She relates to this story sans the romantic angle. The title of the movie sounded so apt to her that it helped her take a step closer to the good old memories that she had enjoyed of her initial college days. This was enough reason for her to accept to act in a Kannada movie.After completing her PUC (pre-university course), she took up anchoring television shows for a lark and as a possible alternative career option to spend the two months when she was free before entering a professional course.
Meet Harshika Poonacha, the young engineering student and television anchor who hails from Ammathi in Kodagu district (near Virajpet), whose debut vehicle PUC is all set to hit the screen.
Currently, Harshika is doing her third semester in electrical and electronics engineering from the Cambridge Institute of Technology, Bangalore and is also anchoring a request show on Udaya TV called Nimminda Nimagaagi and another one called Hrudayadinda.
How did Harshika bag the offer to act in the Kannada movie PUC? Says she, “I started getting film offers after I began anchoring television shows. Film-makers made enquiries about me by calling up producer Shivakumar. I was not interested in accepting any offers. (more)

Should I give you thousands of Kodava women are whore in Mysore and Bangalore insulting fellow Kodavas with Kannadigas. They laugh at them. Just look at the Bangalore and Mysore gathering and how they treat a fellow Kodavas, because of these reasons many Kodavas don’t attend such functions. “United society can not be divided”. Get it. First Kodavas has to correct these fundamental problems; poor or rich must be welcomed in a good faith, stop insulting each other. Kodavas have many social problems in Coorg, especially drinking and those must be addressed and resolved. My messages are not to insult any body but “impact Kodavas’ head”. May be I am wrong, because this is Kali Yuga, right?. Let’s forget the whole thing, any way 2013 is around the corner and around the world people are pulling their money out of the stock market and financial institutions. Many Europeans are building enclosed ships to survive, if Mayan prediction comes true. Be ready if such situation takes place; Coorgs have to collect large amount of guns and ammunitions to protect them selves. Maddy don't be mad, you are a sweet kid.
I order to diplomacy work, a great strength must be demonstrated.
Example-1:
In 1983, the Russian leaders walked out of “Arms control reduction” talks with American leaders. Once Russians deployed many numbers of nuclear warheads pointing towards western European nations. In protest, President Reagan installed many fake nuclear warheads in the western European nations pointing towards Russia. ‘Eye to Eye’. Russians leaders back on “Arms control reduction” talk. In the mean time, Leonid Brezknev died. Eventually under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev “Arms control reduction” succeeded, and implemented, it took over 4 years. The cold war was ended with show of great strength.
The Bhagavath Gita’s last verse talks about future political system; the same system was implemented in the US, not in India. And Reagan tries to invent star war defense Initiative, SDI; Mahabharata war details. Now it is partially implemented, find out, how.
Example-2:
Alexander the gay not great, a mass murders, in 326 BC invaded western ancient India; almost conquered today’s Pakistan. All the Pundits, Swami’s were in deep mediation; all them were informed about Greek gay’s invasion and they said; don’t worry, the Bhagvan will protest us. Didn’t happen. At the time of Alexander’s invasion, Chankaya was a teacher at Taxila University, which was established around 600 BC. 20 years old, Chandragupta Maurya took charge with his 200,000 soldiers over the banks of Ganges and walked into Greek Alexander’s tent with female bodyguards. Greek boy left ancient India wetting himself with fears after witnessing vast Gupta’s Army. In Persia Greek boy Alexander dies with Indian arrow wounds. Again show of greatest ancient Indian strength.
Example-3:
Well, it was the British who gave the Coorgs, the “Freedom” on a silver plate, but the Coorgs; the stupid, C.M Poonacha and others did not know how to keep the will of freedom to improve their own people. It is like giving a diamond necklace to a monkey Poonacha. Because of these people Coorgs are disintegrated amongst Kannadigas. Coorgs are in extremely difficult position to gain the lost glory. Peace does not work, must show solid strength to win the diplomacy. Did the Chinese leaders in 1949 take over Tibet peacefully? Coorgs have to look into Tibetans in Coorg and their improvement. Why did the Islamic and Christian Inquisition destroy the great ancient civilizations around the world? Could be the divine’s plan in Kali Yuga?
