Dr Vishwanath Kedlaya

A shocking news this morning is the passing away of young Dental Doctor, in mid fifties, due to cardiac arrest.

He is elder son of Late Prabhakar Kedlaya (my mother's, brother's son), and Vatsala. There were in Abudhabi, Dubai, He is survived by his wife Krupa and son Abhinav.(14 years)

He also worked as Dentist at Bandar Seri Bhagavan, Brunei, for some years and about five years ago he returned to Bengaluru and established a Dental Clinic at Banashankari/Jayanagara.

We have attended so many functions with the family and he was quite a God fearing person and was taking care of parents with sincerity.

Sometimes I feel, Fate is so cruel, it takes away people who are hale and healthy and people who are suffering with ailments continue to suffer.

Your leaving this material world Vishwanatha, feeling very very sad....

Pray for your soul to rest in peace, and God Almighty give strength to the family to bear this loss.

Om Shanthi....

#36 SATHI SAVITRI NIVASA - KANNADA DRAMA

 Saturday, April 4, 2026

Ranga Shankara, J P Nagara, Bengaluru

#36 Sathi Savitri, Kannada Play is hilarious, good punching dialogues and acting is written and directed by Karthik Hebbar.

His recent play 36 Sati Savitri Nivasa happening today at 7:30 p.m. in Ranga Shankara, J.P. Nagar is a lighthearted feminist story. The play chronicles the lives of three middle-class women as they go through important milestones in life. What happens to the lives of women leading a predictable life when it is turned upside down due to an unusual candidate taking residency in their middle-class apartment? This is a play about sisterhood, old age, loneliness and friendship. It is also an ode to all the chaos that adds beauty to the lives of these women, including television serials and cinema. There is music, some dancing and loads of madness in this tribute to women and their strength in this patriarchal society that we dwell in.  

The play enacted by renowed theatre artists Dr Seetha Kote (Sharadamma), Deepika Aaradhya (Jayamma)Yashaswini Chennaih (Saroja) Divyashree and Vishak Bharadwaj.

The housefull Ranga Shankara Auditorium, people mostly senior citizens were bursting with laughter for dialogues and acting of artists. The songs and dances by girls/boys were very entertaining. The mimic of TV ads were very good.

It was after a long time, we were going to Ranga Shankara for watching a play and it was very refreshing. Returned home after tiffin at Rajatadri Resturant by Wuber Taxi.
