Long long ago.. actually, not so long ago, there was a nice long road with huge trees on either side and students and elders alike used to cycle to their school/college/workplace. The same could be said about most of the roads in Bangalore until one fine day when the world realized what a ‘cool’ place Bangalore is and the rest is history.
Cliched as it may seem, a lot of people say Bangalore has gotten warmer in the last 10 years.
So, here’s our teeny weeny bit to reclaim the Bangalore that we know of. Join us as we spread the message of cycling in Bangalore.

Alliance Francaise de Bangalore commences Kannada classes Bangalore,DH News Service: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 *French institute, the Alliance Francaise de Bangalore (AFB) has now ventued to teach Kannada.* “Learning Kannada is like opening a window to the culture of Karnataka”
said Chiranjeev Singh, former Additional Chief Secretary, of Karnataka, while speaking after inaugurating the first session of Kannada classes at the institute here on Tuesday.
*
Multi-level course
*
Singh said, “The beginners’ course in Kannada would lead to other levels where the student would not just stop at conversing, but also start appreciating poetry and other forms of literature in offered by this classical language.”
Speaking on the occasion, Lucas Malcor, the course director said, “Though the Alliance Francaise de Bangalore has many Kannada speakers among its teachers and experts trained by the French Embassy in teaching French as a foreign language, the institute decided to team up with experts in the field, like Kannada Prasara Parishat in teaching Kannada to foster new avenues of dialogue.”
Partnered with Kannada Prasara Parishat, Alliance Francaise de Bangalore has begun the Kannada course and the institution aims to help French nationals, foreigners and non-Kannada speakers make most of their time in Bangalore by connecting culturally and linguistically with the City.
*Limited seats

The Kannada language class is restricted to 15 students with an objective of learner centered approach.
The first session of Kannada classes began on Tuesday. For further information on the language course call: 4123 1340.

Choe Khor Sum Ling, a Buddhist Meditation & Study Center, is organizing a class on “Establishing a Daily Meditation Practice”.
Meditation is of great importance in all religions, including the Buddhist tradition: prince Siddhartha became the Buddha, the Awakened One, after achieving Enlightenment in the profound meditation under a Bodhi tree.
By training in meditation, we create an inner space and clarity that enables us to control our mind regardless of the external circumstances. Gradually we develop mental equilibrium, a balanced mind that is happy all the time, rather than an unbalanced mind that oscillates between the extremes of excitement and despondency.
If we train in meditation systematically, eventually we will be able to eradicate from our mind the delusions that are the causes of all our problems and suffering.
The class will be held by Venerable Tenzin Namjong, a Buddhist monk. Originally from Hawai, USA, Venerable Namjong is currently studying Buddhism in Sera Jey Monastic University in Mysore district of Karnataka.
The class will be of equal interest to advanced practitioners and absolute beginners.
Schedule: June 13, Saturday, 06:30 PM – 08:30 PM
Venue: Choe Khor Sum Ling Center, Ashwini, No. 24, 1st floor, 3rd Main Rd, Domlur Layout, Bangalore 560071
