Spirit of the land

Orange County Resorts & Hotels, under its brand name Evolve Back, specialises in providing exquisite holiday experiences in enchanting locales while at the same time taking great care to preserve the purity of nature and the culture of the land.

EVOLVE BACK

Hampi

Evolve Back’s latest offering in Hampi is radically different from their first two resorts and, paradoxically, extremely similar too! Their latest resort is located next to the famous 14th century UNESCO World Heritage Site - Hampi and finds its inspiration from the architecture of that era.

Travels into the past The resort offers four specially curated trails for you to explore the ruins of Hampi. These have been thoughtfully designed to engage you in various aspects of Hampi’s history, mythology, architecture, commerce and political life, all of which come alive in its striking monuments, magnificent temples and soul-stirring landscapes. These walks are led by experienced local guides who have been further mentored by leading experts.

EVOLVE BACK

Coorg Coorg and its Coffee and Spice scented hills were put on the tourist map by Evolve Back. Their first resort was opened in the tiny hamlet of Sidapur in 1994, in their family-owned coffee and spice estate.

Since then, the resort has grown and blossomed into arguably one of the finest in the world. Situated in a 300-acre working coffee and spice plantation, the resort features two local architectural themes that are clearly discernable. The first is inspired by the white-washed, mud-walled, thatched homes typically found within the coffee plantations, while the second is inspired by the Ainemanes or the ancestral homes of the Kodavas, who call Coorg their home.

EVOLVE BACK

Kabini After successfully putting Coorg on the tourist map, Evolve Back opened its second resort in Kabini in 2007. Situated at the cusp of the Nagarhole and Bandipur National Parks, Kabini is a wilderness area that has been home to a host of tribal people. In keeping with their ‘Spirit of the land’ philosophy, the resort is inspired by the Hadis or villages of the prominent tribe of the area – the Kadu Kurubas, with an extremely wooded and wild look. Nagarhole National Park has one of the highest densities of Tigers in India. It is also host to the largest congregations of Asiatic Elephants in the world. The resort offers their guests a choice of a boat or a vehicle safari into the National Park and Guided Nature Walks and Night Trails led by experienced naturalists with a penchant for storytelling.

Still life with Sports Illustrated piles in the bathroom, guest room, on the living room floor, on the dining room table, in recycle bins waiting near the door. Still life with the younger brother assessing how to dispose the hoardings of the one man left who shares his face.

Still life with hanging tension and sadness, failed ambition, medicated dreams. Still life with phlegm and corruption.

A painting from Tauseef Khan’s Reflections Series

By: RITA DOVE

Tauseef Khan In Tauseef’s canvasses, the architecture is tactile, hyper-real and vivid, but shaped in places through the glass of a wine goblet. Through the screen of the glassware, light distorts, patterns are amplified and new shapes created, evoking something new altogether. Tauseef’s fabulous painting reminds you of a truth we all tend to overlook: each and everything we see is our perception of its reality.

Beyond the obvious

There is much more to Hubballi than commerce. Apart from the archeologically significant sites, Hubballi is home to a rich heritage of art, culture and music.

Words: RASHMI GOPAL RAO

H

ubballi has always been known for its bustling trade and commercial activity. While the name literally translates in Kannada to ‘flower creeper’, the industrial town has always been a business hub and a centre of active commodity trade. The second largest city in the state, the transformation of Hubballi into an industrial town can be traced to the days of the Vijayanagara Empire, when cotton, iron ore and other metals were traded here in abundance.

Even today, the city is synonymous with textile, cotton, groundnut and chilli trade.

Several musical legends and stage artists including Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, Dr. Gangubai Hangal and Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur hail from here. It is a hub of education, with three universities that are based here.

Architectural gem in the City Located close to the Unkal Lake in the city, is the Chandramouleshwara Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. On reaching the temple, one is sure to be mesmerised by architectural brilliance of the monument. The temple is believed to have been built by the Chalukyas in the 11th and 12th century. The shrine of Lord Shiva is in the form of two

Lingas (main deities) with one of them being Chaturmukha or four-faced.

A unique feature of the temple is the presence of four doors in all four directions and the absence of a temple tower or Gopura. The temple is a rectangular structure with a flat top and according to legend, it was supposed to be built overnight, but as the sculptors could not finish it, they left it incomplete. In typical Chalukyan style, the faรงade and the exteriors of the temple, done in stone have some exquisite carvings and sculptures, reveal volumes of the superior craftsmanship of the sculptors.

