  • From Ex Sgt George A Borromeo on Mangaluru: Protest Against Yettinahole Project - Protesters Block Road at Pumpwell

    I was amazed to see the protesters from all the Religions and all the Political parties participated, including the Swamijis and Clergy’s. It is high time the ruling Government Ministers give heed to people’s sentiments and put pressure to shelve this project, otherwise next election they may not be able to reach Vidhana Saudha to occupy even the opposition chairs. Jai Hind

  • From Alban D Souza on Zaheer Khan set to retire from international cricket

    The Contribution to Indian Cricket is praiseworthy. Mr. Khan played and important role for India to lift the World cup cricket in 2011. After kapi Dev and Srinath Mr. Khan remains one of the great bowler India ever Produced. He is known for fast bowling (midim pace) and wicket taker who helped India to win many matches under the captaincy of Mr. Dhoni. Wish you all the best in your future career .

    Ms. Shweta Rathore, please accept my hearty congratulations and best wishes. It is nice to hear India doing well in any sports that has international stature, rather than just cricket, a colonial hangover. Who knows Sachin Tendulkar, Viraat Kohli and all other cricketers in most parts of the globe?

    Zaheer Khan wish you all the best. You did your best for the team and cricket (though I would not say for the country, because BCCI is not answerable to the Sports Minitry and, therefore, it cannot say that it represents cricket on behalf of India. BCCI is a secretive set-up.

  • From Anand Dsilva on Mangaluru: No Case of Love Jihad in District So Far, Confirms SP Dr Sharanappa

    Common sense. When I first heard the name ‘Love Jihad’ I could immediately sense it was coined and could not be real. Love and Jihad are 2 separate words with separate meanings and that too in a place like Mangalore what sense would it make for anybody to phrase this word.

  • From Mangal on Mangaluru: Protest Against Yettinahole Project - Protesters Block Road at Pumpwell

    Just three days ago, our dear Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji of the Pejawar Math received a distinguished visitor from Gujarat. Mr Adani. The same Adani who provided planes to the globetrotter before the Lok Sabha elections. The same Adani who has holding companies in Mauritius where tax is 3%. The Swamiji requested Adani to make sure that the thermal power plant of Udupi Power Corporation Ltd (UPCL) near Padubidri does not heap miseries on the locals. Just today the mega coal project of Adani in Australia (for which the globetrotter had paid a visit earlier) received the go ahead. Shortly the coal from Australia will find its way to Mangaluru port, heaped there in mountains, and then transported to UPCL by open trucks. Imagine the coal dust flying in the air! Coal dust is more dangerous than tobacoo – for all kinds of respiratory illnesses. The Mangalurean people will have no say on the matter. They will be compelled to breathe in the coal dust. Who will protest? The only protests we see in Mangaluru are either for religious reasons, or against the state Congress. Dear Mangalureans, you thought so far that roads, road-ethics and garbage were the major problems. Get ready for the mother of all problems – slow death though the coal dust, thanks to Adani’s UPCL!

No matter how good we are, accidents can happen if we are not able to respect these elements.

  • From Original R.Pai on Bengaluru: Social Media and Sick Minds - Journo Chetana Tirthahalli's Complaint to Police

    Clearly, the message posted by Mr.Gowda or whoever is in very poor taste. It’s quite clear that he is trolling her!! He may have some mental issue too. To be fair, I didn’t see any ‘threat’ in the message shown above even though the language and content is beyond nauseating. This is unfortunately the new reality in the world of internet and social media. There is no way you can police everyone. I think Facebook provides enough tools to screen posts before making them public. I would encourage everyone to use these tools to effectively block, censor unwanted characters. As long as there are no threats, I think it is a waste of time to spend resources to catch a mentally sick guy!

