CORONA VIRUS - COVID19

 Saturday, 24th April 2021

It is more than a year since the world is suffering from the Pandemic CoronaVirus.

December 2019, virus started from city of Wuhan in China and spread all over the world and the disease called COVID 19.

Lakhs of people died due to this virus all over world and still after a year, the pandemic is not under control and people are dying and getting infected.

India, went through series of Lockdowns since March 2020, Airports were closed, flights were cancelled, trains stopped running, buses, shops, restaurants, shopping malls, cinemas closed. It was terrible time. Temples were closed, social, religious functions were banned.

Number of companies closed, people lost their jobs and started returning to their native place, work from home culture started.

FIRST DOSE OF COVISHIELD VACCINE 17/3/2021

After about four to five months of this ordeal, Unlock process have started, slowly life started returning to normal. 

I have been to one of the TECH PARK, where number of software companies were established, nice buildings, infrastructure but hardly few people for security. 

The food court, where employees were rushing to have their favorite food one time, was looking like ghost place, abandoned. Very sad.

SECOND DOSE OF COVISHIELD VACCINE 16/4/2021

Covaxin and Covishield vaccines have come and Government is doing their best to reach these to people. First it was the turn of Corona warriars, then to senior citizens and then general public. 

Now since April 2021, after a year of virus spread, situation has worsened, more and more people are getting Covid positive.

Now again the Central and State Governments are imposing semi-lockdown restrictions to contain the situation. There is also cry of shortage of beds, oxygen supply and ventilators.

The main thing to take care is STAY HOME, STAY SAFE.

WEAR FACE MASK, MAINTAIN PHYSICAL DISTANCE, AND WASH HANDS FREQUENTLY.

We pray God to bring the situation back to normal as soon as possible and continue their normal activities.

SARVE JANAH SUKHINO BHAVANTHU.

GOD BLESS.

LAHARI BHAT /SAMHITA RAO- DANCE

Monday, July 6, 2020
Facebook live performance.

The two upcoming dance artists Lahari Bhat and Samhita Rao presented 30 minute beautiful dance performance at "NATYASUNADA ANKURA" organized by NADAMRUTHA" live program.

The two girls performance was superb, co-ordinated movements, grace, expressions and presentation. It was very soothing to watch they perform.

Due to lockdown and COVID19 situation, many of the programs are performed live, so that people can watch sitting at home. Thanks to the organizers who take pain to keep the art live, so that children can enjoy and perform.

Dance "GUMMANA KAREYIDIRE" by Lahari Bhat was excellent.

I wish the girls a bright future, and LAHARI BHAT , I am proud to say is my daughter Shubha's daughter.

VIRTUAL MEETING - DUBAI FRIENDS

Sunday, 12th April 2020

Birthimane, Bengaluru.

About twenty years ago, when I was working in Dubai, we had a group of like minded friends.

We used meet very often in parties, picnic, New Year get-togethers etc and it used to spend  wonderful time.

As the years passed, children grew up, some people drifted to different places, some relocated to Bangaluru and settled in their homes.

Technology brought us together once again, to see and talk in a group through ZOOM app, with video communications.  Sudhaker Rao Pejavar in Dubai brought us together to the virtual informal meeting.

1. Sudhaker Rao Pejavar and Latha in Dubai

2. Dr K N Mohan and Satyavathi in Bengaluru

3. Sudheer Vaidya and Rajashree in Belgaum,

4. Suresh and Usha Cukkemane in Mysuru

5. S V Bhat and Asha Bhat in Bengaluru,

6. Janardhan and Mangala in New Jersey, USA

7. B K Nagaraj and Nagalakshmi in Edison, USA

8. M G Prasad, in Bengaluru,

9. We, Jayarama Somayaji and Nalini in BirthiMane, Bengaluru.

It was a very pleasant one hour virtual get-together, seeing and talking, updating family matters, knowing about their welfare, children getting married like Rishi, Akshatha and Arjun (Janardhan's children).

Thanks to Sudhaker Rao. 

We all "STAY HOME, STAY SAFE, SAVE LIVES"  due to COVID19, Coronavirus.

KAVALU - (ಕವಲು) Dr. S L Bhayrappa

Sunday 12th April 2020

ಭಾರತೀಯ ಸಮಾಜದಲ್ಲಿ "ಕವಲುದಾರಿ" ಹಿಡಿಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಮೌಲ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಹೃದಯ ಕಲಕುವಂತೆ ಶೋಧಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಸಮಕಾಲಿನ ಜೀವನಕ್ಕೆ ಕನ್ನಡಿಯಾಗಿರುವ ಕಾದಂಬರಿ .

"ಓದಿದ ಗಂಡಸರೆಲ್ಲ ಎಂಗಸರಾಯ್ತರೆ, ಓದಿದ ಎಂಗಸರೆಲ್ಲ ಗಂಡಸರಾಯ್ತರೆ"...

Pathetic story medium industry owner Jayakumar, cheated by woman Mangala and finally Jayakumar lost all his industry and also becomes jobless.

Jayakumar and his wife Jayanthi put their money and effort together to build an industry and was doing very well, progressing, becoming international, selling products. They also have a mentally retarded child, slow learning.

