Cha (Tea)
ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ಎದ್ದ ತಕ್ಷಣ 80 % ಜನರು ಕುಡಿಯುವ ಚಹಾ-ಕಾಪಿಯ ಪುರಾಣ ಯಾರಿಗಾದರೂ ಗೊತ್ತಾ ??
ಅಷ್ಟಾದಶ ಪುರಾಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ 19ನೇ ಪುರಾಣವಾದ ತಲೆಹರಟೆ ಪುರಾಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಪೇಯಪರ್ವದ 420 ನೇ ಶ್ಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಚಹಾದ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖವಿದೆ. "ನಭಯಂ ಚಾಸ್ತಿ ಜಾಗೃತಃ " ಅಂದರೆ ಚಾ ಕುಡಿದವನಿಗೆ ಯಾವ ಭಯವೂ ಇಲ್ಲ ಅವನು ಸದಾ ಜಾಗೃತನಾಗಿರುತ್ತಾನೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಲಾಗಿದೆ .ಅದರ ಸಂಕ್ಷಿಪ್ತ ವಿವರಣೆಯನ್ನು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ
ವನವಾಸ - ರಾವಣ ಸಂಹಾರ - ಪಟ್ಟಾಭಿಷೇಕ ಎಲ್ಲ ಆದ ನಂತರ ರಾಮ ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಹೀಗೆ Evening Walk ಗೋಸ್ಕರ ದಂಡಕಾರಣ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಚರಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾಗ ಯಾವುದೋ ಒಂದು ಬೇರಿನ ಆರ್ತನಾದ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಕೇಳಿಸಿತು . ಈಗ ಬೇರುಗಳು ಎಲ್ಲಿ ಅಳುತ್ತವೆಯೇ ?? ಎಂಬ ಲಾಜಿಕಲ್ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಕೇಳಬೇಡಿ . ಸೀತೆಯನ್ನು ರಾವಣ ಅಪಹರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋದಾಗ ರಾಮ
"ಓ ತರುಲತೆಗಳೇ ಓ ಪಶುಪಕ್ಷಿಗಳೇ ..... ಕಂಡಿರಾ ನನ್ನ ಸೀತೆಯನ್ನು??? ............ ..... ಎಂದು ಕೇಳುತ್ತ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾನಂತೆ . ಅಂದರೆ ಆ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವುಗಳಿಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡುವ ಶಕ್ತಿ ಇತ್ತು . ಗೊತ್ತಾಯ್ತಾ ?? ಆ ಆರ್ಥಸ್ವರ ಕೇಳಿದ ರಾಮ ಅದರ ಬಳಿ ಬಂದು ಏನಾಯಿತು ?? ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದಾಗ ಆ ಬೇರು ಹೀಗೆ ಉತ್ತರಿಸಿತು .
ನೋಡು ರಾಮ ನಿನ್ನ ತಮ್ಮ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಣ ಮೂರ್ಛೆ ತಪ್ಪಿ ಬಿದ್ದಾಗ ಹನುಮಂತ ತಂದ ಸಂಜೀವಿನಿ ಸೊಪ್ಪು ನಾನು . ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಹಿಂಡಿ ರಸ ತೆಗೆದು ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಣನನ್ನು ಬದುಕಿಸಿ ಕೆಲಸ ಮುಗಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೀಗೆ ಮರದ ಕೆಳಗೆ ಬಿಸುಟು ಹೋಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ . ರಾಮರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದು ನ್ಯಾಯವೇ ?? ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದಾಗ ರಾಮ ಹೇಳಿದ "ಎಲೈ ಸಂಜೀವಿನಿಯೇ ಹೀಗೆ ಮರದ ಕೆಳಗೆ ಬೀಳುವುದು ನಿನ್ನ ಪೂರ್ವ ಜನ್ಮದ ಕರ್ಮ ಫಲ. ನಾನು ವಿಧಿಗೆ ವಿರುದ್ಧವಾಗಿ ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಬದುಕಿಸಲಾರೆ . ಆದರೆ ನನ್ನ ತಮ್ಮನ ಪ್ರಾಣ ಉಳಿಸಿದ್ದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಕಲಿಯುಗದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿನಗೆ ಪುನರ್ಜನ್ಮ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ತಿಯಾಗಲೆಂದು ಆಶೀರ್ವದಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ ಎಂದು ಹರಸಿದ . ಅದರ ಅವತಾರವೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಕಲಿಯುಗದ ಚಹಾ .