  • From Ex Sgt George A Borromeo on Mangaluru: That's Not Smart-Jaywalking on the Road when Footpaths Exist

    Why we walk on the Road ? Alfie tried his level best to explain about Jay Walking VS Mangalore Foot Paths. However I feel that habits die hard, after all we are care free people. We see our comfort first, forget about the hardship faced by others (Motorists). It is natural to crib that there is no foot path to walk, but if Foot path is present then we crib the suitability to Walk. If it is suitable, then we blame to our habits. After all we are complex creatures on earth. Jai Hind!

His concern about the spiritual well being of his Flock (FAMILIES) has been well appreciated. I am seeing the similarity of CHANGE brought in by our Pope Francis and Bishop Gerald Lobo in their respective domain. Hopefully the change sustains for the betterment of their flock or Families.

    Several decades ago I was one of the benefactors for an orphanage run by a friend, a very well known person in Bombay. I know ALL the challenges being faced by them, and I shudder to think of my biggest fear that these innocent children could be exploited by pedophiles and unscrupulous people in India and around the world. My heart goes out to these little children and I sincerely hope that I’m wrong, and these innocent children find a good loving home and secure a good education. Maneka and this BJP government will be fully responsible for any child abused.

    “A string of Indian banks have an exposure of nearly Rs.7,000 crore in loans to the airline, with the State Bank of India leading with Rs.1,600 crore.” – Report. I still don’t understand how this man can walk freely!! I wouldn’t call him a scam artist. But he is clearly a failed businessman with no talent whatsoever! The clueless Indian media had projected him as a genius when he was borrowing money to keep his failed airlines floating for a while!! He owes so much to airlines employees as well. Again, this is why India continues to be a third-world nation.

BoddappaNNA does not borrow money (not in the sense like other countries do). They SIMPLY GRAB it – hook or crook! Therein lies the genius!
      Why Is Henry Kissinger Walking Around Free?
      On September 11, 2013, hundreds of thousands of Chileans solemnly marked the 40th anniversary of their nation’s 9/11 terrorist event. It was on that date in 1973 that the Chilean military, armed with a generous supply of funds and weapons from the United States, and assisted by the CIA and other operatives, overthrew the democratically-elected government of the moderate socialist Salvador Allende. Sixteen years of repression, torture and death followed under the fascist Augusto Pinochet, while the flow of hefty profits to US multinationals – IT&T, Anaconda Copper and the like – resumed. Profits, along with concern that people in other nations might get ideas about independence, were the very reason for the coup and even the partial moves toward nationalization instituted by Allende could not be tolerated by the US business class. ————————————————————————-

      I don’t understand…….The clueless Indian media had projected him as a genius when he was borrowing money to keep his failed airlines floating for a while! – Rampa What have you EVER understood? But then, that’s never the point hereabouts! Let alone the the “clueless Indian Media”, ya Rampa! Just FORGET about your ENTIRE Akhanda Bharatha – a “3rd-world nation” – something which you NEVER tire of blabbering – thereby leading much credence to your Pradhana Sevaka’s statement – “Earlier, you were ASHAMED to be born Indians”! Ahem! Now, let us take a first-world country – aka – your beloved BoddappANNA. At the time Nixon was running for reelection and only the day before he wrote the note he appeared on national TV in the US and said the bombing was ‘very, very effective’. Richard Nixon privately thought that the bombing of Vietnam achieved ‘zilch’ despite publicly claiming that it was a success. A secret archive of the former US President has revealed that in 1972 Nixon thought that the air campaign which killed tens of thousands of civilians was useless. He wrote a note to Henry Kissinger, his national security adviser, which said there was ‘something wrong’ with strategy. The note from January 3 1972, was written on the side of a top-secret memo updating the President on war developments. Nixon wrote: ‘K. We have had 10 years of total control of the air in Laos and V.Nam. The result = Zilch. There is something wrong with the strategy or the Air Force.’ Other notes shows that Nixon, frustrated by the resistance of the North Vietnamese’ wanted to ‘punish the enemy’ and ‘go for broke’. Woodward writes that Nixon stepped up the bombing to ensure that he won the election. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3268661/Richard-Nixon-thought-bombing-Vietnam-achieved-zilch-despite-publicly-claiming-success-according-forgotten-note-written-1972.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/nixon-years-of-bombing-in-vietnam-achieved-zilch/2015/10/11/1c08a2f6-6f64-11e5-91eb-27ad15c2b723_video.html ——————————————– Lol….. how people have SELECTIVE memories once they are ACROSS the pond and are swimming in a fishbowl…. year after year…running over the same ground..(TY Pink Floyd). 🙂 And we haven’t even STARTED with the American riches post a land-grab, WWI/II….the blind-eye to Palestine, genocide in Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya etc. Pull up your Khakhi dhogla chaddis, bro.

