  • From Satish on Mangaluru : Tata-Sky CSRs are the 'WORST' People to Deal with in Solving your TV Channels Issues

    So don’t trust the TATA brand any more. I was using their cars, tea, salt, dal, gold (tanishq) and Tatasky. The bank whose ATM cards I use has a maintenance contract with a TATA company – TCBIL. They seem to collect the money from the banks but have subcontracted all the work doen the line, up to sweeping the ATM rooms. Most of the ATMs don’t work, cash loading is at the whims of the sub-contractor so most of the time “cash out”, A/Cs are not working, doors don’t close, no sweeping or cleaning. Never expected any company taking a large contract to do this. Because of the bad ATMs the bank has lost many customers. Now Tatasky. Down since April 1. Today I receive a message about recharge due! No proper response from maintenance, only false promises of coming to attend within 48 hours. The hour never comes. I am shifting providers tomorrow, the beginning of the next month. The TATA brand cannot be trusted any more. Like many others out there, these people have also started to be bothered about the sale only, not the service. Time to move away.

  • From Nelson Lewis on India Needs to be Ready to Face Wars and Internal Crises

    Dr. Manmohan Singh was India’s most incompetent Prime Minister who left the country, people and mainly the armed forces in a total state of neglect. Though, he has been perceived to be the honest man, the very fact that as the Prime Minister of the country, he kept his eyes closed and did nothing, speaks very poorly of him. Even his own community of Sikhs make jokes of him. He was the Godfather of all scams and irregularities and took orders from a person, who had no skills worth a name. Dr. Singh could not handle Pakistan and did not give any sense of direction to the armed forces and left them in a state of utter confusion. On the contrary, he sent choicest mangoes, sweets, etc. to the highly corrupt Prime Minister of Pakistan. Dr. Singh sat on the Prime Minister’s chair in order to enjoy the perks and privileges that go with that position and the free foreign trips he could make with his wife under official capacity, though he could not show any results. He is an utterly shameless and pathetic person. Mr. Narendra Modi may not be a perfect leader and he has his faults. However, when it comes to country’s security and the needs of the armed forces he is responsive. Further, in Nepal’s earthquake tragedy, he has acted very, very fast, before China and others could make an entry and take credit. In case of Dr. Singh, he would have done nothing, until he got the nod of his boss.

  • From B. Dinesh on The Pathetic Academic Culture of Mangaluru

    Dr. Ahmed, I am not sure where to start the response to your extremely well written article about academic issues in Mangalore. First of all, I am surprised that you decided to go back to Mangalore after earning a PhD in Mathematics from UC Davis! May be you felt that you had to give back something to your country. The issues you raised have been there since the 1960s. I attended St. Aloysius High School and did my Pre University at st. Aloysius College. I then left the country as I had seen no good opportunities in India at that time. When I matriculated in late 1960s, the SSLC syllabus was set by a board in Bangalore. The paper was set by another team of teachers and the answer papers were corrected yet by another group! None of the teachers who taught me had a say in setting the syllabus, the test papers nor in correcting the answer books! This was the same pattern in PUC under Mysore University! Somehow I managed to get good grades. Yet, when I applied to the then Tata institute to attend a 3-month Fortran programming course, I was rejected as I had NO degree in Mathematics! This is what they wanted! Disgusted, I left the country and went to London – got my degrees in Computer and Software Engineering. None of my examination papers were set by anyone else other than the professors who taught me nor were they corrected by someone else other than the professor who taught the course. I worked for a few years in London and also taught as an Adjunct Professor. I moved the US 30 years ago and have been working for a large computer company and also been an Adjunct Professor at a local university and have taught over a dozen different courses and thousands of students. Never has my university or department ever intervened in my teaching affairs. The undergrad committee sets the course requirements, pre-reqs, and objectives. I set the syllabus, I set the quiz/exam papers, grading policy, and I grade the papers. This is the general method in the USA. I am writing this for the benefit of others and not Dr. Ahmed as I am sure that she has gone through a similar process at UC Davis. BTW – I also taught students from Tata Institute and IIT and of course I had the last laugh! Dr. Ahmed, you may be better recognized at a different educational institution than the one in Mangalore. Often, we all are a victim of our own emotion based decisions. The quality of teaching, the quality of students in India has been eroding for decades. Everyone in the computer industry India wants a fancy title like ‘software engineer’ though they never did a computer or software engineering degree! There are layers and layers of management in US companies operating in India while in the west the same companies are reducing the layers of management. When these students from India come to the US, they first look for old examination papers – a habit from Indian college days – and then when questions are not repeated as they expected, they are a disaster! Your talents and capabilities deserve a lot better – you may want to come back to the USA and teach here. Like many highly educated and well qualified Indians, you may find peace and success here! I wish you every success.

    • From Nelson Lewis on The Pathetic Academic Culture of Mangaluru

      Dear Mr. B. Dinesh, It was quite interesting to read about your experiences. The best Indian brains suffer due to the inherent red-tape, nepotism, corruption and all other evils prevalent in India, compelling them to emigrate to U.S.A. and other fresh pastures. And these brains have been a blessing in disguise to their adopted lands. I am told that every third or fourth engineer, professor, lawyer, scientist and other professionals are U.S. nationals (of Indian origin). 63% of U.S. nationals (of Indian origin) are graduates, whereas the “All America” percentage is 36 or 37%. Whereas, the average annual earnings of U.S. nationals (of Indian origin) per head works out to $ 90,000/-, whereas the “All America” average works out to $ 55,000/-. At least these figures should open the eyes of the Indian politicians.

The figures you referred to are more-or-less OK. However, they are the MEDIAN annual earnings and not the “average annual earnings”.

