  • From Sandhay on Bengaluru maid wants to dream big after scoring 85 percent

    How can media Call her a maid. She worked as a maid. It is wrong to call her as a maid. In western world nearly 80% of the students do part time job to support their expenses. They do all kinds of job, cleaning, sweeping,mopping the floor, including cleaning toilets. No one calls them cleaner or a sweeper. Most of them take student loan. They do not depend on parents for paying uni fee and other expenses, Life long we Indians will call this girl as a maid. Media should learn to respect all types of jobs equally and should not give an impression that one job is greater than another…

  • From Henry James on Udupi: State Govt Playing with Future of SSLC, PUC Students - D V Sadananda Gowda

    Karnataka education board with their blunders in question papers and the subsequent grace mark solution has ruined the reputation of the state. High time the board is re-structured with stringent rules and buck-stopping accountability. Only when the heads roll at the top, do we see any change in the system. If there were erroneous questions amounting to 15 marks, instead of granting 15 grace marks to all exam takers, they could disregard those error questions altogether and evaluate the paper against a total of 85 marks and then convert it to percentage. That would be a relatively fair system to the honest students. I would like too call it “Duckworth-Lewis” of SSLC.

  • From Mangal on Mangaluru: Got Patience! For it will be a 'Long Wait' to get your Job done at Local Passport Office

    Great article. Author has mentioned the name of Mr Ivan D’Souza as someone who could help in the matter. Politicians make many claims and we believe them. But I doubt if Mr D’Souza is useful in the case of Passport service. Passport service is provided by the Central Government. So, if I am not mistaken, the state government can have almost no influence on how the service is provided. This is the kind of tussle that is currently going in Delhi between Kejriwal and the Central Government. I think a Central MP can perhaps do something when it comes to Passports, but not a State MLA/MLC. So, do not waste time in making requests to a State MLA/MLC for improvement in Passport service.

    Now you know why tipping helps. It is not called bribing. It’s another way of saying “Job well done!” It’s called smart way of getting the job done right with a smile on the face. If you want a job done well and fast don’t you have to pay more? What’s wrong in tipping a low paid, overworked wage earner, especially when the basic needs are not met? Both are happy.

    My mother went through a similar situation last year when she had to get her passport renewed. She had an appointment at around 11 or 12 and by the time she was through it was 7:30pm. But she also noticed some people were given preferences without the need to have to wait at all. She believed they maybe people with connections. Will this situation ever improve?

      Jay:Is shocked at the double standards practiced by Saudi People! What about we, Indians, condemning love jehad by all others, except by people RSS wants to be exempted? Example: 1. The Minister in Vajpayee cabinet and now in Modi cabinet, Mukhtar Abbas Naqui’s wife was a Hindu girl by name Seema. He forcibly converted her to Islam. Example 2. Minister in Vajpayee’s cabinet and a prominent Muslim leader of the BJP, Mr. Shahnavaz Hussain married a Brahmin girl, Renu Sharma, after converting her to Islam! Example 3. Late Mr. Sikanda Bakth, BJP Vice president and Vajpayee appointed Governor of Kerala too was a “Love Jehaadee”, who married a Hindu girl after converting her to Islaam. RSS HAS HONOURED ONLY LOVE JEHADEES AS MINISTERS IN THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT AND NOT ANY OTHER SIMPLE AND GOOD INDIAN MUSLIM. IS THIS NOT DOUBLE STANDARD BY RSS AND BJP? WHY THE RSS IS SILENT ABOUT SUHASINI HAIDAR, DAUGHTER OF RSS LEADER, SUBRAMANYA SWAMI?

  • From Anand Dsilva on Mangaluru: Got Patience! For it will be a 'Long Wait' to get your Job done at Local Passport Office

    Alfie, I don’t know how you can write on vast topics that catch the attention of readers like me. I cant help but leave a comment every time. About 3 years back when coming on vacation a immigration officer pointed that my PP is damaged and I need to get a replacement. This was updated in their system when coming to India and there was no way I could go back until I renewed the PP. Since there is a PP office in Mangalore I thought it may not be a problem. One thing is that most problems can get resolved in the PP office instead of relying on the H.O. in Bangalore. Bad thing is the system or mechanism that is in place. I saw lot of people lined up outside typing centres to get an appointment. It has to be online. For those who do not know to operate computers have to rely on these centres. Secondly the system inside the PP office is quite good but in case if you want to enquire something there is no information desk but you have to rely on a small window outside on the right side of the building. So when you have modern facilities to come and sit inside this window where people have to bend and wait and ask questions again seems we are back in the 70s. Computer appointments and Window information cannot go hand in hand. The practice of window answering must be put to an end as it is uncivilized and there should be separate customer service room where people can come inside and resolve their issues face to face. I was forced to go to Bangalore and the situation there is actually much worse than Mangalore. Once you address a problem on a sheet of paper you are allowed inside. There are about 10 counters to inquire about your problem and trust me these 10 counters send all the people to just one counter where a struggling lady has to address the problem one by one. (it must the opposite actually where one counter must send people to 10 counters). This poor lady was helpful and promised she would sort out the issue in 5 days and kept my papers on her desk but since there was no reply after 2 weeks I was impatient and when I returned there I couldn’t believe that my papers were on her desk the same way I left earlier. Anyway she got it done quickly. I honestly believe to address these issues we do not require interference of politicians as bureaucrats in the respective field must take a lead and address these issues.

