Choose any language Mr. Modi , but give the same freedom to us also !

According to the latest news report; during the post swearing ceremony meetings ; Modi communicated in Hindi with foreign dignitaries.
This is seen as new trend setting and as positive message in social media. Some of the media reports has even misquoted Hindi as national language whereas we don't have any such mention in our constitution.  

While Modi is free to talk in whatever language he wishes to, at the same time his government should ensure that Hindi imposition on Non-Hindi states stops.
All languages in this country should be treated as equal and state government should get the freedom to decide in what language they want to interact with central government instead of limiting option to just two languages.

Right now, the Official Languages Act needs to be revisited and ensure that all 22 scheduled languages become the official languages of the Indian Union. 
This would be good measure since unnecessary focus on Hindi is threatening the linguistic diversity and creating barriers for non-Hindi states in terms of employment, mobility etc.

On a side note, this move has left the Srilankan PM furious.Srilankan PM doesnt even know that there is a language by name Hindi ;-)

What do Kannadigas .... at?

5 things in which Kannadiga's are bad and need to improve leaps and bounds!  If we like to be seen as considerable force in coming days rather than race which is open hearted, soft, generous etc ; then read further ! else , be the way you are and stop cribbing about things around you . 5. Talking out in a crowd / just being loud / hanging out together as a group Generally, we are shy , generous creatures who are happy if someone takes the responsibility. We are happy even if someone takes the cake too! (we are generous , you see ;-) ) We tend to get scared of the repercussions of talking out in a crowd or we are too polite to talk out loud in a corporate setting. Also, we dont like to be seen as Kannada fanatic ; therefore we like to have a global approach while making friends or choosing the group. Most of us would like/try to make friends with all other linguistically dominant people. Try to become one among them by speaking macha .. , machi .. ,  bechan ..

coming soon!! "RIP-KFI", a different movie

Image
For some years I had left watching Kannada movies since I didn’t want to get inspired and become a another long machu seena or maada of Kalasipalya.... A few of my friends who are keen abt KFI insisted me to watch Mungaru male and Duniya.. These movies made me realize that there is still some talent left in the Industry. Also, these were movies which made me gain back my interest in Kannada films...Later ‘Aa dinagalu’ and Milana came out, I think I got a feeling that industry is bouncing back........ after these so many movies came out.. BUT .. A film industry which has seen 75+ years of existence and still struggling shows that there is something wrong. The general perception is that quality of Kannada films is slipping day by day and the market is shrinking also. Where are the theaters in Majestic road? We have to get innovative, not look for dvds of successful Tamil, Telugu films. ;-) Life in Karnataka provides enough fodder for script writers, just look around.

Why do Kannadigas lack in entrepreneurship?

We all might have faced this q in our life time. Why is that SP road in Bengaluru is filled with Bohara muslims, marwadi's and mostly non-Kannadiga's? Why do most of the street side vendors selling various goods are from Tamil nadu in majority of cases?  What do Kannadiga's do for a living apart from working as tailor, real estate agent, grocer shop owner or so on!  Why is it so hard to find a distributor or super stockist who is a Kannadiga?  The answer to most of these questions could be ' lack of entrepreneurship spirit ' in most of Kannadiga's.  Before you jump on to me, telling " yen ri, iddarali yenu hosadu idhe.." or " nivu helo haage navu yenu kelasa bittu haanu hoovu tarakari marabeka?" (I am not asking all Kannadiga's to become road side vendors or set up hardware shops, but we cant ignore the fact that these people have built enterprises which do huge turnover in our supply chain and economy ) As per m