  • From B. N. Pai on Mangaluru: Poojary Challenges Modi to expel Sakshi and Prachi from Party for Derogatory Comments on Rahul

    Poojari forgets the fact that Modi became what he is today because of thousands of Sakshi Maharajas and Sadhvi Prachis who made false allegations, who spread religiously infuriating rumours, hyped Hindu religious frenzy and divided the Indians as Hindus and non-Hindus. In fact, Modi belongs to their league and fraternity. How can Modi take any action against his creators who made him a Prime Minister from out of a RSS pracharak, who thrived on their path in the past to achieve his present heights? Modi can be anything but not a traitor to the RSS!

  • From Krishna on India Needs to be Ready to Face Wars and Internal Crises

    India is virtually dependent on imports for sophisticated weaponry and it is high time that the Government…..Nelson Lewis. Thanks for the good article. Since Independence India has never made any attempt for manufacture of defene hardware. Successive Congress governments in their 57 years of rule always enjoyed arms import which gave them ample of opportunities to fill their coffers with kickbacks. DRDO has always remained as a most inactive organizations. Modi government for the first time is trying to change face of DRDO. Modi government approved the termination of the contract of Mr. Chander with effect from January 31. Mr. Chander was a retired guy. MMS gave him extension for 18 months for his inefficiency. UPA government never felt that DRDO needs an efficient leader. India lost more Piolets due to MIG crash during the peace time than during the war. The cause of Russian made INS Sindhuratna disaster which killed 18 Indian Navy Sailors will remain a mystery forever. Make in India policy will be a big boom for Indian economy. When a small country like Israel could become self-reliant why not India become a global power in defence productions.

      “UPA government never felt that DRDO needs an efficient leader.” – SAYS Krishna! DRDO WAS A TOTAL WASTE ACCORDING TO KRISHNA. DR APJ ABDUL KALAM WAS MADE THE CHIEF OF DRDO BY UPA. ALL HIS ACHIEVEMENTS AND EXCELLENCE WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE CONGRESS. OF COURSE, HE BLOSSOMED TO BECOME A BHARAT RATNA FOR NUCLEAR DETONATION AND LATER PRESIDENT OF INDIA, ALBEIT, FOR WRONG REASONS! HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM. FOR, RAJA RAMANNA DID IT IN 1974. BUT BJP GAVE THE CREDIT TO KALAM IN 1998 FOR NUCLEAR DETONATION AND BESTOWED BHARATA RATNA ON HIM. ALL FOR THE WRONG REASONS. FOR INDIRA GANDHI PRESIDED OVER FIRST NUCLEAR DETONATION AND NOT VAJPAYEE! KALAM WAS A MILITARY ROCKETRY MAN AND NOT A NUCLEAR SCIENTIST. HE BECAME THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA BY DEFAULT. FOR RSS WANTED TO MAKE A NON-HINDU TO BE ELECTED THE NEXT PRESIDENT, JUST TO PREEMPT THE BECOMING OF SONIA GANDHI, A NON-HINDU, THE PRIME MINISTER NEXT TIME; PLAYING ON THE POSSIBLE HINDU SENTIMENT THAT BOTH THE PRESIDENT AND PRIME MINISTERS SHOULD NOT BE NON-HINDUS, CONCURRENTLY! CONGRESS REJECTED P. C. ALEXANDER PROPOSED BY RSS. RSS REJECTED KRISHNAKANTH FOR HE WAS A HINDU AND RSS GAME PLAN NEEDED A NON-HINDU, AND NOT A HINDU! KRISHNA KANTH DIED OF MASSIVE HEART ATTACK JUST BECAUSE PRAMOD MAHAJAN TOLD HIM THAT HIS NAME WAS REJECTED BY THE RSS AS HE HAPPENED TO BE A HINDU. RSS MAKES SOME HINDUS AND BREAKS SOME OTHER HINDUS, ALL IN THE NAME OF HINDUISM!

    • From shAikH moHD rizwaan on India Needs to be Ready to Face Wars and Internal Crises

      Make in India policy will be a big boom for Indian economy. When a small country like Israel could become self-reliant why not India become a global power in defence productions.-Mr.Krishna,India Sir,A decade before GSLV is launched into orbit, in December 1982, India had formed a cryogenic study team to focus on the development of an engine which could generate a thrust of 10 tonnes. But the project did not take off because Isro realized indigenous development of such engines would pose major technological challenges. It then decided to import these engines from Russia to expedite its GSLV programme. The Indian quest to acquire cryogenic technology faced not just technological challenges but also geopolitical sanctions. In fact, the US had at one point tried to scuttle India’s Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) project.Despite all those hurdles and less than 300 crores budget allocation,our own space research programme idegenously built putting the nation in top six countries in the world. http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-01-09/news/46030395_1_cryogenic-engine-mahendragiri-isro In the middle of the euphoria about the launch of Mangalyaan, India’s Mars probe, it may seem churlish to bring up the question of whether the space programme could have been more efficient and produced results earlier. Before PM Modi government take the credit and talks about ‘Vimans’ flying 7000 years ago ,the 60 years of Congress ruling has already ‘Made in India’ technology. Then comes the supercomputer,The idea of such a computer was first floated in 2009 at the supercomputing conference in 2009. Intel has announced it would develop the computer by 2018. USA has put aside a substantial sum for it while India too has committed $ 2 billion. Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore are expected to develop a supercomputer with 132.8 exaflops by 2017.Then Indian scientists and technologists took the challenge of “Made in India” Supercomputer. For this purpose a new institution was set up in 1988 by the name “Centre for Development of Advanced Computing” (C-DAC). The success came within two years; in 1990 first prototype of Indian Supercomputer was built. It was named ‘Param’ (Parallel Machine), the word ‘Param’ is Sanskrit in origin and it means ‘The Supreme’. The prototype was benchmarked at the 1990 Zurich Supercomputer Show. India became second after USA. In 1991 the first full-fledged Indian Supercomputer, ‘Param 8000’ was installed. It had a speed of 1 GigaFLOPS. Even before former PM Vajpayee tested the capacity of Nuclear bombs, the predecessor government under PM Indira Gandhi designed,produced and tested “Smiling Buddha” was the assigned code name of India’s first nuclear weapon explosion on 18 May 1974. The defence ministry released the Defence Procurement Policy of 2013 which had only been outlined earlier.The full policy contains unprecedented clauses and rules that add teeth to the MoD’s declared intention to promote indigenisation. An Indian-built Dhruv, or Advanced Light Helicopter,LCA are the other achievement already in our skies. The defence ministry released the Defence Procurement Policy of 2013 which had only been outlined earlier. The full policy contains unprecedented clauses and rules that add teeth to the MoD’s declared intention to promote indigenisation. PM Modi only talked about pseudo mythological based science and still allocated worth $ 15 billion defence contract to Isreal,French and USA to ‘Make in India’. For PM Modi it is time to walk the talk rather than wearing ‘made in London’ pinned suit addressing the intellectuals in science congress to present the stone age technology to put the nation backward. Buying and running the bullet train won’t be our national pride, unless we improve the ‘Skybus’ technology designed by Konkan Railways. Jai hind

