Jaggesh-- An Actor

"Yescape", "kage harisu", "touching.touching...touching".
These are the words which will be known to etymologists of kannada , if they have not watched Jaggesh's kannada films. Because these are the words coined by none other than JAGGESH--The NAVARASA NAYAKA. Jaggesh's original name is Eshwar, today he is celebrating his birthday,so being an ardent fan of him i thought of writing about this versatile actor.
Eventhough his native is as he tells 'JMS' ( Jade MayaSandra) in one of the films.He was brought up by his parents in Sriramapura of Bangalore.He have numerous number of fans in karnataka. He is favourite for the producers of the films because the investment of his films are less compared to films of other heroes in kannada film industry. He is a minimum guarentee actor for a producer. Only big investment for the producers who produce Jaggesh's films is Jaggesh's payment only. No high paid heriones, musicains, and technicians required as many of his films are shooted in village backdrop.
He started his career in the early years of 1980 by doing small roles ( remember his role in Ravichadaran's box office hit 'Ranadheera') and negative roles ( In Ambarish's 'Rowdy MLA' and Ravichandran's 'Yuddha kaanda'), he came to limelght as a hero by palying protaganist role in Upendra's 'Tarle nan maga' which is famous till today as the one of the most hilarious film of kannada. Day by day his acting skills and capabilities are maturing which can be seen in his recent films like 'Yeddelu Manjunatha' and 'Lift kodla'.
He is married to Parimala whom he loved in his salad days at srirampura. His marraige dispute was the first case to appear from south  India to appear in Supreme court of India . This went to court because his wife now was underage then , there Justice. Bagawathi gave the decision in favor of Jaggesh based on the ground of humanity. They have led a wonderfull life together and has two sons.
The role model for Jaggesh is Dr.Raj and Jerry Lewis. His mannersims, body language has its root in Jerry Lewis's acting.
He is well versed in making mimicry of other personalities and famous for his pranks. His programme "Talk of the town" which is hosted for kasturi channel was a big hit, in which mimicry and palying pranks were exhibited to maximum extent.
He entered politics through congress party and lost his debut assembly election in Turuvekere Vidhanasabha constituency. Won in 2008 elections and joined BJP, now he is vice chairman of KSRTC. Whatever may be his political moves and ideologies, kannadugas love him more as an actor and jsut as an actor.
He is a disciple of Sri Guru Raghavendra Swamy , now he sport a tatoo of Raghavendra swamy on his right sholuder and his mother's image as a tatoo on his left shoulder.
Happy birthday to this great actor and may god bless him with gud helath wealth and prosperity throughout his lifetime.

 

The guy with bat and ball had more than one life

The boy who has got bat usually didnt agree with his peers when i was bowled out. Its very commonsense that the play wont be continued if he runs away to his home with his bat. So everyone used to curse the boy who has got bat and used to let him play even when they have bowled him out. The guy who got the ball was given less priority because many of us cricket balls as thay are cheap compared to bats. This tendency of arguing with peers to bat agian was there, is there and wiil be there. Everyone likes batting more than bowling(thats team INDIA's batting lineup is very gud,contrast to bowling..LOL). The first ever playground where we played cricket was a temple courtyard in front of temple near my house. The balls were made up of plastics and rubber we used to play. I dont why but we used call rubber ball as KMS ball. Each team consisted of half of the number of people who had came to play, if anyone is extra then i was made as joker(used to get bat on both sides,no bowling was allowed). Probably this concept as its root in playing cards where we use joker , the card which can be placed with any cards. The distance between the wikcets was around 15-25 feets and that was called as short pitch cricket. Bowling was not allowed as they do in international cricket. The bowler has to stand and jsut throw the ball at the batsmen. Even though it looks simple to play this short pitch cricket , it get complicated when you just get into bat. Some many fielders will be there and some more restrictions will also be there. For eg: If the ball falls after certian marking then it was regarded as out. And even if the ball its the wall and catch by a fielder was considered as out. This cricket was going to the extreme conditions during summer and dasara holidays. In rainy season, cricket was played inside house that in hall or portico , that style of cricket was called was "pitch catch cricket", There will be around 5-7 feet distance between the bowler and batsmen, and 2-3 guys will be fielders. Wickets was not required for this pattern, the only way to get the batsmen out was by cacthing the ball which hasd pitched only once from the ground or a direct catch has to be taken. Lot of patience and tenacity is required play this pattern of cricket.
