Today is Dr. DVG’s 121st birthday.  Dr. DVG’s books have inspired and influenced a lot in my life. 

His is a multifaceted personality.  He is known for his integrity.  Even though he had good contacts like Sir M Visvesvaraya, Diwan Mirza Ismail etc., he never misued his privilege for his personal benefit. 

He is one of the doyens of kannada literature.  His books  Mankuthimmana Kagga and Maraluminiyana Kaggas are known for their insight.  A lot of people daily study these verses as a ritual as they give solace to the mind.

His  other books such as Jnapakachitrashale in 8 volumes narrate the life of people over a period of nearly sixty years in erstwhile Mysore state during 1900s

Australian Cricket Team – Poor Losers

Indian convincingly won the 1st CBS finals at Sidney.  This win has given them an advantage for Tuesday’s second final.

But to demoralize the Indian team, The Australian  media has ganged up to take up the non-existent monkey issue against Bhajji once again.  It is alleged that some spectators have asked Bhajji to have a haircut.  This is purely a racist assault.  Nobody has the right to talk against one’s religion.

When Michael Clarke was dismissed by a Dhonee catch, he was seen making some comments towards umpire and the Indian team members.  This is definitely a unsportsmanlike behaviour. Why shoud he not be reprimanded?

It seems Australians need a lesson of accepting defeats graciously. The Australinas are spoiling the gentlemanly spirit of Cricket game.