    Dear readers, When PM Modi can’t understand the meaning between M-R-S Sirisena and Mrs.Sirisena, what can we expect from this shining government? When we don’t have decent ‘Forensic lab’ to investigate late Mrs. Taroor wife death or Talwars daughter, how does one will ascertain Varha or Gomatha? The majority appeasement law which passed under pretext of agrarian Bovine, is the sole purpose of hitting Muslim minorities economically hard. How does GoMath can be fit for exports but banned for domestic use? Why does it doesn’t become Matha in BJP ruled Goa and rest of its ruling state? Why the ban doesn’t take tall on Hindu Beef exporters but innocents targeted by Go Rakshasks? Jai Hind Jai Hind

They fooled voters by promising 15 lakh by opening 10 crores accounts with zero balance. Only 33% of Modi Bhakathas believed in this story and voted in masses. But less than year later ‘Jumla’ cost them dear in Delhi. The party of difference hanged pictures of former BJP president Bangaru Laxman was caught counting wads of notes and saying “Paisa khuda toh nahi lekin khuda ki kassam khuda se kam bhi nahi” that he had accepted from a Tehelka reporter who was posing as an arms dealer in return for hiring the latter’s company to supply hand-held thermal imagers to the Indian Army.

  • From B. N. Pai on 'Ravi called woman batchmate only once on day of his death'

    Mr. Mango asks, “where is Kumbla” and adds “He had so many theories and grievances about D.K.Ravi.” Yes, what was revealed was about 44 miscalls by Ravi, apart from the received call made by him, which was received only once. As stated by the counterpart and her husband in the court asking the court for giving an order not to reveal the details of investigations about the calls made, the details of the miscalls made was admitted in that case. It was also stated that the counterpart in the call chided saying that she is married having a child and opposing the request to fulfill his desire. She even asked, ” Are you kidding?” Having opposed that suggestion, all subsequent calls were not responded and hence and they all became miscalls! The CBI intentionally avoids about the number of miscalls made by Ravi to her. What makes the CBI to give these partial details, without giving the full details? The CBI is not supposed to give any half baked details at this stage of inquiry, unless it is politically motivated to do so to please their present political bosses! That is why Modi had called CBI as the Congress Bureau of investigation then. The only difference is that it has become the BJP Bureau of Investigation, now.

  • From sas on IAS officer's death, BJP slams 'dirty tricks' of Karna govt

    These dysfunctional ministers are accustomed to loose talks and used to get away with it in the past for lack of media coverage. Their habits are hard to change. Instead, the voting public should get rid-off them as they lack basic training and upbringing needed to think and talk wisely and their irrational and uncultured behavior make them unfit to serve the growing and educated masses of India.

    The whole revelation of the preliminary report sounds like a political press release. No actual sources, but a collective noun of CBI. Surely the matter will go to the court and the details will be provided. But right now it is no more than political point scoring. There is much more to the case than meets the eye.

  • From Anand Dsilva on Since when Pork has Become Beef? Cops Harass Goan Lady for Carrying Pork Sausages

    In any country when a law is based on religious percepts it is subject to abuse by lawmakers and their upholders as and when they like for their personal benefit. For instance, there is a law in Dubai that if you want to drink alcohol even in bars you need to have a permit. People are ignorant and there are plethora of bars where people continue to drink without permit. But, those who want to seek revenge with any person personally can invoke this law and harass his enemy. People do this everywhere and play their cards in order to victimize others. Therefore when a law is made it is essential to determine whether it can be used as a tool to misuse it. I always wondered if beef ban comes into force it can be used by some fanatics to settle some old scores or just to harass the other person to maintain supremacy.

      Dear Anand D’Silva, you observed, “when a law is made, it is essential to determine whether it can be used as a tool to misuse it”. Sir, the law is specifically drafted and crafted to be misused! The beef tallow and lard were used in 1856-57 by the Hindu kings on the one hand and the Mughals and Nawabs on the other to forge Hindu-Muslim unity and wage “Sipoy Mutiny” to fight against the British. Bahadur Shah Zafar as the “Badshah of Hindistan” by the Hindu rulers involved in the mutiny and Bhagawa Dhwaj was Hoisted in the Red. So, beef was a tool to forge Hindu -Muslim unity then! Now, the RSS wants to use the same to divide the Hindus and Muslims to create and to retain the “Hindu Majoritarin vote bank”! When Nehru was the Prime Minister and Gulzarilaal Nanda was the Home Minister of India, a massive rally of “Nanga Sadhus” was staged by the RSS in the streets of Delhi! PERSEVERANCE PAYS, THEY SAY. The is RSS doggedly bent on dividing the Hindus and the minority religions to come to power and to perpetuate it.

    These so-called cops may not be cops at all. Many Gulf passengers have experienced the stopping of buses at some of these locations, and cops/custom officers appearing and playing delaying tactics. At this the driver/conductor also put pressure on the hapless passenger to pay the money. It appears to me that the drivers/conductors of buses get their share of the bribe from the passengers by the fake cops.

  • From Original R.Pai on Udupi: Two years of Congress rule in state is ‘Two Big Zeroes’ - MP Shobha Karandlaje

    “…10 lakh minorities are made jobless due to beef ban” – Sharia Shaikh quoting numbers from a report published by local madrassa!! Dear Shaikh, It’s sad to note that these 10 lakh people know only one skill – how to slaughter innocent cows for naalige chapala!!! I wish educated people like you could help your community focus on better skill set than cow-slaughter and smuggling. Is it to much for your hate-filled mind to comprehend ?

