Kota Shivarama karanth....

Karanth is well known in India for experimentation. Most of his novels vary in theme, technique and their presentation. "Marali Mannige" (Return to the soil) deals with the theme of three A widely traveled man, he had visited several countries, besides every village in North Kanara
 and South Kanara
districts, and most of theIndian states
. But world travels and great honors had not affected his simple habits, and love of nature and rural life. As the President of the thirty seventh Karnataka Literary conference held at Mysore in 1955, he declared, "It is true that a number of experiments are being tried in literature. That is the mark of a living literature. But technique, style and form, all find their fulfillment only in their power to carry to the mind and the heart of the reader, the message, emotion and vision of the writer". This was his approach throughout. In spite of being a great experimenter himself, his style is simple, clear and direct. generations of a family in the coastal village, who face hardships of life with courage and adjust to changing times. "Bettada Jeeva" (Man of the hills) depicts the extraordinary life of a"brahmin" farmer who accepts challenges of nature and wild beasts, pestering Malaria, along with differences in the family with equanimity. "Maimanagala Suliyalli"(Whirl of the body and mind) brings out attempts of a talented woman with a creative mind, to attain fulfillment of physical and intellectual cravings, and her partial success. "Alida Mele" (Life after Death) is the unraveling character of a dead person who leaves behind a vague letter with some clues to his friend the author. The saga of search for the persons mentioned in the letter, provides several insights in human mind and behavior.

Shivaram Karanth the Genius "Mookajjiya Kanasu"(Mookajji's dreams) which brought Karanth theJnanapeeth
 award in 1977 deals with the visions of an eighty year old who has undergone widowhood for seventy years and innumerable sufferings but has not lost faith in life. The whole novel runs in the form of dialogues between Mookajji and her grand- nephew interspersed with her musings. Mookajji verily represents Indian Ethos in a nutshell.

Facebook ......

Facebook
 is the second largest social network on the web, behind only MySpace
 in terms of traffic. Primarily focused on high school to college s Originally called thefacebook, Facebook was founded by former-Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg (while at Harvard) who ran it as one of his hobby projects with some financial help from Eduardo Saverin. Within months, Facebook and its core idea spread across the dorm rooms of Harvard where it was very well received. Soon enough, it was extended to Stanford and Yale where, like Harvard, it was widely endorsed.
Before he knew it, Mark Zuckerberg was joined by two other fellow Harvard-students - Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes - to help him grow the site to the next level. Only months later when it was officially a national student network phenomenon, Zuckerberg and Moskovitz dropped out of Harvard to pursue their dreams and run Facebook full time. In August 2005, thefacebook was officially called Facebook and the domain facebook.com was purchased for a reported $200,000. tudents, Facebook has been gaining market share, and more significantly a supportive user base. Since their launch in February 2004, they've been able to obtain over 8 million users in the U.S. alone and expand worldwide to 7 other English-speaking countries, with more to follow. A growing phenomenon, let's discover Facebook.
The Facebook Phenomenon
First, let's start by looking into Facebook in a broad spectrum - as the network, the phenomenon, the company, and its brand.

Sandeepan English medium school

Khambadakone is a small hamlet on the West Coast of Karnataka situated on the national highway No 17, in the middle of a cluster of villages. With the Arabian Sea in the vicinity on the west, a magnificent view of the Western Ghats in blue splendour in the east, boating in rivers, trekking in the mountains, scenic spots, places of religious and historical importance within easy reach, this area has interesting possibilities.
The area is inhabited by small and medium farmers, retail shop owners and self employed people, agricultural laborers and a small number of white collar people like teachers, rural bank employees etc. This is the most backward part of Udupi district of Karnataka State. While the villages located on the highway have good bus transport facilities, interior villages are not adequately covered. Educational facility is available in Khambadakone in the Kannada medium through schools run by the district administration on government support. Though the local people like their urban counterparts, desired to have English medium education for their wards, no such facility was available till around 1989-1990. It was at that time the local people approached the trustees of Shri R.K. Sanjiv Rao Memorial Charitable Trust to start an English medium school. That was how “Sandeepan” came into existence. 

What is science?

What is science?

The word "science
" probably brings to mind many different pictures: a fat textbook, white lab coats and microscopes, an astronomer peering through a telescope, a naturalist in the rainforest, Einstein's equations scribbled on a chalkboard, the launch of the space shuttle, bubbling beakers …. All of those images reflect some aspect of science, but none of them provides a full picture because science has so many facets:
* *Science is both a body of knowledge and a process.* In school, science may sometimes seem like a collection of isolated and static facts
listed in a textbook, but that's only a small part of the story. Just as importantly, science is also a process of discovery that allows us to link isolated facts into coherent and comprehensive understandings of thenatural world
.

  * *Science is exciting.* Science is a way of discovering what's in the universe and how those things work today, how they worked in the past, and how they are likely to work in the future. Scientists are motivated by the thrill of seeing or figuring out something that no one has before.

  * *Science is useful.* The knowledge generated by science is powerful and reliable. It can be used to develop new technologies
, treat diseases, and deal with many other sorts of problems.

  * *Science is ongoing.* Science is continually refining and expanding our knowledge of the universe, and as it does, it leads to new questions for future investigation. Science will never be "finished."

  * *Science is a global human endeavor.* People all over the world participate in the process of science. And you can too!
