The ‘x’ factor
EDIT
In politics, as in life, sometimes success follows those who don’t necessarily have the maximum qualifications, or are the best looking, or have the most money and privileges.
It’s what the French call ‘je ne sais quoi’…
What does Priyanka Gandhi have that Rahul Gandhi doesn’t. They have the same powerful surname, share the same lineage and the same genetic code. If anything, she is lacking in political experience as compared to her elder brother. No worthwhile personal achievements to speak of. Her husband has been an embarrassment to the first family of Indian politics. And yet she is being hailed as the ‘saviour’ of the party, the lifeline of their sinking fortunes, and a manna from heaven for the 2019 upcoming elections. So what makes the junior Ms. G so great and so appealing? Perhaps it’s what the French call ‘je ne sais quoi’ (literally –I don’t know what), a certain intangible quality, an ‘x’ factor that you can’t quite explain analytically, that makes one person more charismatic than another. There’s nothing else to explain the popular adulation PG inspires, to say nothing of the complete adoration of her own party people. Whether this ‘x’ factor translates into political victory, only May 2019 will tell. Meanwhile, watch this space. SMITI JAIN NARAYAN

engaluru is a traveller’s delight. It starts with the air conditioned Volvo buses and the pre-paid taxi counter at the airport. Not to mention, the pre-paid auto counters at the city’s railway stations. But the finest example is the ease with which you can navigate the central business district of MG Road and around with the Big 10 buses. You can hop on and hop off at any point after your shopping expedition. But the finest experience will be the first reach of the Namma Metro train running from Old Madras Road to MG Road. Happy travels.

Auto-rickshaws are Bangalore’s ubiquitous mode of transport, easy to hail down, with the metre box that declares the fare fairly. Ideal to use for short distances, or even long ones for that matter, or as a transit transport to get to the metro station. BUSES
Bangalore has a vast network of BMTC buses plying within the city. The best way is to check locally for routes and bus numbers to reach a particular destination. Be prepared for some wait time though. METRO
The Bangalore metro rail system offers good connectivity and speed, and is especially useful for cross-city commute to avoid road traffic. Regulars can opt for a metro pass that can be loaded with currency and swiped at stations. (See detailed metro route map inside).

Mainstreaming the marginalised KESHAV SURI FOUNDATION LEADS THE WAY TO INTEGRATE LEGAL POWER INTO SOCIAL EMBRACEMENT OF LGBTQ+ BY SMITI JAIN NARAYAN In a historic verdict by the Supreme Court on September 6, 2018, the archaic and homophobic Section 377 was repealed, decriminalising homosexuality.
24 | FEBRUARY FIRST HALF| 2019
While a law is empowering and definitely a step in the right direction in restoring dignity to the marginalised and much maligned LGBTQ+ community, social acceptance and embracement into mainstream society is still a hurdle to be overcome. In this day and age, it seems almost anachronistic that one’s sexual orientation should even be an issue. One sees in other countries the seamless integration of LGBTQ+ in regular jobs, being gainfully employed, leading meaningful, fulfilling lives with little or no discrimination. And then one wonders why an all-embracing, multi-faceted land like India is not able to provide the same social climate to our differently oriented citizens. Keshav Suri Foundation is leading the way in this issue, spearheaded by hotelier Keshav Suri and Executive Director of the Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, to mainstream the marginalised LGBTQ+ community and BANGALORE

