Planning some changes on the blog

It has been some years that we started the blog as a small outlet for our thoughts. We have come a long way since that. Most of the crew is busy with their work and life. The number of active posters has also reduced to 3-4. Anyways, this is a rant which has nothing to do with the motive of this post.

Recently I noticed that the shout-box had been completely useless and instead had become an ugly spot. I have removed the shout-box.

I have also changed the name of the blog from rvinst (it made no sense to someone who was not from RV) to "Uncontrolled Stability". Still doesn't make much sense but I feel it is better.

I am planning more changes on the blog template. Some which I feel very important and some which aren't. I would welcome all (10??) readers of this blog to comment and provide suggestions to make this blog look better.

Thanks in advance

Bhava - Door to union concert

Magic. Sheer magic is how I can describe Ustad Zakir Hussain.
I had never imagined that a simple looking tabla would be able to produce a sound like a conch-shell. More over the laya and shabda knowledge of zakir was amazing to listen.


The kathak performance by his wife Antonia was no less either. All in all, it was an awesome performance.


Thanks to Surabhi Clemson for a wonderful concert.

ಉಗಾದಿ ಹಾರೈಕೆಗಳು

ಅಡರಿದ ಕತ್ತಲು ಸರಿಸಿ
ಅರುಣನಿಗೇ ಸರಿದಂತಹ ಇರುಳ ಕಳೆದು
ಭೂತಾಯಿಯ ನಡುಗುವ ಮೈಯನ್ನು
ಹಸಿರ ತೋರಣದಿಂದ ಆವರಿಸಿ
ಸುಖ ಶಾಂತಿ ವಿಜಯ ತರುವ
ಸರ್ವಜಿತ್ ಸಂವತ್ಸರದ ಉಗಾದಿ
ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಶುಭ ತರಲಿ

Imagine this...

Had a strange dream last night...Kanth was getting married (no, thats not the strange part!) with some girl, don't remember who..and many of us from our class are all having a get-together in the marriage hall..then all the profs start coming, PK, MSN, AJ etc... and then SV comes and starts crying!!
I go and ask him, watz the matter? He says, its tears of joy, and then asks me, "have you ever visited college after you graduated?", and I said, "hey balloon, already forgot that I came a few months back with Bandy during my India trip? now, don't be such a cry-baby!"

Meanwhile, PK goes and asks the server at the buffet if they have any bread and jam (to be read as jaam)!! I was thinking a lot about this part today morning, as to why that thing came in my dream, and then I realized, maybe its because of PK's famous words, "PCB is my bread and jam!"
Finally, AVM comes in his green scooter, dressed in a dinner jacket and flowery bow-tie!

at that point of time, I woke up and started laughing at my own dream which was about to turn into a nightmare with AVM's presence!! :D

funny what all we can experience in our dreams...can the above dream really happen? will AVM come dressed like that?

happy dreaming!!

ನಿನಾದ

ಕೊರೆವ ಚಳಿರಾತ್ರಿಯಲ್ಲೂ
ತಾರಸಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಬವಳಿಸಿ
ಬೇಸಿಗೆಯ ನೆನಪಿಸುತ್ತಾ
ಮನಕೆ ತಂಪೆರೆದು
ಹುಚ್ಚು ಹಿಡಿಸಿದ ಹುಡುಗಿ
ಸಂಗೀತಾ....

ವಿ. ಸೂ: ಕಳೆದ ಚಳಿಗಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಸಂಗೀತ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ-ಅನುಭವಗಳ ನೆನಪಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆದದ್ದು.