Lesson:
Nachappa, and other leaders of coorg, must learn from other key political leaders, if they want to be effective leaders of Coorg. Sit in demonstration or peaceful march in Bangalore and Delhi, giving memorandum to PM, will not produce any immediate effective results in years to come. In fact, Coorgs are not united.
Navajo:
There are over 840 native indigenous people in USA alone; the Navajo is one of the largest, 26,000 sq. miles, also called Navajo nation, vast plain lands, where only Navajo people supposed to work in all the fields, businesses, including police and court systems; no white or blacks are allowed to work. Navajo Origin: Polynesians, Southeast Asians, also many other native indigenous people of American continent. There are no so-called Red Indians in entire American continent, only in the western movies. Native indigenous people; the Hopis, one of the good ones, and they still follow ancient Hindu tradition, allowed to visit their land, but none is allow to take their photography or their land or wander around.
So, in Coorg, the Kodavas must learn from Navajo and run all the businesses (small or medium or large), lands, and jobs. Even though I have traveled 35 countries, nowadays I reside in Coorg. I urge, fellow Kodavas to visit a few foreign lands to understand other ancient culture, their achievements, and their destruction by the Whites, not white people’s pop culture like stupid Hindi movies.
Social problems:
There are thousands of jobs in Coorg but those jobs are held by Kannadigas, especially top jobs; DC, SP, ADC etc and Coorgs must hold those jobs. Where are our young boys and girls supposed to find work other than Coorg? All Kerala people in Coorg run their small businesses relaying on local people to earn profit but Coorgs refuse to run such small businesses because other little rich Coorgs insults the poor Kodavas, instead of helping them. Besides Kodavas love to fight each other - Why all the alcohol drinking among Coorgs - no discipline. I think it is kali Yuga. Diplomatic resolution only works in a normal society and the Kannadigas are psychopathic societies; that is why they have had numerous Rajas to rule them, also throughout India. The ancient India was a divided society and still is – Indians jumps on anything-white people says. Just look the Kannadiga politicians at Bangalore, when an American or British businessmen walks in, they lick white people’s ass inside out like salves for bribe plus for Benz. And the same politicians become bullies in front of Kodavas. The Kannadigas are rats in the rice field! I wonder, how easy it was to conquer the ancient India by the Islamic and British.
Implementation:
Kodavas must acquire some solid determination. In Coorg there is no large-scale varieties of vegetable fields or fruit (such as cherry, apricot, nectarine, peach, pear, strawberry, plum, fig etc) trees to produce large crops? Good profitable businesses. This could be the biggest business than expensive coffee estates or rice fields. Some areas of Coorg are the best place to grow wine grapes, to manufacture fine wine. Best moneymaking ventures. Does any Kodavas own fine chains of restaurants in Coorg or chains of coffee shops or chains of small business or chains of motels in Coorg? The question is why Coorgs are running away to other places to earn small salaries, living in small places, breathing dirt air, because none took leadership to help Coorgs in Coorg in 1950’s. I would say jealous and plain stupidity. Major changes among Coorgs must be necessary to survive.
Future:
Mind you guys, by 2013 there could be a major war throughout the world, which is looming ever closer, say, 2nd Mahabharata war. The Bangalore and Mysore is not immune for such terrible destruction killing at least 800 millions people in India alone, the first Mahabharata war killed 600 millions people. I hope Mayan 2012 prediction might not come true and the people around the world pulling the money out of the stock market and financial institutions. The Europeans building enclosed ships for such destruction to save them selves. Each Yuga lasts for 5,125.5 years, must know the rotation of galaxy, which has a speed over 496,000 miles per hour, NASA’s calculation, the position of our solar system in our galaxy. Once ancient Tamal/Tamil/Tamile/Tamale people have calculated accurately, also Mayan. The Mahabharata war took place around 3,115 BC, in the regions of Central Asia, Middle East, Tibet, Southeast Asia, and Bharata; not indigenous to Bharata only as author Maharshi sage Veda Vyasa has written. The future 2nd Mahabharata war might take place in the same designated regions; this could be the Divine’s Plan!
