Bantwal

Bantwal is a Taluk of Mangalore in Dakshina Kannada district, Karnataka, India, and the headquarters of Bantwal taluk. It is located 25 km (16 mi) East of Mangalore city center. BC Road-Kaikamba of Bantwal is one of the fastest developing areas in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka.

Along with BC Road-Kaikamba, Panemangalore & Melkar regions are also urbanized. They are also developing as the eastern suburbs of Mangalore. Towards east of Mangalore, the stretch to BC Road-Kaikamba region forms a continuous Mangalore Urban Agglomeration area which is currently the second biggest in Karnataka after Bangalore. Bantwal is the fourth largest urban area in Dakshina Kannada district after Mangalore, Ullal (both comes under Mangalore Urban Agglomeration area) & Puttur in terms of population.

It is situated on the banks of River Nethravati on the National Highway 73 (India). The adjacent town of B.C. Road (Bantwal Cross Road) serves as the commercial center.

Previously, the town of Bantwal was known for trade with the Persian Gulf states, being so close to Mangalore. However, flooding caused by the river Netravathi during the monsoons compelled traders and newer settlements to move to the adjacent city of B.C. Road due to its higher altitude. Gradually, most Government offices shifted to B.C. Road.

Prior to 1852, Bantwal Taluk was the largest taluk in the entire of Canara Province (then comprising North Canara, Udupi, Mangalore and Kasaragod Districts) with 411 villages and a total population of 1,69,416. In 1852, a portion of it was formed into the Taluk of Puttur.[2] Bantwal was an entrepot for the produce of the province on its way to the Mysore Country and had derived a great benefit of late years from the extension of the coffee trade. It contained about thousand scattered houses inhabited by Billava, Bunts, Bhandary, Ganigas, Kulals, Goud Saraswat Brahmins, Konkani Catholics and a few Jains.[2]

Bantwal is located along the coast of river Netravathi. Every year due to heavy rains the river floods. National Highway 73 cuts through B. C. Road. The highway serves as the conduit for several arterial routes leading to neighbouring towns with Mangalore. Mangalore is connected with other cities in Karnataka such as Mysore and Bangalore by National Highway 275 (India) and National Highway 75 (India) respectively. It is well connected to Uppala through Uppala-Mudipu-Bantwal Highway.

I'm doing a thing but look at this exasperated and confused dude! They are so tired of Donny's shit and they've only known him a day lol.

A short thing inspired by @warmblanketwhump‘s post about fever chills that's been in my drafts for way too long 😅

The conversation had become a distant blur of sounds A no longer had the energy to follow; they ceased the polite nods and “mhm”s miles ago, opting instead to sit quietly, gazing out the window at passing scenery with half-lidded eyes while the others chatted around them.

"...'bout you A?" Who? "Think they fell asleep" C gently nudged A's arm and repeated B's question "We're stopping soon, do you want anything?" "No..." They shivered. "...could you turn down the AC?" B's brow furrowed in concern from behind the wheel. "A, the AC is off. You ok?" Now that they though about it, A had been unusually quiet. "Mhm" A mumbled. They were still half-asleep, still exhausted and aching and freezing... but they didn't to ruin the trip. A straightened up in the seat and did their best to keep the next shiver at bay. "Yeah, I'm fine."

#sickfic whump #fever #hiding an illness #chills #illness #i just love the idea of a character getting sick on a road trip #C reaches for A's forehead and either 1: A involuntarily leans into the touch and C notices how warm they are #or 2: A doesn't let them touch and gets to hide it a little longer #B decides to get some medicine at the rest stop just in case? #(if anyone wants to expand on this drabble go ahead!)

