Redawn

It was a weird day in February. The weather which was hot during early February turned abruptly chilly during second half. The weather can be so much chaotic. This is not first time we witness such weird weather. There were many instances during monsoon season when rains would be holidaying for almost a month. The definition of chaotic does not mean absence of intense activity. It also means there is something confusing.



For instance:

Last year monsoon during July saw heavy rains nearby Western ghats and simultaneously lull activity in coast. Both the situations are chaotic because the slopes of western ghats saw irrational quantity of rains and the west coast had subdued monsoon activity. There was chaos at both ends but based on different conditions

Back to subject line! The uncanny chilly weather had shed huge blanket of fog over the abandoned fields of my village. That was the dense fog I have ever witnessed on tropical land. It looked as if the fog was suspended over the fields. As the sun slowly crawled up the horizon, the golden hue illuminated the mist.



After weeks of sticky weather, the day "Redawn"ed with entirely different mood much to the relief of tropical dwellers. The colorful charm added to the glory of landscape enthusiasts filling his frame with vivid natural scenes. The ISPRL project structures were the only blemishing part in frame (and not to forget the sensor patches which I am in process of cleaning). Overall the re-dawned landscape views stemming from the fog culminated in surreal pictures despite the arid vegetation. The first set of pictures were documented in previous post here


Not to forget, this different redawn implicitly invited a series of sickness including severe fever to kids.

While the weather re-dawned in our village with chilly vibe, my g+ activity concluded owing to ramp down by google. Thanks for all the supporters and kindred landscapers. As of now my work has also re-dawned in couple of platforms

1) MeWe
2) Twitter

Hope I receive similar support as before for my landscape work.

The redawn reminds of Nery beautiful uplifting work Redawn. The best of all is "Blueman's remix of the original"



Well the entire range of song is worth listening to, there are interesting spots which are endearing to me. I loop them on every occasion.

at 1:48 when bassline compliments for loops. 

Later on, the symphony actually outsets and listen till 2:58 to enjoy the melody with complimenting bassline.

from 3:15 to 4:05 is the main melody, the signature blueman violin.

The fantastic part for me is the lead progression from 4:08 to 4:54. This is the duration I engross in watch the sun rays peeking through the trees of village, pricking the fog line, illuminating with golden colors.
The part from 4:56 to 6:20 represents the glory of the embellishing landscape elements which make up the frame commensurate to the rhythm of orchestral instruments. Such a splendid masterpiece!

Apart from Blueman's work, the original & Innes Erthser mix is also ear catching to hear.


The superb part of below remix is from 3:15 to 4:38. A heart blooming melody of piano. The lead progression thereafter also worth hearing as well!

Roadwork Sunset

29 May 2019

The election saga is over. Fortunately, we have ruler with sufficient majority to rule on its own. This helps Indian economy to grow and flourish in long run. However, the poor monsoon onset is showing negative signs on country whose economy majorly lies with agriculture. The intense cloud activity over Arabian sea is triggering high hopes of making landfall soon.



Back to square one. The incumbent rulers of Karnataka were shamefully flushed out in central elections. The road work which started as election gimmick were thought to be stalled permanently owing to shameful defeat. The subdued activity fueled such a surmise. However, today the road equipments made inroads into our territory and thus filling the void of unattended roads. From the apartment terrace we witnessed the roadwork and as well beautiful evening sun. Kids were cheerfully observing the roadwork virtually directing the workman of expected equipment movement. Alongside I was engaged in intermittent horizon shots but naught with clouds.




Unlike earlier posts, now the horizon does not completely fit in frame. The area is obfuscated with residential high risers which block much of sky. Hopefully, the rest of part has culminated well.


On our return, we witnessed huge storm cloud barraging towards our area which kindled hope of heavy shower. Unfortunately it did not. This massive cloud band had lost charm by the time it reached the sky over our apartment. Nevertheless, Bangalore had one of the best pre-monsoon spells this summer in spite of late arrival.

Apply for full KYC(CKYC) at CAMS

As you are aware, eKYC caps maximum MF investment per AMC to 50000 per financial year. The Centralized KYC is must to remove this cap limitation. Also CKYC can be used for many other useful financial instruments. My KYC was Aadhar based OTP which is termed as eKYC. Nowadays Aadhar based eKYC is chargeable. eKYC has been limiting my MF investment to 50k per year. This will hinder the SIP top-up advantage. Hence I decided to move towards CKYC which will ensure full fledged investment without any cap limit. The CKYC needs In Person Verification (IPV) of documents. Hence, I took break from work for couple of hours to apply for CKYC at CAMS office where my eKYC is registered.


I chose Dickenson road CAMS for furnishing my KYC documents. The office is located right above the Bhima Jewellers near Manipal Centre. Pay and Park services are available for both two & four wheelers nearby building. The pay and park facility levies Rs.10 per hour for two wheelers. Don't expect a sophisticated parking arena. The parking area is floored with loose mud. So be heedful while parking bike with centre stand. There are high chances of bike tumbling if not erected properly on firm ground. Seek the help of supervisor. Fortunately, the area is shrouded with tall trees and surrounded by concrete buildings which preclude the sunlight into the region. This avoids the fuel evaporation in bikes and baking of car interiors. I am not sure on availability of visitor parking in CAMS building premises.

