  • From naresh on In the Land of Coconut Trees

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

  • From B. Dinesh on In the Land of Coconut Trees

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

  • From Joe D'Souza on In the Land of Coconut Trees

    Dr.Maya Ahmed,I am sure that You are crying inside you looking outside. Wait for few more years and you will see no trees at all. Future Generation will suffer due to the Corruption of Elected and Government officers. Take a drive through Kannur Adyar area and see the Devastation of Rice fields. Soon Rice will not be there but concrete will be available. Corruption starts at Planning Commission.

  • From Anand Dsilva on In the Land of Coconut Trees

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

    Quite an informative article. It is a matter of surprise that despite these kind of alert articles people are seemingly not bothered about such things of importance and every now and then we get media reports on people being deceived even in DK district which is called as ‘Buddivanthara jille’.

  • From B. N. Pai on Mumbai: 'Wives of Shah Rukh, Amir Khan, Saif are victims of love jihad'

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

WHY, SERVING BEEF IN ALL THE HOTELS, INCLUDING FIVE STAR HOTELS, IS NOT BANNED BY THE BJP? WHY IN BJP RULED GOA PRODUCTION, SALE AND EATING BEEF IS TAKING PLACE WITH IMPUNITY AND THE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION OF THEIR GOVERNMENT?

RSS WANTS THE VOTES OF CRISTIANS IN THE STATES OF GOA AND MEGHALAYA AND THEREFORE THEY INDULGE IN PROVIDING BEEF TO THEM FOR VOTES!

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

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

    Forgotten Hero Bhagat Singh Remembered on Death anniversary. RSS and the Jana Sangh opposed, “tooth and nail”, the territorial exchange treaty by Nehru with West Pakistan in Panjab intended to get the territory of Hussainiwaal to India, where the Monument to Bhagath Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev are there. They opposed the acquisition of martyr’s samadhi then, but visit it now! THE PRESENT YOUTH DO NOT KNOW THE FACTS AND HISTORY, AND THEY THINK THAT THEY KNOW EVERYTHING. THIS IS THE IRONY WITH WHICH INDIA SHOULD LIVE WITH! THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW THE HISTORY DECIDE WHAT THE HISTORY WAS AND CELEBRATE!!!

  • From Richard on Udupi: Traffic Police Begin Drive to Crack Down on Loud Horns

    I am glad to note that the Udupi Traffic Dept. is finally cracking down on the use of blaring horns and unnecessary honking, especially by those private buses – City and Service buses. These buses are fitted with air-horns with high decibels that are actually blown to glory by these drivers, especially in residential areas. I have personally brought up this topic and as well as the topic of seat belts, 3 people riding on a motorcycle, driving on the wrong side of the road, over-speeding over the years in Mangalorean.com in the hope that the Udupi Traffic Dept. will read, analyze, and implement some checking

  • From B. Dinesh on Udupi: Traffic Police Begin Drive to Crack Down on Loud Horns

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

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

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