Tiger census to start in January
BENGALURU: Amid increasing incidents of man-animal conflict, particularly tiger capture and relocation operations around prime tiger reserves, the Karnataka forest department is training its staffers for the upcoming all-India tiger census. The tiger estimation exercise will be done in the first week of January. The dates are yet to be finalised. The exercise will first be done in Project Tiger areas and then in other forest patches. Training for Bengaluru Circle has been completed, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Wildlife, PC Rai told TNIE. Under Phase-1, data on carnivore and prey base density will be obtained. Phase-2 will comprise field reports, and Phase-3 will be the camera trap data. The Centre is targeting the release of the all-India estimation report in April 2026. The synchronised all-India estimation will be done in 2026. Karnataka was to start its annual tiger estimation exercise by the end of November, and complete it by mid-December. An official from the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change said, Due to multiple reasons, including improper training for all staff, it was postponed. All tiger states have been directed to follow one calendar for the estimation, to avoid confusion and duplication in the Monitoring Systems for Tigers -- Intensive Protection and Ecological Status (M-Str-IPES) portal and mobile app. The Status of Tigers, Prey and Other Mammals, in Tiger Reserves of Karnataka for 2024 report, released by the Karnataka forest department tiger cell on March 28, 2025, showed a decline in tiger numbers, compared to previous years. In 2020, Karnatakas five tiger reserves housed 403 tigers, which increased to 417 in 2022, dipped to 408 in 2023 and 393 in 2024. The all-India tiger estimation report, prepared by the National Tiger Conservation Authority and Wildlife Institute of India, showed a rise in the number of striped wild cats in Karnataka, year-on-year. In 2010, the state recorded 300. This increased to 406 in 2014, 524 in 2018 and 563 in 2022. Karnataka ranks second in the all-India estimation exercise after Madhya Pradesh, with 785 tigers. The all-India estimation also showed that the Central and Eastern Ghats landscape housed 1,439 tigers, while the Western Ghats landscape housed 1,087 big cats. We dont want to compete, but looking at the rising cases of conflict and number of new births, it seems like the number in Karnataka is on the rise. It is also unfortunate that many wild cats have been captured and relocated to rescue centres. Forest cover is shrinking, and the pressure on forest land is rising. Bandipur and Nagarahole tiger reserves house tigers beyond their carrying capacity, thus conflict is increasing. We have now adopted relocation to newer, safer habitats policy, said a senior official. A 3-phase drive The exercise will first be done in the Project Tiger areas Phase-1: Carnivore & prey base density data will be obtained Phase 2 will comprise field reports, and Phase 3 will be the camera trap data. In 2020, Karnatakas five tiger reserves housed 403, which increased to 417 in 2022 and dipped to 408 in 2023 and to 393 in 2024.
Special court junks advance bail plea of 6 GBA engineers in Rs 250-cr scam
BENGALURU: A Special Court in the city rejected the anticipatory bail petitions filed by the six engineers, including the two retired chief engineers of Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA), in connection with the alleged misappropriation of Rs 250 crore by creating bogus bills for the works not done in the city. Nowadays, this type of crime and scams by bureaucrats, politicians and contractors with high-handedness has become more common without the fear of law and moral responsibilities. The common people, having become the silent spectators, are witnessing this type of scams with no voice to resist because of high-handedness and lawlessness, said Judge K M Radhakrishna, Special Court for Lokayukta Cases. The accused are Doddaiah AB, retired Chief Engineer; Sateesh, Assistant Executive Engineer; Vijay Kumar N, retired Chief Engineer; Shilpa M, Assistant Engineer; Basavaraju, Assistant Executive Engineer, and one M Siddaramaiah. The court said that the investigating agency has recently conducted a search of the houses and offices of the petitioners. The seizure of several documents from petitioners and others is reported to the court. The court said that the documents and the case diary suggest that not only the people who filed the petition, but also other unknown individuals, were involved in the crime and acted in a very forceful or abusive way. According to the Lokayukta case, the petitioners allegedly issued work orders to the contractors to carry out the work in November and December 2019 by creating bogus bills in collusion with them and others, without carrying out the intended works. In January 2020, they released an amount to the contractors through Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Limited (KRIDL) based on bogus bills and misappropriated more than Rs 250 crore. A case was registered this year, and a probe is being done. Stating that the peculiar facts of the case pressed the necessity of custodial interrogation to ensure the safety of the material witnesses, evidence and the effective investigation, the court said that there appears to be every possibility of derailing the course of the investigation if anticipatory bail is granted. This court held that this is not a fit case to grant the pre-arrest bail, as no grounds are made out at this stage, the court added. The public prosecutor submitted that all the petitioners are high-handed people with the support of influential and invisible elements. The petitioners claimed that a false case was registered against them more than five years after the date of work alleged to have been carried out, that too at the instance of the then Member of Parliament, to meet the political expediency. Moreover, the complaint does not indicate the specific role played by each one of them and the manner in which they were involved in the crime, they alleged.
