Every time I pass near this upcoming giant statue of Basavanna, my first observation is the two sintex water tanks behind statue-head.
It makes me laugh at the absurdity of playing “who’s statue tallest?”, with the guy that said ದೇಹವೇ ದೇಗುಲ

Happy to see my sorekai, majjige huli, kosambari and bakri on the menu. All part of a plebeian gastronomic routine in my part of the country. The comment here is nothing but a charred idea. It lacks sensitivity, a bit raw and uncooked. The President of India has not just served palatable Indian food but a very delicious one, whose angrezi appellations may sound a tad exotic. Mr. Deve Gowda’s humble ragi balls was strange too in 1996 for the Delhi elite, until the millet fad made it fashionable. There is no global or Indian cuisine. They are all local. They belong somewhere. “What does the non-local amount to other than airline timetables,” wrote Granta’s Ian Jack! @rashtrapatibhvn@DrSJaishankar@MEAIndia
I used to eagerly wait for Sundays just to read Ravishankar’s column ಒಳನೋಟ during my highschool days. I learned so much from it. Looking forward to this episode.
Our next @mundhebanni episode features N Ravishankar, founder of Aim High Consulting, one of India’s premier PR firms, having worked with 500 clients across 200 categories, including 18 unicorns like Flipkart, Swiggy, and Ola.
Ravi has three distinct sides:
1. A founder who built and ran a leading company with strong industry presence.
2. An author and columnist deeply engaged with Kannada literature.
3. An ecosystem enabler with a ringside view of India’s startup journey over the past two decades.
We explored his journey from Mysuru, the story of building a PR firm, and his early experiences with Flipkart - from a small Koramangala office to a billion-dollar company.
He shared practical insights and playbooks for founders: navigating the early journey, pivoting, go-to-market strategies, choosing the right co-founder, and more.
What makes this episode special is Ravi’s conversational style, enriched with beautiful Kaggas from DVG. You will find them really engaging.
This one feels different - Ravi isn’t just a founder; he’s someone who shaped the ecosystem while growing within it.
Trailer dropping soon. Full episode this weekend.
The irony is ppl who stay in Nagasandra /around IKEA when they want to travel to Hassan /Shimoga/ Hubballi and other northern districts of Karnataka, had to travel all the way to Majestic to catch a KSRTC bus . It takes good 40 mins early morning to reach KBS and again 45 mins come to Parle toll provided you get the bus on time early morning..
Post 8 AM , it takes so much of time ! We don’t have a good satellite bus stop around Jalahali cross or Dasarahalli so that people can go there and board the bus . Redundant Basaveshwara bus stop classic example of how satellite bus stop should not be ! It’s stopped working long ago .
Sad to see people in Goraguntepalya Outer Ring Road bus stop,Jalahalli Cross , 8th mile bus stops , ppl just chase buses to board and no seat to avail . Thanks to free bus scheme which made even worse .
I request @RLR_BTM to open satellite bus terminal covering these areas so that commuters are not punished with painful travel. It will provide much needed relief to people who travel to northern parts of Karnataka as it’s been neglected from a long time .
