  • From Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: Muslims themselves are Victims of Terrorism - Sufi M K Chishty

    Ironically, the only people who understand and expose this double-talk by ‘peaceful’ community seem to be religious bigots from other side as Ray’s post has clearly illustrated above. It’s a sad thing that the real progressives have to find support in people like Ray who see right things for wrong reasons!! In a way, this also represents a real, tragic failure on the part of secular, liberal groups. These groups are supposed to fight for liberal, progressive, secular values. Instead, they are being totally bullied by ‘peaceful’ community into tolerating their intolerance!! If you don’t trust me, here is a simple question to all of you – Tell me one journalist who wrote a critical piece on recent Cartoon controversy and published those cartoons? Good luck finding a name!! LOL

  • From Original R.Pai on Bhatkal: Officials reclaim Government land, demolish houses

    As usual, one specific community, notoriously known for playing victim, is trying to blame govt for doing their job!! I remember a similar case a year ago where Govt land was systematically encroached and illegal houses were built by a specific community. Why do they always demand special treatment from Europe to Bhatkala ? Also, this report should help joker Praveena Pinto. See how they demolished illegal structures in a very open, transparent fashion in the presence of public, police and media. This is how people behave when they have nothing to hide. This is very different from our ‘social workers’ who demolished a house and went hiding for several weeks!! LOL LOL LOL

  • From shaiKH mOHd rizwaan on Bhatkal: Officials reclaim Government land, demolish houses

    Dear readers, By looking at the pictures it was systematically targeted at one community to make them economically viable.If the construction was illegal without any proper documentation, why the authorities not served a “Stay order”? How does gram panchayat not aware of the so called illegal construction which they waited once it is fully completed? It seems Israeli colonisation is evident in terms of India’s own version under BJP central rule is started specifically targeting minority dominated area. Another reality from the ‘Gujarat Model’; Ahmedabad : Why Muslim areas on the target in demolition drive? http://muslimmirror.com/eng/ahmedabad-why-muslim-areas-on-the-target-in-demolition-drive/ As an example for the racist approach Modi’s govt plan to build Israeli style Hindu township in Kashmir, decades after Godhra carnage the victims of riots are still living in the ghettos of camps. While he was to assure the world body on pluralism, Modi’s “hum paanch, hamare pachees” reference from a 2002 election speech is more defining of his attitude to Muslims than anything concrete he may have done from the community after his election.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: To Lepers, with Love! St Joseph Leprosy Hospital at FMCI Completes 125 Yrs of Dedicated Service

    Thank you, dear Alfie, for your informative article on the Leprosy Asylum of Fr. Muller’s Hospital which is an inspiring gift of charity from the Christians of Mangalore 125 years ago. The Jesuit priests, six in number, that came to Mangalore during the 19th century had a foresight on their charitable mission for the cause of needy in Mangalore. They also expanded their thoughts towards Education. Therefore they went to the Light House Hill for Education and they went to Kankanady for their Medication. Then they went to Jeppoo for their Religious movement. They bought some of the prime properties of Mangalore and make our town so rich in heritage added with discipline. Then came the Missionary nuns such as Sisters of Charity, Carmelites and A.C. order to help the Jesuits. All of these activities were carried out thru the blessings of the Bishop and the Diocese. Leprosy Asylum in Mangalore is a noteworthy Instittute. Dr. Lorsab and also Dr. Coelho have dedicated great deal of their time and effort for this noble cause. We have frequently visited the Leprosy Asylum many many times, including the Xmas midnight Mass. The Leprosy choir was the best in town then, and so also the nativity Crib that they displayed including the home made Chinese lanterns with candles. I met Blessed Mother Theresa for the first time at the Leprosy Asylum at Kankanady where Dr. Venkat Rao garlanded the saintly lady when we all knelt down and watched the glorious occasion. Our sister, Sr. Joan lived few yerds from the Leprosy Asylum from where she did her Graduate studies. Long live the name of Fr. Mullers who had a vision and also a love for Mangalore. Jesuits knew their way into the heart of Mangalore, and focus on Leprosy research and treatment was their specialty. The nuns from the Sisters of Charity were more than the “Gift of Angels” in our home town that made the place into a modern City of today

