Anand pathrika narrating Anandotsava-2010

“Sadananda means always happy, but during Anandotsava being more happy”, Prof Yuvaraju

welcomed the dignitaries and audience of the inaugural function-Anandotsava-2010 by tak-

ing us back to the time of the inception of this college, then into the fact that name

“Anandotsava” comes from our beloved founder Late Justice K S Hedge’s first name and into

the immediate future i.e. an entire walkthrough the events of this three day “state level musi-

cal extravaganza”. He welcomed the Chief guest of the function Capt. Ganesh Karnik,MLC,

Govt of Karnataka and Deputy Chairman of the NRI forum, Karnataka, the Principal Dr.S.Y.

Kulkarni, who “conceptualized our Anandotsava ,which is quite different from other competi-

tions”.

This followed by the Introduction

to the chief guest of the function

and lighting the lamp by dignitar-

ies-an auspicious gesture of start-

ing the three day event.

“If he had been forgotten it would

have been a gap in the feast”, by

quoting William Shakespeare the

Master of the ceremony Mario

D’Cuhna invited the chief guest

Capt.Ganesh Karnik to share with

the audience a few words of wis-

dom.

Capt Karnik began by saying that it’s no big deal for politicians to give speeches and it should

naturally not make him nervous, but “speaking before a campus that has made me, to share a

few words is making me nervous”. With such obvious modesty and simplicity Capt. Karnik

shared with the students an incident of Socrates once being asked by a few men the reason for

his profound knowledge and what his prayer to the almighty is? Socrates replied “God, make

me beautiful from within”. He cited the example of our beloved Principal Dr. S Y Kulkarni,

that even after such great accomplishments in his life it is listening to Pandit Bheemsen Joshi

that gives him a real inner bliss. We should try to understand and realize our “true inclina-

tions” he said. “Life is a continuous pursuit of happiness-look within, youth is bound to get

distracted but over years they will know their true inclinations”.

He expressed his desire to get the young entrepreneur Mr. Suhas Gopinath to this event. He

quoted what Mr. Gopinath had to say when he was asked by Captain as to how the former

achieved what he has been. The Former replied “ I got passionately involved into things I

did…”.By citing this small talk with Mr.Gopinath ,Capt Karnik shared the message that the

youth and others have to be passionate about what they do, if they do so then success and hap-

piness are bound to visit us.

Inaugural Ceremony-beginning the extravaganza


He shared his concern about fact that the enrollment ratio in India, a country that constitutes

40% of the worlds youth is just 9%.”We really must be fortunate and grateful to the facilities

and opportunities that we have got”. He also inspired the audience by saying “instead of work-

ing under someone, can you dream of creating an enterprise yourself, can you think of giving

job opportunities to others?” to corroborate this he pointed at our founder Late Justice K S

Hedge that not many Supreme court judges bothered to come back to their roots. He empha-

sized that the amount of development, employment opportunities created by one man’s return-

ing to his roots is mammoth and it really is unimaginable what should happen of us if a few

more of us decided to do so too!

“Anand is a difficult word in philosophy to explain; every day we must move from a lower

level to a level of higher happiness." he said. He also said that the best moment of his past in

this campus is his time of interaction with students. “This campus has made me…”a grateful

Karnik said.

He narrated the incident during alumni meet, when a question in a quiz was –what is that one

thing hostelers do the most? Capt Karnik by his

experience with students answered that sleeping

is the thing hostelers do the most, and this an-

swer matched the answer got by surveying! He

spoke profoundly about his concern that wonder-

ful opportunities are being given to the youth

and they are sleeping over them. He thus con-

cluded by quoting Socrates again but this time

underlining his message “God! make me beauti-

ful from within”. The audience roared with the

applause appreciating Capt Karnik’s simplicity

and profundity of the speech and the message he

delivered.

The MC Mario D’Cunha remarked that after such an inspiring talk the sleeping in hostels is go-

ing to see a dip! He then invited the Principal Dr. S Y Kulkarni to the dais to share with the stu-

dents, his thoughts and knowledge.