The red and green hues of the stone only complement the beauty of the intricate columns and panels on the walls of the temple. It attracts huge crowds on Mondays as it is a day that is auspicious to Lord Shiva.

sight that is off the conventional tourist circuit, this temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is built in the Kalyana Chalukya architectural style. With distinct influences of the Hoysala and Kadamba style of architecture, the main deity of the temple is in the form of a Linga called Tarakesvara. The lathe pillars,

ornately carved ceilings and the trellises on the doorway are a reflection of grandeur and beauty. There are carvings related to the Ramayana as well as of other Gods and Goddesses on the outer walls.

Yet another not so touristy spot close to Hangal and on the way to Hubballi, is the

But the distinctive features of the temple include the Linga that is exceptionally tall and the multiple door panels that adorn the door of the sanctum sanctorum or Garbhagriha. The level of detailing and perfection in the carvings of these panels is truly awe-inspiring.

f there is one temple in the world that attracts the most number of devotees and visitors it has to be the Venkateswara Swamy Temple at Tirumala, Tirupati. Said to be the richest temple in the world, there is a sense of power and faith that permeates through the serpentine queues that give you a fleeting glimpse of the Lord.

Tirupati, however, is home to many other temples and sights as well which must be on your itinerary the next time you are in this pilgrim town.

Sri Padmavathi Ammavari Temple Also called the Alamelu Mangapuram Temple, this place is located 5 km away from Tirupati and is dedicated to Goddess Padmavathi, the wife of Sri Venkateswara Swamy. It is widely believed that you must visit this temple before you head to the temple atop Tirumala. This place is also extremely crowded and it is advisable that you get a special darshan ticket which will also include a small pooja and allow you some time near the sanctorum. The idol of the Goddess is magnificent, in the form of a bride. There are special poojas held during the days of the Navarathri Festival. Another important festival associated with this temple is the boat festival locally called Theppotsavam, which happens for five days during the month of Jyeshtha in June.

VENKATESWARA MUSEUM ALSO HAS A HUGE COLLECTION OF STONE, WOOD AND METAL IMAGES, AS WELL AS POTTERY, COINS, INSCRIPTIONS AND ARTICLES USED FOR PUJAS Sri Govinda Raja Swamy Temple The outer pinnacle called Gaali Gopuram of this temple complex is tall and its ornate structure is visible from a fairly long distance.

of Andal Ammavaru, Sri Krishna, Sri Ramanuja Thirumangai Alwar, Sri Vedanta Desika, Sri Lakshmi and Sri Manevala Mahamunlu. You will need to deposit all electronic items including cameras and mobiles at the locker before entering the temple.

The variety of shapes and sizes of bird beaks reflect a marvellous evolution of nature even as they assist birds in carrying out different functions.

O

ne of nature’s most endearing sights is of a bird flying with food in its beak for its chicks, and then carefully and gently placing that food in the opened mouths of the waiting brood. Never mind the size or shape of the beak, the parent bird carries out its task with utmost care that keeps the chicks well fed, growing and thus the species thriving. And in a marvel of nature, over millennia, bird beaks have evolved in different shapes and sizes from the tiny bill of a flowerpecker to the large beak with casque of the Great Hornbill, apart from colour and texture, to help birds source the food they eat, feed their young ones, and divide nature’s

Like the Human Hand While we initially think of a bird’s beak as its mouth, it actually is akin to a hand for the functions it carries out! For a beak, comprising an upper and lower mandible connected by bones and soft tissues, helps a bird source its food, carry it, eat it as well as feed its companion (the most endearing example being of hornbills) and its young ones.

Further, beaks also help birds in carrying out a variety of tasks from preening their feathers to releasing excess body heat in the summer (called panting), courtship rituals, building nests, defending themselves or fighting those who attack them with their bills.

Birds preen their feathers to keep them in good condition for health reasons and ease of flying.

They do this by using their beaks to smoothen and align the feathers, as well as remove dust and any mites. Some birds have a preen gland at the base of the tail that produces an oily substance, and they use it to preen the feathers thus making them healthy, flexible and strong. While preening makes a bird healthy and attractive, interestingly it also forms part of courtship for some bird.

Beaks also help birds build their homes which range from the woodpecker incessantly banging its chisel-like beak into a tree trunk

Bills for Food Type Some birds consume a variety of food, while most birds have very specific food preferences and their beaks have evolved to help them source and consume the particular food(s). So though some birds may look different, their beaks are of a similar shape as they eat the same food, and some birds appear similar to look at yet their beaks are of a different shape as they eat different food.