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Riyadh: Aangann Kutam celebrates Pask Porob

    Great job, “Aangan Kutam” for a wonderful performance in commemoration of the feast of Easter. We have come a long way in Saudi Arabia in organizing such gatherings with religious festivities. Keep up the good work. Let the community enjoy all the benefits that your host government renders you under all the prevailing circumstances. Whatever you do, particularly in Saudi Arabia, do it in moderation. Maintain a low profile. You do not have to even mention “Pask Porob” as this can be construed in different ways by the authorities. “Moderation” is the key. The more low profile you display, the more successful you will be. Best of luck.

  • From B. N. Pai on Bengaluru: Made mistakes but BJP will return to Karnataka: Former CM Sadananda Gowda 

    Former CM Sadananda Gowda claims BJP made mistakes INDULGENCE IN CORRUPTION BY JAILED YEDDYURAPPA AND HIS ENTIRE MINISTRY, IN MINING MAFIA BY REDDY BROTHERS AND THEIR FOSTER MOTHER SUSHMA SWARAJ, IN SEX SCAMS BY HIS MINISTERS, ETC IN KARNATAKA IS “JUST MISTAKE”! BUT MISTAKES BY EX-PRIME MINISTER MANMOHAN SINGH IS CORRUPTION!! THE DIFFERENCE IS EVIDENT. ANY MISTAKE, IF COMMITTED BY CONGRESS IS “CORRUPTION” AND ANY CORRUPTION AND SCAMS INDULGED IN BY BJP AND RSS IS “MISTAKE”. This is the difference between the Oxford Dictionary and the RSS dictionary! PEOPLE BELIEVED RSS AND ACCEPTED THEM. MANY TIMES PEOPLE END UP IN UNSURMOUNTABLE PROBLEMS BY MISPLACED LOYALTIES TO STRANGERS AND SUFFER UNBEARABLE REMORSE FOR PREJUDICED DECISIONS REGARDING KNOWN LESSER EVILS. AS PROPOUNDED BY POLITICAL SCIENCE, DEMOCRACY IS NOT THE BEST MODE OF GOVERNANCE, BUT IS THE LEAST HARMFUL. IT IS ACCEPTED NOT FOR EFFICIENCY, BUT FOR LESSER HARM AND EVIL. A BENEVOLENT DICTATOR COULD BE A BOON, BUT YOU CAN NOT REMOVE HIM IF HE IS A RUTHLESSLY WICKED RULER. UNFORTUNATELY, NOW WE HAVE PUT OUR LOT WITH THE FASCIST AND RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST RSS. THEY HAVE NO REMORSE FOR POST GODHRA CARNAGE AND POST AYODHYA DEMOLITION OF DISPUTED BUILDING, PENDING ADJUDICATION BEFORE THE COURT OF LAW. THEY HAVE LEAST RESPECT FOR JUDICIARY AND DEMOCRACY. THEY PRESS FOR PROHIBITION OF BEEF FOR HINDU VOTE BANK IN HINDU MAJORITY STATES AND ALLOW FREE PRODUCTION AND SALE OF BEEF IN PLACES LIKE GOA AND MEGHALAYA, WHERE THE MINORITY HAS THE DECISIVE VOTE BANK! EVIDENTLY BEEF IS A TOOL AND NOT AN ARTICLE OF FAITH OR RELIGION FOR RSS.

    • From A. S. Mathew on Bengaluru: Made mistakes but BJP will return to Karnataka: Former CM Sadananda Gowda 

      Mr. B.N. Pai: Most of the politicians have a different psychology than the common people. The politicians will never forget their political enemies and driven by sleepless nights looking to get an appropriate time and opportunity to retaliate without any mercy. On the other hand, they are under a false notion and pretense that the hidden roles they have played to create death and bloodshed are bygone chapters and buried under the Pacific ocean. Two places you have mentioned will rise up again to question the hidden actors in due time; because history tells that open reality repeatedly. As you have clearly stated, the “beef” is now used as the best political weapon by the BJP and her sister parties, not for any solid religious principle, thus pushing thousands of people into unemployment, poverty and hunger.