Sorry, wrong place
In order to diplomacy work, a great strength must be demonstrated.
Well Anonymous
The point i tried to make was for using foul language.
Now let me tell you what i learnt.
We at coorg have this really big crab culture of pulling a person down when he is trying to climb up. I have seen many examples of them.
The only way you can see your community developing is by following it yourself and not laughing it off. I was just visiting a durga pooja pandal yesterday and was surprised at the way the bengalis are maintaining their culture which is their identity and dont think that doing the aarti dance is something small in front of crowds which are primarily people who arent bengalis.
The same way we got to realise that Whats our culture is OUR identity and people should not flinch from following it. Speaking in our mother tongue is supposedly considered low on some peoples mind and trust me i wont want to actually befriend any person who does so. When a kannadiga can talk in kannada why cant kodavas talk in kodava takk? Godamm open minded people wake up. I have seen kodava functions outside coorg and in some places announcements are made in english for christs sake. When will we learn. Well never if we roam with this mindset.
The thing about this actress is i appreciate it as there is some representation in the industry rather than none being there but i dont understand the point of blasting her?
One thing about kannadigas which you said. Buddy the past cannot be erased but common move on. Dont stick with the same and curse them. The way they lost bangalore do you want to loose coorg. I appreciate them and dont have any hard feelings against them. Its just that we arent doing much due to which nothing is happening for us.

PS: I havent travelled the world but i have seen my country
- I was just visiting a ‘durga pooja pandal’ yesterday and was surprised at the way the Bengalis are maintaining their culture which is their identity and don’t think that doing the aarti dance is something small in front of crowds which are primarily people who aren’t Bengalis.
Maddy
So you went to see Dugra; tell me what did you get from durga? Money, pretty girl, live forever. What did you get man? These are the biggest bullshit ever imposed on ancient Indians. Every fake swami has a temple in his/her name and this is insane. Recently, the temple stampede about 146 died at some Devi temple. Need some control about deities; too many all over India.
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra, wealth god, education god, wind god, rain god and earth god, enough is enough. I like monkey god: Hanuman. Everyday I play his mantra in Sanskrit. This fascinates me because how the ancient Indians portrayed Ape as Hanuman and from him human evolution processes took place about 3 millions years ago. Just look at the ancient Indian science. The British took this idea and evolution was born as ‘Darwin theory of evolution’; by Charles Robert Darwin. The ancient Tamil people did not credit for it or any other Indians. I also like Sun god, Vishnu, also called ‘init’ by the Incas, also known as ‘Ra’ in Sanskrit Vedas also by the Egyptians, all referring to Sun god. I worship him everyday because Sun gives me good ‘D’energy.
-When a Kannadiga can talk in Kannada why cant Kodavas talk in Kodava takk?
What is it Maddy; is it English or Tamil, what is it? Kodava takk does not have any underlying power, it does not make sense in this modern world to impose it because of the fundamentals are composed by the Tamil and Kannada. Mada is local tribe’s name appa is Kannada; the resulting formation is Madappa. If Kodavas used Sanskrit letters (which is Devanagari scripts) to form Kodava Takk, then I would have gladly accepted it but it is pure Kannada letters. This is the fundamental problem that I am facing. That means that we are going to back to Kannadigas even for language. Please read new message under CNC. Try to learn some phrases in Sanskrit and here some for you. Also teach your children or your friends. If every Coorgs learns Sanskrit then Coorg will be automatically becomes an independent State, you don’t have to form an army to over throw the Kannadigas’ rule in Coorg
Sanskrit:
Namo Namaha = Namaste
In Sanskrit: Bhavathva nama kim?