    • From shAikH moHD rizwaan on Udupi: Two years of Congress rule in state is ‘Two Big Zeroes’ - MP Shobha Karandlaje

      how to slaughter innocent cow for naalige chapala!!!-Atheist Mr.Original Sir,The party of difference BJP wooed voter in 2014 general election with the slogan ‘ “Modi ko matdan, gai ko jeevadan [Vote for Modi, give life to the cow], BJP ka sandesh, bachegi gai, bachega desh [BJP’s message, the cow will be saved, the country will be saved].” Modi, the front-runner in the general elections, took a potshot at the ruling coalition (United Progressive Alliance) government for country’s soaring beef exports. We will build ‘cow hostels’ in cities, ‘cow pension’ will keep farmers from selling old animals to slaughterhouses, a ‘cow protection force’ will be mobilised to rescue cows Mayankeshwar Singh, National Convener, Cow Development Cell, BJP Then blamed Congress saying only revolution under the government had been the “pink revolution”. Now U-turn under PM Modi’s noose India secured second in beef exports serving our International customers through Hindu beef exporters. They proved Swami Vivekananda, Sanathana Dharma,mahabharat to appease majority vote bank and deprive minority Muslims economically. The ‘Bunch of thoughts’ of RSS Guruji’s not only diminished hate filled mind to comprehend and also diminished ability to be a human. Jai hind

    Congrats to you dear Father Denis. Good to see that you have touched another milestone in your life span. Out of your life – you have given twenty-five years to God and the service of people. At times you have sacrificed a lot but The Good Lord is never undone in generousity He has been kind to you in many many ways. You had a very successful term in Mangalore Diocese and then you decided to move over to Udupi where as it is felt and understood you are doing a great job as a Parish Priest and a P.R.O. Some say it WITH FLOWERS and some some say it WITH SONG. God has blessed you with musical talent and A VOICE the kind of which few people can boast of. Your homilies are liked and appreciated by all who have the pleasure of listening to you. I join the chorus of many when I say congratulations to you. May Heavenly Alchemist change silver to gold and platinum. God be with you in all that you.

  • From shAikH mOhd rizwan on Udupi: Two years of Congress rule in state is ‘Two Big Zeroes’ - MP Shobha Karandlaje

    Dear readers, As PM Modi lead central is completing anniversary Shobha madam should better present ‘Aache Din’ promises from the BJP manifesto. Rather than taking credit from ‘Mangalyan’ and inaugurating incompleted congress projects rebranding as BJP by our 56 inch PM Saheb we don’t see even ‘Bullet train’ on bilateral agreement with visiting countries. The U-turn sarkar opened 10 crores bank accounts but 15 lakh is not debited to zero balance account. He visited France,Germany but not sure when he will go to Switzerland to bring black money.He went to China din’t resolved border disputes. He says everyday ‘beti bachao,beti padavo’ but more women of India is scared to travel after dusk due to rapes. In Modi’s India “cow” is more safe than women. The criminals are free to walk free with ‘clean chit’ and honest officers are even prosecuted for wearing ‘sunglasses’ Minorities Muslims are still treated as “Kuthe ka batch”(puppy) ever since the government came to power and now 10 lakh minorities are made jobless due to beef ban. Essential commodity ,petroleum products going up and share market diving downwards. Investors are not confidence. Minimum government, Maximum phekugiri is only evident. Jai hind

Our teachers need training to cope up with the new dynamics of education and more importantly they need lot of encouragement and revision in their salaries. Otherwise, we will continue to lose all our good teachers to other private institutions.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Don't need One more Golf Course in City' Protest Bengre Residents

    We are not fully aware of the geographical location and the ramifications attached to creating a Golf Course and the luxury app apartments at Thannirbhavi. But all that we know is that a Golf Course with all the beautiful surroundings have certainly a short term and long benefits for Mangalore. It is not only the beauty towards Tourism but also renders an ideal spot for the young and old men and women to spend some of their quality time at the Golf Course near the sea side and spend their valuable resources in the right investment that brings additional beauty for Mangalore. So long as appropriate provision is made to satisfy some of the grievances of the public and make sure that their basic needs are fulfilled, an additional Golf Course is a project that is legitimate and also economically and socially beneficial for the welfare of Mangalore. Again, we are not sure what exactly that may cause hindrance to many others, because we are far away, but an additional Golf Course is always an added attraction whether it is for Mangalore or even for Bangalore.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: List of Diocesan Transfers and New Appointments Announced

    Thank you, Most Rt.Rev. Bishop Aloysius for your wise leadership in organizing so many new changes in allocating so many priests to different Parishes under the Mangalore Diocese. Lots of burdens and responsibilities that go into these selections and decisions, and God’s help is always the best source of inner guidance. Allocation of suitable personnel in different important assignments is a task that is tough an delicate in any discipline that involves Human Resources. Grooming and training the right priests for the right job at the right Parish is also a difficult and sensitive assignment. Each and every Parish requires timely focus and attention because each Priest is a Special Delegate from God that has to be a good shepherd to whichever Parish he is selected to guide the faithful destiny of the parishonors. In these fast changing difficult times, specially in secular India, the Parish Priests are the best Catholic Ambassadors of the region that they command as Parish Priests. They are the real role models to everyone. May God bless you in every way, and may God bless the Mangalore Diocese. We are anxious to meet Rev. Fr. Clifford Pinto, our Assist at Valencia, and also Fr. Felix Noronha of the Bajpe Shrine during our next visit to Mangalore.

    Freebies have destroyed our society. Because of the freebies these days it is very hard to find causal workers.. Small farmers in our district have suffered serious losses because of the nonavailability of casual workers. Most of the small farmers have stopped to cultivation because of the high cost and nonavailability of casual workers. Freebies will make our society lazy and unproductive.

RSS wants “casual labour cheap” by starving the rural agricultural labourers. RSS wants to ensure that the “lazy and unproductive people” of India must rather die than live on government doles!

He asks me “before calling a person ***ugly***what about you, kindly look at your face in the mirror”. Nelson, why do I need mirror to verify an accepted fact? Yes, I am a proud Congressman. Congress is ugly to you to whom “RSS- Modi is beautiful” By his above comments, Nelson suggests I am “Ugly”. Nelson is a person who said earlier on this forum, “for girls pimple looks more beautiful than a dimple”! This is his admitted caliber. One can make out his sense of beauty and ugliness by his above statement!

