It took me a year to adjust. Life has become too industrious for me these days. So I took a break from my weekly routine and planned this trip. The Narahari Parvatha (Hill) always fascinated me. The hill is located adjacent to the NH No 48 (now renamed as NH-75).https://harishbhat.com/my-clicks/the-raising-waves/Sun, 25 Sep 2011 09:06:21 +0000https://harishbhat.com/my-clicks/the-raising-waves/ Raising Waves- Someshwara Beach during monsoon seasonhttps://harishbhat.com/environment/16-september-world-ozone-day/Fri, 16 Sep 2011 06:23:53 +0000https://harishbhat.com/environment/16-september-world-ozone-day/16th September each year, we celebrate as International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer. On this day in 1987 the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed. This offers an opportunity around the world to focus attention and action at the global, regional and national levels on the protection of the ozone layer. The Ozone Layer serves the protective layer of naturally occurring gas, comprised of three atoms of oxygen found about 10 – 50 km above the earth’s surface that protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiation or UV-B rays of sun.https://harishbhat.com/environment/%E0%B2%AC%E0%B3%86%E0%B2%9F%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%9F%E0%B2%A6-%E0%B2%9C%E0%B3%80%E0%B2%B5-man-of-the-hills-a-must-watch-movie/Sun, 17 Jul 2011 14:59:00 +0000https://harishbhat.com/environment/%E0%B2%AC%E0%B3%86%E0%B2%9F%E0%B3%8D%E0%B2%9F%E0%B2%A6-%E0%B2%9C%E0%B3%80%E0%B2%B5-man-of-the-hills-a-must-watch-movie/It was during my graduation when I read the book ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ಜೀವ (Bettada Jeeva) for the first time.

In this part I am writing about the fine temples of Keladi and Ikkeri. Keladi and Ikkeri were under the regime of Nayaka Dynasty. Nayakas of Keladi were an important ruling dynasty of post-medieval Karnataka, India. They initially started to rule as a feudatory of the Vijayanagar Empire. After the fall of the empire in 1565, they gained independence and ruled significant parts of Karnataka including Shimoga.https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/sigandooru-in-the-backwaters-of-sharavati/Wed, 19 Jan 2011 14:27:00 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/sigandooru-in-the-backwaters-of-sharavati/Whenever we hear about the word ‘backwaters’… the only state of India which come into the mind is Kerala…. undoubtedly Kerala is home to the most beautiful backwaters on the planet. Last month (Dec2010) I visited the place called Signadooru… a small village in the backwaters of the river Sharavati (Linganamakki reservoir). The trip was an unplanned. My relatives went to attend a marriage function at Sagar, a beautiful place in the Shimog district.https://harishbhat.com/general/the-month-of-september-1752-a-d/Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:06:55 +0000https://harishbhat.com/general/the-month-of-september-1752-a-d/This is the right month to add this post in my blog…. Have you ever seen the month September of 1752 ?…. You may say that… ‘what a silly question this man is asking?’ and if you ask me the question…‘what so special about the month September of 1752…?’ My answer would be … Yes it is a special month of year 1752. If you look into the calendar of the year 1752 and concentrate on the month September, you find that some days are missing in that month.https://harishbhat.com/uncategorized/my-experiances-in-pycon-09/Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:48:56 +0000https://harishbhat.com/uncategorized/my-experiances-in-pycon-09/I was lucky enough to be the part of PyCon India 2009, a community conference by the Python developer community. The Conference was held on 26th and 27th September, 2009 at Indian Institute of Science (IISC) Bengaluru. I attended the conference with Nithin Kamath.

It is giving reasonable speed in WinXp. I am using BSNL NIC Card (CDMA 1x, which offers 144 k bps speed). A simple question irritating me…. ‘why net is slow in Mint? ’ I stated to investigate in google and other technology blogs. Finally I found 2 reasons for this problem.https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/installing-linux-mint-using-flash-drive/Fri, 10 Apr 2009 17:16:35 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/installing-linux-mint-using-flash-drive/The other day My friend had a problem with his Windows OS. Actually he was not able to connect with our office WiFi (because of VIRUS issues). I suggested him to go for Linux (because it is VIRUS free and no need to install any anti-virus softwares.) I demonstrated the Linux Mint, which was installed in my Lapi. Being fascinated by the looks and functionalities, he told me to go for it.https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/configuring-bsnl-nic-internet-card-in-felicia-linux-mint/Sun, 05 Apr 2009 15:57:48 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/configuring-bsnl-nic-internet-card-in-felicia-linux-mint/Recently I purchased BSNL NIC card for my browsing needs. The modem BSNL uses is Huwaei EC325. Along with the device they provide drivers in a Mini CD. The driver is for WIndows… not for Linux. Since I using Linux for my computing needs, I have to find a way to Configure it in MINT. The configuration steps: 1 Let us start by Installing ‘wvdial’. ‘wvdial’ is a intelligent PPP(Point-to-Point Protocol) dialer.https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/finally-i-found-felicia/Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:35:00 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tech-zone/finally-i-found-felicia/My search for the best Linux Disto has come to an end after a year. Yes it took me almost a year to decide and select the perfect OS for my Laptop. Finally I satisfied with the Mint. The version I installed in my laptop is ‘Linux Mint 6’. I have chosen Mint mainly because it includes media codecs. Along with the media codecs, it also supports browser plugins, DVD playback, Java and other components.https://harishbhat.com/general/think-diffierent-think-simple/Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:36:09 +0000https://harishbhat.com/general/think-diffierent-think-simple/I was reading a management case study yesterday. The basic principle of the case is KISS (Keep It Simple and Stupid). The case goes like this way When NASA began launching astronauts into Space, they found out that the astronauts’ pens wouldn’t work at zero gravity (ink wouldn’t flow down to the writing surface). It took them one decade and $12 million to solve this problem. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on practically any surface including crystal, and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 degrees Celcius.https://harishbhat.com/general/why-i-am-using-python/Sun, 28 Dec 2008 17:59:15 +0000https://harishbhat.com/general/why-i-am-using-python/I thought, it would be better to include a post in My Blog, as many of my friends asked me this question.

The problem sounds somewhat simple. I said just go with a simple ‘if’ and that’s the end of the problem. But they were unable to do that.. and finally I had to sit with them to solve the problem. It wasn’t that simple as I had realized.https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/a-round-of-siddra-betta/Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:42:37 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/a-round-of-siddra-betta/It is my fourth visit to Tumkur. Everytime I traveled through the National Highway No. 4 (Bangalore-Pune NH) road, I always used to wonder about rocky mountains on either side of the road. Being a nature lover, I always wanted to visit each and every rock personally. But practically speaking it is not possible. So I have chosen some of the famous Rocks of Tumkur. My aim is to treck some of the rocks of Tumkur.https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/safari-in-bannerughatta/Tue, 12 Aug 2008 06:50:18 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/safari-in-bannerughatta/It took me really long time to include one more post in my blog.

Almost every electronic device emiits a radiation. Now a days especially in India almost every person holds a device called mobile phone in his hand. The mobile phones are the one of the major source of RF. In the year 2010, it is estimated that 105 million population will be having this device. It is therefore no surprise that there is increasing concern over the possible health effect when using these device.