Please understand that the BJP is marching in the same format like the old time world communism; the idol worship of some people, now an exclusive Gujarathi club led by Amith Shaw. Your education and personality should not be wasted. An humble request.

  • From Mango Man on Easter – The Resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ

    For the sake of interest when I checked Wikipedia – following information is how muslims believe about Jesus’s last days. “Just before Allah raised Jesus to the Heavens, Jesus went to his disciples, who were twelve inside the house. When he arrived, his hair was dripping with water (as if he had just had a bath) and he said, ‘There are those among you who will disbelieve in me twelve times after you had believed in me.’ He then asked, ‘Who among you will volunteer for his appearance to be transformed into mine, and be killed in my place. Whoever volunteers for that, he will be with me (in Paradise).’ One of the youngest ones among them volunteered, but Jesus asked him to sit down. Jesus asked again for a volunteer, and the same young man volunteered and Jesus asked him to sit down again. Then the young man volunteered a third time and Jesus said, ‘You will be that man,’ and the resemblance of Jesus was cast over that man while Jesus ascended to Heaven from a hole in the roof of the house. When the Jews came looking for Jesus, they found that young man and crucified him”

  • From Nelson Lewis on Kolkata: 'Those Blaming Anushka for World Cup Exit should be Ashamed' - Virat Kohli

    The problem with Virat Kohli is that he is a hot headed fellow. Before India won the World Cup in July 1983, cricketers did not make money worth the name. However, today the scenario has completely chjanged. Today’s hectic cricket, money, fame, sponsorships, etc. have propelled the fortunes of cricketers many of whom, today, come from humble backgrounds and overnight they are millionaires and they totally lose their moorings with their countrymen and have exaggerated importance of themselves and consider that they are some special breeds. I am aware that Virat Kohli’s father was a criminal lawyer, but I wonder they had this much money that he is raking in today. With this money at their disposal, they behave as if they are some rich nationals from those countries that by virtue of being leading economies enjoy very high per capita incomes. The fact of the matter is that majority of Indians are poor and live in abject poverty and cricketers playing for India should thank their lot for the nation’s madness and rave for vrticket that has made them wealthy. In fact, besides playing cricket, they should do some charity work. However, irrespective of their origins and background, they have fascinations for fancy, top-of-the-range cars, motor-bikes, fire arms and all trappings of wealth. They want girl-friends who are film stars, models, fashion designers (and what not). They just do not understand that the more high profile, liberated and famous one’s girl friend is, then the chances of divorce after marrige are very high. I do not understand why should Virat Kohli make a fuss about the comments made by the media on his performace during the semi-final match against Australia and they blamed it due to the presence of his girl friend in Australia during the world cup? He had problems in Australia over an incidence there and now this. The media has learnt about his weakness and they will take full advantage of it and badger him on some pretext or the other all throughout his career. Moreover, as he is the captain of the test team, he should learn to be cool and level-headed like Mahendra Singh Dhobi, otherwise not only his captaincy will be taken away from him and he may not find a place in the team. Then, the only option for him would be a career in acting – should be get an opportunity.

  • From Vinayak on Bhatkal: Officials reclaim Government land, demolish houses

    Just wondering if the local authorities had given them the license to build the houses. If yes, then the AC should first target the authority who gave them the permit to build the houses. No matter which caste or religion the people are from. For a human owning a house is also a dream and its not easy to make this dream come true. One works hard all his life and by a small saving over the period he/she has done, they tend to move and build a house which they call “heaven”. Its a pity to see that houses are demolised and all the hardship of a human have gone down the drain. I can only pray in god to give strength to these people and get re-settled in their lives once again.

