Hi.

You have been busy and then you accidentally click the send button on your Gmail account. Now you want to revert but how? Here’s the undo send feature for Gmail. This amazing feature gives you a window period of 05-30 seconds to undo send.

Below are the steps you need to follow to use this feature(Red Arrow for your reference):

1. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of your Gmail window and select Settings from the dropdown menu.

2. Select Labs from the row of tabs.

3. Scroll all the way to the bottom where you see Undo Send.

4. Click Enable.

5. Hit Save Changes at the bottom.

Now when you send an email, the yellow dialogue that displays "Your message has been sent" will also give you the option to Undo.

Click it, and the email will reopen, un-sent, in the composition window.

By default you have 10 seconds to click before the Undo button disappears, but you can adjust that window of opportunity. Go to Settings > General > Undo Send, and select a cancellation period up from 05 to 30 seconds.

Hope this helped you.

NO KANNADA IN CANARA BANKS? THINK AGAIN!!

2013-07-18T08:45:00.001-07:00

Hi,

This is an experience I would like to share with all of you. We already know as to what the status of Kannada is in Bengaluru. Who were once a majority are turning ourselves into minorities day by day. What was to be a Metropolitan has changed into Cosmopolitan. I never wanted to write these onto a Blog but a recent post by Mr. Karthik
"ARE YOU A KANNADIGA" http://bangalorecityblog.blogspot.in/" has made me pen these down for you.

I had visited Canara Bank to deposit cash to my account. I filled the pay in slip in Kannada and approached the counter. On my turn, I gave the pay in slip and cash to the Cashier. The Cashier returned the pay in slip and cash stating that he cannot process the request as the pay in slip was filled in Kannada. I asked him to process it, as Kannada is the language of the state. But my request was declined. I approached the Manager and explained him about the attitude of the Cashier for which the manager instructed the cashier to process the request.

Even after this, the Cashier argued that I could as well have written the pay in slip in English. I replied that writing the pay in slip in Kannada was my right as i'm living in Karnataka. Hence I lodged an official complaint to higher authorities for obstructing me to perform Banking transactions in Kannada. I also lodged a complaint in Public Grievances Portal of Central Government.

OUTCOME: The Bank apologized for the attitude of the Cashier and regretted for the inconvenience. Also the Cashier apologized and assured that he would not repeat this in future. He did even mention that he would learn Kannada to help serve people better.

The story ends well but what are we to take from this? We see these types of incidence in our daily life and keep moving on with it as we know that we cannot compel anyone to learn Kannada. As explained above, I never compelled the Cashier to learn Kannada. Being a KANNADIGA, I performed my Banking Transaction in Kannada (Which I can rightfully do). Since his Job was in jeopardy, the cashier agreed to learn Kannada. What if all of us start communicating/Transacting in Kannada? This would make Kannada a necessity for all those who think it’s just an Option. I have done my bit; it’s up to you now.

Kumara Parvatha Trek: 01 & 02 January 2013

2013-01-06T17:30:00.000-08:00

KUMARA PARVATHA TREK

Pushpagiri or Kumara Parvatha(KP in short) is believed to be a Trekker's Paradise. Standing at 1712 meters, this Gaint, taking almost everything even from an experienced trekker is said to be the toughest Trek in Karnataka. Kumara Parvatha has been one of the most longed places I have wanted to visit. Finally it became a reality on 01 Jan 2013. So I (Sunil) along with two others (Kiran and Manu) decided to take a shot at it on 31 Dec 2012. All of us were very much exited that we are about to trek KP.

KP can be accessed by 2 routes:

1. Temple Route: Take a left from the temple and follow the Tar road (1.2 km). There you will find a board that points the beginning of your Trek. From there on, you will have to keep moving on the trail that is created by Thousands of trekkers where you will reach Girigadde and then to the Peak.

2. Somvarpet Route: Reach Somvarpet through Bus and take a Bus to Beedalli. From there to Shantha Mallikarjuna Temple --> Beedalli RFO --> Peak.

We decided to Trek from Somvarpet Route and took our Bus to Somvarpet on 31 Dec 2012. The Bus filled with people left Majestic at 22:10 hrs and we reached Bellur cross at about 00:30 hrs. The Bus stopped at MTR (Manjunateshwara Tiffin Rooms) were we had Idly and Coffee. We reached Somvarpet at 04:30 hrs on 01 Jan 2013.

At Somvarpet (Manu and Kiran)

We had a light Tiffin as our Bus was scheduled to come at 07:00 hrs. At 07:00 hrs, a bus named “BhagyaLakshmi” reached Somvarpet and we it left at 07:25 hrs. According to the Locals there, Beedalli is about 23 Kms from Somvarpet. We took Tickets to beedalli (25 Rs per person) and got down before Beedalli. This is because we wanted to see Mallalli falls. So we had to Trek 3 Km from the main road to reach the falls. There one has to pay an entry fee of Rs. 5 per person. Vehicles as Big as Tempo Travelers can also reach the fall with little difficulty. The view of the falls was spectacular. One can even go down to the fall but it would take some time (Chances can be taken if you’re not going to trek KP).

Mallalli Falls

We didn’t waste much time and hence we took a forest road to the left of the Falls. Following the path we came across a small stream. After crossing the stream was our first obstacle. We were stuck between 2 roads : one to move straight and the other right. We took the Straight Path and kept moving till we could find a few houses (Guess 4-5 houses). Just 100 mts from the Houses is a tar road (Take Right) which takes you to Shantha Mallikarjuna Temple which was about 3.5 km from there.

