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 🙏

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!

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.

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

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!

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).

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.

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!

Whenever I watch a young Vedic scholar chant mantras perfectly, I imagine how blissful the environment would have been, on the banks of Sindhu or Saraswati 5000+ years ago! Glad that in spite of all wars & destructions, Dharmic mathas like Sringeri, retained this tradition 🌄

Dear PM Narendra Modi - We all remember how a small minority of Indian farmers from Punjab and surroundings thwarted the extremely helpful Farm Bills four years ago. Please listen to this long brinjal farmer from Karnataka. 11 tons of brinjal. ₹3000 on hand after expenses. Tens of 1000s of loss 😔 He says he is getting just ₹4 per KG from government run APMC, while the same government-run agri stores are selling at ₹33 per kg to end customers. Please help such real farmers with a new bill. Give them a choice beyond APMC. Really sad to hear him articulate (which he has done marvelously well)😔 I don't know him personally, but he has royally exposed the politicians who opposed your revolutionary agricultural reforms.

You want to try your first Scuba dive in India? Here is a great option that I really enjoyed.. ❤️💦 Netrani is a heart shaped island near Murudeshwara (third largest Shiva statue in the world), in Karnataka. Takes 90 minutes on the boat. > Safe 25-40 feet depth. > 1000s of purple, red, blue fish. > Small valleys of sea reefs. > Warm water. > Maybe Dolphins if lucky on the way. > 20-30 minutes under water. Great experience. Netrani is the place where Lord Hanuman rested when he was flying to save Lakshmana in Ramayana times. Go for it. Highly recommended for beginners! Bonus? You get to float or swim in deep waters for 2 hours while others are doing scuba. Siddarth Pai Bharath Suryaprakash 🇮🇳 and I were there for 2 hours 👌 With Scuba glasses you can do snorkeling kind of observations from the top. Loved it. Where? We used Aqua Ride Adventures at Murudeshwara. Fantastic service - good helpful divers, clean, fruits/banana, decent boat / instructions, nice underwater videos/pictures.

This is how we started our 10th #DeepawaliWithFireworks event for 2025, in Bengaluru. Once again spoke to students on Operation Sindoor. They cheered. 130 very well behaved girls. Bags of Pataki. Careful volunteers. 90 minutes of absolute fun! 600+ kids reached so far 🎇
