  • From Joe D'Souza on Travel on Pathetic Arya Samaj Rd Stretch is Akin to a Ride on a 'Camel’s‘ Back- Just Bumpy!

    Dear Alfie, find out who is the local Corporator yourself and tell the Residents to call Him as ask Him How Much He Wanted Under The Table. I know who He is and I dealt with Him few time but it was like Pouring the Water on the Rock where Nothing Grows. I wish Ms.Hapsibha Koralpathy should have been the Commissioner to trap these Crooks. What We have now do not take matters seriously. Most of the Gulf returns are walking on the that Road but none cares. Corrupt builders do not care because they live in their own palaces. Why are you banging Your head,let the locals take action. Corporators do not want to do anything on main road because they get kickbacks as per the interlocks laid on side roads. Also they get vote during next elections. This is the status of Mangalore Corruption Center.

  • From drona on Karnataka CM Kumaraswamy in 'pain' to run coalition government

    Cong I and JDS were booted out. Ku.my has started blaming Yeddy. Devu blames Rahul. Roshan Baig facing expulsion.Cong I became padinaaru Wayanadinalli in Kerala. Rahul left faceless and has to learn again to wink. Meanwhile the tukde tukde gangs will be booted out of universities. The siculars have wiggled back to their shells. From Nehru to Modi it has been a long journey. Amit Shah is the heir apparent of BJP in future. John Dyall’s of our country can buy Gelusil and also burnol. Ramya is missing. Kuch gadbad? Jokers like Mani Shankar Aiyar, Sidhu, Pitroda, and intellectuals like Tharoor are quiet. Kya baat hai? Chaar din se khaana nahin khaaya? Corrupt media was sold and writing paid news and thus got it horribly wrong. Did some one say emergency? If Fr Cedric Prakash SJ can ask himself a question and get an answer, he has to write an article ‘ Poverty to Progress in 10 years’. Good luck guys with tinted glasses.

Just a matter of time before Pitroda and other odours of Cong I start deserting the ship. What about the local haiwans and daactrena family? Did some one hear Poojary giggle at Kudroli?

    All these officials go to places where they get good money. Why the authorities allow these vendors to put stalls on the roadside while that area is supposed to be parking places. Also the corporation could use that effectively by converting these into paid parking instead of theae hawkers occupying the whole place and causing chaos for traffic and pedestrians.

  • From Alappa Bauli (A Kannada speaking medical doctor in Australia) on ತಂಬಾಕು ಸೇವನೆಯಿಂದ ದುಷ್ಪರಿಣಾಮ- ಡಾ.ಚಂದ್ರಶೇಖರ್ ಅಡಿಗ

    The conflict between the various governments and every health organisations around the world about Tobacco is sadly well known. Any one who has seen the British TV comedy series ‘The Smoke Screen’ would know what I am talking about here. The governments are addicted to the revenue, the tobacco industry adds to the state treasury year after year. This conflict is not going to be resolved any time soon. The lives of millions of people are on those who advertise, encourage and promote smoking. As many western nations have slowly come to realise the harm smoking does to its citizens, the tobacco industry is now targeting the masses of developing countries, mostly in the East. Like any successful campaign this problem can only be solved at the grass-root level. Each individual smoker should realise, he is not only damaging his health but his loved ones’ too due to passive smoking, this habit must end

    “We are all equal and we should never incite communal riots and hatred among different faiths” says Author. This kind of condescending talk aiming at Hindus is what resulted in complete downfall of Congress and its ‘vote bank’ politics. Can someone point out the state of minorities in middle eastern societies? The ‘communal riots’ are seen in countries like India, Sri Lanka and Maynmar as the local cultures try to stand their ground. Mark my words, very soon you will see communal riots in Western Europe as well. It’s time to wake up and smell coffee.

  • From Original R.Pai on Modi calls for removing fear among minorities

    In a constitutional democracy like India, it’s very important to remove any fear among minorities. However, when a minority community of Hindus were attacked and thrown out of Kashmiri valley, we failed to uphold these principles. The ‘secular’ parties and media outlets totally failed to confront religious bigotry of Kashmiri muslim. There is no justice to Pandits even after decades. This has negatively impacted secular nature of our society. Be it a muslim in Karnataka or Hindu in Kashmir, we need to protect all minorities.

  • From Original R.Pai on Believe It or Not? DK Voted for Modi, and NOT for Kateel, say Voters!

    For years on this portal, as some of the regular readers may recall, I have been telling everyone how anti-Hindu, minority-worshiping politics is on its way out to history’s dustbin. Remember – award waapsi, church attack,intolerance, black friday and other propagandists? Those groups started attacking Modi-ji from day-1. They thought the old tricks of smearing people of ‘saffron terror’ would work to their advantage. Remember the condescending remarks on Deepavali or Ganesha Chaturthi celebration? One writer was worried about noise pollution and its affect on animals. But he couldn’t utter a single word on a festival responsible for biggest slaughter of innocent animals. I was mocked and ridiculed as hindutva supporter, when I was simply pointing out the growing frustration among majority community. People are really sick and tired of being attacked and sidelined by communal parties like Congress, JDS, AAP and others. Indian voters, especially majority Hindus have sent a strong message for the second time to fake-secular parties and fake-secular media houses rejecting their dishonest narrative on social policies. I really hope that people stop being condescending towards majority community and start believing in mutual respect.

  • From Joe D'Souza on Simply Nataka! Why Everyone, including Netas Pray to God, ONLY When Thirsty for WATER?

    Dear Mr. Alfie, I am sure Water Tanker owners are praying God to delay Rain for few more weeks so they can build a fortune. Few Corporators are the owners of these Water Tankers, including Kadri Ward. Another Point I wanted to make for public benefit: They charge the Customers for full tanker of water but they carry back part of the water. I caught TWO Tankers while cheating, one customer is my neighbor. Part of the reason is that to empty the full tanker it will take time, in the meantime Driver will lose one trip to steal. So I request the Public to make sure the Water is supplied as per the agreement. Mangalore Corru.. Center has built many toilets where Water is leaking Non-Stop. But Authorities do not care even after informing. Look at the one, Mr Ivan Built with Tax Payers Money as part of Kankanady Bus Stand. Water was coming out from Toilet to open ground where Taxis are parked and Omlet-wala was washing His stuff. Tasty Omlet. Let all these so-called Religious Heads Cut more Trees to build Churches, Temples, Mosques, Schools and Hospitals along with Auditoriums. This action will bring more Rain. Mr. Alfie Your Concern along with Mangalorean.com may bring rain.

