cool! No commercial advertisements (only ETV serial ads) and the complete title song is also telecasted! 🙂 Off late I was getting struck at office work and I had to rush on my bike to get in front of the TV set within 9! Now that they are re-telecasting everyday at 11, it is really helpful for me and Muktha fans like me 😉

566. I watched the muktha in 2nd Show. I used to rush home everyday thinking i would be missing muktha, now i can go home more relaxed and watch the 11pm show.

     Veena if TNS calls you to act in his serial you should recommend all our names or else atleast few people out here like Sanjay anna(Screen play, Director, Creative Director,Story) shruthi (heroine of this blog), Diya( Lady CSP who can do the job of Cop or lawyer ) and Murthy ( Rebel Star). 😀 😀 😀 😀

567. And what about Prasanna?? Comedian? 🙂 😀

568. This is to prasanna and shruthi.FRIENDS u forgot me i was the one who was responsible for giving the title “Heroine” to shruthi.So wouldnt u guys recommend me for a part in muktha???.If u really want to give me a part then give me nanjunda’s part because there is a lot of female fan following behind him.Ha Ha Ha.

569. Hi friends this is prajwal from US.Its nice to know that there is a blog for my favourite serial “MUKTHA”.Looks like lots happening in this blog.Thanks to pratap’s blog for providing the title song.Looking forward for muktha updates.
     Prajwal.

570. Shruthi, Prasanna won’t be the comedian but the casting director…. 🙂 !!!

571. Samvada in Mumbai would be on 12th March in Mysore Association Hall in Matunga.

572. Good all technicians and leads are chosen for OUR muktha!
     Amruta and me will pen the title song and probably sing it too… 🙂 🙂

     Any good role for Mr.PJ?? Rane or Chabria wouldn’t be bad I guess 😉

     Chaitanya

573. Thanks Shruthi for making me comedian and not putting me in shoes of cast like Jai jagadish

574. ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ,

     ಮುಕ್ತ ಧಾರವಾಹಿಯ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಮತ್ತು ದೈನಂದಿಕ ಕಾರ್ಯಚರಣೆಯನ್ನು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ವೀಕ್ಷಿಸಿ ಬಹಳ ಸಂತೋಶವಾಯಿತು. ಈ ರೆತಿ ಅಪ್ಡೇಟ್ಸ್ ಹಾಕುತ್ತಿರುವವರೆಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಬಹಳ ದನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು

575. A brief update of Muktha – Wednesday.

     CSP proves that MP sent a notice to CP asking him to meet her in the station, in connection with UG’s death, on Oct 28th. CP promptly took leave for 2 days and disappeared. On Oct 29th, Rane sent a letter to home minister asking for MP’s transfer from Sudukoppa. The transfer was completed on Oct 30th. This was all done because they knew that if MP continued investigation, they would get into trouble, and so they wanted her out. But MP got a stay order on Nov 5th. so these ppl had to look for some other way to stop her, and this was the origin of the huge plan to murder both AM (for Rane’s gain) and MP.

     CSP proves that the Jalakanteshwara teru, if celebrated as per the Hindu calendar, as was always done, should have been on Dec 24th that year. They could have done the vajrada kavacha todisodu then itself. But Rane and Chhabria were in a hurry. They wanted to finish off AM and MP asap, because the elections were near, and because MP was continuing with investigation. So they made use of the provision given by the temple authority, that they could pay 51,000 rupees and have a private teru, whenever they want. This is proved by documents.

     CSP next proves that CP was not much of an academician. He got into the agri univ thro influence, became HOD thro influence, and spent most of his time servicing politicians. He hardly spent time for classes, and indulged in catering contracts, chappra contracts, etc, for various politicians. He says that for Rane’s daughters namakarana, he even went to the extent of serving the ppl himself. He gives docs and paper reports proving all this.
     CP tries to threaten CSP that he will sue him for damaging his reputation, but he says, what will u damage, neevu avamana aaguvanthaha kelasa maadiddira, nimmanna heeyalisakke nange yaake avamaana aagbeku, and he shows all the docs.

     CSP asks CP about what UG was working on, but CP says he forgot. CSP says, she started working on Central Dogma Theory, what is it? CP says, difficult to explain in layman terms. CSP says, ok i will explain. its the study of the DNA and the effect it has on the functioning of the body, (he explains in detail). CP agrees. Then CSP says, she was studying on the effect of outside chemicals, and substances on the working of the DNA. she found that KS soppu seemd to be the reason for a certain tribe’s long life and good health, and wanted to research on that subject, and asked for funds, but CP said that it was out of scope for her phd, and refused the funds. CP says yes.
     Case continued tomorrow

576. There was a change in the structure of the wound or rather a scar on CSP forehead just above the right eye during yesterday’s episode. In the first two part, the scar was prominent and dark and was constant in shape. In the third part, the scar was lighter in color and also the shape of the scar was different than in the first two parts of the episode.
     Just an observation :-).
     May be an error by makeup man.

577. 😀 One observation by me 🙂 That scar is made my maroon nail polish 😀 – don’t ask me how I know that, but the other day, when they were showing his closeup when he was in UG’s house, I noticed it 🙂

578. I meant made BY maroon nailpolish.. typo! :O

579. ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ ಅರುಣವರಿಗೆ, ಸುಸ್ವಾಗತ… ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕನ್ನಡ cartoons ತುಂಬ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿದ್ದಾವೆ 🙂

     Missed this aberration in TNS’ scar myself, Murthy.

     Thanks (as always) Shruti, just a few points…

     neevu avamana aaguvanthaha kelasa maadiddira, nimmanna heeyalisakke nange yaake avamaana aagbeku, and he shows all the docs.

     Actually what I remember is he saying “neevu avamaana aaguvanthaha kelasa maadiddara nanage avamaana maaDuva hakkide rI!” And this is one time when the usually mild CSP speaks in a tough tone.

     …asked for funds, but CP said that it was out of scope for her phd, and refused the funds. CP says yes.

     After that CSP says “but she sponsored herself with her own funds and still continued the research”.

580. After that attempt to murder incident, CSP seems to be angry, and that is reflected in the way he cross-examined CP.
     But what Iam wondering is, is it really possible to get those many proofs/records against any evidence. I need the address of that detective agency 😉

     I like the way CSP/TNS argues his points, he expresses his thoughts clearly (and in sphasta Kannada) and in properly organized way. He even explains the technicalities in an understandable language. (I would like to develop this way of communicating!)

581. I think its toooooooo difficult task to get the same kind of scar in the form of makeups. The best option was ondu Ustara thogondu Keradu Gaaya madadu ( too Harsh CSP Sir 😀 )

582. Heloo,
     I’ve been reading all these comments, funny… 😛 LOL Chaitanya Anna, I will gladly sing it with you! 😉
     Great observation Sruthi Akka, Maroon Nail polish!!
     And great thinking, Rane or Chabbriya is a great role for P.J, (I knew I wouldn’t mention him ut i had to)

     At the moment, my mother is writing down the names of the characters from the list at the credits… so I’m waiting and getting VERY bored… adeve banda muktha… dooradindale jeevahinduthide…
     sorry, I’m listening to it, and I can’t get it out of my head!…

     You all are so lucky! At 11:00 pm there guess what time it is here? – 4:30 am -I’ll be sleeping.. 🙁

587. Hi all

     I regularly follow “muktha” serial , accidentally i came across this link while browsing information related to Kannada works and contributions. I was surprised and happy to learn the popularity “Muktha” has obtained and i felt even more happy when such a big crowd is there to appreciate good kannada contribution jobs. When i miss watching the episodes, i now promptly come back to this link for the update, thanx a ton shruthi for lovely (crisp and clear)updates.

588. Shruthi, what you guessed is correct. Shivakrishna Murthy and TNS are brothers in real life. Shivakrishna murthy stays in Malleswaram . Also the role played by Dr.Kiran Das ( Krishnamurthy) is called as Kittu and he stays at S.P.Extn Malleswaram

589. Its ‘ Divya Raghuram’ and not ‘Divya Raghavan’ – Gowri – Sitalakshmi’s Daughter

590. Oh wow! Hats off to Amruta and ‘mom’ Amruta for the tremendous work!

     The classification of characters has come out so neat, I am sure even TNS and his team would admire 🙂 Job Well Done and Thanks!

     Few corrections:
     I guess few of the wicked characters are missing, the gangsters etc.
     I know of ‘Shashikumar’ as ‘Navodkar’ the don!

     Chidananda ‘murthy’ v/s Chidananda ‘swamy’ confused! 😉

     Another thing is both Mailari Patil and Manmohan are also the Assistant directors (theres a team of them) and heard that they were forced by TNS and others to act!

600. As Sanjay said, Thursday’s episode was highly technical and detailed. I will try my best to do justice to the update, and of course, you are all there to correct me! 🙂

     CSP basically tracks the evolution of the discovery of the alkaloid in this episode.

     First he finds out that CP had been working at agri univ for 21000, and then took a job at Chhabria’s company for 79000 rupees per month.

     CSP describes the working of the heart, the effects of cholesterol on it, and the effects of the existing cures for it. [This was far too detailed for me to repeat here! ]. CSP shows the May 2002 issue of Current Science magazine, in which CP has published an article on miracle medicine, which he said that he himself had discovered. He had called it UGK2. He describes what effects the alkaloids he had extracted, have on the heart. He then takes out UG’s research paper, published in Feb 2002 itself, and reads out from it. She says she has extracted two alkaloids from KS soppu, and has called it UGK2. He then reads out the effects of the alkaloids, from that paper, and it is the same as the one CP had written about. CSP asks, aren’t these two the same? If this is not the same, tell me, CP, and i will apply for a patent for UG’s UGK2.

     He then says that Kantaraj Choudhury of Kolkata university was taken as an additional guide by UG. He has written an article for American Scientist magazine, March 2002 issue, talking about UG’s new discovery. So he proves that UG had already discovered it, and had submitted her paper in FEb 2002, but in April 2002, CP had returned it to her, saying its not enough information. And in May 2002, he had published the article claiming that he himself is the discoverer.

     CSP says, this is not the first time in the history of science that someone has taken credit for someone else’s discovery.. it has been happening all the time. Even WAtson and Crick, who discovered the DNA model, are supposed to have taken the work of the Frederiche (?), a young German girl, and shown it to the word as her own. Also, Frederiche was supposed to have committed suicide. There have been rumours about this. This seems to be the same case.

     CSP then says, in June 2002, UG had gone to some lawyers to put a case against CP for stealing her discovery. At that time itself, CP had applied for a patent. But UG had already entered her discovery in the Technical Knowledge Directory in Dec 2001 itself, and a patent cannot be taken for items in the TKD. So CP’s patent was to be rejected. [A patent has to satisfy three criteria – New, Useful, and non-obvious – and here, CP’s claim was new, useful, but it was not non-obvious becasue it was already in TDK, and the local tribals were already using it.].

     Then CSP asks, why did u name it UGK2? CP says, simply, some code word. So csp says, but UG named it so, because it stood for UG – usha gopinath, K – kempusanjeevini soppu, and 2 – for the two alkaloids extracted from it == UGK2. So you copied it directly!

     CSP then says, Divine drops is a bottling plant, but for their production, only X number of acres are enough. But the total area of Divine Drops factory is much, much more. And also CP, a scientist, has been working as a “manager” in that company. Why? So what CSP says is that behind the facade of a bottling company, there has been research going on in KS soppu.

     He says, other existing medicines are expensive and have to be taken very frequently. If this alkaloid is brought out as medicine, each tablet will cost only 1 rupee, and can be taken less frequently. it was a very great discovery. It would have meant 100 billion american dollars worth of business for Chhabria!!!
     So for all this, though you tried to persuade UG to join Chhabria’s company, she did not agree, and she had to be removed from the scene, thats why you took her to the university guest house and murdered her.

601. From now, it will be difficult for me to give the update for Friday’s episodes, due to various reasons. Please arrange to provide the Friday updates. I can continue for the other days. Thanks! 🙂

602. The Psychiatrist who appeared as a witness in the start of the trial (during 25dec05-01jan06 week) is a practicing Gynaecologist, I have seen her in ETV’s health related programs, donno what’s her name.

603. This is really a nice blog. Well done. Please keep it up.

     I stay in singapore, but no etv. Got addicted to this serial during my visit to bangalore. I searched a lot on the net, this is the only place where i can find and follow the story.

     Hope etv can start telecast via internet.

     Thanks for all of you, and i will follow the story everyday.

604. hi amruta,

     Great Job! Really wanted that. I am taking printout and keeping it.The casting is simply great .

     yesterday’s episode was just superb!!!

605. Regarding the discussion among anita and co. about the MNC bashing….

     While i agree common man’s life has improved, its also true that MNC’s are taking money out of india paying us peanuts. Another problem with this high salary is, while these ppl are able to afford, a common person with normal income will not be able to afford the commodities once that was in reach. (for eg: the real estate)

     While numerous factors need to be considered, everyone including politicians squarly blame only on MNC’s and MNC’s contribution to his problem is negligible.

     I can see lot of persons, who once were just spending their time without any job with beedis, are now moving around in car…. but still not doing anything!!!

     Regarding the culture being eroded due to MNC’s, i cannot accept it. Our media (TV,Movies etc.) have to take a larger share of blame than the few MNC’s.

     While the starting point of all the problems we are facing in India are the corrupt politicians, the root cause is “WE” all. We ourselves are to be blamed for all the inefficiancies we see.

606. Sanjay, Perspective andare DrishtiKona

607. Friends, came across this website today while browsing for some Kannada works in website. Liked the people’s interest in this wonderful serial by TNS and also the discussion about MNCs “spoiling” the good life of old Bangaloreans. Nice work Sanjay and all. I found a media where I can get update on the serial even though my bus reaches late from all the jams, all the way from ITPB to Padmanabha Nagara!

608. kannada word for perspective is dRuShTi. Usage would be nanna dRuShTiyalli meaning In my perspective.

609. This is the world of globalisation ane liberalisation. I don’t believe MNC’s are spoiling people or state. In turn it is imprving our economy and is giving numerous opportunities to young Indians.
     Recently kumaraswamy complained while talking about the advent of IT, that auto drivers are earning meagre amount compared to IT guys. When people are not there, to travel then how can the auto drivers earn money.
     People should think that, with the advent of IT companies, not only educated Indians are getting opportunities, but also other doors are open for many people.
     There is a saying “People often look at the closed doors so long that they will forget that opportunities are beckoning at the other door.”
     Our (certainly not) politicians should come out of there “Koopa Mandooka Nyaya”.
     When other countries are falling head over heals to invite MNC’s to invest in there country, ours is the only country I believe where people or rather politicians cannot forsee our country improving.

     Globalisation and Liberalisation are boon to India. We have to take advantage of this, instead of complaining.

610. Heloo 😀
     Ok, I have alot to reply to! 😛
     First of all,
     Thankyou to
     Shruthi Akka, Chaitanya Anna, Diya, Sanjay Anna and Kumar (Anna?) who commented on the character list. My mother’s name is Anasuya, and she and I wish to once again say:
     Much Obliged Your Honour!

     Avinash and Murthy, Thankyou for correcting whatever I dd wrong, one thing was a typo and the others was just, well I didn’t even know their names!

     To Pradeep, it’s my pleasure in giving you Nanjunda’s part!

     And Chaitanya Anna, thanks for adding that extra stuff and Sanjay Anna for correcting it! 😉

     If there’s anything like that ever to do again, plz tell me, coz I’m a person without a job unlike you guys and I get extremely bored easily (as you can see, I come her like every day 😉 )

     Well,
     In the character cast list, if we can remember the Bad guys then we can start a Bad Guy: section in it..
     ——–
     Speaking of which,
     DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE GUY THAT WAS INVOLOVED IN THE COLUMBIA COPPER COMPANY CASE? NOT S.P. VARNEKAR, BUT THE MAN.. sorry I’m not being very specific here!

     Anyway,
     That’s it for now!
     Have fun
     Keep 😛 !

611. I just thought I’d tell you, that I have something up my sleeve that I’ll be sending Sanjay anna soon!

612. Amrutha, one who was involved in columbia copper company case was Indrajit Choudhary. Is this the name you were looking for?

613. That was a sweet reply Amruta! Well for your ‘Much obliged your honour’ all I would say in typical Ravi Belegere style ‘Continue maadi’ 🙂 Eagerly waiting for the one you have mentioned 😉

     I tried posting this link yesterday but didn’t work due to some problems. Here it is :

Catch up at 11 pm if anyone of u have missed watching at 9 pm ( Dont know why ETV has no publicised this re-telecast.

618. Today’s update:

     Suryavamshi, Rane and Chabria are having a tense discussion about the deterioration of their case by CSP. SS assures them that CSP is only doing a lot of guesswork and they’re still safe and there’s nothing to worry. They’re slightly relieved but then he adds that the same cannot be said about the UG case, chances for that are pretty slim. They become crestfallen again.

     Chabria says that it dosent matter even if he loses the case, but all his power and prestige in life has been due to UGK2, and this is his primary concern. Then SS suggests that there’s only one way to save their skins, and that is to try and settle the case out of court. Chabria says that there is no way Shivakrishna Desai is going to agree but then SS says that if its said in the right way, he will.

     ——

     Manmohan’s mother Indira comes and meets Arunadhati. She reminds Arundhati of some incident long ago where she’d saved Arundhati, and Arundhati feels obligated to her. Then she tells her that Manmohan still wishes she would somehow agree to marry him over time, and has not been able to forget him. Then she says there’s only one way out – she wants Arundhati to get married to someone else as soon as possible. She requests Arundhati to excuse her for troubling her for her own selfishness but says she could not see any way out. Arundhati agrees to plan to find someone and get married as soon as possible, and Indiri is very happy and relieved shedding a tear of happiness. On her way out, she adds one more thing, that once Arundhati personally informs Manmohan about her marriage, it may be a bit hard for him, but it will help him in forgetting about her.

     —–

     SD sips a cup of coffee… and looks at his visitors – SS, Rane and Chabria. Rane speaks very highly of SD, and says deep down he knew that SD was innocent, and did not want him to suffer any more. Even now only SD is the favorite among the people. Since they were all part of the same party, why quarrel amongst themselves, lets just forget about it and settle the whole thing. Rane could become the CM and SD could become the Deputy CM.

     SD is surprised at this turnaround, and questions whether it is out of anukampa for him, or whether they are afraid that they’re losing the case.

     Then SS says in a tough tone that if he believes CSP that CSP is going to win the case, then he is done for. CSP has only done guesswork, but whatever he has proved so far amounts to nothing, bekaadre CSPavaranne kELi! SS is confident that everything will be dismantled at the time of argument. He adds that for sure SD will land up in jail if the case continues.

     Then Rane adds that if SD isn’t comfortable with being Deputy CM, he could even be the CM, and Rane would be deputy, and he’d be happy working under SD. [It looks like Rane is the nice guy and SS is the tough guy]. SS makes the choice very clear – choose between jail, and CM.

     SD looks thoughtful.

619. Since this happened, I found that Indian males in the age of 40 to 60 are the most prone to heart diseases leading to cardiac arrest! Because of our lifestyle – including eating and excercising (lack of it 😉 ) habits. Ya Prasanana, CSP’s explanation yesterday was really educational, to say the least! 🙂 More information can be found on the net for example BBC: Heart disease

620. Hello All,

     I was googling TNS and mukta and happened to come across this blog. Read a few of the replies. Have to say “chenagede”. Great. Have to ask one thing. Can anybody direct me to the poem list or a book which TNS as in CSP quotes in the serial. Some are very meaningful and would definetly make a interesting read. Let me know. Thanks

621. Hello All,

622. Hello!
     Omg, I have a great idea!!
     We can write a list of CSP’s quotes and up date it whenever they are new ones!! Amrut gave me the idesa, Since their is no book, or anything (that’s what i think anyway) Why don’t we just start one ourselves? Anyone that thinks something said in the show, (not only by CSP) or even something that’s already been said, just add it!

     Anyway,
     chabbriya is annoying me, and Suryavamshi is handling the problem well, I like Shart’s acting, and CSP’s, of course!!
     Anyway
     that’s all for now,
     have fun
     Keep 😛 !

624. Hey guys do u remember the cross examination of indrajit choudary?It was awsome probably one of the best scenes in the serial.Any chemical guys around here?I am not able to recollect the chemical name?was it ethanol or something like that i think.Guys i am disappointed nobody welcomed me to the blog except pradeep???I may be in US now but i am still a hardcore kannadiga.

625. Hi Prajwal, sanjay has made this blog open to all and we can walkin as an univited guest and become a part of this Family.

     Nimmanna yaaru sawal madodilla.

626. DEARSIR

     I AM HAPPY ABOUT THIS SERIAL IS MADE ME COMPLUSRY TO COME HOME IN TIME TO WATCH THIS TYPE FULLY EDUCATIONAL SERILA COMMON LIFE STORY I HOPE MOST OF OUR KANNADA PEOPLE WILL STUDY AND THINK ABOUT THIS IT WILL BE GOOD LESSON AND THEY CAN FIGHT FOR THERE AND THERE KIDS FUTURE I HOPE OUR GREAT KANNADA PRAJA WILL FALLOW

     THANKING YOU SIR

     YOUR LOVING FRIEND

627. Hi prawal… like Prasanna’s said you’re more than welcome here, this is an open forum… Just walk in or out whenever you like, feel at home (page) 😉 here and you can even welcome others yourself if you like 🙂 When there are a lot of posts sometimes some may get missed out, or people may sometimes read and appreciate but not have anything to say, so it dosen’t matter and is all part of the game 8) Hmm btw sorry I cant recollect the name of that chemical – it did sound like ethanol but I doubt it. Maybe some googling would help.

     ದೃಷ್ಟಿಕೋಣ (dRuShTikONa = perspective) was the word I was looking for, thanks guys! 🙂

628. Prajwal i think the name of the chemical was lethanon.Yes truely that was the best crossexamination i ever saw.I just googled lethanon and found out that its one of the raw material in developing nuclear weapons.So we r not only throwing light on social issues,we r learning a lot about science too.Amruta where is ur presentation??Please update ur presentation about the crossexamination.

     Friends lets all meet sometime during this summer and have a muktha samvada with some bisibelebath.I am planning to come to bangalore this summer so maybe we will have a gettogether sometime during may.Hopefully shruthi and amrutha will be cooking bisibelebath for us that day.Ha Ha Ha.

629. Pradeep the chemical was “lethanol”..not lethanon… It might’ve been a typo on u’r part… Well I heard that TNS will be completing the serial in another 15 episodes…Is it true?? Does anyone have any additional info on this??

630. I cant understand why Aru is acting funny. When indira comes and asks her if she loved mano she should have said yes and stopped shedding tears. I think she is not decisive about who her partner should be. What Indira Arunachalamurthy said was correct either marry him or get out of his life. I support indira

631. I suggest that TNS should dedicate one day’s episode to Aru & Manmohan and finish their story (That day we can all plan to take a break from seeing muktha 🙂 )…

     Dragging the same story day after day is really irritating ..This is not expected out of a director like TNS.

632. Any anticipation of today’s episode of Muktha? Will Shivakrishna Desai saahebru accept the offer of Rane and others? I can see a clear NO…And as Prasanna says Arundharti is acting stupid. May be her character represents the “dwandva manassu” of any person..

633. I totally agree with all of you who are bugged of Aru’s story.. Can’t TNS give some kind of an end to her tale?? The viewers want “mukthi” from her never ending saga… I really see no point in dragging it for so long… And can someone plz tell me why her character is one of the only ones i’ve come across in his serials, as a regressing one??

     As for today’s episode, is it really so easy for SKD to emphatically say no?? SS is after all more reputed a lawyer with more convictions to his name…His words are very convincing to a layman…Also, Rane and co have already planted enough evidences and false trails, and can do so more convincingly with SS’s help… I wonder if SKD will say no outright…!!

634. I concur with Diya’s words that SS speaks quite convincingly, and that SKD can’t just say no so easily. My guess is that he’ll buy time and consult with CSP.

     Wrt Arundathi, I’ve seen a girl in her situation in real life. She was known for her decisiveness – that once she’s made a decision, she *never* changes it – even after situations change. Now on the one hand, this can be called as being decisive. On the other hand it can be called stubborn and inflexible 🙂 I guess Arundhathi may be having a hard time at drawing the line. I totally support Indira Arunachalamurthy’s approach as well – its much more clear cut. Yeah Anitha, maybe one full episode to resolve it will help give mukthi from her saga 😆

635. SKD has to say no since CSP had already told about the implications that would arise in closing the case in the middle. But Still anyone given this choice would agree to close the case and get away.

636. Aru’s position is like ” Akki mele preethi Nentara mele Aase.”

637. Prasanna, can u explain the meaning of the gaade?? Though CSP had explained the reasons for continuing with the case, this situation is different..At that time, it was his life which was in danger..Now, it’s the prosecution who want to close the case..So, they would definitely have to give some specific safeguards before the case can be formally withdrawn..And Sanjay, I don’t think Aru is decisive..It’s only her immaturity or false sense of high self worth which is making her behave the way she is.. If it were to be any other positive trait, she should have gone around with a smile, and not the sorry face as she does now… 🙂 Don’t u think so??

638. The gaade is in the earlier days one used to earn the food or livelyhood (akki) only by leaving their near and dear and staying away from them. So that time you would be definitely missing all nentaru. So a person could either get akki or nentaru never both.

639. Thanx Prasanna 🙂

640. Don’t waste your energy by trying to analyse Aru’s character …I don’t think even TNS has taken her so seriously …:) She is just a filler with no particular positive or negative trait… 🙂

     I think even TNS knows that Aru & Manmohan case is just a FILLER for the serial. Because somebody in the recent Samvada , asked TNS as to why he was delaying any decision on Aru & Manmohan… then TNS just laughed it off…

     I don’t think any particular weightage has been given to Aru or manmohan’s characters … sumne timepass…

641. aadre vikshakarige kai kalu mai yella parchothara aguthe!!!! Ashte vishaya.

642. Prasanna,

     I kind-of feel the ‘akki mele aase nentaru mele preethi’ has come from ‘you want to invite relatives/friends, but at the same time do not want to spend the rice (grains) for them’. Hence you can’t have both.

     May be, it has both origins, but means the same in the end, ‘you cant have the cake and eat it too’.

     Chaitanya

643. Chaitanya, i think i reversed the aase and preethi. This happens to me everytime with this gaade only .

644. Hi all!

     Yes, Chaitanya’s interpretation of the gaade is right, and yes, Aru is getting on my nerves 🙂

     But this message is to say that due to various reasons, I will not be able to continue giving the updates. 🙁 If the situation changes shortly, I will resume it. But meanwhile please pitch in and make sure that the updates are always up to date 😉

     I will not be regular to this blog also henceforth, but I will surely drop in once in a while!

     Have fun 🙂

645. Friends,
     Pradeep’s idea of organizing a meet for all this bloggers is a very good one. I think we should take this suggestion seriously to have a informal get to-gether. Please come out with your suggestions on how to go about it, along with a choice of venues.

     Regards,
     Ramesh.

646. Update – Monday’s episode…

     Part 1: SKD, MP and CSP are conferring regarding the offer to withdraw the case. MP is vehement in her refusal. She says that at no cost should we agree to take back the case. SKD also says that Rane “mukhastuthi” maadidru. I’ve no intention of agreeing to withdraw the case, says SKD. He also says that Rane will not be defeated, if he fights the election with SKD, as he (SKD) has a lot of political clout. He also lays before the other two the offer he was made regarding the CM’s post.. CSP then asks about the fate of MP, to which he says that she would be transferred as SP to the place of her choice, and would also be considered for a speedy promotion. Mp says that whatever tricks they try we should not agree to this. CSP then says that as per section 321 CrPC, the consent of the accused is not required to withdraw the case. It is the sole prerogative of the court in all discretion to do so. MP is unhappy. She then asks CSP his opinion.

647. yest’s episode was all about the withdrawing the case which the state has put on MP and SKD. Initially MP and SKD discuss this with CSP, CSP says that this was a nice chance to come out unharmed to their Character with SKD could become CM or DyCM and MP could getback her Uniform. Also under Section 321 prosecutor has full rights to withdraw the case whenever they choose to do so. CSP even says that 99.999999% the court favours withdrawl.

     In the court when SS pushes this opinion of withdrawl Judge is shocked and he argues that SS has to give valid reasons for the withdrawl. SS says that since prosecutor has chosen to withdraw the court has only to give the consent and cant decide on it. CSP argues that for 3 months their clients were made to suffer and when prosecutor felt that Rane and Chhabria were in trouble they felt it was safe for them to wash off their hand from the case.

     Judge makes it clear that SS has to provide all the reasons why they want to withdraw from the Case. Rest today……

648. Thanks Diya, Prasanna…
     [Diya, will wait for further parts]

     I liked yesterday’s episode a lot, it was really very involving. Shruti had warned me before about her possible unavailability [but was hoping it wouldnt actually happen 😉 – its like an anti-climax if the heroine suddenly dissappears!!] so didnt post an update myself.

     Btw whats mukhastuthi? lip sympathy?

     Yesterday there was a bit of poetry as well… (if someone can remember it pls post it) when CSP in part 1 of Diya’s update acts as the devil’s advocate trying to justify why they are much better off in agreeing to close the case.

649. Update contd:

     Part 2: CSP first lays out the pros of accepting the offer. He says that MP who’s an innocent victim will no longer have to eat from an aluminium plate, with those same thieves and murderers whom she put in jail, and sleep on an iron bed. Is it not an improvement over the present state of affairs, he asks.. He then says that SKD can contest the elections without any fear and also win.. He says that what would SKD and MP gain by convicting Rane and Chhabria??

     CSP: I may drag out a few cases in which Rane was involved. I may even prove his involvement in this AM case.. But, this court will not have the power to convict him. As for Chhabria, his empire may be shaken..But at the end of the day, more such rane’s and Chhabria’s will still remain.. Of what personal gain is it to you, if they are found guilty?? If on the other hand you accept their terms, you can be free MP from this hell..Does it not seem better?? And suppose we do decide to object to their petition, and suppose the case continues, then also I cannot assure you of winning.. The points which I’ve brought out till now, are small points which the very capable SS can easily counter.. It’s only my dramatising them which has made them seem bigger tham they actually are.. Don’t go by my dramatics..

     MP then says that even if the aluminium plate and iron bed are “khayam” for me, I don’t care. We should proceed with the case. And she also says that it’s very cynical to say that we would be doing no good in proving the guilt of Rane and co, as there would be more of them elsewhere.. SKD also says that though he may win the election and become the CM or Dy CM, he would always have to hang his head in shame in front of the people. He says CM post “sukhakke sari irabahudu, aadare aatmakke yaavagalu kashta”.. Mp asks why they are playing this game of sking for their consent if the law does not require them to do so.. SKD says that if RAne fights the election with SKD (who has political influence and also a very good image) and MP (who has public sympathy), by his side, and all of them are portrayed smiling and friendly, there is no way he can lose the elections. The cunning chap that he is, he must have considered all these factors before proposing to withdraw the case..

     Mp says that at no cost should they agree to this offer. CSP agrees and is about to leave when MP call him back and says sorry. CSP looks questioning, to which she says, “Sir, we never thought about you at all. If this case continues your life will be in great danger. We may have to face a prison term of 10 years or so after which we will come out, but you stand in danger of your life. The protection the judge has ordered cannot be relied upon..Have’nt we seen enough shootings in the court premises?? You should not lose your life in trying to save us..Your life is too precious and more neccessary than indicting a Rane or a Chhabria..So, let us agree to withdraw the case.. Let them do whatever they want and get lost..”

     CSp gives a half-smile and walks away…

650. Sanjay “mukhastuthi” means praising someone to their face, when all along both of them know that those words of praise are only to maintain a mask in front of others.. And it’s so true what u’ve said…Without the heroine, it’s no fun at all… I just read my post and am shocked at how bad it is.. PLz people don’t mind… Shruthi, plz plz plz plz come back 🙁 We find it really difficult without u… 🙁

     Can someone plz tell me if they want a more detailed version of the last part?? Or can u make do with prasanna’s concise version??

651. I missed out another interesting observation which SKD makes. He says that he has asked for a day’s time to think about the offer as it was not only his future which was tied up.. He says that for a politician it may become a cause to garner public sympathy after a stint in jail.. (Gandhiji style 🙂 After all he’s a great follower 🙂 ) …But, for an honest and upright officer, it’s not the same..

     I felt this to be a very apt comment 🙂 And as for the poetry bit which Sanjay mentioned, the language was way beyond my comprehension… I could only make out that it’s got something to do with how if MP and others don’t continue with the case at all, then there is no cause of concern to anyone…

     Mp also says that CSP has brought out unimaginable points in the UG case which has scared Chhabria..She also says that Rane was involved in 4-5 murder cases in as far as her knowledge was present..

     I’m sorry for this patchy and shoddy work… Sanjay, if Shruthi can’t make it, plz post the updates u’rself 🙂 Else, the number of people visiting u’r blog will dramatically fall 🙂

652. Diya, I think you were too good in answering the Essay type questions in School which used to carry around 9 marks. You can memorize the entire lesson word by word. So you are the best Choice to post the updates other than shruthi. Sanjay Anna what do you feel ???

653. Thanx Prasanna.. 🙂 But does that mean that I should post part 3??

654. Diya I think your update was pretty good 😉 Nothing that I can recall that you’ve missed in whatever you’ve covered in the 9 marks answer 😀 ! The fact that you’ve hardly made any spelling mistakes is pretty commendable as well! There is a good flow in the narration, ok maybe except a bit here and there – dosent matter – you yourself have recognised and mentioned it 🙂

     Apart from that, another room for improvement is that its run out of steam somewhere and dosen’t cover all the details till the end… but looks like you haven’t completed yet anyway 🙂

     I can only try to write updates at home (on the same night but not the next day). Because I write at night I straightaway write from beginning to end continuosly, then maybe review and edit – filling in more details here and there.

     But here are some suggestions more useful for time-bound writing:

     Consider how much time you have. Then write down the key points in bullets like an outline (like an artist draws an outline in pencil 😉 ). Then add the main details to each para. Even if you think of something else, take a decision whether the time for it is useful or not. If not, optionally just put it as a bullet mark and don’t follow it up – just stick to the current level of detail. Later if you’ve more time, you can go to the next level and so on.

     One more thing is that you can feel free to edit it and repost the same comment marking it in the beginning as a repost. Better do the editing in a local text editor and paste it into the post – sometimes if the website is down or the comment gets held up for moderation you may end up losing what you typed.

     I’m least worried about popularity of the blog increasing or reducing since thats definitely never been something in my control 😆 Note that I’ve already mentioned in the beginning (in bold) that this particular page isn’t “my” page 😀

     So if you get time and inclination – do your best. Anyway we’ll support you with corrections/more details 😀

655. Ramesh – I second you on that!

     haLLi mane of Malleswaram might not be a bad place.

     We might also consider meeting at the Kannada Wikipedia conference where apart from getting a good exposure to the speakers and press meet and so on (I’ve never been in one so far), could also find some quiet corner during lunchtime or after its over (for those who can’t make it for the whole day – we can arrange to meet them at 5 PM or so.

     Welcome,
     A press meet and a gathering of Kannada Wikipedians and all those who take interest in Kannada Wikipedia will be held on April 2, 2006 Sunday. There will be talks on how to use Unicode, how to enable it on your system to how to use and contribute to a Wiki. The event would be held in Bangalore. You’re welcome to participate in it and take part in what can probably be the best service to do for Kannada language to grow on the Internet.

     Please note:

     Registration is free.
     Why Register?

     Registering would help us arrange the event in a better way. There are also limited seat arrangments for the meet, so please register yourself.

     Venue: Nayana Auditorium, Kannada Bhavana, J C Road, Bangalore – 02
     Date: April 2, 2006 – Sunday
     Time: 4 PM to 8 PM

     I’m pretty sure that H.P. would’ve tried inviting TNS as well though its hard to make any guess whether he’d be able to make it or not…

656. I might just miss that event. I’m coming to Blr on 24th Mar to fulfill all my CL and Sick Leaves. I have a week’s time and starting back right on Apr 2nd back to Hyd.

     What Ramesh has suggested would be a good move and my sincere request is that pl schedule it between Mar 25 and Apr 1 .

657. Hmmm…
     The poem which CSP recited yesterday…

     Batta Bayalella gattiyadode swarga martya patalakke taavelli
     Male haniyella muttadode sapta sagarakke neerelli.

     Meaning…
     If everyone becomes good, then whats the meaning of life?
     World should contain MPs and SKDs as well as Ranes and Chabrias.

     – Srik

658. Hey Diya, your update is very good…. I also used to read my update every day and feel, Oh no, this is so bad! 😀 As long as it is clear and conveys the story properly, it doesn’t matter. Do not worry about spellings and grammar too much…. you will spend all your time on that itself, if you try to be perfect.
     Follow Sanjay’s tips… write the update depending on how much time you have. And big, big warning… Always type it elsewhere, in notepad or something, and only then, paste it in the comment space.

     Hey all, I hope to be back soon… but you never know! If I can, I will definitely take over the updates again, but looking at Diya’s update, I doubt if you will like mine after hers 😀 – hers is so detailed! More later!

659. Hey Sanjay,
     Thanks for the info on that WIKIpada conference.
     I’ll try to attend it, as I’ve never attended a press conference.

     – Srik.

660. Hi,
     I think most ppl wouldn’t find Aru’s story interesting because they’re too involved in the courtcase. 😀

     But then, maybe that’s just me, there are probably heaps of ppl that really don’t agree with what I’m saying and really TRULY dislike her story…
     😛

     WEll anyway, that’s all frm me,
     Have fun
     Keep 😛 !

661. Amrutha, what time do you watch Muktha
     daily ????

662. Thanx Sanjay and Shruthi…And Sanjay I did’nt cover the last part as the detailed version would become very technical..I felt that the concise version which Prasanna provided gave a clear picture regarding the happenings.. Well, this week I’m pretty free and will definitely try and take up the daunting challenge of filling Shruthi’s space 🙂 My only complaint with Shruthi is that this is too interesting a point in the proceedings for you to stay away from here 🙂 🙂 :)….

     Well thanx again to both Sanjay and Shruthi for their timely tips.. 🙂

663. hi all,

     i dont know if u all know…but mukta videos are available in Kannadatorrents.com…a dedicated bunch of people are doing a great job in reaching these serials and movies to digas abroad. if even a few of all the enthusiasts here can join hands with those people in recording mukta and uploading it on kannadatorrents.com, they will be very happy… please do your bit. thanks.

     also everyone pls chek out kannadaaudio.com/forum ….it is the best forum anywhere on the internet. there are nearly 10000 members and fast growing…it is the U.L.T.I.M.A.T.E timepass site…pls participate there…

     btw…immensely pleased with this blog…keep up the good work.
     thanks.

664. Ellarigu Namaskaaragalu,
     I had been out on a training for last two days, so could not take part in this forum.

     Arundhathi should go for a counselling. She is very indecisive in her decisions. Ofcourse, situations will make people indecisive.

     Learnt that the chemical names used in the columbia copper co’s case was hypothetical. Heard that, this was mentioned by TNS during one of the samvada.

665. Update – Tuesday’s episode.

     Part 1: Aru is very disturbed after Indira’s visit. Gowri asks her the reason for her unhappiness and is told about the reason for I’s visit. Aru confesses that she’s not able to accept the reality of having to stay away from Manmohan. Gowri’s attempts to convince her to accept him are refuted and Aru says that she’s already made a promise to I, that she would marry someone else. Gowri is disturbed that it’s always Aru who is made the scapegoat, for all the selfish reasons of both AM and his wife. Aru says that these thoughts are all academic, and that she’s going to convince the family to accept her decision to marry PK.

     Part 2: SS lays down 3 points as valid grounds for the govt decision to withdraw the case. He says that SKD is a respected leader and a Gandhian, and MP is an upright and honest officer who has been awarded the President’s medal too. He says that considering these aspects the govt has decided to withdraw the case against them. The next point is that the elections are approaching and the case has created confusion in the minds of the people. This has led to skirmishes which have affected the law and order situation. This kind of situation would prevent people from exercising a clear, uncoerced franchise. Also, many organizations are coming out in protest against the govt in this regard, as can be seen from the presence of some Raita Sangha members in the court premises. He also argues that it’s in the interest of the accused that the govt has taken this decision.

     CSP then argues – in a strong and almost angry tone – that this reasoning is a sham. He says that the decision has been taken only to protect the interests of Rane and Chhabria, which makes for vested interest in withdrawing the case. He has brought out many points to indicate the guilt of Rane and co. He also says that the honesty and integrity of the accused did not suddenly change over the past 3 months, and after having filed the case, “iddhakiddahaage hEge avarige eega gnaanodayavaayitu, your Honour?” And that is no reason to give consent. He emphasises that the case is being withdrawn for vested reasons, and hence the court should not agree to it.

     SS says that all of CSP’s points and evidences in the case so far had only been dramatisised, and that he can refute each of them during the time of argument. He also says that CSP should just agree to the offer and get his clients released.

     Part 3: The judge gives his ruling, with words nearly to this effect : “ The stand taken by CSP for countering the reasons given by the prosecution are not going to be considered. He talks about the merits of the case when he talks about Rane and Co’s guilt, which cannot be considered during a petition on section 321CrPC. But… on the other hand the reasons given by the govt “haasyaspada vaagidaave”.. It was always known that the accused were eminent in their respective fields and were well thought of. It is nothing new. Secondly, it has not come to the notice of the court that there have been any law and order problems as a result of this case. Even if there were, its the responsibility fo the government to handle it and cannot becoming an influencing factor in the court’s decision. Also, regarding elections, the case was filed after the dates were announced. So, it should have no bearing on the case and it’s outcome or vice-versa. All this goes to show the vested interests at play here. So, the court rejects the petition to withdraw the case, filed under section 321 CrPC.”

     Rane and Chhabria are crushed, SM has a little smile, SS is stoic, SKD and MP are happy, and CSP is shown bowing to the judge.

666. Hi all… U’re all free to please correct me if I’ve gone wrong anywhere.. And all suggestions for improvement are welcome..

     I don’t agree with Gowri’s statement that Aru is on the recieving end of the selfishness of MM’s family time and again. I feel that she has brought it on herself by her immaturity and poor judgement. But, anyways, if she does marry PK, at least her story will be brought to an end!!! 🙂

     And I’m sorry for posting the update so late.. 🙂

667. As the case is progressing they should have shown some activity on Sandhya Mangalavade’s side … They introduced her with big bang … as the most honest and disciplined officer. She is not doing anything even after some things are coming to lime light .. appears quite strange …

     Even if we think that there is a conspiracy between SS and SM .. atleast they should have shown that ..

     There should have been some scenes to indicate what is going on at her end…

668. Hi All,
     Thanks for these updates on this serial,,, this site has helped me a lot, it is as if I am watching the serial in fornt of me though I am in France…
     Thanks to every one for updating this daily.

     Ravi.

669. Anitha, if SM’s role is revealed now, there will not be any suspense at all..I feel it would be better to bring out her role in the proceedings at a later date..

670. Muktha gets an award as the Kannada’s best tele serial and our dear TNS, the best Teleserial director! No surprises I would say.

     http://thatskannada.oneindia.in/cine/kuteera/140306aryabhata.html

     And guess what, Rane sahebru (Nagaraj Murthy) gets the best Villain. Again I would say no surprises for he plays it so naturally! (being a real life politician helps, may be).

     Chaitanya

671. Hi all… I miy’day’s episode due to power cuts at both 9 and 11 PM… CAn someone please update the episode??

672. Hi all… I missed y’day’s episode due to power cuts at both 9 and 11 PM… Can someone please update the episode??

673. Hey everyone,
     haven’t come for awhile,
     Diya, your updates are really good!! I’d say just like Shruthi Akka’s…
     😛
     Well Prasanna, let’s see… the time zone gap, 5 and half hours diff. meaning India and Australia (Melb) India is behind…would mean, if Muktha is comig and 9:00 pm It would be coming here @ precisely 2:30 (i presume) so that’s not exactly a convenient time.. but we do have a VCR and a cassette for all the days where we record the programs from ETV because that’s the only Kannada channel we have so if you’re asking me what time I watch it, ………. I’d tell you around 6:30 in the morning before I go to school, you see, I’m REALLY impatient so I can’t wait until I get back from school, even though the cassette isn’t gonna go anywhere…

     So even though I have the choice of watching it peacefully at 4:30 I choose to watch my fave. program @ 6:30 in the morning, while I’m eating my brekky!

     😛

     So… ooh, my father is going to write out some vachana’s that CSP has said, it’ll be easy for us, because we are Lingayath’s and follow Basava Dharma 😉

     So hope to talk soon
     Have fun,
     Keep 😛 !

674. Sir, I am a Chennai based kannadiga. I watch Muktha daily even though it was not available on regular cable service here and I had to byy a set top Box for 4k to see ETV Kannada.
     I would like to correspond by mail with sri Ravi Belegere who plays the judge, a well known TV show host himself and also the editor of Hai Bengalooru magazine. Can anyone provide me the Email Id of sri Ravi belagere . Mail me at csn_61@yahoo.com.Thanks in advance
     Nagesh

675. Yesterday was really good, Rane got introduced for cross-examination! I’ll provide an update later this evening if possible but I hope someone can do it in the meantime! Chaitanya that’s great news… though it was no surprise I think its really great recognition! Rane definitely deserved the villain prize esp after his diabolical hypocricy yesterday. In fact yesterday there were many delicate moments in terms of subtle expressions and so on.

     Nagesh I’ll let you know if I find out his email id – meanwhile you can try writing to muktha at bhoomika dot net though so far I’ve never got any response from there 😛

     Yeah I’m quite curious about what SM is upto!

     Amruta, kind of missed you esp when even Shruti Akka wasnt around, great to see you again! Really looking forward to your dad’s writings of some vachanas!! 🙂 Btw I happen to be a Lingayath as well 😀 – in fact I’ve composed a post on one of his vachanas myself but nowadays I’m running short of time, and its still in Draft state, I’ll be posting it soon 🙂

676. muktha is an excellent serial

677. Thanx Amruta…And Sanjay, I doubt if I would be able to provide the updates regularly for the next 2 weeks… I may evenhave to miss watching Muktha 🙁 So, plz provide the updates..Then I won’t have to feel too bad on missing it..

679. Hey!
     Well, that’s interesting!
     Sanjay anna, I’ve sent you an e-mail — don’t forget to check it!
     And it’s important so do reply.

     Did anybody see the advertisement for MUKTHA? It was cool, T.N.S was a picture while rane talked and Rane was a picture while T.N.S talked Funnee.. 😛

     And at the end they both appeared with a bang!

     HAHA, I laughed so much, 😛
     We even recorded it onto a separate cassette!

     Well,
     see you l8r!
     Keep 😛 !

680. Hi again,
     Do any of you read Sudha?
     WE get it shipped here weekly, there are some interesting things said about MUKTHA in the T.V. double page,
     mostly the things are about the things that are weird in Muktha, or what ppl do’t like, normally i disagree with them, but I think I could put them on here, It would be good to talk and discuss about!

     Well, I’ll do ’em, later.
     Say, tomorrow, day after!

     Bye! 🙂 😛 😀 😉 have fun and keep 😛

681. Hello,
     Y’day it was good… full abt cross examine of Rane, Before starting Judge warns both Rane & CSP to maintain dignity but after few minutes both starts fighting & again judge warns.
     Rane tells humbly that he respects SKD etc…

     CSP starts with asking how many people were in the queue for CM, Rane tells AM & SKD but later CSP proves that Rane was also a 3rd person in the race 4 CM with posters etc.

     He also proves that Rane was opposing the SKD becoming CM with protest & letters written to High Command.

     CSP tells that since you want to become CM you have murder AM & Sent SKD to jail to make your way smooth bur Rane denies it.

     CSP also bring the matter that Rane had plan to kill SKD in accident in South Africa ! Here rane also gets upset…. Need to wait n see what happens today.

     Sorry guys i was not able to update like Sanjay or Shruthi as this is my first report….

682. Update – Thursday’s episode

     Part 1: The judge asks CSP whether he would like to cross-examine Rane, to which CSP replies that he would definitely not let him go without it. The judge also tells CSP to remember that he is cross-examining the HM of the state and to maintain the dignity required. CSP is also told to control his sarcasm, to which he says that he would definitely try. CSP tells the judge that he would require 4 days to complete his cross-examination, to which Rane objects arrogantly on the grounds that he is a politician and the HM, and that it’s also the election time. The judge admonishes him to show due respect to the court, failing which he would have to be issued a warrant to attend the proceedings. The judge says that Rane being the HM, should know that he cannot refuse to come for cross-examination. He says that in unavoidable circumstances, the court would consider posting the hearing to a more convenient time. Rane is annoyed and speaks in the singular to CSP, which prompts the judge to issue another warning to both CSP and Rane. CSP apologizes and begins the c-e.

     ——-

     Part 2: CSP recounts Rane’s testimony to the effect of the political angle in the case, which shows the implication of a motive on SKD’s part. Rane reiterates that the forthcoming elections had thrown up a question as to who lead the “Janahita Paksha”, as the present CM Hardev Patel was to take charge as national party President. The names of AM and SKD was proposed for the post, and AM on basis of seniority was to be projected as the future CM. Rane says that he only said that SKD “may have” seen to it that AM was not in the picture so that he could become the CM. CSP asks about the third candidate for the post, to which Rane says it could have been anyone- Rane, Janardhana Murthy, Ramana Rao, or even Muniyappa.

     CSP counters that all these leaders are Rane’s followers and not his equals. He also shows a petition submitted by these members to the party high command supporting Rane’s candidature for the CM’s post. Rane argues that they may have done so to show their regard towards him, to which CSP counters that Rane had supported these members – most of whom run medical and engineering colleges, or are involved in goondaism – in the assembly during the CET tangle. He shows a copy of the assembly proceedings wherein Rane’s stand on the issue is recorded. Rane argues that his stand is not anti-poor and that his leadership skills should not be questioned.

     —–

     Part 3: CSP produces a copy of a letter sent to SKD from the party high command, detailing that AM and SKD apart, a third contender for the post of CM has emerged on the caste and legislator’s support factor – Rane. SKD was then authorized to call a meeting of the 3, and to decide among themselves as to who would be projected as the CM candidate. CSP says that in this scenario if both SKD and AM are out of the picture Rane would be the next CM, to which Rane takes exception and says that how could they both not be in the picture and that CSP’s accusations were baseless and a pack of lies. He also says that he considers SKD as his “guru” and would be happy if he could be the CM. CSP then produces a newspaper clipping showing the scenes outside the CM’s residence on the day of the condolence meet for AM. CSP says that Rane opposed the motion to make SKD the deputy CM and HM. Rane denies this and CSP shows his statement detailed in the clipping. Rane says that the protestors were saying that and he was just quoting them.

     CSP says that Rane himself was responsible for the protests. He shows 2 of the protest leaders – Gundumani and Shivkumar – and says that they are Rane’s bodyguards. To prove his point he shows other photos where they are seen guarding Rane during other speeches. CSP also shows a poster hailing Rane as the future CM. All this proves that Rane in collaboration with Chhabria was instrumental in getting both AM and SKD, out of the picture. Rane refutes this yet again.

     CSP says that if both AM and SKD were killed together in a car accident, the suspicion would fall on Rane, and to avoid this they had plotted to kill SKD in South Africa. But unfortunately, he refused to go at the last minute. He refused on Dec 5th and on the 6th, Rane sent a letter to Gupta, of Kamala jewellers to give a “gold jhumki” weighing 30 gm to Brahmachar and Ranganath. CSP says that this was done to “fit” SKD in the AM murder case and that it was Rane who did this and not the CBI as claimed by Rane. He demands to know why would such a letter have been written otherwise. He asks Rane whether or not it is in his handwriting, to which Rane has no answer. Rane instead says that CSP is talking nonsense regarding SA and murder plots. CSP says that Gupta is present in the court and would testify when called upon by the judge to do so. Rane is silent.

     CSP then says that he would talk about SA, the murder plot, and the how and when at a later date.

683. Oops, I’m sorry Praveen..I did’nt notice that u’re update was already posted.. And for a first update u’ve been very precise and concise.. My update’s tending to be too long and boring… Sorry, folks !!!

     In y’day’s episode, the expressions of the principal characters was very good… Rane’s arrogance, and sudden silences, SS’s worry and SM’s sly satisfaction… MP’s shock on hearing about the SA angle, CSP’s mugulnage, the judge’s absorbing interest….. These are but a few of them… Difficult to capture them all in words…

     I also liked the way Rane was shown bouncing back after after each bouncer he faced from CSP…. A true politician’s attitude 🙂 Also, the way in which Rane neatly sidestepped giving a direct answer to the questions was commendable 🙂

684. Diya you have been doing very good job. Keep it up. For those of us who havent had a chance to watch, your updates are just like watching the serial. Its really interesting to read your updates. Thanks a lot.

     Praveen’s update is just the summary. But a good one.

685. Thanx a lot for the compliment Guru…:) I still feel that I have a long way to go in reaching the standards set by the heroine of the blog..Shruthi akka 🙂 But, I’ll definitely try to provide the updates till Shruthi is back.. 🙂

686. Diya your comments and writing skills are definitely improving day by day, that’s really cool 8) Thanks Praveen for filling in as well, anyway there ‘s no restriction so more people writing in, one can get a complete picture.

     Amruta will try to check out Sudha sometime. No idea about this ad though.

     H.P. sadhya doD manassu maaDi konEgaadru yeno baredralla thanks 😉 Just kidding, gottu sadyakke eshtondu projectgaLalliddira antha!

     —-

     Some observations of CSP interviewing Rane: Rane is the most stone headed Laloo kind of fellow. For whatever CSP says, Rane has something to reply. Probably its a pre-defined reply that he creates the moment CSP starts asking the question, even before completion. He feigns absolute confidence even though he’s replying complete nonsense or something totally unrelated. But still CSP sometimes manages to get Rane confused. Rane has always managed to recover. I think the key to CSP’s success is to say something that Rane does not expect, something that takes him off balance.

687. hi all

     Thx for a lovely update. I love court trials / Suspense stories and detective works and am an ardent fan of Erle Stanley Gardner(charecter Perry Mason -Criminal lawyer) and agata christe(Hercule Poirot) , I am sure the court trials which are being done in Muktha has been inspired by one of leading suspense thrillers, i try to keep comparing the incidents or the situations coming up in Muktha court trials. Once i had watched a Muktha samvada episode, where TNS did introduce his associate who supplies him data/material for his serials(TNS was quoting the example data when Rane gives this data of Gandhiji publishing a paper or something in South Africa, when he will try to convince thechief minister to send shivakrishna desai to South africa), This person was a familiar face, i guess hes a theatre artist as wel as tele serial actor. Anybody who knows more about this? I m very keen to know? Hope i m not boring you people with queries.

688. Thanx a lot sanjay.. 🙂 It means a lot to know that my work is being appreciated and even more to know that it’s improving day by day 🙂 🙂

689. I am watching mukta serial from episode -1 , now also i am watching this serial , even i transferred to Saudi Arbia for official work.
     Some times i fight with my Spouse for watching this serial, she feels that i am not giving any importance to other than Mukta.

     I hope same thing would have happened for others also.

     I would like to know how many episodes are left , i was very upset when , CSP wanted to compromise the case..

690. Sreedhar CSP didn’t really want to compromise the case, he was just playing devil’s advocate to give MP and SKD the opportunity a balanced view. This is seen in his very vehement expression of his protests against SS’ request for withdrawal 🙂

     (We shifted to another house nearby – in fact this shifting is one of the reasons that created a disturbance in me providing updates myself. Today I couldn’t watch it properly – just got a basic idea. Am moving now and wont even be able to watch it at 11 PM (new house dosent have cable set up yet).)

691. Hey,
     OK I’ll put up some of the thingys from Sudha tommorow, meanwhile enjoy watching Rane sweat!

692. Hey, I just came on!
     I bet all of you are still sleeping at the moment!!
     Anyway,

     😛 sorry!!

694. sorry
     I didnt know it posted three times, there i go again writing for what the 100th time??
     😛 sorry!!

695. Hi all!

     Diya, those were beautiful updates! 🙂

     It looks like I can come on to the site more regularly now.

     Did you watch Mukta samvada yday? When someone asked Ravi Belagere how he manages his time, he said “I do not have any time consuming habits. I have learnt to manage with only 4 hours of sleep. Besides, if you let really want to do something, then time will accommodate you.” I liked that! HE also said something about his wife, after this, which I did not catch.

696. I missed out couple of days muktha as i used to reach home only around 3 am, and also i couldn’t read any of the comments here. I dint find friday’s update or did i miss out reading it ????

698. Hey Friends,

     This weekend I had been to the house warming of one of my coleagues… Guess what??? I could see “Jalakanteshwara Devasthana” there!!! It is in Kaggadasapura area… Not sure about the exact location… but near BEML gate/Aerospace. 🙂

701. I saw the site today and it is really neat. Divya, the updates are fantastic. Sakkattaagidhe. Thanks. Now Muktha missaadhaaga yen maadbeku antha gothaaythu 🙂

702. Diya looks like you’re the new heroine now 8)

     Welcome back Shruti! 😀 I missed the samvaada last weekend – that’s a pretty thought-provoking line from Ravi Belegare thanks!

     Sridhar if you mail me a photo I can put it here.

     Prasanna, there was no update for Friday… unfortunately I can’t provide one as I didn’t see it properly either!

     Hey Amruta maybe you triple-clicked on the submit button 🙂

703. A friend referred to the cover story on The Week magazine… found online here:

     Murder of justice

     The rich exploit the legal system.
     …
     Across the country, many such cases of denied justice have resurfaced in the minds of the public.

     We need more lawyers like CSP in real life!!

704. Ravi Belagere and Time

     Is working for 20 hours a good way of managing time? I have seen Ravi working for 20 hours and I have never agreed that he has managed time effectively.
     Because of Crime diary, Hibangalore comes late to stands. because of Muktha, Oh! manasa is only in advertisements. No, I have always found ravi to be a bad manager of time. Having said that his approach to time is excellent, his timing is amazing. He understands the four quadrants of time and effectively prioritizes and hence is successful.

     Sanjay. you are asking for ravi belagere’s photograph. google photos has a lot. If you want the latest (I mean after his 48th birthday, i can mail you one.

705. Girish that’s pretty interesting info. btw I was referring to the Jalakanteshwara temple that Sridhar had been to 🙂 Anyway please mail me the latest photo of Ravi Belegere at your convenience as well.

     ———

     For those not familiar with 4 quadrants…

     Stephen R. Covey in his book 7 Habits of Succesful People talks about in his Four Quadrants of Time Management:

     1) Important & Urgent
     2) Important & Not Urgent
     3) Urgent & Not Important
     4) Not Urgent & Not Important

     According to Covey, the problem most people have is with Quadrant Two, the Important but not Urgent.

706. Hmm missed today’s episode as I had a special guest at my house today, a 102 year old ajji !! She looked and acted like she was 60 and was simply unbelievable!

     So thats how Im watching the episode at 11 PM now in my old house as the new one still dosent have cable!

     Anyway here’s the summary of today’s episode:

     ———-

     Nanjuda, Mallikarjun Swamy Tata and little Chinmayi are going on a walk off to Gowri’s house. [Its really cool their humorous conversation, hopefully Diya/Shruti can manage to capture some details tomorrow… 🙂 ] They pass Shivarammiah’s house where some senior citizens are standing outside, MS starts chatting with them and they present an irresistable offer – playing cards with them. There are a group of kids playing and then Chinnu is introduced to them. Then they start playing cards, and after a while Nanjunda gets a call and has to leave. He tells MS to bring Chinnu with them… he just waves it off saying he knows it well enough. Eventually he’s made a clean sweep of everyone, and everyone reluctantly part with their money. MS encouragingly makes an offer to continue, but they break off saying its so late and someone says “Its already 8:30, nan serial shuruaago samaya banthappa…” 😉 and someone else comments “neenu nin serialu”. He returns home gleefully counting his money.

     At home, they’re talking about what a sweet talented girl Chinnu is, and how tragic it is that she’s lost her parent’s at such a young age. Gowri is speculating adapting Chinnu. MS comes home, and is questioned, he is says that Chinnu is with Nanjunda. And Nanjunda later returns and is stunned that MS hasn’t brought her home. They immediately call the house and find that she’s left the house alone all by herself. Nanjunda goes in search of her.

     In Chinnu’s house, they’re talking about how she’s so attached to Gowri. There’s a call from Chinnu’s house – first MS says that she’s still playing with the kids at the neighbour’s house. But Gowri insists on the truth, and takes the phone and tells them that she’s lost and they’re trying to find her. They wonder how irresponsible Gowri is.

     Vikram

708. i stumbled across this page while looking for the muktha title song lyrics & mp3. and after reading through someof ur comments and posts, i am starting to like ur small coalition here.

     i too, like everybody else here, like the muktha serial. but sometimes i find the dialogues repetetive. for example, in the arunachal murthy case, when the car accident occured, the story of how the accident occured, was told umpteen number of times by umpteen number of characters. but i have to admit, the humour, the story, seetharam’s approach, its all very likeable. anyways, just my two cents worth.

     adarsh

709. I am sorry my update was posted three times! Actually the page timed out and it came up with “Page cannot be displayed” error and hence I could not see the postings… apologies for filling in the space! 🙁

710. Hey Sanjay,

     Sorry, I din’t carry my digicam with me. But if I happen to visit that place again surely will take a snap and mail it across! 🙂

711. I unnecessarily air dashed to home yest that too in a taxi(which office will take care 😀 😀 ) to watch muktha, but i thought it would have been nice if i could have completed my work and gone home, i didnt find anything interesting in yest episode.

712. Hi!
     Prasanna, I did not watch Friday’s episode either, but I heard it was entirely about Gowri bringing Chinmayee to her home and making her sing and all that 🙂 So I dont think we missed much!

     About the dialogues that Sanjay mentioned, between Nanjunda, Thatha and Chinmayee, –

     Chinnu has asked for chocolate, and Thatha gets Munch for her. She takes, it, doesn’t say thanks.
     Thatha – Thanks helollva?
     Chinnu- Neevu 50 rupees chocolate kottidre uddakke thanks helthidde, neevu 5 rupees chocolate kottralla, adakke manasnalle thanks helkondbitte 🙂
     Then Nanjunda and Thatha tease each other about who is more stingy, with Thatha accusing Nanjunda of washing his hands off with buying her 8 rupees Dosa.
     Then Chinnu wants somebody to carry her as the road is dirty and her legs are aching, and both of them again want the other to carry her, so Chinnu says “shame shame, neither of you can carry me”, etc..
     Other similar kiddish behaviour. 🙂 Cute kid. But a little spoilt, if I may say so 🙂

     Where is the new heroine today? :)) And hey, where are the other regulars? Murthy, Anitha, Chaitanya, etc.?

713. Tuesday – Summary (since there are no updates yet)

     Chinnu is brought back by Samarth, who had been Gowri’s student in the MaTha. He found Chinnu crying, asked her where she wanted to go, and brought her back. Everybody is relieved. The next day Gowri takes Chinnu back to her grandma. She is also relieved. Gowri and Grandma apologize to each other. Gowri for her irresponsibility, and Grandma for being angry with her, as she was afraid of kidnap attempts. Gowri says that Chinnu is like her own child, and would have been as hurt as Grandma if anything had happened.

     Party president Ramana Rao goes to meet Manmohan, gives him 20 lakhs and tells him that he has been selected to stand for election from Pushpagiri. Rane’s support is with him, and Chhabria is funding the elections. Manmohan is rude, asks him not to take Rane’s name in front of him, says Rane was the one who got his father murdered. I will not have anything to do with the party in which Rane is there. Ramana Rao speaks insultingly about Arunachalamurthy, and Manmohan lashes back, and says that he was a great person, but after associating with people like you, he also became like that. Ramana Rao goes away. Indira pats Manmohan’s shoulder with a mixture of pride and happiness.

     Dy SP (Devanna?) goes to meet CSP, tells him that Rane is trying to get him transfered, but he wants to finish the case before that. He says, that Jagan seems to not have told Gangaswamy about this contract at all, but has taken the help of Rane’s shishyas for the job, and there he has gone wrong. He has Jagan in custody, but some links are missing which is preventing him from slapping a case on Jagan, and hence Rane and Chhabria. He gets to know that CSP was aware that he would be attacked, and CSP tells him tht Nanjunda told him so. DySP wansts Nanjunda to give a statement, but CSP says, no, he won’t, as he is worried about his sisters. Then DySP says they will try again, I have made sure people are all around you, Mylari patil and I will be with you on alternate days, but still you have to be careful. CSP thanks and says, Nimma Runa na hege teerisali? DySP says, Sir, Runa yenu?? you were the one who gave us the dreams of a new Karnataka… you were the one who opened our eyes and taught us, how can i allow anything to happen to you? CSP is very touched, says thank you.

     Please elaborate!

714. Shruthi, nice to see you back..

     I was on vacation for 4 days so could not come online…

     I liked Manmohan’s scene yesterday . The dialogues were good. And also the last scene .. the conversation between CSP & inspector… nice simple dialogues …

     I understand the concern Gowri has for chinmayi … but the way she tells annapurnamma when chinmayi was missing “ondu sanna problem agbittide madam… chinmayi innu manage bandilla (at 9.30 in the night) neevenu yochane madbedi”…
     A child has not come home at 9.30 in the night .. is it a small problem …I fail to understand this ..

     CSP yavagaloo Gowri, arundhati maneyavaru thumba olleyavaru .. antha helutha iruthare … antha olle kelasa avarenu madiddare … nanaganthu gothilla …

715. Nice seeing you back in action Heroine. Anitha my perception is that TNS wants to show what even a person holding a big post can talk loose during tensed moments OR what might be a major problem for you need not be a major one for me.

     I think TNS’s main intention of showing that scene was whatever good deeds that family has performed in the past is paying out now for them in different ways.

     Diya is not there to say OBJECTION 😀 😀 . Any one can do it in her absence.

716. Such a wonderfull and interesting serial i don’t want to miss a single part of the serial,the name of the places is good, Hemagiri, Sudukoppa (Dist) etc,and also role Arundhathi,gowri,manmohan etc. each and every talk is comes with the TNS FILTER(Quality Control),such a wonderfull imagination
     in depth about perticular subject,during court sessions.its nice to watch & very nice to here. Depressed CSP in court hall & the solution to his Depresion when he go to mat by doing meditation which is acceptable.

     Yesterday i saw the serial ( date: 21st March 2006)
     the scene Ramana rao comes to Indira-Arunachal murthy’S residence, that he has to convince manmohan to participate in the party’s activities & also to participate in his father’s constituency,

     that time ramana rao misspell manmohan as manohar
     more than three words (manohar) repeated instead of manmohan
     Mr TNS-Sir, try to avoid this type of mistakes this may leads 100 % qc approved serial.

717. Hello Shruthi, the blog was really empty without the heroine :-), just kidding.

     Anitha, Gowri haagu kutumbadavaru olle kelasa madadhe idhdharu paravagilla, innobarige kettadhdhdu maadadhe idhdhare, adhe olle kelsasa allave? adhu ee kaaladalli. This is just my personal thought.

     Where is DSP, i.e Diya 🙂

718. Yesterday’s episode revealed the idea behind Manmohan’s character in Muktha. He was an evil-minded son, who compelled his father to accept bribe, who indulged in some stupid things to grow rich, who thought money was everything and money brings in good results…
     He matured to understand the value of Heart and Love. Peace and friendship. TNS groomed his character very well..
     An unholy youngster to a matured gentleman. This has come very well. What do you say?

719. Hey,
     I’m really confused, are the things I wrote from Sudha appearing on this site?? Argh I can’t see them, anyway if they’re not, tell me and I’ll do ’em again.

     😛 HAHA

     Ok,
     Cya,
     keep smiling 😛 🙂 😀 😉 bye!!!

720. No Amruta, what you typed doesn’t seem to have appeared on the site.
     Also, I am feeling very ill, and will not be able to give yesterday’s update. I am very sorry about it. 🙁

721. Yesterday’s episode was one of the best episodes …

     When CSP started talking about Rane’s father I thought why CSP is talking about matters that are totally irrelevant … but the way CSP portrayed how Rane has changed from a perfect follower of Gandhiji to a murderer was amazing … Even Rane could not say anything …

     Extremely well directed episode

722. Brief summary of yesterday:

     Yesterday was all about Rane.

     CSP traces Rane’s political career. At first Rane smilingly explains how he first got a seat into politics, and everyone in the court including the judge as well as CSP is appreciating the story, a pleasant narration.

     Eventually CSP recollects one of the competitors of Rane who had met with an unfortunate death in a lorry accident. Rane innocently praises the man saying, he was such a great man, he shouldn’t have died. CSP traces that it was another murder by Rane.

     He asks whether his father had appreciated his winning the election at that time. Rane says he cannot recollect. Then CSP gets another news article that Rane’s father did not even allow him inside the house.

     Incidentally Rane was the son of a true patriot, his father was a Gandhian freedom fighter. In his childhood days, Rane had even written a poem appreciating Gandhi to his father. Somewhere down the line, he’d gone wrong, and continued along those lines, getting into murder and so on. CSP narrates some poetry (hope someone can recollect those lines here please) … which spoke of a man who builds a temple but lives in the bathroom, similarly a man who has amruta flowing in front of his house but goes looking for poison in the backyard. Thats where Rane had ended up – having had such fine influences in his younger days, had ignored them and gone on a totally different path.

     ——-

     Anita, I definitely agree yesterday was one of the best episodes, I really loved it! Shruti this is bad timing for your ill-health 😉 but hope you get well soon!

     Yesterday towards the last few minutes one of my friends came home and taunted me about how I was so obsessed with some saas-bahu serial… at first I was annoyed but later on after the serial was over I explained the character of Rane to him. I told him how we read biographies of so many good men, but looking at the biography of a man gone wrong is also useful – just see how easy it is for a person once misled to continue on the same path of regression. The poetry towards the end of the serial was really beautiful. But he simply could not learn to appreciate it, he said – so what, even Phoolan Devi and so many other movies depict the same thing. Well I left it at that. I don’t expect my sophisticated friend to not follow a serial, but maybe he mightve tried to see the value behind such a character analysis 🙂 One though was that Muktha is conveying a point that anyone could end up being a Rane – even with the best of upbringing and background, its so easy to go astray with the wrong decisions at the wrong time. One could even keep getting away with it, until one inevitable day he is put on trial!

     I got another idea to record only parts of the audio – for example yesterday’s poetry. One could use an MP3 encoder like Winamp or Microsoft Encoder or countless others that are available free on the net, record parts of the dialogues as MP3s. If anyone could mail these to me I could put them up here.

     Amruta, no idea why your post didnt make it, very surprising… and efinitely its not stuck in moderation either. Maybe there was some network glitch 😛 You could maybe email it to me directly.

726. Murthy, sorry TNS would know enough to spell his name correctly…!! Anyway the message is from Australia 🙄

727. Sanjay, to record audio, try audacity. you can save the recorded file in a very low quality wav or mp3 to conserve space. It allows editing of audio files. Above all, this great software is completely free for personal use.

728. Hey, ok guys, here are the Sudha comments..

     1. Why can’t the judge say Order, Order, instead of saying enough enough 😆

     2. How did a middle class family like Gowri’s pay back a loan of so much? That’s like impossible… 😡

     3. Why is Madhavi Patel and SKD always standing in court? If the judge said they could sit, they should have said yes, please make them sit, coz they look weird standing.. 😈

     4. Why are those people you see behind CSP when he’s cross-examining always standing up? kundro vyevasta maadi. 😉

     ————————————————————

     I’ll do more when the new Sudha comes
     Hehe, 😳 I think the last time I typed I didn’t press SUBMIT COMMENT, lol

     Well, that’s all cya
     KEep 😛 !

729. Oh my god,
     Would people stop posting untrue comments? And why are they all from here? ARGH, we seem so evil 🙄 stop it

730. Ammu, with little knowledge of court proceedings i can answer couple of your queries

     1. Judge has to says order order only when the court proceedings goes hay way like accused shouting. Here its only an arguement between two lawyers which is not holding the court timing and sanctity.

     2. The majority of the loan was repaid by Nanjunda and not Gowri:D 😀 .

     3.As per the law either the accused or the witness are not supposed to sit until and unless they are physically handicapped or of old age. ( also they shudn’t be offered to sit too )

     4. Ammu. for your last query i have no answer the right person is TNS or Mr.Samarth

731. Well,
     You are true this was not posted by Sita Ram: )
     I am SItaram’s Niece,I happened to comeacross this blog,when I was browsing for Muktha.I was talking to my uncle yesterday night and I told him there is a site where there are lot of your fans posting about Mukta.
     Infact I told him that bcoz I had read one post which said “I would be nice if TNS would read this blog.I mean something like this was written in this blog .So I felt very happy and i got a bit emotional,I felt so many people love my uncle so I wanted to tell him about this site.When I told him he was very happy,as he is a very busy man ,he said” I would love to reply to them I dont have time right now why dont you reply on my behalf”
     So I wrote on behalf of him.
     This is what happened.
     It is acceptable,when you dont believe,when suddenly someone posts as if written in my uncle’s name.But friends it is true that he now knows about this and I will send him this URL and ask him to write to you in person.
     I ONLY WANTED THIS NICE BLOG TO BE NOTICED BY SITARAM.WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE HIM AND ARE WRITING WITH SO MUCH INTEREST,I WANTED HIM TO KNOW.Thats all.
     SAnjay this post is not from Australia 🙂
     It is from Bangalore.:)
     WIsh you all Good luck.

732. During yesterday’s episode, I saw two discrepencies.

     1) MP’s dress was different in the second part of the episode and was same in the first and third part of the episode.

     2) While cross-examining Rane, CSP was holding a paper to show some article against Rane. Behind the newspaper (i.e the sheet facing the screen) “Sammishra Sarkarakke Dhakkeilla” antha.
     But in the serial, the govt is not a “Sammishra Sarkara” right ?

733. TN Sitaram’s Niece: Could we request ur uncu to make muktha court scene dvd’s commercially availabe? Even an audio re-cast on any of our fm channels will be much more fun.
     Once again thanks for bringing across a personal message from CSP…

734. Oooh! Thanks PAvan!
     I was thinking why did i put myself in trouble by innocently trying to bring this blog to uncle’s notice.
     I think I wont write much on this blog from now on,I will write only once in a while.Now I am scared !!!!!!!!to write.
     Ok, Pavan I will tell my Uncle about the DVD ,I dont know what he will say,but I will put it across to him.
     You are most welcome pls dont thank me.

     With Best Regards

736. Seetharam’s niece, what can I do, this software said your previous message was from Australia 😀 Anyway thanks for the message!

737. it is nice to write after a long time. Muktha is going well. But one thing I would like to ask Mr. TNS is that, how come CSP gets all the documents like the one what Rane has written to his high command or the one Rane’s shishyas written to high command asking for their demand to make Rane as the next CM. I agree, probably he would have got it from some detective agency…..but….but… how come it is ORIGINAL. All the documents till now he has produced in the court are originals not the duplicates. B’coz, we could see the original signatures (in colour)of Rane’s shishyas, Rane’s letter head (in colour again), some government orders, or even whatever the high command’s reply. Can somebody inform TNS that it is impossible to get all those details??

738. Sanjay Why do u argue, cant TNS’s niece be Down under. Whoever the niece am fully with you saying you are a genuine niece no doubts on your identity. 😀 😀 😀 😀

739. Thats OK Sanjay.This is a nice site and a good blog for people to express their views and opinions.

     Thank you.

740. Thank you Prasanna .It is natural when somebody doubts ,bcoz there are people who might just play around on the net.
     I am really his niece.Giggle 🙂
     I will tell him when I posted on this blog all this happened 🙂

     Rgds

741. Hello,
     Sorry, 😳 I judged you b4 you could prove urself Mr. Sitaram (seetaram)
     Prassana, they were not my queries, they were comments from Sudha 😉

     Well, anyway, Seetaram’s niece, can you please tell your sen me a photo of Seetaram sir??? PLEASE! 😀 (if you can, something autographed 😉 )

     Ok, 😉 cya!Keep 😛 !

742. Something happened to the daily updates? :((

743. Hey Keshav,
     Not all the documents CSP produces are origanals, do you remember he says sometimes, ” nodi illi nann hathra document copy ide” and the witness (eg. Inspector Rangnath) will say, ” nimm hathra copy irboudri, adre adralli change madirboudu, adu origanal alla.”

     But yeah, some are origanal 😉

     Its a bit hard to belive 😯 hehe
     Cya! Keep 😛 !

744. Hi again,
     Um, I have read some more things from Sudha (with the help of my mother)

     So i’ll put them here:

     When people come to CSP’s house and he offers them some coffee, it seems bad that he says, ” Ayya, ounu lota ella toladirolla, ri,”
     That would have been good, but the fact that he gives them the coffee and says “thamaashege” and he doesn’t drink it himself is weird.

     ————————————————————

     Suryavamshi has very beautiful acting when such “sannivesha’s arrive , like when nyayadeesharu ask, is it OK that CSP stays at my house, SS utters beautiful words.

     ————————————————————
     When Jaggan came and made that sign to say that CSP was dead wasn’t very nice.

     ————————————————————

     That’s all for now 😉
     Keep, smiling 😛 !

     Where is Diya and Chaitanya and the others!
     haha.. im tired from watching Muktha at 6:30 with this horrible time difference in Aus.

     WELL, bye!!

745. I will not be able to view this site or post my comments since am coming to namma bengaluru this week.

     Am planning to visit some known hotels like Vidyarthi Bhavan, Have benne masale at the hotel next to malleswaram circle ground. Vishnu Bhavan coffee …………

     I’m reachable at 23400515

     Bye for all

746. Hi all..
     i missed ‘mukta ‘ on 24-03-06.
     Can anybody please update the story?

     Thanks in advance!

747. Guru,

     I haven’t been well, else I would have put up some updates 🙁

     Anyway, here is a very short summary of what happened on Thursday and Friday.

     CSP is giving Rane a very tough time. Though Rane, as a perfect politician, is doing his best to slip out of everything, he is not being successful.

     CSP proves the following points.( a few of them)

     –Chhabria and Rane are partners, in the sense they have an unwritten understanding. Chhabria funds all Rane’s plans, and in return, Rane gives him major contracts, and also should make Chhabria a Rajya Sabha member.
     In fact, he proves that with AM and SKD out of the way, Rane gives Chhabria’s company a very coveted project – development of a highway with a number of satellite towns around it.

     –Rane and Chhabria conspired to do away with SKD in South Africa. He has the following bits of proof.

     1) There was a bomb blast in Transvaal. According to the itinerary, SKD, had he gone there, should have been at that very place at that exact time.

     2) One guy, Richard Mary, was apprehended in connection with the blasts. He was found to have links with Gangaswamy.

     3) The “brother-in-law” of Rane, who had invited SKD for the function, was the same person as Rane’s PA. The signature in the invitation letter, and a sample of the PA’s signature are of the same person – Chougule. In fact, Rane does not even have a BIL called Chougule.

     4) The function was for the centenary of the magazine Indian Opinion started by Gandhiji. But the actual centenary is in 2008, not in 2005.

     5) The address of Gandhi Bhavana given in the invitation was the address of a diamond showroomin Transvaal.

     6) CSP has a letter from the Indian embassy, that there is no Gandhi Bhavana at all, in Transvaal.

     7) The tickets for SKD to go to South Africa, should have been booked by the hosts. But it was booked by the CEO of Mandalam group, ie. Chhabria’s group.

     Etc etc…. [Cannot remember all of them].

     All these shakes up Rane, he is left sweating. Chhabria and even Suryavamshi are left speechless.

     ————————————————————————————–

     I found a number of mistakes in the episodes. In the ticket, Johannesburg was spelt wrong.(as johnas burg). In the newspapers, it was written “Apperhended” in TWO places, instead of “apprehended” – that too in bold. I think these are very easily avoidable mistakes… I know its not too big, but the problem is, coming to see Muktha as a perfect serial, these mistakes seem like glaring blunders! 🙂

     It is lovely to see Rane sweat! 😉

748. Thanks a lot shruthi. Updates can wait. Take care of ur health.

749. shruthi,
     thanks..koodale update kaLisiddakke tumbaa thanks!
     hope you are doing well ..

750. Yeh, Shruthi Akka, get well soon, then worry about the updates…………..

751. Shruthi Akka, you might be mistaken or something, short? SHORT?? SSHHOORRTT???
     That was lloooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggg!

     😆 gr8 job even wen your sick!

     😛 Bye 😛 Keep 😀 !!

752. Thank you everybody, I am fine now! 🙂

753. Hello Sir/madam,
     can u get me the title song of Mukta serial sung by C. Ashwat. Please……

754. TNS’s niece, I am sure you would be happy to be identified by your name rather than… Would like to know your name. Also, can you please reply with the names of TNS’s wife and children ?

755. Hello Sir Promod, Please have a look at the blue
     strips above for the songs, lyrics, etc. 🙂

     Btw TNS’ brother-in-law had come to my house on Sunday – my doDDamma’s friend. He was saying that judges call up TNS’ home to congradulate him on a good episode every now and then. I told him about this blog but I don’t think that he got the idea as he wasn’t computer savvy… unfortunately I couldn’t show it to him as I didn’t have internet connectivity at that time yet.

756. Today’s episode was really very sensitive, TNS acting was exceptional. Considering that it does reflect reality to a very reasonable extent though the story of course would vary, I felt very much moved at the farmers’ plight. I look forward to the update tomorrow!

757. Just after the first part, there was a power cut…. and by the time the power came back, I was fast asleep, so could not watch it at 11 pm either 🙁 So here is the update for the first part.
     ____________________________________________________________
     CSP’s questioning reveals that Rane’s second wife Jyoti Pavate is Chandrakant Pavate’s daughter. Jyoti was Rane’s PA for two years. During this time, his first wife committed suicide [He stresses upon this a bit, he seemed to be suggesting something, but then let it go]. Right after his wedding to Jyoti Pavate, Chandrakant Pavate rose to the level of professor, and soon HOD in agricultural universities, though there were many above him.

     CSP talks about a tissue culture lab called Neelakanta labs.. which developed a superior kind of banana plant due to tissue culture. Though Rane says he has not heard of it, CSP produces a document which shows that Rane had written to the agriculture minister, who had issued a directive to all the Taluk agricultural associations, to buy a certain amount of banana plants from Neelakanta labs. CSP says that it amounted to 8 crores of business to Neelakanta labs. Rane says, when the budget is crores and crores, what is 8 crores for the benefit of our land’s farmers? You behave as if it is a crime.
     ____________________________________________________________

     Pfffft! No power. 🙁 — Please give the update for the second and third parts – I am waiting! 🙂

758. Here is an update of yesterdays episode after the power cut.I was only fortunate enough to hear the story from my friend..

     >CSP brings out the fact that Neelakanta Labs is named after Chhabria’s son.
     >CSP showcases a photograph of Rane & Chhabria promoting products of the lab.
     >Rane denies his involvement.
     >CSP shows a document proof that Rane is a major share holder in the lab.
     >CSP links Rane with the ‘Chinnarika’ episode,accusing him of promoting the crop and shifting the whole blame onto Purshottama when the crop failed.
     –Purshi was a welcome new face in the courts scene.It was becoming boring to see Madhavi Patel & Desai standing in the court.
     >CSP ends the episode with a promise that he has more evidence against Rane

     EOM
     Bye

759. Pavan, thanks!

760. Thanks for that update, unfortunately, my mother recorded the shows from maneyondu.. to preeti illada.. anyway, the cassete ran out just after CSP finished his second sentence so i was annoyed 😆

     well,
     bye! keep 😛 !! 😀 !!

761. Thanks Pavan!

     In addition to this…

     CSP links Rane with the ‘Chinnarika’ episode,accusing him of promoting the crop and shifting the whole blame onto Purshottama when the crop failed.

     He talks about how so many farmers have suffered huge losses and have been driven to suicide. He says ‘as the agricultural minister, this has been your contribution’. One farmer manages to come forward edging beyond the security guard, and whispers into CSP’s ear, to which CSP chides him ‘hog kuthkoLri, nanage cross-examination maaDoke heLkodbedri, nanage yen keLbekantha gottidde’

     He says that idella aadmele mugitu andkobeDi, nimminda mosa hogida farmers ge 48 crores kakkisthini!! with a kind of angry expression… and all the farmers applaud – the judge promptly silences them. 🙂

     CSP is very emotional when he speaks about how the hard working farmers and their families have been affected by this much of corruption, and I really felt sad myself, as it does reflect reality – due to the greed of politicians much deserved hard-working people get taken for a ride.

     —-

     A week or so ago on TV I heard about saalumarada thimmakka – she had been awarded a large amount of money in terms of lakhs by the government, but the final official who had to hand over the money had given her just Rs 500 and pocketed the rest 👿 She had been so innocent that she never even realised it until it came to light much later. I got to see this great lady on TV, she was so cool about it, narrating the incident about getting cheated as if she was telling some kids some story…! 🙂 How low a person could go to cheat someone like her!

     Anyway, you can read her beautiful story here…
     

762. Friends,

     It has been sometime since I pinged here. Actually I had been tremendously busy with my cousin sister’s marriage last week, I am sure you know how hectic it is to be on the bride’s side.

     Anyway, this post is on TNS, the most simple and humble celebrity I have seen. I met our beloved TNS sir at the marriage!

     There was complete madness as soon as he was spotted by the crowd. People, all ages alike, flocked around him and yet he was very patient and humble with them. Some people were asking the same-old crazy questions – like what does CSP stands for, or why his serials begin with ‘M’, what happens next? etc – and he patiently answered all of them umpteen number of times. When I dragged him from people to lunch, since he was getting late, I asked him, ‘yenu sir hinge hidkotare jana nimmana, kelidde keltare..?’ he said ‘houdu houdu, irli bidappa, avr khushi’

     My various attempts to talk about our blog with TNS failed, with somebody jumping over everyone and asking him ‘what is CSP’ and he smilingly answering ‘Chandrashekar prasad kanappa’. I feel bad about it that I couldn’t, sorry friends. But atleast I now have enough links to contact him if required.

     Rarely do we see such a humble, down-to-earth celebrity. Hats-off Sir!

     Chaitanya

763. Story of “salumarada Thimakka” is so inspiring

     in business world we people are always waiting to be reconized the moment we feel we have done something… and here is a couple who worked for 45 years with out expecting any rewards/recognitions .. truly amazing

764. So true, Anitha. It is people like her who are truly great.

     Chaitanya, thats so wonderful! 🙂 Sad that you could not tell him about his fan club 😉 but I am sure it would have been impossible… its a wonder that you got to speak at least 2 lines with him 🙂

765. Someone like Raane may have cheated Saalumarada Thimmakka. I remember seeing this great lady on E-TV news.

766. Once, a few days back, I was on my way to meet a friend who would be gone forever to Pune, So, wanted to present her my favorite book, in English. I went to buy a book from a roadside bookseller. Asked him “ee book ge estu agathe?” (How much does it cost, in Kannada).
     He said “One fifty Rs”. I asked him “Estakke Kodtiya? Nange eradu books beku. 100 Madko.” (How much shall I give, if I buy two books? Please give it to me in 100 Rs/book.) Without a second thought he said “Sir, 150 Kodi. Eradu books tagondu Hogi.” (Please give me 150/- and take away both the books.) After buying it, I asked him why did he reduce the price by 50%? For which he said “Sir, Neevu Kannada matadiddakke tumba kushi aytu. Adikke kotte.!!!!!” (“I was very happy to see someone speaking in Kannada!”)!! I could see his face filled with celebration. Friends, It didn’t happen in an alien country, or an alien city. I experienced it in “namma Bengalooru”, in the very crowded Koramangala, near the Forum mall. What a bankruptcy of Kannada speaking people in this city!!!

     I was shocked to hear that a seller in Bangalore awaits a Kannadiga to go to him and speak with him in his language. But it happens rarely as he put it. Quiet unfortunate!

     I just hope that the situation improves and such things wont repeat. I also hope that we hear our language spoken everywhere in the city. Lets not allow it die in front of our eyes.

     – Srik.

767. In yesterday’s episode for the first time I could see TNS becoming emotional (bhavodveka) when he was telling: “Ee nalavettalu kotinu ninna bayindane kakkistini. Raitara duddu andre enu sumne barutta?” In fact for those who missed the last part, this was a very sensitive portion was missed! 🙁

768. Chaitanya.
     You are truly right. Indeed, TNS is a down to earth fellow. I have had an opportunity to chat with him for 45 min this sunday. I was with Ravi Belagere and TNS joined us along with star couple of Malavika (Ragini is her home-name) and Avinash (Ravi is his home-name) Later Nagathihalli chandrashekhar joined that party.
     For most of the time, I was a naive listener as the discussion revolved around UR Ananthamurthy’s candidature to RajyaSabha. I was so happy to see the group’s view. It is often said that celebrities talk rubbish and straight to their own nose. I was thrilled with Avinash’s know how about literature and later got to know that he was a English lecturer along with Nagathihalli.
     Malavika, I think is keen on a lot of subjects and she was speaking how yugoslovia got split and what happened later.
     Ravi Belagere was speaking about sahitya srishti and how TNS contributes to it.
     Chaitanya: I did what you thought you failed to communicate to TNS. I did speak to him about the blog and told about its quantity and quality. I feel this blog has info equivalent to more than one samvada with a difference.
     People here give view without prejudice and has fantastic stuff written over here.
     Malavika and TNS knew about the blog but they haven’t ventured to have a look at it. They were eager to go back and have a view of it. By this time, they might have had a look. If I get a chance, will get the feedback and post it here.

769. I could not watch Muktha yesterday! I had gone out, and it was very late by the time I returned :(. I have become a very irresponsible updater and am giving everybody lots of trouble! 🙁 If anybody is free, please give an update! Thanks! 🙂

     Girish, that is just wonderful! Great to hear that at last the existence of this page has got to TNS’s notice. It will be great if he leaves a comment here or something like that 🙂

     Srik, that was a very touching incident. I felt both happy and sad! I always make it a point to speak in Kannada wherever I go, with auto people, shop keepers, everybody. But you know, nowadays I see more and more Kannada being spoken. I think, just like you and me, everybody is becoming aware of how much Kannada is being ignored.

770. Good Morning,
     I have seen TNS walking in LalBagh 8)
     May we could do a ‘walk the talk’ thing.

771. How nice it would be .. if TNS puts his signature on this page …

     I agree with Shruthi … even i see lot of people speaking in kannada these days .. at office, shops, restaurants etc .. the feeling that “if you speak in kannada then you will be considered a second class citizen” is slowly reducing …

     And we on our part should put our constant effort towards this … When somebody calls on your mobile to sell something to you OR when these various bank people call you up to sell their products OR when you go to 3 star / 5 star hotels ….in numerous such occasions, where we are helping others business … in all those cases we need to ensure that we reply back to them in Kannada … after all we are helping their business run and they better learn our language …

772. Namaskara,
     Lets commit overselfs to revamp the glory of kannada by speaking kannada wherever it is possible & make the kannada alive around us… This is my humble request !!!

     Dayaviitu kannada ulisi… Belasi… Kannada matadalu injarike beda adu namma matrubhashe!!!

773. A brief update of Thursday’s episode :

     Part I :

     Manmohan, Supriya Pathak and Indira on conversation:
     SP sounds dominant, wants MM to appologise at Rane and Ramana Rao for behaving rudely with the later.
     MM is adamant and says that he should not join those ‘murderers’.
     If he wanted to give real tribute to his father, he should not contest with the ‘help’ of these killers.
     SP fights back “Is my father a bad boy?”, asks rudely, and adds “My father has talked to RR and if you appologise, you will be funded and surely will win from here.
     If my father was not close to you…” Stops there.
     MM is upset and says “I donn want a favour from your father, And I am not going to contest these elections from a party that has not respected my father and indeed killed him.”
     and adds “Even if it is at the cost of breaking our engagement”, and leaves angrily.
     SP turns to Indira, who also does not support her and says, “Please leave for now.”

     Part II :

     Annapurnamma is seemingly not well and has a mild heart attack again.
     She is sure that she’s not going to be alive for long.
     Gauri visits her and asks Why no one is taking care of her at that time, for which she says the doc is sending a nurse for her service.
     And then asks Gauri that she has no faith in anyone, except for her, to take care of Chinnu.
     For which Gauri says she will take full care of her as her own daughter, Annapurnamma need not worry about it.
     At this moment the old lady becomes emotional and says “Neenu Yake nanna magalagi huttalilla!”
     And she says I have some other responsibilities to give u before it is too late. let me see you later.

     Part III :
     Cross examination of Rane continues :
     CSP : You need to survive in politics, so u need money, for money u have to be a friend to ppl like Chhabria,
     When he funds, u have to be favourable to him, and there is a feeling that is created that rane is a nayi of chhabria.
     For which Rane is very very upset and complains, SS also raises objection. Judge says CSP it is too much. You should be in the limits, this is the last warning for you, or else I should be putting you in jail.
     CSP appologises to Rane and says “Dayavittu kshamisi bidi Raneavare Nimmanna nayi ge compare madiddakku, nayi ge compare madillade iddiddakkoo”..
     And tries to continue …

774. Yeah. Youn are true Shruti. We should be awaken before it is too late.
     “Kote bagilu hakakke munche ne echettukollabekagide.” Otherwise, we might not see Kannada in Bangalore.

775. Very nice to see lot of comments made about about Speaking Kannada , This is very positive sign and each of us can make adiffrence if we start speaking in Kannada to all people whom we contact in day to day life can it be posh IT mall, Pizzza corner, Mcdonalds or anything. Whole world respects their own language , recently French Primemisister walkedout of high level International business meeting when French Businessmen started speaking in English since it was aInternational convention. We dont need to be so fanatic but atleast we are obligated to give whatever our language deserves.
     Sanjay, with your kind permission , like to use this platform to request all visitors of this site to spread this message and do our bit for the survival of this great language Kannada. Belive me we as individuals can make huge diffrence. Lastly TNS is gret and MUktha is revolution in Tele serial world , this is one of the best serials anywhere in the world in any language.

776. Thanks a lot for the update, Srik! 🙂
     Btw, are you a fan of Supriya Pathak? You have written Pathak, instead of Patel :))) – Not trying to find faults.. I was just wondering! Because I personally used to like Supriya Pathak when she was a regular on television! 🙂

     Coincidentally, I read this article by HR Venkatesh, who is a CNN-IBN correspondent. He has writen about the same thing that we are talking about – about Kannada not been spoken in Bangalore, etc. It is a very interesting article – this is the link – http://www.ibnlive.com/blogs/blog_entry.php?id=7413&author_id=161

777. http://www.ibnlive.com/blogs/blog_entry.php?id=7413&author_id=161
     — correct link.

778. Thanks for the correction 🙂

     It was just a typo.

     Any ways, both are SP ;), U know, Im really poor in remembering names.

779. Sorry.. the link is not getting published correctly on the page, and I tried to paste the entire article but it is getting held up in moderation.

     Will try again later.

780. IBN Blog :

     Kannada vs Tamil, English vs Hindi

     Ever spoken in Kannada when asking for a film ticket in one of the theatres in Bangalore’s M G Road area?

     If you have, you might have experienced what I did; a slight sense of embarrassment resulting in an immediate switch to English.

     I think this is part of the Tamil vs Kannada, English vs Hindi syndrome in Bangalore, and it affects just about everyone.

     You probably have felt something like this too; if you’ve lived in Bangalore for a while. You’ve probably either been the initiator, or have been at the receiving end of a sort of parochialism, like in the Oscar-winning film Crash.

     Let me put down something before I proceed further – I’m a Bangalorean in the sense that I am a Kannadiga and grew up in the city until I left at the age of 21. That was about 6 years ago.

     I was your typical ‘mannina maga’, somewhat scared of asserting my roots when I was younger and have in the last 5 years or so, begun embracing Kannada.

     Being Kannadiga

     There is a simmering discontent among Kannadigas here; after all they are a marginalized lot in Bangalore. Some surveys peg the Kannadiga population at 31 percent in Bangalore.

     Add to this the fact that Bangalore is the capital of Karnataka or ‘Kannada Nadu’, and you see where the anger is coming from.

     Forum in Koramangala, Garuda Mall in Margrath Road or Bangalore Central near Mayo Hall are the preferred hang-out zones for many in the city these days. Walk down the aisles or up the escalators in these gleaming steel monsters and you will not hear much Kannada spoken.

     I believe there are two major reasons for this: native Bangaloreans (Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, etc.) still prefer to shop in a Jayanagar 4th block or a Malleswaram 8th cross, so most people in malls are usually ‘fresh of the boat’ and almost always from the North of the Vindhyas. Two, Kannadigas still tend to speak in English in public. There is some sense of shame, embarrassment or some other emotion at work here.

     Tamil vs Kannada

     For most Bangaloreans this issue is, as they say, as old as the hills. Kannadigas and Tamilians have been fighting in public and have been friends in private for many a decade in ‘nammooru’. I’ve had many friends, but for some quirky reasons, all my close friends in Bangalore have been Tamilians.

     During the Cauvery riots in the early 90s we didn’t have any issues. Yet, this is one struggle that I expect will go on for a while, because there appears to be historical reasons behind the divide. Janaki Nair’s excellent piece Battles for Bangalore: Reterritorialising the City sums it up rather neatly:

     “More striking were the linguistic and cultural distinctions between the zones, since the Cantonment had attracted a large number of camp followers from Tamil speaking areas of the neighbouring Madras Presidency. Consequently, the Kannada language’s restricted presence in the city was only altered in two decades of somewhat spectacular demographic growth, the decade of 1941-1951 when the population grew by 100 per cent, and the decade of 1971-81 when the city grew by 76 per cent. The city drew more migrants from districts within the state after the 1950s, significantly altering the linguistic map of the city”

     So Tamilians can claim to have as much a right on Bangalore as Kannadigas. It is true though, that many Tamilians prefer to speak in their native tongue, even while talking to Kannadigas.

     Try asking for directions in Frazer town. But equally, Kannadigas lose no opportunity in clamouring for the city to ‘swept clean of Tamils’.

     I actually think the whole Tamil vs Kannada issue is not such a big deal. Some people (not all of them politicians) tend to manipulate the residents of Bangalore to suit their own purposes.

     English vs Hindi

     If there is one issue that unites all Bangaloreans, it is the sight of someone from the cow belt, clamouring for directions in Hindi, and expecting to be answered back in their tongue.

     I was once tempted into asking a couple of slightly rude teenagers on a bike to speak in English. These days, Hindi is spoken pretty much everywhere in Bangalore. The prevailing feeling here has been more elegantly paraphrased before, but let me interpret it rather plainly: ‘just because Hindi is the national language, it doesn’t give anyone the right to expect a South Indian or Bengali to speak Hindi in Bangalore.’

     Make no mistake, I don’t think anyone wants a polarized world. As for me, I certainly don’t dislike Hindi; after all I work in Delhi and have picked up Hindi. And like many Bangaloreans I like good Tamil songs, would love to be able to speak Telugu and Malayalam. In an ideal world, I’d like us Bangaloreans to be as we once were as kids. My mum would watch Mukta or Moodala Mane on ETV Kannada with as much enthusiasm as Kasauti Zindagi Ki on Star Plus. And I would proudly tell my cousins from America that only in Bangalore would you find people speaking at least three tongues!

790. We can all talk about it, but Hari Prasad (though I’ve never met him personally) has been one of the quietest and most effective modern revolutionaries who has gone far beyond it…

     Have a look at this press meet – though there are many others as well, he’s been one of the key guys behind it…

     http://msanjay.weblogs.us/entries/315/press-meet-and-a-gathering-of-kannada-wikipedians

     Btw another related piece of news is this…
     http://msanjay.weblogs.us/entries/317/317

     In general…
     http://msanjay.weblogs.us/entries/category/info/kannada/

     Btw Shruti, sorry the site was giving you some trouble, I don’t know why. But I managed to find the link somehow and then corrected it in your post 🙂

     The article looks good, I haven’t read it in detail though, will read it later. But I don’t agree with the initial part…

     Ever spoken in Kannada when asking for a film ticket in one of the theatres in Bangalore’s M G Road area?

     If you have, you might have experienced what I did; a slight sense of embarrassment resulting in an immediate switch to English.

     This used to be the case long ago but nowadays I just speak in Kannada quite comfortably anywhere 😉 I feel it also requires a balanced approach, if the fellow genuinely dosen’t know Kannada there’s no point in really creating an inconvenient situation.

     On the other hand I get pissed off with people who know Kannada but don’t speak in it! 🙂 Even here, they may be simply be following the orders of their superior (since their livelihood depends on it) and may not necessarily reflect their own opinions. In general, I think we shouldn’t go by any generic rules – but act on a case-by-case basis.

     Esp off late Ive made sincere attempts (compared only to my attempts earlier, though still a lot of scope is there! 🙁 ) to promote [by reading/speaking/writing] Kannada but believe its very crucial never to lose the perspective of being fellow-human-beings. We should try to avoid our language becoming a cause for prejudices to build up…

     yeno sari no tappo… nanangansiddanna heeLidinappa… tammellarigu ugaadiya shubhaashayagaLu!! 😀

791. Thanks Girish for brining it to TNS sir’s notice. I am sure he will put his comments here soon considering Muktha shooting might have been completed by now and TNS sir might be relatively free.

     But the problem is, we have had enough pranksters here for us to beleive that its TNS himself 🙂 May be we have to resort to quizzing him his family members’ names 🙂

     And Srik, I agree with Shruthi and others that these days speaking in Kannada has increased. I think it was kind-of ‘fashion’ to speak in English in olden days, which now isn’t since almost everyone can speak (urban ppl that is). Also the awareness towards sustaining our language has increased with several forums such as e-mails, e-groups, blogs, sites coming into picture.

     Hi Raghavendra, yeah its definitely down to earth, reflecting what we see around us! Kumar its nice that you’ve voiced your thoughts about it – I’m totally with you that we need to spread the message and contribute more in our respective fields.

     Srik, thats a pretty cool update, thanks! Thats an interesting incident – it was really nice of that bookseller 🙂 Like others have voiced, I believe Kannada has indeed started to pick up.

     Pavan, thanks for the tip – does TNS walk there every day, what time? Anyway I dont want to idolise him as a celebrity, let him walk peacefully 8) if we are to meet him, maybe its better we do so at some other more convenient occasion 😉

     Anitha, those are good ideas. Maybe thanks to the Girish/Chaitanya TNS will actually take notice of this blog and comment here! 😀

795. Here is a short update of Wednesday

     Annapurnamma calls her lawyer and changes her will saying that she has lost trust in her daughter and son-in-law.

     CSP proves that the guys who were caught in the attempt to kill CSP are Rane’s shishyas, and he also has a snap which shows Jagan talking to Chhabria and Shivraj hegde in the court premises.
     He asks Rane if he has a second phone, but rane denies it. csp asks vimala to secretly call that number, and it rings in rane’s pocket. csp proves that it was the same number which rane denied having and it is the number he uses for shady purposes, and shivalingu had called this same number after the attempt on csp’s life. why would he, when rane claims that he did not even know shivalingu.

796. HEY EVERYONE!!

     I just thought I’d say
     HAPPY UGADI!!!!!!!!

     lol, ok, anyway, 😛 thats from me and my family! 😀 😉 😆 have a great day!

797. I have missed like, 2 episodes and so i really dont understand anyhing thats going on… HELP!! 😯 ARGGHH.
     I just started school again and havent been used to getting up and 5:45 yet. So tired.. so thats why i havent been able to watch bc i get so tired i end up waking at 6:30 and leaving 7:00 ohhhh……………….. 🙁 plz explain to me.. its from Tues – thurs

798. hi there ,
     i know mukta is a superlative serial,but i like “silli lalli” more than that b’cause it is hilarious as well enjoyable without any vulglarity or exposing or even overacting for that matter

799. hey ammu, thanks a lot, wish you and your mom and dad the same! I’m still waiting for your dad’s writeups on some vachanas that you were talking about… 🙂

     Now its much more convenient to wish each other through electronic means, sometimes I wonder if it becomes too impersonal 🙂 but anyway I got a nice SMS today…

     bevu bellada e shubhadinadi bevemba kahi bellavemba sihiyamunde kuggi balatumba savige tumbali, e hosa varsha baaLalli harshavannu tarali. ugadiya haardhika shubashayagaLu!

     Hope you get used to your new schedule soon! I remember what a drag it used to be to get back to the grind… bad news is it dosen’t get better after we grow up and have to get back to work after a few holidays 🙁 The summary of the story so far is basically that CSP is extracting Rane’s entire hopelessly corrupt jaatka in the court! 😆

     Rajesh I’ve watched silly lalli quite a few times, its pretty good and very light. I don’t think one compare a comedy serial with a real life kind of serial – its like comparing apples and oranges 🙂

801. This SMS was sent by a very close friend… this one I didnt feel was impersonal at all… since it started with Dear Sanjay 🙂 WOW I think it takes real time and patience – and love – to seperately write out the name of each person we send an SMS to! This I would say is the real bridge between technology and humans!

802. Thursday – 30th

     Manmohan tells his mom Indira that he never wanted to marry Supriya. She and her parents always spoke like i will have a political future only due to them. Supriya also never expressed faith in my abilities, she just felt that it was due to marrying her that her father would support me in my career. I did not like that attitude. ON the other hand, Arundhati always had faith in me. I am sorry I brought up Aru again, but don’t worry, I am not so weak that i cannot forget her. But i keep feeling that without her, something is missing in life. I will go and speak to her again, and tell her that I am not marrying supriya.. she might agree. Indira is happy, first she apologises that she had been blinded and she did not see recognize manmohan’s abilities, and she had blindly depended on Supriya’s father to lead him in politics. She also says that Aru is a very nice girl and she will be happy to see both of them married.

     Arundhati is sitting on the bed silently, Gowri calls to find out if she reached safely, and she advises her to think once more about saying Yes to Pramod Kumar. Gowri says that Manmohan had just called inquiring about Arundhati, as he found her mobile switched off. Arundhati says she has thought about it carefully, and she is sure about it. But she starts crying. When Gowri asks if she is crying, she pretends that Anupama is calling her and hangs up the phone quickly, and then she cries a lot. Then Manmohan’s call comes on her phone, she wipes her tears and picks it up. Manmohan is very happy, he says he wants to meet her at the earliest, as he has great news, and he wants to tell it to her. Aru says no, she is busy that day, but she will meet him the next day. Manmohan is very disappointed, but he says, ok, tomorrow is the day i have been waiting for all my life.. you have to spend the entire day with me. She agrees.
     She goes to Pramod Kumar’s house, where she is silent. she remembers words.. what Indira told her (to get married quickly), what Gowri said, what Manmohan said (about some great news)… but she finally steels herself and says, I am ready to marry you. Pramod Kumar is delighted. She says, my family had some problems in the beginning, but then they said, do whatever u like. But they are worried about your divorce. So Pramod Kumar says, I will never marry you without getting a divorce. There is a final hearing on Monday, I talked to my father in law, he said my wife is ready for the divorce, there should be no problem.

     Court scene. CSP continues interrogation of Rane. He says, according to prosecution case, SKD was going to PUshpagiri for party meeting on the day of Jalakanteshwara Jaathre. His phone was with Brahmachar, and Brahmachar says that there was a call from Madhavi Patel around 9 15, and Brahmachar gave the phone to SKD, and according to that, SKD asked him to drive to the jaathre. CSP says that according to SKD, the phone was from Rane’s shishya Krishna Nayak, asking him to come to the jaathre as there is an emergency, with people rioting, and only SKD can bring it under control. Rane says this is nonsense, as Krishna Nayak was with him throughout. CSP produces the itemised phone bill and shows that on that day, to SKD’s cell, there was only one call between 7 30 to 10 30, and that was at 9 15, from the same number – which is Rane’s shady dealings number. Rane has given the cell to Krishna Nayak and asked him to call. Rane has no answer.

803. Court scenes end with this ‘famous’ one liner..
     Baappa Basavaraju, idanna mark madu 8)

804. Ok Ok Chaitanya,

     I will give you my name ,my name is Nandini Sitram’s wife is my mothers sister.Uncle and everyone at home call me Nanda.:)My Aunt’s name is Geetha,he has a son Sathyajith and daughter Ashwini.
     Ok bye for now I dont think I have to keep proving myself again and again.:)

     Ellari UGAADIYA HAARDIKA SHUBHASHAYAGALU.WISH ALL OF YOU A VERY PROSPEROUS YEAR AHEAD

805. Nandini,

     We believe you 100% now! Like I had mentioned, there were enough pranksters earlier for us to believe anybody. Can you believe Abhishek Bachchan watching mukta daily? Well he had posted so, here… 🙂

     Sanjay, I really loved the line ‘sihi irali kahi irali saviyo manavirali’ in the SMS greeting you received. Most greetings would say ‘sihi jasti irali, kahi kadime irali’ etc… but this one is close to reality that we cannot wish sihi always instead to take whatever we get in the right spirit!

     Chaitanya

806. This Arundhati stuff is seriously getting out of bounds.
     Sometimes I feel her character, started as a “Kittur Rani” is ending up being a dull, failure for TNS.
     Will wait to see where it ends.
     On the contrary, all the court scenes are getting interesting day by day, and making it the most awaited part of the show. Also, I like the way Manmohan has been groomed to be a self dependent man. His character is portrayed well, TNS has rarely shown a male characrter like this. Aru’s is the only miss interpretted ‘super lady’ character by TNS till date, i guess.

810. ’sihi irali kahi irali saviyo manavirali’ – beautiful indeed. I got this sms too.. I agree with Chaitanya – its the best wish anybody can give.

     Oh don’t worry Srik, when Manmohan talks to Arundhati the next day, she will cry and feel unhappy about why she was in such a hurry to say “yes” to Pramod Kumar… But I think the problem will get solved because I think Pramod Kumar’s wife will ultimately say “no” to the divorce, and then Aru and Manmohan can happily get together. Though I hope it happens soon and is not dragged too much.

811. one of the greatest serial i had ever seen in my life.

     it deals with reality honesty,kindness & more about knowledge. i love this serial so much.

     i have so many questins to ask mr.tnsitaram

813. I bet, It wont be that easy, Shruti,
     Arundati will spoil the fun of this serial.

814. OK. I got it now.
     When I relate that Sanjay’s SMS, its like :
     Sihi is the other part of Muktha and Aru is the Kahi.
     Sihi ide, Kahi ide, Eradannoo saviya beku nodugaru..

     Well… lets enjoy both sihi and kahi of Muktha.

815. ok there’s something odd about the internet ip lookup thing… its quite unreliable, so Nandini could well have been from Bangalore as well like she’d said.

     I shouldn’t have posted that link about it pointing to Australia. Sorry I had to delete one reaction to that, and one more comment by Nandini which was a kind of serious and sentimental reaction to that comment as well – to avoid things propogating and becoming a complicated personal issue.

     Not that I disbelieved her entirely but I was just mildly sceptical, but its a good lesson to not get into trusting machines too much, more than people !

816. ಸ೦ಜಯ. ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ಬನ್ನಿ.
     It so happens nowadays that I dont watch muktha at 9 with seriousness. at 11, it becomes more interesting as my daughter would have slept.
     Guys, seriously, I am thinking of a get together amongst us. atlease all bangaloreans can join and have a cup of coffee and thus make our non bangalore friends to feel itchy.
     I think muktha will be over by may-jun. lets meet in April itself. Sanjay, some one needs to initiate.

817. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
     wwahhhh…. I’m not coming to India til December!!!!!!!!! I can’t meet any of you. bad bad bad bad 🙁
     Too many court scenes… I don’t really sit and watch it the way I used to..In fact today I was so happy 😆 (I watched Friday’s today) that CSP finally sed That’s all your honour… Oh well, If you guysend up meeting,
     TAKE A PHOTO!!
     Well, cya!
     Keep 😛 !!

818. Its a nice idea to meet and have a “samvada” of the members of this site.

819. Update for Friday – March 31st.

     Rane denies having known Driver Devaraju previously. But CSP shows a letter from Rane to the then home minister Arunachalamurthy saying that “Devaraj nange bekaaddavaru, and he is an excellent driver, so please give him a temporary job with Madhavi Patel”, and this was done exactly 15 days before the murder. Rane changes his statement and says, no no, I dont know Devaraj that well, I just know his father. So CSP says, what’s his father’s name? Rane thinks and guesses “Muniraju”. CSP proves that it is “Yatiraju”… and he says that Rane did not know him at all… he is just lying. Then he says how do u know he is a good driver, Rane says that he was my driver for a while. So CSP pounces on him and says, “Then why did you deny knowing him, at first?” Rane has no answer.

     CSP gets the list of underworld goons released by the Mumbai police, and shows Devaraj also in that list. He is listed as a sharpshooter. He asks Rane why he gave a letter of reference to Devaraj who is an underworld gangster? At this time, Rane, Chhabria and Devaraj are sweating. Rane says, my theory is that it was Devaraj who committed the murder.

     CSP asks to play the video that Chitra channel had taken during the jaathre, which Suryavamshi had played before. In that video, When AM and MP get into the van, Rane runs round to the driver, tells him something, and then winks at the driver. CSP shows that clippage a number of times. Then he says, why would a minister wink at a driver? He was just signing to him to finish off AM and MP.

     Needless to say, everybody is left sweating.

     CSP says, “That’s all your honour!: 🙂
     ____________________________________________________________

     Sanjay, nice snaps of the Muktha Title page, and of TNS 🙂

820. I’m back to hyd after a week long stay @ namma bengaluru. I spoke to Sanjay and i found him to be a down to earth person. Hats off to you Sanjay i felt really nice talking to you last week.

     I cud watch muktha serial along with my parents, chikappa chikamma,akka bhava and aliya and sosae. That brought more joy to me.

     I missed out a lot of discussions but still cudn’t find time to read them.

821. What I did not understand is that, even after CSP mentions that Driver Devaraju is a ‘Supari Killer’ from Bombay underworld, and his name is in the ‘wanted’ list (shows a circular in this regard), the police wont arrest Devaraju, nor did the Judge order the police to arrest him immediately.

822. Avinash, I agree with you. I wondered about that too. Does anybody have any explanations?

     Prasanna, great that you had a good time at namma bengaluru 🙂

823. Devaraju is already in the police custody as a witness . Moreover the police needs a confirmation from the Mumbai Police saying that Devaraju belongs to Underworld and has to be arrested.

824. > CSP asks to play the video that Chitra channel had taken
     > during the jaathre, which Suryavamshi had played before.

     The moment CSP asks, Suryavamshi immediatly jumps up and raises an objection! Then CSP says “yaakri objectionnu?? ee tape na neeve courtge introduce maaDiddu! eeeeg yaaaakri objectionnu???” and the objection is overruled!

     —-

     Wrt pictures above, thanks Shruti 🙂 They can be clicked to get a full sized image.

     Avinash, even I was wondering the same… also whether that chap will continue coming to court or be absconding in further episodes 😉

     Prasanna, too bad you couldn’t make it to Malleswaram… anyway it was really nice for me as well talking to you on phone atleast!

     Anyway seeing I think we should seriously plan a get together! Amruta, don’t worry I’ll take some snaps!

     ——

     Some technical details for those interested:

     Photos: Photographed the TV with a camera (other alternative to get a perfect image is to use a computer itself – using TV Tuner Card we can take capture stills – but for this I’ve got to get a parallel cable connection to my TV which I’m currently faaar too lazy to get around doing). Have to figure out a way to remove the distortions in the snaps… maybe with some time a tool like gimp would help… or maybe they could be taken with some better camera settings. It was just some initial experimentation, might try other things later (or if anyone else tries, you can email me your results).

     samvaada: I have an idea for setting up a simple page to help us with logistics like counting votes, suggesting (and voting on the suggestions – for venue) etc. Maybe I’ll finally learn PHP* – I’ve been planning to do so for ages. If I don’t make it by Wednesday then we can go the conventional way and use emails and post suggestions here etc.

     PHP is a simple scripting/programming language for the internet. This whole website (wordpress) is based on PHP – though I got it as a free open source application so haven’t programmed anything much myself. For more details… search for PHP or wordpress in this site (search box in top right corner) or on google.

825. Where is Sadanand Patel missing from so many days? None of them seem to even remember his character… There was an arrest warrant on his name but police does not seem to shed any light on him (Actually TNS!!!) 😀

826. Sanjay,the snaps are really cool.
     >From the ‘CSP’ snaps (check clock wise from the top left corner) one can see wit/intellect,hatred towards crime & criminals,joy/triumph and commitment for justice.
     >From the ‘Rane’ snaps one can see shame written all over his face and the second snap shows him in introspection /fear.

827. Shridhar, nice interpretation of TNS’s expressions :))
     But I think Rane’s expression does not signify “shame”… I don’t think he even knows the meaning of that word 😀

828. Pavan, very poetic …and apt!

     heh heh Shruti, actually Rane would know the meaning of shame… only thing is he has always been hiding it not only from others but even himself also. In a very strange way, CSP is actually helping him. But now even at times when he does feel some kind of shame, he quickly recovers and reverts back to his usual facade – his show of complete false-confidence. I find it amazing the way he often portrays himself as a heaven-sent duty-conscious chap who always does the most selfless, righteous, patriotic actions 😈 Nowadays this is reducing though…

     He definitely deserves the best-villain award!! 8)

829. ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ,
     “ಮುಕ್ತ”ದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪ್ರತಿದಿನ ಮಾತುಕತೆ, ಅದು ಸೈಬರ್ ಸ್ಪೇಸ್‍ನಲ್ಲಿ….? ನಿಮ್ಮೆಲ್ಲರ ಹಾಗೆ,ನಾನೂ ಮುಕ್ತವನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿದಿನ ನೋಡುತ್ತೇನೆ.೯ ಘಂಟೆಗೆ ನೋಡ್ಲಿಕ್ಕೆ ಆಗದಿದ್ದರೆ,೧೧ ಘಂಟೆಗಂತು ಯಾವುದೇ ಕಾರಣಕ್ಕು ತಪ್ಪಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. :-). ಹಿಂದಿಯ “ಕ್ಯೋಂಕಿ ಸಾಸ್ ಭಿ ಬಹು ಥಿ”ಯ ಕೋರ್ಟ್ ಸನ್ನಿವೇಶಗಳನ್ನು(ಅಮ್ಮ ನೋಡ್ತಾರೆ) ಮುಕ್ತದ ಜೊತೆ ಹೋಲಿಸಿದಾಗ, ಟಿ ಎನ್ ಸೀತರಾಮ್‍ನವರ ಮಹತ್ವ , ಮತ್ತು ಕೋರ್ಟ್ ಸನ್ನಿವೇಶಗಳನ್ನು ನೈಜವಾಗಿ ತೋರಿಸಲು ಅವರು ಪಟ್ಟ ಶ್ರಮ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗುತ್ತದೆ….
     well done T N S!

830. Hi All… Hope some of u atleast remember me.. Hope I can be as regular as I was earlier…And very soon at that… I really missed visiting this site… Bye all…

831. Manmohan is waiting on a betta with a bunch of red roses, smiling and dreaming. ARundhati comes there, looking good for a change. Both of them tell each other, “Yenu vishaya, neev first heLi, neev first heLi”. Manmohan tosses a coin but it falls off the cliff. Finally Arundhati herself starts speaking. Arundhati start saying, you are a good friend, very close to me, yellarigintha ayogya iddavaru eega yellarigintha yogya, and she praises him to the skies. Manmohan smiles and blushes. Then Aru continues, I know you will understand that i have your best intentions at heart, I am going away from you. Manmohan is shocked, asks what she means, she tells him that she is marrying Pramod Kumar. The bunch of red roses fall off from the cliff. Manmohan has tears. Aru is obviously disturbed, she cries, she speaks some more nonsense and then pushes off without even waitijng to listen to what Manmohan has to say.

     At home, Manmohan is crying, Indira comes, comforts hm, asks him what happened. HE tells her everything. He says that he did not even have the opportunity to tell her that he is not marrying Supriya. Indira is shocked, says, its all because of me, and she tells him that she was the one who went and told Aru to get married soon and all that. She offers to go and speak to Aru again. Manmohan says no, I think fate does not want me to have her. She would not have accepted Pramod Kumar had she not liked him, she is not that kind of a girl, blah blah.

     Rane, Chhabria and SS drinking and talking. [Why are villains always shown drinking?]. Chhabria is worried, accuses Rane of standing like a kuri in the court. Rane says, you will understand when you are in that place. He picked on points totally unrelated to the case, which I had nto even expected, for example, how I won elections, and about South AFrica… How should I know what to say? He has all evidence. I had to accept it. Chhabria says, SS just put Rane on witness stand, it was not necessary. SS explains that it was necessary. Chhabria says, he is saying he has more evidence against me, if I go as a witness, we will get properly caught. I will go off to France saying I have a board meeting. SS says, if you do that, our guilt will be obvious, and you cannot even do that. Don’t worry I will make sure that you do not go to the witness stand.

     ____________________________________________________________
     [sorry I was very cynical in the first para… but I was quite irritated 😀 – two people who obviously love each other standing in front of each other, with no barriers, still are not able to communicate effectively!]

     Pavan, sorry, I said “Shridhar” instead of “Pavan” in the previous comment!

     Hi Diya! HOpe to have you back soon! And who can forget Lady CSP? 😀

     Hi Shiva, welcome 🙂

     Sanjay, great analysis of Rane’s character 😀

832. First, Aru’s sacrifice for the sake of Manmohan’s “Bhavishya”, and now… MM’s sacrifice for the “Santosha” of Aru. What more is in the offing? Anyone can explain why is it so?!!!!

833. Aru’s Sacrifice is going beyond contention. She has made a fool of herself. I think TNS shouldn’t have made us feel that some of the episodes are not worth watching. Manmohan too is i dont know why depicted like this, a person who is a Dy CEO for a Co shouldn’t have been portrayed like its shown.

834. oh boy yesterday my friend came and happened to watch the serial and I had no defence for all his accusations that I was hooked on to some soap serial 😀 …why he came yesterday of all days!

     Manmohan is waiting on a betta with a bunch of red roses… and he is giving them to her proposing to her very boldly. Then they show that she wasn’t there at all! Not that there’s any comparison, but this kind of reminded me of that famous scene in the movie bandana where Vishnuvardhan proposes to an imaginary ‘Ms Nandini’ (Suhasini) 🙂 Anyway I guess in this case the communication problem is a bit exaggerated !

     > a person who is a Dy CEO for a Co shouldn’t have been portrayed like
     Btw I’d say even Dy CEOs or CEOs have their moments of weaknesses… there’s some gaade… urallella huli, maneyalli ili (or something like that)

     namaskaara Shiva!

