Pt. Anant Terdal - Stars of Belgaum - Hindustani Classical vocalist
11:33 AM Posted by ukmad
He received his preliminary training in music from his uncle Shri. Keshavacharya and his mother, Smt. Bhagirathi. Thereafter, he came under the tutelage of Shri.Baburao Borkar, a talented Harmonium player who had a considerable impact upon him. At the same time, he had a privilege of learning vocal music from Dr.G.D.Joshi, (Sangeet Praveen) of Gwalior Gharana. Then, he learnt the nuances of Kirana Gharana from late Pt.R.N.Joshi buwa. In 1959, he got the title of Sangeet Visharad from Akhil Bharateeya Gandharva
Mahavidyalay. In 1983, Pt. Terdal became the Ganda Bandh disciple of Pt.Bhimsen Joshi – the doyen of Kirana Gharana. Since then, he has been imbibing the depths of Hindustani Classical Music from the maestro.
Pt. Terdal's singing is characterized by the clarity of swaras in three octaves, thoughtful and bhava poorna rendition of ragas in both vilambit and drut layas. Along with the classical music, he is eloquent in presenting Marathi Natyageet, Bhajans, Kannada Devarnamas etc.
Pt. Terdal has travelled extensively within India on his musical performances under the aegis of various organizations including the prestigious Sawai Gandharva festival of Pune, Akhil Bharateeya Gandharva Mahavidyalay, Karnataka Sangeet and Nrutya Academy, Ramkrishna Sangeet Sammelan organised by the Maharashtra Lalit Kala Nidhi, Mumbai, Tansen Sangeet Sammelan - Kolkata, Sangeet Research Academy of Kolkata, Master Deenanath Mangeshkar Smruti Sangeet Sammelan -Goa etc and performed along with the stalwarts of the Indian classical music including Pt.Shivkumar

He toured Middle-east on his musical performances organized by Maharashtra Mandal and Kannada Sangh.
Pt. Terdal has been performing on All India Radio since 1975. In 1981, his National Program of music was broadcast. Doordarshan and other private channels from various centres including Mumbai, Goa and Bangalore have also telecast his programmes.
Various titles have come his way recognizing his genius in Hindustani Classical music. Sur Singar Sansad gave him the title of ‘Sur Mani’. In 2001, he was honored with the title of "Kalashri" by the Karnataka State Sangeet Academy.
Pt. Terdal's music is also available on cassettes and CDs. Anand Audio Cassette Company of Bangalore has released the cassettes of his devotional songs. Ganapati Bhat Music Academy, Hasanagi, has released a CD of Pt.Terdal's classical music.

Collective effort to develop IT & ITeS in Belgaum

Collective effort to develop IT & ITeS in Belgaum
A thought came to my mind vis-à-vis the IT sector in Belgaum. Something collectively should be and can be done by all the IT companies located in Belgaum when they collaborate on a single platform. I don’t know how many IT or BPO or ITeS companies exist in Belgaum but we could attempt to get all these on a single platform which would contain data of all the companies, job vaccines etc and it would benefit the IT companies as well as people seeking jobs and who want to get more info on starting up IT companies in Belgaum.
There are web designers and other small startups working from a home office setup which might be included in this by which they could get exposure. Even today many people go to Bangalore or Pune to get a website designed for a company located in Belgaum, a simple thing but people aren’t aware of it in town.
AAB [http://allaboutbelgaum.com] would be devoted to share information on this.
The same is the case with the IT start ups like vayavyalabs.com, Spundhan, eth1 network solutions,
leading minds to name a few I know of. BPOs like BTPi info, Gurukul scribe and Katwa infotech and others may perhaps come together and spread awareness about the presence of IT and ITeS companies in Belgaum. This is just a thought and I have nothing concrete in my mind. People in this field could throw additional light on this.
All the IT & ITeS companies located in Belgaum or companies interested in setting up shop here please post a comment as to what do you think about this.
Let me know your thoughts on this.
Bangalore gangster kills cop, flees from custody
10:16 AM Posted by ukmad
45-year-old Nagendra Madhumohan Reddy, a gangster facing five murder charges — three in Bangalore and one each in Secunderabad and Hyderabad — escaped after killing constable Chandrakant Shankar Kamble (32) attached to District Armed Reserve Force, Belgaum. He has escaped from the Bangalore jail thrice.
A person, believed to be from Hyderabad, had met Reddy on Saturday evening. The clothes which Reddy wore while escaping and the knife used in the attack are said to have been brought by the unidentified person.
Reddy decided to attack Kamble after noticing that he was alone — the other two constables had gone for lunch. Reddy stabbed Kamble five times in the abdomen and chest.
After stabbing Kamble, Reddy changed his clothes, took the key which was with Kamble, unlocked the door and escaped.

Belgaum is Goans preferred destination
10:08 AM Posted by ukmad
Geographical, cultural and ethnic proximity attract the Goans to Belgaum. They feel much cooler here than in Goa even when the temperatures have risen to 38 degrees Celsius in Belgaum. Goans normally combine their visit to town with shopping, health check up or just entertainment. KLE hospital (Dr.Prabhakar Kore Hospital) has been a great success story for Goans here. The Kadamba bus also had a drop point in the KLE.
All eating places are bursting and do brisk business on weekends. Many of the Catholics from Belgaum who have now settled in Goa and the still have their roots in here, make them come here often. Others just come here to do their shopping. The main factor is that the taste and variety suits the tastes of Goans which has also helped the local businessmen to grow. On a weekend Shahpur is filled with people from Goa shopping there mainly for Sarees. There are a few who go Big Bazaar as it is on the way from Goa. Shopping for fresh vegetables from Belgaum is a favorite for Goans. In fact majority vegetables sold in Goa are from Belgaum.
The routine of Goans is to some extent fixed. They come here more often than not on Friday afternoon; they do window shopping that evening after they have checked in to their favorite hotels like Anupam, Adarsh, Sanman now even Effa & Shankam, but Anupam is Goan favorite. Saturday morning is serious shopping from 9 am till night. For lunch or dinner the old favourite is Adinarayan and now only fish, but now Goans also throng the restaurants with regular Indian, Chinese cuisine, Gujrati thalis etc. Even Big Cinemas on weekend has majority Goan crowd. The Auto’s also do good business as normally the Goans Park the vehicles at the hotel and go around in Autos and the special Belgaum autos charge exorbitantly for which they are famous. Going back from town without Kunda is not a great sign; hence the sweet shops also keep themselves ready for the weekend.
The most important factor for Belgaum being the preferred destination is that the town has something for all classes of Goans. You may come in a Honda city or Kadamba bus Belgaum has something for all.
More Goans will perhaps come to Belgaum if the road infrastructure is enhanced. The road via Anmod has been repaired recently and via Chorla is yet be made. If we have roads like the Belgaum-Kolhapur 4 lane roads, the 154km odd distance would be very easily travelled in 3 hours and we could even get more traffic from Goa and vice versa.
So, on a weekend its busy times for Belgaumites serving the Goans and also making brisk money.