            Mr. Nelson Lewis, having commented on Chacha Nehru about Subhas Chandra Bose episode, you were fair enough to admit that Nehru’s name was “being dragged”. That speaks volumes about the guilty intentions of the draggers! Subhas Chandra Bose died in 1945, when the British Empire were ruling the roost in India. Nehru was a non-entity with regards to the death of Bose or the so called INA Treasure in Taiwan or any foreign soil, for well above two more years, till he took control from the Empire. Accuse him to your hearts content, for you are prejudiced!

            Mr. B.N. Pai, I do not mind if anyone is proud Congressman, proud BJP, proud Communist, proud Marxist or anything else for the matter, but he should speak the facts. You are an ardent Congress admirer and will not admit that they have done wrongs since 15.08.1947. What have you to say about the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose controversy that has cropped up, where your Chacha Nehru’s name is being dragged? However, you are a blind supporter of Congress, even when they have been involved in scandals, frauds and other irregularities. Have you ever admitted that Congress has done anything wrong? For you, all the members of the Dynasty are nothing but Gods. As regards the quotation of pimples, you have again misquoted to portray me in poor light to those readers who have not read what I had written in the past. The problem with you is that when you are cornered, you become a pathological liar. I know what I had said and in what context, but you have twisted things. I can just rattle what I have said, because it is a saying that was rattled off many years ago, by an Indian lady at Toastmasters’ International Competition and that lady has migrated to Canada. If you say that you are a proud Congressman, then you have to admit that Krishna is also a proud BJP-man, rather than a mouth piece. In fact, you are Congress’ flunkey and a shameless admirer. Are you trying to imply that being a Congress supporter is acceptable, but being supporter of BJP or any other party is wrong?

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Udupi: Bishop announces first List of Diocesan Transfers and New Appointments

    New appointments, promotions, transfers, special assignments etc., are valuable and important in the Catholic Diocese. The changes enable priests to move along to different areas of the Diocese and interact with new parishoners and share their leaderships and also propagate their faith. In America, the Priests also have a choice and opportunity to express their own desire to move into another Parish, if possible, so that perhaps they can prove themselves better in an environment that is more conducive for them. The Priest has a tremendous responsibility to service the people and make the best that he has so that the Christian faith may further expand by proving his leadership in different areas of the Diocese. The most important thing in this time and age is to make sure that the Priest as well as the people of the Catholic congregation get the best benefits to prove their faith and be a role model to each other. India is a classic example where the Church and the people have lot to dedicate to each other for and beyond our daily faith. A Parish has a great deal to offer to the people in their surroundings in times of mutual needs so that our Christian faith becomes a living example to many others that belong to the secular world.

By the way, one of the latest editions of Times magazine (US edition) has Narendra Modi on its cover page!!! In fact, TIME has very positive things to say about our Pradhaana Sevaka.

If meat tastes good, kill it. If profits are high, blow up the entire mountain and forest!! If coal is cheap, burn it as if there is no tomorrow. Human race seems to writing its own obituary faster than one could imagine!!

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Congratulations on your Silver Ordination Anniversary

    Congratulations to you, dear Fr. Denis, on your completion of TWENTY FIVE YEARS as a priest. You have done a fine job as a priest and also as a Citizen of India. You have prayed for tens of thousands of people during your daily liturgical services, and others also have prayed for you on your dedicated and noble priesthood. We met you first at Sandesha many years ago and we were impressed with your leadership and your talented entrepreneurship. We have seen many of your achievements in the Mangalore Diocese and now we are seeing your wonderful performance at the Udipi Diocese. We have also witnessed your creative performance when Mangalore celebrated centuries of establishment at Nehru Maidhan and there was a beautiful Show on the stage where you were instrumental for the grand display. Thank you for all your dedication towards the priesthood, and may God bless you with continued good health and happiness so that you may shine much more in the Udipi Diocese. We have never heard of a place called “Kunthalanagar”, but if we find time on our next trip to India we shall try and visit you personally and honor you for your successful accomplishment of priesthood for twentyfive glorious years.

    “Novro Jaai Kuwaitacho!” Chedun kitle shiklan? “Byculla ani America Sangatha yethan” People are ambitious, But No body wants to wet their “ahha” to catch fish or while paddy planting. Then we must embrace mechanization. May be we should use remote controlled DONES to drill coconut bunch base. Nothing happens without aspiration! Thanks folks.

  • From sas on Mangaluru: Siddaramaiah's Dream to make Karnataka a Hunger-free State - Ramanath Rai

    You don’t do any justice to the country or your State nor do any justice to the population by handing out freebies and see the poor remain as poor for rest of their lives. Instead, you should be helping the poor and needy to help themselves in getting proper education and decent jobs that would put them out of poverty and the education they get will help them determine the gimmicks of politics and decide on the right candidate to vote for. Taxing the hardworking people and handing out to poor will only help your party in the short run, but destroy the very economic fundamentals and contribute to the retarded growth of the country.

    The needy locals must demand from their children who are earning abroad or in other cities: “My child, don’t come home on vacation, or for marriage, or for any local function, UNLESS you build a toilet, especially for your own use, when at home! “Skip a vacation, drinking, or smoking, and send such money strictly to build a toilet” No marriages in DK homes, unless they build toilets/kakus for their own honeymoon usage!” Nothing happens, unless there is an awareness of the present need. Thanks folks.

