V K Murthy - Hemmeya kanndadiganige sanda Dada saheb phalke prashasti

Kannadiga,Cinematographer V K Murthy (87 years)has been chosen for the Dada Saheb Phalke Award for the year 2008.

Born in 1923 in Mysore, Murthy earned his diploma in cinematography from S J Polytechnic, Bangalore in its very first batch 1943-46.which he joined and after obtaining a diploma certificate in 1946, moved on to the then Bombay for internship in cinematography.Having spent nearly five decades in Mumbai, the ace cinematographer is now based in Bangalore.

The award is conferred annually by the Government of India for outstanding contribution to films. This is the first time that a cinematographer has been selected for this award.

Murthy is credited with providing some of Indian cinema's most breathtaking visual moments in classics like Guru Dutt's Kagaz Ke Phool, Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam, Baazi, Jaal, Chaudavin Ka Chand, Pyasa, 12 O'Clock and Ziddi. In fact, he has worked in most of Guru Dutt's movies.
He also partnered for Pakeezah and Razia Sultan.

His working life spans four long decades, from his early collaboration with Guru Dutt IN the 1950s to his work in Shyam Benegal's mega-serial Bharat Ek Khoj and one of the most acclaimed Kannada movies titled Hoova Hannu in 1993.

He is a recipient of the IIFA Lifetime Achievement Award in Amsterdam in 2005.

Murthy will be the 56th recipient of the Dada Saheb Phalke Award. The President of India will confer the award, which carries a cash prize of Rs 10 lakh, a Swarna Kamal and a shawl.

I got an opportunity to attend a function in Townhall in Bangalore on 2nd February wherte VK murthy was felicitated. I saw VK murthy from so near .I took his couple of photos and a viedo also .

Here are his photos and videos I took :

V. K. Murthy , a one-time violinist and jailed freedom fighter, was Guru Dutt's regular cameraman on his movies. He provided some of Indian cinema's most breathtaking images in starkly contrasted black and white. He also shot India's first cinemascope (75mm) movie, Kaagaz Ke Phool. For his contribution to film industry, particularly Indian film industry he was awarded the IIFA Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony held at Amsterdam in 2005.

The hero behind the screen V. K. Murthy is the one who created mesmerizing effects with his cinematography received the prestigious IIFA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. An ace Cinematographer from Bangalore was part of the Guru Dutt team. This stalwart was the cinematographer for one of the most acclaimed Kannada movie Hoovu Hannu - a directorial production of Rajendra Singh Babu and incidentally, Murthy has acted in that film too!

In 1959 Murthy shot India’s first cinemascope movie ‘Kagaz Ke Phool’ .Guru Dutt's Kaagaz Ke Phool, a movie considered his best was appreciated for its supremacy. More than anything else, what it won the most accolades for was its cinematography that created unparalleled history in the field of cinematography. It was none other than V. K. Murthy who did the magic and he even won a Filmfare Award. He repeated the feat for Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam getting the 1962 award. He never worked with any other directors as long as Dutt was alive. Some of Murthy's best work is found in Guru Dutt's movies like Pyaasa, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam and Aar-Paar. Murthy then worked with Kamal Amrohi on his masterpiece, Pakeezah and Razia Sultan. Post Guru Dutt, he like many of Guru Dutt team were not able to give any pinnacle work. In later years, he worked with directors like Pramod Chakravarthy (Naya Zamana, Jugnu), Shyam Benegal and Govind Nihalani (Tamas).

CHANGING CLIMATE - Badalaaguttiruva vaatavarana

ಬದಲಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವ ವಾತಾವರಣ . Although we are developing in terms of Science and technology life style of human beings are also changing . Of course change is life, we have to accept change.But this does not mean we have to forget a basic concept of this universe and nature of earth.If we go against nature, it will show adverse effects without any hesitation . In recent times as industries developed, pollution has increased, As population increased users of 2 and 4 wheelers have reduced as a result noise pollution, and air pollution automatically is raising. 