  • From Siva on Why Piles of Waste Still on City Streets, When There's Door to Door Pick-Up by AWHCPL?

    This is a great article. I hope every Mangalorean reads this and take action to correct their acts. If we look east, we have singapore and Japan and look west we have all the European countries, why can’t we devlop this civic sense? But we don’t need to look only at advanced and developed countries. Countries like Rwanda and Burundi are not the countries that would come to our mind as clean countries. But cities and towns in those countries are thousand times better than our cleanest cities. Why can’t we do it?

  • From Siva on Not Smart! Letting Sewer System Flow into Open Drain resulting in Residents Woes

    If Kamath says it is fault of Lobo it is wrong. Similarly anyone says it is th responsibility of MLA Kamath, that is also wrong. The citizens should be aware of whose responsibilities it is. It is definitely health office, MCC and Corporators who should bear the responsibility. MLAs and MPs should get involved only when the people with primary responsibilities fail. They definitely need to look at who failed and take the matter to the right level but fixing a drainage, fixing potholes, parking skirmishes etc should not be their primary focus but makign sure that drainage system in place, roads are properly laid with proper inspection, developing long term parking plans for the city etc should be their focus.

    I have also had the same experience a few weeks ago. When I couldn’t book online because of poor network, I had to go back to the extremely rude guy at the counter. But I put my foot down and he finally obliged. But I heard they were continuing this with the release of Avengers. I’m sure the consumer court can help in this regard.

    There are many drunkards, who work as porters or coolies in the day, and spend their nights on the Udupi Railway Station, and as well as other Railways stations all over the Indian cities, who tend to own these important Railway stations and junctions, and the authorities of the Railways do nothing to stop them. They will do anything for a quick buck and drink. Merely carrying out a security drill because of the Lankan blasts does not make Railway Stations and trains secure and safe – these must be secured at all times by some responsible and diligent authority, as the police are always busy with bandobast for politicians and their parties.

    Totally untrue. BJP has better ideas to take India forward to the future, unlike Congress. Congress has got nothing in its election manifesto. All they have is to shout Modi’s name 1000’s a day. I would have considered Rahul Gandhi as an opponent had he come up with greater ideas to lead India. Rather he wasted his time beating around the same bush, nothing but the Rafael deal. It is highly unfortunate that Congress just wasted all the precious time it had to convince people.

    Majority of these gold smugglers are Malayalees from Kerala, and they are not from Karnataka – so how does Mangalore become their homeland. These carriers are backed by rich people who have money, influence, and power to keep on carrying out smuggling in spite of all we read in the media – smuggling does not stop. There must be some good reason why these Malayalees smuggle from Mangalore Airport and not from the six international airports in Kerala.

  • From Henry James on Independence of Judiciary under threat: CJI  

    I love karma, especially the way it works. When cases after cases (which were blatantly false in nature) were being filed by a bunch of disgruntled wives in various courts in India (in order to get easy and quick money from their ATM husband), these geniuses at the top of the judiciary deliberately looked the other way. Instead of punishing those women for their wrongful accusations they instead made accused men’s lives miserable. Now let him live through this embarrassment. Only a couple of instances of stringent punishment to those who deliberately misused the law would have been sufficient to deter other wannabe gold-diggers from filing more fake cases. But these milords did not bat an eyelid despite having sufficient power at their disposal to do something. Instead they complained to the government for having lack of resources to handle the case loads mounting on various courts in India, while most of these cases have been frivolous and bogus in nature to begin with. Most of those cases were concoction of lawyers who had ill-advised those women. The lesson I have learnt in life is that when one is being treated unfairly by the system(or society for that matter), the best approach is to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and go with the flow, doing very little to get by. When you do that karma acts faster. If you try to do anything on your own, it only elongates your misery. At the end of the day existence abhors imbalance. You just have to give it a chance to act. Patience is everything in life.

  • From Krishna on Mangaluru will be Doorway to Karnataka under Congress – Ex MLA Lobo

    Liers. Where it is mentioned in Congress manifesto that Mangaluru will be made doorway to Karnataka? Congress is harping on expressway for more than 25 years! Except for Srinivas Mallya no other Congress politician has contributed to the development of Mangaluru. When BJP ruled states have implemented smart city projject Congress ruled states have shown very poor progress. It is well known fact that Congress ruling Karnataka denied the central government benefit of Rs. 6000 to farmers by not sending the list of beneficiaries. Look at a few of progress the country has made during last five years BJP rule at the centre:- Fiscal deficit 2013-2014 4.5% of GDP 2017-2018 3.5% of GDP Congress always borrow money from World Bank, Asea Bank etc and puts country under burden of debt irrespective of whether it rules at the centre, the state or at local muncipality level. Do you know how much money Mangaluru City Corporation has borrowed from international financial bodies? When BJP was in power in MCC it put all effort to bring down laon burden. Now again loan burden of MCC has gone up. Do Congress borrow money for development or corruption? If fiscal deficit goes down then in general inflation rate will also go down. Inflation rate in 2013 – 9.13%, in 2018 – 4.74%, in 2019 – 4.32%. Ease of doing business 2019 – 77th rank – business freindly country Congress 2012 – 131 2014 – 142 There are lot more BJP achievements during 2014-2019 rule at the centre like toilet construction, LPG supply to homes, rural electrification etc.