Cops bust interstate cyber racket, cash, laptops worth Rs 6.15L seized
UDUPI: The district CEN Crime police have busted an interstate cyber fraud racket that created a fake Campa Cola franchise website to cheat unsuspecting applicants. Two people from Bihar were arrested, and cash, laptops, and mobile phones worth Rs 6.15 lakh, were confiscated. The arrested accused are Dev Harsha, (20) and Chandan Kumar (29) both hailing from Nalanda district in Bihar. A police team carried out the operations in Patna and Bengaluru to trace and arrest the duo. The team seized 10 mobile phones valued at Rs 97,000, four laptops worth Rs 68,000, and Rs 4.5 lakh in cash from their possession. The case began after complainant Avinash applied online for a Campa Cola franchise a brand owned by Reliance Industries through a website he believed to be genuine. Later, he received emails and calls from the accused seeking documents and claiming his application was approved. Trusting them, he shared his educational certificates, bank statement and Aadhaar card. The accused then instructed Avinash to make multiple payments towards registration and product booking. In total, he transferred Rs 5.72 lakh to various bank accounts. When the suspects continued to demand more money, Avinash grew suspicious and realised he was cheated. Despite taking the amount, the accused neither provided the franchise nor returned the money. Following the complaint, a was registered at the Udupi CEN Police station under sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and section 318(4) of the BNS Act.
Fall in HIV cases doesnt show whole picture: Bengaluru docs
BENGALURU: As India marks World AIDS Day, doctors in Bengaluru say the reported fall in HIV cases may not reflect the full picture. According to national data, there is a decline in new infections because more people get tested early. However, specialists caution that some high-risk groups remain underrepresented. Every year, awareness campaigns help people understand HIV, how it spreads, and what precautions to take, says Dr Subramaniam Swaminathan, director of infectious diseases at Gleneagles Hospitals, Bengaluru. He noted that urban populations are increasingly aware of preventive measures, but gaps remain, particularly in rural communities. Accidental exposures, such as needle pricks or unprotected sexual encounters, still occur, and timely intervention through post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) has prevented infections in thousands of cases. Many patients come to us only when the infection has progressed significantly. Unless we create safe, confidential, and non-discriminatory spaces, we cannot control transmission in these groups, he added. He also highlighted that preventive medicines like PrEP remain largely inaccessible in India. Dr Mahesh Kumar JM, Internal Medicine, KIMS Hospitals, said, Needle sharing is still a big problem. Young people experimenting with injectable drugs often do not realise how quickly HIV and hepatitis can spread. Dr Aishwarya R, consultant in infectious diseases at Aster RV Hospital, said the presentation of HIV is changing. Earlier, patients often used to come with opportunistic infections like disseminated tuberculosis. Now, we are seeing more HIV-associated cancers, particularly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Pediatric cases and elderly presentations have declined. In the last two years, the incidence of new HIV infections has decreased by nearly 50%, said Dr Mahesh Kumar. Early diagnosis and treatment improve patients quality of life. A single pill daily, making adherence easier. Doctors emphasised that family involvement and community support are crucial in reducing stigma. Government programmes, particularly the National AIDS Control Organisation, have strengthened access to testing and treatment.