  • From Nelson Lewis on An unforgettable character

    “Such persons are pushed in your department, because the management knows, you can train him; motivate him; and you can do his as well you your job within eight hours,” by James Fernandes. Your comments are quite right, if a person has brains, but sadly this person lacked one. People from Philippines used to call him “dumb” and people from his own community used the same word in their language. As he first worked in construction companies, getting employment presumably with the help of a fake certificate, the house he was constructing fell off like a pack of cards while working for one employer and in the second he was in a truck carrying cement, sand, bricks, etc. and that vehicle got involved in an accident and everything was strewn on the road. This was with the second employer. So, due to being incompetent, lacking imagination and versatility, he lost jobs and his father advised him to take up some other profession. Since he was not a marketable commodity, lacking qualifications, skills, etc., he would grab whatever jobs that he got, whether he was able to do it or not. He could not draft memos, letters, forget about preparing reports, policies and procedures, job descriptions, taking down minutes of the meeting, talking to other Indians outside his community or foreigners. I would help and mentor everyone that was directed by superiors or approached me, but not this son-of-a-gun, because he was, though a Class I idiot, try to act sly. He would try to cover up his faults by telling his community people that he has lot of work to do and is under intense pressure doing three employees’ jobs and no one cooperates with him. People who had visited the department and see him work and the fiascos, would give him back and shut his mouth or snigger away in an insulting manner. He was quite a character by himself and when an employee was talking about him to another employee who did not know him, they would say, “Have you not seen that man who comes to work, carrying his lunch in a red school bag?” He would carry this school bag containing his lunch and every second or third day, he would go in the evenings after leaving work to the liquor outlet near the Gulf Hotel to replenish his stock. The Department had the practice of celebrating the birthdays of all employees, i.e. 11 or 12 members. You can imagine what a rustic, uncouth and earthy fellow he was, because he would refuse to wear the birthday cap, did not extinish the candle flame on his birthday cake by blowing it off, but by pinching the candle wick with his fingers. He had funny way of pronouncing words. He called on the telephone and told the attendant that he wanted to speak to Richelle (phonetically we pronounce as “Ree-shell”), but he said “Ree-challey” and thanks he did not say “Man-Challey”. Persons who interacted with this bloke will never forget him for his idiotic ways and idiosyncracies.

    This is nothing new. This has been going on for generations – Beaches and rivers are notoriously abused every morning by local population. Even the ponds/lakes are not safe in the hands of our community. Back in late-80s, I remember the horrifying experience of taking an early morning walk by Gokarna beach and witnessing human waste littered all over the place!!! Have you ever witnessed Nethraavathi river banks near Dharmasthala or Kannadi hoLe in Subrahmanya in early morning hours ? Purely disgusting!!! As Jairaama Ramesha put it once, India is the biggest open toilet on earth!! We need to learn a lot on cleanliness and orderliness from countries like Singapore and Japan.

  • From Max E Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Nurses-The Angels of Mercy,Care & Friendship! Nurses Day Celebrated at Fr Muller's Hospital

    It is nice to know that Fr. Muller’s Hospital celebrated the International Nurses Day in Mangalore with a nice gathering followed by the liturgical services at the Chapel. It was nice to witness wrapped gifts offered during the offertory. Nurses deserve all possible attention and gratitude for all that they dedicate not only for the patients but also for the Doctors as well. Nurses are a direct link between the patients and the Doctors. Nurses witness the pain, the suffering and all other physical agonies more than the Doctors, and render their personal help selflessly in order to make the patient cured for his or her illness and go home with joy. Nurses walk into a patient’s room with a smile, knowing too well the progress a patient is making, regardless of the actual situation. A nurse will always console the patient “You will be alright soon – cheer up – I am here to share your pain and concern”. A Nurse will check the temperature, the blood pressure and also the pulse rate and will appear every hour with the medication. A Nurse gets calls from many other patients, and a Nurse will run to every patient and give her best of everything in order to make the patient happy and satisfied regardless of her own aches and pains. I have been gifted with a Nurse within the four walls of my “dear home”. She is not only a Nurse but acts more as a Doctor, a Mentor, a Partner and also a Friend. She can be a benevolent Dictator if she wants to be one. She may be retired few years ago but she is getting younger in her heart, stronger in her body and tender in her touch, and she makes her dear husband for 52 years feel that he is in good shape and good health, and will live for many more years provided he listens to her and continues to be her beloved and loyal husband for ever. Nurses have been blessed with a special gift of love, the patience and tolerance. Nurses are truly “God Sent” angels without any title. They give unto a patient more than they take at the end of the month. I have a sincere wish that I should be conscious enough, mindful enough and alert enough, until the last minute of my life, so that I can hold the Nurse’s loving hands, make a tearful eye contact, and whisper to her: “Thank you, sweet Angel, for all your humanitarian dedication to life. Its time for me to say ‘good bye’ but I shall remember you while in heaven, and shall pray for you from above so that you can live longer, happier, and help many other patients in their struggles of life”. That’s all I have to say on the International Nurse’s Day. God Bless.

    Have seen the same situation 25 years ago, before Mangaluru became “developed”. The fisherfolk has always resorted to this practice. Sadly the dryfish is also put on the same beach area for drying. If people stop buying the dryfish, it may send a message to the fisherfolk.

    Shocking exposure of such large scale open relieving of locals on popular beaches while all this while I was thinking that such activity might be confined to cities with huge populations like Mumbai!! Definitely the species of fishes caught near the shores should be having a high fecal content in them!! No doubt one my friends advised me not to eat certain types of fishes like cat fish (it has definitive pooh colored yellow coating on it) and river fish which thrive near huge drains etc. should be strictly avoided and he even went to the extent of terming them ‘pooh fish’!! It would be worthwhile if some agency or body analyses the fecal content in the fishes caught near the shore and make it public!!