ಇನ್ನೂ ಸಂಶಯವೇ ??? ನೋಡಿ ಈಗಲೂ ಅಷ್ಟೇ ..... ರಾತ್ರಿಯಿಡೀ ಮೂರ್ಛೆ ತಪ್ಪಿದವರಂತೆ ನಿದ್ದೆ ಬಿದ್ದಿರುವ ನಾವು ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ಎದ್ದ ತಕ್ಷಣ ಚಹಾ ಕುಡಿದು ಕ್ರಿಯಾಶೀಲರಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲವೇ ?? ಅದರ ಕರ್ಮಫಲ ಇನ್ನೊ ಬಿಟ್ಟಿಲ್ಲವೋ ಎಂಬಂತೆ ಚಹಾ ಮಾಡಿದ ಬಳಿಕ ಅದರ ಸೊಪ್ಪನ್ನು ಮರದ ಬೇರಿನಡಿ ಬಿಸಾಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲವೇ ?? ಅಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲ ಸಂಜೀವಿನಿಯನ್ನು ತಂದವನು ಹನುಮಂತ ಯಾವ ಮೂಲಿಕೆ ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿಯದಿದ್ದರೂ "ದೂರ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಿಂದ " ಇಡೀ ಪರ್ವತ ಹೊತ್ತು ತಂದ ಹಾಗೆ ಭಾರತಕ್ಕೆ ಚಹಾ ತಂದವರು ಜೇಮ್ ಶೆಡ್ ಜೀ ಟಾಟಾ ಅವರು ಫಾರಸೀ ಆಗಿದ್ದರು. ನೋಡಿದಿರಾ ?? FAR = ದೂರ SEE = ದೃಷ್ಟಿ . ಹೀಗೆ ಇವರು ಕೂಡ ದೂರ ದೃಷ್ಟಿ ಯಿಂದಲೇ ಚಹಾವನ್ನು ಭಾರತಕ್ಕೆ ತಂದರು . ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ರಾಮನು ಕಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಸೊಪ್ಪಿಗೆ ವರದಾನ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅವರು ತಂದ ಚಹಾಕ್ಕೆ "ಕಾನನ ದೇವನ ಚಹಾ " ( Kannan Devan Tea ) ಅಂದರೆ ಕಾಡಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಬಂದ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಬದುಕಿಸಿದ ಸೊಪ್ಪು ಎಂಬರ್ಥದಿಂದ ಈ ಹೆಸರು ಕೊಟ್ಟರು.
ಇದು ಚಹಾದ ಪುರಾಣವಾದರೆ ಕಾಪಿ ಇದಕ್ಕೂ ಹಳೆಯದು . ಸಮುದ್ರಮಥನ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಸುರಾಸುರ ಯಕ್ಷ ಗಂಧರ್ವರೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಸೇರಿ ಸಮುದ್ರವನ್ನು ಮಥಿಸಿದರು. ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ ಪದಾರ್ಥವನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಂಡರು. ನಡುವೆ "ಕಾಲಕೂಟ" ವೆಂಬ ಖತರ್ನಾಕ್ ವಿಷ ಬರಲು ಈಶ್ವರ ಅದನ್ನು bottoms up ಮಾಡಿ ಕುಡಿದ. ನಂತರ ಪೀಯುಷ ( ಅಮೃತ ) ಹುಟ್ಟಿಕೊಂಡಿತು . ಅಸುರರಿಗೆ ಮೊಹಿನಿಯಿಂದ ಮಂಕುಬೂದಿ ಎರಚಿ ಇನ್ನೇನು ಪೀಯುಷವನ್ನು ಸ್ವರ್ಗಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುವಾಗ "Hello Excuse me Boss " ಎಂಬ ಸ್ವರ ಕೇಳಿಸಿತು ತಿರುಗಿ ನೋಡಿದರೆ ಮಾನವರೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಗುಂಪು ಗುಂಪಾಗಿ ಬರುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಏನಾಯ್ತು ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದರೆ ಏನು ?? ನಮ್ಮ ಭೂಮಿಗೆ ಬಂದು ಸಮುದ್ರ ಮಥಿಸಿ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ್ದನ್ನೆಲೆ ದೋಚಿ ಹೋಗ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದೀರಾ ?? ನಮ್ಮ ಭೂಮಿ ಬಳಸಿದ್ದರ ಬಾಡಿಗೆ ಯಾರು ಕೊಡ್ತಾರೆ ?? ನಮಗೂ ಅಮೃತದಲ್ಲಿ ಪಾಲು ಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಜಗಳ ಶುರು ಮಾಡಿದರು . ಆಗ ದೇವರು ಓಹೋ .... ಅಮೃತ ಬೇಕಾ ?? ಕಾಲಕೂಟ ಕೂಡ ಅಲ್ಲಿಂದಾನೆ ಬಂದಿದ್ದು ಅದನ್ನೂ ನೀವು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ವಾದ ಮಾಡಿದರು . ಮನುಷ್ಯರು ಕಾಲಕೂಟದಿಂದ ಹೆದರಿಕೊಂಡರೂ ಪಾಲು ಸಿಗದೇ ಹೋಗಲು ಬಿಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂಬ ಪಟ್ಟು ಹಿಡಿದರು .