    Children of farmers are now are getting education . Very few are following the profession of their peers. We will face dire situation if migration from farmer profession to other profession takes place rapidly. In D.K. itself we are coming across plenty of farmland without nil cultivation . If this continues for another 10 years we may have to import all our food grain requirements. One more green revolution is the need of the hour with consolidated , mechanized farming. Land bill envisaged by NDA may be with this thought in mind.

Young men and women preparing themselves to be certified as future Doctors are already in the willing mood to help those who are distressed from the natural disaster. God will watch over all these young students so that they will complete their studies and will be soon crowned as Doctors to help and sick and the needy. Their heart and mind is already focused towards humanitarian gestures, hence they will certainly have a successful Medical career and they will shine ever-more with their talents, professions and most importantly their human kindness towards the sick, the distressed and the needy. “Dhanyawadh”.

      I am very saddened that Nepal has had to face the catastrophe of massive earthquake that has resulted in major loss of lives, injuries to many and destruction of private, public properties and world heritage sites. I have always had a soft corner for Nepalese people, based on my interaction with them during my youth and later when I was abroad. They are very hard working people, honest and loyal. Further, there are 40,000 Nepalese donning the uniforms of the Indian Army and they are a very good infantry force that is capable of fighting in any adverse conditions and even in mountains. They are highly adept in using the khukri, instead of the bayonet, with telling and lethal effect. As such Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world and this earthquake will be a jolt on Nepal and it will require massive injection of aid and funds from many countries. Contrary to the negative views expressed by one or two commentators on this forum, who always have blinkered and prejudiced outlook and suffer from paranoia, considering the geo-political situation in the region I have to commend the Indian Government for rushing immediate assistance to Nepal in matters of hours after the tragedy. India has committed mistakes in the past, especially when Sri Lanka wanted help and cooperation during the premiership of Dr. Manmohan Singh, when he did nothing and the Chinese entered in a big way. At least if India gives massive aid to Nepal, that country will be very much obliged to India and offer her massives projects for reconstruction and rehabilitation of the country.

Since Maharashtra BJP came to power under CM Fadnavi’s average 12 farmers are consuming pesticides to kill themself due to ecnominc hardship and drought situation. In order inflict more damage to the wounds,now they have banned ‘Cow slagughter’ when not even 40% of fodder is not avilable for the animals. Now the BJP government which banned cow citing agriculture reason now have no option but offer ‘Go Mutra’ ‘Gobbar’ to the hunger of farmers. While ‘Go Hataya’ is not permissible under PM Modi for domestic consumption but for the sake of foreign exchange exports is allowed by the Hindus. Aab ki bar Modi sarkar, Kissan ka parivar anath.

  • From Anand Dsilva on The distressed Indian farmer

    Madam, your articles are very interesting to read. If we reflect on our own lives we will realize just about 2 generations back our ancestors were farmers because that was the only way of generating food and making a living. Most of the food was produced in our own backyard and it goes for most of the people anywhere in India probably the world. When people got educated we thought farming is a labour job meant for the uneducated. Most of us migrated to cities and we expected good jobs with big salaries or set up businesses with good profits but in return we expect the groceries that we bring home must be cheap. Rice must be cheap, vegetables must be cheap, fruits must be cheap. So there is squeezing going on everywhere and I feel the most exploited person is the poor farmer who has to sweat it out and get nothing in returns. How can a farmer buy a Rs 50 lakh apartment? We hear a person dealing in stocks makes huge profits or someone working in a good co. earning high salary for a 9 to 5 job who can afford some luxuries and things like that. We expect our mutual funds to give a return of 10% plus, we expect our properties to fetch double in few years so why not farmer also make some money like that out of his own hard labour. If a farmer should not commit suicide we the non farming community who fill our stomachs because of hard work of these farmers should be generous enough to pay a little extra so that the benefit is passed on to the farmer. Some big companies have already this method in place that they give back profits to the farming community by giving them better price on their yields. I think these things should come out in a person out of compassion because it cannot be taught in schools.