        Somehow, our US-rejected, Saudi-returned Praveena Pinto is proud of blaming either Shree Narendra Bhai Modiji or Doddanna for everything. For example, my post was on failure of our judiciary system to punish rich and powerful while poor and weak are given harsh punishment. While this is true in almost all societies, it reaches an extreme imbalance in Bharatha as we see in cases like Mallya, salmaan Khaan etc. When I make this very valid point, he brings up Richard Nixon from 70s. LOL Unbelievable!! Nobody should be surprised by his inability to think rationally and respond with reasonable points. As I pointed earlier, this limitation is a direct result of biological and cultural factors. I have been working with him on regular basis to minimize the damage.

I was commenting on your needless jibe – “useless Indian media” and often-failed cliche – “3rd world country”! And then, I asked you forget about it for reasons provided by you – “lousy… 3rd world”)! In contrast, I brought out dear old Nick from the 70’s – and what was published (by the American media – as told by to them), & the truth about good-old Nick. And then, Rampa reacts – OUCH (Oh no! Just Standard Operating Procedure or SOP – just like a cat on a hot tin roof! 🙂 And never mind the fact that the US media is top-notch & straighter than a straight-line and the country in question is a 1st-world one, and the time-frame was the 70’s! And the umpteen + 1 times when our beloved Rampa brings in a 7th century book – even when discussing cartoons on Cartoon Network – no problemo! Unbelievable? Better believe it! This is our Rampa from across the Pond. 🙂

His sincere failure to be logical and rational in his responses is a true tragedy and part of this should be blamed on his foreign masters for creating a culture of ignorance in certain quarters of our society!! He simply can’t comprehend the difference between a failed foreign policy and failed a domestic institution.

WHY are you in the land of my alleged “masters”? After all, THEY CREATED a culture of ignorance! Ya ya…. go on….agree to my rebuttal as to why humankind is the ONLY species to migrate for BETTER FULOOS and a lifestyle! (No rebuttal on THAT! poor Murugam Pai!) 2. Are Indian “masters” no lesser manipulative? So why JUST blame the “clueless Indian media”? Isn’t the bigger game to blame for lesser stuff? 3. What is the L x B x H of your ample RSS chaddi? I thought it was soooo accommodating’. Sadly, it doesn’t! And why are academics tossing their awards in Modi’s Khanike Hundi? 4. Any rebuttal on the ‘posse’s’ formed by the RSS chaddis way back in INDIA….vis a vis in the lands of your NEwfoundland? Rampa…. Do some HW. And revert.

Unfortunately, all parties are guilty of this – Yettinahole project will go on and mangaluru will have to learn how to live with less water in in nethravathi. A good lesson for mangaluru city folks who are notoriously known for ‘vote bank’ politics!!

    Very interesting story – being a cold weather here most of time here in Toronto, I can’t dream of having such a beautiful terrace garden like Blany. But nice to enjoy the write up by Dsouza and the eye-catching pictures. Congrats Blany for a unique concept in gardening. Thanks mangalorean.com for sharing Blany’s hobby.