Dr .S Y Kulkarni started off by saying that Capt Karnik has always been generous and when-

ever is invited to NMAMIT without even slight delay agrees to come. To this Capt Karnik re-

marked that he was the one to get Dr.Kulkarni to Nitte from Hubli. The Principal agreed too

with him and there was a light moment between the two that showed their closeness not only as

colleagues but also as good friends. Dr.Kulkarni said that although NMAMIT has recently had

many branch specific fests the participation of other colleges in Anandotsava –10 really did not

see a dip. As a matter of fact the Principals of other institutions did express their concern but at

the same time shared an opinion that “since it is Nitte we want to send our students”. He said

that this is an occasion to celebrate our happiness. Adding humor to the ceremony he said that

with so many activities going on in the college, he has time only for Inaugurating events and

that he has become an “inaugurating expert”. He said “get more such events and make me better

versed in inaugurating”. The Anand of Anandotsava-10 seemed to have touched everybody by

his speech.

He ended his speech by saying “let this friendship between us and other institutions be like salt

and water that mix so well into each other. A little less salt makes it tasteless so does a little

more salt. Let there be a perfect balance in the friendship.”

Event coordinator Prof.Venkatesh Murthy delivered the vote of thanks.


Anandotsava is a festival of joy, commemorating our beloved foun-

der Late Justice K.Sadananda Hegde. It is the most highlighted

and celebrated annual event of our college. It is a platform to

showcase the hidden talents of engineering students of all the

streams from all over the state.

For this Mega Event, we started preparing in the month of Febru-

ary 2010 along with the coordinators, Prof.B.N.Yuvaraju and

Prof.P.Venkatesh Murthy under the able guidance of our

Principal, Dr.S.Y.Kulkarni. We, both staff and students have

been working together to make this event a grand success.

„Anand Pathrika‟ highlights all the activities of the first two days of this cultural extravaganza.

I congratulate all the team members of Publicity & Display committee for putting their best ef-

fort in bringing out this beautiful Anadotsava bulletin.

I wish you a very happy Anandotsava 2010!

My partings…Difficult to follow yeah?well,we don't

blame you, But we like to give you difficult things

because we know that it doesn't get better when it

gets tougher. The young artists spilled all the colors

they had carried from home to paint “my part-

ings...” .Some could, some failed, rest went missing!

But we never say that someone lost, do we? Spot

painting, nothing anand about the topic but paint-

ings that came in were actually visual treat!

If antakshari was just starting another song from the last letter of

the previous song, then we reckon you wouldn't have sat to witness

it. This antakshari was a tough one! With tunes picked up from

songs that we all hummed and some may be we were sung to by our

mothers, this antakshari was an ultimate test. The anchors, an en-

thusiastic Roshan Fernandes who also showed us some thumkes and

the melodious Archana Rao, lecturers of our college kept the musi-

cal experience undiluted. anand pathrika says,”phew!that was a

tough one man” yes! tougher the better, again.

Frowning, fighting, yelling. Stammering, stamping and

then contradicting self, yet smiling and laughing! That‟s

debate for you at Anandotsava-10. Although some topics

were clichéd anand pathrika is of the opinion that unar-

guably Nitte saw one of the best debates held in the

campus. With innovative IPL-like format for the final

rounds the enthusiasm of contestants fighting for and

against an issue got heightened as their spirits to win got

fierce!

Ek se bhale do, do they say so? Nitte saw the perfect

coordination between two dancers shaking legs! We

say, it was graceful. We say It was awesome. We say

it was Anand. Romance, passion, exuberance almost

all the expressions were seen on the floor. Just as if to

appreciate the performances the clouds poured cats

and dogs. Oh!what a sight it was.

Showing funny, Talking serious...

One of the other major attractions at Anandotsava-10 was on the spot caricature and cartoon

exhibition with the theme “global warming”

The artists, brother duo Harishchandra Shetty aka Harini and Jeevan were present in the

campus during Anandotsava-10. anand pathrika interviewed Jeevan.

1)Sir,given the fact that global warming is a serious topic, how easy or

rather how difficult it is involve humor in it?

Our aim is to educate the students by means of a medium that is

not just by the text book s but also using creativity as a tool.

