I read the kannada translation of the Bengali classic ‘saheb, bibi aur gulam’ when I was in middle school. The ella ballavarilla book is dedicated to ‘Ahobala Shankara’, who translated many Bengali classics to kannada. Many more such surprises were in store today.
KANNADA BOOKS BEECHI MOVIE
And to add to the fun, I’m hearing “giLiyu panjaradoLilla”, a composition of purandara dasa, from the movie Amrutadhare being played on DVD downstairs :) My father even recalls having sung song in a play duing his school days. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had heard most of the keerthanas I randomly browsed through. Sanchaya an anthology of poems by da.ra.bendre(dattatreya ramachandra bendre).Ī collection of popular keerthanes by purandara dasa – the father of karnataka sangeetha (also known as carnatic music). I had read good reviews about this book in vijaya karnataka(?). Sharada prasad was a senior bureaucrat, who served with three prime ministers and was an editor with Indian Express. It is this power of kannaDa writing that moves me, inspires me.Įlla ballavarilla – a kannada translation of HY Sharada prasad’s – `The book I wont be writing and other essays’.
So, this one book gave us one of our greater comedy writers of our time. The book moved him so much that, he decided to ‘scribble’ all that he knew in kannada in his life time. But, one day, he was stuck with this book while traveling and he read it with tears welling up in his eyes. In fact, beechi’s whole contribution to kannada can be attributed to this one book(sandhya raga).īeechi was a Police officer in the British government. However, what got me interested in Sandhya Raga is a mention of the book on Beechi( a very popular comedy writer) – ‘bulletsu, bombsu, bhagavadgeete’. Rajkumar played the role of the protagonist.
The film sandya raga is based on the same book. Sandhyaraga is a classic kannada novel with a social theme written in 1935 dealing with the life of a singer. I was planning to buy A.na.kru’s sandhyaraaga for some time now. Today, on the way back home I stopped at Ankita pustaka, the book shop on DVG Road in Basavanagudi.