Man booked for issuing fake govt orders related to rural development, cheating GP member
BENGALURU: The Vidhana Soudha police have registered a case against a man for allegedly creating and circulating fake government orders related to rural development projects and cheating a Gram Panchayat member by collecting money from him for the project. The accused Chidananda Prabhugowda Biradar, a resident of Devarahiloaragi in Vijayapura. According to the complaint filed by N Ravikumar, Deputy Director (Rural Development) and currently the in-charge under secretary, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) department, a gram panchayat member, Mallanna Siddappa Nakettin, had submitted a petition to the RDPR department on November 24, 2025. In his petition, he alleged that fake copies of official government orders were being distributed, purporting to approve road works in the Sindagi Assembly of Vijayapura. Siddappa stated that he had been provided a fake copy of a government order bearing the number GRAAP:428-(1): RRC:2025 (E-1628885), dated February 16, 2025, which supposedly sanctioned road works under the Rural Development wing, and that the accused had collected money from him. Following this, the department verified the documents and confirmed that the order was fabricated. The accused had allegedly forged the signature of KC Devarajegowda, Director (Rural Development). The police said that Mallanna will be questioned based on the information provided. Prabhugowda will also be summoned for questioning.
Tech-driven SWM framework in the works
BENGALURU: Following directions from the Karnataka high court, the state government has mandated the constitution of a seven-member Nodal Oversight and Implementation Committee to roll out a technology-driven solid waste management (SWM) framework for the city. Acting on the courts orders, the government, in its order dated November 28, said it will establish a One City, One Platform digital system integrating dashboards, mobile apps, GPS tracking, weighbridges and CCTV surveillance for end-to-end SWM operations. The court had stressed that these components must function as a single ecosystem, where CCTV data, citizen reports and enforcement actions flow seamlessly through one platform. The committee will be headed by the additional chief secretary, urban development department, with the chief commissioner of the Greater Bengaluru Authority as vice-president. Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Ltd (BSWML) will be the member-secretary and the five municipal corporation commissioners will serve as members. The panel must oversee implementation and ensure compliance with the high courts mandated timeline. It may be recalled that the BSWML has been taking a slew of measures to improve solid waste management in the city, as Bengalurus image has taken a beating by the rising number of garbage blackspots on its streets and poor waste management. To discourage the public from dumping waste on roads and in open spaces, the authorities launched initiatives such as Kasa Suriyuva Habba (garbage dumping festival), under which many of those found disposing waste in non-designated areas had a load of garbage dumped right in front of their home. The BSWML also introduced a special drive offering a reward of Rs 250 to citizens who submit videos of litterbugs through a dedicated WhatsApp number or official social media handles. Additionally, the organisation is set to establish over 70 kasa (garbage) kiosks to enable people to dispose waste at designated spots without waiting for collection vehicles.
Citizen meet takes stand against reckless Tunnel Road Project
BENGALURU: Over 200 citizens, urban experts and scientists unanimously termed the proposed Bengaluru Tunnel Road Project (TRP) plan unscientific, fiscally reckless and environmentally disastrous. At a convention organised by the Save Bangalore Committee (SBC) on Sunday, the speakers highlighted that the detailed project report (DPR) contains 121 critical flaws, including plagiarised data, and warned that large-scale tunnelling could destabilise aquifers, worsen flooding and burden taxpayers for decades. G Shashikumar, convener, Save Bangalore Committee, described the Rs 42,000-crore project as unscientific, fiscally irresponsible and environmentally destructive. He warned that the project cost could escalate to Rs 70,000 crore, leaving citizens burdened with taxes and tolls for the next 40 years. He flagged 121 major flaws in the DPR and said the tunnel would serve only 1,800 car passengers per hour, compared to 69,000 by the Metro and 1.75 lakh via BMTC, making it an inefficient mobility investment. Prof Ashish Verma, Transportation Engineer and Convenor, IST Lab, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), in his video message, called the project a waste of public money and a myopic solution that will harm the city for generations. Verma highlighted that the project offers limited congestion relief, imposes exorbitant tolls, up to Rs 300 per trip, making it elitist and risks severe environmental damage, including flooding and soil instability. TV Ramachandra, Scientist Emeritus, Centre for Ecological Sciences, IISc, said, Tunnelling through the hard rock beneath Bengaluru risks disturbing aquifers and groundwater flows. The environmental cost will be permanent, disproportionately affecting the citys water security. He mentioned that the city is not prepared to handle floods and rains and pointed out that Bengalurus climate challenges stem from rapid urbanisation, loss of 88% vegetation and 79% water bodies and unchecked concretisation, which have intensified the urban heat island effect and disrupted rainfall patterns. Urban planner Prof MN Sreehari said the tunnel model suited coastal cities, not Bengaluru, and warned it would encourage private cars while neglecting public transport. Civic activist Kathyayini Chamaraj termed the project a waste of public money and a violation of institutional planning norms, seeking investment instead in BMTC, suburban rail and last-mile connectivity.