     Diya, yaar neevu?? ee hesaru yellooooo keLdhaagidyalla… 😉

     Btw I happened to speak to Sitaram’s neice Nandini on phone yesterday. She was a very shy lady and asked me not to mention it but I think if not any details I should atleast mention that she was an authentic person so no more “mild sceptism” from me!

835. Sanjay, that one is a nice comparison, to bandhana’s ‘nodri miss nandini…’. It is a hilarious scene from the great movie. Coincidentally, Arundati’s real name is also nandini!

     Yes a bad day to boast on mukta while watching yesterday’s episode. Some how mukta in these last few weeks is slowly going from ‘ayyo mugdoyta…’ to ‘sadhya mugitu’. Sigh!

     Chaitanya

836. hi

     ofcorse we are from b,lore itself.
     but we are very interested in mukta.
     now the yesterdays episode was very xlent.
     specially the conversation of manmohan & arundhathi.
     we are very impressed.we have to congratues them.
     can we get their mail ids?
     our mail ids are
     prashanth_g@discdriveindia.com
     sunitha_yadav@discdriveindia.com

837. Today we found out whom one was being sidelined as prankster is not an authentic prankster.

     Sorry Ma’am nimanna yavado drishti nalli nododikke.

838. Check this link: A TNS interview that got published in DH.

     http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/mar122006/enter102582006310.asp

     I have pasted an excerpt from the article which tries to answer Chaitanya’s query.

     “Does he not tire of this exercise and long for a serial to get over? “Oh, I’ve felt like that so many times! I have been asking ETV to allow me to conclude Muktha for the past one year. But they did not want to! Also, it’s not so easy: nearly 70 people directly depend on me for their livelihood. I would not call this creative work – it becomes creative only incidentally. ”

839. Pavan, that was a very good interview – thanks for the link!
     I did not know that TNS had written the screenplay and dialogue for the movie Manasa Sarovara!
     He has undergone many hardships in life… he deserves this success and adulation!

840. Only things remaining to settle now are MM and Arundhati’s marriage and punishing the guilty in AM murder case. Now Chhabria is the last person to be examined. I think cross-examining Chhabria will go for two weeks. Also Gauri might end up adopting her Boss’s grand-daughter. So I think Mukta might end this month or early next month.
     I wish him all the best to TNS for his next movie. Hope the movie become successfull commercially too.

841. Oops!!! why did my previous comments shown that way!!
     There dont seem to be a way to edit the comments.
     Sanjay please ‘println’ my previous comment 🙂

842. Pavan that was a fantastic write up. he mentions about many things about which i never knew.

     It proves that there is no shortcut to success and every people who have worked Hard has achieved the success.

843. Thanks Pavan for link. It was known since a few samvaadas that etv wants to drag the serial. But atleast it doesnt drag in the way the other serials do, like introducing new characters every alternate day and give some unimaginable twists in the story. Muktha is 100 times better in that way too!

     Avinash is right that it might end probably early may! Eagerly waiting for TNS’ next master piece. I heard his movie is tentatively titled ‘Mouna’. Looking forward to it!

     Chaitanya

844. >Caution:Bloggers are bound to experience a withdrawal syndrome once this serial ends 🙁
     >Nevertheless the serial has left behind many pleasant memories in the minds of its viewers.
     >One of the best things about this serial was the viewers one to one with the makers of muktha.This has contributed to the changing saga of the serial.Reminds me of comic books where readers were given choices at the end of the page to switch/change the storyline.Adds a thrill…

845. Update of 4th April episode.

     Gowri meets with Annapoornamma (AP) to check her health. Gowri hands over the 3lac cash that Aru had taken from her to help a friend. AP thanks her and applauds Aru and her family that they go to any extent to help friends and she was confident that her friend would return the money. Gowri get a call that people are waiting for the board meeting and she has to leave. AP asks her to meet her again in the evening as she has something important to discuss.

     Aru visits PK who is in a very good mood. He tells her that there is a reason for his happiness. He had a childhood friend and both of them were aspirants of movies. PK always wanted to be a hero and his friend, a director. Later his friend joined MIT in US for studies and got settled there. Many years later, after PK had become a big hero, his friend advices him to make a science fiction movie based on a book. PK did so in kannada, with great difficulties, which eventually became a flop. Later when his friend visited PK, he took the reels of the movie added CGI (Computer Graphics) and showed it in US to film people, who now have shown interest in the movie and have bought the rights for $10 million of which PK’s share is $5million. PK thanks Aru that it’s because of her that his luck has turned.

     Gowri visits AP who mentions her about writing her hospital, food products company etc to Chinmayi’s name and Gowri would be the guardian to both chinmayi and the companies. Gowri initially rejects but agrees when AP insists on her. AP also says she has given enough to her daughter also and Gowri need not worry about them.

     Court Scene: Judge calls for the next witness from prosecution. SS mentions that he completed his case and no more witnesses for which CSP objects and insists that Chabria be called upon as he is a prime witness and his name is listed in charge sheet. SS says its prosecutions prerogative to call any witness or not. Judge while agreeing to SS, asks him specific reasons. SS says that Chabria suffered a heart attack and is hospitalized right now and moreover he has nothing new to say about the case. Judge mentions to CSP that he has no rights to call for any witness and its up to prosecution. CSP haplessly agrees. Judge asks CSP to continue cross-examination of driver and Sandhya Mangalvade. CSP says he has nothing to cross examine the driver but would cross examine SM. Judge calls SM to box. SM takes oath.

846. Tuesday – Apr 4 – Update

     Annapurnamma looks very sick, lying on the bed, talking to Gowri. Gowri tells her about Arundhati’s decision. Annapurnamma asks her to come in the evening, she wants to tell her something important. In the evening, she looks better, she tells Gowri that she had originally planned to split her aasti between Chinnu and Madhuvanti. Now she has decided that it would be between Chinnu and Gowri. Gowri is shocked, says no, she does not want to be known as someone who has snatched Aasti from Madhuvanti. Annapurnamma says, no, I will give her also some money.. don’t worry. Also, she wants Gowri to be Chinnu’s guardian. She then asks Gowri to sing as she feels like listening to it, and she closes her eyes and listens to Gowri singing.

     Pramod Kumar (PK) is very happy, he is humming, when Aru asks him what happened. He says, he has just received news that he got 5 million dollars. His childhood friend went to MIT to study, and then he wanted to make a movie, and connected to it, PK got the money.
     [I did not watch this part in detail.. I had stepped out for a while – so I don’t know the details.. can somebody provide the details?]
     Anyway, he attributes this piece of good luck to the luck brought by Aru.

     Court. Judge asks who the next witness is, and SS says that that is all from prosecution side. CSP protests, says, what about Chhabria? SS says, it is entirely up to the prosecutor to decide which witness to produce, it is not your choice. Judge says that is true, but asks for a reason. SS produces doctor’s certificate and says that Chhabria got a major heart attack previous night, and is in ICU in hospital. Judge agrees to it. CSP is disappointed, cynical, but he has to accept. Judge asks him to cross-examine two witnesses he had left out – Driver Devraj and Sandhya M. CSP refuses to cross-examine Devaraj. Everybody is surprised. Judge asks him to think twice, coz he is a key witness, in fact the only eyewitness. CSP now has a very strange look on his face – combination of amusement, cynicism, mistrust, mischief, mystery – don’t know what to say – and he says, that No, there is no need, but if required, i will examine him after Sandhya M, anyway he is in custody. Judge agrees, and SM takes the stand and is sworn in.

847. Thanks Chaitanya – I am sorry, I had not seen that you had provided the update already 🙂 We seem to have posted it at almost the same time.
     Actually, since morning, I was not able to access this site… was getting an error message. that is why the delay.

848. Thats OK Shruthi. I somehow had this sixth sense tell me that some one else is also typing the update now 🙂 Hence refreshed the page atleast 20 times while typing, before and after and still wanted to try my luck! Ended up being the first one to put the update, he he he 😀

     Chaitanya
     PS: its difficult to find time for me before 11am and hence I stay away from updating.

849. It is nice to read all about MUKTA. Perhaps for the first time in Kannada Television a kind of frenzy is being kicked up by a television serial. Can anyone talk anything from 21.00 hours to 21.30 hours? That is what I call frenzy. I thank TNS. You know, TNS likes some men. But all women like him. And the proof? Just watch the serial.

850. Its like getting to read about the same event in the newspaper by different correspondents 🙂

851. Yesterday’s episode was really boring, exception was , song sung by Gowri. 🙁

852. I liked the song of Gouri very much.

     One part of it said
     “Panjaradolidabahude giliyanu
     …” and meant We can just keep the bird in a cage, and feed it to satisfaction. But, is, only eating a few grains, the purpose of life for it?!! “Tori karuneyanu”..

     If some one happen to remember it, please post it and get 1 crore thanks from me;).
     – Srik.

853. lyrics: NS Lakshminarayana Bhatta

     ninta neera kalaka bedi kallugaLe
     hoo daLagaLa iriyabedi mullugaLe

     baaLalu bidi tammastake summane

854. I did not understand these 2 lines ….

     “yaava jeeva yaava novigEdu
     yaava bhaavanemmi adara paadu”

     Can somebody explain

855. here it is Chaitanya,
     thanks(1) thanks(2) thanks(3) ……..thanks(1crore).

     Its a wonderful poem.

856. And anitha,
     those lines overall meant, i think, we should not be deciding what the purpose of a life here. Let it live its purpose and let it play with its light.

     How true na? We often meddle with our own lives, pushing it to stagnancy, we wont work towards our purpose, we never try to find our purpose. First of all we shud show ‘maruka’ for our lives!! Its really a beautiful piece by NSL.

857. Thanks a ton Chaitanya ! Reference to the parrot reminds me of my pet parrot of long ago! Nice comments on purpose Srik… makes sense (Btw I too had same question as Anitha 🙂 )

     prashanth & sunitha, good that atleast somebody appreciated those episodes! I doubt if TNS, etc even check any email… you could ask your questions here, maybe someone somewhere will eventually convey atleast a printed copy of these pages 😀

     No idea why the website was down for quite a while today.

858. Overview of yesterday’s episode:
     ——————————–
     In part1, GG informs to her family about her boss Annapurnamma’s health and her (Annapurnamma’s) decision to give 40% of her properties.
     In Part 2, CSP cross-examine SM, about her way of investigation. He doubts her investigation was not in a proper way as the investigation was just to follow what seemed to be obvious and not looking for beyond the obvious (TCS!!! 🙂 ).
     In Part 3, CSP tells hers that he has proved that MP and SKD have not committed the crime and he has also shown that there were possibilities that Rane and Chhabria might have committed the crime. SM disagrees and tell CSP that she dont think CSP has proved anything in this regard. Then CSP start to prove again all those points including the Newton’s first law.

     SM seemed to be confident while answering to CSP. We have towait and watch when ( and on what point) will CSP make her sweat.

     This is just an overview, wait for Shruthi/Chaitanya’s detailed report.

859. Thanks Srik for the explanation…
     But I am not able to read it properly …

     yaava jeeva yaava novigEdu
     yaava bhaavanemmi adara paadu

     Can somebody post these two lines as kannada script (using baraha)

     I was able to understand the first two paragraphs and it is a lovely poem.

860. Chaitanya that lyrics has a very deep meaning. I was wondering did you write it down while gowri was singing or you already knew it .

     Do you have any Background of our Kannada Sathiya ???

861. Hello,
     Want to listen to the song “ninta neera” sung by Gowri ? Idu lakshmi narayana battara adbutha geete Here is the link for it
     http://www.udbhava.com/udbhava/songs.jsp?id=423

     Feel the song !!!

862. Update of court scene –

     Basically CSP tries to get SM to accept that she was led astray in her investigations. But she is adamant that that is not the case. She says she follows Arthur Conan Doyle’s grandson’s book on crime and investigation, and CSP says that according to that book, whatever is obvious should be disregarded. But she still does not accept that her line of investigation was wrong.

     CSP says that if it looks like B killed A, but if it is proven that C kiilled A, doesn’t it mean that B is innocent? SM accepts that, but she says, you have not proved definitely that B did not kill A or that C killed A. There are evidences against both of them. But the motive of MP is stronger… so I took that line of investigation. She says that whatever CSP has done till now is point out discrepancies. She says that there are discrepancies in every case… if a case is 100 pc foolproof, then something is wrong.

     CSP tries to prove one point, that the car and AM’s body should have been lying in a splayed motion according to the laws of physics, with the car to the right and AM to the left, as AM was sitting towards left. But SM says, I have thought about it, you yourself say that by the time the car fell, both its doors were open. So AM did not fall from the left, he fell through the right, that’s all.

     SS is very happy, CSP just smiles.

     ____________________________________________________________

     Chaitanya/Sanjay/Anybody-else, can you please give the detailed update today? I could manage only so much…. We were stuck in a traffic jam, came very late to office, and I have lots of work!

     Also, tonight I am going out of town, so I cannot give the update for both Thursday and Friday! I will continue from Monday. Thanks!

863. Srik,
     for(i = 1 to crore)
     {
     “You are welcome”;
     }

     🙂 and thanks for the wonderful explanation too!

     Prasanna, I am not entirely into kannada sahitya, but only to the extent of bhaavageethe, I suppose. Used to sing this song since childhood, now just refreshed the lyrics with the help of Gowri and musicindiaonline 🙂

     Anitha, here it is the song in baraha fonts.

     song: nintha neera
     lyrics: NS Lakshminarayana Bhatta
     font: brh kannada

     ನಿಂತ ನೀರ ಕಲಕ ಬೇಡಿ ಕಲ್ಲುಗಳೇ
     ಹೂದಳಗಳ ಇರಿಯಬೇಡಿ ಮುಳ್ಳುಗಳೇ |
     ಏನಿದೆಯೋ ನೋವು ಅವಕೆ ತಮ್ಮದೇ
     ಬಾಳಲು ಬಿಡಿ ತಮ್ಮಷ್ಟಕೆ ಸುಮ್ಮನೇ ||

     ಪಂಜರದಲಿ ನೂಕಬಹುದೆ ಗಿಳಿಯನು
     ನೂಕಿ ಸುರಿದರೇನು ರಾಶಿ ಕಾಳನು |
     ತಿನ್ನುವುದೇ ಗುರಿಯೆ ಹೇಳಿ ಬಾಳಿಗೆ
     ಅದರ ಬಾಳ ಬಲಿಯೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಲೀಲೆಗೆ ||

     ಯಾವ ಜೀವ ಯಾವ ನೊವಿಗೇಡೋ
     ಯಾವ ಭಾವನೆಮ್ಮಿ ಅದರ ಪಾಡೋ |
     ಆಡಲು ಬಿಡಿ ತನ್ನೊಳಗಿನ ಬೆಳಕ
     ಇರಲಿ ಅದನು ಕುರಿತು ಚೂರು ಮರುಕ ||

864. Chaitanya, thanks a lot for the song in the Baraha font – I understood the song only after reading it in Kannada 🙂
     Very beautiful meaning!

865. Thank you so much Chaitanya …

     S.P. Balasubramanyam often says in “ede thumbi haduvenu” program that such wonderful Bhavageethe exists only in kannada language..

     Beautiful song.

866. Yes, very much true.
     every language will have such literature, but in Kannada they are as alive as the language itself, in day-to-day lives of a Kannadiga.

     Infact, Dasa Sahitya, vachana Sahitya and Bhavageete are the genuine gift of Kannada to the Indian literature.
     We should be really proud of (and thankful to)our Kavigalu for the special feeling one gets when listening to such songs.
     🙂

     Thanks again for a glimpse of such a feel on this site.

867. Heloo, for some reason have not been able to go to this site often… anywy, mum said we accidentally didnt record yesterday’s…with sandhya mangalvaade plz explain what happened 😉

868. d/w i saw update 😉

869. Todays Episode looks as a new twist to MUKTHA…. SM was in CSP’s office & was talking towards the MP&SKD. Dont miss this guys…. Shruthi i feel sorry 2 u as u wont be able to see today !!!!

870. Praveen where the heaven did you foresee the future of MUKTHA ?????

871. a very good effort of maintaining this online archive of Muktha… kudos for all the energy being spent in updating the storyline… guys, please dont break the chain it is most useful for me, as im currently out of india..

872. how to send comments in kannada language .. I am not able to.. I have installed baraha … and have activated baraha direct (as suggested by Sanjay in one of his post) and have chosen ANSI. I cannot chose unicode because it is not installed and I cannot install it on my m/c

873. Hey Praveen, where did u get this update (of today!!!). Are you from Mukta team?

874. Or did you see the trailor for today?

875. Normally , they show a clipping of the day’s episode , a day before .. I guess Praveen is talking about that

876. Anitha, you install the Baraha 6.0 by default it comes with the unicode with it. That makes your job easy

877. i have installed baraha 6.0

878. baraha 7.0 has been released
     ——————-
     It supports a lot more Indian languages and has many bugs fixed!

     Anitha which operating system do you use? Depending on that have a look at this: http://sampada.net/fonthelp Looks like you are able to read, so there shouldn’t be any problem actually. With unicode, there is no need of any seperate font installation – that is the biggest advantage! What is it that happens when you type? What dosen’t work?

     Praveen thanks for the headsup – will try not to miss it today (I went home late yesterday and fell asleep by mistake so missed 11 PM slot as well). Anyway could atleast read the story here 🙂

879. SM in the kaTTkaTe, CSP says “neevu sariyaagi investigation maaDilla… antha na heLthini” SM insists that she has done an unbiased investigation, and has studied the post mortem report properly. She asks if he wouldn’t mind if she said something, he approves. She says CSP thinks that he’s a very intelligent lawyer and SM has been foolishly misled. But reality is the other way round, she is the one who’s really intelligent – she’s seen a lot of cases like this – it is CSP who is misled. Yes, AM’s wound looks like an anti-mortem would – occured while he was alive. That they couldn’t have been inflicted after he was dead. But then, after a person is shot, it takes upto 2 minutes for a person to actually die. Then in CSP’s style she calls to Sushma ‘sushmaavare, aa law pusthka na togondbarthira’ and shows the relevant excerpt to him. And adds… “but it takes only 10 seconds for the car to fall down – due to the law of gravity. So he could’ve actually been dead before he fell out!” CSP is dumbfounded.

     Then she asks for the two uniforms to be brought – she says the other day you were questioning how come only the drivers uniform has blood but not on MP’s uniform? [grimaces and holds her head… she seems to be having a bad headache] …The fact is that after MP shot him, before the blood jumped up and fell down again, in just that moment she was out of the car, hence the blood fell only on the driver’s uniform. [she closes her eyes for a few moments holding her forehead] CSP is again clean bold, SS has a very gleeful expression.

     SM says that due to a very bad headache, she excuses herself from being further examined for the day and requests the court to defer it to the next day. The judge agrees, saying anyway its almost 5 oclock. Not that he has a choice, but CSP also meekly comments that since SM isn’t feeling well we can continue tomorrow… and adds ‘I assume its not out of fear’ and receives a cold glare from SM.

     ——–

     Its CSP’s office… CSP is reading some poetry aloud. SM is at the door.

     CSP’s jaws drop… “sandya mangaLavaade avare! honnond ganTe aagide…ee hot nalli??”

     SM: Can I disturb you for a while?

     CSP: Please sit down.

     SM:
     “nanage nijavaaglu talenovirlila, sumne ange act maaDde ashte. nimagu gottu nanagu gottu MP & SKD niraparaadigaLantha. aa driver kaLLa antha gotthaagle illa. atleast accident photo nanage noDdaga hoLibekaagittu. Like you said, my anger on MP made me get misled. But I don’t want that too come in the way of justice.

     [csp is perplexed]

     But you may wonder why I didn’t say it. Do you want me to say that CBI investigation went wrong and withdraw my investigation?

     I thought you were a very intelligent lawyer. You’ve very carefully unfolded the case and proved the innocence of SM and SKD, and also proved the guilt of Rane and Chabria . Definitely they will be acquitted and there will be new proceedings against Rane and Chabria and they’ll be sent to jail. So I kept quiet and didn’t say anything.

     But… you’re making a very big mistake by cross-examining me. Do you want SKD and MP to go to jail?? Do you want to prove a CBI investigation as false? For me and you they may be innocent, but as far as the CBI chiefs sitting in Delhi they are just a couple of criminals in a file who must be sent to jail. The public sentiment and other factors generally want those who are aquitted to go to jail, the benefit of doubt for their innocence has reduced. Do you think that SS will keep quiet? He will cook up more and more witnesses. Its come to my notice from SS that he’s cooking up two more eye witnesses who saw SM shoot them for the case. What will you do for such a witness. If I now start agreeing to your theory, they will say that I am part of this as well. So I had to demolish your theory. If you continue to cross examine me, I will have to demolish your theory. I may be on their side for everybody else, but at heart I’m on your side.”

     Then she looks straight in his eyes and says “I want justice”

     ——–

     The next day at the court, SM takes oath again.
     CSP pauses for a while… then says shaking his head that he has nothing more to ask.
     MP and SKD are shocked, so is the judge… who says “What?? Are you sure?” and CSP insists he is.
     The judge asks him if the prosecution has anything more, SS says “thats all your honor, I close my case” He looks kind of very perturbed and shaken.

     The judge says he’ll make his statement tomorrow.

880. ಈವಥು ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆಯಕ್ಕೆ ಆಗುತಾ ಇದೆ ….

     I am able to type today.. Not sure what was wrong yesterday. (There are some grammatical mistakes as you can see … I will learn to correct them) 🙂

     Thanks to everybody who helped me with correct instructions.

881. I enjoyed yesterday’s episode of Muktha.. It was a good turn to SM’s character …

882. When SM was telling CSP that Judiciary has changed and not like before, I recollected the recent decison’s by our Judiciary on Jessica lall murdercase and frequent turnarounds by Best Bakery Owner Zahira Sheikh. What i feel is that the same might be applied here too against Rane who has produced false witnesses in this case.

883. Anitha, now we can see a lot ಕವಿತೆಗಳು from you
     now on.

884. Try this link for Kannada script:
     http://www.iit.edu/~laksvij/language/kannada.html

885. Sanjay, in the end of yesterday’s episode Judge mentions ‘313 statement, tomorrow’, which my guess is, the accussed will be called upon to mention their version. MP and SKD can put forward their submissions to the court.
     Also, there is still the argument left, in which the two lawyers will consume atleast 2 episodes each, to summarize their case to the court! and then the judgement.
     Easily 2/3 weeks more to go!

     Chaitanya

886. Chabriyana cross examination maadabekiththu. chennagirodhu

887. I think only to cutshort the serial he could have
     made this move.

     or Let’s wait for a twist !!!!!!!!

888. what I thought was, CSP would use his detectives to spy on chabria, and prove that he is not ill, and bring chabria for examination.

889. Pingback: a common man ಸಂಜಯ » Blog Archive » my first PHP bilingual application

890. My lord,
     How cruel people can be!
     Do you guys think that Madhuvanti and her husband really killed Annapurnamma or do you think she actually died?
     I cant think straight now.

892. Thanks for the update Sanjay! 🙂 I am back from a lovely holiday.
     I could watch bits of Muktha on Friday – and I agree with Amruta, obviously Annapurnamma has been killed. Bejaar aaythu 🙁 – Can someone provide an update for Friday, please?

893. Partial Update of friday’s episode:

     Even I could watch only in bits, due to power cuts 🙁

     ———

     First scene:

     Discussion between Madhuvanti and her husband about AP, her assets and will.

     —-

     Thatha is giving tips to Nanjunda “women are dominative and want to be the boss. The secret is just allow them to be that way and say ‘yes yes’ to them in front of everybody just to make them happy… but when nobody else is there then command them to do as you like”. Then Nanjunda asks ‘houda, Ajji?’ and Thatha jumps with a worried expression for a moment, then Nanjunda laughs and Thatha retorts “dont scare me, I know she’s gone out side somewhere!!”

     Gowri is going to some Phalguni temple to do some pooja and pray for AP to return to good health as she was before. The landline rings and Nanjunda picks up. He tells her but she dosen’t want to take the call as she’s leaving. She is in the car, about to leave… Nanjunda runs out and informs Gowri that the matter is urgent and Madhuvanti was crying. Gowri attends the phone with great anxiety and tension and starts weeping. She then informs others that AP has expired and shes going there immediately, others can also follow.

     She reaches the house and everybody is crying… [sad background music] Madhuvanti is weeping a lot and Gowri consoles her merely in silence sharing everybody’s sorrow.

     —-

     CSP visits UG’s house – there’s a lot of commotion. CSP intervenes, the they are landlords pressurising the family to pay rent. UG’s sister says she’d put a case against them, to which CSP scolds her to not do any such thing (I forgot what exactly he says). CSP listens to them and kind of sorts it out, though they leave making threats that they’d be back again soon.

     Peace at last, CSP sits inside UG’s house with the family. Agrees with them that Chabbria escaped from cross examination and his involvement in UG’s murder case would be difficult to be established. He than says that UG’s family will be called upon to witness box where they shuold tell the court about UG, her achievement, accomplishments, the happenings on her birth day (as well the death day!) and most importantly that she left the house that day saying she got to meet Chabbria and Pavate. He admits it would be painful but they have to do it. UG’s father reluctantly agrees, but his wife asks would this pose a danger to their family, especially UG’s sister. CSP says that when they had conspired to even kill him, definitely the threat is there – no doubt about it. They should be ready to face the danger for the sake of providing justise to UG – else it would be an injustice to UG. He asks them are they ready?

     ——-

     Today’s episode (from AD): Lawyer speaks to Madhuvanti and husband about AP’s wish of the new will! Rane and Chabbria go to UG’s house.

894. Thanks a lot, Chaitanya!

895. Updated Chaitanya’s comments below wiki style to add a bit more detail.

896. oooh Thats interesting.
     We’ll wait for the meeting of UG’s parents and the ‘ill’ Chabria.

     Lets see what happens.
     – Srik.

897. I found it disturbing that she died…I’m lost, who got those pics at the top of the page??
     😛 keep it smiling

898. Sanjay your wiki idea worked! its looks better now than two separate posts! Also I enjoyed the udpate, esp [sad background music]. Could very much hear it! “Aa aaa…”

     How about more details on First scene, I couldn’t watch it!

     Ammu, don’t get disturbed or depressed about AP’s death. That was the only way probably, Gowri’s story would have got a logical conclusion when Muktha ends. 🙂

     Chaitanya

899. Could very much hear it! “Aa aaa…” 😀

     Even I’m in the dark about the first scene – same power cut!

     I suppose Ammu’s disturbed because of the insensitivity of the family members in killing Annapoornamma just for money… well Ammu tough news is that ‘money corrupts’ (in truth, we’re just blaming an external factor like money when root cause for corruption only lies within an individual himself) …the point is it does drive some people to such extent 👿 I’m also wondering how they were all so sad, it was very good acting (both as an actress as well as by the character in the serial!) Also I appreciated the way Annapoornamma acted like a dead body, I was watching closely she was not even breathing at all though they she was being focussed on for quite a while, and looking very peaceful! Such details are nice in Muktha.

     One detail they could’ve taken care of much better is the make up for the Thatha!

900. Elrigoo Namaskara..
     I was going through this blog from a month. Liked it very much.
     For all the Mayamruga likers if you dont know, DVD is available. I havnt seen this. You can go through the following link.
     http://www.kannadastore.com/product_reviews.php?products_id=175

     Thanks,

901. Hi guys,

     In the absence of daily updates, we are really lost. This blog was the only source of information for persons residing in other countries without access to this serial.

     After the april 6th update by sanjay, i have lost the flow of events.

     Did the judge make any statement? The case is dropped????

902. Monday – Apr 11th – Update.

     Annapurnamma’s house – mourners are leaving. The lawyer comes to Mahesh and tells him that AP had changed her will. Mahesh is suddenly very concerned, and then says lets not disturb her she is very upset, and then takes the lawyer to a seperate room to discuss. Mahesh is growing increasingly concerned and suspicious about what is happening. The lawyer says he and his assistant had come to her house the previous night to ask her to sign it, but she was not well. She’d told him that she would sign it in the morning. He does not know whether she signed it before she died or not. Mahesh tactfully tells him that he will search in her room to check it out and let him know tomorrow. [Now if he finds the will signed, will he not be able to simply destroy it?]

     —-

     It is 11 30 pm, and Usha Gopinath’s family is getting ready to sleep… when somebody knocks at their door. Usha’s dad is still sleeping but his wife wakes him up and he hurriedly puts on his shirt and goes to the door. He sees a goonda-like man through the grill asking him to open the door, saying Rane and Chhabria have come to their house. He is about to open it when his wife says ‘whats there to discuss with our daughter’s murderer’ When they hesitate, he threatens to break down the door. Rane comes running, scolds the goonda, asks them for forgiveness, and speaks very nicely and says, we just want to speak to you, I could have spoken from here also, but it will not look nice if a minister is seen standing in front of a house like this. So UG’s father lets them in.

     Rane asks him if he is giving saakshi the next day, and about what. Gopinath tells him. Rane says, don’t listen to that tarale lawyer. He just speaks nonsense. Tell me what is the connection between this case and AM’s murder? He is just doing it for gimmicks, and for money. He asked me for 20 lakhs, or else he will drag my name into the case. I refused, and thats what he did. I am a politician, i can handle all this, i dont care. But chhabria is a soft man, it will hurt his position. CSP is taking money from Chhabria’s rival company to drag Chhabria’s name in the mud. That is his intention nothing else. That is why our lawyer did not make him take the stand. Why do you think we would murder her?

     [In between, Uma keeps speaking rudely, and Rane snaps at her and warns her and calls her a taleharate, and asks her to shut up]

     Uma retorts that its because of the crores of money.

     Rane scolds her telling her not to interfere. Then Chabria answers – in an amazingly soft, gentle and reassuring tone – he says ‘noDamma Suma, swalpa practicalaagi yochane maaDu… Do you really think her discovery was worth crores? No discovery is worth that much. CSP is just taking you for a ride.’

     Usha’s mom says, with doubt, that we don’t think CSP is like that.

     Rane says, he is kocche, kocche mele kal haakadre namma baTTe ne galeejaaguthe… ?

     Gopinath says, but I have to tell the truth, else there will be no shaanti for Usha’s atma.

     Rane tries to tell something, but chhabria interrupts, again in the very gentle tone.

     Chhabria: I know you think I am your daughter’s murderer. But i had a lot of affection for her. IN those days itself, I had offered her a salary of 30,000, car and other perks. Why should I murder such an intelligent girl? Yes it is true that I was with her the day she died. It is true it is not a suicide, but a murder. It is true that I took her to the guest house, along with Chandrakant pavate, to talk to her. She had brought a stay on a patent, which was causing my company crores of rupees of loss per day. So I took her there to request her to take it back. But she was adamant and spoke rudely. My driver Dasannna {they show a guy standing next to Chhabria} respects me a lot. He could not take it that she was speaking to me like that, and he went for her throat in anger. Before we could separate them, she had died. I felt very bad, I thought of telling you many times, but had no courage. This is the truth. I swear on my children. If I am lying, let my children die.

     Then Chhabria gets up and falls at Gopinath’s feet and asks for forgiveness. The driver Dasanna also folds his hands and says ‘thappagihoythu, i will take any shikshe from you’.
     UG’s family is in tears.

     Chabria Saying that I cannot bring back your daughter’s life, atleast let me give you something to support you now, and he gives Rs 10 lakh in a suitcase. He adds that he will give Uma a salary of Rs 60000, and sponsor her research. When they are leaving, Rane again picks up the suitcase and hands it over to them himself reassuring them of his warm support.

     When Rane is at the door, he turns back and says that even if you come as a witness also, anyway I has nothing to lose, as MP an SKD will surely go to jail and I will become the CM. I am sure you would like some help from me. Also I am sure you would not want Uma to come to any harm. [its a veiled threat]. So think about it, and don’t give saakshi tomorrow.

     Finally when they leave, there are different expressions on their face – Usha’s dad was deeply shocked and angry, mom was worried and fearful, and Uma was very concerned and confused.

     ————————————————————

     Guru, I think the updates are up-to-date. I don’t think you have missed anything!
     Sanjay, I agree with your opinion of the make up of the Thatha 🙂 Actually they could have taken a thatha itself for that role 😀

903. Narayan Rane is an amazing character.The actor has done full justice to the character.The way he interrupts Uma , and the way he warns the family, without being emotional but being effective -he deserves the best villain award.

     have yoy seen the movie ‘Matha”? In that movie u will see him as a king(??)..It was really funny..

904. I liked the way in which Usha’s family is tested. Whether a justice which will bring practically nothing to them or Money which will secure their future.

905. Below update updated. one funny thing was that Usha’s dad seemed to be sleeping with his glasses on 🙂 (unless I missed when he put it on) But well it happens sometimes esp when a person is reading a book before falling asleep.

     Prasanna, that’s an interesting point.

     Btw Sridhar that was an excellent link ( http://www.iit.edu/~laksvij/language/kannada.html ) people can write in Kannada even if they cannot install Baraha for any reason.

     Guru there have been only 2 more after that – 7th (friday) – by Chaitanya, and 10th (monday) by Shruti below.

906. Beautifully updated, Sanjay!

     Prasanna, you probably put yourself in UG’s family’s place to have come up with such a good viewpoint of their dilemma!

907. ಶ್ರೀಧರ್, ಈ ಲಿಂಕಿಗೆ ಬಹಳ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು

908. I donno what was TNS thinking about when he had an idea of a character like Rane. Its really amazing. And also the way he is portraying it is unbelievable. I was dumbfolded yesterday after that last part where he said “Nimma magalige enoo tondare agabaradu allwa”… and all such truths like “Nam lawer Chabria na cross examination ge barodanne tapsidru…”… All such stuffs.
     BTW, Hey Sanjay, I guess UG’s father first puts on his glasses and then the slag to go and see who was on the door. Im not clear, though.

909. Yes shruti, im sorry, i had overlooked the 10th update…

910. And thanks for a wonderful update..

911. I have this feeling that CSP has kept a hidden camera in UG’s house, thinking that they(Chhabria and Rane) may visit their house to warn them. Then he can use this as a proof in the court. 🙂

912. Shruthi, its indeed difficult to answer this question putting myself in UG’s family. I kept thinking but my ಚಂಚಲವಾದ ಮನಸು 10 lacs antha helutha ide.

913. ( http://www.iit.edu/~laksvij/language/kannada.html )

     This is an excellent site ..ಈ ಸೈಟ್ ತುಂಬ ಚೆನ್ನಗಿದೆ

     However, I was able to cut and paste the kannada text (the converted one) into this blog, but i could not into MS outlook or any MS office prods.. It shows junk characters ..

917. Murthy, This site is suggested by Sridhar … So, all thanks to him

918. I just had a look at the iit site which was posted here. A very nice development. But there are some mistakes. For eg. Dha = ಢ. idu barOdilla. But I could not find a contact mail address to give a feedback

919. My messages are not going. Any idea Sanjay, why its not going. I compiled today’s update, but after submitting it, page is refreshed, but my update is not there. Pls help me.
     :((

920. Is it a detailed update, Srik? If it is, I will not write the update, and I will wait for Sanjay to release your comment.

921. Yeah it was a detailed update shruti.
     I logged early this morning. So, had some time to update about yesterday’s episode. In my view, it was one of the best episodes of Muktha yesterday. The dilemma of a family was shown with 100%perfection.

922. Shiva you are indeed correct when it comes to Life v/s whatever its always doubts. To clear that its People like Rane, Chhabria who can be examples about how to tackle this issue. Especially Rane who fights all the odds.

923. OK here is the update anyway. Sanjay, please make corrections in it. Somehow all the forces on this earth come to disturb me when I am watching Muktha, and I always miss out on something 😀

     UG’s parents are sitting late at night, and thinking. CSP calls them, and tells Gopinath to go early the next day, and he will brief him about what to say. Gopinath says ok, and hangs up. His wife asks him what he is thinking, and what he has decided.
     Gopinath does a lot of loud thinking. Looks at the pros and cons of the situation.
     He says, we do not know who killed UG. Chhabria swore on God and his children that he did not do it, and even his driver himself accepted that he did it.
     His wife says, so what, they are rich people, they would have bought the driver.
     He says, but we do not know the truth. Now if Chhabria is innocent, and I tell saakshi against him, then will UG’s aatma get shaanti? On the other hand, if I do not tell saakshi against him, Uma will get a good salary, and will be able to work with him. Plus, there is always the danger of something happening to Uma. In order to bring justice to our daughter who is no more, do we have to put the other daughter also in danger? If Usha could come back by my giving saakshi, then I would not have cared even if I died, I would go and give. But she will not come back by this.
     His wife is not convinced. she says, that if you don’t tell saakshi, it will be like cheating CSP who has done so much for us. And what about Madhavi Patel?
     He says, CSP himself has told us, that my giving saakshi or not, will not affect MP’s release in any way. So it won’t be a problem. We have to think about Usha also. That is why, I have reached a decision. I will go to court tomorrow, but I will not tell anything that CSP asks me to tell. I will just tell what we knew, about what Usha was working with, and that Chhabria had come offering a job, and all that. AFter all, this is all we know, right, honestly speaking? If Chhabria is not the culprit, then UG’s atma will not get shanti.
     His wife is still doubtful. Uma hears all this from her room, secretly. She immediately takes her cell, and calls CSP , and tells him everything. Her speaking to him and his reply is shown in silent mode.
     ____________________________________________________________

     Gauri is sitting leaning against a pillar, and crying. Ajji comes to console her. She says, AP helped us in trouble, she gave me a job, she made us able to stand with our head held high in front of Shivaprakash, she treated me less lke an employee, and more as her daughter, how can I not be sad? I had felt this way when my father died, I saw my father in her. Ajji also weeps, says, poor lady, such a nice person, all she wanted was her daughter’s love, which she did not get. Thatha comes in and scolds Ajji, for crying instead of consoling Gauri. Then Nanjunda comes in and speaks lightly, says, “why are you all sitting like this? why gauri? Neenu eega AP avara aastiya yajamani!”. Gauri is extremely angry, and slaps Nanjunda. She says, how can you speak like this? She hasn’t been gone for even 2 days and you are talking about aasti. Nanjunda apologises.
     ____________________________________________________________
     Next day, at court. Gopinath is brought forward as the only witness. CSP says, what to do, everybody comes to me and whispers to me that MP is innocent and should be freed, but nobody wants to come to court and testify! After him, if necessary I will call 1-2 more witnesses.
     The judge calls for Gopinath comes fwd, but CSP suddenly stops him and says, no, not him, let his wife testify. Everybody is shocked. Judge is perplexed – “who is this Mrs. Usha Gopinath” and makes Basavaraju call out for her. Usha’s mother is scared – and that’s an understatement.

     SS recovers from this sudden turnaround and raises an objection – “he has no right to call Mrs. Ushagopinath”. But judge is in a particularly firing mood… he says, “why are you raising silly objections, SS? CSP has a right to call anybody for saakshi, please come”. SS grumbles “avar yen heLthare” CSP retorts “arre… ille kuthirthiralla, avaryen heLthoro neevu keLskoLri! yenaadru objection bekaadre haaki, yaar beDa anthare?” SS puts forth a submission, that this saakshi is for UG’s case, and not for the case at hand and it has nothing to do with the main murder. Usha’s mother – terrified at being the unexpected object of attention – pleads that “nannage avara kole bagge yenuuuu gothilla saar” and adds hopefully but resignedly “nannana bittbiDi”. SS triumphantly says “see, she herself is saying that she dosen’t know anything, CSP has forced her to come here and be a witness!”. But judge himself says, SS, you are a senior advocate, you should know all this. Probably this lady knows something, but she does not know it is related to the murder. She is an “ordinary” housewife. Csp will get out of her what he needs, you can proceed. Any irrelevant questions I will immediately stop”

     When Usha’s mom is standing by her husband, he holds her back, almost scolding her. The judge is very angry. He says, “who are you to stop her? You might be her husband, but only at home. If you forcibly prevent a witness from testifying, you can be arrested. Got it?” Then Usha’s Dad lets her go, but whispers “aatmahatye anta hELu. murder anta hELbEda”. She nods meekly and goes further. Rane had given Usha’s dad a questioning nod when he went to testify, but he looks this way and that way, totally confused when the witness was changed.

     CSP thanks the judge, Usha’s mom is sworn in. CSP faces her with a kind half-smile – empathizing with her situation.

924. One more thing – When Usha’s mom is called, Usha’s dad holds her back, almost scolding her. The judge is very angry. He says, “who are you to stop her? You might be her husband, but only at home. If you forcibly prevent a witness from testifying, you can be arrested. Got it?”. Then Usha’s dad lets her go, but whispers something in her ear. She nods and goes further.
     Rane had given Usha’s dad a questioning nod when he went to testify, but he had got totally confused when the witness was changed.
     ____________________________________________________________
     Oh thats unfortunate Srik, had you saved it in a notepad or something? Or did it get lost totally?
     Yes the dilemma was shown extremely well. I could not do justice in the update, though.

925. Shruti,
     u’ve said

     ——————————————————————————–

     Usha’s dad lets her go, but whispers something in her ear. She nods and goes further.

     ——————————————————————————–

     He whispers “Aatmahatye anta hELu. Murder anta hELbEda.”
     So natural for a middle class man to order his wife.

926. He said that?? I missed that totally!! Thanks!
     And I did not like the judge calling her “ordinary housewife” – Ok i know he said it in the context, that she is not acquainted with legal matters and all that, but still. 🙂

927. OmG!!! I never ever get to go on this site regularly! Yes, Sanjay Anna, I am preparing for the CONVENTION..thats why i havn’t been ale to come on lololol

     Anyway, yesterday’s episode was cool, i liked it lots, except for the second scene where it was just Gowri crying and crying, it was nice but you know, i need thrilling stuff. Anyway, I liked it and i don’t know WHY it seems that I can never come here, but it’s annoying me, because this is my 😉 favourite website 😉

     Anyways,
     keep 😛
     Ammu!

928. A great twist in yesterday’s court scene by calling Gopinath’s wife instead of him (surely it was thrilling stuff to you Ammu ;-)).

     Looking at the e-tv ads yesterday which mentioned “Mr. Gopinath or Mrs. Gopinath? watch muktha today”, I was wondering what does it mean!

     Should watch today, what does CSP get out of Mrs Gopinath and how wud their family save themselves from Rane and Chabbria. Rane’s expessions in court y’day were simply great!

929. UG’s mother would always cry saying namma magala athmakke shanthi……………….. . The ball is in her court to choose either 10 Lacs or Magala Athmakke Shanthi.

     The scene where in UG’s dad murmurs in court looked very natural.

930. Updated is updated. Probably CSP did not like to do this, and felt sorry for her, considering that she was such a timid introvert lady – and now such a person is standing at the court – apart from the fear of Rane and the situation itself, there is also the great fear of stagefear, where every person in the court is looking at her and hearing her speak.

     In our corporate offices, I’ve seen fellows with so much exposure to the world get so scared at the prospect of giving a powerpoint presentation to a group of 10 people so imagine her situation! Anyway I think it will wear out after a while 😉

     Srik I’m really sorry I have no clue what happened to your update. It wasnt queued up for moderation. Henceforth please type it in a notepad window (not only here but generally in most web interfaces where we type a large amount of text… only exception I’ve seen is gmail which has an auto save feature without refreshing the whole page using recent ajax technology) Sometimes *carefully* clicking the BACK button helps – we can see the text still there, but may not always work. Next time if it happens just email the text to me directly… depending on the day I cant say when I’ll see it but probably by lunchtime.

     Ammu, hope your convention goes well!

     Chaitanya true the acting yesterday was just exceptional! It was definitely one of the best episodes wrt to the last part.

931. Update beautifully updated!
     You should write below it – Updated by Sanjay 🙂 – Else all credit will go to me 😀

932. Shocking to hear Dr.Rajkumar is no more. Huge loss to our Kannada Film Industry

933. Yes shocking indeed! The cliched phrase ‘tumbalaarada nastha!’ really means something today!

     May our favorite actor’s soul rest in peace!

934. Yeah Raaj annavru passed away at 2 o’clock.

935. Rajkumar passes away.

936. In honor of him, ಈ ಸುದ್ದಿನಾದರು ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಓದೋಣ…

     ಕನ್ನಡ ಪ್ರಭ

     ಅವರ ಶವವನ್ನು ಪ್ಯಾಲೇಸ್ ಗ್ರೌನ್ ಡ್ಸ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ 5 ಗಂಟೆಗೆ ಇಡ್ತಾರಂತೆ

937. It is a very sad day for all Kannadigas. Dr. Raj was probably the best actor of his times since he was versatile. I rate him better than NTR,ANR,MGR,Shivaji, etc because of his versatility. Still remember those good old days when we as kids, would always anticipate a Raj-Narasimharaju combo movie to make our Sundays. Oh…God..where have those Fridays gone when we used to eagerly wait for the movie of the weekend after Chitramanjari. Still remember Raj’s brilliant acting as a polio affected person in “Muriyada Mane” which had portrayed family values and clean relationships.

938. Its really a very sad moment for all of us.

     What pained me even more is the behaviour of the mobs and destruction of the public property in the name of honourable man. Whats happening to the bangalore public? Every small thing, they start destroying the public property and create problems for the general public.

     I really wonder if those unruly “FANS” were really sad or an opportunity to have fun at the expense of demise of Dr.Raj.

939. Yesterday everyone left office and I was just sitting alone and suddenly recalled and wrote about my one encounter with him. A security guard asked me if I needed a ride but I said I’d go… and left by foot. Off late ever since I’ve been transferred to the office within the city, I’ve been trying to walk home (around 6 kms) atleast every alternative day. So yesterday I walked down Cunningham Road, then passed Christ College and then past the palace onto Windsor Manor road. The traffic on most of the roads were blocked with a lot of cops all around. Just as I reached Windsor Manor bridge road, there was a huge commotion. I’ve never really faced a mob, and I went closer and closer to it – some kind of fear actually. But they were just shouting without doing anything so I went there… it was like a sea of people walking up Windsor Manor road. The ambulance with the body also passed, it was good timing that I could see it. I just stood there watching everybody go all the way upto the top of the road and disappear out of sight. After it passed, there were the remnants of the mob.

     I was very surprised when some chap just like that threw a stone at a closed shutter. In a moment he disappeared into the now sparse crowd. Most of the crowd were just shouting out loud slogans and having fun. I wondered how many really cared – definitely only a small fraction. There were people calling each other on cellphones arranging for transportation to go there (which I later came to know was Kanteerava stadium). Further down the road, it was much quieter, but there was a small crowd, and I came to know that someone there had got hit by a flying stone. In anonymity, the animal in people just comes out. The anonymous stone thrower might never have known that his stone found a living target. As I continued walking towards Malleswaram, the streets were quiet, and there were occasional people shouting at each other. There was one very strong chap who was saying to the other “&*&^* don’t tell me it wasn’t you who hit me you %^&%” and the other chap was meekly saying “no it wasn’t me honest” and this less than intellectual conversation kept getting repeated again and again in increasingly aggressive tones, being restrained by a crowd but on the verge of grabbing each other’s collar.

     I wanted to interfere – take them completely by surprise – a man in formal executive clothing suddenly coming and calmly telling them not to fight today atleast else it will come in the paper tomorrow spoiling none other than RajaNNa’s name – and then leaving. But what if I got hit? I felt the element of surprise would strongly be in my favor, but somehow, my courage failed me, I merely walked away!

     At home on TV I liked some of the testimonials by people who really worked with him and admired him. It seems he was exceptionally disciplined, dedicated to his job – following “ಕಾಯಕವೇ ಕೈಲಾಸ”. I liked Ramesh’s comments… “whenever someone affectionately asked him for a photograph, he wouldn’t just casually pose for it, he would affectionately clasp the person’s hands and smile, with real love! 🙂 “

940. Its absolutely crazy the way the police guys are beating up the poor fellows… somebody at the back is pushing so these guys come forwards and the police guys beat them up. But when I commented this, my mom told me – “ನೀನ್ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಹೋಗಿ control ಮಾಡು ನೋಡೊಣ ಯೇನ್ ಮಾಡ್ತ್ಯಾ ಅಂತ!” Even the commentator over the loudspeaker was pleading with the police not to do so… I hope he got heard and they use discretion in using their strength! And also telling the mob to control themselves, saying “ಅಣ್ಣವರು ಹೇಳ್ತಾಯಿದ್ರು ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳು ನನಗೆ ದೇವ್ರಿದ್ದಂಗೆ ಅಂಥ… ಹಾಗೆ ವರ್ತಿಸಬೇಕೆಂದು ಕೋರುತ್ತೇವೆ…”

941. One of my friend who was working behind camera for Kannada movies narrated an incident that he observed. During the shooting of Jeevana Chaitra one particular shot was to be taken at Nandi Betta. Since work started late it became almost 4pm before the Stage was set for a Clap. They decided since no one had food they ordered for Chitranna and Mosaruanna. It was first served to annavuru and later to others. Everyone were waiting till the last person was served. People started eating silently and once director/producer had the first taste of the food he realised that chitranna was spoilt and the mosuruanna had turned sour. But still nobody complained. So even producer kept quite. At the end of the meal when producer asked Annavuru why did he have the spoilt chitranna, Our great man Dr.raj said if he had complained about food none of them would have had it and this would have resulted in wasting of full food. In our country we couldn’t afford to waste such a quantity of food . Tears rolled down on everyone cheek at that time. Such great man is not among us today. Let us follow his principle atleast.

942. 🙁 🙁 very sad news 🙁 🙁

943. When they say fans indulge in arson etc, they should not call them as fans at all. After burning the bus, they were looking at the camera and laughing triumphantly. There was no genuine sadness in any of them – it did not make any difference to them and they’re just proud of identifying themselves as part of some big group.

     It was really heartrending to see the assault by police on so many people as well as the merciless way in which police were being attacked as well 🙁

944. Hi,

     Indeed its a sad news.
     I personally saw Dr. Raj as a sincere actor, not morethan that. In college debates, when he was abducted and hell broke loose, I always argues that Raj has not even built a Kannada school, how can he be a representative of Kannada and such things. The fact now I think is I never tried knowing this gr8 personality. Only after reading about the Gokak chaluvali, and only after reading about him in articles written by some gr8 writers of Kannada, I came to know of his real stardom. Its not easy to inspire one whole generation of a wide region. Only a few gr8 souls can do it.
     And Im proud to say that Dr.Raj is one of those great souls.
     Real truth is one need not start/run a school to be an “Aaradhya daiva”, he can just be him, inspire the mass with his actions. And Rajkumar dis it to the Kannadigas.
     He was morethan an actor, a legend in all true terms.
     Thanks Sanjay and Prasanna for giving more insights into his off-career life.
     Lets pray for peace to his soul.

945. ಅಣ್ಣ ಇನ್ನಿಲ್ಲ… ಈ feelingನಲ್ಲಿ sink ಆಗಲಿಕ್ಕೆ ತು೦ಬಾ ಕಷ್ಟ ಆಗುತ್ತಾ ಇದೆ. ಅವರ ಚಿತ್ರ ನೋಡುವಾಗ ಕಣ್ಣಲ್ಲಿ ಗೊತ್ತೇ ಆಗದ೦ತೆ ನೀರು ಬ೦ದು ಬಿಡ್ತು.ಬಹಳಷ್ಟು celebrityಗಳು ತಾವು ಬರೆದ೦ತೆ ಅಥವಾ ನಟಿಸಿದ೦ತೆ ಬದುಕುವದಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ರಾಜಣ್ಣ ಬದುಕಿ ತೋರಿಸಿದರು. ಆದರೆ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಉತ್ತಮ ಅ೦ತ್ಯ ಸ೦ಸ್ಕಾರ ಸಿಗಲಿಲ್ಲ ಅನ್ನುವ ಬೇಸರ ಮಾತ್ರ ರಾಜ್ ರವರ ನೆನಪಿನೋ೦ದಿಗೆ ಉಳಿದುಬಿಟ್ಟಿದೆ.

946. Indeed Dr.Raj is a legendary person. No doubt about it.

     There was only one instance when i actually dint like his action and speech. That is when he got released from Veerappan. But that doesnt make him less great soul.

     Is this the kind of farewell we give to a great soul? Just like Sanjay said, this stone throwing etc actually brought out the animal in them. No wonder many prefer to relocate to foreign countries.

     nija helbekandre, ella anagarikaru. They have spoilt the name of Bangalore time and again. Less than 50% of the kannadigas and inspite of that this is what we see now. Where is all our culture gone?

     Sanjay, no point blaming the police. I agree they arent correct always, but the mob behaviour was at its worst.

     Atleast 8 police men and 8 other civilians were killed. What a waste of life. I dont see any value for life in India. So much destruction. The mob all along the way were throwing stones on all the buildings they saw. Why? Ya after throwing the stones, jumping, laughing and whistling. Are they really mourning? Are they really feeling about the demise of the great soul?

     I feel real fans of Dr.Raj are the ones who sat back at home, watching and sending him off feeling the grief of the demise of the great soul.

     The bottom line, this wasnt the kind of send off we should be giving to a great soul who not once in his life embraced violence.

947. Muktha was not telecasted for the last two days (12th and 13th) due to the mourning of Dr. Raj’s sad demise. Hence no updates as well.

     Muktha should be resuming its telecast from today, I guess.

     Chaitanya

948. They were definitely not fans, according to the paper there was a conspiracy where a lot of them were opportunists who took advantage of the situation to instigate violence for all kinds of political reasons. But on the other hand, there were a lot of them who simply emotionally disturbed and angry with the police that they were preventing them from going near the body. Of course it was not the police’s decision, they act on order, but the people there on the ground were blind to this logic and turned against the police. Some such “fan” they showed on TV was angrily saying ‘police nammana thadadre thumba keTTad aagute!” …he was not having any genuine love, it was only a corrupt selfish love “I want to go near him and pay my respects to him, dosen’t matter even if his family wants to have some intimate time with him, I don’t care”. It was really sad to see his sons pleading with the crowd to allow them to do the last rites in peace.

     In general I think in India we don’t handle death very easily. It would be good if we learn to understand and deal with it in a more educated [not merely literate] manner. There are countless ‘if-only’ speculations (Hindsight is always 20-20) but this is one thing I felt was quite pragmatic… a comment by Girish Karnad: he said that “They could’ve forseen the situation when Dr. Raj was in a critical situation, and discreetly made urgent arrangements in advance. But they didn’t want to because in Indian culture its considered very inauspicious to talk about death before a person dies” They couldve definitely forseen atleast a fraction of the scale of the consequences based on the Veerappan episode. But this is a very serious oversight, else so much violence could’ve been reduced and atleast the family could’ve had a less stressful time – they were literally going through a nightmare 🙁

     Anyway though I have admired him a lot I hadn’t really considered myself as a fan. But strangely I don’t know why but ever since I heard the news I feel some kind of personal loss… ಯಾರೊ ಆತ್ಮೀಯರನ್ನು ಕಳ್ಕೊಂಡಂಗಿದೆ… Esp everytime I see him on TV it really sinks in like Girish has said 🙁

     There was a really touching clip by ಈ TV from one B&W movie where he says “ಮುಗಿತಾ ನಿನ್ ಕಂತೆ ಪುರಾಣ ಯೆಲ್ಲಾ?”

     One silver lining is that even by death he has set a noble example by having donated his eyes, providing vision to two people. On TV they showed a clipping of some interview where he had expressed this desire, it was very nice – he was saying why burn or bury them when they can be used? (It would be good if they use this clippling as an advertisement to spread the awareness)

949. Today Mukta was a really delicate episode so I watched it the second time to try and get the transcript. So I’ve put in more dialogues in Kannada as well.

     ——

     MG: She tells her name and introduction. She starts off by saying that she thinks her daughter comitted suicide. That they had initially thought it was a murder, but later found out that it was suicide.
     CSP asks about her daughter, whether she was running behind any boy
     [the judge raises his eyebrows in what seemed to be disapproval]
     MG: avaLu antha magu ne alla, avaL aithu avaL pusthka aithu, keluv sathi sangeetha, ishT bittu avaLige bere prapancha ne gottirlila saar
     CSP: what about her marriage?
     MG: she had made it clear that talk about my marriage after my research
     CSP gets Inspector Ranganath’s report. It had a report saying that the family was forcing her to marry, Mukund Bhagavat hence she could not face it any more and committed suicide
     [shocked and anger]. illa adu suLLu! Mukund Bhagavat patragaLannu baredu peeDisthaidda!
     CSP: so ee report suLLa?
     MG: [breathing heavily] bari suLLu!

     CSP: chabriavaru nimma manege bandidra?
     [she looks at Rane glaring at her]
     CSP: arre, allyaakri noDtira… illi noDkond heLi
     MG: eraDu saathi bandidru, namma companige seri antha ushage heLoke.
     CSP: aadre yaak serkoLlilla?
     MG: avaLige deshabhakti jaasti. since the benefits would go to foreign countries she wasn’t interested.
     CSP: ok first time. eraDene sathi yaake bandidru ?
     MG: adhu adhu…
     CSP: [very gently and encouragingly] nimage gottiro sathya yella heLidhre thaane thaayi, nimma magaLa aatmakke shaanti sigodu?

     CSP: (not sure of this part) ok adu biDi

     CSP: had MP come to your house?
     MG: she had some lawyer case and said that she was busy and will get back on it
     but in 2 weeks she herself was arrested for AM’s murder
     CSP: Has your husband met MP any time?
     MG: Yes once she was in jail
     CSP: do you know what he said to her.
     MG: that we would stand by her and speak as a witness
     [her husband is grimacing and looking annoyed that she is speaking so much]
     CSP: that means it looked like MP was being convicted for the murder of AM, and you thought it was because it was just because she was digging up UG’s case, so you stood by her
     MG: haudu

     CSP: at first you thought chabria has murdered her, later you concluded it was suicide. adu tappu bhavane, chabria kole maaDsilla antha yaavaaga gothiaithu?
     MG: adhu nenne gothaithu
     CSP: AH?! [great surprise and suspicion] nenne gothaitha?? [composes himself] …nenne heG gothaithu?
     [SS is also perplexed]

     MG: adhu… adhu… nenne chabria mattu raNe bandidru
     CSP: adh heg saadhya chabria bandidru avaru heartattack-o yeno aagittalla
     MG: houdu naanu suLL heLthailla, bekadre raneavaranne keLi

     MG: avar alvanthe kole maaDiddu. avara driver anthe. avaLu argue maaDid ishTa illa antha avara drive ge ishta aaglilavnthe, kole maaDbutranthe… [very sadly she struggles to say this]
     CSP: so adhu aatma hathe alla kole antha chabria avare heLidru.
     MG: Chabria gave Rs 10 lakh as a consolation for UG’s wife
     CSP: oh is 10 lakh enough for her life?
     MG: he also promised a job with Rs 60000 salary for UG’s sister
     CSP: bandu CSP tara heLirodu heLbedi antha yenadru heLidra
     MG: houdu
     SS: objection your honor, CSP is asking leading questions
     Judge: CSP, dont ask leading questions
     CSP: I withdraw my question your honor

     CSP gets a photo – the last photo of UG, asks if she can explain the background
     MG: [teary eyed] it was her birthday, told her to apply leave. she said she couldnt, her guide Chandrakanth Pavate had come to talk something said she’ll come back at 7. yeL aithu… enT aithu… ombat aithu… hat aithu…… hannond aithu… haneraD aithu… [tears are just rolling down her cheeks] iTTid aDige na haage itkond kaithaidvi.
     [UG’s father and sister are also in tears]
     hobuTTidalLantha gothaithu. Chabria avaru kat hiski saisbuTidaare antha gotaitu.

     CSP: very softly samadhana maaDkoLi thayi, samadhana maaDloLi. Turns to the judge, and says somewhat tersely – that’s all your honor, that’s all.
     Rane looks sort of helpless and uncomfortable
     Gopinath’s wife is just weeping silently and uncontrollably.

950. iam the fan of muktha serial,

951. iam the fan of muktha serial,

952. iam the fan of muktha serial,

953. Excellent update, Sanjay! That episode, as you say, was very sensitive. And how easily CSP got her to tell everything! I loved it!
     ____________________________________________________________

     To say the least, I am ashamed of the way Bangalore behaved. Clients and co-workers from all over the world are writing in to me and my husband, asking us what it is all about, why people are behaving this way for the “natural death” of an aged actor. We tried telling them that he was a much loved person, but nothing can explain the vandalism.

     Unfortunately in this extreme disturbance, the dignity of a silent mourning was nowhere to be seen – the sorrow from Dr. Raj’s death was drowned by the horror of what the mobs did. I know that there seems to be something else behind this, but what picture does it give the world? 🙁 – Forget the world, what picture will it give to the rest of India? If Kannadigas want to be taken seriously and respected, this sort of behaviour is the last thing they should resort to.

     I know, I know, what I am saying is of no use, just pouring out my thoughts.

     One more perspective I received – I was talking, on Friday, with the lady who comes home to help with the housework. I asked her if she was sad about Dr.Raj’s death. She told me “HeLi Akka, naanu yaake aLali Rajkumar avaru hogiddakke? BaDavarigenadaru maadiddara avaru? Ondu kaasu koTTiddara? VoLLeyavarirabahudu, voLLe actor irabahudu, aadare naanu yaake dukha paDali?”

     I mean no disrespect – I am just putting forth a different perspective, for your comments.

954. Thanks Shruthi – and I too wished that he could’ve gotten a real dignified honor including a 21 gun salute.

     Wrt to the maid servant’s point – I’ve heard this same line many times from many people over the years wrt Rajkumar… “bareyavarigenadaru maaDiddara avaru?”

     So just a few points related to it…
     – there’s a good chance he might’ve helped others but anonymously, without publicising
     – most of his family members don’t come anywhere close to his standards. Some things I know for sure, and some things are gossip and rumors there is no use in going into the dark details. It is sufficient to understand that they were not not giving him freedom to do as he liked.
     – it is a common misconception that mainly famous or wealthy people have an obligation to be generous and donate things for others. But really everybody is in the same boat. For example, rich people generally socialise with other rich people and don’t really feel that they are rich – in fact may only end up feeling that they’re still poor!! 😀 (This dosen’t apply to Rajkumar as I believe he was genuinely down-to-earth)

     So anybody including the maid servant and including me should only ask themselves the same question instead of asking rich people. I find this a nice story which conveys the point…

     “PT and I were walking down the streets the other day and we saw a really old man sleeping on a torn cloth bag, with a thin shawl covering his body. PT befriended him at first, and when I went up to him to give him an extra blanket, he tells me, ‘Son, give this to someone who needs it more. I am cold, but at least, I have this one shawl.’ I couldn’t believe it. ~ a blog

955. On Thursday I was snubbed in my office saying ” I never knew Kannadigas behaved so bad that a person couldn’t die even peacefully”( I thought of quoting what happened during NTR’s death but). I really felt like clubbing his face but i really felt when i saw it on TV. Poor Cop what was his fault. I felt they should have made the funeral a family affair than a public one even though Dr.Raj was a celebrity. I appreciate the people from tinsel town like Mysore,Bellary,Belgaum,Hubli etc where they had silent Bundh. Anyway Past is Past and city was quick to get off from the violence.

956. Is it always required that a person has to do something monetarily to be considered as a great person.
     That way lot of our legends would not have been considered so.
     Many times people might be a CAUSE for lot of good things and I feel Rajkumar is one of them

957. Your points are right, Sanjay, all of them. I also have heard taht he did not have much freedom and all that. Anyway, I just wanted to bring out the voice of a small section – and see what everybody thought about it.

     Prasanna, unfortunately celebrities belong to the people, almost as much as they belong to the family. They have become celebrities only because of the ppl, and the ppl feel that he is as much of an ANNa to them, as he is a husband, father, etc. A private funeral would have been ideal, but very difficult.

958. I agree with you Shruthi that the people behaved so badly that it is a shame for all Bangaloreans.. Especially we kannadigas claim that we are peace loving people …

     But the people who created this ruckus are not worried about the global face of Bangalore …

     There was an article in one of the news papers where they had written about the widening gap between the rich and poor , educated and uneducated , employed and unemployed … which results in such things

959. Btw today will have something about Arundhathi’s saga 😕 (saw the trailer over the weekend)

960. Hauda Sanjay? I hope it is brought to a favourable conclusion, soon!

     Anitha, there were also many articles that the riots were politically motivated. I wonder if we will ever know the truth!

961. Sanjay: whats this? are you taking arithmetic tests for those who want to leave comments?

     Shruti: other perspectives on Dr. Raj! has many many other directions but Raj did lot of justice to his work, life and society.

     I dont know if I have to mention about this week’s Hi Bangalore. Ravi Belagere was the first to write a bit odd against Raj and his surroundings. The point he is making now is Raj was a good human being, keep him there and dont make him ‘GOD’!
     He has printed many surprizes about Raj in this week’s edition. Dont know as how will the hardcore abhimani’s take it.
     Moreover, to me Raj is an ideal actor and he did reach the peak in his area of expertise. I take that and nothing more. Raj is still alive in his roles and we knew raj only in his roles. Raj andre Babruvarhana, ranadheera kanteerava etc etc.
     When raj did hold the mic at a distance while singing ‘Hosabelaku’ the whole kannada community followed it. He was a trendsetter and trends set by him are still in practice. to me, this is an amazing performance as an actor.
     Raj lives in our memories. lets forget that raj is dead. If he is still there in Sadashivanagara, it doesnt make much difference to us.

     Coming back to muktha, I think some 20-30 episodes more and they are done with it. I hope this community to be in touch even after that. I strongly propose a get-together. Believe me I will be the Host. guys its high time with 1000 responses, make yourself available. lets converge on some date

962. No father, mother, grand father, grand mother in their right mind will allow Arundhati to marry either. One cinema actor divorced, other son of a politician, budding politician.

     May be because she is fatherless or may be I just think middle class.

963. Hmm ok Girish I’ve added an explanation

     Shruti, for the truth they’ll need to make a proper enquiry, and if they had the competency to do that, they would’ve probably been competent enough to have avoided the situation in the first place, so I feel we’ll never know 🙁 though hopefully I’m wrong!

     We’ll definitely meet, I’d written an application to help in collecting inputs to decide on place and time etc – just that it needs to be fine tuned a bit, will put it here this week!

     Looks like Aru is finally seeing the light at the end of the very long and dark and boring tunnel 😉

     Deva I guess she’s lacking a father’s guidance but then dosen’t mean that if he was there she would’ve listened to him! 🙂 Anyway hopefully not all politicians are bad!

964. It applies to other actors as well.

     Right let us appreciate their work and not make them “GOD”.

     Heard the fanatics had build a temple for khusbu in TN. Many people fall to the feet of amitabh, and once i saw a guy falling to the feet of shah rukh khan!!!

     Total chaos when Salman was relased on bail!!!

     They act to earn money, fame. So whats the big deal about them? I wonder why ppl are mad about them?

965. Sanjay, and everybody, I did not watch Muktha yday. Can you please post the update?

     There is one excellent thing that Dr. Raj did – he donated his eyes. My guess is that this will inspire many of his fans to do the same. I got a small doubt – what if people forget this over time…. so I hope the press really brings this up from time to time and reminds the public what a good thing he has done, so that they will follow his example.

966. Sanjay I used to score the least in Maths got caned at school and later by my father but still no results. It was like a infinite loop ( for i:= 1 to N ,N= -∞). Now its you who is testing me. Anyway

     Thankgod to that Aru’s friend to show her a correct path to end Manmohan and Aru’s stalemate. That was the just borderline of yest’s update. Other than that SS acting as a defence lawyer says that UG’s mother that without any written proof means that she is lying that her daughter was murdered. Also CSP wants to produce MP as next witness.

967. As far as the Friday’s episode of Muktha is concerned, I was virtually in tears at the end, when mrs.G
     revealed everything about Chabria’s association with her daughter’s death,
     It was so sensitive and real. The sentimental association of a parent with her daughter is so much beyond words,
     Helplessness of a housewife, innocense personified, it was really touching.

     I think by now, the characters in Muktha are no longer just ‘characters’, they are like real-life people walking on our tv screens,
     we share so much in common with them, its so much involving. Jessica Lal’s parents might have felt the same in court, I guess.

     Lets just hope to find the peace amidst all the ill-effects of her revelation.

968. See prasanna, there’s no escape 😈

     SS asks Mrs. G why she filed complaint only after so 2.5 years, to which she says she had filed in several places but there had been no action.

     And to add to your summary – basically at the end, Mrs G says that had also says that she’s very scared, she has probably spoken against Rane, and that Rane had told her that whats the guarantee that her daughter will be safe, so she asks the judge for some protection, which the judge agrees to provide. I like the clinical non-sentimental way the judge just says ok ok done.

969. Ayyo, Arundhatige ondu gathi kandi banthu. Ella andare ebbaru avara avara reethiyelli preethi prema thorisi preksharige thale novvu tharutha eddaru

970. Arundhatige yenu gathi kanDu banthu? Can someone please explain what happened in the non-court scene yday?

971. Nothing Serious Shruthi, Just her friend explains her that all of the sacrifices that she made was just a waste though the intentions were good.

     One dialog was really good one im unable to recollect.

972. Oh, thanks Prasanna 🙂

973. Would somebody pl update the first scene of April 17th episode. Thanks, Sanjeev

974. Sanjeev,yesterday’s(17th) first scene is all about expression of love.Manamohan says how much he loves Arundathi to Arunadathi’s fried(whats her name???hmmm……..I dont remember)Boring 🙁

     Its alreday 11Pm, still in office,can’t watch Muktha. So, waiting for the updates 🙂

     Sanjay, B’lore police has already submitted an interim report on B’lore riot to Govt.Hope they have done a competent job in ivestigation 😉

     Do we really have to “ashamed of” for what happened in B’lore after Raj’s demise? These are the miscretans who cretae trouble and they live on evry part of earth. Police should have done a better job, but it was a senstive issue and a small mistake could have resulted in a bigger loss.

975. Update – Tuesday – April 18th.

     Madhavi Patel takes the stand and is sworn in.

     CSP: Tell us about what you have studied and what you are.
     MP: I did my MA in Sociology, then got selected for the IPS. I have been serving as SP of Sudukoppa ever since. I am now under suspension.

     CSP: Tell us about your awards and achievements.
     MP: I am embarrassed to talk about myself.

     CSP: You are the accused. Your awards and recognitions will speak volumes and give you credibility. What you say will influence the judge’s opinion about you, go on, tell it.
     MP: [speaks about some recognitions and awards]

     CSP: What about schooling?
     MP: I was good in studies. I got 9th rank in 10th and 7th rank in PU. But the situation at house was not good. My mother was not with us and my father lost his job when I was 9. I used to go to the neighbours house and sweep and wash dishes, to earn money. WE had no electicity, I studied in the light of a kerosene lantern. Probably the difficulties urged me to study better.

     CSP: Why did you study sociology, why not Engg or medicine?
     MP: I was idealistic, i wanted to join the police and improve the world.

     CSP: Were you successful in your intention?
     MP: (Recites a poem) – I wanted to change the world, I made my body itself into a bow and shot forward, but when I reached the stone, I realised that the stone had changed.

     CSP: Ok, tell us, are you an aparaadhi?
     MP: Naanu thappu maadidde antha andkondidde, aadre aparadha alla. aadre eega ansatthe, naanu thappu kooda maadilla.

     Judge: You dont have to tell anything if you feel it will implicate you.
     MP:I will tell everything I know.

     I made some mistakes in the jaathre. I should have employed Reserve Police, but was misguided by Ranganath who urged me not to. When galaate started there, AM started scolding me as if i was responsible. Just then, ppl started shouting “MP ki jai”. I started looking like a culprit even though i wasn’t one. I was angry, and i panicked too. I decided to take AM and go to forest guest house. We started in the car, but the road was blocked near paalu mandira, and we had to go towards the cliff. Suddenly driver started saying that brakes have failed, but avana mukhadalli gaabari iralilla. Then he jumped out. The car was moving towards the cliff. I urged AM to open the door but it was stuck. With one hand i opened my door, with the other hand i shot at his door to open it. At that time the car gave a lurch. I fell out after that, hit my head against something, and lost consciousness. When i recovered, i was among some bushes. I felt that this was some kind of preplanned thing, and decided to go back to jaathre. but while walking, i saw some ppl playing cards, they had a transistor inwhich i heard that AM had been shot and I was suspected and police were on the lookout for me. I thought the shot I had meant for the window had hit AM instead. I hesitated, and spent the night thinking what to do. In the morning i wantd to go but heard that Shivraj hegde, who hated me has been appointed the IO. I now knew for sure it was all preplanned. I found the body of a lady who looked like me, dressed her in my clothes and wore hers. I spent the next three days, living in huts, and the nights walking towards sudukoppa. I then heard that CBI had been assigned to the case and felt happy, but look at the irony, the officer in charge was Sandhya M who never liked me. finally i went to gautamkatte and reached gauri’s house, and there i summoned CSP. He came, and SM also came there at that time. He hid me effectively, and then the next day he made me surrender in court. this is all i know.

     CSP: When you shot at the window, was the driver inside the car? because he says he saw you shooting AM.
     MP: No, he had jumped out by that time. he is lying.

     CSP: Ok, why did u take AM to forest guest house itself, and nowhere else? it arouses suspicions.
     Mp: All other roads wre blocked by the violent mobs. This was the only one remaining.

     CSP: Ok, why do you think they wanted to frame you in this case?
     MP: I had reopened UG’s murder case, and had collected enough evidence against Chhabria. I started facing trouble. I got pressure from home minister twice to stop investigation in this case, and I was transferred but got a stay order. I was almost ready to arrest Chhabria, but before that this happened. Next thing, is that I had opened the files of all the MLA’s who had criminal records. 47 followers of Rane were in the list I had made. These people would not have got tickets if the new decisions were implemented, and Rane would not have become minister. A powerful businessman + powerful politician against me, i had no chance.

     CSP: do you regret your decision to become a policewoman?
     MP: (recites a beautiful poem by narasimhaswamy) – nudiyalondu daari, nadeyalondu daari –
     says that you have to take everything as it comes…

976. Does anyone have the poem recited by MP ?
     I liked it a lot. I couldn’t hear the whole .

977. sanjay anna, i wrote the correct answer, and it sed it was wrong and my whle message dissapeared!!

978. Ha ha, yes Sanjay, the same thing happened to me too… and it was something simple like 11 + 2 or something. I am not that bad at addition either 🙂

     Hi all, I hope I don’t sound like I am promoting my blog or anything 😀 – but here is something I wrote today – please read it and give me your opinion on it – An open request from a Bangalorean

979. Oops, the link did not go through – http://nychthemeron.blogspot.com/2006/04/open-request-from-bangalorean.html

980. Shruthi, That was a fantastic writeup to make so called Hindi people understand why a bangalore could become his home town

     But one point i disagree is to unnecessarily blame cops every time. There shud be something called moral policing which should exist amongst every individual. Do any of us have guts to face the rowdies throwing stones with just an guard that too a rusted one ???? Do any of us have patience to show the kind of restraint that Cops show ????? Do any of us are ready to stand in the hot sun for 16-18 hrs when any of the top leaders come down to city ???? Did any of the people have guts to stop the speeding Scorpio ???

     For all these queries the answers will be “NO” its failure among people and not Police

981. namaskara sanjay and all muktha fans,
     i have been a regular reader of this site. but only today i felt i should congratualte all of you for making this site a grand success. most of u must have heard of SAHASRA CHANDRA DARSHANA(when a person celebrates his/her 80th b-day). i dont know whether i will celebrate that….but i will surely celebrate SAHASRA POSTgala DARSHANA on this site!
     coming to muktha, i am never a great serial buff. but just for his COURT SCENES, i started seeing it…and have become a fan of TNSee.
     finally, just wanted to sign off paying tributes to dr.raj.
     Kannada Cinema has indeed lost an actor non-pareil in the demise of Rajkumar. Very few actors will get the variety of roles that Rajkumar got in his career. And perhaps he was the last hero from the Actor-Singer era. I can hardly think of any hero who won a national award for singing.
     After the kidnap saga, not many fans got the opportunity to meet him. But I was extremely fortunate to have met him at his residence just nine months back. I spent nearly a couple of hours with him. Having been his fan since childhood, I had collected several pictures of Rajkumar. I showed him the scrapbooks, posters and collages that I had made and got them autographed by the legend himself. He said my collection had more pictures than his own personal albums. He recollected the trivia associated with every picture he saw in my scrapbook.
     After my meeting, I realised that Rajkumar was first a gem of a human being. Only then was he a gem of an actor.
     good luck to u all

982. Hello Mr T.N Seetharam,
     How are you filling life in everything?
     How can I help you other than enjoying your muktha, manvanthara, mayamriga…
     I am really determined and frustrated
     Unexpectedly I entered this site but very lucky
     You are also educating people than entertaing.
     This should be the aim of everyone..
     Ultimately what is your dream
     we need to expose a bit more reality i feel..
     and possible only from you
     like the way you are polishing the g-olden poems

     nadeyalondu daari nudiyalondu darri..
     my applauds and honour to all micro efforts involved..

983. Dear Mukta fans,

     First off many thanks for your detailed updates. My parents used to watch Mukta regularly in Bangalore. However, as they are here in USA visiting me, they missed it very much. I came across this website and they are very happy :). Looking forward to reading many such updates.

984. Amrutha, Shruti, sorry about that – that’s why I’d made a note that you better copy what you type so that you can paste it again! I have no idea why that happened 🙁 One possibility is, isit possible you submitted after a very long time in which case the page would’ve gotten expired and so the answer would’ve been irrelevant…

     Prasanna, I really liked your views about the police – theirs is definitely not a job I’d envy.

     Shruti please publicise whatever you want over here, anyway most people are here because of you only so you can as well consider this as your own page 8) ! I liked your article but haven’t found the bandwidth (as you can guess by the time stamp of this comment and also the lack of any new writing) to comment anything in particular

     namaskaara Bellur, nimma commentsige SAHASRA dhanyavaadagaLu! 😀 About Dr. Raj, I envy you 😈 because I’d wanted to visit his residence as well but somehow imagined a lot of hypothetical obstacles that I’d never be allowed inside so never really took it up seriously! This is a good lesson actually. Anyway very very nice to read about the wonderful time you had with him 8) thanks for sharing them here.

     namaskaara Manohar, lets hope that TNS sees your comments! I too wanted the wordings of the poem, I’m still hoping that Chaitanya might help… yellidyappa CHAITANYA ??

985. Hi All,
     This is a good opportunity for all of us to show our tribute to Dr.Raj Kumar by lighting candle online. it will take less than 15 seconds to perform this operation. Let us remember his contribution to Kannada and Kannada Culture…

     http://www.ibnlive.com/features/rajkumar/index.php

     Please forward this link to as many Kannadigas as possible.. and to as many Kannada group as possible.

     Dhanyavadhagalu,

986. Update – Apr 19th – Wednesday

     Aru sitting, sad and deep in thought. Calls her home, talks to Gowri and then her mother, and bursts out crying. Says she feels like seeing her mother, and says she will come soon, and then speak. Gowri asks if she is ok, she says yes, aamele mathadona.

     Cross examination of Madhavi Patel by SS.

     SS starts asking her questions about hypothetical situations. CSP objects, saying it is relevant, but SS says that just as CSP questioned SM on her investigative methods, he too has the right to question MP because she is a senior police officer. Judge overrules the objection.
     SS – Had you been the IO in this case, whom would you have suspected at first, taking into consideration all the available information?
     MP – I would have suspected me.
     SS – Ah, good..
     MP – BUT! Later I would have realised it is not me, after further investigation.

     SS – It is known for sure that AM died of a gunshot. And the driver even says that he saw you shoot him. Ok for a moment, let us disregard the driver’s statement. At that point, only you and AM were in the car, the bullet came from your gun, the car was your car. I say, that you had purposely taken out the brake oil, spoilt the car door on AM’s side so that it would not open. Then you, being a police officer, would be able to jump out, and you wanted the car to go and fall off the cliff. But at the last moment, you thought what if AM miraculously escaped, and so you shot at him to be sure. Now you are just saying that you shot to open the car door and it MAY have hit him accidentally.
     MP – no, everyhting that you are saying is false.

     SS – Now you always had a doubt that maybe AM died from your gunshot itself. Only after CSP brought forth his theory, that you felt you were not at fault at all. Now if CSP had not brought forth his theory, or, if I prove that his theory is wrong, then what would you think? that it was you only who shot him, right?
     MP – yes.
     Rane smiles.

     SS – I can prove you had lots of motive to kill AM. Your mother herself testified that you had announced that you would like to shoot him and kill him.
     MP – so, that does not mean i killed him.
     SS – but you hated him.
     MP – that does not mean i killed him. if everyone went around killing ppl they hate, everybody would kill at least 10 people each.

     SS – see, in 2000, you had put a case on Manmohan, for shooting a deer, and then later you put a B report on it. why?
     MP – no answer.
     SS – i say that it is a false case just to take revenge on AM. You spent all your life trying to take revenge on AM, because he took your mother away from you.
     Also, when there was an argument about who should give treatment to your mother, you went to court and brought a stay that AM was not even married to Indira, and so he has no right to provide her with treatment. You implied that your mother was in a dirty relationship with a man. How could you do that?
     MP – NO it is not like that.
     SS – but that is what you implied.
     MP – but it was just to enable me to give treatment to her.
     SS – so what, the implication is the same. You wanted to bring a bad name to AM.

987. I might have forgotten something in my update – not feeling too clear-headed this morning 🙂

     Yes Sanjay, you are right. I had opened the page, and left it open, and then commented after a long time, put in the sum, and submitted, and then it failed to accept. And anyway i am very careful to copy it first, before submitting. have had some bad experiences 😀

     And thanks a lot, I will consider it my page and do some more blog popularization then, heh heh 😀

     Prasanna, thanks. I meant no disrespect to the police. I added that because I read somewhere that the root cause was indecision of the police – first thinking of placing the body in palace grounds, then kanteerava stadium, etc. The fans were disgruntled, and rebelled.
     I found a new respect for the police during those Rainy days last year. I saw them drenched, standing in knee deep water and guiding traffic. I then decided never to speak ill of them. Here I thought I was stating facts, but if I am wrong, then I accept it. Also, prasanna, it would be nice if you could put this same comment on my blog. Other people who are reading it, can read it in that context, and they can also be enlightened.

     And Bellur Ramachandra is right, 1000 comments calls for a celebration 🙂 I wonder if any other blog has so many comments? :)))

988. Friends,
     One more thing about Dr.Raj’s public image across the cultures.
     Loooonng back, may be in 1992, I happened to visit Hyderabad with my friends, through a school trip. We hired a guide to show us across the city. This guy showed us all the places of interest in the city, also took us across to the then underconstruction film city also. On the way, he made it a point to give a visit to the Telugu movie legend A. Nageshwara Rao. I hail from a Telugu dominant part of karnataka. So we were all pretty excieted to see a legend in flesh and real. As soon as ANR learnt that we were from Karnataka, he said “Hey you are from the place of Dr.Rajkumar. I respect him a lot and I’ve learnt a great deal from him”!!!!! Just these comments made us very proud of the fact that we live in a state where Annavru lives!!
     This is just one example of how legendry his legacy has been across the borders too..! He, apart from entertaining many generations of Kannadigas, gave a pride of being a ‘Kannadiga’, which is more important.
     I was a school going child then, but I still remember this encounter with ANR, in particular, his comments about our Annavru. I feel sorry for ourselves to have lost a person of this high calibre. Thus I bid my tearful adieu to this greatest ever kannadiga. Long live his legacy, long live his values.
     Thanks.

989. In yesterday’s episode, I felt Gowri’s acting was something artifical (while talking to Arunadhati). Or may be she has changed after she became the CEO of a company.

990. About the policeman there is a Sub-Inspector Called Nagaraju who hails from Hospet and manages the Traffic here at Hyderabad. One day during a lunch time i was waiting for my friend standing i saw him reading “Sudha” immediately rushed to speak to a horanadina Kannadiga . He told me that he was working with STF operating to catch Veerappan and his specialization was scoop at running Dacoit and catch them. After Op veerappan was over he was specifically called by the Govt of Hyd after reading an article in DH about him. His Job is to Scoop at Traffic Rule Offender and he doesn’t care whether its a 2 wheeler, 4 wheeler and the offender is somehow bought to book. He showed me how he does that and He Ran about 50 Mts before Scooping a Maruthi Van guy . Now the area where he manages the traffic is so disciplined that no one dares to jump a signal or overspeed. We need more such breeds who dont care for their life but need results.

     Whenever i see him I feel like saying Jai Karnataka Mathe

991. Prasanna its really interesting to read about this Kannada cop being called specifically by AP govt. Hats off to him.
     The Karnataka govt(s) needs to learn a lot from its neighbouring state govts.

992. Hello all, sorry folks, didn’t watch that particular episode, so kavite gottaglilla. Not that I would have known it, but would have tried to recollect. Anyway, next time sure will write them down.

     Shruthi, Nice post in your blog and really would enlighten many, I guess. Keep it up!

     I wouldn’t like to comment anything on Dr. Raj’s funeral day. 50 years of glorious and rich entertainment by the great man to us and we only talk about that one day, I think its a disgrace. Its time we forget the bad incident and talk about the great man and his life, and possibly learn from it.

     Chaitanya

993. yellarigu namaskara….
     congrats folks….this blog has crossed the 1000 mark in a jiffy! on the other side of life, feeling sad after reading in one of the posts that MUKTHA will soon get a MUKTHAya. really, this serial which was close to reality. i really liked the manner in which it was shot, the names of characters and places…sounds so natural! and how can i forget the COURT SCENES? too good.
     also, i like the MUKTHA SAMVADA. very interesting to hear rare snippets and fresh opinions from both public and TNS and co.
     and shruthi, in a hurry, u have typed my grandpa’s name! i am bellur ramakrishna.
     felt nice about the VEERA KANNADIGA COP in HYD. it is people like him who inspire others.
     and, sanjay, why dont u meet TNS and do an interview, tell him about ur blog which has crossed the 1000 posts….u can get an audience with him…..just a suggestion from a well-wisher…..
     good luck to u all

994. Bellur Ramakrishna, apologies! I don’t know what I was thinking when I typed your grandfather’s name!

     Prasanna, that was a great story of the cop. Keep such nice stories coming in!

     Sanjay, as I write this, we are neighbours :0 – In the Indian Bloggers’ site! 6 and 7 🙂

995. Hi

     bye

999. SAMAJA SEVE FOR TODAY 🙂 – UPDATE OF MUKTHA – THURSDAY – APRIL 20.

     ———

     Gowri and Amma are talking, and Amma is upset that Aru is sad. She says, it seems like she is not happy about her marriage with PK, koragtha iddaLe. Gowri explains what happened, that Indira had come and asked her to get married soon. She says, its not Indira’s fault either, it was the mother in her speaking, etc. Aru is upset because she and Manmohan love each other, but due to various reasons, are not getting together. Amma is upset. She says, already I don’t like Aru marrying PK. If Aru agreed to marry him only because of this reason, and she cannot refuse him now, then we will talk to him and explain. I don’t understand all this preeti – tyaaga. Why should you lose your happiness so that somebody else can be happy?

     Arundhati has come home, is sitting with Gowri, Thatha and Ajji, and asks where Amma is. They say that Purushotthama and Priya have taken Amma and Nanjunda to some jaathre(?). Aru is upset, says how can they go when I am here? Ajji- Thatha try to comfort her, and then again pick up the topic of Pramod Kumar and say, why should you have gone and accepted him? Film star and already married? What was your hurry, you could have got a better person, etc, etc. Aru is irritated, she walks out and cries. Gowri scolds Thatha-Ajji and says, can’t you see, she is upset… why do you speak like that?

     Aru is in the room, crying. Gowri goes in to comfort her. Aru says she feels she should not marry PK, and Gowri scolds her, saying, I asked you to think and decide. Aru, says, at that time, i was strong, but after having come to know that Manmohan is not marrying Supriya, I am now weak. the very reason I agreed to marry PK is now not existing any more. But how can I tell Manmohan why I agreed to marry PK, and how can I tell PK I cannot marry him? And she cries.

     Court scene.

     SS is providing evidence after evidence that looks like MP has committed the crime.

     1) MP had already got intelligence reports that there would be galaate, still she did not deploy reserve police. When MP says that she went by Ranganath’s words, because he was a local inspector and would know the situation better, SS rebukes her. He says, an SP has the higher authority. You should have overruled his decision.

     2) They had got the pamphlets in the police meeting itself, with Sadanand Patel’s name there. MP did not arrest Sadanand Patel, even though she knew, because he was her father. If seh had, all this would not have happened. MP says his name was not there in the pamphlet she received, but she does not remember whose name was there.

     3) MP had gone into hiding for 4 days after the incident. Why? She could have gone to SK Desai, or to the CM himself, and told everything as it is. But no, she went into hiding. It shows her guilt. When MP says that she did it because she could not decide what to do, SS ridicules her.

     4) MP could have taken her mother also in the car, when taking AM to the forest guest house. Why protect only AM and not his wife? That means that MP knew that the car would meet a bad fate. Thats why she did not take her mother. Because she knew she could jump out in time, but could not make her mother jump out in time. MP says that she had a premonition, her left eye was fluttering (edagaNNU adarutthitthu), and she felt something bad would happen, and so did not take her mother. SS laughs and says, what is this, you give speeches against superstition and now you state all this as reasons. MP says, we tend to believe everything when our mothers are concerned, isn’t it? then she says, so, I am being suspected just because i did not take my mother in the car is it? Chinte illa. No regrets. She adds softly – if I had taken her, I don’t know what would’ve happened to her, she might not have survived. I want my mother to be with me. Nothing else matters. [a tear rolls down her cheek]
     [really good acting]

1000. 1000th comment is mine! Yay!
      😀

1001. Congratulations Sanjay … Muktha BLOG has received 1000 comments .. Thanks to you for facilitating this

1002. hi shruthi,
      thanks for the regular updates. after i read yesterdays’ update abt arundathi, i felt she is so fickle minded. allappa, if she loves manmohan, helbidodappa…..but just because his mom, mrs.AM came and spoke to arundathi, she is wavering in her thoughts…..actually it is easy to sit here and type comments…..imagine the story-writer’s plight…..yella tharanoo yochane maadbeku….and he must make it interesting. and if we just imagine ourselves to be the character, it is really confusing. haage nodidre, it is difficult to enact a role where u have to look sad and keep crying, what do u say? arundathi has acted well(like everybody else). sometimes, i feel gowri’s dialogue delivery is very artificial, alwa?
      after i read the update, thought i missed seeing madhavi patel’s acting.
      and finally, thamashege BACKUP FILE andhe ;)….please keep ur name in the comments as ‘shruthi’….not ‘backup file shruthi’…..ok naa?
      PS: i also saw ur blog…..very incisive and well thought and written articles……u ought to be writing for THE HINDU(‘coz this is a serious newspaper). good luck.

1003. Sanjay, I think it’s time you came out of hiding and distributed sweets 🙂

1004. [bit busy off late… 🙁 ]

      Usha, you may upload it in some site (or mail it to me) and enclose it in an a comment tag within a HTML IMG tag.

      Bellur, I suppose she really cares and so she’s in such an ethical controversy, else she wouldn’t have bothered and just done whatever she liked.

      Susheel, Anitha, and yellarigu nimma protsaahakke nammelara paravaagi dhanyavaadagaLu 🙂

      Ammu, nanna agnyaanakke kshamisabeku, hesaru kELidangide aadre avaru yaaru antha nanage gottilla… anyway it sounds like it was quite an honor… good!

      samaaja sevaki Shrutiavare 😉 indeed you are right that your’s is the 1000th comment! Your updates are as good as watching a retelcast esp the recent one 🙂 Sooner or later we’ll all meet up maybe in Girish’s house – but until then, antharjaaladalli sweets hege koDodu? yavdaadru sihi nuDigaLannu kELabahudashTe… so here is one of the best songs ever (in my opinion) naadamaya [wanted to post the lyrics also but couldn’t find them online]

1005. hi sanjay,
      yes….she may take time to decide….but when she does, she takes the right one.
      and just want to let u know, kasturi shankar is a singer who has sung more bhavageete than chitra geete.
      And want to tell u a few things about NAADAMAYA(which is my favourite too). This song, which won Rajkumar the national award for best playback singing(1992), may not be a very unusual song, but no other film actor in India could have sung it. It is based on raga Todi, with its complex graces, and strings other ragas as it progresses. He switches ragas with ease, and sings complex swara patterns like a professional classical artiste.
      These are the lyrics (i have recalled them from my memory….i am not putting the SWARAS…as i am not very sure about them)

      Film: Jeevana Chaithra
      Lyrics: Chi. Udayashankar
      Music Director: Upendrakumar

      naadamaya ee lokavella
      kolalinda govinda ananda tandiralu
      nadiya neeru mugila saaru muraliya
      swaradi beretu chalane marethu ninthiralu
      naadamaya

      swaragala madhurya ragada soundarya
      mrigagala kunise khagagala tanise
      sadagaradinda gaganada anchinda
      suraru bandu hariya kandu harushadi
      bhuviye swarga bhuviye swarga enutiralu
      naadamaya

1006. Hi to all, been watching Muktha regularly. I have a small doubt. Madhavi patil says her left eye was twitching and she felt something bad was about to happen. When we were small, we were told, for males if left twitches, and for females right eye twitching indicates that something bad is about happen. Am I wrong ???

1007. Hi vani avare,
      Its never same in every case, We were ‘told’ like what u said, and we understand the signs of nature accordingly. It all depends on how we read our ‘omens’. Infact, nature gives us some indications about what is happening., we just have to read it accordingly. When some indication comes, there is a possibility that i take it in one way and another man takes it in a different way. It all depends on how profecient one is in hearing the ‘voice of the nature’.
      Madhavi patel read it as a bad indication, no need that someone else take it the same way.
      I think so.

1008. The move by CSP was indeed smart by bringing in Chhabria as a witness rather than defence witness. That move really stumped SS.

1009. Brief update of Muktha – Friday.

      CSP calls out to his next witness, Sunil Chhabria. All are surprised, but judge says that it is indeed valid. Upon CSP’s request, a summons is sent to Chhabria, and his passport is impounded.

      Next scene, Chhabria at court, saying tht defence paravaagi he has nothing to say, and he has a board meeting in France and he has to go, and makes a big fuss. Both CSP and judge put him in his place. He is sworn in. CSP dwells upon the following points.

      1) That he was not unwell at all – it was just a ploy to escape coming to court. When SS tries to raise an objection against some questioning, CSP says that you have no right, because he is my witness. He speaks sarcastically to Chhabria.

      2) Chhabria denies that he gave money to UG’s parents, but the suitcase has his name and company logo embossed. Chhabria says that it is mine, but the money is not mine. So CSP says, did u give them khali suitcase? Chhabria glares at UG, and CSP tells him not to glare, because he hasd given money and asked Gopinath not to give saakshi, not his wife.

      3) CSP proves that Chhabria had never been convenor of any jaathre or rathotsava before, and it was for this purpose itself that he had organized a jaathre one month before the actual one.

      4) Chhabria says that vajrada kavcha thodisbekitthu AM hesarinalli because of the abhimaana he had against him. So CSP asks if he had done this for any other politician, he has no answer.

      5) CSP asks why he did not invite CM for the jaathre, Chhabria asks, whats the connection between CM and this? So CSP asks, then what is the connection between RAne and this, why did u call Rane?

      6) CSP proves that AM had a party meeting tht same day, so CHHabria went and forced AM to cancel that and come hre instead.

      7) CSP asks how much the vajrada kavcha costs – Chhabria says, 27 lakhs. CSP says, where is it, Chhab says, in the guest house. CSP says, produce it. Judge also issues the order. But Chhabria gets flustered, he says it is misplaced. CSP smiles, says , 27 lakhs object misplaced? Have you issued a police complaint for it? He stays silent. Let me tell u why u cannot produce it, coz it does not even exist. You had not even got it made. Because you knew that by the time the kavcha thodisodu should have happened, AM would be dead and you knew it.

1010. hello everybody,
      y’day i was watching the ‘muktha samvada’. some people ask really good questions. sample: why do u show IO in all court scenes when in reality it is not so?
      TNS replied that “Only to show their facial reactions we have them in each episode.I know in reality that isnt the case.” That is why TNS is so dear to people. He is very frank, straightforward, simple and accepts his mistakes(if any).
      today is the first birth anniversary of dear ‘annavru’ and the 33rd b-day of tendulkar.I say RIP to both….REST IN PEACE to annavru, and RECOVER IN PEACE to sachin. it is a coincidence that both their brothers stood behind them and both raj and sachin shone like gems in their chosen field. one donned all possible roles in films, the other on the cricket field.
      coming to muktha, chabbria avrige shukravaarane CSP avru kat-katenalli bevar ilsidru……ivattu innu yenu kaadidyo!!

1011. Bellur, it was even better to listen to the song following the lyrics you’ve posted!

      Srik, I find your explanation very agreeable “It all depends on how we read our ‘omens’.” Anyone can read the book Alchemist by Paulo Coelho where he touches on such things though its not the main point of the story. I’m not the one to go into too much of over-interpretation to such things, its very easy to get misled by imaginative speculation based on past experiences.

      bye

1013. Dear Sanjay,

      Did you Announce the New Development to all about which you mailed me yest ???

1014. Scene 1 – Aru’s colleague and her boss at the TV station – discuss about Annapurnamma – her goodness and all, and the boss tells her to go and interview her family, but after a few days, since she died recently, and also tells her to take Aru’s help.

      Court scene – CSP classifies Chhabria as a hostile witness, since, though he was a defence witness, he thinks that MP and SKD are criminals, and asks to cross-examine him instead. JUdge agrees, he proceeds.

      He again touches upon the same points as in yday’s update – and some more points – and says… so many coincidences – 14 of them in fact, and he mentions a great detective of West Bengal who says that if there are so many coincidences, something is fishy.

      He also says that the guy who was caught in South AFrica, Nary, has confessed to the local police, and given Gangaswamy’s number to them. Though Chhabria says he does not know who Gangaswamy is, CSP says that the MUmbai police are looking for all the calls that have gone to Gangaswamy’s number, and hints at him to be careful.

      Next he proves taht Chhabria’s guest house is under very high security, and if you need to go in, you need an access card. But on the day of the killing, the driver says that the car fell off the cliff into Chhabria’s guest house campus, and he actually went in and touched AM’s hand to see if he was alive and then only went to tell the otehrs. So how did Devraj get in? It is because Chhabria himself must have given him the access card, else it is not possible to get in without alarms blaring.
      _________________________________________________________

      Apologies for the brief update – very busy today.

1015. There was a spelling mistake in Yesterday’s episode. In the newspaper which CSP show to SC, the word ‘apprehended’ was spelt as ‘apperhended’. I wonder how did this pass through TNS (or rather CSP’s) eagle eyes, who give attention to the minutest details!!!.
      (Off Topic: This kind of spelling mistakes occur often in ‘Hi Bangalore’)

1016. Avinash, I observed that too. Even last time, when CSP was showing what he called the “Johannesburg Times”, there were a number of such spelling mistakes. That too in bold 🙂 I had pointed it out in this space too.
      I was also surprised 🙂 A simple spell check would have done the trick!

1017. One more thing Avinash did you observe that the Kannada paper was giving the Ad of Chaabria Guest House Installation in English. You could clearly see it as a kannada paper from Behind.

1018. Hi Prasanna,
      Did u also notice that the spelling of Johannesburg was spelt ‘JOHANSBURG’? And the english paper which CSP shows as “Johansburg Times” can be easily identified as Times Of India.
      Some kind of lethargy is creeping in towards the end overs in Team Muktha, what do u say?

1019. Unlike other serials, which is based purely on some fiction story , where not much of preparation is required….
      There is so much of work involved in creating each and every episode of TNS’s serials especially the court scenes. Where they show so many proofs .. undoubtedly it is quite hard work for TNS. It is more prone to errors .. they do creep in… I think we should appreciate TNS for his perfection 99% of the times and forgive him for his mistakes the other 1% of the time 🙂

1020. If ‘Johansburg Times’ mis-spell some words, why blame TNS!!! 😉

      Jokes apart, I too appreciate (99.99% 🙂 ) TNS for his perfection and also for this fantastic serial. This error got to my notice because it was in bold and with big size.

      Another interesting thing I observed is, whenever CSP is cross examining the witnesses, you can always see along with other people, a lady lawyer and she is always smiling. 🙂

1021. Prasanna, they do give English ads in Kannada newspapers sometimes. Btw I don’t know how to announce but I better do it soon, most of my personal friends dont know either.

      Avinash thought you’d figure out why your lines come in a straight line like that but finally here’s a clue 🙂

      Put many spaces at the start of your line… that defines the line as fixed like this one, similar to using the PRE html tag.

      “If ‘Johansburg Times’ mis-spell some words, why blame TNS!!!” 😆

      Shruti, Though of course I miss the details, your update to the best of my memory is pretty comprehensive – can’t think of any more important points except the 14 coincidences which I cant remember myself.

      I like the way CSP ‘prepares’ the situation for each question, he asks background questions like discussing about security arrangements for the office, etc and then when any breach of security, etc is totally ruled out, then asks the critical question! This is very similar to playing chess. In the course of a game, a good chess player ‘prepares’ the board, sometimes even sacrifices a key piece simply to get another piece in the right place (or out of the wrong place!), to eliminate all possibilities of defence, and then make the crucial attack! 😀

1022. Hi all,
      I feel these misses of TNS wouldn’t have been caught so easily, if it were to be some other serial,
      But God! it is Muktha, watched by so many people, with a lot of curiousity and concentration.
      He can’t make a simple mistake too. We have such a level of expectation from him.
      Hope TNS will live upto our expectations!!!!!!
      lol 😉

1023. Ha ha, Avinash, that lady lawyer is being seen only from the past 2-3 episodes, and yes, she is always smiling and enjoying herself 🙂
      And yes, lets give him a little space to make mistakes 😀
      Actually what happens in other serials is that one eye and one ear is on the TV, and the other ear and eye are elsewhere, still you will get the story. In Muktha, all ears and eyes are on TV, and sometimes, for the updater, even that is not enough 😀
      That is why we tend to catch any mistake – because our senses are very sharp while watching Muktha 🙂
      Sanjay, maybe you should put up a new post for the announcement 🙂

1024. Shruthi has a point why we are not able to catch the laxity on the other serials. Anyway If one is cent percent perfect he none other than God or closer to god.

      The group pic of Dr. Raj Kumar is indeed nice. His Face outlook never changed till the end .

1025. http://nychthemeron.blogspot.com/2006/04/open-request-from-bangalorean.html

      Shruthi the Comments by many are really heated ones, I was imagining what if all those guys commenting meet inperson. Iam happy with our Sanjay anna

1026. Prasanna, ha ha.. the topic is like that :D. It was getting out of hand – plus people just said the same thing again and again – I got tiring of replying and repeating myself. And you cannot even ignore it, you see, when someone says something you think is wrong! I closed the comments, and I am feeling quite relieved now!
      If those commenters had met me, they would have bashed me up 😀
      Btw, did not get in what context you said you are happy with our Sanjay Anna. {Of course, we are too ;), but just asked :D}

1027. Shruthi, it got truncated I mentioned that I’am happy with our Sanjay anna testing our Skill set in Maths and we having a quite non-violent chat.

1028. hi sanjay,
      it is only a few days since i have started posting comments here. but i have been reading the comments in ur blog for quite some time. so i have been a silent admirer of ur site.
      sincerely, after muktha is over, and as the posts keep getting added, it may touch the 2000 mark soon. why not get a book published containing all posts?
      and it can contain articles and anecdotes related to muktha written by urself, shruthi, prasanna, shrik and others….
      btw, eager to know what is the new development.
      regards
      malleswaramite

1029. about “apprehended being apperhended”: when i was seeing Muktha, when there were very intense and interesting episodes going on, i was more likely to miss such glitches, as almost my entire concentration would have been invested in understanding the character, their thoughts, the scenario.. so my theory is when the serial becomes very interesting, we should miss such common mistakes. Another example to support my theory: lets say you are reading a very good book and you are at the most interesting phase in the book, i would bet that you will not observe any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors at that intance..

      waiting eagerly for todays update..

1030. Hi, read this immediately 🙂
      http://msanjay.weblogs.us/entries/338/un-singled

1031. Cross examination of Chhabria continues.

      CSP continues giving proof of Chhabria’s guilt.

      He asks for Chhabria’s secret phone number, and produces the itemized bill of that phone. He shows that on the day of the killing, at around 2 20, Chhabria had got a call on his cell from his guest house. Who could it be, since he had given a holiday to all the employees of the guest house, to see the jaathre? It had to be only one person, Devaraj.
      Also, at 2 25 or something, Chhabria has called the number of Gangaswamy. Why, if Chhabria did not even know Gangaswamy, did he call him and talk to him for 6 minutes??
      Then immediately after that, Chhabria has again called the guest house and talked to, obviously Devaraj.

      This proves these things.

      1) Chhabria had given the identity card for the gate, and electronic card to enter guest house to Devaraj, otherwise he would never have got in. And why would Chhabria want to associate with a supari killer Devaraj?
      Also, Chhabria claimed that he got to know about the murder at 5 30, whereas he already knew at 2 20 itself.

      2) Chhabria has called Gangaswamy. Why links with an underworld don?

      3) Chhabria has given holiday to the guest house employees, not to facilitate them to see the jaathre, but just to see that there are no witnesses.

      CSP then goes on to prove that the scenario that happened was as follows.

      Devaraj drove the car towards the cliff, pretended the brakes are not working, and jumped out. Later when he went to the accident scene hoping to see the bodies of AM and MP, he is shocked to see that neither of them is in the car or in the accident scene. That means both have escaped with their lives. Immediately Devaraj goes to the guest house, opens the door with the e-card that Chhabria has given, reports this to Chhabria, and waits for further instructions. Chabria calls Gangaswamy,and gives instructions to Devaraj to shoot and kill AM. Accordingly, Devaraj goes back to the site, finds AM alive, and kills him by shooting him there!! And then drags him and places him under the car.

      Chhabria is sweating, has nothing to say.

1032. I have a doubt in CSP’s theory. If AM was killed outside the car, as CSP suggests, then why so much blood inside the car? Maybe there is one more aspect to it. Let’s wait and see.

      Anoop, your analogy with the book is very correct. If I am reading the climax of a book, I don’t even remember the names that I am reading 🙂
      But I thought it was not the case in Muktha, because I at least, watch and listen as keenly as possible, because I have another role to perform too – to tell other people what has happened, as correctly as possible!

1033. Hi,
      First of all, let me congratulate Sanjay anna for the good news he has announced in un-singled. Its true that one has to get hooked at some point in life. Hope this journey will be sweet for you 🙂

      Hmmmmm About Chhabria… He agreed that he has a secret number, its all so amazing how CSP got him accept his mark. Will be eagerly waiting for today’s episode as there are so many other ‘coincidents’ to be exposed.

      Samaja sevaki Shruti avare ;), Its a good work. I, keep forgetting so many important points after watching the serial, but get them all added to my ROM with your updates. Thanks for making Muktha live again.

      Its difficult to say if it is Muktha’s popularity or the professionalism of this blog manager(ala sanjay) or the interest of the participants in this discussion for the success of this site. I think its all of these factors clubbed in an ardent blend. Congratulations to everyone involved.

      You know, the very first thing I did today morning was to open this page.

      well.. Let me hope TNS will comeup with many more such flicks and our ‘coomon man’s community will grow with each of them.

1034. Hey Shruti,
      I think u missed one point here.
      CSP says that he has provided the details of the call links of chhabria and Gangaswamy to the Bombay police who are on a red alert against him and are searching for every minute details.
      He irks chabria by saying Bombay police are not like our Inspector Ranganath, they are very very strict.
      His expressions when saying this was very good.

1035. Sanjay Anna will now on Master the Physics Epic Resnick and Halliday knowing which theory is in which page and ofcourse the formulae for each of them.

1036. hi sanjay,
      hope u dont give physics test before we can post our comments.
      eg: 1) If the power of a motor is 40kw, At what speed can it raise a load of 20,000n?congrats once again.
      2) The refractive index of glass is 3/2. What is the critical angle for glass-air surface?(sin 42ºc=2/3)
      joking……;)
      CONGRATS once again.

      hi shruthi,
      u r right. “If AM was killed outside the car, as CSP suggests, then why so much blood inside the car?”. maybe, the thugs pulled AM inside the car and shot him there….i think. remember, CSP showed evidence that AM was dragged from where he fell.

1037. Congratulations Sanjay, on your engagement.I wish happiness throughtout your life.

      I appologise for posting a general info on Muktha blog, i could not resist sharing this info with all of you.

      In my recent visit to H D Kote near Mysore(also known as Heggada devana Kote) , i happened to visit Sri Vivekananda Ashram engaged in Eductaion and Tribal rehabiliation. I was gratified to see the contribution of the organisation in serving the Tribal and rural community in that area.
      We had detailed discussions and took a tour of campus with the caretakers there to understand their activities. My cheers to laudable initiative and dedicated services by Dr Balasubramanyam and his team. Their education model is so unique in the campus that i was tempted to be a child again and join their school as student.They teach agriculture(Compulsary period along with their curriculam), crafts, arts, yoga, meditation, green awareness (Vanamahotsava -this initiative is the best of all where child is given complete ownership of particular portion land to cultivate, maintain and safeguard )Well equipped computer room(Teachers here prepare their own curriculam and program modules for their school children) , very neatly kept Library, Labs were in excellent condition surprisingly i found these labs better than city schools (Funny part is the specimens they have collected for Zoology and botany lab were collected by the school children themselves and preserved for study- Here i am quoting vast collection of insects, snakes etc)

      Here’s link to their website http://www.svym.net.Those interested in supporting the movement can definitely get in touch with them.

1038. I failed to understand one thing in yesterday’s episode.

      What was CSP’s explanation to ….the reason Chabria had given the access card to the guest house to driver Devraj ?

      Why did Devraj need the access card to the guest house …

      Can somebody explain this

1039. Anitha, Actually a Security Company called Eagle Electronics does a High Level Security setup like Access Card System, Burglar Alarm, Electrical Barbed Wires etc…. So to enter thru the Main gate you need the ID card without which it was not possible to enter.

1040. Prasanna , I understand the concept of security system … thats not what i am asking …

      what was the reason to give the access card to Devraj, why did Chabria think that after the accident Devraj will have to enter the guest house ?

1041. Anita, it might be for this reason that Devaraj enter the guest house (after the incident!) and inform/update Rane and Chhabria over phone about the operation status.

1042. Hi All… It’s great to be back here after so long… Shruthi, the reason for finding so much blood inside the car could be very simple. Rane and Chhabria had to make it look like MP shot AM, and they also needed a witness to plant the idea and also corroborate it.. This was possible only if the driver said so, and hence they had to stage the accident inside the car. So they could have very well bought a bottle of blood, of the same group as AM’s and sprayed it inside the car, as also on the driver’s shirt.

      I remember CSP mentioning an interesting, related fact during the cross-examination of Inspector Ranganath (if I remember right..). He mentions that R had obtained a bottle of blood of the same group as AM from a blood bank, the evening of the accident. Hope someone can recollect the name of the bloodbank…???

1043. Sanjay: congrats on your engagement.

      Shruthi: have never seen muktha from your point of view, recording conversations, so I never know. this makes ur efforts even more commendable..

      Anitha: they(chabria and rane) had planned to make the car crash inside chabrias compound. so my interpretation is, maybe getting into the compound also needs access card and they obviously wanted Devraj to check out the crash site. If this is not convincing enough, i leave it to the experts: shruthi, sanjay, …(i may be wrong, as im not able to see muktha on tv, but with the help of this blogspace, Im able to re-enact the characters using my imagination)

1044. Congrats sanjay, wish you all the best.

      Great work shruti. Thanks.

1045. Update – Wednesday – 26th April.

      Condolence meeting at Annapurna food products. Madhuvanti is chairing the meet. Mahesh sitting next to her. Some 7-8 ppl around the table, including Gowri and Mr.Pai. Discussion starts about Gowri’s role in the company. Gowri speaks about the future of the company, Madhu says she is talking as if she is the only one who is worried about the company. Gowri denies that she meant it that way. Some people praise her, saying the company rose to heights because of her. Madhuvanti is not happy. She says, my mother, out of love, gave Gowri lots of responsibilities, but it will not be so any more. She will still be the CEO, but she has to report to us. She will have no decision making rights, nor signing rights. Pai interrupts, saying that he heard that the will was in Gowri’s name. Madhu says, no thats not right, and Mahesh asks him to stop poking into private affairs. Meeting ends, Gowri requests everybody to observe 2 min silents for madam’s atma’s shanti.

      Gowri comes home with headache, tells ajji, amma and Nanjunda about what happened at the meeting. Ajji says it is a wonder they did not take you out of the job itself, and Amma says don’t go too much into doddamanushyara affairs. Just do your job, thats all. Nanjunda wonders about the will, asks if Annapurnamma had signed the new will. Gowri says she does not know, coz she died just 2 days after she decided to change the will. Nanjunda asks if she does not find it suspicious. He says, don’t yuo think Mahesh and Madhu might have done something to her, after finding this out? Do you think they are not that kind? Gowri is shocked, then she thinks, and finds that Nanjunda might be right. She and Nanjunda decide to meet Annapurnamma’s lawyer Padmanabhaiah. Ajji says, ask him to come home and meet him here, there, somebody might hear and tell Mahesh and that will be dangerous.

      A doctor (did not catch his name) goes to meet the judge Nagbhushana Gowda. Doctor says, you wanted to meet me, but for me, patient is first. I did not want you coming to see me, ame being busy with patient, and you getting angry and going off. So I only came to see you. Judge thanks doctor, asks, do u want tea or coffee? Doc says, no, i drink only eLneer, its good for the health. Judge sends someone to get eLneer, and they talk.
      Judge says that he and his wife have two children. His daughter left home 6 years back after some misunderstanding. She is very sensitive and hence short-tempererd. She is in calcutta now, and she calls once in a while. My son is a s/w engr in USA, living there for the past one year. Now it is only my wife and I. I am very emotionally attached to my wife. From the time this case started, she has not been feeling well. She first had irregular heartbeat and tiredness, we showed cardiac surgeon, he conducted tests and said that everything is ok. Then she started having disorientation and memory loss. We went to a specialist, he did a brain scan and said that there is a cyst in the brain stem. He said that it can be operated, and the best neurosurgeon is Sarangapani. But he is booked for the next 3 months. I requested him, but he did not budge. Is it dangerous to have the operation after 3 months? Is there no other doctor?
      The doctor says, this is a delicate operation, and Sarangapani is the best guy to do it. Three months might not be too late or anything, but we need to get the cyst out as fast as possible.
      Judge says, I heard that Sarangapani was your student, can you please request him to do this one surgery quickly? My wife is in ICU. I am not a rich man, cannot bear the costs of the hospital. Even now I am taking loans to pay hospital fees. Not only that, I am worried about her life. I cannot lose her. Please do this for me, he asks with folded hands.
      Doctor says, I don’t usually request like that, but I have heard you are a good judge, I will do this for you.

1046. more detailed reply soon, just a note of THANKS 🙂 to all. And btw she and her family are muktha fans as well 😉 bellur tnx for the idea, hadnt thought of it till now…

1047. Typo – it is “silence” not “silents” in the prev message.

      Guru, Anoop, thanks 🙂 My pleasure 😉

      Diya, Hi, long time no see 🙂 Hey I did not know about that bottle of blood incident – I might have missed that episode. You are right. There is the answer to the mystery! As always, Lady CSP to the rescue 😉

      Usha, very interesting info and link!

1048. Hey Shruti,
      that doctor is Krishna Das,
      The guy is the same one who is respected in that parrt of the world(Hemagiri and Sudukoppa) as a sharp man. He also has a doc’s shop where he helps poor ppl.
      He was blamed to be a stethascope doctor by AM, but MP respected him a lot and got her mother admitted at this guy’s hospital where IA indeed got relief for her problem.
      Ans also, this guy is the one who was in a panel to select doctors for the dharmada aaspatre that Annapurnamma dedicated to the Matha.

      Hmmm I know only this much details of the doctor.

      And the Lady CSP is back with a point of that bottle of blood!!!!
      It was a slip with most of the Muktha audiences!!
      Well.. That might be a point among CSP’s 14 coincidents of AM murder.

1049. I guess, the doctor is ‘Kiran Das’.

      Not sure why this new twist of doctor meeting the judge is introduced! Will it be related to the case later or this is just another parallel thread started, to prolong the serial?

      Chaitanya

1050. Oh, so HE is Kiran Das.. Had heard a lot about him, but did not know what he looked like (started watching Muktha just 7-8 months back). Missed the name yday also coz i started watching a minute after the serial started.

      I have one more doubt. Judges are in the employ of the government right? I think they have medical reimbursement for family illnesses. Am I right about this? IF so, why should he take loans to pay hospital bills?

      This incident might come into picture sometime in connection to the case – the judge might have to defer it a bit, because of urgent operation, or something like that. lets see.

1051. Chaitanya, this new thread might be for TNS to put forth his views on todays’ families and relationships within familes, and how ‘Software Engineer’ children desert their parents and go to US ( and other foreign countries) in search of some illusions, etc. 🙂

1052. Shruthi

      I think Medical reimbursement is only restricted to certain slab of some 15,000 to 20,000 per anuum and any hospitilisations more than 24 hr only are covered under employee medical insurances, but major hefty amount which is billed for scans, any tests (ex Blood tests) are not covered in any of these. This is the case with employees of pvt concerns so i m sure medical insurance companies dont cover it either so judge might be talking abt that amount.

      Usha

1053. yes usha, u r right. medical reimbursement if for 15-20K. and avinash yes, to a certain extent, “‘Software Engineer’ children desert their parents and go to US ( and other foreign countries) in search of some illusions, etc.”.

      (in the last one week, i saw both KIRAN DAS and SK DESAI riding ‘scooter’ in malleswaram 10th cross and 15th cross respectively.)

      sanjay, nnanu kottiro idea kaaryagatha aagali antha nanna aase. aa nittinalli, nanna sahaaya nimage idde ide.

1054. Hi Shruthi… Thanx for remembering me and more importantly my “title” 🙂 And I think what Usha mentioned about slabs is also right.. Another fact is that the government insists that to claim reimbursement, it’s employees need to take the treatment from a list of certain hospitals. These are mostly the aided or government hospitals. Also, for certain illnesses like say cancer,TB, etc..one is supposed to go to the specialized hospital in the list provided. Like Kidwai or the TB Institute… If this condition is not complied with, then one is not eligible for reimbursement. If a doc from the recognised govt hospital refers the case to a private one, then, reimbursement is provided…with discretion..

1055. April 27th – Thursday
      _____________________

      Before the serial began, TNS came and spoke to the viewers. He said that he wanted to conclude Mukta with the decision on MP’s case, but ETV is saying that they are getting letters from viewers to continue Muktha. So what would you like? SMS and let us know [Forgot the SMS numbers].

      ____________________________________________________________
      Court Scene.

      CSP asks about Chhabria’s background, how 10 years back he had just a bike, and now he has jets. CHhabria says, I worked hard, God smiled upon me, and I came up. Any problem?

      Then CSP talks about Chhabria and pharmaceutical companies.

      1) 19 pharma companies of the world, have Chhabria as the pharma consultatnt, and he is the highest paid in the world – 50 million dollars per annum.

      2) These 19 companies are the ones which manufacture the medicine which is used for control of triglycerides. The entire industry is worth billions of dollars.

      3) In 1947, health studies said that the normal amount of cholesterol(?) in blood is 240 mg. All ppl who had values higher than this in the blood were prescribed the medicine, to prevent heart attacks. In the sixties, the normal amount was said to be 220 mg. And now, they are saying it is 180 mg. How can this figure vary? (He has magazine articles as proof for this). A research by a lady in another science magazine shows that, all ppl who had valules above 240 mg where the consumers of the medicines. BUt when the “healthy” limit was lowered to 220 mg, all the ppl who fell in the 220 – 240 mg bracket got worried and started taking the medicine. Thus sales grew by 50 %. When it was lowered further, it grew 50 times! So the sales have really increased. That means that pharma companies are going hand in hand to pay the research doctors to show false results of studies, and show that the health limit is much lower than it actually is, just to boost their sales. they are taking advantage of the fear factor of people, coz everybody is scared of a heart attack.

      4) When Usha G discovered the two alkaloids in Kempusanjeevini soppu, it was a breakthrough. These alkaloids did not reduce triglycerides or anything, it MODIFIED the genes itself, to prevent these harmful substances from forming (this is a genetic disease). And more than that, you needed to take only one tablet per day!
      So that means, instead of taking 150 rupees worth of tablets everyday, you would have had to take 1 rupee tablet once in every 6 months!

      5) This scared the pharma companies, they would go out of business. Chhabria had just started his tissue culture business, he hit upon an idea, he approached these companies, asked them to retain him as consultant, and said that I will make sure UG does not go public withthis discovery. they agreed, Chhabria tried to buy off UG, did not succeed. He offered her a job with foreign companies, but she said, it wil be a very lucrative industry, and she wanted the money to go to india itself. So she did not agree, so you killed her.

      6) After that, you found that to get the alkaloids, you have to treat it within 2-3 hours after picking KS soppu. Otherwise it will get dehydrated and lose the “OH” in it, and will be rendered useless. So it has to be done here itself, since KS soppu could not be grown elsewehre. So Chhabria started Divine Drops company close to KS soppu near Phalguni nadi, and then under the facade of a mineral water company, he had research going on behind the scenes. thats why such large land, so much security.

1056. Hi all, thanks for the clarification about reimbursement!

      I liked the amount of homework TNS does, to bring all these facts to us. In yesterday’s episode, I was quite aghast to think that all these pharma companies might be playing games with us. Also, if you read books like “Strong Medicine” by Arthur Hailey, or the medical thrillers of Robin Cook, you will realize what goes on behind the scenes. Pharma companies pass off dangerous medicines as safe, hide statistics, etc.

1057. Lady CSP is back!!!!!!!
      Namaskara Diya avarige yenu ishtu dina kandu baralilla thavu.

1058. Namaskara Muktha Veekshakare !!!

      Nimma,
      CSP(TNS)

1059. Hi, after all the TN sitaram’s and other people, now comes CSP. welcome Sir.

1060. Also friends,
      Don’t you think MP case judgement will be a grand finale for the great bug on TV called Muktha?
      I don’t think Muktha deserves to be elasting like other soaps. My answer would be MUK N.

1061. I think it was a great thing by CSP (TNS) to bring out the lobby in the worldwide pharmaceuticals industry to the notice of common man through ‘Mukta’. Although the details and history of the lobby was least-related to the actual case itself, I think it was for the benefit of the viewers did CSP get it out.