  • From Max E Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Solemn Eucharistic Celebrations to Mark 125 Years of ' St Joseph Leprosy Hospital' at FMCH

    Thank you, Alfie, for your nice write up, as usual, on Fr. Muller’s Hospital named as St. Joseph Leprosy Hospital who is celebrating 125 years of their establishment. Leprosy Asylum and the dedication of the Jesuits in and around Mangalore from the 19th Century has been a landmark of history of Christian contribution towards Mangalore. Leprosy Asylum has always been the corner stone of Fr. Muller’s where they not only created a safe haven for the Lepers but also researched on the Leprosy disease and gave the patients a hope of cure and comfort. Dr. Lorsab and also Dr. Coelho have dedicated a great deal for the lepers. Leprosy Asylum also had a wonderful chapel for worship. Their liturgical services for Xmas midnight were excellently organized with the best choir in town. Their Xmas crib well decorated with the home made Chinese lanterns are still remembered. Every time I learn about Fr. Mullers and also the Leprosy Asylum there is a special kind of electrifying feeling within me because both the places have been always dear to our family. This is the place I met Blessed Mother Theresa for the first time where late Dr. Venkat Rao greeted with garlands and rituals while we all knelt and prayed for God’s mercy for our beloved home town. The best blessing of Fr. Mullers was the “Gift of Angels” that were bestowed upon us thru the presence of the nuns of Sisters of Charity who have perfected the place with lot of good charity and hospital efficiency. When I see Dr. Olinda Pereira in the picture it reminds me of my sister, Sr. Joan who lived only about fifty yards from the Leoprosy Asylum from where she carried out her Education. When I see Fr. Denzil itt reminds me where the Jesuits laid their foundation stone at the Light House Hill. When I see Fr. Santosh it reminds me how the Jesuits moved to Jeppoo and established the Seminary as well as the workshop. These are all the prime properties of Mangalore where the Jesuits came to our noble town in the 19th century and created a monumental success for the people of regardless of their faith or backgrounds. Fr. Mullers is an exemplary place where Fr. Mullers came up with the Homeopathic medicine where the entire complex has become an ideal place for medicine and treatment. Thank you, Fr. Mullers for all your dedication towards Mangalore.

  • From Roy on Easter – The Resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ

    Why do you think there is no peace in the world? Is it due to minority religions? -Drona. Sir, your comments are highly inappropriate here, considering how a tiny minority in your own religion belonging to upper caste treats those who are lower in hierarchy. Perhaps a soul searching before castigating others might be a great help. Are you not aware what upper castes and RSS calls those who eat non-vegetarian food. Are you still looking for answers when you very well know how Daliths are treated and called by names worse than pagan. Please spare us from your condescension.

  • From Jay on Mangaluru: Muslims themselves are Victims of Terrorism - Sufi M K Chishty

    “1,400 years ago, Prophet Mohammed clearly spoke about Islam in Quran and Hadees but some pervert people corrupted Islam and misled, misread and misinterpreted” said Gujarat BJP Minority Morcha state president and head of Gujarat Haj committer M.K. Chishty. Let’s say we agree with you that Islam is a peaceful religion, but we have questions and I hope to have answers. 1. It appears you are referring to Muslims who are misunderstanding and misleading your religion. But how is that possible that apparently clear instructions from a divine source (which should have been flawless) is being misread, misinterpreted and worse a divine message gets corrupted by an ordinary man? The Holy book – The book says do good and they are doing bad? Let’s accept there is a misunderstanding among Muslims, could you kindly quote the chapters and verses which are good but are being misinterpreted. This is very, very important and we all need to know. 2. Again, let’s say people are misunderstanding, and these numbers are growing larger that every country with a sizeable Muslim presence has heavily armed Muslim Groups committing acts of terror. In this electronic age we also see and hear many Muslims making videos of their martyrdom operations and again quoting from the same ‘holy’ books and stating that this is how they understand they should be governing themselves? So, for 1400 years with so much of misinterpretation no one is being schooled into what is the “real” Islam? 3. Why don’t we see Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, Jews & Christians going on a rampage after they start reading and practising from their Holy books, quoting scripture as the reason for their actions? 4. We don`t see heads of Islamic Countries, The Grand Mufti’s of Al Azhar, The head of the Grand Mosques in Saudi, All 55 members of the OIC condemn these actions from the pulpits of mosques and challenge the actions of these misguided people and invite them to dialogue broadcast live publicly explaining to those misguided people that they are wrong, wrong, wrong. Instead of talking to local media M.K Chishty and his ilk should be jetting to Islamic strongholds around the world and having discussions with leaders from The Islamic State, Boko Haram, Hamas, Al Qayeda, The Houtheis, Hezboallah (The Party of Allah), Jaish-e-Mohammad, Hezb-o-Tahrir just to name a few of the several armed groups. Please don`t quote verses that have been abrogated as they DO NOT count, and If you are quoting chapter 5 verse 33, then quote the whole verse without leaving anything out any thing, and also quote verse 5:34. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck – THEN It IS A DUCK, DON’T HOODWINK ME INTO BELIEVING IT IS A HEN.