A generalist like a crow will eat a variety of food from fruit to cooked rice and small birds/animals and its large stout beak helps it in doing just that. However, other birds are very specific about their food choices and their beaks are

shaped just for that.

Thus, there are seed-eating birds like munias and sparrows with tough triangular-shaped beaks which give them power to break the outer casing of seeds; nectar-drinking birds like sunbirds who hover over flowers and draw the sweet liquid from deep inside a flower courtesy their long curved beaks that helps them probe flowers; fruit eating birds with small beaks like bulbuls; and fruit eating birds with larger longer beaks like parakeets.

Insects, widely available, are eaten by a variety of birds including some that eat other foods. Insect eating birds have slightly longer, thinner beaks that

Did You Know?

The bill tip organ has a high density of nerve endings. It is believed that this organ helps the bird detect movements of creatures in the mud or water and can thus help in catching the prey without seeing or touching it!

And raptors that are meat eating birds like vultures, eagles, kites and owls use their feet to catch/kill their prey and then their hooked, sharp and strong beaks to tear the meat.

Birds that live near or in the water have another amazing variety of beaks. From the geese that feed on grass at the edge of the water and have broad, flat bills for straining water to get aquatic plants to kingfishers that have a pointed beak that helps them catch a fish and darters that have a long pointed beak to dart a fish.

Pelicans stand out for their large beaks with a pouch below that helps them scoop up, hold and sieve a huge amount of water to obtain fish; its unusually sized beak has led to the observation “A marvellous bird is the pelican; its beak holds more than its belly can!”

Sharing Nature’s Resources In this way, the different shapes of beaks ensure that the food available in nature is divided between different bird species.

Further, nature also ensures that birds that feed on a particular food (such as seeds, fruits, insects or animals) get adequate food (thus dividing a particular food type between themselves) as

Similarly different nectar drinking bird species visit different flower types and have beaks of different shapes and sizes—some long and thin like the purple-rumped sunbird, and some long and with a pronounced curve like Loten’s sunbird as well as spiderhunters.

Flowerpeckers also drink nectar, apart from berries, spiders and insects, and their beaks are shorter.

And though there are many species of meat eating birds,

their beak sizes vary, so those with a relatively small beak (like shikra, harriers and buzzards) eat smaller creatures, while those with a larger beak like large eagles (Golden Eagle, Steppe Eagle and Eastern Imperial Eagle) will typically eat larger creatures. And as one observes the shape of beaks, it offers an insight into the type of food birds eat and possibly also the habitat they lives in, leaving one marvelling at the wondrous ways of nature!

Millets

From replacing rice and wheat to becoming stars of evolved dining, millets are slowly ruling the new dining space courtesy some of India’s finest culinary minds.

Words: MADHULIKA DASH

A

few years ago, when Chef Glyston Gracias (City Chef, Social) began experimenting with millets, the idea wasn’t just to be a part of the millet fad that had swept the city but for a deeper know-how of the ancient produce. Millets are among the few food groups that not only find mention in the Rig Veda but have also been consumed in all their varietals since the Indus Valley Civilisation. Millet was such an integral part of the Indian culinary ecosystem that the famous voyager Columbus took samplings and seeds

44 Nov-Dec 2018

back to the West and introduced it there as power food.

Chef Gracias recalls the seasoned culinary hand, “The good thing about millet is that it is still in use from kuttu ka paratha to ragi halwa, breads to puttu and pilafs. In fact, what is even more interesting is that not only are they an integral part of the culinary system across India, there is a variety for each season and region.”

legends like Chef Manish Mehrotra (Corporate Chef, Indian Accent), who used it to present his version of the iconic Laal Maas to London and Chef Nimish Bhatia (owner, Nimisserie) who created the mixed millet khichdi as an ode to his years in Bengaluru, Chef Gracias began reworking the millet into his European menu. “It was an eye-opener how millets naturally up the quotient of the dish, especially that of a risotto. It adds this natural velvetiness that makes it a far interesting dish, virtually negating the need for extra flavourant, “ recalls the clean eating advocate, who uses millets also in making pasta for most of the dishes.

