It gives me a great pride in remembering that 15th Day of Jan 2017, when I met this great person in Lavasa.I was there on a official workshop where Abhilash sir was invited as chief guest. I was completely unaware of this personality before I heard him giving the speech and telling about circum navigation of the world ( earth ).   Commander Abhilash Tomy is an s an Indian naval officer and yachtsman. In 2013, he became the first Indian to complete a solo, un assisted, non-stop circumnavigation of the globe on INSV Mhadei. He also competed in the 2018 Golden Globe Race. What a phenomenal achievements when you are just 40s and still going for greater heights. I just don’t have enough words to express my feelings. He is not a ordinary soldier, he is champion sailor, decorated Naval officer and he is a ultimate survivor. To me Abhilash Tomy is no less than a miracle. That miracle would not have been possible with his unimaginable courage, perseverance and never say Die Spirit. You ...

Let both of them indulge in Italian Pasta or Pizza in Rome, world-class Japanese sushi, a quintessential American cheeseburger topped off with a Michelin star meal, Delhi’s butter chicken or   Kolkata’s macher jhol.They will invariably come back home and demand some hot Tuppa Anna Tavvi Uppinakai   / varan bhaat toop Loncha limbu (dal, rice, homemade ghee, pickle and lemon) or even curd rice with mango pickle. They will then pat their tummy, heave a sigh of relief, and say “Atta kuthe jevlya sarkha watala / Eega oota madidnga aat nodpa (Now that’s what I call a meal).” In North Karnataka (Bijapur, Belgaum,Dharwad districts) and Maharashtrian Karnataka households, the humble Tavvi Anna Tuppa   / varan bhaat toop   is as versatile and ubiquitous as Naomi Campbell on oxygen channel or Radhika Apte’s...