Tragedy struck when Jayanthi died in a car accident, and Jayakumar had to run the industry. After some time, his urge for sex made him to take his secretary Mangala home, enjoyed with her without protection, as she said nothing will happen. That turned out to be his costly mistake and got entangled with women liberation group, who forced him to marry her. She blackmails poor Jayakumar and demands all facilities and comforts.

In the meantime there are other issues like University reader Ila madam, having affair with rich politician and exploits him, Jayakumar's wife's brother Nachiket working in US, living together with a woman, leaving him after two years, and again he marries a divorcee and had to give his earning to her as she also divorced him.

Jayakumar, had to spend sometime in lockup due to complaints from Managala as she was treated badly and he was not able to give her sexual comfort.

Indian Laws are very much in favour of women to protect their rights, but it is silent on women who misuse this to their interest and lead a comfortable life.

ಕೈಯ ತೊಳೆಯಿರೋ , ಎಲ್ಲರೂ  ಕೈಯ ತೊಳೆಯಿರೋ
ಕೈಯ ತೊಳೆಯಿರೋ, ಆಗಾಗ   ಕೈಯ ತೊಳೆಯಿರೋ ||

ಹಸ್ತ ಲಾಘವ ಮಾಡಬೇಡಿ, ಆತ್ಮೀಯರಾದರು ಅಪ್ಪ ಬೇಡಿ,
ಎಲ್ಲರ ಮುಂದೆ ಸೀನ ಬೇಡಿ, || ಕೈಯ ತೊಳೆಯಿರೋ ||

ಕರಗಳ ಜೋಡಿಸಿ ಸ್ವಾಗತ ಮಾಡಿ, ಆದರದಿಂದ  ಆಸನ ನೀಡಿ,
ದೂರದಿಂದಲೇ ಮಾತನಾಡಿ   || ಕೈಯ ತೊಳೆಯಿರೋ ||

ತಿನ್ನುವ ತಿನಿಸು ಬಿಸಿಯಾಗಿರಲಿ , ಅರಸಿನ ಶುಂಟಿ ಜತೆಯಲೆ ಇರಲಿ,
ಮುಸುಂಬಿ ಲಿಂಬೆ ಇದ್ದೆ ಇರಲಿ,  || ಕೈಯ ತೊಳೆಯಿರೋ ||

ಕೋವಿದ್ ಬರಲಿ, ಕರೋನ ಬರಲಿ,
ಗೋವಿಂದನ ದಯೆ ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಇರಲಿ ,
ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣ ಸಮಾಜ ಒಂದಾಗಿರಲಿ,  || ಕೈಯ ತೊಳೆಯಿರೋ ||

ಸುಧಾಕರ್ ರಾವ್ ಪೇಜಾವರ್ , ದುಬೈ.

STAY HOME STAY SAFE - FIGHT CORONAVIRUS

5th April 2020
Birthimane, BhuvaneshwariNagara, Bengaluru.

The country is fighting COVID19, CORONAVIRUS pandemic and the Central Government has declared unprecedented  21 day INDIA LOCKDOWN from March 25 to April 14, 2020

The action is very tough for a country, where it will have severe effect on economy and general life. Only essential services are available, Trains, Flights, Buses are stopped, unnecessary movement are curbed, people are asked to STAY HOME, STAY SAFE, SAVE LIVES.

Western countries and Europe are paying heavy prices, death toll is increasing everyday, hospitals are not able to manage the sick people are dying on the roads, very sad situation.

ದೀಪ ಮಂತ್ರ (ಓಂ ತಮಸೋಮ ಜ್ಯೋತಿರ್ಗಮಯ)
ಶುಭಂ ಕರೋತು ಕಲ್ಯಾಣಂ ಆರೋಗ್ಯಂ ಸುಖ ಸಂಪದಾಂ
ಶತ್ರು ಬುದ್ಧಿ ವಿನಾಶಾಯ ದೀಪಕಾಯ  ನಮೋಸ್ತುತೆ 
ದೀಪೊಂರ್ಜ್ಯೋತಿ ಪರಬ್ರಹ್ಮ, ದೀಪೊಂ ಜ್ಯೋತಿ ಜನಾರ್ಧನ 
ದೀಪೊಂ ಹರತುಮೆ ಪಾಪಂ ಸಂಧ್ಯಾ ದೀಪ ನಮೋಸ್ತುತೆ 

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking tough decision to control the virus and save lives. There was JANATA CURFEW on 22nd March and at 5 pm all are asked to clap hands and make sound with anything available (Conch, Jagante, Taala, or a metal plate) to express solidarity and thank the Doctors, health workers and other essential service staff.

On Sunday, 5th April, Prime Minister asked the all 1.3 billion (130 crores)people of India to come out from their houses after switching off the lights and "9 MINUTES9PM", light candles, deepa, diya as symbol of solidarity to fight the pandemic CORONAVIRUS.

People came out in large numbers, except for Modi haters, who find fault with everything that Modi does or takes decision in the interest of the nation and its people.

As such we also joined the LIGHTING program on 5th April, at 9 pm for 9 minutes.It was like a campaign to fight the virus and pray for welfare of the people.
