Poornachandra Tejaswi stands apart with his dazzling prose, curiosity, wit, and originality. A literary rebel, explorer, agriculturist, photographer, and activist, Tejaswi’s modern voice — unlike that of his legendary father Kuvempu — blended science, folklore, and adventure.He wrote about everything from alien civilisations and quantum physics to the raw beauty of Malnad. His irreverent humour — rich in sarcasm and irony — wasn’t just comic relief, but a tool to skewer bureaucracy and superstition.Tejaswi bridged literature and science, making complex ideas thrilling and accessible. His novels — Chidambara Rahasya, Jugari Cross, and Karvalo — became bestsellers and literary milestones, mixing gripping stories with sharp socio-political insight.Nearly two decades after his death in 2007, his works remain strikingly relevant. His critiques of blind faith, inequality, and environmental destruction feel more urgent than ever.Inspiring readers to view the world with wonder, scepticism, and laughter, Tejaswi endures as a curious rebel with a pen — questioning, entertaining, and enlightening.In this episode of Noorakke Nooru Karnataka, host Varsha Ramachandra speaks to director-writer Dr. Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar and filmmaker Shashank Soghal (Daredevil Mustafa) about the enduring enigma that is Tejaswi.2025-05-2140 min

Bhakti Republic with Amit Basole | Radio Azim Premji UniversityShakti x Bhakti - The Fearless Women Poets of IndiaAcross centuries, Bhakti poetry has resonated through temples, streets, and the hearts of millions. But among these voices, some rise with a quiet defiance—those of women. In an era of rigid hierarchies, they dared to sing of love, liberation, and equality. Their devotional poetry, delicate yet resolute, were not mere expressions of piety but declarations of justice.From Akka Mahadevi’s ascetic surrender to Mirabai’s unwavering defiance, from Sule Sankavva’s fearless faith to Janabai’s poetry of self-worth, these extraordinary women carved a space for themselves in a world that sought to silence them.

Radio Azim Premji Universityदिल की आवाज़ें | Sounds of the Heart | EP 3 of Likhe Jo Khat Mujhe | Radio Azim Premji Universityबचपन में जिन माँ-बाप की बातें पत्थर की लकीर लगती थीं, बड़े होकर उन्हीं से असहमति होने लगती है। विचारों की यह खाई अकादमिक दुनिया से जुड़े लोगों के लिए और गहरी हो जाती है, जब उनके सिद्धांत घर की हकीकत से टकराते हैं। “दिल की आवाज़ें” एपिसोड में एक माँ अपने बेटे—जो जेंडर स्टडीज के प्रोफेसर हैं—से अपने जीवन के संघर्ष साझा करती हैं। वह बताती हैं कि समाज की पहचान केवल किताबों से नहीं, बल्कि जीवन के अनुभवों से भी बनती है। माँ की बातों में एक हल्का-सा उलाहना भी है—“तुम पढ़कर जेंडर सिखाते हो, हम जीकर सीखते हैं। शायद मेरी ज़िंदगी के नोट्स तुम्हारी क्लासरूम में काम आएं।” बड़ा होने के साथ-साथ हम अपने माता-पिता को सुनना कम कर देते हैं, जिससे वे धीरे-धीरे चुप हो जाते हैं। लेकिन इस एपिसोड में, एक माँ यह चुप्पी तोड़ती हैं—प्यार, फिक्र और समझ के साथ। सुनिए “दिल की आवाज़ें”, “लिखे जो खत मुझे” के एपिसोड 3 में, सिर्फ़ रेडियो अज़ीम प्रेमजी यूनिवर्सिटी पर। ____________ In Dil Ki Awaazein (Sounds of the Heart), a mother shares her struggles with her son, a gender studies professor, offering a personal perspective on societal identity. She highlights the gap between academic theories and lived realities, reminding him, “You study gender; we women live it.” As children grow, they often stop listening to their parents, silencing them unintentionally. In this poignant episode, the mother breaks that silence—chiding yet understanding. She urges her son to keep learning, just as she continues to evolve.

