@anusharavi10 Congratulations 👏👏

Absolutely thrilled to share that my translation of renowned Dalit playwright Kotiganahalli Ramaiah's "Let Polly Thrive - Yaare Yaane Koogadali" has been published by Manipal University Press. It's been a 9-year journey. What started as something to help a professor in his post doctoral thesis on post modern Dalit literature soon turned into a passion project. It's here! Finally! Ramaiah sir is an absolute genius who deserves all the fame.

of the city have elicited no response or even an acknowledgement. So much for efficiency!

@CPMysuru My messages to the Mysuru police commissioner’s and DCP Traffic’s mobile numbers (as given in the official website), an email to both of them and several calls to the police commissioner’s office land line to highlight and seek redressal for a few traffic problems

4) Stinking toilets. 2 of them were found locked. 5) No UPI machines to pay for entry tokens.

groups of caves; bus stands are there but these vehicles don’t come there; no UPI machines for payment for e-cart tickets; 3) Exit gate leads to push-cart and make-shift shops. The area is very dirty. This is the mandatory exit route, so there is no escape from this for tourists

The authorities need to pay attention to cleanliness and other aspects at the world famous Ellora caves’ premises: 1)There is a canteen within the complex. Least importance is given to cleanliness. Garbage, empty plastic bottles strewn around, overfilled garbage bins,

The cashier spent a good 10 minutes in arguments for change with the tourist who was in front of me! Also why don’t you have some ticket dispensers?

Why don’t you provide smaller, low-floor AC buses which ply frequently unlike now? For ASI: Why don’t you provide UPI facility for easy payments for entry tickets? Typical govt inaction taking years to catch up with technology!

Hope the concerned will act at least after seeing this: At Unesco site in Ajanta, once you reach the reception, a bus takes you to the mouth of the hillock where the world famous caves are situated. The bus, belonging to the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation,

Maharashtra is the home state of the Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari. When will the Central and State governments wake up?

Several stretches of the highway are just unbearable. Massive dust erupts once you pass these stretches. I wonder how the people on either side of these stretches live inhaling so much dust. It seems this is the condition for the last so many years.

The world famous Ajanta caves in Maharashtra may be Unesco’s World Heritage Site but the journey to the caves from Sambhaji Nagar (earlier Aurangabad, nearest city with airport and train facilities) is a back-breaking one.

Please join me in making this stupid abusive woman (mother & daughter) famous.
