BA Mohidin's autobiography 'Nannolagina Naanu' to be released on July 20
Mangaluru, July 18: Former minister BA Mohidin's autobiography 'Nannolagina Naanu' would be released at the Town Hall here on July 20 at 4 pm.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, autobiography narrators BA Mohammad Ali and Mohammad Kulai said that former Vice-chancellor Dr BA Vivek Rai would release the autobiography.
‘Nudi Namana’, in memory of late BA Mohidin would also be held on the occasion. Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar, former minister MC Nanaiah, Ministers UT Khader, Zameer Ahmed Khan, MLCs BM Farooq, Ivon D’Souza, MLA D Vedavyas Kamath, educationist Prof Radhakrishna Bengaluru, Mayor Bhaskar Moily, Chairman of Bearys Group Syed Muhammad Beary, Karavali Education Institution's Chairman Ganesh Rao, Chancellor of Yenepoya university Yenepoya Abdul Kunhi, Varthabharati Editor-in-Chief Abdussalam Puthige, Umar Teekay of Teekays , CPI District secretary V Kukyan, CPM district secretary K Vasanth Achari, SDPI District president Athaullah Jokatte would take part in it, Mohammed Ali said.
" We tried to write the autobiography of BA Mohidin for the last four years. But he did not respond to it positively. He had said that he did not do any achievements and had done his duty. When he was pressurised to explain about his life as it would be an inspiration to the next generation, he had agreed to narrate his story. When he was asked questions, he answered them very happily. As a result, ‘Nannolagina Naanu’ is now ready for release, said Muhammad Kulai.
After completing the book, they read the entire book before him at Mangaluru and Bengaluru where he was admitted to hospitals. He was so happy and waiting for its release. After seeing the invitation card, he gave some suggestions for the success of the programme. But his demise before the release of his autobiography was a great loss to the society. But they have the satisfaction of recording his life, achievements and values, said Muhammad Ali.
The 232 page book would cost Rs 250 and on the day of release, it would be sold at Rs 200. The book would be sent to all universities and schools and college libraries besides, MLAs, MPs, former MLAs and his political colleagues. Already, Mohidin fans have come forward to supply the book to the libraries of universities and schools and colleges across the state, Muhammad Kulai said.
BA Mohidin son Asif Masood, son-in-law Ahmed Sharief were present at the press conference.

ISRO's analogue space mission kicks off at Leh
Bengaluru, Nov 1: ISRO on Friday said its analogue space mission has taken off at Leh in Ladakh, where it will simulate life in an interplanetary habitat as India prepares to send a human to the moon.
The initiative is a collaborative effort of the Human Spaceflight Centre, ISRO, AAKA Space Studio, University of Ladakh, IIT Bombay, and supported by Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council.
The month-long mission, kicked off mid-October, comes in the wake of India's plans to set up lunar habitats, which could provide a base to launch inter-planetary missions.
The geographical features of Ladakh are considered to closely resemble Martian and lunar landscapes and are an ideal training ground for scientific missions aimed at exploring planets "India's first analog space mission kicks off in Leh...this mission will simulate life in an interplanetary habitat to tackle the challenges of a base station beyond Earth," ISRO said in a post on X.
The team of AAKA Space Studio is testing environment suits and conducting geological studies in Leh's low-oxygen environment, simulating space-like conditions, studies that could be crucial for future space missions.
The team is also studying how the human body adapts to the harsh weather conditions in Ladakh that could be useful in understanding how astronauts could get used to space like conditions.