    The happiness of having read a well written article evaporated on thinking about the attitude of those breaking in and the thought of what might have happened to the portrait.

    Why only Pannambur beach , right from Thannirubhavi to Surathkal, beaches are used as not only as toilets but also as dumping ground. All garbage is dumped in to the sea. Naturally sea is dumping it back on the beach. there is no place to walk on this beach because of this. People who call the sea as Ganga Mata, pour Milk to it one day, dump and pour garbage on other 364 days.Some community leaders must take initiative to clean up this mess.

    Do not waste money building public toilets, if you cannot maintain them. So many public toilets are beyond use especially at the bus travelling facilities. If you build public toilets, create the position of Toilet Keepers for each toilet. Charge Re.1 per use. Public toilet needs to be cleaned multiple times a day. If someone made a mess, others cannot wait until next day for a Municipality man to come and clean, if at all he cleans.

I know in India, no matter if there Mother’s day or nor, children love and respect their mothers 365 days a year. Looking at the pics I can say this contest and celebration to mark it was a fun and frolic one, with a bash. To all of you who were behind this event, my sincere compliments and job well done.

  • From Vasanth on Mangaluru: Holy Shit! Looks Like Panambur Beach is the New 'Toilet' Destination for Early-Morning 'Poopers'

    Why I don’t eat Bolinger (white silver lined fish)! Unfortunately the vile scenes depicted in these photos speak of nothing but the truth of what is going on here. I visited the Thanneerubavi beach myself a few years back. Upon first glance, it appears to be a clean beautiful beach visited by many; with people of all age groups enjoying the sands and the clear waters; a beach that were if connected to ullal, could certainly even have striking similarities to Cancun of Maxico in my opinion. Therefore, upon deciding the next day on an early morning jog to take in the scenery, you can imagine my utter shock and disgust at the morning scene that met my eyes-a human line that stretched for miles defecating into the fresh waters of this beach while the waves swept the waste away; while very close by, fishermen in small boats caught the Bolinger paying no heed to the revolting scene at hand-just in these photos.

    Is it true that the sea snakes and wild catfish are on the loose? Is it true a school of salt water Piranha are on the loose, at this beach? But how about Candiru? This minnow-like fish is attracted to uric acid source.; hence finds its way through the urethra. Must be agonizingly painful. Now you know why I don’t pee in the swimming pool! Portable boxes at the beach could be a solution, partly.

    Punishment is the only deterrent and it should not peanut amount. Fine them heavily then people improve other wise Indian thinking never change.We look at western countries and praise their cleanliness. Why so because the fine they pay. If you visit a toilet there you have to pay 1 or two USD for using the toilet. Here we are happy shit on sea shore and wash the bum with sea water.Our MLAs visit western countries and pay one or two Dollars and do not talk it here.

    Congratulations to all the winners. The two nuns look very much alike. Why didn’t they get the prize? Every mother loves to hear that her daughter looks like her sister. Because the mother so loves to hear that she looks as young as her daughter. But no daughter wants to hear that her mother looks like her sister. Because the daughter does not want people to think she looks as old as her mother.

  • From Joe D'Souza on Mangaluru: Commotion after Wheel-locking of District Seva Dal Chief Ashraf's Car in Prohibited Area

    Seva Dal R…. Style. Every Mangalorean should look at the Eyes of this Seva Dal head. He had the guts to question Police Inspector about the wheel lock. What was Asraf thinking?. Seva Dal according to Asraf is: Blocking the Traffic, Parking in NO PARKING Zone, Assaulting Public and the Police, Using rowdy language in Public, and making fool of Himself. 1. Mr. Suresh Kumar, please immediately File Criminal Case against Asraf for stopping a Traffic Officer from performing duties. My request to Inspector Mr Nagaraj to arrest Asraf immediately. 2. The Man in Blue Stripe Shirt should file Assault case and Life Threat against Asraf immediately. 3. Commissioner Mr Murugan should take immediate steps to arrest this person and send Him to jail. This is one way to protect the Policemen. 4. DC Mr Ibrahim should take immediate action for creating traffic jam and harassing the Public. 5 RTO Mr. Khan should check the Driver License of Asraf and suspend it for road violations as He created Accident Prone violations. 6 Mr Nagaraj, Inspector of Kadri East should arrest Asraf under criminal act of creating Riot situation with intention to hurt Traffic Police for acting on Public Complaint. I was the one who installed the “No Park” sign under the request of Inspector Mr Nagaraj and Sub Inspector Mr. Muddy near Unity Hospital for the benefit of Public. As Allen Pereira requested for Public to unite and fight against this Asraf, I also kindly request every Mangalorean to join under good Leadership and fight to Jail this person. Final Note of request to Mr J R Lobo: Sir as Mangaloreans have good faith in your Leadership, kindly oust this Asraf from Congress Party immediately to save yours and Party respect. So also my special request to Mr Ivan D’Souza MLC of Mangalore to expel Asraf from Congress Party.

    Sounds like the classic Indian “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM” syndrome. The law is the same for all in a democracy. The offender has an opportunity to fight the ticket in a court! This is not China or Russia – the courts should intervene and hand down the maximum penalty to the offender including a day or two in jail for causing so much commotion over a silly thing – he should have accepted the responsibility, accepted the ticket, paid the fine, and gone about his business. No one should be above the law – period!

  • From B. Dinesh on China: Is it A Threat to Neighbours and the World?