    I agree with and standby the DC/DEO, Mr.Senthil, decision not to shift the dates and create further confusion in the chaos known as “India”. My official records proclaim my religion to be Roman Catholic. Therefore, I assume I fall under the category “Christian”. I, hereby, declare that I do not know nor have I ever met this group of people who claim to represent “The Christians”. I have not given them any authority to speak on my behalf or to represent my views. Just as people belonging to a “religion” shun being associated with terrorists and their acts. Similarly, it should not be assumed that some people represent the thoughts/acts of all the people affiliated, by whatever means, to a/any community. I fail to see how Article 25 is being violated by the ECI. It should be remembered that this election is being held in 7 phases over close to a month all over India, so somebody somewhere in India is going to be affected in some way, or another, considering that India is a country that is “mad for religion”! Religion is a private affair and it should not interfere with public activities.

    I have fond memories of this house while my grandfather Sri M. D. Kini who happened to be a close Family Friend would visit the Family on important days in the year specially the New Year Day where we used to spend Quality time watching the Sea from the open porticos decked with rare artifacts. A perfect Gentleman Uncle Lobo & Aunt Louella were. A Glance up the stairs even to date which had some rare photos & Artwork all over the house with one of the best Furnitures in the right quantities not to forget the white colored Old Car which was Uncle Lobo’s favourite with Cliffy as it’s Driver. Great Family & Great Contribution to Society those Days

    Yes. Indian National Congress was standing as chowkidar for last 70 yeasrs not allowing poor to cross poverty line, move up and become rich. But the chowkidar Modi is busy pulling poor people up the poverty line and then standing as chowkidar to guard that they will no move down again! Yes. Modi is Chowkidar of rich!

  • From Purandhar Setlur on Rahul Gandhi takes injured Journalist to hospital

    And Nawaz Sharif, “Excerpt from the article, “LAHORE: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif facilitated release of his ‘orderly’ in prison on bail, ARY News reported on Wednesday. Sawar Hussain, a prisoner in Kot Lakhpat Jail, who was made to serve as orderly (personal help) to the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, was undergoing a jail term in a murder case.”: It is said that when two scientists meet there is jealousy between them as to who would discover or invent something first, but when two crooks; Sharif (BeSharif, former Pakistan Prime Minister and presently Pakistan Crime Prisoner), and Hussain (the late Saddam) meet; especially in this case in jail, there is camaraderie between them to commit together the next crime, perhaps in Indian Kashmir.”

    Lobo Prabhu used to represent Udipi constituency. George Fernandes also won from Bombay South and later Muzzaffar Nagar. They did not belong to Cong I. Fear of the main stream may be the driver of this psychosis. I do not think any right thinking Indian will waste the vote on a 50 y old adolescent.

  • From Melroy C.F.Fernandes on Inadequate Representation of Christians in Lawmaking Bodies both at the Center and States

    The article trips over itself and the author contradicts himself and his stated intentions. Indians who wish to better their life must stop thinking of getting their govt. entangled in their religion, caste etc.; all they ought to think of is for their govt. to provide them with “rule of law” , nothing more – nothing less(includes the best service standards of the police, the armed forces, the judiciary, the administration, common amenities).Period. As a citizen in a democracy we elect our representatives for the express purpose of making or modifying laws in sole conformity with the Constitution so as to provide us all “the rule of law” ( i am talking about laws as those acceptable in any civilized progressive society as commonly accepted in secular democratic republics all over the world and not those of psychopathic tyrants or religious fundamentalists) Religion is something private and personal and you don’t want the govt. involved in that just as you don’t want the govt. in your bathroom, bedroom and toilet. Separation of religion and state is an essential tenet of a republic. Tyranny of the “minorities”(self-labelled) is the corollary of the tyranny of the “majority”. The Constitution of India has adequate safeguards for all future generations including the past[ considering that the author himself could join the IAS(unless he got in based on some reservation and not his own merit), then he attained the post of CS by way of seniority (unless he attained it by other means ,e.g.: sycophancy), then he even became a minister ( perhaps he was elected by the people of some constituency unless he became a minister due to some other consideration)]. Well, besides him, as an ordinary citizen, I ,with a Roman Catholic name, have never ever experienced any discrimination whatsoever anywhere in India! The Constitution of India: Article 15. (1) The State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them. 16. (2) No citizen shall, on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, residence or any of them, be ineligible for, or discriminated against in respect of, any employment or office under the State. Right to Freedom of Religion 25. (1) Subject to public order, morality and health and to the other provisions of this Part, all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practise and propagate religion. 26. Subject to public order, morality and health, every religious denomination or any section thereof shall have the right— (a) to establish and maintain institutions for religious and charitable purposes; (b) to manage its own affairs in matters of religion; Protection of interests ofminorities. 29. (1) Any section of the citizens residing in the territory of India or any part thereof having a distinct language, script or culture of its own shall have the right to conserve the same. Right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions. 30. (1) All minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice. I recommend readers of this article to watch/read the below and make up their mind on their own about whether they wish to live in servitude – living off crumbs thrown at them by “saviours”, like the author proposes or whether they wish to live a life of dignity as a human being(irrespective of their “denominations “ and affiliations) and as sovereign citizens of this country not needing any favours from anybody. THEY WANT YOU TO BE POOR – a 6mins interview with Robert Kiyosaki a 6mins interview with Dr. Bruce Lipton Explains HOW WE ARE PROGRAMMED AT BIRTH abt. 29 mins interview with Walter Williams(author of “Up from the projects”), Economist, Professor, Thinker and Researcher. abt. 6 mins – Milton Friedman, Economist, Professor, Thinker and Researcher – discusses …….. the many ways government continues to tyrannize minorities. abt. 1 hr 30mins – Walter Williams – The Legitimate Role of Government in Free Society Read “Breaking free of Nehru – lets unleash India” and “Economics for children” by Sanjeev Sabhlok downloadable free from his blog.

    Alex Sir, why do you think Christians should vote for Congress always. Let them be open minded whom to vote for. Christians are educated and can understand political shenanigans. We prefer to vote for suitable candidate, without anything in return. Some people from previous thought processes think that only the Hand or Indira still needs to rule this country, and never upgrade their thinking or knowledge. Hope Christians come out of this vote bank politics and vote independently.

