Q1 Are Cholakings of Tamil origin or Telugu? A1 Murukan Chevvel Amateur TamilHistorianJul 20 In the book titled “Cōḻar Varalāṟu”(Cholas History) written in Tamil by local Historian M. Rājamāṇikkam,he lists some of the names of cōḻa kings (from two different cōḻaclans: Paḻaiyāṟai & Aracunāṭṭucōḻas)who served under Kaḷabras, Pallavas, and later tothe Pāṇṭiyasas local rulers of Uṟaiyūr & Paḻaiyūr. Actually, due to the Kaḷabra and Pallavas arrival, themain line of Sangam cōḻas got scattered into manylittle branches: Telugu cōḻas/cōḍas (which itselfcontains many separate branches), Pālnāṭu and Toṇṭaināṭucōḻas(most possible ancestral line of later Imperial cōḻas, who servedthe Pallavas) and cōḻas of Kaveri Valley (Uṟaiyūr& Paḻaiyūr cōḻas). The velanjcheri copper plates grants of Parāntaka cōḻa-1mentions that Vijayālaya cōḻa (the one who re-establishedcōḻadynasty in its ancestral land, Ka'veri river valley) might well belong to thecōḻaslineage from Toṇṭai nāṭu (parts of southern Andhra and North Tamil Nadu), whothemselves trace their ancestry to the caṅkam era Tamil cōḻaKing Karikālaṉ.[1] The earliest cōḻa line to appear in Andhra arethe Renati cōḻas (c.500 CE). It is said that the descendants ofthe earliest Renati cōḻa king (Nantivarmaṉ)ruled over different regions simultaneously, which gradually lead to the disintegration and spread of cōḻa families further into Andhra[2] and even into Karnataka.[3]Even we have a South-east Asian offshoot of the Imperial cōḻaline.[4] Unlike the Pallavas, who seems to be clearly foreignersto the Tamil soil, the imperial cōḻa line is without any doubt traces their ancestry along withother Deccan cōḻas to kāvirikku karaikaṇṭaKarikāl Cōḻatēvar, which is clearly mentioned by all of themin their respective inscriptions. Only the line of Kulōttuṅkaṉ-1is considered as the direct Cāḷukkiya-Cōḻa/TeluguCōḻaline. Because, he was basically son of Cāḷukyulu ŚrīRājarāja narēndruḍu.[5] Textual References: The Cholas -by- K.A.Nilakanta Sastri, Madras University historical series, no. 9. December 2002.

And it was one Mr. Prabhakar who pioneered Darshinis in the City as farback as 1983. Inspired by the fast food chains abroad, he set the firstdarshini called ‘Cafe Darshini’ in Jayanagar and the rest as they say ishistory. picture shows varieties of masala dosas under preparation. Darshinis andBangalore The word “Darshini” would ring any true Bangalorean’s mind withBisi-bisi [piping hot] idly vada sambhar, dosai, uthappam, mini meals, upma,kesari bhath, “parcel” and the like. This darshiniculture in Bangalore mushroomed during the early 90s when the fast food cultureof the west had picked up among Indians. Bangaloreans of course tookit their own way and made it totally vegetarian south Indian fare. “GaneshDarshan ” in Jayanagar, is touted to be the first darshini in Bengaluru. AndUpahara Darshini, spread propagating this culture. The ambience of a darshini,is well anything but of a restaurant’s or maybe even the usual fast foodjoints, “dhabas” or “mami’s mess”. You have the counter, where you order andpay immediately for what you want, collect your coupons, hand over them to thepeople at the kitchen, who will promptly stick it on an iron projection, andplace your food on a granite table, after which it’s left upto you to find atable, to stand and eat at, and sink yourself, or rush yourself to a quickmeal. Self service they call it. Now to answer the question of cleanliness, forthose Indian phirangs, who insist on “wax coated tables, “cleaned 4 times”dishes, kitchen with multi exhaust systems and in accordance with theinternational standard of superior hygiene, well darshinis may not be the placefor you. The place will resemble any middle class home [minus the grease attimes and only at certain places.] and if you still are worried about hygiene,well the government has set some basic rules of hygiene to be maintained, andthe darshini people are kind hearted enough to understand and follow them. Wellyou’re a sticky Bangalorean, or not one at all, if you’re fussy about eatinghere. Price, totally reasonable. 10 bucks for a filling meal? 14 bucks for a“smattered with ghee” masala dosai? Though there are places that serve northIndian stuff as well, darshinisare always best at serving authentic udipi fare. Though theirsweet/jaggery sambhars and artificially fermented idli mix may get to you attimes. Oh and their filter coffees are supposed to be of the best, my coffeedrinking friends have sworn that they reach the taste of the kaapi-s made athome, diluted albeit. Well my pick at any darshini would be the varieties of“Dosais’ and “Curd Vadais’. Must try’s. The crowd at a Darshini ranges from asix-year-old learning to eat by sitting on the table and pricking at idlys totwo seventy five year olds discussing politics over coffee and an eveningtiffin, to hurrying office-goers and students grabbing a quick meal. The “Parcel”system, which works like a takeaway, comes in handy for many housewives or“emergency” situations at home. You have everything neatly packed into plasticcovers [eco friendly people can bring their own dabbas] and given to you. Wheredo we find them? Splattered across the city darshinis can usually be found inareas that have a predominant middle class populace, or a crowd that’dappreciate such quick so http://bangalore.metblogs.com/2006/07/06/darshinis-and-bangalore/ Compared to itDominos have about 132 outlets. Even if you add others I doubt if the numberswould exceed 750. What you are referring to may apply to some pseudo rich. But I doubt ifsuch a crowd would not relish their masala dosas and idlis. However, thereis a place for pizzas and burgers in the scheme of culinary things. But themreplacing masala dosas and idlis, no chance. Wanna bet? Q8 Howdifferent is a wolf from a dog in terms of build? A8 Mr. Potato Ultrarunner & Powerbuilder Thu The average weight of a Husky is 35-40lbs…No more than 60lbs if notobese.

Profile photo for Jharna Rajput Q10 Why doesthe Hanuman Chalisa give so much courage? A10 Jharna Rajput Krishna'sister Oct 18 When I was barely 9, I would get immense energy afterlistening to hanuman chalisa. The thing is that I didn't knew much abouthim, and still the confidence which came after reciting hanuman chalisa isinfinite. Once my Grandmother told me that in a satsang she heard that if we callGanesh ji he will come on his mouse ( mushak ), Lord Shiva on Nandi and thislist continues but lord hanuman will come on himself and will befaster than ever . Hanuman ji didn't gave me “ courage” only but gave me a ray of hopewhen my family was in covid, that he'll heal them. He gave me a sense of relief , since I would get scarydreams and couldn't continue to study alone. I don't even know how to thank him. Allthe above QA are based on Quora digest to me on 25-10-2021.