ಆಮೇಲೆ ದೇವಗುರು ಬೃಹಸ್ಪತಿ , ದೈತ್ಯಗುರು ಶುಕ್ರಾಚಾರ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಮಾನವರ ಗುರುಗಳಾಗಿದ್ದ ಗಣಪಯ್ಯ ಮಾಸ್ಟರು ಕುಳಿತು ಒಂದು ಸಂಧಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದು " ಕಾಲಕೂಟದಿಂದ " "ಕಾ" ತೆಗೆದು "ಪೀಯೂಷದಿಂದ" "ಪೀ " ತೆಗೆದು "ಕಾಪಿ " ಮಾಡಿ ಮಾನವರಿಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟರು . ಈ ಸಂಧಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೃಹಸ್ಪತಿಗಳು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಮಾನವರ Favour ನಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅವರ ಸ್ಮರಣಾರ್ಥ ಅವರ ಹೆಸರಿನ ಮೊದಲ ಮೂರು ಅಕ್ಷರ "BRU" ಎಂದು ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ನಾಮಕರಣ ಮಾಡಲಾಯಿತು . ಇದನ್ನು ಕುಡಿದು ಮನುಷ್ಯರಿಗೆ ನಶೆ ಏರಿದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅವರು ಅದನ್ನು "ನಶಾಕಾಪಿ " ಎಂದರು ಅದೇ ಕಲಿಯುಗದ NESCAFE ಆಯಿತು.ಹೀಗೆ ಸುರ - ಅಸುರರ ಸಹಕಾರದಿಂದ ಕಾಪಿ ಭೂಮಿಗೆ ಬಂದಿದ್ದರಿಂದ ಇಂದಿಗೂ ಅದನ್ನು ಕುಡಿಯುವಾಗ ನಾವು "ಸುರ್ರ್ ರ್ರ್ ರ್ರ್ " ಎಂದು ಶಬ್ದ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾ ಅವರನ್ನು ನೆನೆಯುತ್ತೇವೆ
ಉಳಿದ ಪುರಾಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಪೆಪ್ಸಿ ಕೋಲಾ ಗಳ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖ ಇದೆಯೋ ಎಂದು ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ . ನಿಮಗೆಲ್ಲಾದರೂ ಏನಾದರೂ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದರೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿರಿ
ಅಷ್ಟಾದಶ ಪುರಾಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ 19ನೇ ಪುರಾಣವಾದ ತಲೆಹರಟೆ ಪುರಾಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಪೇಯಪರ್ವದ 420 ನೇ ಶ್ಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಚಹಾದ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖವಿದೆ. "ನಭಯಂ ಚಾಸ್ತಿ ಜಾಗೃತಃ " ಅಂದರೆ ಚಾ ಕುಡಿದವನಿಗೆ ಯಾವ ಭಯವೂ ಇಲ್ಲ ಅವನು ಸದಾ ಜಾಗೃತನಾಗಿರುತ್ತಾನೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಲಾಗಿದೆ .ಅದರ ಸಂಕ್ಷಿಪ್ತ ವಿವರಣೆಯನ್ನು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ

DR. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam 's Speech in Hyderabad .
DR. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam 's Speech in Hyderabad .
Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements?
We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.
I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.
In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T.Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.
Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India . For her, you and I will have to build this developed India . You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation.
Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.
Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours.
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?
Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - 'YOURS'. Give him a face - 'YOURS'. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity… In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai . YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.
YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.'YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand .
Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston ??? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India ?
In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan .
Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.
This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public.
When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system?
What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England . When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.
Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too…. I am echoing J. F. Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians…..
'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'

HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR : When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how Many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way m irror i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them).There have been many cases of people installing 2-waymirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom or bedrooms. It is Very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?
CONDUCT THIS SIMPLE TEST: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR!(there is someone seeing you from the other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything.It is simple to do. This is a really good thing to do. The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is because the silver is on the back of the mirror UNDER the glass. Whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep it in mind! Make sure and check every time y ou enter in hotel rooms. May be someone is making a film on you. Ladies: Share this with your friends. Men: Share this with your sisters, wives, daughters, friends, colleagues, Not that every one is like that or can be seen as a pervert but then it is better to safeguard our own interest.

Let us remember the martyrs of 26/11 and the Mumbai carnage
The sacrifices and the indomitable courage displayed

Country in shock and grief
Gathering itself from the senseless morass around
Heart aches with memories of agony and pain
Yet swells with pride , the martyrs equanimity
I write these few lines with tears in my eyes
for we need to exhibit and echo the might of unity
Let us all in unison pray for the departed souls
We are a strong nation, and will achieve our Goals
My personal request to one and all is to offer a solemn prayer and silent Salute, before your evening tipple, where ever that you are.
JAI HIND !!!

St. Mary's Islands, Karnataka
St. Mary's Islands (Kannada: ಸಂತ ಮೇರಿಯ ದ್ವೀಪಗಳು), are a set of four small islands in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Malpe in Udupi, Karnataka, India. They are known for their distinctive geological formation of columnar basaltic lava (pictured).
Scientific studies indicate that the basalt of the St. Mary’s Islands was formed by sub-aerial subvolcanic activity, because at that time Madagascar was attached to India. The rifting of Madagascar took place around 88 Ma.
The islands form one of the four geological monuments in Karnataka state, out of the 26 ‘‘Geological Monuments of India’’ declared by the Geological Survey of India in 2001. The monument is considered an important site for "Geo Tourism".
Malpe
Malpe is a natural port about six kilometers to the west of Udupi, Karnataka, India. An important port and fishing harbor on the Karnataka coast, Malpe is situated at the mouth of the Udyavara river. It is a suburb in Udupi city and is administerd by Udupi City Municipality.Tulu, Kannada and Konkani are spoken here.

Gotras
Every shivalli brahmins belong to a particular gotra (sagotra in Tulu), essentially a clan. Gotras are named for rishis, Hindu poet-sages. Marriage is not allowed between members of the same gotra. Tulu brahmins belong to the following gotras:
Bhargava
Jamadagni
Vishwamitra
Bhardwaja
Vashista
Aangirasa
Kashyapa

Shivalli Brahmin males have undergo Brahmopadesham
Shivalli Brahmin males have undergo Brahmopadesham (Upanayana in Tulu ) when they turn seven years old, to initiate them into Vedic studies.[1] The key ritual during the Upanayana is that of putting a Janivaara or sacred thread across the left shoulder of the boy. The Janivaara consists of three threads made of cotton. The boy, once initiated, is called a Dwija or twice born and is expected to perform japa or sandhyavandana at least twice daily. Shivalli Madhwa Brahmins also follow the Upakarma ceremony where the janivaara is changed and mudradharana is done. Mudradharana is a ritual where signs of Lord Vishnu's symbols (Mudra) like conch (Shanka), chakra (wheel) are etched on bodies. This is done by placing hot metal moulds of these symbols mainly on the hand and stomach.
There are no equivalent ceremonies for Shivalli Brahmin girls. In fact, although North Indian Brahmin women take part significantly in the ritualistic process of Hinduism, Shivalli Brahmin women have no important role in these ceremonies. They have no religious education, and no rite of passage into adult society other than the rather dubious role in a marriage arranged by their parents. The reasons for the marked difference between women's role in Brahmin culture amongst other groups (which is quite limited in itself) and the Shivali Brahmins has been a source of much debate. It is currently thought that the lowly role amongst the latter was due to an attempt at maintaining line purity by the first Shivali Brahmin men who migrated to the South and married local (non-Brahmin) fisher women.
The Shivalli Madhwa brahmins have rituals from birth to death at every stage of their life. Some claim the traditions and rituals followed by Shivalli Madhva Brahmins have scientific reasons to them worthy of research.

