Bengaluru, 22nd June 2020 : Introduced with the intention of keeping the Jawa Kommuniti engaged during the lockdown, the #JawaKommunitiKustoms online contest witnessed a stirring response from avid Jawa fans, followers and virtual design artists alike. The contest, hosted on the brand’s Instagram platform got huge engagement with the online community, with over half a million users interacting with the content in some form. For a niche subject like motorcycle customization the response was heartening to see. This also led to a healthy number of entries for the judges to choose from.
The contest wrapped up with the announcement of three winners picked by a panel of judges including the Classic Legend’s executives and design team. Soheil Kalarickal,an art director from Bangalore topped the scoreboard for his rendition of a Jawa forty two reimagined as a mix of brat and café racer style. Milind Solanki’s Cockatrice bagged the 1st runner-up position. Milind is an architect from Surat and gave the Jawa a classical adventure touring twist. Shri Lohar, a polytechnic graduate from Belgaum, used to Jawa forty two to add a minimalistic sports-scrambler touch to the bodywork.
The winner will get a custom hand-painted commemorative Jawa fuel tank while all three on the podium will be awarded signed copies of “The Forever Bike” coffee table book by Adil Jal Darukhanawala that details out the journey of Jawa brand and its motorcycles spread across nine decades.
But that’s not all for the winners! All three will also get an opportunity to intern with the company’s Design Team at its headquarters and a chance to turn their design concepts into reality. Classic Legends has offered this internship to enable these budding designers to hone their skills in terms of design as well as fabrication techniques.
About the contest:
The Jawa Kommuniti Kustoms contest was held between April 29th- May 3rd. 2020 in an effort to enhance community engagement and keep spirits up during the Covid-19 lockdown. Jawa aficionados were invited to share custom concepts of Jawa Motorcycles via sketches or 3D renders on Jawa Motorcycles’ official social platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The advantage of a virtual contest was that participants could truly let their imaginations run wild, and the entries received were both brilliant and detail-oriented, making it truly difficult to pick a winner.
Earlier this year, Dolby introduced a free music and video recording and streaming app- Dolby On in India. The app comes with an interesting live-streaming feature for both Android and iOS users that easily record and live stream audio and video with superior Dolby sound quality by using just your phone, letting you capture the moment when it strikes with unmatched simplicity. The feature can be used easily in the two following ways, first through its indigenous Twitch integration and second through RTMP (real- time messaging protocol). With the latter, you can live-stream to more platforms like Youtube, Vimeo, etc. wherein you have to choose “Custom URL as your connection option, then copy and paste the platform’s streaming key and RTMP link and just go live! Dolby On listens to the sound coming in and automatically applies audio effects like compression, EQ, limiting, noise reduction, stereo widening, de-essing and more. You can further edit the sound with unique sound “styles” – like photo filters in Instagram, these allow you to apply sonic profiles to your recording. Thus, enabling creators to record and livestream, both audio and video, with exceptional Dolby sound from the comforts of their home, without having to go to a studio. Here are some Pro-Tips to the make most of the Dolby On App. For video, frame your shot by setting up your phone or tablet, and ensure your space is lit properly. For audio-only recordings, you should experiment with phone placement to get the right mix of sound sources (for example, capturing the right balance of your voice and guitar.) Check your levels and keep an eye on the in-app level meter if you’re in the red, reduce your volume or move the phone further away to avoid clipping. Should you be using the live streaming feature, make sure you have your Facebook or Twitch feeds available nearby on a separate device so you can view feedback and engage with your viewers in real time. While live streaming will work from a good cell data signal, we definitely recommend a strong WiFi connection for best results.

Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa convened a meeting with ministers and senior officials regarding containing Covid 19 in Bengaluru.
Highlights of the meeting:
As the number of cases are increasing in Bengaluru at an alarming rate and Chief Minister opined that this can be contained only if preventive measures have to be implemented strictly, he said.
He directed the officials to work in this direction.
Lockdown shall be implemented strictly in the clusters which reported more number of cases, especially, K.R. Market and surrounding areas such as Siddapura, VVPuram, Kalasipalya etc. It was decided to seal the the adjoining streets, where the cases are reported.
Stringent action would be taken against those who violate quarantine and FIR would be filed if necessary.
Officers were directed to fix rates for treatment of Covid patients in Private hospitals to enable patients avail treatment in private hospitals.
It was also decided to set up fever clinics in all wards.
Officers were directed to maintain hygiene and provide other basic amenities to the people who were quarantined in Social welfare hostels and other government institutions.
Covid 19 should be contained without affecting the economic activities in Bengaluru, which resumed recently, CM said.
Booth level officers and volunteers are working to trace contract and monitor on quarantined persons.
War room shall have real time information on availability of beds in various Covid hospitals and shall facilitates the infected to avail treatment without losing any time.
Deputy Chief Minister Dr. C.N. Ashwathnarayana, Revenue Minister R. Ashoka, Home Minister Basavaraja Bommai, Chief Secretary to Government T.M. Vijayabhaskar, Additional Chief Secretary and Development Commissioner Vandita Sharma, Additional Chief Secretary to Government, Health Department, Jawaid Akhthar and other senior officers were present.
At a time when Corona virus is at its peak, the Department of Health, the Medical Education Department, the BBMP and other departments are playing with people’s lives.
Irresponsible behaviour on the part of Ministers like Minister of Medical Education K. Sudhakar shows that Our Honourable Chief Minister has no control over his cabinet and officials.
Government officials and ministers of state government with vested interest in private hospitals are exploiting the public by framing various rules. Bengaluru’s Victoria Hospital which comes under the Medical Education Department is refusing to, even admit, Corona positive cases. But Minister K. Sudhakar looks unaware and seems to be involved with these hospitals.
A BBMP health official has stated in the media that there is no coordination between the various departments, which implies that the government has lost control of the situation.
The Aam Aadmi Party criticizes the government for its corruption. It has no serious plans for the control of Covid-19 and is using this pandemic to make money. The hospitals which come under the Medical Education Department have been clearly indicated and these hospitals are mere puppets of the Minister of Medical Education K. Sudhakar.
The Aam Aadmi Party demands that the Chief Ministers should immediately co-ordinate with the State Health Ministry, Medical Education Department and BBMP and stop playing with the lives of people.
