ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯಾ

ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯಾವನ್ನು ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ತರಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ನಿಮ್ಮೆಲ್ಲರ ಸಹಕಾರ, ಸಹಯೋಗ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಆವಶ್ಯಕ.. ಸಾವಿರಾರು ಪುಟಗಳನ್ನು ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಅನುವಾದಿಸಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ.. ಅಷ್ಟೆ ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ಹೊಸ ಹೊಸ ಲೇಖನಗಳನ್ನೂ ಸಹ ಬರೆಯಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ.. ವಿಶ್ವದ ಜ್ಞಾನಭಂಡಾರವನ್ನಾಗಿಸ ಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ.. ಇಲ್ಲಿದೆ ಕನ್ನಡದ ವಿಕಿ.

ಕನ್ನಡದ ಯೂನಿಕೋಡ್ ಬಳಸಲು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಸುಲಭ ವಿಧಾನವೆಂದರೆ ಬರಹ ಡೈರೆಕ್ಟ್



ಬನ್ನಿ .. ನೀವೂ ಸಹ ಸಹಕರಿಸಿ ..

Syracuse Trip


I had been to Syracuse with Manoj's family on this weekend. It was really nice place. .. I took some shots... Have a look at it and place your comments

This is the County Convention center. I am standing just below the discoverer of America, Christopher Columbus
The city looked like deserted. Not many people could be seen in streets eventhough it was a weekend.

This was very attractive while walking on the roadside.. The green plant hugging the wall and car was too nice to be clicked :)

Corning Glass Museum ..


On 28th May, Manoj and I had planned to visit Corning Glass museum.

We started in the morning at around 8:30 AM and drove towards Corning via 17W.

It was fist time Manoj was driving long. He wanted me to accompany him so that he is confident. haha :)

Anyway I was with the map and helping him driving..










By 10AM we had reached the glass city, Corning. It was a brigh sunny day. There was a shuttle bus which leaves the visitor parking to Museum. We get on to the bus and reached the place..











Few pictures inside Museum .. --> You can get more here



1. Amazing Art .. You can see two layers of glass.

















2. Human Face Glass mould






























Glass Fruits ??
















Maithri, Manoj's elder daughter















This State of Art glass art is from India.. Amazing art work.. Currently this is my wall paper. Corning has spent lot of money to buy this from Royal Family from India.

The only similar glass article is in India











Glass Manufacturing Demo..
This glass artist is blowing since 25 years.. this is the first stage .. The glass will be at 1200 deg centigrade. he keeps rotating until certain time and strats blowing ..













This is the second stage where he is making the shape and opening the top portion..











This is the final shape.. Amazingly the shape turned into this one when he rotates the blowing pipe in a weired manner..

Cool art .. I was amazed..