    Jo jaa raha hai woh shareer hai is the famous dialogue from the movie Anand. Maut toh sirf shareer ko aati hai. Atama nahin marti. That’s what we believe in Hinduism. Material body is left by the atma after it gets old and sick or damaged beyond any repair. Christians believe in resurrection. Their faith and belief is so strong that they may at times go over board with their enthusiasm and end up criticizing other religions as Pagan.This leads to conflict invariably. Why do you think there is no peace in the world? Is it due to minority religions?

Now, are we right in saying that Mother Theresa is/was a savior for Indians ?. We have to put our heads in shame looking at Mother Theresa who came all the way from Albania or Macedonia to serve Indian poor. Fr. Muller’s is a Great Institute one has to visit to see the difference. It is very hurting that how on earth we can hurt Christians’ feelings in India and around the World ?

    Dear Sharia Pandita, Your post makes no sense. Why are you bringing up Goa, BJP, RSS, Modi, Jains, aghori and every other thing into this discussion when my comments are purely on a dress code that hides your identity ? Remember – this dress code comes from those backward, tribal areas where men used this as a tool to hide the identity of their women. The ONLY purpose behind this dress was to hide identity of women from other ‘kaamanna’ tribal folks. LOL Answer the following questions: – Why are people from only one community caught in Mangaluru Vimaana Nildaana ? – How many more black flags have you added to your personal collection ? – Why is your tribal kingdom of Saudi Arabia acting very tough on Houthi rebels of Yemen while showing a very sympathetic stand on ISIS and other sunny terrorists ?

  • From A. S. Mathew on Easter – The Resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ

    While Dr. Billy Graham was riding with his host the Catholic Bishop Vladimar in Russia, Dr. Graham asked him whether the focusing of the message should have any change. After a brief pause, the Bishop responded ” emphasis the resurrection of JESUS CHRIST. His virgin birth by the word itself a miracle and unique event never happened in history; but we see the next unique event, HE is risen from the grave, and HIS grave is empty. The sight of the empty grave has miracle working power. I didn’t know, how to define my brother in-law’s religion. His talk was totally focused on money; on the other hand, he won’t believe a thing without seeing and touching. Is it belief? Believing without seeing is belief and JESUS has categorized them as blessed. Talking about GOD or spiritual issues were too hard for me with my dear brother in-law. He went to Israel for a fun visit, visited the places JESUS walked, and finally visited the grave of JESUS. When I met him after the Holy Land visit, I didn’t ask him anything, indeed was apprehensive that he would contradict the things he has seen there as mere myth. But, to my surprise, the former tight lipped brother in-law began to deliver a long sermon of his visit; said he is a believer in JESUS CHRIST since visiting the Holy Land, especially the empty grave. THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD JESUS MAKES THE TOTAL DIFFERENCE.

    A bit too late for the Indian government to recognize this great man but nevertheless well deserved! The entire family has been doing a great job of providing religious service, education, and charitable services for decades and yet have been humble and honest throughout – a rare virtue in India today.