integrate them into society. It’s an uphill task and many walls of narrow minds need to be broken to make them broader and more inclusive. Keshav Suri Foundation has become the official affiliate of ‘It Gets Better India’, a global platform to uplift, empower and connect the LGBTQ+ community through storytelling and community building. With over 60 million views online this campaign has been one of the most successful social campaigns in modern history. The It Gets Better campaign has seen personalities such as Barack Obama, Stephen Colbert and organisations such as Google, Apple and various others participate in spreading positive messages that encourage queer youth to live their truth, with pride and dignity. Says Keshav Suri, “We are glad that Section 377 has been read down. However, we have merely scratched the surface. Building off the success of the It Gets Better campaign, the Keshav Suri Foundation will illustrate how it can ‘Get Better’ in the Indian context. The Foundation aims to
provide employable skills to the community and sensitize organisations on more diverse and inclusive practices.” Keshav Suri Foundation is building a discrimination free platform, enabling community members to share their stories and stigmas – physical, emotional or mental. The motto of the foundation is to embrace, empower, and mainstream the community, by hearing their voices, skilling them and hence, empowering them to be able to live a life of dignity. Says Dr Jyotsna Suri, Chairperson and Managing Director, The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, “I am proud to initiate this unique platform where relevant people can engage in a meaningful dialogue about the extremely marginalised LGBTQ community. We need to break the stereotyped image of the community, accept them socially and mainstream them professionally and economically.” More power to KSF for being a beacon to making India a truly evolved and inclusive society.

ith Bengaluru, the sobriquets keep getting added up. From Air Conditioned City to Aviation Capital to Garden City, this small town turned technopolis has added a new word to the American lexicon: ‘Bangalored’. It means ‘to lose one’s job’ as a result of off shoring work to India. That’s not all. The city is emerging as a medical tourism hub in India by offering ‘First World Service at Third World Cost’. What’s more, the best and the brightest multinationals are spicing up the retail scene by test-marketing large format stores like Reebok, Levi’s, Adidas, Esprit and Nautica. It’s become a ‘yuppie heaven’. Now that’s yet another sobriquet for the city. With the Metro Rail opening in phases, things are getting better by the day. Visit the city and be bowled over. 26 |FEBRUARY FIRST HALF|2019

way to your table, you unabashedly lose yourself to the temptation of the moment on the plate before you and bite into it and let it fill your senses as it softly bursts into your mouth and releases all the delicate flavours.

Now it’s time for the main course and the largely black décor with a hint of red is alive with some pop house music to set the mood. Highly recommended mains include crisp river sole with oyster sauce and seasonal greens; mapo tofu with black bean and chili flakes; wok tossed crisp pak choy and lotus stem dumplings in Hunan sauce; hot and spicy Hunan prawns; Gong Bao chicken; broccoli and baby corn in hot and sour sauce with cashewnuts, and plenty more of the choicest. Complete the course with some aromatic mushroom and corn fried rice, or if you prefer chili garlic noodles. The point is, that at Mahjong Room, everything is on point – the service, the décor, the music, the tables, with all of it coming together in a symphony to make the food all the more delicious and the restaurant a complete and fulfilling experience. Top up your wonderful meal with desserts that are chef specials and a delight with evocative names and a surprising twist. Passion coconut lime shortcake, banana split toffee, and the real Orient Mahjong, hot chocolate cookie over fudge are signature and present a hard choice. Pair your meal with the perfect

our visit to Bengaluru isn’t complete if you haven’t sampled its cuisine. And your journey begins with Vidyarthi Bhavan. If their dosas and idlis aren’t filling enough, dropping by MTR will please the glutton in you. Feast on the fish curry-rice at Fishland in Gandhinagar or munch on the magai paanwala on St Mark’s Road. From mutton biriyani at the Akhada in Shivajinagar to paneer, chicken and egg rolls at Fanoos in Johnson Market, the city is a foodie’s paradise and a gourmet’s delight.

T
he city is famous for its bars and pubs. It’s called the Beer Capital of India. With good reason. But the best reason to pub hop? It’s cosmopolitan crowd and the niche pubs that serve a select clientele. There are lounge spaces for the ladies, retro lovers and jazz enthusiasts. Not to mention, resto-bars, sports bars, roof-top bars, hookah bars, dance bars and cigar lounges for the casual and adventurous. Not to mention, the city’s first wine boutique pub. Reason enough to rewind, reboot and restart. *Alcohol may not be served at some of these places, as per Supreme Court regulation. Please call the pub/restaurant to confirm. 66 | FEBRUARY FIRST HALF|2019