  • From Joe D'Souza on Mangaluru: DCP Law and Order Santosh Babu SP of Chikkamagaluru

    This is happening because of some Corrupt day long sleeping Ministers are ruling the state. They WAG their tail for Cash and dance to the tune of Corruption. I know Santhosh Babu very well as a real Police Officer. Just 3 weeks back We both discussed the same topic of transfer for Honest Officers and He knew it was coming to Him. Sand Mafia is getting out of control in Karnataka,specially in Coastal areas. These good officers who catch these Rowdies by throat wiggle out with help of District Minister and others Ministers. Next one will be City Commissioner on line. Some time back Zilla Panchayat CEO Ms Tulsi spoke to me about transfer to Her because She is strict and within months She was gone. Now some Corrupt Corporators, Engineers along with Town Planning Officers joined by few more Corrupt Uneducated -Lawless ones cannot stand the true work of Ms Hapshiba Koralpati. To give these crooks some strength our new Mayor Jessie is joining. I am ashamed that Mayor is with them too. Mangaloreans please rise and stop this corrupt behavior leading TRANSFER OF HONEST OFFICIALS BECAUSE THEY ARE THORN in their EYE or face the hardship soon.

    Great job, Shriman MLA J. R. Lobo. Your leadership and all the initiatives that you have undertaken for Mangalore are highly noted and admired. You have the best Mayor, Lady Jacinta, to support you and encourage you. The satisfaction of the people of India are basically simple, because we as Indians have known the days of hardships too long under the colonial rule. We pray to God that you will continue to serve the people, and in turn, be rest assured that the people will remain grateful to you and will support you in all your future endeavors towards Mangalore. God bless

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Bengaluru: Flavours of International Cultures Come Alive at Canadian International School

    Canada is indeed a “Multi-cultural” nation in all aspects of the word “Internationalism”. Canada has been blessed abundantly with ample space, much larger than the United States. Canada has well established the Provinces where you can distinctly witness the cultural diversities added with languages and display of many origins from the global environment. Canadians are a friendly bunch of people who know too well the value of CULTURE amongst all the other features they adore from the foreign immigrants. When an Immigrant gets the Citizenship the Canadian authorities make it succinctly clear not to ever lose our heritage, and they make it sincerely known that our cultural identity is very important for the progress and prosperity of Canada. We would like to visit the Canadian International School some time in Bangalore and share our fond memories of Canada, and all our deep affection and love for all the great things Canada has extended to us for the past 35 plus years. Oh ! Canada, we owe our grateful thanks to thee !! Canada taught us all about the “Snow Country” when we landed straight from the desert. Canada taught us what is Synthetic Oil from the Oil Sands versus the Conventional Oil. Canada also taught us how valuable the Immigrants are for the growth and prosperity of the Nation, and most importantly Canada also taught us to how help each other, understand one another, as human beings. The biggest blessing, the most valuable blessing for Canada is to have a great neighbor called U.S.A.who stands by with Canada as a beloved Sister Nation and supports in all aspects of Economic, Social, Cultural and Political life. Crossing the borders of Canada and the U.S.A., frankly speaking, much easier and smoother than crossing the “Charmady Ghadi” or “Shiradi Ghady”. God help India, U.S.A. and Canada because all these 3 countries are very dear to us as a family.

    A great public relations stunt by the MLA. Since when have land deals in India been done in accordance with market value? Isn’t there an unwritten rule of 60 percent in white and 40% in black for any land sale transaction? And what about the mafia that controls all this?

    Nice and interesting story of 150 years of existence of the Conception Immaculate Church of Urwa. It is amazing how the Christianity of Mangalore survived so long and expanded so well creating a large congregation of Catholics who contributed for the welfare and prosperity of Mangalore. More and more history of Mangalore need be unearthed and publicized and that is one way to awaken the people of Mangalore, specially the non-Christians to appreciate that we too have contributed a great deal for the progress of a community as a whole even from the time of Tippu Sultan. We wonder who came to Urwa first – the Catholicn Diocese or the A.C. Nuns at Lady Hill Convent. Kindly clarify.

How could they explain the jam for over three hours? Traffic did not move coming from the city even an inch for nearly 2 hours!! Police need proper traffic management training.. Despite work going on, and traffic jam becoming a routine problem no police patrolling is seen on this stretch and the area is pitched dark. At least some lights should be put up at some diversion junctions.. I agree that police force need to be increased but that is no reason why they can put in their optimum efforts…

    What Alfie wrote about Tata Sky is 100 percent true. I lost the net work more than month and still they collected the subscription money. How many times a person has to call this outfit to get their services which are paid for. Call for service and it takes at least 10 minutes for answer. Even then answers are meaning less and spoken in such a way hard to understand what they are saying. Also they will not tell when their service men are coming for service. They will not call before coming and show up when no one is at home. Their Royal behavior expect us to wait for them, 24 hours a day, for few days. I think it is time for Consumer department to take action against this company.

    It is extremely kind and noble on the part of Sheikh Humdhan bin Rashid AlMahtourm to encourage young students from India to be selected to honor them with public Awards for their exemplary performance in studies at U.A.E. Many other Arab dignitaries gathered for the auspicious occasion is indeed noteworthy. These kind of awards and recognitions are not only a pride for the selected students as well as their families, but also a awareness and incentive for the local Arab students to realize that Indian students are hard working and determined to be the “best of the best” in their intellectual performance. Far away we come from our home towns with our families, and far away we outshine in our Educational achievements and make our dreams a reality. Many of these Indian students will continue to remain loyal to their host countries and will remain patriotic in their successful existence by giving their very best to the Arab nations. It is all mutual, and it is all the process of “giving and taking” so that everyone enjoys the benefit of our hard work, honest work and determined work.

    When the whole world marches on towards progress, we are steadily or rather rapidly moving backwards. The present government at the center as well as, in Maharastra are unaware that it is easier to slide backwards but takes ages to cover the lost ground. There is always a limitation to the stupidity but here in India, there is no limit to utter stupidity. Dubai, though not a democratically run government, believes in democracy, the needs of people and above all strive hard to maintain law and order and gain momentum in progressing themselves as one of the most sort after place for visit, work and live.