    • From Alban D' Souza on Easter – The Resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ

      Dear Fr. Richard. Wish you a happy and blessed Easter. First of all thank u for your compliments and encouragement. I could recall the great fruitful ministry you rendered in Udyavar Parish for 7 long years.Actually I like the word “Evengelisztion” . When Jesus appoints His disciples and priests for evengelizaion He also gives authority to every Christian for this great task. So we are grateful to God for this. This is my belief. So Every Christian has to understand this and live by life and deed. As we are humans difficult but of course Jesus knows the weekness and he will fill us in the Holy Spirit as the same in His life. So every Christian can avoid the sinful nature through the Holy Spirit. We thank God for giving us good priests. Actually I am not a big writer but I have that background inherited from my parents and forefathers and parish priests of course, and thank all of them for grooming the great faith on Christian belief. They are God fearing and devotional. So I just wanted to give the same message to todays youth so that they could build up their future life on this faith on a solid foundation which gives meaning to their life. Secondly Fr. Yes our family now shifted from Udyavara to Bajjodi by God’s grace. You are welcome at any time Fr. to our new residence over there. By God’s grace I am working at present in Doha Qatar moved from Dubai few years back. I feel this is the inspiration from God. Please pray for me. I do. Thank u once again.

    While the younger members wait for ‘paaluvation’ of the property, the old folk wait for palliation. It is important to maintain the dignity of the elders so that they can enjoy the remaining lives peacefully. Loss of control and dignity can be very damaging and should be avoided.

    • From Nelson Lewis on Mangaluru: A 'Veiled' Attempt at Theft - Man Disguised as Woman Arrested at Ullal Darga

      Regarding this incident of a man dressed in a traditional muslim lady’s attire, who was caught in the act of stealing and roughed up and handed over to the police, an incident came to my mind. Years ago, I was sorking in a construction company in Bahrain and one evening while quitting for the day (from our office compound, where we were located in a predominantly Shia area and, thertefore, quite restive in the 1990s), while we had gone out and reached the side lane to turn to the main road, we were surprised to see from our vehicle someone in a burqah and veil sitting on the ground by the kerbside. This was a very rare and unusual spectacle for us and one of us said, “Why is a lady sitting in burqah and veil on the footpath? She must be quite bold to sit in such a manner against the traditions of their community?” The next day we realised that this person was not a lady, but a man, who hurled a Molotov cocktail at our Administration Manager’s car, while he was retiring for the evening and driving out. Fortunately, he escaped and was safe and sound. In Bahrain, there are many Pakistanis who clamour to become Bahrainis, as they do not want to go and settle down in Pakistan, because that country is amongst the ten most lawless countries in the world and there is no guarantee of what will happen to anyone. Many such people are in the police or retired from the police (and have been staying in Bahrain with their families). One Pakistani young lady joined the company. My colleagues told me that she is coming to work in traditional attire and refuses to wear uniform. So, I asked my colleagues to call her so that I could talk to her and convince her to wear uniform. When she came and talked to me, she flatly refused to wear uniform and said that she will be wearing her traditional attire. I told her that if she is not willing to comply with the company’s policies and procedures and rules and regulations, then there is no way out. She said that in that case, she will quit working immediately. I said fine and she left. There were one are two interestong cases with doctors from a country in utter turmoil, but then let us leave it for some other day. Finally, what I wish to say is that however religious, convervative or traditional one is, that should be in the confines of one’s home and the place of worship. Outside, especially when it comes to one’s bread-and-butter, one should not put one’s blinkers on, be stubborn as a mule and shoot one’s foot. As simple as that.

  • From A. Sundar Shetty on Bengaluru: Supreme Court's Former Judge Justice K Jagannatha Shetty (78) No More

    My heartfelt condolences to Hemakka, Parineeta, and Babitha on the loss of dear husband to Hemakka, loving and caring father to Parineeta And Babitha and adoring grandpa to his grandchildren. Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this difficult time. Justice Jagannathanna lived a simple life after his retirement from the Supreme Court shying away from all the glamour that is normally associated with past retirees. I don’t think he was bestowed with the honor of “Prominent St. Aloysian” although he attended the college and distinguished himself as a student and rose to prominent position which only handful of Aloysians did. He was a epitome of honesty and integrity that is rarely seen nowadays. May his soul rest in peace and his family find solace cherishing beautiful memories of the past.