      If you read the magazine ‘Taranga’ dated 2 Mar 2006, the cover page article was about ‘Drug Lobby’ and one of the section in it exactly speaks about the ‘normal values’ of the vital factors such as cholestrol and blood pressure and how it has been reduced since few decades for the benefit of the industry! The article is a ‘must-read’, I feel!

      No doubt, TNS might have got inspired from reading this article, but how many people have the will and guts to talk about it in their serials?

      Chaitanya

1062. SMS from my Reliance is not going thru its saying invalid Address.

      My answer would be MUK N . We need to give TNS some breathing time before he comes back banging with something the different.

1063. Yeah, even i feel Muktha should not be stretched just because ETV asked to do so… If there is genuine content and if TNS feels it requires 2-3 more months, then it is o.k. Else it should stop.

1064. on the lighter note … if we say MUK Y, then Arundhati will take 3 more months to say yes to Manmohan … We should put a condition to TNS that Aundhati’s case will end within a week 🙂 🙂

1065. Yesterday’s episode was very educative.
      The ‘Drug companies’ lobby’ reminded me of a novel named ‘Prarthana’ by Yeandamuri Virendranath, which in turn is inspired by the English novel ‘The Fever’ by Asimov (or is that Robin Cook?). In that novel, it was mentioned that this lobby donot want a permanent solution for ‘Cancer’.

1066. I think it was a great thing by CSP (TNS) to bring out the lobby in the worldwide pharmaceuticals industry to the notice of common man through ‘Mukta’. Although the details and history of the lobby was least-related to the actual case itself, I think it was for the benefit of the viewers did CSP get it out.

      If you read the magazine ‘Taranga’ dated 2 Mar 2006, the cover page article was about ‘Drug Lobby’ and one of the section in it exactly speaks about the ‘normal values’ of the vital factors such as cholestrol and blood pressure and how it has been reduced since few decades for the benefit of the industry! The article is a ‘must-read’, I feel!

      No doubt, TNS might have got inspired from reading this article, but how many people have the will and guts to talk about it in their serials?

      Chaitanya

1067. Yesterday’s episode has been one of the best ones to date – it totally deviated from being a TV serial to (apart from the fiction part) almost becoming a journalistic report. Its was absolutely fantastic – hitting the nail on the head.

      Some corrections and details in the update, I’ll add them after I go home. Have a lot more to say about the topic – its very close to me.

      Btw the SMS number was 3060 I think.

1068. Honestly, Drug lobby is something which I was totally unaware of … This is so terrifying…
      Hats off to TNS for bringing this topic, so that the general public is aware that such a thing can happen …

1069. Anitha, that was a nice thinking about Aru’s reply. Regarding the Drug lobby, i just googled saying drug lobby just in Pg 1 i could see the amt of profits that CSP was talking in yest’s episode like 50 times. The profit is only 750mn USD. I went thru a couple of articles which mentions that its the Commercial Ad given by these Drug Cos which made the Patients to directly visit the pharma shop and request for the drug.

      I think thatz why our ajji and thatha are still stronger when compared to us becoz they used to intake that much quantity of protien,sugar,fats as needed by the body.

      Any views

1070. Namaskara Prasanna avare 🙂 The last month and a half was very hectic.. Hence I was unable to visit the site 🙂

      Regarding continuation of the serial, I feel it would definitely detract from it’s USP if TNS were to continue with it. Even his earlier serials were avidly watched, but that did not prompt him to drag it on… Why only now??

      As for the issue raised in y’day’s episode, the most stiking example which comes to mind is that of the drug “Thalidomide”. Initially, the drug companies promoted it as an anti-nausea drug, for pregnant women. It had great takers in the west… Only later it came to light that this drug caused the babies to be born severely deformed – both phisically and mentally… And today, the same drug is being marketed as a boon for cancer patient, though it’s effectiveness is still being debated by the medical fraternity…

1071. I have doubts wrt today’s episode… First of all, CSP had initially asked for permission to cross-examine Devraj at the end and had also requested that he placed in judicial custody, right???!!! So, what was the earlier part of the discussion with the judge all about??!!?? Also, since he was already sworn in as a witness for the prosecution, why was he sworn in again??

1072. “Muktha” Mukthaya yaavaga bekaadro aagabahudu. The theme of the serial is not dependent on any character, plot, not even on TN Seetharam. There can never be a logical conclusion to this serial, Im sure this is the reason why even TNS is confused and asking his audience for a poll.

      As far as the letters by the audience to continue the serial goes, this is only the hype thats created by TNS court scenes. The same response would not have been there, if currently a normal scene like Swamiji’s, Gowri’s, or Arundathi’s gOl scene would be running. If TNS wants to stop the serial, he should, and not base his decision on viewer popularity, as he would be surely working on an another equally exciting project.

1073. Dear all Mukta Fans,

      Please read this blog entry / article and let your comments know there. Also, someone please mention the SMS number 3690 in your comments 🙂 (as mentioned in one of the above posts by CSP).

      http://churumuri.wordpress.com/2006/04/28/breaking-news-sms-poll-gimmick-kills-mukta/

      Thanks,A Mukta-serial Fan

1074. I replied to that post – though I spent a bit too much time on it I think! Shivaraj, I didn’t post the number because Ive never been succesful at sending my reply (N) to eithr of the SMS numbers mentioned here.

      Lady CSP welcome back! 🙂

      Shruthi, afaik, from several independent sources, its the
      truth. Not that everybody are crooks, but there are plenty of them.

      Many of the things I’ve suspected or discovered have been far too incredible
      for anybody to believe hence I’ve kept it to myself. Now that I see someone
      speaking so clearly on the same lines, it delights me enough to share a
      little bit.

      Except on very rare occasions, I havent’ taken any medicine for anything
      even under some very difficult circumstances (and have believed and got
      validated time and again, that the human body has the intelligence to
      naturally cure itself) for the past 4+ years. Not that I’ve undertaken any
      oath that I’ll never take it, I’ve just avoided it as far as possible and
      so far maybe purely by lucky circumstances, have succeeded.

      At times I have wondered whether I’ve been negligient, hence this is only an
      experiment for myself which I wouldn’t recommend to anybody else. However, a
      few months ago I’d been to a thorough health checkup and was reported to be
      in above par health.

      – A reputed doctor I’d come across in a train (who was writing a paper on
      Medical Ethics) validated many of the things I’d suspected based on reading
      or observations – that doctors (not all) and pharmeceutical companies
      together promote the most unnecessary medicines simply to make money.

      – Look at the kind of tablets and medicines the US generates.
      http://hypocrisytoday.com/drugs.html
      http://www.newstarget.com/009173.html

      – There was a 2 page advertisement once on most of the leading newspapers, from some
      man who’d written in detail about all the diabolical conspiracies the industry is usually involved in.

      – A friend has spoken of an actual incident (can vageuly recall the outline,
      may be incorrect details) When in a US hospital, a doctor abused a junior
      doctor for turning away a patient who had no problems. He told her she
      should’ve checked in the patient in for a few days as they had no business.
      This kind of thing now happens in India also. Anyway the kind of corruption aready existing in government (and also private, but its far far worse in govt) hospitals is unimaginable. Mr. Venkatachala has unearthed quite a bit off late but its hard to say how much remains.

      I know I sound very vague and impractical due to lack of references. [Also, this does NOT mean any paranoia of suspecting all doctors, hospitals to be crooks! :)]

      In hindsight I should’ve saved all the references all these years because none of them are covered by google! Name of doctor I spoke to, his article etc (in fact I did later on try to follow up trying to locate him but in vain).

      Had I been a journalist, I would’ve done a detailed research and written an article on it, but TNS yesterday had covered exactly the points I had in mind. It was simply amazing.

      Anyway coming to the point, the allopathic pharmaceutical industry is a multi-billion dollar *largely* (not entirely) con-job industry. They are surviving on everybody’s ignorance. On top of it they torture countless animals in the name of senseless animal research. They have not encouraged, if not have actively suppressed, any natural healing alternatives. Luckily this is becoming lesser and lesser possible with the openness of the information technology era.

      A similar conpiracy was there wrt the tobacco industry. According to a BBC documentary, initially nobody knew tobacco was addictive/harmful. A similar “tobacco lobby” tried everything it could to prevent such research to prove
      it from spilling out. Scientists were bought over or killed or convicted or
      invalidated. Eventually the truth did come out, hence the big disclaimer on
      all tobacco packages. In fact, EU regulations mandate that the statuatory
      warning has words like “THIS WILL CAUSE YOU CANCER” in huge lettering far
      bigger than the size of the company logo. But it was of course far too late,
      the critical mass (wrt radioactivity) had been reached – enough to sustain
      the industry even now.

1075. i missed last friday’s (28-04-06) episode..
      can anybody update the same?

1076. Sanjay, A small suggestion from you , let us have a Small debate on the Medical Ethics that the Dr and the Drug Manufacturers. For the Topic we can have something like “Are the Drug Manufacturers and Doctors creating fear moang people “. Let it be open to all muktha fans and see who support whom.

1077. Hi All!

      I have been following this website and its quite informative for a travelling guy like me to follow on Muktha!

      I have liked the interactiveness of the group…. And I do like the way TNS takes the story.. Its similar to a combination of John grisham with a little mixture of Robin Cook and Arthur Hailey.

      The case of Chabbria snooping into the report of Usha Gopinath is similar to the way Dr Crick snooped into the work of Rosalind Franklin in Cambridge for the Double Helix!

      I had the privilege of attending Muktha Samvada in Mumbai and also to ask a question to TNS.

      Overall its a good work guys.. Keep it going. Too bad that Muktha is going to end! Though there is pressure from ETV to extend it!

1078. Prasanna, your suggestion is taken here
      http://msanjay.weblogs.us/entries/348/questioning-medicine

      (Though in the past, it seems like rarely anybody ventures beyond this thread but no harm in trying 😉 )

      Suresh, you can add Erle Stanley Gardner to the list!

      If someone can provide an update it would be good esp if Shruthi, me, etc aren’t in a position to do so (additional/redundant ones arent any problem!) – thanks

      Btw Bellur about making this into a book – I am short of time, but anyone wishing to take such an initiative is more than welcome. There are no copyrights here, if any money comes out of it I will be happy for them. I can try to provide additional inputs wrt editing, etc as and when time permits.

1079. Update – Friday – 28th Apr
      __________________________

      Kiran Das comes back to the judge and tells him that Dr.Sarangapani is not agreeing to conduct the operation, even though he asked a lot. He says that Sarangapani is related to Ramana Rao (Politician – Rane’s friend). Kiran Das suggests that the judge could go and request Ramana Rao to speak to Sarangapani.

      CSP calls Driver Devaraj for cross-examination. He says that he did not call him earlier because SS would have taught him answers, and so he wanted to do it now.

      He takes these points:

      1) He says, Devaraj is marked as wanted for the Mumbai police as he is an underworld character and a sharpshooter, with many names, and there are 36 cases against him. Devraj says that all are false, the Mumbai police have falsely implicated him. CSP speaks sarcastically, says yes yes, you are a very good man, and they have falsely charged you, and asks why. Devraj says that his friend was in Gangaswamy’s gang, and once they were sitting and drinking, and the friend asked him to join, and there was a police raid, and Devraj also was caught.

      2) CSP shows that Devraj is a known stuntman, and that is why he was particularly chosen for this murder, so that it wil be easy for him to jump out of the car.

      3) CSP asks Devraj who gave him the key to go and enter Chhabria’s guest house compound. He says that MP gave it to him. He says that Chhabria had given MP the key, for her to take rest whenever needed. CSP laughs at him, saying why would Chhabria do such a thing. Also, he asks the driver, why did MP give the key to you? What is the reason? He has no answer.

      Update – Monday. – May 1st
      _____________________________
      Gowri is talking to Amma and Nanjunda. Pramod Kumar calls up, Gowri says Aru is not at home. Again Amma expresses anguish at Aru’s decision to marry Pramod Kumar. She says she is not even eating properly. Gowri asks Amma to just leave Aru alone, and not bug her again and again talking about PK. Amma says how can I not worry – she has only two daughters, Gowri does not want to get married again, and Aru wants to marry an already married man who is 15 years older. Gowri tries to convince her, Amma agrees reluctantly. Aru comes in, says that PK had called her, and says that he was supposed to come that week to their house to talk about the marriage, but he has an urgent shooting in Australia, and will not be back for a month. So the discussion about marriage can only continue after that.

      Cross-exam of Devraj continues.

      1) Devraj says that MP shot AM and jumped out. CSP says that if that is the case, then why does Devraj’s uniform have blood on the front, lower portion,, whereas it should be on the back, upper portion, and shoulders. Devraj has no answer.

      2) CSP shows photos of AM getting into the car on the day of the jaathre, where he is wearing chappals. He says, where are the chappals now? Did AM get down somewhere along the way? Driver says no, and he has no idea of the chappals.

      3) CSP asks Devraj whether he has eye power, Devraj says yes, he has +3 power. CSP says, oh, even AM had +3 power, this is the specs of AM retrieved from the accident scene… and he asks Devraj to wear the specs of AM and read something. Devraj reads it perfectly. Then CSP says, AM’s power was 9.3, and not 3. This specs found on the site was not AM’s it was yours.

      Then CSP reconstructs the scene.

      Driver shouted out that brakes had failed, and jumped out. There he had asekd someone to wait with a scooter. After jumping out, he went on the scooter to the guest house, opened the gates with thekey Chhabria had given him, and went to the accident spot to take out brake oil from the car, also expecting to see the two dead bodies. to his shock he found that not even one body was there. HE went back to the guest house, called up Chhabria, and through him contacted Gangaswamy and got instructions. He went back to the top of the cliff. MP was not there but AM was there. He killed AM by shooting him, and then dragged him all the way down, and then put him under the car. Then he realized that AM’s specs was not there. People would suspect coz specs are the main identifying feature of a person who wears specs. So he took out his own, which looked like AM’s specs, broke one glass and placed it near AM. He either did not notice the missing chappals, or he thought no one would notice, and then he went on the scooter to the jaathre, and then left the scooter somewhere, went walking up and told everybody about the accident.

      Devraj denies this scenario.

      CSP says that he can prove it, and requests to examine the photographer of Chitra channel once again. Judge permits it.

1080. Apologies for the late update of Friday’s episode. It was a long weekend, and I was busy, couldn’t get to the pc 🙂

      In Friday’s episode, while talking about Devraj’s different aliases, CSP tells Devraj, “Neevu Bahunaamankithadavaru, allva? Yenu gottha Bahunaamaankitha andare? Tumba janakke naama haakthira antha……allva? …. Heh heh.. joke maadide ashte”
      I found it very funny – laughed a lot 😀

1081. Me too Shruthi .. laughed a lot at that one …

      Next to court scenes I like TNS in such light humorous roles .

1082. yella M.A.-galigoo* namaskara,
      please read this interview with TNS in THE HINDU that appeared on friday. click on this link: http://www.hindu.com/fr/2006/04/28/stories/2006042803030100.htm

      *M.A.: Muktha Abhimani

1083. Talking about “Naamankita”, I remember a headline in Prajavani a long ago. It was in New Delhi when different colours were introduced for buses with different tarrifs. The headline read “Banna halavu naama onde” !!

1084. Shurthi, this is amazing. you give such a nice update and then ask sorry for being late! I really appreciate it. since last week, I could not watch Muktha constantly and was waiting for your updates. I should really thank a lot.

      My comments are about extending muktha. I wonder why TNS is being bugged by ETV. It is simple, this serial is in super K category and earns huge sum as advt tariff (around Rs. 1.2 Lakhs per minute and hence around 10 Lakhs per episode). I think ETV is washing off hands by paying Rs. 35K or 40K to TNS. ETV guys are making big money and want to continue with it.

      TNS is a good director and goes about it only after a lot of thought process. let muktha complete on time and we wish him a grand success in his new venture: “Mrs Mukhyamantri”.

1085. Muktha – Tuesday – 2nd May

      BIG THINGS HAPPENING!

      CSP goes to a studio, and talks to a man called Srinath, and tells him that he has the tapes shot on the day of the jalakanteshwara jaathre, he was watching it when he felt he saw something in the background, he asked his daughter (CSP has a daughter??) whether it can be zoomed, and she said it could be done in the studio, so he came to Srinath. Srinath agrees to zoom it, refuses money, saying nimmindenu togolodu, naavu MP and SKD abhimaanigalu.

      Srinath plays the tape, the recording is after the jaathre, of the interview of the principal of the Devagaandhara school of music, near jalakanteshwara. The principal, Mr. Anand Bhushan is being interviewed about music and school [The person who is shown as the principal is Shri Vidyabhushan, formerly Vidyabhushana Teertha Swami, who is known as a very good singer]. The background of the interview is a steep, large cliff.

      As the interview, taken by Ravi Bhatt of Chitra channel, progresses, some object falls in the background. Srinath zooms and shows it in slow motion, it is a white car falling from the top of a cliff. The time is exactly 1:47:26. CSP is excited, Srinath continues. AFter 6 minutes of the interview, some object is moving in the background, when zoomed and seen, it turns out to be Arunachalamurthy!! He is dazed, slightly hurt, but very much alive. He is in the middle of rocks and bushes and is looking around in puzzlement. Srinath is very surprised, as AM is supposed to have been dead by the time the car fell off the cliff. CSP is happy. [All the while, a girl, Srinath’s assistant is also watching the whole thing.]

      He plays more of the tape, and then zooms more, and is very happy, saying this is clinching evidence. [We are not shown what it is]. He says, hoythalla, prosecution caseu, and he hums a song which Anandbhushan has just sung, with the words “lotte” or something 🙂

      Court scene. Ravi Bhatt is produced as witness, and permission is taken to play the tapes. Ravi Bhatt says that the interview has taken place on this side of the river, and the cliff with Chhabria’s property is on the other side. The tapes are played, and CSP shows the car falling, and AM being alive 6 minutes later. The court is really excited, and everybody is puzzled. Devraj is extremely scared. [Rane and Chhabria do not really look that scared, they look ordinarily worried, donno why. Even SS].

      Then CSP fast forwards for 14 minutes, and then zooms in on someone riding a scooter. Ravi Bhatt recognizes it as Devraj. He has no blood on his uniform.

      CSP fast forwards some more, and someone is walking up the mountain. He zooms, it turns out to be Devraj, with a pistol in his hand, looking for somebody, and climbing up the rocky cliff. Just then the scene changes. Ravi Bhatt said, thats all we recorded. We changed the scene after this.

      CSP says to the court, isn’t it very obvious? AM was very much alive after the car fell, and after that Devraj was walking around with a pistol in his hand. It clearly shows that Devraj killed AM, and not MP. The evidence is all here for you to see. It is clinching evidence. I rest my case.

      JUdge says, “arguments on 18th”.

1086. Thanks Girish, if even one person is benefited by my updates, it makes my efforts worthwhile 🙂

      Ananda, that was funny 🙂 heh heh!

      Bellur Ramakrishna, yes I read that article – its a very good one.

      I want Muktha to get over too… let is end with a bang… not get extended and become boring! I only hope that we will all keep in touch even after that 🙂

1087. Its great to find that TNS has roped i
      n great personalities in his serial that
      includes writer,directors, minister and of all Vidya
      Bhushana Swamiji too.

      Hats off to you TNS Avare

1088. hi shruthi,
      what a twist in the tale finally! i watched y’day’s episode with sanjay at his place. we thought the ZOOM element was a bit exaggerated. and the song that ‘anandabhushan’ sang was ‘loLaloTTe…loLaloTTe’. it means ‘in vain’ or ‘yella vyartha aaguvudu'(dictionary meaning).
      and i was surprised when CSP told he has a daughter! also, what an irony that most of us were interested in watching the background and not ‘vidyabhushan’ when he was making a debut as an actor.
      sincerely, better to end muktha when people want more of it.

1089. Yeah Bellur avare,
      I too felt the same that Vidyabhushan ji was sidelined in that cameo of his. Well… We should appreciate the fact that TNS has put in good effort to rope in many such personalities. We’ve seen C Ashwath, Ramesh Kumar, Rani Satish, Ratnamala Prakash, Ravi Belegere and such people in his serials. I just hope “series M” will stay M rather becoming the “K stuff”.
      Let Muktha end naturally and Shruti avre, lets all keep in touch even after that. This is a nice team.

1090. That’s true… Shri Vidyabhushan’s presence was totally shadowed by the zooming. And yes, the zooming was a little overdone – I have a doubt – can they really zoom that much and get such a clear picture?
      Ramakrishna, you were in Sanjay’s house yday? That’s good to hear 🙂
      Srik, I see you got a blog for yourself 😀

1091. all u bloggers,
      read this article imm.
      http://in.rediff.com/news/2006/may/03blog.htm

1092. shruthi, i too had the same doubt. i work with images everyday and if the image quality isnt good, the more u zoom, more it gets pixellated. but i read this piece and to a certain extent, i think u can zoom and the video quality may still be good. but what we saw y’day in muktha….it was exaggerated.
      plz visit this link for an illustrated example:
      http://www.cis.hawaii.edu/techinfo/Mavica/options.html

1093. Ramakrishnaravare, well, a video can be digitally zoomed and there must be plenty of softwares available to do it, but it can’t be to the extent shown in yerterday’s episode. After all the resolution of the captured image also matters. But from what we saw, it must have been a 100 Terra Pixel resolution camera or such! It was highly exaggerated.
      Sometimes I wonder why do the Mukta team had to put up with creating all the fake items such as the ‘Johansburg Times’, news papers, documents and photos. We would still beleive it even if it was shown from back!

1094. bellur, whatevers there in the bloggers article is mostly common sense, I’ve rarely seen anybody violating them 🙂 Video cameras have pretty high resolution compared to the link you’ve shown but anyway as Chaitanya’s noted, definitely not the kind shown by TNS. That episode was as if all the viewers are technology-illiterate! It was nice to have you home, no doubt we should all meet up and keep in touch!

      Prasanna you were the one who suggested having the medical debate and you don’t have anything to say Anyway dosen’t matter, btw there are some more links I’ll post them there in a few days.

      Busy not just because of the impending marriage but also because of increasing work pressure and some other factors.

1095. I have read the professional video cameras have a very high resolution then the ordinary ones. One more technology i have read is – “Image reconstruction” from a very low quality images.

      But is edited images/video a valid evidence in court? i have doubts about it.

1096. Wednesday – May 3
      Aru comes home, tensed and worried, she takes Nanjunda aside and tells him to be very careful, and not go out alone or late at night. She has come to know that Rane and co are planning to cause trouble to their family, because they think that the information that CSP gave out in court, about Rane cheating the farmers regarding Chinnarika, has been given by them. Nanjunda takes it lightly but Aru scolds him and tells him not to try any tricks like getting together some guys and taking them on. He agrees.

      Aru goes to Hemagiri MaTha to the Swamiji, and tells him about her fears. She says that she has been getting threatening calls on the phone. She has not told the elders as they will get worried. Swamiji says that it is the way of the world, that when a big battle is being waged against dishonesty and crime, it is the innocent, small people who have to face the dangers. He tells him not to worry, he will call the minister and arrange to provide security for their family. Aru is relieved, she leaves.

      Mahesh and Madhu eating uppittu… Madhu calls Chinnu to have breakfast, Chinnu is watching TV and refuses, Madhu gets irritated, goes and asks her to come, saying, after I go to office, nobody will be there to feed you. Chinnu says, I have asked Gowri to come, she will come and feed me. Madhu is irritated, she raises her hand to hit Chinnu, when Gowri comes and stops her. She says, how can you even raise your hand on this small girl. Madhu says, ivalu nammane hudgi, we know how to deal with her. who are you. Chinnu tells Madhu, “neenu kettavalu”. Madhu slaps her. Gowri forgets to say “madam” and says “madhuvanti! how can you!” then she comforts chinnu, picks her up and goes away.

      Manmohan(MM) arrives at night to the MaTha, and talks to Swamiji. Swamiji asks how the case is going on and says that he only hopes that MP will be set free. Seeing MM’s expression, he says, I know that you don’t like MP. MM says no no, it was like that before, but now i am convinced she is not my father’s killer. Swamiji says that his mother had come, and she told him that he has improved a lot now, and is very happy to hear that. MM says that the person for whom he has improved is going away from him now. Swamiji asks who it is, and then looking at MM’s expression, he says you don’t have to tell me. MM says, no, I have come here to tell you everything, but give me some time. It is all because of you, Swamiji, that I learnt to keep my mind under control. Now again my mind is out of control. I have come to you to regain that peace and control. Swamiji says ok, and arranges for MM to stay the night in the Atithi Griha.

      Judge is at home, going through some books, when a policeman comes and tells him taht Ramana Rao and another man have come to see him. Judge goes out, and Ramana Rao introduces himself, and they exchange pleasantries. Then the first thing the Judge says is that if you have come to talk about the case, I will not like it. Ramana Rao says, chhe, chhe, I just came to see you, actually to talk about your wife. Then he introduces the man with him, and says this is my nephew Dr Sarangapani. Judge interrupts, asks a policeman to get coffee for all. Ramana Rao and Sarangapani whisper to each other, judge asks yenaythu, then RR says that Rane is outside in the car, alone. It won’t be nice if we are here drinking coffee and he alone. Judge is in deep thought, he says, Ranenaa?? Then RR asks if he can ask Rane to come in. Judge thinks, and then says, you can only if he doesn’t talk about the case – his name is coming up again and again, and I will feel uncomfortable if he talks about the case. RR assures him that Rane won’t talk about the case, and then goes and brings him in.

      Rane comes in, all smiling, and says, I know you are a strict judge, I would never talk about the case. What if my name comes, my heart knows and God knows that I am innocent. So why should I talk aobut it, I won’t (and by all this nonsense he succeeds in talking about the case). Then he says, this boy Sarangapani(SP), I know him from childhood, he calls me uncle, blah blah, (shows how close they are)… and then RR and Rane ask SP about judge’s wife’s case. SP first apologises, saying that i did not know neevu RR ge bekaaddavaru… I did not listen to your request. Judge asks, I have heard your operations are always successful. Is it true? SP blushes(:)) and then says, yes, God has given me that blessing. Then he says, I had a look at the reports, it is not malignant, but we have to take it out, I don’t have time for the next three months, etc. Judge requests, can you please take time out somehow? Rane and RR also compel him a lot. SP consults his diary and says, next three days are impossible – I have life threatening cases to operate on. But the following week, I can cancel one appointment and do this operation. Judge says if that is possible i will be very grateful, I cannot afford to lose my wife. Rane and RR say of course of course, fully butter him up, and then they all leave.
      [Could not make out if Sarangapani knew that Rane and RR were using him to subtly influence the judge, or he just thought that judge is RR ge bekaaddavaru, and thats why they are compelling him]

1097. Hi Shruti, that was a gr8 update.
      I think Sarangapani knows well that He’s been used in this game by the ill-wit politicians to blackmail the Judge. I’m really affraid that “Ee taranoo jana irtara!!!” Im sure If Rane were to be a real man, and I noticed him doing these things, I’d not hesitate in killing him in the “RDB” style.

1098. Sanjay Sorry I couldnt write anything on that
      debate. a new Implementation is going on in my office and thatz being tested. So i get no time even to check my official mails.

      I shall surely post during this weekend. I’m sure the new implementation should be over by then.

1099. Mr.Srik, killing is not the solution for all these. Anyways this world is full of guys like this. One would easily guess 99% of the politicians are like this. But we have to blame ourselves for all these corruption. Without the support of the common people they would not survive.

      Horgondu mukha, oldondu vesha….

      Just an small eg:
      If you dont follow traffic rule, bribe the constable. The constable to his superiors and so on.. until a portion of that bribe reaches the top most politician. Its a very well organised system which does not require sophisticated computers to keep track of.

      The areas where big bucks are made is in real estate, contracts, colleges etc. That is where 95% of the black money resides. If you come to think of it, its counter productive for the common man. Can you ever buy a site and register for the actual amount you have bought?

      Sorry for going out of topic, but this serial, RDB etc. made me write this…

1100. And also, who are the people responsible for voting people like Rane? We are sure, in our political set up right now, we have numerous politicians like Rane. No need to give examples here, as we all know who are those ill minded politicians are. Politicians who are playing communal card, religion based reservation etc are all bad politicians to say the least, who were voted by common people. Now we also should blame people who inspite of knowing that a particular politician will do no good neither for the country nor for the people, still people will vote for them!
      In a way people are also responsible for the current mess in the country. Unfortunately in India, people who are corrupt and who support them are more, than people who are good and have national interest in them.

1101. CSP has a daughter. This part was already removed when CET part and the related case was shown. They have not shown CSP’s daughter anytime, but it was only in discussion. It was when CSP was fighting hte CET case, for Topi Sheshappa’s daughter. The case was fought against a bigshot of a medical college (played by Sihi kahi Chandru). And Sheela Prasad, wife of CSP, contacted the same person for a payment medical seat for their daughter.
      And Shruthi, thanks for the detailed update. I could not watch the serial for last two days, and might not be able to watch for another 2 weeks. But I need not be worried, as I can get the updates here. 🙂

1102. hi guru
      i remember reading a report this year where a Delhi doctor was jailed based on video evidence.
      Excerpts from THE GUARDIAN (Thursday March 30, 2006)
      New Delhi: Jailing of doctor in Indian sting operation highlights scandal of aborted girl foetuses
      “An Indian doctor has been sentenced to two years in prison for revealing the sex of a foetus and agreeing to abort it, in a landmark ruling that campaigners say will boost efforts to end the practice which causes the loss of 500,000 female babies a year.”
      “In evidence presented to the court, a video clip showed the doctor telling one woman that tests had revealed that she was carrying a “female foetus and it would be taken care of”. Many of the original witnesses withdrew their testimony – presumably under pressure – delaying the trial. But the video evidence proved incontrovertible.”
      u can read the full story here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/india/story/0,,1742717,00.html

      also, SC okayed evidence by video-conferencing back in 2003.
      story: http://www.hinduonnet.com/2003/04/03/stories/2003040304041300.htm

1103. Hi,I am having a feeling that Rane brings a pressure on Nagabooshana Gowda(Judge) thru Sarangapani/Ramana Roa but ultimately Truth will stand from judge’s side !
      This blackmailing will be a death rope for Rane & other as judge may belive since they are guilty they are pressureing him !!
      I felt this on Judge and Kiran das met

1104. Thank you very much Shruthi for the dily updates. I was not in Bangalore for 2 weeks and was able to catch up with al the story..!!!

1105. I agree with praveen, it definitely seems like a death blow for Rane!

      Funny I’d never seen or heard of CSP’s daughter either.

      Srik, killing is not the solution I know you were just idly speculating 😉 but apart from what Guru and Murthy have said, I’ve come across two radical and pragmatic ideas so far…

      One is that educated people get together and form a party, for example a group of IIT guys starting this one:
      Lok Paritran

      Another is the introduction of technology aimed at reducing corruption in politics for example this one
      http://msanjay.weblogs.us/entries/31/radical-it-approach-to-political-situation

      Bellur, thanks for the concrete links!

      Prasanna, take your time, I was just kidding! Its ok anyway I might also not have time to read/reply to it soon (but eventually will), see I’m leaving for home now only 🙄

      —-

      On a lighter note, wanted to post this picture for a long time here finally managed to do it as anyway Im staying late at office and missing 9 PM Muktha! [I might miss 11 also if I fall asleep but will make use of Samaaja Sevaki Shruti’s update (thanks, as always!) ]

      Thought this picture looked cool…

      endu aadenu naanu… muktha muktha muktha my neighbour’s dog seems to be wondering! 😉

1106. Thursday – May 4

      Aru goes to the MaTha to see the swamiji, says that the threatening calls have stopped. Swamiji says that he has called the home secretary and told them to provide security to them. She thanks him. Swamiji says, your mother asked me to speak to you about something else. Aru says, it must be about my marriage. Swamiji says yes, your mother isnot happy with it, and that she is going thro it because of some otthaDa….and asks if ARu is going thro the marriage whole heartedly. Aru doesn’t meet his eyes, but says that yes, PK is a good person, I know he will look after me well. Then she says, I will leave now.

      On her way out, she bumps into Manmohan, he requests her to wait, and that he will speak to the Swamiji and come out. She agrees.

      Scene – a beautiful Kalyani, with steps, and a stone mantapa, trees all around. Beautiful setting, peaceful. Aru and MM walking on the steps. They say, this MaTha is so peaceful, etc. MM says, it is special to me, because after coming here, I became close to you. Aru is disturbed, so MM says, what is there in speaking my feelings, you also did so the other day. Then he says, ok lets not speak of something which will trouble us. Aru says, yes, I am not happy going away from you, but there is no other way. OUr ways are different, etc. [At this point I felt like breaking the TV in irritation with Aru 🙂 ]. MM says, your words hithavaagi iratthe, thats why i feel sad at your going away. Then he says, I will be the first one to wish for your happiness, but what to do, I keep feeling that I should be the reason for your happiness. Aru is uncomfortable, says so, and she bids goodbye and leaves.

      MM sitting there itself alone. Swamiji comes and asks him what the problem is. MM says that he is not able to forget Aru. Swami says, you still want her for yourself? You should get over it. MM says, I have lost hopes of having her for myself, but I cannot get rid of her memories. I want to live my whole life just on her memories. Swami speaks nicely, says that love is not shashwatha…. and he speaks a little of poetry and philosophy [Not able to recollect this in detail]. Swami asks him to forget her and get on with life. He leaves, MM stays there till the sunset (some beautiful camerawork here)

      Judge goes to the house of Muralidhara verma, chief justice, in Bangalore. Chief justice(CJ) welcomes him, asks him about wife’s health, and judge tells all about it, the expenses involved, about all the loans he has taken, about the surgery, about Dr Sarangapani, Ramana Rao, everything. CJ asks how the case is going, and that he had said he would finish it in 1 month. Judge says that yes, i wanted to, but both advocates go into details, and there are many discussions, it is not possible. Now arguments will start, I should be able to give the judgement in a week. CJ says, that reading the papers, it looks like the accused is not at fault. Judge says that you cannot say that, emotionally it might seem so, but there are a lot of cold facts against them.

      Then judge says, I think i have made a mistake, and i came here to tell it to you. Yday with Ramana Rao and the doc, Rane also had come, I should not have let him into my house. CJ says, why, did he try to influence u? Judge says, no no, but his name is coming up again and again in the case, I should not have let him in. CJ says, dn’t worry, you did nothing wrong. You are a man of integrity and everybody knows that. it is because of ppl like you that ppl still have faith in the judiciary. We invite politicians to functions and all, and the cases of these very politicians will be in our hands. does that mean we will rule in their favour? As long as we don’t get influenced by them, nothing will happen. I have complete faith in you, don’t worry. Judge looks worried, rises to go. CJ offers him money. Judge is very touched, says that if I need more money, i will definitely come to you.

1107. Vinut, Avinash, Sanjay, it’s my pleasure 🙂 – Thanks!

      What do you all think the judge will do? Poor man! On one side, his integrity at stake, the other side, his wife’s life is at stake. And I think by now he knows the implications!

1108. Shruthi, If I were you updating the episodes here, would have just mentioned “Scene 1 & 2: Aru, MM and Swamiji and the same old stuff!” and that would’ve summed it up, I guess. You really have tremendous patience to write in detail about the boring stuff! 🙂

      And for the judge, the poor man’s situation has come out very well and is very pitiable. Hats off for Ravi Belagere’s acting and also the fact that TNS has been able to strke the emotional chord in us, even without showing us the Judge’s wife! I guess the judge will not lose integrity and truth will prevail, these are added just to maintain people’s curiosity!

      Chaitanya

1109. Ayyo, Chaitanya, very frankly, I am tempted to do just what you said – “Scene 1 and 2 -same old things” antha … but I have taken it upon myself to provide the updates, and so I try to express in short whatever possible. Also, very frankly, if I had not been the updater, I would have just switched off the TV and not watched those irritating parts. 😀
      I am usually patient, but such dragging scenes and misunderstandings bring out the worst in me 😀

1110. aa Arundhatige asdhya kobbu … She thinks her reasoning is the best, she alwsys advises MM .. Inspite of that MM keep appreciating that idiot Aru… abba so frustrating …

1111. i have never heard a swamiji quote a poem, but always a sanskrit shloka. also, i feel how many people go and talk about their love life with a swamiji?

1112. You are right Ramakrishna..

      Yesterday i was telling at my home … how I wish for all my problems , I have a swamiji next door , I go to him and get answers 🙂

1113. Yeah, that too such a good-looking swamiji 😉

1114. Hmmmmm here’s someone eyeing on a Swamiji!! 😉
      well.. I don’t think Muktha is hitting at the right things towards the end. TNS is not handling the pressure well 🙁
      Hope it ends on a positive note of another BANG from CSP oops TNS.

      It was said yesterday (by NG of all the people), that some cold facts are against MP and SKD,!!! And now.. Who else should come to disprove that.

1115. Oh! More than the swamiji, you should’ve seen the Samvaadas. Few ladies were just screaming for MM, and were pleading TNS not to get him married in Muktha. I was quite surprised! Any ladies in this forum who like MM so much? 😉

1116. Chhe chhe why will I eye anybody, I am happily married 😀
      And even if I was eyeing, it would be just the actor who plays the Swamiji 😉

      Yes Srik, I was also pretty zapped when the judge talks about cold facts against the accused. How much more proof does he need? 🙁 But of course, you never know, he might just have been saying it to remain neutral.

1117. Chaitanya, I also saw them all clamouring for MM and was pretty surprised! Not that he is bad looking, but still I was surprised. Actually I realized there are hundreds of fans for Nanjunda also. Ok, he is a likeable fellow, but that’s it! In fact, in this very forum, someone had left a comment like “Nanju, you are my life” or something.. I don’t know if you all remember 😉
      I would anyday prefer the Swamiji… errr.. emm… I mean, the guy who plays Swamiji 😉
      That brings us to the question, what about the ladies? HOw many of you guys/men are fans of Gowri/Arundhati/MP/others?

1118. I’m a fan of Ajji(Bhargavi Narayan).
      She has always been one of the positive features of the TV. 🙂

1119. I second Srik, Ajji definitely wins hands down !

1120. A break for Shruti this weekend… 8)

      ——–

      In the court…

      SS summarise his case.

      Praises SKD & MP to the skies – highlighting their life’s achievements. Says SKD was a Gandhian, MP an honest and upright official. Says I am feeling bad about being a lawyer in a case against them. But justice has to prevail [gives moral science lecture] and the judgement must be unbiased by these factors.

      CSP has shown a video that apparently has AM surviving after the car accident. Everyone feels this is clinhing evidence that MP isnt the murderer. I also have a copy of the tape, let us look at it again. [Gets a TV set and camcorder connected to it, handled by an operator. Its played, asks operator to play the car falling part in zoom and slow motion again. Everyone is really curious, CSP is almost standing up having a very inqusitive look]. Now let us see what happened after that [Forwards tape to the point where AM was seen, and zooms to show the spot. CSP is leaning forward with full curiosity, wondering what else is there in the same tape]. SS says… now see, it is none other than CSP sitting there instead of AM. [Indeed, CSP is shown sitting in that same spot, though its only a still image]. Forward the tape a bit more… [the judge NG is seen sitting there] we see none other than Nagbushan Gowdru sitting over there! Forward it a bit more, see… CSP is there with a gun. With multimedia and digital editing, any kind of fantasy can be created in video. [CSP is sitting down again with a wry smile] CSP has just superimposed some old dummy of AM and doctored the video.

      Sadanand Patel, SKD and MP had a strong motive to kill AM in a conspiracy (pituuri)

      SP wrote ugravaada lekhane saying AM aa jaagadalli kaaliroke araharalla, he raised a storm aginst AM. He knew he could make use of mob mentality, and created the right circumstances for it. MP also created fear in AM, and took him to the top of the hill to get him to fall down in the car. But doubting whether he might escape by some miracle, also shoots him and jumps out of the car. SD had removed the brake oil.

      It is an open and shut case. All 3 of tehm had strong motive. MP has murdered AM. SKD and SP have helped her in the conspiracy.

      There are three classic parts to any murder:
      – motive – unless its a pyschopathic one, a war or dacoity, except for these three a murder needs motive.
      – preparation – how to prepare and execute
      – happening – the actual occurence of the event

      The prosecution has esstablished all these three beyond any doubt.

      All three had motive.

      SP – because IM was married to AM, most murders are because of women.

      SKD – need not prove, its a known fact that without AM, SKD has to be the minister. Who dosen’t want to be a minister.

      MP – Who actually killed AM. She has the strongest motive, she always hated her father. From the age of 9, her mother has worked hard to bring her up, washing vessels, etc. And so she hates her father for ditching her. She herself hsa confessed in the witness box that she hates her father. Her own mother, with tears in her eyes, has said that twice my daughter has said she wanted to kill her father. Any other’s words we might disbelieve, but her own mother’s? And CSP didn’t cross exmine her so that statement goes unchallenged.

      Moreover, if SKD had been minister, MP can become the DGP.

      isht saalda Honor, evidencu!

      [SS has a triumphant gloating smile]

1121. Hi… I have a small doubt regarding yesterday’s episode. CSP had shown the evidence of AM being alive from the original videotape, which was submitted in the court during the early part of the proceedings itself. So how could it have been doctored?? SS shows that it’s possible to doctor a tape, from the copy which he has. CSP can easily counter this during his arguments. Could’nt they have tried giving a more convincing explanation??

1122. Hi… I have a small doubt regarding yesterday’s episode. CSP shows the evidence of AM being alive from the original tapes and not those he had as a copy. The original tapes were submitted to the court during the early part of the proceedings itself, and the chances of their being tampered with are very remote. SS shows that the tapes can be doctored, using the copy he has.. And this argument can easily be countered by CSP. Could’nt they have shown SS make a more convincing argument??

1123. missed reading from three days
      May 3 episode: that is what I like about Muktha, the subtleties. Its not clear if Sarang pani is innocent or otherwise. its beautiful just imagining the scene, Rane at his very best and Sarang pani looking as if it just dawned on him that RR is a close friend of the Judge, brilliant update.
      May 4: shruthi, thanks for updating everything as it is, even though you dont like the scene playing, Arus woes. i guess some ppl are like that, indecissive, very emotional. I would have loved to see the expression on Ravi Belagere when CJ says that “I have complete faith in you, you are a man of integrity..”. never seen him in a confused state, he looks always in control in the court scenes.
      May 5: the smile on CSPs face indicates he already has a counter argument. just another of those court scene dinchaks.

      Have spoken to swamiji, he speaks in the same measured way in real life too..

1124. Sanjay, thanks a lot 🙂

      Diya, that’s a very valid point. One more thing is that the examples that SS showed very stationary images of CSP and the judge. In the real tape, AM was actually moving, lokoing dazed, and Devraj was really moving in a scooter, and climbing with a gun in his hand. These are impossible to reproduce by even very clever doctoring, as far as I know. And even if you can, for that you need appropriate images. in what situation will AM have sat, injured among bushes and rocks, and look around him in confusion, how can they pick such an image and superimpose on the original tape? SS’s argument is pretty silly.

      Anoop, you are right, I agree with your observations. And oh cool, you have spoken to the Swamiji 🙂

1125. Hi

      I join shruthi in expressing my liking towards Swamiji …., The actor has done complete justice to the role, and very good hold on the language , nange muktha nodokke adhe khushi, samaadhana, ittheechege bari aasana-harsikere bhashe keyli keyli bejarooo :(. hodh thingalinalli Dr Raj nidhanaraadaga cover madidralla yella channellgalalli adhe bhashe , alune bandbidthu kannada sthithi nodi, adna nensikondre, swamiji’s language and looks definitely wins everybody’s heart :))) ….

      Sorry i penned in kannada…maybe difficult to read but it was better expressing it in kannada….

1126. Aasana – Harsikere —;))))))) Cannot stop laughing 😀

1127. i remember one politician saying to a journalist in a Rajyotsava function: “OBBATTINALLI BALAVIDE” (read it as OGGATTINALLI BALAVIDE).

1128. Yeah Usha avare,
      Kannada da Kaggole madakke horaginavaru bekagilla.
      Kannada should rule the hearts of every Kannadiga. We should learn good Kannada, use it as a language of our pride, not as a language of purpose. Its not enough to say I’m annavru’s abhimani, one should learn the clarity of language spoken by him. ‘Aasana Harasikere bhashe Hindu namma nudiyalli aasu okkagide’, navu adanna badalisabeku.

      Hope everyone starts speaking pure toungue to get Kannda living. I think some serials, though I donn watch any of them, on Udaya(especially ones of S. Narayan), is into popularising such language. Lets stop its spread by not viewing those serials.

1129. Another famous (infamous?) line is ‘Akkiyu Hakkiyannu tindi aari ooyitu’! :-))

      But I always wonder, why we find this in only in Kannada? Why no hindi speaking fello says ‘Indi’ or ‘Industan’ or ‘Hindia’?? Any language experts?

      Chaitanya

1130. One of the Common Errors Commited is “Kannada Rajyostava”. I have heard the speech of couple of politicians who call themselves saviour of Kannada Literature.

1131. our favourite CSP does some mistakes in pronouncing ‘jnaana’
      and vijnaana.
      he pronounces it as gnaana and vignaana’
      recently in sudha magazine somebody written the same…

1132. Monday – May 8

      Ajji and Amma are sitting in the dark, Ajji singing a Shloka. Gauri comes in, Ajji complains that in villages, we have power cuts indefinitely, nobody cares. Just then light comes on. Aru and Nanjunda come back from the court. Aru is upset, is crying. she says that there seems to be no chance of MP and SKD going free. CSP had told us that he had irrefutable proof, but SS is proving that even that is wrong. They explain everything. Then Aru says, I keep thinking that I am going through lots of trouble, but after seeing MP, I feel that my troubles are nothing at all. who says women are weak, you should see MP, she is so strong, doesn’t shed a tear, in turn comforts her mother and sister. Ajji says that she is a great lady who has helped lots of people, God will not take away justice from her that easily, don’t worry.

      SrikanTha is on the phone, talking to somebody, shouting and saying, arrange for my money, I am not a king, I also have to live, etc. Sharavati comes in and asks him what happened, Srikantu is in a bad mood. He says I had so many dreams, of having a big house and a car, nothing is coming true – my business is not doing well, due to competition from banks… sometimes I feel I should loot a bank, or cheat someone and make crores of money. I know I will get caught, but at least I will have the satisfaction of having lived well for a little time. Sharavati comforts him. He says, you have not gained anything by marrying him. She tells him not to speak like that, and tells him to change his line. He says, I haven’t studied much, how can I start another business? She says, you will not need to work at all, if Gowri gets Annapurnamma’s aasti. SrikanTha says, but even if she gets, why will they give us? Sharavati says, why not, naavu maneyavaru, they sit and cry for MP, who is not even related to us, how can they leave us out? SrikanTha says, but is it true? They were not sure, talking about will and lawyer… so Sharavati says, I also don’t know, why don’t you talk to Gowri? He nods.

      Court scene – SS explaining about the second phase of committing a crime – preparation.
      First step was the pamphlet printed by Sadanand Patel, MP’s father.
      Second step was removing the brake oil. Why did SKD not attend the party meeting, but came here instead? it is because someone had to remove brake oil, and the best person to do it was a driver, so SKD got his trusted driver of ten years to do it – so that is why he came to the jaathre, when he had no business there. Brahmachar the driver told us all this – why will he lie, being such a trusted person? He was bribed with the gold jhumkis, etc.
      Also, CSP proved that the call coming to SKD was from Rane’s phone, so what? in the confusion, MP could have asked Rane for his phone and called from there – who will deny when you ask for their phone?
      Then SS says that MP had not taken her mother in the car, coz she knew what would happen. She gave a reason of premonition and eDagaNNu adarodu, but all that is nonsense, she knew all the time what would happen.
      [Mostly repeat of whatever we know – nothing new]

1133. Today I was listening to Radio Mirchi in the morning, and the RJ asked a question, “Which section in the newspaper do you first turn to?”
      Ajit, from Muktha had called in to answer. (Ajit is the Swamiji, right? I thought so by his voice). He said that he looks at the Comics/Cartoons section first 🙂

      Sanjay, I clicked on the “Cast” link to confirm if Ajit is the Swamiji, but it is going to some other comment.

1134. I saw a note in yesterday’s news paper. Someone wrote “In India, court trials last for ever. If you are wondering why, watch Muktha. Even after knowing whats the truth, the lawers are going onn arguing for the real culprits, bringing inn some wrong witnesses, supporting them as the truth!!”

1135. Very true

      Ninne sakkath bore aithu actually, muktha nodakke, swalpa yeleyodhu jaasthine aitha antha….? sometimes that repetative dialogues drain your entire interest abt the serial. If they drag it anymore, i m sure the regularity of viewers watching the serial might decrease.

1136. Also after yesterdays episode, TNS spoke about the poll.
      It seems as per the results in which about 65000+ SMSes were polled, about 50000+ polled for ‘Yes, Muktha should continue’.

      And hence, TNS and team, it seems, are forced to drag a little bit more, as per people’s wish, probably till the July end.

      😮

1137. Yeah , it was very boring yesterday . Especially SS’s part. When they consolidate and speak about motive, preparation etc … it gets boring. SS talks about the same issues again and again, inspite of CSP proving it wrong in the same court .

1138. Oh, Chaitanya, I switched off the TV as soon as Muktha got over, I did not know about the result of the poll… Oh no!! They are going to drag it and make it boring!
      Yes, yday was extremely boring, in fact, my bro-in-law usually reaches late at night and watches the 11 pm show, I told him to go and sleep, and not waste his time 😀
      If they drag it this way, it will be very difficult to sustain interest.
      I can’t believe there are so many people who feel that Muktha should continue!

1139. i was surprised when at the end of the serial TNS told that out of the 65K SMSs received, 51K wanted Muktha to continue. i.e. less than 25% voted MUK N! he told that muktha may get over by july end.
      maybe thatz the reason why Srikanta Swamy’s story is taken up now.
      true usha. muktha bubble-gum thara yeleetha idaare.
      srik, yaava newspapernalli odhiddu?

1140. Shruti, Yes the Swamiji is Ajit Hunde. And the casting link is broken. But you can find it as Post 585 in page 20.

      Hmm.. me too was surprised by the poll results. In fact I tried SMSing N atleast 3 times and it rejected. May be some programming here 😉 if (ans == N) dont-take-it! 🙂

      Chaitanya

1141. I tried too…but couldnt SMS MUK N !!!!
      I guess they take SMS only if it is MUK Y 😉 as Chaitanya has pointed out.
      Bellur avare, I read Vijaya Karnataka.

1142. May 9 – Tuesday.

      Aru gets a call from Pramod Kumar, he says he is coming back in 15 days itself. Ajji asks her if she will bring him home after that, she says yes.

      court – SS talks about the actual “happenings” part of the incident. He says that CSP kept saying Devraj was a wanted underworld criminal, but whatever Devraj said tallies. The gun used to do the deed was indeed MP’s, and the bullet fired from it was indeed from that gun.
      Then he stresses on the fact that MP went into hiding, citing that she was afraid that if she came out, Rane, Shivraj Hegde, etc, would implicate her. SS says that MP was close to the CM himself, she was close to SKD, to home secretary Challam, etc… she could have gone to any of them, is Rane greater than all of them? She did not go and hence she proved that she is guilty.
      He then reads out from a law book and says that it is written that, in any case, if the evidence is substantial, minor discrepancies should be overlooked. He requests the court to follow this. As most of the evidence is hard, and against MP and SKD, it is obvious that they are guilty. He says that if CSP tries to prove that his arguments are wrong, he will reply with counter-arguments. HE ends by saying that MP and SKD should be given the strictest sentence possible, as people should know that no matter how high or powerful the person is, crime will not go unpunished.

      SrikanTha and Sharavati come to Gowri’s house, saying that their gas cylinder is empty. They sit down to eat, and Nanjunda and Aru are a little cold, and express loudly what reason brought the couple here, because they never come without reason. SrikanTha asks them not to speak like thatSomebody asks how his business is going. He says it is ok, but Sharavati says that he is just saying that, our business is bad. Who will take loans from us at monthly interest, when banks are offering yearly interest? Sometimes we feel, let alone the interest, let the people who have taken loan give us back the principal, its enough. Actually we came because we have no money to buy new cylinder, etc. etc. Ajji says why don’t you join Nanjunda in farming, but he refuses. Then he says, I am glad to see you all like this, Aru getting married to a good person, Nanjunda doing well with his farming, and Gowri getting Annapurnamma’s aasti. Nanjunda says, how is it that you, who will know about all this first, not know that Gowri is not getting the aasthi after all? The couple is shocked, ask why, and Gowri explains. Then Nanjunda says, oh now i realized you came because you heard about the aasti. SrikanTa threatens to beat up Nanjunda, but Aru comes to Nanjunda’s rescue and says the same thing. You have only this in your mind, even if Gowri gets the Aasti, she will give it to some orphanage or something, not to you. SrikanTa is very angry, scolds Amma for letting them speak like that, and then he walks out with Sharavati. Amma is disturbed, but Aru says, he would have stayed if gowri was getting the aasti, let him go.

1143. Update not very detailed today due to lack of time.

      Thank you, Chaitanya!

1144. hi ,
      yeah i know “silli lalli” and “muktha” are uncomparable.
      i just said that i like silli lalli more than muktha.but every one knows the popularity of mukta as well silli lalli.i think we are lucky to find those to serials even in this hectic living situations.

1145. TNS has taken a right decision not extending the muktha too long and limiting it to Jul end. As Anitha said earlier Aru will not agree to Marry Manmohan until the Last Episode

1146. Hi everyone, havent been here for agggggggggggggeeeeeeeesssssss.
      Sanjay Anna’s getting married????
      CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
      You guys are all meeting up????
      WHEN????????????
      Plz tell me, coz even though I’m here, if ur meeting up in B’lore or somewhere,I’ll send my cousin or someone.
      Btw, Does this mean i have to call sanjay anna uncle? … im not doing that, hehe. 😛

      I wanted to vote, but coz im here, it doenst recieve the text mesages i send. I would have send no though. I want it to end.

      :O i hear you like the swamiji, haha, he’s so slw in talking, even in real life.

      Yep, SS talking is boring, i agree.

      I actually put in better pictures in the ppt. the pictures of csp in the uniform. If anyone can get pictres of SS, Devraj or the judge, it would be good, then it would look like the actual court scenes.

      Please tell me when you’re all meeting up. And remember, TAKE A PHOTO SANJAY ANNA, AND SEND IT TO ME!!!

      C u all soon, 😛 keep 🙂 !!

1147. We all are cooling saying its Boring to Hear the same dialog time and again. Imagine how the person delivering
      that dialog must be feeling ???

      I was just imagining the dialog delivery of Lohithashva as a lawyer is truely fantastic. He is on par with top Lawyers like Ram Jethmalani, Kapil Sibal, Nariman .

      Hats Off to you to you Sharath.

1148. I do agree with Prasanna,
      Its really boring to see the same dialogues being repeated. Its unimaginable how it’d feel for the actor to do that. And also, since Muktha court rooms are the depiction of real-life court rooms, I dont know how the real-life judges listen to the conversation between the two advocates, If it is an interesting case like Madhavi Patel and others, its still OK, but what if it’s not interesting 🙁

1149. Hi all,

      Just read some of the comments that the dialogues in the court case are kind of repetitive. But isn’t this what happens in a typical court case? After all the cross examination, comes the time of arguments where lawyers can no longer produce witnesses but put in theories in case of circumstantial evidence. This is exactly what is happening in this case.

      Arun

1150. SIR,

      PARTIALLY FOR SOME REASON & FOR SOME WHILE SERIAL LOOKS GOOD, BUT FOR MY FAIR KNOWLEDGE PLEASE DIRECT TOWARDS WHY???? PEOPLE MISUNDERSTANDS AND CREATE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS AND WHY THEY INTERFERE WITH UNRELATIONABLE MATTERS DOES IT REQUIRES FOR SOCIETY OR NOT. PLEASE SHOW ME IN YOUR SERIAL THAT WHAT SOCIETY CAN MAKE WHAT IS THAT IMAGE IN SOCIETY AND IF ONE EARNS NAME AND FAME THAT IS IMAGE OR WHAT IS REALLY LIFE, NOW A DAYS WE ARE COMPETING FOR NAME AND SAVE OUR MONEY, I WILL WAIT FOR THIS REPLY ON MY SCREEN.

      WITH REGARDS

      KIRAN H.S.

1151. Missed out one part in Tuesday’s update — Gowri says that she went to lawyer Padmanabhaiah, but he was on tour with his family, his assistants don’t know anything about the will. They say that Annapurnamma had not signed the new will. ONly after he gets back, will we know. I am worried that they will cheat Chinnu out of her share. Ajji says, how can they when it is in the will? Gowri says, I am just worried, also I felt terrible going and asking about the will, as an outsider. What will people say? Aru convinces her and tells her not to worry about it.
      ____________________________________________________________________________________

      May 10 – Wednesday

      [Muktha stretching starts 🙂 ]

      SrikanTha and Sharavati discuss, and come to the decision that they should get in touch with Mahesh. SrikanTha had helped Mahesh with a fake document, Mahesh will surely help him if he says that his business is not doing well. Slowly they should take the reins of the company into their hands, and then see what that madam Gowri will do. [Did not watch this part in detail, if I have missed out something, please fill in, thanks]

      Nanjunda’s fiance with her parents and thatha come, and usual nice relaxed conversation occurs. [Nothing of importance to narrate].

      A girl gets down from an auto in front of judge’s house. She walks with a crutch. Judge is reading, and a policeman comes and tells him that somebody who says she is your daughter has come to see you. Judge says, “Sharvani na?” and he goes down immediately.
      [If I remember right, the actress doing Sharvani’s role, is the same actress who was Sharada in Mayamruga. Please correct me if I am wrong].

      Judge is v pleased to see his daughter, and welcomes her warmly.

      Judge – what happened to your leg?
      Sharvani – just a little accident. I work in hilly areas, right, i slipped and fell.
      J – ok, as long as nothing is serious, no problem. When did you come?
      S – yday, I went straight to see Amma, and now came to see you. I will go back this afternoon to her.
      J – she must have been happy to see u. After all its been 3-4 years (?) since you left.
      S – yes, she held my hand and did not leave it for half an hour… There is nobody to look after her…. I feel so guilty, having gone away like that.
      J – (changing subject) what will u have?
      S – tea.

      (Both sit at table drinking tea).

      S – why didn’t u tell me about Amma?
      J – you had asked us not to contact you, when you left home.
      S – I was very cruel, I don’t know what had come over me, why I left home.
      J – it was partly my fault too, I wanted you to study law and be a lawyer, but you wanted to go with that Hemant and join his NGO. I did not have a good opinion about that Hemant, so I protested becasue I was upset, but i never thought you would get so angry as to leave home.
      S – (nods sadly).
      J – I heard you two got a registered marriage.
      S – yes, how did u know?
      J – I know. Dont think I spied on you, but whatever it is, you are my daughter, and I wanted to know how you are… so I made sure I know about you. Do you have any kids?
      S – no.
      J – so only you two at home?
      S – no, me alone.
      J – what?
      S – yes, I got a divorce from him one year back.
      J – can i ask why?
      S – the Hemant I loved and the Hemant I married were different. Outside, he gave speeches about equality, but at home, he dominated me. He hit me everyday. He used to doubt me for everything. Is there anything wrong in having male friends at office? For him, vishwasa and kaama looked the same. Sometimes he used to lock me up and go out. You see my leg? It is not an accident. He hit me on the knee cap with an iron rod several times. It is not temporary, my leg is injured permanently.
      J – (listening to everything, and feeling very bad). Why didn’t you tell us?
      S – i hadn’t even told you i got married, what can I tell you that I got a divorce? Besides I thought now if I come running to you, everybody will taunt me.
      J – Am I the kind who will taunt you?
      S – not you, but others. I did not even give a police complaint. I just divorced him and am living alone now. Sometimes I feel very lonely, I cry in my room. I want to be with you all, and younger brother Shantanu. How nice our family was, now everybody is in one direction. I spoilt everything (she weeps). Can I come back to you, will you accept me?
      J – (smiling) of course, hucchi, nothing can make me happier.
      [Very good acting by both here, touching scene].

They say that Annapurnamma had not signed the new will. ONly after he gets back, will we know. I am worried that they will cheat Chinnu out of her share. Ajji says, how can they when it is in the will? Gowri says, I am just worried, also I felt terrible going and asking about the will, as an outsider. What will people say? Aru convinces her and tells her not to worry about it.

1152. Arun, you are right, that must be the actual way in real life court cases – repetition. But what to do, in this world of limited patience, we are all tuned to fast-moving action 😀

      Kiran, could you please repeat your question? I don’t think I understood what you meant.

1153. yes, shruthi, u r right. sharadha in MAYAMRUGA and sharvani(sounds like a dress name) in MUKTHA.

1154. It was really good, I mean that senti scene of yesterday.
      I know someone who ran out of house to get married and cameback sometime later after divorcing that guy. It was a big shock to her parents. I now understand how her parents might have faced the situation. TNS brings inn all the real things and places them perfectly in his serials. I like it very much. And also, judge was addressing his daughter sometimes as Putta, sometimes as Mari and someother times as Magale…! Though Magale adjective is rarely used, others seemed real right? 🙂

1155. Yesterday could not see Muktha as there was no power due to heavy rains.
      Shruthi, Sharvani is also the one who played the role of Maya in Manvanthara.

1156. Yest’s Episode Ravi Biligiri’s acting was really great. The amount of restraint that he has shown in not shouting at Sharvani when she comes back come. The patience in which he listens to her and other problems.

      Even though I thought there was no much of story, but to pull until Jul end TNS needs some build up

1157. I hope now this hemanth (charecter) husband of sharvani is not linked with Rane and party , just for the build up u see…. whenever theres additional charecters in the serial i start getting worried , since it would get dragged more and more…

      For ex: sarangapani’s addition off late as rane’s family friend, Srikantha’s link with Annapoornamma’s son-in law – Mahesh etc.

1158. Kiran, Do you mean with context to the serial or do you mean in the day to day life ???

1159. Srik, I have seen characters use “Magale” in other serials like Guptagamini, etc. I haven’t seen anybody use it in real life 🙂 Yes, Ravi Belagere spoke those words “Putta” and “Mari” very naturally, and full of love. It was nice 🙂

      Murthy, I did not watch Manvanthara.. so don’t know about the characters! Sharvani is a good actress, I feel.

      Usha, same here, I also get worried when a new character enters 🙂 I was thinking, maybe Rane and co will kidnap Sharvani and keep her hostage until the judge rules in their favour 😀

1160. Hi,
      I have been following this blog for about 2 months now. 🙂 I came to the US and din’t have access to MUKTHA …and in this place I found the daily updates. It is really good. Thanks Shruthi for the detailed daily update. I was sad that Muktha would get over by the time I go back to India, Now that it is getting extended…I can catch up when I go back home. 🙂

1161. hello every one
      i have recently moved to uk with my son. but have been missing muktha for a while. is there anywhere i can watch or get the daily or weekly story so that i can catch up when i return back home in a cpl of months.
      thanks

1162. Bhagya avre,

      Just scroll down and you will see the transcripts of each and every episode. Thanks to Shruti, Sanjay and everybody here, we are able to “read” Mukta everyday. My heartfelt thanks to the “online” Mukta team for keeping us updated.

1163. Thursday – 11th May.

      Nanjunda calls CSP late in the night, says that Aru wants to speak to him. Aru says, “hello sir”, CSP says, “yenri chitra channel serkondu english nalli mathadthiddira… sumne “namaskara” annakke agolva?”. then aru says, nimhatthira ondu vishaya mathadbekitthu… CSP is pretty irritated, says that nimmane avarella peethike haakthira sumne… I have lots of work, get it over with. Speaks almost rudely to both Nanjunda and Aru. Aru then says taht she is worried that MP will not get released. Again CSP is irritated, says taht you are not the only one who is worried, I am also worried. Then he cools down, saying, I know you must have got worried listening to SS’ arguments, but don’t worry, I will counter-argue. Aru asks how he intends to do that, again CSP gets irritated and says, come and see in court, now stop disturbing me. 🙂

      Court scene – CSP starts off his argument, with some poetry, “NaaDannu kaTTabekemba aase”. He says that 10 years back, MP took this oath, and 22 years back, SKD and Rane took it, but now two of them are here standing as accused, whereas the real culprit is the third one. He says that SS eloquently praised MP and SKD to the skies, in his arguments, and then said they should be punished severely as an example that nobody is spared in court. But all he is doing is saying that the bad have to be protected, and the good punished. CSP says, that he is ashamed to be saying this about a colleague, but throughout, SS has been covering up the truth. He has identified himself with the real criminals, Rane, Chhabria, and the moment I uncover some truth, he has gone and covered it up. It may seem that I am being dramatic in court, but the real drama is being conducted secretly by SS in covering up everything. I apologize to the court and to SS for these statements, but I said it because it is the truth. [SS gives a sarcastic half-smile at this stage].

      CSP says, SS very dramatically stated that the tapes I showed as proof that AM was alive even 6 mins after the car fell off the cliff, were tampered with, and he went and superimposed mine and judge’s images and said that this is what I have done. But SS forgot one thing. The tapes I took were in the custody of the court all along. There is no way I could have tampered with it. If he still says that I tampered with it, he is implying that I, have got together with the judge, and have tampered with it, and that is very silly!

      I have proved beyond doubt that MP could not have shot and killed AM, and it was Devraj, who was clearly visible moving around with a pistol, who actually shot him. It is hard evidence,and it cannot be ignored.
      I will prove all this, and more, in my coming arguments.
      [Have I missed some important point?]

1164. KATTUVEVU NAVU HOSA NADANNA….
      RASADA BEEDANNA !!!!

      Can anybody complete this poem which CSP was telling in the court, The way arguments started by CSP was very impresive.
      I liked that poem !!!

1165. Bhagya, as Harsha said, you can scroll down, go to the previous pages, and find all the updates.

      Harsha and Sandhya, I am really glad my updates help :). Actually some of my friends keep telling me that I am just wasting my time, all the people who come to this site are ones who watch Muktha everyday, and so nobody actually reads my updates. But each time someone says that they find the updates helpful, I feel good 😉

1166. Shruthi, how are you able to remember each and every instances, do you jot down when the serial is in progress or that it the memory power that you have that you are able to recollect the next morning.

      Even my wife was saying that Sharvani was acting as CM’s daughter in Manavanthara.

1167. Shruti,
      you were asking sometimes back which lady is good among the Muktha cast, and there she arrived!!!;)
      Yes, CSP has started it pretty well. And now one suspense remains to be unfolded. As someone pointed out here a few days back that if it a valid proof in court to show a video tape with some special effects(slow motion, zooming etc..) How will the judge react to it will be seen that day.

1168. Prasanna, heh heh, no I don’t jot it down, but once, I seriously considered doing that. But generally I just watch the scene and mentally note points that I should remember. The next day when I start writing the update, as I remember each point, the associated details automatically come to mind. But sometimes, in the morning, if I am preoccupied, or sleepy or something, then I forget the points also :), let alone the details.

      Srik, I agree with you about Sharvani 😉

      Yesterday, did you notice, when CSP was saying that he could not have tampered with the tapes, because they were with the court all along, and when he said that the argument of SS is nonsense, all that time, SS was looking cool, and just not bothered. I wonder why.

1169. Hello all,

      First of all I’d like to thank Shruthi for the wonderful scene by scene updates. Though I’m in Bangalore, sometimes I cant watch Muktha becos of work or some other difficulties. My uncle and aunt have recently moved to UK and are missing Muktha. I used to painstakingly remember the previous day’s episode and write a very brief gist each day. Now Thanks to Shruthi, I dont have to remember, I simply copy the update and send it to them. They are happy about the detailed update, and what’s more, earlier, I used to stay up to watch the 11.00 PM episode, nowadays I’ve gotten too lazy to do that. 😉

      Thanks for the good work. 🙂

1170. Vani avare,
      u can be lazier, give ur aunt and uncle this link and ask them to get the updates daily from here. 😉 U can save the effort of copy-paste too 8 )
      Shruti, you better join ‘Bhumika’ or else they’ll run searching for u for stealing their prompt viewers to your updates 😉

1171. True Srikanth,

      That’s what I’m doing now…:-) As it was earlier, they used to get a 3-minute version from me, now they get the full 30 minute version.

      In fact, Nanna cousin Muktha bagge kelthiralilla…. iga avanigu bhaari interest shuru aagide.

      As you say, maybe Shruthi will soon be on Bhumika and ETV’s wanted list for bringing down the TRP…

1172. on the other hand she might have taken the TRP up as well, maybe people (like your cousin) who’ve read the story got interest to watch it 😉

      Really swamped with lot of things nowadays, hence my only intermittent involvement here – this looks like the way things will continue for a few weeks more… but will try to catch up the posts here (and comments on other pages of this site as well) this weekend. Since Shruti wont be available this weekend, not shooting for the gettogether this time. Shruti pls post an update asap if your situation changes.

      Amruta thanks a lot, saw your post… definitely will put up the snaps as well!

      Nice to hear from all the new (not really) readers out here! 🙂

1173. Hi shruthi, not all the guys here are able to watch the serial. Many of them, though not interactive enough, visit the site for just reading the updates.

      I think it is even helpful for those residing at Bangalore on numerous occassions.

      Nice updates. Even though i dont write everyday, i do read the updates. Thanks once again.

1174. SrikanTha goes to Mahesh. He says that he needs his help in taking revenge. Mahesh asks, against who, and SrikanTha says, against my own people, Gowri, Nanjunda, Aru, etc, avamaana maaDiddakke. Mahesh’s interest is roused, he says what did they do? SrikanTha says, they were fine some 3-4 years back, now they are all doing well.. My brother Purushotthama Shivaprakash avaragi naama haaki, he married his daughter. Now if something happens to Shivaprakash, all his aasthi will come to Purushotthama. Here, Gowri buttered your mother in law and got all her work done, and even got her to write her aasthi for her.
      Mahesh interrupts, says, who told you that, it is not true. Annapurnamma might have said that she will write the aasthi in Gowri’s name, but she hasn’t written. It is still in our name. SrikanTha says, thank God, i am so relieved, it should not go to people who don’t deserve it – it should go to you, you have the rights to it. Mahesh changes the topic, says, what can I do for you now? SrikanTha says, my finance business is not running well, I want to close it down. Please give me some work in your company, I will do anything. Mahesh thinks, says that I cannot give you work inside the company, but I will arrange for you to have an agency selling our products. SrikanTha is very pleased. Mahesh says, but you should also do some other things I ask you to do. SrikanTha says, anything, anything, I will be your man forever. Thank you very much, and he rises to go. Mahesh asks him to wait, goes in, gets a wad of notes and gives it to him, and says, keep this, you say your business is not good. SrikanTa is very happy, he takes it and goes. Mahesh gives a wicked smile.

      Court – CSP continues. He says, I am a poor ordinary lawyer, why will I put allegations against such powerful people like Rane and Chhabria? If in case SKD is convicted, Rane will become the CM, and then I know what will happen to me. I will become a football. I will be finished. I know the consequences. Yet, I am daring enough to put these allegations against these people. Why? Because I have the strength of truth with me. My heart and mind is confident enough to know that what I am saying is the truth.
      He says, SS had 47 witnesses for the prosecution! 47!! And I had only three. One of them, was Chhabria, my arch enemy. The second one is Madhavi Patel, the accused herself, and everybody knows that the witness of the accused is never taken into consideration. The third?? It was Parvati Gopinath, who came here against her wishes, and said at the starting itself, “Nangenu gotthilla!” antha! With these defence witnesses, I have come to the case, and at every point, I have proved the guilt of the accusers. The accusers are the offenders, your honour! You should note that.

      SS dealt with the case with motive, preparation and happening, I will also take it that way.
      First motive. Now tell me what motive MP had. Anger?? Is anger a motive? SS brought a psychologist who said that this stemmed from Impulse control disorder. from 4-5 years, she kept repeating that she would like to kill AM. Is this impulse? IMpulse lasts for 4-5 seconds. Will a future murdered go around dangoora baariskondu, naanu AM na kollthini, kollthini antha? Anger is not a motive, your honour!
      But what about Rane and Chhabria? they had the motive!
      Rane had AM and SKD ahead of him. With both out of the way, he would be the CM! He had reason to get rid of AM. Also, it is obvious that he wanted to get rid of SKD, as evident from the blast in South AFrica. It is just SKD’s luck that he wasn’t there. So what did he do? Make him the accused! He just wanted to be the CM! And what did he have against MP? she had opened a case, and made a list of all MPs with criminal cases against them. Most of them were Rane’s followers. If they were not given tickets, he would not become CM! So he had to get rid of her. His motive is much stronger!
      Now Chhabria. He had some contracts that he wanted clearance for. AM did not give. But the moment AM was out of the way, Rane called a cabinet meeting, and gave that highway contract to Chhabria! Chhabria just wanted AM out of the way! And what did he have against MP? She had reopened Usha G’s case. If MP had continued for a while longer, he would be arrested. He tried transfering her, but she got a stay, and so he wanted to finish her off. These two have the stronger motives, your honour… is anger a motive against these strong motives?

1175. That was the update for Friday – May 12th – forgot to put the heading. Sanjay, if you have time, please edit that comment and put the heading “Friday – May 12th”. Thanks.

      Ayyo, from all your comments, I am getting worried about ETV and Bhumika coming after me!! Maybe I should ask Judge Nagabhushana Gowda for 24-hour police protection 😀

      Vani, Guru, etc, Thanks a lot :)) Looks like I don’t need any more proof that people do read my updates ;)) Anyway makes me feel good 😉

      Sanjay, I am embarrassed that you are postponing the get-together on my account 🙁 . I hope that is not the only reason ;)! I hope it’s ok for everybody to meet some other weekend.
      I don’t see the situation changing, Sanjay. I am working today (Saturday) 🙁 – and tomorrow, though I am not working, I have loads of commitments!

1176. thx, definetly put up the pics, i want to see who all you guys are!!
      cya round, i have to go, bye.. keep 🙂

1177. Btw, im sorry if youve already mentioned this, but exactly when are you guys meeting? coz im telling my cousin suchi in awhile… 🙂 cyu!

1178. Shruthi,
      As you said “all that time, SS was looking cool, and just not bothered. I wonder why.”
      I guess this is the same clip of SS showing many times( I dont think they will freshly shoot every time)
      I have observed this in many characters like Nagabooshana gowda, SS, SKD, Lady lawyer(smiling always), MP etc….

      I guess other too have noticed this.

1179. Yes, I have observed that too… most of the clips are repeated – but I have seen lots of clips where SS is worried. He raises his eyebrows, or puts his hand on his moustache and strokes it, or he takes a deep breath and looks down – something. I was just wondering why they didn’t put those clips in this situation.

1180. As you say,maybe these are all old clippings and they’ve been attached at the appropriate plces…but they sometimes seem to make CSP’s points look ineffective. At least some bit of discomfort or whatever emotion the dialog invokes…that would have been a little more suitable for the scene. I actually heard someone ask about this to TNS in one of the Samvaadas, but there was no satisfactory reply, it was overshadowed by some other question.

1181. Hi… It’s becoming tedious to watch the supercilious expression on SS’s face…Also, CSP is presenting his arguments in a very emotional way which can impact adversely on the case, I feel…Can’t they show him presenting his case in a more rational manner?? And as for the latest escapade of Srikanta, the less said the better… I’ve really taken to wondering if TNS really needed to bow down to pressure to continue with the serial for a longer time.. If these are the new plots, not many people will have the same interest as before…

1182. brilliant update, shruthi. Mahesh’s wicked smile, the kind of smile which curves, downwards, but still looks wicked.. and i was trying to imagine shrikantu’s acting; subordinate, begging.. this is the perfect example of two people who gain from each other, by a third persons loss…fantastic..
      CSP’s build up was worth noting too..

1183. Hi Shruti,
      It was a wonderful update. For some reason i missed the Friday’s episode.
      But I was sure of a detailed and very good update here.
      Thanks a lot for the same.

      I think that Mahesh Madhuvanti stuff will give a new direction to Muktha.
      Its one case out of the real political issues raised by the serial. I wish it will not be dragged out of proportion.
      And about the court scene, I think CSP should not be rational in his approach,
      ‘coz he has dealt it with the spice of emotion althrough the procedings of this case.
      He should continue in the same lines.

      And the SS might be smiling ‘coz he knows he will not lose anything if he loses the case also, since the truth is not in his side.
      Might be he also started working on MP and SSD side. Just a guess 😉
      Or he might just be too wicked to accept his failure to stand for truth.

      Lets just hope our Muktha will end with a good flavour.

1184. Anoop, thanks 🙂 Yes you described Mahesh’s smile just perfectly!

      Srik, thank you! I also keep wondering whether SS or maybe Sandhya M are helping CSP behind the scnenes — naaahh! wishful thinking I guess 🙂

      Diya, yes, I hope all these side stories are not dragged too much. We don’t want to get bored by Muktha… the viewers want it to end with a bang!

1185. I found out that ETV isn’t becoming a pay channel until 6 months time!!! YAY… im so happy!
      Better go, 😛 keep 🙂 !!

1186. The extension by 2 months has resulted in one more plot in gowri’s house. Imagine if any of the family had to face these kind of in real life what plight it could be.

1187. Monday – May 15

      CSP talks about preparation.

      He says, the prosecution has said that pamphlets were distributed by Sadananda Patel. But it was paid for by Chhabria’s company! Also, prosecution says that Gundumani and the other guy, were hired by MP. But as I have shown, these two guys are Rane’s shishyas. They stand behind him during his speeches. Also, these guys are labour contractors for Chhabria’s company. Also, they were seen shouting slogans against AM in the jaathre. Just 4 days later, in the condolence meeting, they were shouting slogans against MP.
      One more thing. If MP had indeed hired them to cause trouble, would she be stupid enough to make them shout slogans like MP zindabad, in the jaathre?
      Also, gundumani and the other guy said that MP had come on Nov 19th to their house to give them one lakh and ask them to get people and maarakaastragaLu, and come and shout slogans on the jaathre. But I have proved that at that very time, MP was sitting next to Shivraj Hegde in the commissioners meeting. How can you believe the statements of liars like those two, your honour?
      Then the jaathre itself. The regular jaathre was in december. But Chhabria paid 50000 to have a special jaathre for vajrada kavacha thodisodu, in AM’s name. Number one, AM’s manedevaru is aatmalingeshwara, whose jaathre was opn nov 26, just 2 days after this jaathre. Why not put the kavacha for that God? Because, there is no mountain there to take a car up, and no cliff to throw AM down. Also, MP is not the SP for that area, so she would not be tehre. Jalakanteshwara was perfect for their plan.
      Also, Chhabria himself said that he was the one who forced AM to cancel party meeting and come to the jaathre. It was not MP!! So whose preparation was it, your honour?

      Also, about the jaathre. Chhabria, who hasn’t been to a temple at all, for the first time in his life, becomes a convenor for this jaathre. And Chandrakant Pavate is in the reception committee! too much planning!

      Now about the kavacha itself. Why kavacha for AM? Chhabria had no answr for that. And when I asked him to produce the kavacha in court, he says it has got lost! A diamond kavacha lost? And he hasn’t given any police complaint also!! Can it be believed? It is obvious that a kavacha wasn’t even made. Because Chhabria knew that by the time the time came for the vajrada kavacha thodisodu, AM would be dead, so there would be no use for it.

      Now coming to Brahmachar. What a betrayer he is! He used the silver jhumki that SKD gave him with so much vishwaasa, to say that it was a bribe to make him take out the brake oil. Also, he got paapa pragne very late. When did he get it? When SKD refused to go to South Africa, and so the plan to kill him failed, and so he had to be made the accused. See, what a remarkable coincidence! SKD did not go to SA, and Satya Harishchandra Brahmachar’s conscience started to bother him!

      All this just goes to show that at every stage, there were very thorough preparations, on a very large scale. And all done by Rane and Chhabria. They do all this, and then finally accuse MP of the crime! Can it be believed?

1188. Yesterday, CSP was almost shouting, and speaking in a very high pitched voice – very very intensely! My sister heard Muktha from outside the room, and was wondering why instead of Muktha, we were watching Yakshagana 😀

1189. Muktha – Tuesday – May 16th

      Gayatri and her parents and tata have come to Nanjunda’s house. Her father and mother say that let us get hold of a convenient date and get them married. Amma says that no, first ARu should get married. So tata says, good idea, lets get ARu and Nanjunda married on the same day. Everybody is happy with this suggestion but Aru says that if my marriage is late also, its ok, you go ahead and get Nanjunda’s marriage done with, but i have a request. Until the court case gets over and MP and SKD are freed, lets not think of any celebrations. Avaru namage bekaaddavaru, it won’t look nice if we celebrate when they are in trouble. Everybody agrees to this.

      Court – CSP talks about the actual events.

      1) If MP wanted to kill AM, she could simply have jumped out and let the car fall off the cliff. Why would she shoot from her own gun, and that too leave the gun in the car, and then jump out? She knows the gun will be found, bullet traced to her gun, etc. Also, all murderers first think of concealing the weapon. why will she leave it there?

      2) IF she really did kill AM, then the moment she shot, blood should have covered her uniform. But there is no blood on her uniform, it is there on Devraj’s uniform. Sandhya M explains that MP shot AM, and then jumped out of the car before the blood spurted. For her to do shoot, get the gun back, throw it in the front seat and then jump out, it would have taken 10 seconds. Whereas the blood would have spurted up in just 1 and a half seconds. So did the blood wait to spurt, for ten secs? What was it doing? WAs the blood dancing in space until MP jumped out? 🙂

      3) Ok, forget that part. Now it is clear that the entry wound is from the left of AM, while MP was on his right. If she had to bend and shoot him, it would have to be a close shot, and all the signs of the entry wound shows that it was a long distance shot.

      3a) The bullet, had it been shot from the left, would have been lodged to the right of AM, but it was found lodged on the left! It means that Devraj picked up the bullet from the ground, and stuck it there. It was the same bullet that MP had fired to open the doors.

      4) Devraj says that he saw MP shoot AM and jump out, and then he also jumped out. After he jumped, why didn’t he go in search of MP, after all he was her employee? No!! He went in search o AM!

      5) Devraj says that he walked 12 km to “help” AM. If he really wanted to help, the police outpose was just 3/4 km away. Why didn’t he go there for help? All he wanted to do was remove all evidence at the crime scene.

      6) The car fell leaning towards the right, and according to Newton’s laws, it fell, and then bounced a little to the right and then fell to the right. AM’s body, since it would have fallen from the left, should have fallen towards the left. But it defied all Newton’s laws and it went and fell underneath the car, how is it possible?

      7) I have even showed in the tapes, that AM was alive long after the car fell to the ground. And remember that it was the tapes which was in the court’s custody. So i could not have tampered with it.

1190. Its ARU’s trick to prolong the miseries of the muktha watchers by postponing her marriage. We could’ve been relieved of all the bad things in muktha if she got married 🙁

      And CSP’s arguments are perfect and really thought provoking. Hmmm interesting.. He has not yet started in his argument the UGk2 case yet!!! When is he going to take it up??!!!

      And one more thing..for those who watched Moodala mane, the same ETV made the makers of that serial prolong it for a few months…and the flair of the real Moodala mane was washed away. It was just dragged towards the ending. 🙁 I’m worried about Muktha for that… someone help me.

1191. Dear all,
      Nanjundana maduve yaavaaglo. Mattu Arundathi maduve devare balla. BUT NAMMA SANJAY MADUVE NAADIDDU(19th)@ ISKCON.
      Had been to his place in the morning where the house was looking marvellous bedecked with flowers and chappra. Got to hear good naadaswara music LIVE. Sweets: Ladoo and Jilebi.

      yelladaru iru, yenthadaru iru,
      ladoo-jilebi thindkondu haayaagiru!

1192. Well, few things about the falling-of-the-car didn’t convince me. All the Newton’s law of body and car moving in the inverted V direction etc probably holds good for a fall from a small hillock or so. But as per the Chitra channel video shown the car had a free fall from a huge height and could have turned and toppled many times and hence the body could end up anywhere compared to the car, the doors of which were open too!

      Also mostly in movies etc we see any vehicle falling catches fire very quickly! Why didn’t it happen here? Or the movies just add the fire for highlighting?

1193. Ramkrishna avare nanna hotte uri baruthaidde. I’m missing all those. Namma Karnataka ootadalli baro ruchi bere avaradalli barodilla.

      Recently our Co appointed a Caterer who is from udupi settled in hyd. People here cant stop eating the sweets he brings along with lunch.

      Whatever CSP might say, what i felt was the murder was close to foolproof well planned.

      But its always Satyameva Jayathe.

1197. 17th May – Thursday

      Gowri goes to Mahesh’s house, calling for Chinnu. She sees Mahesh happily sitting and eating (again uppittu), and tells him that chinnu called her and asked her to come urgently, and it sounded like Madhu was hitting her, and asks where she is. Mahesh is rude, refuses to tell her, saying, what is your relationship with her, and why are you poking your nose into our matters. We will hit her or beat her, it is our wish, as she is nammane hudgi. Gowri has tears in her eyes, requests him not to do that, says, if she bothers you so much, Iwill take her to my home and keep her with me. Mahesh laughs sarcastically, says, you tried to get some of my atthe’s aasthi, now when that failed, you are trying to get hold of Chinnu’s share. Gowri is shocked, shouts at him, says, all you can think of is money. You went on cheating my atthe out of her money when she was alive, now you are trying to get hold of Chinnu’s aasthi. They exchange hot words, and Mahesh asks her to leave. Gowri says ok I will leave, but I request you, do not harm that innocent child, otherwise nimge volledaagalla.

      Court. CSP continues.

      1) In order to get to the accident scene, driver Devraj would have had to go into the guest house compound. For that, he needed the key to the gate, and the electronic card to get into the guest house. Only Chhabria could have given it to him.

      2) When Devraj went to the accident scene, he saw to his shock that neither AM nor MP’s bodies were there. When Devraj jumped off the car, he went to the scooter that was parked nearby. MP and AM must have jumped off just as the car was falling into the cliff, so Devraj would have seen the car go down, but not AM and MP jumping out. It was here that AM sustained his antemortem wounds plus a collarbone fracture. If he waas dead before jumping out, how would it be antemortem wounds?

      4) When Devraj saw that AM was not there, he panicked and went to the guest house to call Chhabria, who called Gangaswamy, and called back Devraj to tell him to shoot and kill them. As chhabria *always used* Gangaswamy to carry out killings, he had constant links with him. He was the one who arranged the South AFrica murder plan also.

      5) Devraj took the gun, went up the cliff looking for AM. In the video clipping, when Devraj took the scooter and went, and when he was climbing, there was no blood on his uniform. He must have seen AM on top, and then shot him from below, thats why entry wound is at the bottom of AM’s face. Then he must have dragged him down and placed him under the car. That explains AM’s antemortem wounds.

      It is all very clear. Think about it, your honour. SS said that MP and SKD are noted personalities, and they should be strictly punished, as an example. But if they went to the gallows, imagine, Rane will become the CM, with Chhabria behind him. Already our state is in darkness. With people like this heading, what will happen? I dread to think of it. I request you to free MP and SKD, they are innocent and the state needs people like them.

1198. Hi, I will not be able to watch Muktha tonight, as I will be in our Sanjay Anna’s wedding reception 😉 [IF the rain is kind enough to cooperate, and not pour down tonight, as is happening so regularly nowadays. Will be difficult to attend the wedding if it rains :(].

1206. Thursday – May 18th

      Party meeting with Rane. Ramana Rao (RR) is also present. The party candidates start blaming RAne for a bad party image, and that his photos are splattered across the papers saying that he is a murderer. They say that if this is the case, the party will perform badly in the elections. Rane is very angry, he shouts at them. RR placates Rane, explains the problem. He says, what they are saying is true. Just think, if the party leader’s name is dragged again and again into this case, the image of the party will naturally fall. These people will have no chance of winning. Another party member says, we have a request, don’t feel bad. If you resign as party president, and if we go into the elections with a different leader, it will be good. It will do good to your image also, and also the party’s image. Rane thinks, he says, you have a point. RR says, we have full faith in your innocence. Once your name is cleared, we will make you only the CM. Rane says ok, I will
      resign tomorrow and project RR as the CM. Everybody is happy.

      Courier guy comes to Nanjunda’s house, Nanjunda takes it, its for Aru, he starts opening it. Ajji says, don’t open, let Aru open it, and they call her. She asks from whom is it. Nanjunda says Manmohan. Aru is surprised. Nanjunda starts opening it, she grabs it from him and sees, its from Pramod Kumar. She shouts at him and says, why did you lie, can you only find fun in everything? She scolds him and goes inside. Ajji and AMma scold Nanjunda. Then she comes out and thrusts a packet into his hands. She says, this is the gift Pramod Kumar sent me from Australia, and this is his letter. Take it, do whatever you want. Then she storms inside. Nanjundanige full digilu.

      Rane and RR drinking. Rane says, each time CSP speaks, my heart goes davadava… I am getting more and more scared. Yeno madokke hogi inneno aagi hoythu. Nanna katthigene banthu. Our lawyer SS is also saying that case is very difficult. And these people? How much I have helped these shishyaru of mine… How many criminal things i have done for them. NOw they have turned against me. Namak Harams! RR tries to calm him down, saying, all this happens in politics. Rane says, what about you? If our party comes to power, you will also forget me. RR says, chhe chhe, no way, I swear on my children, I will move aside and give you the seat. I will never forget what you ahve done for me. Rane is satisfied.

      Rane says where is Sarangapani, he said he will come, he has not yet come. He calls him up. Sarangapani(SP) comes shortly. He says, I am sorry, my flight was late, now I have to go to Colombo to discuss a case, so I thought I would just drop in because you asked me to.
      Rane says, yes, do you remember how much we have done for you? Your uncle RR helped you with money, but I was the one who helped you get seat in medical, and even for your post grad. SP says, yes, yes, how can I forget, nimma ruNa nanna mele ide.
      Rane says, in that case you have to do something for me. SP says, anything for you. Rane says, all you ahve to do is, you have to set the operation date of Judge’s wife, only after the judgement of the case comes out. SP is puzzled. Rane explains. He says, you just have to tell him, that if the judgement is not on our behalf, your wife will die at the operating table. SP is shocked. He says, what are you saying, this is blackmail. Rane says, no no, it is not. SP says, but it is unethical. As a doctor, I should not do this. RR says, we are not asking you to kill her. We are just asking you to put a precondition. Nothing wrong in that. Rane says, if the judgement is against us, both your uncle RR and I will be in trouble, think of what we did for you. SP is very upset and worried. He says, I don’t know what to say. I feel it is wrong, but I am not able to say no to you. I will come back from Colombo, and then we will think about it. Rane and RR smile at each other. Rane gives a cold and cruel smile.

1207. ____________________________________________________________

      Yes, I saw Muktha yday! Thanks to a horrendous traffic jam, and non-stop rains, I could not attend the reception.:(
      Could anybody attend?

      Couldn’t access this site since morning, hence the late update. Did others have a problem too?

1208. hi shruthi,
      the site was not accessible since morning.
      sad that most of us couldn’t attend the reception.
      i went in the morning today for muhurtha. wished sanjay and had a lovely tiffin.

1209. i felt as if this BLOG had been to it’s creator’s wedding and has come now after having a lovely time at ISKCON.

1210. Friday – 19th May.

      Aru and her Amma are talking. Amma is remembering the time she got married, she was so happy, people around her were happy, and she used to silently smile and feel happy, manassinalli sambhrama itthu. But she doesn’t see any of this in Aru’s face. She tells Aru to cheer up, and then gets up to go. Aru comes after her, hugs her and cries a lot. Amma consoles her, tells her that if she wants to change her mind, it is fine. Aru says, but I have already promised Pramod Kumar. Amma says, so what, tell him that you have changed your mind. If you find it difficult, then invite him home, we will talk to him. Ok? Aru smiles, and agrees! [At last, she got over her ego :)]

      Court – SS offers counter arguments. He offers explanations for each of CSP’s arguments.

      1) CSP says that AM’s shoulder wound was antemortem wounds. But ante-mortem wounds can occur upto 10-15 secs after being shot, because the blood is still circulating in the body. So, if AM had fallen out immediately after being shot, even then, it could be an antemortem wound. So CSP’s assumption is not valid, that MP could not have shot him inside the car.

      2) He calls his assistant and demonstrates how, even inside the car, MP could have shot AM, from the bottom right. [We lost cable connection at this point, so I don’t know how he demonstrated.]

      3) CSP is dragging in Usha G’s case, and Chinnarika, and all that stuff, all unconnected. He is just being dramatic. There is no relation, it is all Kaagakka Gubbakka kathe – all his defences and assumptions are very flimsy. I can prove them all wrong.

      SS spoke very convincingly.

      [Actually we had a lot of cable interruption on Friday. So this is the best update I could manage. If anybody can add to this, it will be great! Thanks!]

1211. Bellur Ramakrishna, good that you could go in the morning! 🙂 Yes, your explanation about the blog going to the creator’s wedding seems to be a very logical explanation 😉

1212. Hi Shruthi,

      Here are the small bits that I could remember about Friday’s episode.

      2) He calls his assistant and demonstrates how, even inside the car, MP could have shot AM, from the bottom right.
      he grips his assistant’s jaw, forcibly turns him towards his left {I am sorry if I havent got the orientation right}
      and points the pistol to his neck at the right.

      4)SS says MP as a senior Police Officer should have obtained a complete dossier on the antecedents of Devraj. She must have known that Devraj was a supari killer and in spite of that she employed him.

      5) Regarding CSP’s argument that court should not take into account Devraj’s evidence, SS says that in the larger perspective of the case, court has to disregard his antecedents and it has to accept his evidence because he is the only eye witness to the case. He quotes some supreme case judgement to support his point.

      SS says with this I have proven conclusively that these two were involved in the murder and must be punished most severely.

1213. Hi Friends,

      Sorry for giving you all a very bad news, it may be one of the worst news after the Independence.

      Subhash Srivastav an AIIMS student died at 6:44 pm on 20/05/2006, because of hunger strike protesting against
      reservation.

      So called secular media is not covering it. Please pass this to all and help not to let down his sacrifice.

      People should start a nation wide agitation against congress, communists, RJD, LJP and the parties of there likes.

1214. Thanks a lot, Vani! That helped me too 🙂
      Murthy, yes I got that mail… very sad. But I don’t understand why the media is covering it. The media, that too nowadays with competition, will be waiting for such news, they will be ready to pounce on it and put it on their channel first.

1215. In the prev comment, I meant, “Why the media is NOT covering it”.

1216. Hi Shruthi,

      Inspite of the competition in media, they are very much dictated by the big guns in the government several times. Sometimes they are also threatened. They will shoot it and file it in their records. They even think of the consequences of the pro reservation lobby, coz pro reservation lobby group threatens them in numerous ways. They may attack the studio, destroy valuable equipments, harm their personnal et al. And with all this, nothing can be done against the pro reservation lobby, they will book a petty case and arrest a few persons, just to release them on bail after a few minutes. The case will eventually die its own death (without a good lawyer like CSP to take up this case). Have a good day.

1217. Murthy….
      Please dont circulate this kind of rumors or hoax messages.What ever you are saying is wrong & dont panic people by such kind of rumors.Check below link for such kind of hoax messages.

1222. Monday – May 22

      CSP argues against SS’s points.

      1) SS said that the car and the body would have fallen in splayed Y position only if AM had fallen out of the left side. But since the car, while falling, tilted to the right side, AM could have fallen on the right side itself, and hence under the car. CSP says, in that case, he would have had injuries on the right side, and not the left side. More than that, AM, a man of 92 kgs, if his body had fallen from that height of 1000 feet, his body would have been a bundle of broken bones. How come he had so less injuries? It means that his body fell from not more a height than 3 feet.

      2) SS had demonstrated, with his assistant, by turning his face towards him, and shooting him from below, and showed how the bullet could have gone through the right of AM’s throat, and get lodged on the left side of the car. But here it is the assistant, who was cooperative. If AM had seen the gun in MP’s hand, his first reaction would be to push it away or kick out, and not sit like a puppet and say, “come on MP, turn my face, shoot me and kill me”. SS has given wrong argument against this.

      3) SS asked why I kept on bringing Rane’s and Chhabria’s background. A person is known by his history. His history determines his character. Both have a history of being cheats and traitors. Can such people not commit this small crime?

      4) SS says that Usha Gopinath’s case has no relation here, but it is the base for this murder. CSP goes again into the details of Usha G’s case – about how she was an innocent patriotic girl, her discovery, what it would mean to the drug companies, how Chhabria received money to stop her discovery from coming out, etc, etc [A lot in detail, everything repeat, nothing new].
      He recites a poem my KSN, saying “Jinke ge chigurina hambala, aadare podeyalli huliyu ide” or something like that, and likens UG to the jinke, chiguru to her discovery, and huli to Rane and Chhabria.

      CSP says, these two are traitors, they have to be severely punished, and then he ends his counter argument.

      Judge says “Judgement on 25th”. [This is what it sounded like. Am I right?]

1223. Nandakumar, nimage swagatha.

      Prasanna, probably if many people go to Sampada and ask the same repetitive questions, they will select those questions itself, because max ppl want to ask it 😀
      Anyway, we can always ask everybody to go ahead and put in their questions here, and we can consolidate and send.
      I personally can’t think of anything to ask 😉

1224. I felt Judgement on 24th

      Praveen

1225. Shruthi, I tried posting my question in Sampada.net , but it requires a user login (I am very lazy to create one ) ..

      So, if you are planning to consolidate questions from this site and post it there .. thats a great idea.

      Here is my question.

      ***************
      ಯಾತಕ್ಕೆ ಸೀತಾರಾಮ್-ರವರಿಗೆ Multinational SOFTWARE companies ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಅಸಮಾದಾನ . ನಾನು ಬೇರೆ companies ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕೆಳುತಿಲ್ಲ . Software companies ಮಾತ್ರ.
      ***********

      We all have discussed about this issue in this site . So, you could ask this question on behalf of this site as well.

      – Anitha.

1226. There is one question in my mind for TNS. Its about his views on Naxsalism. because, he says repeatedly in his serial “Kattuvevu Naavu Hosa Nadondanu Rasada Beedondanu…” And Is Naxsalism a way to bring up this “Rasada Beedu”. Why I ask this is in some episodes of Muktha TNS has shown a Naxal guy with full soft heart. I guess TNS has some soft corners about Naxal movement. Lets know why he introduced Naxal character in Muktha, also why was it ended abruptly.
      And also its time we get whats in his mind about the MNC software companies(As Anitha has pointed out).
      We should frame some questions relating to these issues and try getting answers to them from none other than TNS himself.
      There is one more lighter question Does he create characters and select artistes or select artistes and make characters out of them or he frames characters in mind, selects some fellow.. and make a character out of him(as a director can bring out Rasa from a Kasa).

1227. Anitha,
      I think many times TNS has answered why he is againsts MNC(there is no where mentioned Software MNC’s, Its an all MNC)

      If you go back to early episodes of Muktha you could have seen the explanations about why he was against MNC… especially in Colambia Coppers case !
      However its better to ask TNS is he added Software MNC’s also in his hit list.

1228. as far as i know, TNS is a follower of Rajeev Dixit, founder of SWADESHI BACHAO ANDOLAN. some of u must have heard Dixit’s lectures. once u hear them, it awakens the swadeshi in you very effectively. (you got to hear that guy to experience the effect). he just blasts off at anything remotely MNC-ish. even in the MUKTHA title card, u can see Rajeev Dixit’s name.
      so it is not surprising that TNS is against anything that is VIDESHI.

1229. I remember long time back in an interview TNS had said that he supports Naxalites

1230. Hi Srik,

      Some time back, maybe more than a year ago, TNS had introduced the naxalite Madhukar Swamy (MS)in the serial, he was introduced as a batchmate of MP, who was disillusioned by the bureaucracy and therefore became a naxalite. MP was posted in the anti naxal squad and wanted to reform MS and not gun him down in any encounter.He became a source of trouble between MP and her husband Prabhanjan Mishra.
      Around the time MP was meeing MS and trying to reform him, our Police gunned down some suspected naxals…among them a young man from Mysore if I am not mistaken… his mother refused to claim his body… took up lots of media coverage. Around that time, TNS came on TV and informed that he wouldnt be continuing with the Naxal theme anymore in order to avoid any sort of problems with the authorities or anyone else concerned. I feel this is becos probably he was projecting himself to be a pro-naxal thinker.

1231. Ohhh! All these happened!! I was not aware of it. Thanks Vani for the information. I was wondering why it was included and later removed without any notice.
      Also, at the time of Saket(Naxal leader)’s encounter, I remember seeing a mail in Vijay Karnataka by some noted thinkers, including UR Anantha Murty and TNS, condemning the police action. I wanted to know what use this land would get, allowing such extremists live and continue the blood bath they are up to(though not in Karnataka, we see them do it in Andhra and other states). I strongly feel that “Rasada Beedu” can only be built on the foundation of Love and understanding between the people, not by any blood shed and dead values. One should be rational in thinking, rather than becoming an anti-govt activist.

1232. Vani,
      Thanks for reminding about the much forgotten NAXAL BIT. I remember reading an article in RANDOM RAMBLINGS BLOG that “TN Seetharam made a statement before the airing of his Mukta serial that he would stop showing the Naxal movement favorably in his serial. He also ‘recanted’ his statement that he supported the Naxal movement in the face of this exhibition of violence. This statement was in the Vijayakarnataka (a Kannada newspaper) Reader’s column.”

      Another article to highlight that TNS is against globalisation:
      ____________________________________________________________

      NEW INDIAN EXPRESS

      Kannada director flays media’s junk food culture

      Tuesday February 1 2005 10:53 IST

      MYSORE: Kannada serial director and actor T.N. Seetharam has regretted that people’s respect towards language and culture is deteriorating due to the importance given to western culture by the media.

      Observing that newspapers concentrated on stories related to metro cities to entertain people, he said it was the reason for the deterioration of our culture.

      Newspapers should instill respect in our own culture, instead of entertaining western culture, he regretted. Speaking at an interaction programme with the media here on Monday, he said that social movements had lost ground with the advent of globalisation.

      There was a growing gap between the haves and have-nots.
      ____________________________________________________________

      and Srik, you are right, a responsible citizen must be rational in thinking.

1233. What i personally feel is that the basic intention of the Naxals are really fair, getting basic Food Clothing and Shelter to an individual.

      It was all fine until 1960s that when our Dear Jyothi Basu gave a different twist to it by allowing the Bangladeshis into West Bengal as a illegal refugees and make it legal after some time. This gave an impetus to these refugees to support the Red Flag. This is when the Naxals got the direct support from the Political Parties openly. Then on its a history

1234. I guess if Communists were patriots, India would’ve been in a different position by now. Unfortunately, Indian communists are anti-native culture. They see only caste system in Indian culture. They see only Dalits as sufferers, they can go to any extent to condemn the Hindu culture, recent example being the allegations against Baba Ramdev. Why can’t see the contribution of Indian rishis to the world of astrology, medicine, mathematics, spirituality, ethical values….etc…
      However, there is no need to shed blood in the name of some dead values. Is there no value to the human life in this country?!!! There is no need for us to kill someone to get food for some one else…! How pity!!! we should be proud to be Indians, not ashamed of being one.

      ___________________________________________________________

      Since so much is being discussed about Naxalism here, I thought of giving….

      A brief history about Naxals:( No, i dont support them).

      The Naxalite movement in India started under the leadership of Charu Muzumdar and Kanu Sanyal in 1967, in Naxalbari, a small village in West Bengal. The Naxalite factions were a part of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), however they formed their own revolutionary outfit, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist). Most of the Naxalite groups operating today, like Peoples War Group (PWG), Maoist Communist Center (MCC) and Communist Party of India (Maoist), can trace their ideological/political origins to CPI (ML). The Naxalite movement, at the outset, was an uprising of the rural poor against the government bureaucracy and the social structure. The primary aim of the movement was to emancipate the poor through social and land reforms. Although the aim was a noble one, the method chosen to achieve it, i.e. armed insurgency against the state, was completely misguided and criminal. The Naxalite movement quickly veered away from its professed agenda of social justice and today various Naxalite factions are nothing more than tools at the disposal of external forces that want to create internal turmoil in India.

      If Indian society can raise the standard of living of the rural poor, the support to the Naxal movement will decrease significantly. With a reduced support in the rural areas, the Naxalite movement will be easy to defeat. Hence, continuous efforts for the upliftment of the rural poor and effective law enforcement and administrative action are necessary to defeat the Naxalite menace.

1237. Tuesday – May 24

      Judge is preparing tea for Sharvani, they share some happy moments. Sharvani says, I saw Amma, she is very happy, the Doctor had come and gave her bharavase that she will be absolutely fine after the surgery. Judge says, its all because of you. Your presence has given her new enthusiasm for life. Sharvani says, I will never do anything that will cause unhappiness to you both, ever again. I am so happy now to have your’s and Amma’s love, let us live happily together. Judge says, all taht is fine, but whenever I think of Hemanth, my blood boils, he gave you so much pain. Avananna sumne biDodilla. Sharvani says, forget it pappa, this is the time to think of happy things… I don’t want to even remember him. Just then Judge’s son Shantanu calls from the US, he talks to Sharvani, they share some light bro-sis moments.

      Nanjunda and Ajji are sitting, Thatha is dozing off. A car stops and a girl comes into the house and says she is Pankaja and is Aru’s friend. She looks very disturbed. Ajji says that Aru has gone to the temple, and asks her to sit. She sits restlessly until Aru comes back. Then she says, that her father is Ramana Rao’s PA. Even then, he has a lot of respect for SKD and MP. Her father heard RAmana Rao and Rane talking. They were saying that the judgement will surely be on Rane’s side. Dr. Sarangapani na upayogisi, Judge na “sari maadkondbittiddare”. Pankaja is very worried, and says that you know CSP and MP and all, so I thought I would tell you. Then she leaves. Everybody is worried.

      Judge is sitting, working, when Dr.Sarangapani(SP) comes to meet him. Judge does not recognize him at first, then asks him to sit. He says, I was writing the judgement, I was lost in concentration.
      SP – I have been to see your wife, and have conducted some tests, and given some instructions. I plan to have the surgery on 27th, and it is very essential that you should be there.
      Judge – but that is impossible. I am going to give the judgement of the case on 27th.. can’t you operate even like that? my daughter will be there.
      SP – no. you are a VIP, i will feel comfortable if you are there. Yenadru hecchukadime aadre, we will need you to take decisions. No, no, don’t worry, nothing will happen, but I am also a human being, right. Even if my hand moves one-tenth of a mm, her kidneys might fail, paralysis might occur, etc. Thank God my fingers have not betrayed me until now, but that chance is always there. I will have much more dhairya with you on the spot.
      JUdge – but I cannot postpone the judgement date. Both the lawyers have finished their argument, and so I have come to Bangalore for 4 days to write the judgement, and so that I can be with my wife also. I have to go and give the judgement on 27th. I cannot postpone it at all, this is a criminal case, and a high-level one too. I am under pressure to finish it quickly. No way can I postpone it. Can’t you have it earlier?
      SP – no, i have lots of operations scheduled…. (checks his calendar)… can we have it on Monday?
      Judge – that would be ideal, even the case would have got over.
      SP makes a call, schedules the surgery for Monday, gets up to go. JUdge thanks him. SP stops and turns.
      SP – I have to ask you something, what is the judgement going to be?
      Judge – I cannot tell you, it is against my professional ethics.
      SP – at least tell me, i heard that the case is evenly balanced?
      Judge – hmmm yes, both lawyers argued effectively.
      SP – it looks like you don’t want to tell me.
      Judge – Yes, that is true. Please excuse me.
      SP – Its ok, I won’t feel bad. It has increased my respect for you.

      He turns to go, then stops again.

      SP – I have to tell you two things. First thing is, my uncle Ramana Rao is responsible for what I am now. If I am able to operate on your wife today, it is because of him. He is what he is because of Rane. I just have a request, please see that the judgement is in favour of Rane.
      Judge is shocked – Are you putting a condition on my wife’s surgery? Are you blackmailing me?
      SP – Chhe, Chhe, nothing like that… I am just requesting you. There is no connection between the surgery and this. Nothing will affect the surgery. It is just that I will be very grateful if you could rule in favour of Rane. And the second thing is…. no no, I cannot ask this from you.. nothing nothing… Just this one thing, I will be eternally grateful.
      Judge does not say anything. SP leaves. Judge sits on swing and is lost in thought.

1238. Continuing the topic on Naxalism, I remember reading somewhere ( probably in some kannada weekly)that some of the so-called “buddhijeevigalu” are working with the youth of backward tribes in Karnataka, specially in the hilly regions,influencing them to believing that ideologies like globalization, privatization and other such theories are all bent upon bringing doom on them. On the other hand, the same directionless youth are provided with imported arms and ammunition to kill anyone who opposes their ideas.

      Unfortunately there is no one educated individual among those tribals to contradict this view,and our famed and much respected “buddhijeevigalu” are exploiting this to their own benefit.

      I also read that they dont even have basic facilities like a transistor radio or dont know who is the CM or PM of our country.

      I feel this whole naxalism theory has failed, as such I am not sure if we have heard of some major reform or change come into the system because of any naxal outfit.

1239. Yes, I think the failure of Naxalism lies in the success of globalization. But these old fashioned “Buddi jeevigaLu” spoiling the youth, utilizing them for their “bELe bEyisikoLLakke”!!
      I hear some strange stories from my Andhra friends who are witnesses to the Naxal menace …They say that there is no difference between the Naxals now a days and the underworld dons/dacoits who also kill for money. Naxals invade a village, if someone refuses to give them food/shelter or try to inform the police, they kill that person and threaten others with the same fate. And the hazy truth, as explained by them is that the police does not dare arresting them, even though the police has clear knowablouts of naxals, they wont do anything, for the sheer fear of life or some other benefits 🙁 This is where India is going. Its a country filled with Mir Jaffars, even today. And Naxals are being utilized by the power hungry people for their basic instincts:D. So all these mean Naxalism is a failure, but still the commies are not understanding it. Our Buddhijeevigalu are still thinking old and can’t accept the failure of their “Aadarsha”!! When I say Buddhi jeevigalu, TNS is included, unfortunately. 🙁

      But apart from it, TNS is likeable for his passion for music and bringing up some poetic flavor and all other stuffs. When it comes to Naxalism and marxist thinking, let these Buddhi jeevigalu get some good Buddhi, better late than never.

1240. There is this beautiful movie in Telugu called ‘Tiladanam’. The conflict between a father and his son, between naxalism and Brahminism, the traditional and the modern and more importantly the bewitchment of the mooolah is very well picturised by Director KNT Shastry. Our very own Dattanna (HG Dattatreya) has acted in it and it is around him the story revolves.
      Made it a memorable viewing as I sat next to Mr. Shastry and Dattanna at a film festival.

1241. The Judgement Date which Judge says 27th does that mean he is talking of reel calender or real Calender. Other thing is that the way in which the Judge was lost in thoughts at the end was a fantastic expression, sitting on the uyyale .

1242. May 24 – Wednesday

      Gowri, Aru, and others are discussing about what Pankaja said. Aru says, how can the judge do this? The papers talk so much about his sense of righteousness and justice. Gowri says, does he look like he can do such a thing? I don’t think so. Anyway, everybody is worried about what will happen to MP. Ajji says, CSP does say that this is the age of the people with money, but I believe that justice still has a place in this world. It cannot be suppressed that easily. We cannot do anything, all we can do is pray to God for MP’s and SKD’s release. She says this with tears in her eyes. Everybody goes to the devaramane, they light a lamp and pray.

      Sharvani is sitting in the dark, with a candlelight, listening to “Deepavu ninnade Gaaliyu ninnade”, and she is weeping. Judge comes in, switches on the light. Sharvani says, power had gone, when it came on, this song was on the radio, it is Amma’s favourite song, that is why I was crying. Where had you gone?
      Judge – I met your mother, and had gone to the high court library for reference for the MP case.
      S – how is Amma?
      Judge – She is ok, she is a little worried because the operation got postponed by 3 days. She worries that something might happen to her.
      S – nothing will happen, right? I don’t want her to die.. I just got so much happiness, I don’t want to lose it.
      Judge – I have asked doctors, they have said nothing will happen in that time. Dr Kiran Das has given some medicines, it should be fine. I have done everything in my power. I have given her best facilities, I have taken as much loans as possible, I have consulted the best doctors. What else can I do putta, I am not God, right?
      S – I need to ask you a question. What will be the judgement on MP’s case?
      J – you cannot ask me that, it is against my professional ethics, you know that.
      S – MP and SKD are good people, we feel they couldn’t have done anything wrong. If I read the papers, it looks like MP and SKD are innocent. What do you say?
      J – we might know a person and believe tht they can’t do anything wrong. But we have to go with the facts. Whatever data is presented in court, should go directly to the brain, it should not go through the heart. With the data presented, it has to be interpreted correctly. Rane can be convicted, maybe MP can also be convicted. Can’t say.
      S – (very hopefully) Then will MP be convicted, Pappa?
      J – I can’t tell you anything, please stop this line of questioning.
      S – I am asking you all this because Amma’s life depends on your judgement.
      J – What do you mean?
      S – Dr Sarangapani had come last night with Ramana Rao. He checked Amma, and then they sat talking for a long time. Dr was saying that Ramana Rao and Rane mean a lot to him. If the judgement is against him, his fingers might not listen to him, and anything might happen during the operation.
      J (very angry) – Is that a threat? Are they blackmailing us??
      S – Yes pappa. That is why I said, Amma’s life depends on you. Is there any other doctor who can do this?
      J – there are others, but nobody with this much success rates. DR SP is the best. Hmmm that is why he kept the surgery date after the judgement date.
      S – Then can we get him arrested if he does anything in the operation?
      J – we can, but what is the use if we lose your mother
      S – Dr SP said she might become a paraplegic. Pappa, I have found happiness after three years. Hemanth made my life miserable, hit me, broke my leg, gave me a limp. I finally thought I will be happy with my parents and brother. EVen Shantanu wants to come back, he was crying when talking to amma on the phone. We can all be happy together. It is in your hands, please give the judgement in Rane’s favour. I won’t force you, but please think about it.
      She goes.
      Judge is lost in thought, very troubled.
      [Good acting by both]

1243. Bellur Ramakrishna, from your comments here, and on my blog, I get the feeling that you have been involved in a lot of interesting activities, and met lots of people. I suggest that if you like writing, etc., you also start a blog, and put up all these incidents. I am sure people will like to read it 🙂

1244. Judge and Sharvani’s acting was very good yesterday. Very emotional and touching.

      The way everybody in Gowri’s house sit and discuss about some topic, the pace at which they talk , their reactions (like for eg. yesterday they all went to devaramane and started praying) …everything looks really interesting…, which is very hard to see in current generation especially in B’lore (i mean metro cities where the life is very busy)

1245. Anita,
      I guess thats the reason why Muktha comes sooooo close to our hearts.
      The way a village house is depicted, the way a sentimental scene is pictured,
      a sequence of real life characters come un-exectedly…
      a reel life politician trying to become a laloo
      and an educationist trying to becom an R L Jalappa
      and an honest lawer trying to use his field to find an answer to many a manace caused to the common people.
      There is so much of a real-life thing in this serial the way we want to live,
      lovable and lively, so much so bonding with the parents…
      Shantanu crying over phone is a real experience for us.. try to remember your own feelings when you were away from home..!
      Sharvani wanting to save her mother is natural for a girl making a home-coming after a hard phase of life…
      Its all so natural, real and suitable. This makes Muktha likeable and dear.

      Yes, Shruti, I too get the same feeling about Bellur Ramakrishna.
      It would be nice if he shares his interesting experiences in the form of a blog with us.
      Bellur avare, think about it please.

1246. somehow, lost interest in MUKTHA’s other segments apart from the COURT SCENES. that is mainly because i can read what hapened in nanjunda’s house or what shravani and her appa spoke, from shruthi’s updates.

      i am just waiting for the Judgement, thatzit.

      btw shruthi, thanks for your suggestion. u have boosted my confidence. and yes, as u have said, I “have been involved in a lot of interesting activities, and met lots of people” and I also like writing. Close to 300 of my letters to the Editors of various national and international newspapers and magazines have been published.(not that it is anything significant).

      but more than writing, i love to read anything and everything!

      on a lighter note, want to share this MODERN GAADHE that i made:

      BLOG MAADO GUNDA ANDRE COMMENT MAADORU YESHTU ANDHANANTHE!
      (original gaadhe: yele yettho gunda andhre undoreshtu andhananthe)

1247. Srik avare,
      thanks for those nice words.
      (PS: rogi bayasiddu haalu anna, vaidya heliddu haalu anna)
      want to ask you again, can you plz tell me where you found those lines: “panjaradoLu nookabahude….”?

1248. Hmmmmm Bellur avare,
      That song was sung in Muktha sometime back. I requested for the lyrics here and I think it was Chaitnya who provided it on this blog. The poem was recited by Gowri in Muktha in front of Annapurnamma(In their last conversation ever).. You can see this in one of Shruti’s updates of the same. And poet who gave us these wonderful lines is Mr. NS Lakshminarayana Bhatta. CSP ooops TNS makes us roam in the poetic world with the inclusion of these songs and poems..

      Hmmm Im waiting for your blog, sir.

1249. Srik, you are right. I traced the post from Chaitanya on April 6th, 2006 which has the full version of the beautiful poem. thanks.

1250. Bellur,

      I share your views on the repetitive segments of Muktha… specially during the small intervals that TNS gives for the judgment, he generally tries to create some sort of anxiety in the viewers, either by making the accused try bribing the judge or bringing political influence or as in this case, he’s made the judge’s wife fall ill and requiring surgery at the crucial moment of the judgement. It was also observed during the Columbia Coppers case where Indrajit Chowdhury and SP Varnekar went to the Judge’s (if I’m not wrong it was Y N MudduKrishna) house to offer his son a job. I cant understand what TNS wants to prove by bringing this sequence each time other than stretch it a little longer.

1251. Yes Vani

      I agree with you, these unnecessary additions dilute the whole impact of the story or a social message is has to convey. People in such high positions like Judges, chief justice , police , doctors etc will be under oath while being appointed if i m not mistaken, that they would not to be influenced by anything with regard to their profession…. Person with such strong professional background(already established) like Mr Nagabhushan Gowda (Judge) cannot be influenced by these emotional /blackmail angles at all. Infact the name /fame they have earned in their professional life itself becomes their guard not to err in future too…

1252. As announced earlier, Sampada has a podcast featuring an Interview with T N Seetharam. Few questions were picked from the handful of questions we got and asked during the Interview.

      More about the podcast and link to the audio file at:
      http://sampada.net/podcasts/6

      Folks, like Sanjay had requested me earlier, I showed this blog post of Sanjay and all the comments it has got, to T N Seetharam just before the interview.

1253. Here’s the earlier announcement.

1254. Full doooooooosssssssssse episode today.
      A cheap way to extend the saga was witnessed today. I wonder why such cheap tricks of Dream are being brought in the fabulous serial like muktha.
      Wanted to give the update but why the hell I should do it when Madam Shruthi is there.

1255. May 25 – Thursday.

      Aru goes to CSP, and asks him what will be the outcome of the trial. AS usual CSP speaks very sarcastically, asks her if she has 2 rupees, and says, there is an arali mara outside, under it there is a giNi shaastradavanu, go and ask him. Then he says, you were there in the court, didn’t you hear my arguments? There is no doubt at all. MP and SKD will be freed. Aru says, but people are saying things…. CSP says, who says what? Aru says, people are saying that RAne and Chhabria Judge na sari maadiskondbittiddare. CSP says, “Baayi mucchi”… what are you saying? don’t say such things about the judge. Avaru benki. People who go near him get burnt. He will never do such a thing. If he hears you talking like this, he will not be quiet. Aru says, if someone else had said it, I wouldn’t have believed it, and then she tells him about Pankaja. CSP thinks, and says, yes her father is a very respectable person. Rane and Chhabria would definitely have tried to influence the judge, no doubt about it, but I don’t think he would have yielded. Pankaja’s father would have heard them talking about this, and would have got mistaken. You don’t worry, you go. Even if the judge has a mind to be favourable to Rane and co, it is not possible, coz the Chitra channel evidence is clinching evidence. He cannot do anything. He asks her to relax, and leave. Aru is relieved, she has tears in her eyes, she thanks CSP and turns to leave. CSP stops her and thanks her. He says, people like you give me the reason to live. You care so much about others, there is still some manushyatva in the world. Thank you.
      Aru smiles, leaves.

      Court scene. Dark images, echoing voices. Judge is giving the judgement, he finds MP and SKD guilty, and gives both of them life sentences, and 5 years imprisonment to CSP for defaming famous people and creating false evidence. All of them are handcuffed and taken out. Rane and Chhabria are smiling and congratulating each other, and Gowri’s family are sad. Indira AM and Maitreyee are in tears. Picture fades away, and there is a commerecial break.

      After the break, scene is Indira AM sitting in the devaramane in the night. Manmohan comes and asks he what happened. she said she dreamt that MP has been given a life sentence. She says she is very scared before the dreams at this time on Chaturthi, jsut before Amavasye, come true, (and some such nonsense). She had got a similar accident dream on Chaturthi before AM’s death, but had not told anybody coz she thought yaake apashakuna nuDibeku. So she is worried. Manmohan consoles her, and they pray to God.

1256. Addition to the update – Aru also tells CSP about Sarangapani’s connection, and the operation, but he doesn’t really care, he says, Judge eethara vishayakkella yield aaguvavaru alla [OF course, Aru did not explain how much dependency the Judge has on Sarangapani and all that]

      HP Nadig, thanks a lot! We were really hoping TNS would see this site 🙂

      Girish, correctu, full doseu. In fact tumba irritate aaythu. Update kodbeku antha kooda annisalilla :). Of course, this was expected if Muktha had to be stretched and extended.

1257. Dear all,

      Finally the day is here, The judgement day. Hats off to Ravi belegere for his superb acting. I think today Muktha will see virtual end even though it may continue for some time.
      Anyway this blog is great and wish we all come back again and again to discuss TNS’s next serial. THanks to all and especially Shruti for the updates.

1258. Kumar chennai: TNS will not make the next serial for some more time. His next project is to make a movie by name Mrs. Mukhyamantri (His love affair with literal ‘M’ continues.) I got to know about the thread of story on this movie and looks like it is amazing.
      Muktha Bloggers: What is happening to the get-together. Sanjay is busy with his new wife and seems like nothing is happening. Sanjay, Let me host a party for you couples and others will definitely join then.

