Talent On Show Chithrakala Parishad

I generally avoid them because , in most cases, these are shows where people with very minimal talent trying to get exposure on the only qualifications they have are Money and Influence.

This impression is because of my visit to some Arangetrams of Dance programmes.

I was proved wrong.

What was on display was a Collection of Paintings , belonging to various Genre,Penile,Charcoal, Water Colors, Oil Painting.

Though not a connoisseur of Arts, I enjoy if some thing looks good.

Another interesting feature of this show is the fat that most of them are Amateurs, women with a Family to take are.

The Neglect Of Kannada Language

It will be obvious to any one living in Karnataka,while in Bangalore it is the Telugu,Tamil and North Indian Community leading the Population, you will find the Belgaum area calling Maharashtra is Their Home, Raichur, Gulbarga, Bidar as belonging to Old Hyderabad,South Canara and Kodagu stating that Kannada has dominated and ruined their language,Mysore remains an Island of sorts,Hubli,Dharwar not really bothering about the rest of the State!

Part of the mistake lies in governance,because people in Bangalore think, Bangalore is Karnataka and all the developmental activities are focused in the area with a bit thrown out for Mysore.

Net result is that you do not find as any second cities as in Tamil Nadu, which has Madurai,Tiruchi,Salem,Tirunelveli,Erode,Coimbatore.

People can recall Mysore,Brindavan Gardens,Hampi,Beluru,Halebid,Sravana Belagola,aprt from Bangalore in Karnataka

You may notice that these are essentially tourist spots of interest.

The sad part or the heartwarming fact is that Kannada is at least 2000 years old, if not older, a classical language of India and is spoken by at least 38 Million people.

Yet I find Kannada speaking people in Public a rarity in Bangalore!