  • From Antony Sajeeth Simon on Election commission of India not just leaving voters behind but utterly confused - anomalies on the official website

    Dear Mr. Peter, Indeed a detailed note, thank you. Yes I do agree with you. I have experienced it myself. Ever since my child turned eligible to cast the vote I made it a point to get the Election card done. My first attempt was on 15th Jan 2019, uploaded the document and waited for a month did not see any movement of the file. on 21st Feb i called the toll free number and got to know that i had not mentioned my constituency therefore it was pending. On21st Feb I re-registered on the NVSP portal, was glad to see that the file started moving stage by stage within a fortnight the file had reached the last stage of verification, was expecting the card anytime parallelly wanted to check the status online, to my surprise i see the application status back to stage 1. Tried reaching the toll free number but of no use and all my call went unanswered had almost given up. But this morning after reading this article I reached out to 1950 was glad that my call was answered, the executive told me that due to technical issue the actual status is not reflecting online but the card it under process and would reach me during the 1st week of April 2019. No choice but to wait and hope my child get the chance to exercise her rights during this election.

    Mr Alfie, When I went to talk to Taluk Head Official regarding this problem along with other problems on premises, First Warning He gave Me that: “I Should Talk To Him In Kannada Only”. In few minutes while I was still there Same Person started talking to Someone on Phone Line in English. There I judged His ignorance. I have informed to MCC Official regarding this Trash Problem and He told me that He will take care of it. I have requested Mr Bharath Raj from Vijaya Vahini Paper to Publish this Beauty of Mini Vidhana Soudha,so that Citizens of Karnataka will get Amazed. Another highly Surprising matter is BJP Headman Mr. Monappa Bhandary has His Law Office inside the Premises along with many other Law Offices. In other matters He raises voice but He is quiet in Garbage Matter in front of His Office. There is a Rain Gutter in front of His Office with full of Garbage,including plastic. Another issue I wanted to bring to notice is Health Condition inside the Building. This Mini Soudha does not have Good Ventilation to Breath. Everyday Hundreds of Healthy and Unhealthy People gather there and breathing each others’ breath. Little Children are suffocating due to Low Ventilation. Smart City or ….City,public should decide.

  • From Joe D'Souza on Green Life Abused! Why Plant Them, If You Can't Water Them?

    Dear Mr. Alfie, this is another loop hole to rob Public Money. I was requested by a Control Room Policeman to look at the Plants between AB Circle till Pandeswar on the Divider. I did call Forest Dept.and got the answer: Contact MCC Office. I called MCC Office and the result was like Dog trying to Catch the Tail by going round and round. I kindly request You to Contact A good Social Worker to find out the Total Amount of Money Paid to Tanker Owners through RTI(Right To Information). This will expose the corruption between Tanker Operator and MCC Office. First Joke: Every Year Forrest Dept. is planting Plants between Baithurli(Kudupu) through Neermarga to Volachil on the roadside. At least past SIX Years I have been watching the Drama of the Forrest Dept. When I called about watering the Plants to Authority in this matter, very next day a tanker will show up. If not it will not show up. Half of the plant are already died. Second Joke: They Plant the Saplings close to Rain Gutters by the Contractor. Just before Rain Season,PWD Authorities give a JCB Contractor to dig the Gutters and prepare for Rain water flow. This JCB Operator will Drive Up the Machine on top of the Saplings and destroy them. This will make way for Sapling Planting Contractor to replant the Saplings following year. This whole operation is between Forest Dept. and Contractor as “You Scratch My Back and I will Scratch Yours”. In the past six years not a single Plant is grown to six feet height. I request the Good Social worker to do an investigation in this Matter. I kindly Request IT Dept. to investigate the Officials and Contractors of their Yearly Income above the Table and Under the Table. Also I request ACB to investigate this Corruption in the name of Envirornment.

No sooner they left the place looking neat and clean, people started to throw trash once again – what a pity and irresponsible behaviour. Instead of flower pots, they could have provided trash bins at various places so that people can dump their trash. Anyway, very good job and may God bless them all.

    Thank God that Rickshaw was carrying only 7 children. Almost I guess most of the Rickshaws carry at least 12 children including one sitting next to driver. Some time back, after the accident at Ulaibettu, Traffic Police were making sudden rides near school gates to catch the Culprit Drivers. It was a show for a short time. Now no one cares. Public eyes will open only when major accident takes place with many deaths. My kind request with DCP Uma Prashanth and ACP Manjunath Shetty to start Random Traffic Rides near School Gates in the morning time to save the life of Innocent Children. Mrs Prashanth and Mr Shetty, God will Bless your Children when You care for other Little Children. Thanks to all Traffic Police, whom I Respect very much.

  • From Richard Thomas on Snatchers & Our City? Beware of Money, Gold & Mobile Phone Snatchers on the Rise in Kudla

    CCTV cameras and any technology can never control or contain any crime, anywhere in the world including the most advanced country, the USA. Here are a few safety tips: What is really required for the people from the time one gets out from their home is to always remember: ONLY YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF! 1, Do not wear gold jewelry – instead, wear dress jewelry – In India, people have the tendency to wear gold rings on any or all fingers and a couple of gold chains. and think it reflects how rich they are! Men are no exception too! 2, Do not carry all your Credit or Debit Cards or all your cash with you- instead, some draw cash for a week’s expense and just carry at the most 5 x Rs.100.- notes in your wallet or your handbag for your daily commute or for daily petty expenses. 3. Always walk facing the oncoming traffic and on the right side of the pavement and not on the kerb – and keep your bag slung across on your should with the handbag to your left side with traffic moving to the right. 4. Do not travel in those packed buses that are not regulated by the Transport Dept. for maximum passenger capacity- it only encourages thieves and sexual perverts. 5, Do not stay out after 7 pm to avoid drunkards, drug addicts, and criminals who hang out at these hours and later. 6. Cell phones or Smart Phones are very pricey and sell like hotcakes! Technology can unlock or hack any password protection when stolen. Do not carry your cell phone in your hand to show off the brand or the model, as most people of today’s age do. It’s not safe in the eyes of thieves. 7. If the law cannot control, contain, and stop the menace of crime – no one can!

