In cricket as in life, you win some, you lose some

All in the game

After India crashed out from the World Cup finals, our cricketers performance (or lack of it) is everyone’s favourite rant.

There are memes doing the rounds on KL Rahul’s time on the field being compared to 2-minute noodles.

King Kohli is being slandered as being distracted by the myriad advertisements he keeps appearing in, not to mention all the moolah he is raking in by the shovel-fulls for them. Captain Rohit Sharma is being slammed for not getting top performance from his team.

One would like to tell the cricket fans – it was just a game, you win some, you lose some. But in India cricket is not a game, it’s religion to its legion of passionate followers. They live and breathe the game. Cricketers are elevated to the status of gods and then when they fall it’s unacceptable, exposing their feet of clay.

Perhaps cricket should be seen as an allegory of life. There are no guarantees. You play the game, do your best, and leave the rest to Lady Luck.

Or the other popular word we have for everything: kismet.

GETTING AROUND TOWN

Tour operators, forex, visa assistance, helplines...

Bengaluru 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.

GETS ITS OWN LOGO

Bengaluru has become the first Indian city to have its own logo, joining the club of global metros like New York, Paris and Berlin. The logo was unveiled recently, with letters BE and U highlighted, reflecting the city’s ethos where everyone gets a chance to be oneself.

The new Bengaluru logo will establish Brand Bengaluru on the global tourism map.

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.

Timeless Heritage Silks

Pathi Silks has been weaving fabulous designs in silk sarees for over a century

By Jeelani MN

Situated on the prominent and busy Richmond Road, Pathi Silks is renownedfor its exquisite designs in silks since the last 120 years. In an age when businesses come and go, Pathi Silks stands as a shining example of sustained and successful family business for generations.

Pathi Silks was founded in 1902 by Shri. Pathi Adinaraniah, which was carried on by Shri. Pathi A. Radha Krishna, as of today the Managing Partners are Shri. Pathi R. Sampath Kumar and his son Shri. Pathi S. Nanjundeshwar, who is the fourth generation of the Pathi family. His great vision and principals are continuing to shine through every generation, maintaining high quality, innovation, personalised service and customer satisfaction as their core values.

@ Richmond Road

Their flagship showroom opened its doors to its Central Business District (CBD) customers in 2021. They are the veterans in the wholesale saree business, who have ventured into retail, showcasing the intricate, traditional saree collection that is every woman’s dream. Pathi Silks on Richmond Road is spread across a space of 3800 sq ft, with a team of twenty-five very efficient, well-versed staff that showcase not just the saree or fabric you wish to purchase, but also explain the intricacies of the fabric, its weave and design, highlighting their distinguished workmanship which encapsulate the fantasies of the customer.

They are pioneers in manufacturing silk sarees, well-recognised for supplying to the top stores all across India and abroad. They have created many sarees from their in-house designs and also revived old traditional designs which may have faded away from the regular market, as well as new-age sarees with latest concepts.

They have dedicated and exhibited their expertise and passion for what they have been relentlessly pursuing for over a century. 120 years of great skill and craftsmanship. is seen in each piece that is produced, making them the most respected and famed as fashionable in the industry, with the constant pursuit to make each saree beautifully perfect, and exciting for every generation. Their manufacturing unit is in Bommasandra in Bengaluru with a working staff of three hundred. They also have contract looms across India in the handloom sector in Kanchipuram, Banaras, Pochampallee, Sambalpur, and other places where they give them their designs, colour concepts and get exclusive products made, which are then wholesaled in the market.

Pathi Silks quite recently thought of venturing into the retail business, so that they could reach the customer and feel the pulse of the ongoing generation and

moods of what to cater to. Since they have a strong background in manufacturing, reaching out to the customers with exclusive and also customised designs was an opportunity to showcase their relentless love for silks. Pathi Silks has more plans to flourish and reach the top of the silk saree trade, evenly balancing out retail and wholesale business. But for now, they want to create a niche in the retail business. Their products are available at a very reasonable price, since they are manufacturers themselves. This factor acts as a trump card to their retail line, and makes them a major competitor in the Bengaluru retail silk saree market. Across India they were applauded for finally going retail as being the pioneers, and having a century of expertise in the silk business, the exclusivity of their designs has always been much in demand. Creating a connection with the market in retail has also breathed new life into their wholesale business.