2 cups raw rice
¾ cup jaggery/brown sugar
¼ cup grated coconut
1 pinch salt
1 medium pinch of baking soda
1 tbsp oil

Akki Shavige
Ingredients:
Raw white rice - 3 cups
Water - 6 cups (1:2 ratio of rice & water)
Salt to taste
Semige Presser
Oil - 6 tsps
Method:
Soak the rice in water, overnight. Wash the rice & drain the water. Now grind the rice in a mixie or grinder with water & salt to taste. The ground mixture should be smooth textured & in the consistency of dosa or idli batter.
Place a heavy bottomed vessel on medium flame. Heat 5 tsps of oil. To that add the ground mixture & keep stirring continously to prevent the formation of lumps. Keep stirring till all the water evaporates & you get a chapati dough consistency. Remove the vessel from fire & let it cool a bit so that you would be able to handle the dough by your hands.
Unlike the Akki Pundi (Rice Dumplings), where we made small balls of the dough, here we make similar balls in a lengthy cylindrical shape say of about 4-5 inches in length & thickness of about 1.5 inches. If it tends to stick on to your hands, just wet your hands with a little water & continue the process. Now place these cylindrical shaped doughs in a steamer & steam cook till done. Say about 15-20 minutes. Otherwise just prick these doughs with a fork to check if it sticks on to it. if it does let it cook for some more time. If not, it is understood that it is well cooked. Now remove it from fire.
Do not let it cool down, as we need it piping hot to press it down the presser. Smear the cylindrical mould with oil ( preferably coconut oil, or refined would also do) to prevent it from sticking on to it & helping the dough to get pressed down easily. With the help of tongs, remove a cylindrical shaped dough from the steamer & place it in the cylindrical mould. Immediately start rotating the handles, which has a hard cylindrical shaped roll attached to it. As you rotate, this roll would push itself down into the cylindrical mould which would inturn press the dough down. Beneath, a plate should be placed in order to recieve the pressed semige which comes in the from of thin strands as the cylindrical mould is perforated.

Buns of Mangalore
Ingredients:
1 cup Maida/All purpose flour
1 ripe Banana, medium sized
1-2 tbsp Curd/Yogurt
4-5 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Jeera seeds
1/2 - 3/4 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
Oil for deep frying
Method:
Mash the banana completely with your hands; Add the rest of the ingredients, except oil, and make a dough; The dough should be of the chapati dough consistency. Note: Be very careful while adding yogurt; Yogurt gives out some water and tends to make the dough watery. So, start with very little quantity and then add more, as required.
Cover and set aside for 4-5 hours.
Heat oil in a frying pan on low-medium heat; A tiny ball of dough dropped into the oil should rise immediately - That's when the oil is ready.
Pull out ping pong sized balls of dough and pat them in between your palms to make pooris out of the dough; You could also use rolling pin to make the pooris. Note: If you are using your hands for making pooris, greasing them with a few drops of cooking oil would help.
Drop the pooris in oil and deep fry on both sides until they turn brown; Note: While deep frying, press and keep them inside the oil for a few seconds, just like how you would do for ordinary pooris - This helps them fluff up!
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels; Serve hot with coconut chutney/Sambhar and enjoy.

What killed Ranjan Das and Lessons for Corporate
A month ago, many of us heard about the sad demise of Ranjan Das from Bandra, Mumbai. Ranjan, just 42 years of age, was the CEO of SAP-Indian Subcontinent, the youngest CEO of an MNC in India. He was very active in sports, was a fitness freak and a marathon runner. It was common to see him run on Bandra's Carter Road. Just after Diwali, on 21st Oct, he returned home from his gym after a workout, collapsed with a massive heart attack and died. He is survived by his wife and two very young kids.
It was certainly a wake-up call for corporate India. However, it was even more disastrous for runners amongst us. Since Ranjan was an avid marathoner (in Feb 09, he ran Chennai Marathon at the same time some of us were running Pondicherry Marathon 180 km away), the question came as to why an exceptionally active, athletic person succumb to heart attack at 42 years of age.
Was it the stress?
A couple of you called me asking about the reasons. While Ranjan had mentioned that he faced a lot of stress, that is a common element in most of our lives. We used to think that by being fit, one can conquer the bad effects of stress. So I doubted if the cause was stress.
The Real Reason
However, everyone missed out a small line in the reports that Ranjan used to make do with 4-5 hours of sleep. This is an earlier interview of Ranjan on NDTV in the program 'Boss' Day Out':
http://redir.aspx/?C=aa2657ce16e541a98c67fa41b83530d1&URL=http%3a%2f%2fconnect.in.com%2franjan-das%2fplay-video-boss-day-out-ranjan-das-of-sap-india-229111-807ecfcf1ad966036c289b3ba6c376f2530d7484.html
Here he himself admits that he would love to get more sleep (and that he was not proud of his ability to manage without sleep, contrary to what others extolled).