    Pathetic situation of overseas workers of India and Minister of External Affairs Sushma swaraj busy globetrotting behind Modi like where you go I follow. Indonesia government earlier decide it will stop sending new maids to 21 countries, saying working conditions in those countries are prone to violations of legal and human rights, and that salaries are low. Philippines and Sri Lankan embassies step in to advocate on behalf of their nationals working in Lebanon. A Modi’s government is just concern about the repatriation of foreign exchange from the poor workers. A long way to go improve the conditions of domestic workers abroad. Jai hind

    Fully agree with Author – Death penalty should be abolished in every civilized country. -Atheist Mr.Original Pai Sir,Is Modi’s India and BJP is civilized or uncivilized? The BJP blamed previous Congress government for protecting Ajmal Kasab feeding Biriyani.The RSS leaned Maharashtra Governor,administration and Judicial worked dark through the night to award death penalty to Yakub memon on his birthday.Afzal guru is hanged to satisfy the BJP collective conscience. The hanging of Afzal Guru is a stain on India’s democracy http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/feb/10/hanging-afzal-guru-india-democracy Now another five Muslim fugitives of Mumbai train blast have awarded fabricating the case by physical threat waiting President to sign and stamp, who kept 9000 similar penalty under the carpet and followed the quota system. Yes!India should abolish death penalty,to protect the pogrom of ‘Godhra’,’Muzaffarnagar’,’Babri Masjid,Samjhauta express,Mecca Masjid,Margao blast conspirators to scot free.They will continue to remain silent to reap the reward by bringing action reaction theory,so the puppies will be accidently crushed under his motorcade. They will lynched even for practicing food habits and break their silence to say ‘mann ki baat’. Jai Hind

      You are correct. Many NGOs are chocked now including some big names. The Indian Government got some stern warning from other Governments about this double action, so the BJP Government will be reverting the decision. Now trying to snatch the orphans. The BJP would be delighted to start the “devadasi” system in all the Temples in India, which is being practiced in some States even today. Those are very advanced system of culture, civility and democracy. India is now flying at the supersonic speed in the cultural advancement bypassing the western world. The Foreign Minister is now appealing to the NRIs to land in India to clean the dirty rivers starting with the holy Ganges, appealed at her visit in Maladives, from the land where they eat a lot of beef; the sinners land. Can we fathom the depth of advancement in India since BJP came into power? Someway, Varun Gandhi after his marriage to a girl who was graduated from the St. Stepehn’s college, keeping quite and disappointed. He may be feeling terribly bad and sad in the game plan of Mr. Modi and the Gujarathi clique to wipe off the Gandhi name from the chapters of India. Since he has studied at one of the best Universities in the world, the London School of Economics, he will get some sense one day to read the writing on the wall.

    Dear readers, Among the two pictures posted with this article includes a BJP student ABVP sticked bill on the walls and scribbled the organisation name in red. Does PM Modi ‘Swachh Bharat abhiyan’ is ignored by its own youth cell or it the campaign is merely photoshoot? Where are all those BJP cadres who are showed up with ‘Jaddus’? Thanks to mission at least one day the citizens don’t need to walk looking on the floor. All these effort is merely waste if there are no awareness about civic sense. You can’t sell betel leaves and ask the user to wipe the wa.Cigarette or Bidi and ask the smokers to lift the butt.You can’t stop selling chewing gums and ask the chewer to put it in trash. What Mangalore desperately need is its falling image from pub attacks,morning mist,love jihad,moral police and cow chase. If there is no peace in the city cleanliness for whom? I appeal to the Ramakrishna mission to focus on this areas before going all out efforts cleaning only find the piles accumulated next morning. jai hind