Bangalore weather update: Bengaluru is likely to witness cloudy skies with light rainfall today, according to the India Meteorological's Department (IMD) prediction. Bengaluru experienced its coldest day on Sunday as the daytime temperature slipped to just 20.2 degrees Celsius and the unexpected dip in mercury left residents shivering. The weather conditions in Bengaluru are likely to improve gradually from Tuesday onwards.
Max temp drops to 20.2O Celsius, Bengaluru shivers
BENGALURU: Bengalurus icy chill and drizzle became the stuff of memes, as the city tucked itself in and shivered through Sunday. The citys maximum temperature plummeted to 20.2 degrees Celsius, well below Saturdays maximum of 25.3 degrees, as Cyclone Ditwah moved inward. According to weather observer Ravi Keerthi, this is the seventh-lowest maximum temperature in Bengaluru for the month of November. This is the 7th lowest maximum temperature of Bengaluru City IMD Observatory for November. It had recorded 20.2C on 2nd Nov 2012. Lowest being 18.6C on 26th Nov 1976, Keerthi had posted on his social media account on Sunday. From sweat to sweaters, the sudden swing to London weather kept city folk indoors, and the reels coming: Bengaluru switched on the AC and lost the remote to celebrations of original Bangalore weather. The mist-and-masala tea weather has its own legions of fans, though many did wonder how they would brave a foggy Monday morning to get to work. Children covered head to toe in warm clothes venture out with their parents The citys minimum temperature was 18.4 degrees Celsius, a slight increase by 1.2 degrees, as compared to the normal minimum temperature of 17.2 degrees Celsius. On Sunday, the city recorded 0.2mm rainfall, and the relative humidity was 98 per cent. The forecast by Bengaluru Meteorological Centre, issued at 6pm Sunday, predicted the city will be cloudy, with light to moderate rain. Mist very likely during early morning hours in some areas. Maximum & Minimum temperature very likely to be around 22C and 18C respectively, the forecast read. The weather summary said cyclonic Storm Ditwah over southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining the north Tamil Nadu-Puducherry coasts moved almost northwards.
BMTC buses choke narrow Ejipura Main Road
BENGALURU: The Wind Tunnel Road in Ejipura (also called Ejipura Main Road), a narrow stretch that is congested by traffic from both sides, faces further problems because of alleged illegal operations of Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) buses. Though the designated bus-stop created traffic bottlenecks even earlier, an illegal stop by some buses at the tri-junction only makes the situation worse. Local residents alleged that the buses that are particularly responsible for the violation are 140-E and 141-E. These buses come from the Lower Agaram Road towards the Intermediate Ring Road that are connected by the Wind Tunnel Road. Instead of going all the way till the designated bus-stop, the buses stop at the tri-junction, let passengers out and wait till commuters fill up again before starting the return journey. Anita (name changed), a drugstore keeper in the vicinity, said it has been happening for the last two months. Most passengers here are devotees visiting the Sri Kodanda Rama Temple [near the traffic junction]. The buses let them out, and wait for passengers coming back from the temple, she said. 10 am and 5.30 pm are the time when the buses disrupt traffic the most, she pointed out. Even beyond the fact that buses take up most of the space on the road when parked, they completely throw traffic out of gear when taking a U-turn before their return journey. Frequently, more than one bus is seen parked in the area, while four-wheelers and autorickshaws use illegal parking in the area, painting a bleak picture of the pathetic traffic condition on the stretch. GT Prabhakar Reddy, chief traffic manager (operation), BMTC, said he will forward these concerns to relevant officials and get them sorted out.