  • From Prakash on In the Land of Coconut Trees

    While the sentiment expressed by the author of this article is indeed valid, we also need to remember that each individual is also entitled to a window to look out of. Sadly the land in cities is limited and the fact that most peoples livelihood and access to civic services depends on their ability to reside in the proximity of a city makes such a situation impossible to avoid. So while we may lose our soothing views of the countryside, let us also understand that our loss is only as a result of someone being able to achieve their goal of owning their own window to look out of.

    Thanks for the thought provoking article. First pic reminds me of my beloved Mangalore. Today’s pic is still OK. But several years from now, we would see fewer trees. This is the price we pay for progress. I am really sad to see this happen. But that’s the reality. I never be able to judge people who altered the landscape, sadly it happens. I wish places like Mangalore (which is culturally vibrant and mature) could designate open spaces – this will never happen. but, one can only hope. I left Mangalore many many moons ago, But, Mangalore never left me. I am sure many folks in the similar situation feels the s same about Mangalore.

    Well written Dr. Ahmed. It is sad to see that many coconut trees have been removed to make room for high rise buildings. I wish more people in India understood the value of preservation. The original house (Dove Cottage) of the great poet William Wordsworth that stands in Grasmere (lake District) is a great place to visit. It still looks like how it was during the 19th century. The entire Lake District has been so well conserved. The daffodil fields are also close to his house. See the link below: http://www.thequirkytraveller.com/2013/04/lake-district-daffodils-in-spring/

  • From Anand Dsilva on In the Land of Coconut Trees

    Coconut trees, coconut juice is part of our culture. In the olden days everybody owned houses and each house was surrounded by coconut trees. Most of the houses in the olden days and few even now seem like it is deep inside the woods surrounded by coconut trees. The problem is we humans are supposed to do something. If we sit idle we are considered lazy. Mostly we are judged by how much we earn no matter what and how. Since India’s population is expanding fast, for builders and others who want to make a quick buck ‘coconut trees’ looks like ‘Rupeeeeeessss’. Why not cut it down and convert into flats after all how much money a coconut tree can fetch by the number of coconuts it can produce compared to lakhs it can earn if the land is levelled. Somewhere I read that until we sell the last leaf remaining of the plant on the planet for money only after that we will realize the value of plants. Coconut trees is ingrained in our culture and only way we hope is the future generation will be more sensible to preserve it.

The Hindu Mahasabha, in an editorial in its weekly publication Hindu Sabha Varta, has challenged Shahrukh, Aamir and Saif to convert to Hinduism if they really love their wives, according to The Hindu. YES! IF THEY ARE BJP LEADERS, HINDU MAHASABHA OF VEER SAVARKAR, THE FATHER OF JANA SANGH AND BJP, HAS THE RIGHT TO PARDON AND EVEN HAIL THE LOVE JEHADIS ! THEREFORE, THEY DO NOT DEMAND THAT THE BJP LEADER, MUKHTAR ABBAS NAQVI, AND HIS HINDU WIFE SEEMA – CONVERTED TO ISLAM AS A VICTIM OF LOVE JEHAD, SHOULD BECOME HINDUS TO PROVE THEIR LOVE TO BE TRUE. FOR THE VERY SAME REASON, THEY DO NOT DEMAND THAT THE BJP LEADER, SHAHNAWAZ AND HIS HINDU WIFE – CONVERTED TO ISLAM, RENU SHARMA, SHOULD BECOME HINDUS TO PROVE THEIR LOVE TO BE TRUE. THEY DO NOT ASK Suhasini Haidar, daughter of Subramanian Swamy TO BECOME HINDUS TO PROVE THEIR LOVE TO BE TRUE! The late BJP vice president and former governor of Kerala, Sikander Bakht, also had married a Hindu woman, Raj Sharma. IN SHORT, RSS AND BJP LEADERS CAN BE LOVE JIHADIS AND THEY ARE LICENSED TO CONVERT HINDUS TO ISLAM, AS THEY RSS IS AUTHORISED TO PERMIT LOVE JEHAD.