In English: What is your name?
In Sanskrit: Mama nama Madappa
In English: My name is Madappa
(Mama means not mother as commonly known worldwide through Latin to Italian to English)
Latin, around 800 BC and Greek, around 600 BC was composed from Sanskrit, called Brahmic Script, which is also used during Chandra Gupta and Ashoka eras; on Ashoka pillars in Middle East, Central Asia and in India.
-I have seen Kodava functions outside Coorg and in some places announcements are made in English
Sorry to say, it has to be in English only, not Kannada or Kodava Takk, a dead dialect. It has no power. Let it go and I know many people are trying to implement it but it will not be successful. Bhagavath Gita clearly says, ‘when the world runs, run along with it’. It means, when the world advanced, learn along with them, and don’t fall back. White people stole the ancient Indian science and mathematics book from Indian temples and they made Airplane, satellite, radio, telephone, TV, automobile and the rest of the world nations followed the advanced nations also India. Now in Bangalore they try to do Vedic design planes using rotatory engine, it is partially successful.
-but I don’t understand the point of blasting her?
I did not blaster her, because in the future she might bring bad names to Coorgs like many bad Kodavathis in Mysore and Bangalore. I hate to repeat it all the time. Kodavas have to correct their fundamental mistakes or do you need a mirror.
The way they lost Bangalore do you want to loose Coorg?
What do mean by they lost Bangalore; the Bangalore has great foundation and it became very powerful in every aspect, I would say, too powerful and respected all over world. What is the strong foundation: the smart people. Coorgs should learn to be smart and clever at the same time. Kodavas may dislike them but their achievement are great, they conquered Coorg without firing a bullet, where Muslims and British failed to conquer it militarily.
The point I tried to make was for using foul language.
Some times foul languages are necessary to provoke or express certain messages effectively. Whores or bitches; constantly girls call each other whore or bitche and they love to use those terms. Not Brahmin or Vedic girls. One needs to control the horses otherwise they became whores and such societies fails. Can you hear what they talk about Kodavathi girls in Mysore and Bangalore; all are whores, a too many bad apples. Sex; all the girls are having it, this is the problem throughout world. 5,000 years ago it was written, in Kali Yuga these things would take place. Look at the world political affairs, something going to happens, all the events are leading to destruction. I won't wish for it. Let’s look at the bright side and forget the minor details of the social problems. “One who he understands a woman, could conquer any woman” but few have and many failed.
I think kodava women are beautiful and kannadigas respect them; and also enjoy them.We want to thank Coorg for giving us such beautiful women. Their beauty should be celebrated on screen. I had an affair with Coorgi girls and also tried to learn their language. I am planning to make an erotic music video celebrating coorg beauties, and their will be a lot of skin show but it will be in a respectful sensual way!
I love Coorg!
What about Kanndiga women having sleeping around with handsome Kodava guys? I know one person from Coorg who has slept with god knows how many kannadiga women! So are they also whores?
Codava brothers wake up, dont tolerate women who are spoiling your community.
Kodagu or Codava are part of Karnataka / Kannadiga's. Kannada is our Language, You need to respect Kodagu, Codava, Kannada and karnataka and its citizens. why you guys just think of Codava or Codava Takk alone!!!. Be united and live in harmony. And you guys talk Bad about women in particular that shows your culture !!!. If a Codava women loves someone else marries non-codava, it is their choice and right to live. If you guys behave in uncultured way, who will care for you or marry you "codava Guys". World has changed a lot. If you are in the stone ages please wake up. If you are thinking acting in film is whore bussines. you need to change the way thinking. When Actress Parents have given go ahead signal to make a good career what is your problem. Don't write such things when you are under the influence of Alcohol.
Think of your mother and sisters are also women.