Sometimes when I’m birdwatching

#sometimes when i’m birdwatching #things that aren’t birds #skunk #I mean c’mon #would you rather have a gifset #of some dumb movie #or this adorable little dude/dudette? #they were walking along the road in montecito #where I was trying #and failing #to find the black-and-white warbler #that eric had scouted the day before #for the carpinteria cbc #and they didn’t see me #b/c I was just standing their quietly in the pre-dawn #as one does #and I wondered #how close are they gonna get before they notice me? #just be chill I thought #don’t scare them #and then they did notice me #and they were cool about it #just a pause #and then turned around and crossed the road #and left #when this blog dies #where will those moments go?

yay one of my neighbor's fifteen loose dogs bit me, animal services won't do anything, and despite cops constantly and i do mean constantly driving up and down my street because of a stupid highway that goes right through my neighborhood not one of them has done anything about it! which means if i want to go on a walk i have to cross two lanes of a busy road to get to another street just to avoid dog bite 2: this time i'm taking the leg off because no one will do anything about the fifteen loose dogs! 🥴

#and now i'm having pains in my leg that i don't know are related or not! #i called the cops and they said i would be getting an email but none has been sent #and again i don't feel safe enough to walk on my own shitty road which i thought was bad enough #with all the stupid traffic coming from aformentioned stupid highway #i can't get in to see a doctor anywhere and i'm just praying the dog didn't have anything b/c all #the e.r gave me was a tetnus shot and my white trash neighbor quote doesn't know if they had their shots #i'm just so pissed 😊 #i need to walk and my partner doesn't feel safe going even a little in that direction not that i disagree with her #and our only option is that other neighborhood across the street #i don't like confrontation and i like talking to cops even less i hate it here i hate it here

WHATS WITH RIN AND LEN BEING INVOLVED WITH STEAMROLLERS

IS THIS AN INSIDE JOKE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT I DONT KNOW ABOUT

ITS A REALLY OLD THING THAT GOES W/ THEM, FROM YEARS BACK LMAO. dont quote me on all of this cause i dont remember exactly its been a while but iirc:

so early vocaloid fandom internet memes led to most of the popular character + item associations that we see today (miku and spring onions/leeks, kaito and ice cream, etc), basically trying to assign some sort of 'signature item' to every new vocaloid release (this was like 2007-2011 for timeframe reference). these sorta became 'item wars' b/c there was the push to get some of these fandom-assigned to be officially recognized (and some of them were, as you can see merch now for example featuring kaito & his ice cream item)

i don't remember why a road roller was specifically tied to rin & len? i think it had to do w/ videos featuring them and. road rollers (possibly on niconicodouga) that went viral around their original release. this was before the orange & banana association both of them have more commonly now i think (that which i do know the reason for: rin's is orange b/c her bow looks like orange leaves and len's banana b/c his hair kinda[?] looks like a bunch of bananas), and there were these lil figures released for them:

however though i'm p sure the road roller as their item became replaced w/ the orange & banana that were more favored (easier to draw lmao?? and fit more w/ the food theme that a lot of the other items had).

anyways the item war trend/meme kinda died out around 2018 and nowadays you don't really see people talking abt it. but yeah tldr; roadrollers & these two used to be a big meme thing but not anymore

#ask #vocaloid #SORRY IF THAT STILL DOESNT CLEAR ANYTHING UP??? im still not sure why of all things a road roller was picked for them #the only thing i can guess is maybe something like. b/c that happened around the time of their release people were already expecting these #two were gonna crush their competition (other vocas released prior to 2007) so. make that literal w/ a roadroller. or b/c its yellow idk?? #im not an official vocaloid historian this is just shit i vaguely remember so yeah. dont take my word official 100% on it #if someone else remembers better and would like to provide insight feel free to do so ahkhsjghkg

Watching Don and Betty parent (together or separately) on Mad Men is so so sad (because I don’t think either of them ever wants to be mean to their kids! I think they both genuinely want to be better than their horrifying parents! The bar is just very very low!) but also kind of funny. It’s like if somebody gave some kids to the most neurotic of the popular junior girls at a private high school and a confident teenage drifter. How do they have a house??? They should be in a road movie about two college freshmen who couldn’t be more different but their boyfriend and girlfriend go to the same college so they carpool and hijinks ensue.