  • From Siva on Union Minister terms Rahul Gandhi 'hybrid', asks 'how does son of Muslim become a Brahmin'

    I think the way in which Mr Hegde conveys something makes people take it lightly. But What he is telling is heavy stuff and true. And I do not see why it is controversial. It is a known and sworn fact that Indira married Feroze, a non-brahmin. His son Rajiv, is a non-brahmin/non-Hindu by religion (culturally a Hindu, no doubt). Sonia is Christian. How can Rahul claim to be a Brahmin? How can he have any Gothra? None of this is made up. How can this be controversial? what is questionable in the fact cited here? Controversial is the claim by Rahul that he is Janeudhari (who does not know how to wear it). Even if he wants to claim that he is Hindu by faith, why claim to be a brahmin – Is he not furthering brahminical parochialism? Why the journalists are not saying anything about it but calling the truth as controversial? If anyone wants to criticize what I said, welcome but please do explain what I said is noot a fact and why?

  • From Richard Thomas on Union Minister terms Rahul Gandhi 'hybrid', asks 'how does son of Muslim become a Brahmin'

    DNA is a technical test that cannot identify if one is Hindu, Christian, or Muslim. Indian Politicians, in general, have nothing better to do than badmouthing one’s identity and character. It would have been better if they could reflect what their religion has taught them. Indians are first Indian and not BJP or Congress. God is not Hindu, Christian, or Muslim – religion is a principle for practising mankind, and irrespective of which religion one follows, all religions only teach to love, care, and respect everything and everyone that God has created on this earth. We must all learn to live in love, peace, and harmony. Bad mouthing only results in hate. This media should never carry such messages as news, as there is enough hate in India already.

    • From Siva on Union Minister terms Rahul Gandhi 'hybrid', asks 'how does son of Muslim become a Brahmin'

      The question was not about what religion Rahul is. But the question is about the claim that he is a Brahmin. He is Janeudhari. His Gothra is such and such. With that, he is referring to lineage and not faith, the Lineage he is claiming is a lie. If Rahul had said he is a Hindu, Christian or Muslim by faith, no one can and should question it and everyone has to respect it but here the question is faking his identity.

  • From Melroy C.F.Fernandes on 50 yr old Yakshagana Artiste Chandrahasa Hudugodu Collapses & Dies while Performing on Stage

    (1) WHO – Fact sheet No 258: Occupational and Community Noise , February 2001: Quote Prolonged or excessive exposure to noise, whether in the community or at work, can cause permanent medical conditions, such as hypertension and ischaemic heart disease. Unquote (2) WHO – Burden of disease from environmental noise – 2011: Chapt 2. ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE Wolfgang Babisch Rokho Kim Quote Epidemiological studies suggest a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, including high blood pressure and myocardial infarction, in people chronically exposed to high levels of road or air traffic noise. Unquote At least 3 Yakshagana artistes have died within the last 4-5 years. This is the 2nd death of a Yakshagana artiste on stage during a performance within the last 4 -5 years. In my humble opinion, as a lay person, these deaths may have occurred due to a combination of: heavily clad costumes not allowing any ventilation through the clothing; heavy painting of the facial skin not allowing sweating of the skin; exposure to very high decibel levels of the loudspeakers for almost 6 -9 hrs continuously during each performance; exposure to regular (at least 4 to 5 per hour)bursting of very high decibel fire-cracker bombs also for almost 6 – 9 hrs continuously during each performance; atmospheric heat (particularly between mid -Feb upto the onset of the monsoons in June) & high humidity levels; additional heat from high intensity stage lighting; fatigue from the increased numbers of performances (as compared to earlier periods of normality) ; fatigue from physical exertion during the performance; possible existent illnesses; lack of sleep. Therefore, I feel these performances must be conducted only inside an AC’ed hall with controlled temp and decibel levels. In the “modern” loudspeaker(LS) era, Yakshaganas can be heard upto 2 kms away – both the LS’s and the firecracker bombs. These bombs are so loud they can startle anybody and give someone a heart attack even at a distance of 40 ft away.

  • From Joe D'Souza on Mluru Flunked in 'Swachh Survekshan '19' due to Citizens Ignorance towards 'Swachh Mluru'?

    Mr Alfie, Look at the Garbage thrown on Roadside near Kelarai-Neermarga Junction which is Mayors’ Ward. Best Solid Waste Management going on that Spot. Solid waste is Re-cycled by Cattle in dozens. 1. Cows eat the Solid Waste thrown there along with Waste Food including a little bit of Plastic Too. (4 times I have removed Plastic from Poor Cows Mouth, struggling as Plastic stuck in between the teeth along with my worker’s help) 2 Recycling Result: After the process Cow gives Milk to Children to drink. Gives Cow Dung as fertilizer to Vegetable Plants. Look at the garbage behind MCC Commercial Complex, Look at the garbage inside Mini Vidhana Soudha where many Attorneys have their offices including BJP Head Lawyer. Another matter You should Publish as open Garbage Trucks Overload the Garbage and do not Cover. They spill part of it on the middle of the road while 2 wheeler follows them. Secondly, these Riders INHALE the foul smell and digest inside their Lungs. IS IT HEALTHY MATTER? Few times I have informed MCC Officials but it is like “Dog Chasing The Tail” Traffic Police are afraid to take action as it is MCC Matter and Corporators get involved. My request: Media should Question Health Officials and Environmental Officials regarding this and publish the results.