Everywhere awareness is increasing day by day saying that we should not cut trees, even if we cut its inevitable we have to plant new ones, we should not use paper unnecessarily as we have to cut trees to manufacture paper, we have to use plastics less and even if we use that should be having certain thickness as it may remain in soil for a long time which is harmful.

Climate change conference will be held on Dec 7-Dec 18 copenhegan http://en.cop15.dk/ where many countries are participating to plan on how to reduce pollution , how to retain this earth for future.Hope some useful discusssion will take place and world's different countries decision makers will useful decisions take care of our mother earth .Come lets join hands to save this beuatiful earth from getting polluted .

As Our Father of the nation Gandhiji has said :

The world has enough for everybody's need but not enough for everybody's greed'?. 

Lets Save this world for us and  for our future generation .

Kannada Rajyothsava: Karnataka Formation Day

Kannada Rajyotsava (Kannada: ಕನ್ನಡ ರಾಜ್ಯೋತ್ಸವ), or the Karnataka Formation Day (literally "Birth of the Kannada State") is celebrated on 1 November every year. This was the day in 1956 when all the Kannada speaking regions of south India were merged to form the state of Karnataka.


On this day of November first in 1956 (೧೯೫೬) Mysore state, comprising most of the area of the erstwhile princely state of Mysore, was merged with the Kannada speaking areas of the Bombay and Madras presidencies, as also of the principality of Hyderabad, to create a unified Kannada-speaking subnational entity. The newly unified state initially retained the name "Mysore", which was that of the erstwhile princely state which formed the core of the new entity. .....

KRISHNAJANMASTHAMI IN FRIENDS HOME :

Gangubai Hangal

Gangubai Hangal was born in Dharwad to Chikkurao Nadiger, an agriculturist and Ambabai, a vocalist of Carnatic music. 'Gangubai', as she was called in music circles, received only elementary education and her family shifted to Hubli in 1928.Initially, she learned classical music from Krishnacharya and Dattopant Desai before studying under Sawai Gandharva, a respected guru.She married Gururao Kaulgi, a Brahmin lawyer, at the age of 16. Her family was of low social status and for women of her generation singing was not considered appropriate employment; Gangubai struggled against this prejudice and made a career.

Our Son Sujay who started walking in last August 2008 has become more active now a days.

General election in India , 2009

India is currently holding general elections,the largest democratic election in the world to the 15th Lok Sabha in five phases on April 16, April 22-April 23, April 30, May 7 and May 13, 2009.

According to the Indian Constitution, elections in India for the Lok Sabha (the lower house) must be held at least every five years under normal circumstances. With the last elections held in 2004, the term of the 14th Lok Sabha expires on June 1, 2009.

The election is conducted by the Election Commission of India, which estimates an electorate of 714 million voters, an increase of 43 million over the 2004 election. During the budget presented in February 2009, Rs.1,120 Crores (€176 million) was budgeted for election expenses

Compared to last decade and couple of years back , there is a lot of changes in terms of Election campaign, disclosure of the assets of the person contesting the election, eduacted class contesting election, awareness among people has increased..

probable persons who can become Prime minister are Manmohan Singh of Congress, L.K.Advani of BJP, Mayawati of BSP...

Although there is couple of violence incidents here and there overall a peacefull election so far thanks to People, Election commission of india, Security, the government .....

Now a days after the introduction of Electronic Voting machines there is almost no chance of fake voting which is a very good change

One more interesting this is although people have enrolled their name & altough many of them had voiter id card could not vote in first two phases as their name is not appearing in the list may be due to lack of planning or discrepency..

When I went for voting i had to search my name for more than 30 minutes before voting..Finally got relieved when i saw my name & voted with id proof(we can vote even if have dont have Election id card \with ID
Proof such as PAN card, Driving licence, Bank passbook with photo card, ID card s given by college.....around 20 such ids so that we can use our power to elect our own leaders.

Nice to know software engineers, educated class people started contesting elections which is a good sign and from whom we can expect good governement and less corruption..

Hope India will see much more progress in coming years..