      shAIKH mOHD rizwan : “I appeal to the Ramakrishna mission to focus on this ……” Ramakrishna Mission had Ramakrishna Parama Hansa and Vivekananda as the great teachers who did not differentiate between humans as Hindus and non-Hindus. Vivekananda declared the food habits of Vedic people in general and Brahmins in particular and admitted about their beef eating for food. (not limited to yajna or yaga only as claimed by the “educated” uneducated) he Mission is aclaimed world over for its liberal religiosity and secular dispensation. BUT, ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY HAVE FOUND A NEW GURU! FOR THE FIRST TIME THEY LEARNT ABOUT THE “VIRTUES OF BEING CLEAN” AND HAVE BEGUN TO SWEEP, WHICH RAMAKRISHNA PARAMA HANSA AND VIVEKANANDA HAD NOT TAUGHT THEM! GURU MODI DID IT. JUST LIKE THE NEW FOUND TOY WITH WHICH THE LAD PLAYS ENSCONCED IN IT IRRATIONALLY TILL IT GETS ANOTHER DIFFERENT TOY, THE MISSION NOW HAS THIS NEW FOUND VIRTUE TAUGHT BY THE GREAT GURU, MODI.

    Human life should be protected, respected and treasured. Why is any Dharma being bought into the picture? The State should protect the most vulnerable in our society, by allowing them to remain in the care of those who are more trust worthy. Handing over a child over to single, separated or divorced people is highly questionable and I concur with the arguments of the Missionaries of Charity. Why can’t Maneka figure that out?

    I have been following Maneka Gandhi’s life from the time she married Sanjay Gandhi. She is a stupid person. After marrying Sanjay Gandhi, her spouse became the de facto king during the emergency period. She used to accompany him everywhere and though her spouse was not a Member of Parliament, he was accorded VVIP status and once Rajiv Gandhi, having commandeered a flight and landed and was returning home, had to wait for a long time for Sanjay and Maneka Gandhi’s motorcade to pass by before his vehicle could proceed. One should read THE RED SARI by Javier Moro to know more about her. The first time Sanay Gandhi brought Maneka Gandhi home, she was over-awed by the surroundings and when Indira Gandh met her and enquired about her, she was all at see while answering. It appears that at least with Indira Gandhi, she cut a sorry figure. I am told that her foundation pays money to all those who take care of stray dogs and cats. I presume one person that I know is a recipient of her foundation’s largesse.

So, why is he so quiet about the Sangh’s beef with Beef? As our ONLY living (in a land far far away) polymath – Sir Rampa, cons himself, do you think that the RSS will die a “natural death” if the ‘perceived threat’ disappears?

Sir, when ex-prime minister Vajpayee wanted to oust this very Modi from the chief minister’s post of Gujarat for indulging in Godhra and post Godhra and to up hold “raja dharma”, Advani crookedly saved him, but to be amply rewarded by “the treachery and deceit of the saved to the saver” !! Likewise, the RSS wants to destroy the very concept of reservation by reservation itself, I.E. by providing “reservation to all”, virtually undoing reservation itself. If benefits of reservation is “given to all”, does the concept of reservation hold any water? it is like giving monetary benefits to the rich by declaring all to be poor!!! BUT HARDIK PATEL IS NOW DOING TO RSS AND MODI, WHAT MODI DID TO ADVANI!!! EXACTLY AS MODI UNSEATED ADVANI, HARDIK PATEL TOO MAY DO THE VERY SAME TO UNSEAT RSS AND MODI!!!

Muslim rulers of this country tried all their best to convert this to muslim country by forceful conversions, destroying temples but hindus did not let it happen. In pakistan everyday temples are destroyed but here they talk about demolision of 1 babri masjid..which is the birth place of our Lord Ram, if it was in pakistan hindu temple would have demolished overnight and no media would have covered it.