1259. yes get together should happen at the earliest now.. 🙂 we are all waiting for Sanjay’s return from vacation, so that we all gather somewhere,

      By the way i was thinking of our good old bugalrock in Basavangudi for the venue of get together….

      Last week, when i took a walk in that lovely park, it was highly nostalgic moment, i am sure people whoever have spent their childhood in basavanagudi area and evening moments in Bugal(not sure of spelling) rock park share the same view.

1260. Usha,

      The ‘Bugle Rock’ in Basavanagudi, which was once uncared for, has now been transformed into a green park, with beautiful attractions.

      In the days of the rajas, a bugle would be sounded from a watch tower on the highest rock in a patch of wilderness now known as Basavanagudi area, to alert sepoys to brace themselves for an impending danger. Due to this practice, the place came to be called ‘Bugle Rock’, it is believed.

      But according to the poll results, 46% have opted for Malleswaram.

      Anyway, let us meet, which I think is more important than where we meet, yenantheera?

1261. Girish, it is very nice of you to offer to host the get-together, but I am sure everybody will agree with me that it will be too much of trouble for you. It is better we meet in some public place, and that way nobody will be inconvenienced.
      Bugle Rock is a good idea. Also we better make sure that there is some good restaurant nearby 🙂
      Bellur Ramakrishna, please let me know what we can call you, otherwise I will start referring to you as “BR”, like I call the Muktha characters (MP, SKD, AM) :))

1262. Thx Bellur.
      For correction as well as giving me info regarding the park, i was not aware of it. You are right about the renovation of the park, eega DVG avra vigraha yella ittidhare, avru koothkoltha idh jagadalli, interestingly all basavanagudi veterans (Hale thalegalu) serthare dina sanje, avra math kelodhe sakkath khushi koduthe… innondh favaourite spot in that area is naraharirayana guuda, i believe these two were favourite spots of Dr DVG.

      Shruthi we have a restaurant called Bugle rock view or something from Kamath’s next to the park now.
      joladha rotti and…..:)

      If lots of people have opted malleshwaram, no issues at all, meeting is important…

1263. Shruthi, you can call me RK or even Bellur. Because if you call me BR, I am reminded of Radio City, wherein before sending an SMS, you have to key BR SPACE bla bla to 7007.

      Usha, you get to see Hale thalegalu as well as Ee kaalada Teenage thalegalu at Bugle Rock. 😉 Yes, it is a treat to listen to the elders talk. Reminds you of the elders in Muktha, specially in Nanjunda’s house.

1264. And yes, Girish, thanks for the invitation. But Sumne thondare beda, let us all meet at a park, and ROCK the BUGLE ROCK!

1265. Hi all

      i came across an interesting article about tee nam shri last week in Deccan Herald ,

      Heres the link for people who have missed it.

      http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/may232006/spectrum13012006522.asp

1266. thanks usha for that link. really an article worth preserving. loved the photograph of thi.nam.shri.

1267. Hye usha, i happen to remember my childhood and the Rocky bugle rock when I took a walk around the park last week. What a coincidence!!
      Its a nice idea to meet at the greeneat park of Bangalore 🙂

1268. read this on CHURUMURI blog. good one.

      Oh, God. Atheist TNS seeks divine help for CSP.

      May 26th, 2006 by KP

      SAGGERE RAMASWAMY writes from Bangalore: T.N. Seetharam, the director of the hit television megaserial Mukta, is reported to rushed to the Kukke Subramanya temple in Sullia in Dakshina Kannada last night.

      Seetharam who left Bangalore around 9.30 pm, shortly after last night’s episode ended, is expected back in the capital by around 9 tonight.

      There was no official explanation from ETV for the flying visit, but sources say Seetharam may have made the trip to pray for a favourable judgement for Chandrashekhar Prasad (CSP) in the Pandurang Rane v Madhavi Patel case that comes up before judge Nagbhushan Gowda.

      Statutory Warning: Churumuri cannot guarantee that this joke will go down well with everybody.
      ___________________________________________________

1269. That thing was a dream?
      i only say 1 and a half scenes! they should not have made it a dream, reminds me too much of tht never ending show guptagamini.

1270. Anyone heard TNS interview on Sampada? I heard it and he did give a hint abt today’s judgement. No prizes for guessing anyway…guess Muktha will lose its attraction once today’s judgement is out…but I have a strong feeling that Gowri Vs Mahesh / Madhuvanthi may be the next case on the cards… ;-)There was an indication to that effect actually with Gowri’s amma advising her to find out about the will from the lawyer… Lets hope all the loose ends are tied quickly and without much ado.

1271. Bugal rock is also called as “Kahale Bande”
      There is Gokul’s near by and Bugal Kamath (if I am not wrong) 🙂

1272. Yes Murty,
      Its called Kamth Bugal Rock. Jolada rotti oota 😉
      BTW, I’m getting easier math puzzles now a days in this site 😀

1273. Bugle Rock should be just fine, a lovely place! I guess ppl opted for Malleswaram considering other options. Either places are fine, just we need to fix a date and meet.

      Is the judgement today? Yeah may be, today it will be full of anti-MP and SKD speech by the judge, like ‘melnotakke kandu baruttade, ivere madiddu annisuttade’ etc, so that we spend the weekend scared. And monday it will be ‘ aadare…’ and Rane & team gets punished 🙂 Lets see if my guess holds good!

1274. Chaitanya,

1280. Hey Sanjay….
      Welcome Back !

1281. May 26 – Friday

      Sheela Prasad comes to talk to CSP. She tells him that she ran into Rane, who told her to tell her husband that he has no chance now, he will lose the case, coz avaru judge na sarimadkonDbiTTiddare. CSP laughs it off, says that Rane must have just been lying. SP says that no, he couldn’t have been lying. I could make out how confident he was. He said that through Sarangapani, the doctor who has to operate on judge’s wife, they have made some arrangement. CSP says, even then, so what, clinching evidence is there, the video. SP says, what is wrong with you? Don’t you know that video evidence and photographic evidence is not taken by court nowadays as legal? There are too many ways to change it. It will not be accepted. Only circumstantial evidence will remain, and that, as you know, can be interpreted in any way. Then she requests him, please do one thing for me. If this case is lost, and if Rane becomes the CM, then our lives are gone. He will not leave you alone. He might even take out the anger on our children. I have a request, please go right now and apologize to Rane. AFter the judgement, you will not be able to catch hold of him. You have defamed him enough, at least if you go and ask for forgiveness, he might not harm you. CSP refuses, says taht he will never do such a thing. Truth will come out ultimately. After the case, he will leave the city, saying that he and his wife do not get along well. Then Rane cannot even take out his anger on his children, because there will be no connection. So please don’t force me, I will never do that. SP has tears in her eyes. She says, you will not listen to me. Alright, but just so you know – if something happens to you, nange sankaTa aagatthe. She leaves.

      Court – Judge delivering judgement.

      He says, the court has heard both sides of the argument. The prosecution case is that MP, SKD and Sadanand Patel had their own reasons to hate AM, so they all got together to murder AM, and at the jaathre, they carried out their plan… etc. The defence lawyer took the stand that the murder was committed by Rane and Chhabria for their own gain, and the blame was put upon MP. So since Rane and Chhabria committed the crime, MP could not have done so. The defence lawyer also put forth video evidence from Chitra channel, saying that it is clinching evidence. Even before, in history, there have been cases of evidence in the custody of court being tampered with. Evidence has been stolen, manipulated, etc, even when in the custody of court. Also, the people in charge tell me that CSP had taken the originals for 2 days to get it copied. So he would have had a chance to tamper with it. I am not saying that he has, but I am saying that he could have. So, unless it is verified that the tape hasn’t been tampered with, I cannot go further. I am sending the tapes to be tested, until then, judgement is deferred.

1282. Girish, Sanjay’s Marriage will be in trouble if you say “Muktha Bloggers: What is happening to the get-together. Sanjay is busy with his new wife ” .

      Sanjay I shall try all my best to make it to the get together for me Jun 3rd is preferable so that i can board 4th Bus or train back to hyd.

1283. hi sanjay,
      welcome to the people of santa victoria!:)

1284. I hope they dont drag the judgement anymore.

      I was concerned if they bring in new twist to the story where Rane actually does tampering of the tapes and blames that they were tampered by CSP (actually is succesful doing it so using some witnesses as he has done earlier in the case).

      Thumba boring agbiduthe……

1285. Ponder over this:

      If we, having dinner in a cozy room and watching a court scene for a few minutes a week can get so irritated the way it is getting dragged and pulled, imagine the restlessness of those people whose REAL cases are going on for years and years with no solution in sight!
      In a way, TNS is showing REALLY how a case gets dragged and dragged for years.

1286. abbabbaaaaaaaaaa,
      Justice Nagabhushan gowda speaking for 30 minutes and still people clinging to the same channel. I wonder why TNS is trying something against the basics of serial.
      Or is it an indication that TV can host preaching sessions by religious leaders/politicians/teachers?
      Somehow, muktha is throwing up a lot of stuff to question. Is the judge required to narrate what happened during ‘Vaada vivada’?
      Should he show sensationalism while expressing the decision.
      Should creativity be tested before a person is selected as a judge?
      We can agree that TNS is making a drama out of muktha which got attension as it was more closer to reality in the earlier stages.
      I think this is the problem if you try to make a business case when the need is to make a post-mortem of a lost deal.
      People who sent SMS to continue muktha might be cribbing about their deed.
      let muktha close ASAP. but muktha bloggers long live….

1287. Just to have the feeling of a real judgements please visit the site: http://www.cbi.nic.in/ and go the “judgements” setions. Most of the judgements given are in brief but for the case of Rajiv Gandhi’s murder where 3 separate judgements are given. You should really have the patience to go through them and also a good legal dictionary to understand the terms and phrases quoted in Latin.

      Personally, I had the experience of attending the court proceedings. I was one of the eye witness for an accident case which later turned out be a case of theft also (the person who met with the accident had stolen some silver articles from his brother’s house). Even for “simple” case like this one, there were more than 30 adjournments; some sought by the prosecution and some by the defence. There were times when the hearing was adjourned becasuse of lack of staff in the court.

      When the judgement is read out everyone in the court, except for the judge himself, is expected to stand up and listen to him. Generally judgements have the details like no & type of charges framed against the accused, FIR, hard evidence produced in the court, circumstancial evidences if any, different reports from the govt. agencies like forensic, medical etc., and argument & counter arguments.

1288. Monday – May 29th

      Judgement continues. Judge recounts the evidences –

      1) Reads out something from a psychologist’s book, and says that anger can manifest itself into rage, anytime after any number of years, so it is quite possible that MP acted with the motive of anger.

      2) The motives that the prosecution has attributed to the accused, are valid, and can be considered strong.

      3) Mp went and hid after the accident, this according to (a case which he reads out).. strongly suggests the guilt of the person.

      4) CSP said Devraj was a supari killer. It is very suspicious why a good police officer like MP did not check his credentials and background before hiring him. It points to the fact that she might have hired him for this purpose itself.

      5) MP did not get reserve police force on that day. It is suspicious. She said that Insp Ranganath misled her, but it is not believable.

      All these, and more evidences, show that it is very possible that the accused have committed the murder, and the prosecution has successfully established the case.

      Rane and SS and Chhabria are smiling happily.

      The judge continues. – BUT. Let us take the other side argument.

      1) If sadananda patel wanted to kill AM, and if he distributed pamphlets, then why did he put his name on it? It is quite stupid. So it points to the fact that it wsn’t sadananda patel at all who did this.

      2) Driver Brahmachar, testifying so late is suspicious. Was his aatmasaakshi sleeping all the while? So due to this and some more reasons, Brahmachar’s testimony cannot be accepted by the court.

      3) Coming to the galabhe on the day of the jaathre, CSP has successfully proved that Gundumani and Bandigaara are Rane’s shishyas. Also, the vehicles, and the people were brought in by them, and paid for by Divine Drops company. (The pamphlets too). So it is khachita that SP and SKD did not create the galaaTe.

1289. You might observe that the update is very brief and vague. After ten minutes, we lost the cable connection, and I had to call my grandparents in Mysore, ask them to hold the phone to the TV, and I listened to the rest of the serial :)) And it wasn’t too clear. The cable connection did not come back at 11 also, and is not there in the morning. We heard that there is some problem, and might not get cable transmission today also. One of you might have to give the update for tonight’s episode.

1290. Good work Shruti.
      I appreciate all the pains you took to give us posted on what happened in a day’s proceeding in our fav. serial.

      Somehow missed it yesterday and after reading the updates now, i gt updated myself on what happened yesterday.

1291. Continuing from Shruthi’s update, Judge then says the motive was stronger for Rane and Chabriya to kill AM and not MP and SKD. When SKD and AM were Home ministers, they have opposed all the proposals put forward by Chabriya’s companies, but as soon as AM died and SKD was accused in the case, Rane took over and passed the first of Chabriya’s many proposals in a hurried cabinet meeting. This is quite suspicious, and also proves that Chabriya was to gain by Rane being CM.

      The Spanner that Brahmachar showed SM which he said he used to remove the brake fluid was not suitable to be used in MP’s car, this was proven by CSP. And the timing of his confession is also very suspicious, just when SKD refused to go to South Africa, this person came to CBI and confessed. Also his saying that SKD gave him 20,000 + jumki is all false, this has been proven by CSP. His testifying like this is very dangerous and he cannot be trusted at all.

      Also, Prosecution said that MP went to Gundumani and Shivakumar on November 19 to give them 1 Lakh, this statement was recorded under Sec 162 by Shivraj Hegde, but it is proven beyond doubt by CSP that she was seated right next to Shivraj Hegde in the meeting convened by the Election Commissioner.

      Taking into account all of this, court has come to a conclusion that Rane and Chabirya’s motives are stronger to kill AM and not MP and SKD.

      ———————————————————-

      I think I have covered most of what Shruthi has missed watching 🙂

      Acc to Deccan Herald today, all the areas covered by Siti Cable are off air.Looks like the cable guys are at war again.

1292. Thanks a lot, Vani. If I cannot watch Muktha tonight, I will leave a comment here saying so. Can you please give the update, in that case?

1293. Thank you Shruthi and Vani for the updates. Saw bits and pieces due to cable problems. Remembered vintage DD days when they used to put ‘ADACHANEGAAGI KSHAMISI’….but this was Cable problem & not E-TV’s….

      Thanks also to Roopadarshi for the link. Out of curiosity, I copy pasted the judgement of both Purulia Arms Dropping Case and Rajiv Gandhi assassination case to Word doc(Times New Roman, 12 pt). They took up 141 and 323 pages respectively. Imagine reading so many pages in a court. Really wonder how law students/lawyers read such long winded judgements so boringly written using latin terms. And the Section numbers are so many that you really get confused!

1294. Sure Shruthi, just let me know and I’ll do it.

1295. Hi
      AHAHAHAHA! Yyou asked your grandparent to hold the phone to the tv…. that’s hilarious. But very generous of you Shruthi Akka. 😛 well, tell me abt the location and time of ur get together (when you’ve decided) and ill tell my cousin/s

      😛 bye and keep :

1296. Ponder over this:
      hey,,

      If we, having dinner in a cozy room and watching a court scene for a few minutes a week can get so irritated the way it is getting dragged and pulled, imagine the restlessness of those people whose REAL cases are going on for years and years with no solution in sight!
      In a way, TNS is showing REALLY how a case gets dragged and dragged for years.

      I agree with this so much and this is what my dad always says to my mum when she gets agitated over the neverending court scenes, so yes, i totally agree with this.

1297. We were having dinner last night between 9.00 and 9.30 PM, and my chikkamma was very tense yesterday during the beginning portion of Muktha, becos judge was putting forward prosecution’s arguements and that nothing prevented the court to take a stand to prosecute MP and SKD. She started scolding the judge, the judiciary, the parliament, CSP for not arguing properly and just about everyone in her way. It just goes one more step to show how much TNS has influenced the masses, and also when we relax and watch the court scene, we start grumbling about the length, how much pains the judge might be taking in order to arrive at a fair judgement, and his job is so full of responsibility.. he just cannot convict anyone off hand,he has to give everyone a fair trial… Guess TNS is trying to make the masses look at the system in a new and more generous light.

1298. Vani, you may be correct. But still I feel that TNS just wants to prolong the COURT SCENES till the end of the serial, i.e. till July end because Muktha is still RUNNING due to Court Scenes. If N.Gowda gives judgement then thousands are going to stop watching MUKTHA. As simple as that.

1299. I was chatting with my brother-in-law, who is a lawer, over the judgement of some case which hit the headlines sometimes back.
      I asked him why the judgements took so long to complete, does it happen only in India?
      For which he narrated a story :
      There was a father who was a lawer, gives all the sophestication to his son, admits him to the best schools and colleges of the city, and sends him abroad for higher studies and gives him whatever he wants.
      The son, a bright youngster, comes out of the college and gets a law degree with flying distinction and wishes to practice with his father.
      His father, most accomadating for the son, asks him to take up one of the cases handled by him.
      The enthusiastic youngster takes up the case to his head and comes to be successful in it.
      He rushes to his father with a copy of the judgement and expects a shower of praise from his beloved father.
      But the father criticises him and says : “YOU FOOL…THIS IS WHY I SENT U TO ABROAD TO STUDY? IS THIS WHAT YOU LEARNT THERE?”
      Son is disappointed and asks him “Did I do any wrong?”
      Father shouts back : “If not for that case, how else do you think I could send you to foreign to study? And you say that the case is finished?!!”

      This is the face of real lawers and this is how our judiciary works.
      Its a story very popular among the lawers, narrated by a modern day lawer, so had to believe it.
      May be this is what TNS implying in Muktha too.

1300. Shruthi,
      Due to a technical problem, one of my comments answering your question was not seen till today. request you to please read comment no. 1283. Bye from RK.

1301. Oh, thanks RK 🙂 I am laughing so much at that “BR” – Radio city comment :))))

1302. BREAKING NEWS!!
      MP and SKD freed, Rane, Chhabria and co arrested. 🙂 🙂
      Details in the morning!
      [I could watch the episode completely]

1303. now that the judgement is out, can sleep peacefully knowing that good triumphed over the bad.. hehe..
      was not able to follow this muktha update regularly because of obvious reasons (profession: software cooli). Right in time to hear the judgement.

      aargh.. there is a very big bug in this arithmetic test for posting comments..

1304. OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
      THEY ARE FREEE I AM SO HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYY :p:p:p:p
      THAT IS SUCH GOOD NEWS, MADHAVI PATEL LOOKED SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!
      WELL I BETTTER GHO, IM AT SCHOOL\

      KEEP SMILING :p:p YAY

1305. That was a great newz 😀 Hip Hip Hurrayyyyyyyyyyyy… I wish I was there to witness this episode 🙁 ;I’m waiting for Shruthi’s updates, my eyes are wide open 😀

1306. I am extremely sorry… cannot give the update today — neck-deep in work… gotta rush now. Just came to request Vani, or anybody else to give the update!
      Thanks!

1307. I am a software engineer working at IBM, Bangalore. Missing MUKTHA as I dont have TV at my room and I am not with my parents here. Thanks a lot to Shruti and Vani for providing the proceedings of MUKTHA for those who cannt watch TV. This is my favourite serial and the best serial in modern days where most other serials are attracting more villages (ladies) than educated people.
      This is one serial which makes you emotional and at the same time, make you to think a lot in rationalistic ways. Nowadays, rational thinking is one that is needed in every walk of life – right from fighting against castes to achieve success in every area of life. This is the one missing in most serials. But T N Seetharam is able to bring it to the front in this serial.

      Thanks a lot to TN Seetharam….
      thanks a lot for one and all in this group…

1308. I am missing the proceedings of yesterday’s (Judgement Day’s) episode. I know even others are waiting for the same.
      Vani, Please give us the proceedings for that day. Even shruti is very busy with work today.
      Thanks in Advance…..

1309. Hello Shruthi,

      No problem, will do it. Everyone, pls give me some time and I’ll do it.

      Thanks
      Vani

1310. Extremely happy that TRUTH HAS PREVAILED. Could see the relieved look on CSP, MP and SKD.
      On this joyous occasion, I thought of starting a blog (as some of you had suggested). So here I am. Inviting all of you to visit the newly built home. Completed the BLOG-PRAVESHA a few minutes ago.
      address: http://ramblingwithbellur.blogspot.com/

1311. Judge continues.

      1.Coming to a very important issue, CSP has very surprisingly missed out a very important aspect of the shooting. The Entry and Exit wounds of AM show that the crime has been committed by a very sophisticated imported firearm and not by a service Revolver, in this case, MP’s. Also, by looking at the entry and exit wounds, one can clearly make out that the shot was fired from at least 50 meters and not point-blank range as Prosecution says. This must have been done by some one close to Chabriya’s guest house. Hence we cannot accept that MP has shot AM.

      2.If MP wanted to kill AM, she would have just taken off the brake fluid and jumped from the car at the nth minute. She would not have taken the trouble to shoot AM. A clever Police Officer like her will not take such foolish steps and risk getting caught. Again this clearly indicates that someone else was trying to implicate both of them.

      3.Coming to the matter of the Road-Block, Prosecution said that the road block had been placed by MP. During the cross-examination of MLA Krishnakanth, the MLA said Road block was placed to initiate road repairs. CSP has shown several Govt Records to indicate that the road had been repaired in the recent past and there was no need for any road block at that place. Krishnakanth being a Shishya of Rane had placed the roadblock purposely to mislead the car and take it to the cliff side.

      4.Rane, in spite of not knowing Supari Killer Devraj put him into MP’s service. Why did he pretend to know Devraj? There must have been some ulterior motive in Devraj being put as MP’s driver. This act is extremely suspicious. Also Chabriya had a very sophisticated security system installed in his guest house. He had given the electronic key as well as the key to the guesthouse to Devraj. What was the necessity for this? CSP has proven that Devraj has called up Chabriya from the guesthouse, Chabriya has himself called up Gangaswami who is a mafia person on 24th November. Again on 4th December, before SKD’s South Africa trip and also during the time of attempt on CSP’s life. All this proves beyond doubt that Chabriya was involved in the plot.

      5.Why did Inspector Ranganath open a case diary of AM’s murder a day before the actual occurance of the crime? It means that he was perfectly aware that the crime is going to take place on 24th November.

      6.Coming to the jaathre, CSP has proven that it was a private jaathre and there was no vajrada kavacha in reality.

      7.Coming to the Post Mortem of AM’s body, when there was a well-equipped hospital in Suukoppa itself, why was the body taken to Hemagiri? The doctor performing the Post Mortem, Dr Somnath Patel is very close to Rane and hence wrote a Post Mortem report which hid many facts of the case, for example, the time of death recorded by the doctor is 1.45 PM, whereas considering Rigor Mortis and lactic acid concentration certificate,watch stopping at 3.00 PM, we can conclude that time of death is around 3.00 PM. He has hidden similar facts during the Post Mortem of UG also.

      Considering all of the above points, court has come to the conclusion that MP and SKD were falsely implicated in this crime and they are released honorably. (At this MP was smiling very broadly, but SKD was the vision of calmness)

      Further, court has clearly seen the involvement of Rane, Chabriya, Inspector Ranganath, Drivers Devraj and Brahmachar, MLA Krishnakanth, Chandrakanth Pavate and others in this crime, but it is not in this court’s jurisdiction to try them. Court orders a trial into this. Judge also says they are liable to be given life sentences for this.

      Court Orders that UG’s case be reopened again under DYSP Devanand.

      Court also orders that Rane, Chabriya and all others must be taken to custody because they have falsely implicated responsible officers and citizens in this crime, so they are liable to be punished with life sentence for this crime alone.

      Judge says before closing, I would like to comment on one more issue, albeit a very personal one. There was lot of pressure on me before this judgment, what the pressure was and who was responsible is all immaterial at this stage because it is extremely personal. This sort of thing is very cheap and reflects very poorly on our society. I have taken a huge risk and placed my wife’s life in danger while passing this judgment. I will talk to our Chief Justice about this if necessary.

      With this, he stands up and everyone does namaskaara and he walks away. SS congratulates CSP; Ramana Rao goes to Rane and offers Condolences; Thaatha and Aru garland SKD and MP, MP and IA hug each other crying, everyone else is all smiles. Rane looks Daggers at CSP.

      DYSP Devanand goes very politely to Rane and Chabriya and arrests them. Everyone comes out of the court hall shouting slogans in MP and SKD’s name.
      _____________________________________________

      Hope I’ve covered all the important aspects. Anyone finds anything missing, please add.

1312. Wonderful update, Vani! Hats off 🙂

      Btw, Rane was crying yday! And Chhabria seemed to have become paralyzed! 🙂

1313. Thanks Shruthi, just took your lead and remembered to put everything.

1319. WOW thanks vani for the really neat update – amazingly detailed!

      Yesterday after long time I finally managed to watch one episode of Muktha properly… one more thing is that as SKD and MP walk out they’re garlanded by a lot of people.

      Btw met SKD again on 29th evening in my friend’s marriage. Turns out that he’s my friend’s cousin brother! A kid was thrilled to see him here and he was kidding – yeah I’ve come out of jail but at 9 PM I’m going to go back in, you can see me in TV!

      Shruthi, hats off to your level of commitment (TV/phone interface) – you prove that there’s usually always a solution when one is truly committed!

1320. Hmmmmm Sanjay,
      welcome back.
      Thats a nice story of SKD going back to jail at 9PM in TV 😀
      I guess, I remember, some time back when we discussed about the Muktha characters, someone noted that SKD and TNS are real life brothers. So.. it must be true that TNS also is ur friend’s cousin brother!!! Hmmmm i may be wrong also.

1321. I dint know TNS and SKD are brothers! Ondu chooru resemble maadalla obbarannobbaru.

      As Prasanna said, maybe Annapurnamma’s case will be the finale (Imagine if they discover that Annapurnamma’s was not a natural death!) Muktha yaavaga mukthayavaguvudo? 😉
      Naavella aaga “Yendu aadevu naavu Muktha Muktha Muktha” antha haadthiveno. 🙂

1322. I am working in USA and reading your update on Murtha every day. Really I felt that I was watching the serial itself. Thanks to all of you for your nice update.

1323. I hope they don’t bring Annapurnamma’s issue to the court. Bored of court scenes.

1324. KA-05 auto in sunnadakoppa!
      Aru came down to her house from court in this auto. TNS cannot bother about such things as even he is bored of muktha I think!

1325. There has been a change in my job profile, and due to various reasons, I might not be able to give updates regularly. Vani, can you please take over? If there is any change in situation, I will let you know. Thank you.

1326. Sure, Shruthi, no problem. I can take over from you.
      Will add a comment on this page any time I am too busy to do it and then someone else can fill in.

1327. Aru jothe ge yavagalu kannuneeru suriyo

1328. Muktha Update

      May 31, 2006

      Gowri and Ajji are standing outside their house, waiting for Aru and Purushottam. Ajji asks Gowri to call up Aru and get the information, Gowri says I am not able to reach her. Ajji in a moment of anxiety says why don’t you try CSP’s number, Gowri replies in the negative, says CSP namma maneyavarannu kandre ondu tharaa mathadthare, tumba baithare, naanu avarige phone maadalla. In the midst of this discussion, an auto comes to a stop in front of them and Aru alights.

      Ajji and Gowri anxiously asked Aru the judgment, Aru replies with a very gloomy face, yengabekitto ade aythu, MP mathu SKD na Nirapraradhi antha bidugade madidru. Ajji wants to know if those “munde gandaru” were punished, Aru replies in the affirmative, but also adds that along with the happiness that the judgement is on our side, I am also sad for the judge’s wife. It seems what Pankaja informed us is true, that Rane and Co judge na sarimadikondiru, Judge ee vishaya judgement pass madovaga helidru. I am worried about Judge’s wife. The three became little gloomy after that.

      Further conversation between Judge (J) and daughter (D) as below:

      Judge returns home to see his daughter crying and packing her bags.
      J: He asks her yaake putta yellige horte?
      D: I am going to meet amma in the hospital.
      J: City ge naanu neenu ibbaru beligge hogodittlava? Yaake eegale hortubitte? Why are u crying?
      D: Iga hortu ammana jothe naale madhyanada varegu iddu I’ll go back to Calcutta
      J: But you said I won’t return to Calcutta
      D: You have forced me to do it. I can’t stay here and watch that doctor kill amma on the operation table. I’d rather go back to that hell.
      J: I don’t understand; what did I do?
      D: Nimage swalpa nu manushyatwa illa; aa thara judgement kottu neevu namage shikshe kottiddira… ammange marana dandane, nange alli aa narakadntha manege vaapas hogo jeevavadhi shikshe.
      J: Naanu aathara judgment kodle bekagithu, they were not guilty.
      D:Nimage nimma nyaya ne doddaddaythu. U don’t have a little bit of humanity in you. You are ready to sacrifice my mom’s life. I don’t want to stay with you. Please bring an auto.
      J: Aythu. Auto taristini.

      (Ravi Belagere was at his sublime best; did not show any anxiety or any sort of over acting or anger when his daughter was venting her anger. Reminded me of the many many times I have screamed at my dad, and he’s listened with immense patience without raising his voice or getting angry. )

      By this time, a PC comes inside and tells that Dr Kiran Das and Dr Hiremath from the hospital are here to see you. Judge tells his daughter to listen to what the doctors have said and then leave.

      Dr Kiran Das and Dr Hiremath are seated. Jude introduces his daughter to them; Drs say that we have come here to discuss an important issue about your wife’s surgery. We feel that she may not require surgery. Daughter is surprised and asks why so? Dr Kiran Das then elaborates that there are two kinds of cysts that can occur in the brain stem, one which can manifest itself into a tumor, the other which is caused by worms. Your wife has the latter sort of cyst. Judge wanted to know how they came to this conclusion. Drs say initially both cysts show the same symptoms, but only the second sort of cyst responds to medication. We had been secretly giving her medicine to treat this, and she has responded to the medication. From the MRI we could make out that the cyst has come down by nearly 50%. This occurs only if the problem is Cysticercosis, that is the problem your wife has. Judge asks why dint the hospital inform us earlier? Doctors say for obvious reasons the hospital administration did not allow us to continue this line of treatment. Dr KD said Please discharge your wife immediately from there, I will keep her in my hospital for a couple of days and then you can bring her home.

      At this judge gets up and goes inside, daughter says I am very grateful to both of you. I don’t have anything to give you, nimage namaskaara madthini, pls don’t say no. She bends and they bless her. Judge come back with two envelopes, and hands over one each to both of the Drs, they say idenu? He says right now I can only give you this much, I don’t have anything more, aamele kodthini. Dr Kiran Das says naavenu maadilla; sumne neevu ishtu kodthiddira. Judge presses them to accept. Dr Kiran Das says nimma tale mele chappadi kallu yelkothini andre sari, togotheevi.

      Both of them get ready to go. Judge asks them to have dinner along with him and his daughter, and asks her to get ready. Both of them go in. Daughter apologizes to her pappa and asks him did you know this before? He says yes, Dr Kiran Das had informed me 3 days ago. It was with this assurance only that I passed the judgement. At this, she asks what if he had informed that surgery was an absolute necessity? He replies probably I was ready to lose your mother, I was not going to change the judgment at any cost. I’d have still passed the same judgment. But no need of that now. Both father and daughter share a happy moment at that.

1329. Hello people,

      1. Sorry for the late update.
      2. Let me know if you people felt bored reading reams of dialogue, I will try to paraphrase and be concise. (I am not able to shake off my previous experience of transcription of movie dialogs coming into play here)
      3. Any other comments welcome.

1330. Thanks Vani for the nice and detailed update.
      By the way, who is the actress playing ‘Sharvani’?, she looks pretty!!!

1331. KA-05 auto in sunnadakoppa!

      This is not a thing to point & no issues with it!!! As you can see a lot TN,OR,JK,AP,KL,MP,MH,JH,WB,GA etc.. in Bangalore.

      So KA o5 has just moved to sudakoppa from Bengaluru 🙂

1332. Vani your updates are as good as watching the serial.

      Thanks for the great updates.

      I dont understand why the Judge’s daughter behaves like that!

      and what does this sentence imply?

      “Dr Kiran Das says nimma tale mele chappadi kallu yelkothini andre sari, togotheevi.”

1333. Hi Guru,

      Thanks for your kind words about the update.

      The only way I can justify the behavior of the judge’s daughter is that she’s gone through lot of bad times, and at present,her mother’s recovery was foremost in her list of priorities. That’s why in one of the earlier episodes also she had asked her father to pass judgment in favor of Rane and Co, becos she had been threatened in the hospital by Dr Sarangapani that unless the judgement went in Rane’s favor, he would not guarantee the sucess of the surgery. All this acted on her already depressed mind, and so she felt she had been wronged by her father passing the judgement in MP and SKD’s favor.

      Now regarding your other query,

      Actually Dr Kiran Das is a softie at heart with a rough exterior. Judge had paid both of them Rs 20,000 each. Earlier many times in the serial, the judge keeps saying that he cannot afford very costly treatments and hefty doctor fees. By saying ” nimma tale mele chappadi kallu yelkothini andre sari, togotheevi” doctor was implying why do you want to add to your already existing burden, we dont want such hefty fees, yet if you insist so much, we’ll accept.
      Hope it’s clear now.

1334. Vani, great update! Transcription of movie dialogs? We have a lot of interesting people here 🙂

1335. Shruthi,

      Thanks, there is a BPO in Bangalore who are into subtitling.(Probably the only company in India to do this) I did a short stint there before I moved on.

1336. Hi Avinash,

      That’s Jayashree Raj, she’s one of the permanent fixtures on TNS Serials, played Maya in Manvanthara and Sharada in Mayamruga.

1337. BTW did you guys observe that the Parachute AD in between Muktha ??? The lang what they speak in AD is Telagu ! Can we tolrate this ? This has happened many times with ETV

1338. yes, saw the parachute ad. really sad that no kannada channel is owned by a kannadiga.

1339. Oh.. actually , i was thinking they intentionally speak a different language in Parachute AD. Because at the end of the AD they speak in kannada language . (In the AD the girl also says NRI boy or something link that)

      If it is not so i.e if a Telgu ad is forced in a kannada channel, then we definitely have to protest this. (Does ETV has an e-mail ID where we could voice our opinion)

1340. Each and every episode in Muktha is done with great interest . The conversation between SM & MP was very interesting to watch…Similarly , the conversations between Judge and his daughter … What I like the most in Muktha , is the way human relationships & emotions are shown…

1341. Muktha Update

      June 02, 2006

      1. Mallikajun Swamy’s house, Aru and Gowri chopping vegetables and thaata and ajji chatting. thaata wants to know why sweets are being prepared at home, ajji says we have searched for a bride for you, “Ailu Savithri” and the girl’s people are coming today for talks, tata retaliates that she’s much better than you. An argument follows and ajji and tata end up fighting. Aru informs tata that we are celebrating the release of MP. Ajji tells Aru that your friend is a big liar, she came and said MP would be jailed, Aru says no, Pankaja was truthful, Rane and Co nijavaagalu judge na sarimaadkondidru, Dr Saarangapani had threatened that in case judgement went against Rane, chances were that she would die on the operation table, but Dr Kiran Das found out there was nothing wrong with her and she’s much better now. At this, Ajji says, everyone calls Dr Kiran Das Ailu, but how capable he is! Thaatha says, yes, Dr Kiran Das, CSP, myself all are little “Ailu” but we are very “buddhivantaru” At this everyone laughs heartily.

      2. SM goes to MP’s house. MP is makes very sarcastic remarks to her, she asks her why did you come here? You were sure that I will be trounced and you will be victorious, but here I am standing tall in front of you; you hated me from the very beginning, you were waiting for an opportunity to put me down and so you came as IO to this case, but see I have emerged victorious. At this SM stops her and says I came to say Sorry to you, but your attitude has forced me to reveal the truth, go find out from CSP who was responsible for your release. If CSP had cross-examined me, then I’d have blown away the defense to pieces, and injustice and evil would have triumphed. I agree that I came here with a bias against you, but as I went about with the investigation I realized you were falsely implicated and that you were innocent, and I waited eagerly for your release. But sorry to say your attitude is shocking, you have always been blunt, it is of course human to make errors in judging a person, and because of this I came to say sorry to you, I cannot make up for the lost time that you have spent in jail, I cannot in any way repair the humiliation you have undergone, I can only plead heartfelt forgiveness. I pray that we never meet again. And she walks away leaving a stupefied MP behind.

      3. CM goes to meet SKD and is surrounded by Press outside SKD’s house. Press bombard him with questions about Rane’s involvement in the murder, about the Govt’s inefficiency in framing a false case, CSP filing a writ against allotment of satellite town construction to Chabriya etc. CM is noncommittal. SKD welcomes CM. CM congratulates SKD but SKD is cynical. CM asks why this attitude towards me? I am your well-wisher and have lot of regard and affection towards you, that’s why I encouraged you and made you our Party President. SKD says maybe you had regard for me, but you had real affection only towards Rane, you knew that major percentage of votes in the surrounding two districts belonged to my community and so you gave me that post. If you had real affection towards me, you wouldn’t have kept mum when allegations were being made against me, you did not even try to meet me once when I was undergoing all that difficulty. CM says something about Party Image being tarnished had he attempted to do such a thing. SKD is not convinced by CM’s argument. CM remarks that SKD has become very bitter and he will meet him after sometime.

1342. I wont be able to do the update on today’s episode, request someone else to take over today’s episode.
      Thanks
      Vani

1343. Hey everyone,
      Here is yesterday’s update,I dont know if i did a good job and wasn’t sure of some parts so feel free to correct me.

      Scene One:
      —————

      CM comes in with two people and talks to SKD.
      They ask him to be the party leader again, SKD refuses and says he does not want to because such people like Ramand rao and Munniappa don’t support him and they are followers of Rane. CM insists that just because they do not follow, does not mean that others will not. There are so many people that would prefer you to Ramand Rao, so why not stand for the post? So many people will support you. SKD asks, give me two days to think about it, CM replies, two days is too long, the nomination itself is 3 days away, there is a meeting tomorrow, why not attend? Then he gets up and says we’ll leave now. SKD stops him and says, can I talk to you in private for a few minutes? CM sends the other two people out and says, ok, what is it you want to discuss? SKD says, you act as though you want me to be mukhya mantri but inside you are for Rane is it not. CM asks him why he asks such a question. SKD replies, I have received information that you spoke to Rane in the middle of the night. CM laughs and says, even though you have resigned for 6 months, you still get your intelligence reports promptly! CM tells him that (not sure of this part) he needs some things of Rane and some things of him. He tells him, come to the meeting tomorrow, and we’ll discuss and take decisions then.

      Scene Two:
      —————

      Madhavi Patel is reading in her room, a man comes in to tell her that someone has arrived.
      MP: Aithu, bande
      She goes downstairs. There is a man sitting on the couch
      MP: Yes?
      The man turns around It is Prabhanjan Misra.
      PM: Hello

      PM: Nenne bande. Congrats, case geddidakke matte bidugade agiddake
      MP: Thanks

      He takes some flowers off the table that he had brought and hands them to her.
      PM: Ivu, ninge. Tumba santosha aithu, neen bidugade agidiya anta keli.
      Madhavi Patel laughs
      PM: Yaake? Yaak, hag nakkidu?
      MP: Nimm nataka nodi yaarig taane nagu barilla heli?
      PM: Natakanaa? Ninnag congrats helona anta bandre, ninnag adu natakada hange kaansotta?
      MP: Nataka alde inn enu Prabhanjan? 4 tingalu naan jail nalli idde. Nannag yesht kashta aithu gotha? Neev nann gandanaai, ondu dina kelilla, naanu badikidinna sattidinna.

Nann kashta sukha gallali baagi aagtini anta helidouru, avatt yelli hogidri? Hogli, ondu phone call sudda maadlilla neevu?

      Scene Three:
      —————–

      MP: Nataka alde enu Prabhanjan?
      PM: Neen yaavaglu heege. Neen hellide sari, bereour helidde tappu. Kashta sukha nalli baagiaagtini anta helide. Adre neenu? Ondu sala, yaavataadru kelidiya?

1356. Hey Girish,
      Good job. Congratulations for winning the contest.

      I was among the few who had a good time on Sanjay’s birthday. We all met and it was very good. TNS seems to be pretty down to earth and hugely experienced. When talking to him, we felt as if time was running out very fast. He came there with a lot of enthusiasm, waited for us for about 5-10 mins(!) and spoke to us as if we knew each other for a long time.. Thanks Sanjay and Girish for that wonderful day. Thanks RK Shruti, Chaitanya, Usha and Sanjay’s mom for making it more memorable.

      Hey Bellur, is that your name in that Churmuri’s page its written there BSRamakrishna ? just curious to know before congratulating u, Sir. 😉

      visiting http://ramblingwithbellur.blogspot.com/

1362. Amrutha, No worry. I have already typed the update and will upload it in a moment.

1363. Muktha Update

      05. 06.06

      1. Ramana Rao goes to meet Rane in Jail. He offers sympathy to Rane and says it hurts me immensely to see you like this. Rane consoles him and says what to do? I had told Chabria not to use Supari Killers,let us finish the job with locals, but he did not listen. He called Gangaswami and made a mess of things.
      Ramana Rao asks how CSP dug out so many facts about this case. Rane replies there is a person by name Major Govindan who runs a Private Detective agency. He supplied all the information. Had I known earlier, avaranne sarimadkonbidthidde. Now about the election, I had called CM here and told him that he should not press charges against me, because I am financing this election for him. He cannot take any action against me. Ramana Rao says what is we lose election? Rane says to ensure that we win, make SKD the Party President (PP). Because of him, definitely we will win. After that, you become CM or I will become CM if I am out of jail. We can give SKD some “kelasakke baarada khaate” and be rid of him. When you make him the PP, ensure that he gives ticket to 70 followers of mine, here is the list. And he hands over a list to Ramana Rao. Also ensure that he will not withdraw the sanction given by me to Chabria’s projects. Ramana Rao asks him what shall we do if he does not agree? Rane says leave that to me. Did you meet the High Court Judge in front of whom my cases will be heard? Ramana Rao replies, yes, we met him, but he was very rude and did not entertain us. Rane is very upset and says I helped him get that post. RR replies yes, but he says just because you have helped him, he cannot shield you, law is same for everyone.

      2. Night time. Maithreyi comes home to find MP awake. She asks her if she’s unable to sleep. At this, MP says I am very hurt by PM’s behavior this morning. Instead of apologizing for leaving me alone in troubled times, he was pointing fingers at me, he justified his actions also. Right from the beginning he has a one-upmanship with me. What ever official matters I would discuss with him at home as his wife, he used to repeat it to outsiders, so I began to keep official matters a secret. He got upset with this and made this a personal issue. I am very hurt. At this Maithreyi says maybe yes, he’s at fault, but why did you distance yourself from him. Even when he came to see you, why did you snub him? MP replies I have gone very far away from him. Maithreyi asks do you want to go away from him permanently? MP says I don’t know, maybe yes. Maithreyi says why I am asking you is because I saw PM today in the airport with another lady and they were more close than necessary. You have to take a decision now whether you want to stay in this marriage or back away, because it is very difficult to build a relationship, and very easy to break one.

      3. Next morning, Judge’s daughter (JD) comes to visit MP. MP does not recognize her and JD introduces herself. MP asks JD the purpose of her visit, JD says I came here to apologize to you. I have suffered a lot in life, and have been punished severely by God for my sins. I cannot bear tio In spite of knowing that you were innocent, I nearly forced my father to convict you, because of Dr Sarangapani’s threat to me that he could be careless in operating on my mother if the judgment went in your favor. But after I came to know from Dr Kiran Das that my mother does not require surgery, I felt very guilty about wishing that way about you. MP says yes, even I was very upset when my mother was ill. It is very common for us to worry when it comes to our mother’s health, why do you worry? Things are ok now, I am free and your mother also is alright. I know you would have thought about all this only because you were under pressure about your mother’s wellbeing. Don’t worry. At this, JD takes leave of her. MP says if you don’t mind, please tell me what happened to your leg? JD says this the punishment I have suffered for hurting may parents. This punishment for eloping with an unworthy fellow and marrying him. This is the punishment for suffering violence at the hands of my husband. MP says you are not alone in this, each one of suffers in some way or the other because of our husbands. Do keep coming, we have a lot to share.

1364. Read the date as 05.06.06 in the update

1365. Amruta sent me this as the site had been down for a while… and even though a bit may be redundant, still its worth posting here I think, there are a lot of good details in it:

      ——–

      Ok, here is Monday’s episode update 🙂

      M = Maitrayi

      MP= Madhavi Patel

      Scene One
      ————-

      MP is in her room, Maitrayi arrives and walk in.

      M: Akka?

      MP: Oh Maitrayi, baa.

      M: Niddhe barlilva Akka?

      MP: Illa, hosa jaaga alva….

      M: Oota madlilva?

      MP: Hmm, Hasivaagirlila.

      M: Hasivaagirlilva athava, oota maadoke manas irlilva?

      M: Prabhanjan illige bandidraa?

      MP: Houdu, ninnag hege gothaayitu?

      M: Sanjeev, San Fransicoge hogtaaidru, airportge bidoke hogidde, alli sikkidru. Our hathra maataadi, upset aagidiya?

      MP: Upset alla Maitrayi, I was a bit irritated.

      M: Yaake?

      MP: Nande yella tappu anourhange maatadtaane aa manushya. Tann tappanella nann mele haaktaane. Naane karna ante, namm ibbara naduve antra baroke. Chanagide alva Maitrayi? Tann tappanna saripadskolloke, bereourna tannakinta kettourhange maadodo.

      M: Heeg heltini anta bejaar maadkobeda Akka, our helodralli, yella satyaaildeidru, swalpa satyane alva? Neene shrestalu antu yavattu helilva? Our hathra en maadtaadiya anta helidiya?

      MP: Illa Maitrayi, naan our hatra helidde, Official matters maneyalli maatadodo beda anta, adre ouru bere bere Official’sge heltaaidru, en en naditaaide anta. (She says some other things here, relating to the topic) Iddan yella our munde avattu heli kalasboudittu Maitrayi, adre matte aa vyekti illi band irodu bekaagirlila nange.

      M: Haagaadre, Prabhanjaninda shashvatavaagi ulibekanta ankonDidiya?

      R = Rane

      RR = Ramand Rao

      RR comes to see Rane in jail, he says, it is very sad to see you in this devasting state.

      S = Sharvani

      MP is sitting on the couch. Sharvani walks up and:

      S- Volag barbouda?

      MP: Ohhh, banni

      (They both smile)

      MP: Neev yaaru anta gothaaglilla

      The only benefit of living here is that I can keep forwarding the ads and rewinding the good bits 🙂 hehe 😛 !!

1366. Ok..sorry Vani I didn’t know bcoz the websit hadn’t been responding for a while 😛 !

      Anyway, thanks for the link Bellur, I finally know what to think when ppl say someone’s name 🙂 !
      Actually, I’m being bit stupid and it’s 6:52 am here, i have to leave for the bus soon, i better go 😛
      Thanks Sanjay Anna for doing that!
      Ammu keep :P!!

1367. Brilliant! Ammu. If you start giving such updates there is no doubt that Muktha’s popularity rating will go down, as people can afford to miss watching it live and read this update instead. Of course part of the credit should go for the fact that you are watching the recorded version and you can stop and make notes at any point of time, still a commendable effort.

      Some clarifications needed in the update:
      —
      M: Haagaadre, Prabhanjaninda shashvatavaagi ulibekanta ankonDidiya?
      >> is it “ulibekanta” or “bere-irabeku anta”. I feel the sentence is a bit confusing. Is Maitrayi asking MP – whether she wants to leave Prabhanjan for good or the converse.

      M: Inond sarthi yochane maad Akka. Ninnag our hatra hogi sorry helodu sole agboudu, adre, aa solinalli ondu geluv irabahudu. Iddan yella yak heltaaiddini andre, Prabhanjanna, ivattu bere lady gothe nodide.
      >> Is Maitrayi suggesting to her sister that she better apologise to her husband and patch up the relationship as soon as possible – as she had seen her sisters husband with another woman.
      >> Maitrayi being a psychologist by profession, doesnt seem to have understood her own sisters psychology and incapable of giving any valuable advice 🙂

      —
      In Muktha, this is the second surgery that has been prevented (Madhavi Patels mothers, judges wife) It sure does send some signals across. Does this imply that half of the surgical undertakings in real life are not needed…

1368. Heylo 😛 ,
      Thankyou Anoop,
      The credit does go to the rewinding and forwarding but also to my dad who sat there making faces at me while I was doing the update and saying useful but annoying things like,
      “you forgot to press enter.”
      “You didn’t put the apostrophe in”
      “you spelt Prabhanjan wrong”

      hehehe, and he also helped me with the Rane and RR scene bcoz I didn’t really understand what they were talking about bcoz I’m a “little girl” according to my Dad.
      Another thing my dad said was, he read one of Shruthi’s update, he read one of Vani’s updates and he read on of my updates and he said,
      ” THESE ARE SO DETAILED YOU MAY AS WELL PUT IN WHEN THE FLUTE STARTS PLAYING AND WHEN THE ‘DUM, DUM, DUM’ MUSIC COMES IN THE COURT ROOM” :P!

      Yes, but he thinks you are all a friendly bunch of people…Btw Vani, your update was good because it was simpler than mine! 😛 haha

      Ok, see you round! 😛 Ammu

1369. Sorry, didn’t answer your question!

      Is Maitrayi asking MP – whether she wants to leave Prabhanjan for good or the converse

      Yes she is asking Mp if she wants to leave Prabhanjan.

      Cheerio lol, keep smiling 😛 ammu.

1370. Dear Ammu,
      “STUDENTS SHOULD STUDY AND NOT WATCH SERIALS AND WASTE THEIR TIME GIVING SERIAL UPDATES” is not what I will tell you as an “elder”.

      Good to have enthusiastic kids like you. Appreciate your efforts in giving the updates. Good luck to you. Enjoy your student days! Keep 🙂

1371. Muktha Update

      06.06.06

      1. MP is sitting with Home Secretary (HS) in her house. He comes there to inform her of her re-instatement into duty. At this time, she vents her anger on the events during the case. She says why did you put Shivraj Hegde as the IO in the beginning? Why was Sandhya Mangalvade appointed IO when the case was handed over to CBI? On top of everything she came to my house and told me she was instrumental in getting me released, I don’t understand this. HS says yes, this is true; you may speak to CSP himself about this. She came to this case with an idea of getting you convicted, but during the course of the investigation she realized that you were innocent and she went to CSP and helped him. You may speak to CSP himself about this. HS calls CSP on his cell-phone and asks CSP to explain the entire matter to MP. MP’s face expression changes after a couple of minutes’ conversation with CSP… she listens to whatever he says and at the end of the conversation she says naanu SM bagge tappu tilididde.
      HS also discusses about her reinstatement. He says you can choose wherever you want to join, if you prefer the city, please tell me and I will see to it. You may receive the orders within a couple of days. She replies I have no such preferences. I would like to serve anywhere you post me. But I require a little time to get back to duty. I have not fully come out of the trauma of being jailed and this mental pressure. Please try to understand me. HS says you can take as much time as you want, I understand.

      2. Gayatri (G) is standing outside Mallikarjun Swamy’s house and peeping inside. A hand reaches out to her and pats her on her shoulder. She gets scared and turns to see Aru. Aru says what are u doing here? G replies “Avarannu” nodakke bande.

      Aru: Avaru andre yaaru? Amma?

      G: Illa. A: Ajji?
      G: Illa. A:Gowri?
      G: Alla. Aru: Oh! Parvagilla… aa kothi Nanjundannu yaaro avaru annohaagagide.
      G makes a very sad face at this.
      Aru : Sorry ma, tamashe maadide ashte. Cinema programa?
      G: Howdu.
      A: Cinemage karkondhogbeku anta nu gottila aa kothige. Naane Idea kotte.
      G: (smiling) Thanks. A: Baa olage. Yaaru illa. Yellarannu plan maadi horage kalisiddini.
      Both go in.

      3. Party meeting. All of the members have assembled. The Youth Wing President Sunil Kumar (SK) starts the discussion that Rane has spoilt the image of the party and it is doubtful that we may win the election. Another Senior Follower of Rane Muniyappa (M) starts to argue with SK and Ramana Rao intervenes. He says why are you speaking about Rane? I am the PP and You are going for election under my leadership. At this SK says Swamy, nimma hesaru saakashtu kettide. At this rises and says how dare you malign RR’s name? you may be the youth wing president, but he is our PP.
      CM intervenes and convinces Rane’s followers that for the party to have a chance of winning the election, we have to change the PP. At this, again chaos is created. Rane’s followers want to know how the PP can be changed days before filing of nominations; will it not affect the election? CM replies that if you analyze the election history of this country, it is evident that parties have profited by these sort of maneuvers. Don’t you agree RR avare? At this, RR says unfortunately what you are saying is true. Alright, I will step down, whom do you propose to make the PP? CM says SKD and many others support him. At this Rane’s followers are outraged and says how can you support that “Namak haram” SKD? SKD’s followers retaliate strongly and matter nearly comes to fisticuffs. Both CM and RR intervene. RR says I have a lot of apprehensions about SKD’s appointment. CM asks him to explain, at this M says if SKD becomes PP, nammannella bali haakibidthaare. RR says let me explain. We are worried that he may not give ticket to many of Rane’s followers. If SKD has to become PP, we have two conditions.
      Firstly, there are around 230 constituencies in the state and among these, 70 constituencies are held by SKD’s followers, Remaining are held by Rane’s followers. I have made a list of all the people and asked them to file nominations, I cannot withdraw, but we will allow the 70 constituencies to be contested by SKD’s people. I also promise that I will bear the charges for all the 230 constituencies.
      My other condition is that SKD must prevent CSP from filing a writ about the granting of the Satellite town project to Chabria, because even though he’s in jail, he will be funding the entire election. CM agrees to this condition, by this time SKD calls and says he will make it to the meeting at 3.00 PM. CM says lets meet at 3.00 PM again and the scene closes.

1372. Oh dear! Long update again!

      Ammu dear, I appreciate your efforts to do the update. I feel good that you gave a lot of attention to detailing which is very necessary for updates like this, it is the small nuances which make the reader feel like he isnt missing anything, otherwise it will feel like a rather dull report. Keep up the good work. 🙂

1373. HAHAHA!
      Thankyou so much Bellur!
      I actually do study, but I’d prefer any day to give Muktha updates than to be stuck at home doing algebra.

      Anyway, in yesterday’s episode the two scenes where they were discussing the issue of SKD being the leader again may have been very interesting to some people, as it was to me, but I also thought it was funny.
      The way they said “Nimmana finish maadtini!” about 5 times was hilarious according to me.

      I know in real life that the situation would be very serious, but…….i laughed 😛 :P! But it was very interesting also.

      Byeeeeee,
      Ammu 😛 !

1374. Hi all

      Sorry to comment here on a different topic, had a query, is anybody there in this group who loved reading Indrajal comics in their childhood, phantom-Mandrake-Bahadur fans?

1375. Muktha would have been nice had it ended with Court’s decision . Now but for some scenes like Rane controlling the party behind the bars, nothing looks too absorbing.

1376. Usha,

      Yes! I loved reading Bahadur, Mandrake and Phantom… Basically Indrajaal comics. Unfortunately nowadays you dont find it. One of my cousins actually was browsing the other day to buy these comics online. Ivattina varegu bere yaava comics kooda ashtondu interest maadilla nanna.

1389. Great link that one! Btw I had written some notes on comical nostalgia

1390. Good morning to all of you..

      Muktha’s episode espicially Party meeting scene took an interesting mode yesterday. I feel somewhere there might be slight resemblance of thisscene to current political situation in the state….

      Friends, http://thecomicproject.blogspot.com is the correct url , in that each month and yearwise archives have more and more comics, few can be copied, few can only be viewed.

      Also visit http://www.malgudidays.com another interesting link i found…

      and http://www.arjunprabhu.com/blog/archives has following in this link, If you visit April 2005 Archive – with title Ek titali-anek titaliya page, u will find downloadable title songs of Malgudi days, Bharath Ek khoj, vedio of ek-anek etc etc and so many….

      I was thanking silently the creators of this wonderful technology of internet and introducing us to process of sharing and enjoying our childhood memories.

1391. Muktha Update

      07.06.06

      1. Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. Continuation of yesterday’s brief conversation regarding Nanjunda and Gayathri’s (G) movie program. Aru brings G inside and calls everyone to the hajaara (sit-out). Gayathri is surprised but Aru doesn’t allow her to go, and continues to tease her. Amma, Ajji, Gowri and Thaatha come into the sit-out and make “kushala-prashnegalu”. Amma asks G the purpose of her visit and Aru explains that she had advised Nanjunda to take G to watch a movie, the original idea was that both of them were to go together from Aru’s house and at the last moment Nanjunda changed his plan and decided to wait near the theater for G. He had asked Aru to call up G and inform her of the change of plan. Aru says I had forgotten to inform this madam and so here she is. Yene aadru maduvege munche heegella cinemage hogodu tappalva ajji?Amma and Ajji tell Aru not to tease her anymore. Ajji recounts a similar incident prior to her marriage, but thaatha was very scared to talk to her parents and seek permission to take her out, she herself went to his people and took permission and they had been to watch a movie. The phone rings and Aru goes to pick it up. She speaks and says Oh! Neeva, shooting mugitha? Ivatte Hordthira? Gift tumba chennagithu etc and keeps the phone down. Everyone ask her yaaradu phone maadiddu? Aru replies that it was PK and he informed her that his shooting is over and will be back in India in a couple of days. G says PK andre Neevu madve aagthiddiralla, avarallva? At this Aru makes a very gloomy face and walks away. G says why is Aru upset? Did I speak anything wrong? At this Gowri takes her aways saying come let us see where Nanjunda is.

      2. Party meeting. CM requests SKD formally to take over as the PP.SKD says why are you asking me at this point? RR intervenes and says let me be frank, nanna image saakashtu kettide, adu hegaayithu annodu iga mukhya alla. Party nalli Olle image uliskondiroru andre neeve. Adakke namma CM nimmannu PP aagi antha helthiddare. At this SKD syas, Ok, nimma ichche idda haage aagli, parvaagilla. RR says namma kelavu conditions ide, CM cuts him short and says naanu helthini, RR avaru yenu heLthare andre neevu CSP kaili Writ haakisthiddiralla against the grant of Satellite town project to Chabria, adannu kai bidi. SKD clarifies that he had never asked CSP to take such a step, it is CSP’s personal decision and he is applying a Public Interest Litigation. CM says you have a good rapport with CSP, please aks him to withdraw. SKD replies that personally I feel that the step CSP is taking is right. At this, CM says, namma party hita drishti inda heLthiddini, please try. SKD agrees. Before RR can explain his second condition, SKD says I feel that as PP, if you give me a free hand, I’d see that election itself becomes unnecessary. Cm says Election beko-bedavo decide madodu Election Commission. How can u decide? SKD puts forward a proposal saying that if we were to choose worthy candidates for all the 260 constituencies in the state, one per constituency, then there would be no need for election. At this Rane’s followers create a racket and say that SKD wants to transfer power to Oppn Party’s hands. At this SKD says let us have the majority, let more than 170 candidates be from our party and the remaining only from Oppn, then we will still have majority. At this everyone doubts this arrangement and SKD’s followers give a number of examples wherein this philosophy has worked. Rane’s followers are unhappy and say election na majaa barodilla. SKD follower asks election nalli yenri majaa? Rane’s followers reply Hodidaata, Badidaata, booth capturing, kidnapping, money-laundering idella election nalle thane? Hanaa maadodu election nalle. At this everyone bursts out laughing.

      3. MP goes to SM’s house. SM is surprised to see her. Conversation between MP and SM are as follows below.

      MP: Madam, naanu nimma hatra apologize maadkobeku antha bande. Nanna bidugadeyalli nimma paatra na CSP helidru. Naanu nimmannu tappagi bhaavisidde. Neevu yaavagalu nanna bagge I hate Her antha helidde nanage manasalli ulidubittittu. Please forgive me.

      SP: Neevu tappu maadilla MP. In fact, naane nimma hatra nimma manasu noyisiddakke sorry kelbeku. Aadre ondu maathu, neevu naanu I hate Her antha heliddannu maathra keliskondiddira, but in a lot of places I have said I am very proud of her and am very honored to have her as my teacher.

      MP: Lets’ forget the past Madam. Are u going back to Head Quarters now?

      SM: No, there is a murder case in Jodhpur, Lady journalist killed, local MP suspected.

      MP I hope you hated her as well. Yaake helthiddini andre neevu avarige nyaay kodisthira
      anno guarantee ide.

      SM: Mathe Service join agthiro illa SKD jothe Politics ge enter aagthiro? Bahala rumors idyalla nimma future bagge.

      MP: Illa Madam, I will continue service, I am happy and contented here. Sari, naanu hordthini.

      SM: MP, nimage bejaaraagalla andre nimmannu ondu vishaya kelthini. Nimma personal life nalli tale haako yaava hakku nanagilla. Aaadru kelthini, PM illige vaapas bandiddaranthe?

      MP: Howdu madam. SM: Are you going to stay together?

      MP: As of now, I don’t know.

      SM: Why I am telling you all this is because naanu maadida kelavu tappugalannu neevu madtha iddira. I was also very much behind ideals, justice, service in my younger days, when my husband was in the service, he got involved in some case and I prosecuted him, without coming to know that he was innocent and he had been trapped. When the papers wrote about me arresting him in spite of he being my husband I was very pleased. But by the time I realized my folly, it was too late. I had sacrificed my personal life for the sake of justice. Why I am telling you all this is because I see you in the same place that I stood. Remember we are all human beings and will require companionship at some point of time or the other. It is important to have ideals and stand for justice, but not at the cost of your personal life. Try to compromise with PM if you can, because if you lose this chance, you will repent later.

1392. Arun, Srik, Bellur, Usha, Thanks all of you. Yes, definitely a trip down memory lane. I had hard copies of these comics and somehow have misplaced them. I also spoke to my cousin about this and we were very very happy to see our heroes on the net.

      Arun, if it isnt too much of a problem, I’d like to take to take you up on your offer of uploading the comics. Kalisi, please. Nimma geletana belediddakke tumba tumba khushi aagide, and I’m happy that our small contributions are going a long way (literally) to help you keep in touch with your taayi naadu.I guess We must all thank TNS in providing such food for the soul, and Sanjay for providing us this stage to share our views.

1393. Rightly said, Vani: “Food for the soul and a stage to share our views.”
      God bless us all!

1394. I second RK’s thoughts 🙂 Vani, nice updates.

      Hey RK, BTW, here is my congratulations for that churumuri prize.

      Arun Sir, Wonderful job. Its tough and challenging to do all these things, but you have really blessed us all with those lovely features in our own language.
      Hats off!!!

1395. Hi everybody!!

      Vani, and Ammu, wonderful updates – no words to praise them! !! I can now conveniently go into retirement. 😀

      Been busy, but I am at least managing to read the comments here from time to time.

      More when my work gets done. Bye!

1396. Muktha Update

      08.06.06

      1. In Annapurnamma’s house. Chinmayee is sitting on the table, and a lady is trying to make her have breakfast. Chinnu calls the lady “Nurse Aunty” (NA). Chinnu tells NA that she will have breakfast if NA allows her to telephone Gowri. NA says if No, I cant allow you to do that, if Mahesh & Madhuvanthi get to know that I have allowed you to speak to Gowri, they will not only hit you but also they will scold me. Chinnu somehow pleads and NA agrees to the condition that Chinnu can ring up Gowri only after she has breakfast. Chinnu gobbles breakfast and rings Gowri. Co-incidentally Gowri will just be arriving at the gate of Annapurnamma’s house and gives a surprise to Chinnu. Chinnu introduces NA to Gowri. Chinnu then tells Gowri that Madhuvanthi is very bad towards her and hits and scolds her. NA seconds this and says that one, Chinnu was down with fever because Madhuvanthi hit her, all the time when she was ill, “Gowri Gowri antha kanavarisuthidlu” I tried to ring you, but you dint take my call. Madhu came to know about this and created a racket. She told me that If I spoke anything to you, “ninna charma sulidubidthini” that’s why I kept quiet. Chinnu tells Gowri to take her out for the day. Gowri is reluctant at first, but Chinnu informs that both Mahesh and Madhu are out for the day and so we can go have fun. Gowri agrees. They return later to find Madhu angrily sitting in the hall. Madhu calls Chinnu and asks her where had she been? Chinnu doesn’t answer and hides behind Gowri. At this, Madhu gets up and raises her hand to hit Chinnu. Gowri screams at Madhu and says why are you hitting that child? Madhu says that Chinnu is her niece and she has all authority to hit her or scold her. Gowri is no one to question that. Gowri says all this will not work with me anymore, I am going to come every day to meet Chinnu, If you don’t allow me to, or hit her even once any more, I will give a Police Complaint. Madhu walks off in a huff and goes to her bedroom where Mahesh is reading a book. Mahesh asks her what’s the problem; Madhu replies that the problem is Gowri. She is interfering too much in our affairs. She wants to see Chinnu each day and has threatened that if she is not allowed, she will lodge a Police Complaint. Mahesh says that’s why I have been telling you not to hit Chinnu so much. Madhu replies that that was the only way left for her to control the child as she had become quite unruly.
      Mahesh tells her that she’s worried unnecessarily and anyway after one month Chinnu will be sent to Valley International School. He says that he knows the security in-charge of that school and this time there will be no risk in finishing off Chinnu. Madhu is apprehensive about his plan of finishing off Chinnu, she is reluctant, but Mahesh says leave it all to me, you need not worry. Madhu glances towards the window to find the silhouette of a man who appears to be listening to the couple’s conversation. Mahesh shouts at the man who runs away and escapes. Madhu is scared that the man might have heard the conversation, but Mahesh tells her not to worry and they go back into the house.

      2. Aru’s house. She is packing her stuff to go to the city. Ajji scolds her, she says why do you put-off packing till the last minute? Amma joins in ands says at the last moment you would be in a hurry and forget to have dinner, next morning you will call me and say I left my brush, I left my soap etc. Aru has her dinner while Ajji and Amma take over the packing. Later Gowri speaks to Aru. She says please don’t feel bad that you have to break your word of marrying PK. You were in a dilemma when the whole issue started and maybe you took a hasty decision, but you need not be bound to it. Sometimes we cannot do what we choose to, life will take us on an entirely different path. At that time, we must adjust and lead our life accordingly, and these decisions must not be taken in haste. If you are unable to tell PK straight away, bring him home, and we will speak to him. Aru is in tears and hugs Gowri.

      3. RR is meeting Rane in Jail. RR informs Rane that he and some other MLAs met the lawyer regarding your cases and he has assured that you will get bail in the cases. Rane looks pleased and tells RR to update him regarding the meeting. RR says as you instructed, we have made SKD the PP, but he has not agreed to our conditions. He says that no elections are necessary and that a coalition govt can be formed. Many of the MLAs supported SKD’s move, in fact even the CM did. Rane is furious about this and says how can SKD do this? All his followers are a bunch of worthless fellows without any knack. He will spoil the whole thing. If he has to remain the PP, he has to listen to what we say. He does not have any money power and money power is very much the need of the hour. He cannot try to have his way when we are putting in all the money. If he has to remain the PP, he better listen to us. If he doesn’t agree, then take him off. RR says, but it was you who asked us to make him the PP and told that it will not be possible to win the election without SKD. Rane clarifies that it might be difficult to win the election, not impossible. I will call the CM and speak to him about this. You do not worry If he continues in this fashion, let him put his candidates and then we will counter them with our own strong candidates. If we have money, we can put stronger candidates in all the constituencies. Let us distribute liquor and money freely, let our men go and threaten anyone who plans to vote for SKD’s people. BTW, my men Parvatha Reddy and Varnekar will come to meet you. Provide them with adequate protection. RR says who are these people? Rane replies that these two were the main accused in the Columbia Coppers Case. RR says they must be in jail right now isn’t it? Rane replies that they are out on parole for 3 months, you have to look after them for me, they will be required during the election. Also ensure that Parvatha Reddy’s brother Govind Reddy Stands for the election in my constituency, it will be easy for me to make him resign. BTW, what happened to the Writ Petition filing by CSP? RR replies that there might be a problem in that as well. Rane says enu yochane madbedi, naanu CM karesi mathadthini.

1397. Here we go! the interest level seems to be down. hardly few comments here. I think even the page views might have gone down! Sanjay, I think we should get onto different subjects if we want to kick off more participation from janta

1398. Anyone free to do the update? I am awfully short of time… have tons of work. Thanks!

1399. I am also pretty swamped with work – in office on a Saturday :(( – But taking a break – so I will post a short update. [Warning — I did not even watch the whole episode last night]

      Nanjunda talking to Gayatri in the garden. Gayatri suggests to N, why don’t you come and live in our village after marriage. N gets very angry.
      N – i had no idea you were the kind who wanted to break families. We have one family wrecker in our house, that’s enough. we don’t want another. If this is your intention, then I don’t want this marriage.
      G – cries.
      N – (more softly) – why are you crying?
      G – because you did not even bother to hear why I said that. do i look like the family wrecking kinds? my father has expanded the shop, its doing well, a rowdy is coming and threatening my father a lot, asks for money, else creates trouble. he bothers me even when i walk on the road. there are no other men in the house. my father was saying, nangyake beku angaDi, nimmibbara hesaralli baredu bidthini…. antha… thats why i said this.
      N – which rowdy, whats his name?
      G – Gangu, from some village. but please don’t get into trouble with him.
      N – he won’t trouble you any longer, I will make sure of that.
      G – thank you (smiles).. i will never again speak in a way that will hurt you.

      MP and her mom talk about Prabhanjan. MP basically says that she chose the wrong person, and she has never felt that much affection and respect for him to want to continue living with him. She also says that she had spoken lightly of her own mother when she left her husband and went away. she says, now i understand how u must have felt. i atleast have my job to occupy me, for you, your husband was everything. If I think of giving up my adarsha and all, to accommodate family life, it doesn’t look very inviting. But if i think of a life with just my career, with all my adarshas, and other things, i feel happy. I feel that is the life for me. Of course, i still have not made a complete decision, it is difficult. Both Maitreyi and SAndhya M have seen that man with a different lady – I used to get doubts, but drove those doubts away – now I know that what ifelt was true. MP’s weeps, says, i know that you will take the right decision. It will be difficult. but once u take a decision, do not look back. they hug.

      Lots of blank calls are coming on Mahesh’s cell phone from “private number”. Nobody answers. Finally when Mahesh shouts, please speak something, else stop calling – there is asound of laughter. Then we are shown a new character, sitting on a dimly lighted flight of stairs, and laughing in a mocking way. Mahesh asks who it is. The man says, I am the man who listened to you speaking last night about wanting to finish off Chinmayi. Mahesh is shocked, he says who are you, what do you want. The man said, why are you in a hurry, business mathadbekadre aaramvaagi koothkondu mathadbeku. I will tell you what i want. but first i want to tell you that i know all ur secrets. Here is one secret that will keep you awake this night. Annapurnamma did not die of a heart attack, but you killed her. shall i tell you how you killed her? Mahesh is shocked, shouts at him, telling him, you are speaking nonsense. The man just laughs and hangs up. Mahesh tells Madhu, that this man is the one who was eavesdropping yday, and he also knows that we killed Annapurnamma. Madhu is scared and shocked, both of them just stand there looking at each other.

1400. The new project I’m working on on my return to my job after the project has been so demanding + situational changes in married life so I’ve not been able to spend much time on this site (no posts in a long time!) but I think things are slowly returning to normal – whatever that means!

      Girish, I’m optimist that fluctuations may be there but interesting things will always be there! 🙂

      Managed to watch Muktha recently again, for quite a while I’d gotten out of touch and just reading the updates here, but now I think its worth watching again. The treatment given to poor Chinmayi isn’t just in any serial – we see such things in the paper regularly and such stories are quite heartrending. Its really incredible to what extent money can corrupt that people in their greed and ignorance fail to see the Gods that children are 🙁

      The recent turn of events in Muktha wrt Chinmayi, esp the incidents in Shruti’s latest update reminds of some notes I’d made on child labor…

      People like this couple may think they are sneakily managing to get away, but sometime or the other a circumstance may come which simply rips the deceptive facade apart!

1401. Hello, hello! Where is everybody?

1402. Hi All,

      No comments on the post these days…me neck-deep in work. Hope the latest situation brings back at least a little of the old excitement, though not at Poor Chinnu’s cost. Somehow I had a feeling that Annapurnamma’s was not a natural death…So we may get another case, but TNS wanted to end this in another month, by 20th July. I dont think he will prolong these episodes too long.

1403. I am here I am here!! hehe

      Anyways thought I shall post some links of the TCP blogsite so people can download some Indrajal comics. These links are for some of the first comics uploaded in TCP. check them out and if u like them, do leave a note @ thecomicproject.blogspot.com

      After all these stuffs are downloaded from their site 🙂

1404. Oh god not again!

      sanjay, I guess u need to fix this skipping of underscore on your site and justification of the comment entry, esp. the name. The first thing removes all the links with underscore. second problem does not allow one to post in unicode. Wldn’t it be nice to write in kannada and encourage computing in our own language?

      Trying this first — work aadare innU eraDu linksna posTisteeni 🙂

      http://rapidshare.de/files/1308659/The-Emperor-s-Dream.zip.html

      Plz replace hyphen by underscore in the lase part of the URL

1405. hey Arun! you can post with unicode. About the links, one can use the HTML syntax like this:

      name

      of course without the spaces in the

      Btw I corrected the links in your post 🙂

      Hey Shrui I dont know where everyone else has gone too… looks like the busyness syndrome is contagious…

1406. Today’s summary… anyone who wants to add more details can just copy and paste this and post the comment, and then I’ll delete this one 😉

      The head of the detective agency comes to CSP. Vimala tells him that CSP is inside and he’s seated. CSP is annoyed that Vimala said so, anyway he comes there. He knows that the head had come a couple of times earlier and regretted that he wasn’t there. The head told him that that wasn’t true and he’d been running out of the backdoor and vaulting over the compound wall – he had a man posted there. He even reports that an elderly neighbour had questioned CSP on this curious behaviour and CSP had replied that vaulting over compound walls was good for health! So now CSP sheepishly has no choice but to admit it. The head presents him with a whopping 3.5 lakh rupee bill.

      Then CSP calls up MP and talks pretty rudely to her that she’s just been absconding after the case and has hardly bothreed about CSP and his fees. Only his side of the conversation is shown. Finally he keeps the phone – saying that she’ll be paying it tomorrow through Inspector Dayanand, but he dosen’t know how much.

      The head cautions him not to be so rude to SKD as well as he’s going to be a minister.

      Anyway CSP calls up SKD and is pretty cynical initially saying things like ‘do you know lawyers get paid something like fees’ and so on… finally gets to know that SKD dosen’t have much money either. SKD advises him not to be so upset but he replies that if he pays them the fees, not even CSP’s own fees but just the detective agencies bills, he will stand for 3 days listening to SKD’s advice.

      So finally he pays the head some money from his own pockets.

      ———

      I found TNS’ acting in this somewhat too casual, though it was somewhat a comical episode… so didn’t bother to write that much in detail.

1407. Sanjay,

      Thanks…We had guests last night and I was not able to concentrate and watch the episode, was watching bits whenever possible. Actually I was wondering whether to do the update or not…your summary has pretty much covered all that CSP said yesterday. I felt that yesterday’s was just a sort of time-pass episode, nothing much to write home about. Maybe TNS is running out of ideas… these past few episodes must have been shot after the viewer poll, really not worth commenting.

1408. Sanjay, you are right, the business syndrome, I guess is contagious. Looks like all of us have more work these days.
      Yesterday’s episode was hilarious, atleast I enjoyed it 🙂 especially the situation where SKD says, ‘dayavittu upadesha madtidini anta tilkobedi, nim arogya nodkolli’ and CSP says ‘sir, neevu 3 laksha baaki teerisibidi aaga 3 dina bekadre onde kade ninthu kondu nimma upadesha keltini’ 🙂

      Vani, yes July 28th would be the last episode of Muktha!

      Chaitanya

1409. Can anyone help me? I had my comp formatted last week because of some problems and now I cant log on to Sampada or other sites, I only see rectangles and squares… here also Arun’s name in Kannada appears as a series of lines and also in the anti-spamming mechanism, where the instruction to add the numbers is given in kannada, all I see are boxes. Yaaraadaru dayavittu belaku chelli.

1410. Vani,

      I think you have to re-install all Kannada fonts.

      (After doing this, all squares and rectangles i.e. Barphis, will become Chakkali and Kodbale).

1411. Hey thats RK calling Kannada font chakli kodbaLe 😉
      I here recall some of my northie frnds referring to Kannada fonts as series of rounds and spirals (matches with chakli kodbaLe 😀 )

      Well…
      True Chaitanya, busyness syndrome has taken its toll on myself too 🙁

1412. Bellur ,

      Ootada time hathra banthu antha soochistha iddira 😉
      I am feeling quite hungry, how I wish the clock would run faster!

      My Sys-Admin Person reinstalled IE6, Nudi and Baraha, but no use. Bere upaaya yenaadru iddare heli. Somehow today seems to be one of those days when anything you do goes for a toss. Just heard from one of my colleagues that we lost a very important project 🙁 that too after months of hard work!

      Anything ele I can do? Please let me know.

1413. Business syndrome……..I don’t work……..I’m having funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn :P!!!! HAHA! Anyway, have fun, I have to gooooooooo 😉

      Don’t know why the first link for this page vanished!?
      _________________________________________________________

      Dear Arun,
      muttingintha, chakkali kodbale ruchi, alwa? yenantheera?

1416. Ramakrishna, that’s a good observation – its probably because of the inactivity of the blog in terms of posts, though I have many drafts its been quite a while since I posted one, hopefully should be able to publicise some drafts tonight… And houdri… naanu adhe andhkonDe… hotte hasidaaga muttu tinnakaagalla… code-baLe thinbahudu!

      Ammu you’re making me jealous 😈 oh boy hope you enjoy your freedom as long as it lasts!!

1417. hehe… site vaapas baMdide. soooopar. swalpa yaaraadru ninne updates haakteera?

1418. Hi

      Please put in 13th June’s updates. Sanjay you are doing a great job of maintaining this site.

      Vani/Shruthi/Amruta, thanks for all the regular updates

      Muktha fans like me (currently in the UK) are really thankful to you all for ensuring that we can still follow up on the serial

      And last but not the least, 3 Cheers to TNS !!!

      Rgds

      Nikhil

1419. Niks,

      On behalf of the updaters of this serial, thank you for the kind words.

      I will write a brief update of 13th and 14th, just covering the main points so that people are in line with what’s happening, I cannot elaborate becos of lack of time.

      Will put the update shortly.

1420. vani hope ur font problem is resolved. if not,

      1. open your internet explorer
      2. Click “view” menu, select Encoding -> Auto select.

      This should do the trick in most cases.

      If this does not resolve your problem let us know.

1421. Guru,

      No! 🙁 Even what you said hasnt solved it.

      Help me! Its become some sort of obsession to me now.

1422. Muktha Update

      June 13, 2006

      1. IA and MP are sitting and chatting. IA hands MP a glass of milk, MP goes off on a nostalgic trip to childhood. IA is apologetic that MP’s childhood was such a bad one. MP consoles her. IA feels that all of them, i.e. MP, Maithreyi, MM and herself should live together in AM’s house. MP says I’d be more than happy to come and stay with you, which daughter wouldn’t? but that’s AM’s house and somehow I feel that “AM’s athmakke droha bageda haagagathe” IA clarifies that whatever reasons MP and AM had to hate each other is void now, one thing is AM isn’t alive, and even when he was, the reason for hatred was a misunderstanding. You disliked AM becos you felt that he took me away from you, he disliked you becos he felt that you hated him. Anyway, it doesn’t matter now. Let us all stay together, even MM will like it. MP agrees and says if it is no problem with MM, l have no issues.

      2. DYSP Devanand comes to meet CSP and hands him Rs 30,000. He tells him that MP has asked him to handover the money to CSP. He also says I feel you were a little rude to her. She was almost in tears. You know that she’s under suspension and was not getting any salary, also she’s far too self-reliant to borrow money from anybody. CSP checks the envelope and sees the bank seal of Devakoppa. He confronts Devanand and says I know MP does not have an account in Devakoppa; Devanand owns up and says that he did pay out of his own pocket becos he knew CSP was also in trouble. CSP says nimmanthavarinda tumba kashta ree.
      Nimage manushyathwa irodrinda ne yella problems. Devanand asks CSP don’t you get good cases, now that you have a good reputation? CSP says nanage aadarsha mukhya, I take cases of those people who are really innocent, unfortunately they do not have money, I don’t take cases of guilty people, they have money, what to do? I get stuck with people like MP and you. At least Gowri’s people cry and pay more money than that is needed, these high profile people don’t pay what is due. Becos of this I am always short of money and unable to pay to those whom I owe.

      3. IA and children are sitting in AM’s house, MM speaks to his half-sisters. He agrees that he had a bias towards them earlier, even now he admits that he hasn’t developed enough affection to call them both Akka, but still he has seen some inherent good qualities in them that he lacks. He says it may be easy for you to forget everything that’s occurred in the past, but it’s difficult for me, because I was wrong time and again during that time. Anyway, let us think ahead from now. If Amma wants all of us to stay together, I will be very happy to have you people with us. Amma’s happiness is foremost to me, I also want us to stay together. Please don’t say no, let’s stay together. IA pats MM on the cheek affectionately.

1423. Hi

      Even i am having similar problem what Vani is facing, i am also eagerly waiting for any possible solution, i have baraha, nudi, kedege, mallige, all these fonts but 🙁 not working, i m able to view gorbled text, in this blog as well as sampada etc, but sahitya puta, udbhava, ourkarnataka.com etc are readable…

1424. Vani/Usha,

      Can you give more details on the OS and browser version you are using?

      I guess the activity on this blog is reduced mainly because, the site is down for long times. Yesterday many time I tried but was not working. Sanjay, any idea why this is so? Actually I saw few other blogs on weblogs were still up while this was down.

      Chaitanya

1425. Sorry guys… this is the response I got from JD (host) of this server… he’s trying his best but he’s got a lot of other things to do as well as he’s a student… just hoping that it will get ironed out a bit over time…

      
      Howdy Sanjay,
      Thanks for the notice. We usually get the stuff fixed pretty quickly when it goes bad, but as you noticed sometime it takes longer.

      I’m trying to improve things, but I can’t guarantee it will work.

      Here are the two foremost projects:
      1 have an automated task that checks every 10 minutes to make sure blogs are working, if not, then reset the server
      2 replace the web server’s hard drive with a much faster one

      Hope that fill you in a bit!
      

      ———–

      Vani thanks its nice to read the updates, I’m relying on them myself nowadays, time (for writing) is a severe scarcity off late… many other interesting things are going on – some day when I write again I’ll have a lot more posts to put up!

1426. Chaitanya,

      The browser is IE6 and OS is 98SE

1427. This is what I saw on Sampada, sorry if you’ve seen it already… but just check for Service Packs for IE6

      ———-

      Enabling Unicode on Win98
      Some users have reported that they could read Unicode on the latest browsers on Win98.
      Make sure you have the latest browser or latest Internet explorer.
      Install a Unicode font. (copy it to the fonts directory)
      “Install IE6 with Arabic support (adding Arabic support later on does not help many times, I dont know why). This will add the proper matching rendering engine (USP10.DLL file) for opentype fonts.After that you will not have the problem of glyphs not joining properly.” – Input from Pavanaja.
      For step by step instructions, check this post by Rohit. Read the same in English. Read the discussion regarding this.
      P.S: For keying in on Win98 and Win2000, You’ll need to use IBM’s Indicime.

1428. Here’s something funny but totally unrelated to our blog. Found it good,I felt like sharing with all of you.

      –
      A nice one

      Peg After Peg

      I never take risk while drinking

      When I come from office in the evening, wife is cooking
      I can hear the noise of utensils in the kitchen
      I stealthily enter the house
      Take out the bottle from my black cupboard
      Shivaji Maharaj is looking at me from the photo frame
      But still no one is aware of it
      Becoz I never take a risk

      I take out the glass from the rack above the old sink
      Quickly enjoy one peg
      Wash the glass and again keep it on the rack
      Of course I also keep the bottle inside my cupboard
      Shivaji Maharaj is giving a smile

      I peep into the kitchen
      Wife is cutting potatoes
      No one is aware of what I did
      Becoz I never take a risk

      I: Any news on chopra’s daughter’s marriage
      Wife: Nope, she doesn’t seem to be that lucky. Still they are looking
      out for her

      I again come out; there is a small noise of the black cupboard
      But I don’t make any sound while taking out the bottle
      I take out the glass from the old rack above sink
      Quickly enjoy one peg

      Wash the bottle and keep it in the sink
      Also keep the Black Glass in the cupboard
      But still no one is aware of what I did
      Becoz I never take a risk

      I: But still I think chopra’s daughter’s age is not that much
      Wife: What are you saying? She is 28 yrs old… like an aged horse
      I: (I forgot her age is 28) Oh Oh…

      I again take out potatoes out from my black cupboard
      But the cupboard’s place has automatically changed
      I take out the bottle from the rack and quickly enjoy one peg in the sink

      Shivaji Maharaj laughs loudly
      I keep the rack in the potatoes & wash Shivaji Maharaj’s photo & keep
      it in the black cupboard

      Wife is keeping the sink on the stove
      But still no one is aware of what I did
      Becoz I never take a risk

      I: (getting angry) you call Mr. chopra a horse? If you say that again, I
      will cut your tongue…!
      Wife: Don’t just blabber something, go out and sit quietly…

      I take out the bottle from the potatoes
      Go in the black cupboard and enjoy a peg
      Wash the sink and keep it over the rack
      Wife is giving a smile

      Shivaji Maharaj is still cooking
      But still no one is aware of what I did
      Becoz I never take a risk

      I: (laughing) So chopra is marrying a horse!!
      Wife: Hey go and sprinkle some water on your face…

      I again go to the kitchen, and quietly sit on the rack
      Stove is also on the rack
      There is a small noise of bottles from the room outside

      I peep and see that wife is enjoying a peg in the sink
      But none of the horses are aware of what I did
      Becoz Shivaji Maharaj never takes a risk

      chopra is still cooking
      And I am looking at my wife from the photo and laughing
      Becoz I never take what???

1429. Muktha Update

      14.06.06

      1. CSP’s house. RR And Muniyappa come to speak to Sheela Prasad (SP), with regard to filing nomination as the Party Local Candidate. Sheela Prasad is not convinced about contesting the election. Muniyappa wants to know why the change in attitude. She questions them about their party image, and also questions them about the attempt on CSP’s life. They reply that all that was during Rane’s reign, now Rane is in jail, and Elections will be conducted under my leadership. Sheela Prasad is still skeptical and says that she heard that there was a move to make SKD the PP; he’s got a good image. RR and Muniyappa say that SKD is full of Principles and he wanted no elections at all. SP says without him, the party will definitely lose elections. RR says image is not every thing, money and muscle is what rules these days. Look at your husband CSP, he fought such a difficult case and won, but his clients are not able to give him fees we hear. SP says I heard SKD is joining the Opposition Party. RR gets upset at this and says, let him join, what is there? After all SKD’s influence is in 5 districts, which is roughly 80 candidates. We will put strong candidates against him and spend 2 Crores on each candidate. Let us see who wins. We are still telling you, file the nomination and contest the election. We can make you a minister and you can earn with both hands. SP is thoughtful. They get up to leave. SP asks them to wait, walks inside and brings a bag. She replies that that was the 10 lakhs RR and Rane gave her. She says I am proud that my husband has won the case. It goes to prove that money and muscle power isn’t everything. I will not contest the elections, I am sorry. They walk away.

      2. Annapurnamma’s house. Madhu is reading a book. Chinnu walks by. Madhu wants to know where Chinnu had been, Chinnu does not give a satisfactory reply and Madhu pushes her. Gowri sees this and tells her that she has already complained to the police, police are also aware that she and Mahesh have murdered Annapurnamma. They have collected enough evidence and will be soon arresting the couple. Madhu is shocked…she suddenly wakes up to find it’s all a dream. Mahesh consoles her and says he will take care of Gowri.

      3. CSP is talking to Devanand. He is updating CSP on all the latest about Rane. He says Rane is enjoying all benefits inspite of being jailed. Sometimes he also goes out. I cannot do anything. He has been denied bail in a couple of cases. CSP wants to know what is the progress on the case filed regarding the attempt on his life. Devanand replies that he had to file chargesheet, but the concerned SP is not allowing him to. Devanand Feels that once election is over, they will successfully close the file. On CSP questioning who is the SP, Devanand replies that he is Shivraj Hegde. Devanand also tells him that Rane may become CM, and so there’s tough time ahead for all the forthright Police Officers. Already he has been threatened by Ramana Rao that he will be transferred, becos of elections, they cannot do anything, but once election is over he says he has to be ready for transfer. CSP asks him the progress on AM’s murder, Devanand says that it has to be ordered by the CM, but CM himself is a puppet in the hands of Rane, CM’s 300 Crores is with Rane; moreover he has planted CM’s son in many unwanted deals. CSP laughs. Devanand also warns him to be wary of Parvath Reddy and Varnekar, the accused in the Columbia Coppers Case who are out on parole. They both hold a grudge on CSP; they may try to harm. As he says this, we are shown that a man is hiding behind the window and listening to this exchange.

1430. Vani,

      Thanks for the update. And for a hilariously funny piece. Last half anthu sakkath maja kodthu. Office-ssu antha bai muchkond nagabekaithu. It was a long time since I had read such a humourous piece. Thanks again.

1431. Sanjay, the link of Rohit’s blog was very good.

1432. thanks for the update vani. And the hillarious piece. I had read this a long time ago. Was nice to read it once more 🙂

1433. Will someone do the update? I have a training session coming up in another half an hour which will go till the end of the day.

      Thanks
      Vani

1434. Hi everybody – been busy… just dropped by to say hello. Since Vani cannot give the update, here’s a very very short update.

      ___________________________________________________________

      SKD in a meeting with opposition party leaders – airs his idea about fielding one candidate for each area. Lots of doubts are expressed. Some people like the idea, but most people think it is not feasible. When they hear that Ramana Rao and Muniyappa are against it, most of them give up, saying that in that case, how will you go ahead.

      Mahesh and Madhu talking. Madhu very scared, says more and more ppl will get to know, we will never live in peace. Mahesh says that she is unnecessarily getting worried, he knows how to shut people up. Madhu says how many will you shut up? WE should not have done what we did out of greed for money. Mahesh tries to console her, then they notice Chinnu standing at the door, she says she has been there for ten minutes. They get worried, Mahesh gives Chinnu money and asks her to go with Mangala aunty and get chocs. Chinnu leaves.

      The caller comes to meet Mahesh. He is calm and composed. He says that he knows all their secrets, starting from Chinnu’s kidnapping attempts right up to how they killed Annapurnamma using Dr. Mahalingam. Mahesh very angry, tells him that he has the power to send him straight to the cemetery. The guy says that he knows that, and he has arranged that if he does not return, his partner should go straight to Gowri with info. The guy says that he knows stuff that even Mahesh doesn’t know. Annapurnamma had already signed on the new will before she died and even got it registered. Killing her was a waste. Mahesh is shocked. The guy says that he had taken the will from her room, that’s why they could not find it. One copy is in the sub-registrar’s office. He says that all he wants is 5% of the aasti. Else he will go to the police. And if he is killed, then the aasti will not go to Mahesh at all.

1435. Now that Annapornamma’s murder mystery is opening up, i guess there will be a new law suit against Mahesh and Co which CSP might take upon request of Gowri….ha ha i see a new court scene getting ready… I am curious now..

1436. Usha,

      Till CSP gets his fees from MP and SKD, he will not be interested to take up new cases.

      And when Gowri goes to him, he will say that “Nanjunda maneyavaru modale fees kodalla. Free-yaagi fight maadi naanu kai-yalli chipp hidkollaa?”

1437. I feel that Viewers should have allowed TNS to windup Muktha as soon as the Court Decision was thru. Now its more or less like other serials.

1438. (from Amrutha)

      Scene One

      —————

      SKD = Shiv Krishna Desai

      RPM = Random Party Member

      OL = Opposition Leader

      RPM: Ond ond kade ond ond party strongaag irtaaralla, avaag jagla sahajaalva, aag en maadtiri.

      SKD: Adike naan ond salahe kodtini, Marula Siddhappa ourna kelkondidini, ouru namma yella partygalla siddhaantakke voppohanta candidategala ondu pattianna siddapadastaare. Ouru, ourjothe samajada hittachintakaru mattu sarvoday nayakaru ella serkondu ondu committee maadi nammage salahanna kodtaare.

      RPM: Iddella sadhya agotha?

      OL: Ond sala prayoga maad nodona.

      Two Rane supporters standup and say:

      “Swami, iddella sadhya aagolla, daivittu kshamasi, nimm maatalli nammage vishwaasavilla, naav hordtivi.”

      OL: Aitu, nimm istha.

      RPM: Sir, naav oota maadovaaga, RR our jothe phonealli maatadtaaidru. Ouru alle hogidaare, alle nintkotaare.

      OL: Nanagu aa vicharadalli anumaana ittu, aagli bidi.

      They discuss about a symbol for the election campaign and decide on a balance because in the past it was used by Gandhi Basappa. They say that they will get permission from the High Command to go for election under this new symbol.

      OL: SKDouru convener agirli, ullada party leadergallu co-convener aagirli. Agbouda?

      Everyone: Haa, aagboudu

      Somebody raises the point that the parties will have their own ideologies and their will be extreme views about it. How do we deal with that?

      SKD says he agrees with what he said but at the moment we will have to keep the extreme views aside.

      SKD: Namm desha ivattu dodd dodd saavalgallu yedarstaaaide, aa savaalgalanna naavu yedarsbekandre naav yella vokattinda kelasa maadbekaagotte.Ilde hodre ivattina jaagtikarnada sambandhadalli videshi gulaamaraagi hogbekaagatte. Raajikiya gulaamagiri ildeirboudu adre arthika gulaamagiri mattu saamajika gulaamagirige guri aag hogtivi.

      He goes on to say on a common ground, we will draw out objectives.

      They go on to discuss about different sections of economics and globalisation and how they can take the development to the rural areas of Karnataka.

      Scene Two

      ————–

      Somebody asks what should our view be abut globalisation. SKD says according to me we should oppose it. Somebody says globalisation is actually helping our country, that is the report I read in the newspapers. So if we are opposing globalisation then aren’t we refusing prosperity?

      SKD: Ibbaru samaanara madhye spardhe idre chanagirotte, ondu srimantaraastra, inodhu badaraashtra, iv yerdara madhye spardhe ittre enaagotte heli? Srimantaraashtrane gellotte ouru yeradu kaalalli odtaare, ivarige yeradu kaalu katti oduantaare, avagenaagotte? Oure geltaare. Hinta jaagatikarna naavu virodamaadle beku alve?

      They talk about hoe MNC’s have ruined our small scale industries and they discuss about how Pepsi and Cola have replaced elaneeru. They mention that those who are growing elaneeru are committing suicide.

      OL says we will conclude this topic because there are different opinions, but in general we all agree that globalization is hampering our culture.

      A lady asks what about the reservation policy for women?

      SKD says that there should be 45% instead of 33% reservation for women.

      Mr Naadagouda makes a joke saying that he has given 99% reservation for ladies …… in his heart. 33% for his wife, 33% for his daughter and 33% for his mother.

      [All laugh]

      SKD says that apart from this reservation there is another reservation that we are all ignoring. That is about the reservation in education, between the have’s and have not’s. Someone adds that we also need to address reservation relating to castes and religion. They all say, yes that’s a good direction.

      OL concludes by saying based on all this, we will have a common minimum program.

      SKD: O, eega namma niluvugaluige vopige aagideanodaadre ondu list finalise maadonvaeega?

      RPM: Sir, judge sahibre banni, haagidre ella kootkondu ond list finalise maadibidona.

      Scene Three

      —————

      BM = Black Mailer

      M = Mahesh

      MV = Madhuvanti

      BM: Kootkobouda?

      M: Haa banni, Gowri hesarige maadiro willige medum signhaakidaare anno vichaara nimmage hege gothaayitu?

      BM: [laughs] Bahusha Annpurnamma jothe irboudu

      M: Andre?

      BM: Hemagiri bettdinda ounanna tallbitte.

      Sits down. Forget about that, now tell me what I get. If you don’t want me to tell anyone this, what will you give me?

      Mahesh says look, how much you asked for is too much, I’ll give you month by month, just keep quiet.

      Okay, if it’s month by month, give me Two Lakh. I’ll keep quiet, you see I have a partner so…

      Look, I’ll give you one Lakh and on top of that 10 thousand, give the 10 thousand to your partner, you keep the one lakh.

      BM agrees to this. You must never tell anyone about this. Even though I do this jobs, I’ve kept some dignity, I won’t tell anyone.

      MV: Neeveno ee vichaarana yaarguhellala nija, adre bereouru Gowrige helbittre?

      BM: Aaga, Gowrina mugasbekaagotte.

      BM: Naan inn bartini. Another thing, you say you will kill Chinmayi at the boarding school, but do you realise that all your aasti will be taken away if you do so?

      M: Gothu, willalli Chinmayi asahaja saavinda sathre, 100% aasti aaspatrege serotte anta baredide, aadre sahaja saavininda sathre?

      BM: Tilitubidi.Naaninn bartini

      At this point Gowri arrives and hears the rest of the conversation

      M: Just remember, if you do any funny business with me…

      BM: No,no, definetly not. This issue is between us only, I won’t let anyone else know. I’ll make sure that no-one knows about the new will.

      Gowri hides behind a door and the BM leaves.

1439. Dear Sanjay,

      Your Muktha update is a pretty detailed one. However, reading Kannada dialogues in English script is not a good idea (atleast I think so). It is breaking the continuity in reading. Since, its possible to type in Kannada script using Unicodes, isn’t it a better idea to use them? Otherwise, you can give the gist of each episode in English only without taking the trouble of noting down each and every dialogue.

1440. Comment on IT BT in fridays episode was irking and uncalled for. IT BT is giving opportunities for merit citizens of India, which govt is not giving.
      Does IT BT is troubling TNS. It will be nice if he does not make uncalled for comments on this issue.
      In china, the govt is encouraing IT and from the taxes they are getting, they are improving the villages. Why can’t people as intellectual as TNS can think positively in this case.
      Perhaps India is the only place, where people want to be a road block in the development and like to call themselves backward.
      Instead of making irking comment about IT BT, TNS would be wise if he explores the opportunities IT BT is giving for people and the advantages it has brought in the life of middle class people as most of us are here in India and especially in Bangalore.
      I am extremly disappointed with TNS stand on IT BT and him being against globalisation.
      It will be nice if he can avoid the episodes like the one on fridays.
      Because of fridays episode and comment made on IT BT, I did lost some interest in muktha.

1441. Well Murthy, lot of us in this forum agree with you that IT BT and globalization are not creating any havoc, as potrayed. We discussed on these issues with TNS and he agreed for few of our points as well. But difference of opinion, you see, his view point is altogether different from ours. I guess, we should just take it with a pinch of salt.

      Chaitanya

1442. Yes Chaitanya, agreed there always will be a difference of opinion, but those with not a good opinion are the one who make things stands out and make a mountain of a mole. Unfortunately in the society we have, people who look at poitives are less.

1443. Yes Sanjay, I agree with Rupadarshi, reading kannada written in english characters is tough. But, I also know how much time it will take to type the entire thing in Unicode.

      About Globalisation: I dont think TNS is against globalisation, all he is saying is a country should become self-sufficient first. This all boils down to the true meaning of globalisation. What is globalisation? is it mass creation of employment of one kind only, just because the cost of labour is 1/4 th of what it is in the native country. WE must stop fooling ourself that India is doing well in IT just because it has a very big talent pool, that it has anyway. But the real reason that most of you know, but are not ready to accept is – the cost of labour in India is cheap. And another thing, what kind of job gets outsourced to India, the back office jobs, there are rarely any research centres where products are designed from scratch.. When Im speaking about all this, i know I may be off the mark, but not by a great distance..

1444. I think you guys missed the first line where it says (from Amrutha) – so Ammu please take note 😛

      This is also one perspective of globalisation which I think explains why TNS is really so concerned. True there may be flaws in his opinions if we look at them with a lens – but I think this article probably conveys his basic concern…

      Why do farmers have to die?

      Also see… farming without harming

1445. Hello….
      I can’t write comments in Baraha unicode, I have to write them in English. But if it’s not easy to understand, then the next one I do’ll be in English if you all like it like that. Tell me what you think 😛 Ammu

1446. Muktha Update

      19.06.06

      1. Nanjunda (N) and Gayathri (Ga) are strolling in the thota. N tells G that she’s very pretty. Ga tells N “will you listen if I tell you something?” N says I will do anything you say. Ga tells him to have a shave and a haircut, adding that the result will make him look like a hero. Next scene, a shaven and well-groomed N appears. He stands in front of the mirror and talks to himself, admiring his looks. He in fact is in dream world and asks Ga whether he really looks like a hero. He hears someone say yes. He turns to find Gowri there, with a mischievous look in her eyes. She burst out laughing at his new look and calls ajji and thaatha to take a look at him. Ajji also laughs at him and asks him who’s responsible for this new avatar. N dodges, but Gowri teases him mercilessly and informs everyone that Ga is the reason behind the new look. She also tells everyone that he was daydreaming in front of the mirror. Thaatha rescues N from all the teasing and takes him away and has lots of advice for him on how to handle women. Thaatha says its ok to listen to your wife / girlfriend, but make sure you don’t do it in public. Even if your wife calls you, you must say “ baralla hoge”. At just that moment, Ajji calls Thaatha and instinctively he says “ haa bande”. N bursts out laughing.

      2. Aru and PK are having Breakfast. PK informs his secretary that he’s going with Aru to her native place and so he should cancel all his appointments for the next 2-3 days. Aru asks PK whether he is really interested to marry her. PK takes a moment and says yes. He asks the same question to her, and she too says yes. Aru goes to the kitchen to prepare Coffee. We see PK in his room, clutching his wife’s photograph with a wistful look in his eyes. Aru sees this, but ignores it. They prepare to leave. At that moment, PK’s daughter comes running into the hall from outside crying. PK asks her what’s wrong and she says that her grandfather is very ill and is asking for PK, and that her mother is alone. PK says that he’ll go immediately. Aru says you carry on, I’ll talk to you later.

      3. CM’s residence. It’s past midnight and Rane is waiting in the hall. CM is very angry that Rane is taking such advantage of roaming while in jail, drinking etc. He says I will write to the DG that he’s hearing of such things. Rane says you don’t worry, I have covered my tracks, even now, someone will be sleeping in my cell. No one knows that I am out. Its just a matter of 8 days, I’ll get bail and come out. CM is unhappy and asks him why he came. He says I had to discuss about election with you. And he follows that up with scolding SKD. CM says you cant scold him, he has a very good image. Rane is unhappy that CM supports SKD inspite of SKD going to Oppn to form the United Front. CM says that it’s his gut feeling that SKD will become CM, becos under Ramana Rao’s leadership, they’re sure to have a washout. Rane says he’s thought of a plan for that. He will stop projecting RR as the CM candidate, and project the existing CM as next CM. CM has objections to this, Rane says this is the only way they can counter SKD. He says that if SKD becomes CM, there is lot of problem for everyone including you. CM cannot argue and agrees meekly. Rane gets up to leave, turns back and says I heard you told your son not to contest election. If he does not contest, he can be in trouble, but if he becomes MLA, then no one will touch him. CM says you know my achilles’s heel, so you take advantage of me. Ok, do whatever you want. Rane gives a sinister smile.

1447. Ammu,

      We will read however you write. Kai Baraha, Kaal baraha… even if you keep the monitor upside down and type, we will read ‘coz we appreciate your spirit. and that is lacking in most of today’s youngsters, which you have in abundance!!

      carry on, keep sending your comments.
      good luck from all of us. keep :))….you know the rest!!

1448. Vani,

      Thanks for the update. Couldn’t watch y’day’s episode due to rains. Innumele this reason will be as common as the rains itself.

      Saw Nanjunda in another serial. Clean shaven look. That’s the reason the twist in the story to have a clean shaven look in Muktha too, I guess.

      Got a question. Is this guy acting as the Blackmailer doing his first serial or is he a common face? Acts pretty well, I thought.

1449. Thanks for the update Vani. I could not watch the serial yday too – but not because of rains 🙂
      Bellur, I agree with you that the blackmailer looks very familiar. In fact I tried to search my brain to find out if he has been my classmate or schoolmate or something. I am so sure I have seen him before.

1450. Shruthi, don’t tell me he is your relative!!

1451. I vaguely recollect seeing that person in some other serial Bellur. But who has the time to watch any other serial itself? He behaves quite menacing in spite of his subtle acting. Yeah, after a long dry spell, it rained y’day. Heard that it was heavy in South Bangalore last night.

      Ammu, I second Bellur’s opinion. Keep watching and keep writing. We appreciate your efforts and will read whatever you write. “Nade Munde –Nade Munde – Nuggi Nade Munde”.

1452. It looks like (from yesterday’s episode) Arundhati’s long (never ending) love story goLu will end soon (hopefully marrying to Manmohan), as Pramod Kumar might get re-united with his (divorced) wife.

1453. Aru will not get married until Jul 28 and even by
      chance the serial gets an extension her marriage will be again postponed for few more episodes.

1454. Remember the old Gaadhe ” Ganeshana Maduvege Noorentu Vighna” ?
      Aru maduve aaglilla andre paapa namma Nanjunda nu bachelor aagi ulibekagatheno. Then we can say ” Nanjundana Maduvege Noorentu Vighna” Aru, dayamaadi bega maduve aagamma,namma magalige line clear maadamma.
      {This spl request is from Gayathri’s parents}

1455. Yesterday looking at aru’s face next to PK , i could hear a sad note of veena instrument (or was it my imagination!!!) somehow scenes with these two remind me off those sad tunes which used to be played as background scores in old kannada/ Telugu Movies while heroine or mother or sister of hero was cheated by someone or being thrown out of the house etc (Some regular situations in old black and white movies) 😀

1456. Typically TNS finishes off serials with a function like, marriage or Satyanarayana pooja etc. Yeah even I am sure this time it will be Aru’s marriage and on July 28th 9.30PM. May be Nanjunda’s marriage will also be clubbed! Happy Chewing Gum till then 🙂

1457. yenoppa, Nam Monu beyga dod mansu maadi , has to come to aru’s house and ajji’na mathadiskondu swalpa bega decide madbeku, yakendre compared to anyone in that house, ajji is more practical, straight forward and quick in decision making….haagadre mathrane 28 July 2006 ge Aru maduve itkobodhu, jotheg nanjundandhu kooda.. yenantheera

1458. Nimma Yellara Ashiravadadinda Najunda-Gayathri hagu Mano-aru e eradu jodigalu sheegravagi avara Dhaampathya Jeevana vannu Padeyeli.

      Sanjayanna Did your parents too faced the same problems convincing you for getting you married just like Aru ????

1459. Muktha Update

      20.06.06

      PK at his Father in Law’s house. FIL on deathbed. He is upset that he has wronged PK. He says sorry for all his wrongdoings. He takes a promise from PK that he will not desert his wife. PK promises. FIL dies.
      Aru calls Gowri and informs that she won’t be going home because PK’s father in law is seriously ill. Gowri is surprised that PK is still maintaining relations with his wife. Aru says that PK’s daughter came to inform PK of the news and take him. PK called me and informed that his FIL is no more. Gowri is sad and says how ever much we try to distance ourselves from people, “Sambandhagalannu todedu haakuvudu kashta” Aru also tells her that PK’s wife had thought couple of times to come back to him. Gowri asks Aru what next. Aru says she doesn’t know and will keep Gowri informed.

      It is night and PK & wife are having a heart to heart talk. PK asks his wife whether it was true that she had thought of going back to him. She replies in the affirmative, that the thought had crossed her mind several times, but her ego prevented her from actually going to him and owning up her mistakes. She asks him whether it is true that he wants to get married again. PK replies that it was never his intention to get married to the other girl (Aru). I was attracted to her because of her nature, she has a unique quality of empathy for others, she helped me when I was in trouble, and she’s a good person. I myself am not aware how I said yes. Anyway, now I don’t feel compelled to marry her. If you are still interested, I will tell her that the marriage is off. Anyway, that was your father’s dying wish also. Let us reunite. PK’s wife does not agree, and says I don’t want to stand in the way of the other girl’s happiness; please go ahead and marry her. Anyway the final hearing in our Divorce case comes up next week. I will learn to live alone. This is the punishment for my mistakes. She starts crying.
      PK watches helplessly, but does not make any move to console her. Their daughter comes running and wants to know why mummy is crying. Anita (PK’s wife) dries her eyes. Daughter wants to go to sleep, PK wants to take leave; daughter doesn’t allow him to and gets her way, with mummy telling PK to accede to his daughter’s wish.

      AM’s house. MM is reading newspaper. SKD and a few followers arrive in a car. MM calls his mother to meet SKD. After the usual “Kushala Prashnegalu”, SKD says I hope you people are not upset with me, because I was also accused in the murder case. Both IA and MM vehemently say that they are sure that he was falsely implicated in the case. MM says he was aware that there was an attempt on SKD’s life also. It was SKD’s good fortune that he escaped, but AM’s bad luck that he was unable to save himself. SKD says that he had a lot of respect for AM because of his ideals, and that he was the one to bring SKD into the party, but towards the end, Rane and his followers have somehow taken him towards corruption. IA cries at this and says he was not so corrupt to do anything to be the CM. This was his last chance to sit on the CM’s chair. His desire killed him. SKD hastens to console her and says I never meant to upset you. IA asks him the reason for his visit. SKD says that he along with the opposition has formed a Front to contest the elections together, and that he wants to field her from AM’s constituency for the election. IA refuses and says she doesn’t want to be involved. She also says that Ramana Rao had called her and promised to make her the Dy CM, but she said that she will definitely not stand for election from his party. She says I just don’t want to be involved in politics. SKD then asks her to give permission for MM to contest. She refuses at first, saying one person has been sacrificed from my family, I don’t want another. SKD persuades her to allow MM to contest. MM is at first doubtful about different ideologies clashing in the Front, SKD explains the common agenda they have framed and at the end IA agrees for MM to contest.

1460. Hello All,

      Am off on a much needed break from tomorrow…will be back only on Monday. Shruthi / Ammu… please take over the updates. I’ll do it from Monday’s episode.

      Thanks, Vani

1461. Including today, if July 28 happens to be the last episode of muktha, it s going to be exact 28 more episodes in total … I hope they should be able to fit in appropriate finish to election, campaign, results, aru’s marriage, najunda’s marriage, annapoornamma’s will/property matter, Gauri and Chinamyi’s union , madhavi patel life and career, Rane’s and chabria’s punishment and other misc settlements of PK, blackmailer, mahesh-madhuvanthi, srikantha’s business etc..hope they will be able to..

      Now i have a question… what happens to all of us (Muktha fans ) later, i think i would be jobless between 9-9.30 everyday… since i am not a regular television viewer..
      What do we discuss/share in this platform later?

      any opinions..suggestions?

1462. Usha, I have already stopped watching Muktha! Main reason is work. So I seriously have no problems with being jobless form 9 to 9 30 – am already getting used to it 😀
      About what to discuss on this forum – I personally have no idea. Maybe we should just keep it going, and see what turns up. If you notice, most of our discussion stems off from the topic of the serial into something else, and we talk a lot about stuff other than Muktha 🙂 So it might go on. But if we all want to unite with a common purpose, it will be a good thing.
      Also, I will not be able to do the updates in Vani’s absence. So I think it is left to Ammu. Or if anybody else can pitch in, it will be great!

1463. Yenu khushiyagi helthidare nodri Shruthi, ‘Muktha’ nodalla antha. Thumba jana nillisbittiddare nododu, including your’s truly. Adhu bere vishya bidi. Aadroo, avaru KHUSHIYAAGI helkondralla, adhu POINTU.

      By the way, Crime Diary on Monday and Tuesday was really good.
      Monday’s episode was a special one as Ravi Belagere himself appeared on the screen and spoke about it. It was about Tejaswini Sriramesh filing a complaint against another Congressman saying he pushed and touched her bla bla bla. Now that is not the crux of the story. It seems Tejaswini had filed a case against Ravi Belagere few years back saying that he had threatened her over phone(Over what? I forgot). The court gave judgement in favour of Ravi just a week back saying there was no solid proof.

      Typical of Ravi, he told in the end, “When my wife only doesn’t get scared over phone if I threaten, how can I expect anybody else to get scared?”

      He made funny comments about Tejaswini’s talking style of HALPA PRAANA MAHAAFRAANA (Eg: Dhro-ee, Fraafit). He told in the end that Tejaswini must stop pursuing her hobby of giving baseless complaints and to serve the party by giving respect to elders.

      And y’day’s episode was special too as it spoke about Rajiv Gandhi’s assassinators, Shubha, Sivarasan and Dhanu. How they planned everything, how they got into the house in Konanakunte and so on. And the movie that is based on this incident, CYANIDE. Malavika and Avinash spoke about the movie and the characters they play in the movie. (Malavika plays Shubha and Avinash plays Inspector Kempaiah).

      It was nice to see these two episodes which had different stories from the usual murder and suicide cases.

1464. What is this Bellur, khushiyaagi yenu heLalilla naanu 😀

      Halpapraana Mahafraana!!! 😀 😀 I am laughing out here in office, and people are staring at me 😀

1465. Heylooo!
      I actually have to go soon but anyway since you guys were saying in the comments that T.N.S. typically finishes off the serial with a wedding or something, did any of you watch E-nota. I’m guessing you wouldn’t have :P! I watch practically every show on ETV it’s the only Kannada channel we have with MAJOR EXCEPTIONS to the boring ones. Anyway, on E-nota, they were discussing about Muktha and thy interviewed some of the people there. I’m sorry, I don’t know the name, but he was there in your get-together. That man said keep watching because we have a great end and you’ll be gripping the ends of your seat. SO keep watching, it might not be Nanjunda and Aru’s marriage.
      I can’t do yesterdays update either, so someone else will have to do it. :P! I’ll do today’s episode tomorrow though coz I have too tape and watch. But if anyone else can do it, plz do, I have some guests over at our house and I don’t know whether I can do it.

      Ammu :P! Keep :P!!!

1466. Rolling out laughing 😀 😛 over that Halpapraana Mahafraana!
      Guys, you talk of watching Muktha on TV, believe me i couldnt even open this site for a loooooong looooooong time.. 🙁 I guess I have to take a leave and read out all the pending messages here 🙂
      As shruti suggested, we shud be discussing something, not specifically muktha to keep the spirit up.

      welllllll…. 🙂

1467. After the court scenes, nothing of much interest in Muktha. A brief update about yesterday was Parvata reddy and SP Vernekar are out on parole to manipulate elections. they come to meet RR along with muniyappa for election funds. muniyappa says he took 200 lorry loads of people (8000-10000) to file nomination whereas opposition candidate came there with only 30-40 people.

      lokesh, sitting MLA comes to RR’s house for election funds, says he got only 5 lakhs as election fund. RR takes him inside and speaks to him.

      SKD talks to MP about contesting elections against govinda reddy, borhter of parvata reddy. govinda reddy is contesting elections as a chela of Rane in dhavalagiri constituency. if you win against him, it will be your victory against Rane and injustice ityaadi ityaadi emballige nenneya muktha sanchike mugiyitu.

      I have just given a brief and even the flow is not proper. so dayavittu adjust makidondu bidi.

1468. Mukta Update
      21-06-06
      Scene 1

      Two car’s park in front of Ramana Rao’s house, a prospective MLA (Rane’s arty) gets out of the car, and his followers greet him with Jai kara’s . (name should be Yogesh/Mahesh). Ramana Rao is annoyed by the noise, but the prospective tells them they are creating election environment and his followers , he cannot discourage them. RR keeps quiet, when RR tries to settle the nomination/campaign expenses prospective demands more (20 L+) RR will call him to side, handover a note to be given to Shashtri (Chabria’s Mgr) and collect money, the prospective leaves happily and is greeted by Muniyappa outside and enquires hif he collected token and when prospective confirms muniappa wishes him to enjoy . Muniappa along with parvatha reddy and govinda reddy enters RR’s house and informs RR that he files nomination previous day with 200 Lorry load people and spent lot etc. RR enquires about opp party candidate and muniappa explains that she is from Raitha Sangha and he assures that everything is planned in his territory and he is sure to win against her etc.

      Scene 2

      RR asks about parvatha reddy’s arriva, muniappa informs him he was instructed by rane to introduce them to RR. Parvatha reddy and govinda reddy want to talk privately about the election arrangements. They will all go inside and start discussing, Parvatha reddy plans to poach 17 candidates from opposite party , he mentions out 142 constitencies, 42 of our people are sure to win, 17 have been bought out, 15 will be kidnapped which makes around 74, in other places they have planned rowdy elements posting and will take over booths, supply liquor and forcibly get people to vote our candidates etc. He presents blue print of the plan. Meanwhile RR looks worried and wants to talk to parvatha reddy separately next day but he denies stating he has to go and tackle CSP and finish him this time, according to Rane’s instructions. They also discuss about money matters and say the expenses will come to 20 Crores and RR will call Shashtri again to make arrangements and asks muniappa to go along with them next day to meet shashtri and collect money.

      Scene 3

      SKD comes to MP’s house and after formality talks, SKD will ask MP where she had been and she replies that she had gone to visit Swamiji of Hemgiri who helped her when police was looking for her and took his blessings, she says swamiji is happy about victory to truth . SKD enquires if she’s happy with the judgement, she says other failures in my life have overtaken that victory , She mentions about CSP’s fees and her borrowings, SKD assures her that he will be taking care of CSP’s fees and has taken 1 month time, SKD is curious, MP tells him that her husband is back in town, living separately and may want to settle down with a second marriage etc. She feels guilty that she could not save AM and was used as pawn in Rane’s game, Ranganath, her subordinate cheated her etc. She expresses her eagerness to join duty in coming week itself , but SKD advices her to join politics and contest in the election, MP denies first stating she is happy working in Police dept and wants to serve people, and afraid of politics and kind of people involved, SKD convinces her stating his example and also informs her that she can serve more number of people if she becomes a minister, SKD also tells her that Rane’s chela govindareddy is the contestant in Dhavalagiri (Ranes constituency) and victory against him will vwin against Rane itself, and he feels MP is the right person for that he also says he too is taking chance in politics for the last time, MP agrees to contest.

1469. Yes, we shud talk about other stuff, but I think not untill Muktha is actually over, it would be silly to discuss other things on a website dedicated to something when that something is still running. Anyway, keep smiling :P!!!

1470. Hmmm Usha, it was ex-inspector Varnekar, not Govinda Reddy that accompanied Parvata Reddy. Both, rowdies, accomplices of Rane in his sinful deeds. Now out of jail on parol for about three months. And there is one more character called Govinda Reddy, who is Parvatha Reddy’s brother and of cource another Rowdy cum Rane’s chela, who would contest from Rane’s constituency and vacate the place once Rane comes out on bail to become cm.

1471. thx Shrikanth for guiding

      since i started watching muktha only after Gowri and purushottam’s story line began(Chinnarika+ Gowri’s England trip) , i think this parvata reddy’s case was much before all these, i have no clue about those charecters.. of course i couldnt help laughing as parvatha reddy suits his name :D,

1472. Prabably TNS took his name after watching Anant Nag’s movie “Narada Vijaya”. In that movie, MP Shankar is nicknamed as Mamsa parvata.

1473. Usha, Srik, Subbaramu – thanks for the update! 😀

1474. Thursday’s Muktha Update

      Scene One
      ————–
      G = Gowri
      N = Nanjunda
      A = Ajji

      G: Did you find Jagadish?
      N: No, they said he was on leave. Why did you want to know so badly?
      G: I’m feeling a bit suspicious…
      N: About what?
      G: Annapurnamma’s will.
      N: Oh…tell me Gowri, do you have eyes onn her property or anything?
      A: Why would you ask such a thing? You’re turning into Srikant! No, of course she doesn’t want their property!
      N: No,no, I mean, Gowri, will you take the property if she has it written for you? Do you want the property?
      G: No, I don’t want it, even if I did get it, I’d give it away.
      N: Well if you don’t care about the will, why do you want to know so much?
      G: I think Mahesh and Madhuvanti are up to something. They are not letting Chinnu have anything. When Madhavi Patel’s case was going on, I couldn’t go to Chinnu’s house. That time they told me that Chinnu was in Madras, but she wasn’t, they had locked her in the house and were hitting her. I think they are up to something. I don’t exactly know what.
      N: Why are you feeling so suspicious?
      G: When I went to their house the other day, I overheard a man and Mahesh talking. The man was saying ‘don’t worry, I won’t let anyone know about this new will’ I thought it might have been Jagadish, so I asked you to go and find out so I could talk to him.
      N: Oh, I didn’t know it was like this, I’ll go once again and find out properly.

      Scene Two
      —————-
      N = Nanjunda
      G = Gowri
      A: Ajji
      T: Taa Taa
      SP: Sheela Prasad
      SKD = Siv Krishna Desai

      Nanjunda is talking on the phone.
      N: Ok, I’ll be there in half an hour.
      A: Nanjunda, why are you so caught up in the politics issues?
      N: No, Ajji, I’m supporting SKD.
      A: Well, just be safe
      N: Yes Ajji, Taa Taa, will you come with me?
      T: No, I’m a bit tired.

      SP and SKD are talking to each other

      SP: Oh, great to see you here SKD, what brings you here?
      SKD: If you don’t mind, I’ll ask you a question…I heard that you refused to stand for the election on Rane’s party.
      SP: Yes, how could I stand for an election supporting people that were going to kill my husband?
      SKD: Forgive me, I’ve come to talk about the same thing…have you heard about our new approach to the election?
      SP: Ahh, yes, I’ve heard about it on the paper and the T.V. Really, it’s a great idea.
      SKD: It’s not that easy. The election is getting closer and there are many new changes. We think we can win because RR’s image is not that great. But HP is standing for election for Rane. Parvatt Reddy and S.P. Varnekar are on parole. We also want as many women to stand for the lection as we can get. So, I want to ask you whether you’ll stand for election for us…
      SP: No, I’m sorry. “ Rane partyalli atiyaada roudism ide, nimm partiyalli atiyaada, aadrasha.” Sorry.
      SKD: Don’t worry, it’s your opinion. But are you saying that there shouldn’t be honesty?
      SP: No, I’m saying that honesty can’t fill your stomach. I can’t feed and clothe my children with honesty. There’s another reason I don’t want to stand for the election. I’m scared. I was supposed to stand for Rane, but now if I stand for you, will he leave me alone? No. He could do something to me or my family. Please forgive me. I can’t stand for the election.
      SKD: Oh well, if you don’t want to, I’ll respect your decision. Tomorrow is the nomination, if you change your mind, please come along.