    Beef ban is intended to make the farmers of Maharashtra further poor by not allowing them to sell even the unproductive cattle so that out of sheer poverty they will agree to sell their precious farm land to grabbers at pea nuts. This is what Rahul Gandhi said in the parliament. First make the farmers poor and then hit them hard with the Land ordinance Bill.

  • From Anand Dsilva on If Pork is Served Freely in Dubai, Why not Serve Beef in Mumbai?

    It is because some fanatic Hindus who hate Muslims and Christians want to show their dominance over them. For centuries Indians of various religions must have been eating beef and our ancestors knew it but they were hardly bothered as those who did not want to eat simply abstained from it. When I read comments on articles related to this topic, I come across various people who are living outside India where beef is available but they want to be banned in India citing it hurts their religious beliefs. If that so, how do they live almost all their life in foreign countries. This doesn’t mean all Hindus are against it. Currently anti religious sentiment in India is at a all time high thanks to the ruling party that has invoked religion to polarize people and get maximum share of vote from the majority community.

  • From shAikH moHD rizwaan on If Pork is Served Freely in Dubai, Why not Serve Beef in Mumbai?

    Dear readers, There is no religious compulsion to the ‘Go Matha’ for BJP, accept that this trade of ‘Pink revolution’ has deeply associated with the economic conditions of Muslims of India. While Swami vivekananda to Hindu religious scriptures openly talking about the consumption, the RSS political wing BJP made this political issue to grab the Hindu vote bank showing sympathy to suffering of cows by fellow Muslim citizens of this nation. If BJP ruled Goa is free to sell ‘Beef’ why can’t rest of India under BJP ruled state follow the suit? As per Hindu religious scripture when the demon Hiranyaksha stole the earth and hid her in the primordial waters, Vishnu appeared as Varaha to rescue her. Varaha slew the demon and retrieved the Earth from the ocean, lifting it on his tusks, and restored Bhudevi to her place in the universe. Indeed ‘Wild boar’ has more significance than cow.Why does only cow became dear to RSS ruled BJP not ‘Wild boar’? How does BJP ruled state justify the use of other derivatives of beef trade which in one or the other form used in Pharmaceuticals, photo industry, Fashion etc? Does RSS pass ‘Farman’ ask his volunteers tie the Chaddis with ropes instead of Hide and ask to wear Synthetic shoes during ‘Path Sanchalan’? Why did BJP ruled states banned only cow when Vedas name atleast 250 animals for sacrificial cause? Why did BJP is afraid to debate the subject in public and attach religious compulsion?Why did it banned the D.N.Jha book on the truth of ‘Myth of holy cow’? http://kathleenwhite1971.blog.com/2014/04/02/the-myth-of-the-holy-cow-pdf-download/ “Why do not political parties buy the cows instead of us and ensure them a decent life? This is not about protecting cows, it is about playing politics,” Jai Hind

  • From A. S. Mathew on If Pork is Served Freely in Dubai, Why not Serve Beef in Mumbai?

    There is no other democratic country in the world like India with varying fundamental laws affecting the citizens of the same country. Citizens residing in the six States of the Union don’t have the fundamental right to change religion through the rigid laws enacted; thus infringing the fundamental right. The citizens of those States can move to the neighboring States and change religion. Now another greatly surprising law prohibiting the food consumption. Even today, massive export of beef is conducted from various States of India and the people of the vast majority of the States can consume beef; but the unfortunate people of Maharastra will be hit with jail term up to 5 years and penalty of Rs. 10000.00 for handling beef. The State of Haryana’s degree of punishment will be double for the same sin committed in Maharastra. The Home Minister was so fervent in the earlier days to enact a national “beef ban” and anti-conversion laws with the highly charged inspiration from Mr. Venkaiah Naidu, but now keeping a mysterious silence. Why? The Home Minister at least must instruct the Haryana Government to be fair and equal with the great and holy Maharastra Government in penalizing the residents of Haryana; thus some equality in the largest democratic country.

    True. I stopped blaming the system. We should not risk our life believing colleges, parents, teachers. I am learning online from universities like MIT(USA), Stanford University, Harward and sites like coursera. Forget teaching the content they teach are also outdated atleast in Computer Science. I realized that i need skills more than marks so i started to looking for better education for free and now i am learning from world’s best faculties for free!

  • From Original R.Pai on The Pathetic Academic Culture of Mangaluru

    Very interesting observations!! While some of them are quite obvious (hierarchical, sucking up to managers and powerful folks), the other observations on exam handling and refusal to improve things are new to an outsider. I have a strong feeling that this is not unique to Mangaluru. This must be a recurring theme happening all over India – Agreed, the levels may vary. Oh well…

  • From Krishna on Salman Khan case verdict on May 6

    Salman should spend some time with Sanjay Datt, He made mockery of the judiciary. If he goes unpunished no one deserves punishment in this country. Even after getting the verdict he will have time to appeal in 2 higher courts. This may go on for another couple of decades. With his money he is capable manipulating anything in this country

  • From Jackson on The Pathetic Academic Culture of Mangaluru

    One of the best Article i have read about Academic culture in Mangalore. Very well written and so true to the modern scenario . All wants their children to be engineers and then follow up by MBA. what about pure sciences. nearly 90% of Mangaloreans don’t know the carrier choices after SSLC. They just think either Medical or Engineering so they join Science.Parents think if you above 70% in SSLC then Science….above 50% but below 70% then Commerce….rest below 50% arts. This is totally bad and very cruel on part of the child. I would like to read more and more such articles as it may benefit the general public.Dr.Maya please publish such articles in local linguistic papers as it will help general public a lot