Mela Tiruvenkanathapuram Temple
A town teeming with temples TRAVEL DOWN SOUTH TO TIRUNELVELI WHERE TIME STANDS STILL IN ITS TEMPLES BY SMITI JAIN NARAYAN The intricately carved temples of Tirunelveli stand in testimony to a spiritual beauty that transcends time. Centuries old traditions are still followed there with a simplicity of faith, and rituals kept alive by the pujaris and the thronging faithfuls. The ground you walk on here is like walking on history. The pillars resonate with the hum of a bygone era. The temple sanctum offers a strange sense of peace and stillness. To discover and understand the simple richness of south Indian temples, a trip to Tirunelveli is a must. Tirunelveli is also known as Nellai and historically as Tinnevelly. It is the administrative headquarters of the Tirunelveli District and also happens to be the fifth-largest municipal corporation in Tamil Nadu after Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai and Trichy. Nellaiappar Temple is the most famous of all temples in Tirunelveli. It is considered one of the largest temples in Tamil Nadu. It is a twin temple dedicated to Parvati and Shiva. The temple is situated in the centre

of the city at a distance of two kilometres from the railway station in Tirunelveli Town. At the banks of Thamirabarani river, Sri Varadharaja Perumal Kovil is another popular temple in the city. It is ancient in origin and dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Between Nellai Appar Sannadhi and Ghandimathi Amman Sannadhi there is a small lane near Saraswathi Ambaal temple. If you go through that lane you will find an ancient Chekkadi Saastha temple dedicated to Lord Ayyappan.

Travel&Shop
The Mela Thiruvenkatanathapuram Temple’s sanctum has a Lord Srinivasa statue. The temple is located about 10 km south west of Tirunelveli, also beside the banks of Thamirabarani river. This temple is also called Thirunankovil. Sri Varadharaja Perumal Kovil is located in “Keezha Thiruvengadanaadhapuram”, which is just half a kilometer from the famous “Then Thirupathi Shri Venkataachalapathy temple”. Due to presence of red soil in the area where the temple is located, it derives its name of Sengani - Sen meaning Red and Kani meaning Land in Tamil. The name was later changed to Sangani. Sri Azhagiya Koothar Temple at Rajavallipuram near Tirunelveli is a famous Natarajar temple situated on the banks of Tamirabarani River. Locals also refer to it as Sepparai. Lord Natarajar and Sivagami Ambal are the main deities while Nellaiappar, Gandhimathi Ambal amongst others, are minor deities. Vaithya Lingam Temple, Rajagopalaswamy Temple, Vettuvan Koil, Keezha Thiruvenkatanathapuram Temple, Sri Kalakodi Dharma Sastha Temple
Karaikurichi are some other important temples in Tirunelveli, each with its own religious significance. Tirunelveli temples are fascinating not only for devotees, but also for art and architecture enthusiasts, with their rich tapestry of history and spirituality woven together.

engaluru is a metaphor of an India that has arrived on the global scene. And this begins with worldclass self-sustaining ‘mixed use’ townships. Not to mention, smart digital homes that let you control your household appliances, lights and even the garage door from the comfort of your office. All you need to do is press a button or swipe a card. That’s making the most of smart technology where Wi-Fi enabled houses can automatically take care of all your household needs like dusting, cooking, laundry, bathroom, security and entertainment. You can not only watch what’s happening at home through Wi-Fi enabled webcams but also control the temperature of your fridge and microwave. This is your very own Utopia. Make the most of it. 102 | FEBRUARY FIRST HALF|2019

f you’ve never been to these places around Bengaluru, you are definitely missing something. There’s Bannerghatta National Park for the butterfly park, tiger and lion safari, Shivanasamudram for its waterfalls during July and August, hill station Devarayanadurga, Hesaraghatta for its boating and windsurfing opportunities, Ramohalli for the fabled big banyan tree spread over 4 acres, Shivaganga hill for trekking and mountain climbing, Channapatna for its wooden toys, Mekedatu for its picturesque locale where river Cauvery offers an awe-inspiring sight and Kolar Gold Fields, the world’s deepest gold mine. If you want to visit any of these places, one call to a tour operator or even a car rental service should do the trick.