      PK: No, when you have already convinced your family, I can’t marry her.
      AD: Your love cannot be erased, marry her, it’s the only thing to do.If you had known she wanted to get back together before, wouldn’t you have agreed? Now if you reject this, I’ll feel guilty. Don’t worry about me. I’m telling you as a friend and well wisher, please don’t move further away from her. If you don’t mind, can I tslk to him?
      PK: You?
      AD: Yes me.
      PK: Alright.

      BYE BYE 😛 ! 😀 !

1475. Subburamu, I love that dialog “neenu bari mamsa parvatavalla, parvaagilla swalpa mattakke buddhi nu idde…” and at times have used it on one of my friends 😈

1476. Great update, Ammu!
      I hope you are not spending too much time and effort on this! I know I am displaying my doDDakka characteristics, but I think you should not do the update if it is at the cost of more important things. :O

1477. sanjay, sooper aa cinema yarigu gnapakave irolla andukondidde, dialogue sameta heltiddira. amruta, nimma sadhyada kelasaveno gottilla, adare chitrarangakke taavu paadaarpane madidare nimmantahavarige olleya bhavishyavide, enantira :).

1478. Heylo 😛 !
      No, I’m not wasting time, I like doing it and I have holidays anyway so I don’t have anything to do for half the day. 😛 ! Besides,my Dad helps me so it gets over and done with quite quickly. 😛 ! Thanks for your concern :P! But dw.

      Ammu keep (you know the rest) 😛 !!

1479. Heylo again.
      HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA thankyou Subbaramu!

1480. Oh, Ammu – holidays??? Great!! Haagadare sari 🙂

1481. Hahaha Shruthi Akka,

      Actually, I’m so bored, all I’ve been doing is reading and writing. So this is a good thing. I like doing it. 😛 !

      Keep 😛 !
      Ammu

1482. Hi people

      Nowadays the serial update and 2-3 comments are the contents of this blog, why dont we try to make it little more interesting ….alongwith the regular updates,we can post our imaginative further story and finish of mukta, maybe it gets intersting to comment further…

1483. Ammu,
      Your dad may not like if you gave out his tricks to us. Be careful of that next time. Enjaay the haalidays.

      Usha,
      Imaginative finish to ‘Mukta’: Version 1:
      Gowri will marry Swamiji. ]Out of the box thinking[

1484. No Bellur,
      I was kidding 😛 ! He doesn’t mind 😛 .

      Ammu
      Keep 😛 !

1485. This is really a great thing, I got to see this section only 2 days back (Courtesy, RK Bellur’s web blog –> Link through Churumuri). I had visited Sanjay’s blog earlier sometime last year but had not noticed this. I couldn’t read all the 50 pages but browsed the recent ones!!

      I generally watch Mukta during its 11:00 pm telecast (9:00pm is the time where people at home would be busy watching other channels & my work + hosur road traffic would anyway take me home late :-))

1486. My comments got cut for half.

      Having discussion on Imaginative finish to ‘Mukta’ is a good idea. Or we can also debate on any episodes

      In day before yesterday’s episode, Madhavi patel gets easily convinced about why she needs to to contest in elections. I was quite disappointed with this decision!!

      Is it fun/great being a minister rather than being an IPS officer ?

1487. Muktha Update
      Friday’s Episode

      Scene One
      ————–
      IP = Indra Prasad
      G = Gowri
      N = Nanjunda
      H = Hamsa
      A = Arundhathi
      PK = Pramod Kumar

      IP comes to G’s house and looks at all the SKD posters. N greets her. IP asks what’s all this SKD stuff? N says they are supporting him in the election. She goes inside and talks to G.
      G: When did you come from London?
      IP: Just yesterday. When I went there, the research scientists told me that we should lauch Shakti Dravya as will click really well.
      G: Oh really…I don’t know whether Mahesh will agree to this. If we want to lauch this production, we’ll need about 50 lakh…where will I get that much money from? I’ll seee, I’ll talk to Mahesh.

      A: Hamsaveni? Hamsaveni?
      H: Who is it?
      A: Arundhathi
      H: Oh, come in.

      They oth stand and look at each other. An uncomfortable silence follows.

      A: Sorry, I shouldn’t have come without informing you first.
      H: No, no, don’t feel bad. I just didn’t know what to say… Would you like something to drink?
      A: No, it’s fine.
      H: Please,you’ve come for the first time, please take something.
      A: In that case, “neevu coffee tumba channagi maadtiranta Pramod…” sorry, “nimm husband heltaare.”
      H: Don’t worry.

      She gives the coffee to Aru.

      A: Mmm, the coffee is very nice, what your husband says is true….aren’t you upset that I’m marrying your husband? Don’t you still love him?
      H: Please don’t ask me such questions…
      A: Look, I’m not the type of girl that marries a man when I know another woman loves him. Let me be clear to you, this marriage is not a marriage of love, it’s a marriage of benefit. I’m marrying him so he’s not alone. You’re still there in his mind. Why are you still going further and further apart?
      H: To a woman, there is nothing worse than loneliness. I never felt like this when my father was still alive. When PK asked me to come with him, I rejected him, now how can I go to him? I’ll look so cheap.
      A: Look these are not proper excuses. You know that if you go to PK, he’ll gladly welcome you. Please, you and PK should get back to get together.

      G: No, no, let her play, I actually came to talk to MV and M.
      Mangala: OK, I’ll get them.
      G: One minute! They aren’t hitting Chinnu anymore are they?
      Mangala: No. I’ll get them.
      G: OK.

      MV and M come.

      M: You wanted to see us?
      G: Yes, some official issues.
      MV: If they’re official issues, then come to the office.
      G: Ok, I’ll leave, I’ll come to the office to talk to you.

      G: Ok, you eat and then we’ll talk.
      M: No, if you don’t mind, can you come with us? We’ll talk while eating.
      G: Ok.

      They sit down.

      M: Mangala! Bring the food!
      M: Ok, what did you want to talk about?
      G: Yeah, IP has come back from London and –
      M: MANGALA! Bring the food!
      G: She has come back and she said that when she went there –
      M: Hurry up Mangala! Yes, what were you saying?
      G: She said that the research scientists there said that we should immediately lauch the Kempu Sanjivini Soppu product and –
      M: Finally, Mangala! Yes?
      G: [very irritated] Look Sir, I’ve come to talk about the office, if you’re going to listen please listen properly. I’ll be waiting outside, when you finish come and talk otherwise we’ll meet up in the office.

      MV and M come to the living room.

      M: Ok, what did you want to talk about?
      G: IP came back from London and she said that the research scientist said that if we lauch Shakti dravya, it will click really well!
      MV: That factory is part of your estate; you are in charge of it, why do you come to us?
      G: I know, but where will I get that much money? I’ll need at least 50 lakh.Annapurnamma had said she’ll support me when we start the Shakti dravya project.
      MV: Just because she said that then, doesn’t mean we have to give you the money now.
      M: Well, I don’t think that this a good idea anyway.
      G: Oh really? Well then let’s hold a Board of Director’s meeting and see what the majority think and then take a decision eh? I’ll make a move now.

      Scene Three
      —————
      H = Hamsa
      PK = Pramod Kumar
      A = Arundhathi
      PKD = PK’s daughter

      H is standing in the doorway.
      PKD’s daughter runs up to PK and says DADDY!!
      PK: Oh! You came yourself?
      PKD: No, Mummy I also here.
      PK looks at the door.
      PK: H? Come in! Why are you standing there?
      H and A walk in.
      H walks up to PK.
      H: Will you forgive me? I’ve given you a lot of pain. I’ve left you alone for so long. What I did was wrong. Please forgive me. Will you take me to be your wife again?
      PK: When have I said no to that? You should also forgive me too.
      A: Wish you best of luck!
      H: Thankyou Aru.
      A: That is alright. Just remember…you have to take me out to dinner ok?
      H: Definetly.
      A: Ok, I’ll leave.
      PK: Wait! If I hurt you, please forgive me.
      A: No, no Sir. It is fine. Bye, I have to leave. Someone is waiting for me.

      H, PK and PKD all wave her goodbye.

      Bye!
      Keep 😛 !
      Ammu

1488. WHERE IS EVERYONE????
      Lol, I’ve haven’t seen any new stuff since FRIDAY’S UPDATE! Hehe, 😛 !
      Anyway, I have to go. Been on computer too long 😛 .

      Btw, do you think Arundhathi’s marriage will nd the serial, I’m not sure bcoz it looks like her problems nearly solved……then again….oh well

      Keep 😛 !!

1489. Hey, I tried clicking on the character cast list to show someone, but it’s coming up a different spot…wondering why. Maybe u need to update it 😀 !

      Keep 😛 !

1490. I feel Aru might end up being like gowri (unmarried) if again her ego comes in between to decide to marry Manmohan.

      What if SKD and party win the election….?

      Looks like MP is going to be home minister… controlling all SP’s 🙂

      Yes veena, MP’s role weightage is diluted little bit after Court case…she might be feeling low becoz of soem incidents in her personal life(Prabhanjan, Arunachalamurthy etc)

1491. Usha,
      Remember this game with marbles that we played. You skip one marble over the other and remove the skipped marble. Finally one or two marbles are left.

      Just replace Gowri and Arundathi instead of the marbles!

1492. In my view, the ending will be victory of Satya over the power and adharma i.e. victory of SKD and co over Rane and co.

1493. Bellur,

      Taking your thought of getting Gowri and Swamiji forward, do you feel TNS would take the risk of getting into the back book of the conservative lot who are also a large portion of the viewers? I’ve seen many times in Samvaadas, specially in the rural areas, people arent taking kindly to this.

      Personally I feel that it would be a daring yet good move to get Gowri and Swamiji married. Of course, now a lot of water has passed under the bridge, we have to wait and see if either of them are still keeping any sort of feelings towards each other alive.

1494. Just found out that Etv will be a oay channel i think only here though. But it will take around 5 months for it to become a pay channel.
      Hehe 😛 Welllll keep smiling 😛 !
      Ammu 😛 !

1495. To add to Usha’s comment on Gowri & swamiji’s saga. I don’t think TNS will end in this way. But yes, they show sometime that Gowri still has some soft corner towards swamiji(when she takes the name Niranjana satyadeva for what ever reason). Probably he might think of bringing a new hero for Gowri or swamiji leaving the Mutt once again. I wonder when few(or all I don’t know) of the sapta rishi’s were married, why are they stopping this swamiji to stay away with the Loukika aase…!

      Why are the characters like Purushotam, Dr.Sanjeev, Dr. Maitreyi are back seated now ?? MP’s character is totally diluted. Wonder why are they bringing so much ego issue between her & Prabanjan.. This unnecessarily hypes that two professionals can’t make a nice couple (which isn’t true).

      Hey does anyone has TNS email id or phone number, I had met him during his visit to US, I have a photo also :-). He had asked me to call him when I return back to India…. My phone book got destroyed due to virus attack & lost his contacts.

      Have a great day/evening,
      Veena

1496. I agree with Veena. Viewers are very impressionable. The moment a woman is portrayed as career-oriented, most serials show the next step as the marriage breaking. [Of course, I know there are many other factors in MP’s marriage}. There should be a right balance between home and office, not only for women, but also for the men. Then any kind of success in personal life or career is possible.

      I keep suggesting strange happenings in the serial all the time 😀 .. I had suggested that Dr. Sarangapani would fall in love with Sharvani(judge’s daughter), and he would not listen to Rane, and will not have a part in blackmailing the judge 😀 But sadly that failed 🙂

      Right now I am not watching Muktha regularly… Too much work at office. Hopefully the situation will change now. Once i can start watching again, I will come back with some more outrageous twists to the plot :))

      In Ammu’s style, “keep smiling” 🙂

1497. Shruthi Continuing the strange twists, how about Rane turning out to be a saint, maybe replace swamiji and allow present swamji to marry Gowri, Now for heavens sake, one of us should volunteer to go to indira arunachala murthy’s house asking manmohan’s hand for aru. As you all know she wont take a step ahead otherwise…:D Gowri’s marriage wth swamji looks more like a possibility than manmohan and aru’s marriage-:D

      I have observed that in movies as well as small screen many projections of career oriented women being shown as bad homemakers, which i do not agree.As shruthi said, the message to mass given and the impressions it creates are disastrous. There are enough successful women who have made their career as well as home, looked after children etc Best example here would be Kiran Bedi http://www.kiranbedi.com , one of my inspiration for having a positive attitude in life.

      In today’s world of mobile communication , internet technology etc, i guess aru can easily convey it to manmohan to take the first step of approach for alliance…

      Chhabria V/s junaria brothers seems to be an interesting twist, maybe SKD too will be drawn towards compromises for the elections. Here i would like to quote Sheela prasad’s stand , where she clearly stated her opinion about Politics and adarsha’s , which cannot go hand in hand.

1498. I am also a great fan of Kiran Bedi 🙂

      Here is another twist. Manmohan comes to meet Aru. Gayatri would have also come. Manmohan and Gayatri fall in love and get married *evil grin* 😀 😀

1499. Shruthi, papa nanjundana tale mele yake kallu hakta idira. at least avanadru maduve madikollali. Arundathi emba egoistic character madve agli anta kayta kootre, avanu innu 7 janmakku maduve agakke sadhyavilla.

      Bellur, probably TNS portraying the swamiji and Gowri case was to link up with the swamiji of Kukke Subramanya, Sh. Vidyabhushana, who came out of sanyasa and married.

1500. Subbaramu,

      Even I had the same case of ‘Vidyabhushan’ in mind. I remember when he was still a swamiji, he used to come to Vidwan RK Srikantan’s house to learn music. And the whole house used to be sprinkled with water. And no women would be allowed to walk around. The house would have MATAda atmosphere. No clothes/cushions on chairs and nobody idling around.

      “Ishtella aadmele nodidre, aa swamiji yaro hengasanna kattikondu MATAdinda oedihodru” antha NYUSU!!

1501. Muktha Update

      26.06.06

      Hi all,

      Update will be a little concise today, as I could start watching only after the first break, I heard the first part from 2 of my relatives and am putting together what I heard.

      So, here goes:
      ____________________________________________________________

      Mahesh and Madhuvanthi are discussing about Gowri’s proposal about Dhavalagiri Plant. Madhu is apprehensive that Gowri may be successful in convincing the Board of Directors to approve the sanction of Rs 50 Lakhs for her project. Mahesh says he’s thought of a plan for them to avoid shelling the money once for all. He says that the important information regarding the Kempu Sanjeevini Soppu are in Dr Indira Prasad’s computer, what if the information itself is made inaccessible? The whole issue can be brushed off citing lack of necessary supporting documents.

      Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. Ajji, Nanjunda and Gowri are speaking. Few of Nanjunda’s friends come over and inform him that one of their campaign offices has caught fire. Nanjunda suspects Rane’s followers to have a hand in the affair. He prepares to go, Gowri is scared and doesn’t want him to get involved, but Nanjunda is adamant and gets ready. Aru alights from an auto and goes inside, she sees that her house is full of posters and banners in support of SKD. She teases Nanjunda about it, but he’s leaving and says he’ll come back and tell her all the details. Gowri, Aru, Amma and Ajji continue to talk. Everyone wants to know if Pramod Kumar’s family issue has been solved. Aru replies in the affirmative that she was successful in making the couple get back together. Amma and Gowri then tell Aru to meet MM and discuss their future plans.

      Party Meeting of SKD’s group. SKD’s followers inform him that 13 of their candidates have withdrawn their nominations. SKD is surprised and wants to know why this happened, his party workers inform him that Ramana Rao’s people have been bribing our candidates to withdraw their nominations, so this problem has cropped up. Also there is shortage of funds in our party, RR’s people are spending nearly a crore per candidate, we have to spend atleast 10% of that, that is 10 Lakhs, or in the worst case, we have to spend at least 5 Lakhs. It is getting difficult. One of the Party Workers says that he knows some industrialist (Didn’t catch his name) who wants to finance the election, as he was against Chhabria and he wants to give Rs 50 Crores for election. SKD is against this as he feels that the govt will again become a puppet in the hands of industrialists, but Party Workers say that they cannot do anything. SKD asks them time to think for a day, and everyone leaves. SKD tells one person Dasappa to meet him in the evening at his residence.

      Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. Purushottam arrives and Aru greets him very enthusiastically. Aru is subjected to lot of teasing from everyone regarding her relationship with MM. Ajji is having a different point of view in that she feels that Aru should get married to someone else and not MM, because Aru has been subjected to so much of trouble from MM’s parents, first it was AM, then it was IA who asked her to stay away from MM. These rich people have no value for our feelings. Aru says that it was she who had the option of going by what MM’s parents said. She could have gone otherwise, but she chose to stay away. Gowri says Aru is in love with MM and it’s only fair that they should get married. Ajji says I have no objection, but let the proposal come from their side, let us not go there with the proposal. Amma seconds this. We are shown Aru with a worried and sad face.

1502. Bellur,

      At least one thing was clear, he did not want to be under wraps like so many other swamiji’s do, continuing with sanyasa activities in foreground and gruhasthashrama activities in background (hidden mode :)). at least he was able to come to a decision and walked out firmly, what do you say.

1503. Thanks for the update, Vani!

1504. Lots of stories have been circulated about that episode Bellur… one version I heard was that his present wife had challenged her friends that she would make the swamiji a grihastha… and that she used to visit Kukke Subramanya often…but he has shown lot of courage in openly marrying her. I dont know if you have heard of Sri Rama Seva Mandali in Chamrajpet, who have been conducting Ramanavami Music Concert for the past 67 years… I am very closely associated with the mandali on a personal level, and in fact
      the first music concert that Vidya Bhushan gave after marriage was here. The Mandali openly encouraged him after his marriage. I feel that it was a very bold move, opposing the conservative lot to take such a step. Also goes on to show that Sanyaasa should not be forced but opted for, because it requires a great strength of mind.

1505. Vani, you have got some clear cut points.

      Good to hear that you are associated with Sri Rama Seva Mandali, which has brought all national and international musicians/singers to perform for them.

1506. Shruthi,

      Nanjunda may commit suicide if he hears of this… 😉
      Gayathri rotti jaari tuppadalli bidda haage!

      Usha avaru helida haage better if someone volunteered to meet Indira Arunachala Murthy and take things forward. Illa andre a over-swaabhimaani Aru kanye aagi ulidubidthaale.

      Somehow I feel TNS wants to glorify sacrifice and suffering…yaakandre avara maneyalli yellaru sikkapatte olleyavaru and yellarigu yeno ondu kashta lifenalli. Little too ridiculous for me.

1507. Vani, I agree with you on all counts 😉

      By coming out of Sanyaasa, he has shown a lot of courage. And it is always better do do this other than indulge in underhand activities, like some people I don’t want to name.

      And hats off to the Seva Mandali!

      Yes, suffering and sacrifice is glorified here.. That is one reason I really liked Sheela Prasad’s beliefs. Her views and ideas are practical and normal. A refreshing change from too goody-goody characters. We tend to feel that people like Gowri maneyavaru cannot exist (or do we feel that way living in the city??) – but we feel that people like Sheela Prasad do exist.

1508. Vani,
      Great to know that you are associated with Rama Seva Mandali. Continue the good work.

      Yes, I also agree that one should be asked before making him/her a Sanyasin. You need to be disciplined and be prepared for a life as a Sanyasin. And I remember an episode in Ravi belagere’s ‘Crime Diary’ where a young kid was kidnapped to make him a ‘Sanyasin’ and was later rescued and the parents got him back.

      In the olden days, there was no such things as taking one’s opinion in case of marriage or when someone took ‘Sanyasatva’. Maybe people were afraid to break conventional ways. But things have changed a lot now. It was indeed daring of Sri Vidyabhushan to come out. And I too appreciated his bold move. It is another thing that he is not happy as a Gruhastha. And his health is also not very good as I have heard from him. That’s fate.

1509. In fact, in the olden days, the elders never even asked the younsters which color/type of dress they liked, forget about their views on the type of girl or boy they were to marry.

      There is this saying: Youngsters think elders are fools. But elders KNOW youngsters are fools!

1510. Bellur,

      How true. Hane barahakke Yaaru Hone? Guess it goes to prove
      once again the Doorada Betta Nunnage philosophy.
      And we see more people like Sheela Prasad in society than the Goody Family of Mallikarjun Swamy & Co. At least, sadyada situation nalli we don’t find such “Gandhi” (to borrow a phrase from Rane)people around us anymore. many times this Adarsha thing goes overboard, in fact many of the famous naxal leaders I’ve read about have been Adarshavaadigalu who’ve been disillusioned with society and the system.

1511. I think Sheela Prasad talks about practical things. While on one side she also wants to be comfortable in life, she makes sure that she also follows certain good policies/etiquettes in life (not too much aadarshavadi). Maintains a mix n match of aadarsha as well as ityaadi ityaadi.

1512. About citizen awareness and volunteerism i got info on movement ‘Janaagraha’ http://www.janaagraha.org/resource/hrvm_signup.htm, working in various awareness programs, maybe useful to few intd in Social service….

1513. Thinking whether the BLACKMAILER’S PARTNER is none other than SRIKANTA SWAMY?

1514. Ayyo! iddaru irbahudu Bellur… my dad was also of the same idea…illa andre ashtu detail aagi avara mane vichaara yella hege gottagthittu?

      In fact, the first time I saw the blackmailer, I thought Gowri was behind him.

1515. Muktha is now getting a conceptual show than being a reality show, as it was till now. In reality, there cant be a situation where in all the parties come together in the name of adarsha, and there wont be a lady like madhuvanti(im not sure, in this case).

1516. Hi all

      What was the jist of yesterday’s episode? Brazil’s match with Ghana overtook Muktha yesterday :D. I could watch last scene some prasad handing over 10 crores :O to SKD, i suppose he is a new entrant…

1517. Hey Usha 😛 !

      Basically what happened was:

      Mangala called Gowri in the middle of the night and says that she overheard Mahesh and Madhuvanti talking and they were saying that they were planning to steal the formula of the product that uses Kempu Sanjivini Soppu. Gowri says thankyou for telling me and then she calls Indra Prasad and tells her to come over immediately with the CD containing the formula. Indra Prasad does so and they sit outside to talk because everyone is sleeping inside. Gowri tells Indra Prasad what Mangala told her and then asks her to give the CD with the formula to her because Mahesh is going to steal it. She says that because he thinks it is with you if I have it and he tries to make an attempt to stealing it from you, let him, because you wont have it anyway.

      That’s the jist but Vani Akka said she’ll give the detailed update later 😛 !

      Keep Smiling ! 😛 !
      Ammu

1518. Thx ammu, for the episode details

      keep 😀

1519. Hello All,

      Will do the update in another 2 hours time…it was ready but got wiped out as there was some problem in my comp.

      Please bear for another 2 hours.

      Thanks

1520. Im bearing Vani Akka, I’m bearing.
      and everyone SMILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 😛 !

1521. oh boy its crazy when that kind of thing happens! 😕 Very brave of you Vani to make a re-attempt!

      Had a guest at home, yesterday was one incredible day when we didn’t on the TV for the *entire day*!

1522. Whoa!
      AN ENTIRE DAY! You must have been so bored!
      Hahahahaha jk.
      Keep smiling 😛
      Ammu

1523. Ha haa… same here Usha, Brazil vs. Ghana scored over Muktha :)) Though I did watch a bit at the end.
      Basically SKD would have bought some land from a teacher of his, because the teacher was in trouble long back, and he plans to sell it off to raise election money. coincidentally the teacher’s son comes and offers double the value of the site, as a return favour, as that son is currently doing well in life.
      More details by the very patient Vani! :O

1524. Soccer fever will grip some of us temporarily. Maybe, we will always remain the game’s romantics who become a Brazilian or an Argentine once in every four years!

      I have written about the ‘football fever’that grips Indians in a few blogs. Do visit them @

1525. Muktha Update

      27.06.06

      1. Late at night. Phone rings in Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. Nanjunda answers. On the other side is Mangala, the maidservant in Annapurnamma’s house. She asks to speak to Gowri. Gowri is first anxious that something may have happened to Chinnu; Mangala assures her that it is not Chinnu but something else. She then tells her of Mahesh’s plan to steal the data from Dr Indira Prasad’s computer. Gowri asks about the whereabouts of Mahesh and Madhu, Mangala informs that they have gone to some party and will be back quite late. Gowri thanks her for the info and rings up immediately to Dr Indira Prasad and requests her to come over along with the CD containing the data on the kemp Sanjeevini Soppu immediately. Nanjunda wants to know why she looks so worried, but she tells him that she’ll answer him tomorrow and that he should go back to sleep, else everyone will wake up.

      2. Indira Prasad arrives at Gowri’s house. Gowri apologizes for putting her into trouble at that time of the night. She tells her what Mangala had informed. She also tells Indira Prasad about the meeting that took place between herself, Mahesh and Madhuvanthi and their reluctance to grant the necessary funds for beginning the production. She further informs that she has asked for a board meeting to be convened on this issue. Further, she says that Mahesh and Madhu are apprehensive that the board will approve the grant of the money, and so they are trying all sorts of devious means to stop it, including stealing the formula from Dr Indira Prasad. Indira Prasad is unable to comprehend why Mahesh is so bent upon such things. Gowri says that he wants to malign both her name and Dr Indira Prasad’s name, as it was on these two’s insistence that Annapurnamma decided to start the Dhavalagiri plant and Mahesh was the one who was continuously opposing it. Also right from the beginning he has been trying to obstruct the whole idea. He had also tried to hack Indira Prasad’s computer and tried to sell the data to some rival company. Citing all these reasons, Gowri asks Dr Indira Prasad to handover the CD to her, so that she may keep it safely, as she fears that Mahesh may try stealing it from Dr IP who stays alone. IP hands over the CD and assures Gowri that she will erase the Data from her computer also.

      3.SKD’s house, swarming with Party members. SKD come outside his house, to see Dasappa waiting with another party worker. A stranger comes over and requests SKD 10 minutes of his time. SKD is at first rude, and denies time, but later relents, apologizes and invites all of them inside, promising the stranger that he’ll talk to him after he finishes with Dasappa. SKD informs Dasappa that he has some land that he wishes to dispose of, to raise funds for election. SKD informs that the land once belonged to his Meshtru, who has been his ideal. The Meshtru (Thulaja Prasad) was an idealist, and when his wife was ill, he accepted money from SKD only on the condition that SKD purchased land from him. SKD had agreed to it and purchased the land for Rs. 30,000. Dasappa informs that the cost may be Rs 5 Crore and that parties are waiting to strike a deal. Dasappa also asks SKD what if they lose the election? SKD informs that he’s prepared to take that risk.
      SKD asks him to proceed. Dasappa leaves and SKD focuses on the stranger. Stranger says his name is Mr Prasad, and also introduces himself as Meshtru’s son. He says he’s indebted to SKD for helping his dad during his mother’s illness, and that SKD had helped him get a seat in college etc. Now he’s a big man living in London, and can afford to buy the land back from SKD. SKD says he’s already committed, but Prasad forces him to sell, offering Rs 10 Crore. He also says that he must spend only Rs 5 Crore for election and reserve the remaining money for his family. He also tells him that he’s arranged for vehicles for all of SKD’s constituencies, and that SKD must not refuse. SKD is overwhelmed and happy.

1526. All computers down today…power playing truant…what a day! At last I could get the update done..Thanks to all for waiting for so long.

1527. Thx vani for the update…

      It was much needed one as all of us have started finding one excuse or the other not to watch muktha regularly 😀 , Football, Work etc, since we know we get superb updates here 😉

      Looks like TNS is trying to solve everyone’s problems/situations (especially gowri’s family) before July 28..

      Now thinking of a good twist… for the story line, what if Nanjunda tries to see whats in the CD and looses it and is jailed again … for theft of secret formula (CSP should rescue him in another court case)… and somehow the formula reaches Chabria.. 😀

1528. Usha!

      Yenappa idu! Chewing gum modale haledaagi flavor kalkondide… agedu agedu hallu hulukaagatheno!
      TRP namma Sensex thara bidduhogide ansathe…Nowadays even in my house the TV in the room has full blast volume…football clashing with Muktha…Ok…howz this? Last episode nalli Football match…Good People Vs Bad People…Olleyavara Captain SKD, Kettavara Captain Rane.. Referee yaaru? Who’d be the most suited?

1529. vani,

      thanks for the update. bahaLa detailed aagi bardiddeera. Seems like Mukta is going to end – what with such 2coincidental” good sequences coming up!

      Match refree aagi TNS nE haaka bahudu allva? illa namma judge saahebaru?

      BTW did u guys read abt Jaymala having touched Lord Ayyappa’s feet which some people call as sacrilege? Thought this was a coincidence in the aftermath of our discussion abt Sri. Vidyabhushan here 🙂

1530. Referee is of course Ravi Belagere 😀
      Ha haaa I was laughing so much thinking of that football match 😀 I wonder who the goalkeepers will be 😀

      Does anybody know for certain about the TRP ratings??? kadime aagidya??

      The Jaimala episode yavaglo varshagaLa hinde aagitthallva… matthe yaake aa maathu thegithiddare?? Btw with such rules, how did they allow her inside the temple in the first place at that time??
      I am not saying it is wrong. I believe all temples should be open for all people all the time. I also believe that temples should not shut the doors (which they do at night, etc). Of course there are reasons for that.
      I was just wondering how they let her in at that time when they are so strict about it.

1531. Shruthi Goalkeeper ond kade thatha idre henge? 😀 ayyo papa avru (opposite party) kooda ondh salpa goals hakkolli, antha over sajjanike thoristhare…

      innod partynalli SKD goalkeeper idre devre gathi , hagella agutha namge nyayavagi yesth barbeko asth mathra goals consider madona antha arguments shuru agbiduthe,

      Referee 1 will be ravi belegere and referee 2 will be Rane… aha sakath match appa idu..:D

      Tirga aru-Manmohan storyline shuruaithallapa…. i think this is best moral story for people who are in love 🙂 never listen to parents and understand answers of your girlfriend as YES for NO and NO for YES as per Gowri’s advice to Manmohan.

1532. Of cource, the goalkeepers would be CSP on SKD side and SS on Rane side.
      Rane is given red-card in the previous match, so for the finals, Hardev Patil is leading 😉 his team.
      Gauri family is supporting SKD team, while SrikanTa and Madhuvanti, Mahesh supporting Rane 😀
      It’ll be a wonderful match to watch, nice concept Vani avre 😉

      Eventhough it is true that a temple should be open to all, in every season,
      the sacredness of a place will be also in the protocol it follows.
      If Shabarimalai temple restrains females between 10 and 50 in its premises,
      it is the temple’s protol and it should well be respected and followed in that place.
      It is secondary to note if some one has touched the idol or not, in first place,
      to allow that person against the principles of the temple itself is the main sacrilege here.
      Well.. also, in my perception, it doesnt matter if someone touched the idol,
      God is same to everyone. Its good to stop this here, than making it a big issue.

1533. Match nalli Aru participate maadidare – Goal hodiyoda, bedva, hodiyoda bedva, antha koothbidthaLe… ashtaralli opposite team navaru avara kaDe nookbidthare.
      Gayatri iddare, goal hodiyo munche Nanjundana permission keltha koothkothale.

      I think Ajji and MP will be the best players 😀

1534. Muktha Update

      28.06.06

      1. Mahesh’s house. Srikantha Swamy (SS) comes to meet him. Mahesh tells him that he’s hearing complaints about SS’s loyalty towards Mahesh. SS says what complaint? Mahesh elaborates and says that someone made a comment that though SS appears to be on Mahesh’s side, his true loyalties lie with Gowri. SS hastens to explain that that’s not so and he wouldn’t do anything on Mahesh’s behest had that been the case. He supports his explanation by reminding Mahesh about the fake bills he had created for him. Mahesh tells him that there’s another opportunity for him to earn money, SS will get Rs 1 Lakh on completion of the job. SS is astounded at the amount and asks Mahesh in an amused manner if he wants anyone killed. Mahesh asks him if he looks like a killer. SS explains that the amount is so huge that he assumed that he had to finish off someone. Mahesh explains about the CD to SS, that he can make lot of profit by possessing that formula and tells him that he’s to get the CD from Dr Indira Prasad, and also cautions him that the work may lead to Gowri’s name being maligned. SS thinks for a moment and accepts the job. He also says that he overheard Dr Indira Prasad & Gowri speaking the other night and that the CD is now with Gowri. He tells Mahesh that it’s all the easier for him to flick the CD. Mahesh tells him to carry on and gives him an advance of Rs 20,000 and tells him that the rest will be given after the job.

      2. Sharavathi is cleaning her house. SS Comes home and she offers him coffee. While having Coffee, he hands over the 20,000 he recd from Mahesh. She’s surprised and happy and tells that the new agency with Mahesh seems to be working well for you. She asks him if he got the 20,000 from the agency. SS tells her that it’s for another job. You remember you woke me the other night when Gowri was speaking to Dr Indira Prasad; Dr Indira Prasad had handed over a CD, which had some valuable information to Gowri. Mahesh says it’s very important and he can make huge profit if he gets it. So he’s supposed to get the CD from Gowri without her being aware of it. I will get another 80,000 on completing this work; let us go for a vacation next month, since they might not invite us for Nanjunda’s wedding. He tells Sharavathi that she should somehow get the info about the CD from Gowri, and he’ll slip in during the night and steal it from her. Sharavathi agrees.

      3.Gowri’s office. A peon tells her that some minister’s son has come to see her. She asks who’s it and he informs that it’s MM. MM comes in and she asks about all the recent happenings at his house that MP is staying with them their contesting the elections etc. MM tells her that he’d been to Aru’s house, Aru wasn’t there but Ajji spoke a little rudely to him and sent him away. That begins Gowri’s tirade on MM. She asks him if his family has no value about Aru’s feelings… first it was his dad who asked her to keep away from MM; next it was his mother. What right do they have to play with Aru’s feelings. MM is apologetic and says he’s ready to apologize to everyone in Gowri’s family. Gowri says that it might be futile for him to attempt that, because they are looking for another boy for Aru, and even though she might want to marry him, she would never go against the wishes of her family, and MM may prepare to lose her.

1535. In last night’s episode, TNS was trying to convey that Gowri may not marry MM… wonder if it’s just to create some sort of anxiety and interest in the viwers or really that the much hyped Aru-Manmohan wedding may actually not occur. But it’s simply dragging.

      And yes Shruthi, all the temples must be open all the 24 hours…but practically I think that may not be possible…but yes, definitely the rule of not allowing women in certain temples must go. After all, everyone has a right to pray and connect with God, isnt it?

1536. ** Instead of RED CARD, they can show RED SANJEEVINI SOPPU.

      ** Nanjunda will be the goal keeper. And when there is a penalty shoot out, he will point a gun to the guy about to hit the ball.

      ** Off side candidate will be Rane. ‘coz knowing his nature, before elections he will be near the CM’s chair. Same way, before the ball comes to him, he will be near the opponent’s goal post.

      ** Yellow card will be shown to Arundathi as she will start an argument with Manmohan over nothing. And when the Refree starts telling her something, she will tell: “REFREE PLEEEEESE…” just as she tells “AJJI PLEEEEESE…” or “AMMA PLEEEEESE…”

      ** A placard would read: RANE RANE, NINGE GELUVU KANE

      ** Another would read: Arundathi Arundathi, Maduve Madikollakke yen thogothi?

      ** Finally, never let Arundathi have the ball during the Decider, ‘coz you know why!

1537. If SKD is made team captain/coach, he will say let’S not play a game and waste time. Lets unite and score towards one goal. We will build a common minimum program as to who gets to score goals and what kind of goals and whatever….

      Ah BTW, dEvasthaana yaake raatri muchchabaaradu? dEvarigU swalpa rest bEDavE? 😀

1538. Nenne episodenalli gowri manmohan ge upadesha kodta irabekadre nagu barta ittu. avarige bekagirodu MM aru na maduve madikollali, avare bandu kelali anta. avanu eshtu sarti bandu kelidru avalu beda antale, adanna avanu investigate madi nijavaglu beda anta idala, illa yaradru avala kaili hage helsidara anta artha madkobekante. entha huduginappa aru, nijavaglu antaha confused hudugi nija jeevanadalli iralla ansatte. over egoistic and swalpa torike jasti.

1539. In my earlier comment, I have written Gowri may not marry MM…Oh my God! Imagine if MM proposed to Gowri and said…hogli Aru beda andre parvagilla…over egositic hudugi…neevadru nanna maduve aagthira?

1540. Going off track, some good news for Book lovers. Bangalore’s most loved book corner, ‘Premier Bookstore’ is going to stay till 2007. News of imminent closure because the shop owner refused to extend the lease did the rounds in 2005-6. But thanks to the media and bloggers exposure and concerns, it has been postponed till April 2007.
      It seems some sort of an unofficial agreement has been reached between Shanbhag and the owner.

      For those who haven’t been there yet, here’s the address:

      Premier Bookstore
      46/1, Church Street (Facing Museum Road)
      Bangalore 1.
      Open all days 10-1.30 and 3-8 pm. Sunday 10-1 pm.

1541. Worth remembering that Sanjay had put up a post on ‘Premier’ three months back titled ‘A bookshop with a heart’
      You can read it more: http://msanjay.weblogs.us/entries/327/a-landmark-bookshop

      Thanks Sanjay.

1542. This football match is turning out to be great fun 😀

      Arun, if God sleeps at night, what will the people in the US do? Avarige daytime allva? 😀

1543. Shruti,
      Americadavranna kapadakke US Devru irtare. Donn worry. Let indian Gods take rest, at least at night, If not God, let Pujari take rest 😀

      Another foot ball match plackard, held by CSP :
      ‘Aaduvevu naavu hosa football ondanu, majada gameondanu……’
      Can some one finish this plackard?

1544. A very good piece of advice by MP to MM yesterday to concentrate on his career than falling behind Aru. She has agreed to talk to Aru’s family. At least i feel somewhat awkward when MM calls MP as Akka :).

      We have to see how MP plays her role as Shubha (Rajiv Gandhi assassination case) in the movie Cyanide.

1545. Lol, yeah Subbaramu. 🙂
      That was weird when Gowri was telling Manmohan all that. He never did anything, it was always Aru that said, ” I’ll marry you.” ” I wont marry you.” That was quite silly to turn it all upon him. 😛 !

1546. The story line is getting weaker/diluted as they are dragging Aru-MM unnecessarily. Somehow i am not convinced since the same gowri’s family were able to forgive and forget whatever purushottam’s Father in law insulted and blasted them, was he not from shreemantha kutumba to extend alliance and relations of purushottam?? They are against MM’s family from the beginning for the reason that it is a rich family’s alliance… Dont they think logically at all? Infact MM’s family nor MM have never been harsh on these people (Language) especially after the fashion show case of Aru. I think for that Aru and her family had forgiven MM long back for that.

      MP somehow seems to be reluctant to go with the proposal to gowri’s house, has she forgotten the relationshsip she had with them??

      When MP has continued to stay with IAM and MM , was she not able to pay CSP his fees borrowing from them (If she was an atmabhimaani-she could it return it after elections..)

1547. By the way i think its again bad timing to go to Gowri’s house for MP and IAM with MM’s marriage proposal….. for all you know Gowri’s family may be in shokacharane mood … CD kaldhogiruttallaaaa formuladhu… 😀

1548. Muktha Update

      29.06.06

      1. Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. Late at night. Everyone is asleep. SS is snooping around. He sneaks in to Gowri’s room and starts searching her cupboard and belongings for the CD. He searches for a long time and at last finds it in a bag. He picks it up and is almost successful walking away with it when he stumbles in the dark, waking Nanjunda. Nanjunda wakes up with a start and SS assures that it’s just him come to get a drink of water. Nanjunda wants to know if there’s no water in SS’s house. SS replies that there was no drinking water and so he came here, and hurriedly walks away. Nanjunda wonders why SS had to come out at that time of the night.
      2. Sharavathi waiting for SS. He tells her all that happened when he was searching for the CD. She asks him if he was successful in getting the CD, he shows her the CD and assures her that he was. He tells him to put a similar looking CD in its place to avoid any suspicions.
      Mahesh and Madhu are chatting. Madhu wants to know how Mahesh can be so nonchalant about Gowri asking for a Board of Directors Meeting. Mahesh tells her to take it easy and that he’s thought of a plan to put both Gowri and Dr IP permanently out of the company. Madhu asks him to elaborate. Doorbell rings and Srikantha Swamy walks inside. He hands over the CD to Mahesh who verifies if it is the one that’s required. With an evil grin, he replies that that’s the one he was looking for. He wants to know if no one suspects anything. SS replies that he’s replaced this CD with a similar looking one. Mahesh is happy and asks SS to meet him later. Madhu asks him what’s in the CD and he says that he has the formula to produce the Energy Drink now and can permanently do away with Dr IP and Gowri.

      3. Arunachala Murthy’s residence. Man Mohan is reclining listlessly on his cot. MP barges inside. She’s looking upset and starts off scolding Man Mohan on why he deserted his campaign midway. He tells her that he was too upset to carry on. MP wants to know the reason but MM keeps mum. MP says it’s okay if he doesn’t want to share it but he has to be serious about his election. MM then tells her that he had an hour free and he went to Aru’s house to meet her, but she wasn’t there and he was treated rudely. He also says that he went to meet Gowri and recounts his conversation with her. MP tells MM that if Aru is genuinely not interested in marrying him, he would do better to forget her and move on in life as this is the time for him to concentrate on his career. MM says even though Aru is interested, she wouldn’t do anything against her family’s wishes. MP wants to know what further is to be done, MM says that Aru’s family is upset because someone or the other from our family has been going to Aru and telling her to reject me, if you and Amma visit them and clear things, they will agree. MP says that she’ll do that, but if Aru or anyone else says no this time, he should get on with life, and forget her, she’ll look for another girl for him. She tells him that she doesn’t want him to get upset about such trivial issues and that she isn’t happy with him weakening over these issues.

1549. True Usha… Shiv Prakash has insulted each and every member of the family on more than one occassion…yet they were very magnanimous then…looks like a case of Short Term Memory Loss. And if Manmohan is sensible, he’s got to know that there are other girls in the world who’re much better in all respects than the over-egoistic and self-centred Arundhati.

1550. Yes, but Arundathi’s story was always dragged LOL
      BYE 😛
      Keep smiling 😛 !

      Scene One
      ————-
      A = Arundathi
      N = Nanjunda
      P = Purushothama

      Arundathi is getting ready to leave with Nanjunda for the campaign.
      Nanjunda is waiting for her to hurry up. Arundathi tells him she’ll be ready in a few minutes. She’s about to go into the room when the phone rings.
      A: Hello? Oh! Athige! How are you? You haven’t come for so long. Hmm, ok, ok.
      A: Ey, Purushothama, Athige’s phone, here.
      P: Hello, yea, yea. Movie? I don’t know, everyone is busy, Nanjunda and Aru are going to the lection campaign, Gowri is at a Board Meeting. I’ll let you know later. Nanjunda’s marriage?! Haha, ask him yourself.
      P: Ey, Nanjunda, here.
      N: Hello, yea Athige. My wedding? Waiting for Arundathi, when she gets married I will too. When the line is clear, I’ll too get married. Haha, yes, don’t worry. I’ll get married in two or three years, ha ha ha!

      Arundathi overhears the conversation. She has tears in her eyes.

      N: Ey baare! Come on!
      He sees she’s crying.
      N: Hey! Why are you crying?
      A: Nanjunda, you get married, don’t wait for me. I’ll tell everyone. Don’t wait for me.
      N: Why are you talking like this Aru? Is it because I spoke to Athige like that? No, that was just a joke!
      A: No, whatever you said was correct. Don’t wait for me. There’s no point.
      N: Aru, please don’t say that. I’ll wait for you. Only after your wedding will be mine, ok?
      A: Thanks kano Nanjunda,
      N: Ey huchi, for all this thanks? Come on.
      P: Nanjunda, you go ahead, Aru will join you.
      P: Aru, this is YOUR wedding, not someone else’s please take a wise decision…If you want to get marries to Manmohan then do so. If people oppose, I’’ll talk to them.
      A: No-one is opposing our marriage, we’ll see, if we have luck, then we’ll get married.

      Scene Two
      ————–
      M = Mahesh
      G = Gowri

      Everyone is assembled at the Board Meeting. M says since they are here to discuss G’s problem, she should start the discussion. G tells them all the issue and people start questioning her. How much cash would she need? G explains that the production, marketing, advertising…etc. would be around 50 lakh. People start objecting to this. Then one man [referred to as Mr. Matthews] says that G has cheated their company. The people that like G start saying, no she hasn’t, why do you speak like this? Mr. Matthew’s says that they have proof. He looks at M. M produces a piece of paper. He says that G has already sent a copy of the Kempu Sanjivini Soppu product formula to a German company. G denies it. M shows her a copy of the mail and says it has been sent from her I.D. Mr. Matthew’s says we shouldn’t leave frauds like this alone, we should kick them out of the company! G says, no, if you want me to leave so much, I will, you do not have to kick me out, tomorrow itself, I’ll come and give my resignation.

      Scene Three
      —————
      G = Gowri
      N = Nanjunda
      A = Arundathi
      AJ = Ajji
      P = Purushothama

      G is bustling around everywhere and finally finds the CD and comes into the room.
      G: Aru, Does your friend Anupama have a computer?
      A: Yes, but why are you so tense?
      G: Don’t worry, come on, we have to go there urgently.

      They go there and come back.
      Gowri sits down next to Ajji with a sad / confused expression.
      AJ: Why Gowri, you look troubled?
      G: Ajji, they kicked me out of work.
      AJ: Why?
      G: They said that I have cheated the company by giving away the formula. I haven’t though. They have done this to throw me out of the company.
      P: Yes, but how did they get the formula?
      G: That’s what I wanted to know. That’s why I went to check out what is on this CD, this isn’t the CD with the formula on it. Someone has replaced it.

      Nanjunda is thinking and suddenly ——

      N: Srikanta!
      G: What?
      N: Yes! Srikanta has done this. The other night he was lurking about at midnight and I woke up, he told me that there is no drinking water at his plae so he came to get some. I was feeling suspicious that day only…

      Gowri looks puzzled.

      Keep smiling 😛 !

      Ammu

1557. I think its celebration time for us 🙂 🙂 atlast Aru’s issue got resolved …

1558. A Sanjay from malleshwaram won a bike in a Radio City contest and was On-Air today morning. Is that you Sanjay? I sincerely hope so 🙂

      Chaitanya

1559. Congrats Sanjay, read the post on your winning at home page!

      Anitha, our celebrations on ‘Arundathi Parinaya’ might just be too early, just wait there is still a long way to July 28th :-). Well I too wish there are no more twists to it 🙂

      Subbaramu, I heard Cyanide is a damn good movie and all have acted brilliantly. We should catch up with it 🙂

1560. Muktha Update

      03.07.06

      1. Srikantha comes home from work. Sharavathi hands him coffee and says that everyone at home have come to know that you have taken the CD. Srikantha is a little disturbed initially but then calms down. It is night, and Gowri is speaking to Srikantha. He tries to be funny and says that she need not worry about anything because she’s the CEO of a company and happily works in an “AC” office. Gowri dispels this notion and openly confronts him about the CD. He agrees that he’s taken it and justifies that she need not worry about Annapurnamma’s family. After All Mahesh is her Son-in-Law and he has a right over her property. Gowri says she’s not bothered about that, but the Formula of the Energy Drink meant that many farmers would be able to earn a livelihood, and the company would have made profit. For the sake of a Lakh Rupees, Srikantha has spoilt all that. If he required money, she’d have given it, or she’d have given him a good job in the company itself. But his desire for money has spoilt all that. She then says there’s been a radical change in you. I can’t imagine that you were the one who promised father that you would take care of us. I am ashamed to call you Anna. At this Srikantha flares up and says yes, I was the one who promised father, but are you people maintaining the same sort of relations with me?
      Why should you call me Anna? Whenever there is any decision to be taken, no one consults me, whenever Aru or Nanjunda pass by, they don’t even look at me, you have a car, have you called me one day to go for a ride? You haven’t. Then why should I feel bad about you calling me Anna? All these days my wife and I have suffered, now it is your turn. You have to endure your fate. Saying this, he walks off and slams the door of his room.

      2. Nanjunda and Thaatha are in the Verandah of their house. A car comes and MP gets down. She’s amused and happy to see the banners and posters in Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. She asks Nanjunda and he replies that that’s their way of supporting her. They walk in and everyone surrounds her. She says that she wasn’t able to meet them all after her release, and that she’s apologetic about that. She also says that she was campaigning near by and that she came to have lunch with them. Ajji and Amma are very happy. They leave to get it ready, but she stops them and says that she’d like to discuss something with them. Everyone is waiting. MP says that after her release, she’s staying with her mother and Man Mohan in Arunachala Murthy’s house itself, and that MM has become a younger brother to her. She says that she has come to ask these people to propose Aru for Man Mohan. Everyone is silent; at the end Ajji says that they are not interested.

      3. MP is surprised and asks why so? Ajji says they are hurt by these people’s behavior. MP says she cannot say anything about AM, but definitely her mother was only looking for her son’s welfare when she asked Aru to marry someone else. She continues and says that if they still feel it’s wrong…she gets up and brings IA inside. IA comes and says I know you people are very angry with me, but when I asked Aru whether she wanted to marry MM she said no. By telling me that she wasn’t interested in MM, she was magnanimous. She wasn’t selfish. I became selfish for my son’s sake. Please forgive me. If I had any other intentions, I wouldn’t have saved Aru from going to Paris with MM for the Ad. I have hurt all of you. My son is madly in love with Aru. Please don’t say not to this proposal. She folds her hands and is in tears. At this every lady there is in tears and Ajji says it was never our intention to say no, we know that you were instrumental in saving Aru’s Maana-Maryaade at the time of the Paris incident, but since you people had asked Aru to turn down MM twice, there was some ego within us to make you people come to us with the proposal. Please forgive us. At this MP asks them if they are ok with the proposal. Ajji answers on behalf of everyone in the affirmative. IA then comes to Aru and asks her in a very sweet voice if she’s willing to marry her son and come to her house as her daughter in law. Aru smiles and says “At the earliest.”

1561. Finally Aru is getting married!!!!!!
      I cant believe this. However TNS mite’ve understood that there is not a single possibility of elasting it further 😀

      Welll… Sanjay, my hearty congratulations to you.

1562. There is a long way between the cup and the lip, they say!
      Let’s see what will happen before Aru actually gets married 😀
      But of course, there are a lot of things that TNS has to finish off, so hopefully he will not stretch this one any longer!

1563. I am not able to comment on the other post about your winning the bike – it keeps on saying that I have not passed maths… I am not that hopeless.. I do know what 6+1 is 🙁
      Anyway, so I am commenting on this post itself — Congrats, Sanjay! Enjoy the ride! 🙂

1564. All these days I was busy at work and now thanks to the new company cab, have got more time to spend at office 🙁

      I enjoyed all your wicked/funny/wierd twists to Mukhta. Wanted to mention my own twist, here it goes:

      “The German company for whom Gowri has allegedly sent the Kempu Sanjeevi formula, are actually the official sponsorers of the German football team, who will be playing their semi-finals today. CSP and his detective team figures out the forumla leak and informs the German press, who hit out the company.

      The German football team, who win their semi final match against Italy will be banned to take part in the finals against France by FIFA due to this controversy.
      Meanwhile Gowri and Arundathi go to Germany and convince FIFA authorities that it was all because of Shrikanta and Mahesh and the german company had nothing to do. FIFA allows the finals to proceed and Germany wins worldcup.

      And now the real twist, Manmohan who is a die-hard fan of Zidane and his French team and hates Germany, decides to call off the marriage with Arundathi because she helped Germany :-))))))”

      I hope this is not true 😉

1565. ha ha chaitanya, Zidane is definitely a better choice than manmohan for arundathi, hope she doesnt consider it… otherwise i cant see our muktha’s pandaribai(India AM) go on again… :((

1566. Good to see that the updates are still going full steam. I’m in India currently and able to see atleast the 11:00 PM episode of Muktha.

      yesterdays episode: the conversation between Gowri and Shrikantu was very intense, and I’m sure no amount of description can express the mixture of feelings which went thru Shrikantu when Gowri was accusing him of the theft.

1567. Hahahah 😀 thats witty and would be a gr8 finish to the world cup.
      Enri Chaitanya, Germany fanna neevu? Hmmmm

      Usha… Muktha Pandari Bhai :)) 😀 cant stop laughing.

1568. http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/jul42006/spectrum10112200673.asp an intersting article, for music lovers… i m sure…. all are 😀

1569. Thanks for Such an informative Link. Frankly i had never heard of S.Krishnamurthy but now i know a little bit. We have Such a Ratnas in Karnataka but still our crowd is still attracted towards Micheal Jackson,Elton John, John Micheal , Brintey Spears,………

1570. Chaitanya, is CSP able to pay back the Detective or still is running for a cover telling his Asst to say that he is not at home.

1571. Very nice article on S Krishnamurthy, Usha. Btw, here is a beautiful story. Mysore Vasudevacharyaru (who, btw is one of my favourite composers), was dying, and he knew that his end had come. He called his grandson, S Krishnamurthy, and asked him to sit next to his bed and play the Tamboori. He lay there, listening to the sweet strains of the Tamboori, and passed away peacefully.

1572. Chaitanya, that’s a truly wicked scenario !! I loved it!!
      Btw, in one of Bellur’s comments, where we were outlining the Muktha football match, he said that the umpire will not show Red Card, he will show Kempu Sanjeevini Soppu instead!
      I had laughed out loud at that!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
      But I couldn’t comment at that time. Bellur that was a great touch 😀

1573. Shruti the reason for the bad maths would be the same, that the session has expired… did you try refreshing the page and then reenter the comment (don’t forget to save your text first!) Sorry for the inconvenience but this has proved to be a good way to fight spam. The authcode thing was way too complicated for me to install. Thanks a lot for your wishes!

      Chaitanya its always quite amazing to know that someone I knew happened to be listening to the radio at the time I came on air… thanks a lot for your wishes!

      Prasanna I think the detective would hire a special detective to keep track of CSP’s activities now! 😀

      Kempu Sanjeevini Soppu instead of red card was really cool!! 😆

      Hardly able to watch Muktha nowadays, quite a while. Works become more hectic and demanding.

1574. I know that session expiring problem. But I tried thrice, each time copy-pasting my message, as soon as the page loaded – still it did not work! 😀
      Sometimes, seriously I get a doubt on my own maths 😉

1575. Why not some more of imagination running riots for Chaitanya’s twist. Manmohan is an Indian politician in the true sense. He supports Italy now that Germany lost. Guess what could be the reason ? Manmohan respects our backseat Italian Prime Minister !

1576. Muktha Update

      04.07.06

      1. Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. Purushottam has come and they are discussing the previous day’s events. Aru is very happy and telling everyone that crosses her path about the wedding plans. Gowri and Purushottam rag her and she storms off; She listens to them snooping behind the door.They discuss what present would be suitable for Aru, Purushottam tells Gowri that he’d like to gift Aru and MM a big bunch of old clothes so that they may exchange that for “Steel Pathre” Aru walks out angrily and makes a fuss. Purushottam then amends it to a Lottery Ticket. They then get on to serious discussion. Purushottam wonders about Ajji’s sudden change of mind. Ajji explains that “Pandari Bai” (IA) and MP had come over to convince the family and that she was never against the match. Purushottam wants to know when the wedding will be performed, Ajji informs that it’ll be in another 15 days time, after the elections.
      2. Continuation of earlier discussion. Ajji and Amma intend to perform Aru’s wedding at home. They ask Aru her opinion, if she intends to have it in a lavish style; Aru declines and says she wants the ceremony to be simple. She says she spoke to MM and he too is convinced that it should be performed on a simple scale, in fact she doesn’t mind if it is in a temple. No one agrees and they say that they will perform it at home. They also discuss the possibility of completing Nanjunda’s wedding also on the same day, but they’d have to discuss with Gayathri’s people and also that MM and his people should be agreeable to this. Just then Srikantha comes out from his room intending to go out. Amma calls him and tells him that Aru’s wedding has been fixed, but he remains indifferent. Aru is angry and says why inform him if he’s not willing to listen. Srikantha flares up and says I am interested to listen, but they are not interested to inform. If that’s the case he wont attend the wedding. Nanjunda says then “Udugore list inda ondu Dampati Cut” Srikantha is irritated still more and walks away. He meets Somshekhar Thaatha on the threshold along with Gayathri’s parents. He cant help being cynical about his family members and Gayathri’s parents are surprised with his attitude. Somshekhar tells them not to read too much into whatever he says and takes them inside. They meet everyone and say that since Aru’s wedding is fixed, they thought it would be the right time to talk about Nanjunda’s wedding. Ajji informs their idea of performing both weddings together, but they decline saying that they’ve run into unexpected financial difficulties, and so would want a postponement of one year to perform the wedding. They further inform that if these people cannot wait, they can go ahead with some other match. No one speaks anything.

      3. It is night. MP is eating Uppit. IA is also sitting at the table talking to MP. She tells her that the wedding is hardly 15 days away and we need to make so many purchases, none of you are free to come shopping with me. MP asks IA to take Maithreyi along. IA informs that Maithreyi is a bigger workaholic than these two; she is only concerned about her patients. MP relents and says that she’ll accompany IA to make the necessary purchases. IA asks MP if she’s decided to leave PM for good, because they require some couple for MM’s “Dhaare” and that Maithreyi’s husband cannot come from USA. MP says it’s not required that formalities be very strictly adhered to when the couple are willing to spend their life together. They both look out to see MP’s father Sadanand Patel (SP) walking up the steps. They are surprised. SP asks permission to come inside. IA says please come and walks away. SP is sarcastic and tells MP that her mother need not fear him, he’s not a tiger or lion; he only came to meet MP. She takes him to the bedroom and asks him again why he came and where was he all the time the case was going on? He says that it’s a long story and that he’ll tell her sometime later. He got to know that she’s contesting the election and may become a minister if she wins, and that as her father he wanted to see her in that post. She says you may stay, but promise that you will not trouble Amma by talking to her nor will you hurt her or make her cry. What ever you want, you will ask only me. He says I will not even look at your mother, I came to stay with you, not her. Get me something to eat, I am hungry. MP goes to get something for her father.

1577. Hi all

      Going little out of track, here’s a article about one and only Sanskrit newspaper in the country ‘Sudharma’ published by a mysorean. Surprisingly this has National as well as international subscribers…..(I got this related info from Udaya News-Yesterday)http://www.hindu.com/2006/07/03/stories/2006070310150500.htm

      Little we can contribute to this great man’s effort to restore usage of one of the beautiful languages is by reading it… subscribing it..

1578. Hi everybody,

1579. Namma balagakke susvagatha mala, nice to know that you love nature, love muktha… , keep blogging and you are already in our group :), welcome again.

      Please share your views, information about our country, state, culture, anything and everything under the sun 😀 which are informative… we are all info..arthi’s 😀

1580. Hearty welcome, Mala. Nice to know you love nature and books.
      Liked your line;”Respect & love nature as nature is god.”
      Remembered the line written at the entrance of Lal bhag west gate: Kai mugidu olage baa, idu Sasya Kaashi.

      For this blog, I want to say: Kai mugidu olage baa, idu Muktha Kaashi!

1581. By the way friends, Are sadananda Patel and IA (alias pandari bai)going to be hiriya dampathi for dharey in Manmohan’s wedding ,wow, thats going to be a good twist 😀

1582. hey usha, i shall tell TN to stop directing, u do it better, what an imagination, cant say it may take that twist, but it will b awfull, bcoz before that again remarriage has to b done 4 IA & SP.alva

1583. hi bellur,

      kannadathi
      mala

1584. Mala,

      Bedappa TNS level ge direction madodakkagli athva yavde avra prathibhegala yettarakke nanu beledilla…i m innu chikka chukki …:) Yake a twist helidhe andhre, sice MP had taken permission from the court earlier for IA ‘s treatment, stating that IA is still SP’s legal wife since there was no divorce….;) so still she’s legal wife of SP…they can perform the wedding, and happy reunion…..of family…
      This is one of such legal angle…interesting one.

1585. Usha,

      when I was having lunch, I was speculating about the entry of SP again in the serial and I could come to only one logical conclusion that avaru IA reconcile aagi MM mathe Aru maduve nadsthaare antha! Olle Co-incidence!

1586. Kannadathi Mala avare,

      Haardika Swaagatha. Namma blog namma serial na haage muktha. Sanjay namage namma abhipraayagalanna tilisuvudakke ondu olle vedike maadikkottiddaare. Adakke avaru ee blog mukthavaagittirodu. Namma gumpige innobba olleya gelathi serpadeyaagiddakke tumba khushi ide.

1587. Nenne Muktha nodtha iddaga namma ammange hange helide ki SP and pandari Bhai 😀 mite re-unit again anta, avaru baidhubitru… its so silly anta 🙂 Then I too thought it’d be aweful to give that twist.

1588. mala neevu prakruti priye iruvudarinda nimage ondu hoova koTTu swaagitisabekalva, togoLri… 😎

      Really cool recollection of words @ lalbagh entrance, RK!

1589. Friends, Who else can give lalbagh its due strong recognition other than namma preetiya Kuvempu… It was his line for Lalbagh

      My all time favourite is his

      teredide mane O bA atithi
      hosa beLakina hosa gALiya
      hosa bALanu tA atithi
      ….

      Kuvempuravarige nanna namana

1590. Thanks Sanjay. Nice picture too.

      It has made me remember Kuvempu’s first Kannada poem,
      ‘Poovu’ or ‘The Flower’:

      Munjane Manjinolu
      Pasuralli nadevaaga
      Anjisuva Sanjeyolu
      Usirannu yelevaaga
      Yele poove aalisuve
      Naa ninna geeteyanu
      Yele poove solisuve
      Naa ninna preetiyanu!

      (Amidst the early morning dew
      Walking across the greenery
      And in the evening that is scary
      While taking a breath,
      Oh flower, I listen to your Song
      Oh flower, I defeat your love!)

      Kuvempu could understand the true philosophy reflected by Mother Nature’s divine spectrum. Each of his poems on a flower or a tree mirrors a unique tenderness.

1591. Any talk of KuVemPu, not mentioning his scientific temper is not complete.

      Nartisu Taaye Ajajaye
      Mama Mastaka neerajadoLu

      Maanasa ati maanasa kere
      Ati maanasa maidore
      Aanandaamruta rasa sore

      Adi sonkige mudi araLe
      agnaanada gadi urule
      vignaanada kaanti
      avatarisuta bare shaanti

      His hunger for knowledge, as evident from the above lines was as he says “Maneyanedu Kattadiru.. Koneyanendu muttadiru”

      I salute this Rasa rishi of all times.

1592. Chaitanya, Now that Germany has lost to Italy the entire plot has failed. You have to think something different to build you new Plot.
      I’m sure you must be ready with that plot too…………….

1593. Oh..! I guess what must have happened is, Mahesh had got to know that somehow his plot is leaked in the Mukta blog and he sent Srikanta to Germany and bribed the German coach to get defeated. Now CSP asst Vimala read this blog and CSP’s detectives are back in action! 🙂
      Wow…! I myself am confused now whats real and whats not 😆

      Srik, nanu Germany fan all kanro, but yen madli, Argentina hidkonde, manege hodru, amele -like all others- Brazil, avru mannu mikidru, sari anta hosts na hidkondre… 🙁
      eega, may the best team win, aste 🙂

      And thanks everyone for the wonderful poems.
      Chaitanya

1594. Ayyo! Maraya.. u’d’ve had some similar weird plot for argentina, brazil too… Innu yava team meloo inta plots beda papa 😀

      And to add to your comment, Vimla gets some hint from here and Mahesh is finally caught and FIFA dismisses German coach for taking bribe and the semifinals is again played b/n Germany and Italy. Italian players, who were busy partying after their victory would fall sick to play again. And the German players who all had party in dejection caught up with chicken guinea… 🙂

      Oooops its going tooo far 😀

1595. Nemmadiyagi Cricket aadkond irro andre, footbaalu footbaalu antha hogthira, hyaap morey haakkand bartthira.

      (just joking);)

1596. thanks sanjay for a beautiful flower,

1598. Mala,

      Pls wait for sometime…sikkapatte kelsa ide ivattu…madhyaana update maadthini.

      Gist bekandre keli…

      Act I
      Mallikarjun Swamy & Co discuss among themselves and ask Gayathri’s parents to perform the marriage at Nanjunda’s residence along with Aru’s wedding. Expenses may be shared.

      Act II

      Sharavathi and Shrikanthu are deriving some sort of sadistic pleasure at the fact that Nanjunda and Aru are having some sort of ” compromise” wedding without grandeur and festivities..they are expecting a huge crowd which they feel Mallikarjun Swamy and Co may not able to handle.

      Act III

      Parvath Reddy, Ramana Rao and Varnekar meet CM to talk about his tour program. He is reluctant to go, but they coerce him to, citing all sorts of reasons. They force him to resort to negative publicity about Shiva Krishna Desai. CM refuses many times but ultimately they succeed.

      Ishte nadedaddu. Elaborate bekandre madhyaana helthini.

1599. Wow !
      I can see lot of Bhavageetegala priyayru !!!

      I remember Gopala krishna Adigara ” Amruthavahiniyondu hariyuthide manavana yadeinda yedege satata”

      Namma bhavageetegalu Noorkala balali

1600. Bhaavageete haadora abhaava ittu swalpa varshagala hinde. Eega parvagilla. Illee hudugru aamele hornada kannadiagara makkalu (Ammu comes to mind imm.) bhavageethegallana kaleethidaare.

1601. Muktha Update

      05.07.06

      1. Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. All the family members have gathered to discuss about what Gayathri’s (G) parents have informed. Thaatha says why not we ask them to perform the wedding in our house itself along with Aru’s marriage? That way they can save a lot on expenses too. Ajji is apprehensive at first, thinking that they may not agree, that they would want to perform their daughter’s wedding a little more lavishly, but the question of postponing it for a year is not acceptable. They decide to broach the subject with Gayathri’s parents and wait for their reaction. Thaatha puts forth their decision to G’s parents. Initially G’s father is not very happy with the proposal, but later accepts when everyone convinces them. They also suggest that they share the expenses, but Ajji brushes that aside and says we can take care of that later.
      2. Sharavathi and Srikantha are having dinner when Sharavathi pours out all of the day’s events. Srikantha wonders why MM, who’s so smart and handsome is so hell-bent on marrying Aru. Sharavathi says everyone in your family is like that. Dint Purushottam entice Priya to marry him? Now if Shiva Prakash dies, the entire property will come to him. Gowri was almost about to get Annapurnamma’s money. Nanjunda also thought that he’ll get a fat dowry. Srikantha is surprised and asks if Nanjunda is not going to get a good dowry. Sharavathi informs him of G’s parents’ problems. Srikantha feels that whatever’s happened is right. They speculate that if MM wins election, then he’ll be an MLA, around 2000 people will barge in for the wedding. Let us see how these people cope up. Sharavathi also feels that it’ll be a fine sight, and they joke about it.
      3. CM’s residence. Late at night. Varnekar, Parvath Reddy (PR) and Ramana Rao come to visit CM. CM is upset that they are late. They inform him that they had been to see Rane who’s in hospital. CM looks concerned, RR informs him that Rane got himself admitted to hospital so that he could operate better from there. CM is not convinced, and asks about Varnekar and PR. RR tells CM who they are and also adds that they have been instrumental in developing the party’s election strategy. CM is angry and says at one time, our Party’s ideology was Gandhi’s principles, should we go to this election under these people’s leadership; I am the CM of this state and also being projected as next CM. If you bring these people to my house, what’ll happen to my image? Anyway, tell me why you came. They tell him that he’s to tour 4 districts, which are SKD’s stronghold. He is unhappy and says I wont do that. But they coerce him, and he says all right, I will go tour, but don’t expect me to bad mouth SKD. They go on pressurizing him to speak against SKD. At the end, it looks like RR nearly orders the CM to do as per his bidding.

1602. Hello People,

      Today’s update is really short and only covers important points. The only excuse being genuine lack of time.

      Tomorrow will try to make it more detailed.

      Vani, nimge aagade iddre, let me know, I will put up a brief update today. If you have already started, then it’s ok.

1610. Muktha Update

      06.07.06

      1.SKD goes to Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. He meets a lot of youngsters there. He is overwhelmed by their support but also cautions them against going into any anti social activities. He praises them for all their support but also informs them that if they are doing this for money, they’d be disappointed becos he doesnt have anything to offer them. Nanjunda assures SKD that their support is genuine. Nanjunda’s family question SKD about his brother joining Rane and Co. SKD says that there was no problem between him and his brother, some small issue was there more than 20 years ago, Rane has taken advantage and blown it out of proportion.
      2.Shiva Prakash and Priya drop in to Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. They broach the topic of the two marriages. Shiva Prakash is very happy, and asks Ajji and Amma to dish up a good lunch. He also meets Gayathri. He asks them how they want to finance the two weddings. They reply that they plan to make it a very simple affair. Gayathri informs Shiva Prakash that the major problem has come becos her parents are not able to finance the wedding and so these people were magnanimous to perform the two weddings together at their own cost. At this Shiv Prakash offers to bear expenses for the wedding.
      3.Instantly everyone declines, he explains that he does not intend to spend everything himself, it is the duty of parents to make the important purchases like clothes and jewellery. He further jokes that if Aru gets to know that he has financed the clothes and jewelry, she may refuse to get married. He says that you people look after the important purchases, I will take care of other expenses like food, transportation, the guests’ stay etc, please do not say no. You people are very large hearted, and also very “swaabhimaani”, I know that. This will be one way of me paying back your “Runa”, when I was ill, I thought I will die, but you sent Purshottam and Priya to live with me. Now I am alright only becos Purushottam is taking care of my work and I have no tension whatsoever. I have insulted you people many many times in the past, but still you have been good to me. Please allow me to help you. Ajji (with tears) says “nimma upakaara na yaavaaglu mareyalla”. Priya informs that she’s going to give Nanjunda a good present for his wedding, she’s going to make the Floriculture business in his name, and he and Gayathri should jointly run it. She also tells him that he should be more responsible in future as he’s going to get married. Nanjunda apologizes to Shiv Prakash for all his bad behavior earlier, Shiv Prakash says it’s alright, because I too had behaved like that with you people.

1611. Shruthi,

      Thanks, update aaytu. Naale maduva haagiddare better, or else it will have to wait till Monday when I come back… tomorrow we are having some training program out of office..

1612. I think ‘sihi’ would be a good name for ur house.
      Shruti, nanu aste tent hakkondu kutidini illi :))

1613. Mala, Samriddhi is a good name!
      If you want to go with something connected to nature, you could give the names of one of the Pancha bhoothas. We also wanted to name our (parents’) house something connected to nature.. WE thought of the pancha bhoothas, zeroed in on Earth, and thought of some names connected to the earth. Like Dhara, Dharani, Prithvi, etc. Finally we all liked “Dharitri” (earth) and named the house that.

      Vani, am not too sure about today’s update – I might be able to give today’s on Monday, though. Nodona. Let me know if you are busy on Monday.

1614. :). Shruthi nivu tent hakirodu chennagide. ee galigu nimma tent alladuttilla andre chennage hakidira ansutte. 🙂

      innu MM ge kedugala shuru aitu, namma over egoistic and ityaadi ityaadi Aru na maduve madikolta irodikke.

1615. Ha ha! Yaava gaaLi, Subbaramu? Namma Bengalurina AashaaDha maasada gaaLiyo, athava post-courtscene Muktha gaaLiyo?

1616. Haage nodokke hodare, most of us, tent kaTTilla, iTTige mane kaTTisi koothiddivi 😀

1617. Shruthi, nanu aashadada gali bagge heliddu. court scene ada mele, mukta galiyalli parimalane illa. ivaga namma Aru maduve settle agiro hage melnotakke kanta irodarinda swalpa tampagide ansutte, enantira :).
      Ammu style nalli keep smiling :):).

1618. Shruthi,

      Monday may be I can do it… gottilla…aadashtu naale madhyaana or sanje haakakke try maadthini..

      Maneya hesaru tumba chennagide…I also felt “Subhikshaa” is a good name…similar in meaning to Samriddhi

1619. Theres one more close to nature name “Suvrishti” falls in line with Subhiksha, samriddhi..

1620. some synonyms for Nature from kannadakastuuri.com…

      guNa
      daivasRuShTi
      naDate
      niyati

1621. Maneya hesaru – nimma hesaru kooda seri

      Hoomaale (andare garland)

1622. TPK joke:
      Yaro obbaru mane hesaru “SUNDER VILLA” antha ittranthe. Roadnalli hogoru yaaro adanna nodi adara kelage “HOKKOLLI BIDI” antha baredu hodranthe.

1623. I m tempted to comment, even though i didnt hav time at all to read or access the blog in detail today 🙁

      I was and am still in the confusion /search to find a name for my house even though our house is 3 years old ..ha ha.. dont laugh for my somaaritana, but i was not happy with shortlists…

      My search somewhat narrowed down to Dhathri, Urvi, Kausthubha, and strongly to Chatushyala sanskrit name (House with the courtyard)since we hav a courtyard and a garden inside (middle) of the house.

      Anyway congrats Mala for the new house. Pls Mala jotege nan manegu swalpa hesru hudkipa…pls pls.. aduuu courtyard +sanskri/kiannada based 😀

      Happy weekend

1624. Bellur

      TPK avra “Taali kattok Kooleene”Atva Tollu Gatti” natakadalli kooda paathu tavramaney hesru “Gnanavilla ” antha 😀 TPK anthu typical of his humour…I miss his kind of works these days….

1625. Usha,

      You are right. When Sose tells her Atte that her house name is GNANAVILLA, Atte tells: Adhu gottiro vishyne bidu…

      Apart from Kailasam, Beechi’s Thimma is also a lovable character.

1630. Yesterday on our morning walk in Lalbagh, we came across TNS!! He recognized me immediately, he said… “Ohhooo gottaythu! Blognavaru!” 😀 But he forgot my name 😀 – I reminded him, and introduced my husband also.
      With him was Mr.Jagdish, whose name comes in “Vyjnanika Salahe” for Muktha. We chatted for a couple of minutes, adu-idu, about where we are from, and where we work, etc., and then we left. While leaving, TNS said to me, “Aaythu putta, matthe nodona mari”, and he left 😀 😀

1631. Hey thats Ravi Belegere style…”putta…magaLe..” Its really good.

1632. Abba , Football fever mathe jagarne program aithu… but finals kick asth irlilla ninne between Italy -France. Felt bad that Zidan’s career had to end with a red card…:(( Kempu sanjeevini soppu :D)

      Coming to twist in Muktha story line, looks like tirga nam pandaribai is showing all signs of getting hospitalised for treatment (Dr kiran Doss) hatra, hagenadru adre mathe arundathi…manmohan gati.. Amele ondh doubt ..chinnad nanya SP ge… Rane yenadruu kotidha?

1633. Usha,

      Chinnada Nanya yaaro swamigalu kottiddante…when SP was doing “Tapas” in himalayas… Friday’s episode was really a drag…Whole time Sadananada Patel was bad-mouthing Arunachala Murthy…I dont support AM or IA’s actions, but ashtondu yeleyodu…one entire episode need not have been dedicated to this…Sumne Time wastu. Update bareyoddakku yenu stuff illa.

1634. Howdhu Vani,

      IAM -SP vishya banthu andre boomer Chewing gum idhange , yeldhu yeldhu, agdhu agdhu bejaru…

      I agree with you , ee thara episodes -updates yenu iralla -stuff iralla…

      Innondh yachne madtha idhe, The personal lives of Female charecters shown in the serial… what are public opinion about it… For ex Madhavi Patel’s concentration on career than trying to solve hurdles of her personal life… along with career, IAM’s second marriage w/o divorce, leaving her two daughters (of first marriage)responsibility, Sharavathi’s cunning behaviour

      Shruthi/Sanjay/bellur/other seniors -Were there any opinion polls done in the blog earlier regarding this? Since you are old bloggers… you would be aware

1635. No Usha, there haven’t been any opinion polls on this topic. We might have discussed some aspects just in passing, but nothing in detail.

1636. 15 episodes to go.

      Mala avare, there was a hotel in Mysore with no name. It was called ‘Nameless Hotel’. In RK Narayan’s novels, you can find it as ‘Boardless Notel’.

      Yeno hesaru hudukthiddralla, hesara bagge idondu anecdote helona annistu. Don’t think that I am telling you not to keep a name!! Idi idi, khandita idi. By the way, just like people, houses have names. Why no nicknames or pet names?!

1637. Usha,

      Ee personal lives bagge justification idyalla, adu as the name suggests,”personal”. Yaakandre obbara outlook sahajavaagi innobbara reethi iralla…Each person’s concept
      and perception of priorities and justification of actions
      is different…

      In fact someone had asked me when I was doing the update during the court case, regarding Sharvani’s behavior … nanna opinion prakaara she was justified in behaving the way she did. Mathobbara kannige adu unjust annisbahudu…

1638. Muktha overall yeshtu boring aagide andre, I take my son out to show him BOW-BOW when IAM and AM are being chastised by SP or when Nanjunda and Aru’s maduve is being planned or when SP gets ‘Chinnada nanyas’.

      Roadalli iddru, I can hear dialogues from some houses! Beedhige hodru, Muktha characters bennu bidalla antare!

      Muktha has become like a patient with Life support system!

1639. Bellur,

      Patient with life support system, comparison tumba chennagide 🙂

1640. WE are so funny sometimes….
      When the court case was going on, we were thinking, OMG wen is this going to end, and wen it DOEs end we think OMG wen is this SHOW going to end??? LOL
      hehe 😛 !
      Keep Smiling 😛
      Ammu

1641. Right Ammu 😀 Human wants are never ending…..

      Only for the suspense the court scene had created and good storyline, Muktha had attained high viewership – You can compare it for FIFA worldcup – as soon as Brazil, Germany, England, Argentina, Portugal (strong teams -Favorites) were out of tournament.. viewership came down. Part of life.

      Now since Muktha is being dragged unnecessarily on commercial grounds, which is making the story line weak and thats resulting in huge drop in viewership..

      Anyway countdown has begun….Lets have patience and support muktha team… Lets not loose patience like Zidane (Just kidding) way he missed his final half hr play

      Keep 😀

1642. Muktha Update
      10.07.06
      1.Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. Thaatha, Aru and Nanjunda are sitting in the verandah, Nanjunda Aru kaalu othta iddane. Ajji serves coffee and asks them why do they go on election work when there’s so much work to be done before the weddings, Thaatha says that its important, they cannot give up the campaign work…Ajji tells Thaatha to keep quiet and allow Nanjunda and Aru to look after the campaign work, and thaatha has to concentrate on the wedding. Then they sit together to make a list of invitees. There’s the usual haggling between Ajji and Thaatha on whom to invite. They jot down important names like Swamiji, Shiva Prakash, SKD and CSP. Thaatha says why to invite CSP? He’s going to come and scold everyone. Aru insists on inviting CSP and Thaatha agrees, but refuses to go to his house. Ajji says she’ll go to CSP’s house alone and invite him, and also tell him whatever Thaatha said. Everyone laugh.

      2.Continuation. Shivanand Desai (SND) comes canvassing and asks them to vote for him. They flatly refuse. Aru asks him does he not feel any sense of regret contesting against his brother. SND justifies his stand and says that SKD isn’t all that goody-goody as he appears. His followers tell Nanjunda to join Rane or he will have to face consequences. Nanjunda is not moved by this and says do what you want, but we will support SKD till the end. SND pacifies his followers and advices Nanjunda to join Rane and Co so that he may be pardoned for working with SKD earlier. Nanjunda and Aru flatly refuse. SND and supporters walk away. Ajji is a little scared, but Aru and Nanjunda tell her not to worry.

      3.Pandari Bai versus “Vakra Buddhi” Sadanand Patel. He goes on harping to Maithreyi that he’s a victim of bad circumstances. He gets some sort of sadistic pleasure in hurting IA, but also gets upset that she cries. Maithreyi suggests that he apologize to IA, but he flatly refuses, again playing the old record that she eloped with AM for the sake of worldly pleasures and money while he was stuck with the task of bringing up two children. He says many time he felt like slapping AM, but dint get the courage to actually do it, becos he was poor whereas AM was rich. Maithreyi asks him to please stop this topic. He complies and gives her a small pouch full of gold coins, when she refuses he says it’s the least I can offer. I dint give you a good education, I dint get you married, you applied for a scholarship, you opted for a registered marriage, even on your wedding day I was standing drunk , your In-laws assumed that I was a serious person, but little did they know that inspite of my not having anything to give you, I had to come there, and I had drunk to muster courage. If I had spoken, they would have known that I was drunk, that’s why I simply kept my mouth shut. Please keep this. Maithreyi accepts. He gets up to go for a walk, telling Maithreyi that he will be back shortly.

1643. Pandari Bai versus “Vakra Buddhi” SP is going out of bounds. I was asleep yesterday watching that part of muktha. 🙁

1644. Thanks VAni, did not watch yday’s episode completely. I was busy wondering if SP’s hair was naturally white, and whether his teeth are real, and why his kunkuma is high up in the middle of his forehead, and why Maitreyi is so thin, and what Madhavi Patel and Pandari Bai are doing… etc.

      Also, one more doubt. After MM’s and Aru’s marriage has been fixed, they have not shown them meeting or calling each other up, right?? Of course, not that I want them to 😀

1645. yeah Shruthi,

      That part about MM and Aru not meeting is conspicous by its absence…The other day when Mallikarjun Swamy & Co were discussing the marriage, Aru was mentioning that she and MM discussed the issue and opted to have a simple one…but no direct “Pyaar Bhari Mulaakaat” shown.

1646. Thank God! they didnt put us thru that torture of MM and Aru meeting !!!!!!
      Much obliged!!!

1647. 14 episodes to go.

      But I saw Arundathi and Manmohan near Malleswaram. I overheard Aru telling MM that she wanted to eat Gulkand near Circle while MM wanted to go to Cafe Coffee Day. I stopped by and suggested that they go to CTR and have benne Masale!

1648. Bellur – Lunch time and I am hungry – yaake benne masale anthella helthira?? 🙁

1649. Bellur,

      CTR navarige nimmindale olle publicity…next time tell them that if their dosas have become popular, it is because of a major contribution from your blog and ask them to give you good discount. ;-)Ahaa Masale Dose…leaves you yearning for more…I like to call it soul food, not only your stomach but also your soul is content on having BM at CTR.

1650. Came across a post in ‘Churumuri’ that most of us read courtesy Vani. She had posted it on June 15th, 2006 at 3:13 pm. it was called ‘Peg after peg’. Liked it very much.

      Churumuri has posted it today titled “Reality is an illusion caused by alcohol deficiency”. (Not giving the link because Sanjay’s intervention will be required. Learnt this from experience).

      Vani, you are faster than Churumuri! And thanks for those words!

1654. If any of you missed Silli Lalli yesterday,
      Samajasevaki Lalithamba pleaded on SLTV for the food, for some reason. I heard her say…”Hengassaru enthenthaa adige maadthare..! Aa nippattu, aa uppittu, chakkuli, kodubaLe, Idli Dose…” Remembered that sequence which was toooooo much to bear not laughing, also the song of NML, “Aduge aduge… vishavillada ee aduge…” I forgot the complete song, which was hillarious. Remembered it after reading the poem of RK 😀

1655. Muktha ee naduve thumba boru.
      Mucnche nodtha idhvalla antha nodbeku.
      Very boring and irritating at times. Finallay arundhati nammanella kade varegu torture maadtha idhdhare.

      Silly lally thumba chennagiththu. Jaanesha is very good comic actor.

1656. Hello!

      Will someone do the update? Couldnt watch Muktha last night…

      Thanks
      Vani

1658. Usha!

      Yaava channel nalli bantu? or did you watch DVD?

      One of my favourite movies…which version did you watch? Kannada or Telugu? Ok…nanna paalinduu neevu enjoy maddideera andkothini.

1659. nan hathra telugu vcd idhe vani,

      nodthani irtheeni whenver i feel like, Savithri’s acting as Ghatotkacha is simply amazing, that movie is with so much energy ….and its so hilarious that it cannot be expressed in words…:D

1660. I consider Maya Bazaar to be a pioneer film in special effects. Eega baro Krisshh athava Superman is nothing because in Maya Bazaar the special effects like the folding and unfolding of the carpet, the cot rotating, eatables coming near Ranga Rao after emptying or filling the vessels, Ranga Rao flying in the sky…..(oh the list is endless) were all done manually or with a lot of camera tricks. now, computer does everything, yen mahaa brahma vidye?

      Ranga Rao, Savitri, ANR and NTR have acted splendidly. In fact, the technical team had a few foreigners to make the special effects. Ghantasala’s music is excellent too!

      I have a video tape of MB in Telugu and a VCD in Kannada. I sit agape whenever I watch the movie. Want to see it with my son now!

1661. By the way, really sad to see hundreds of innocent people getting killed. But Mumbai has the will to return to normal very quickly. It recuperates from such shocks very fast.
      I have a few posts on this dastardly act. Do visit my site for more.

1662. Olle Cinema ree…Lucky you have the VCD.I love telugu version…original language nalli dialogs tumba apt annsathe…mathe yeshtondu funny scenes and dialogs…nange tumba hidisiddu andre the song before the marriage of Shashirekha and Lakshana Kumara…

      Whenever I feel dull or depressed, this movie is sure to cheer me up…I guess that’s the same for anyone who’s seen this classic too.

1663. Yes Bellur…

      Such a sad waste of humanity and public property…amaayaka janarannu kondu yenu laabha antha nu yochne madallvala ee terrorists…It’s very disturbing. All I can do is pray for the families of the people killed or injured.

1664. Indeed, the Mumbai train blasts made ‘Guru Poornima’ into
      ‘Gory Amavasya’.

1665. Its been a pain to watch Muktha now a days, also a waste of time 🙁

      Anyways, I did watch it yesterday and the follwoing is the gist of the story

      Part I

      Again!! same Sharavati and SK, talking about the same thing Nanjunda’s marriage and ‘Hotte urko’ling for the fortune of the MS and Co fr finding a solution to their financial problem in the form of PD.

      Part II

      Pandaribai and Maitreyi in discussion about the arrangements f marriage. MM’s old friends come in asking for MM. IAM is upset and asks them to wait till MM is back from election campaign. She explains about the rowdy looking MM’s frnds and how they’d ruined her son.

      Part III

      Home secretary Chalam talks to CM and RR about the reply to be filed in Hich court regarding higher inquiry into Rane and Co’s involvment in AM’s murder. RR, seemingly upset, asks Chalam to file some reply so that they get some more time.
      Chalam also hands over an intelligence report of election results. Which is in facour of SKD party.
      CM is upset and queries the agents varnekar and PR, talks to them. They say, their strategy starts just before the election and CM need not worry. They’ve planned to throw away money and brandy in return for the votes. And Jana Hita Party would surely win!!
      CM gets angry and says do we have to win like this??!! RR says Gandhi and his principles are dead long ago. Its the win that mattered today. If they didnt win, CM’s son would be in danger!!! CM is lost in thoughts.

1666. Namma UPA Sarakarakke yenu madokke aguthailla.ondu sanna kanoon POTA antha ithu swalpa terrorism na control madodikke. Adannu kithu haaki chitranna madibittaru. Nammarajakiya davaru bari Bashane madodikke sari, Napunsakru anthanu helabahudu, yavado minority antha sayuthare.

      Sathha avara athmakke shanti sigaliantha devaranna bedukolonna

1667. Really good posts RK. Prasanna terrorism control maaDbodittu annodu bari speculation ashTe, adu global problem yella kaDe iruthe. It is said that all that is nothing but a reflection of what is within oneself, but I know that sounds too incredible. Gandhi was one of the people who could understand that, that’s why he used to go on a fast etc to try work on himself and purify himself every time there was any violence somewhere in the country.

      An old post on terrorism, not sure how relevant it is in the current situation: war against terrorism

      ——-

      Somewhat off track, heard this on radio this morning…

      Someone asks a boon “nanage haNa, aasthi, aishwarya beku”… and he gets a reply “haNa, aasthi ninage sigolla, aishwarya bekaadre radio mirchi haakond keLu”

      Another more hopeless PJ… mel nODu, yen kANuthe? kaaru mODa. aa kaaru mODa ODaadakke petrol yellindha baruthe?

1668. “Yelai Kaaru mODave, neenu ODaadakke petrol yellindha baruthe?”

      “Petrol yaake beku. I run on water, which is in aplenty within me. Learnt this art from my guru, to whom i went to pay my obeisance y’day on Guru Poornima”

      “Who is that?”

      “Ramar Pillai”

1669. elli nodali terroristde kaaru baaru…

      enu beko avrige…

1670. We need to learn from Russians who doesnt give any time, if they come across something like this, before they attaack terrorist camps. We need to understand why we’ve gifted 1/3rd of Kashmir to Pak? We need to know why the Bangladeshi immigrants are granted illegal citizenship of India, votes?? power?? money??!! Shameful.

1671. Its all thanks to spineless politicians… whos isnt aware about the famed terrorist training camps in POK. If it was easy enough for NDTV to penetrate these camps and do interviews, is it not simple for army encounters or so on?
      Why dont they have the guts to bomb them? They go behind some minority vote banks and insignificant issues…dhana pishaachigalu…when 9/11 occued, USA went on bombing Afghanistan…civiilans and terrorists alike…Why doesnt India retaliate? With due respect to Gandhi Thaatha, this is a dog eat dog world.. doesnt pay to lie supine and take any crap a handful of perverted individuals are dishing out. God save india.

1672. Do we really have Ranes in our country?
      I thought Rane was just a character(!!!!)

1673. Srik,

      Raneyanthavaru yella kade sikthaare. Obviously NS must have seen at least 70% of Rane’s traits in some politician or the other…30% dramatization andkondru Indian Politics seems to be milling with Rane Clones.

1674. Just few days back , when we(Me and my husband) were travelling, i came across a hoarding (full size) of a politician in kanakapura road with a pose of namaskara..He rather looked like a terrorist than a public leader… pity.. thats the state of indian politics today where there’s no scope for educated-committed professionals to become our leaders today, becoz we dont vote …we dont encourage young revolutionary blood in politics, Till now best place for uneducated -drop outs, unsuccessful people is arena of politics -Only when this goes i m sure corruption and other attached social evils in country political system will start reducing

      I would say Civic awareness(Rights and duties) among people is the most wanted thing in this country today.

1675. Muktha Update

      12.07.06.

      1.MM returns from his election campaign. His old friends James and Co are waiting for him. He’s a bit surprised to see them. They inform him that they got to know that he’s contesting the elections and so they came to offer their support to him. They say that they are aware that SKD’s party is facing financial crunch, and so they offer to introduce MM to an Industrialist Fernandes who is willing to bear all the election expenses. MM refuses. They then offer to help MM financially; they say they’ll get lorry loads of people to canvass for him. MM says No thank you, if you are my true friends, then you would have come to meet me earlier. You are coming to me now becos you feel that if I win the election, you can get favors from me. If you want to support me, just come with me on my election campaigns, work as a volunteer. They look at one another, decide it isn’t going to work out and walk away.

      2.Vakrabuddhi SP speaking to maithreyi. He is going out of town. He tells Maithreyi that some person called Kalachaari will come to see her and she should give him 2 gold coins. She asks why and he says he’s asked Kalachaari to perform some Amavaasya Pooje in the graveyard to ensure SKD party wins. Maithreyi is upset, but he says it is required. Maithreyi asks him where he’s off to, he says he’s going to Pushpagiri. Maithreyi says that’s where MM is contesting, he replies with a sinister smile, that’s where I have work to do.

      3.Nanjunda back from SKD’s speech in Hemagiri. He’s just about to retire for the night when loud banging is heard, he opens the door to find his friends outside. They inform him that several of their Party Candidates are being bought over by Rane and Co, that he’s paying 15 lakhs per candidate to pull them over to his side. Nanjunda is upset. Ajji tells Nanjunda not to get too involved as it looks like Rane and Co may win, and then they will not leave Nanjunda alone. Nanjunda looks on, thoughtful and upset.

1676. There is one more problem with voters in India. We equate old age with wisdom and capability. Most of our top leaders are one step away from the grave.
      We need to encourage young blood. They have more energy and motivation. Of course, they may be even more corrupt, adu bere vishaya 🙁

1677. Sanjay, have you changed the Addition Software or something? These days, I am not getting the message “Neevu maths pass madilla antha kanatthe” 🙂 🙂 Or else, nimma sums solve maadi maadi volle practice aagibittide ansatthe 😀

1678. I agree,
      Kerala CM is 82 years old, TN CM is just younger to him by a few months!!! And the West Bengal CM out shines all with his age. They all seem to me like “Eeglo… Aaglo”!!!!!!!
      And there was one candidate in last parliament elections, who was just over 96 years of age!!!!!
      oh! my India!! dearth of youngsters in politics you see!

1679. Well Srik,

      How many youngsters want to get into politics these days? It has become one sort of “parampare” like if Appa politician aagidre then maga / magalu barthaare…illa andrenaanu nodiruva mattige hosadaagi yaaruu dhideer antha politics seroke ishtapadalla.Mathe many of our citizens are educated illiterates…Odirthaare, ashte. sutta yenu nadithide, adra bagge jaagruthi, yenu iralla. TNS anthavaru gantalu harkondu kirchidru ee tharadavaru irodrinda yenu prayojana agthilla.

1680. Its so sickening. Recently there was an election held allwa, in that one of our family friends participated and had a strange experience, which I’ve shared in my blog at http://srikslib.blogspot.com/2006/06/india-democracy.html

      I dont know if such incidents are frequent, ‘coz I’ve never cared voting and I know how bad a statement it is 🙁

1681. 12 episodes to go.

      Friends,

      I invite you to have a look at the front pages (y’day and today) of various national and international newspapers which carried the news of Mumbai’s train blasts by clicking here: http://ramblingwithbellur.blogspot.com/

1682. In yesterday’s episode, I liked the way SP told Maithreyi:
      “Putta, ee maata-mantra nanagu ishta illa. Aadre yenu madodu…Vayassaagtha aagtha, ondh reethi THIKKL-Hidiyatte.”

1683. Has anybody noticed that SP hardly blinks his eyes?

1684. Yes, I have noticed it since he was noticed in ‘Mayamriga’!

1685. i dont know(SP) his original name, but he is a brilliant theatre artist…

1686. By the way, friends, I have started blogging at Metroblogging Bangalore, starting from today. (I was recommended by somebody, and invited to be a contributor). The site is this – bangalore.metblogs.com. Do go and have a look, and leave your comments.
      BAsically Metroblogging Bangalore is a site where a number of Bangaloreans get together and blog about the city. Anything and everything about the city. So if you people have any idea about stories that I could write about – about Bangalore of course – please let me know. If you come across any good links, or stories or anything, then please let me know. Also, if you have any good posts on Bangalore on your blogs, you could draw my attention to it – so that when doing a story on a related subject, I could link to it. [What comes to my mind immediately as an example is Bellur’s CTR and Veena stores posts].
      Thank you all in advance 🙂
      And please do come over, read my posts and encourage me.. heh heh 🙂
      More info is there on my blog – http://nychthemeron.blogspot.com.

1687. Where can I read Muktha story?

1688. Hamsa, if you scroll down, you can see daily updates.

1689. Bellur, Usha, Shruthi,

      SP’s original name is Income Tax Sethuram. He is a brilliant artist.
      One dialogue I could recollect from ‘Mayamriga’ was –
      Sequence: His younger daughter gives him money to deposit in bank – “Putti, idaralli 200 roopayi togoltini. Nange whisky kudibeku annista ide, ninu chennagi hana sampadista irodu nodi nange khushi agta ide, ninge gottalva nange khushi adru dhukha adru whisky kudibeku ansutte.”

1690. illa Shruti maybe you’ve really improved in maths 😆

      Nowadays having meetings till midnight… oh boy…

1691. Hello Everyone,

      Will do the Muktha Update in the afternoon…if anyone else is free and has seen the episode, please put the update.

      Thanks
      Vani.

1692. Sanjay,

      Congratulations to you, your blog is rated first if googled. I had your blog address on my favourites list in my system and came to another facility of our’s today; you guessed it right! your blog came up first when googled.

      People and companies desperately try hard to be listed in the first page of google search results.

1693. Sorry,
      Couldn’t do the update because of the unexpected circumstances at our house… lol 😛
      Sorry!!

      Keep SMILING!! 😛
      Ammu 😛

1694. Hi! I am really lagging behind in the Muktha story, not having watched on both Thursday and Friday. Can anybody tell me if anything important happened? If not, then please don’t bother! 🙂

1695. Regarding Thursday and Friday, nothing unusual happened in those episodes.

      continuing with election politics…
      Some of the ‘good’ candidates selected by SKD were moved by Rane and co by throwing 75 lakhs to each person, who declared their retirement and capaigned in support of Rane and Co. And this has irked the man SKD too much. Manmohan and some other people talk to some of the ‘third front’ people who initially didnt support SKD, and mobilises them to acknowledge SKD as their leader.
      They confess at SKD that they were ready to support him in the Govt formation in case of a majority for them after election; And SKD agrees to campaign for their candidates against those who retires from election.
      So, everyone was sure of making Rane and RR ‘Mutti nodkobeku’.

      And this is the gist of the two episodes, apart from other usual Nanjunda and family stuffs. 😀

1696. Ok thanks, Srik! 🙂

1697. Thanks Ree Srikanth,

      I watched, but I forgot…yenirlilla antha maybe my brain filtered it off…:-)Adakke I couldnt put the updates…

      Friday’s episode I remembered that MP and Maithreyi have hopefully put an end to SP’s cribbing about IA and MM, and also they got MM and SP declare a truce.

1700. Ohhooo interesting things are happening in Muktha! Is Manmohan really dead? What could it be in reality? Come on, friends, start guessing! 🙂
      Btw, yday, Gowri and Thatha woke up in the morning and drank coffee without brushing their teeth 😀

1701. Yeah…! I tooo observed that, bad ooops bed coffee.

      And about that MM thing is… there was a link “Yelroo aa tara matadkota idru anta…” so I guess that means he’s not yet dead….!
      And now…my guess is he’d be half finished, and riding on this sympathy tide, SKD wins election.
      MM in coma for many days… Aru refuses to go there as she is shocked about it…and MM continues to be in coma…We have to bear the Pandharibais and Arus for some more time… 🙁
      And finally Aru decides to visit the hospital and just as in telugu movies… a message is passed to MM’s brains thru a vein of the arrival of Aru 😉 and he gets back to hear that he’s won the election.
      And Aru becomes modern Savitri 😡

1702. Ha ha haaa :))) Good one Srik!
      Btw, this is specially for Srik and Bellur – can you access your blogspot blogs? I cannot access any blogspot blog. I hear that the Indian Govt has passed a directive to ban blogspot blogs in India. There has been a lot of protest against it. This is of course against the rights of the citizen. If you are interested, I will put up some links here on the issue, how you can protest about it, and how to bypass the ban, etc.

1703. Hey I too am not able to access it today.
      I thought some problem with my firewall here.
      I didnt know of the ban…! There was no notice also before they did it. Please pass on some clues as to whats happening. 🙁

1704. Muktha Update

      17.07.06

      1.Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. Late in the evening. MM drops in, and all the family members gather and ask him “Kushala Prashnegalu”. He informs them that he’d come to see Swamiji, and that since their house was on the way he decided to come over. Ajji asks him to have dinner and he obliges. He and Aru go for a walk and he asks her if she’d be interested to marry him even if he loses the election. Aru tells him that she has full trust in him, and also tells him that they’d face anything that came in the future, together.

      2.Election day. Nanjunda is off early in the morning to cast his vote. All the family members ask him to be careful and not get involved in any sort of brush-offs. He assures each one personally and goes to the booth. (During this point, everyone was telling Nanjunda to be careful, he was saying “illa ajji, naanenu galaate madkolalla” “illa thaatha, naanenu galaate madkolalla” “illa Gowri, naanenu galaate madkolalla” “illa Amma, naanenu galaate madkolalla” as and

      3.Election Evening. Aru gets back home from the election. She asks everyone if they voted for SKD’s party. Thaatha and others tease her and tell her they voted for some other symbol. Aru is irritated and they tell her that they truthfully voted for SKD’s party. Aru asks thaatha if he took Money from Rane’s people. Thaatha says he did, but voted for SKD’s party. They continue to chat; phone rings and Gowri picks it up. As her conversation on the phone progresses, she looks disturbed. After she finishes, Aru asks her what’s wrong. At first Gowri hesitates to tell Aru, but later she tells Aru that MM has been shot and that people are suspecting him to be no more. Aru look shocked.

1705. Regarding MM, remember a long time back, there was an episode when IAM is in a temple and an ascetic comes and tells here that she will lose her husband and her son. This was during the time when a packaged drinking water firm was to come up in Jalakanteshwara. She comes and tells AM to stop giving license to the company. He brushes it aside saying she is getting superstitous.
      So if you see, she has lost her husband and now maybe, the son might die.
      I feel he will die.

1706. Regarding the bed-coffee, let me think out of the box….. Maybe Gowri and thatha had brushed their teeth earlier and again sleeping….just like that! So maybe, we cannot totally think they hadn’t brushed!

      And Shruthi, I was able to login and post an article in my blog y’day. Till afternoon, I was able to see my blog. After that not able to see anything. Yes, I too read that blogspot blogs in India are banned. Lets think what can be done.

1707. Bellur,

      TNS Aru ge bere huduganna nodiddaara hege? I feel that this twist was brought in to liven up the boring episodes…yaakandre after the case there was practically nothing to hold the viewers’attention. MM saayade bega Aru maduve aagi next week Muktha sukhaantya dalli mukthaayavaali antha haraisthini.

1708. Hi Bellur, Shruthi , Srik….

      Try going to http://www.pkblogs.com. From here you can acess blogspot. I just read the latest post on Bellur’s blog now. May work.

1709. Nice update Vani!
      Bellur, I used to do that in hostel. It would get crowded after 7, so I would wake up early at around 5 30 or 6, and brush, bathe, etc, and then go and sleep again, and then wake up at 7 30 and have breakfast and go to class 😀 I don’t think that should be the case in their house 😀

      Vani, i already tried pkblogs but that is also not opening at my end.

      You can see only the text version of blogs by using this –

      Also, for lots more info and constant updates, you can go here – http://www.withinandwithout.com/?p=854

1710. Shruthi,

      I was able to access ur blog with PKblogs! Pls check! Did you spell it right? The way I spelt it was nychthemeron. Hope that’s the right spelling.

1711. Just had a glance here… first I was wondering whats the big deal if some vague website is blocked… then was sorry to realise its all of your blogsites… 🙁

      Well you can always use a site like http://proxify.com to work around the problem. But I hope this gets resolved with a more straightforward solution. Also it should remind us to take backups of our writings!

      Subbaramu thanks for your wishes, more than anything I’ve written its mainly thanks to the contributors here – starting with Shruti who started with her daily updates! 🙂

      Here’s a list… a big THANKS to all of you… 🙂

      Also its really cool that its also a place where the contributors are able to tap into the readership by linking to their own pages and have got really good appreciation, eg look at this comment on RK: 8)

      “Bellur Ramakrishna,is a great talent I feel. I had a glimpse of his writings.”

1712. Working on a global project with colleagues across Europe, Japan & US time zones is a very interesting and educational experience, but it dosen’t give much scope for time to blog esp since the project is in a somewhat tight phase. Esp if one is a traveller on weekends!

      Managed to see a bit of Muktha yesterday after quite a while:

      Tata is saying he eats, sleeps only limited calculated quantity… He knows exactly how much is needed for him. Ajji retorts that if that was true, then based on how much he’d eaten the previous day in a function, he needn’t eat for a month 😆

1713. thanks sanjay and vani,
      could access my blog with both proxify.com and pkblogs.com

      hope this row gets solved soon.

      by the way, ‘Thithi’ oota (that was waht ajji was referring to) nnanu haage maadodu! when you eat, you feel you need not eat for a month. but next morning, yenu ootane maadilveno ondh thinglinda antha annisutte!!

1714. Thanks Vani, Shruti and Sanjay.
      I can now access the Hallucinations!, Rambling… and all other pages over there.

1715. Vani, pkblogs itself is not opening, let alone any website through that. anyway i am in touch with some other bloggers, and this is a problem for them also.
      Anyway the issue here is not whether or not we can access websites, and how we can access. The issue is that the government is blindly curtailing our freedom of speech. ACtually they found one blogspot blog, which they thought are being used by terrorists to spread messages. So they seem to have gone ahead and blindly blocked the entire blogspot domain!
      We are hoping that this is just a bad mistake, and that they will correct it soon. But i hope they do realize the mistake. IF not, all of us will have to look for different domains!!

1716. dear friends,

      “looking for different domain” is a better option.

      i have started one in wordpress. this is the link:

      http://bellurramki18.wordpress.com/

      just thinking after starting the blog: what if the terrorists use WORDPRESS too!! sadhya, government terrorists COMPUTER use madthare antha adhannu BAN madillvalla! imagine the situation when whatever the terrorists are using, the govt. bans!

1717. Just called up the hospital to know MM’s condition. Doctors say: CRITICAL YET STABLE. It seems he has lost lot of blood. He is in the OT.

1718. I had called Gowri. She says Aru is in a pretty bad state. Paapa.

1719. Oh God, Bellur,

      That sounds like those news bulletins we used to recieve abt Late Mr Pramod Mahajan’s health in every news channel, once an hour.

1720. Bellur – http://catsutorials.catsudon.org/?p=15 — gives you detailed instructions on how to import all your blogs, including comments, from blogspot to wordpress.
      I will wait for a while, and see if the Govt comes to its senses. If not, I will also move to wordpress.

1721. ab abha, eno kathenalli swalpa twist kodana ella boreagirthare antha TN eno swalpa tensed madadre nivella enu aruge bere hero hudukthidira, ri MM chenagidanappa sayisodu beda, nangondu ata ide ARU MM marriage admele r beforre avara onde ondu romantic scene nodlebeku antha,

      what happened was i & my hubby were casually talking
      watching muktha i said what lovers i have not seen them as like once also, so Paddu(my hubby’s name short & sweet) said TN will never put a romantic scene, i argued y not if needed he will and argue went on & on.(u r thinking i am silly saying all this)

1722. You know why the blogs are shut down now?
      sites like Dalitstan.org, Clickatell.com, Hinduunity.com, Princesskimberly.blogspot.com and Hinduhumanrights.org – all sites that supposedly spread extreme views.
      The order banning blog sites was issued on July 13 though it was not officially announced. The Government alleges these blogsites were fuelling hatred and communalism.

      Long live secular-UPA govt;
      Also, I thought its none of their business to shut such a site which served as a last resort for the dumb-struck, helpless Mumbai crowd on the dreaded Tuesday. Who will explain these schizophrenic UPA leaders?!!!

1723. sanjay,
      thanks for making a lot of plans for our get together, but i may not be able to come for whole day like trip, between u all go for 1 day trip and enjoy but once we all will meet for 2-3 hours somewhere in resturant for lunch r something if possible, think over all of u, if not no probs,

      i need all ur guidance, as i told we will be shifting to kaggalipura, kanakapura road, near art of living. so i will have to quit this job, and i cant come from there all the way,so planning to do something,as freelancer without office time bounds,also something to work from home also will be fine, any ideas??, i do wanna support my hubby with this , avra soppigwe nanna uppu. pls give me ur suggestions.

1724. Muktha Update

      18.07.06

      1. Aru-Jr Pandari Bai is crying inconsolably. Amma and ajji try to console her. She goes on blaming herself. She says that she drove MM to this, becos he wasn’t keen on the election as he felt that chances of victory were less, but she goaded him, and so he’s come to that stage. Thaatha tells her its all a part of elections, she need not worry. Aru’s cell phone rings, she sees it is MM on the line. She speaks to MM who assures her that he’s safe and sound. Gowri speaks to him and asks him what the fuss is all about, he says that he was attacked in Sampige Katte by Rane’s rowdies, but immediately he was protected by SKD’s men. In the melee that ensued, someone fired a pistol in the air, immediately the rumors started that he was shot. He assures everyone that he’s fine.
      Aru asks him to meet her before he goes home for the night.

      2. SKD’s house. All of SKD’s Front members assemble. Each of them report the election details to SKD. From each of the party, they estimate around 20 seats, effectively SKD sees that they may win 70-80 seats. They feel very upset. Election news is on TV, They announce that acc to the exit polls, Rane and Co may win with a sweeping margin. SKD feels very upset. At the other sie, Ramana Rao & Co are celebrating. Varnekar is gloating with pride. One of Rane’s disciples, Dasappa tells RR that he wants to become a minister. RR assures him saying that definitely Rane will become CM after obtaining bail, and after that everything will be alright.

      3. SKD sitting gloomily in the dark. DySP Devanand and another person come to meet him. He also paints a gloomy picture about election. He says there was lot of booth capturing, bootlegging etc happening. They had been instructed to capture SKD’s followers under any pretext and file cases, but they did not do so. SKD is very upset and starts scolding the voters that they were swayed by money, and did not vote for righteousness and truth. Ultimately Rane will become CM. Devanand contradicts him and says that’s where you are wrong. On the exterior, it looked as if they supported Rane, but everyone has voted for you. SKD then says that exit polls predict Rane to be the winner, Devanand says obviously they were scared of Rane, and so they have told that they voted for him, but in truth, it is you they have voted for. SKD Smiles.

1725. Srik, ‘Long live secular-UPA govt’ ??? I know you are being sarcastic here. Enough is enough, this govt is acting all crazy. Well, people might still do spread hatredness using emails, websites etc. But their reasoning is you can track the e-mails but not blog posts. Our Sanjay anna has proved time and again that comments can be traced to IPs (am i right?).

      Its all nonsense and highly illogical what they are doing. Some one please tell them all the good things that are happening through the blog-world. Like Srik mentioned, it was greatly effective for communication during mumbai blasts when all other means were dead! Needless to say the way blog is bringing people with constructive mentality together to do something good for the society!
      God save us!

1726. Hey, glad that Manmohana is hale and hearty. I couldn’t have borne any more tears from Aru! 🙂

      Of course, the other Manmohan’s people are behaving pretty strange with regard to the blog blocks. Anyway let’s wait and see what will happen.

      Welcome back Chaitanya, where had you disappeared? 😀

1727. True Chaitanya,
      If not for this blogspot, we would’ve never met!!!
      If the govt. is very serious about the communalism thing, let them ban all the Islamic and Hindu right wing political parties and groups. Those are major threats than the blog spots which are used by only 0.001 (Im exaggerating, adjust madkoLi) percent of total Indian population!!!
      Dont we have rights to say what we think!! Its all crazy…
      Not only this..there are so many other things this Govt is up to. As you said, Enough is Enough.
      Lets hope these people come into senses before it is too late. 🙂

1728. sanjay,
      thanks a lot for bailing me out from a trishanku situation!

      shruthi,
      thanks for the links to import the blog.

      dear friends,
      as said earlier, from now on, you all are invited to visit my blog at this address:
      http://bellurramki18.wordpress.com/

      and my latest one is on the BLOCKED BLOGS. and some of my points coincide with Chaithanya’s.

      and how wrong i was to tell MM is CRITICAL bla bla… avanige shukradese ide….maduve aadamele maybe vakradese, beda bidi avella yaake eega.

1729. Thanks for welcoming me Shruthi, although I was in Read-only mode all these days 🙂 for reasons you can easily guess!
      And by ‘other Manmohan’s people’ you mean other politicians? Yeah its really strange, who gives them all such stupid ideas? Don’t we have any knowledgeable, logical people in the govt departments?

      I feel the ‘wait-n-watch’ may be turned into ‘demand-the-right’ approach using RTI etc that we see on ndtv these days. not sure how to go about though. Like Srik said, UPA is seriously violating ‘Freedom of speech’ to citizens in various ways 🙁

      Chaitanya

1730. Bellur,

      Not able to access your new blog…yenagidyo swalpa nodi please

1731. Chaitanya, I was talking about Manmohan Singh 😀
      Vani, the link to Bellur’s blog is correct allva – I did not have any problem accessing it…

1732. No Shruthi,

      Some dialog box pops up…asking me which program I want to use to open the file. Any other method? In fact I was able to open it once early this morning, but after that, no success.

1733. Vani,
      There is no problem in accessing the site. Just click on the link in my below comment or on my name in this comment. It should be fine. Good luck.

      Sanjay anna, what might be the problem? F1 please!

1737. Ya this govt strategically seems to be doing all the wrong things. Had very high hopes of MM Singh, but he seems to be the worst pm in indian history.

      Let me stop here and not speak about govt.. otherwise, this blog would be blocked too…. (too communal)

      (of course simi and other outfits are not communal and we need to help these minority ppl in india, help them grow, help them take over our land)

      ya long live MMS and UPA!!!! of course.. also SG. Wonder how that family has been fooling crores of ppl by misusing the “Gandhi” surname!!

      sorry 4 the frustration… i read the blog by srik. Amazing. God help india and Indians….

1738. bellur avre, im able to view your blogs. But im accessing from singapore.

      India Blocks Blogs in Wake of Mumbai Bombings

      NEW YORK TIMES

      By Somini Sengupta
      July 18, 2006

      NEW DELHI, July 18 — As India’s financial capital, Mumbai, observed a moment of silence today to commemorate the serial bombings of its commuter trains seven days ago, a blistering silence blanketed the Indian blogosphere.

      For reasons yet unexplained by the authorities, the Indian government has apparently directed local Internet service providers to block access to a handful of outlets that host blogs, including the popular blogspot.com. Indian bloggers have reacted with anger and confusion, accusing the government of censorship and demanding to know why their sites have been jammed.

      Nilanjana Roy, a Delhi-based writer who runs kitabkhana.blogspot.com, a literary blog, called the seeming censorship “a dangerous precedent.”

      “You have a right to know what is being banned, and why it’s being banned,” she said. “I can understand if it’s China or Iran or Saudi Arabia. I’m truly appalled when it’s my country doing this.”

      The ban, in theory, meant that people living in India were kept from reading anything that appeared on the blocked outlets — whether Indian blogs or otherwise. But the ban seemed far from effective. While some Internet service providers blocked access, others did not.

      Many more blog afficionados simply go around the blockade by figuring out how to read their favorite sites. One Web site offered help by way of a free blog “gateway.”

      “Is your blog blocked in India, Pakistan, Iran or China?” the site asked, and went on to offer instructions for outwitting the surprising shutdown.

      That site was prompted by the efforts of the Pakistan Telecom Authority to block blogspot.com last February, as they attempted to prevent the proliferation of Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad. Their publication had fueled violent protests across Pakistan.

      Last Thursday, a technician at a Bangalore-based service center of one Internet provider said the government had ordered the block of blogspot.com “due to security reasons.” Another service provider in New Delhi said the government, without explanation, had directed his company to block access to a list of less than a dozen Web sites. He could offer no details about the sites.

      Officials at the Ministry of Communications here did not return repeated calls. An official at the ministry’s department of information and technology, Gulshan Rai, said he was aware of “two pages” that had been blocked for spreading what he called “antinational sentiments,” but was unable to provide details.

      The secretary for telecommunications, D. S. Mathur, that bureau’s highest-ranking civil servant, hung up the phone when reached at home.The minister of communications, Dayanidhi Maran, was traveling in San Francisco and unavailable for comment.

      If nothing else, the tempest over the restricted sites is a testament to growing government anxiety about how to control this new and mushrooming medium.

      Like blogs anywhere else, Indian blogs serve as forums to pontificate on every conceivable subject: books, movies, politics, cricket. There are blogs devoted to everyday self-indulgence: one blogger, a self-described amateur photographer, writes of jogging in the monsoon, while another recalls what she wore to a cocktail party.

      There are blogs, too, that strive to be public service tools, including one that within hours of the Mumbai train blasts began listing phone numbers of hospitals where victims were being taken; called mumbaihelp.blogspot.com, it is among those blocked.

      Last Tuesday’s attacks on the Mumbai trains left a death toll of 182 and injured more than 700. A week later, frenetic Mumbai observed a short silence today in memory of the victims.

      It is impossible to know how many Indian blogs are affected by the blocking measure. One blogger, Mitesh Vasa, from Vienna, Virginia, has documented “40,128 Indian bloggers who mention India as their country.” That does not include those who do not name on their site which country they are based in, nor others who identify their country of origin, as Peter Griffin does from Mumbai, as “utopia.”

      Mr. Griffin, who helped set up the mumbaihelp site, said he woke up this morning to a furious litany of 300 e-mails, mostly from bloggers enraged by the government blockade. Among the speculations offered in those e-mails was that certain blogs could have been used by terrorist groups to coordinate operations.

      “Even if that were true, it doesn’t make sense,” Mr. Griffin argued. Anyone with a domain name, he said, could effectively do the same thing on an ordinary Web site.

1753. Muktha Update

      19.07.06

      Counting Day. Thaatha, Ajji, Aru and Gowri are glued to their TV. All the party members have gathered in their respective leaders’houses. Initial 5-10 seats go to Rane’s party, they are all overjoyed and start celebrating…media comes to meet them, then Muniyappa, one of Rane’s followers overconfidently declares that people have chosen them becos they were truthful, whereas SKD and co were unjust, and that Rane will be the next CM, Ramana Rao will be revenue minister and he will be home minister. When the press asks how did SKD win if he was wrong, Muniyappa says there should be one person at least in the opposition, so to ensure that he wins,we fielded a weak candidate against him.

      There is a sombre mood in SKD’s camp…though one or two candidates win, the initial setting looks like Rane & Co will romp home with a thumping majority. But as the day progresses, the trend slowly changes. Muniyappa who had openly declared that he will be next Home Min, loses the election in favor of SKD’s candidate, not only that, he also loses his deposit. Slowly SKD’s party gains the lead, with MM, MP and all others winning in their respective constituencies.

      By evening it is clear that SKD and Co have majority. They address the press. When a media person asks SKD what do they attribute their win to, SKD and others reply that the voters chose truth and integrity over deceit and dishonesty. Then a reporter asks SKD who will be the next CM, he says we will call a meet and decide, but the other leaders make a public announcement that there’s no need to call any meeting, we have won the election becos of SKD’s charisma, and also during the campaign, he was projected as next CM, so he will be the CM. SKD and followers go inside to celebrate. RR, Parvath Reddy, Varnekar and Muniyappa look gloomy and doomed.

      Ajji, Thaatha, Gowri and Aru light lamps in their Pooja Room and offer thanks to God.

1754. Another loss for Rane!!
      Time to celebrate 🙂
      Muniyappa has acted too well. He’s Rane No.2

1757. Usha, Vani, you two are experts! Hats off to you two! 🙂

      Vani, update ge thanks. I could only watch bits and pieces – but I could make out that ivarellaru gelltha iddru antha 🙂

      Usha, blogs bagge – basically somebody came up with a list of blogs which they suspected are used by terrorists to give out messages. So an order was given out to block these blogs. IF one blog was x.blogspot.com, these guys, instead of blocking only x, went and blocked the whole blogspot domain. So all our blogs were blocked. That’s the issue. Anyway, because of the furore and galaate that bloggers made, they have realized their mistake, and they will remove the ban – it is supposed to become ok in 48 hours.
      Meanwhile if you want to access our blogs, you can use this –
      http://inblogs.net/nychthemeron — for my blog
      http://inblogs.net/srikslib — for srik’s blog.
      of course, bellur has a new blog on wordpress, which is not blocked, so you can go to it directly.

      so, which hotel we are going? to celebrate SKD’s victory, beg beg elri, nanu hall book madbeku. Grand ashokana, Taj, Oberio,R Leela Palace??????

1759. Hi All,
      This is simply superb. oLLe chennagide nimma haaDaLita bhaashe. I was trying to read between lines but somehow managed to get the kannada kaaguNita of the haLLi sugoDu tumbida khannada!!.
      There were so many things that were discussed!! Indian politica, the adminstration, about the blog ban & Cyanide movie.
      What happened to Mukta episode updates ?
      I generally watch mukta everyday, but enjoy reading this section more than watching the serial. I would be just thinking the trend of next day’s discussion when I watch the current day’s episode.One thing is sure, July 28th aada naMtara mostly Mukta time nalli en maaDbeku anthaane gottagtilla, ee samaya ontara mukta goskara muDipaagide.
      Yesterday somebody said that TNS would display some stints of romanace between ARU & Manmohan & that is what exactly happened. Mukta is such a serious teleserial that even if ARU says ‘Ond sala nammanege band hogi, pls nangoskara, eshTe late aadru parvaagilla kaayta irteeni’ it sounds so romanatic.. Well, that was good one but!!! Atleast now let these two people peacefully share their feelings, isT dina antu kaNNa muchchaale ne aagoytu.

      This was my 2 cents to this section, though the language was very plain & simple.

      Warm Regards,
      Veena.

1771. folks,
      sanjay has given us an option for our next meet.
      kindly visit this page and give your suggestions.

      http://msanjay.weblogs.us/entries/354/get-together-of-muktha-fans

1772. best part i liked in yesterday’s episode of muktha was when muniyappa says to the press ..yen barkotheero barko hogi, nav ranene simhasanada mele koodsodhu,avra meliro casella mucchi avrana CM madtheevi antha, it is an indirect message to the people to start thinking abt elections and start voting , its our right to select able administratiors to rule, I am completly charged especially after attending Janaagraha’s Citizen awareness program and coincidentally watching election results of Muktha….

      Surprisingly Indian Democracy is the largest, most advanced, futuristic, secular in the world, and we people are not completly involved in the system , My concerns increase when i see lot many candidates (in reality)like SKD are still are not allowed to rule where rane kind of people are winning every election… Have we lost judging(electing) capabilities….. Vote… without fail even if it is local Govt, State or Union, even if its your locality residents associations, dont ever miss to Participate/Vote.. PLS PLS…

1773. Aiiika, pyate aiklella bo pasandagi alli bhaashenage matadtivri?

      BTW have u guys seen http://www.wikimapia.org. Its like google-earth, but anyone can mark their own place there. But what I found interesting there is, people have marked most bangaore places in Kanglish, like ‘lalbagu’, ‘parku’, ‘bus-standu’… Its so funny to read it 🙂

      Good news that blogs blocked will be removed. All newspapers, tv news y’day had full of the issue. If it actually gets removed due to public furore, it gives a sense of satisfaction that we are not yet Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or China 🙂

      And on next meeting, why not we all gather to watch Cyanide and eat masala dosa at CTR???