      Since www.mangalorean.com has not given the opportunity to readers to express their thoughts and views on unrelated topics, I am writing on this forum as a response. Please excuse me. I am a person who tries to be unprejudiced in my views and expresses my views without fear or favour. In fact, I stopped a person who got an offer from taking up employment in Saudi Arabia. I simply told him that Saudi Arabia is not a right place for a professional, a broad-minded person with liberal views and live-and-let-live attitude, but the right place for people to earn livelihood, if they are enslaved to vices like gambling, women, alcohol or one is a thoroughly orthodox, conservative and ultra-conservative or lacks zest for living, apart from work, cooking, eating, praying, going to answer the calls of nature and shooting-the-breeze. I have lived in Saudi Arabia and while I was in Bahrain, I got another opportunity to go to that amazing, mystical and enigmatic place, but I told the prospective Saudi employer a BIG THANK YOU and GOOD BYE. He was just amazed, because I declined a generous offer. So far, the best book that I read about Saudi Arabia was “THE PRINCESS” written incognito by a Princess of the Saudi Royal Family and on 07th October I began reading “IN THE LAND OF INVISIBLE WOMEN: A FEMALE DOCTOR’S JOURNEY IN THE SAUDI KINGDOM” by Dr. Qanta A. Ahmed, M.D., a certified pulmologist and sleep specialist. This book is 561 pages and has small print, but worth reading. In spite of its incredible wealth due to oil, this country has an ancient/medieval mindset and somehwere on the Youtube I had learnt that Saudis are the second laziest people on this earth. Though Saudis lack the grey matter, though much intelligent than Pahans, they tend to be proud, arrogant and perpetually feel that with money they can buy anyone and break the laws of the countries that they visit or are in. For example, the furore created due to a senior diplomatic official having good time with Nepalese servants in Gurgaon/Delhi.

    People of the past were illiterate and uneducated. They believed in many things. The religions that sprang up were built on such blind beliefs. The notion of strictly two genders – male and female – is no different. The religions made it a sin to even let such people practice what was bestowed upon them by nature. To the great fortune of the human race, a few thinkers in liberal countries of Europe in more recent years disagreed with the wrong notion of strictly two genders. The liberal countries formulated laws to not discriminate against the sexual minorities. The Christian nuns must look at the example set by Jesus. Jesus must have been a very liberal thinker. He never excluded anyone from the ‘kingdom of God’. Everyone was welcome! Pope Francis has openly been very inclusive of gay people. Unfortunately for the people long set in their ways, the Pope’s message has not trickled down. Possibly it never will. So, the nuns in question here are living in the ignorant past. But does this mean that the minister or the Indian government are great? Possibly not. The British Crown started administering India in 1858 (abolishing the rights of the East India Company Ltd after he mutiny of 1857). Within two years, the Crown came up with the IPC that declared, among others, that being gay is illegal. And, ever since, every Indian of every description is bound by this all-powerful IPC. IPC may be ancient, but it is still alive and kicking on every conceivable matter – including the illegality of gay life! In 2013 the Indian Supreme Court needed to pass a verdict on the matter, but ended up upholding the ancient beliefs! The Indian Government believes that respecting gay rights is not Indian culture. So, both the Indian Government and the nuns are sailing together.

Hence, in the interest of these children the government should rethink its policies.” Sir, for Modi and the RSS cows are more important than the orphaned children. Go-Shaalaas would be set up in those premises. Sisters of charity would be replaced by Svayam Sevaks to look after the cows. Money would be supplied by the government for such Go-shaalaas in every village and the Svayam Sevaks would be given unlimited funds, for cow is god.

    Can the law be constitutional if it infringes on the religious beliefs of the sisters? Maneka Gandhi, judging from her history, cares more about animal welfare than childrens’ welfare.

  • From Jay Menezes on Mangaluru: 'Cycling makes you Fit, Young and Healthy' says Pro-Rider Donald Menezes

    It gives me immense pleasure and happiness to see a lazy person like Dony waking up @ 3 am in the morning and cycling to glory!!! I have known and seen you for at least a couple decades living a sedentary lifestyle. Now, can’t believe 8 months of cycling has made you a star not only externally, but internally as well. I’m aware, any cardio related exercise pumps more oxygen into the body that helps in healing the body by generating beneficial chemicals such as serotonin and endorphin. you have just begun the process of reversing the aging process and have shown people that age lies only in the mind and the body will just follow. You’ve have shown the younger generation that they can achieve whatever they want, if they are willing to pay the price. As the say goes “nothing comes for free, everyone has to pay the price. Don’t worry about breaking and making records. enjoy the ride to glory. It’s a pleasure to know that Manglorean.com have made my brother a motivated budding cycling star. Also thanks to Kishan my good old buddy for standing by him with his great support, grit and motivation in kicking my brother’s ass in pushing him to the limits. All the best to both Dony and Kishan. You’re the living example to the current generation heading towards sedentary lifestyle.