Gill to commence rehab at CoE from Dec 1; likely to resume batting this week
Shubman Gill is set to begin his rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru from December 1.

His participation in the upcoming T20I series depends on his full recovery and readiness.
'Epilepsy shaped my sporting choices, says South Africa cricketer & coach Jonty Rhodes in Bengaluru
With bated breath, the packed stadium follows the ball as it races towards the boundary. Then, in a split second, Jonty Rhodes launches himself forward, body parallel to the ground and arm outstretched. The direct hit crashes into the stumps. Batsman Inzamam-ul-Haq is caught short of his crease. Rhodes is already on his feet, grinning, exchanging high-fives with his team as the crowd erupts in celebration. Today, that moment from the 1992 World Cup lives on beyond the stadium. Scroll down and the comments of a YouTube video of the Superman run-out, 15 years old, says it all 70 per cent of Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Jonty Rhodes. The Greatest Of All Time Another netizen warns, Stunts are performed by experts. Do not try this at home. (sic). The International Cricket Council (ICC) has since labelled the run-out as one of the greatest moments in Mens Cricket World Cup history. Yet, the former South Africa cricketer speaks with modesty about the moment that redefined fielding. The only thing going through my mind was the ball. That, and the fact that my throwing accuracy wasnt very good, says Rhodes, who was in ooru for the launch of Aster CMI Hospitals Centre of Excellence for Epilepsy. From backward point, he remembers seeing three stumps at the bowlers end, with Imran Khan batting and his hands up, giving him a better target. At the other end, there was just one stump on Inzamams side. Inzamam was young then. We didnt realise how bad he was between the wickets, but he was tall and lumbering. The only way I could cover those last two metres quicker than him was through the air. So I took the dive. Id never done it before and I never did it again. At the time, fielding was rarely celebrated. There were no specialised coaches, no drills designed to fine-tune athleticism. It was 90-over test cricket and I was diving around the field because I loved it. There was always a key message for me that there are no shortcuts. If youre passionate about what youre doing, hardwork doesnt feel like a labour. Its more of a passion, says the cricketer, who lives in Goa for six months of the year and spends the rest in Cape Town. That love translated into relentless effort in Test cricket diving, sprinting and anticipating, as he says with a broad smile, At one stage I felt like the father of fielding. Now I feel like the grandfather of fielding. Ive been around for a long time. Anticipation, he says, was his real strength. Everyone at that level has good reflexes. Anticipation is expecting every ball to come to you. That split second makes the difference between a good fielder and a great one, he shares. Its a philosophy that continues to shape modern cricket, visible in the athleticism now demanded of every player. Rhodes would later witness this evolution firsthand during his nine seasons with the IPL giant Mumbai Indians, joining the franchise in 2010. Cricket keeps changing and thats great, says Rhodes, currently the South African cricketer. Behind this legacy lies a story far removed from packed stadiums and roaring applause. Growing up in South Africa, Rhodes was diagnosed with a mild form of epilepsy at age six, at a time when the condition was poorly understood. My parents knew that something was going on, they just didnt know what. My father was a rugby player in his youth. Epilepsy certainly prevented me from playing rugby and following in his footsteps. So a key message for me was that when you know your limits, you can overcome them. Epilepsy shaped my sporting choices, he says, adding that hockey and football became his training ground, teaching him balance, spatial awareness and speed skills, that later defined his cricketing identity. Even safety was thoughtfully negotiated. When helmets werent available in South Africa, his parents ordered one from England. That early support shapes the message he shares today. Dont stop dreaming. Just make sure your dreams are aligned with what you can and cant achieve, he says addressing young athletes with epilepsy.