      Chaitanya

1774. chaitanya,

      you said it! excellent suggestion! will be great if we can make it happen (at the earliest)! anyway, the movie is in Sampige(malleswaram) and CTR too is in Malleswaram. And Sampige is not a bad theatre too.

      count me in!

1775. Srik – sakkathaagi bardiddira! 🙂

      Usha – next Janagraha meeting yenadru aadre helthira, naanu barthini.

      Chaitanya – Cyanide + CTR = volle idea!

1776. O

      Yav jina madikondideera cinema nodakke…swalpa munchene tilisrappa… miss madbutre bari kathe balagnalli odkobekaithadahe cinema hangithu, CTR thindi hingithu antha , neev nodbekithu , bo vyanagithu anthella, ameke shane bejar agoithade nange signilwalla dosenuu ,mathe Muktha Haadi ( Haadi is – Girijanara bhashe -which denotes their group)aiklu antha.

      Chaitanya -Good news that Blogs are not oing to be banned. I did visit wikimapia and was able to see my home… uttarahallli circle, lake pakadalli , Seems to be same pictures as google earth, i mean of same period…

1777. I have a suggestion , We can continue to plan an outside trip as well as a within city get together, since few can make it to the city one and few may not be able to travel and make it for full day gathering..

      so for city group – We can decide on lines of Cyanaide movie and CTR..

      For outskirt one day trip – We proceed on Mysore Road…

      What say friends…

1778. hmmm….

      Nammurina kathegalalu, films, serial elladrallu we see truth finally wins. I feel thats only possible with reel jagathu.

      lets compare it with real jagathu. In reality there can never be a person like SKD.

      Do any of you know about 1 pramanika politician till date? Any person who joined politics makes crores worth of properties and money. I have never read of a politician who after his term does not have any property or car and depends on pension for his livelihood. ya not to forget, their children or close relatives will become very successful businessmen. Idu onderdu casenalladre eno kakataleeya anbodu, adre its not.

      Navu bharatiyaru, bare samskruti, sampradaya, adarsha mannu masi tumba mathadtivi. Adre nijavaglu namma jannakke manaveeyate tumba kammi. Be it rich or poor. ya here and there we see some good things, but comparitively its bad.

      I can give you many cases and many places where people lack basic humanity. First and foremost, its the government hospital and clinics. I dont need to elaborate since everyone knows about the state. Anyperson who has been outside India, will realise how bad our system and people are.

      But the good thing is, maybe due to globalization many are acknowledge and realise this fact.

      Maybe TNS avru ide sandesha kodta idare ansuthe… lakshantara swartigallali obbru SKD eddu kanistare, but fact is we dont have anyone like that in our society today.

      namma jana bhagavadgeete channagi arta madkondiroru “KarmanyeVadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana,

1780. I saw one funny thing a few days back on CNN IBN.
      Nam Rabri aunty avathu Patnadalli protest madtidru “Sorutihudu Maneya Maligi” anta aadre adu nam Sharief ra padakkinta solpa different sorike, “Sorutihudu Maneya maaligi agnanadinda” annodbitbittu “Sorutihudu Maneya maaligi maLeya neerininda” anta..
      I was happy to see her in that condition, since I thought that she also need to know the kashta sukha of normal people.

1781. ooops forgot! it was her Govt. house that was flooded that day. So she was out protesting, not for anyone else.

1782. Srik,

      After reading your comment of house leaking during rains in Rabri’s house, I remembered our Annavru’s film ‘HAALU JENU’ in which he sits with both legs on a stool holding an umbrella when it is raining. The house is leaking like mad and is full of vessels (small and big), buckets, tumblers where ever it is leaking. And right then Thoogudeepa Srinivas, the landlord, comes asking for house rent. Ranga (Rajkumar) makes him sit and starts pouring all the water from these vessels saying, ” le, baddi bsava, baadige beka, thogo, thogo”.

      Most of you may remember this scene. Really funny scene!

1783. blogspot, typepad are all back for me!!!

1784. chaithanya,
      no luck yet….
      BLOGSPOT BLOGGERS STILL IN A SPOT OF BOTHER!

1785. when …..when is this serial mukta ending??????

1786. Jewel,
      Mark the date on the calender:
      July 28th, 2006 exactly at 21.30 hrs. IST, i.e.

1787. Just thought about this now.
      What a coincidence that the post I wrote on Friday, the day when the blog blocking started, was on Hindus and Non-Hindus! Wondering why my blog didn’t come under the hammer? You can read the post here:

      http://bellurramki18.wordpress.com/2006/07/14/it-pays-to-be-a-non-hindu-in-hindustan/

1788. ah now we know who is to blame for the banning! 😈

      ha ha ha bellur you’ll get targetted by the whole blog-mob… 😆 Anyway I hope somebody noticed the other URL which said that there was never a ban in the first place and it was only a temporary security measure… Cheers that peace is restored! 🙂

1789. ayayyaappa nim bhaasheyella keLi keLi nan kannada yella yakkuttogaithe!

1790. houda…? I can access all your blogs now, which I couldn’t yesterday. May be not all the ISPs have given access. BTW at our company its VSNL.

      I had a question, what would be the change for us, personally, after July 28th 🙂
      Would we reach home later than now?
      Watch some other channel at 9.30/11.30 or the alternative in e-tv at that time?
      Switch off tv at 9.30?

1791. I’m back to depending on Muktha updates. And, why do you people have to organize a meet when I’m not in India. 🙁

      When will this kind of a political party come to power in India, when, when…

1792. Hey Srik / Bellur,

      Nimma Blogs nalli Tirupathi vishaya prastaapavaada hinnaleyalli ondu related suddi eega thaane That’s kannada website nalli odide…yendnadre innu mele all employees of TTD are going to compulsarily adorn their foreheads with Tilakas anthe….TTD is taking steps to ensure that the conversion propaganda does not spread any further I heard.

      Regards,
      Pradeep.

1798. hi,

      2day i’m writing full ultra modern english(yengalish)words.
      u know, i met ya somebody who was just yapping off too much in english.all those da,ya,shit etc were just flowing and they r pure cannadans(kannadigas).

      have u people noticed that sometime unneccesarily people think speaking in english is really great in front of stupids like me.

      there is a rumor they say that, navu kannadadovru bere basheyoru bandre easyagi avrde bashe kalthkothivi but avrge nam bashe kaliyoke avkashane kodalla antha. ade bere statesnalli nav odre avr language mathadbeku,gothidru avru nam bashe mathadolla anthe, y this ????

      hey, i write all this it doesnt mean i hate english, no! its my fav. language.i always boost that i can survive all levels that is state,national, international.statenalli KANNADA,nationalnalli HINDI,internationalnalli ENGLISH.
      jasthi agoyothalva kochiddu,ogli bidi eevathge estu saku. mikdu nalege.

      bellur nin karkondogthiya andre og bandu kamment bidu andallapa shane idiya bidu.

      y nobody has updated yes. muktha?

      even it disturbed me very much abot tirpathi, ah what did u people comment abot jayamala entring & holding god’s leg????

1799. Im unable to access blogspot even today 🙁 (of cource can do it the ‘other’way, anyways 😉 ).
      Pradeep, As far as I remember, the poem goes like this (This is all they recite on Muktha)
      “Kattuvevu navu hosa nadondanu rasada beedondanu
      Hosa nettarukkukki aari hoguva munna Kattuvevu navu hosa nadondanu rasada beedondanu..”!
      And its lyrisist is Prof. Gopalakrishna Adiga. Adiga has been considered as one of the pioneers of modern style Kannada literature called ‘Navya shaili’.
      His famous poem Kattuvevunavu is a part of his book with the same title. Im sorry, i donno the complete poem.

1800. Hi friends

1802. Hello Yella Abhimanigaligoo Namma Abinandanegalu

1803. from Vani…

      Muktha Update

      20.07.06

      SKD & Co go to meet the governor and stake claim to form the government. SKD gives all the relevant documents regarding their decisions about forming the cabinet, CM Candidate, no. of seats won etc. Governor tells SKD that they have won 125 seats, which is 6 short of the simple majority. At this, Shanta Veera Swamy, the leader of the rebel faction of Rane’s group which joined with SKD’s group at the fag end of the election, gets up to speak. He says that all of his party members, 21 of them, are ready to support SKD. Governor cites some technical reason and says that he has to have documentary proof or the MLAs themselves must be present in order to assure Governor of support to SKD. They agree to this and inform the Governor that they are ready to support SKD. SKD and Co come out of Governor’s residence and address a press meet and inform media that the governor will invite them to form the Government the next day.

      Mallikarjun Swamy’s house, early the next morning; Thaatha, Gowri, Aru and Ajji are having Coffee. They discuss Govt formation and other issues like whether MM will become a minister etc. Aru informs them that even if he gets a chance, he’s going to ask that MP becomes Minister, becos SP wants to see his daughter as a minister. Thaatha expresses doubts about Shanta Veera Swamy’s loyalty to SKD. Ajji snubs him and tells him that he need not worry.

      Hospital. Rane is pacing the room, fuming. RR and Parvath Reddy come to meet him. RR goes inside Rane’s room. Rane is very angry about the entire sequence of events. RR tries to pacify him, but is unable to do so. Rane wants to know the whereabouts of Parvath Reddy (PR) and Varnekar, RR brings PR into the room. Rane is very angry and starts scolding them in very cheap sort of language. PR says that voters have disappointed us, thy took our money but voted for them, we could not do anything. Shanta Veera Swamy played a double game by joining them at the nth moment. Rane is very angry and says I will not allow you people to be comfortable with Government Cars and Bungalows while I have to rot in jail. We have to form the government. RR looks clueless and gets a round of sarcastic remarks from Rane. He tells RR to speak to Shanta Veera Swamy and work out the equation. RR agrees. Rane has a sinister smile on his face.

1804. Muktha Update

      21.07.06

      Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. Nanjunda’s friends, all of those who worked during election campaign come over. They are all offered Payasa. One more round of SKD praise goes on. Aru is subject to some light teasing about MM. Someone goes on to ask her how she would behave after she became MM’s wife. Thaatha pretends to be someone asking to meet MM. Aru says he doesnt meet anyone out of the blue and that prior appointment is required. She asks thaatha what he’s come to see MM about. Thaatha says that he has a beautiful granddaughter for whom he has come to ask MM for a job as MM’s secretary. Aru says that it’s not possible and if thaatha brings his granddaughter she’ll break that girl’s legs. MM walks in and says what if I want her as my secretary…Aru replies that she’ll first break his legs and then that girls’. Everyone laughs.

      (I am not sure about the first part…I started watching from after 1st break…this I heard from my dad)

      Late at night. Shanta Veera Swamy’s (SVS) residence. He’s asleep. Parvath Reddy(PR) opens his bedroom window
      and calls him outside to talk. SVS is angry and asks him why he came at this unearthly hour. PR tells him Ramana Rao (RR) has come to meet him. SVS goes outside. RR tells him that they are ashamed to have behaved badly with him before the election. They tell him that SKD is giving him a bad bargain by making him the education minister…rightfully he should have been Dy CM, and that at least 10 candidates from his side should have been made ministers.SVS is first not swayed, but PR, RR and Varenkar tempt him and he decides to support them.

      Next Morning. RR , Muniyappa and others meet Governor. He asks them the reason for their visit, they tell that they have the required majority and request him to invite them to form the government. Again the necessary equations are worked out, governor says that they still fall short of 22 MLAs. Muniyappa stands up and says SVS group will support them. Governor scolds SVS for changing his stand. He says he cannot wait for too long and asks RR to get support letters from all of SVS group MLAs individually. RR is reluctant, but Governor insists. RR says he will get the letters by the next day. They walk out and announce to the waiting media that Governor has asked them to form Government with SVS support. They make an open display of support for each other by posing for pictures together.

1805. hello sanjaya bhayya i asked u TNS sir E-mail Please give. i am also one of the greate fan Muktha.PLeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

1806. Is it possible form the government to Rane party.
      what i am thinking is may be shanthaveera swamy party MLA may not agree to support Rane party.

1807. I totally loved the way Rane got angry in Friday’s episode. Esp when he said tauntingly “A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha”.. to Parvata Reddy. 🙂

1808. Hi

      Is it sure that muktha is going to end on July 28th, lot of twist in the story…. Thatha has been right in somehow guessing / nasbayi haking about the events of future.. 😀

      Kahani mein twist What if half of SVS party decides to support Rane and other half to support SKD… hung assembly and re-election.. and re campaign, re-Delay of Nanjunda and Aru’s marriage ….. and instead of Kattuvevu navu hosa nadonda… we all sing … Yendu… Aaadevu … Naavu … Muktha… Muktha ….Muktha 😀

1809. Usha ….

      Sakappa….please….SVS party avarige Devru Olle Buddhi kottu SKD party support mado hagaagi Arundhati & Nanjunda Parinaya mugidre devarige special namaskaara haakthini…You know, still Gowri’s aasthi baro vishaya pending ittiddare TNS…allige adanna close maadtharo hege? nangu doubt ide ishtu bega mugisthaara antha.

1811. Guys , did anyone know that Governor role is enacted by V.Bhat of Vijaya karnataka..? Amazing, TNS is successful in bringing all the journilism folks to tele serials.

      No doubt Bhat carries that “Gatthu” needed for the role & his dialogue delivery is indeed very nice.

      I got to see this yesterday in Thatskannada.com

      Warm Regards,

1813. Vishweshwar Bhatt as Vishweshwar chaudhary. Awesome! Its a good move for muktha but done at a stage when TRP ratings have moved down like BSE sensex.

      Veena: You are right. sanjay, knock this off maths puzzle

1814. Five more days to go, and so many loose ends to tie up! I agree, I don’t think the serial will get over on Friday 🙂

      Btw Sanjay, your arithmetic program is being very kind to me. Nowadays it is just asking me to add “0 and 2”, “0 and 5”, “0 and 10” etc. 🙂

1815. yes shruthi, pandaribai purana shravana might go on until this samvatsara.. and may be kaliyuga manvantara also hedrikobedi.. since sharavana shuruaithalla .. swalpa vrutha kathe text bandbidthu.. ivathinda Gandan pooje, amele nag panchami yella shuru aithalla line agi… 😀

      Prasanna… Good if it continues… We can continue to blog kahani mein twist and continue to interact…..

1818. Veerabhadrappanavare, TNS dosen’t check email in fact he dosent want much to do with computers at all… you can also check for an email addr at the end of a muktha episode, i think its muktha@bhoomika.anet but so far Ive never gotten a decent response from that one!

      Vani/Girish, that anti-spam thing is just a plugin for wordpress, don’t know the algorithm etc… sorry if its troubling you but that was the best i got… pls refresh your browser before posting the comment (and of course save ur comment ctrl-a, ctrl-c (select all, copy) before refreshing!) If I knock it off (once I did that for just a few hours while experimenting with something) and got knocked off with a huge amount of spam by bots!

1819. Thank u Sanjaya,

      i am very unhappy becouse i came to know abt this site at stage end of the Muktha. incase i know this before i can also join with u all. but though no prob i will keep touch with u. thank u for giving such a usefull site we also share our feeling and thoughts in this site. thank u once again.

      1. Gayatri says “Nanu ee manege bartini anta ninna bega kaliso plan madta idivi” 😀
      Aru’s face was dekhne layak tha 😉

      2. “Jana ella wrong agbittidare saar. Nange chappalinalli hodedru saar. eegle hodre ondu state minister aadroo madtare, illa andre adoo illa; Manaa noo hogathe saar.”-SVS
      PR and RR’s faces was dekhne layak tha 😉

      3. “RaNe call madidare saar” – secretary to RR.
      “Illa malgidini anta heLbidu!!”- RR
      Rane’s face was imagine karne ki layak hoga 😉

1821. Muktha Update

      24.07.06

      1.Hemagiri Matha. MM comes to meet Swamiji. Swamiji remarks that it’s been a long time since he saw MM. MM replies that there was lot of pressure because of elections. Swamiji says he stays away from politicians; they make too many lame excuses. MM tells Swamiji that he’s first a devotee of the Matha, next a politician. They discuss current politics after that, with Swamiji asking MM who’ll form the government. MM apprises him of the situation and says that SVS cheated them. Swamiji tells him that these are small obstacles that need to be overcome before truth triumphs.
      He tells him that as long as Governor has not asked RR to form the Government he need not worry. He also remarks that he’s come to know that MM & Aru are getting married. MM acknowledges and says that he’ll come with Aru to invite Swamiji for the wedding. Swamiji remarks that he’s happy that MM is marrying Aru. MM says if I am a changed man, the credit is all yours. Swamiji replies that you seem to have changed because of Aru. MM leaves.

      2.Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. Ajji is braiding Gayathri’s hair. Thaatha asks Gayathri about the wedding preparations in her house. She replies that everything is going full steam. Amma brings coffee and Kodubale for all of them. Gayathri reluctantly asks Amma that she wants to get something clarified. She asks them if Srikantha and Sharavathi do not like them. All of them are quiet, she continues. She says that the last time she came over, Sharavathi invited her inside and told her that she may not be able to attend the wedding, and gave her Arishina Kumkuma. She further asked her if Gayathri wanted to live in the combined family after getting married, and also told her that these people are not as good as they appear. Amma asks Gayathri if she wants to live separately after getting married, Gayathri tells Amma that she wants to live with all of them, and that she likes all of them wholeheartedly. Aru walks in to find Amma patting Gayathri’s cheek and jokes about it. Gayathri replies that we are planning on how fast we can send you away. Thaatha asks Aru about Nanjunda’s whereabouts. Aru replies that he & his friends have gone to SVS district. They all crib that he’ll get into trouble. Aru defends him and tells them they need not worry, he will not get into trouble, and he’s gone to fight for justice.

      3.Late at night. Ramana Rao’s residence. RR and Parvatha Reddy (PR) are having a glass in their hands. RR’s secretary descends the stairs speaking on the phone. RR asks him who was on the line and he replies that it was the home secretary. He informed that High Court has asked Government to initiate proceedings against Rane in the False Witness case. RR asks PR if he was able to speak to SVS or his other colleague. PR replies that he’s been trying since evening, but hasn’t been able to get them. Door bell rings, and secretary admits SVS and his friend inside. RR asks him when he’ll get the MLAs to Raj Bhavan, SVS says all his MLA’s are already in Raj Bhavan. RR is surprised, SVS replies that the media reported his joining hands with Rane’s party. Even his MLAs had agreed, but people who voted for them are very angry and have beaten each one of them black and blue for doing this “namak-haraam kelsa”. He says in fact my friend here has been beaten with slippers. None of the MLAs have been allowed to go to their respective districts, so all of them have gone by themselves to see the governor. Even Hemagiri Matha Swamiji called me up and told me what I was doing was wrong. I have realized my mistake and am going to support SKD. At least I can get some minister ship if I support him, illa andre aduu iralla. Also, as a friend I am advising you, please keep away from Rane, it’ll be good for you. SVS and his friend leave; Phone rings. Secretary answers and says that Rane is on the line. RR looks petrified….after a couple of seconds, he tells secretary to inform Rane that he’s asleep. PR looks on, worried.

1822. Yesterday Muktha was good – in the sense that “People Power” has been highlighted.
      Sumne koothidre yenu aagalla….. you have to stand up for your right, and oppose what is wrong – ee message kottiddare.
      Chhe, TRP innu high iddaga idu torisidre innu channagirtittu :))

1823. Yes Shruthi,

      Infact yesterday’s episode is an eyeopener for all citizens like us, It has been conveyed that we have all rights to approach the elected leader and demand him to work for developmental works related to Jana hitha. Its an episode educating citizen’s democratic rights and power…

      Hats of to TNS for creating a social awareness through an effective media in a successful manner…

      Oh, how i wish we had elected a party like abhivrudhhi ranga in reality… our state would on top of the world …Rama Raajya..

1826. Some of these politicians and government officials are Servants of the Public who make the Public into Servants!

1827. bellur,

      I doubt if he sits quiet in the confinities of a jail room. 🙁 There mite be some more games remaining before that. 😀

1830. Innu Gowriya aastiya vishaya sort out aagilla!! And they are wasting time with Ajji plaiting Gayatri’s hair! I seriously don’t think that the serial will get over this Friday!

1831. Hey All,

      Pradeep.

1834. vani
      where is yest. muktha for me

      sanjay,
      can u pls send my id to vani,r else can i write it publicly, how to get the ids of these friends.

1835. Friends,

      Most of you might have read about the violence by the so called Kannada activists for naming a film “MAASTI”. The name Maasti is symbolic with the great writer Dr. Masti Venkatesha Iyengar. Maasti Kannadada Aasthi – aptly shows the high respect and honour that Kannadigas showered on him. A film whose theme is violence, bloodshed and rowdyism certainly didn’t need a name called Maasti. (Some of you may say “There was a Maasti who was a rowdy. What can anyone do about it ?”

      The problem with our producers is that other than investing money to a film they know nothing about culture and heritage of our Kannada naadu.

      To name a film after Tirupati was also not correct. If you were to go by the violence and bloodshed that is occuring across the world, it would be apt to name a film after Mecca or Madina!!

1836. My God! RK, You said it, but commies would say your comment was communal. I donn want to debate on that 😀 .

      I agree these titles doesnt make any sense at all. Nor these producers have any regards for the culture of the land.
      One shocking thing was neither Upendra nor the producer of the movie ‘Masti’ did know that there was a great man’s name taken from this word!!

      well… if they called a movie filled with bloodshed wth this name, my respect to Masti Venkatesh Iyengar will not go down. And Im sure with all the admirers of Masti, he’ll always enjoy the same respect let it be before the movie or later on.
      This movie wont change our view of looking at his work in any way. And hence, it doesnt make any sense in protesting it the way they did, involving violence in it!!
      Doesn’t that show that these people who fancy themselves as Kannada saviours doesn’t know anything about Masti!! So unfortunate!

1837. Friends,
      Today is Kargil Martyr’s day known as “Vijay Diwas”. 7 years back, 600 gallant Indian soldiers laid their lives saving the borders of our Motherland. Please remember them all for a moment today. Thats the maximum we can give them.

1838. Yes Shrikanth

      I can only think of Lata singing in the background …

      aye mere vatan ke logon
      tum khoob laga lo naara
      ye shubh din hai ham sab ka
      lahara lo tiranga pyaara
      par mat bhoolo seema par
      veeron ne hai praan ganvaaye
      kuch yaad unhein bhi kar lo -2
      jo laut ke ghar na aaye -2

      aye mere vatan ke logon
      zara aankh mein bhar lo paani
      jo shaheed hue hain unki
      zara yaad karo qurbaani

      jab ghayal hua himaalay
      khatre mein padi aazadi
      jab tak thi saans lade vo
      phir apni laash bichha di
      sangeen pe dhar kar maatha
      so gaye amar balidaani
      jo shaheed…

      jab desh mein thi diwali
      vo khel rahe the holi
      jab ham baithe the gharon mein
      vo jhel rahe the goli
      the dhanya javaan vo aapane
      thi dhanya vo unaki javaani
      jo shaheed …

      koi sikh koi jaat maraatha
      koi gurakha koi madaraasi
      sarahad pe maranevaala
      har veer tha bhaaratavaasi
      jo khoon gira parvat par
      vo khoon tha hindustaani
      jo shaheed…

      thi khoon se lath-path kaaya
      phir bhi bandook uthaake
      das-das ko ek ne maara
      phir gir gaye hosh ganva ke
      jab ant-samay aaya to
      kah gaye ke ab marate hain
      khush rahana desh ke pyaaron
      ab ham to safar karate hain
      kya log the vo deewane
      kya log the vo abhimaani
      jo shaheed…

      tum bhool na jaao unko
      is liye kahi ye kahaani
      jo shaheed…
      jay hind jay hind ki sena -2
      jay hind, jay hind, jay hind

      Vande Maataram – Jai Hind, Jai Jawan -Jai Kisan

1839. In 1962, Lata sang the non-film patriotic song “Aye mere watan ke logon” at a function. The composer was C. Ramchandra and the lyricist was poet Pradeep. It seems the song moved Pandit Nehru to tears.

      I remember having listened to a Kannada version also of this song. Goes something like this: o nanna desha bandhavare…. Has anyone heard the Kannada version?

1840. And Usha, thanks for putting up the lyrics.

1841. No probs Bellur,

      thx for lyricist and composers info.. So Mukta 3 more episodes to go…
      kuthoohalakari hanthakke bandiruva… muktha.. muktha.. muktha…:D

      Aru, Ajji, Thaatha and Amma are watching TV. Gayathri walks in. Thaatha and Aru tease her about Nanjunda’s phone call to her late last night. She clarifies that he was informing her about his trip to SVS district. They don’t believe her and rag her. On TV, the news is being relayed and they hear of all the latest developments on the political front. Aru calls MM and gets to know all about the late night developments in Governor’s residence, ie, MLAs from SVS party offering support to SKD. Aru’s family is thrilled and congratulates MM.

      ——

      SKD meeting with Party Workers. MM goes to meet SKD. SKD informs MM that he wants to make him a minister. MM immediately declines. He tells SKD all about his promise to MP’s father about MP being made minister, and also that he feels that MP has more experience and would be most suitable for this job. SKD tells MM that youth are needed for the country’s progress, especially someone like him who believes in Gandhi’s principles. He also reveals to MM that he has plans to make MP a minister too, as most of the women legislators want her, and also she has served as SP, but he wants MM also in his team. MP will be a cabinet minister whereas MM will be holding a state rank. MM tells him that he’s very new to this field and does not have any experience; SKD feels that there are lots of inherent good qualities that he has noticed in MM.

      MM directly asks if his father being a senior politician had any bearing on his being has chosen. SKD replies in the affirmative but tells MM that he has the potential, and given a chance he will definitely perform well. After lot of convincing by SKD, MM accepts.

      ——
      Pandari Bai’s residence. MP comes in happily and informs Maithreyi that she’s going to be the future Home Minister. MM also walks in and gets to hear this. For a second, he’s upset and MP asks him if he’s not happy. MM says of course he is, it’s just that it was his father’s portfolio. . All of themshare some light moments when Pandari Bai walks in from the temple. MP tells her that she’s been offered Home Portfolio. IA is unhappy and tells them that she’s been having lot of bad omens from the time MM told her that he and MP would be made ministers. She asks them to decline ministership,becos she has lost her husband and is not ready to lose children for politics sake. They convince her and tell her that to build Rama Rajya, they have to go forward in spite of obstacles and that they will take care. Initially she is not convinced but they manage to get her round after much persuasion.

1845. Well, I have nothing much to comment on the Masti issue, but would entirely agree with Srik that the protests were totally uncalled for!

      But the issue reminds me of two things, one is the famous gaade ‘Naayi bogalidare…’ and the other one a scene from the hilarious movie ‘Ganeshana Maduve’ where in Anant Nag gets a puppy and calls him Ramana Murthy, ‘ley Ramana Murthy, nayi mundede, tindi beka…? hoditini nodu…!’. It was hilarious 🙂

1848. Muktha Update

      26.07.06

      1. MM is in his garden. His PA brings someone. MM speaks to him and praises him about his dedication during the election. He says I have seen many people who work less but exaggerate; you have worked a lot but are very modest about it. I will make you my PA. You can work with my other PA. Tomorrow is the Swearing In. Also I think you are aware that I am getting married. The wedding is on the coming Monday. I have no time. You please co-ordinate with my mother and take care of the wedding planning. Both the PAs assure him that they’ll do a good job.

      2. Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. As usual everyone is teasing Aru. Gowri asks Aru if MM has been allotted any portfolio. Aru tells her that she’s not aware. Gowri says the best portfolio for MM would be Women’s welfare. Everyone laughs. A van stops in front of their house and MM’s PAs alight. They come in and introduce themselves. They tell Aru’s family that they are in charge of the wedding arrangements. Aru’s family tells them that there’s nothing to be arranged, and that the wedding is going to take place at their residence. The PAs tell them that probably it was so earlier, but now our boss is going to be a minister…he cannot get married here. We have booked the Bangalore Palace for him. These people are speechless. Finally Thaatha musters courage and says that’s going to cost lot of money. The PAs tell them that they need not worry and that several industrialists and contractors have come forward to sponsor the event. They need to take care of some sundry expenses like travel and food. They then leave and Aru’s family is in conference mode. Aru tries to call MM but he is not reachable. Aru starts crying. Her family consoles her and she starts “nanninda nimgella yeshtu kashta aagthide…” Thaatha proposes that they sell off their land…Aru is very unhappy but everyone overpowers her and tells her that her happiness is of foremost importance.

      3. Late at night. Aru is still unhappy and still crying. Amma tells her to stop and get on with work. Everyone is getting ready to go to bed. Someone knocks the door. They find MM outside. MM comes in and apologizes for coming so late. He asks them if his PAs had come to meet them regarding the wedding. Aru is about to say something when Amma stops her and says that they will perform the marriage as per his wishes. He asks them if it wouldn’t be too inconvenient…they tell him that they will somehow manage. MM is very upset and tells them that they have grossly misunderstood him. He says that he always wanted a simple marriage and nothing has changed now. Ajji says but you are a minister now…he says I have been telling everyone that I wanted a simple marriage. Also all the industrialists and Contractors who want to bear the expense of my wedding will be behind me after I become a minister to get larger favors. I don’t want that. I know that you people are undergoing difficulties. Why dint anyone of you ask me what was going on? Aru says I tried but no one allowed me to. He clarifies that the wedding will take place at home itself. As he’s leaving, Aru asks him whether he wants a simple wedding wholeheartedly or he said it because of her family’s problems. MM replies that he wholeheartedly wants a simple wedding…after all he has learnt simplicity only after meeting them, that he has seen simplicity in their lives…

1849. Simplicity in weddings, it has been one of my main concerns all through , after watching lavish spending of people for marriages and later girl’s parents struggle for a long term to repay loans -borrowings taken for the wedding.

      TNS has tried to give this message too in Muktha.

      Dont we educated realise that lavish spending is not needed at all during occassions, its only the traditions and the ceremony practice which should be followed intact. I still remember a arya samaj wedding of a friend of mine, arranged in a house, with just near and dear people and a dinner hosted for friends and relatives later, the whole atmosphere was peaceful and nice.

      Of course i believed strongly that simple wedding is the best thing to do, I was more than happy and delighted when my life partner wanted the same we had a court marriage and a party later… We were able to utilise the expenses planned for the wedding in a better way..
      🙂

1850. Nanage annsatte Manmohan and Arundathi naa thumba melakke yekkasthidaare. Over aaithu.

1853. Bellur,

      I think this is kannada version fo maa tujhe salaam
      sung by SP

      Hey bharatiya nenu indu jagada kanna mundiruve
      Yellindha bandhu heyge thane eega illi ninthiruve
      Ee mannu ninna janma bhoomi yenu tyaga madiruve

      Nakshatra mandala dhata nadeva innu yellu nilladhe
      Jagakorva pragati suryanannu tarale beku tappade
      Ande namma thayi vishwa bharathi

      Ho ammaaa ninage sharanu….
      Ho ammaaa ninage sharanu…..
      Ninage sharanu
      Ninage sharanu

      Hosa daariyalli saagabeku
      Nakshatra mandala dhata beku
      Jagakorva pragathiya surya beku
      Ado nodu dhareya nireeksheya

1854. Usha,
      Sorry, this is not the one. I remember the Kannada version had been translated which had almost the same meaning like the original. As I told, the first line goes something like this: O nanna desha bandhavare….

1855. Oh, you have posted the Kannada version for Maa tuje salaam. I was still thinking about Aye mere watan ke logon and wrote the earlier comment. Sorry about that.

1856. Yes, I have heard this song “O nanna desha bandhavare” which was sung by B.R. Chaaya. Tune is diTTo( who is the lyricist for kannada song ?). Recently I think its during october 2005 or so, some people from karnataka including Ramesh Aravind, B.R Chaaya, Shylaja santhosh(udaya TV), Sudha bargur made a trip to various cities in US & collected funds for “Poor students of India”.. Manoranjani is the name if I remember it correctly, they even visited phoenix during that time, this is when I heard it for the first time. The sessions included signing programs by B.R. Chaaya & Ramprasad and comic talks by Sudha.

      This song is very good. With full emotions & really makes one feel very patriotic.

      In this function there was one person by name ‘Mahanthesh’ who works for some bling school(sankarshana or something similar). Does anybody here have more information about him or the blind school ? The school is in JPNagar, I had/have plans to visit.

      About the simple weddings, there is another concept called ‘Mantra Mangalya’ & the whole idea is pretty impressive. This was initiated by Kuvempu & I remember reading a book regarding this, which explains the different steps in it. Everything gets over in 2-3 hours.

      Mukta doesn’t have any sign of ending in near future(July 28th is out of question). There are lot of open ends to tie. TNS has promised in one of the samvaadas that he would give a good end to Gowri’s story so pradeep shouldn’t really worry about it.

      Lastly, any update on the ‘Mukta AbhimaanigaLa bheTi’. I want to watch the movie soon, so pls decide on this. If we don’t plan to meet this Aug 5th, then I would plan to watch it with my folks at home sometime this weekend.

1857. thx for the info Veena

      http://akkaonline.org/charity2005/charityreport.html report of manoranjani held in september -october 2005. I believe September 1 is the WKC – in washington DC, my sister was mentining that she will be going to DC for the conference, Namma Kannadada bavuta yella kade haarali..:D

      Thanks for the info about ‘O nanna desha bandhavare’.
      Regarding the meet, we may meet on the 5th and watch the movie. so request you to hold on!

1859. Samarthanam – A guiding light for the disabled [Courtesy: World wide web]

      Samarthanam is a charity-based organization operating from the southern city of Bangalore in India. The non-profit primarily works with the blind and the disabled children from the economically weaker background.

      The trust works for the education, including computer training and the rehabilitation of the blind and disabled people. The trust operates currently free hostels for 150 children, and has about 353 disabled children covered under the integrated education for the disabled program, which is partially supported by the Government of India.

      Speaking to India Post, the Managing Trustee of Samarthanam G K Mahantesh spoke of his visit to the US to raise resources for the construction of a new facility for the disabled which is falling short of $50,000 and for arranging programs for the well trained visually and the hearing impaired children’s orchestra in various locations in the US.

      Mahantesh took great pride in telling India Post of the achievement of totally blind girl who last year completed her chartered accountancy thanks to the education related training provided by Samarthanam.

      The Trust, founded in 1997 by three visually impaired friends, Mahantesh, Muddha and Nagesh provides opportunities for the visually challenged to showcase their talent.

      Apart from the visually impaired the trust also works with children with polio, other leg and hand disabilities, hearing impairedness, speaking problem to mild mental retardation and also children from the economically disabled sections of the society.

      The non-profit has a strong network in Karnataka and India and has tied up with the Cricket Association for the Blind in Delhi and works with other developmental organizations in India. Cricket training according to Mahantesh provides the disabled children with an opportunity to throw themselves around on the field, to strategize and calculate their moves.

      The trust welcomes volunteers and people who want to contribute to the cause.

      Sanjay, is there any option to get automated emails when somebody updates this section. These days I enjoy more reading this section than watching mukta serial. I keep thinking about the responses here when I watch the serial.
      But one thing is sure, Blogging is addiction, I have spent almost more than 45 minutes on this 🙂

      I just thought of posting one more!! Asking apologies!! the last statement in my previous post sounded so selfish.

      Usha avare,Mantra maangalya is a book written by Kuvempu.I have it with me, sapna dalli mostly sigbahudu. The cover is black(all poorna chandra tejaswi & kuvempu books has black cover page ?). Its a very small book around 30 pages. I can give it to you if you want.
      Neverthelss to mention, I am quite thrilled to know so many people who have very good orientation about kannada literature & other things.

      And thanks for the samarthanam website. Mahanethesh is planning to give IAS exams anthe, ivara bagge modala sala tiLidaaga jeevanadalli positive attitude eshTu mukya antha annistu. naavella(naanu) ivara munde waste.

1870. Muktha Update

      27.07.06

      Nothing much to write about. Swearing-in ceremony….Background ge Vidhana Soudha Steps torsi yellaraddu Swearing In torsidru to make it look realistic…after that late at night Hardev Patil (HDP), the ex CM came to meet SKD to ask excuse on not being present at the Swearing In. This was also time for introspection on the part of the Ex-CM, he traced back his 10 years rule…how Rane was the king maker and used him as a pawn to carryout his activities, how Rane got HDP’s son involved in dishonest activities so that he could continue to have a hold on HDP, how HDP brought SKD from the opposition to strike a balance against Rane …and wished SKD all success and cautioned him about Power…that it has the capability to turn a hero into either a villain or superhero. He also asked SKD to give him sometime to vacate the official residence. At the end, He told SKD that his son has blackmailed him into using his influence with SKD to withdraw all cases on Rane, and threatened that he would stop speaking to him if he dint do so.

1871. Bellur, ivatthu nimmannu tumba jnapisikonde — CTR avaranna Radio City nalli interview maadidaru, nimma dose ashtu channagi gari-gariyaagi hege iratthe anthella kelidaru.

      I couldn’t come to this site for 1.5 days… I was so lagging behind in the comments that I had to go to the previous page to start catching up – in the entire history of my visiting this page, that had not happened :)) Made me glad — lots of conversation going on 🙂

      About Maasti – my two cents – For the people who do NOT know about Maasti, after watching the movie, Maasti anda takshana rowdyne jnapaka barodu. So that way their protest is justified. Namgo.. Maasti is always the great writer – that will never change – so we might feel, what is this nonsense, antha 😉

      I agree with Aru-MM being shown as epitomes of goodness — abbaaa TV switch off madona ansatthe.

1872. Yeshto Bengaloorinavrige CTR na parichaya maadsiddu Bellur…in fact the first time I read Bellur’s take on CTR was on Rediff nearly an year ago….I was really surprised that someone else also knew about that heaven for Dosas….No surprise if Bellur is also interviewed sometime soon.

1878. Srik,
      Vidhyarthi Bhavan, you said, is where the winner of the Radio City contest will be treated. That’z the reason I think VB will be placed at No.1 spot by RC. Otherwise, some people THINK Vidhyarthi Bhavan is the best. But most people KNOW CTR is THE best! ;D
      [Just out of curiosity, i googled for both VB and CTR. The former got 15400 and the latter 19600.]

1896. Muktha Update

      July 28, 2006

      Scene I

      Aru is sleeping on her mom’s lap and is frightened about going to a more sophisticated family as daughter in law and not happy about leaving her family members and is feeling sad about it. Her mom pampers her saying every woman goes through that phase and assures her that she would be able to overcome her fears soon and she also teases that she would ask MM to come to their house and stay which would solve her daughters problems. Thatha and Ajji come back after inviting relatives and is on the trip to tease each other and argue with each other .

      Scene II

      SKD is assuring some medical college authorities about facilities and is reminded of some meeting by his secretary and also informs that MM and his sister have come to meet him. He excuses himself and goes inside the house to meet them. After formalities, he gets to know that MM has come to invite him for the wedding and says why he had to be invited, -unnecessarily minister’s wedding would attract lot of expenses and people and also Industrialists etc would come forward to spend and ask favours later, MM replies to SKD that it had almost happened the same way due to communication gap between his Secretaries. He says he had adviced them and stopped all that, they had almost booked Palace grounds for the lavish wedding through some industrialists, His sister Maithreye assures SKD that the wedding is taking place in Gautamkatte, in Aru’s house and it’s a simple wedding, all of them wanted it that way. SKD is happy and confirms his attendance.

      Scene III

      MP is getting ready for the cabinet meetings and is being updated by the PA about her programs, She comes down and is greeted by her followers, and she meets Inspecter Devanand, she comes to know that he has been waiting for long and is annoyed about it, She instructs her PA to not err again and Devanand should be allowed to meet her immediately at what ever time. Inspecter Devanand updates her that Shivraj Hegde had scolded him when he approached him with regard toVarnekar and Parvath reddy’s actions during elections and when he had tried to put them behind bars again. He also mentions that he has been transferred to North east , for taking actions legally on the illegal activities during elections. RR was then acting home minister at that time, and DGP has issued transfer orders to about 120 Officers who worked sincerely during elections. He also mentions about his ailing mother and requests (embarrassed) MP to help him stagger his transfer order for 6 months which would get him time to look after his ailing mother in her last days. He is in tears and MP moved by his innocence and is also annoyed about the event, she calls DGP and commands explanation for such action by the next day , She assures Devanand about cancellations of all transfer orders and reminds him at the same time to work with dedication , Sincerity , honesty etc and fighting against crime as the ruling party’s dream is to build Rama Rajya, Both sing Kattuvevu Naadu Hosa Nadondha…….

1901. Veena,

      Here is a late reply for your queries. Well, you had some doubts on Bangalore’s hotspots….VV Puram is in Bangalore, short form for Vishveshwara Puram, in the south of Bangalore, where you find great street food. Likewise, Pradhan Bakery is in Malleswaram, Bangalore, famous for Fried food.

      Coming to Rama Seva Mandali, Bangalore is famous for the music festivals conducted by various organizations in Summer, coinciding with the Ramanavami Celebrations. Rama Seva Mandali is one of the oldest institutions dedicated to this purpose, this year was the 68th year. It’s based out of Chamrajpet and all the stalwarts of Karnatic and Hindustani Music have performed at the mandali at some point of time or the other. It is not a music school, but there are plans to start a gurukula sort of setup dedicated to music sometime in the future.

      Hope your doubts are clarified. Pls feel free to shoot questions to any of us if need be.

1902. Hey All,

      Forgot to share this with you people…I saw SKD walking out og GK Vale shop in Malleswaram on Friday evening at around 7.15 PM…I couldnt stop the car and speak to him becos of heavy traffic.

      Usha,

      Veena, Sorry couldnt update you for your queries, in fact i had not seen the comment since it had gone to the previos page, If you let me know in which locality u live in bangalore i will try to refer some flutists /teachers for you.

      vani,
      nice to hear that you had sri pejavara swamigalu at your place. and skd at gk vale! maybe he came for a portrait snap which will be used at the 100 days function by his partymen!

1905. Vani,
      I guess SKD came to collect the photos of “Pramana Vachana” 🙂

1906. Thanks Vani for the information. Pls let me know if you know any other guru kula(music school)to learn music. I read the information/updates regarding B N Suresh in another section. It is awesome. illi saahitya haagu saMgeeta prEmi gaLu tumba jana idaare endu tiLidu bahaLa khushi aaytu.

      I visited one or two blogs(Rambling with Bellur & Hallucinations). You guys are fantastic. Specially the english. Looks like you have gathered some literature degrees along with your computers. I almost visit this blog more than 2 times daily. I was reading some old entries, they are all good.

      innu Mukta ending bagge, hmm.. MM when he was talking to SKD, maduve ee tiMgaLa 15ke ide sir antha heLida nenapu so TNS may plan to end on the independance day(just a guess!!) but it definitely needs another 2 weeks to reach the end(of course in a conventional way).

      Have a great week ahead.
      Veena.

1907. Usha, I stay in Cambridge road, Ulsoor. So going around this area should be fair enough. even + or – 10kms is ok.
      Around 2 years back, I had enquired in Arya samaj in CMH road but no luck. There is one more music school (connecting road to CMH) called Ranga kalaa kshetra, but the flute classes are held on Tuesday or thursday(till 7:30pm) there. Vid. Srinivas Murthy is the teacher If I remember correctly.

      After this, I didn’t try anywhere else. ee bangalore nalli onDu jaagadinda innond jaagakke hogo ashTralli usiru biddu hogatte. Look forward for your inputs.

1908. Hi everyone!

      Muktha didnt end on time, we have to sing in chorus in a very slow tempo, ‘yendu adevo naavu muktha muktha muktha….’ 🙁

      Well I had a query, what could be the origin of ‘Addet-mele-guddetu’ ! Any idea? (RK, expecting a funny one from you :-))

      Chaitanya

1909. Hi

      I was just going thru Etv kannada program schedule… Muktha’s slot is intact till this friday… so keep watching muktha muktha mukthaaa….:D

1910. oh people the slot is intact till this monthend and till 3 sept 2006 also.. so relax and watch muktha

1911. Chhe!

      Naanu bere channel ge shift aagodakke olle opportunity andkotha idde…..anyway, our tryst with Muktha continues….

1912. Usha,
      tumba ketta news kottidira…
      But sometimes how i feel u know, when we can’t bear a good serial being dragged a bit, then how the poor followers of ‘K’ series on Star Plus are doing it for so long??!!!
      Here, atleast we have a hope of Mukta giving us Mukti after some time, after a few more weeks, may be, but those poor fellows doesnt have that hope at all!!
      May God bless them.

      Chaitanya,
      I asked the same question to some guy long back, I donn remember who it was, but all I remember is I got convinced at his reply.
      Heres what he said : Addetu=Adda+Etu; Guddetu=Guddi+Etu; 😀
      Adda etu is a etu that is not straight farward, upon that its a Guddi etu, blind hit.
      Hitting the target even though it was not aimed properly and attempted without concentration!!

      I thought I’d got a convincing answer, waiting for more views on this one.

      Anyways, lets face the Muktha torture for some more time 🙁

1913. Ideega tane banda suddi:

1916. Muktha Update

      31.07.06

      Manmohan Weds Arundhati. Nanjunda Weds Gayathri.
      It was like watching a kannada version of Hum Aapke Hain Koun. IAM remembers her husband and gets emotional. MP sensibly asks her to get a hold on herself and go ahead with the marriage ceremony.Srikantha and Sharavathi try to act smart by refusing to participate, ie, give away Aru to MM. Shivaprakash chides Srikantha and asks him why he is being so petty; He tells him that he’s going to write
      a part of his property to Srikantha and Sharavathi and that they shouldnt pick quarrels for trivial issues with the family.As soon as they hear this,their facial expression changes drastically and they agree to perform the marriage.

      One of Mallikarjun Swamy’s friends brings a recommendation letter to be handed over to CM. When SKD sees the letter, he says why are you submitting it so early, the boy has just joined B Ed, Mallikarjun Swamy says that these days
      for everything there is advance booking, like in many schools people reserve seats even before the child is born. SKD says let us see.

      People gathered for the wedding also speak about Gowri and Swamiji’s wedding, someone directly asks her about her wedding. She gets upset and tells them that now’s not the time or place to discuss the issue. During the wedding ceremony,Gowri is shown with a conflicting facial expression, though she’s smiling, she’s crying and her eyes reveal her inner turmoil. That was really a very good piece of action from Gowri.

1917. Usha,

      CSP Purushottamanige phone maadidranthe….beligge Case ide, sanje bandu aashirvaada madthini antha.

      Innu Swamiji, janara bayige beelakke avrige ishta irlilla ansathe….paapa as it is Gowri was targetted, innu avru bandiddre innuu adhvaana agthittu.

      adu Adda idyalla… adhe geleyara katte avara apayayatheya guddina etu….:) hange adu bhashenalli Addatenia mele guddetu agidhe asthe 😀

1919. Chaitanya,

      Meaning of ‘Addet-mele-guddetu’ (My version):

      When a boy proposes to a girl and he gets a slap, that is Addetu. When the same girl agrees to the proposal on another ‘date’, it becomes ‘Good Date’.
      i.e. Addet mel Good date!

      That’s all your honor.

1920. ಒಳ್ಳೆ ಕ್ರಿಯೇಟಿವ್ ಉತ್ತರ ಬೆಳ್ಳೂರ್ ಅವರೆ, ‘Out of the box’ thinking ಅಂತಾರಲ್ಲ ಅದು. ಗುಡ್ಡೇಟು ಮಾತ್ರ ಬೊಂಬಾಟ್ (ಗುಡ್ಡ + ಏಟು == ಗುಡ್ +ಡೇಟ್).

1931. Thx shruthi for the link… well written… how true … irritating serials which convey nothing.. Another program i hate is WWF. I seriously do not understand fun of watching it. In fact by posting old links what you people have written is useful for us, since we are new entrants… that way we will not miss learning 🙂

      Going thru doordarshan serial articles… i recollect watching sherlock holmes, hercule poirot, Fairy tale theatre, spiderman, walt disney, Lucy show, alice in wonderland etc in hindi Yeh jo hai zinadagi, nukkad, chhoti badi baten , udaan (My favourite) etc there was another serial which was adopted from Pride and prejudice of Jane austen , i kind of developed reading habit after i came to know these serials and their adopted sources.. cable channels are nowhere near to those wonderful collections.. Munche kannada transmission timenalli kooda there were such wonderful programs.. yesth olle natakagalu bartha ithu…Sandarshanagalu of kuvempu, maasthi, gorur yella nodideeni .. wish we had these gadgets in that era.. i would hav recorded everything 😀

1932. Usha,

      After reading this comment of yours, felt like saying this….

      As our Prof. Shruthi told in the previous class, “Nanna blog promote maadkotha iddini antha andkobedi please, sometimes naanu heLabekaagiruva maathella aagale heLiddini antha ansatthe – matthe yaake heLuvudu, so i guide you to the corresponding link, ashte!

1933. Usha, yes, read Bellur’s post – it is a really fun trip backwards! 🙂
      And yes Usha, I would like to accompany you for naTakas! That will be great. I have your number, will get in touch with you. Btw, on a related note, look at this — http://bangalore.metblogs.com/archives/2006/08/jagruti_bangalores_new_theater.phtml

1934. Rangashankara oLLe chennagi kaTTidaare, typical plays ge anthaane. The way the seating arrnagements is & the ambience. Totally full marks.
      yes, Girish karnad after a long time, ODakalu bimba naaTaka maadidru(writer & director avare ansatte). onde ondu paatra stage mele bandru 3 paatra gaLu aa naaTaka dalli ive. I didn’t know that there was an english version also.
      Last week sudha dalli ondu lEkhana odide, Girish karnad had invited all female writers to watch this play & requested them to provide their views about it. Adakke lady writers ella negative aagi response maaDidraMte. Manjula Naik is been picturised as a negative role adu idu antha. This perspective was pretty intersting. Girish karnad kooDa extra marital affiars bagge bariyodu enu kaDime illa (Nagamandala also have some stints, hiTTina hunja, yayaati ivella almost based on the human lust)

      Amele Mukta dalli ondu vichaara nanage ashTond sari ansalla. ateevrusTi, anaavrusTi.
      Chinnrika time nalli laksha , koTi bagge maaTaaDo gowri family, onde sala maduve maaDoku duddirada stitige barodu enadu ?. Gowri company CEO antha onde dinadalli aagogadu (he family used to depend somuch on her salary when she used to teach music in MuTT) amele one fine day, fire aagbiDodu. idu reality ge doora annisutte. asTondu haNa bandaaga avaru onchooru save maaDalva ? Middle class janane vaasi(for eg., namma parents gaLe), monthly salary bandru tamma makkaLa maduvege/educationge antha yeshTo save maadirtaare. ivranthu CEO gaLaagi lakhs bagge maataDi maduve ge avarivara hattira duDDige hogodu.
      SKD & MD not having money to pay lawyer fees is also very imaginative. Prabanjan’s behaviour towards MD is the hughest hype in the entire melodrama. Educated aagli uneducated aagli heMDati kole case nalli kashTa paaDtaale andre adanna care maaDalva ?

      kaavyanjali, kaadambari, kusumaanjali.. abba abba innu list beLakondu hogatte. ivelladara bagge discuss maaDodu ondu utter waste. I sometime watch this serials for fun(with my MIL) varshada hinde obba vyakti ondu company CEO aagidre , next time naan serial noDidre, the same person would give out his entire earnings to somebody & uTTa baTTele mane biTTu hogibiDodu ivella nija na.. By default ellargu ondu extra marital affiar irlilla andre director ge niddene baralva ? That is a very dangerous & unhealthy trend.

1940. ನಾನು ಈ ತಿಂಗಳ ೨೧ನೇ ತಾರೀಕಿನಂದು ಭಾರತಕ್ಕೆ ವಾಪಸ್ಸು ಬರುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಅಷ್ಟರಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ನೀವುಗಳೆಲ್ಲಾ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಊಟ ಮಾಡಿ, ಮಸಾಲೆ ದೋಸೆಯನ್ನು (ಅಥವಾ ದೋಸೆಗಳನ್ನು) ಹೊಡೆದು, ನಾಟಕಗಳನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ ಮಜಾ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡು ಇರ್ತೀರ !!! ಪಾತ್ರೆಗಳನ್ನು ತೊಳೆಯುವ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾತ್ರ ನನ್ನ ಪಾಲಿಗೆ ಮಿಕ್ಕಿರುತ್ತೆ ಅಂತ ಅನ್ನಿಸುತ್ತೆ.

      ಇರಲಿ. ಕಳೆದ ಅರ್ಧ ವರ್ಷದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ updateಗಳೇ ನನ್ನ ಜೀವನಾಧಾರ(?)ವಾಗಿದ್ದವು. ದೂರದ ಅಮೆರಿಕನಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತು ಈ ತರಹ “ಮುಕ್ತ”ವನ್ನು follow ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇನೆ ಎಂದು ಕೊಂಡಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ನನ್ನ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು. ನಾನೆಲ್ಲೋ ನಾನು ವಾಪಸ್ಸು ಭಾರತಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುವ ಮುಂಚೆಯೇ ಈ ಧಾರಾವಾಹಿ ಮುಗಿದು ಹೋಗತ್ತೆ ಅಂತ ತಿಳಿದಿದ್ದೆ. ಈಗ ಗೊತ್ತಾಯ್ತು, ಈ ತಿಂಗಳ ಕೊನೆಯವರೆಗೂ ಇದು ಬರುತ್ತೆ (ಈ ಧಾರಾವಾಹಿಯ ಪಾತ್ರಧಾರಿಗಳೊಬ್ಬರು ನನಗೆ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಪರಿಚಯ; ಅವರಿಂದ ಈ ವಿಷಯ ತಿಳಿಯಿತು). ಒಂದು ಕಡೆ ಸಂತೋಷ ಮತ್ತೊಂದೆಡೆ ಬೇಜಾರು. ನಾನು ಕೊನೆಯ episode ನೋಡಬಹುದು ಅಂತ ಸಂತೋಷ ಆದರೆ ಧಾರವಾಹಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇನ್ನೇನು ಆಗೋದಿಕ್ಕೆ ಬಾಕಿಯಿಲ್ಲ. ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ತಿಪ್ಪೆ ಸಾರಿಸಿ ಕಥೆಯನ್ನು ಮುಗಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ ಅಂತ ಬೇಜಾರು.

      ನಾನು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಬಂದ ಮೇಲೆ ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಒಮ್ಮೆ ನೋಡುವ ಆಸೆ. ಮುಂದೆಂದಾದರು ನಡೆಯುವ “ಮುಕ್ತ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳ” ಭೇಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನೂ ಸಕುಟುಂಬ ಸಪರಿವಾರ ಸಮೇತನಾಗಿ ಬರುತ್ತೇನೆ (ಹೆದರಿಕೆ ಬೇಡ,ನನ್ನ ಕುಟುಮ್ಬದಲ್ಲಿರಿವುದು ಬರೀ ಮೂರು ಜನ ಮಾತ್ರ. ಬಹಳ ದಿನಗಳ ನಂತರ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆಯಲು ಅವಕಾಶ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದೆ; ನನಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿರುವ ಪದಗಳನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ಬಳಸಿದ್ದೇನೆ ಅಷ್ಟೆ !!)

1941. Ahaaa Bellur… that sounds so fantastic!!

      Usha, 7 30 should be possible…. aadare ee Jayadeva flyover open maadidaaginda, it takes me half an hour MORE to reach home – can you believe that?? New flyover makes traffic worse 🙁

1944. Hi Shruthi,
      I am a regular reader of BangaloreMetroBlogs. Here are my few comments on this !

      The Idea behind MetroBlogs are really a great !

      But i never felt that BangaloreMetroBlogs is a mirror of Bangalore, I cant find ” Nammathana” in it….

      Many blogers over there are a outsiders & they are bloging just the one side face of the city & never try to explore the other side of the face except few times…

      I really feel bad when the topics comes like Chinese/Chettinad/Panjabi/Madurai Idly/Ponnusami hotels over there & where traditionally hotels like MTR/CTR/VB fades out over there since no one worried about throwing a lights on it…This is not only in the case of hotels but this is one example which i told…

      More over the number of articles posted over there is maximum when compared to yours.

      I had really lost hope on BMB as here also we Kannadaigas need to face a tough competition with outsiders just to explore my own place (-:

      Lastly i am seeing some hope like “Karmodada anchinalli belli gere” from you ! Will you take this challenge & help us to glorify the Bangalore’s native culture ?

      Will you make us to feel that i am reading NAMMA BengalooruMetroBlog ? Will you promise that i wont be “Aparichita” in my own land ?

      I will be greatful if you can afford to save our Nammathana !

      Few days back i had asked about you mail id in your blog but i guess you forgot about it.

      Shruthi ! Begaloorembudu ondu akshatya patre… Illi mogedasthu suddigalu jasthi aguthhe !

      Nimage bakadre topicsge help mathine, Suddi neevu koodisi… I could have help on the details also but i am poor in it.

      Nange gottu nevu beralu thorisidre asthane nogthreantha !!!

      atlast sorry if i am wrong !

1945. Praveen, it is strange – I did mail you… and was waiting for a reply from you…. Strange, maybe I sent it to the wrong address.

      THANK YOU SO MUCH for your opinion, Praveen. Because this is the EXACT thing I was also thinking, and wanted other peoples’ opinion about this.

      I would really appreciate if others also put in their opinions.

1946. Roopadarshi,
      Advance ‘Welcome to India’. yenu gotta, y’day during the commercial break of Muktha, saw trailers that new serials are beginning from Aug.7th. Just thought Muktha may end this friday(4th). Anyway, you are not missing anything much since last month.

1948. Yesterday i was talking to one of my friends.
      After the ‘ubhaya-kushal-opari-samprata’ she said…”Bangaloreans ka koi bharosa nahi; kabhibhi kuch bhi kar sakte hai”!!
      She is a north Indian, but stays in Bangalore from 5 years or so.
      I said…”How dare you talk spilt about Bangaloreans. Don’t forget u r also a Bangalorean now.”
      For which she replied, “Bangalorean ban ne ke liye Kannadiga hona padta hai, which I’m not”!!!!

      Then I realised…How generous I’ve been over allowing her to be called a Bangalorean..which she never deserved…

      Shruti, I wanted someone to highlight our generosity and I think Metblogging Bangalore is one good place for that.

1949. Dear all,
      The independence day is less than a fortnight away. In a few days, you will see small boys and girls selling plastic flags at every traffic signal. The flag produced in plastic is an anti-thesis of the values that it stands for.
      Read more here:
      http://bellurramki18.wordpress.com/2006/08/02/ban-on-plastic-flags/

1950. WOW!! eshTond post gaLu ivattu, Ododralle estond time aaytu but tumba khushi aaytu.
      Yes, I do know about GTR & Mylaari. Mylaari originally Nazarbad area nalli irodu, but swalpa varshada hinde kuvempunagar nalli kooDa open aagide. naavella K.Nagar aMgaDige hogodu. GTR kaDe ashTaagi hogilla. Mysore alli (mysore janarige) hotel gella hogbeku andre astond craze illa adrallu ondu area inda innod area ge hogodu tumba rare. May be I am wrong, food freaks don’t mind ansatte.

      Looks like the Mukta discussion somehow keep touching the ooTa, tiMdi, sweetu etc., etc., every now & then. aadre bari E-tiMdigaLE aagoytu, nijavaada tiMDi tinnodu yaavaga ?

      Bellur, Shruthi thanks for your kind words. sumne enO manasige bandaddu barede, that was all my first thought. swalpa grammer/spelling ella ashTond sariyilla adakke(Edit maaDlilla before submitting). One more reason was ‘GaNita pass maaDilla error’ 🙂

      Yesterday’s episode was quite good. Aru-nd(ATHI) was too much but not all is bogus. Nijavaaglu that specific event makes all(or most of) girls cry(Atleast me). Adeno aa time alli namage gottillade aLu baMd biDatte. Though we keep visitng our tavarmane every now & then after that, adeno onthara aa samaaraMbha official beeLkoDuge so adakke full sentimental annisutte. But paapa that ‘Aliya(this case MM)’ will be so puzzled that he will not know how to respond in such case. The whole scene appear as if he is the villan who is snatching away their daughter!!

      For all that , ee naDuve Mukta episodes swalpa Glicerine promote maaDo tara aagive. But all sampradaaya’s are shown with interest. Aadre, aruna karkoND hoglikke MM bitre avara maneyavaru yaaru irlilla. Not sure on this paddati, but nammali gaMDana maneyavaru irataare to accompany your beeLkoDuge.
      Bellur, I read your nostagia article, I have a reply pending from my side. It was too late yesterday night when I read it & didn’t want to comment for the sake of it. so will post my comment in your blog sometime soon..

      I have an idea… why not invite shiv prakash for CTR program… we will treat him dosa’s and asthi bariskondbidona .. badlige.
      Hange avru asthi kotmele , nam movie casettes avra kaili bidugade madisbidona chief guest maadi alwa.. Bellur avra Dosa treatnalli idhu ondh kelsa aghoguthe 😉

      Neev nam agent ri, suggest maadi strategy

1971. Usha,
      “Cyanide” is not in Sampige now. Must be Tribhuvan and other PVR-Gee Vee Aars. So adara bagge gottilla. Anyway, Sanjay will reply by tonight. But meeting guarantee.

1972. USHA,
      bhala HUSHARRI neevu. aasthi bareskondu kotyadhipathi aagthiroru neevu, nammantha badavrathra treataa? aagli bidi, kodsonante. adheno heltharalla, savakar mane nota chanda, badavra mane oota chanda!

      Nam bayi Kattisbuttralla neevu.. Shane tookadh math helideera.. Dita dita..

      Hogli… cinema eynu beda, Meeting/eating agli modlu, amele yochne madova..

1974. Strategy I to get asthi :
      AruAthi manevru madange first Priyadarshani na buttige hakkobeku. Nam intelligence reports heLo prakara(CSP detective agency) Priyadarshani ge Masale dose andre tumbaaaa ishta. So, we’re inviting Priya, not Shivprakash. So, after having CTR dose, she invites all of us home, then we refuse to go there. She is upset and cries. Calls her father there immediately.
      He comes and tried to bribe us all by saying “nanu nanna asthina nimgella solsolpa baritini.. Yaru treat kodsidro avrige solpa jastine baritini… avaga enu neevella namma manege bartiro illwo? Illa andre nanu ee dose tinnalla..”
      For rest of the story Aug 6th Malleshwaram grounds ge banni 😀

1978. Someone wants to know who is the first Indian blogger –http://inblogs.net/zigzackly/2006/08/who-was-on-first.html — Sanjay, are you listening? You might qualify, you know! Btw, how many posts do you have?

1979. Haagadare Bhanuvaara namma bheTina? Good good! Innu confirm maaDtha illa naanu – eegale heLuvudu kashTa.

1981. Angur,
      You are welcome. Please confirm by tommorrow if you are coming.

      Shruthi,
      First blogger might be Blogopithecus erectus.
      Also, I read somewhere that Chitraguptha(Yama’s Assistant) has a blog: yellara_papa_punya at blogspot dot com

1982. by the way, did anyone notice that arundathi did not kick the akki-seru before entering atte-mane? or did i miss it? or was it shown day-before y’day alongwith gayatri entering her atte mane?

1983. usha
      info about spicmacay has been put. plz check out.

1984. Usha – message sent 🙂
      Sunday program also looks ok right now, but CTR ge 2 30 ge hogo haagidre, oota skip maadabeku allva? 😀

1985. Bellur, I also noticed that! AshTu sampradaayasthakaru, ashtu detail thorisuvavaru – idu miss maaDbiTTralla!

1986. Professor,
      CTR opens at 4. Have (light)lunch and come at 2.30….lets chat till 4 and ATTACK CTR!

1987. Ivathu yaru update madilla?

      🙂 Yenu interesting irlilla, anyways for benefit of others who missed the episode yest, dont worry u didnt miss much

      scene 1
      MP meets up with Chalam to discuss about home minstry affairs and decisions, he hands over a file of transfers for study and also informs about opposition the ruling party may face for agenda of their govt. he indicates a favour from her to meet Rane’s Wife , she reluctantly agrees.

      Scene 2
      MM brings A(athi) home, in absentia of akki+seru she s welcomed faces teasings MP and Maithreyi and IAM blesses her also assures happy moments and all take blessings in front of photo of AM and God.

      Scene 3
      MP meets Rane’s wife who is adarsha naari, talking about good of her husband(even though he is the best villain for others). She seeks favour from MP to withdraw case onRane and also informs her of fate and situation of her 2 sons who are facing the results of their fatchers deeds… MP looks lost.

1988. Watching Rane’s wife in yesterday’s episode reminded me of Mandodari(raavana’s wife). Imagine Mandodari coming to Seethe and asking to forgive her husband. I don’t think this happened in the Raamayana.
      But remember, Mandodari is one of the 5 pativratha stri. others being Ahalya, Seetha, Draupadhi and Tara(Vaali’s wife).

1989. Funny….the updates used to be so lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg and now they are so short 😛
      Interest levels dropping 😛
      Haha
      Keep smiling 😛
      Ammu

1990. yes ammu

      Funny na …I thought of the same thing while posting… i tried to be detalied.. i didnt get any words to express the drag..uuuuuuuuu in the episode

1991. Thanks ree, Usha…

      Iga thaane naanu Update maadona antha bande….ninne naanu rajaa haakidde….so I missed all the comments on this page.
      Yeah…the Akkiseru was conspicuous by its absense…

      Another thing that was too much to fathom was Mrs Rane….BP Sugar jaasthi irodrinda Rane kolegaduka annodu marthu bidbeka? And her other dialog, Namm yejmaanrige gaalu shikshe aadre AM vaapas barthaara? Wasnt that a little over the top? Avra husband tappu maadidru nuu avranna bitbidbeku annodu teera atishaya annisthu.

1992. Welcome Vani

      I thought u might be busy and gave a brief update, if you have your detailed one ready, pls post it…

      Sadanand patel yellu kanisle illa alwa.. he was not there for the wedding too, nor hemagiri matha swamiji is seen, dampathigalu ashirwada thogolokke hogle illa allige. Idna nodi helirbeku… Sankata bandaga venkatramana antha.. kastha bandre yellroo odhogtha idru avra hatrakke.

      Comic project blognalli downloads available idhe eega mathe, yarigadroo bekadre nodi

1993. In yesrterday’s episode, Mrs Rane told one more thing: “nammejamaanru nambidavarige yaavattoo kai bittilla”. Does that mean, he has become politician just to serve his followers (nambidavaru!!)?
      In fact, she should have thought this before hand and would have rather advised all this things to her husband, while he was doing all these things. Had MP & SKD would have been found guilty instead, what would have she to them, in such case!!!
      So this part of the yesterday’s episode was kind of thought provoking!.

1994. No Usha,

      I dint type the update this morning. In fact yenappa bareyodu antha tale kediskothaa idde.

      before the wedding, Pandari Bai was talking to MP about dampatis being there for MM’s dhaare…aa portion irle illa maduve nalli…And I guess it would have been too awkward for SP to attend the wedding. Ee yamma modle ALuburki…

2018. Muktha Update

      03.08.2006

      1.Cabinet Meeting. Various issues are discussed. SKD starts off with the Seat Sharing issue in Private Professional Colleges. Govt takes a unanimous decision to take over all the management seats in the private colleges and subsidize the fees for needy deserving students. Initially Shanta Veera Swamy is not convinced, but after listening to CM’s explanation that out of the 57,000 Crores allotted for the state budget, a meager 114 Crores diverted towards subsidized fees for needy meritorious students will not affect the budget much, he agrees. The next person to speak is the agriculture minister. He speaks about farmers committing suicide in Ambavar district where there has been surplus produce of tomatoes, and farmers are throwing tomatoes on the roads, for lack of demand. CM suggests that Govt should purchase tomatoes at a reserve price set by Govt and keep all the tomatoes in cold storage. he also moots setting up of cold storage units in each Taluk. Another minister speaks up and says that they should do something about the imbalance prevailing between cost of raw material and cost of finished product. He elaborates on the imbalance in the price of 1 kg tomatoes vs. 1 kg ketchup / sauce, and suggests that farmers must be motivated to produce these sort of finished products like sauces /juices etc to earn better returns. The next person to speak is the City Development Minister (CDM). She says that she has been receiving threatening calls from the past couple of days. SKD looks concerned and asks what’s the reason she says it’s because I have been going for inspection in the city to check about illegal constructions and allotments and all the local mafia has been threatening me. SKD asks her to take help of MP in tackling this menace. MP asks the CDM to take help of strict police officers and District Commissioners to tackle this menace. She asks the CDM who the local DC is. CDM bends her head and says it’s Prabhanjan Mishra. MP immediately starts off a tirade against PM and is warned by SKD not to get too emotional and bring her personal view on to the forefront. MP apologizes but maintains that PM is behind the threat calls, as she has reports that he’s meeting Rane and Ramana Rao everyday. SKD asks her to discuss that later personally. They break for lunch.

      2.Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. No one other than newly weds Nanjunda and Gayathri are around. They are having an anthakshari session. Thaatha and Ajji walk in. They enquire about everyone; Gayathri tells them that Amma is standing near the well, thinking of Aru. Ajji goes to her and consoles her. They both walk back inside and discuss Gowri’s future. Ajji mentions that Gowri probably still feels for Swamiji. Telephone rings and it is Aru on the line. Amma and Ajji speak to her and inform her that Priya and Purushottam will come to invite her for some Homa etc, and that she should come and stay for couple of days with them. Nanjunda teases Amma about Aru’s call.

      3.Cabinet meeting. SKD asks all officials other than the Home Secretary Challam to leave as they have sensitive issues to discuss. MP tells that she has some issue first to be sorted out, that is the issue of mass transfers in various departments. SKD instructs that all transfers should be stayed with immediate effect. Challam tells the ministers that he has two points on the agenda. First is that the current State Public Prosecutor Thyagarajan has resigned, because of his very close relationship with the previous government. There were lot of objections for his continuation, and so Dy CM told him to resign, and that post is vacant. SKD suggests CSP’s name. Initially everyone feels he’s a Tharle Lawyer, but considering that he was successful in getting SKD and MP free, everyone agrees.The next issue is Rane’s conviction. SKD informs that Hardev Patil, the Ex-CM had come to his place and asked for Rane’s acquittal. MP also informs that Rane’s wife had come and that they can pardon him. No one aggress for this, as they feel that they are not giving a good message to society by letting him go free, and they list out all the previous wrongdoings committed by Rane and vehemently oppose letting him go scot free. Ultimately CM gives instructions to initiate proceedings against Rane.

2019. Seriously, how could MP and SKD even *think* about setting Rane free? Too much of idealism? or what do I call it! :O
      And I thought MP would have that much professionalism than launching a personal tirade against Prabhanjan Mishra!

      Great update, Vani!

2020. Bellur,

      On behalf of all the girls, thank you. Howdu , ninne when I went to purchase lotus flowers, the vendor said Rs. 40 for a pair! Kedage hoova anthu Rs 60 ! Field Day for Flower vendors yesterday. Ashtu maadi, buyers yenu kadime irlilla.
      Rate yeridashtu jana togoltha idru.

2021. Next habba inda ondu business maDabahudu. Buy flowers one week earlier, store in in the freezer, and then sell it around festival time for profit 😉

2022. Chhe.. hoonavara hoTTe mele hoDeda haage aagatthe.. beDa… instead of that, naavene one week munche hoo konDkonDu store maaDiTTkobahudu 😀

2023. One lady was smiling 😀 full fledged when every one put their hands up saying the case should be handled by CBI. She was the only one smiling (khusshyagi). Nodadraa?

      And Arundathi’s mother thumba over-acting maadadru ninne phone-alli maathadtha.

2024. Yes, Bellur, I saw that 🙂 🙂

      As for Aru’s mom – I think her acting when speaking over the phone was quite good. Of course, ashTu aLu barodu over annisthu… aadre, adonthara, thaDkonDu thaDkonDu aLu – aLu nalli mathaDiddu – tumba realistic aagitthu annisthappa nanganthu..

2025. That lady was the Nagara abhivruddhi sachivaru…. yenu kaaTa kaadiDro avrige Rane Mahashayaru ?

      Basically Ee Mallikarjun Swamy family avru yellarigintha swalpa jassthi ne emotional aagi varthisthaare…too much of kitthaata between Ajji & thaatha, Amma ready to cry at the drop of a hat, Aru rebelling at the slightest provocation, Gowri gintha integrity yaarigoo illa diruva tharaa, Srikanthu and Sharavathi ashtu duDDige yaaru aase padode illa annothara…

2026. Vani,
      Thumba dinadinda tilkobeku anthaidde , E Kedage hoova & Mandara pushpa andre yavdre ?

2027. ok, to a certain extent, oppkolona. but she could have started saying: yenu aru, hengidhyaa…. NOT yenu magale… that sounded too artificial.
      eega last-lastalli hengagogide andre, arundathi and gayatri ibbra melu kannide audiencege. ivalig thorisiddu-maadisiddu, avaligu aagbeku. illa andre, bias aagbiddatte. akki-seru obbrige thorsodu, obbrige bidodu…..bonda-phonu obbrige thorsodu, obbrige bidodu…..OK, life is not the same for all, but still, gayatri is also a newly wed, they could have given the phone to her also to speak to aru….or maybe they should show gayatri calling her amma’s house. Can’t help it, compare maadona annisutte…. just like how we compare the prices in Raghavendra Stores and Food World!

2028. Praveen,
      Till Vani answers your question, take this for an answer:
      Kedaragowla haad-daaga aralo hoo, Kedage.
      Mandaari haad-daaga aralo hoo, Mandaara. 😉

2029. Shruti thanks aa oldest blog site linkige, naanu ond haakidini aadre idikkinta haLedu bekaadashtu jana iddaare 🙂 Nanagu overacting ansthu.

      Meeting on Sunday finalised, please click on this link for details:
      This Link

      ——–

      Wrt 2000+ comments, thanks all for the wishes – it of course goes to all of us! Its real nice to see the activity here – really nothing much Ive done – Don’t know whether its because of TNS who’s made a good serial (apart from the dragging part 😈 ) or the daily updates or the responses… cannot really pinpoint an exact reason but I guess it dosen’t matter – basically its really great to see the spirit in all of us! 😀

2030. Hi Praveen,

      Nange Kedage hoovaddu English name gottilla….aadre adu Cactus thara itatthe…it’s a complex flower with long petals full of thorns, the flower vendor takes out quite a few layers of the kedage to reveal the small inner core which actually gives the flower the smell… the scent is quite strong.

      Mathe mandaara andre Hibiscus or shoe flower, it has many colors, prominent ones being red and white, we have a cream variety also at home.

2031. Abba…estondu comments ivathu!!

      Vani, that was a very good update..
      ooops it was more like a news paper clipping..cabinet descussions ella… But it was thrilling to watch it yestrday.. like live coming on National network 😉

      There may be people who cry over phone… and we might not be able to bare it if both aru and gayatri repeat the same things on the TV.. adikke phone obrige, akki seru obrige. Once is enough; Jana change keLtare.

      And.. Bellur nanu nim blog visit madtidini, ella posts odidini.. but comment maDo hotge enadru kelsa irta ittu..
      Shruti, totalkannada inna ivathu start madtidare allwa?

      You may worship Lord Shiva with any flower, but using Kedage (or Screw Pine) is considered auspicious for poojas during Shivarathri.

      Legend has it that Kedage or Kethaki lied when there was an argument between Lord Vishnu and Brahma about the Adi and Anthya of Lord Shiva. Shiva then cursed this flower to be banished from poojas dedicated to him. Kethaki prayed before him to revoke the curse, which assuaged Shiva’s anger and the lord permitted the flower to be used for poojas to him only during Shivarathri.

      Belonging to the Pandanacea family, Kedage, Kethaki or Screw Pine is termed biologically as Pandanus Odoratissimus. The term ‘Odoratissimus’ is given due to its rich and alluring fragrance, a reason why the flower is famous among women in the villages. Leaves of this plant are also used as insecticide.

2034. Bellur,

      As far as I know, Mythology prakaara what Bhima went in search of was Sougandhikaa Pushpa for Draupadi…it is the flower that never withers (acc to the story)

2035. Vani,
      You are correct.

2036. The error is regretted.

2037. Srik, Totalkannada start agodu Aug 2nd antha itthu… anyway ivatthu raathri walking hodaga noDbiTTu barthini.

      Ok naanu innu manege horaTe… (early)… bye… and hope to see you all on Sunday! (Nange akasmataagi bere kelasa bandbittre, barolla…. in that case.. you all have a lovely time! :))

2038. Vani, please read this.(specially the highlighted part):

      The Mahabharata, Book 9: Shalya Parva: Section 11:

      Sanjaya said, “When the troops, slaughtered by one another, were thus agitated, when many of the warriors fled away and the elephants began to utter loud cries, when the foot-soldiers in that dreadful battle began to shout and wail aloud, when the steeds, O king, ran in diverse directions, when the carnage became awful, when a terrible destruction set in of all embodied creatures, when weapons of various kinds fell or clashed with one another, when cars and elephants began to be mangled together, when heroes felt great delight and cowards felt their fears enhanced, when combatants encountered one another from desire of slaughter, on that awful occasion of the destruction of life, during the progress of that dreadful sport, that is, of that awful battle that enhanced the population of Yama’s kingdom, the Pandavas slaughtered thy troops with keen shafts, and, after the same manner, thy troops slew those of the Pandavas.

      During that battle inspiring the timid with terror, indeed, during the progress of the battle as it was fought on that morning about the hour of sunrise, the Pandava heroes of good aim, protected by the high-souled Yudhishthira, fought with thy forces, making death itself their goal. The Kuru army, O thou of the race of Kuru, encountering the proud Pandavas endued with great strength, skilled in smiting, and possessed of sureness of aim, became weakened and agitated like a herd of she-deer frightened at a forest conflagration.

      Beholding that army weakened and helpless like a cow sunk in mire, Shalya, desirous of rescuing it, proceeded against the Pandava army. Filled with rage, the ruler of the Madras, taking up an excellent bow, rushed for battle against the Pandava foes. The Pandavas also, O monarch, in that encounter, inspired with desire of victory, proceeded against the ruler of the Madras and pierced him with keen shafts. Then the ruler of the Madras, possessed of great strength, afflicted that host with showers of keen arrows in the very sight of king Yudhishthira the just.

      At that time diverse portents appeared to the view. The Earth herself, with her mountains, trembled, making a loud noise. Meteors, with keen points bright as those of lances equipped with handles, piercing the air, fell upon the Earth from the firmament. Deer and buffaloes and birds, O monarch, in large numbers, placed thy army to their right, O king. The planets Venus and Mars, in conjunction with Mercury, appeared at the rear of the Pandavas and to the front of all the (Kaurava) lords of Earth. Blazing flames seemed to issue from the points of weapons, dazzling the eyes (of the warriors). Crows and owls in large numbers perched upon the heads of the combatants and on the tops of their standards. Then a fierce battle took place between the Kaurava and the Pandava combatants, assembled together in large bodies. Then, O king, the Kauravas, mustering all their divisions, rushed against the Pandava army. Of soul incapable of being depressed, Shalya then poured dense showers of arrows on Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti like the thousand-eyed Indra pouring rain in torrents. Possessed of great strength, he pierced Bhimasena, and the five sons of Draupadi and Dhristadyumna, the two sons of Madri by Pandu, and the grandson of Sini, and Shikhandi also, each with ten arrows equipped with wings of gold and whetted on stone. Indeed, he began to pour his arrows like Maghavat (Indra) pouring rain at the close of the summer season. Then the Prabhadrakas, O king, and the Somakas, were seen felled or falling by thousands, in consequence of Shalya’s arrows. Multitudinous as swarms of bees or flights of locusts, the shafts of Shalya were seen to fall like thunderbolts from the clouds. Elephants and steeds and foot-soldiers and car-warriors, afflicted with Shalya’s arrows, fell down or wandered or uttered loud wails. Infuriate with rage and prowess, the ruler of the Madras shrouded his foes in that battle like Destroyer at the end of the Yuga. The mighty ruler of the Madras began to roar aloud like the clouds. The Pandava army, thus slaughtered by Shalya, ran towards Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti (for protection). Possessed of great lightness of hand, Shalya, having in that battle crushed them with whetted arrows, began to afflict Yudhishthira with a dense shower of shafts. Beholding Shalya impetuously rushing towards him with horsemen and foot-soldiers, king Yudhishthira, filled with wrath, checked him with keen shafts, even as an infuriate elephant is checked with iron-hooks. Then Shalya sped a terrible arrow at Yudhishthira that resembled a snake of virulent poison. Piercing through the high-souled son of Kunti, that arrow quickly fell down upon the Earth. Then Vrikodara, filled with wrath, pierced Shalya with seven arrows, and Sahadeva pierced him with five, and Nakula with ten. The (five) sons of Draupadi poured upon that foe-slaying hero, the impetuous Artayani (Shalya), showers of arrows like a mass of clouds pouring rain upon a mountain. Beholding Shalya struck by the Parthas on every side, both Kritavarma and Kripa rushed in wrath towards that spot. Uluka also of mighty energy, and Shakuni the son of Subala, and the mighty car-warrior Ashvatthama with smiles on his lips, and all thy sons protected Shalya by every means in that battle. Piercing Bhimasena with three arrows, Kritavarma, shooting a dense shower of shafts, checked that warrior who then seemed to be the embodiment of wrath. Excited with rage, Kripa struck Dhrishtadyumna with many arrows. Shakuni proceeded against the sons of Draupadi, and Ashvatthama against the twins. That foremost of warriors, Duryodhana, possessed of fierce energy, proceeded, in that battle, against Keshava and Arjuna, and endued with might, he struck them both with many arrows. Thus hundreds of combats, O monarch, that were fierce and beautiful, took place between thy men and the enemy, on diverse parts of the field. The chief of the Bhojas then slew the brown steeds of Bhimasena’s car in that encounter. The steedless son of Pandu, alighting from his car, began to fight with his mace, like the Destroyer himself with his uplifted bludgeon. The ruler of the Madras then slew the steeds of Sahadeva before his eyes. Then Sahadeva slew Shalya’s son with his sword. The preceptor Gautama (Kripa) once more fearlessly fought with Dhrishtadyumna, both exerting themselves with great care. The preceptor’s son Ashvatthama, without much wrath and as if smiling in that battle, pierced each of the five heroic sons of Draupadi with ten arrows. Once more the steeds of Bhimasena were slain in that battle. The steedless son of Pandu, quickly alighting from his car, took up his mace like the Destroyer taking his bludgeon. Excited with wrath, that mighty hero crushed the steeds and the car of Kritavarma. Jumping down from his vehicle, Kritavarma then fled away. Shalya also, excited with rage, O king, slaughtered many Somakas and Pandavas, and once more afflicted Yudhishthira with many keen shafts. Then the valiant Bhima, biting his nether lip, and infuriate with rage, took up his mace in that battle, and aimed it at Shalya for the latter’s destruction. Resembling the very bludgeon of Yama, impending (upon the head of the foe) like kala-ratri (Death Night), exceedingly destructive of the lives of elephants and steeds and human beings, twined round with cloth of gold, looking like a blazing meteor, equipped with a sling, fierce as a she-snake, hard as thunder, and made wholly of iron, smeared with sandal-paste and other unguents like a desirable lady, smutted with marrow and fat and blood, resembling the very tongue of Yama, producing shrill sounds in consequence of the bells attached to it, like unto the thunder of Indra, resembling in shape a snake of virulent poison just freed from its slough, drenched with the juicy secretions of elephants, inspiring hostile troops with terror and friendly troops with joy, celebrated in the world of men, and capable of riving mountain summits, that mace, with which the mighty son of Kunti had in Kailasa challenged the enraged Lord of Alaka, the friend of Maheshvara, that weapon with which Bhima, though resisted by many, had in wrath slain a large number of proud Guhyakas endued with powers of illusion on the breasts of Gandhamadana for the sake of procuring Mandara flowers for doing what was agreeable to Draupadi, uplifting that mace which was rich with diamonds and jewels and gems and possessed of eight sides and celebrated as Indra’s thunder, the mighty-armed son of Pandu now rushed against Shalya. With that mace of awful sound, Bhima, skilled in battle, crushed the four steeds of Shalya that were possessed of great fleetness. Then the heroic Shalya, excited with wrath in that battle, hurled a lance at the broad chest of Bhima and uttered a loud shout. That lance, piercing through the armour of Pandu’s son, presented into his body. Vrikodara, however, fearlessly plucking out the weapon, pierced therewith the driver of Shalya in the chest. His vitals pierced, the driver, vomiting blood, fell down with agitated heart. At this, the ruler of the Madras came down from his car and cheerlessly gazed at Bhima. Beholding his own feat thus counteracted, Shalya became filled with wonder. Of tranquil soul, the ruler of the Madras took up his mace and began to cast his glances upon his foe. Beholding that terrible feat of his in battle, the Parthas, with cheerful hearts, worshipped Bhima who was incapable of being tired with exertion.'”

2039. Vani\Bellur,
      Thanks a lot for info & clarifications…

      Iga nenapige banthu People always use to tell that Snakes likes Kedage & if you keep in house it will attract the Snakes… Not sure how to this is. Infact i had purchased it few months back n bough home but i failed to see snakes @ home… i had forgot the name…

      Mandara: Ohh idu namm Chikkodi Chinnaswamy kiviliro hova 🙂

2040. Shruthi

      Total kannada has good collection Kakana Kote, Ondanondu Kaaldalli, Accident, Minchina Ota yella tharisidhe last month itself, allindha, they seem to hav good collection.
      Bellur for wishes for the festival, wish you all the same. I will meet you people on Sunday.

      Shruthi will coordinate tomm for the play.

      -Usha

2041. Well Bellur,

      You may be right. Can’t say.Ondondu kade ondondu tharaa ide. Best is to see C V Rajagopalachari’s Mahabharatha. I remember reading in High School that it was Sougandhikaa Pushpa.

      Anyways, too trivial a topic to waste our breath on.

2042. Hey Bellur,

      Did you observe the botanical name of Kedage?

      Pandanus Odor”ati”ssimus — Odor tumba “ati” yaagide antha suchisthiddare namma botanists ! 😉

2043. Vani,
      Odor ati….good one! Well….sometimes ee trivial matters thumba thale thinnatte…..now till i go home and read the particular story in Rajaji’s Mahabharatha, I cant be peaceful….

2044. Vani,
      Rajaji’s version (Chapter 37) says it is Saugandhika Pushpa. But according to another link, it is Mandara.

      Excerpts from the Chapter 37:
      Hanuman pointed out to Bhima the stream nearby, where grew the Saugandhika flowers he had come to seek.

      This put Bhima at once in mind of Draupadi who was waiting for his return, and he collected the flowers and returned to her without delay.

      You can find the full chapter here as a comment:
      http://msanjay.weblogs.us/entries/54/a-short-story-from-the-mahabharata

2045. Bellur,

      I too vaguely remembered Rajaji’s version, coupled with something I read in 7th Standard kannada text book, to come to a conclusion that it was Saugandhikaa. Anyways, different books will have different versions of the epic.

      Rajaji’s narrative is awesome…I must have read the whole text atleast 3 times, but yet again, now that I’ve read this chapter, I’ll go back and read the entire text another time.

2046. Hello people,

      Nothing of significance took place in last night’s episode.
      Here’s a short gist.

      Muktha Update

      04.08.06

      Rane calls up SKD late at night from jail. He is drinking and in the mood for introspection.
      In the beginning, he congratulates SKD on his victory and frankly admits that he wanted to wish him earlier, but was really not in the mood for it. He admits that SKD is better suited to be the CM rather than himself. He tries to justify all his misdeeds and tries to project that he’s justified in the way he has behaves, or that his actions, wrong though they may be, are apt for the circumstances. He says no one is supporting me now; even the people I trusted most are not with me.

      He says in these days, to win an election, people need to spend lot of money, and he took Chhabria’s help to win election. He insists that that is the unwritten rule of the land.Further, he says he did have an ambition to become the CM, and feels there was nothing wrong with that. He challenges SKD and asks him if he never had ambitions to become the CM. He quotes history and says there is no one chapter in history where ambition is not the basis for murder, when kings have done it, why not Rane?

      He tries to make SKD feel guilty of sitting on the CM’s chair; He makes it sound like SKD has reaped the benefit of AM’s death. He says that if you were to speak to 1000 people, 999 would be like Rane and only 1 would turn out to be like SKD. He says that SKD winning is a fluke chance. He feels that SKD has committed injustice to him by ordering an inquiry by the CBI. He says SKD did not listen to Hardev Patil, and MP also did not listen to his wife when she went to plead for his sake. He says neither you of MP have any humanity left in you, both of you are stonehearted. SKD clarifies that the entire council of ministers wanted Rane to be convicted, but it was only SKD and MP, whom Rane called Stone hearted, were the ones who disagreed, since these two were overpowered, they couldn’t help but issue directives for a CBI Inquiry.

      Rane further reiterates that the state will definitely prosper under SKD. He tells him that he is ill with hypertension and high blood sugar, but has refused medicines because he doesn’t want to face the CBI inquiry, doesn’t want the media to write reams about him, doesn’t want to face the humiliation. He says that his sons are disillusioned, he wanted to be a respected person at least to his sons, but the Govt has not allowed him to. He says my end is near, I just wanted to clarify these things with you, and so I spoke to you. He breaks down, he has tears in his eyes, and requests SKD to help his family if and when they approach him for any favors. He then does a namaskaara to SKD from the cell itself with tears streaming down his face.

2047. Brilliant piece of acting by Rane in last night’s episode. Really poignant.

2048. Rane was really good in last night’s episode. His acting was superb and showed that he can handle any type of acting. I used to discuss this with my father, at least the way he dresses and up to some extent, he looks similar to Chandrashekhar, Hanumanthanagar Corporator and Basavanagudi MLA, who was also the mayor 2 years back.

2049. HatsUp Rane…. I liked the acting(reality) of Rane Y’day.

      I guess we wont see his face anymore in Muktha as i feel he may die(in muktha) before Muktha ends.

      I wish he should get much roles in other serials too…

      Nimma Abimani

2050. Friends i always wondered that whether astrologers can predict whether a person is dead or alive by looking at the “JATAKA”.I thought that this is the best way to distinguish between genuine and fake astrologers.I showed the “Jataka” of a dead man to 2 astrologers near my house and they couldnt tell whether he was still alive or dead.They were just bluffing in their own way saying that this period is good and that is bad and shani shanti and so on.But my father always says that astrology is a science and a good astrologer must be able to predict a living or a dead person.I am a big fan of H.Narasimiah and i also believe its science.Please tell ur views on this.I request sanjay and others to comment frankly with open mind without being neutral.Sorry if i have posted this in the wrong section.
      Regards,
      Pradeep.

2051. Its wonderful to see a forum dedicated to namma Seetharam Avara serials. I was searching for ‘Mukta’s title song and any title song available from TNS’s serials, which i swhat got me to this blogspot.
      Hello to all you fellow-fans…pls. keep these going!

2052. BTW, the link for MUKTA title song is not working!! Any advice please..
      Also, any clues about other TNS’s songs, would be really great!

2053. Hi Pradeep, there is a comprehensive entry here influencing factors? which has a lot of links including a very good one that explains astrology as well – check it out!

      Man I really missed Rane’s acting, atleast could read what that was about in the update – thanks Vani!

      Shalini the link is fine I just checked it now. Try going to http://proxify.com and then accessing the link from there, you might still have a problem with the provider since its on blogspot and some ISPs had blocked it for a while.

2054. It was great meeting you all yday, for a short time, though! 🙂 Will plan it out better next time 😉

      It was good to meet Vani and Veena, and of course, Sanjay’s wife, and Bellur’s wife and adorable kid 😀

      [It was good to meet all of you, but I hadn’t met these ppl before ;)]

      Chaitanya, you were conspicuous by your absence! Yenaythu? 😮

      And last but not the least, the CTR dosas were too good!! 🙂

      Let’s have more such meets!

2055. Shruti,
      after you left, we took a big walk across the sanky tank[ of cource, to help our digestive systems after the delicious dosa ;)]
      We had an opportunity to listen to Bellur and Vani singing too. You missed that part..
      Also we spent some time in the pay and walk park of Sadashivnagar. Also had Musukina jola and churumuri….

      Best part of the show was eight people loaded in sanjay’s car and travelling for about 2 KMs.
      It was too good. We also laughed a lot at Vani’s comments of Aayudha pooje bus. 😀

      And then after dropping Usha at her house, met her husband and also had the privilege of seeing some rare plants and herbs at her little garden like the Bird of paradise and varieties of hibiscus…
      Usha avare, fantastic mane ri nimdu. 🙂

      Chaitanya and Girish were missed in the meet. We also remembered other members like Veerabhadrappa Angur, Kannadathi Mala, Pradeep, Praveen, Anoop, Subramu…etc.

      In all, it was very good meeting all of you. Lets have such time often.

2056. Friends, I wish I could have come Sunday, I feel I really really missed it. Yenmadli, monne ee wisdom-tooth antharalla adna kithaksibitte. So more than the feeling of meeting U all without ‘wisdom’, it was the fact that being in front of CTR ‘Mmmm’ dosa and not able to eat it tied me up 🙂

      Anyway, good you all enjoyed, saw the photos. We will meet up soon again!

      Usha avare, yenri nim mane tumba marketing naditide, barle beku ond sarthi… 🙂

      Chaitanya

2057. Hi All,

      Good to have met Shruthi, Veena, Vijeta, Bellur, Bellur’s Wife & adorable son, Srik, Sanjay, Sanjay’s mom & Usha.
      Had a very nice time with you all. I was observing last night, when Bellur was enthralling all of us, there were several others, who were attracted by the singing, but dint want to be too obvious and so were pretending to be disinterested, but were actually listening with full concentration. I’m very much looking forward to our next meet.

2058. Usha,

      When will you invite me home? After listening to Srik’s description, I badly want to take a tour.

2059. Thx Srikanth

2070. All,

      Nothing more I would like to write about the events, otherwise it will be another repeat of sentences. Bellur anthu ultimate singer, naadamaya haaDu sakkat paLku ella haaki haaDiru. Vani’s poojisalende was a great number as we all know. I have Bellur’s voice recorded in my cell, nanna data cable enO problem koDtide, so will try again sometime later & load that to laptop & try to send it to sanjay. Hopefully, you folks can also hear bellur’s kaMchina kaMTa.

      I was quite amazed to see pictures loaded so quick. I was telling my husband about our meet & the photos really helped to make my conversation complete.

      Each one of you are unique in your way with ‘High Intellect’ being in common. Autograph pustaka toRodu marth hoytu 🙂 tumba annisidre swalpa minus maaDkoL bidi.

      Bellur avare nimma blog nalli ninne bhEti bagge entry haakideera? Yesterday when I was walking with sanjay’s mom, I was telling her that this group is very unique & post very healthy comments (unlike others) antha, so abhimaani devrugaLe swalpa kannaDa bhaasheya ashTaagi sentimental debate maaDbedi.

These are my personal views, so would kindly request not to challenge these words 🙂 yaaradru kannaDa chaLuvaLiyaridre dayaviTTu hoTTege haakoMdu sumnaagi bidi.

2071. dear all,
      had a wonderful evening y’day with you all. more details here:

2073. I too had the same experience as Shruti had. Its a strange feeling..
      When we met yesterday, we tried to relate the faces before us to the words on the page,
      and when we have words here today, tried to see faces in them!!

2074. somehow, i am not able to relate to what shruthi and srik have felt…..coz in the movies, when they show a person’s face in the letter, most of the times it is usually when s/he is running away or when something tragic is about to happen or has already happened. alwa?

2075. Ellarigu namaskara,

      Good that all of you met yesterday. You must have had a nice time. especially benne masale and the long walk. I hope to join you next time when you arrange, I could not attend yesterday as I had my project viva, which got over only by 4:30. Anyways, enjoy madeee.

      It was shocking to read the DH article on Youths. ee hudugrige dudde doddappanaa?
      Regarding the other link to THE HINDU article, no that’s not the one I was telling you. It came in Saturday’s (5th) edition. But this link that you have given is a good one. Remember reading it last month.

2080. What Next ????
      Gents & Ladies.
      As we know MUKTHA is going to end soon what is the way or topic we all can catchup to continue our blog relationship ?

2090. Kadegu nam Rane “BIDARU MOTAR” atuda !!!

2091. Flash News:

      Rane dead!! commits suicide in the Jail. 🙁

      Muktha took a completely interesting U turn with this news.
      Keep commenting 🙂

2092. Well Srik,

      Hadn’t we all expected it? So, one more character eliminated. Guess Gauri’s issue is still pending.

2093. Muktha Update

      07.08.2006

      1.SKD’s residence. SKD and MP are discussing posting of various officers for important departments. SKD tells MP about his phone conversation with Rane and asks MP to issue directives to the Jail Superintendent on preventing consumption of liquor in jail. He also tells her the gist of his conversation with Rane. SKD tells MP that she was too emotional in the previous day’s cabinet meetings and it was wrong on her part to speak about Prabhanjan Mishra the way she did. MP tries to justify herself and says that she had intelligence reports regarding his involvement with Rane and RR. SKD says that whatever it is, she should realize that people around her also are sensitive to such issues. He further says that it’s okay that it was just the council of ministers that were present at the meeting; had it been the media, they would have colored the whole issue differently. MP is silent for a while and then apologizes and assures that it will not repeat again. Just then, SKD’s secretary receives a call from the IG, Prisons. SKD speaks to the IG who informs SKD that Rane has committed suicide. SKD learns that Rane was speaking to the jail superintendent at breakfast, and suddenly grabbed his revolver and shot himself on his forehead. SKD relays this news to MP and warns her that a law and order problem might arise. MP assures him that she’ll take care of the situation.

      2.Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. Thaatha and Gowri are getting ready to go out. They plan to have Benne Dose on the way, but Ajji spoils their plan. As they are having breakfast, Thaatha does some channel surfing, and happens to watch flash news conveying Rane’s death. Nanjunda also walks in and confirms this news, remarking about his phone call to Manmohan. He says that though he’s committed lot of injustice, Rane has worked for his constituency. Thaatha instinctively says “Paapa”. Ajji is not happy and asks him why is he condoling Rane’s death, and that he deserved it because of his injustice towards SKD and MP and AM. Thaatha says whatever it is; we mustn’t disrespect any dead person. After all, his family is going to face an irreparable loss. Let’s pray that his family has the strength to cope up with this tragedy. Ajji remains silent.

      3.Rane’s residence. City Development Minister is among the first to reach the residence and offer condolences to Rane’s family. Slowly all the ministers arrive and offer their condolences. MP and SKD arrive together. SKD tries to speak a few kind words to Rane’s wife, but Muniyappa stops him and says you are the one responsible for Rane committing suicide. All the others present try to stop Muniyappa, but Rane’s wife supports him and says there’s nothing wrong in whatever Muniyappa is saying. After all, I did go to MP and SKD and pleaded with them to withdraw the cases, but they did not listen. Why was only my husband targeted when there are hundreds of criminals going scot-free in spite of committing more heinous crimes? My sons are also not at home now. What did SKD gain from all this. SKD tells her that he has just done his duty, and that he has no personal grouse against Rane. All the other ministers try to prevent Rane’s wife from speaking out, but she remains adamant. She says I am not comfortable with CM present in this time. She asks SKD to leave. SKD agrees, and reiterates once again that he is not responsible for Rane’s suicide and assures that he will provide any assistance at any time she requires. Muniyappa also comes out and apologizes for his bad behavior. All the ministers tell SKD not to take whatever happened very seriously. SKD instructs MP to keep an eye on the law and order situation and remain there till Rane’s body is brought home.

2094. In last night’s episode, watching Rane’s wife venting out her anger, and portraying herself to be a tragic heroine, someone against whom a very grave injustice has been committed, I was wondering, dint she think of all this when Arunachal Murthy was murdered by her husband? Did not our Pandari Bai also face the same situation she herself is in at this point of time?

      Just highlights the selfishenss of people.

2095. Good update, Vani.

      Yes, what was she thinking when Rane was going in the wrong path? Only after he is caught, she is worrying about what her children will think of him. Ha!

      Yeah, Rane’s atmahatye was expected. And as usual, the moment he died, everybody starts remembering his good characteristics! 🙂

2096. Jay,

      Hope you arent being forced to watch Muktha…

      Free country Sir!

      You can always switch over to some other tearjerker nonsense K- serials the other Hindi / Kannada / Telugu channels are offering…

      Hope you did read Bellur’s webapage and TNS interview…

2097. By the way, a Tamil ad comes in the Muktha break – have you noticed? Some time back, we had highlighted the fact that there is a Telugu ad in the break. What do you think of this?

2098. Hey Shruthi,

      My mind is completely on imbibing what’s happening, so I’ve not noticed…which is the one?

2099. I have no idea, Vani.. during the breaks, I get up and wind up the kitchen, etc., so I can only hear the ads, and since its in Tamil, I don’t know what he is singing 🙂

2100. Yes, There is an HUTCH ad on funcards which play Tamil music, I hate the Hucth for such incidents in Past & now also.
      If you own a Hutch connection please drop a line of protest in there feedback. Link is below.
      http://www.hutch.in/contactus/contactus_feedback.asp

2101. Praveen,
      HUTCH-ADs have off late become HUTCCH ADs

      Vani,
      Read the detailed update. Thank you. Y’day, just before Muktha started, my son started saying ‘Babba-babba, bow-wow'(‘nayi nodbeku, take me out’ antha). Ishtu olle update haakthira anno dhairyada mele, nenne nodlilla. yeshto divasa Muktha miss madkond idini.

      Shruthi,
      Neevu comm. break bandaga, aduge manege hogthini andralla, aa timenalle, ‘S’ Sun TV hakalla thane?! 😉

2102. Hey People,

      Missed an important chunk in the update… SKD says Prabhanjan Mishra had been over to meet him to recommend himself for the post of Home Secretary. SKD says he asked PM to discuss with MP. MP immediately says PM is a selfish person. SKD tells MP that as officers, we must be a little different in our attitudes, please think over and consider the issue. MP is silent.

      All this was before first break itself, when they were discussing posting of other officials.

2103. Ha ha!! 🙂 Bellur, “S” court case mugida mele Muktha noDode illa 😉 As for Sun TV, nammanelli prohibited!

      Matthe enri, Bellur, nimma maga lakshaNavagi “Naayi” andanalla, avatthu?? Neeve innu “bow-bow” antha koothkonDiddiralla… 😉

2104. Ninne Yatha prakara MS maneyavru (Sajjanaru) ranege papa antha idru.. Bhargavi ajji obre practical idi gumpnalli ..Nam Nanjundanganthu rane andre soft corner bere.

      Chief ministerge Mrs Rane baythaiddaga, yava sachivaru MP mathe SKD rane avrige support madidha vishaya avrige helale ilwalla, RR and other oppositions leaders will be in vidhanasabhe sessions alwa.. will it not be known to her throught them that SKD and MP wanted to support her? Strange.

2105. thx Vani

      Aa portion nanu miss madidhe ninne… PM and MP na unite madlikka .. TNS ondhe officenalli avribranna posting madisthairodhu… Yavdho cinema story thara idyallla.. Hmmm Saritha and Srinath cinema hesru gothilla, she will be playing DC in that.. he is a clerk.

      😀

2106. Usha, It is ERADU REKHEGALU!

      Shruti,
      haha, i was just joking wrt ‘S’….btw, my son says ‘nayi’ when there are ‘Professors’ and ‘Lecturers’ and ‘bow-wow’ when he finds ‘like minded’ fellows!

      Forgot to tell you all. After our meeting, I can home at around 8pm and [V] channel was On. And which song do I see? IF YOU COME TODAY sung by our ANNAVRU! But in the title card, it said OPERATION DIAMOND ROCKET (it is RACKET).

      After Annavru passed away, this particular song has become widely popular.
      But I was so happy to see DR.RAJ’s song in [V] channel!

2107. Usha,

      Bellur has overtaken me…adrallina famous song is Neela Megha Shyama…

2108. yeah Usha,

      None supported SKD or MP… ashtella ministers tale yella maathadidru, but no one tried to tell Mrs Rane that SKD and MP were the only ones who opposed Rane’s prosecution, they all tried to tell Mrs Rane to behave, but no one bothered to explain the actual situation.

      If I were to direct, I’d have made Pandari Bai come to offer condolences to Mrs Rane…Maybe aaglaadru aa lady ge taanu yenu tappu maadthiddini antha gothagthittu.

2109. One more thing which i observed was Muniappa blasted CM(SKD) in front of Mrs Rane, and appologised and became friendly outside with him… yen maska haktharalla..Yen janappa

      IAM and MM bandidre condolence helakke… sajjanike paramavadhi agbittordhu…

2110. K.Balachander’s “Eradu Rekhegalu” is a very well made movie. Excellent acting by Saritha, Srinath, Geetha, Lokanath, Ashwath, Master Rohit and Master Sanjay. Watched it in Cauvery Theatre when it was released in 1984.

      ‘Neela Megha Shyama’ is a melodious song, penned by RN Jayagopal and Music by Viswanathan S. Singers are P.Susheela and Vani Jairam. The idea of a song summing up the crux of the tale, against the backdrop of Navaraathri festivities was something rare, although our Puttanna had tried this in his ‘Sharapanjara’ on Kalpana (Hadinalku varsha)

      And the situational significance of the song ‘Neela megha shyama’ was such that it found popularity in Hindi when it was remade as ‘Sanjog’- ‘Man mandir mein preeth ka dera nahin koi dooja (Lata & Asha/ R.D.Burman). The original was ‘Nee vannadhi nee vanakunnadhi’ (P Susheela & Jamunarani in “Collector Janaki”).

      ‘Neela megha shyama’ remains a praiseworthy effort and it easily finds a place of pride in the pantheon of all time classics.

      P Susheela singing for the suave, majestic Saritha, and Vani Jayaram singing for the ingenuous, suspicion-filled Geetha, bring to palpitating life the agonizing perspective of each woman. The song abounds with treasured moments…Geetha opening her account with an unasked question….Saritha responding with a pitying laughter, and hinting at a hidden answer…presently, Geetha, controlled and dignified till now, breaking down while singing ‘adhu andhina maduveyamma,’…Geetha hurriedly, almost angrily incorporating ‘Rukminigagi’ into the unfinished line, as though possessively clutching on to her husband…KB’s genius in full flow….

      You can listen to the song here:

2111. “sajjanike paramavadhi agbittirodhu…” 🙂 — yaarige gotthu – ivatthina episode nalli barabahudu, pandaribai and co!

      Hindi: 1972 -Sanjog (Amitabh Bachchan, Mala Sinha & Aruna Irani)

      Meaning: a leisurely walk (usually in some public place)
      Synonyms: amble, promenade, saunter, stroll, perambulation

      The verb ramble has 2 meanings:

      Meaning #1: continue talking or writing in a desultory manner
      Synonyms: ramble on, jog

      Meaning #2: move about aimlessly or without any destination, often in search of food or employment
      Synonyms: wander, swan, stray, tramp, roam, cast, rove, range, drift, vagabond

      Andhage, Naanu UTTARAKRIYE (uttara bareyodu) jasthi madthini annisidre, plz tell me. (Uttarakriye madodu nillisthini.)

2119. Bellur,

      A small correction on “Neela Megha Shyama”

      Vani sang for Saritha and Susheela sang for Geetha…why I remember so well is becos of Susheela’s Nasal twinge to her rendition….it was full of pathos that the director wanted to portray on Geetha.

2120. Nan hatra Neela Megha Shama mp3 format ide, bakidre heli…

2121. Praveen,
      Can you please put it as a link here?

      Vani,
      Thanks for the correction.

      Shruthi,
      Your comment reminded me of a story my father used to tell.

      It seems when he was a primary school student, he had a teacher, who was very poor. (That is the case in most stories). This teacher was very fond of sweets. Since he was poor, he couldn’t afford it. He used to sit in the class and make the children write the names of all the sweets 20 times, with all the students loudly saying what they wrote. The students would say,”Jilebi, Jilebi,…. Jilebi…aaythu saar”. The teacher would shout at them, “Yey, bareero….Mysuru paaku…..bareero ippath sarthi”.

2122. continuing from the prev. post….

2125. Plus, we need more people who can write about Kannada and related things. Bellur, please think about it. I think you need to have a blog to become a metroblogger, but I am not sure. IF that is not the case, many of you would qualify, provided, of course, that you are interested 🙂

      Detailed Update coming up, pls be patient.

      Yella Sukhantha, innu

2138. Muktha Update

      08.08.06

      1.Hemagiri Matha. Swamiji is reading a book when one of his disciples tells him that some important person has arrived in a big car to meet Swamiji. Swamiji chides him and asks him not to judge people’s importance based on materialistic aspects, and asks him to show the visitor in. The person who comes in is Prasad, SKD’s master’s son. Swamiji recollects SKD speaking about Prasad. Prasad informs Swamiji that he’d been in London all this time and now has decided to come back for good. He tells Swamiji that he’s interested in some sort of philanthropic activity and was initially planning to build a charitable hospital in memory of his mother, but his mother appeared in his dream and asked him instead to make some improvement to the existing hospital run by the Matha. Prasad says he wants to set up a dialysis center in the hospital. Swamiji is pleased and praises him for his kind thoughts. He asks Prasad to meet Shiva Prakash on this matter. In the background, we see Gowri entering the hall, but turning back immediately. Swamiji beckons to her and she comes in, to be introduced to Prasad.

      2.MM’s house, Aru is in the kitchen cooking. MM walks in and asks her why she has to work when there are servants. Aru says that they aren’t clean, and moreover she’d like to cook for her husband and he need not poke his nose into this. (I’m not too good at describing romantic scenes…pls use your imagination here) She runs away to the dining hall and begins to set the table. He threatens that he’ll talk to her the next day after Amma and Maithreyi leave for Phalguneshwara. Aru replies that she’s asked them to drop her off at her mom’s place on their way and pick her up on their return. IAM walks in and she complains about MM disturbing her in the kitchen. The doorbell rings and Maithreyi walks in. IAM is concerned that she’s late and also asks her about MP. Maithreyi informs them that MP is upset and so she’s remaining at the LH. She says MP is upset about Rane’s death and his wife’s allegations. MM says I am happy that he passed away. Maithreyi disagrees and says that it’s wrong to think that way about a deceased person. At least though AM is not alive, you and Amma are alive to carryon his memory, but with Rane’s passing away, his whole family is devastated. MM remains silent.

      3.SKD’s residence. Prasad comes to meet him. Prasad tells SKD that he’s shifting to India for good, and that he wants to take part in some charitable activity. He tells him about his plans regarding the dialysis centre. SKD asks him about the pending registration of the land that Prasad has purchased from him. Prasad refuses and says that the land belongs to SKD; He knew that SKD wouldn’t accept any money without such a transaction, so he decided to use this strategy. SKD insists, but Prasad refuses. SKD asks Prasad why he isn’t married yet, Prasad replies that he had been married once, but his wife died 3 months after marriage in an accident, and he hadn’t felt the need to remarry. His father has been insisting, but so far he hadn’t met anyone worth taking such a decision, but he met Gowri in the Matha; Swamiji introduced her to him. After speaking to her, he feels that she’s be the right person to marry him. He asks SKD to recommend him. SKD says he’ll try; he’s having some work near Sudukoppa and he’ll speak to them, but he’s not sure about her family’s opinion about Gowri’s marriage.

2139. Let’s not be too eager to celebrate…Gowri ge innu Swamiji mele manaside, she may not agree….what if Prasad agrees to take sanyaasa to enable Gowri to marry Niranjan Satyadeva. Kaadu nodbeku.

2140. Vani

      My guess is gowri may initially disagree for marriage…. Bhargavi ajji might come out with some practical examples to finally succeed in persuading Gowri to remarry.

      Friends,, What is your opinion

2141. Vani,
      You have a point there.

      Girish
      LONG TIME – NO COMMENT
      Welcome back. I am planning to change my name from BS Ramakrishna to CT Ramakrishna. 😉
      Missed you Girish. Ranganathittu next venue. Khandita banni.
      btw, blog update maadi saar.

2142. Yes, this was a very good twist. Anthu TNS matthe vidhava vivaaha anno concepts kooDa mukta dalli taMdru. Hats of for this. Prasad character onthara theoritical(ammanige dialysis maadslikke kashTa paDtiddOru eega london ge hogi full rich aagi. Matte india ge bandu haLeyavarannu nenpiskondu ellarigu sahaaya dhana (for no reason/benefit) needuva puNyaatma) annsidru onthara naMba beku anno manassu barthade(Atleast me). Gowri ge oLLe vara, though he is little more aged & not very handsome but aa vyakti maataDodu nOdidre sikkapaTTE oLLE manushya ansatte(the way he waits for 1 hour to meet SKD though he is so rich etc.,). Gowri maneyavaru OpkObahudu but Gowri starting nalli inhibitions torisbahudu. but definitely pramod kumar ginta Mallikaarjuna swamy manege oLLe Aliya ivaru.

      Aru & MM’s romantic scene was quite apt. but Mukta dalli inta scene torisidre ontara annisutte, its such a serious serial but I appreciate the decency in the scene. ‘GaMDa heMDati antha ondu cinema bandide, adara haaDu barta ittu TV-li noDi full sustu biDDe, namma kannada cinemage ee gati banta antha ? yaaryaarO director aadre heegene. amele janakka kannada cinema nODi antha ottaaya bere maaDodu. adakk biTTu mysore nalli ee film haaklikke Cyanide movie na tegedraMte. ee problem nu TNS avara dhaaravaahili torsidre esT chenda alva.

      I feel that there are ample opportunities that ‘Raghu Samartha’ & ‘Nandini’ might get into wedding knot soon. nODoNa. They make a nice pair alva ?
      illi MaaLavika avaru maayamruga dhaaravaahiya naMtara MaaLavika avinash aadaddanna neneyabahudu. I am badly waiting for PM to meet MP. Hopefully today.

2143. BTW initially when they showed Prasad SDK mentioned that since they were HARIJANA they didn’t get help from restof the villagers.
      Now how can we expect marriage between Gowri n Prasad ?
      Is Gowri HARIJANA or BHRAMIN ?

2144. Kannadadalli BLOG & BLOGER na yennatare ?

2145. Yen Veena

      Yella Bereyaada jodigalanna unite mado karyadallideera.. olleya kelasa.. maadi maadi..

      I am sure MS manevrigi prasad avra thande chennagi gothirthare ansuthe, SL andre gowri thayige mostly help madidroo madirthare .. haagagi, maneyrelroo decide madthare ansuthe gowri ge remarriage madbeku antha.. gowri olle hudgi alwa, maneyra math kelo hudugi.. oppkothaleno…

      Athva if gowri is the actual rebel charecter of Muktha(I think it is) becoz i remember TNS stating that once. she might disagree and adopt chinmayi and stay alone…

2146. Exactly the same question was bothering me Praveen…I dont know how TNS wants to take this forward…TNS seems to be in some revolutionary mood…first it was naxalites, then Swamiji offering to give up sanyaas for Gowri, now the intercaste marriage issue…Gowri’s people are conservative, but caste difference ge maduve beda antha helakke avra sajjanike adda baratheno….

2147. Good observation Praveen

      Might be an attempt to drive attention to intercaste marriage too.

2148. In that case, Praveen, TNS is promoting inter-caste marriage also, which is again, a very good move.

      YEs, definitely, Gowri will not agree at first, aamele avaru oLLe manassinavaru antha she will agree. After all he is also equally Goody -goody-impossible-in-real-life character, and so is Gowri!

      Girish, tumba dinada nanthara nimmannu illi noDi santhosha aaythu. barthiri madh-madhya!

      Vani, neevu heLida scenario — fantastic!! :))

2149. Yes Vani

      But i would personally like Swamiji giving up sanyas for Gowri and settling down with her, they make a good pair.

      Of course Shivprakash is there to support (With Aasthi) and look after Hemagiri Matha later 😀

2150. Yene aadru Gowri – Prasad jodi chennagilla…. specially after watching Nanjunda – Gayathri and Aru – MM, I felt really silly trying to imagine Gowri as Prasad’s wife.

      Yes, Nandini and Raghu Samartha may marry…ninne avra scene tumba realistic annisthu…and the best part was MM addressing Aru using Banni – Hogi… that sounded really really romantic (at least to me)… reminded me of my uncle and aunt who used to address each other that way.

2151. Praveen,

      Firstly, I don’t think a word has been coined in Kannada for “Blog-Blogger”.

      Second point is that kaala hengagogide andre, we must be happy that a girl is marrying a boy. Harijana, Brahmana, innondu mattondu anno kaala hoythu. Sadhya hudga-hudgi madve aagthidare antha khushi padbeku, yenanthira?

2152. Too much Bellur,

      India nalli aa issue na ashtu open aagi torsakke yaava director kooda dhairya maadilla.

      Usha,

      Earlier, when Niranjan was to marry Gowri, he was shown to be someone loaded….in fact they were to settle in London after their wedding…naduve bekku adda bandu kelsa kedisthu.

2155. Ondh help bekithu

      Anyone who is watching muktha from beginning episode 1, can you give me a write up a very brief story line, how it has gone till now. I started watching it off and on only from Arundathi’s modelling case, later came back to watch chinarika case, when you people talk abt various incidents in between … I m not able to connect them. At your liesure no hurry. I did try to llok for comments of earlier episodes, couldnt find beyond Dec 29 2005

2156. Guys, I don’t think Swamyji will marry gowri. Prasad avare maduve aagodu annisutte. Modle swamyji maduve maaDslikke hoRtaaga bEDa antha decide maaDi eega beku andre jana adanna accept maaDalla. VidyabhushaNa avara maduvena eshTa jana accept maaDidru neeve hELi ? Gowri deciding to stay unmarried is a mere possibility. London ge hogodidre, mostly prasad jothene illa andre TNS ‘Brian Drain’ concept torisokke mostly Prasad London biTTu Gautham kaTTelO athva hEmagirilO settle maaDisbahudu.

      Yes, MM calling Aru banni hogi was unusual. but its ok we are used to seeing them like that.

      Usha, MP maththu PM na meeting ge naanu kaaytha irodu, to watch their conversation. MP seems to loose control on her emotions when it comes to PM so I would like to see how the conversation would end. Will she react in a way to make PM realise that finally he had to come to her or she would forgive him & accept ? Or directly fight with him ? Of course avaribbaru oMdaadre khushi aagatte. ivaradu ontara practical aagi torsilla. Two highly qualified professionals can’t make a family anno tara torisbiTTidaare, so need to correct this. But avara shanti saMdaana hegaagattO gottilla.

      About Prasad marrying Gowri & the intercaste issue, do they really want to take this issue now ? Or they might even not show that at all. harijana savarNeeyara gaLaaTe aagaaga naDeeta iratte, so this might be sensitive.

      Vani, Prasad-Gowri joDi bagge asTondu apprehensions yaake ? I think they make a very good pair if you consider their emotional & intellectual levels. Physical appearance ondu level gasTe importance which I personally feel can be compromised to certian extent if one is getting all other things. tumba vEdaaMta annisidre dayaviTTu ignore maaDi.

      Yesterday I happened to see/hear podcast of TNS. This is in sampada.net. wwww.sampada.net/podcasts. Chennaagide kELi.

      Also check this link for some photos taken when TNS visited California last year.

      Illandre IT bhasheli Data type mismatch antharalla adagbiduthe….
      😀

2159. Your views regarding Physical appearance are definitely true Veena, but I am talking about the Casting here, swalpa nodi select maadbahuditteno… purely my personal opinion…

      And if TNS really wants to make a bold statement, he must get Swamiji and Gowri married, at least to show society that things are changing nowadays…

      1. Serial TNS du, he is the deciding authority on who should marry whom.

      2. Society nalli ethics uLibekandre, this move is more suited, as that person is accepting that he cannot sit on that PeeTha, which is meant to clean society of immorality and other vices. Namma bere yeshto janaa swamigaLu torikege maathra brahmacharya paalane maadthirthaare, adara badlu idu 1000 times better.

      3. It also brings forth the fact that people must not be forced to take up sanyaasa at 8 years of age or 12 years of age when there’s absolutely no knowledge of the world. Sanyaasa must be something voluntary after, say, a person is atleast 20 years old. Again, idu nanna view.

2160. Correct Usha – very well said. I agree with you noorakke nooru amsha.

      Nanna prakaara, intercaste marriages nalli yenu thappilla. But caste difference iddare, sometimes, habits, matthu paddhatigaLa vyatyaasavu iruvudunTu. For example, if one loves non-veg, but the other is a strict vegetarian, ibbarigu kashTa. but at the same time, I have seen such marriages also work beautifully.

      AT the end, all you need is the will to understand your partner, and the urge to accept him/her and the desire to make the marriage work.

2161. Vani, I agree with your views on Sanyasa.

      Christianity nalli ee preacher/rector (not sure exactly) post iratthalla – adakke, it is a precondition that you should be married anthe. The logic is that if you are married, you are stable/your mind doesn’t wander/etc., and you will do the work of God effectively antha.
      I think there is some sense in that.

      Of course, I am not suggesting that our Swamis should all marry, but I feel that there is nothing wrong if they do, and still continue their duties. And, as Veena says, this is purely my personal view.

2162. Absolutely Vani

      Chikka Vayasinalle Brahmagnana padedu Vyragya moorthy galada Yestho jana Jagadgurugalu namma ithihasadalli idare,

      Eegina mathadhipathigalu adakke complete opposite, Powerge politics, Involvement in crime, Money scandals Ivella nodidre vyragya, Sanyasa yella avranna bittu odi bhagavantha paada serirodhu sathya.

      Adara badlu sathyavagi, avara manassige sari ansiddu Adarindha horagbandhu maduvudhe best , and a bold step.

      I totally agree that sanasyathva should be a voluntary decision and never forced.

2163. The only reason why marriage might be prohibited is the worry that they will get embroiled in the petty mundane issues of life – and hence neglect their duties. There is a point that too. But I think the best solution for this whole issue is, as Vani says, make Sanyasatva purely voluntary. Avaga, maThadhipatigaLu, nijavaglu serious matthu dedicated irthare antha nanna nambike.

2164. Hmm.. naanu ondu meeting ge bogi barovarge esTondu comments baMdide. Lots of food for thought.
      About love/intercast marriage, I have a little different view. One point is same as what shruthi said. Cultural difference bandaaga difference automatic aagi baratte. Sub caste change maaDidrene the way shastra/pooje’s are done at home differs a lot. Maneli doDDovru idre it cause pretty much confusions. Unless one handles this kind of issue with patience this may end up affecting the relationship.