  • From Ravi on Mumbai: Family Members say Anmol Chandan (21) was Pushed from building - deny police suicide claim

    In India if a women die or committe suicide when she caught red handed with her lover, by default Police will arrest her husband, and charge him with murder without much investigation and its upto him to prove himself innocent. but if Women kill her husband with the help of her lover, or her husband committe suicide because mental harassment or because of her extra marital affair, Police will not arrest Women by default. thats the pathetic situation of Indian law. Here is the another example

    “If any Hindu faces financial problems, he should go to the temple head or any Hindu leader and the land should be given to them in return for financial help”. What an idea. This is how land belonging to poor hindus have been looted by established temples or hindu Swamis. People are not stupid fools to not sell their land at the market price to anyone offering the highest bid.

    Hindu Land Should Not be sold to Muslims – Swami Pranavananda Dear readers, While imported Malayalee swami hired by RSS in the absence of banned Tagoida the ‘ghettoisation’ of Gujarat model is replicated in karnataka. The main stream saffron terror continues their pogrom of ‘Ghar vapsi’ our touring PM Modi seems like suffering from “Somniloquy or sleep-talking” to the domestic affairs certaining communalism only reassuring to the world body under the glamour of International media coverage. In one hand Modi is projecting the ‘Gujarat model’ and ‘vibrant Gujarat’,RSS imposing its own version of israelis land grab. India election 2014: Welcome to Bhavnagar, where Muslims are free to live – as long as they change their name http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/india-election-2014-welcome-to-bhavnagar-where-muslims-are-free-to-live–as-long-as-they-change-their-name-9287186.html It certainly caught the attention of Ali Asghar Zaveri, a Muslim scrap metal dealer, who completed the purchase at the beginning of the year and was preparing to move in. But the 30-year-old Mr Zaveri has not been able to occupy his property because many of his prospective Hindu neighbours do not want to live next to a Muslim. For the last few months, residents of the Krishna Nagar neighbourhood have been sitting outside Mr Zaveri’s property, chanting Hindu prayers and banging metal plates in protest. This week, the issue earned national attention after the leader of an extremist Hindu organisation delivered a speech in which he allegedly urged the residents to occupy the property by force and not to fear the law. “Go with stones, tyres and tomatoes,” Pravin Togadia, president of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), reportedly said. As a part of colonisation his government has planned massive township for Kashmiri pandits in Jammu and apartheid rule continues driving Muslims in Gujarat in the name of development and eviction through communal tensions.

    Lions Clubs in every corner of India has a great deal to contribute thru their hearts and their deeds towards the needy or the poor in India. The Leaders of the Lions Clubs in India have so much to focus for the Education, for the medication as well as the dedication because each deed genuinely reaches the needy with no condition attached. The world of Lions also have so much concern for the children of India and they have great admiration for all the Lions of India who are there to witness the genuine causes and render the best possible services to those that deserve the help. When we visit the interior of Karnataka each time of our visit we notice the Logo of the Lions and makes us feel very proud because each Logo represents the act of charity and act of kindness towards thousands and thousands of children that have nothing in this world. Keep up the good work Lions of Udipi. You are the pride and you are the role models of the past, present and the future. “Dhanyawadh”.

We don’t have any right to question what two consenting adults do in their privacy. However, if there is any abuse, damage or violence, we have an obligation to look into and investigate the matter. In order to understand this modern, libertarian principles, you first need to stop reading the old book written back in medieval times by a bunch of tribal males.

This also explains why some folks never understand the idea of ‘sthala-sampradaaya’ (local tradition). I have seen some of these guys including joker Praveena Pinto questioning Udupi or Subrahmanya temple traditions without any understanding of how ‘sthala-sampradaaya’ works. I can’t blame him – After all, all he knows is how to look for an approval from distant headquarters!! LOL

There was no better strategy than to have people other than associated with the Bangalore Diocese to study the situation and propose a satisfactory solution to the gnawing problem which has prevailed for over forty years. The duly constituted trio like Emeritus Archbishop Thomas Menaparampil of Gauwati, Bishop Agnelo Gracias of Mumbai and Bishop Thomas Dabre of Pune were the best choice. I join several others faithful in saying kudos to Archbishop Bernard Moras for the trouble and initiative taken by him in his concept for an amicable settlement of the issue.

  • From drona on Bengaluru: Archdiocese finally finds permanent solution for long-standing language issue

    I wonder what Fr Cedric Prakash AJ has to say on this issue of languages. Prof Praveena may not have a problem with language from down South. He needs to visit Bangalore and see the problem there. The actual majority is reduced to a minority. Kannada speaking church goers end up taking a back seat whereas some Arokiasami will be at the altar. Of course there is always this allegation against the Mangaloreans who speak in Konkani but are a dominant force despite their smaller numbers compared to the Kannada speaking brethren. So what is the conclusion? Is it different strokes for different folks? Or is it that all are equal but some are more equal? Or is it ‘the senior amongst equals syndrome”? Incidentally Bangalore bandh is being observed today. This of course is to protest against the Tamilians who demand the share of Cauvery water. [Mekedaatu dam] Cauvery feeds the Tanjore delta which produces paddy. [Good quality] There should be some understanding between the Southern states in these matters and this matter also should be sorted out once and for all. Do we have to refer this matter also to the Vatican? Or is it just enough to refer it to the golden lady? Oops. That was before 16h May 2014 guys. Almost forgot.No problem though. Praveena can google and give some suggestion which he so readily does. God bless his spirit. [Of offering free unsolicited advice]

