In my language we wish it as ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರ ದಿನತ ಎಡ್ಡೆಪುಲು/സ്വതംത്ര ദിനത എഡ്ഡെപുലു (svataṅtra dinata eḍḍepulu)

ಸುಮ್ನೆ ಯೋಚನೆ ಮಾಡ್ತಿದ್ದೆ.....

ನನ್ನ ಹುಟ್ಟುಹಬ್ಬ ಯಾವಾಗ?

- ಪ್ರತಿವರ್ಷ ಸೆಪ್ಟೆಂಬರ್ 21 ಅಂತ ಹೇಳೋದಾ?

- ಪ್ರತಿವರ್ಷ ಸೆಪ್ಟೆಂಬರ್ ತಿಂಗಳ ಮೂರನೇ ಬುಧವಾರ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳೋದಾ?

- ಭಾದ್ರಪದ ಕೃಷ್ಣಪಕ್ಷದ ಬಿದಿಗೆ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳೋದಾ?

- ಭಾದ್ರಪದ ಹುಣ್ಣಿಮೆಯ ಮುಂದಿನ ಬುಧವಾರ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳೋದಾ?

- ಶರದ್ವಿಷುವತ್ತಿನ ಎರಡು ದಿನ ಮುಂಚೆ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳೋದಾ?

- ರಬ್ಬೀವುಲ್ ತಾನಿಯ ಹದಿನೈದನೇ ದಿನ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳೋದಾ?

- ರಬ್ಬೀವುಲ್ ತಾಮಿಯ ಮೂರನೇ ಬುಧವಾರ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳೋದಾ?

- ಕನ್ಯಾಮಾಸದ ಆರನೇ ದಿನ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳೋದಾ?

- ಕನ್ಯಾಮಾಸದ ಮೊದಲ ಬುಧವಾರ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳೋದಾ?

ಇದೆಲ್ಲಾ ದಿನಗಳು 2026ರಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇರೆ ಬೇರೆ ದಿನಗಳೇ ಬರ್ತವೆ. ಆದರೆ 1994ರಲ್ಲಿ (ನಾನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿದಾಗ ಇವೆಲ್ಲಾ ಒಂದೇಸಲ ಬಂದಿದ್ವು).

ಅವತ್ತು ನಾನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ ಬೇರೆ ಬೇರೆ ಸುಮಾರು 50+ ರೀತಿಯ definitions ಕೊಡಬಹುದು. ಐವತ್ತೂ definitions ಐವತ್ತು ಬೇರೆ ಬೇರೆ ತಾರೀಕುಗಳಂದು land ಆಗುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳೂ ಇವೆ.

So ಯಾರಾದ್ರೂ ನನ್ನನ್ನು "ನಿನ್ನ ಹುಟ್ಟುಹಬ್ಬ ಯಾವತ್ತು?" ಅಂತ ಕೇಳಿದ್ರೆ ಒಂದೋ "ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ" ಅನ್ಬೇಕು, ಅಥವಾ "ಯಾವ ಪದ್ಧತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ?" ಅಂತ ವಾಪಸ್ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಕೇಳ್ಬೇಕು......

ತುಂಬಾ ಓದ್ಕೊಂಡ ಬಹಳ ಜನ ಯಾಕೆ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಬೈರಾಗಿ ಆಗ್ತಾರೆ ಅಂತ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಅರ್ಥ ಆಗ್ತಿದೆ.......

Got an interesting historical fact.

After the decline of the Pala Empire which is also considered the Golden period of Bengal, the kingdoms arose in the regions of Bengal, Mithila and Magadh were of Kannada origin.

• Senas of Bengal (1070-1230) — Its founder Samanta Sena was a migrant from Karnataka (as Deopara Prashasti inscription composed by Umapati Dhara, a minister in the court of Lakshmana Sena mentions).

• Karnats of Mithila (1097-1324) — Its founder Nanyadeva was a commander in Chalukya army arrived in Mithila as part of Chalukya invasions of North (Inscriptions of the Senas describe him as "Karnata-Kulabhusana").The almost 230 years continuous Sovereign reign of Karnats is considered the Golden period of Mithila.

• Pithipatis of Magadh (1120-1290) — Its founder Vallabharāja Devaraksita was Chindaka Naga. Tho he migrated to Magadh from a place called Ratanpur in Chhattisgarh but but his clan i.e., Chindaka Naga were of Kannada origin, migrated to Bastar region of Chhattisgarh from Sindavadi, Karnataka.

All of these Dynasties while of Kannada origin, embraced the local culture & language and adapted it even in the Courts. They propagated the local culture and language.

Senas crowned themselves as 'Gauḍēśvara'.

Karnats crowned themselves as 'Mithileśwara'.

Pithipatis crowned themselves as 'Magadhādipati'.

I'm planning to take my mom to Tirumala and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it.

My mother is 63 year old. She has relatively low stamina and gets tired easily. But other than this shes healthy.

I was looking at the KSTDC one-day Tirupati package from Bangalore. It's around ₹2,500 per person. We will leave Bengaluru by 8pm and reach back to Bengaluru by next day 8pm.

The price and convenience are very good, but I'm a bit worried that the whole overnight + one-day schedule might be too exhausting for her.

For people who've travelled to Tirumala with parents around this age, whats the best option for me ?

Would love to hear what worked for you guys, especially if you've taken your parents to Tirumala.