I am at that stage in my life where I have stopped over-explaining myself or justifying my line of action. I read something quite awe-inspiring the other day. It said, convince yourself that you have done the best that you could, rather than spending your life convincing others that you did. Spot on and unmistakably correct, I have to say! But I have noticed, the moment I feel insecure, thoughtful or pensive, nothing cheers me up like good food. It neednt be from posh hotels or restaurants. Hot podi idlis, buttery masala dosae or a vada pav can do the trick. The funny thing is that the more high-calorie the food is, the more the satisfaction! I doubt a bowl of boiled sprouted beans could conjure up the same state of bliss. There is a correct correlation in the secretion of dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin in calorific foods that do the trick of mood elevation. Others do it by exercising and the smart ones (like yours truly) do it by masticating! On one such rather gloomy day, I received a massive package which emitted the most heavenly aromas. On closer inspection, it was a package from a new S.E. Asian cloud kitchen called Shoyu. When the tag-line read premium Pan-Asian delivery by offering restaurant-quality dishes at home straight out of the box, I was more than sceptical! I have been at the receiving end of soggy noodles and limp dim-sums, and I know that Pan-Asian food tastes like cardboard when cold. But what impressed me was the thoughtfully designed eco-friendly packaging customised to preserve the three Ts, temperature, texture and taste, that ensured every dish arrived just right. Brilliant! Shoyu is the brainchild of two young entrepreneurs, Varun Tripuraneni and megastar Naga Chaitanya, two foodies who wanted Bangalore to experience their already successful chain of cloud kitchens. Their produce is fresh, their menu is vast and innovative, and one can see the meticulous planning and execution of their enterprise. Just the way it should be. Brains, beauty and brawn! Maybe the bigger restaurants and hotels should take a leaf out of their books on how to sustain the flavour and temperature while delivering their food. Bia Sandhu, Shyam Kumar and Alka Dev Whitefield is in another country altogether, and travelling to and fro with unorganised traffic, the mysterious Harry Potter-esque railways (metros that are perennially under construction), to belching trucks and buses, autos and two-wheelers with a suicidal complex, the journey from town is fraught with danger! But, when one reaches there, the amazing views of the orange sunset from the pool deck of DoubleTree by Hilton are sublime. Their GM, the dapper, Shyam Kumar invited us for the launch of the picturesque Captain Chips deck serving hot grills, cocktails and small plates on a cool winter evening. The evening was perfect, with a small group of people (who had braved the traffic), a crooner and a very attentive staff serving some amazing cocktails. A lovely star-lit evening! This brings me to the absolutely horrifying state of the roads and traffic. We cannot get away by saying Bangalore has great weather anymore. There are more than enough monies and intelligentsia represented in namma ooru. If they cant fight for our beloved city, then we must. It is ridiculous to comprehend that an 8 -10 km stretch sometimes takes two hours to traverse. Lets act, not expound! (The writers views are personal)
Golden Girls of '75: Sophia High School graduates to reunite after 50 years
In the midst of a newly imposed national Emergency in 1975, a class of 65 girls graduated from Sophia High School with big dreams and the education to make them come true. Life took them in different paths to far off corners of the world and varied careers but 50 years later, theyre set to come together, reminisce and once again get to know the girls, now women, whose presence coloured their childhoods. Its been constant excitement from everyone, says Namitha Shetty, director of Shankaranarayana Constructions and Hotels, who is organising the reunion at Bangalore Club on Dec 2. The celebrations will begin today with an informal lunch. There have been so many surprises. I had lost touch with many and when word spread about the reunion, I started getting calls from my classmates, wanting to talk. I was equally curious about them and the first thing I asked is to send me a picture because I dont know what they look like now! adds Shetty with a laugh. On Tuesday, the class will reunite for a lunch along with a few fun activities to get conversations going, including a photo booth and a quiz. Shetty explains, The photo booth has little posters taking us back in time to 1975 the Emergency, the prices of different commodities, and trivia like that.The quiz is all about our school days with questions about teachers, subjects, and other things we had at school in those times. The alumni will also leave with a thoughtfully-compiled yearbook detailing the accomplishments of each alumna with pictures to go along with it. The school, one of the iconic girls educational institutions in Bengaluru, has produced distinguished alumni since it was founded in 1949. Looking back on her time at the school, Dr Shalini Chandrashekar Nooyi, now the principal and dean of MS Ramaiah Medical College, says, With the kind of education that Sophias has given us, you can see that many of us have become women leaders doctors, businesswomen, and have become accomplished people. Sophias taught us to have confidence in ourselves, she says. Indra Lakshmanan Menon, the chairman and managing director of Senapathy Whiteley Group, echoes similar sentiments, saying, The school was classy but everyone wasnt affluent we had kids from all backgrounds, we had all races and religions and we were so cordial and loving toward each other. That doesnt mean that Menon and her classmates didnt get up to any girlhood mischief. Even though she says, there was very little room for it, Menon recalls with a laugh, We sometimes bunked class and went through the back (of the school), through the Bangalore Golf Club to Ashoka. It had just opened and was a big thrill in those days. One bottle of Coke was one or two rupees, so we bought two bottles, and 10 of us drank it. With old recollections coming alive, the group abuzz with chatter is ready to make new memories, promptly dressed in their house colours Anderson (yellow); Barat (red); Bennett (purple) and Julie (green).
