Artistic Impressions!
I started sketching and painting at the age of 8 to 9 yrs and now at 27 yrs I consider myself as an artist who still has a long way to go. I consider art as a vast Ocean and myself as just an ordinary man with a tiny spoon

Information Is Power
Ramesh an educated (but not powerful) citizen goes to a government office to seek information on some of the development works undertaken in his area. He approaches an official and explains to him the reason for his visit. The official far from being courteous shouts at him in arrogance and refuses to

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.

Caribbean Islands – Cruising and Sightseeing
Caribbean Sea and the islands are popular destinations for travels during the winter months for people living in colder areas in USA. Going on a cruise ship and seeing these places offers opportunities to see a number of islands while at the same time enjoying the fine hospitalites offered by the cruise ships. My wife and I had excellent experience travelling with Holland America Line (HAL) a few years ago in Alaska and based on those pleasant memories, we selected the same cruiseline for this trip also. Holland America is one among the many fine cruise lines that offer numerous sailings in the Caribbean Sea

Union IT and Communication Minister Dayanidhi Maran resigned under strange circumstances and for once it had nothing to do with his integrity as Minister for the Union. The administrative committee of DMK sought his removal from cabinet for violating discipline and bringing defame to the party.

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.

 In a generation where most young children are addicted to computer games, chatting and such other activities, it's definitely a great feeling when we hear that someone still is interested in “pure entertainment”. The feeling gets even better when such an individual excels not just in one field but is definitely a multifaceted person. Today, we take great pleasure

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
