Mangaluru: The Indian Design School hosts third ‘Design Celebration’ event
Mangaluru: The Indian Design School hosted its third ‘Design Celebration’ on Saturday, 28th September 2019 – a monthly event where it invites award-winning, celebrated architects and interior designers across the country for conducting talks on design, projects and professional practice.
It serves as a platform where exchange of ideas and knowledge takes place to inspire young and creative minds to achieve excellence. The talk is generally followed by the presentation of the event sponsors.
On this event, IDS invited Ar. Muhammed Iqbal as the guest speaker, with Fenesta Windows as the workshop partner. Ar. Muhammed Iqbal is an award-winning practicing architect and interior designer. He is the founder and Chief Architect of Archiqs and a member of COA.

In addition, he has been in the field of architectural education for nearly a decade – making him the best of both worlds of academics and professional practice.
The theme of the event was “Functional Interiors with Eco-Friendly Approach”, where Ar. Iqbal presented some of his best projects and the challenges behind each project to make it cost-effective, highly functional and with low environmental impact. The talk provided the students with an in-depth understanding on materials, budget and site constraints, construction management and green design. A question-answer session was conducted at the end of the talk which gave the students a further clarity on finer details of design.
The Talk was followed by the presentation of Fenesta Windows by Mr. Mayur and Mr. Sandeep K.N., who gave a detailed information on the various of products offered by the company to architects and interior designers.

Swamiji fires gun into the air in Kalaburagi village, video goes viral
Kalaburagi: An incident involving a swamiji firing a gun into the air has been reported from Udachan village in Afzalpur taluk of Kalaburagi district. The act, captured on video, has since gone viral on social media.
The swamiji has been identified as Sri Shantalinga Shivacharya, pontiff of the Hiremath of Sri Shankaralingeshwara Samsthana. According to reports, the incident took place on Sunday evening within the premises of the math, where the swamiji allegedly fired a single-barrel gun into the air.
This is not the first time the swami has courted controversy. Last year, he was reportedly found driving erratically under the influence of alcohol in Salotagi village of neighbouring Indi taluk, following which members of the public confronted him. He later fled from the math, sources said.

More recently, during the annual fair of the Sri Shankaralingeshwara Math in Udachan village, the swami had arrived at the village with police protection, claiming to be the rightful pontiff of the math. Despite opposition from villagers, he reportedly went ahead and conducted rituals related to the fair.
The latest incident of firing the gun into the air has triggered criticism, especially after the video surfaced online. Further action, if any, is awaited from the authorities.