The dean made the announcement and walked out. “When KSOU Dean announced the list of students of Kannada, Hindi, English, Telugu and Urdu languages and asked them to get up, there was not a single student present which forced the Dean to walk away.” read report in the following link:

  • From Richard Thomas on 'Winds of Change Will bring Back Congress to Power-BJP will be Crushed'- MLC Ivan D'Souza

    Which party is chosen and elected is not the issue, the concern of every unbiased Indian citizen is to have sane and well-balanced personalities in each sector of governance and people’s acceptance and support. Right now, for the past 4 years, all Indians, as well as foreigners around the Globe, hear of Indian politicians and the two parties squabbling on a daily basis, justifying who did what and who did not during their governance. One has to live in peace and harmony in the present. Squabbling and blame-gaming only amplifies hate and division, which does good only to those want India as a nation to be a third-world country of the sub-continent! Most Indian citizens are fed up with all the bad mouthing and blame-game of all those appointed to run the country and of all the high scale Banking scams and Defence scams. Demonetization to end Terrorism, the introduction of GST to end multiple taxations and to introduce higher taxes on chocolates to cement and everything in-between to 28%, Introduction of another card called AADHAR mandatory for transfer bottled gas subsidy to a consumer’s bank account and thereafter to a call to GIVE UP SUBSIDY and thereafter to link AADHAR to avail everything except to vote! What every Indian need is good basic infrastructure and amenities, affordable living, affordable housing, good and affordable health care and Education to international standards, good and transparent regulations, availability of jobs, and sensible taxation – even in the USA, the GST is only 9 to 10% depending on the state including Chocolates and Cement and everything in-between.

    Also, Kadri Kamba road has many “narrow lanes”, where residents do not have decent road approach even in the 21st century. “Landlords” refuse to leave even small piece of land to construct a decent road. Sick, old people are literally carried on chairs, stretchers, etc. when they are unwell, as any 4 wheeler or auto rickshaw can not enter these lanes.

  • From Joe D'Souza on THAT'S NOT SMART? Kadri Kambla Road- a Road with Footpaths & NO Footpaths?

    Mr Alfie, there is a saying goes: Donkey Praises its own Tail. Area Corporator is busy on Traffic Circles to promote ……… . He knows that “If you feed the Cow, You get the Milk”. So He is feeding …….. to get the cream. This Corporator has created more problems then good to the public of the area. For Example, City Police East Traffic requested Me to install Barricades near Karnataka Bank to avoid accidents. At their request, at My Cost, I Installed 6 Poles to stop vehicles driving through Small Lane where little Children and Senior Citizen walk. Instead of appreciating, he questioned Me in front of the Public inside the MCC Building, Saying” Ninna Ammerena Jagena alpa Kamba Padere”. He went on abusing Me until I was ready to smack Him on His Face. Everywhere You drive, there is a chance of falling into the roadside gutter on Kambla Road. Look at the Car Wash Water flowing into the rain gutter in two places. There are Water wells close to this Gutter. Naturally, this Car Wash Water is sucked into Tankers through Pumps and Public are provided with this water. I have spoken to the Health Official and Environmental Official of the City. But it is like Spitting in the Air which falls on our face. There is also daylight robbery of Street Lights… . I told about it to Engineer Devraj, Commissioner Nasir including Mayor. It is like pouring water on Bulls’ Back. Just drive on Kambla Road and Pinto Lane and look at the Street Lights being misused with Tax payers money. You along with Mangalorean.com doing a great job for the Community pointing out problems and corruption. Please, I ask the Public to take serious action regarding this Street Light Robbery. Look on Arya Samaj Road too where a House Gate is lighted by Public Light.

  • From Joe D'Souza on SP Nisha James to form Special team to curb Illegal Activities including Sand Extraction

    Dear SP Nisha Madam,my kind request to you that Sand is coming from Adyar-Kannur area through Mangalore-Nanthoor- KPT Junction through Surathkal- through Udupi towards Koondapur. These Sand Lorries are travelling after 7 pm at the gap of 30 minutes each average. I have once contacted Dy.SP of Udupi regarding this and I hope He has taken action. Including this a Lorry driver threw empty Liquor Bottle to the road side in front of my Car. I stopped my vehicle and checked and name on bottles read Mysore Lancer. So that means He was drinking and driving too. Sad to notice that these trucks travel after Traffic Police leave the Nanthoor – KPT Junctions. There are few Kadri East Traffic Police are very strict but they cannot stop these Lorries in absence of ASI officers are present. This should be changed and given right to stop and check and take action. Or Drivers should be removed and sent to station for clarification and charged by inspectors. I am watching this misery everyday of my life, so also listening to the sad,difficult stories of Traffic Police East why they are handicapped to arrest. THE INVOLVEMENT OF CROOKED POLITICIANS are tying the hands of many honest and strict Policemen. Dear God please Help These Honest Police Officials and their Families. I Will Do.

  • From Joe D'Souza on Vehicles Parked Illegally will be Towed - Sandeep Patil

    Thank You Sir, finally some action is taken instead of Rs.100 fine. I was very saddened to see Vehicles parked under the “No Parking” Boards which are installed by Me at My cost for the kind request of Traffic Police. I am kindly requesting the new Commissioner of Police Mr. Sanjive Patil and DCP Mr. Manjunath and DCP Mrs.Uma to get tough with Multiple Stories Building owners to clear their Vehicle storage areas which are used for commercial purposes. Just look at near Sony Building near Tandoor Bar on Jail Road. Building Parking is rented for commercial purpose and vehicles along with Bar customers block the road after 7 pm. Plus large Luxury Bus belongs to SRS Travels Parks blocking road. Under Law no Bus are allowed on this road and this bus is there everyday without fear even after Traffic Police Warning. Take a look at City Hospital area and take strict action. At the request of Kadri Traffic Inspector Mr.Suresh, I have Installed 4 (four) ‘No Parking’ Boards. Today there is only one board left standing and 3 are missing. MCC Contractor hands are in this operation along with Politician. I request all non vehicle People who walk on road to call Commissioner of Police on Call in day and request the need. Traffic Police do their best if Public Supports them like I do. They have only 2 Eyes-2 Hands-2 Legs like Public and they need Help of extra Eyes,Hands and Legs. So Please Help.

  • From Henry James on Karnataka Congress, BJP in Twitter 'war' over pre-emptive strike

    Every politician has to be insincere from time time time in order to survive in politics. But this Yeddy is not only insincere, he is also an outright and incompetent fool. Time and again he proves that he is just not fit to lead a state party. He is an embarrassment to every citizen of our state. For that matter I consider Siddaramaiah and appa-maga or even DKS for that matter to be much cleverer in our political system. At least they do know when to keep their mouths shut. Up until the recent botched horse-trading, Yeddy’s stupidity was confined to the state and national-level politics but with this air-strike comment he has truly elevated himself to the international level. Buffoonery, nothing else. Perhaps the next time Modi retaliates terror-group aggressions in the Kashmir region, perhaps he should select one F-16 in Kamikaze mode, with Yeddy tied to the front, targeted to one of those terrorist base camps, effectively nailing two birds in one connie. The sad part is once Yeddy leaves the scene that will make room for another clown with his Rayanna Brigade. As I said earlier, BJP in Karnataka will be in shambolic disarray until these old f*rts disappear from public life.

    With all due respect, Mr. J.R. Lobo has been a very attentive and responsible person in authority during his tenure in MCC. Most, if not all, will vouch for what improvements he has brought about to infrastructure and amenities in the city and districts of Mangalore My personal opinion is that, Mr. J,R, Lobo has the right to ignore all that is said against him, just as those who do nothing and speak evil of others, have the right to criticize. People of all walks of life in the city of Mangalore should unite and be united and make Mangalore a clean city not only in environment but in mindset too.

  • From Richard Tomas on Only Promises NO Action by Officials! Trucks Spilling Fish Waste Water on Rd Still Continues

    This problem of any and every type of vehicle from a non-refrigerated truck to a moped transporting/selling fish should be brought to the attention of the local Fisheries Dept, (not that they are not aware of it) so that they can come up with some tough regulations in storing Fish on the docks, transporting Fish for local or export, and retailing Fish door to door. These regulations must then be legalized into a law, and the law must be first implemented at the docks (the source), where fish is brought in. The Fisheries Dept. should then be held responsible for ice water dripping from fish loaded trucks, tempos, and two wheelers. The high income generated from the wholesale and retail of fish should compel such traders to adhere to proper and hygienic handling and storage of fresh fish and in ensuring clean environment and the foul smelling fish water, that is truly a nuisance in Udupi and in Mangalore. Why bring in the Police? The mentality and mind set of the locals must first change to bring about a change.

  • From Richard Thomas on Catholic Sabha Udupi Holds Christian Entrepreneurs Meet 'PRERANA' 

    With due respect to, The Catholic Sabha members and the Bishop in their speeches emphasize that local men should not go abroad for lucrative jobs, and instead be in business locally and look after their parents, but certainly they know how much it costs to rent or own a small shop in Udupi or Mangalore and that the Mother of Sorrows Church owned Udupi Super Bazaar shops that generate a very good monthly, are rented out cheaply to 95% non-Christians. Moreover, what about the large donations given to the Church by these Gulf-based Catholics of Udupi and Mangalore! Nothing is mentioned by the Bishop on this subject. Perhaps, the Builder and Promoter, Mr. Jerry Dias, would be able to inform that to rent a shop in Udupi costs nothing less than Rs.10,000.- to Rs.20,000.- per month and to own a shop costs nothing less than 35Lakhs to 50 Lakhs minimum in Udupi or Mangalore. If a local Catholic who has this kind of money, then he need not open a business or work in the Gulf to look after his own family or his parents. He could instead live on a good interest income of 8% per annum generated by keeping his money in Fixed Deposits. Banks charge between 8.5 – 9.5% interest on loans and this is simply a trap that one will never be able to get out off with any business. Ask any businessman in Udupi or Mangalore and they can tell the Bishop how many hours and how much effort one has to put to run a business in Udupi or Mangalore. and just how much they earn end of the day and just how they profit after deducting all the utility bills, and staff salaries, and unbelievable taxes The Churches earn 100% profit without any cash investment from the weekly Tithes, yearly KAIDO, and large donations coming from gulf based Catholics. People do not have enough spending money in Udupi and Mangalore taking into consideration their monthly income, and the salaries in Udupi and Mangalore for 95% of jobs in shops and supermarkets do not pay much. Only 10% working in Banks, Udupi Municipality or other Government offices and the Insurance companies earn well. Udupi, in general, has a very poor economy and market because of the small population and lack of industries and job opportunities. The Bejapuris labourers are instead doing very well, earning a daily wage of Rs.450 to Rs.700.- per day cash upfront, with little overheads and expenses and no taxes paid!

If either of these was true, it is sad. Of course whom to be invited for the wedding is prerogative of the marrying couple.

Instad of cleaning what cntractors left, influential and experienced among the RKM volunteers can find out who the contractor was. Name them, Shame them and ask them to clear the debris. If they still don’t clear their mess, the MCC should clean it and collect the clearance charges from them. If they fail to give fine, those contractos should be banned from any contract with MCC. This should be a strict policy. Without such harsh measures, Mangaluru will not remain clean no matter how much RKM does One more thing: If public throw the garbage, they also should be cught and puniched well. Having said that I feel ashamed because Managlore is always considered as intellectual and inteeligent people. But looking at the mess we create, I seriously doubt it.

The Govt which doesnot care for its people for the full term, what can they do at the fag end. same goes for any party. we are normal citizens of INDIA and have never even voted for any party.

  • From francis lobo on Loading Garbage Trucks on City Roads is Unhygienic, Stinky & Creates an Eyesore!

    The author sees only the unhygienic way of loading of garbage bins. But misses seeing that the laborers who are working there are not wearing any safety equipment. They do not have shoes, Gloves. proper headgear, face masks or inhalers and they stay in the accommodation provided by the waste handlers which does not have hygienic facilities. Apart from this the people also do not know how to dumps garbage. Some people just throw the garbage on the roadside without proper packing or dump into bins.The laborers have to physically lift this material which may be 3- 4 days old and put inside the trucks. Let us first make sensitive the people who are working there and people who are throwing the garbage to do it properly with tools and tackles and also proper packing. The spillage on the road is an issue which can be cleaned. But then if the person gets infected or gets a disease it takes a longer time to cure and also expensive

    Those pelting stones should be booked for vandalism of Government property and made to pay for the repair of the bus.

  • From Richard Thomas on Loading Garbage Trucks on City Roads is Unhygienic, Stinky & Creates an Eyesore!

    Most of the Public Services and Utilities in India are not regulated and the public are not informed or educated on civic subjects, nor are the favoured Contractors specific educated or experienced or equipped. Garbage and Sewerage disposal is a serious civic concern of any country. Modern technology and modern living has quadrupled the garbage- wet or dry – due to prepared and packaged food and food packaging disposables. However, disposal management still lacks technology and infrastructure in India. Just purchasing a few garbage trucks and employing a few labourers does not call for a complete safe and hygienic garbage collection and disposal system. The State Government of Karnataka must look after it’s own state and it’s population and it’s infrastructure and amenities to a very high standard instead of bickering of who will govern and control and loot the public and the state, and which political party is better than the other. Examples and Education are of primary importance. Whilst the Indian government is spending millions of billions of Rupees taken from Indians in all forms of taxes to purchase the latest and costly hi-tech arms and armaments, that is not put to use in any form – peace or war, so should the people in authority in Karnataka State = source that technology and that equipment from those countries to manage better Garbage Collection and Disposal. The Municipality is quick levying a charge for Garbage disposal and collection but are not providing thickness approved plastic bags for garbage disposal to every household, and most household simply empty their wt garbage in a small plastic bin, that in turn is emptied in a big bin in a building and that in turn in dumped in a small open truck by the Garbage Contractor employees. This leads to stray cats, dogs, and rodents to these garbage bins and the foul smell and the disease it can spread. ALL PEOPLE AND ONLY PEOPLE MUST BE THE CHANGE AND AS WELL EDUCATE EACH OTHER, AND THE MUNICIPALITY EMPLOYEES MUST STAY FOCUSSED ON THIS SUBJECT AND SUPERVISE PROPER MANAGEMENT

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on 'ALOYSEUM'- a Renovated Unique & Pride Museum of St Aloysius Institutions

    What a magnificent place of collection of antiques and artifacts that have been carefully collected and displayed for the benefit of the public. Excellent location that will attract hundreds of visitors every day in addition to the visit to the nearby College Chapel, another place of unique paintings that have a proud display of history. All the students of St. Aloysius will be thrilled with two master pieces of Art and History that will enable the students to bring more visitors to their Campus and make the place more prominent than ever before. We shall certainly be there without fail on our next visit, and see how we can add some more items of antiquity as a small token of our contribution.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on 'God As An Artist & Creator' Renovated St Aloysius Chapel Paintings & Museum Inaugurated

    The Jesuits know the art of “Perfection”, and it begins from the spectrum of Education, Music, Sports and most importantly the selfless nature in performing what is good and beneficial for everybody. Mangalore therefore has been enriched with so many talents that has benefited the Society as a whole to a great extent. The College Chapel with some of the finest paintings from Bro Moscheni have remained safe and fresh for so long, because the place has been well maintained and preserved with utmost care. We took a tour of the Camp this year, and we were highly impressed with all the new developments that relate to not only Education but also various other short term and long term plans. The newly created Museum is certainly an added attraction. We were impressed with the wide variety of collections and antiques, and now from the recent photographs we even witness lot more happenings than what we had witnessed just a few months ago. The place needs further help and support, and we hope to spend much more of our vacation time at the College Museum next time. Thank you, Fr. Dion Vaz, Fr Leo and even Kavita, and many others, for all your new initiatives that will bring greater glory and fame for Mangalore.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Re-dedication of St Aloysius Chapel & Inauguration of Renovated Áloyseum' Museum on 16 Feb

    St. Aloysius College, in addition to the fine Educational expansion programs, is also proud to display their newly established Museum in a close vicinity of the famous College Chapel. Both these sites will become ever increasingly important for tourists while visiting Mangalore as tourists. The Museum is vast and specious. It treasures various antiques and collections that have great deal of history attached, and worth publicity so that more and more visitors can come to Mangalore and find their place of interest as St. Aloysius. We have lot more to offer to this valuable Museum, and hope to spend more time at St. Aloysius during our next visit to Mangalore.

  • From J F on OLA Taxi Driver Assaulted at MIA, 3 Arrested

    Just arresting would be useless. Their car permits should be cancelled and their license and badge withdrawn. That would be the most fitting action from the authorities. Rowdyism should be dealt with a heavy hand.

  • From Dr Anil Thomas on Why the anti-BJP Votes will not Automatically go to the Congress party

    The injustice to the Christian community other than kerala is quite evident from many years!! Even where there is a chance to nominate a Christian the Congress party hv always gone back. Even the Minorities Directorate and KMDC has no Christian employees!! In politics the fear of losing votes is the only way to get our share of things !!

  • From Prof. Dr. G. N. Menon on Kamala Harris confronts critics on her black heritage

    Senator Kamala Harris has an impressive record as a prosecutor, a district attorney and Attorney General in California. Her heritage should not be doubted. Her mother hailed from Tamil Nadu in South India and her father was Jamaican. To question these undeniable facts amounts to mischief mongering with intent to denigrate. More importantly, Senator Harris is an intelligent, personable, articulate, vibrant and electable candidate. Her first town hall performance in Iowa, chaired by Jake Tapper of CNN was very well received by the audience and by those who watched her on TV. She has many challenges ahead, one of which should NOT be the fact that she classifies herself as black in a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-religious country of over 300 million “immigrants” – the U.S.A.

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Carmelite history of 400 years in India is of Holiness, Love of God and neighbour - Rev Dr Saverio Cannistra

    400 years of Carmelite dedication in India was filled with prayers, sacrifices, charities as well as virtues that have brought new awakenings as to how and what Missionaries can offer to India, a nation of religious history that has created Busshism, Jainism, Hinduism, Islam, Christianity as well as Judaism. Carmelites have shown to this Nation how we can respect each faith and live side by side with dignity and respect for each other. The arrival of St. Thomas in India as an “uncrowned Ambassador” from Jesus Christ, followed by the arrival of St. Francis Xavier after 1500 years paved the way for variety of Missionary priests and nuns to the Indian sub-continent brought a new awareness in India as to how these foreign groups of Missionaries can create charitable Organizations by establishing schools, colleges, Universities, Hospitals, Orphanages and many other Institutes without indulging into any religious conversions. Carmelites showed to the Indian authorities during the Colonial era and even after the era of Independence that we all can live with peace and harmony and have our own freedom of choice towards our own individual faith.
