My respect for Sri Lanka went up immensely. It is not a developed western country. In fact 100 Indian Rupees gets 330 SL Rupees. You have an advantage. But the civic sense, customer service, cleanliness, driving sense... Outstanding! Even remote roads are well maintained.

There is a very rare Ganapati temple in Karnataka. Guddattu, near Kundapura. Here Vinayaka is Swayambhu formed in a rock. He always needs to be immersed in water. So three times a day, water is drawn from a well and poured over vigraha. Almost 1000 pots per day! Incredible 🙏

You can do a 5 km roundtrip run on the Ragi Gudda to Silk Board Flyover. Feels like VIP when the whole flyover is "blocked" for your run 😀 This morning, a good 14 km road run, incl 5 km on this "forever under construction" flyover. At least someone used tax money used here. 🤔

If you visit Kundapura in Karnataka, take a boat ride to see dolphins in the sea. Nice jumps during morning. Same boat takes for a mangrove ride in Pancha Gangavali. It refers to the estuary where 5 rivers meet before entering sea - Souparnika, Varahi, Kedaka, Chakra & Kubja.

During our Sabarimala Ayyappa yatra, friend Adi forgot his mobile phone in the train. Not only the Railway officials tracked the phone, but they handed it over 60;km away in the next station! Thanks for setting a high standard in Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw and V. Somanna

I was talking to a farmer from Gadag district of Karnataka. He has not gone to high school. But explained in simple terms, how PM Fasal Bima Yojana works. Franky, I wasn't sure if this crop insurance scheme helps farmers much. But it does help very well. He claimed five times!

People say a quality vacation in India is expensive. Better to go to Thailand or Vietnam. I differ. We had a fantastic 3 day New Year's private beachfront vacation near Kundapura in Karnataka. Just a few ₹1000s per day! All inclusive, Bengaluru to Bengaluru ✔️ DM for info

ZojiLa Tunnel is in the news today, as the world's longest single-tube bi-directional road tunnel at the highest altitude of 11,578 ft. Here is a video I made in 2018, over the same mountain. You will know why this all weather tunnel is so crucial between Srinagar and Kargil!

Saptapadi or seven steps in Sanskrit, is the most important part of a Hindu wedding. These 7 steps solidify the couple's marriage. Each step represents a specific vow from Vedas. This Pandit explains each step so meaningfully! (Received from a relative. Credit to unknown).

One Nation, One Time is a Modi government initiative to mandate and synchronize the use of Indian Standard Time across all legal, administrative, commercial, and digital sectors. Thanks Pralhad Joshi for this AtmaNirbhar Bharat initiative! India is now deploying ultra-precise atomic clocks, which lose only one second every few million years, across five Regional Reference Standard Laboratories - Amdavad, Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Faridabad and Guwahati. Basically dependence on US-based GPS NTP servers are being replaced with indigenous Indian atomic clocks, Network Time Protocol, and advanced White Rabbit technology.

The next time you are in Hasan in Karnataka, don't miss Kondajji - Lakshmi Varada Raja Swamy temple. 4 feet till pedestal or peetha. 11 feet Vishnu Murti. Has carvings even on the back side. 900+ year old. From Hoysala Kingdom times. Similar stone as Ram Lalla of Ayodhya!

About 90 km east of Bengaluru is a fabulous Rama Lingeshwara temple. From Nolamba and Ganga dynasties period. Around 1100 years old. I had never seen in the same temple complex, huge Shiva Lingas installed by Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata (north side) and Shatrughna. Very unique!

In 2026, the mother of trade deals was done after 18 years of delay. Hopefully the father of all flyovers will be open for traffic after years of wait 🙂 And let me explain some geopolitics that happened since our tax money was spent to build this legendary Bengaluru road.