The customisation and amalgamation of new designs is creating an exclusivity in variety for their customers, and improving their wholesale business at the same time, as Pathi Silks is creating new concepts in designs, which are mostly unavailable in the regular retail market.

Pathi Silks has come up with a new concept, Heritage Weaves – the recreation of 200 to 300 year old designs in Kanjeevaram Silk Sarees – in pure gold zari, and reviving the lost art of the old designs. They are amalgamating new designs on the heritage weaves, such as bandhni, hand painting, kalamkari, hand painted motifs, unusual prints and awe-inspiring borders. These are exclusive pieces that are extremely creative and challenging and take a long time to manufacture, with each piece taking three to four months to reach the store. The end result of course is that every piece is very niche, voguish and unique.

The Bangalore Trades Association celebrates 67th Kannada Rajyotsava Day with fanfare

By Smiti Jain Narayan

Founded in 1899, The Bangalore Trades Association was the first such organisation formed exclusively for traders. Situated at Manipal Centre, it is one of the oldest associations in India at 123 years in existence. Leading luminaries of the business community in Bangalore have come together to keep its banner flying high. Recently they celebrated the 67th Kannada Rajyotsava Day. MLA Nalapad Ahmed Haris (popularly known as NA Haris) extended his full co-operation and support to make the event a success.

NA Haris is an Indian businessman, politician of National Congress and a member of Karnataka Legislative Assembly from Shanthinagar Constituency. He graciously joined along with all association members to celebrate Kannada Rajyotsava with The Bangalore Trades Association.

On the occasion he gave a speech extolling the significance of 67th Kannada Rajyotsava and also promised BTA to stand with them for all future programmes.

Key activities undertaken by BTA during the course of the year:

• Vaccination program was conducted for the Employers / Employees and their families and friends of the establishments of MG Road, Brigade Road, Church Street etc. and also for the general public, with about 350 vaccinations that were administered free of cost by the BBMP health department.

• Retail Employees Day was celebrated on 12.12.2021. Employees who have put in 25 or more years of service were specially rewarded with a gift by BTA and Employee Of The Year, were presented with a Certificate of Appreciation.

• The Labour Department prescribed Minimum Wages Act and Dearness Allowance enhancement notice for the year 2022-23 was e-mailed to all member establishments for their reference.

• BTA is in the process of meeting BBMP

Engineer for the beautification of MG road by placing benches, flower pots, etc.

• BTA is also in the process of conducting free medical check-up camp for the employers, employees and their families.

• Illegal parking of autos in front of Malabar Gold and Raj Diamond showroom was addressed by giving a written complaint to the concerned authorities.

• A letter was successfully given to allow the autos to ply from Anil Kumble Circle towards MG Road, Brigade Road junction, on which hitherto autos were not allowed during the construction of Metro.

• The public are not allowed to use the boulevard next to MG Road Metro station after 7pm, again in the interest of the public BTA conveyed through a letter to the concerned authorities and are awaiting for a favourable response from them.

• A letter was written to BMRCL authorities to restart the pay & use toilet, which was closed during Covid, in the interest of the public. Since then it has been reopened.

• BTA is also in the process of arranging free vaccination (booster / precautionary doses) program for those who have not availed of it so far.

• Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav: Flag hoisting ceremony was conducted in MG Road, and sweets were distributed to participants.

The BTA committee consists of stalwarts of Bangalore’s trade industry.

Office Bearers:

President – Sri. Vijayashekar Ravi Deepam of Deepam Silks Pvt. Ltd.

Vice President – Sri. Naveen Pishe of PNRao Hon. Secretary – Sri. Sreesh R Babu of Prakruthi Ads

Hon. Treasurer – Sri. Deepak Welling of GG Wellings

Executive Committee Members: Sri. Suresh Desai of Twinkle

Sri. Omar Ahmed of Manyavar Sri. Inayath Shah of Central Cottage Industries Corporation Sri. Govardhan of Vijayalakshmi Silks

The more traders and businessmen who become members of this prestigious association, the more it will strengthen the voice of The Bangalore Trades Association. Members who join this association get access to vast opportunities to improve their respective businesses, as well as to air their grievances with the civic authorities in and around MG Road areas, as and when the need arises.

HIT THE HIGH NOTES Pubs, clubs, lounge bars...

The

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.
