Saturday the 25th September evening will be remembered by the people of Chintamani for a very long time. The 2800th week of "Saahithya Koota"(ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಕೂಟ-click here) attracted hundreds of people.
Dr. Na. Someshwara(Sampada.net) held the pulse ( a doctor that he is) of the audience for nearly 3 hours with his inimitable quizzing style. For once the people loved questions and more questions. There were plenty of books up for grab as prizes. Dr. Na. Someshwara was honored by
Dr M.C.Sudhakar,MLA, on this occasion. (From the records: On the 1000th week of "Saahitya Koota", Shri Gopala Krishna Adiga, a great Kannada litterateur, was honored by the then MLA Shri. M.C Anjaneya Reddy) . It was a delight to hear the compositions of Shri YSG from Vanishri's pleasing vocal chords. All in all the evening was entertaining and educative. Chintamaniacs loved it.

Thanks for your valuable suggestion. Wait for the postings with videos.
I am new to this blog. I grately appreciate the efforts of the blog author for his love towards Chintamani.
I have few suggestions to make regarding Chintamani town development.
1)This town desperately needs a ring road to divert the bus/truck traffic in entering the city
2)Quality of the new roads are pathetic. These news roads hardly lasts for one full year.
3)People of Chintamani deserves good Engineering and Medical college facilities.
4)They need to develop a Industrial township for Manufacturing and IT companies, taking advantage of the close proximity of Chintamani to Bangalore International Airport. They can also improvise the existing industrial estate on bangalore road.
5)Huge water storage damns/tanks should be built at the four corners of Chintamani town, to store rain water, similar to the one at Kailasagiri road.
6)We should develop tourism spots with modern facilities for the travellers, for example, Kaivara (temple tourism), Ambajidurga Hills (Trekking/Adventure Sports), Murugamalla Darga (Religious Tourism), Grape farms/Rose flower farms (Eco-tourism).
Having said all the above, Chintamani is a very scenic beautiful hill town. But the Chintamani town planners lack a long-term vision for this beautiful town.
If someone from this blog has contacts with Chintamani politicians, please raise these issues with them.
Chintamani is close to bangalore, but Chintamani doesn't even have a modern super-speciality hospital. Look at the neighbouring town, Madanapalle in AP. Madanaplle got good engineering colleges, medical hospitals etc. You might be wondering why this town has been a sleepy town for so long, because there is no master plan for chintamani to develop this town into commerical business center.
Chintamani is a major junction for all the major towns in around Bangalore and neighbouring Andhra. Atleast they started now to renovate the KSRTC bus station in Chintamani. They should run more KSRTC services from Chintamani. For example Chintamani to Bangalore route is dominated by private bus operators, this private bus service takes more time and overdose you with those crappy movies and loud music. Why can't they have non-stop KSRTC services from Chintamani to Bangalore/Hoskote, let them start one, and they will find out the demand. KSRTC should also provide more bus services from Chintamani to Tirupati, lot of people from in and around Chintamani go to madanapalle to visit tirupati.
Some of the above issues are very minor, and they can be rectified with minimum effor by our politicians. But our politicians doesn't have a vision to develop new roads, build new colleges, create new industrial townships, and store rain water.
I am always surprised to see that a beautiful town like Chintamani so close to bangalore/devanahalli without proper health/water/road/employment infrastructure.
People of Chintamani cannot survive forever depending on agricultural economy and they need to create new economies for the fture generations.
This is my analysis about Chintamani, please take my suggestions in a positive constructive way.