Shantha Mallikarjuna Temple

Pongal

The Temple is a very nice place as u get cold water and sometimes Food as well. We got Pongal as prasada there. We filled our water Bottles and left for the peak at 12:15 hrs and reached Beedalli RFO at 12:45 hrs (About 1 Km from the Temple).

Beedalli RFO

At the RFO, one has to pay Rs. 200 to get an entry into the Forest. The Peak is about 07 Km from the RFO. You will find a broken bridge at the start of your trek near the RFO. There are Regular sign boards every 0.25 Km from the RFO (although you may feel that the distance on boards are wrong). On the way to the peak you will find 2 steep mountains (around 2.5 km to the Peak). The first one is smaller while the second one can make you cry ;-). After you cross the second mountain, Peak is just about 10 min from there. (It mentions as 2.0 km to the peak near the 2^nd mountain but that is wrong). Unfortunately our luggage was way too large for us to cross the 2^nd mountain and hence we decided to move back (Thinking the remaining 2.0 Km will be of many such mountains) and took a diversion to Girigadde (One can find 3 sign boards there: one to the Peak, the 2^nd to Girigadde and the 3^rd to Beedalli RFO). Probably the worst decision we took because of which we had to suffer later.

So we had to trek another 6.75 Km to reach Girigadde. Sooner or later our Trek started to push ourselves to the limits. What was once a pleasure Trek became one hell of a nightmare.

1. Firstly there are no sign Boards from the diversion. Hence finding your way out is very difficult. Nor will u find a unique Trekkers path.(The only thing that helped us was the covers of chocolates, debris of fruits, water bottles, etc) The routes are very confusing and hence if u don’t want to risk yourself from being lost in the forest, ALWAYS TAKE A GUIDE.

2. The 6.75 km route is almost impossible to Trek especially with your Backpacks filled. Since you would have Trekked more than 10 Km, you feel very exhausted pushing your body to the limits.

We then reached another Point (2 Routes: one to the Peak and the other to Girigadde RFO). Since we didn’t know the Route (Trekking KP for the first time), v decided to take the route that goes downwards. All of a sudden, the Fog to over and we couldn’t see anything. Our priority was to pitch the Tents right there and then search for Firewood (Always pile up firewood before it gets dark). The time then was around 17:30 Hrs (05:30 pm).Manu went searching for the Firewood while me and Kiran began Pitching the Tents. All that Manu can get was a few sticks. Manu prepared Maggie(Which only Manu ate) and the fire went off. The winds began to Blow and all the three got inside the Tents.

All that we could hope was the night to end soon as we knew it wasn’t the right place to camp. We tried calling the RFO officials (we took their numbers when we paid the entry fee) but the Signal was NIL. We used to get the Signal sometimes and it used to vanish the same way. Somewhere around 23:30 hrs(11:30 Pm) we could connect to the RFO numbers but they weren’t answered on the other end. So we left msg’s to both the RFO’s(Beedalli and Girigadde). Not knowing what to do v even tried calling Battaramane where Mr. Bhat answered our call but could speak for just a few seconds coz the signal went off. We tried explaining our location to Mr. Bhat with the best possible description (The location we camped was just above Kallumantapa).

After that we couldn’t get the signal and then the Winds began Blowing. It was so strong that we felt as though our tents were being taken off from the ground and all the three couldn’t sleep the whole night. Next morning we could see some light (around 06:30 hrs) and then we went to sleep. Kiran got up at 07:15 hrs and he could see 3 others getting down from the Peak. It was a great sign of Relief as we got to know that we were on the Right way(Till then we didn’t know where v were.) At around 07:30, all of us got up and we began to move downwards to Girigadde. We reached Girigadde RFO at 10:00 hrs where the Official was also in relief as we had sent him msg’s the last night. He then informed the RFO at Girigadde about our arrival. (Both the RFO’s keeps the other informed about the entry and exit of the Trekkers as to keep track about the Number of Trekkers who entered and came back safely).

The Official also informed us about a few Trekkers being lost in the Jungle and their safe return. One such Trekker had been in the Forest for 4 days before he could be traced. We then started moving towards Battaramane which is about 10 Min from the RFO(U can find a Tower near Battaramane). When we reached Battaramane we were informed that the Food would take another 30 min and we all rested there. The food cost us 80 per person and one has to serve Food for himself there. We had Rice and Sambar, along with Butter Milk and Pickle.

Done with Eating we began moving downwards to Kukke Subramanya (were informed at Battaramane that kukke was 07 Km from there). But I’m sure that everyone who trekked KP would say it was more than 07 km. Finally we reached Kukke at around 14:00 hrs bringing an END to our Trek.

Things we would like to Suggest other Trekkers if this is your first time:

Carry a Backpack as light as Possible. Every single gram reduced is a boon to you.
Carry plenty of water. The only water resources are near Santha mallikarjuna Temple, Kallumantapa, Battaramane and RFO’s.
Candies provide instant energy and also prevents your mouth from drying.
Do not panic if you’re lost. Losing hope means losing yourself.
Do not throw garbage everywhere. There are a lot of Bins present throughout the Route.
If this is your First time, take a Guide if you’re not in Groups.
Get a good Camping Tent. Sleeping bags may be deleted as it is just dead weight.
Make sure to put the Fire off after you’re done with it.
Do not harm the Natural Habitat.
Carry good amount of food if you’re trekking from Somvarpet Route coz after Somvarpet, your next food source is Battaramane.
Always carry Dry fruits as they are best source of energy than anything else.
Girigadde RFO Contact Person : Jairaj (9449475506)
Battaramane Contact Number: 9448647947
Best season to visit : October to February
Leeches are very common post monsoon. So remember to carry some salt.

It still haunts us that we couldn’t reach the Peak. But for sure we are coming back at you KP.

Its ur life! Live it r Leave it..
