Welcome to MMGG!..
There is a passion in me today for Good Governance. I am committed to this noble cause as I have vast experience of having lived
in communities and worked for non-governmental sector for more than 20 years. My tours to different
parts of our country and also abroad have enriched me much. My forte however is organizing capacity building workshops
for various sections of the society such as NGOS, Youth, Children, elected representatives, etc.
The workshops have been greatly appreciated by one and all. It’s my sincere wish that citizen
groups, especially the youth and children of our community benefit from such workshops and feel greatly
empowered to live as strong and active citizens with knowledge and information which is so vital
for Good Governance initiatives. |

Bole To...
Munnabhai is happening and well, Gandhigiri too. Finally. The 'Lage Raho catchphrase setting Mumbaiyya fervor on fire. From Bandemataram to Bande-me-dam-hai… All very well. But have you, if you are a Hindi film buff, ever tried to decipher what all the slang words thrown in the film

If life were painted on a canvas, it would have been coloured by memories. Bright ones for those wonderful childhood days; fresh ones for the unforgettable teen years; gray for all those difficult times; sober ones for the responsible days of adulthood… And the most beautiful shade of them all would be reserved for those memories that demonstrate ones intimate bonding with the homeland.
BackTrack is a homeward bound journey to find those beautiful colours and catch a fistful of stars shining on the Mangalore horizon.

All in the Family

Events unfolding near or far have strong bearing in our day-to-day life. These things make us
change accordingly. But somehow our collective wisdom often guides us, what we ought to do for
the best of our society. However somewhere in midst of this entire conundrum sometimes we tend to
miss the real picture. But we as human beings have always learned from our experiences. If we
go by scientific evidence it seems to suggest that we can accommodate our body and mind to
any extreme conditions of nature and evolve. Vijay D'Souza is from Kanajar ( India )
and is currently based in UK. Through his column " The Way I See It" he wishes to
analyse issues in his own perspective as he is of the opinion that it is reasonable to
question the "present" and make amends than let it become "past" and repent.

Our Father Who Art in Heaven
By: Tanya Pinto, Canada |
 I always consistently find that it is children who ask the most thought provoking questions. During the prayer, "Our Father who art in Heaven", I heard one of the children in church in front of me, who could not have been more than four or five years old, turn to her mother and ask her "Who is the Father in Heaven?" Her mother informed her that the word