The focus is clearly on the youth because we realize that they are

the ultimate office bearers of development. It is very much visi-

ble from my experience that its always easier to communicate

with the youth, they are always accepting and open to new ideas.

Keeping this in mind we have invited around 20 best cartoonists

from all over the state to present their best two cartoons on this subject, and I think

its doing a swell job.

2)The next question is quite opposite the previous. Accepted that humor is an effective way of

communication but often is just laughed over and taken for

granted. How effective has it been for you to imprint social mes-

sages in people’s minds?

It is important to make myself clear that we don‟t much

desire that cartoons in themselves get accolades. Our aim

has always been the subject what we work on. I think

even this case as the issue demands immediate actions

from every level of the society it is essential to reach the

masses via such initiatives. If you might observed the few

of the exhibits it can be noted that although humour is a

part the core ideas and concerns are CO2 emission ,water

scarcity ,ozone depletion et cetera.So I think it is reaching

well.

3) Sir, could you share with anand pathrika your experience at Nitte and the response you

have got so far.

Yes, that is a very good question. After a wonderful reception by NIT-K students, we

are overwhelmed by the amount of response we have got in NMAMIT.

Anandotsava in my opinion is an ideal event to promote awareness. But

in doing so we must not sound serious or lose our cool. Hence I think by

going through the opinion book it is been a

wonderful ride. Thank you

anand pathrika : Thank you Sirs for coming to Nitte and sharing your

thoughts and works with us. We wish the initiative a success that it de-

serves and we hope to inculcate these ideas to save green.

exhibits

Cartooning competition Just as if to reiterate the global warming message Anandotsava –2010 had a

solo cartooning competition as an event. The topic was “save trees” .Some

innovative in house artists showed their talent in the event. What was even

more thrilling is that all the winners were part of Nitte Education trust. So

are we more aware? Or are we more creative?

Keeping dumb... Well, If everything in life goes all perfect then you are going the wrong way. Anand pathrika remains

grim about the event Dumb charades. Given the high standards of DC in Nitte, this in particular was a

quiet event filled with classics that were more appalling than appealing. Only thing to boast about is

that Nitte showed its domination! Anand pathrika isn't judging anyone. Well we too have slipped here

often (that‟s for you to find!)and there still is a childish Anand in falling (failing), right?

Day 3-the Utsav is not done yet!

Anand Pathrika as mentioned before covers the first two days of Anandotsava-

2010.

Wont it be good if we gave you the insight of what's in store for the third day?

Here is the list of the events on day 3 and how we miss the pleasure of reporting

them to you!

Mad Ads-Fool‟s paradise..

Eastern solo singing-go oriental

Just a minute...

Group dance-hit the floor!

of faces and frescos...Face painting

A team performs an ad commercial for wackiest of the products!

Think of a punch line or punch a fellow actor the Laurel-Hardy style to generate humor.

The funnier the better.

Raag malhar,Deepak Raag,Ahir Bhairavi.Ghazal,thumki or kavvali.As long as its east-

ern (and as long as you sing well!) you are welcome to make magic by these Indian

notes. A perfect Anandotsava sprit. Who knows, there might be a Tansen waiting in

the hideout to set the stage on fire!

“Anandotsava is a cultural ex-

travva “ OBJECTION

“stammer” objection accepted

“...Anandotsava is cele-

brated..” “OBJECTION”

“Late start” objection ac-

cepted. This is JAM(just a

minute) for you. Show up at

the JAM for a rather 3D view

of it! The Anand Patrika feels

deprived of qualities such as

video live telecast et cetera!!

Needless to explain this! Dance one, dance all!

You have painted hands as a child. Time to be a child just for today.

Trash all those cosmetics today because paint on face is gonna eat up

all the space on your face! On the face of it this is one of the most

awaited events...

Sing along... Eastern group singing saw a passionate patriotism spirit! Some were great some

groups had no traits of music. But that‟s being just cynical! Do they say that a

cynic knows the price of everything and value of none? Here are the winners-

1-NMAMIT,Nitte 2-Nitte Usha Nursing Sciences, Mangalore

Stick to the skit! How often have you used your acting skills to get out of an awkward situation. Lets see, there‟s no

dearth for good actors in this world and they came pouring in in Anandotsava-2010.