Couple of weeks back, I had enquired about the required documents for promoting to CKYC. The following documents are required

1) Original PAN card (for ID proof)
2) Original Address Proof for permanent residence (I carried aadhar)
3) Original Address Proof for correspondence (If different from permanent address)
4) One Passport size photograph
5) One Self Attested Photocopies of (1), (2) & (3)

Additionally, following details I learnt after reaching CAMS office

1) KYC form needs to be filled up. Simple and straightforward
2) Carry your own stationery (Blue pen for filling application & Glue to affix your photograph). I do carry stationery whenever there is official/bank work.
3) If your correspondence address is different than permanent address, then address proof for the correspondence address also needs to be furnished along with permanent one.
4) Note down Folio number one of MFs you invested. This needs to be mentioned in form. I noted one of MF folio number from myCAMS app.

After entering CAMS office, pull token from automatic token vending machine and sit back. When your turn arrives, the appropriate counter will be displayed. There were four counters at Dickenson road office. The office is fully Air conditioned. A big relief for bike rider after wriggling out of traffic heck under blistering summer midday Sun.

I filled the KYC form and furnished the originals. There was tad deviation from user name in PAN and what was mentioned in eKYC. I mentioned that even Income Tax site has successfully linked my Aadhar with PAN, so this deviation is not concern. The PAN authority adds father name as last name for individuals without last name. After the staff was convinced, further processing commenced. It took and hour to complete the procedure. The office personnel declared that KYC is done and we get intimation in 15-20 days. I was relieved by listening to the personnel but cant rest till I get final go to increase my cap. Meanwhile, I did not receive any acknowledgement or SMS on form submission. I am not sure if that is OK.

The CAMS office is closed on 2nd and 4th Saturdays and Public holidays inline with government holidays. There is no fee to apply for CKYC

Post the completion of work, I rode towards Indiranagar and enjoyed sumptuous meal at MTR. They serve meal from 12:30 to 3:30. Make sure you park the bike at designated place. Parking over footpath will invite towing of your vehicle and MTR has clearly stated it. I had bitter experience already. Fortunately, I spotted a tow van which awoke my inner conscious to park at right place. Post meals, its back home and work resume.




You can check status description here: https://kra.ndml.in/kra-web/jsps/pos/KYCStatusDescription.html
You can check status Karvy site or CAMS KRA site: https://camskra.com/

Update as on 25-04-2019

Today I checked CAMS KRA website and the KYC status is updated to "Under Process" with yesterday's date i.e. date of submission.



Update after a week (02-05-2019)

Today i checked status and it says KYC Registered. Hope to receive 14 digit kyc soon. It takes 2 weeks I heard. Fingers crossed



Update after 15 days

In contrast to what was mentioned by CAMS staff, I did not receive any CKYC ID after gap of 15 days. When I contacted CAMS office, they asked me to contact one of mutual fund house. When contacted with SBI MF, they in turn asked me to check with CAMS. Nobody likes such ping-pong but have to bear with it. This imbroglio somewhat startled me. I was tempted to write a grievance email to CAMS (grievancesATcamskra.com ) and I did so immediately. The CAMS office promptly replied back asking its staff to create CKYC id. 3 days later one of the staff from SBI MF replied with generated CKYC ID and I was elated. That's the end of chronicles of procuring CKYC ID. Sometimes destiny makes you struggle for trivial things which is frustrating at outset but satisfying during conclusion.

I believe once KYC status is updated as "KYC Registered - New KYC" with IPV flag to true, you can invest in MF beyond 50k per financial year. The generation of CKYC ID is just a formality. Just a surmise and not to be taken

Sunset - Beautiful Light

26 May 2019,

Today, during our routine walk along rachenahalli lake, we had great evening sunlight illuminating the eastern horizon. The weather was calm, the water was still paving way for fantastic reflections on lake water. The continuous rains from past 4 days have rendered the atmosphere crystal clear without haze. Consequently, the sky was azure and the light was perfect. Today we had relatively less or no cloud activity in the skies which accentuated the blue hue in sky. This enabled me to capture those cityscape beautifully reflecting off the lake water. Since the light was perfect, there was no necessity of turning on HDR. Here are the pictures caught during our brief walk with redmi note 6 pro and edited in snapseed. Hope you enjoy them










The weather can get whimsical though. The azure skies towards late evening turned cloudy and at night it poured with high velocity winds and aggressive lightning. The grumbling thunder ensued. The rains were heavy, the winds uprooted trees and flooded roads. Just when I was wondering that we may have rain free day, the rain gods killed my predictions. It was not possible to shoot the night rains since the intensity of thunder & lightning was perilous.
