Balaga members were treated to an hour long audience with Prof. A.R.Mithra on Sunday the 19 July 2009 at the Christ Church Hall, Didsbury. Taking advantage of his brief visit to the UK this programme was organised by Dr Bhanumathi in a hurry. But this did not detract the audience from enjoying Prof. Mithra’s informative and educational talk quoting freely from Classic Kannada Literature and filled with generous helpings of humour. A recent recipient of Karnataka Sahitya Academy Prof. Mithra never ceases to amaze his audience with his depth of knowledge and ready wit.
