The civic workers toil every day to ensure that the streets of the city are kept clean. They have also held protests demanding the money they are due. But their pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

The Rs.30 crore project is now estimated to go over Rs.300 crores and one more plan suggested it cross Rs.1000 crores. Now the new road to be known as Belagavi Bypass
The price seen was Rs.2767 so this is not under the RCS scheme.

Screenplay: bhai fevicol lagaya kya? How can you make it so watertight? The screenplay is so engaging and gripping that you end up abusing anyone who calls you in between the movie. Some fevicol on your seats too and you refuse to get out in the interval.
Sankranti is when the fields are harvested and ready for the Rabi crop. There is plentiful stock which needs to go to the warehouse, the farmer is in awe at his crops and is happy, his joy knows no bounds, his efforts are going to finally pay, it’s time his heart sings and he can’t but dance to the Suggi tune, for he knows happy days are to come. What best to share this joy but to come together with everyone in the neighborhood, sit together, sing, dance, eat and share, and this is all that Sankrantri is about.
The sajji roti is a harder version of the routine one and is yumm with the brinjal. Women carry rotis and visit friends exchanging food, people visit each other’s home to savor their delights and nobody should remain hungry that day. This is the true India we belong to, food and love are to be shared, they don’t taste good if kept to yourself. Modern times have taken away this practice of sharing, we have started living with ourselves, not needing to socialize except on social media, sajji rotis are available in the market, but they never have the taste of our adorable aunties.
The hero of the day, however, is the Tilgul, til for sesame and gul for jaggery, til gul are prepared a week in advance. Let’s look at the two main ingredients of tilgul, and you have to trust the wisdom of your elders in selecting these two. Til or sesame is an indigenous product of India. It’s a crop that is drought resistant and can be available easily. Sesame has been shown to reduce blood pressure in some studies. Sesame also has oil and is good in this season.
The other ingredient is jaggery the only sweetener available before sugars made their entry. Belagavi and neighboring Kolhapur are famous for jaggery, in fact so sweet was the jaggery that if you would meet a sweet person you would describe him to be as sweet as Kolhapuri jaggery ( Kolhapuri gula sarkha ), jaggery is high in iron and highly nutritious. But for the festival let’s forget the nutrition, here its only about the taste buds.
There is no one recipe for the jaggery tilgul, every household has theirs and that’s what makes them unique. Some add more of jaggery, some like it with poppy seeds, some like to add a nutty flavour and some like to add ghee. But how it is made and where it is made makes no difference, what matters is that it trades hands. Traditionally tilgul was made at home, later bought from Ganpat galli and Nargundkar chowk, today we find traders selling it almost in every street.
The kids enjoy tilgul the most. For kids the tilgul story starts with the tilgul box. The most attractive box to store the tilgul wins at school. All types of boxes are available, heart-shaped, leaf-shaped, pyramidal, triangular and so on. Every year the tilgul remain the same but the box had to change. Once the box was settled, you go after the tilgul, you have to have the right mix of white and colors, although they all tasted the same, eating green, orange, purple and yellow was special, often tilgul change hands just to have more colours Childhood is so beautiful, the sugar content does not make a difference, the colours of sweets do as grown-ups all we do is count calories and not memories. Shouldn’t life be like this, think of all the colours and forget the burden of calories of pain and sadness.
If you would get lucky you got the groundnut one, but you know what, the bigger ones are difficult to fit in the beautiful boxes. Once you have the right box and the right colors in the box you are set for Sankranthi. You just have to go from home to home and exchange tilgul and say “tilgul ghya goood goood bola”, we convent educated wanted English and said “take sweet, talk sweet and be sweet”.
So what’s a haldi kumkum, it’s a kitty party where gifts are given, tilgul exchanged and gossip done. The preparation is not simple, the house is given a holy wash, the husband has to clean everything from the windows to the ceiling fans, he is like an apprentice to the maid. The home is decorated such that nobody gets a chance to gossip about it. The women then enter each others homes dressed in the best of jewellery and sarees and armed with tilguls, they speak sweetly with everyone on that one day and chat their heart away, it’s more like a naughty what’s app group and the admin has no control.
