Waiting for the Mahatma
The Mahatma made five visits to Bangalore — in 1915, 1920, 1927, 1934, and 1936. He stayed at Nandi Hills and the Kumara Krupa Guesthouse. G.N. PRASHANTH recaptures the charisma of the great man who was assassinated this day 55 years ago.

Sport

From humble beginnings, Honnappa has risen to the apex of acclaim in his chosen sport. He is the first kabaddi player from Karnataka to be honoured with the prestigious Arjuna Award. This quiet achiever doesn't want to rest on his laurels.
A surprise gift from Sahara
Air Sahara sprang a pleasant surprise on all those teeing off at the Eagleton Golf course on the Republic Day.
Events
Candid images in quick time
The recently concluded festival of films in the City, organised by Collective Chaos, was an interesting exercise not only in film-making, but in communicating serious issues in the shortest time possible.