Adds Chef Mir Zafar Ali (Executive Chef, The Leela Palace, Bengaluru), “The taste and the fact that it is extremely filling comes as an added bonus.” Chef Ali, who uses kodo millet across different restaurant menus in the hotel, first discovered millet during a family trip to Nagore. “I was introduced not only to Kodo millet (which is an all-season millet in the south) but to another super-ingredient called Mudakattan Keerai, a Balloon Vine Leaf that adds a different dimension to food, especially millet.” While dining there, at a small restaurant that transformed these

two ingredients into a feast, Chef Ali decided to explore kodo millet, not only as an alternative ingredient but also an interesting dish. Today, adds the innovative mind, “it is offered as a new dish that weaves together ancient wisdom with new techniques.” One of the most amazing ways to have millets, says Chef Anand Panwar (Executive Pastry Chef, Roseate Hotel & Resort), “is in salad. In fact, it goes great with fresh, parboiled seasonal vegetables especially greens with a honey, tamarind dressing.”

Chef Vikas Seth’s (Culinary Director, Sanchez) tryst with millet much like Culinary Custodian Chef Sabyasachi Gorai (Owner, Fabrica By Saby) began as a search for healthier alternatives for guests looking for conditionconducive ingredients. For diabetes and allergies, says the multi-cuisine expert, “it was more of a replacement for a certain rice, wheat and allpurpose flour in a dish.”

Millets re-invented Often, adds Chef Gorai, “It was either a pilaf or a khichdi that was made from these grains to suit the purpose.” But that changed in the past three years. “Chefs have discovered the beauty of

going regional and seasonal by picking millet varieties that are more conducive to work around with,” says Chef Seth. A fine example is the tacos that the chefs prepare using ragi, amaranth and barnyard millet. Fascinatingly, it isn’t just the base that is changed but also the filling. Chef Seth, for instance, serves his tacos with a dressing made of yam and sour cream; while Chef Gorai’s version is stuffed with millet falafels and hummus.

Another interesting way of having millets is with traditional curries, says Chef Akshraj Jodha (Executive Chef, ITC Windsor, Bengaluru), who uses millets to introduce a rustic taste when he recreates some of the old Rajasthani recipes like Hara Maas or even Khad Gosht. “Millets hold moisture much better and make for an interesting pair with thick curried meat dishes. ” Chef Kinny (Culinary Director, St Regis, Mumbai), another advocate

of clean eating has used millets to un-junk quite a few dishes so that people can have healthier burgers.

Says Chef Kinny, “Air popped millets are great for texture, they also make a lighter indulgence yet satiating.”

Here to Stay Thankfully what has helped most chefs create so many versions of the superfood is the understanding of how each millet works in different region. Chef Gorai adds, “chefs are now using it to create dishes rather than just using it as a healthier alternative to popular ingredients like wheat and rice.” An excellent example of this is Chef Gorai’s signature yellow pumpkinmillet porridge, which is a great option for those with diabetes and dairy allergy. Clearly millets are no more the fad, but the future of culinary sustainability that must be constantly revived and reinvented.

There is something very festive about the trend and thus it will not be a surprise if we find fringes on dresses, trousers, saddlebags and anything you can think of in the fashion world.

Mesopotamian Fringes The trend of fringes originated in 3000 BC and is believed to have been worn widely in many

civilisations. Although there is no physical evidence of these fringes but the people of this period left behind sculptures, statues and written accounts that tell what the ancient fringes looked like.

Fringes came in a variety of styles from hanging straight, knotted or tied to making unique designs and have adorned many garments like skirts and shawls in all sorts of fabrics from cotton to linen. Mesopotamian fashion was majorly about fringes in different shades and layered in tiers to embellish the entire garment.

Mesopotamia was so important that it was used as a kind of signature for important contracts. The people of this civilisation would press their fringes into a clay contract instead of signing or using a seal.

Trip to Native America Native Americans are considered to be among the very first to incorporate fringe into their clothing. Earlier, this embellishment was created separately from rest of the garment and the textile was cut either into strips or twisted into cords. Leather was the material of choice for these fringes.

Tribals living in America loved this trend. For them, it served a variety of purposes. Not just a decorative piece, the fringe was of practical use as well.

down the tassels and away from the body.

It was also a form of sustainability for Native Americans. When the garments were stitched, the seams were not trimmed as it was considered wasteful. This practice was common for leather garments as it took a long time to prepare them. The untrimmed seams were stitched with fringes to create a trendy attire. In fact, the excess material was not discarded but was tuned into an embellishment for the outfit. There was also a trend to decorate the fringes with beads.

FUN FACTS

One can wear fringes in a very subtle way too. Opt for tops in which ends of the sleeves and waistline are fringed.