  • From Richard on Mangaluru: MLA J R Lobo Inaugurates 'Great Lions Reverse Show and Two Wheeler Slow Race'

    IN DUBAI, PEOPLE STRICTLY FOLLOW THE RULES WHILE DRIVING, Confirms. Ln Manjunath Murthy. Yes, and this is a fact. BUT, most citizens and expats, if not all, do so , because laws and regulations in Dubai are strictly implemented and enforced, and fines and punishments are pretty high and harsh. Irresponsible drivers, Driving Under the Influence, etc., are found in all countries from Uganda to USA, but comparing Dubai’s laws and regulations to Indian laws and it’s strict implementation is truly absurd. One fine example to this argument is the classic case of Actor Salman Khan, who is charged with man slaughter, and even after 12 years, he simply states that he was not the guy driving!!! In Dubai too accidents do happen on a daily basis, and are fairly common as in any country- always due to human error or human arrogance – as most vehicles are in good technical condition, as they have to undergo stringent technical tests and passing every year by the authority, and must be technically fit to be on the road and Moreover, Dubai Govt. spends a lot of money in ensuring it stays a hyper city with good infrastructure such as the best roads in the world, traffic lights, flyovers, good respect for pedestrians with pavements, and walkovers, etc.. Sadly, India or Mangalore have not yet reached such high standards or norms in roads infrastructure or in implementing the civil and traffic laws laid down. The day the traffic cops put their foot down and there is no interference by any politician, etc., people in India too will automatically strictly obey the laws and regulations laid down. In Mangalore and Udupi – the Traffic Dept. must strictly act on: Driving on the wrong side, Not wearing headgear whilst driving a 2-wheeler, 3 people on a 2-wheeler, not observing speed limits, overloading of public buses run by private operators, provision of pedestrian crossings and pavements, and most of all making provisions for proper roads and road markings (like lanes, pedestrian crossings, marking speed breakers, etc., keeping an eye on bad and corrupt traffic cops, etc.

One solution may be to ban the production or import of horns exceeding certain decibels and at the same time forcing the removal of horns that exceed the specified decibels as and when vehicles are pulled over by the police. The police would need a device to measure the intensity of the horns.

  • From Sas on Udupi: If Central Government has failed to locate Rahul Gandhi, how can they Lead the Nation: Oscar

    Why should BJP bother to spend tax payers’ money to locate Rahul Gandhi? According to Oscar, if you cannot locate Rahul’s whereabouts, you are unfit to govern the country. What kind of immature statement is this coming from a prominent Congress leader! Rahul is important to only to his party and it is for them to find out where he is.

  • From B. N. Pai on Opposition should find Rahul, not flaws in BJP: Shah

    Opposition should find Rahul, not flaws in BJP: Shah. Rahul Gandhi has informed the Speaker of the Lok Sabha that he would go on leave. Congress Vice President is not absconding as the mean people in the BJP would like to make him out look to be. Amit Shah and Modi must worry if their Vice President and “jailed for corruption” accused, Yeddyurappa is absconding. Even if Shobha Karandlaje of Cfee Estate infamy is missing, they must worry! Congress is not mean like the BJP to make jailed accused like Yeddi its Vice President. Congress is not mean like the BJP to make a “Love Jihadi” person and a convict like Union Minister of State for Parliamentary and Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, a minister in Modi Cabinet. Meanness in politics is the prerogative of the BJP and the RSS and not of Congress!

  • From Roy on Opposition should find Rahul, not flaws in BJP: Shah

    One cannot expect an “……… expert” to understand the function of an opposition party in a democracy. It is frightening that one who is ignorant of the basics of democracy is the leader of a political party.