For anyone who traverses Cunningham Road today, seeing the nightly traffic jams and choc-a-block storefronts lining its length, it would be hard to imagine that 60 years ago, it was populated by sprawling properties with beautiful colonial bungalows. But walking its stretch with a wandering eye and curious feet, you might just stumble into The Hatworks Boulevard, one of the last vestiges of this old world that one of its owners Rishad Minocher converted into a shopping centre in 2004. However, very soon, it will close its doors to make way for a new structure. With the next generation me and my (four) siblings, our kids and now grandkids on the way there are 18 of us. We are going for a development to make the space available to the family, explains Minocher, who lives in a home beside the colonial building. Blast to the Past The building was purchased by Minochers maternal grandfather, master hat-maker Nadir Maneckjee in the 1940s, after renting the house since the 1920s as the base of Imperial Hatworks, his hat factory, showroom, and residence. Although some reports have speculated that the house is 180 years old, its exact age is uncertain, explains Minocher, Before my grandfather, the house belonged to a gentleman named Mr Bhatta. We really dont have any idea on how old it was, but it was already an old home at the time my grandfather bought it. While the structure has the typical layout of colonial homes, with a long corridor lined with rooms, Maneckjee added his own touches to it. He did a lot of restoration and modernisation work. We have some old photographs of the house in a very bad condition and you can make out that the house has changed, says Minocher, adding, He added a lot of Parsi elements, like the flame near the roof as the holy fire is central to the religion. The flooring too, has changed. In the old days, it used to be Kadappa stone and red oxide. But the central part of the house where my grandfathers showroom was, had tiles from a Mumbai manufacturer who made Italian-style tiles in India as part of the Satyagraha movement. The outhouse currently home to Trippy Goat Cafe (a reconstructed building after the original structure caved in), used to be Maneckjees workshop where he crafted headgear for the armed forces, and later even sola topis (safari hats), polo hats, riding hats, and the occasional royal turban. My grandfather developed the very first pre-tied turban for the maharaja of Mysore the uncle of the previous maharaja Srikantadutta Wadiyar, says Minocher, adding, Most of the generals bought their hats from my grandfather. He was also one of the founders of the first Rotary Club in Bangalore so he was very much in public life in those days. After Maneckjees passing in the 60s, his daughter, a teacher, inherited the business. But without the master craftsman at its helm, its glory days were past. Since all the hats were hand made and the makers were trained by my grandfather, without him around to train new people, it started dying out, even though it was well known in its day, says Minocher. An old photograph of Hatworks Boulevard Whats next? As businesses have started to vacate, the end of The Hatworks Boulevard is here but what will replace it is uncertain. We are still figuring it out. Were very sad to move on as my kids were born here and weve lived here all this time. Its the biggest change for us. Since my grandfather bought the property which went to my mother, then to us, we believe we are custodians, so whatever we do, it will represent us as a family. We are not thinking of building a commercial space, it will mostly be residential with, maybe a little more to finance the building, says Minocher, adding that rebuilding the heritage space outside the city is a possibility.