The Evidence
Last week, I was working with a well-known cardiologist on the subject of ‘Heart Disease caused by Lack of Sleep’. While I cannot share the video nor the slides because of confidentiality reasons, I have distilled the key points below in the hope it will save some of our lives.
Some Excerpts:
· Short sleep duration (<5 or 5-6 hours) increased risk for high BP by 350% to 500% compared to those who slept longer than 6 hours per night. Paper published in 2009.
As you know, high BP kills.
· Young people (25-49 years of age) are twice as likely to get high BP if they sleep less. Paper published in 2006.
· Individuals who slept less than 5 hours a night had a 3-fold increased risk of heart attacks. Paper published in 1999.
· Complete and partial lack of sleep increased the blood concentrations of High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-cRP), the strongest predictor of heart attacks. Even after getting adequate sleep later, the levels stayed high!!
· Just one night of sleep loss increases very toxic substances in body such as Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumour Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-alpha) and C-reactive protein (cRP). They increase risks of many medical conditions, including cancer, arthritis and heart disease. Paper published in 2004.
· Sleeping for <=5 hours per night leads to 39% increase in heart disease. Sleeping for <=6 hours per night leads to 18% increase in heart disease. Paper published in 2006.
Ideal Sleep
For lack of space, I cannot explain here the ideal sleep architecture. But in brief, sleep is composed of two stages: REM (Rapid Eye Movement) and non-REM. The former helps in mental consolidation while the latter helps in physical repair and rebuilding. During the night, you alternate between REM and non-REM stages 4-5 times.
The earlier part of sleep is mostly non-REM. During that period, your pituitary gland releases growth hormones that repair your body. The latter part of sleep is more and more REM type.
For you to be mentally alert during the day, the latter part of sleep is more important. No wonder when you wake up with an alarm clock after 5-6 hours of sleep, you are mentally irritable throughout the day (lack of REM sleep). And if you have slept for less than 5 hours, your body is in a complete physical mess (lack of non-REM sleep), you are tired throughout the day, moving like a zombie and your immunity is way down (I’ve been there, done that L)
Finally, as long-distance runners, you need an hour of extra sleep to repair the running related damage.
If you want to know if you are getting adequate sleep, take Epworth Sleepiness Test below.
Interpretation: Score of 0-9 is considered normal while 10 and above abnormal. Many a times, I have clocked 21 out the maximum possible 24, the only saving grace being the last situation, since I don’t like to drive (maybe, I should ask my driver to answer that line J)
In conclusion:
Barring stress control, Ranjan Das did everything right: eating proper food, exercising (marathoning!), maintaining proper weight. But he missed getting proper and adequate sleep, minimum 7 hours. In my opinion, that killed him.
If you are not getting enough sleep (7 hours), you are playing with fire, even if you have low stress.
I always took pride in my ability to work 50 hours at a stretch whenever the situation warranted. But I was so spooked after seeing the scientific evidence last week that since Saturday night, I ensure I do not even set the alarm clock under 7 hours. Now, that is a nice excuse to get some more sleep. J
Unfortunately, Ranjan Das is not alone when it comes to missing sleep. Many of us are doing exactly the same, perhaps out of ignorance. Please forward this mail to as many of your colleagues as possible, especially those who might be short-changing their sleep. If we can save even one young life because of this email, I would be the happiest person on earth.
ps: Incidentally, just as human beings need 7 hours of sleep, you should know that cats need 15 hours of sleep and horses need 3 hours of it. So are you planning to be a cool cat or a dumb horse? J

೨. ತೋಟಕ್ಕೆ ತೆರಳಿ ಕೆಸುವಿನ ಎಲೆಯನ್ನಾಯ್ದುಕೊಂಡು ಬನ್ನಿ. ಎಲೆ ತೀರ ಬಲಿತದ್ದಾಗಿರಬಾರದು. ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಎಳೆಯ ಎಲೆಯಾದರೆ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಬೇಯುವುದೂ ಅಲ್ಲದೇ, ತಿಂದ ನಂತರ ಬಾಯಿ ತುರಿಕೆಯಾಗುವ ಸಂಭವವೂ ಕಡಿಮೆ.