    Dear Mr. Lewis Your article is very interesting, comprehensive, and discusses some of the serious issues facing India and the west. China is not only wanting to be a super power financially but it also wants to be super power militarily. The way they are accomplishing this is through industrial and military espionage on one hand and through dumping of cheap and counterfeit goods n the other. Their inattention to pollution has caused serious issues including poor health conditions among millions and polluted water and food resources in China. Sadly, the west has fallen a prey to cheap goods. China is now trying to expand its Navy as they have realized that to be a super power a country needs a powerful navy (like what Britain had for 2 centuries and the US has been having since WW1). This naval threat is only one aspect of China’s growing ambitions to expand its territory in the Pacific – the other bigger threat to the west and India is China’s capabilities to conduct cyber attack. The US recently beefed up its cyber command and is investing more to prevent cyber attacks. Sadly, the US universities is where the Chinese students learn advanced technologies and on the other hand some of the Chinese living in the US have been stealing defence and industrial technologies from their employers. Cyber attacks are routinely conducted by the Chinese to obtain US military secrets. Mr. Modi is doing the right thing – acquiring the most modern and sophisticated defence equipment and technologies form the west (particularly from the US and Israel). The moribund technologies sold by the Russians has taken a heavy toll on India’s defence capabilities. It is outrageous to notice that half the MIG fleets are either unusable or have crashed killing good IAF pilots. India should stop buying defence equipment from Russia. India should pay attention to 2 recent developments – the increased friendship between China and Russia, and also between China and Pakistan. More disturbing is the Chinese offer to invest over $40 billion in Pakistan’s infrastructure. In light of these developments, India should not only acquire more and newer defence technologies and equipment from the west but also find a way to join NATO or create an equivalent body like NATO joining hands with USA, Israel, Australia, and Japan to address the threat from China and Pakistan in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean areas. Mr. Modi needs to create a new Department of Cyber Technologies within the Ministry of Defence. India has good computer and cyber technology experts who can work closely with the UK and the USA. Cyber warfare is the next frontier – if we think that today’s terrorism is bad, cyber warfare can bring down computer and communications networks, electrical grids, water systems, banking and financial systems and of course the ability for the government to operate. Military intelligence should therefore be beefed up significantly using high-tech and simple methods. It should not be hard for Indians to mix with the locals in Pakistan and also the North East Indians to mix with the Chinese and gather information. Joint war exercises is another way to be prepared for any Chinese misadventure in India Ocean or the Pacific Ocean. India should continue to conduct these with not just the USA but also with Australia, Japan, and Israel. This will send a strong message to China and Pakistan. Many a times, the Indian military has been caught off-guard – right from 1962 Chinese debacle to the Kargil incursion. All this goes back to poor intelligence gathering methods and use of outdated technologies and weapons. One of the other important aspects is to privatize the defence industry so that competition and foreign collaboration can produce better and more reliable weapons. It has taken decades for Indian government owned research institutions and factories to produce simple things like a light weight aircraft or helicopter or the tank. The bigger danger is that none of these weapons have been battle tested – neither the tank, nor the helicopter, nor the aircraft. Compare this to the AWACS, the C-17 transport aircraft, the F-16s, the M1A2 Abrams tank, or the nuclear submarines from France or the US – the two recent India owned Russian submarine accidents tell a sad story! The Indian military weapons are all outdated except for the recent acquisitions like the AWACS and C17s. Indian army needs newer and more powerful weapons including armored personnel carriers and amphibious assault vehicles. Given that India has thousands of miles of coastline, it is time to consider developing Indian Marine Corps as part of the Indian Navy. The Navy’s fleet of ships needs to be fitted with modern technologies and weapons. The IAF needs newer fighters and bombers including a Long Range Strategic Bomber – the US is building a new one – may be good time to collaborate. Until then India could buy the B-52 – a proven workhorse bomber that has led the USAF in every war the US fought since WW2 and is probably one of the best planes ever built. All these changes need good planning from the military, the politicians, and the bureaucrats. Can these all be achieved by putting aside corruption? Mr. Modi has a very good chance as his party is the majority party now! This is the greatest opportunity to address the issues on a war footing or pay the piper later!

    • From Nelson Lewis on China: Is it A Threat to Neighbours and the World?

      Dear Mr. B. Dinesh, Thank you for the comments, wherein you have expressed your views and I feel that the same are quite reasonable and I agree with them. India is unfortunate to have two neighbours, namely China is a totalitarian, communist and country that likes to grab other territories, create problems and unrest and Pakistan, which is a country which is run by the Army (as their Prime Minister is a mere dummy, who dances to the numbers played by the Army and the military establishment) and is also a country that is notorious across the world for being a factory that produces terrorists and delivers the finished products to their clientele through its convey belt system. I also agree with you that Russian arms are inferior, though cheaper than western arms. U.S. ams are superior, but one cannot depend on her to be a “all-weather friend”. However, India should do everything to have an indigenous arms industry that manufactures all sorts of sophisticated arms and till then, buy the best arms from the U.S. European countries and Israel. As you rightly said, India should have treaties and military alliances with the U.S. U.K., N.A.T.O., Israel, Japan and all other countries that feel threatened and/or alarmed by the China’s defence expenditure which is only second to the U.S. China is the second largest spender on defence and, naturually there, has the world’s second largest military budget. India should increase its military expenditure to 3.5% or more, without taxing Indians, just by pruning their unwieldy, lethargic, creaky, incompetent and corrupt employees in the Government Departments starting with Railways which has a workforce of 1.7 million men and quite a number of them just come to work place (at Railways), sign the muster and go to work outside. They have an arrangement with their superiors. So, this is the case of, “You scratch my back and I scratch yours.” The Government could get rid of excess manpower in Government Departments starting with Railways, which employs 1.7 million men, the world’s second largest employer after the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.

    I live in a country where a responsible person with authority commits any crime, the punishment is more than normal. They are held in higher standard which means, court assumes that they should have known better than ordinary citizens. Example: If a police officer commits a crime, the judge will hold him in higher standard. Ashraf should be a role model to the society. He should have done what once the Home Minister George had done when a cop stopped his car. He admitted the fault and asked the driver to pay the fine. One cannot bully because they have power and connection. That is called abusing the power.