#the bf is Henry Francis #he’s in law school and still obsessed with Nelson Rockefeller #I don’t know which of don’s mistresses would be the funniest #I think the best options are #(a) one of the married ones (Bobbie or Sylvia) #(his life is still messy and yes he did use some hustlery and scammitude to get into college what of it) #(b) midge (easy choice) #or (c) a fake out with platonic ID theft wife Anna (…awww?) #I think their marriage might have worked if they’d hashed out some issues on a wacky road trip first #call me old-fashioned but! #mad men #(oh and Betty decides not to go with Henry because his mom is there for some reason)

I have an announcement

Boyfriend is no longer my boyfriend

He’s been prompted to fiancé

He proposed in the middle of a road trip overlooking the beach and it was hilarious. He’s got Zero skills at being sneaky about things so I knew to get my nails done ahead of time. Also he was nervous AF.

So we walk along the beach bridge, I’m taking photos of the sunset, and from behind me he goes “Carter, stop walking now!”, and there he was with the ring.

He did manage to hide that it was my great-great Aunt Gusty’s engagement ring, which he got stones for and had all fancied up and resized.

Anyway. We can’t stop giggling like idiots.

#I called my parents to tell them and I couldn’t hear my mom’s reaction b/c my dad starting cheering so loud #whole family is doing the road-trip dogs included #so Parents and Bug are in the SUV with Daisy and Ted #While bae and I are in our own car #also called grandma who immediately started crying and had to go tell grandpa #BFF called me and we squealed at each other for like 3 minutes b/c she just got married and I caught the bouquet at her wedding #I think my dad was the most excited tho

[e-b-reads]

Didn't have to leave the house for work or school today, which was nice because it's pouring rain...but I did need to prevent going stir-crazy, which I did by putting on an extra layer, making tea, and sitting on my roofed porch to start a new Victorian-set mystery series.

#actually i also went to the grocery store in the morning #but the local grocery store is right down the road so it was a quick trip #the book is: #the woman who spoke to spirits #alys clare #reserving judgement so far b/c i'm not too far in yet #eb's photos

Portugal: Week 1

#because my life is just a comedy of errors #I went out Saturday night after having stayed in all day (except to go to the gym) because it was so hot and world youth day was making #everything insane #I ordered Goan food from a place 20 minutes from where I’m staying #walked to pick it up #and as I was heading back #I saw all these old ladies gathered by the side of the road chattering with each other in Portuguese about the pope #I didn’t really know what was happening but I decided to hang out for ten minutes to see what would happen #and lo and behold the pope came right by us #not the stones #me stuff #portugal #lisbon #there aren’t many good food pics #because I was barely eating last week #(b/c heat and jet lag) #but my goal this week #other than getting archive work done #is to explore the city more

Sometimes when I'm birdwatching

#sometimes when i’m birdwatching #things that aren’t birds #again I'm cheating #b/c I didn't put in a list from where we were staying #so I've linked to the checklist from a couple of hours before #just up the road #maybe a gull or two flew by while we were enjoying the sunset? #and they totally could have flown down from the state park #I dunno

I've been listening to Al Stewart's "Roads to Moscow," the soundtrack to the fuckery in uniform that Stede orchestrates near the end of s2e8.

I wasn't at all familiar with Stewart's work before watching this episode, but I am chuckling that Stewart read approximately 40 books of history while writing this single song, which is now lovingly showcased in the season finale of a series that uses historical moments as jumping off points for fiction.

I spent enough time attempting to be an academic to love the impulse to read All The Books About The Event before trying to write about the event. But damn if I don't also appreciate DJenks' irreverence toward the historical record, given the massive numbers of important stories that have fallen through its crevices.

#'as we're stealing through the blackness of the night you'll never know- you'll never hear us' #the poignancy of the song too- the speaker being sent to internal exile in siberia b/c of the day he spent captured by germans #knowing he won't get to go home #really a perfect pivot from the triumph of getting the crew back onto the revenge into the realization that they're losing izzy #this is why you use 8-minute-long epic songs about historical events #even if you only have space to use a little bit / the parts you don't use have resonance too #ofmd s2e8 #ofmd s2 spoilers #al stewart #roads to moscow #our flag means death #Youtube