೩. ಎಲೆಯನ್ನು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ತೊಳೆದು, ದಂಟನ್ನು ಎಲೆಯಿಂದ ಬೇರ್ಪಡಿಸಬೇಕು. ಎಲೆಯ ಕೆಳಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ದಂಟುಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕೂಡ ಇದೇ ರೀತಿ ಬೇರ್ಪಡಿಸಬೇಕು.
೪. ಸುಮಾರು ಒಂದು ಕಡಿಯಷ್ಟು ತೆಂಗಿನ ತುರಿಯನ್ನು ತಯಾರಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು.
೫. ನೆನೆಸಿದ ಅಕ್ಕಿ, ತೆಂಗಿನ ತುರಿ, ೨ ಚಮಚದಷ್ಟು ಜೀರಿಗೆ, ೨ ಚಮಚದಷ್ಟು ಕೊತ್ತುಂಬರಿ ಬೀಜ, ಒಂದು ಚಮಚ ಅರಶಿನ, ೧೦ ಒಣ ಮೆಣಸಿನ ಕಾಯಿ, ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಹುಣಸೇ ಹಣ್ಣನ್ನು ದೋಸೆಯ ಹಿಟ್ಟಿನ ಹದಕ್ಕೆ ಅರೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು. ಹಿಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ರುಚಿಗೆ ತಕ್ಕಷ್ಟು ಉಪ್ಪು ಸೇರಿಸಿ.
೬. ಕೆಸುವಿನ ಎಲೆಯ ಹಿಂಭಾಗಕ್ಕೆ ಹದವಾಗಿ ಈ ಮಿಶ್ರಣವನ್ನು ಹಚ್ಚುತ್ತಾ, ಮಡಿಸುತ್ತಾ, ಸುರುಳಿಯಾಗಿ ಸುತ್ತಬೇಕು.
೭. ಗಾಲಿಗಳಂತೆ ಇವನ್ನು ಕತ್ತರಿಸಿ ಇಟ್ಟುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು.
೮. ಹದವಾದ ಬೆಂಕಿ ಹೊತ್ತಿಸಿ ಒಲೆ ಮೇಲಿಟ್ಟ ದೋಸೆ ಕಾವಲಿಗೆ ಎಣ್ಣೆ ಹಚ್ಚಿ, ಈ ಗಾಲಿಗಳನ್ನು ಒಂದೊಂದಾಗಿ ಮೇಲೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿದ ಮಿಶ್ರಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಅದ್ದಿ ಕಾವಲಿ ಮೇಲಿಡಬೇಕು. ಕಾವು ಜಾಸ್ತಿಯಿರುವ ಮಧ್ಯ ಭಾಗ ಬೇಗನೆ ಕರಟಿ ಹೋಗುವ ಸಂಭವ ಇರುವುದರಿಂದ, ಕಾವಲಿ ಮೇಲೆ ಗಾಲಿಗಳನ್ನು ಇಡುವಾಗ ಹೊರವರ್ತುಲದಿಂದ ಆರಂಭಿಸಬೇಕು.
೯. ಕಾವಲಿಗೆ ಎಣ್ಣೆ ಹಚ್ಚುವಾಗ ಬೇರೆ ಎಣ್ಣೆಯನ್ನು ಬಳಸಿದರೂ, ತೆಗೆಯುವ ಕೊಂಚ ಮೊದಲು ತೆಂಗಿನೆಣ್ಣೆ ಹಾಕುವುದು ಸೂಕ್ತ.
೧೦. ಹದವಾಗಿ ಬೀಳುತ್ತಿರುವ ಮಳೆಯ ತಾಳದೊಂದಿಗೆ, ಕೆಂಪಗೆ ಕಾದ, ಬಿಸಿ ಬಿಸಿಯಾದ ದೋಸೆ ಕಲ್ ಪತ್ರೊಡೆ ಅವರ್ಣನೀಯವಾದ ಅನುಭವವನ್ನು ಒದಗಿಸುವುದು.
ಪತ್ರೋಡೆ:
"ದೋಸೆ ಕಲ್ ಪತ್ರೊಡೆ"ಮಾಡುವ ವಿಧಾನದ ೬ನೇ ಹಂತದವರೆಗೆ ಅನುಸರಿಸಿ(ಎಲೆಗೆ ಹಿಟ್ಟು ಹಚ್ಚುವ ಮೊದಲು, ಹಿಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಬೆಲ್ಲ ಬೆರಸಬೇಕು)
೭. ಸುರುಳಿಯ ಮುಂಭಾಗಕ್ಕೂ ಮಿಶ್ರಣವನ್ನು ಸವರಿ, ಇಡ್ಲಿ ಬೇಯಿಸುವಂತೆ ಇಡ್ಲಿ ಅಟ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಯಿಸಬೇಕು.
೮. ಬಿಸಿ ಬಿಸಿಯಾದ ಪತ್ರೊಡೆಯನ್ನು ಬೆಕ್ಕಿನ ಮಂಡೆಗಾತ್ರದ ಬೆಣ್ಣೆಯೊಂದಿಗೋ ಅಥವಾ ತೆಂಗಿನೆಣ್ಣೆ ಸವರಿಯೋ ತಿನ್ನಬಹುದು.
೯. ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಗೆ ಉಳಿದಿದ್ದನ್ನು ಮರುದಿನ ಚಿಕ್ಕದಾಗಿ ಕತ್ತರಿಸಿ, ಸಾಸಿವೆ, ಕರಿ ಬೇವು, ಒಣ ಮೆಣಸಿನ ಒಗ್ಗರಣೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ತುರಿದ ಕಾಯಿ ಸೇರಿಸಿ ಹುರಿದು, ಸಕ್ಕರೆಯನ್ನು ಉದುರಿಸಿ ತಿಂದರೆ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಬಗೆಯ ಸುಖ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ತಿಯಾಗುವುದು.
ಈ ಮೇಲಿನ ಎರಡೂ ವಿಧಗಳು ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ನಾಲಗೆ, ಗಂಟಲು ತುರಿಕೆ ಉಂಟು ಮಾಡುವ ಸಂದರ್ಭ ಇರುವುದರಿಂದ, ಇದರ ಶಮನಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಹುಣಸೇ ಹಣ್ಣು, ಬೆಲ್ಲ ಬಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು ಉತ್ತಮ. ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ಸುಳ್ಳು ಹೇಳುವ ಅಭ್ಯಾಸ ಇರುವವರಿಗೆ ತುರಿಕೆ ಜಾಸ್ತಿ ಅಂತ ನನ್ನ ಅಮ್ಮ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾಳಾದ್ದರಿಂದ, ಸಹಜವೆಂಬಂತೆ ಜೀವಮಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ನನಗೆ ಒಮ್ಮೆಯೂ ಪತ್ರೊಡೆ ತಿಂದು ತುರಿಕೆ ಬಂದದ್ದಿಲ್ಲ.
ಬಣ್ಣ ಬಣ್ಣದ ಕೆಸು ನೋಡಲು ಅಂದವಾಗಿರುವುದಾದರೂ ತಿನ್ನಲು ಯೋಗ್ಯವಲ್ಲ.
ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮನೆ ಅಥವಾ ಪಕ್ಕದ ಮನೆ ತೋಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಸು ಇಲ್ಲವಾದಲ್ಲಿ, ದೋಸೆ ಕಲ್ ಪತ್ರೊಡೆಯ ಹಿಟ್ಟನ್ನು ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಿ ಹೀರೆಕಾಯಿ, ಬದನೇಕಾಯಿ, ಬಾಳೆಕಾಯಿ, ಮೆಂತೆ, ಬಸಳೆ ಇನ್ನಿತರ ಸೊಪ್ಪು, ಹೆಬ್ಬಲಸು ಇತ್ಯಾದಿಗಳಲ್ಯಾವುದನ್ನಾದರೂ ಬಳಸಿ ಚಟ್ಟಿ ಮಾಡಬಹುದು.
ಕೆಸುವಿನ ಉಪಯೋಗ ಬರೀ ಪತ್ರೊಡೆಗೆ ಮೀಸಲು ಎಂದು ನೀವು ತಿಳಿಯಬೇಕಾಗಿಲ್ಲ. ಅದರ ಎಲೆಯ ಚಟ್ನಿಯನ್ನೂ, ದಂಟಿನ ಹುಳಿಯನ್ನೂ, ಗಡ್ಡೆಯ ಹಪ್ಪಳವನ್ನೂ ಮಾಡಬಹುದು. ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ಒಮ್ಮೆಲೇ ಪ್ರಯೋಗಿಸಿ ನಿಮಗೆ ಅಜೀರ್ಣವಾಗುವ ಸಂಭವ ಇರುವುದರಿಂದ ಅವನ್ನು ಮುಂದಿನ ತರಗತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನೋಡೋಣ.
