ಬದುಕು ಜಟಕಾಬಂಡಿ, ವಿಧಿಯದರ ಸಾಹೇಬ |
ಕುದುರೆ ನೀನ್, ಅವನು ಪೇಳ್ದಂತೆ ಪಯಣಿಗರು ||
ಮದುವೆಗೋ ಮಸಣಕೋ ಹೋಗೆಂದ ಕಡೆಗೋಡು ||
ಪದಕುಸಿಯೆ ನೆಲವಿಹುದು -- ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ||

Kannada language is my mother tongue, and I'm quite passionate about reading, writing and speaking Kannada. But you'll more often find me babbling with some English words mixed in my talk even when I'm talking in Kannada :)

This page was created when I had the first ever web page of mine with some html pages on it. Things have changed quite a lot in between and there's lot to look beyond this page about Kannada on the Internet.

I'm rather proud to reveal that I've been associated with many of such projects that built Kannada on the Internet. Some of those for you to enjoy:
