Belgaum PWD in a hurry! Paints even private buildings at government costs
4:51 PM Posted by ukmad
Thanks to the governmental work under taken by the PWD in view of the Legislature session beginning from Jan 16, the PWD mistook the Kannada Sahitya Bhavan building to be a government building and white washed it, but when the officers came to know about it being held by private trust the painting was stopped immediately.
The PWD has a list prepared of about 140 buildings in Belgaum to be white washed in the view of the session. All the circles are also being painted and renovated.
Instead of doing all this why can’t the PWD make good roads.

Patch Work Scrap work: Comparison
1:06 PM Posted by ukmad
Continuing with my last story of Patch Work Scrap work posted yesterday, see these two pictures.
One taken today and the other one was taken during the visit of L K Advani to the city when the same road was patched.
Can you spot the difference between the two, I at least can’t.
This is how the same road is patched twice in 2 months and the end result is the same.
This is how the Govt. builds our infrastructure. And you see those big ads on TV and print media asking us to pay our advance tax and income tax so that the govt. Will patch the same road twice in 2 months and the end result march end one more patch work.

Road Patchwork; scrap work
9:39 PM Posted by ukmad
Today evening I was surprised to see the road being closed and board put up road closed work in progress.
Nevertheless, when I saw what was going it was disheartening. Potholes were being with boulders & red mud and KHADI which is used to make the whole road and small Khadi which is used to put up on the road was being sprinkled on the patched up pot hole.
Ye India Kab sudhrega? Kab ? Jab hum sab Sudhernge aur we vote and elect good and able persons on the civic authorities and state and national levels.

5:21 PM Posted by ukmad
bout IT expo being held in so many cities, many of you must have gone there and now your chance to be a part of it in Belgaum at the Millennium Gardens on 25TH,26TH,27TH JAN 2009.This event is being organized by “Concept Exhibitors, Hubli” and “Rotary Club of Venugram-Belgaum”. Concept Exhibitors have already proved their expertise in organizing IT Events by successfully orchestrating First Ever ITEXPO@Hubli-Dharwad.
This IT EXPO-09 is focused on creating the end customer awareness about various IT products available today under one roof. From the past as many years of IT selling in Belgaum, there have been a lot of single brand IT events/carnivals/road shows organized which concentrate on only one particular brand. This decreases the public influx as people loyal only to that brand visit.
In ITEXPO-09 all the major brands will be at the customer disposal to choose from and decide. The customer can have a hand on experience with all brand products and discuss about product features and pricing in detail with the company representatives. All the participants will fight tooth and nail to sell their respective products on the basis of quality and competitive price. It is up to the company representative to sell his product X to a customer who is loyal to a brand Y. The whole concept of multi brand exhibit will increase the public influx to a huge extent.The core focus of ITEXPO-09 will be on Notebooks and desktops apart from awareness about WiFi technology as the entire event will be in a WiFi Network. The event will also have stalls for display of notebook accessories, Software and computer components. There will be a stall for customers seeking finance options and computer furniture.
The event will have a LCD Projection at the centre of the Hall which will run the entire participant companies profiles in a cyclic manner during the duration of the event. The customers will be educated as to what are the latest technologies.
All in all, ITEXPO-09 aims to bridge the gap between the customer and the companies and create a win-win situation for both.
If someone is interested in exhibiting their products they could contact: Mr Sandeep Tekriwal, Starnet Computers, Belgaum, and Mobile: 9986506184

Reliving those old moments price less
4:53 PM Posted by ukmad
The St.Pauls batch of 1993 today concluded their reunion meet at the school in camp.
The batch is very active on the internet and with help of internet this even was planned and executed to the best, that what ex-Paulite Dr.Handgandi told this blog.
This year’s event was mainly concentrated on cherishing those old pranks played on teachers and fellow friends. The event began by paying tributes to those teachers and fellow batch mates who are not with them today. Then the school anthem was sung and event proceeded.
A professional database was also made at this time which will be used later to share job openings and references within the group.
In the pciture: Ex-paulites enjoying playing back.
The batch mates were filled with joy to see each other; a few saw each other after 15 years, a few after 5 years. In fact a few like Mr.Faiz and Vishal Raut who had left the school in 8th std came for the event to see their old day buddies.
Blast from the past; a creation of Mr.Devikant which was a collection of old photos from school was very applauded by the batch mates. The chronicles of 1993, a collection of all the pranks and tricks played with teachers was the best event of the day and many new confessions came up which everyone was surprised to hear.
To narrate just one of them; Mr. Vinay Kothari said that he had lifted a cake given to their calls teacher and then the whole class equally ate the cake and at the last before the teacher left the class, one student told that, “Sir we ate the cake” and the teacher replied” If you all shared it then it’s a good thing”. The best thing is the person who lifted the cake from the teachers table never ate anything as it contained eggs.
All old memories and dances on the songs of that era like, Muqabla of Prabhuudeva, Jumma Chumma etc were played and all enjoyed it. A short film of last reunion held in 2003 was also showcased in a packaged format to relive those moments also.
Mr.Chingale told this blog a mega event is in the planning for 2013 where it will be a 2 day event and will include all teachers and complete families of the students.
All the batch mates supported the organizers and they also plan to give back to the school and the society from the amount collected at the reunion as it was done in 2003, by donating the remaining amount to Karunalaya, an old age home.
People bond together without any prejudice just as a community to work betterment of the society, a noble cause indeed.
All the best for next reunion.

Belgaum industries in bad shape: tough times ahead
4:21 PM Posted by ukmad
Around 1500 small and large industries have shut shop and many working in there have fled Belgaum. The future looks gloomy for the industrial scenario in Belgaum.
The government must reduce the interest rates loans. And since repayment of loans has become extremely difficult, it should even waive-off the dues of the industrialists.
Mainly the machine shops in Belgaum supply to automobile industries and the auto industry is also not doing well. Even after the excise cut for automobiles only footfalls into showrooms have increased, I heard on a news channel. So until the auto industry kicks of hard Belgaum will keep facing tough times ahead.
