Koti-Lingeshwara temple: World's tallest Shiva Linga with 86 lacs Lingas!

Amazingly scenic and beautiful with 86 lacs (yes, you read it right!) and the World's tallest (57 ft. I guess) Shiva Linga - Koti Lingeshwara is located around 100 km. of Bangalore, in Kolar district. I came to know of it from Wikipedia and thought of visiting it today with my better half and mother-in-law.

The trip was a bearable one - overcoming all language barriers and "straighto", "Lefto" and "Righto"s. Finally after 3 hours and 110 km. we could reach Kotilingeshwara, just off SH 95. And it is worth the effort indeed. Temple timings are 6 AM-12-30 and then 3PM to 8 PM, open all days. Entry fees is nominal (Rs. 5) but if you are interested in taking snaps you have to shell out Rs. 100 extra. But, don't worry - it will be totally paisa wasool!

Attached some snaps of the magnificent temple.

Rajneeti: A Big goof up in the movie!!!

"In one of the scenes Arjun Rampal's expression is different. Otherwise it is same in all the scenes."

Really hilarious ... this one from one of rediff's notice boards. I find reading and going through the messages in rediff quite amusing. Anyway, really a big goof up from a really well made movie indeed.

Women's Day - some thoughts

Why to have a separate Woman's Day? After more than 3 years of living in the same roof with a member of the opposite sex, I believe 24x7x52 is woman's hour - actually it is the men who get very few chance to talk, to do what they like and to just have fun just like the bachelor days! Indeed, men desperately need a MAN'S DAY / MEN'S DAY (whatever you call, it's the same thing at the end) - one day where the wives would listen to them and agree to whatever they say, one day they can do whatever (mindless!) they like to do without worrying about what explanation they have to give at the end of the day to their respective better halves! But some dreams are never fulfilled. I have seen plenty of liberated women - how many have seen a liberated MAN?