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Bengaluru: Archdiocese finally finds permanent solution for long-standing language issue

    Language is purely a mode of communication. Thru the benefit of the language we interact with people and survive day after day and exist and co-exist in our daily pattern of life. Language between a human being and the Almighty is something that is unique. It is the language of faith that can be any language so long as we know that we are communicating internally with God and satisfy ourselves that we have conveyed our daily message thru our faith, love and respect towards God. All our childhood days we have prayed within our home in Konkany, and we went to our nearby churches where the liturgical services were in Latin and the rest of the prayers including the homily was in Konkany. We recited Latin prayers and felt fully convinced that we followed the solemnity of the liturgy and felt strongly convinced that we interacted with God in every step of the way. While in America many times we have taken part in the liturgical services that were in Spanish and internally we still recited a language that was dear to us and known to us. We fully appreciate that in Karnataka State the language of Kannada will eventually dominate the liturgy, and our faith in God that is so deep will continue to prevail, and gradually we shall catch up with the Lords Prayer also in Kannada, hopefully before we move towards our eventually destiny.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: PWD Releases Rs 6 crore for Tannirbavi-Sultan Battery Suspension Bridge

    Every little connection either thru a bridge or a street, every extension and expansion to the existing roadways will pave way for progress in the mobility system of our life in Mangalore. Each and every highway has to be expanded, broadened and brightened with lights, connected with telephone lines with the help of more uniformed officers on the road to control the traffic, avoid any blockage and also avoid any misuse. Violators need be punished. Throwing of garbage and filth on the road should be forbidden, with a few rest facilities for people to take a break, if needed. With growing population, and also with growing youth with permission to drive a vehicle or a auto or a motor bike, there will be always an upward trend of traffic. Obviously these users of mobility will pay handsome taxes that should enable the planners to think big on the road systems and facilities. A small bridge connecting Tannir Bavi will be a small contribution in the right direction. Thank you, Mr. J. R. Lobo for your thoughtful insight.

  • From B. Dinesh on Mangaluru: PWD Releases Rs 6 crore for Tannirbavi-Sultan Battery Suspension Bridge

    “Hanging Bridge” is a primitive word and was used during medieval times. The appropriate name or type of bridge in this instance should have been “suspension bridge”.

This is the same guy who recently attacked Indian military and praised those terrorists in Kashmeer. Dear Shaikh, Before lecturing other communities, you may want to ask your peaceful brothers to stop cutting each others heads off !! Do you know why your community is behind more than 75% of the violence committed today ? Also, do you know why everyone caught in mangaluru vimaana nildaana is from peaceful community ? Are you going to blame police and military for catching criminals ?

  • From Richard on Panaji:R V Deshpande threatens action against Goan IT workers in Bengaluru

    An illegal hutment, is illegal anywhere in the world, irrespective of it’s occupants, whether people from Karnataka or Timbuktu. A person appointed in the Indian constitution should know this better. It’s sad that an educated politician from Karnataka should take a stand on revenge on IT professionals from Goa working in Bangalore, if illegal hutments are demolished in Goa. Whatever gives him the authority and the right to mean in his derogatory statement In fact, this minister should also follow the footsteps of Goa, and arrange to demolish all illegal hutments and shops in Karnataka. That would have better serve Karnataka, as illegalities breed corruption.

    Dear readers, Ironically behind the symbolic price reduction is fooling the common man by PM Modi’s government proportional to the International Brent oil. When Brent is at its peak $140/ barrel UPA is still sold petrol at current rate of PM Modi’s central government.Even though it has crashed to less than $60 at its current market price it never seems coming down seriously. The prices should have been came to its half with respect to the International pricing. It seems payback time for Ambanis who are key sponsors of BJP 2014 election campaign. ‘Sab Ka corporate ka sath,BJP ka vikas’.Minimum government maximum corruption Jai Hind

  • From O.E on New blood test predicts breast cancer years ahead

    The orthodox medical business has been promising and announcing to the public countless new “breakthrough” cancer treatments over the last century. Almost none are worth anything. And you can readily recognize it by the fact that the “war on cancer” has been, by and large, a total failure ( read the afterword of this article on the war on cancer: do a search engine query for “A Mammogram Letter The British Medical Journal Censored” or go directly to http://www.supplements-and-health.com/mammogram.html ). “Promising” cancer therapies are always only coming from the highly lucrative business of orthodox medicine (like the one described in this article), ensuring their great profits and wealth, whereas relevant inexpensive alternative cancer therapies get suppressed and eradicated by this big business cartel. No wonder many highly credentialed people call the orthodox medicine a mafia…

I was thinking that this young man was brought in for some minor mistake. But when Police man told me about this young man I was speechless. At the age of 21,He was dealing in LSD through a Austrian in Goa. What a daring boy He should be. Mr. Naresh Manipady, Your suggestion is good but Roy had to find a Honest Person to confess. Most of them are sinners themselves and cheaters too. It is like Sinners dealing with Sinners in God’s name.

Annapoorna canteen with their lovely special koorma, veg biryani, chappati made Sundays special. Sudarshan was OK for some quick bite. Shantala or Shanty as it was called also one place we frequented. Now Manipal has many places one can visit for lunch/dinner.

Students from this school went to clean Neermarga while leaving filthy their own school roadside. Here is a real ill effect of Swacha Pedamale. A dozen or so Students were standing near school waiting for Bus. At the same time a tempo fellow dumped some trash in front of these students. None of them cared a damn about it . Same school students went somewhere to tell others how to keep clean surroundings.