Born on September 15, 1861 in the village of Muddenahalli about 60 km from Bengaluru, Visvesvaraya was told that he was of poor health and would not live long. His parents, who had migrated from Andhra Pradesh, ignored the disturbing prophecy and gave him a good education. Young Visvesvaraya continued his studies in Bangalore and got his bachelor’s degree from Madras. Later, he graduated with an engineering degree from Pune’s College of Science under the University of Bombay.ಸರ್ ಮೋಕ್ಷಗುಂಡಂ ವಿಶ್ವೇಶ್ವರಯ್ಯ. ಇವರ ಹುಟ್ಟುಹಬ್ಬವನ್ನು ಇಂಜಿನಿಯರ್ ದಿನಾಚಾರಣೆ ಎಂದು ಭಾರತದಾದ್ಯಂತ ಆಚರಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. 1861 ನೇ ಇಸವಿ, ಸೆಪ್ಟೆಂಬರ್ 15. ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನಿಂದ 60 ಕಿಲೋ ಮೀಟರ್ ದೂರದಲ್ಲಿರುವ, ಮುದ್ದೇನಹಳ್ಳಿ ಗ್ರಾಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಜನಿಸಿದ ವಿಶ್ವೇಶ್ವರಯ್ಯನವರಿಗೆ ಆರೋಗ್ಯ ಸರಿಯಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಹೆಚ್ಚು ದಿನ ಬದುಕುವುದಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದರು. ಆಂಧ್ರಪ್ರದೇಶದಿಂದ ವಲಸೆ ಬಂದಿದ್ದ ಈತನ ತಂದೆ ತಾಯಿ, ಗೊಂದಲದ ಭವಿಷ್ಯವನ್ನು ಗಮನದಿಂದ ತೆಗೆದುಹಾಕಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಉತ್ತಮ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ನೀಡಿದರು. ಯುವಕನಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆದ ವಿಶ್ವೇಶ್ವರಯ್ಯನವರು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಅಧ್ಯಯನವನ್ನು ಮುಂದುವರೆಸಿದರು ಮತ್ತು ಮದ್ರಾಸ್‌ನಿಂದ ಪದವಿ ಪಡೆದರು. ನಂತರ, ಅವರು ಬಾಂಬೆ ವಿಶ್ವವಿದ್ಯಾಲಯದ ಅಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂಣೇಯಲ್ಲಿರೋ ಕಾಲೇಜ್ ಆಫ್ ಸೈನ್ಸ್‌ನಿಂದ ಎಂಜಿನಿಯರಿಂಗ್ ಪದವಿ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಂಡ್ರು.Visvesvaraya applied his education to solving the problems of India. From irrigation to public works, he left his mark on many projects in the Deccan Plateau. His flood protection solution for the city of Hyderabad and for preventing sea erosion of the port of Visakhapatnam are considering marvels of engineering even today.ವಿಶ್ವೇಶ್ವರಯ್ಯನವರು ತಾವು ಪಡೆದ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣವನ್ನು ಭಾರತದ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಪರಿಹಾರ ನೀಡಲು ಬಳಸಿದರು. ಡೆಕ್ಕನ್ ಪ್ಲೇಟುವಿನ ಅನೇಕ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳಿಂದ ಹಿಡಿದು ನೀರವರಿಯವರೆಗೆ, ಅವರ ಬೆರಳಚ್ಚಿದೆ. ಹೈದರಾಬಾದ್ ನಗರಕ್ಕೆ ಅವರು ನೀಡಿದ ಪ್ರವಾಹ ರಕ್ಷಣೆ ಪರಿಹಾರ ಮತ್ತು ವಿಶಾಖಪಟ್ಟಣಂ ಪೋರ್ಟ್ ನ ಸಮುದ್ರ ಸವೆತ ತಡೆಗಟ್ಟಲು ನೀಡಿದ ಪರಿಹಾರವು ಇಂದಿಗೂ ಎಂಜಿನಿಯರಿಂಗ್ ಅದ್ಭುತ ಸಾಧನೆಗಲಾಗಿ ಉಳಿದಿವೆ.A high point in his career, for which he shall always be remembered with gratitude in Karnataka, was the construction of the Krishna Raja Sagar dam in the princely state of Mysore.

Think With Niche10 Life Lessons from Azim PremJiInnovations, bold ideas, and being unique are extremely valuable at times.
