Thursday, 30th: Pawaman Joshi, close friend of mine, celebrated his 25th Birthday in Pune, India.
Later on the day, Gautam Gambhir and VVS Laxman hammered double centuries on 2nd day of the 3rd test match against the world Champion team, Australia in New Delhi. It is the first time in the history of Indian cricket, that two batsmen have scored double centuries in an innings.

Late night, our kannada radio, Radio Girmit recorded highest number of listeners, till date and the number crossed fifty mark!!! (52 to be precise ;) ). i.e. exactly after one month of its launch!!! Congrats and best wishes to the whole team of Radio Girmit.

Friday, 31st: Deepya urf Appu, future management guru and entrepreneur celebrated his 25th Birthday in Gadag.

Our suTTaman urf Neerya arrived @ 171, from India, after a break of around 5 months.

First images taken from Terrain Mapping Camera of Chandrayaan-1 were received by Indian Deep Space Network @ Byalalu, which were later processed by the Indian Space Science Data Centre.

This time, with his online radio, exclusively for kannada music lovers!!! That too with catchy names and captions!!! He calls it Radio Girmit… Nimma achchu mechchina kannada radio.

Cyber and Deepya coined the name Radio Girmit and Naarya came up with cool caption, “Forget your hermit with Radio Girmit, You tuck-in your thoughts, we serve the symphony”.

Deepya gave it traditional touch by defining it as, “NovEmba HuLi + Kanasu Emba Sihi + Ullasa emba masale + Nenapemba Churmuri + Cheshte emba Vaggarane = Jeevanavemba Girmit”
“HuLi aagiro novu, Sihi aagiro Kanasu, Ullasadante iro vaggarane, Nenap aagiro Churmuri ella haaki serve maaDta idivi nimagoskara Jeevanavemba Girmit… KeLi ananda paDi”

Cyber always dreamt of starting his own radio and is now living his dream!!!

I must not forget to mention one more person here, who is the most important in making this dream come true. Its Madhukar, currently working for Informatica in California, who is helping Cyber with his nice collection of kannada songs!!!

ALL the best wishes for Radio Girmit!!! Hope it will be a big hit!!!

S.H.A.A.N.Y.A :)
