Belgaum Rotary’s Annotsav 2008 tickling taste buds

10:13 PM Posted by ukmad

The Rotary club of Belgaum organizes the Annual event Annotsav from the past many years. This time the fete is organized at Sardars High School Ground, opp Old REX College Road.
 
About 105 different stalls serving various delicacies are there to give those old taste buds some rejuvenating flavor.  Right from Pani puri, ice cream to Vada Kombda, Bhaji etc.
 
You have to be there and enjoy the lovely atmosphere while your nostrils fetch some nice aroma of a Tandoor or a Biryani. All the major hotels like Niyaz, Zaika have their stalls. In addition, some very good homemade food is available which is great.
Also see in the image VOTE FOR VAYAVYA LABS is the main banner behind the live show. So Belagum is now getting much more aware about getting Belgaum on the IT map.
 
In addition, there are the car stalls, solar water stalls etc etc etc.
Again, the live music shows and various competitions held during the fete are a topping on the cream.
Parking facility is good enough, but I point I noticed was lack of security. After the Mumbai terror attacks something must have been put in place, but I could hardly see two police officers that too on the main road entrance and no one else. May be some other security arrangements should have been done, I am not aware of it. But it feels secure enough to roam about with your family and kids seeing all those new food being made and enjoying the atmosphere. The entry fee is Rs.5.
 
The fete, which opened on 7 Dec, will be open until 14 December 2008. So, if you are in town in that period you know one dinner is fixed at some stall in there.

This is a very old Email or SMS circulating around, but it is worth it I guess.


All are requested to add to this. I know most of it would be Area centric.


Thanks Anand Nargundkar.

Rakaskop reservoir has water for 3 months

8:27 AM Posted by ukmad

As the rain have taken a rest and this time the rest has been too long the Rakaskop reservoir has water which will last for 3 months only. What after that is the question?

Rains this time came beforetime but then suddenly disappeared. This has been a cause of worry now. Last year by July 7 the reservoir was full to its capacity of 2475 feet. Infact this may the reservoir recorded its highest ever water level in that month of 2450.1 feet.

Now its all on the rain God.