      Ahraf Bhai, I am glad that you came forward and explained your side of the story. It is quite possible that one cannot see the lock on the wheel. Here in the US police lock the wheel which is called boot. The boot is bright yellow, can be visible to the driver easily. Besides, the police also put a dark red color sticker on the driver side window warning that the car is booted so that driver may not try to move the car without noticing the boot. The sticker include necessary information who to call and how to pay the fine to remove the boot. You can use your authority to implement the warning sticker policy on the driver side window so that such incidents may not happen again.

    Ashraf has every right to commit an offence like Sallu and get away with it. After Sallu’s bail no rich person will ever care for law of the land. Offence is an offence. No parking area he should not park.

      First and Foremost Seva Dal is just a service Wing of a Political Party. (even thoguh was started by Gandhiji with a service motto for freedom Fighters which was later hijacked) . Mr Ashraf with all due respect is just another TDH He has outrightly broken all law. Simple Citizens should publicly reprimand such behaviour. Its Utter Nonsense he went to get medicines. IF such is the situation there are many Medical Shops in the locality and Unity Hospital has a inside parking. Its Just another Showing of High Handedness of Political Juniors who show of their strength. Lets all unite and support the Cop who is very well mannered and responsible from all known sources

Lets send messages of support to the Police Commissioner and request that his men on duty be protected from abuse when honestly carrying on their duties Thank you

    And why is this news? If people want to convert, then it’s a choice they are making. This story is also confusing. Initially, Raju converted to Hinduism, but they were practicing Christian rites, then they all married Hindus, Good for them..hope they are all happy?? Like I said, their choice is a private matter and not newsworthy. and by the way..the hush hush is no longer hush hush since it is now posted and their photos are all available. Good to also know that political organizations have nothing better to do than try and convert people. Hmmm..wonder what was promised to the family in return!

    People should take the responsibility to maintain it clean to make Swatch Bharat Andolan a successful project.-Mr.Krishan,India, Dear Sir, As part of ‘Swachh bharat’ campaign I had seen only politicians with snap shot cover page. While our Father of nation Mahatama Gandhi is used to clean his own toilets, I haven’t seen not a single BJP volunteer among 10 crores cleaning ‘Public toilet ‘ for the same cause. The same Indian diaspora in other nation respect every law of the country but spits on the streets and urinate on the walls. The question is how long one will spend time on cleaning, when cleanliness is not part of the daily rituals and there is no common sense of hygiene conciseness? I bet you you must have done the same, many go to the restaurant and taking piss after the meal and in the cash counter use the same golden spoon to chew some ‘Masala’ at the counter? Jai Hind

    Public toilets should be made pay and use. ( Re 1 entry fee). Otherwise maintenance of these toilets becomes a big problems. In most of the public toilets water supply is a major problem. Flush never works. Building toilets may be a easy job. Who will maintain and look after it. ? Bus stand and railway station toilets are dirtiest places on the earth. People should take the responsibility to maintain it clean to make Swatch Bharat Andolan a successful project.

The church authorities (if they have issued the certificates) are at fault and the advocate(s) who has(Have) forged are the ones who deserve the punishment. Once the marriage certificate is proved fake or wrongly issued by the church authorities. they should be questioned.

    Mr Casmir D’Souza,all my SUPPORT to You,and to everyone who supports Commissioner Hepsiba Korlapati. I have written in my comments in the past, requesting every Mangalorean to support Her for better future of Mangalore. She is the best Commissioner Mangalore had during past few decades. Some of the Corrupt Corporators cannot stand because She is a thorn in their eyes. Also some of the Corrupt Town Planning will not tolerate Her due to Black Money shortage in their Pocket. Also some in the Engineering Department are questionable, to know if few are real qualified Engineers or black money specialists. Mr.Casmir D’Souza, please contact Mr. H.Kamath and other NGO’s and fight against the Corrupt Corporators. Also I request you to contact Lokayukta Police, to investigate financial dealings of them. Without even doing any work Corporators own Expensive Cars, Apartments, built more than Crore worth house plus many Properties they own after they became elected. I kind request to Media Persons, please join these NGO’s and fight for Commissioner. Also keep an eye on Corruption inside MCC. Mr Alfie write a Investigative Article through Mangalorean.com by meeting Mr.Casmir D’Souza and Mr.H. Kamath and others who support the Truth.

    People should practice hygienic habits. Usage of toilets as opposed to road side and river side defecation is the first step. Spitting has to be punished when done in public places. People have the habit of spitting paan. It may take many years for some improvement in these areas. Eventually it will happen. Women have more sense and decency. They should refuse to marry uncouth characters who have no regard for decency.

    It is sad – very very sad that the situation has come to this level of The Corporation commissioner asking for police protection. In the interest of all concerned and the people of Mangalore it is expedient that all try and bury their hatchets and come together and work with unison. Unless this is done and unless people at different levels make it a workable proposition, there is bound to be confusion. Hope that better discretion prevails and together all make an action oriented and result oriented PLAN

    And here is Mr. George Pinto again with an impeccable track record in action. Nothing escapes the attention of Mr. Pinto and he is known for his integrity, strength of character and above all a bold stand when it comes to rules and regulations. It is true that a lot of liquor gets smuggled into Mangalore from Goa. Whereas so many cases have been detected – many go unnoticed. In the execution of his duties of course there are efficient people like Shiva Prasad and Ratnakar Rai to assist Mr. Pinto. I am sure people have various ideas on the issue. It is best that these ideas are translated in factual terms and presented to The Excise department to ensure that Mangalore becomes a model city.