      Preeti, prema hrudayavanthike, adjustment ella beku . I feel adara jothege social acceptance, economical comforts are equally important. The level of tolerance & adjustments works very well in the begining but might bring in differences as the time goes on. ond sala Duddu kaasu kaDime aagi elladakke adjust maaDko maaDko andre shuru aagatte noDi differences like “Ayyo yaake ivanna/ivLanna namma appa ammana maatu kELade maduve maaDkoMDe” antha.

      This is just what I have observed. Personally nammadu well arranged marriage above differences sadhyabandilla(God’s grace). Its implicit that all comments are my personal views & I don’t like to generalise anything. ella annisikegaLu avaravara bhaavakke.

      Bellur, namma kuLLa dwarkish avara aaptamitra 365 days na celebrate maaDlikke US-ge baMdidru so allina kannada saMgha eraDu function dates merge maaDittu ashTe. HSV is one of the persons I met there, I admire him a lot. Very simple & modest personality. TNS calls him “mesThre”. All his children are software engg & one among them keep visitng US, Singpore etc, every now & then. He was so simple & humble. avara “Hucchu kODi manasu” is one of the good numbers. Amma naanu devaraaNe is another one which I know.

2165. Well Said Veena,

      After all, preethiyinda hotte thumballa, alva?

      Very practical approach to life….I am in full agreement with your views.

2166. Is it WOMAN’s DAY today?

2167. According to me,
      Every body will have a premotion that whatever he/she does is the best, his food habits are the best in the world, How he responds to a thing is the best way to handle it, his observation of an event is the best one ever…!
      There is no exception to the above statement. It holds good to everyone.
      So, its a proven fact theat a marriage is succesful if the families has the same climate inside the confinities of home, so that both of them think in the same way, almost.

      An inter-caste marriage can also be succesful, if two people having the above premotions in a soft tone, get married.
      i.e. if a person is open to accept some one else’s thoughts(Samskara) as a better one than his/her own thoughts, then that person will live happily with anyone.

      As most of you said, this is my personal opinion.

      Veena,
      one personal question. Aa first photonalli nim pakka TNS idare, avara right pakka irodu Veena(with a child) allwa?
      You know her? She happens to be my cousin.

2168. Upakarma maDkondu bandre estondu messages bandbittide!! Inna yella odilla, astralli nanu mugu turisbeku nimma discussion ge anta ankonDu bardidini…

      Veena/ Vnai Adanne naanu Hondanikegalanna avalokisabweku andidu … all practical things, Education, Money, etc.

      Social acceptance is available default if you are successful…..

2170. Upaakarma, oota yella aaytha? Illi naavu dodda charche maadthaa idvi…none of the men were participating…I thought yelru nidde maadbittidaare antha.

2171. yenu yella girlsu arya samaja shuru mado hagide! by the way, nanna close friend few months back inter-caste maduve maadkonda. and in a few months time, another is happening to a relative of mine.

2172. Nandhu Intercast marriagene 😉 Adakke ondisthu Ambona andiddu

2173. I have one more observation!! Intercaste-marriage iddare, modalindane the family (i am not talking about the couple) expects differences. So differences iddare, ready aagi irthare, differences illade iddare, khushiyaagi irthare.
      But if it is same caste marriage, with swalpa difference – meaning different sub caste/different places (for e.g. one is from bangalore, another from mangalore) — same caste antha problem aagalla antha expect maadthare, aadre problems aagatthe. So expectations are high, and they are very quick to find fault when things do not go as they expect.

      Frankly, nowadays, differences do not matter much to the couple themselves. Problem aagodu, each other’s families jothege hondkobekaaddaga.

      Usha, what do you say about this?

2174. Ri Shruthi,
      I got a mail from Sean Bonner of Metroblogs with a general agreement for writing to it.
      Accept madko anthira ??? Pls suggest.

2175. Nimma mele biTTide Praveen. Aa general agreement odi nimage yenu annistu? Nimage, regular aagi post maadokke time + interest + material iddare, go ahead. It is a good experience, definitely.

2178. Well said, Usha. This has been a very interesting discussion 🙂

      Praveen, you are welcome. Keep me updated 🙂

2179. Usha, I can 100% say you stay in a nuclear family.
      Social acceptance covers all these. I have generally noticed couples who are abanded(spell check pls) dont prefer to attend social gathering to avoid all such things.

      Not always Elders are wrong, sometime there experience helps more than our theories of utsaaha etc., avaru beMki kai suTTko bEDa antha heLtaare naavu young generation navru avargenu gottu naavu fire extingishers ella baLso jana antha hogi kai suTkotaare. Not always but this happens occasinally.

2180. Well presented GIRLS. Ok now, can one of you please stand up and tell the MORAL OF THE STORY, for our inattentive students?

2181. Veena,
      Namma blog na next “Professor” neeve.

      Bellur,
      I’d say no “morals” attached to this story per se, naave mature individuals aagi “Hamsa Ksheera Nyaaya” maadkobeku, and imbibe what suits our psyche.

2182. Moral of the story is until unless acceptance is there, nothing can work 😉

      Mathe Flower show at lalbagh has begun and the pictures looked marvellous in all newspapers… anybody planning to visit?
      This time’s special addition is Bonsai Srinivas avra 120+ collection of bonsai trees , i hope the construction work of the area is complete, it was getting ready when i visited last month.

2183. Hi All…I’d stopped watching Muktha, quite a while back… Right after the court case concluded, to be more precise..But on seeing the lively debates here and the interesting posts, guess I should go back to watching it again… 🙂

2184. Hey Diya, good to see you again!

      Veena, well said – about fire extinguishers 😉

      Yes Usha, a visit to Lalbagh is due! I would love to see the Bonsais too – I have a fascination for them 😉

2185. Shruthi,How about this saturday then, Sunday i m held up becoz my little lalbagh(my garden) is getting ready.

      All are welcome…if any interested to join. Contact shruthi (sorry i assumed saturday will be fine) or me for time and confirmation..

2186. Young generation, fire extinguishers sooper example! Some time back I had written: Young people THINK old people are fools. But old people KNOW young people are fools.

2187. Sorry for belated comments:

      Praveen, I infact I hate Arund (athi)’ss her role in Muktha. She always tends to portray herself as gooooooooooooody who has all good qualities in the world imbibed on to her.

      Bellur, I watched Operation Daimond Racket’s song on Saturday afternoon. I had a fight over this issue with my cousin sister when she commented, “What nonsense, Channel V is playing Rajkumar’s song”. I recorded the song in my digicam.

2188. Usha, its too tempting! But I am not sure about saturday…. Innu next three weekends + 2 weeks, naanu full busy. My sister is leaving for the US to do her MS towards the end of this month – tumba oDaDodu ide. Saturday avaLa jothege shopping plan itthu. Hegadru madhya Lalbagh fit in maDona andkotha idde – but exact time heLodu kashTa aagatthe 🙁

      Yesterday’s serial reinforced my belief that Ajji is the best best actor and character in Muktha 🙂

2189. I have an idea..!
      Since we are nearing the end of Muktha.. why dont we have a poll here on these categories?

      Best character screened in the serial,
      Best on-screen presence,
      Best dialog,
      Best dialog delivary,
      Best sequence or sub story,
      ……………..

      Thatha gets a call from SKD’s office, asking him and his wife to go and meet him at his office the next day.

      Thatha makes Ajji walk 5 kms in the hot sun to reach SKD’s office, and Ajji is very angry. At the office, SKD’s PA welcomes them, and says that he had asked them to come at ELu ghante… and Thatha has thought it was EraDu ghante. Ajji is annoyed 🙂 The PA offers to give them place to rest, and Ajji jumps at the opportunity.

      Later in the day, Ajji and Thatha are sitting with SKD. SKD asks them about Gowri, and how her husband died. They say that he was a very good man, and he died in an accident. SKD asks if they want her to get married again. They say yes, and in the middle, she was engaged to be married to Swamiji, but that broke off. SKD says, yes I know. Thatha and Ajji say that after that, whenever we talk about marriage, she changes the topic. SKD says, I know a person, who is very good, etc, and tells them about Prasad, his background etc. He says that he will send Prasad to their home. Thatha and Ajji are happy, but at the same time, worried about Gowri’s reaction.

      Later, at their house, Thatha, Ajji and Amma are sitting and talking. Nanjunda and Gayatri have gone out. Gowri comes and asks them why SKD had called them. Thatha and Ajji hesitantly tell her why. She gets offended. She says she has already said that she doesn’t want to get married, so why are you forcing me? I will get married when I feel I am ready. Amma tries to reason with her, she says, when you decide to get married, nobody might marry you. This person is a very good man.

      Gowri says, but he is a koTyaadheeshwara, it won’t be ok to marry someone with so much money. Also, why does he want to marry me? They all try to explain to her that he is a good man and has faced poverty in his childhood, etc. Amma tells her not to build dreams that cannot come true. Gowri says, I am not building dreams, I am just not able to forget the dreams that I had already built. She has tears in her eyes. Amma also has tears, she says, we are telling this for your own good, if we expect anything from you, it is just that you should get married and be happy. They leave. Gowri sits on the Uyyale and is lost in thought.

2195. Bellur, that is too good ;))

2197. Srik,

      Here are the lyrics….

      If you come today, its too early

      Million drums beat in my heart,
      Million dreams haunt my heart,
      Million desires spring in my heart,
      Million memories seize my heart.

2201. Yenivathu

      Annavra special?

2202. A list of Rajkumar songs (that I remember) which has english words in them:

      My name is Raj: Haavina Hede
      Love me or Hate me: Shankarguru
      If you come today: Operation Diamond Racket
      I love you: Nee nanna gellalare
      Mary Mary Mary: Shravanabanthu
      My lord nanna vaada: Chalisuva Modagalu

      And remember this same Rajkumar even sang songs like Maanikyaveenam, Naadamaya, Aaradhisuve, Bombeyaatavayya, Yaaru thiliyaru ninna, Kanneradhaare and many others which were pure songs based on classical raagas. What a genius he was. And what inborn talent!

2203. Naadiddhige 4 thinglu, annavru nammanna agali. Can everybody please share their fav. movie and song of DR.RAJKUMAR

2204. Hi Folks,

      As I was browsing for the lyrics, I saw a couple of other websites where they’ve used “If you come—” to depict how low budget Indian Movies were in the 70’s. People who arent worth the dust below Dr Raj’s feet have written rude words after watching the video which accompanies the writeup. I felt really really sad.

2205. Hi Bellur,

      My Vote is as below:

      1. Fav Movie : Bhagyaada Lakshmi Baaramma

      2. Fav Song: Too many; But, more fav than others: Manikya Veena from Kaviratna KaLidaasa

2206. Bellur and Vani,

      Thanks for the lyrics. It was too good visualising the song when I was going through the lyrics.

      Nothing specific, I like Dr. Raj’s all movies and songs.

      Some of my favourite songs being – Manikyaveenam, Naadamaya, Halalladaru haku neeralladaru haku, hosa balina hosilali nintiruva (shot in Dharmasthala), babruvahana ityaadi ityaadi.

      Yes, it is indeed very sad that he is not with us today.

      Shruthi, matte updates shuru madidira.

2207. My favorite has been annavra ummmm Babruvahana ,amele…Sri krishna Rukmini Satyabhama and 🙂 Srikrishna Gaarudi…. Srikrishnadevaraya, immadi Pulakeshi….oh oh i like all his movies…

      😀 I like him most in Pouranika and historic charecters…

      Last but not least in comedies i like his Bhagayada lakshmi baaramma and Shravana Banthu 🙂

      Bharjari Setting and vijrumbhane wise i like Mayura….

      List goes on

      Yaru tiliyaru nanna bhujabala parakrama, Premada kanikeya -Baanigondu Yelle yellidhe , Bangarada Manushya- Nagunagutha Nali Yene agali, Mannina Maga da..Bhagavantha Kai kotta dhudiyokantha

      Are few of my all time favourites

2208. This song is my all time favourite

      bAnigondu elle ellidE ninnAsegelli koneyidE
      Eke kanasu kANuvE nidhAnisu nidhAnisu
      bAnigondu elle ellidE

      Aseyemba bisilugudure Eke Eruve

      bAnigondu elle ellidE

      Of course … Music score by Upendra kumar and lyrics by one and only chi udayashankar

2209. My Fav movies are MAYURA, KAMANABILLU, Naa Ninna marayalare & many more.
      Fav song is Adisinodu Bilisi Nodu, Naniruvude nimagagi,Nadamaya….

2210. Rajkumar’s voice had the smoothness & depth comparable to PB Srinivos. His voice was capable of greater vivacity, noticeable in songs like Sigivem Kshanadali, Thai Thai Bangari, Naa Ninna Mareyalare, Le le Appana Magale and Aradhisuve.
      The theatrical background he had since childhood really helped him in acting as well as singing.
      Adept at rendering his voice to different moods – romantic, sentimental, devotional and semi-classical, his songs about Kannada language and culture such as Jenina holeyo, Maanavanagi huttidmele and Huttidare are immensely popular.
      He even sang a complete English song in one of his bond films. Interestingly, he lent voice for SPB in Muddina Mava and comedian Narasimharaju in Devasundari.
      Naadamaya, a classical song in Raga Thodi, which won him the national award for best playback singing proves his versatility as a singer with its complex graces as it progresses with other ragas. He switches between ragas with ease and sings Swara patterns just like a professional. Kalidasa’s shlokas, songs which are based on ghazals like Sadaa Kannali, Kanneera Dhaare, Gelathi Baradu and Yaava Kaviyu have also been very melodious and popular. Besides films, he rendered his voice for many devotional songs.

2211. Hi Friends,

      (Collected this data long back. Felt like sharing with you.)

      As many as 17 singers gave voice to Rajkumar before he started singing his own songs, and that was after he had been acting for over two decades. Until 1974, P.B. Srinivas was Rajkumar’s most frequent singing voice in films. But with the song `Yaare koogadali’, Rajkumar began his journey as the most famous actor-singer that the Kannada film industry has ever seen.

      Also, later on, Rajkumar sang songs in which he never acted.
      I have compiled those songs list.
      I don’t know the movie names for few songs at the end

2218. btw Bellur, neevu annavra page Wikipedia dalli nodidera (or update madidera)? Link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajkumar
      There are quite a few things there which I don’t like or its not to Wiki standards and when I change, it keeps coming back. Many people update the page to what ever they want 🙁

2219. You are a walking-talking Dr.Rajkumar encyclopaedia, Bellur!

2220. Hey Shruthi, thanx for remembering me still… As for the Dr.Raj, favs…well my fav songs are ‘Aadisi nodu beelisi nodu (Kasturi Nivasa)’ and ‘Baanigondu yelle yellide (???)’…. And the movie is I guess Babruvahana…. The inspiration of the person who was behind all channels playing Aadisi nodu…during the days following his demise, is to be noted…I’m sure there were hardly any dry eyes around… May the great actor live on….

      As for the idea of the poll for various categories, why doesn’t everyone contribute nominations??? They can then be filtered down to the top 5 for the final poll 🙂 What say???

2221. Diya,
      The song ‘Baanigondu’ is from Premada Kaanike. The Muktha poll will start shortly!

      Chaitanya,
      I have put the info given today here about rajkumar in the Wiki. just check out.

      Shruthi,
      I am nothing. Some fans can tell all the dialogues from his movies.

2222. Shruthi
      I had been to one of Dr Raj’s fan’s marriage and annavru with his smt were there for the reception, He had literally put a red carpet of rose petals for annavru to walk on from the entrance to the dias. I was surprised by that gesture, and annavranna avra fans hege follow madtharendre Kannada bittu bere yenu mathadolla, avra makkla hesranna itkondidhare, hage annavroo kooda thumba hathirada nentu itkondidranthe avra abhimani devrugala bagge

      I heard

2223. My Nominations would go for

      Best supporting actress Ajji,
      Best Villain – Chhabria
      Hero -Nanjunda
      Best Actor – Swamiji (Personal opinion :))
      Best boring charecter -Arund(athi)
      Best police inspector – Sandhya Mangalwade

      Heroin – I think none were 100% effective , maybe priyadarshini was little better.

2224. Looks like today the topic is around “Annavru”. I am very novice at such things so less to contribute. Dr. Rajkumar is a brilliant actor and I love to watch any of the DR. R’s movie anytime.
      Bangaarada panjara is my all time favourite. Bhaagyada lakshmi baaramma, kasturi nivaasa, baDavara bandu are others which I like a lot.

      Thats my 2 cents.

2225. Just wanted to share this bit. [jamba kocchkothidhini annkobedi]

      I met Rajkumar just 9 months before he passed away. Stayed with him for a couple of hours chatting about so many things in his room. Read more here:
      http://bellurramki18.wordpress.com/2006/06/12/the-hero-2/

      A couple of days after he passed away, ETV Kannada came to my house and made a story for their news. They shot all the posters, collages, scrapbooks and photographs I have of Rajkumar and it was telecast in their news.

      Also, another write-up in The Hindu:
      http://www.hindu.com/2005/08/05/stories/2005080507970200.htm

2226. Thanx Bellur… I was wondering if someone could direct me to where I can find the lyrics of a few of Dr.Raj’s hit songs???

2227. Ok, I will put it this way – in this forum, Bellur is the Rajkumar encyclopaedia 🙂

2228. Best supporting actor in a female role – Ajji
      Best supporting actor in a male role – Swamiji 😉

2233. INTERVIEW WITH BHARGAVI NARAYAN, MUKTHA’S POPULAR AJJI in DECCAN HERALD, 2 years ago:

      http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/aug152004/enter1.asp

2234. Hey,
      no one mention of Nagabhushanagauda magaLu 🙂
      She was a good actress as well.
      My vote goes to her 😉

2235. Do you all think Gowri will change her mind?

      Srik, Ok OK, specially for you, we will have one category —
      Best small role – Sharvani. Happy? 😉

      Usha, I agree, Rane has to be given some award, for example – best newcomer award 😉

2236. No Shruthi,

      Frankly I dont think so….she looks like a person with lot of determination and grit. She will adopt Chinmayee and stay as she is now is my guess.

2237. I think Gowri’s role is of strong willed person, i see Swamiji marrying her 😉 or she might also continueunmarried and adopt chinmayi. Another chance if is SKD interefering gowri might consider … but chances are bleak

2238. Oops Vani, We seem to think on same lines on gowri’s role…

2239. Great people think alike! 🙂
      She did seem very firm. And she seemed very confused too, with regard to her feelings.

2240. shruthi avre, great people yenalla bidi, saada saada people,

      Onthara Onti Mahileya Asahayakathe kanistha ithu, People are protraying a pic as if for a lone woman, marriage is the only solution anno hange, She is being Unnecessarily pressurised by people , She is an educated woman, her acting was good yest.. especially when she cuts the conversation requesting him to not interefere in her personal matters (Swamiji) and also is quite polite at the same time in appreciating his concern. She is firm minded

2241. by the way

      I saw nagatihalli chandrashekhar advertising about his new serial on etv ,maybe that will take place of Muktha.

      Muktha is in the program schedule of ETV kannada till 31 Aug 2006. After that only TNS and ETV will know till when they want to drag it further….

      I hope another court scene will not get added for Prabhanjan Mishra -Divorce or Chinmayee’s adoption

      I still wonder if CSP got all his fees or not?

2242. Bellur,

      The song, which he sang for SPB in Muddina Mava was

      “Deepavali deepavali…..”

      SPB has acknowledged on many occassions of Dr. Raj as background singer for one of his movies. He was in fact proud of that.

      Btw, I think one of your core competencies is – Dr. Raj (anything and everything about him).

2243. I had written a long comment on the “single woman” but somehow the page reset itself, and it got lost! 🙁 Anyway, biDi, nimage koriskoLLodu tappithu – Professor antha bere kareethira! 🙂

      Anyway, the gist was that if a woman is confident that she wants to stay single, then it is better than being trapped in a marriage that she is not interested in.

2244. i feel gowri will remain unmarried and adopt chinmayee.
      but ninne episodenalli i thought prasad should have left after telling the elders in the house.

      subbaramu,
      deepavali…. song is unique coz it is the only occasion when an actor of high repute has sung for a singer of equally high repute!

2245. kelavaru maduve aagilde single woman, but gandana bembala ilde iro hengasarige, maduve aadrunu single womanne, yentha viparyasa!

2246. Bellur, that is exactly what I mean. Antha situation nalli, single woman without marriage agodu better allva?

2247. Yes true, marriage is not the total solution in life

2248. People,

      I think I should get my parents to read this page…specially your views on women and marriage…

2249. Vani, Namna Attiskond barthare amele..nim parentsu…

      http://www.ndtv.com/template/template.asp?template=Terrorstrikes&slug=UK+Muslims+fear+backlash&id=91315&callid=1 chk out this

2250. shruthi,
      i agree with you. single woman are in no way insecure. but just got to think of their lives after 50 or so. nannavaru antha yaradru idre antha they may feel sometimes. i am not telling they will be thinking about a life partner. a relative or some friend on whom they can fall back on during some illness or difficult times.
      i have also noticeds another thing. i told that some woman are single even after marriage due to lack of husband’s support. such woman will have more will power and determination than a single woman or any other woman as they will invariably have a kid/s and bringing them up will be just their botheration and the husband will care a damn about the family…..
      but a woman who is educated and well off to a certain extent need not marry because of societal pressures.
      and personally i feel, gone are the days when there was an age for marriage. aravatthakke maduve aagbeku annisidre, aagodappa…..janaa yenankotharo antha kootre….as the WEARHOUSE PUCHLINE says, “it’s one life. live it!”

2251. Marriage is not the solution, but only a social security, as of today.
      I know many women, who chose to be single and have achieved much more than any married women.
      Marriage is a solution to all the problems, only when both the parties become the back-bone of each other’s success.
      Its equally true when the concerned is a woman or a man.

2252. Till now I have been a passive reader of this page .. But today’s topic urged me to comment on it ..

      well in cases like Gowri’s i feel its better to leave it to the person to decide .. u never know whts going in their mind .. there might be too many sentiments attached .. so one cant force them to marriage however practical the well-wishers find it ..

2253. Hi All,

      Have been late posting the update. Will do it in another couple of hours time. Thank you for your patience.

2254. Unfortunately producers are still rather shy of translating literary works into films, serials or plays. Heroine oriented, author backed roles are a rarity. I cannot recall a recent example, beyond Parineeta. Before the K serials of the Ekta Kapoor’s society women genre inundated TV, there was a very interesting series that translated short stories into single episode short TV plays. Some of them brought out the strengths of women much more powerfully than any of the big names in the K soaps. But if I recall correctly, again most were nostalgic rather than contemporary.

      Feminism may be big headlines and page three chatter; but hard-core feminism where women think like women, not like men, is still struggling for a voice.

      Novels would undoubtedly make an impact, if they managed to get read in the first place. Perhaps in the smaller towns and campuses, where reading has not yet gone out of fashion novels are devoured with some appetite.

      In elite circles, it is no longer fashionable to read. And if anyone does read, it is totally incomprehensible for everyone why anyone should read an Indian author, except may be a Shobha De or Jhumpa Lahiri ?

2255. A woman is always the stronger of the sexes..Be she married or unmarried…I personally feel that the decision Gowri took is very commendable…A woman requires but the “little things” in life to feel contented. If one finds that elusive inner contentment one does not feel the need for any outsider’s support, like maybe a spouse or close family even…Gowri has been portrayed as one of those silent strong types…A woman of hidden depths…She represents the core values which most women today hold dear..She was a dreamer enough to accept marrying Swamiji then, and a realist now to know that her life can move ahead even after all that din’t happen 🙂 I really don’t think she’s confused in her feelings for Swamiji…Her feelings for him still run deep I guess, but are more tempered and matured now that she has accepted that they can longer find open expression…Don’t you think that this only shows the depth of character possesed ???

2256. Bellur, just as an aside to your point about Indian authors…Well Shobha De and Jhumpa Lahiri are being read only after aggressive arketing of their works..Both by the Indian as well the international media 🙂 And the reading habit is increasing steadily, contrary to what reports may say…Youngsters especially the ones newly landing their first jobs are taking it up just to look knowlwdgeable and are becoming hooked to the habit 🙂 Loads of my own friends are living testimony to this 🙂

2257. I see so many women praising themselves today 😀
      Whats the matter… as if women are always with strength and attitude!!!

      Is it womens’ day today?!!

      Solitude can be a boon/bane to both men and women.

2258. Hey Srik, for me personally, everyday is WOMAN’S DAY 🙂

2259. Well said, Diya 😉
      And yes, I know lots of people who are taking to reading too. And they are teaching their children too. There is still hope.

      Rashmi, good to see you here 😉

      Bellur, after 50 or so, anybody, a man or a woman might feel the need for a companion. Not restricted to just women, like Srik said.

      On the topic of single women, if you are a woman who likes to travel alone, but if you are uncomfortable about the looks you get, and the unpleasant experiences, read these — Notes of a solitary traveller and Wanderlust for Women

2260. We need to nominate someone as Kittur Rani Chennama from this blog !
      Guys whoz ur choice ?

      Abba.. Obarigintha obru joor idare illi !!!

2261. I always wonder why companion is always taken to mean ‘spouse’??? A good friend, a sibling….any one who’s on the same wavelength as you at a particular time in life can be a better ‘companion’, than a spouse…Any comments from the happily ( 🙂 ) married folks, here????

2262. Diya, I totally agree with you. A sibling or a good friend whom you have known for a long time will make an excellent companion.
      Better companion – Yes, in one sense that there is greater understanding, and comfort, which comes out of a long history of being together.
      Better Companion – No, because you never know when your “companion” might find a spouse and desert you 😀

2263. Continuing with the discussion, lets consider other aspects of being a lone woman.
      Yes, certainly, Gauri can live alone, mite consider adopting chinmayi and stay un-married for life, dedicating her life to the cause of social service. Its because, she has courage to do what she thinks right.

      But at the same time, Arund(athi) and sharav(athi) are also women with athi characters. Can u imagine them living alone? They could’ve spoilt the happiness of themselves and the people around.

      My point here is every day should be cherished as a Man/Woman day, as Diya said. Being a woman is not easy, and so is being a man. everything is there in the attitude.

      Let Gauri take her decission. Whichever it is… hope it comes with the attached reason of self-respect and dedication to the ‘life’.

2264. Praveen,
      That was a good comment. Totally agree with you 😀
      When it comes to talking on women, these ladies are “Obriginta obru”
      Hahahah 😀

2265. True Shruthi…Every side has 2 coins 🙂 But the whole point of a companion is that come what may u know that in ur hour of need, they will be there for u..Also a good companion is one who’s literally figuratively is or has been in the same boat as u are, when u turn to them…

      And as Srik, says it’s not easy to be…Period 🙂 And I too hope that Gauri’s character does’nt lose her innate dignity, in the process of coming to a decision..

2266. Wowo what interesting info, thx all of you for participation..

      Interestingly me and my neighbour were chatting about strength of woman just yesterday, how she aggresively presumes her responsibilities in new environment after marriage, how she copes up with hurdles of life and how she faces life as widow etc. Another observation was few women are outgoing, aggressive, informed abt happenings around them, strong willed etc (Working or non working) and some emerge as submissive , not so aware of outside world, (Working or non working)these latter category might get dependable on family for guidance -For ex Transport, Money transactions, etc

      I have always wondered how these two categories get created automatically, Another thing is for these categories Education, Status of family nor work have any contribution to make at all

2267. Diya,

      Is there anything called as happily married folks. Just kidding.

      To recollect one old joke:
      Q: Why do everybody call it as Mother tongue and not father tongue?

      A: A father has no tongue (I would rather call it as a restricted activity) to speak, so it is called as Mother tongue.

2268. Bachelors/Spinsters are those who look, but don’t leap.

2269. Srik,

      It’s more to do with how our circumstances have molded us also…in Arundh-ati or Sharav-ati’s case, they havent undergone any sort of unpleasant situations in life like Gowri…she has seen more failures in life and so her experience has taught her that life is not a bed of roses, so obviously she’s better suited to take tough decisions in life and live life the hard way, unlike these two who are woefully dependent on others to keep them happy.

2270. Usha, this distinction is again a result of attitude..Some people – be it men or women – are just conditioned to make the best of what they have and try to better their situations, I guess…And the others just are not confident enough to take on the challenges they face… Our maids are the best example…With so little (according to us materialistically better off ones) going their way, they make better lives for their children and in the process themselves… Though uneducated for the most part, they are becoming more aware of the outside world…

      And as for their being “any happily married folks..”, I hope some of u at least disagree 🙂 Else what would the ones on the other side do???? 🙂

2271. And Vani how do u explain our IAM(Pandari bhai)? 😉

2272. Vani, can’t one learn from other’s experiences??? Of course, in Aru’s case her character has been portrayed real shallow…So it’s useless to hope so I guess..And Sharavathi being so self-centred, there’s no hope there too I guess 🙂

2273. Usha, I think, every child is born with no preset mentality. But in the childhood itself, girls are presented with dolls, boys are presented with cars, and boys are told, “You are a boy, you shouldn’t cry, why are you behaving like a girl?” and girls are told “Don’t climb trees like a boy”… such small things keep getting repeated over and over again, and gradually, that kind of mental setting takes over, that girls have to do this, and boys have to do that… that carries over to adulthood too… that fixing the light bulb, repairing the tap, are all the man’s work – things like that.

      And slowly, the woman falls back into the traditional role, and the man in his traditional role – this happens even in educated people. That is just the effect of society on us.

      Btw, Bellur, “spinster” is a politically incorrect word to use nowadays – people tend to take offence 🙂 so swalpa hushaaragiri 😉 – “Single woman” is ok, and nowadays they use “bachelorette” also, though I am not sure how correct that is.

2274. IAM …. again she might fall into submissive category who wants one or the other to pamper her, support her, financially, emotionally, … ally whatever

      And i have seen lot of women who are hooked to daily SOAPS telecasting these kind of situations, and come accross situations in daily life comment are in positions to advice people around them, but when it comes to facing it themselves, everything fizzles out… like staying alone in the house when other family members are travelling, intercast marriage of a neighbour comparing it with a incident of such sort in their house, Money handling , small things… very strange but.

2275. Srik

      Pandari Bai also falls into Aru’s category. She turned her back to problems (SP’s alcoholism and poverty), took the easy way out (Eloped with AM, only reason she has is that he kept her happy), she forgot her responsibilities (MP and Maithreyi) and even to this day depends on her children to keep her happy. She is also a “Palaayana Vaadi” acc to me.

2276. if tns reads these comments, he will wonder agape, “are these characters that i created really so complex?!” antha. and maybe after gaining so much popularity and suppose someone from this group of ladies tells the muktha story to their grandchildren, a thesis maybe written on
      “A tele serial MUKTHA’s influence on Socio-Cultural-Economic and Religious life of people”
      The thesis is best viewed as part of the historical struggle to create forms of university education that will empower all citizens, specially women to participate in an open, pluralistic and democratic society. The thesis is part of the social learning tradition that has, over centuries, sought to bridge the gap between theory and practice…….

2277. Yes shruthi I agree your point of differentialtion in child hood,

      but when they grow up, some women all of a sudden emerge among them as aggressive, taking full control of decisions in the house, running the family, planning , financial controls etc, even though the breadearner is there earning silently in the backstage.That surprises me (You know Sarsu Mylariah types)

      Where as some women ocntinue to be nam- yejamanranna keyli.. avru helthare, nangothagallappa antha

2278. shruthi,
      thanks for correcting….maybe you can call muralidharan, harbhajan singh, kumble and other spinners as SPINSTERS! 😉

2279. shruthi,
      fixing the light bulb, repairing the tap, are all the man’s work

      vani,
      palaayana vaadi

      usha,
      nam- yejamanranna keyli.. avru helthare,nangothagallappa antha

      really good comments, ladies! keep it going.

2280. Usha, that’s true – maybe it has got something to do with the husbands. If they find that the husband is the kind who will take over and do all the “male” work, so to say, then they will quietly disappear into the background. But if they are not like that, then the woman will have take over – after all, life has to go on! {Even before you mentioned sarsu-mylaraiah… their picture was in front of my eyes :)] Deep study of psychology is necessary 😉

      Bellur, that’s a good one 😀

2281. Vani, true, adakke atte -sose jodi chennagidhe… papa manamohana… 🙂

      Bellur… Yavdadru university navru doctrate awards declare madbidthare asthe adakke..

      Recentagi, Radiocity nalli Neena Gupta interviewnalli she was a question of efforts on empowerment of women in India, she said whats that, empowerment is already there in every woman of india, becoz she has to cope up with so many demands of society, but i would term it as fight for independence of women, which exists in small percentage which may be 2% types that too in urban side.

2282. Women!
      Good to see a healthier discussion on women!

      Based on the discussions, here are the possibilities for a young woman. People choose the best! or add a better one to the list

      1. Continue to be the good daughter of your parents. They will find a boy from a family which suits them. learn to accept and enjoy what’s in store for you.

      2. Be single women. Make your own life. Never bother about new life with others as you are not intending to be someone’s wife. Superiority need of kids can be achieved by adoption.

      3. Hunt for a guy or make preparations to get hunted. Validate pros and cons of the to-be-partner. make him to understand your strengths and weakness and then go for a marriage and thereafter live happily with occasional fights

      4. Be a sanyasin/nun or someother socially responsible institutes member and dedicate the life for the good of bad society

2283. Muktha Female roles (My view) people are welcome to suggest

      I A M –Palayanavadi
      M P –career oriented –Self centered
      Gowri – loyal, Stable , Firm minded
      Ajii – Practical, witty
      Mrs Rane – Submissive -need some support always
      Mrs Gopinath – Submissive
      Seethalakshmi – Submissive
      Arundhathi – Chathri -I term it as avakashavaadi
      Sharvathi – Sr Chathri
      Madhuvanthi – Kuthanthri – This is dangerous
      Annapoornamma – 18th century sajjanike – don’t know about behaviour
      Maithreyee – Balanced, Practical, professional -Modern naari ?
      Judge Magalu ( Srik’s fav :)) – Immatured… Pampered

2284. just had a quick glance while waiting for a meeting to start… oh man muktha thesis was just too good 😆 More later…

2285. @Usha

      Gayathir bagge enu illava

2286. Usha, Chhatri and Sr Chhatri — too good 🙂

      You forgot Gayatri and Priyadarshini 🙂

      Girish, the same can be applied to Men also, right, why only Women? 🙂

2287. @shruthi
      Agree with you that men can also be listed. As the discussion was on the prettiest part of the god’s creation, I have listed only women possibilities.

2288. Sharavathi, Gayatri and Priyadarshini, mooru WAR-gitthiru

2289. oh yes

      I forgot Gayathri – I think she too falls on submissive and some times chathri category 🙂

      Priyadarshini falls into Dr Maithreyee’s category think.. If you just observe, shes been silent contributor to her father’s , husbands success and has been handlng her environment well too isnt it

2290. Muktha Update

      10.08.06

      1. Srikantha’s house. He’s sleeping. Sharavathi comes from a visit to some neighbor. She asks him if he wants Coffee, but he doesn’t reply. She sits on the cot and feels his forehead, to find him running high temperature. She asks him if he met the doctor, he says that he doesn’t have money. He also says that he’s scared that he’s suffering because he’s troubled his family. He recounts of an incident that occurred in his friend’s house; his friend had invited some Swamiji home, when Srikantha went to take Swamiji’ blessings, Swamiji looked at his face and told him that he’d been unfaithful to his family and that his bad days have started. Sharavathi consoles him and asks him to approach Mahesh for money. Srikantha says Mahesh is a changed man now, doesn’t regard him as earlier. Sharavathi asks him to be strict and remind Mahesh about their help. Srikantha agrees and has a determined look on his face.

      2. Nanjunda, Gayathri, Ajji and Thaatha are playing Pagade. A Car draws up and they go forward to receive that person. It is Prasad, come with a butti of fruits. Prasad is welcomed and everyone is introduced to him. He states the reason for his visit and is very candid in stating his intention of marrying Gowri. He asks everyone their opinion and all of them except Gowri say that they don’t have any objection. Amma asks Gowri what she feels about the proposal, Gowri requests to speak to Prasad in private. She tells him that she feels that for two people to get married, both of them should be agreeable, but she is not in a position to commit herself to marriage at present. Prasad asks her if he (as a person) is what she is unhappy about, Gowri hastens to assure him that’s not the case. He asks her if she still feels for Swamiji, she cuts him short politely and says that may have been one of the reasons but she’s genuinely uninterested. She tells him that her people are very concerned about how she’ll lead the later part of her life, but she feels she’s capable of going through without any issues. Prasad asks her not to worry, and that he understands, and wouldn’t pressurize her to get married if she weren’t interested.

      3. MP is looking at some files. Maithreyi walks in and asks her if she has time to spare. MP asks her to say what ever is on her mind. Maithreyi tells her that PM had come to meet her and recommend himself for the post of Chief Secretary as the earlier home secretary has been transferred to some other department. MP tells Maithreyi that she wouldn’t want him to be the home secretary; she wouldn’t bear to look at his face everyday. Maithreyi asks her if him being her husband has any bearing on her decision. MP says that’s a major reason, the media or others may color their relationship in a totally different manner, or people might get tempted to get her on the wrong path by luring him. Maithreyi says but you are a professional, you mustn’t allow such issues to cloud your working. MP says it’s just not that, she is sure he has no real interest to serve the state. He’s a selfish person by nature. He dint come to see her when she was in jail, but the moment she became a minister he wants to get close to her. He has some motive in doing so, either he wants MP to get a bad name, or he wants to be the controlling authority, or he’s simply hankering for power. MP she may look for a good post for him, but will definitely not make him the home secretary.

2291. Bellur 4 world- WAR githeeru, too good

2292. Prettiest part? Very charming! 😉 But what I meant was, the same categories can be listed for men also, right? Or are there any additions/subtractions?

2293. @belur said “Sharavathi, Gayatri and Priyadarshini, mooru WAR-gitthiru”

      what about their husbands?

      “mattu avara gandandiru ‘AVAARA’ galu”

2294. Hi People,

      Apologies for the late update…I was distracted becos of too many things taking up my time.

      Thank you for being patient.

2295. No problems at all Vani, i dont think dealy was felt at all

      The forum was busy discussing 😀

      It is like visualising KBC -aaj kaun baitha hai hot seat pe 😉

2296. Shruthi you are making me to write the categories for men. I can assure you that this list will not be interesting.

      Continue to be the good son of your parents! (how many on this earth come in this category?). They will find a girl from a family which suits them. (boys will fight for it. tell on the face of their parents, its my life: let me choose the wife) learn to accept and enjoy what’s in store for you.

      Be single man (I dont believe this type of man!). Make your own life (whats life without wife?). Superiority need of kids can be achieved by adoption but its tough so think thrice!. Easier choice for single man is: On your bday or elders death anniversaries: go to some anaathashram, give sweets or food or books.

      Hunt for a guy or make preparations to get hunted (pass a word with your cousins and aunts and friends). Validate pros and cons of the to-be-partner (be sure that you will be taken for a ride. either you will be convinced or confused). make her to understand(?) your strengths and weakness and then go for a marriage and thereafter live happily with occasional fights. One word of caution: just lend your both ears during fight. dont confront, because you will always loose.

      Be a bhagna premi! try for 1 or 2 suicide attempts. someone will come in your life!

      Be a sanyasi or someother socially responsible institutes member and dedicate the life for the good of bad society (bit dangerous for the society so think twice before this plan)

2297. I A M –Palayanavadi
      M P –Egoistic
      Gowri – Gritty and determined
      Ajii – Practical
      Mrs Rane – Opportunist
      Mrs Gopinath – Submissive
      Seethalakshmi – Submissive
      Arundhathi – Egoistic, self-centered and opportunist
      Sharvathi – (Opportunist)3
      Madhuvanthi – Mixture (Submissive in front of her husband,
      dominant in front of others)
      Annapoornamma – Too good to be true
      Ninne – Monne banda hudugi ge aasthi bareyuvashtu
      bhanda dhairya)
      Maithreyee – More career oriented than required; also one of the epitomes of goodness (what happened to her husband and daughter)
      Judge Magalu – Immature; spoilt child

2298. Thank you, Girish 🙂 Bhagna premi category sakkathaagide!

2299. Continuing from Vani’s list…

      Sheela Prasad – Opportunist-4
      Deepa Nataraj – Maha-chattri

2300. My observation :
      Woman population is so widely divided among the following major categories of the list by usha and vani.
      1. Egoistic
      2. Submissive
      3. Self-centred
      4. Opportunist
      5. Palayanavaadi
      6. Kutantri
      7. Loyal

      Few belong to the following categories
      1. Practical
      2. Determined
      3. Firm minded

      Ladies and gentlemen,
      Its been a very good discussion today we had here.
      Analysed so many shades of feminism.
      Surprisingly, Veena is absent today. I missed a few of her interesting comments today.
      And also, this discussion brought back people like Girish and Diya. welcome back guys.
      There was one new entrant also Rash-mi. Good to see you lady.

      Award goes to everyone… all have commented(fought) well like praveen said “Obriginta obru…”

2301. Girishanna,
      BOMBAAAATAAGIDE LISTU! Bho ishta aaithu nanage.
      One word of caution: just lend your both ears during fight. dont confront, because you will always loose. adhenu vashikarana vidye kalthirthara antha? parpanchadalli generally ide case-u!

2302. Bellur,

      Sheela Prasad is a lesser opportunist compared to Sharavathi, if she sees reason, she compromises her stand…by saying (Opportunist)3, I meant Opportunist to the Power 3, and no one can suit that better than Mrs Sharavathi.

2303. I am feeling that the best thing what I did in recent time is join this blog , Oops my knowledge has increased drastically by my fellow friends knowledge exchange… Nanganutte nanu kooda ega buddivantha antha 🙂

      Feeling like singing song “Mareyadiru Sneha Bhageyadiru Drooha…”

2304. FLASHBACK!!
      Shruthi Says:
      January 17th, 2006 at 5:05 pm
      Hi everybody – I don’t know about Manvanthara, but I used to watch Mayamruga occasionally – I thought the story was good, but I used to find some of the female leads very irritating – they were so good and pious that I felt it was artificial. And they used to speak in artificial tones. In Muktha, I don’t see that artificiality – I think TNS has matured in his direction, and so has his cast. Also, here there are many grey characters – not black, not white – with a mixture of both goodness and badness – and that is how it is in real life.
      When I heard that Muktha is ending in Feb, I felt really sad! What will I do at 9 pm everyday??!!

      Felt this comment was apt for today’s discussion.

2305. Bellur,
      U r a encyclopedia of this forum!!!!!!!

      Thanks,
      Srikanth. 🙂

2306. Yes how true

      Life is always a mixture of good and bad things

2307. Abbabba.. Bellur, yellinda dig maaDi tegedri ee commentannu? 😀 😀

      And to think I heard that Muktha would end in FEB!! That sounds so funny now! :O

2308. Shruthi
      If you are oldest commentator on this blog, i had a small query.. There have been comments on this from Dec 2005 i guess, do u know how to access older posts if there are any? I was searching the other day for 2004-05 comments (On Muktha) Pls let me know.

2309. Professor,
      Statistical Survey of India!
      It is nice going through the old comments. And the way people have addressed Shruthi!
      Sample this:
      Hi Shruthi Akka
      Hello Shruthi Madam
      Thanks for the updates, ‘Backupfile’ Shruthi
      Updates were really good, Shruthi Aunty
      I agree with you, Professor!
      ANNA, BASAVARAJU, MAARK MAADAPPA.

2310. I almost took more than 25 minutes to read the entire 3 page comments. I read everything completely though I knew I have plenty of them to read. Generally when I read any big books I skip few redundant pages when felt unnecessary.
      Honestly I missed this blog very much today. I had some work & more than that many meetings. If I am working I still manage to take out some time for this blog but meetings doesn’t allow me to browse through because I will be away from the desk. peeTike doDDaddaytu. Sorry!!!!
      In between I was surprised to see an SMS from Vani saying “We are missing your comments in blog today” but equally felt happy for this(yaarige khushiyaagalla heLi?). I am honoured, thanks for your vishwaasa. Since my work got over only by 6 I decided to stay back at office to read & also write my comments. My security setting in my laptop will always fail me sanjay’s maths.
      Srikanth, you can pls read this comment when you login next time & make up the loss.
      Hmm… there were lot of things that were discussed upon. I have nothing much to say about Single woman. I generally like to share my experience & avoid concluding things looking at others. I am no more a single woman so I have nothing much to say.
      Let me say the other part of it so you can deduce my thoughts on single woman based on this. Probably as a general thumb rule, after our studies, career, etc., etc., Marriage is a next thing people would think about in
      human life cycle. illandre “Munde ? (think about kamal hassan in rama shaama bhaama movie here :-))” anno prashne baratte.. Its not that marriage is the only thing to do in life, but for sure marriage will not stop you from doing other things still.
      No doubt marriage is a wonderful thing to happen, probably in simple words, “Marriage is like a ball dance without stepping on each others shoes”. May be there would be several reason why people choose to stay single. Few of my observations are,
      1) One doesn’t get a suitable person to marry. May be due to high expectations or due to some unavoidable reason.
      2) One is much interested in career & not really want to spend time on family etc.,
      3) Influenced by others => one tends observe certain people failing in a relationship(close friends, parents, relatives), and conclude that its something which brings more worries than happiness.
      4) Thought of marrying somebody but couldnt happen for some reason & decide to stay alone (Love disasspointment?)
      5) Fear about marriage ==> I am happy being single, so why should I really marry ? What if something goes wrong & it creates probelms instead of happiness. Play safe & not take unncessary risk.
      6) Lack of responsiblity ==> Think that marriage brings in lot of responsibility & make one answerable to spouse. This leads to clashes if you are unable to fulfill each others needs.
      The list can be made big, but I will just stop at it. Well, there may be several reasons why one may want to stay unmarried. If I start listing the points to prove “Why one should marry” I can probably list more than 10. I feel that spouse is a person who can be your friend, guide, care taker, etc., etc., but the converse is not true. I don’t want to say herethat all married people are very happy & fortunate & neither is reverse statement true.
      Being a single woman/man is a welcome decision as long as you stick to it till your end. You should not rethink about it later at any cost & repent loosing many things. The least use of the marriage I can state here is “Somebody is there to take care of you when you fall sick”. Since we generally marry a person who is of equal age or little younger/elder to us, there is a more probability that they are with us till we die. Our parents take care of us most of the time(with selflessness), but how far would you expect them to live ? hmm….??
      Now don’t come & ask me what happens to people whose spouses die at a very young age. Thats destiny.
      I saw couple of views from other saying “Woman can be strong without even having a partner”, “She is confident if succesful in her other things(career) etc.,. I am not sure on what is the strength/confidence that is being referred here. One can be physically strong, financially strong but spouse adds up to one’s emotional strength. probably couple depend on each other emotionally rather than any other things.
      Its not that every person should get married for social obligation but I see there are several other reasons for one getting married. Though its a very personal decision of an individual, I vote for the other group of woman/man.
      I see that few people who commented about ‘PRO single woman/man’ themselves are married 🙂 they can just think/imagine themselves without their spouse for sometime & can know the difference.
      In this universe each entity has its own pros & cons. I belong to the group of believers who things marriage has more pros than cons. “bhOdisOdakke vEdaMta tinnodu badane kaayi” anno haakirbaardu alva namma views ?? “Lip sympathy” anno word coin aagidiya professor ?

2311. Veena,

      Your comment has made me create a new GAADHE:

      Old version: MOORTHI CHIKKADAADARU KEERTHI DODDADHU.
      New version: TOPIC CHIKKADAADARU COMMENT DODDADU!

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yen mini Sociology class thara ittu ivattu. 😉

2312. That was another topic on which I wanted to write. I see many recommendations on the “Best roles” of Mukta. Thanks to the brain child behind this idea.

      As Srikanth listed we are targetting to list out the negative part of it though I see few positive roles. Srikanth, enu maaDodu ? ella ‘K’ serials na prabhaava. I have read somewhere that we tend to cry when we see sentimental/traumatic scenes/movies because we try to imagine that we ourselves are undergoing that trauma as that of the person enacting the role in the movie. so what ever we do we tend to find ourselves within that, so roles selection haage irbahuda ? 🙂 Hope I am not too bad to pass such a harsh comments(apologies). sumne heLide. Or may be bad ones are more conspicuous than the good ones. KeTTa kelsa maadidre bega famous aagtaare jana aadre Olle kelsa maadidre news paper headlines alli barok aagatta ?

      I noticed two things here, Sheela prasad as avakaashavaadi & MP as ‘egoist’. Personally I like both the roles for their positivity.

      I am personally a fan of MP & have autograph of hers(Mysore nalli(1999-2000) mayamruga samvaada aadaga naanu kalaamandirakke hogidde), I like the way she presents herself. Madhavi paTelu nange ishTa and the person MaLavika nu nange ishTa. confidence, principles, straight forwardness ella. spouse vichaarakke baMdaaga swalpa ‘aham’ jaasti aagbi emotions mele control hogibiDatte aa paatrakke but ninne episode nalli she justified the reason & I think yaare MP jaagadalli idru avaru kshamaa bhaavane torisodu kashTaane. so this justifies for her being egoistic. Even my husband quoted ‘What she said was right’ in not giving ‘PM’ the post of Home secretary.

      avara taayi bagge kooDa avarigidda hatredness has a reason, so she not being very considerate about her mother has a same justification. MP is a strong character in Mukta serial. Maitreyi na tumba positive aagi torslikke try maaDidaare, but even she had differences with her husband sometime back but they show her to be more considerate. May be one reason is that she is a psychologist so avarige bereyavara manassu Oduva capability iratte antha justify maaDabahudu.

      Sheela prasad is one more character I like in the serial & same holds good here too. SP & ‘Aparna’ ibbaru nange isTa. once sometime back Raman rao comes to SP & invites her to contest in elections aaga baro conversation is fantastic. raaNe pakshakke sErkoMDu illa sallada kukruthya maaDodu beDa, SKD pakshakke seri ‘Athi’ adarshanu bEDa, I am happy with how I am with my profession antha. also TNS as a lawyer is excellent, but just think about him as a spouse, its an utter failure character. bEjavaabdaari gaMDa anno birudu koDabahudu, ‘Maneg maari Orige upakaari…’. If the husband cannot take the responsibility then what would wife’s like SP do ? They have to exploit the opportunities & get the family going, so lawyer is her profession & she fights for her clients. so her character is justified. amele CSP kooDa starting nalli avaLa office munde marad
      keLge office open maaDkonDu olle ped pedda tara aaDtiddu aprastuta, adarinda SP ke avamaana aagolva ? atleast I would expect my spouse to behave decent in such situations.

      MP egoist aagokke, SP opportunist aagokke justification ide, so pls avara characters na ee vibhaagakke vote maaDbEdi.

      ************************************************************
      The best/influential female roles I like (in the same order) – Gowri, Ajji, MP, SP, Priyadarshini,Usha gopinath

      The best/influential male roles I like (ditto) – Swamiji, TNS, Manmohan,SKD, Topi sheshappa, Mallikarjuna swamy,
      purushottama.

      Best acting & most influential role – RaNe(nagaraja moorthy). I think the last day’s acting of his brought him this credit.

2314. Muktha Update

      11.08.2006

      1.CSP’s house. He’s sitting with a morose look on his face, surrounded by policemen. SKD and MP walk in. SKD asks all the surrounding policemen to leave the room. They enquire about his well being and CSP is very scathing in his replies. They apologize for making him wait. He is sarcastic and says it’s ok, you people are VIPs now, and I cannot make demands on you. Your policemen came here with sniffer dogs; they sniffed the whole place and started barking as soon as they smelt me. Your Police personnel frisked me but found nothing. One of the Sub-inspectors also asked me to make tea for them all; I got them tea from the Moole Canteen. MP is apologetic and says that they are helpless but have to follow protocol of security provided to CM. SKD tries to pacify him; CSP is not one to be convinced easily. He is very upset and says that they have conveniently forgotten him. He has faced lot of difficulty with them not giving him his fees on time. SKD tells CSP about all the problems that occurred after the elections, and also informs him that he has sent Devanand to get the money from the bank. MP asks him why he didn’t attend MM’s marriage. CSP says they are a big crying lot. I couldn’t have borne to watch the whole set crying during the wedding, especially that this would have been a golden opportunity for them to start crying. And they are all epitomes of goodness. That Swamiji deserted Gowri for the sake of Dharma. Dharma became more important to him compared to Gowri’s feelings. I feel irritated on their goodness. All of them laugh.

      2.CSP asks them if they came there only to pay his fees. SKD says that they had some other work nearby too, and also a condolence meeting for Rane had been organized in his constituency, which currently MP is representing. CSP asks if there was a big crowd for the meeting, MP says there were nearly 2 Lakh people, but they were speaking as though she was responsible for Rane committing suicide. MP says she has been feeling guilty after visiting Rane’s wife. Rane’s wife blamed MP and SKD for driving Rane to suicide, but it was not their decision alone, the cabinet forced them to take that decision. Each time she closes her eyes, she sees Rane’s wife blaming her for his death. CSP is surprised and chides her for feeling so. He says each villain portrays himself to be a martyr at the time of his death. Do they not remember AM & Usha Gopinath? Don’t they remember the ruthless manner in which he finished off his political rivals? Don’t they remember the number of scams he was involved in? Just because he tried to portray himself as a martyr in his last days, she need not feel guilty. He says that Rane spoke to him just before his death and blamed him for being in jail. He said he knew how to escape and that God would take care of CSP. CSP tells MP and SKD to stop feeling remorseful for Rane’s death.

      3.SKD tells CSP that the post of the Public Prosecutor has fallen vacant and that cabinet feels that CSP would be the right choice for the post. CSP immediately declines. SKD asks him the reason and he says he’d like to fight for justice. He’s always stood against the system. Even in SKD case, he stood against the government. Today SKD’s government is straight forward; tomorrow there might be changes in the ministers’ attitudes. He’s like to take up the cause of those who’ve been wronged by the system. So he wouldn’t want to take up that post. SKD tries to say something, but CSP is very clear and refuses. Devanand walks in with a Cloth Cover full of money. SKD tells CSP that the cover contains Rs 5 Lakhs, which SKD wants to give CSP as fees. CSP takes Rs 2 Lakhs from the cover and returns the remaining money to Devanand. He asks SKD to handover 1.3 Lakhs from that amount to the detective agency, and the remaining money to his wife for arranging for their daughter’s payment seat. He asks SKD to mention that amount as Sheela Prasad’s consultation fees, as she wouldn’t take it from him, because she’s very independent. MP comes forward to offer him another Rs 2 Lakhs, he asks her to hand it over to Devanand, who has paid a part of her fees. MP is surprised and touched at this gesture. CSP asks Devanand to explain everything. When Devanand refuses to accept saying that MP has helped him by transferring him to the city and gotten his mother admitted to a good hospital, SKD asks him to accept it as a loan and return it whenever convenient.

2317. Sanjay,

      Any Idea why I’m getting below message next to my update post?

      Vani Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation.

      Hope any word-count restrictions havent been imposed… 🙂

2318. Usha, Sanjay wrote this Muktha post itself on April 27th 2005, so comments would start only after that. When I commented sometime in Nov-Dec, there were only some 20-30 comments. So main discussion started only in 2006. So you haven’t missed much.

      Veena, “Ball dance” analogy – wonderful! Good to see your comments 🙂 Compensation 🙂
      Yeah, Veena, you have said that most of the people who have done PR for single women are married themselves 😉 — But you must remember that at some point, we were all single women 😉 — so we know what it is like! 😀 – Speaking for myself, I was quite happy, and I could have easily gone through life without getting married, if I hadn’t met S! 😉

      Mala, nimmannu yaaru address maaDi mathaDolla anda maathrakke, yaarigu neevu gotthilla antha andkobeDi 😉 — kelavomme, ondu eraDu pages yaaru nannannu maathaDisolla – aadare nange gotthu, yellaru nanna comments odiddare antha. Nanna comments mele yenadru add maDookke iddre, add maDthare, yenu illa andare ignore maaDthare – nangenu bejaarillappa! Similarly, naanu kooDa yellara commentsigu uttara bareyalu hogalla… it works both ways.
      Yellaru yenanthira, naanu heLiddu correct allva? [NoDi bekaadre, ee prashnege uttara bardenu irabahudu – but I don’t mind 😉 – naanu heLiddu heLibiTTaythu 😉 ]

2319. Yen Ivattu ella silent ?

2320. Shruthi,

      True, I agree with you. We are all aware of the contributions of each and everyone…these days, there has been a sudden increase of interactive topics. At least on my side, I can say there has been a little less activity on my work side, because of which I’ve been able to voice my opinion on various issues. Collectively speaking, for all of us, I feel none of us has felt left out on any issues so far.

2321. Mr / Ms Shadow…R u a new entrant to the blog?

2322. Same here Vani, kelasa swalpa kaDime ide, that’s why I am taking part so wholeheartedly in these issues, and it is always a pleasure to discuss with people who have clear ideas, and are not afraid to voice them. 🙂

2323. Hi Vani,
      I am not new entrant, I am old buddy of this blog with a new IDENTITY 🙂

2324. Now let’s guess who this Shadow is 😉 Any guesses, anybody?

2325. Yaaridu ? Mystery Man ?

2326. Gents/Ladies,
      You time starts now & guess who is this NERALU.

      Sanjay,
      U R exempted coz I know you can trace me with my IP address or my mail id as I have not changed this.

2327. How many guesses do each one of us get?

      Well, here I toss the first coin?

      Chaitanya?

2328. Vani, I say it is definitely not Chaitanya.
      I say Praveen. 🙂

      I think we are the only two guessers, everybody else seems to be on holiday :O

2329. Wow Shruthi,
      U got the right one ! You are correct !!!!
      BTW how you me MADAM ?

2330. Looks like we’re the only two working today Shruthi….

2331. Wow cool 🙂
      I knew it was a regular – but someone who only leaves limited comments. There are only a handful of such people. And it seemed like a male, not a female commenter. So that brings down the choices. And the style of writing seemed like it might be yours – so I just took a guess.
      Bellur, to all the names you have listed, “Akka, aunty, madam, professor” — you can also call me Sherlock Holmes now 🙂

      Yes Vani, everybody else is taking a long weekend off 🙂

2332. hi folks,
      rajaa hakilla ri, somavaara beligge neeligalu…..andre monday morning blues!
      saw an excellent interview with TNS on Zee kannada’s ABHIVYAKTHI on Saturday night. some notable things he told were:
      >> I was really down and out when i faced difficulties before venturing into television….my behaviour was irrational….used to beat and scold my family members…
      >> after writing serials which have strong female roles, am easily able to think like one.
      >> money makes anybody egoistic. it has made me too. but when i go to a second hand book store, which i love to visit, and see so many books with excellent stories, the ego level comes down…..
      shruthi, u r really clever ( i know how u could guess praveen’s name!!) helalla bidi! 😉

2333. Its always proved (again proved by Shruthi)that even though we change our mask we wont be able to change our original face…

      Any way Shruthi congratulations for you Investigation method.

      Y’day I was going thru my flashback memory on the novels & all of sudden I happen to remember a novel by name “The Writer” which I read in a Kannada version a long agao(may be 10 yrs back) & the character which I always admire in that Novel is “SHADOW”(he was an detective) & thought of penetrating in to new identity with a character which I admired a lot.

      I just read this novel( 250 + pages) in less than 48 hrs & this novel was in mind for a very long days like an wound on the leg.

      There are still more novels which I love for my lifetime… I usually attracted to Kannada Novels rather than English.

      Here after i will be know as S-H-A-D-O-W.

2334. Shruthi,

      Don’t worry, even am working today. Abbabba, enu ee naduve 2-3 hours bittu matte ee page visit madidre long list of comments. very difficult to update.

2335. Hayyooo Didnt pass maths after i wrote a comment 🙁 i lost the data.

      Amma, yen istondh commentsoooo, yen kathe, isth speed adhre henge?

      Malamma , nimna yaro mathadsalla andhre yaroo neev bardidna node illa anthana, nodirtheevi, obobru ond ondh topic choose madkondu adra mele comments post madtha hogtheevi, its a chain of discussion asthe.

      Innu bere long commentsge time agilla nodakke, Just to proove even i m working i had to reply fast:)

      Innu, Friday episode TNS and SKD conversationbahala interesting agith, Khurchi and (A)vyavasthe bagge.

2336. and the way, tns did namaskara in the end, looks like his role is OVER in muktha for good!
      and really, watching his interview in zee-kannada was too good!

2337. and the still showing tns was so unlike CSP’s role in the serial(not-after-money kinds)….coz he was doing namaskara with a big smile….holding BUNDLES of CASH! irony!

2338. Yeah,

      TNS has this way of characters doing namaskaara while appearing for the last time, even Rane did that the night before he committed suicide.

2339. Hayyo vani CSP noo Suicide?? :O Rane thara …

      Good observation , even i felt that that was his last piece of acting in the serial antha, infact i was litle surprised when he got the fees, remembered my comment abt his fee collection, nan followup nodi scene complete madidra hege?

      Bellur, Nanu abhivyakthi miss madbitte ree, every week watch madodhu adhu program, i had to travel to Tumkur on emergency,

      Do they re telecast them by any chance?

2340. usha
      re-telecast bagge gottilla.
      what i liked was the way tns spoke about his weakness and the way he saw difficulties and how it changes your views on life.
      certain prog. on Z-Kan are really good.
      etv-kannada-dalli ninne sanje ondu olle kaaryakrama nodide. halliya sogadu, parisara, kunithagalanna thorisidru. yeshtu talented people irthare prapanchadalli antha khushi aaythu. but felt sad that not all of them get recognised.

2341. Yes bellur, lot of talents go unrecognised..

      That way chandana has regular features, doccumentaries giving info abt the state’s arts,music,interviews, culture, forts, rivers,temples, picnic spots etc.

      Other kannada channels unfortunately do not cover so much, but Z kannada is definitely making some efforts, but saaldhu

      Jothege they do not publish any program guides where we can visit, and they do not follow a set pattern, swalpa khastha ee commercial channels prog schedule follow madodhu

      Nimmellara gamanakke…Pavagada Prakash Rao avru Sathya darshana pustaka horatandidare-Maratakkidhe -200 Rs ,

      Usha, I told you right, someone is spying on our comments 🙂

      Bellur, Usha – that way – thousands of people in the world whose talents go unnoticed. Namma parents mane pakkada sitenalli construction aagtha ide… Gaare kelasa maaDuva ondu family alle ondu room nalli iddare..

2343. About Zee Kannada – at the same time that Muktha is telecast, there is a serial in Zee Kannada called Swabhimaana, has anyone seen it? The make up is SO BAD that it is unbelievable! In this day and age… such ATROCIOUS makeup!! Adenu beku antha haage iTTiddara, yenu?? Does anybody know?

2344. shruthi:nice to know about the talented youngsters near your parent’s house(drawing and modelling!)
      such ATROCIOUS makeup!!
      maybe they are targetting the PAGE 3 fellows! 😉

2345. Hi friends

      Yaradroo idara member agidheera? ANy feedback on their chapters? and activities?

      http://www.ekavi.org/index.html

2346. HI..Whoa guess everyone was too keyed up to take a weekend off 🙂 Took me all this while to catch up 🙂 Mala, just wanted to reiterate what Shruthi n Usha have already said..Welcome here 🙂 Regarding talent, I personally feel that many people who’ve left comments here were emboldened to do so, on seeing the universal acceptance here..And in the process discovered their own hidden talents 🙂

2347. usha,
      thanks for that info abt pavagada prakash rao. the satya darshana prog. is a great hit on DD chandana alongwith THATT ANTHA HELI!

2348. Usha,
      I am a member of EKAVI from past 2.5 yrs, Its a group of Volunteers who work for the cause of Kannada & Karnataka, Also there are lot works done by this group for the benefit of Kannadaiga’s. This group also actively protest when there is a danger for Kannada.
      Recently they celebrated a Sangeetha Sanje for the memory of Dr.Raj & during that time they had given Rs.50000(Fifty thousand) for KS Ashwath as his economical condition was not good. The money was contributed by the members of Ekavi.

2349. ‘abhivyakti’yalli seetharamu.
      TNS acting on monday was really good. the way he cleared the rubbish approach of SKD and over-acting madhavi patel was good.
      Devanand is too good for such a small role. allava. he should be doing a bigger role. I heard from TNS that, he is more behind the screen!

      new serial from Umashri – Kichchu, will it make big. I was wondering as what to do from 11 to 11.30 in night!

2350. Shruthi,

      Aa Swaabhimaana serial nali Appi-Tappi maneg baliyo distemper – suNNa togondu mukhakke baLkondiddare ansathe….

      Generally, other than Mukta or Silly Lalli, in almost all serials, make-up is atrocious…neevu idakke heegantheera, u must watch Udaya TV or any K-Serials on the Hindi Channels…

      One more thing, Maybe I’m wrong,but I dont recollect watching any K-Serials on ETV Kannada. I’m intrigued. Anyone has seen this?

2351. Correctu Vani– mukhakke maathra alla.. Thale koodaligu ashTe — modale wiggu.. aa wiggigu baNNa. Asahyakaravaagiratthe.. Namma Sharath Suryavamshina nODbeku adaralli… ewww!

      K-serials idyanthe Vani, madhyahnada hotthu baratthanthe — kunkumabhaagya no anthaddeno hesaru.

2352. VANI………Plz touch wood…Thank God there are some channels at least which are still eminintly watchable 🙂

2353. Shruthi that serial’s on Udaya not ETV…

2354. Oh, Diya, is that so? Confusion! Then, Vani, it is indeed worth a thought!

2355. SS is quite a talented actor ansathe…Yeah, Kumkuma Bhagya is on Udaya. Not only here, I’ve also observed on ETV Telugu, which is also another channel I watch. Good that atleast some channels are able to monitor the content and give the viewers some sensible fare.

      Considering that almost all channels are pay channels, there is no one forum where the discriminating viewer can decide what he wants to watch. Really unfair, alwa?

2356. Girish, you are right Devanand is episode director. You can see it in the title card. But, even for the small role he has played, it was superb. Especially his acting on the day of meeting MP after she became Home Minister, he comes and meets her.

2357.

2359. Mostly Mailari Patil(MP’s Pet Inspector) kai kottidorinda nam Devanand picture bandirbohadu alwa ? btw do you guys remember MailariPatil ?

2360. Yeah,

      Mailari Patil was also involved in behind the scenes activity in Muktha…his absence is surprising.

2361. ee mylari jnaapkakke bartha illa……annavra jothe bangarada panjaradalli ittalla tagaru, aa mylari jnapkakke bartha ide!

2362. Bellur,

      He’s the villain in Preethi Illada Mele (Not that I watch that, I’ve seen him on the rushes)He sports a crew cut and his face has some sort of marks like pimple marks or so.

2363. Bellur,

      This mailari patel was the investigating officer in the previous court case. He was one of the pet inspector’s of MP. Btw, Mailari tagaru…. chennagittu. I could also recollect it.

      Don’t know if this is true..

      Hi All,
      Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August.2006 . It
      will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.
      This will cultimate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of
      Earth.

      Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like The
      Earth has 2 Moons. Don’t Miss it…..

      The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.

      NOTE: Share this with ur friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it
      again

2368. The mega portal of Kannada cinema Chitraloka is throwing a feast for cineastes on the occasion of Suvarna Karnataka. An exhibition of 2,500 stills from films released between 1934 and 2006 will be on display at Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce, beginning August 14.

      http://www.hindu.com/fr/2006/08/11/stories/2006081102170100.htm

2369. [p]shadow-anna,
      worth going to see the exhibition, yenantheera? sakkathagiratthe seeing the b/w photos of pandaribai, balanna, rajanna, gv iyer, narasimharaju, dikki madhava rao, Sorath and KS Ashwath, jayanthi, kalpana, bharathi, kalyan kumar, uday kumar…. among others!

2370. Journalist cum cinema press photographer K.M.Veeresh is organizing a photo exhibition event which is first of its kind in the history of Indian Film Industry. The exhibition named Chitraloka will have display of a photograph each from over 2500 kannada films released in 72 years of history of Kannada Film Industry. Though Veeresh entered as sports photographer in early years of his journalism, he later on turned his interest towards cinema. With 16 years of experience as cinema press photographer, its is remarkable Veeresh is not using not even a single photograph clicked by his camera in this exhibition.
      Veeresh, editor of Chitraloka.com says it was difficult job to contact earlier production banners for collecting photos. In this achievement, empire photolab, PRO’s and others came to his assistance to collect essential stills. When he went in search of old photos, many stills were in worst condition (torn, scratches). All such stills were corrected at later stage, added Veeresh.
      Seven days Chitraloka Photo Exhibition will be displayed at Karnataka film Chamber of Commerce from August 13 to 19. Indeed collecting photographs from over 2500 movies starting from Sati Sulochana (1934) upto films of recent days is definitely a remarkable achievement. Chitraranga.com expresses its heartily wishes to Veeresh.

2372. Mala, that Mars mail is a hoax mail. I got a clarification mail from http://www.spaceweather.com (I have subscribed to their newsletter), and this is what they say —

      MARS HOAX: A bogus email is going around the Internet. It claims that Mars will be historically close to Earth on August 27, 2006–so close that Mars will look as large as the full Moon. This is not true. Here are the facts: On August 27th, Mars will be on the other side of the solar system, about 385 million kilometers from Earth. The red planet will look tiny and dim, nothing like a full Moon.

      The “Mars Hoax” email first appeared in 2003. On August 27th of that year, Mars really did come historically close to Earth. But the email’s claim that Mars would rival the Moon was grossly exaggerated. Every August since 2003, the email has staged a revival. It’s as wrong now as it was then.

2373. this is called GRAHACHARA! becoz “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”!

2374. Muktha Update

      14.08.06

      1.Srikantha comes from work. Sharavathi is speaking on the phone to someone. Srikantha is upset and asks her if she’s been spreading her sob-story everywhere. Sharavathi denies and says she would never do anything that would bring down his prestige. Srikantha tells her he’s upset because of other reasons. Sharavathi asks him about his meeting with Mahesh, Srikantha says Mahesh was very rude to him; when he reminded Mahesh about his help, Mahesh threw Rs 50,000 on his face and asked him never to show his face again. When Srikantha threatended to own up about the theft of the CD, Mahesh told him that he doesn’t care. Srikantha tells Sharavathi that he’s scared that the Swamiji’s words are coming true. Sharavathi consoles him and says things will work-out for them eventually.

      2.MP’s residence. She’s scrutinizing some files when Devanand walks in. Devanand informs her that Nawadkar has come to this state. They discuss the antecedents of Nawadkar. They both observe that he’s not committed any murders, but is into extortion and illicit liquor business. Devanand reminds MP that Nanjunda was also involved with Nawadkar sometime ago. MP tells him that she had recommended that he be granted state pardon becos he has changed, also now that Aru is her brother’s wife, things are a little delicate. She requests Devanand to give her time for a day to speak to Nanjunda and then if she finds something, she would ask Nanjunda to speak to Devanand.

      3.Swamiji is meditating, but is unable to concentrate. Gowri walks in. She tells Swamiji that things are beginning to be like the old days, she has to support her grandparents and mother. Swamiji asks about Nanjunda’s earning, she says he now is family man and has his own priorities, and they would not like to depend on him. They tried the Chinarika business, but that failed miserably, she got a high paying job, that didn’t last. She feels that she probably aimed for something more than what she deserved, and so she wants to work in the school as music teacher. Swamiji is surprised, but agrees. She rises to leave, Swamiji asks her why she refused to marry Prasad. Gowri tells Swamiji there is no use asking such questions. Swamiji tries to question her if she still feels for him. Gowri says she will not answer that and says she would like to maintain a purely professional relationship with him, and that there should be no scope for any references to the past.

2375. Namaskara. Is everybody here today? 😉

2376. Atleast, I am, Shruthi…
      But not for too long. Will be off in the afternoon, am going home to help my mom prepare for Krishnashthami Feast.

      😉

      Will post the update shortly.

2377. Ellarigu “Krishnastamiya Shubashayagalu”

2378. Muktha Update

      15.08.06

      1.Mallikarjun Swamy’s residence. Thaatha and Nanjunda are dozing. Phone rings. Thaatha asks Nanjunda to answer, Nanjunda in turn asks Gayathri to answer. Gayathri speaks briefly on the phone and gets back. She tells them that it was Gowri on the other side. Thaatha says what with Ajji along with Gowri, Ajji would have felt like watching some movie or going somewhere else, so Gowri must have rung to inform that they would be late. Gayathri tells Thaatha that he’s wrong, when they were about to start for home, Gowri received a call from Chinmayee’s house that she was not well, so they decided to drop by there and then come. By this time, Amma joins them and supplies coffee to all. The paper boy delivers newspaper and Nanjunda reads a news item that Nawadkar is in the state. Gayathri is worried, but Nanjunda calms her and says there’s nothing to be worried about.

      2.Manmohan’s residence. A girl walks in and tells the security in-charge that she’s Aru’s friend and would like to meet her. IAM is sitting on the lawn and asks who it is. The girl walks to her and introduces herself as Mridula, Aru’s friend. IAM tells her that her son and daughter-in-law have gone to the Hemagiri Matha and will be back later. Mridula gets up, but is asked by IAM to stay back till such time that Aru is back. They both walk in.

      MP is speaking with some people. Nanjunda walks in. He greets her, but she’s very curt and tells him that she’s not going to treat him as her relative, because he has been summoned for official enquiry. Nanjunda tells her to go ahead and ask him. She directly asks him about Nawadkar. Nanjunda says he has left that field now and doesn’t have any idea. MP says that she knows, and also that’s the reason he was pardoned. She further tells him that she knows that he met Nawadkar twice after he quit the underworld. She tells him that he mustn’t forget that she was a police officer before she became a minister, and had he not been related to her, he’d have already been in custody and subject to third degree. Nanjunda breaks down and starts crying saying that he does not know anything. MP tells him that he has 24 hours to find out the whereabouts of Nawadkar. He has to co-ordinate with Devanand and provide all the necessary information. Nanjunda agrees to act accordingly.

      3.IAM offers coffee to Mridula. She asks her if she has any problem. Just when Mridula is about to answer, a car arrives and Aru walks in. She’s very happy to see Mridula and enquires about her parents. Mridula tells her that her mother committed suicide unable to tolerate her father’s drinking habit. She says they are undergoing lot of difficulties. Aru asks her if she needs any financial help. Mridula says she’s managing for the time being by taking tuitions and music classes. She is pursuing MA; in the final semester they are supposed to submit a dissertation for which they are assigned senior professors as guides. She has completed her thesis, but it is yet to be okayed by the professor, who is asking for immoral favors from her as a fee to process her thesis. She requests Aru’s help in solving this issue as MM is the education minister. Aru assures her that MM will take care of that.

2379. Okay people, am off for the day. Happy festival to all.

2391. > Swamiji tries to question her if she still feels for him.

      I’m wondering why the Swamiji wants to know and whether he planned to **do** anything about it if she had said yes! Else what’s the point, isn’t it lip sympathy…

2392. thanks Shruti for the moderation. Inspiring post you’d written on Bhagat Singh… I recall at one time there were several Bhagat Singh movies at the same time. RK read about coffee as well and have commented there.

2393. Sanjay, after a long time! 🙂

      So yday the episode ended with a twist! Navudkar himself in Nanjunda’s house! It looked like he was looking for refuge, correct? If that is the case, Nanjunda and co ge DharmasankaTa!

2394. shruthi,
      i am expecting shodashopacharas to navudkar in nanjunda’s house today.

      sanjay
      that link you sent had 53,428 words. very humourous article! thanks.

2395. I feel Navdkar may surrender with the help of Nanjunda & Co, Coz in past episode i recollected someone was telling that he want to leave underworld….

2396. Muktha Update

      16.08.06

      1.Mallikarjun Swamy’s residence. Gayathri is getting ready to go out. Ajji and Thaatha are having one of their usual quarrels. Thaatha asks Gayathri where she is planning to go. Gayathri replies that they are off to watch a movie. She waits for a long time for Nanjunda, but he doesn’t turn up. He comes home quite late. Everyone scolds him for failing to keep his word to Gayathri. He scolds Gayathri for being immature. Amma and Thaatha question him and he tells them that he’s helping the police nab Nawadkar. They worry about his safety and Gayathri is in tears. She asks him not to get involved in this. He does not agree and snaps at her. She walks inside with tears in her eyes. He explains that he has been pardoned for his activities only because he has promised to help the police nab Nawadkar. He also assures everyone not to worry, and that he will take care of himself.

      2.IAM is speaking on the phone to Gowri. She tells her that Aru is not keeping well; she is admitted to hospital with fever and body pain. She says that she’s just conveying the information and they need not worry. Mridula is waiting in the hall and asks IAM if she should come some other day, considering that Aru is not well. IAM asks her to wait. MM comes and tells his mother that Aru is still not very well, and that he will go back to hospital after couple of hours. IAM tells him that Mridula is waiting. MM is rude to her and asks her if she’s so selfish that she can’t wait for her friend to get well, and walks away. IAM goes to him and explains the situation. He immediately comes out and says sorry for his rude behavior earlier. Mridula tells him that she would come back to speak to him later. He says its not required and promises to look into the situation.

      3.Nanjunda and Gayathri are in their bedroom. Gayathri keeps a gloomy face and Nanjunda comes and apologizes to her. Gayathri tells him that she has been taught that Pathi is Sarwasva, and that she’s very scared about his future. Nanjunda tells her that if he loses his temper with her, it’s only because of his love for her.

      Nanjunda is on the phone with Devanand. He tells him that he’s found out where Nawadkar is at present, and asks him to be ready for an operation at around 2.00 AM the next morning. Amma asks Nanjunda if this isn’t risky, and tells him that thy all fear repercussions from Navadkar. Nanjunda assures them that nothing will go wrong. Around this time, someone bangs the door loudly but doesn’t answer when asked who’s outside. Nanjunda opens the door and we see Nawadkar entering the house in a hurry. Everyone stands speechless.

2397. vani, thindigalu kaanisthide bag-alli! thengolu vaasane GHAMMMM anthide. aamele kodi parvagilla.

2398. Yes Veena,

      Chances are quite high fo Gowri and Swamiji’s wedding.

      Actually, avathu Swamiji wasnt able to concentrate on his dhyaana when Gowri was standinng in front of him. At the risk of sounding judgemental, avra mansallu chanchalathe bandide antha aaythu.

2399. Bellur,

      Caught me ! Namma manager ge swalpa maska hodiyakke togond bandiddini…yellarigu Gokulashtami tindi sadhyakke virtual reality nalli kodthiddini…mukha-mukhi bheti aadaga fresh aagi tindigalu talupisthini.

2400. Vani, Ahaaa tinDi!! nange nange! 🙂

      I thought Swamiji’s sixth sense told him that Gowri is there, and that’s why he got disturbed 🙂

      Gowri and NanjunDa will now go to Swamiji and ask him which is greater – Dharma or Kanoonu. Dharmada drishTiyalli sahaaya matthu rakshaNE keLi bandiruvavarannu biDkoDbaradu, aadre kaanoonina kaNNInalli police avarige heLibiDbeku. Yen maDodu, swamiji?

2401. Swamiji will valiantly (but unsucessfully) try to keep a stern face, and tell Nanjunda that kaanoonu doDDadu, because even Dharmada prakaara tappu maadidavaru shikshe anubhavisabeku.

      Shruthi, maybe namma mane tindigalu (iga maadirodu) naavu mukha-mukhi bheti aaguva time ge haledaagiratthe. When we meet, fresh aagi maadida tindi tarthini.

2402. shruthi,
      lol….gowri-nanjunda-swamiji situation!

      vani,
      when i was a small boy, my sodaratte used to come from kolar and used to bring all these kuruku-muruku thindi. i used to be always on the road playing and as soon as i saw her near the road corner, i would not even say hi or anything, i would start searching her ‘butti’….she would have already kept a small ‘nandhini’ cover to be given to me near this road corner. and all boys hiding while playing ice-pice would come out to eat the thindi!

2403. thindi andhaga idu jnaapkakke banthu. and maneli newspaper haridu yellarigu thindi was ‘Hunched’, of course doddorige jaasthi and the best pieces of kobri mithai and chakkli….namage muruklu, karaklu….makkalu alwa, ashtella gottagalla antha….eegina makkalige maadi hinge, yellar mundhe baiskobeku ashte.

2404. Ok Bellur,

2405. Haa, now since u r no longer a child, now u get big and whole pieces… 😉

      Yare madidroo adu Kolaraddadre adara taste bere biDi. 😉

2407. Guys, I am back after a loooooong break. Srik, its not the IE version problem, its something related to networking/cryptology. This happens with many sites which has login validations or such things. Fortunately I am able to login to my office mail through internet. However yahoo emails & others I can’t access. These BSNL tech team are not reachable at their designated phone numbers. Since this was not a show stopper, I have not aggressively worked to resolve this issue.

      Hmm.. Swamiji manassu chanchala goLisida reeti teera asahaja vaagittu. I feel that we can never forget our past so easily, & that to such a intimate happenings in one’s life. Though It was an arranged marriage for me, I still remember the proposals that I have had till we finalised on my husband Prashanth (roughly around 13). adralli swamiji & gowri du ontara love affair & the point had officially came till marriage. Adaralli gowri bere full kanasu kaaNtidru. so swamyji astond sulabhavaagi idanella mareyodu tumbaaane kashTa. adrallu gowri avara hattira iddashTu he will become vulnerable for loukika.. Earlier it was shown as if swamyji was least concerned & he was untouched/moved with the incident, which I feel is not practically true. Athva swamygaLige manasina mele control maaDo capacity irbahudu. eeglu college nalli yaaradru propose maaDidre, avaru namma munde ee dina kaaNiskondre, I don’t think we can treat them as same as other classmates, it becomes hard to even have an eye contact. Sorry if the comments sounds too personal… I thought it was needed for explaning the intensity of the matter. folks, your views please.

      About dharma & kaanoonu. I vote for the second one but it depends. If the mistakes are pardonable & haven’t caused much havocs then ok but not otherwise. Atlease Rane case nalli kaanoonu doDDadu, but manmohan’s earlier mistakes were pardonable(taking into consideration that his mischiefs have not harmed anybody & he realised his mistakes later). This was my take on the current scenes.

2408. Bellur, that was very understanding of your sodaratte 🙂
      Vani, so sweet of you 🙂 Aadare nange Nandini packnalli saalalla 😀

2409. HI All, I am pretty much impressed with this web site… mainly because of my favourite serial muktha updates. Good show Van. Maybe if someone has video tapes, one could put the episode summary of Mayamruga too. That would be a bonus!!! Nice website.
      Rao:)

2410. Bellur is it Ice-Pice or Eye-spy ? I thought Eye is related to kannu & spy is like secret agent & thats how the word was coined. This is just what I think, pls don’t feel otherwise.

      Nandini cover reminds me lot of things, that blue color with a cow & a calf logo on it. Now it has changed, a milk drop with different colors based on the level of pasterization. Also in olden days, Dairy Milk means only Nandini. My parents used to prefer the ‘Hasu haalu’ which used to get distributed by some local janta there.
      Now it has all changed, we have many compitators like Heritage, Arogya etc., I don’t like the concept of using Upendra as a brand ambassador of Milk(aarogya milk or nandini milk) as he also is a brand ambassdor for some Soda/hot drinks.. (yella ok some sort of ad). Upendra fans pls pardon me.

2411. Bellur\Srik,
      Nanu kooda Kolar prodcute…I was there is kolar till my 12 yrs

2412. shadow,
      i am a bangalore product, but i like eatable products from kolar, as any other place!

      Veena,
      it is actually I SPY andre I will be SPYING antha. but as kids, we used to say, baaro, ice-pice aadona adhikke haage barde.
      and as for the nandhini packets, there was a jackfruit tree in our house and monkeys came in dozens in the ’80s. when this milk fellow came on the cycle, monkeys used to flick a few packets and climb atop the j.fruit tree. they used to make holes in the packet, eat a halasina thole and press the milk so that milk flew like a fountain into the already full mouth. what a combination! and i used to love this scene most afternoons!

2413. Yenu Kolar navaru yella gang maadthiddira?

      Su, thanks for dropping by this page. We all welcome you here. Hope you will be a regular like all of us.

2414. Thanks Van. By the way, I made thengolu yesterday, ashtami antha. Ivathu officege thandidde… yella khali. Yellaru “muruku” muruku” antha thindru. Idu “muruku” alla, thengolu antha heli heli sakaythu maraithi. Anyways, ee janagalige naaligene horalalla!!

2415. Not Bad ! All heavy culinary experiments, huh!

      Namgoo togondba aaytha?

2416. BTW what is this thengolu ?

2417. Shadow,

      Thengolu is a fried snack, it is made with the same dough as Chakli acc to my mom. Chakli is made with a different mould and Thengolu is made with a different mold, and in chakli sesame seeds (yellu) are added flavor, whereas in thengolu,only jeerige is added.

2418. Yenri Shadow, ThengoLu gotthilla anthiralla 🙂 Yumm yumm 🙂

      Btw, idenu Van, Car, Bus anthella 🙂

      Other contenders please come farward.

2420. I opt out in the beginning itself.
      Other contenders must come farward with one tasty recipe…
      Bellur dont come out with coffee recipe… we all can manage that 😉 May be CTR dosa recipe will do.

2421. Shruthi,

2423. And by the way, Van is not pronounced like the vehicle van, but like how you would pronounce ‘born’… so ‘Von’ with nn sound of ‘banna’ (colour) in Kannada. Thumba korithaiddini ansathe. 😉 Mathe Van, adu chakkuli alva, not chakli, sounds like Bruce Lee and Chak Lee… :D. Okay, ivaga I am a little bored. Post lunch mampru bere. Yavaga manege hogthino ansathe. Adu ee oorallo bari bevarina male. East or West Malleshwara is the best. What say?
      And prathi sala ganitha madi madi sakaithappa. Schoolnallu ishtu maths madilvo eno?…

2424. hmm thengoLu bagge keLe irlila pa… but esp in such matters I’d prefer some experiential understanding than reading about it 😉

      my ajji used to avoid anything with yellu in it in her later years though she loved these things… ushNa jaasthi anthaidru. illiyavaregu I’ve never understood this ushNa (heat) concept – is it that body heat increases when we eat yeLLu (for eg). one of the places she loved was bajji available at sampige road malleswaram, opposite the Sai Baba temple, RK have you eaten there? and that reminds me… nobody in the previous discussion on dosas spoke about Janata Hotel!

      CSP, the aley story looks interesting… it could use a bit more details though, its far too abstract. I’m yet to read the Kannada script. Best wishes to your friend that he’s succesful!

      Even before Nandini covers we used to get milk in bottles when I was a small kid. The cold unboiled milk was much tastier and I often used to empty the entire bottle and then get blasted by amma 😈 Upendra is the ambassador is it, have never seen the ad… what does he say… yella ok, ee haalu yaake? Btw which movie is this song from…

      they’ve mixed that old janapada song
      “hendathi iddare something… koTi rupaayi… naanu sipaayi” and after 2 lines of that, there’s upendra saying “bari vooLu” I guess purists might resent this corruption but I thought the remix was pretty cool! 8)

      RK I’m reminded of the time my uncle was bitten by a monkey, and got so many stiches. He used to tell me the same story over and over again so many times that I ended up becoming really scared of monkeys!

      —

      Veena about the personal comments: I agree its hard to let go of the past but its possible. Atleast even from school days I’ve always known how easy it is to get into emotional traps and have always been very careful about avoiding them. Right from school days I knew that if at all I would have any, I wanted to have exactly one girlfriend for my life. Of course I had a lot of close friends who were girls, but they were always purely friends nothing more, not a bit of romance.

      I decided to get married, I did get into some tricky situations myself (mostly through arranged marriage encounters). It takes some investigation to find out who that is until she is found and that investigation can be quite risky because suppose I like a girl and then she takes me too seriously and then I decide she’s not the one it becomes a difficult situation for her. I met one apparently really sensible girl who told me not to take relationships so seriously until things are finalised. Btw she turnd out to be my mother’s very close childhood friend’s daughter, what a great surprise that was! But later on SHE ended up saying that she suspected that I had fallen in love with some other girl and she could not get that out of her mind! Me of all people 😆 There was another girl whom I really liked but took a very long time to make up my mind that I liked her since she was abroad and I’d only spoken over phone. This post error tolerance was written after being rejected by her. It seems she’d told her dad, cinema style “if he took so long to make up his mind, how’s he going to lead the rest of his life”. I tried a lot to persist in making her change her mind but she absolutely wanted nothing more to do with me.

      Its been fun talking about all these stories with my wife. In hindsight I feel I couldn’t possibly have gotten along with any of them and I feel a great relief that none of them had worked out!

      After 3 months of very happily married life, there’s no doubt that everything that happens is for the good! 🙂

2425. Su,

      that’s for convenience that I said Chakli instead of chakkuli….juggling this with other work…avaaga speed and effective communication saluvaagi chakli anta barde maaraithi…bruce-lee andre I remember Bruce-Lee pataudi…remember him?

2426. Sanjay,

      Aa Sai Baba temple yedrugade iro Bonda-Bajji angdi nalli display show-case idyalla, alli ondthara ee round white tubes type item ittirthaare (adra shape ee gardening ge use maado neerina pipe tharaa irathe) ade thengolu. Iyengars dip this in sugar syrup and make a sweet snack…we make only the salty variety.

2427. As far as I know, ushna means body heat… it is mostly used as an adjective referring to any edible object that produces body heat. // The bondas in the shop in the parallel road of Halli Mane, I think the shop is called Annapoorna or something… makes the most exotic bajjis and bondas in the world. In fact, he also makes thengolu every day. But I love the aloo gadde bonda and masala vada that they sell there. Amazing taste. Also, Janata I think was always famous for Goli Baje and Vadas. I am not sure if it was famous for dosas. Perhaps I should try out this time when I go to BLR. I heard Adiga’s bandide antha. Van hogiddya? When I was a kid, we used to visit the old Shanti Sagar in Sadashivnagar Bhashyam Circle and Megh Sagar opposite that. But later on, we became regulars at Veena Stores, (now Surya on 11th cross also), Janata and CTR. Not to forget benne idlis at Raghavendra store or something near Malleswaram railway station. Okay, I am always… overwhelmed with Malleswaram. It’s like “You can take Rao out of Malleswaram, but not Malleswaram out of Rao”.

2428. Yes Su,

      I visited Adiga’s on Independence Day… quite good I must say, and I felt the price wasnt too high also.

      hey, no one to beat the Cabbage Vadas in Planters Coffee home…I remember wrinkling my nose on going to that dingy place.

      And I’m waiting for u to come over to BLR…imagine what fun it will be visiting all those places..

      All, FYI, Planters is now Halli Mane in Malleswaram.

      A

2429. Vani,
      Thanks for making me understood ThengoLu.

      Sanjay,
      This song is in the upcoming movie of upendra “AISHWARYA”

      BTW anyone tried to listen song from ” Sevanthi Sevanthi ” ? Songs looks good with a lot of JANAPADA touch.

2430. Su Rao, I agree totally with you about Malleshwaram – “You can take Rao out of Malleswaram, but not Malleswaram out of Rao”. It applies to me too 🙂 — I am also Rao – Shru Rao 😀

      Yenri ivatthu kardidda thinDigaLa bagge maathaDi baayalli neerooristha iddira yellru.. VoN, yella nimmindane 😀 — Su Rao, neevu yeshTo vaaragaLinda namma jothe maathaDtha iddira anstha ide.. hosabaru ansthane illa 😉

      Yaarigadru naanu reply maaDlilla andre bejaar maaDkobeDi 😉 😉

2431. Ahhhh… I feel Jealous of all of you when you people talk about CTR,Veena stores, Adiga etc…. As I rarely get chances to visit other part of Bengaluru. If I want to make a journey to that parts it like going to other town for me as I live @ Whitefield.

2432. “You can take Rao out of Malleswaram, but not Malleswaram out of Rao”.

      > I am not sure if it was famous for dosas.

      What is this Rao! Earlier during school days, just walking down 8th cross and I would feel hungry smelling the dosas from Janata Hotel. It was like a major event in our house… “oh ivat sunday koNamma, yelrigu Janata inda dose tarasbiDoNa” I would eat dosas all over south India and the best compliment I would give was “this almost comes close to Janata Dose”. At some point in time the management changed or something and then the dosas reduced their quality and we went to other places for years. But recently visited it again and the dosas are pretty good.

      Another place we’re frequenting nowadays is Nalapaka in Rajajinagar 1st block. It has davanagere benne dose which is quite good, but somewhat more like soft dose made at home than the usual crisp masala dose. But there we also get open dose and puttus (like mini-idlis but fried, and several other unusual things).

      Have been to Adigas (Sampige Road, 15th cross intersection). Really huge crowd, have to wait for lunch. But waiters are very polite and nice, and ambience though slightly tight is really good – good view through the glass. I agree food was pretty good and reasonably priced.

2433. Shadow, the songs from Sevanthi Sevanthi are all known Janapada songs with remix & not the other way. All of them are old janapada songs which we used to sing during our school days.
      Not heard about AISHWARYA songs. I remember Upendra being a brand ambassadors for some milk, I see that hoardings even now. Ella ok thing is for some hot drinks.. Im not getting that name though. I personally don’t like his ideas, I remembering Shruthi writing an article about how Cinema/media is affecting the youth showing such aggressiveness in bringing the change though its good.

      Sanjay, Nice to read your long comment & not sure on when should we start taking the relationship serious. This relationships needs not be the person like Girl friend or a marriage proposals, but may be friendship too. For eg., Mukta friends, I take this as a serious relationship which we need to commit/oblige for. I sense the same things from others too. Not sure on how to comments on your other instances!! Finally, the happy married life is what matters. Hmm… aadadella OLite aayitu is what pu.dasaru also says….

2434. Sanjay,

      Namma maneli standard dialog same irthitthu, except that the dosas would come from CTR…I know someone’s antennas will go up immediately on the mention of CTR… 😉

2435. Mr. Neralu, how are other songs of AISHWARYA – shall I buy the CD?

2436. Shruthi,

      U remember one old AD that used to come during Cricket World Cup?

      “All the best, All the best, Ham Sab ki dua, All the Best”.

      Likewise to you also. Happy working. 🙂

2437. rao,
      glad i found another fan of malleswaram! all those hotels and bonda shops you have mentioned are really top-class.

      sanjay,
      yes that is one of my fav. bonda shop opp. sai baba temple. of course, janatha hotel is the best for vade-sambhar! and i remember the milk bottle with a small aluminium foil cap…was in kerala for some time in the 80’s….even there milk was distributed in the dark brown bottle with aluminium foil cap.
      nimma uncle kothi kathe ninge heliddu odhi nagu banthu guru!
      upendra is the brand ambassador for both nandhini HAALU & UB-AALKOHAALU, ade viparyasa!

2438. See, CTR vishaya prastaapa aada koodle obru bhaari active aagthaare….allivaregu silent observer tharaa irthaare.

2439. Hahaaa,
      VoN… its like neevella malleshwara gang madillwa adikke Kolar gang ondu irli anta 😉

      Sanjay, that song “HendatiyobbaLu…” is not a janapada song.. its a poem by our Mysore mallige kavi “K. S. Narasimhaswami” popularised by Mysore Anantha swamy in the album called ‘Bhava sangama’.
      It was good to read ur pre-marriage confusions 😉 a right bell for ppl still single.

      Praveen oooooops shadow,
      those sevanthi songs… are all remixed versions of our old janapada geethegaLu. Frankly, I didnt like the idea.. as the songs were really good as they were.. and they were popular too…
      However, it was an attempt to re-visit our janapada geethegaLu, which must be appreciated.

2440. Sanjay,
      I felt songs are good… Mostly songs are with good music rather than lyrics.
      However its worth for our money 2 by the CD.

2441. yeah CTR is standard in our house most of the time, when we want a change we go for Janata or Nelapaka. And Veenas is standard for idlis. Recently saw some other person in Veena stores, I was surprised, he said he was a regular customer and sometimes helps them… that was really cool! 8)

      Veena good to read about commitment to relationships, I agree it applies to any relationship 🙂

      Thanks NeraLu, will check it out!

2442. Srik,

      U r making me wait too long for the concluding post on Thriller Trilogy….yenu pancha vaarshika yojane aagidya?

2443. Actually nammanelu dosege standard andre Janatha hotel!! I heard about CTR only in 2000 when a friend told me about it and took me there! Bellur, Vani, bejaarskobeDi 🙂

      And nalpak’s davangere beNNe dose……. AHAHAAAAAAAA!!! 🙂

      and I think this Ale CSP will hardly put his THALE again this side! So confusion yenu aagalla bidi.

2448. Yeah…
      vani, its not panchavarshika yojane; just taking some time to post that one. You keep asking me the same and I’m giving the same answer 😉

      Veena, astondu tale kedisko bedi.

      Bellur,
      Hats off to you. It was really a great work and that Hindu article provided much info about your personality. You are really a genius man. Great work. Expecting more from you, Sir.

2449. what hindu article, I might’ve missed that? Btw I saw RK’s interview on TV taken some months ago after Dr. Raj’s death it was pretty cool. If you visit his house you can ask him to show it (its a 15 minute clip on a VCD – wrt his photographs collection of Dr. Raj) See if you can put it online RK.

2450. Yen Bellur, nimma bagge gotthillade irodu innu yeshTondu ide ansatthe!! What is all this Hindu article and TV interview?

2451. I echo Shruthi’s question.

2452. Veena,

      Nimm confusion clear madtha iddini…naanu yaaru antha nimage gothu, alwa, nann hesarina motaku Van / Von…innu Su / Rao is my cousin who got to know of this blog from me..since she’s not in BLR, this is a way for her to catch-up on the serial and also get involved in our interactive sessions too…yenu confuse maadkobedi mathe…;-)

2453. Sanjay mite’ve seen this one..
      Shruti, VoN and others who have not got it, here’s the link : http://www.hindu.com/lf/2005/04/28/stories/2005042810810200.htm

      Yesterday I’d posted some write-up on RK Narayan and then I got this link from none other than our RK here.

      Lets all clap once for this ardent fan and beautiful work he’s under taken.

2454. Shruthi,

      Bellur bagge every week patch releases idda hage hosa hosa vishayagalu barta ide. jotege tingalige ondu sala major release kuda agta ide. It is very difficult to catch up on his blogs. By the time you finish the backlogs, there will be a whole lot ready.

      Btw, Bellur I had been to CTR last week with a few of my team mates. Most of them had at least 2 dosas.

2455. Sorry for creating the confusion here,
      But I couldn’t tadko my excitement after all that I read about Bellur… so thought of sharing my excitement here.

      Subramu.. patch release and all.. 😀
      Yeah seems to be so.

2456. Thanks Srik, Namma Bellur avara innondu hosa aspect tilisiddakke.

2457. Muktha Update

      17.08.06

      1.Continuation from Last Night’s episode. Nawadkar tells Nanjunda that he has to help him escape the police, they are looking for him. Nanjunda tells him that his running away is futile; they would catch up with him very shortly. The door is banged again. Nanjunda tells Nawadkar that definitely it is the police, and he turns to open the door. Amma screams and Nanjunda turns to see Nawadkar pointing a gun at Gayathri’s head. He pulls her along with him to an adjoining room. Nanjunda opens the door to find an inspector standing outside with a couple of constables. He asks Nanjunda if Nawadkar has come that way. Nanjunda says he isn’t aware, and inspector recalls that Nanjunda is the one helping them to nab Nawadkar. He apologizes for disturbing them and walks away. Nanjunda asks Nawadkar to come out. Nawadkar comes out along with Gayathri and apologizes for behaving the way he did. Nanjunda tells him that he can’t run for too long. Had it not been for Nanjunda saving him, he’d be in custody. Nawadkar says yes, he understands. He says that he’s come to surrender. If the police had caught him, they would have finished him off in some encounter or he’d have been sentenced to death. If he were to surrender on his own, the punishment would be lesser, and so he requests Nanjunda to help him surrender. He says that he’s aware that CM, MP and MM are close to this family, and so he came to seek help.

      MM is speaking to Mridula. She tells him about the problems she’s facing from her project guide. She says initially she wasn’t able to understand why he was dodging her when it came to submission of her thesis, later on she got to know from other students that he is a womanizer. She says that acc to other professors, her thesis is perfect, but this person is harassing her. MM tells her that as he is only a state-rank minister, he has no say in the matter, but promises to take her to the Education Minister to get her a letter allotting a different guide for completing her dissertation.

      2.MM is in his bedroom, looking at Aru’s photograph. He starts speaking to the photograph itself. He asks her if she isn’t missing him, and that he is really missing her, and that she has no heart. IAM comes to the room to see him proclaiming his love to the photograph. She asks him what he’s doing. MM is embarrassed. He makes lot of lame excuses to get his mother call up Aru and ask her to return. IAM asks MM if he’s free to pick her up the next day, as he was telling someone he dint have a minute free the next day. MM tells that for Aru, he’s free the whole day.

      3.Late at night, Mallikarjun Swamy’s residence. Everyone is sitting with a gloomy face. Gowri asks Nanjunda if it is safe to harbor Nawadkar. Nawadkar overhears and tells them that he will pose no problem to them. He says he wants to surrender because of his only daughter, who is ill and has no chance of survival. She has refused to speak to him and acknowledge him, and his wife got to know at some temple that they are suffering because of his misdeeds. He says that in spite of having more than adequate riches, he’s unable to save his daughter from imminent death. He has realized the futility of all this and decided to surrender to the police. He requests Nanjunda to help him this one last time, reminding him of the fact that Nawadkar himself has helped Nanjunda some time ago.

2458. One good thing in yesterday’s episode was IAM laughed!!!!!
      after a long time, yes she laughed yesterday.
      May be glycerines are out of stock here, Shruti/Chaitanya, u were supposed to supply glycerines, remember? 😀

2459. Hmmm… Navadkar’s things are happening as i guessed earlier !

2460. Ellaru tumba busy aagiro haagide….very few posts today…

2461. Srik saw the link for the first time only now… WOW! Hats off RK!

      Shruti, the video interview on TV was about the 2005 entry here: Rambling with Bellur: Dr.Rajkumar: My hero

      naav yella seri paapa RK na attakke yeresthaaidivi… anyway naanu swalpa beeListhini ivaaga 😈

      RK, CSP is a close e-friend of mine, he wanted to advertise about his very enterprising friend’s Kannada movie and I was the one who suggested he post the link here. You shouldn’t have made fun of him!

      Anyway relax, knowing him, he wouldn’t be bothered much so don’t worry 😉

      In general, I’d say we all tend to take strangers for granted, for eg we may insult a bad driver on the road. For all we know the same driver might end up being the interviewer (we go for some job interview) or might turn out to be some close friend’s relative, etc. I’ve found that travelling is one of the activities where strangers gradually start losing their ‘strangeness’ and almost anyone and everyone is like a known person. When I lose my temper on the road due to someone’s bad driving, then I might still shout at the person but using more to-the-point words, and also even if things start becoming hot, I suddenly crack a joke and that completely changes the situation! 8)

      Nice update Vani, The story is really touching – I missed it as I left office only at 21:30!

2462. Hi all, Van, I have missed so much in this serial, that it seems difficult to follow most of it. But am kinda getting the hang of it. Anyways… perhaps if I keep track of this site I would eventually. Going back to one of the comments whether Upendra should endorse Nandini milk.. I think people get into all this just for the money. Nobody even thinks about the social implications. However, Naanu 2-3 sala Upendrana interview madiddini. He seems to be a very down to earth person. His childhood stories are really touching. Avana thande maduve chatragalalli adige madi duddu sampadusithiddaranthe. And sometimes, the whole family had only temple prasada to eat for the whole day. So, perhaps it is pure lust for money that drive people to endorse products. I read in Viggy.com that upendra is working in a remake of krantiveer, am sure it will be full of violence and language— as my aunt says… ‘ra’ kaara and ‘ma’ kaara.

2463. attadamele koorsiddakke and kelge yelidaddakke dhanyavaadagalu. 😉

      thank you everybody for all those nice things you have written about me.

      sanjay,
      what goes up must come down annodakke ide example!
      anyway, i didnt make fun…veena told this new csp and tns-csp may get confusing…..so i used the film ‘ale’ and put a rhyming word….ashte….really didn’t mean to make fun. to quote actor umesh: anna, apaartha maadkobedanna, ayyayyo!
      and that traffic analogy was so good…..just today morning i had a tiff with someone while driving to office! so timely your comment has been!

2464. Bellur, I did not know all this about you! Wow! Too cool! 🙂 Now we have to see both the books 🙂
      Btw, Sanjay, I remember reading the Dr Rajkumar post on Bellur’s blog — but TV interview andare??
      Rao, are you a media person?
      Vani, in a meeting all day long – that’s why no comments from me 🙂
      Srik, exactly – I also thought the same thing – I did not even know that IAM could laugh 🙂
      But I think Manmohan talking to Aru’s photo was extremely silly 😀

2465. shruthi,
      etv-kan came home and shot me with my collection of rajkumar’s posters, collages and scrapbooks which have all been autographed by raj himself. they showed it a couple of days after rajkumar’s demise. i have spoken and sung a song….ashte….nothing much….

      and yes, all those interested are welcome to see the scrapbooks and the collections……coffee kooda sigatte (tholadiro lotadalli)! 😉

2466. heh heh Bellur – the joke was pretty funny (as usual) and I didn’t need the explanation, thanks 😛 Shruti the video was post Dr. Raj’s death when some channel interviewed him and he explained and displayed what he’s written about in that entry.

2467. not nothing much – I found it pretty good (though usually I get bored of interviews)

2468. Yes, Shruthi, I am a media person. Dr Rajkumar bagge tidbits odabeku andra, one can go to viggy.com. Alli Subrahmanya antha obbru avara experiences baradiddare. Very readable.

2469. Oh, that’s good to hear, Bellur. Recording kooDa thorisabeku neevu haagadre!
      And ThoLadiro lota – too good 😀
      Thank you Rao, a site interesting aagi iro haage ide, I did not know about it.

2470. It was terrible to watch MM speaking to Aru’s photo, Shruthi…you know, when the director introduces a character, aa character bagge namma mansalli ond tharaa kalpane itkoLthivi, and we expect that he / she behaves in a certain predictable manner…when that falls flat, tumba bejaaragathe… for ex, I had always expected MM to be sensible, yesterday his behavior came as a complete dissapoinment to me…

2471. manmohan, arundathi, IAM iro capsule bandare, i play cricket/lagori with my son! 😉

2472. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I’m so tired 🙁
      SCHOOL CAMP WAS NOT FUN. IT WAS TIRING 🙁
      Anyway, anythig IMPORTANT been happening in Muktha? Not the usual, just anything that stood out ???? 😛
      HAVE FUN!
      Keep 😛 !
      Ammu

2473. MM looked really uncomfortable in that particular scene, I felt…N Vani I completely agree with u…Characters should behave predictably 🙂

2474. A 😀 M 😀 M 😀 U
      Remember to KEEP SMILING and you will never get tired. My friend in Melbourne keeps saying this to me and all of us here and she has sort of patented this Keep Smiling and the smiley 🙂 😀
      so remember to:
      KEEP CITY CLEAN
      KEEP CITY GREEN
      KEEP DISTANCE WHILE DRIVING
      KEEP WALKING
      KEEP SMILING
      the list goes on and on and on……like AMARON BATTERIES

2475. Namaskara snehitarige, ondhu alpa viramadha nanthara mathe blogina lokakke .. bandaithu.. i was wondering these days i didnt feel for missing the serial muktha so much than i felt for not being able to read the updates and comments, so strange alwa…

      pots ide, husharu antha heldhangaythu….!

2478. Good to see you back, Usha 🙂

      Ammu, what did you do in school camp? Nothing much happened in Muktha – the only thing interesting is what happened in the last two episodes, concerning Navudkar, and you can read that 🙂

2479. Namm maney hatra jaaga idhe bellur, cricket kooda neevu “Bhaya Muktharaagi” adabahudu…
      Pots kooda idhe, adre nam compound olage idhe, safe idhe yochne illa…

2480. Hi Usha & Ammu,

      Good to see you back. Ivattu namma ibbaru friends vaapas bandiddare, Usha and Ammu.

      I heard somewhere (not sure of authenticity) that Govt is planning to rope SRK to create awareness about Smoking, as he has quit that vice himself, recently. On the same lines, I also heard that he is not going to endorse any more colas after the pesticide issue cropped up. Celebrity aadmele each individual has some social responsibility, as any move he or she makes is going to be copied by thousands of their fans. If they are aware of the impact of their choices, naturally they would make more sensible ones.
      In our society we have a definite set of good and bad values…if they chose values that would affect society on a positive note, things would be much better than what they are today.

2481. isn’t it surprising to know that RAJKUMAR endorsed no products throughout his life except at the fag end when he appeared in an ad for NANDHINI HAALU. And he did some polio drops campaign. Wonder whether he was rejecting the ad offers or whether none of the companies approached him! mahadhashcharya!

2482. Vani,

      Do you know Pullela Gopichand, badminton player. He refused endorsing colas several years back saying it was unhealthy to consume carbonated and sugary drinks. Cola companies tried to pull him onto their net by offering unimaginable sum. Whereas, a tennis player belonging to the same city accepted those offers happily. You can guess, who it is easily.

2483. None of Annavru’s children, rather no notable names, neither Vishnuvardhan, nor Ambarish have appeared on any endorsements…I’ve seen Anu Prabhakar & Darshan on the AIDS awareness campaigns, and the most recent kannada endorsement is from Ramesh for KSRTC…surprising.

2484. Yes Vani, SRK has been definitely sensible in doing any assignments of such sort, For ex AB too studies a lot before signing such contracts,
      I remember Jockey shroff appearing for Tiger biscuits and bagpiper (or some other whiskey)ad at the same time

      Bellur, Yes Dr Raj, Vishnu, Ambi such people stay frm these advertising business , probably they would involve in social messsages than commercial.

      Keep blogging kooda serisbeku… listalli

2485. Usha,

      But, AB endorses Eveready batteries. They are manufactured by Union Carbide. Can you recollect, it was the same company responsible for Bhopal gas tragedy.

2486. Shruthi

      I had visited that viggy.com suggested by Su sometime back adrindane nange ” ekavi” link sikkidhu , Good discussions take place there too,

      but i found some junk msgs too , su is it moderated portal?

2487. Bellur, nimma bagge write up nODi santhosha aaytu. It reminded me about my habbit of cutting the “Kiriyararigi vignyana” from samyukta puravaNi(sunday supplement in prajavani) amele nammane paint maadsovaaga adella misplace aagoytu antha aLtaa idde.
      All praises are already given to you so not to repeat onde ondu complement koTTubiDteeni. nimma hairstyle super(It is reminding me some actor whom I am not able to recall) aadre naavu bheTi aadaga you looked so different. Not sure you have changed your hairstyle now or visited tirupati/dharmastala.

      GeLeyare, bellur avara RKN melina abhimaana yeMtaadu andre he has named his child as ‘Narayan’. Ultimate alva? I like Basavanna/vivekanada for their thoughts but definitely would not be so generous(I am trying to be honest to the core) to keep such old names for my kids.

2488. subbaramu,
      AB is always EVEREADY to endorse anything!

2489. Subbaramu,

      AB doesnt have any discretion…one one side he endorses Union Carbide, the other side he speaks for Polio awareness…they just worry about the fees they are going to get at the end of the day…and nowadays, after the pesiticide issue, I havent observed any cola or soft drink ads….

2490. AB does endorse every ad, but as he has mentioned numerous times, he does so out of personal obligations..He has gone on record saying that these were the people who stood by him when ABCL went bust… And now that he’s back on his feet he feels it’s his duty to agree to the price.. Kind of like the “Dharmasankata” Nanjunda’s experiencing now 🙂 Also, is it really right to ban all products of Union Carbide to penalise them for the Bhopal Gas Tragedy??? There are other ways to penalise them, right…???? And for that matter, how many of us have stopped using EVEREADY batteries??? And as far as I can recollect, AB has’nt endorsed cigarettes or alcohol…Right???

      Of late ads for colas, are hardly ever aired..I mean not as frequently as before…I maybe wrong in this, but another friend also mantioned this a few days back n it just came to mind now 🙂 And inspite of this, their consumption has remained the same, I guess…So who’s to blame for this???

2491. Some comments about MM’s scene in the yesterday’s episode –I am not sure on why people are not accepting that scene whole heartedly. ayyo shivane, MM serious manushya aadre, avanige heMDatiya bagge pranaya sallaapa maaDbaardu andre hege ? Ke.S.NA ne heMDatiyobbaLu antha heLtaare…? I beleive we should remove that preconvinced notions about branding a person to stick to his role, yella vyaktiya OLage ondodu alpa ‘romantic/strict/selfish/head stong’ ee tara ella guNagaLu iratte, so adanella opkobeku naavu. Dr Raj avaranna naavu babruvaahana naagi, daari tappida maganaagi oppikoLLOlve ? avaru yaavaglu “ODauTTidavaru/Devataa manushyane aagbeku andre?

      One more point for ‘PRO MARRIAGE’.. Not sure how many guys miss there wives like how it was showed in yesterday’s episode. ‘HeNdati tavarige horaDuveneMdare nanagillada kOpa’ can be remembered here.
      One thing is sure, All Married men are happy but nobody wants to admit it. Sanjay & bellur are the married men I know in this balaga. Hope they atleast don’t disappoint me.

      Brand ambassadors bagge generalise maaDokke kashTa. but soap Ad ge sundara huDugiyaranna torisodu yaake? Don’t men use soap for bath? aadre baTTE hogiyo soap(Tide or something) na prakash rai promote maaDidre yenartha ?
      Madhavan Vim bar promote maaDodu yaake ?

      Hope no men will endorse the sanitary napkins tommorrow 🙂

2492. Veena,

      About your comment on men not endorsing sanitary napkins…who knows what the future holds in store? We might hear someone endorsing some brand saying his wife / daughter / sister use that.

      (God Forbid that day comes!)

      Hengasre batte ogeyo-paatre toleyo kelsa maadbeku antha yenilla, alwa…what about all the bachelor folk who live outside their hometowns or in different countries? Alli maid servant anno luxury iralla, alva….so, I guess men promoting detergent soap or such items is ok, and yes, you are very right in saying that it’s unfair for only women to endorse soaps…Maybe men get so dirty they have to wash with detergents or industrial grade cleaners… ;_)
      but I’ve seen Dettol Cool Soap is endorsed by a man, also earlier Lifebuoy was endorsed entirely by men(football / hockey teams)

2493. Veena, Manmohan aagli yaare aagli, aathara photo na mathadsodu tumba silly ansatthe. Avanu henDathi na miss maaDkoLLi.. yaaru yenu anthilla! Santosha ne 🙂

      Endorsing vishaya bandaaga – I highly admire Pullella Gopichand for the reason that he refused to endorse Cola. People should be discerning in what they endorse. Diya, thanks for that bit of info on why AB endorses those ads… I did not know that.

      Btw, Veena, Shahrukh Khan did endorse Lux! And why shouldn’t men endorse washing powders and bars? Avaru adanna use maaDbarada? Use maaDode illva? 🙂

2494. HI

2495. Heyllllllllooooo 😛
      All RIGHT 😛 😛 😛 😛 !! I am SMILING hee hee 😀 !
      Well, we did all these scary thngs like climbing poles and jumping off and abseiling and an aerial obstacle course where we went on a 12 metre high flying fox and it was really scary and tiring 😛 !!

      HELLO EVERYONE. I am bored. Very bored. Very very bored. 😛 .
      Oh, well 😛
      Hehehehe 😛 😛 😀 😀 🙂 🙂 !!

      I’ll be back 😛 !
      KEEP SMILING 😛 !!

2496. Everyone, do not be alarmed at how much I am smiling 😛 😀 !!

2497.

Your profile will be scrutinised carefully and if approved you might be granted permission to join this group.

      But since you seem to be a nice girl several of those terms and conditions have been waived off, in fact all of them, so you are welcome to join rightaway

      More than you ever wanted to know about TNS is here:
      TN Seetharam and ‘Muktha’ mesmerised us and Vijay Times exclusive: A chat with TN Seetharam

2498. Ammu too late you should’ve warned me earlier… you’ve already scared me!! 😯

      Anyway since you’re so bored let me tell you the question my grandpa used to ask me when I used to say the same thing when I was a kid (not that I’ve grown up much but still…)

      “what do you really mean by ‘bored’?”

2499. Bellur,
      I remembered the person whom you resemble. He is not an actor he is a singer, Rajesh Krishnan. I became fan of his singing talent after I heard his song ‘Belli chukki baale’ of NO-1 movie.
      About the male brand ambassadors promoting the articles like Washing powder & VIM bar, hmm…May be I will put it in a different way. They are generally used by females except some exceptions like ‘Good Guys, who help their mom/wife’ or the bachelors who has no options!! so haage hELide ashTe.

      Shruthi, About MM talking to Aru’s photo, yes it looked very silly but paapa avaru en maaDtaare heLi mostly TNS avaru MM/Aru hatra iro cell phone(s) kiTkoMbiTTirbeku 🙂
      It reminds me about people keeping their spouse photographs all over their cubicles/cabins/workplace or making the PC/Mobile wallpapers set with the closeups. Not sure whether we can see this as silly/right/wrong ?? But in US I have observed lot of people who keep their family photos, articles gifted by their family members in their closed cabins. When you talk with them casually, they don’t hesitate to share details about their family members and pets. (I remember seeing a dog’s video clip of one of our US customers when I went for some business discussions- that video was taken in a dog show). Also I was quite surprised to see a marriage photo(framed) of IS manager(big guy there) in his cabin. We say US people don’t care much on the relationship & they tend to treat that casually, I personally feel this is something which we can’t generalise. May be this quote applies more to immigrants who are now settled there 🙂 🙂 Hope its not a very offensive statement. If so, apologise pls…
      eega nimma views idara mele barli… ivattu saturday so may be I will see the comments on monday.

      AMMU

2501. Ammu, hmm that’s quite an interesting answer…

      I had a lot more trouble coming with an answer to my Thatha, and whenever I did come up with something, my thatha with a mischevous smile would counter it… hmm… I can’t remember the details… (I wish I’d maintained a blog since then! Actually I used to maintain a diary – no idea where it is now 🙂 ) And we would have long conversations and go as far down the “rabbit hole” – till Ajji would get mad at us for getting late for lunch Rabbit hole refers to Alice in Wonderland, a truly wonderful story I treasure even now, if you haven’t read it yet, I’d really recommend it!

      Here is a nice online versions:
      Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – Lewis Carroll

2502. Good morning, everybody! I am on leave this entire week, so I won’t be online all the time – but will drop in from time to time to check out the comments [It is an addiction :(]…
      Have a good week!

2503. Shruthi,
      Got an Official offer from MB Y’day.

2504. Good Morning people,

      Here’s a really short gist of Friday’s episode:

      1. Nawadkar surrenders to police in CM’s house. He requests CM that he punishment be as light as possible as he wants to spend time with his daughter who is dying. This is endorsed by MP. CM minces no words in showing his displeasure at Nawadkar’s activities. Nawadkar says that he feels repentant and wants to make a clean change in life. CM consults Devanand and tells Nawadkar and his cases would be dropped on the condition that he turn informer for the police.

      2. Mridula’s problem not yet solved.She tells MM that her HOD is not agreeing for change of guide. The other professor whom she would have approached earlier is also threatened by her initial guide into not helping Mridula get the thesis. MM promises to summon the concerned HOD to the education minister and solve the issue in the minister’s office.

      3.A person by name Jagadeesh came to Mallikarjun Swamy’s residence. He reveals that he’s the assistant of Annapurnamma’s lawyer. He tells them that he was the one who got the second will signed signed by Annapurnamma, but his friend Satish Chandra (The blackmailer stalking Mahesh) and he had hidden it for so long. Now he feels repentant and has come to help Gowri. Everyone is surprised and silent.

2505. ellarigu nanna namaskara,

      everyday however hard it is i have made an habbit to visit thios blog for atleast 10 mins. i enjoy reading all ur comments on anything, i feel like joining u all in debate and have a nice chat ver busy,
      i will be having lots of work as i do admin job.and most of the time i cnat spend on pc/internet.

      about brand ads, yest. i read in paper shahrukh saying
      “If they ban pepsi in India, i will go to America to drink
      pepsi”, actually i was very much shocked to see a celebrity
      quoting these words,will really effect, bcoz they have paid him for commericals he cant talk like this, actually i liked
      his acting very much, but after this somewhat lost respect.
      even AB being a SS, matured person has to think all the aspects and agree for commericals, as it should not give wrong msg to people , even AB has acted in non healthy (society) ads.

      oh sorry jasthi kathe ayethu, but i felt i should say this,

      thanks to all of u for consoling me.
      friends i would like to communicate with each of u, so please can u mail me??? ( whoever is interested, they can only, no force to anybody)

2506. Morning friends

      so Annapurnamma’s case too is getting finalised, looks like Muktha is definitely going to end this month, as everything and everyones life falling in palce.

      In Yesterday’s E-Nota , reviews about serials was good. good reviews about Kichu.

      An interesting conversation with Sushma K Rao (Bhavana of Guptagamini) about mega serials. She was mentioning that mega serials should conclude in committed timeframe , even if it gets popular it might loose charm of the story line and also create stress on artists schedules. She also mentioned how boring it gets to audience to watch a prolonged story. She was also mentioning that an artist ( Prominent crew) in a serial should not work in more than one assignment at a time (Including herself, she had decided not to take more than one assignment further ) since she felt she cannot give justice and she cannot involve herself in the charecter if it clashes with other role.

      Even though i felt that serials get boring if prolonged, i had never given a serious thought about the artist’s side problems.

      It was informative.

2507. http://www.silverblue.co.in/PageFinal.html

      4 Play’s at Rangashankara, if anyones interested to watch.

2508. Dear all,
      certainly not a very good morning.
      The great shehnai maestro USTAD BISMILLAH KHAN IS NO MORE. He breathed his last in the wee hours this morning. The Bharatha Rathna awardee was 91.
      I remember his soulful music in Dr. Rajkumar’s film “Sanaadi Appanna”. Yeshtu adbhutavaagi nudisidaare.
      It seems he used to play everyday at the Kashi Vishwanatha temple in Benares every morning since ages.
      Despite his fame, Khan’s lifestyle retained its old world charm and he continued to use the cycle rickshaw as his chief mode of transport till his death.
      Music world has lost a noble soul indeed. RIP, Bismillah ji.

2509. 🙁 🙁 :(, Sad news … He was ailing from some time now.