First of all you are celebrating the feast of Easter in a land where there is so much of close surveillance on all the religious activities, and now that you have one “Qutahm” and one “Ghar” which should all operate as discretely and as delicately as possible in order to maintain the privacy. Remember, I was in that great country for more than twenty years, and I have a great attachment to the people, the places as well as even the sand dunes and the pipelines. We want you all to work together and help one another, and most importantly understand each other by keeping the four walls of the “Ghar” and display the sign of unity by being one single “Qootaam”. “Dhev Bhoren Korun”.

    India is the 2nd largest exporter of beef, about 20% of the beef export in the world, second to Brazil. What kind of a national hypocrisy is this? The protein rich beef is forbidden to the citizens of India, but only for export. The hypocrite cow loving politicians must keep an old cow inside their posh mansions provided by the tax-payers and they must take care of the cow like their own mother, feed and give a bath; also must take with them when they travel as if taking their own beloved mother. When the electorate of India will get some sense to understand this political trick of the politicians?

    People have elected the globetrotter so that HE organises all the cleaning up. Isn’t that what Indian democracy all about? Cast the vote to the man with promises too good to be true. Now, unfortunately the globetrotter is too busy trotting the globe. He other half is busy changing the people at the top end, and perhaps handling the Press-Release-wallahs. The globetrotter had kindly asked Mr Siddaramaiah, (and not a BJP CM), to take charge of the rubbish removal. Mr Siddaramaiah, ever alert about the globetrotter’s many ploys, kindly refused. So let us see what magic wand the globetrotter will produce to do things that the previous Government could not. Until then, let us live in the mess of our own creation.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Fulbright Specialist Dr Lorna Gonsalves from USA to Launch 'Reflection Park' at Roshini Nilaya

    Establishing a “Reflection Park” at Roshni Nilaya under the expert Leadership of Dr. Lorna Gonsalves would be a marvelous idea indeed. The intellectual crop of Mangalore should be thrilled with this proposal and should therefore embrace this thought overwhelmingly with an all-out support. Interaction between faculty members of different Educational Groups in Mangalore does take time. Faculty members are little hesitant to come forward and express their views on so many issues that need be addressed spontaneously with an open heart because each Institution has their own internal policies and philosophies while sharing their ideas openly for public debates. Dr. Lorna Gonsalves however has selected the right Institution in Mangalore to expose the “Reflection Park”, and we are sure that both Dr. Jacinta D’Souza and Dr. Sophie will extend their best possible support. We were in Mangalore last year for the Annual Day of Roshni Nilaya where they brought a lady from the Mangalore University to be the key-note Speaker. The presentation that Dr. Sophie made thru an impressive power point presentation on the wide spectrum of Roshni Nilaya’s intellectual activities followed by the key note speech from Dr. Begum was highly admirable. Mangalore has the best substance to reciprocate all that Dr. Lorna Gonsalves has in store and you have our whole hearted support for this worthy cause towards Mangalore that will benefit from all around. God bless Mangalore, because thru the Educational foundation and support Mangalore will continue to flourish ‘ten-fold’.

This has helped in creating so much energy and talent in Dahskina Kannada region. However, I don’t understand their fascination with Raajasthan style ‘mundaasu’. This is very different from our tulunaadu-style Mundaasu. I hope they encourage tulunaadu tradition over Bollywood style. Oh well…

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!!

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

    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?

    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 ?

    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.

    • 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.

    Dayakar should approach Lions Club or Rotary and see if he can be helped with bionic legs. I wish him the best. Thank you, Govindraj

  • From drona on Mangaluru: CME in 'Palliative Care' Pertaining to Geriatrics by German Dr Frank Elsner at KMC

    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 Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: A 'Veiled' Attempt at Theft - Man Disguised as Woman Arrested at Ullal Darga

    Some of these medieval traditions need to be banned in 21st century. I am not against any dress code as long as it doesn’t hide your identity in public. Remember – these guys want to attend college and even exams in this attire!!

    • 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.

This cannot be called brainwashed– this is the real case of “brain crashed”!!” WHEN I SAY D K Ravi IS A GOOD MAN AND NOT LIKELY TO BE “HONEY TRAPPED” AS ALLEGED BY PRAMILA NESARGI, MR. MANGO IS UPSET AND FINDS FAULT WITH ME FOR HAVING PRAISED HIM! THIS, BY NECESSARY INFERENCE, MEANS THAT MR. RAVI IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO BE “HOMEY TRAPPED” AND THEREFORE NOT A MAN WHO WAS JUST AND FAIR TO HIS WIFE AND PARENTS. THIS IS AN INSULT TO THE MOST POPULAR GOOD HUMAN BEING, LATE MR. D K Ravi, IAS BY MR. MANGO. PLEASE BE NOT CRUEL TO THE SAINTLY MAN.

    Udupi: D K Ravi’s case – vested interests spreading Rumors of honey-trapping – RV Deshpande. BJP LEADER PRAMILA NESARGI HAD PROPOUNDED THE THEORY OF “HONEY TRAPPING” OF IAS OFFICER D. K. RAVI BY SIDDARAMAIAH GOVERNMENT. DOES SHE ALLEGE THAT IAS OFFICER RAVI IS PERSON SUSCEPTIBLE TO WOMANISATION? HE IS PERCEIVED BY THE 6 CRORES OF KANNADIGAS AS FLAWLESS, COURAGEOUS AND STRAIT FORWARD OFFICER. BJP SHOULD NOT NOW MAKE A DEVIL OUT OF A RECENT GOD OF THEIR MAKING. THEY SHOULD STOP THIS USE AND THROUGH CULTURE! THIS WOMAN PROPOUNDS HER THEORY AS IF SHE HAD CONDUCTED A STING OPERATION HERSELF! OR WAS SHE INVOLVED IN THE MATTER PERSONALLY! SHE IS PRETTY OLD TO BELIEVE SUCH THINGS!

  • 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.
