Vinyl Records in Bangalore.

Ever since I bought old hand wound gramophone, have been looking out to buy o more records.

Being a 78 rpm, finding quality records is not only difficult but impossible. After lots of Google searches later, I found this store on Avenue road, Bangalore which sells these vintage collectibles.

So come Saturday, I sat out on exploring one of the busiest and the buzziest market area. Opposite the balaji temple, near chikpet circle on avenue road is this store which from our side looks like any other store selling brass and metal trinkets.

is Seethaphone Company which sells all form of Gramophone records. Although the board say the store timing to be 11.30 but it does not opens before 12.45 PM. So plan accordingly.

Vinyl Records are priced at Rs 100 while LP records were available for 20-30 bucks. The small talk with the uncle selling them was quite interesting and on when asked for Beatles records he answered, "if you have one please get me, I would pay you Rs 50k".

They undertake repair services for gramophones also. On one of the discussions, he suggested to clean old records with kerosene oil for "immense pleasure".

I will suggest one to stop and eat the yummy breakfast at the Coffee house at Cubbonpet.

No Amazon-style platform. Why? Innovation Isn’t Accidental—It’s Engineered The Zerodha Daily Brief recently asked why India hasn’t built a global product company like Apple. The key argument: India isn’t building for the world. It’s solving for local constraints, scale, and affordability—but global scale requires deep IP, design, and tech differentiation. It’s not just about software, it’s about systems thinking. More importantly, it answers the question: Why do countries innovate? The answer isn’t just genius or ambition—it’s incentives and ecosystems. The U.S. Defense Department, for example, accounted for nearly 70% of federal R&D funding during the Cold War. China has pumped billions into semiconductors and AI with long-term national alignment. These aren’t short-term bets—they are strategic, delibe...

Problems with mysql.sock

Sometimes while working on Linux, mysql.sock may get deleted by mistake due to some softwares.. in such cases any access to mysql wont be possible as the sock file defines the socket connection for mysql. It will give an error of the following type: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) In such cases follow these steps to reconfigure mysql: Delete the log files with the names: ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1 and ibdata1 in the /var/lib/mysql directory Then type: "mysqld_safe --user=mysql &" This will automatically create mysql.sock file and even the new logs files. This is a very simple solution which I used recently and decided to share with you people.