      May his soul rest in peace. Noble man indeed and a great musician.

      Yes i remember quoting many times that he cannot depart from Ganga and banares.

2510. A tribute to the gentle genius, Ustad Bismillah Khan @ Rambling with Bellur:

      http://bellurramki18.wordpress.com/2006/08/21/ustad-bismillah-khan-was-a-gentle-genius/

      Some of Ustadji’s collections

2512. Hello Sanjay,
      I have identified all artistes of Muktha except the latest-MRIDULA.She acted well in Yava Janmada–too.Can anyone help?

2513. You can hear to some more of Ustadji’s collections here:

      http://www.musicindiaonline.com/l/5/m/artist.280/

2514. Ooho… Ho

      Indu yaru illave.. mithra bandhavaru… ascharya.. paramascharya

2515. usha,
      shokacharane!

2516. A few days back, I was talking to my father about Bismillah Khan, watching Sanadi Appanna’s song on U2, and was amazed to know that Rajkumar was his student for 1 month to learn the instrument!
      I’ve been honored to listen to some of his great numbers thru AIR and DD. Wanted to personally attend one of the concerts, which was not to be.
      I guess, Ustad’s last wish of performing at India Gate was left un-fulfilled, and many people like me left heart-broken at not being able to listen to him play live.

      Hope his soul rests in peace.

2517. Oh no.. Bismillah Khan passed away??? One of my favourite musicians…. 🙁

2518. A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SRIK!! 🙂
      WISHING HIM THE VERY BEST IN LIFE!

2519. Srik,

      Belated huttida habbada hardika shubhashayagalu.

2520. Srik,

      Belated happy birthday to you. Wish you all success and happiness.

2521. Muktha Update

      21.08.06

      1.Continuation of Friday’s episode. Jagadish tells Gowri & family that he had been working for Annapurnamma’s lawyer only for the past 3 months. He had been entrusted with the task of getting her signature on the new will. The night before she died, he and his friend Satish Chandra took the will to her for signature. She signed it and asked them to get it registered; the next morning they heard that she passed away and they did not get it registered. Satish decided to make money out of this by blackmailing Mahesh into paying them Rs 1 Lakh per month. He used to give Jagadish 20,000 from that money. Jagadish tells them about his poverty, ageing mother and younger sister who is to be married. He says it was difficult for him to earn Rs 3000 earlier, all of a sudden, 20,000 seemed a huge amount without hard work, and so he felt tempted. He says his mother did not approve of this and threatened that she would herself come to Gowri and handover the papers. He felt that it was his duty to tell them the truth, and so he came over himself.

      2.Jagadish hands over the papers to Gowri and tells her that she’s been willed 25% of Annapurnamma’s property. Thaatha asks how much that is, Jagadish replies around 35 – 40 Crores. Thaatha is happy. Purushottam teases thaatha and he replies that he’s happy because God is somehow making good all the loss in Gowri’s life this way. Jagadish tells them that there might be a problem in them claiming the property because the will is not registered and he is not very sure of the legalities involved in this. Purushottam suggests that they visit CSP, and that Jagadish accompany them. Jagadish says he’s scared of facing CSP. After Gowri assures him that no harm will come to him, he agrees to join them.

      3.Sharavathi invites Gayathri for Mangala Gowri puja. Nanjunda observes this from inside the room and has a worried look on his face. Sharavathi offers Gayathri flowers and offers her a glass of milk. As Gayathri sips the milk, Sharavathi milks information from Gayathri. Gayathri is reluctant to tell her anything, but Sharavathi coaxes her and gets to know that Jagadish visited them regarding the new will. She feels it serves Mahesh right for cheating them. She says they weren’t aware that Gowri would lose her job if Srikantha handed over the CD to Mahesh; because of him they got a bad name in the family. Nanjunda calls Gayathri and she leaves. Nanjunda takes Gayathri outside the house and warns her not to tell anyone anything about the will. Gayathri looks uncomfortable, but regains her composure soon enough and defends herself. We see Sharavathi eavesdropping on the conversation between Nanjunda and Gayathri from a window by the side.

2522. srikanth, huttu habbada haardhika shubhashayagalu.

      but how did you all come to know?

2523. Shruti, tooooo much. 😀
      Folks, it was my b’day yesterday and our professor found it our from orkut. She mite’ve co-incidentally found my profile on orkut on my birthday…!!

2529. Recd. this SMS from Veena:

      Sardar meets Vishnuvardhan and asks who he is. Vishnu says, “Simma. Saahasa simma.” Sardar asks,” Pre-paid sim-aa, post paid sim-aa?”

2530. Yesterday’s vijaya karnataka carried an edit by Sudheendra(DRDO) on the blogs. In that he mentions that it all started with web-logs, some ppl adding their diary pieces to the logs, to be able to access it from everywhere… and some guy made it we-blog and thus the word ‘BLOG’ was coined. Kannada synonym for a browser(a person who browses) is ‘Jaaliga’ and web is ‘jaala’. So many other terms were coined there… but he has not coined any name to a blogger… so Usha’s namakarana can be considered as a potential contender for it. 🙂

2531. Usha, it means you celebrated b’day last month. Wish you a belated happy b’day 🙂

2532. last month alla , ee month 12th

2566. Crossword puzzles are said to be the most popular and widespread word game in the world, yet have a short history. The first crosswords appeared in England during the 19th century. They were of an elementary kind, apparently derived from the word square, a group of words arranged so the letters read alike vertically and horizontally, and printed in children’s puzzle books and various periodicals. In the United States, however, the puzzle developed into a serious adult pastime.

      The first known published crossword puzzle was created by a journalist named Arthur Wynne from Liverpool, and he is usually credited as the inventor of the popular word game.

2567. Hats off to your “intution” Vani 🙂

2568. Diya

      You siad it ,
      Nanu agle post madbitte, i thought that was was the best thing to do !!! we can continue it for tomm no issues atall 🙂

2570. Actually nanu crossword puzzles nalli novice,
      i used to always krib looking at people easily completing cryptic clues of Hindu etc, as far as i hav seen Deccan herald’s crossords are easier compared to Times and Hindu…

      Diya good to know that you love crosswords,

2571. i love the cute crosswords in THATT ANTHA HELI.just 3 clues….aadru bahala thale thinnatte!
      ultimate is THE HINDU crosswords!

2572. Yes Usha…That’s true..The Hindu has the best crosswords of the three..Express is also not bad…Especially their Sunday supplements carry some real brain teasers…

2578. i also like the film crosswords in prajavani and roopataara. also the one in sudha is good.

2579. usha,
      both are correct.

      an uncle of mine is a crossword addict, so much so that he used to sit in the bus doing the crosswords and missed getting down at the designated stop.

      Well, birthday boys/girls/ladies/ my wishes to all of you. I always wondered how these zodiac signs are derived, are they basically from the month & dates you are born. Do they match up with your kannada ones ? I mean the nakshatra raashi ? andre, for eg., August borns ella LEO aadre, avaradu kannaDa du simha raashi aagatta ? I think these rashi’s in kannada will be derived by the nakshatra. For eg., I am a sagittarian by english DOB but my nakshatra is ‘Makha’ and hence my raashi is ‘Simha’. I always look for Sagittarius when I read through astrolgical updates on newspapers. pls comment.
      nammejamaanru Aug 20th. On this occasion, ‘Neenello naanalle’ movie nODidvi, its pretty decent movie. Olle kathe, manoranjane, ella ide. Interstingly near the sagar theatre(where we watched the movie), we happened to see a temple which is called ‘Navagraha vriksha temple’ where all these grahas are associated with some trees which are present/offered poojas in this temple. For eg., Surya is ‘Ekkada GiDa’ shani is ‘banni mara’ like that. I have written down all the 9 for my knowledge purpose. Its pretty intersting because I knew there is a GEM related to each planet but tree relationship was a new thing for me.

      Also I read that now students have to remember 3 more planets along with the existing 9. So what will happen to our Zodiacs & Grahas ? Most imp, Navagraha temples ? Will all these temples need to get renovated ? Or these planets are just treated as planets & not considered as GODS ?

      About BLOG, Bellur told me the word might have coined by WEB-LOG (Logging on web) & thats house BLOG got invented. However BALAGA is a nice synonym though.

      I had written a long post past weekend, that was quite an interesting topic. I don’t insist you to respond on that but is worth a read. Now onwards, I will not post any topic past weekend, it just gets missed your review 🙂

2590. There is a Kannada book titled SULUHU HOLAHUGALU published by Sri Aurobindo Aashram. So the word exists.

2591. veena,
      wrt to the zodiac and nakshatras…..found this explanation:
      __________________________________________________________

      There are two basic schools of astrology—Western astrology and Vedic astrology and these use different zodiacs. Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac and Vedic (Indian) astrology uses the sidereal zodiac. The differences between the tropical zodiac and the sidereal zodiac are due to precession. The source data used by the two schools is not the same and makes their results vastly different.

      Vedic (Hindu) astrology is more scientific and uses the sidereal zodiac that loosely matches modern real world sky charts. This astrology at least knows where the stars and planets are located and places some value on modern astronomy charts.

      Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac charts that are somewhere between 2000 and 5000 years old. It is not based on planets passing through actual celestial constellations, but passing through imaginary houses named for constellations. Western astrology charts are wrong and do not match the real sky. The positions of the sun, moon and planets have moved during the past 2300 years.

      The “ayanamsa” is the distance or the difference between the imaginary Zodiac of the Western astrologers and the true Zodiac of the updated Vedic astrology. The ayanamsa continues to grow at a rate of 50.26 seconds per year. After thousands of years this amounts to about 23 degrees!

      This is no trivial matter. A Virgo in western astrology is a Leo in Vedic astrology.

      In western tropical astrology, the zodiacal year begins at the point where the plane of the ecliptic intersects with the earth’s equatorial plane at the vernal equinox. This is when the Sun moves into the northern hemisphere of the earth’s equatorial plane. Thus the Sun always enters the astrological zodiacal sign of Aries at the vernal equinox about March 20, but it will not cross into the astronomical constellation of the same name until nearly a month later. So in western tropical astrology, although the signs derive their names from the constellations, they are not the same thing.

      Both astrology systems are otherwise the same. They divided the belt into 12 equal parts called houses of 30°. Each house is named for constellation. These are the Signs of the Zodiac.

      The out of date tropical zodiac will coincide with the correct sidereal zodiac in about 25,800 years.

2597. Muktha Update

      22.08.06

      1.Gowri, Purushottam and the Jr Lawyer (JL) go to meet CSP. He asks them if the weddings went well. he asks them if Swamiji attended the wedding. They reply that he didnt, and CSP says he dint have the courage to face Gowri.He says he did not attend the wedding because he would have scolded the Swamiji on his face. He says it was wrong on Swamiji’s part to have promised to marry Gowri and then ditch her at the last minute. Gowri starts crying and Purushottam tells CSP to drop the topic. CSP is angry and tells him that he will not feel anything because he is married and his life is settled. It is Gowri who has to lead a lonely and difficult life. He says he got to know that she was unhappy during the wedding. Gowri tries to say that she must not have crossed social barriers and desired something beyond her reach. CSP tells her that if she has crossed social barriers, so has the Swamiji. She has to stop blaming herself. He then reads out a poem to her and consoles her, and advises her to get on with life.

      2.CSP asks them about their visit. They inform him all about the will, and CSP says God is a strange character, on one side he goes on giving troubles and on the other, he gives such rewards. He reads the first page of the will and asks the exact date of death of Annapurnamma. After hearing that the will was brought to them only then, he asks why they did not bring it earlier. Then JL tells about himself. Purushottam and Gowri tell him about JL and the circumstances he faced before bringing them the will. They tell CSP that he is repentant. CSP says it is not repentance, it is fear, because MP is now their relative, MM is Aru’s husband and CM is very close to their family. JL keeps his head low. CSP tells them that should they wish so, JL and his friend can go behind bars for the next 10 years. Gowri and Purushottam tell CSP that they have pardoned him. CSP assures that on their insistence, he won’t take action and tells them to give him some money after the execution of the will. He then reads the will and tells Gowri that she has struck Gold. The will says that Annapurnamma is changing her will because she suspects that her grandchild will not be safe in the custody of her daughter and son-in-law. She wills 60% of her property to Chinmayee, 25% to Gowri who has shown unconditional love and affection towards Annapurnamma and Chinmayee, 10% to Madhuvanthi and 5% to her Car Driver. In case Chinmayee dies a natural or unnatural death before she attains majority, the entire property will be willed to Gowri. Swamiji is in charge of executing the will. CSP laughs and tells Gowri that she has struck gold.

      3.Gowri tells CSP that she has not seen so much money in her life other than her husband’s insurance money. She feels she is not worthy of this, as she is no way related to Annapurnamma or Chinmayee, she is doubtful of accepting such a responsibility. She asks CSP if she can will it back to Chinmayee. CSP says of course she can, it will automatically go to the hands of Chinmayee’s natural guardians, Madhu and Mahesh. He says he has information that they tried to finish her off. He says worth does not come by blood. It comes by deed. He says in order to protect Chinmayee, Gowri must accept the will. Gowri agrees and CSP tells them to give a copy of this will to Swamiji and ask him to execute it as per Annapurnamma’s wishes. Gowri and Purushottam ask what if Madhu and Mahesh refuse to co-operate. CSP tells them that he’s there only for that. He then tells them that they have all become VIPS. 3 years ago when he saw them they were under so much of trouble…today each one of them has found success in some way or the other. Nanjunda with floriculture, Purushottam because of Shiva Prakash, Aru marrying MM and now Gowri getting the property. He asks them to be simple as before, and says he is scared of speaking to them. Gowri is emotional and tells him that he is responsible for their success, and he has a right to ask them anything he wants. She asks him if he needs any money, telling him that she is like is daughter and he can demand anything. CSP is touched and pats her head and says no putta, I was only joking. If I want anything, I will take it from you.

2598. Hey Bellur,

      Have you observed that snap on your blog? (Dr Raj with Ustaad Bismillah Khan) Jayaprada na nodida takshana I felt she looked very familiar..you know to whom?…to our Malavika. There’s a striking resemblance in that photograph.

2599. Friends

      Somehow after yesterday’s episode i flet each charecter in Muktha serial may be losing interest and getting less involved in acting. Mismatch of lip movement and voice was seen, facial expressions have become dull and the dialogue weightage too has reduced. Do you all feel the same?

      Best lines were about Swamiji… by CSP. But adhe swamiji alwa CSP ge support madidhu , when he wanted to live in ashram in exile?

      Gowri Yogyathe bagge matadovaga, Ganigarike samasye bagge mathadidru CSP, tumba sandarbhochithavagithu vishaya.

      Now that Will execution is going on smoothly, i guess most important things have fell in place, i guess madhuvanthi might confess about her mother’s unnatural death out of fear and mahesh will be jailed.

      Ee balagadalli, different topics mathadodhu khushi koduthe, infact i started browsing more seriously for information after i became a active participant here 🙂 thx to Sanjay and Bellur who give us food for thought.

      Today i came across this information about invention of pen , which is an unique useful instrument to express your feelings, as they say Pen is mightier than sword,

      History of pens

      The earliest true pens were carved from split reeds and are known from ca. 3000 BC. The English word is derived from penna, which is Latin for “feather”. This is because early pens were made from goose feathers by carving the feather with a knife. Around the 6th century BC and for more than a thousand years thereafter, the quill reigned as the standard writing instrument for people of many civilizations. Swans, turkeys, and geese’s large wing feather made the best quill pens. Archaeologists discovered bronze pen points embedded in the ruins of Pompeii but not until the late 1700s were stell-point pens used. A century later, fountain pens were developed – the name chosen because the ink of these pens flowed continuously, like water in a fountain. L.E. Waterman, a New York stationer, devised the practical ink reservoir system. Lazlo Biro relied on improved methods for grinding ball bearings for machines and weapons and produced the first ball-point pens suitable for writing on paper around 1944. The Pentel, introduced by Tokyo’s Stationery Company, was the world’s first felt-tip pen, c 1960.

2604. Usha, naanu kooda Dinakkondu Kathe oduttha idde… but only difference is that Dinakke hatthu kathe odo haage agtha itthu… they were so good!

      Vani, thanks a lot for the update…. nenne Muktha noDokke aaglilla.. only when you read the update without having watched the serial, do you realize how good your updates are. Thanks a ton! 🙂

      Usha, my sister is also leaving this weekend to do her MS in US. Adakke naanu leave haaki ammana maneli irodu.

2605. So today’s topic seems to be the Zodiac 🙂 Apart from the navagrahas having to be redesignayed and renamed and all, did u guys know that Pluto is no longer going to be considered as a planet??? And most scientists are worried about how drastically this is going to change our view about the universe as we know it today…Can u imagine having to revise all science texts??? If this is finally accepted by the brains of the scientific community, I wonder when Indian kids are gonna learn about it???? 🙂

      And Reader’s Digest is by far a favourite magazine of mine, too 🙂 I specially like “Everyday Heroes” apart from the word power challenges, of course…

      And for all of u who wanna know which daily horoscope to take as more accurate – Western or Vedic – has anyone tried reading the horoscopes according to their moon signs??? I mean, my sun sign (Western) is Taurus, whereaa my moon sign(Vedic) is Sagittarius…I read the predictions for a Saggi n find it more accurate ( 🙂 ) than for the Taurus 🙂 TRy it out !!! 🙂

2606. divya,
      saggi and taurus are both god fearing, fun types. they are very caring, love to travel and very religious, love arts, love good food and love listening to stories….maybe both have somethings in common! this is from what i have seen in the people of these 2 signs.
      usha,
      pen baage olle maahithi.
      When NASA first started sending astronauts into space, they realised that the ballpoint pen would not work at zero gravity. A million dollar investment and two years of tests resulted in a pen that could write in space, upside down, on almost any surface and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 degrees.
      When confronted with the same problem, the Russians used a pencil!
      What ??? Is this true?
      No. It isn’t. It’s an Urban Legend.
      In fact the Russians used Fisher Space Pens on all their manned space flights – but the Russian Space Pen makes the ideal gift for someone who believes in Urban Legends and delights in repeating this story.

2607. Sanjay: Did you hear the joke about the pencil?
      Bellur: No.
      Sanjay: Well, it’s pointless.

2608. Hindustan Pencils is the largest pencil manufacturing company in India. Apsara and nataraj pencils are their popular brands.
      I remember the days when the PEN-PENCIL was the in thing for a kid to write with (mid ’80s kathe). After much pestering, my father made me walk till Yeshwanthpur as he had his friend’s stationery shop there and asked the owner, “Yeno Pen-Pencil-anthe, kodappa”. i felt like a KING after holding one in my hand. And my fav. pastime was removing the lead from the pen-pencil and putting them back…..and using the sharpner fitted behind the pen pencil!

2609. I’m lost :S

      So much randomness 🙂

      Keep Smiling 😛

      Ammu 🙂

2610. Pencil trivia
      A pencil can write 45,000 words!
      The typical pencil can draw a line 35 miles long!
      A pencil will write in zero gravity, upside down, and under water!
      LEFT-HANDED PENCILS – do they exist?
      The question is not really “Do they exist?” but rather “Are they deliberately made as ‘left-handed’ pencils?” The only difference between a left-handed pencil and a right-handed pencil is the orientation of the printing. On a right-handed pencil (standard) the imprint reads from the point to the eraser end of the pencil. And in a left-handed one, it’s vice-versa.”

2611. I remember Pen-Pencil too…There was a shop called Janatha Stores near my school…I think the shop keeper made his fortune selling all the kids pen-pencil. And Scent Rubbers….they used to leave horrible black marks on the paper, but were still used because they were scented.

      Shruthi: Thanks. Last night, actually, in the last scene where Gowri and CSP are both emotional, it was quite touching. My eyes were brimming with tears…I really like the way both Gowri and CSP behaved.

2612. Oh the good ol days 🙁 Well pen-pencils are still my favoured instruments of writing.. 🙂 And barring them the good ol ink-pens 🙂 How we were penalized in school for not using ink-pens 🙂 Those were the days when we were fascinated by the ball point pens u see 🙂 🙂

      And Bellur, Taureans and Sagittarians are polar opposites – Atleast according to Linda Goodman 🙂 Taureans are loyal, Sagi’s are flirts; T – Practical, S – Romantic………The list goes on n on 🙂 Ask the moon signs of the people u’ve come across for both their sun n moon signs and then decide 🙂

2613. I’ve noticed that predictions and character traits that suit me are more of my sun-sign than my moon-sign. Some traits I’ve read for both the types of zodiac signs (mine)match. I dont know how.

      Sun Sign – Cancer

      Moon Sign – Taurus

2614. Diya,
      I wrote on some personal experiences….coz my wife is a saggi and my sis is a taurean. and their tastes match quite a bit. 🙂
      Bellur GOOD-MAN still feels they are quite compatible! 😉

2615. OK Bellur 😉 Have u heard of “Opposites attract”, by any chance???? 😉

2616. This zodiac Sign match from linda goodman used to be one of the favourites for college girls, my classmates, that too during valentines day etc.

      I have always read about zodiac sign or that week’s forecast of my family members just to chk out of curiosity whats in the future, i dont remember if anything worked so perfectly at all, astrology was very much not my interest though 🙂

      I m learning a lot here abt it now 🙂

2617. Usha, I feel astrology if practiced as a science, does really work…And Linda Goodman still remains a perennial favourite… A friend of mine read the characteristics of her fiancee before giving the final yes…Crazy, huh??

2618. Yes Diya

      I hav heard and seen of people who beleive and follow astrology and astrologers, somehow these still have remained a big mystery for me, i agree with you that its a science form.

      Abt your friend finalising her life partner on sun signs match is little funny, becoz i always felt life partner’s hobbies and interests should match for a peaceful life 😉

2619. In view of the addition n deletion of planets which are slated for the near future, does it then follow that Vedic astrology will also have to be re-written??? 😉

2620. I recall an incident narrated by Khushwant Singh in an article. When he was editor of The Illustrated Weekly of India, it had an astrology column by P.I.H. Naylor. Those were the days when there was total dependence on the post. When a postal strike in London halted the flow of Naylor’s copy, Khushwant Singh said he took an old issue of The Weekly and reproduced what was published there. Nobody, he says, noticed the difference!

2621. Interesting discussion! I personally don’t believe in the zodiac signs and Jatakas…. but it’s fun to read 😀

2622. Many times I have observed, specially with the predictions in newspapers, usually the exact opposite of what’s predicted occurs. And on a personal note, my horoscope has been scrutinzed by atleast 20 astrologers in and outside Bangalore, but so far, no one has been able to say anything accurately on when I would get married…I always hear this dialog…if the horoscope is shown to anyone in March, he says September you will definitely get married, and if it is shown in September, the answer is the next March.

      I feel that this is a ridiculous excercise, but have had a tough time convincing my mom not to believe this.

2623. Diya, I read somewhere that astrologers have confirmed that the addition of planets will not change anything 🙂 Actually even now, the Navagrahas consist of Surya and Chandra, which are not planets… so that means it takes only 7 planets into consideration — or probably only 5.. because 2 others are Rahu and ketu.. which I dont think represent planets.
      If I am wrong, please correct me…. I am very ignorant in these matters — this info is just gathered from Navagraha KeerthanegaLu in classical music ;D

2624. Vani, moms can never be convinced to our satisfaction on this one issue 🙁 And most astrologers simply make predictions based on simple pschycology and observations..To prove my point to a friend, I went with her to the same astrologer at 2 different times..The first time I was all smiles 😀 The next I was frowning…And both times I asked about education…Guess what??? The first time I was told that I have a very bright future in store n all..N I din’t say anything 😉 The next time, I went on questioning about specifics n was told that my future looks bleak n that I would have to work real hard n all that 😀

2625. An astrologer went in front of D.R.Bendre’s house one morning. Bendre was gardening in the compound. The astrologer asked him if he was interested in knowing the future. Bendre replied, “Can you tell me about the future accurately?” for which the fellow answered, “Yes”. But Bendre asked, “You cannot even forecast who will ask about their future from you. What will you say about my future? Go away this moment.”

2626. That’s true Shruthi..But astrology is based mainly on the significance of heavenly bodies on humans, as believed from time immemorial…So Surya and Chandra are present..And also not all existing planets are considered in Vedic astrology, even now…We don’t even see a mention of our very own earth for that matter 😉

2627. Diya,
      Really interesting to know about that incident. You must have told that fellow, “Your future also looks bleak andyou too have to work real hard! 😉

2628. Diya, you seem to be an authority on this subject. Swalpa nanna jaathaka nodtheera?

2629. Diya,

      May I take an appointment with you for astrological consultation? 🙂

2630. Oh no Bellur, the outcome of a comment on the same lines did not go down very well with and I din’t even get back the money I paid 🙁 All to prove a point 🙁 I thought I would at least get a lilbit of my money bac, but no such luck 🙁 But my friend bought me chocolates for a whole month after that, so can’t really complain 😉

2631. Vani n Bellur, jataka beda, handwriting samples kalsi 😉 That’s more of my forte, even if I do say so myself 😉 Astrology bari nanna hobby ashte…Namma rishi munigalu hege ashtu scientific aagi devise madidru antha tilidukolluva kutoohaladinda shuru aaytu ee abhyasa…Aadre innu jataka oduvashtu kaletilla 🙂 Well, I’ll be leaving now, so will catch up with u all 2moro 🙂 Bye for now 😀

2632. thanks diya for those comments. khanditha will send a sample.

      vani, nodidra, apart from food-experts, there are handwriting experts also in this FORUM MALL! 🙂

      PS: Forum = group
      Mall = Malleswaram navaru jaathi idaare….hence.

2633. One of the astrologers I met said, “What do u do when u come across a sign ‘Accident Zone’? Would you just look at it and be cautious and carry on or would you stop driving thinking there is going to be accident? Astrological predictions are also on the same lines. One will be cautioned about the happening, but that doesn’t mean it must always happen”!!

      One more thing.. Even before Pluto was discovered, even before Neptune came into being, we had Navagrahas…long back, even before the western scientists were divided on helio-centric and geo-centric systems, indians had recognised the movement of eight grahas around Sun, the major graha. Earth was not considered since the effect of other 9 grahas was studied on earth. So, basically vedic astrological system is all about the movement of 9 planets and their effect on earth at a given time. This is calculated based on the star positions at that time as well. Following extract proves it:

      ———————————————————————————————————-
      The earliest traces of a counter-intuitive idea that it is the Earth that is actually moving and the Sun that is at the centre of the solar system (hence the concept of heliocentrism) is found in several Vedic Sanskrit texts written in ancient India. Yajnavalkya (c. 9th–8th century BC) recognized that the Earth is spherical and believed that the Sun was “the centre of the spheres” as described in the Vedas at the time.
      ————————————————————————————————————-

      You can also find Sun in the centre of the planetory system in our temples 😀

      So, addition of more planets or removal of Pluto from solar systemwont have any effect on the existing Navagraha temples… No one need be worried on that 😉 ‘coz the system itself is different and rational. I’m not sure on how the worshipping of these planets came into being, though.

      So, you can find the system to be more accurate, but again its also a cautious signal, not more than that.

2634. WRONG Bellur, this is not FOUM-MALL, its FORUM-ALL!! 😀
      MALL is a past tense for many of our Balagadavaru. Bekidre avarne keLi 😉

2635. Hi,

      Don’t know when Seetharam puts “SHUBHAM” to his serial. I was hoping to see this title when Arundati got married. But our director is becoming very greedy. It was amazing to hear Vaishaki Kasaravalli commented about the serial during her interview that Muktha is like all other bubblegum serials. Yes, it is ! Seetharam is so keen to place Gouri, Arundati, and Nanjunda in very high places. All they do in the serial is drinking coffee, clapping when somebody talks something, or literally crying for everything. They talk always that they are poor and their dealings will always be in lacs and crores. Seetharam must have gone crazy. Let him put an end to this serial at the earliest. Now another court scene for Gouri’s sake and it is a delight to see the same old audiences sporting a typical look and with the same dresses as long as the proceedings take place. Wonderful !!

2636. srik,

2639. Hello,

      Please yaaraadru update maadthira ? I am neck-deep in work…

2640. Dear Varsharuthu,

      I am replying on behalf of everyone who’s an active member of this forum.

      1. Muktha is just a serial. And the director has the authority to make his characters rich or poor as he pleases. As regards to what they do or do not do, they act according to what the situation demands.

      2. Seetharam is not extending the serial because of his greed. He has a contract with the channel and they are repeatedly asking him not to end it. He has mentioned this in several interviews too.

      3. As far as I know, this is a democratic country and I hope that you are not being forced to endure this serial. There are several other channels showing several other meaningless, cheap and crude natured serials which you can switch over to, if you so wish.

      This is a discussion fourm where we air our views on the serial and society in general. If you wish to participate in meaningful discussion, you are most welcome.

2641. Shruthi..Rahu n Ketu are Uranus n Neptune…(not sure which is which exactly) 😉 Guess our Rishis were super smart even then, they din’t consider Pluto 🙂 N Bellur, I’m not an expert 🙂 A novice 😀 thats it…N Vani, I’m devastated :'( I don’t watch regularly, as I get concise updates from u 🙁 Hope someone updates y’day’s episode soon… N Srik, MALL may not have Sampige n Margosa any more, but their fragrances will forever linger there…Like guiding spirits 🙂

2642. People,
      some one has asked me to prepare an essay on the foll. topic. Can anyone help me in compiling it, please?? They say, the essay should be ready by tonight..

      Thanks all in advance.

      TOPIC : “Role of Information Technology in the development of India“

2643. Diya,

      Will try to do it by afternoon or latest by teatime. Hopefully I should be a bit free by then.

      Srik, Namge yenu fees kodtheera?

2644. Vani,
      I have a nice topic to debate, which I’ll post tomorrow as ur fees 😉

2645. Dear vani,
      I am one of the silent readers ( dont know how many more are there) but your replay to varsharuthu was sounding quite harsh… even that person has democracy to sound out his/her views and your replay shows the entire post was not meaningfull…

      cheers
      srimathi

2646. Srik, nice topic…Where can I contribute my views??? N I won’t even ask for fees 😉

2647. Diya and all,
      U can post it here or send it to me srik_luv at yahoo dot com or you can post it as a comment on my blog at http://www.srikslib.blogspot.com/ under the new topic which I’m posting now..

      shrimathi,
      formal welcome to this blog(on behalf of sanjay and all of us). democracy yella ok. eega varsharuthu bandhu illi thamma dhuhkha helkondru. adhu sari. eega avaranna yaarappa balvantha maadidru nodakke? anyone at a first glance can make out this forum has a majority of muktha fans antha. illi bandhu MUKTHA naa baidre, yenu upayoga? bere bere sitenalli kannada english hindi tamilu, telugu serialgala baage discuss maadthare. navenu allige hogi aa serial DABBA, Muktha ne chanagide antha DEMOCRATIC RIGHT chalayisthivaa?

Right idyo, avrige naavu uttara bariyakku right ide….if a person who has written 1 COMMENT has dem.right, a person who has written more than 250 comments, that too who has done hundreds of updates for the benefit of this forum has every right to give a reply. nive helidralla, Democracy antha….adhikke, even i am using my freedom of expression. 🙂 😉

2649. also, that list tells which is the corresponding graha for the planet.

2650. Dear Bellur,

      thanks for the solace but,
      1. It looks that only Pro muktha statements should be issued here – please correct me as I SHOULD BE WRONG 🙂

      2. I have read more than 250 written by vani and others saying the same things including the drag of serial etc…

      3. Most probably varsharuthu did not know the truths vani has brought forward…only point is lets not be harsh like other discussion boards where people sometimes even abuse ..

      Hoping muktha ends but the blog goes on…

      sorry for disturbing you all otherwise,
      cheers,
      srimathi

2651. shrimathi,
      disturb yella yenu illa ri. always welcome to comment. but criticise madokke munche it is better to know some facts alwa? see, we met TNS the other day and he said the initial contract with ETV-Kan was to finish the serial in ONE YEAR, yes ONE YEAR and now if the channel forces him to continue the serial just bcoz it has good TRP, what can the director do? he was forced to extend it for another TWO YEARS. and despite this extension, the TRP is still good. he has managed to keep the interest of the audience till today, forget some odd days. he has brought to light so many issues….for example, take this latest one: Till y’day, did you know, what goes on behind the scenes in a university when some student writes a thesis and how some guides behave? and when the CM told the HOD(head of the dept), that if he did not approve the thesis, he may OVERLOOK him and get the approval from his higher ups, which would be an insult to the HOD. TNS brings out such intricate and delicate issues. Isn’t it good to know all these? see ths positives he has given us. No one is perfect. And moreover u watch a serial for entertainment. alwa?
      harsh-geersh yenilla ri. after reading our comments, i am sure VARSHARUTHU will be transformed into HARSHARUTHU
      (Nodi, aagle nagtha idare avru ee comment odhi)

2652. Bellur,
      you should try your hand at poetry… i already know about your rajkumar deeds 🙂

      The line “we watch serials for enjoyment” clinches the feelings…

      BTW… there is something good about vidyarthi bhavan on banglore metro blog… you should check that out since you have activated the FORUM MALL(ESHWARAM) module.

      Cheers
      srimathi

2653. Thanks Bellur…

      Srimathi, all of us here are open to constructive criticism. Mathe I was just stating facts. As you say, maybe our Varsha / Harsha ruthu is not aware of them and so I enlightened him / her.

      One thing is that this is the first time someone has taken the trouble of making a forum specially for a kannada serial
      when nowadays many people consider it below their dignity to voice their support / speak kannada.

      Secondly, how many serials are on TV these days that bring out awareness about the problems previaling in our country at present?

      Naxalism bagge yaaru dhairyavaagi maathadiddare?
      Sexual hrrasment bagge yaaru maathaddidaare? Politics bagge ashtu transparent view yaaru tosiddare? Globalisation na innondu mukha yaaru tosiddare ? Saalada horeyinda raitharu aatmahatye maadkonddidu yaava serial nalli torsiddare?

      We have to appreciate TNS boldness in bringing these issues into the forefront rather than be judgemental and say he’s greedy.

      Bidi, aa vishaya (like CSP). Anyway, hope from now on you will also be active and take part in our discussions.

2654. shrimathi,
      another member of this blog, veena, keeps telling…..hangu-hingu hogi DOSE ge baratte topiccu antha. 🙂 😀
      long back, when i used to eat in Janatha, CTR, VB, UKB and other hotels, chutney-patrenalli ondhu mulg-haakona antha ondhu hebbayake ittu. eeglu when i go to a hotel, i want one water filter next to me filled with chutney. dose thintha haage juyyyyyy antha nallili chutney bartha irbeku.
      Just like how ISKCON has this Akshaya patre scheme, i am interested in Chutney patre scheme… unlimited chutney for everyone! 😉

2655. 🙂 🙂
      Even am looking out for a akashya pathre of that sorts…
      IF DOSE is my oosiru THEN
      Chutney is my body.. bellur vuvacha

      Why dont we have a contest where each person gives his/her story of how muktha will end and the closest winner gets a treat at vidhyarthi bhavan including a meeting at bugle rock?

      Does that rock?

      cheers
      srimathi

2656. Srimathi, Oho,

      Andre neevu Basavangudi awara?

2657. I grew up in basavangudi ( remeber dwaraka bhavan?? another hotel on the famous basavangudi) but stay further down south at padhmanabhanagar

      Wow, my maths is zooming at high speed 🙂
      Cheers
      srimathi

2658. shrimathi,
      fyi, our first meet was at bugle rock. and i think if we all go to VB, we may get to eat in batches….coz it is quite conjested….yeradu-mooru batches nammade aggatteno!kamath bugle rock, i felt was good. ikkattaagalla navella hodre.
      btw, dwarka hotel may open in NR colony soon. he has put a banner there.

2659. I AM BORN TO BE THE CM OF KARNATAKA says Malavika, the Madhavi Patel of Muktha in an interview in today’s Bangalore Vijay Times.

2660. Bellur,

      Dwaraka hotel will be opened on Ganesha chaturthi. I wonder, he will be bringing all his boards again.

      He has also put up a board in front of his house:

      “Visitors please excuse between 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM.”

2661. howdha subbaramu? very good. he was doing too well to close down. if the owner of the place had not put a case, he would not have left. the case went on for a long time before dwarka closed. olle hotlu.
      shrimathi,
      u told abt VB and bang met blog. channagide.
      btw, u can read abt CTR in my blog when u are hungry! 😉
      http://bellurramki18.wordpress.com/2006/06/16/delectable-dosas-2/
      one reader read this post, went imm. to CTR, had dose and came and commented that he had been to the hotel! devara bagge helthivalla “avnicche idre ne darshana sigodu” antha, same way, “avnicche idre ne CTR-dose sigodu!” 😉

2662. We used to live in the rented out house just next to dwarka hotel. Our landlord lady ( ajji) was quite egoistic and one day one of the tenents of dwarka hotel ( 1st floor had boarding rooms where karim khan stayed) threw some water by mistake and ajji took the hotel to court.

      True to rane ishtyle ajji brought a “hired” sakshi. The judge asked the trembling shakshi what his problem was and why dwarka has to be close down.. The sakshi ( he was the worker of ajjis farm in periya patna) mumbled that dosa vasne was irritating him. The judge in true nagabushan gowda style asked where do you live?

      The saksh said “periyapatna”

      The case was closed and ajji warned. This actually took place some 30+ years before.

      I remember eating FREE dosa on vijayadashmi day after the case…

      Wonder whats the new case all about.

      cheers,
      srimathi

2663. shrimathi,
      thanks for that old case history.
      new case history in brief :
      the owner wanted dwarka to be vacated as he wanted to build a complex. dwarka told NO. sari….mundhakke u can imagine….galate, courtu-case-u…..the case went on for nearly 10 years. dwarka started telling the place was his. finally, he vacated after the owner paid him SOMETHING. nowa complex is coming up. and as subbaramu told, he will start his hotelu on ganeshana habba.

2664. subbaramu, New Dwarka location gotta exact-aagi? i just know he is opening in NR colony…..

2665. Illi yellaru dose priyaru antha kansatte 🙁 Berenu yenaadru maatadi please 🙁

2666. Diya
      Actually wanted everybody to contribute with imagination how TNS may close his magnum opus… but as you rightly pointed out it has become DOSE centric talk…

      I promise not to eat DOSA , talk DOSA, Fume dosa et all

      cheers
      srimathi

2667. The Convention on Wetlands, signed in Ramsar, Iran, in 1971, is an intergovernmental treaty which provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. There are presently 152 Contracting Parties to the Convention, with 1611 wetland sites, totaling 145.2 million hectares, designated for inclusion in the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance.

2668. Hey Srimathi, THANKS a ton 😀 U can talk about dosas, not a ban on that…But please do consider the unique ones like me, who absolutely hate it and try not to make it the focal point of the discussions 🙂 And as for u Bellur, is it imperative for me to say something ???? 😉 But anyways, a nice piece of trivia 😉

2669. Diya
      How did u survive the kodbale, chakkuli etc
      bellur : Is there a website for vijaya times or link pls
      cheers

2670. Varsharuthu….

      Olle observation nimdhu, court scene and same dresses, main charecters costumes mathra change madtha idrappa,

2671. Bellur,

      I can treat you at New Dwaraka. Illiruva dose priyaru kuda barabahudu. It will be located in NR Colony 7th cross (actually adu mukhya raste). NR Colony bus stand inda come down towards the road leading to Vidyapeetha, you will find Katte balaga, Ravi Medical stores, a bakery at the corner, amele Krishna wine stores, and next comes Hotel Dwaraka.

      He is getting it renovated from the past one year. In fact he was asked to vacate his old place around 3-4 years back after the court order. Though he may be doing good, even the landlord should have a say on his property alva. Dwaraka hotel owner dinakke saviraru roopayi labha madkondu, tingalige kelave noorugalashtu bagide kotre landlord ge adu tingala tindigu sari hogalla. I heard he vacated after collecting a few lakhs from the landlord anta.

      Mostly nimmantahavaru Chutney patre scheme keltare antane, Dwaraka owner hakidda board sari ansatte. The board read like “Dose ge moorane bari chutney kodalaguvudilla”. But, the trivia is the supplier would pour unlimited quantities for the second time itself.

2672. Srimathi

      Down south padmanabhanagar andre yellri…. naavu aa dikkinavare.. Welcome to the blog,

      Bellur and dosa go hand in hand , Diya avre culprit dosa topic barakke, Veena heylidhu apt.

      Diya dont worry, i have colourful topic for discussion today since its festival season.

2673. Silk -One of the finest creation by a insect… Pattu…Peetambara….

      Empress Si Ling Chi of China is credited with discovering silk. While sitting under a mulberry tree in a palace garden having tea, a silkworm’s cocoon reportedly fell out of the tree into her cup. While removing it from her tea, she discovered the fine silk filament of the cocoon beginning to unravel.
      The Chinese guarded the secret of silk for millenniums by putting to death anyone found guilty of smuggling silkworm eggs, cocoons, or mulberry seeds. Silk became the cloth of emperors and royalty and a great source of wealth. However, about 1900 years ago a Chinese princess who married an Indian prince is reported to have succesfully smuggled silkworm eggs out of China in her headdress and to have fed them with the leaves of Indian mulberry trees.

      Since then, silk production has spread to other Asian countries and archaeologist have found silk silk 3,000 years old in the ruins of Baan Chiang, Thailand, which many of them consider the earliest civilization in Southeast Asia. Thais have developed a type of silk that is considered one of the finest fabrics in the world. They use a unique manufacturing process and have unique patterns and colors.

2674. Usha
      Thanks: Technically down south padhmanabanagar but actually chikkalasandara… where are you.

2678. Usha, Vani,
      Whole of Malenadu looks awsome!!!
      Greenery everywhere, one water-fall round every corner, umbrella clad, never get bugged with rain kind of people, leaches- as if they are the real-eskimos of those lands waging a war on the visitors!!… so much fun it is to visit that place. oh! God, Give me an opportunity to go there again 🙂
      I had a real fun last weekend when I visited those Nitya-Haridwarna vanagaLu in the company of never drying monsoon clouds. I’m really jealous of those people who always live there 😀

Quite an activity.

      Habba andre ondhu samoohika chatuvatike, Pre independence period , Lokamanya Tilakji started this Ganesha Festival acharane to collect Indians in big groups to address about freedom struggle and spread awareness of Unity.

2694. Muktha Update

      23.08.06

      1.MM brings Mridula to meet CM. CM says it’s a matter for the Education minister to resolve. MM explains that he is occupied for the next 10 days and that would be too long a wait for Mridula. MM explains to the CM the problem she is facing. He is upset that that girl is undergoing such difficulties. He promises to take suitable action.

      2.Mallikarjun Swamy’s residence. Thaatha is speaking to Ajji on the phone. Ajji is out of station. Purushottam and Gowri come in with a gloomy face. They decide to pull Thaatha’s leg and tell him that CSP told them there is no chance of them getting the property. Thaatha is angry and says CSP always tries to scold them. He says he had dreamt of asking Gowri to give him some money to buy an old fiat car to go around and sufficient money to visit any hotel of his choice. Gowri and Purushottam laugh and tell him about Gowri’s share in the property. They also explain to Amma the difficulty that lies ahead; Mahesh and Madhu may pose lot of problems. Amma immediately asks Gowri to reject it. Gowri explains her duty towards Chinmayee and says she will face anything that comes.

      3.CM’s residence. MM and CM summon the department HOD and Registrar. They enquire about Mridula’s application for change of guide. The HOD says it’s a silly matter and so he refused to change the guide. CM scolds him for being so irresponsible. He says does a girl’s allegation that she’s being harassed sound silly to you? HOD tries to say that her thesis was not incomplete. CM says that the other professor told her that the entire thesis could be completed in one night. Is that the sort of statement a teacher makes? We are supposed to guide our youngsters to the right path, but your irresponsibility is what provokes such action. He tells HOD that he will bypass him and get the Registrar issue a degree to the girl if he does not do so by himself. HOD is apologetic and says he acted that way because he is scared to oppose the professor. He is very influential and a little bit of a rowdy element. CM assures HOD that no harm will come to him. He instructs the registrar and HOD to take suitable action. They walk away. CM summons Mridula. He assures her that he has taken action and she will not have any problem. She takes his blessings. He also gives he 20,000 to help her with her urgent expenses. She refuses but he puts a sentimental angle that he is like her father and she can take it as a loan and return it whenever convenient.

2695. Hi all 🙂

2696. HEYLO 😛

      Just wondering, Bellur, 🙂 what’s ur site? 😀 I’ll go on it 🙂
      I just don’t know the website 🙂 hee hee 😀 😛 !

      KEEP SMILING! 🙂 🙂 🙂 !

      AMMU 😛 😀 🙂 !!!

2697. Yesterdays Gowri and TNS acting were superub( When gowri and TNS go to swamiji for asking him to execute the will). In close up they were able to convey the emotions of happiness and sadness very convincingly.. TNS is a great actor par director to not only give such a performence but extract the same from his actors too..

2698. Ayyo Shruthi nanna attakke yerisabedi…Helikodoshtu expert alla naanu 🙂 N Vani, thanx for the update 😀 Waiting for the update today 😉

2699. Yes, and the way TNS expressed his displeasure was excellent too. Detailed update coming up in a little while Diya.

2700. Yesterday’s episode was superb. The portrayal of emotions by everybody…. yellara sankaTa… discomfort…. and the dialogues, the matter… everything was very good.

2701. Pluto is no more a planet

      http://www.hindu.com/2006/08/25/stories/2006082508360100.htm

2702. Now the only Pluto that will come to our minds will be Mickey’s friend, the lovable doggy, PLUTO!!

2703. Ella bhojana(food) priyarige,
      ondu basic doubt!!
      Whats the difference between MODAKA and KADUBU?
      I’ve heard both the names but have seen only one item!!
      Is it that I’ve mis-understood these names?!! Pls help me.

2704. Srik, both MODAKA and KADUBU are made from the same ingredients…Even the filling is the same..They only difer in their shape.KADUBU is oblong, whereas MODAKA is round 🙂 This is how it’s made on Ganesha Chaturthi…

2705. Was really fortunate to have managed to see Muktha yesterday. It was really mersmerising – I’d even say I was simply RIVETED to my seat!

      His honesty and outspokenness yesterday were outstanding. HATS OFF to CSP – in his ordinariness as an ordinary lawyer, I find him more inspiring and motivating to discover truth, than any Swamiji!

      Some 2 or 3 dialogues particularly struck me – waiting for tomorrow when I get more time to write in detail. Looking forward to an update… [I wanted to write one myself yesterday except I fell asleep more by mistake than by plan! ]

2706. srik,
      from KADUBU, you can make BADUKU
      but from MODAKA, not possible.

2707. From MODAKA we can make BODAKA , Shodaka for BADUKU 🙂

2708. Dear all,
      Have put a cartoon on pluto in my post ‘Planet Pluto gets a demotion’….you can see it here:
      http://bellurramki18.wordpress.com/2006/08/25/the-only-pluto/
      🙂

2709. Frankly I didnt understand the high-level gramatical BODAKA SODAKA stuffs guys 🙁

      Another thing.. I just thought KADUBU was a kannada name given to the sanskrit word MODAKA. Yeah I have seen some small kadubus round in shape, and from now I’ll relate them to the word MODAKA…

2710. Nanna Prakara Kadubu Namma Kannada Pada Modaka Samskrita Pada .

2711. srik, simple stuff.
      Rearrange the word KADUBU, u get BADUKU.
      ucannot do that with MODAKA. So that’s the difference….

      And yes, me too did not understand that BODAKA and SODAKA [anything to do with Preacher and (Re)Searcher?]

2712. Srik,

      Modaka na maduva vidhaana bere, kadubu maado vidhaana bere.

      To give you an idea,

      yeradarallu the similarity is that both are made of an outer covering with a stuffing inside.

      yerdarallu olagade kayi-bella hoorana idthaare.

      To make the outer shell for Modaka, cooked rice flour is used. Mathe the entire modak is steamed to give you the end product.

      To make kadubu, wheat flour /maida is used for the outer shell, the stuffing is filled inside and the item is deep fried.

      Ee sarthi nim tayi kaili yeradu varieties maadsi.

2713. Hello People,

      Will do the update in another couple of hours.

      Thanks for your patience.

2714. srik,bellur
      Just rhymed the word BODAKA and SHODAKA with MODAKA thats all.The meanings are suggested by bellur. 🙂 🙂

      By just eating a kadubu your life is made!!
      By eating a modaka you can search , preach in life!!

      cheers,
      srimathi

2715. Yella tindipotharu

      😀 😀 😀

2716. In yesterdays episode did you guys observe that TNS does not bend down and touch the feets of swamiji while gowri and tata do that.. any reflexions/comments

2717. oh! Vani,
      eega gothaytu..! Kari gadubu mathe beyisida kadubu..!
      Yeradoo madtare ganeshana habbakke yeradoo solsolpa..!
      Well.. thanks for the clarification.

      Usha, adjective u gave includes you as well 😀

2718. Yeah,
      it was evident that CSP didn’t have respect for SWAMIJI and he also said that “Neevu helidare samaja oppabekaguthe… yakendre yellaru nimma bagge gaurava itkonDirabekaguthe…”!
      How can he expect Madhuvanti listening Swamiji’s word when he himself doesnt seem to do that?!!

      Upon that he asks Gauri to stay in Mutt!!
      Why doesn’t he think that Madhavi patel being a home minister and a relative would provide a good security to Gauri?!!

2719. srik,
      you have typed my thoughts as it is. 🙂

2720. Yes srik

      Gowri can stay in aru’s house or madhavi patel’s house..

      and another thing is swamijige Kavi bittu , Bili batte hakkondu gowri balananna sari maadi antha helidru CSP, i feel it s very much related too real incdent which has taken place… any comments

2721. Vani, yellara comments keli nange hotte-uritide ree…Neevu innu update barde illa….Naanu hege comment maadodu???? 🙁

2722. I somehow thought Kavi janaranna intha personal issues ge elibardhu antha, i appreciated Swaiji’s stand on that.

2723. sanmaanya TNS avaru mukta dhArAvAhiyannu July thingala koneyalli ‘mukta’goLisuthene antha ghoshisiddaru. Yaako inno muktakke mukti illa ansuthe. Honestly, it has become quite boring with all the MACs – Mutual Admiration Camps – that happen between different characters in the serial. They keep saying ‘neevu thumba nyaayavaadigalu, nimma maneyavaru thumba olleyavaru, dharmaatmaru, blah blah’. My only point is that there has to a balance between idealistic thinking (and inking of the same) and being practical. I really admire Mr.TNS’ attempt at eulogizing honesty, integrity and fair mindedness which is in such short supply these days. But, too much of a good thing makes one quite cynical.

      I remember Mr.Katte Ramachandra taking a dig at these mega serials when he was interviewed on the radio recently. I think he has a point when he says that he is against this concept of mega serials. There might be other talented directors/actors who are trying to get a decent break, but these mega serials like Mukta hog the prime time for such a long duration that they get frustrated.

      Having said all this, Mukta still scores over all other serials that picturise the games people play in family relations and indulge in crooked tactics.

2724. One point to observe there is that there are SO MANY DUD serials with MUKTHA being an exception of sorts ( TNS has his own problmes to end it ) so katte ramachandras statment doesnt seem to hold much water…. atleast i dont remember any mega serials of other people being such a talk of town – correct me if am wrong pls.

2725. Yes srimathi

      Adeno kumkuma bhagya, mangalya, guptagamini, Kuberappa and sons antha dragged , boring timepass serials baruthe yestondhu.. adnella compare madidre… muktha definitely stands out in quality,

      Aa apadane tirulilladdu

2726. Howdu usha innaduve muktha mugidu hodre… TV margeka antha yochane madthaiddine…anyway TNS is out for big screen and hope some bright director comes out with a serial like muktha

2727. oops! its TV marbaku as in selling it 🙂

2728. just thought…..if Ekta Kapoor had done Muktha serial, it would hve been KKKKMUKTHA

2729. It would have been KKUKKTHA, as in viewrs na bore hodesi kukki ogedu haakodu… 🙂

2730. Muktha Update

      24.08.06

      1.Thaatha, Gowri and CSP go to meet Swamiji in the Matha. Swamiji enquires about their wellbeing and jokes that he is nervous about meeting Thaatha’s family with a lawyer. Mallikarjun Swamy tells Swamiji that they have come to discuss an important issue with him. Swamiji is surprised and Thaatha tells him about the will. Swamiji says he has seen another will with Madhuvanthi, wherein major portion had been bequeathed to her. CSP clarifies and tells him that this is the latest one; Annapurnamma has willed 25% of her property to Gowri, along with major portion to Chinmayee, and smaller portions to Madhuvanthi and her driver. Swamiji studies Gowri and Thaatha’s faces. Thaatha appears very pleased and this prompts Swamiji to remark that they must be very happy. Thaatha says of course, they are; Gowri’s difficulties seem to be coming to an end. He asks Swamiji if he doesn’t feel happy for Gowri. Swamiji says that it has not brought great happiness to him, because he feels that Gowri’s soul was in the process of purification because of her difficulties. CSP is sarcastic and says sitting on the Dharmapeetha, away from worldly problems, it is easy for Swamiji to make comments like this. It is Gowri who has faced difficulties. Swamiji says he is hurt by CSP’s statement. CSP apologizes and says he cannot control his tongue if he gets angry.

      2.Swamiji asks CSP what is his role to play here. CSP hands him a copy of the will and informs him that Annapurnamma has named him the executor of the will. He has to summon Madhuvanthi and Mahesh and distribute the property as per Annapurnamma’s wishes. Thaatha asks CSP if the will is valid, because it has not been registered, whereas the previous one has. CSP tells Thaatha that three conditions must necessarily be fulfilled for a will to be valid. 1. It should be written by a person with sane mind. 2. It should not have been written because of someone else’s pressure or should not be forced. 3. It should be the last and final one before the person’s death. If these three conditions are fulfilled, the other wills, registered or otherwise are not valid. Swamiji listens to this and says that he doesn’t want to be dragged into worldly issues. CSP overpowers him and says that it would be easy for Swamiji to deal with this issue because of his position. If he tells Madhu and Mahesh, they would listen. Swamiji is still reluctant. Gowri says that they should not put down the prestige of the Swamiji by dragging him into this. CSP chides Gowri and tells her that it is in her own interest that she should involve him. Thaatha tries to intervene but is asked to keep quiet. CSP says that Gowri has nowhere to go after Amma and Ajji-Thaatha’s time. Srikantha is selfish, Purushottam is in his father-in-law’s house and Nanjunda at present is good to them but no one can be sure about the future. Also Chinmayee’s life is at risk because of this. CSP tells Swamiji that if he is so reluctant, then he will collect donations on Hemagiri Main road and fight for Gowri. He snatches the Will copy from Swamiji’s hands and gets up to leave.

      3.Swamiji stops them and asks them to remain seated. He tells CSP that he is facing another dilemma in supporting Gowri. He explains that before ascending the Dharma Peetha there was an emotional relationship he shared with Gowri; they had also decided to get married. Now if he were to support Gowri in this, wouldn’t people’s tongues wag? Wouldn’t he get a bad name? CSP is incensed and says in any such relationship, it is often the lady who bears the brunt of society. When people came to attend the weddings in their house, she was the one who was subjected to people’s questions and sarcasm. Swamiji is talking about bad names, it had already come to Swamiji when he decided to step down and marry Gowri. It was Gowri who stood behind a pillar in her residence and cried when no one was looking during the wedding, considering that to be the last chapter in her life. It was Gowri who was left to face things in the world. He escaped all that and renounced the world. People would be scared to utter anything against him because of his position. She is hardly 26 years old. She has gone through several difficulties in life, and yet he is reluctant to help her. He challenges Swamiji to shed his Kaavi Batte and help her if he wishes to.

      By this time, Gowri is in tears, Thaatha is speechless and Swamiji sits in front of them with his head hung low. He tells CSP that he accepts whatever CSP has said, and agrees to help Gowri. He also tells CSP to be a little more polished and polite while speaking. CSP says he is sorry and apologizes for his unruly tongue. Thaatha expresses fear for Gowri’s life from Madhuvanthi and Mahesh. CSP instructs that till such time everything is decided, Gowri must stay in the Matha. Gowri is surprised. Thaatha and Swamiji look on, silent.

      Rashmi

2732. and throughout all this, the poor guy standing so obediently outside the room in a kaavi batte didn’t even turn once to even see why TNS was talking to the swamiji in a raised tone. i felt paapa seeing the Onti Sanyasi!

2733. rashmi, nimagu ashte, gowri-ganesha olledu maadli antha haraisthivi.

2734. Was that Onti sanyasi the police constable standing similarly in all court sceens? Just wondering

2735. Hi Dose/tindi potare,

      I think I have missed a looooooooooooot during past 2 days. I wanted to write a big one considering everything. Thanks for the updates & opinions.
      I shall try to send an email to somebody & request you to update. I need to get back home today little early. naaLe habba alva so….

      Professor, you are really missed here. Diya, nice to see your comments , they are pretty impressive.

      Have a great weekend & Gowri Ganesha festival.
      Best Regards,
      Veena

2736. Thanx Vani…Riveting as usual 🙂

2737. Thanx Veena 🙂 My comments impressive????? Well, I’m not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, n would just say a really BIG THANK YOU 😉

2738. Big Words, Diya. Thanks. I just hope I have been able to convey everything.

2739. Of course Vani…Why the doubt??? I can realy understand the comments others wrote about impressive acting, just by reading your update 🙂 HATS OFF to u 😀

2740. Incidentally that ONTI sanyasi is my cousin’s friend, and he feels TNS has given him a break with this character, poor fellow!!

2741. Srik,
      That was the biggest joke for today
      Am laughing so much…
      🙂 🙂 🙂

      Thanks,
      srimathi

2742. Yeah Srimati,
      I thought of telling him, ‘he has given you a break with the KAVI batte’ 😀

2743. Its literal sanyas from all such future acting for him
      🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

2744. Mostly tommorrow the attendance on this site will be dull. Saturdays usually yaavdu comments iralla…tommorrow it will be even more sporadic…girls busy with Gowri Habba and boys with Ganesha Habba.

      Namm maneli Ganesha book maadi bandiddivi. Since we dont have Swarna Gowri Vratha, naale madhyaana Ganesha tarthivi.
      Today Malleswaram 8th Cross will be very crowded. This year we are not shopping in Malleswaram, partially because of lack of time, and partially because of the crowd.

      How is the habba preparations in everyone’s house?

2745. Photo enthu folks, checkout http://www.vivekm.com

      Its a marvellous collection by vivek.

2746. Vani,
      Happy shopping.
      I was going the other day on Malleswaram 9th cross. There was a shop which stored Ganesha idols. But I saw a few which looked a bit odd because of the face and the height. It was because Ganesha was not sitting on a mouse, but on a horse and he looked like a Chinese. Because they were made by Chinese. Anything Chinese sells today. Shopkeepers warn that fake Chinese Ganesha idols have also flooded the markets.
      After literally invading the Indian markets with fancy lights and decorative lamps during Diwali festivities about four years ago, the Chinese have taken a step further by launching statues of Lord Ganesha — in all shapes, colour and sizes to catch the fancy of the Indian market.
      But the Chinese have committed a mistake — instead of placing Lord Ganesha on his `mouse,’ he has been mounted on a horse. Though such idols are rare.
      But some shoppers lamented that the Chinese Ganeshas lack the `Indian look’. Also, the features are Mongoloid if you pay attention to the details.
      The variety of Ganeshas available are small enough to fit the dashboard of your car and big enough to acquire a space in the `puja room.’ Most of the idols are made of plastic or synthetic and cost anything between Rs. 40 and Rs. 2,500.

2747. Hi all,
      Wish you a very happy Ganesh Chaturty.
      May Lord Ganesha shower his kindness upon all of us.

      Please come with me, lets go to a beautiful Ganesha temple here : http://srikslib.blogspot.com/2006/08/trip-to-mysterious-ganesha-temple.html

2748. Ellarigu Gowri Ganesha Habbada Shubhashayagalu !!!!

2749. Vani thanks for the excellent update. There were some more details… can anyone add them? I think its worth adding. Just put the prev line, and the next line, and your detail in the middle.

2750. Happy Gowri and Ganesha Habba to all !!!
      Don’t forget to see the moon (Chandra) on Sunday 😉

2751. remember the days as small boys and girls, we used to go from one house to another sprinkle mantrakshate and kadle on the ‘ganesha’, do namaskara to the lord, shout “vigneshwaranige jai”, and run to another house, perform the above ‘rituals’, and run to the third. every house used to give some prasada, we used to grab and invade each house, till we finished seeing 21 ganeshas.

2752. Dear BillWaterson’s Calvin (ur name reminds the Watergate Scandal),
      Wish you the same.
      ee modadalli, if u can spot the moon(chandra), do let us know. 😉

2753. Bellur, chandrange challengaa?? Aamele kathe odbekagathe sumniri… ‘A thing happens when you least expect it to happen’ anta gothillwa?

2756. That was good Bellur 😀

2757. Bellur,

      and throughout all this, the poor guy standing so obediently outside the room in a kaavi batte didn’t even turn once to even see why TNS was talking to the swamiji in a raised tone. i felt paapa seeing the Onti Sanyasi!

      I have seen that we always observe the same things!! 🙂

      And me laughing at Chinese idols 😀

      Veena, I am so flattered that you missed me 🙂

      Yellarigu habbada shubhashayagaLu!

2759. shruthi,
      do u also observe the side dancers in a song without seeing the hero and the heroine coz i do that….
      btw,
      wish your sister(P) good luck for her future. if she hasn’t left yet, do not forget to give a bottle of AMRUTHANJAN dabbi. bon voyage to her.

      dear bill waterson’s calvin, i think u r a fan of CALVIN & HOBBES. But it ought to be Bill Watterson’s ‘Calvin. nimma nija naamadheya heluvanthavaraaguvira? innond vishya gotta? u r supposed to see chandra the next day after UGADHI. and it is really difficult to see the BIDIGE CHANDRA…. whereas the chouthi chandra should not be seen…but some lucky(?!) fellows see it! 😉

2760. Bellur, YES! I do see the side dancers all the time… esp the horrible guys with long hair who think they are so cool… yuck!!… so much entertainment value…. 🙂
      Thanks Bellur, she is leaving tomorrow evening. Will pass on your wishes to her!

2761. Btw, Bellur, Yella OK, Amruthanjan yaake?

2762. Hello folks,
      Hearing the chandra story… somehow got into seeing this moon despite good cloud cover 🙁

      Any other seers?
      cheers
      srimathi

2763. Srimathi, yes, I did 🙂 Each time I step out of home, I automatically look at the moon – it is a habit – and I did it yday too!

2764. Friends,
      creator of characters like “Anand”, “Bavarchi”, “Guddi”…, Hrishikesh Mukherjee is dead. Let us pray for peace to his soul.

2765. sad morning…..last monday Bismillah khan died. today, Hrishikesh Mukherjee. I love his movies GOLMAAL and CHUPKE CHUPKE. Golmaal is one of the all time great comedy flick from Hrishkesh.
      RIP, Hrishi da, as he was fondly known.

2766. shruthi,
      amruthanjan is like an all-rounder. and smelling it sometimes makes you feel you are at home! i feel it is amust with anyone travelling.
      hope she took it!

2767. Yes Bellur, she took it 🙂 – Actually she took Tiger Balm – but it’s ok – all the same 😉

      Btw, here is my tribute to Bismillah Khan and Hrishikesh Mukherjee

2768. Lo Belluru,

      The word ‘Amrutanjana’ has got a different meaning in the dictionary of kannada tabloid journalists. Most of our politicians take Amrutanjani’s while travelling and hence it should be an all-rounder as u said.

      Gowri jote Ganesha Bandayitu. Kadubu tindayitu. Namma Muktha Gowrige Shiva (swamy) sigtaara? sikkaroo, kaavi bicchaki Gowrige ondu ganeshanna kodtaara.

      Muktha is not ending. so you might see this Ganesha less gowri for some more months.

2769. Girishanna,
      😀 😀 😀

2770. Is it not ending this week??!!!!!!
      🙁

2771. Gosh!
      Muktha is not ending this week? Guess there is another serial sloted from next month?

2772. Habba mugisikonDu innu yaaru vapas bandilla ansatthe! :O

      Girish, any idea when Muktha is ending? You said a “few more months”????

2773. I guess yargoo Ganeshanna bittu barakke manse illa 😉

2774. Shruthi,
      I really dont know when muktha will get mukthi. Last time when I spoke to TNS, we never spoke about muktha.
      Bellur,
      amazing to see your site guru. I had thought you have multiple facets and the same is being showcased in your site.

2775. girishanna,
      thanks.

      i remember last time when we met TNS, we spoke about Muktha amongst other things….and that was when he told “it will get over on July 28th!”

      srik,
      loudspeakers haavali kammi aagide ee sarthi. i did not hear any pandals playing the latest kannada songs at all (atleast in malleswaram). but pataki hodadru bahala kade. i think nowadays anytime you can get pataki!

2776. Hi
      Ellarigu Gouri Ganesha Habbada Shubhashayagalu!. O Lord Ganesha Evaaranaaru Muktha Mugidu namma vigna Nivaarisappa!!!

      jai Ganesha.

2777. HI…Regarding chandra darshana y’day, we had a BEngali friend visiting us…She wanted to know if she could see the moon, as she does’nt celebrate the festival 🙂 She finally decided, ‘Be a Roman when in Rome’ and did’nt look up 😉 And what’s all this about MUktha continuing for a few more months????

2778. Muktha Update

      25.08.06

      1.Sharavathi and Gayathri are eating menasinkayi bajjis. Gayathri compliments Sharavathi and she tells her that this is an art that needs practice. Gayathri says she does not know much about cooking because her mother and now her mother-in-law are in charge of cooking. Sharavathi asks her if she intends to stay separate. Gayathri immediately denies, but says no one knows about the future. Sharavathi questions her about Gowri. Gayathri asks her why she keeps questioning her about Gowri. Sharavathi immediately puts on a very depressed look and tells her that she feels embarrassed that she’s the only one unaware of anything that’s happening at home. She paints a very sorry picture of herself and tells Gayathri it’s ok if she doesn’t wish to tell her anything. Gayathri is very apologetic and tells her about the previous day’s meeting held at the Matha. She also promises that she will not hide anything from her henceforth.

      2.Mahesh is speaking on the phone to their accounts chief, Mukund Pai. Pai informs him about the funds situation in the company. Madhu joins Mahesh and asks him the reason for his agitated state. Mahesh tells her and she says she also feels that the attitude of the staff has changed drastically after Gowri quit the company. She also informs him that 3 of their key researchers have resigned along with a couple of directors. Mahesh tells her that the only solution to this is to sell off the company to the German firm that bought the formula for Kempu Sanjeevini Soppu, as they are planning to start a production facility in India. He informs Madhu that they will be meeting with that company very shortly. Madhu is hesitant; she says that her mother had many dreams for this company. Mahesh chides her and asks her not to be sentimental. He tells her that he is finding it extremely difficult to manage the company. Madhu agrees and asks Mahesh to fix up an appointment to meet the German representatives. Just then her mobile rings and she speaks very respectfully and with a bit of tension to the person on the other side. She ends the conversation and tells Mahesh that it was Ananda Murthy from the Matha; Swamiji has summoned them to discuss something about the Will. She tells him that Swamiji has a copy of the new will. Mahesh calls up some contact of his in the Matha and learns about Swamiji’s meeting with Gowri, CSP and Thaatha. Madhu is worried that Swamiji may be aware of other issues also. Mahesh tries to ring up to Satishchandra but he does not answer his call. Both are apprehensive. Mahesh tells her to ring up to Ananda Murthy and tell him that she will come tomorrow as they have a board meeting. In the meantime they go to see their lawyer.

      3.Hemagiri Matha. Swamiji chairs the meeting. To his right are Mahesh and Madhuvanthi. To his left are Thaatha, Gowri and CSP. Annapurnamma’s old driver Rashid is also present. Before Swamiji can say anything, Madhu says she wants everyone who is not concerned with the will to remain outside. When Swamiji asks her who she is referring about, she says it’s CSP. Gowri says he is her counsel and so is there. Madhu argues about it. Gowri says ok, CSP can go if Mahesh goes. Madhu defends herself. Swamiji intervenes and tells Madhu he has asked CSP to be there as while discussing such issues, a lawyer’s advice is always handy. He then tells everyone present about the new will. Mahesh and Madhu say they doubt the authenticity of the will because they doubt that Annapurnamma would have willed her assets in that fashion, when She, Madhuvanthi is alive. Rashid says Madam had lost trust in Madhuvanthi during her last days. She felt Gowri would be a better guardian for Chinmayee. Madhu snubs Rashid and Swamiji asks her to behave. Swamiji hands over a copy of the will to Mahesh and Madhu and they study it. Mahesh tells Swamiji that they feel that the will seems to be fabricated because it is not registered. CSP says it need not be so; Mahesh cuts him short and says it sounds illogical. Even a will for Rs 10,000 is registered these days. This is a property worth Rs 120 Crores. How can it not be registered? No one counters this. CSP looks thoughtful.

2779. People are speculating, Diya. The only thing pending after Gowri’s case is the reforming of Srikanthu and Sharavathi.
      Maybe another week or so, and he may wind up.

2780. btw, can anyone tell did sheela prasad and CSP separate? if they have shown this, maybe i missed seeing it and reading the update! 🙁

2781. The way things are proceeding in Muktha, another court case seems to be in the offing…What do u people feel???

2782. Bellur,
      Sheela Prasad & CSP have not separated.

2783. Bellur,
      yake ee doubt all of a sudden?!! Even I’ve not seen them talk of seperation!!
      Oh! God! no more court scenes please… :O

2784. TNS normally hypes a particular thing in the wrong way and cools it off. This is his way of keeping the interest in his serials. He is hyping the court cases right now the way mahesh is going ballastic but faced with more revalations and subsequent loss to them, he may/will agree for a more honurable way out in the will business ( even so for the audience!)

      Thats my understanding of the point 🙂

2785. srik,
      i felt that they haveseparated coz the other day when MP and SKD come to CSP’s house to pay him his fees, they ask abt Sheela and how she is. CSP tells in a dramatic way, “I hope she is fine wherever she is”.
      hence I thought they might have separated! 😮

2786. dear CHANDAMAMA fans,
      read the rediff tribute to my fav. children’s magazine. this is the 60th year of Chandamama. In yesterday’s THE NEW INDIAN EXPRESS, an in-depth article appeared on Chandamama turning 60.

      Link to the Rediff article:
      http://specials.rediff.com/money/2006/aug/28sld1.htm

2787. oh! Bellur,
      I missed that episode… so I thought everything was fine with the couple. Hope he doesn’t bring up a divorce case of two lawers!!

2788. Whats full name of CSP? what ever it is …
      I would rather call him Court Scene Producer

2789. Court Scene Producer……that’s a good one, praveen! lol 😀

2790. Shadow,

      Back to Nija Naamadheya?

      Bellur, Thx for info on Chandamama

2791. Good point Srimathi 🙂 N Vani, lets hope he does wind up, but without reforming Srikantha n Sharavathi 🙂 It would look too contrived if he does that 😀 Bellur, the scene u referred to, if I remember right portrayed the usual differences between CSP n Sheela Prasad, the root of which lies in their individual principles….I don’t remember him saying “I hope she is fine wherever she is”. I seem to remember him saying that she would be happy if the CM were to give her the money as fees, rather than CSP handing it over to her. Can someone shed more light???

2792. diya,
      he told that after he told what i have written as a comment earlier.

2793. and this was in the august 11th episode…..no mention about what i have commented(CSP not knowing where is sheela prasad) has been made in the update……so can anyone shed light on this? HAVE CSP & SP SEPARATED?

2794. Hi All,

      Sorry that I couldn’t keep my words of updating this blog in the weekend. My MODEM at home doesn’t seem to work ok for some reason. That is one of the reasons, but not all.

      Hrishida’s demise is a loss to the film society especially people like me who would love to watch his movies any number of times. Generally I don’t prefer to watch movies multiple times otherwise.

      Gowri Ganesh festival was fun rather its a very good change. I got to do lot of things which I don’t do in my other days. Cooking feast & some different set of poojas are to name a few. I shall write about it sometime later. I did see our area ganapathi which was very good. We have a Manikya ganapathi temple near our house, I saw all navagraha’s dressed with some kind of silver thing(beLLi mukhavaaDa) which was pretty interesting. was thinking about our discussion about Navagraha’s…

      Diya, I guess YUCK was something which you didn’t use intentionally I second Bellurs thought of not using that word for food. Actually, even I do that mistake. Sometimes I take out ‘Shit’ from my mouth for some silly things & then bite my tongue. Yesterday was one instance when my sareee pallu made my kumkum ‘baTTalu’ fall & I uttered ‘Shit’ without my knowledge. I self taught myself not to repeat(atleast for food & GODly related ones) that but I can’t help it.

      Chandranna nODida gumpige nannu serskoLLi. I wanted to buy that CD/cassette/book of shamantaka maNi story but by the time we got back home, it was too late.

      Hey why are you guys madly behind closing Mukta? Recently TNS has brought out some significant issues like ‘Sexual harrassment’ without having it dragged too much. I think if such issues are brought out, I don’t mind watching it for another year. As Vani rightly said, you have an open option of switching your channels to better serials(if you can say that). Lets not bring this topic every now & then. We are hear to talk about Mukta happenings. Sorry If my statements sounds very rude/demanding here.

      TNS & Sheela prasad’s separation is news to me. I don’t think TNS meant that way. He just said, pls pay Sheela prasad some amount for she having fought for that case. I didn’t notice he talking about any such thing. I personally feel there is no need for a separation for them(atleast SP doesnt seem to be so selfish & egoist I should say she tolerates CSP the most for his very “ill sense of dignity/class”)

      I have been lagging in updating the comments. Will try to follow it more seriously.

      Best Regards,
      Veena.

2795. Bellur,

      I dint hear that on that day’s episode…I clearly heard him saying she will not take money from him because she is a swaabhimaani person…he spoke about his daughter’s admission in Ramana Rao’s college.

2796. vani, he told that at the end of the episode. in the beginning, as soon as SKD and MP came, he spoke of how the police asked tea, sniffer dogs bla bla and then he was asked how was Sheela Prasad…..he then tells, “i hope she is fine wherever she is”……

2797. CSP ee dialogue nittusiru bidtha helthare! that is what makes it dramatic! and that’s the reason for me digging up an OLD FILE!

2798. Vani,
      Adu nanalla ri…

2799. Hey People,

      There was a debate sometime back on this forum about working women not being able to manage their marriage and home front…

      There is an article on Rediff asking people’s opinion on whether men would marry working women or not.

      Makes interesting reading…(specially the responses that have come in response)

2800. That should have read “messages that have come in response”

2801. Vani,
      olle majaa ee SHADOW and PRAVEEN kathe……reminds me of ULTA-PULTA picture (Ramesh & Kashi) 😀 🙂

2802. well… in my poinion, marriage is a bond between the hearts, not minds. One should not control the thinking of the other. And in this view, working or not working is completely an independent decission of the wife or husband. And that decission should be respected by the other. I mean compromise must be limited, let it not dominate the life!!

2803. if a girl is well educated, there is no harm in her working. once she is married, there is no compulsion nowadays from the husband or his family that the girl must leave the job or must work. it is left to her, generally. she is free to decide on her career. BUT.
      if after marriage, she has a baby, and there is no one else to take care of the baby, she has to sacrifice her career for her baby’s sake. she can always continue working later. when husband and wife have no support at home full time to take care of the kid, they should spend time with the kid. It also depends on how you want to do it…whether to leave the kid at home full time with parents or someone’s support OR take care of the kid yourself and not depend on anybody. I prefer the second part…otherwise later we’ll realize they are not attached to us anymore or they do not need us for anything.
      if the girl has problems leaving the job, the husband can give the option of him taking care of the baby (by him leaving the job). of course, not all wives accept this decision. they feel it a bit uncomfortable to adapt to this situation where she is working and answer to relative’s query as to where her hubby is working! this trend is yet to catch on in india. this case can be more preferable when the girl is more educated than the husband and she has better chances of climbing up in professional life.
      another option is for one of them to work from home. but to look after a child and work from home is not all that easy.

2804. Yeah rightly said.
      Each and every move od us should be democratic and fair. both husband and wife should feel happy at the end of the day. That’s the point there.

2805. Hey, Both husband & wife should feel happy at the end of the day reminds me about the chandamaama stories which ends similar to this. “Aamele ella sukhavaagi baaLidaru”.. Bellur, I remember reading these lines somewhere else 🙂
      Just kidding…!!

2806. Good Morning everyone,

      Request someone to do last night’s update. I dint watch last night.

      Thanks
      Vani

2807. Enlgish professors, How grammatically is the below sentence/statement correct? This is not to finger point on Bellur but just want to understand/learn myself.
      —“of course, not all wives accept this decision”..—
      In this sentence, is this ok to use ‘wives’ here ? Its not plural here but we need to use an ‘Apo-strophy(spelling)’. But we are saying ‘All Wives’ so would “wife’s” be an apt/right word ? Also one person can have only one wife allave ? Just a food(drink) for thought…..

      Have a wonderful day,
      Veena,

2808. Folks,
      IF rediff has come out with this discussion there is a more advanced of this kind here http://www.valueresearchonline.com/story/storyview.asp?str=9039

      The institution of marriage iself is collapsing ( you can vouch for it and thanks to rural india it will take more time)

      So, all our thoughts/discussions should be on wether marriage is a necessary evil or not 🙂

      Cheers
      srimathi

2809. I feel that if a woman can strike a balance between her professional and personal life, yes, she can work as long as she wants after marriage. And as Bellur pointed out, if there is adequate support for the parents to leave their kids with elders at home, she can continue. But this option somehow does not gel well with me. I feel that the first five years of a child’s life are most important, and both parents must be actively involved in bringing up the child.
      After that, it’s up to the lady to decide if she wants to work or not, depending on her attitude and need along with free time to spare for her job. One more issue I have come across is that many women are torn between the need to stay home with their children and the additional financial strength their job offers.

      An ideal situation would be that she should be equipped with the right skills, so that she may not find it difficult to get into a job if the need so arises.

2810. A brief update on yesterday’s episode, until some one gives it in detail.

      All 3 scenes were the discussion about Annapoornamma’s (AP) will at Swamiji’s place.

      Mahesh mentions that the will looks unnatural since it wasn’t registered and why would AP give it all to a stranger Gowri. Then he says the signature looks forged by Gowri. At this Gowri recollects that she was already once accused of forgery and it was proved in the end that it was done by Madhuvanti and Mahesh. CSP interferes and says that signature is not forged and he can prove it by using handwriting experts.

      Mahesh then calls for an amicable solution by giving Gowri the Kempusanjeevini factory and some cash and let everyone forget about the so called new will. CSP says nothing doing and says it has to be as per the will and he is ready to go to court for it.

      Mahesh says he can prove AP was not mentally stable when the will was signed and hence wouldn’t stand in court. CSP says he can prove that she was alright since the same day AP signed she chaired a major meeting at home and he has records for it.

      Mahesh asks for a week’s time and Swamiji says OK and meeting ends.

      Some 3 times between all these, Gowri cries ‘I dont want asthi’ and CSP shouts at her ‘sumni kotklri’. These scenes are being copy-pasted I feel 😉

2811. Veena,

      Bellur’s sentence is gramatically correct, “Wife” is a noun (As in name of a person / relationship). In the above context, wives is used as a collective noun. The sentence itself says “All Wives” which indicates he is speaking of a group of men and their wives, and not a person’s wife in particular.

      As long as one speaks of his wife, he can refer to “my wife’s “, which makes the apostrophy the possessive form of a singular entity.

      Nammalli innu legal aagi onde wife ondu person ge antha ide. Illegal aagi yeshtu janaa hendthiru bekaadru itkobahudu. 😉

2812. Thanx for the update Chaitanya…And Veena, “wives” is used rightly…. If an apostophe is used it means ‘of the wife’, like for example “The wife’s dreams…”.. Wives antha illi as a group use maadirodu… 🙂 Someone please correct me if I’m wrong..

2813. dear all,
      sorry for taking you off topic.
      Last year, in September 2005, I designed a front page of an imaginary newspaper ‘Malgudi Times’ on the occasion of RK Narayan’s 99th birth anniversary(Oct.10). Just to remind you, this is the birth centenary year of the great novelist.
      you can read the paper here: http://bellurramki18.wordpress.com/2006/08/28/malgudi-times-dated-october-10-2005/

2814. Thanks Chaitanya,

      Did Gowri cry at least once ? Guess she thinks she’s the reincarnation of Gandhi Mahatma….

2815. Oh! Vani… Thats really a cooool guess!
      She indeed cried and CSP exactly said waht you’ve written here..! “Mathige munche Mahatma Gandhi agbedri”
      I guess, some of us can go and take over the serial from TNS and relieve him for some time 😀

2816. English professors, thanks for explaining that in detail.
      Hmm.. I got to know what a collective noun is & some more things around it. Astond grammer bagge nange gottilla. I did my schooling in a very normal school like JSS in Saraswathi puram, Mysore. adaralli English grammer ge antha ondu 100pages notebook ittidvi & I remember keeping that book for long time. namma miss KN(K Nagarathna) antha oLLE teacher, english grammer chennagi kalsidru, but nange aaga asTond artha aagirlilla. I somehow managed to learn all 8 parts of speech. namma kannada teacher PR(Prabhamani) antha, eeglu nanage nenpide, avara class nalli esTu pin drop silence antha. Sandhi, samaasa, alaMkaara.. edella I know by-heart(is this usage right?)

      Ramki, I generally dont like very obsessed fans(Upendra fans are very obsessive to quote which I dislike). en swamy nimma kathe ?? enu Guiness record maaDbeku antaana. RKN bhaktanige jai!!

      Well, I am not saying I will not read the article..Will do that sometime soon..
      About managing home & office and Marriage are two unrelated things. Not all spinsters manage home very efficiently but the converse is also not true.
      Shrimathi, I am yet to read that article, I vote for the pro-marriage & without reading the article I am saying this.. maduve anno concept nashisi hogtaa ide annodu suLLu. atleast namma bhaarata deshana aa gumpinda biDisi. illi naanu bhaarateeyaru annodanna upayogisilla. dayaviTTu gamanisi.

2817. vani,
      “Did Gowri cry at least once ” her make-up was wiped out after she cried for one whole segement!
      veena,
      i am obsessed to certain things in life. and most of you can EASILY tell what they are. and ever since i read about OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) a decade and a half ago, i feel i have it! 😉

2818. Veena,

      If i read the many messages on this subject at rediff ( pls note that the readers are from india and abroad too) it shows the frustrations of people in terms of relationship even among indians informally, the trend is here

      There are many factors affecting this
      1. Teens tend to experiment more and are allways rebels when it comes to following rules – wether it be eating junk food , dating etc upto “living in ” concept.

      2. Modern woman ( urban areas) are more educated, earning money and will not take to dishwashing /scrubbing easily ( i know many woman still do this but what about teens ?)

      3. New concepts like living in, dating even by experiment standards are overtaking in urban areas and AIDS is going to be a meter for that.

      Considering all the above i joke at home that my son ( he is 6 right now) cant get married as govt ( like arjun singh) will make it mandatory for every uppercaste to marry a designated OBC/OBxx

      In conclusion india is a global village, if the us markets catch cold, we apply bellurs amrutanjan here 🙂

      Cheers
      srimathi

2819. Naavuu ashte Veena odirodu,yenandre I got to know more about that because my job demanded it, ashte. I too remember Sandhi, Samaasa, AlankaaragaLu etc. Naanu eighth standard ninda Hindi student, but 7th nalli kannada grammar was quite comprehensive.

2820. rk narayan books and HINDOO paper odhidre, english improve aagatte antha bejaan jana helidare nanage! 😉

2821. Adyenoppa samasa naange ivathgo arthvagilla re….
      hirida+bagilu = hebbhagilu adhengreeeee..

2822. Bellur, illU RKN marketingaaa ? I don’t deny to say I have his collections like Malgudi days, The Teacher, Talkitive man, My Dateless dairy, Banker Margayya.
      HINDU na..? ayyappa. My Father in law is an ardent fan of HINDU but I find it very difficult to read that newspaper(is it a newspaper or bounded book?) so nammaneli HINDU paper baratte, I read only the suppliments on friday & sunday. They are real good ones.
      Shrimathi, nangottillamma whether its a trend or what ever. But teen nalli avaran yaaru maduve maaDko andru ? I feel 23 would be a good age to get married for girls & 27 is for boys. They will be quite matured at that time for a change called marriage. Modern woman bagge nanu comment maaDolla. I was standing in a Queue for food in our cafetaria, then I overheard one of our woman leader(she manages around 5000-6000 people say) saying “belligge nammane baaglige neeru haakovaaga… etc., etc.,”. I was very impressed & felt ashamed too…. Even I don’t do such work like washing vessels, mopping & washing and such things unless my house maid doesn’t come. so can’t comment more.

      Marriage is an institution where everybody would like to be a part of. I wrote about it couple of days back. so let me not repeat the same thing. One thing is true, sometime it may not work out for two people who are equally good what I meant is they won’t work well when combined together. I can compare it to a gear wheel, which can rotate fast when its alone but it messes up things when connected with other one. so its just how you get along. Marriage is another relationship like any other (Friendship, Father-daugter, mother-son, sister-brother). But it has more time for commitment. Generally we tend to be friends for sometime & we spend comparitively lesser time with our parents but live together with our spouses. I would like to remember that sanskrit shloka, Tvameva maatha, pitaa tvameva…(any other person to complete this pls)….

      I can just say that its all our expereince & choice. Its what you choose to do. It works this way even in professional environment. We generally decide on things looking at its + and -. I started thinking about marriage very seriously after I got my career settled(my parents were onto it when I finished my engg :-), not much a difference though!!). Its just some good experiences that made me to think through this very positively. May be the care & respect my mom used to shower on my father etc., I know lot of my friends whose parents are so nice. My inlaws, my sister, and the very much this blog owner Mr. Sanjay M. (dayaviTTu yaaru kaNNu kaakabEDi).

      There are exceptions to everything so this may not work out well for everybody for some unavoidable reasons, I can just say they are unfortunate. One thing is for sure, its in your hand to make it work too.
      Some people says it restricts you from growing professionally. Recently my manager gave me an option to fly abroad, I was already away from my family last year for about 8 months. When I asked my husband, he left it to me & I decided not to choose & I don’t repent for that decision & neither I call it sacrifice.

      Shrimathi, If you are not convinced with my words, you can ask yourself about it…. I didn’t know whether you were married, but your earlier comment said so (Though you have not said it, you spoke about your son. So I assume that its not out of live in arrangements 🙂 🙂 ooooooooops)

      Vani, can you please point to the link which dealt about working woman & that stuff.

      I am off for a meeting, so will be back by 4pm.

2823. Dear veena,
      Was just saying about the trends around us.
      AM very much married 🙂
      ( Its a very good doubt you had anyways!)
      The modern trends are extremly dangerous and hope they dont become standards of future.

2824. Veena,

      Here is the shloka for you:

      Tvameva mata cha pita Tvamwva
      Tvameva bandhu cha sakha Tvameva
      Tvameva vidya dravinum Tvameva
      Tvameva sarvam mama deva deva

      And,

      Here is the link to the article on rediff.

      http://in.rediff.com/getahead/2006/aug/25msg.htm

      be sure to scroll down that page and read the messages that have come in response.

2825. ayyo, the article is very short & the responses are very long. I don’t think I can browse through the whole of comments. Thanks for the link.

      I am yet to read that link given by Shrimathi too.

2826. veena,
      neevu adanne udda andare….what about this post and comments?
      certainly, the winner of the “longest comment list to a small post” will have to be this MUKTHA page, which has hardly 44 lines in the original post….and has 2851 comments(including this one) as on Aug.29, 2006 at 4.10 pm.:) 😉

2827. Bellur,

      Dont you think the journey between 2000 and 3000 has been faster than the journey between 1000 and 2000 comments on this page? Already we are on page 95. Maybe we are creating a record of sorts.

2828. All these numbers remind me of our great SENSEX..

2829. What wicked plan is in Mahesh’s kit today?!!
      Any guesses?
      I think he’s going to hire someone to get rid of CSP, hadiya muLLu 😉

2830. Srik,
      Mahesh can not just bump off CSP as there are others who know about the will.

      His gameplan would centre around
      a) selling off the company back dating transaction such that mahesh actually makes money by claiming ignorance of the new will.
      b) Sudden love towards chinnu so that she clings back to them … dont know if TNS can do that
      c) There may be some loop hole in execution of unregistered wills based on which he may fly out of country and control through power of attonrney ( srikanta is around anyways)

      any other thoughts..?

2831. Srimathi,

      Super idea galanne kottidira.

      Veena, I have a doubt, can’t a woman leader put water in front of her house or do her own vessels. Not only women, even men. We can hire maids as they are affordable here. Just imagine the case in the other part, where people have to do their own things as hiring maids is much nearer to the cost of hiring a consultant. I guess you were staying there sometime back, if I can remember a post of yours.

      At least I sincerely don’t feel ashamed to do those sorts of work at my home.

2832. I dont think Veena meant it that way Subbaramu, she said she was feeling ashamed that she herself was not doing those things whereas someone much senior was very much comfortable doing so; (probably she has been neglecting her home front nowadays…)No offence, Veena. If someone is acepting their weakness, it means they have great strength of mind. And I really appreciate you for being straight forward and lending a helping hand at home.

      Srimathi, Yen thale ree nimdu! Even I felt that he may liquidate the assets with back dated records. Nodona, yenagatho.

2833. I doubt it would be maheshs day today since there should be a 7 day countdown right?

      Meanwhile paris pranaya prasanga may continue with either aru+mmohan or srikanta and sharavathi scheming.

      Ajji should be back on air today 🙂

2834. I just quoted that example for the point made there about the modern woman by shrimathi. I never meant doing our work at home is something offensive/great and Woman leader shouldn’t do all these. (we tend to derive different meanings out of statements so pls don’t read between lines). Also when I say something, it doesn’t mean the converse is always FALSE.
      Thats how the Infosys cheif NRN & Sudha Murthy is projected(I am not sure on how much is this true but) great alva ? I admire both of them for their good deeds.

      Yes Vani, I meant the same way. About neglecting part, actually this is done by our house maid regularly & I do it when she takes leave(sometimes I get to know her unplanned leaves when I get back home in the night & I get excemptions on those days :-))..

      Folks I am leaving for the day. Have a nice evening!!

      Note:Till date, on 4 occasions, a hundred comments has been crossed in 3 days.(Veena’s comment made me compile the comment stats for this page.)

2836. Bellur,
      thats why I call you an encyclopedia of this group 😉

2837. Veena, Sorry if I have understood the wrong way.

      Vani, artha madisidakkagi dhanyavadagalu.

      Bellur, thanks for the statistics. We can help Sanjay achieve a record with a contribution of valid comments.

2838. Bellur that was a really cool analyis! Subburamu, thanks but its certainly isnt any achievement from me 🙂

2839. Good morning everybody! Looks like I missed a lot of discussion yesterday — that too on my favourite topic – men, women, marriage, work 😀 😉

2840. WOW !!! Amazing stats Bellur….Thanx for enlightening all of us on this 🙂

2841. Bellur sir, Can you lease out the Alma mattar that you have for next 2 weeks i need to attend interview at IBM and Accenture. :):):)

2842. Prasanna, nimma sandarshanagalu nirvighnavagi nadeyalendu ee balagadavarellara paravagi haaraisuttene.

2843. All the very best for ur interviews, Prasanna 🙂

2844. Hi Friends

      Back after a long break,

      Yellaru Shayamanthakopakhyana shravana madidra, Chandra darshana madidavarigeyella kashtagalu bandare takshana nivarane aagi , kalhagalu illadarilendu vigneshwaranalli nanna prarthane.

      Vani, (Sorry for the late comment)My observation of the artice about women /Marriage the article clearly states career woman. I personally feel theres enormous difference between working woman and career woman (Profession). I totally agree that career woman needs much more commitment and time since her field will be demanding her full time involvement in the jobs and her family life will definitely become her second priority, Its extremely difficult to manage such challenges without support of her family.

      Whereas working woman would be occupied in a job for various reasons, being educated she would want to utilise her skills, maybe support family material needs etc but ofcourse this category will always see family as priority and would discontinue in situations,

      Any man or his famiily would think twice to marry or accept a career woman , as it calls for lot of compromises. I dont think any man has problems with his wife working.

      I can think of BIOCON CEO, kalpana chawla and Kiran bedi as clasisc examples(Inspirations).

2845. Good Stats Bellur,Thx

      Prasanna… Shubha haaraike

      Nanna Guess abt Mahesh’s scheme is Chinmayi na murder madsi, adna Gowri tale mele haakbitre, Gowri Jailge hogi , Madhuvanthi legal hieress agtalalla, mathe murder trial in the court defended by CSP and funded by Shivprakash Aasthi..
      😀 😀 😀

2846. prasanna,
      good luck for your interviews.
      btw, it is ALMA MATER. it is a term used for the university one attends or has attended. another university term, matriculation, is also derived from mater. the term suggests that the students are “fed” knowledge and taken care of by the university. the term is also used for a university’s traditional school anthem. 🙂

2847. Usha,
      u turned out to be the most criminal technologist among the baLagadavaru 😉 Might happen like that 😀
      Prasanna, good luck and we’ll be waiting for that treat after the job-change 😉
      And Bellur, as always thanx for all the explainations.

2848. Did anything important happen in Muktha yday (before Vani’s update)? I could not watch it!

      MOre info about Alma Mater – literally it means “Nourishing/nurturing Mother”. — apply that to schools, and there, you have the sense in which it is used! 🙂

      By the way, observation – Gowri mathaDovaga… vaakyada modalaneya aksharavannu votthaksharavannagi maaDi maathaDutthare..
      For. e.g… Ssseeyespee avare, nnnanage aasthi beDa. Chchinnugoskara aasakti thoristhaiddini ashte. Ddayavittu idannella bittbidona… Pplease!

2849. Oh God, Usha….

      But the loop hole in that is if Gowri is jailed and Chinnu murdered, the entire property will go to a trust or “Datti”
      (That’s what I vaguely remember)so maybe Gowri will be murdered and Chinmayee ge legal guardian Madhuvanthi aagthale, and then she can enjoy the aasthi.

2850. Btw Gowri was my cousin’s classmate anthe..

2851. Wherever I go, people are discussing what Mahesh will do 🙂
      My guess is with Shrimathi – he will try to sell off the company somehow 😉

      Bellur, fantastic stats…!!

2852. Irbodhu veena, nanu ee will episodes saryagi nodilla, was busy entire week.

      Thats a good twist in the story,

2860. Hello People,

      I’ve taken too much time to post the update today. It’s a little long, too.

      Here it comes.

2861. Muktha Update

      29.08.06

      1.Mahesh and Madhuvanthi at home. Mahesh is pacing the room, agitated. The maid walks in, and asks if she can leave for the day. Madhu gives her permission. She persists to stand there and asks if she can lay the table for them so that she may serve their dinner and then leave. Mahesh snaps at her and tells her that they are not going to act according to her whims, and she may leave if she so desires. The maid has tears in her eyes and leaves. Madhu scolds him and tells him not to vent his anger over people who are not concerned. Mahesh turns to her and accuses her of spoiling everything. She tells him that she tried her level best to get CSP out of the way but she was not successful. Swamiji intervened and spoilt everything. That Swamiji is Gowri’s “Priyakara” and if he takes the will to court, it will be difficult for them. She tells him that it would be a wise decision to give Gowri her share according to the will. Anyway they would be getting 10% of the assets plus whatever land and buildings were purchased for Madhuvanthi would be theirs. She says that CSP keeps threatening that he has evidence for everything. If he gets to know that they have a hand in finishing off Annapurnamma, it is going to be very dangerous. Mahesh tells her not to worry; he doesn’t want to give up so easily. He says he is not scared of Gowri or Swamiji; they can be overpowered. It is only CSP he is worried about. He proposes that they should try to take CSP out of the way. Madhu scoffs at his idea and tells him where stronger and more powerful men like Rane and Chabbria have failed, does Mahesh think he has a chance. Mahesh then thinks for a moment and calls up Satishchandra and scolds him using foul language. He asks Satishchandra to meet him immediately.

      2.Nanjunda is reading newspaper. Gayathri brings him something to drink. She asks him if it is compulsory for him to run the floriculture business. Nanjunda is wary and asks her why she thinks so. She says why don’t we try to be independent. Gowri herself is going to work in the Matha. She has told Swamiji that she does not want to take Nanjunda’s earnings; is that right on her part. Nanjunda says somehow Sharavathi seems to be influencing you quite a bit. I hear you have been going to her often. Gayathri is sarcastic and says that his people have already started complaining. Nanjunda is angry. Gayathri goes to him and tells him that he has no respect for her. She is the punching bag for him whenever he is angry or sad. Nanjunda tells her it is not so. He had told her right at the beginning that he did not want another Sharavathi at home. He tells her how Sharavathi has divided them and poisoned his brother against them. He says that both husband and wife are opportunists and come to them when they are going to gain from being together, and run away when problems arise. He says Gowri did not have any bad intention in taking up a job and telling that they should not depend on Nanjunda’s income. She said so in Nanjunda’s own interest. Gayathri tells him that they may have been wrong in judging Sharavathi. After all, they have all grown up together and think along similar lines. She came to their house recently and her way of thinking would be different from theirs. She wishes for some comforts like every normal woman. Even I do so. That shouldn’t be construed in a wrong manner. Poverty and pennilessness makes people behave differently. They like Priyadarshini because she helps them. They dislike Sharavathi because she seeks help from them. Gayathri tells him that if Gowri were to offer Rs 1 Crore to Srikantha and Sharavathi, they would feel so happy and repentant for their actions earlier. She says that they should give some concession to Sharavathi’s behavior; in spite of this if Nanjunda feels she should not associate with Sharavathi, she will respect his wishes.

      3.Satishchandra comes to meet Mahesh. Mahesh is fuming with anger and slaps him. He asks him why he did not receive his calls for the past two days. Satish struggles with an explanation and Mahesh cuts him short. Satish tells them that he is not responsible for the will to be leaked; it is his friend. Mahesh scolds him for not taking adequate precautions. Satish proposes that they destroy the will before any action is taken. He says they could use Srikantha for that. Mahesh tells that he cannot approach Srikantha because he has behaved very rudely with him recently and even if he were to approach him, it would not be easy for them to get the will because Gowri is staying in the Matha. Satish tells that he has an idea, but Mahesh cuts him short. He paces the room for a while, and then says Gowri has a habit of going home everyday. Someone has to observe her movements. He then tells them of his idea. Sinister music is played in the background. He tells Satish to observe Gowri’s movements. Madhu is worried and asks if the idea is feasible. Mahesh assures her and tells her that it will work. He has an evil smile on his face.

2862. this might resolve the confusion:
      neene veena, vani thanthi, Avane suutradaara…

2863. sanjay, the original song is:
      Naane veene neene thanthi avane vainika, written by Kuvempu. Film:Mavana Magalu-starring Jayalalitha and Kalyan Kumar.

2864. Jayalalitha in Kannada movie?
      interesting, never knew about it.
      once again thanx wiki 😀

2865. Vani, its a great update! Thanks.
      I couldnt watch the serial yesterday properly, so was waiting for it.
      As I was browsing through it, these thoughts came to my mind : we can compile all of the daily updates from Shruti’s times to Vani’s and put them in one place, perhaps, after the serial is done with 😉

2866. Thanks a lot for the excellent update, Vani!

2870. Thanks, everyone.

      Last night, Gayathri was telling Nanjunda that Gowri must give Srikantha and Sharavathi Rs One Crore.

      It was like ” Yaardo DuDDu, Yellammana Jaathre” . I felt that her immaturity and hasty judgement of Sharavathi came forward last night.

2871. “Atte duddu Aliya Daana maDida aMta!!” innondu gaadhe to describe Gayathri’s attitude!

2872. “Agasara katthe, dombarige tyaaga” — one more gaade for the same situation 🙂

2873. Mallikarjuna swamy avra maneli heloru.. keloru yaru ilwe antha ambona, aji mathe setha lakshmi manle irtharalwe… ee daddi gayathrina gamanisokke agalwe?

      Idonthara, chappadi kallanna avra tale mele yelkolodhu antharalla haage,

      Thatha’s family hav already suffered frm CD theft , they discuss confidential things so openly and loudly that sharavathi manaages to hear all the time, probably her ears are always to the door facing uyyale 😀

      Nanjunda and thatha shld think of misleading her into some information and catch her red handed in frnt of family members to make others aware of their nature.

      Well professor & usha we really missed your comments during the last week when we spoke a lot about Working woman, Marriage, male-female notions etc., Let me initiate one.
      neevu nimma jeevanada saMgaati aarisikoLLodu hege? I mean what are the first 5 things that you would like to select in a person that you would like to marry. I would list mine.

      1. Attitude 2. Education 3. Looks 4. With good family background, preferably brought up with more siblings 5. My parents should like.

      These were my option in the same order of prirority. I think I almost got everything except 4. However we have to do a trade off alva so astond taLe kEdiskoLLilla…

      Lets talk about this now. I didn’t see much participation from the male group in our discussion, pls free to pitch in today. I have not used the term ‘Husband’ but ‘spouse’ its an implicit invitation. All unmarried folks can write about their prospective partners.

      Yesterday’s Mukta had some ‘Best scenes’ to select from. I voted for 1 for many reasons behind it. Any thoughts ??

      Have a good day,
      Veena.

2882. Any guesses about what Gowri will do? I don’t trust Mahesh – what is the guarantee that Chinnu majority ge bandamele aasthi biTTkoDthare antha? (If I have understood the terms wrong, please heLi).

      Veena, good topic of discussion… I had written a post about this some time ago… I would rather link to that, than repeat everything 🙂 — The Perfect Guy

2883. Change is the only constant thing in life!!!

      Ability of the couple to coast along despite all odds/evens is what a win – win relationship is.

      Am sorry to say that most things can change in a spouse – right from looks,money, attitude where behaviour is the only constant thing!!!

      Cheers,
      srimathi

2884. Shruthi,

      From what I gather, they want the old will to stand, ie, 60% to Chinmayee and 40% to Madhuvanthi.

      They want to make Gowri the guardian of Chinmayee. I am not sure of the end result of such an equation, though.

2885. October 3rd!!!!!!
      I guess one more court scene and the same blah blah…!
      I think TNS will never comeback to TV again, after Muktha, for, ETV has squezed every last drop of sweat out of him with Muktha, a very sad end though.

      Hats off to TNS for being succesful in keeping the interest of audience even when he himself has lost it!!

      Lets prepare to bear this saga for some more time… 🙁

2886. Vani, that’s true – but in the end, while Amma was trying to convince Gowri, she said “Avru Chinnuge aasthi kooDa biDkoDtharanthe” — oh oh oh…. she meant just then, is it? I assumed after she reached majority. Ok ok.

      Srimathi, yes, anything can change in the spouse, depending on circumstances, but the basic goodness/badness , i.e. character will not change – idu nanna opinion. [Unless he/she was acting in the beginning]

2887. Veena,
      I too voted for 1 for that scene had powerful dialogues and better display of acting skills. Tempted to vote for the last scene(Rane’s), but felt it was a bit too lengthy when compared to the first one.

      Even though IAM was all tears as usual in that scene as well, she says one line that moved me : “Neenu ShreshtaLe irabahudu, aadare nannanna nikrushTavagi kaMDAga ninna shreshtate kadime aagathe allawa?” – Felt too real for people come to concusions on only one point that I’m greater in all respects and the other person is not.
      Very well shown and enacted scene of Muktha.
      Any other view on this?

      Also, I cant comment on the life partner stuff ‘coz
      1. Im not experienced
      2. I’ve not yet thought of it!!

2888. Just a minute – what is this Scene 1, Last scene, etc, that you are talking about? Looks like I have missed something.

2889. Forgive me folks for this news but quite shocking!!

      Arjun singh is placing a new bill in parliment this sep 15th to introduce reservation in private education institutions and companys!!

      Guess our jobs are all on the chop blocks!!!

      Not much to cheer,
      srimathi

2890. Muktha Update

      30.08.06

      1. Mallikarjun Swamy’s neighbor comes with a proposal for Gowri. It is the same boy who had refused to marry Gowri couple of years ago. Amma and Ajji jump at it but Thaatha says that they need more time to think. Ajji is angry with thaatha.

      2. Ajji is upset that thaatha did not show enthusiasm at the proposal. Thaatha reminds her that this is the second time the same proposal has been put forth. He tells her that the last time the same boy refused to marry Gowri once we expressed our inability to give him a car and Rs 5 Lakhs as dowry. Amma and Ajji feel that thaatha is right, but since Gowri is now going to get lot of money and responsibility, it would be wise for them to get her married.

      3. Madhu and Mahesh come to Mallikarjun Swamy’s house. Amma, Ajji and thaatha offer them a very cold reception. They ask to speak to Gowri. Ajji tries to deny that Gowri is at home. Mahesh says that they know she’s there. Please call her. Gowri comes and they say they want an amicable solution to this dispute. They ask her to sign a relinquishment deed, wherein she has to forgo all that Annapurnamma has written for her, alongwith guardianship of Chinmayee. She will be compensated with the Dhavalagiri factory, Rs 5 Crores and Chinmayee will be handed over to her. Gowri says that she does not want anything other than Chinmayee’s safety. She feels she must ask CSP. Mahesh issues a veiled threat to them saying that it wouldnt be nice for this issue to be taken to court. Amma is immediately scared and asks Gowri to agree. Gowri thinks for a couple of minutes and agrees.

2891. I donot understand how anybody and even Gowri the ‘successful CEO’ of a multicrore company can be so innocent (rather fool). Or is it that TNS is trying to portray that ‘being innocent(& fool) means being good’. These characters are too good to be true.

2892. Ayyayyo! Naavella kelsa maadohaagilla inmelinda?

      Srimathi, Punjab nalli OBC Certificate sigodu tumba easy anthe. I’m getting tickets reserved. Barthira?

      Somehow this country is going from bad to worse.

2893. When it is the question of choosing your life partner, you should make the proper decision. (Of course, any decision in life, you must think twice.) Whether or not your partner is right for you is undoubtedly one of the most important decisions of your life, since your entire future depends on this.
      For a compatible relationship the couple should have common interests. It is also necessary to preserve your individuality and make it clear that you too have a life and ambition. The next thing that you have to look out for is whether your partner’s and your intellect match. Then, if you are a person who goes by principles and strictly follows them and your partner has no principles then there is bound to be problems in your relationship.
      Look for someone with whom you are compatible with, who has a certain level of maturity, one whom you love, adore and respect. It’s quite a complicated stage in life because you never seem to get a complete package.
      Life is too precious to be wasted, hence choose your partner carefully. Be realistic. Don’t expect, desire or wish from your partner that you cannot give. Most importantly, accept the person as he/she is.
      Look for a good human being. Both of you must trust each other, have belief and both must respect each other’s feelings. Last but not the least, be ready to compromise.
      Keep all these things in mind. Good luck to whomever concerned!

2894. That is truly shocking… but mostly aa bill pass agolla… My observation is that nowadays people are not sitting quiet, yelladakku eddu galaaTe maaDtha iddare…
      It won’t stand (I am a hardcore optimist) 🙂

      Avinash, I agree with you.

2895. Bellur, well said!

2896. Vani,
      I love bangalore so much that i dont want to leave it for anything including job 🙁

      Shruthi look at what happened to the delhi docs agitation, the superme court intervened and the nasty arjun gang have passed it already excluding unaided institutions so that supreme court can not do anything legally. Am an optimist to an extent of funding the killing of arjun and gang 🙁

      Having second thoughts of opening a local franchise for OBC certificates but telgi is still not taking my call on his cell.

      The only silver lining i see is that companies can not throw us overnight out as they already are reeling under lack of people…

      Cheers

2898. Shruti,
      they are now running a compitition for the best scene of Muktha. They’ve given us four choices.
      1. IAM and MP : MP is adamant about her stand on her mother. IAM wants to convince her daughter about the purity of her Love towards the later.

      2. Swamiji and Gowri talking about the broken marriage proposal and Gowri is sobbing with shock and Swamiji with a sorry face.

      3. Aru is getting the “Alvida” treatment from her mother. A very touching sequence.

      4. Rane speaking to the SKD over phone about his misfortune and other things.

2899. Veena , nanu Upavasa satyagraha madtha illa , Muktha Mugisokke, Somehow the situations of the serial have lost that weightage what it used to convey earlier,

      Infact Mukthagoskara ee balagadalli comment madthaidvi, eega balagadalli comment madokkoskara muktha nodtheevi, priority change agidhe annistha ide :(.

      Bellur, Very well said aboutlife partner, as long as we think broad mindedly, trust each other, be open about opinions, ambitions and expectations, lesser problems we have. Earlier i had written about space for each human being, when that space is respected and considered, each one of us will be comfortable anywhere.

      Ee reservation sthithi onthara , trishanku sthithi, atantra antharalla haage,

      howdhu shruthi, everyone should voice our opinion, even i m optimistic abt it.

      True Avinash, in this competitve world, a successful CEO cannot be so innocent ( I term it as foolish) becoz being educated i am surprised how Gowri is unable to understand the scheme of Mahesh evenafter getting cheated from him 3-4 times till now.

      Swamji peetha thyagada bagge, avranna bitu innelru decision togotaralla ?

      Btw, there is a good blog, where there are some good posts about India’s Development – I have been reading it for quite a while. If you are interested, check it out.. http://www.deeshaa.org

2902. A good sense of humour is a much sought after attribute in an individual’s character, be it in the family, work place, in case of choosing a life partner or any other sphere of life. The ability to find humor in situations and spontaneously laugh at it is important. This trait not only leads to being favourably looked upon by others, but also helps to keep you in good health and spirit. And it is well known, that a good sense of humor has long been instrumental in making a love or conjugal relationship effectively tick. A fulfilling relationship is 90% about a prevailing sense of humor in it. If the laughter decreases, then you know that the relationship is fading away quietly and steadily. Focusing on the funny side of life is essential for maintaining a healthy mind and body. People with a good sense of humor live a happy and healthy life. They are generally far better communicators than those without it. A lot of studies have shown that an ability to laugh easily and spontaneously is the key to keep life going with optimism.

2903. Shrimathi avare, I didn’t say that all these features last long or permanant . I just said these are the first five things that “I” wanted in my life partner antha & I asked to mention if “YOU” have any. So talking about what is right in this matter will be out of scope for now:-). We can discuss that too which various from person to person. Its very much a personal choice ashTe.

      Bellur & Usha(very good khannaDa), though they are so generic, they made lot of sense. The compatibility is again connected to the way you are & your prirorities & most importantly how open/flexible you are for the change & accept other’s views antha nanna annisike. I was reading my comment after I posted, I said everything got fulfilled except 4, I think I need to rephrase it. What I meant was the “preferable part of 4”.

      I think if we talk about reservations & the related things, the discussion may turn very communal . I have always noticed that these communal/language based discussion many times ends in fights(if somebody can moderate it to be healthy then ok).In a very neutral voice I can say “These are all what we sowed”, I mean the elder generation of ours sowed. Even today, the differentiation of lower communities in the village from the so called “savarneeyaru” do exist even after so much of development in bangalore(we tend to treat Bangalore as whole karnataka which is not right). So we can’t really comment taking just our scenario. The very basis of the reservation was announced to help the poor & backward who were always stamped down by the other dominant communities, Its a different story about how is it implemented & used & misused now. I am sorry If my comments hurts any specific group of people. Please don’t continue any discussion with reference to what I told here, they are purely my personal views & this can be looked at from various angles. I even saw that Premiji, NRN & other such people are not ok with this. So its not easy to bring this change so fast!! This is what my take is.

      Professor, thanks for the link, will go through & post the comments in the blog if I feel like writing anything 🙂
      Bellur, I am glad that you didn’t recommend somebody to choose a person as a life partner if & only if they have their favourite writer as “RKN”…. 🙂 🙂 🙂 & Bellur astond luxury bari love marraige nalli iratte ashTe. Arranged marriage have no option to understand the person to such a deeper extent. Maximum andre 3-4 dina tinme nalli decide maaDbeku, if you get a chance to talk to that person before your decision then its your luck ashTe.

      I feel that there are somethings which are very basic like what I have mentioned which is a vanilla icecream & if you are life partner has something more like “same hobbies(music, literature)” “same taste in food” etc., then its an additional toppings & I can call those people as fortunate. No matter, these are all acquired characters which can be developed at later stage also.

      One TRUE expereince is, I just ticked these 5 as the best things & after 3+ years of wedded life, I can now write down atleast another 5+ analysing the actual characters of my husband which I never thought would come as a bonus!!
      Srik,I will second your thought, I liked that phylosophy of that scene. We tend to have that “Ahankaara” for all the good things we have & keep telling “Naanu”,”Naanu”,”Nanna”.. I agree that atleast I have this ahankaara to some extent. but idu ok ansatte (abhimaana ok aadre durabhimaana ok alla antha nanna justification).

      Thats all your honour….

2904. Veena hats off to for having patience to write such a long one 🙂

      Sometime back when we were getting trained on how to interview and select people ( this was software techies ), they just shot each of our demo interviews and analyzed without prejudice in openhouse what should be a “good interview”

      It was pointed out with proof that we tend to select people we “LIKE” and ignore others. This “LIKE” busines went to even subtle levels like the other person wearing similar coloured attair, laughing etc..

      the bottomline for us was to checkout what the person attending the interview was CAT in and also what he/she was a RAT in

      Now if we bring this concept back to personal likes and dislikes…. where did we go wrong …our lists are growing….

      Just for fun 🙂

      cheers,

      thats an interesting concept, where do u use them, for selection or training?

2907. That was an inhouse training on how to select people… we had similar series on appraising, negotiation contract etc 🙂

2908. Hi all, I am writing after a long time. I know reservation is such a delicate issue. But I support it to a certain extent. The government might have taken this stance just to gain mileage. However, the ground reality is it is high time people are treated right. It’s only in metroes that one can see equal treatment in a class room. Just go to villages, or even towns nearby and one can notice the discriminations. Why even go there, just read Sudha Murty’s ‘Wise and Otherwise’ and one can understand the depth of poverty in our country. Perhaps this is a tool to elevate them, that is if right people chose to utilise them. Visit any of the village in Orissa, or interior Karnataka, people from lower strata are treated worse than animals. Just a fictional example, if a poor obc woman who has struggled all her life to get a place in the society and wants to improve her ‘not so brilliant’ children’s lives, then reservation is the right answer to her. Knowledge perhaps is the cure to poverty in this case. Of course, there has to be an emphasis on who redeems these reservation coupons.
      No offense meant.

2909. Hi Rao,
      With no offences meant

      a) As former PM Mr Rajiv gandhi accepted , out of every rupee government shows spent on such people, 13 paise reach them… so at what cost is these coupens will be redeemed? What are the actual benifits v/s actuals given former PM’s words in parliment?

      b) Agreeing to your words aka gowri accepting maheshs latest offer, whats the nonsence of reserving jobs in private sector too? should people like me just because we are in urban india die from poverty and then justice is done?

      c) Ambedkar, pandit nehru all have said 15 years is enough for reservatins…do you still belive after all these 50+ years it will work again?

      Sad thoughts with true feelings,
      srimathi

2910. Intersting comments. Usha illu nimma HR buddina ? yellO upayogistaare biDi shrimathi avara office nalli 🙂
      Video shoot maadodu its quite common in corporate trainings.

      Professor, for some reason aa post nalli “Leave a comment” annodu kaaNista illa, so I will write my comment here itself on the perfect guy post. Chennagi bardideera. Very nice ! 8 choice annbiTTu idd baddid(Phoentic literary people pls forgive me to kill kannaDa here) ella bardiyoda?? Glad to see that you are fortunate in that matter. I was laughing at myself when I read the eighth one. You said how people will adjust if their spouse “snores”.. Ha Ha ha.. I was/(am?) the victim but got used to it. I generally don’t get disturbed if I have already slept before he, but its difficult if its the other way round. Its terrible if I am either reading or browsing sitting next to him (Generally I read/browse sitting on the bed sometimes in irregular postures which I get cautioned about).

      I told you right, how flexible you are for the change also matter. However there was an option given to me that this can be avoided by getting some surgery done(they operate some kirunaalige or something below that), I didnt feel its worth :-):-):-)

      Rao avare , nimma english tumba chennagide. I saw so many things which are similar to what I wrote but the words used are really “excemplary”….

2911. True srimathi

      more than reserving jobs for people to come and occupy one day, we should introduce ways and means to elevate from their levels of awareness through means of basic facilities, free (quality)education and not additcting them for votes(with liquor ) etc, which any government should do.

2913. Thanks for your comment Veena. Srimathi, I do not have statistics or any numbers with to defy your point. But yes, I do stand by the fact that mindsets have to be changed in the social scenario. That’s why I emphasised that the right people should utilise this opportunity and there should be an ombudsman to supervise this. Yes our leaders said that 15 years is enough reservation, but that is a macro view.
      They laid out the rules, but no one ever went inside the psyche of Purushasuktha-oriented (Manu Smriti) Indian, and changed it. To change that, one needs 100 years perhaps. Ambedkar should have understood this if not anyone.

2914. Usha avere,
      You have made me some noble person saying gnana dhare etc… that is absolutely not true. Am more like a tube in a tubelight.

      Chers,
      srimathi

2915. Thank you, Veena. Nange aa page nalli “Post a comment” antha kaaNistha ideyalla..anyway…
      That “snoring” thing was added as a light touch.. my mom had asked me for a list of things i want in my future spouse… and I had made a list of her. Once, when spending a weekend at my cousin’s place, I could not sleep the entire night because both the cousins snored. Next morning I called up my mother and told her, add one more thing to the list “The boy should not snore” 🙂 🙂 …. anyway actually how can you make out? Even after I met and got to know S, it was only after I accepted to marry him, that i asked him, “By the way, do you snore?” antha 🙂

2916. About reservation, there is one concept that can be used, if put into action well. There should be reservation, but only for one generation. i.e. If your father has benefited from reservation, then it means that he has already had the opportunity to come up in society, and so you do not need reservation.
      Idu implement maaDodu kashTa, but I feel this is the right thing to do.

2917. Thanks for your comments Rao and understand your feelings towards a fellow being. Being optimistic somebody,someday will come along and bestow equality magnanimously on all of us and there we rest our case…peace amen.

2918. Folks,

      Reservation bagge nanna stance yeradu maathalli tilisibidthini.

      True Su, I have to give some (quite a bit) credit to what you say about reservation. But what is happening in reality is quite shocking. NDTV interviewed high profile politicians belonging to OBC quota, and almost all of them have declared assets of over 25 Lakhs; they are demanding reservation for their children. is it ethically right?

      I spoke to a couple of priests in the temple near my place, and their one month’s salary is something that most of us may earn in 3-4 days. Their children have to struggle only because they do not have any “quota” tag.

      I feel that reservations are very much essential, but base it on economic strength rather than caste.

      I feel it is a cheap tactic by the government to woo the minority vote bank.

      Veena, Rao paravagi naanu thanks heLthini. She is a media person with specialization in communication (and I am very proud to say she is my cousin)

2919. People,

      My Vote for the best scene in Muktha:

      1. Rane’s conversation with SKD

      2. IAM and MP ‘s confrontation

      3. Gowri -Swamiji’s confrontation

      (I dont want to rate Aru’s BeeLkoduge scene …it is no where in comparison to the above three)

2920. The message from IAM to MP is the one and only greatest scene in my limited knowledge as it brings out ones “forgiveness” feature which is one of the most importent qualities of a human being i suppose.

2921. Srimathi, that someone, someday can be you or me and today. At least tomorrow. Alva? Bere yaaro maado badlu navu nevu seri day to day karyagalalli ee discrimination alisibidona. Enanthira?

2922. Madam Su,

      Nimma benglur bhajane bari baayi maathalle saagide. Ee kade barona antha mansalle illa.

2923. Now one more reservation bill for the next year.
      PM manmohan singh has plans to introduce Bill for women’s quota in next session of Parliament 🙂 🙂

      There are so many quota bills now-a-days.. should we not fix a quota for introducing such bills 🙂

      Rao avre… we give you the choice to lead us in this transformation business with full tanu, mana ( dhana is pending for myself!)

2924. Oh ivaru “Su” Rao avara ? Marthogidde, I thought some male person. Generally females doesn’t keep their last names as their nick names, & in kathe kaadambari I remember reading “Mr. Rao” & I don’t see anything like “Ms. Rao” or something similar. Instead “Ms. Madhavi”, “Mr. Mangala” or more commonly used 🙂 That was on a lighter note, pls don’t feel otherwise.

      Rao avare, Ene heLi nimma ideas nange tumba ishTa aaytu. bari baayi maatalli comments maaDde, It can be you me & that day is today andralla adu. I see many of us are less action oriented but bari maatalle hoTTe tumbisodu. I remember my friend who is an english literature person & a vidhwath bahratnatyam first ranker(Dr. Vasundhara doreswamy’s student) who speaks something similar to this. Why not we antha. She is born on June 5th which is World environmental day adakke coincidental aagi she is too much a environment friendly lady with very wise & humble ideas. she doesn’t hesitate to talk to some unknown people and influence not to use the plastic covers for carry bags etc., Also she has no fridge at home because of its ill effect to o-zone layer & she thinks hundred time to buy any electronic gadget because she doesn’t like to increase the e-waste. She scold me if I buy a lays chips at shop, not because its a junk food but because of the packaging material we waste. and the list grows…

      naavella maximum article bareeteevi comments bareetivi, aadre kaarya roopakke tarodu kaDime(not zero percent may be very less). We ought to convince ourselves saying ” naavobru maaDidre en desha uddara aagatta” & continue doing our mistakes/bad practices.

      Guys, somebody commented that few of Mukta characters are very unrealistic & nice to have antha. Read the comments from bottom & you get to see lot of them here, somebody says “Gnaanadhaare” & somebody denies & compares onself to tube in the tubelight… That answers!!
      naanu maatra public naali opkoteeni that I don’t have all such good features like being humble, dedicated, jumba illada etc., but sathva, raja & tamas(is this correct? nalli I can say I can categorise myself to the middle one of it.

2926. All,
      I wanted to quote my observations on the issue of reserations, so started writing, but it became too long to fit in here,
      I didnt want to get ur illwill for making u read a big essay in place of a comment 😉
      So, I’ve added it on my page and am leaving a pointer here. Please go there and read my points also.
      I agree with others that these percentages is not going to take India any where.