Denim minis with fringe are in fashion. Tuck in a graphic tee and let the tiny fringes on the waist amp up the style. ChloĂŠ has launched a beautiful jean skirt this season.

The dress was completely covered in fringe and created a special effect while dancing. The fringes would literally move and shake with the wearer. Many iconic celebrities of the era including Joan Crawford, Olive Borden, and Claudette Colbert incorporated this look into their wardrobe.

After being out of fashion for a few years, fringes returned in the 1950s. It was very different from what the people have worn earlier. The embellishment was seen on leather biker jackets and gloves. During the makeover, Elvis Presley’s fringe jackets became a signature look. On the silver screen, Rita Hayworth wore a gown covered entirely in sequins and fringe in 1952.

Fringed-detailing of 1960s and 70s was inspired by the original Native American fringe and styles from Africa. American singer and actress, Cher incorporated fringe into both casual and evening wear. Her

fringed gowns from the music videos and live performances were iconic. In 1967, Yves Saint Laurent created two fringe-filled collections which included fringe jackets and dresses in suede.

This collection became part of celebrity wardrobe.

Modern Day Fringes Fringes is a fashion trend that returns to the fashion world season after season. It has been seen on the runways of Derek Lam, Edun, Hugo Boss, Diane Von Furstenberg, Anna Sui, and Prabal Gurung and is a major high street fashion trend. From ‘Rock n Roll’ style to sharp fringe detailing, designers are giving plenty of choices to add drama to the outfit. During the recent fashion weeks, fringes were showcased on the runways and one could see from sweaters and evening gowns to pumps and purses embellished with fringes.

Aishwarya liked multi-tasking and managed to do all this even while she was in school. “But the desire to earn more, say, something like `25,000 per month, kept haunting me.

other artistes were given up to `20,000. Later, I realised that only film actresses, who turned into serial artistes, were paid huge sums. That’s when I seriously started thinking about becoming a film actress. I felt that I should become a film actress first, and then come back to serials and earn good remuneration from it,” she adds.

Her Diligence Aishwarya recalls how she auditioned for almost every production house before her debut. She adds, “The funniest part was that after every audition, the production house people would tell me, ‘You are the heroine’. Overwhelmed by their words, I would come home and tell my mom that, I’m going to be the heroine of some four or five films. But during the film’s puja, someone else would be announced as the heroine.”

While she was struggling to be a part of the industry, she passed in one of the auditions and got her debut film, Avargalum Ivargalum.

She even managed to get a small role in Attakathi and these were the films after which her career began taking shape. In 2014, she was seen in Rummy, and Pannaiyarum Padminiyum where her acting skills were highly appreciated.

The Struggle Continues Aishwarya Rajesh also acted in critically acclaimed projects, Manikandan’s 2015 film Kaaka Muttai. Though the film shattered box-office records, she did not get offers for more than a year. She muses, “That one year, without any job, was the toughest time of all my trials so far. I decided to be patient and strong. Once again, I started waiting for good roles to come my way. Then, my period of waiting was over, and I again started getting challenging character roles.”

Tide Turned Towards Her In 2016, she had eight film releases. Out of these, Manithan, Dharmadurai, and Kuttrame Thandanai did extremely well at the box office. From here, she

started trying different genres and won many hearts. In 2017, she stepped into Mollywood and Bollywood as well. Her career took a new turn when she was chosen as the pair for Nivin Pauly in Sakhhavu. She was also paired opposite Dulquer Salmaan for Jomonte Suvisheshangal. Her Bollywood flick, Daddy marked her debut in Hindi Cinema. “In Daddy, my character arc spreads over almost 40 years. I’ve used prosthetic make-up with the guidance of an Italian make-up artiste. I feel very confident and empowered before the camera, after working with Arjun Rampal,” she adds. The achievement is something she is really proud off.

The critics also appreciated her performance.

The year 2018 has been a busy one for Aishwarya. Two of her big films due for release are Mani Ratnam’s Chekka Chivantha Vaanam and Vetrimaaran’s Vada Chennai. She will also be seen in Raja Kamraj’s sports drama Kanaa. She shares, “Kanaa is a rare opportunity; it’s about women’s cricket and they’ve trusted me with this film. I trained for nearly four hours every day with three coaches. And yes, I can now play a decent game of cricket.”

She won praises not only for her acting skills, she even voiced her concern on matters like industry salary disparity and other pressing issues.