  • From Original R.Pai on New Delhi: Missionaries of Charity may shut down 13 orphanages

    If you criticize a Hindu organization doing the same, you are a brave secular fighting against right-wing ‘moral police’ brigade. If you criticize the same rules when practiced by a a Christian organization, you are almost immediately a bigot who hates Orphans getting a good life!! LOL This is why it’s a waste of time to reason with self-hating community!! smiles… Read the following report to get a clear picture: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/10/09/447191942/mother-teresas-missionaries-of-charity-says-no-more-adoptions-in-india While these Charities are doing a great job of helping Orphans, these individuals are unfortunately influenced by religious dogma. They openly discriminate against singles, divorced, couples where one of them had a divorce earlier and homosexuals. This incident reminds me of Kim Davis in Kentucky, US who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples resulting in a huge controversy! As our society gets more liberal, these religious guys are going to find themselves in a more and more awkward position. What’s more unfortunate are the intellectual dishonesty and ignorance displayed by individuals like Roy and AS Mathews who don’t think twice before attacking people purely based on religious dogma taught by their masters. Sad and depressing but very true!!

    • From A. S. Mathew on New Delhi: Missionaries of Charity may shut down 13 orphanages

      Mr. Orginal R. Pai, the budgeting of the Women and Child Development undertaken by Menaka Gandhi was reduced to 50% in the budget by Arun Jaitley, she went to see AJ to add more to the budget but no good result. If the orphans are adopted by cruel minded people from broken homes, what validity it has for the false promise of the Minister that they will check about the safety of the orphans? You can find fault with me and Roy, that is your freedom of expression; but please remember that the double acting of the BJP Government would be severely questioned from many quarters. Like the recent BJP fascination with the cow deity and discarding the human beings, Meneka Gandhi’s real love is for animals; no love for human beings and orphans. So, trusting her word would be the biggest catastrophe, the adopted orphans by weird minded people.

        Nice try, AS Mathews. Now you are changing the subject to annual budget after I pointed out your religious bigotry. Is this report on annual budget or the refusal to follow the new guidelines? Who are you fooling? Let me ask you this – Do you support the new guidelines to allow singles and divorced people to adopt children?

    Dear readers, What can one expect from union Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi, grew her own son who openly swears Hindu holy relics Geeta to chop Muslims hands?How can we expect something from Minister who says ‘Terrorism Being Funded by Cow Slaughter’,? The Government of India has cancelled licences of around 9,000 NGOs for violating Foreign Contribution Regulation Act. Most of the banned on IB reports that said NGOs as a ‘threat to national economic security’. Why IB and other agencies for keeping a mum on the foreign funding to saffron organization which uses the money for political purpose and creating fissures in the society? How can single, separated or divorced people,who can’t keep their own love together will provide love of ‘Father and mother’? Jai hind

Despite the tropical and humid hot weather it’s amazing to know Blany’s interest and love for horticulture, it is a great pass time as well. Obviously, Blany is gifted with a ‘Green Thumb” so whatever he plants thrives well and bears bumper fruits. Congratulations to Blany, your hard work is bearing plentiful of fruits which I am sure is appreciated by Mangalorean.com readers as well as people in your neighborhood. It is incredible to know that you do not use pesticide repellent instead Tulsi plants are shielding the vegetation from insects. Thank you for sharing and hope many will follow your great example to enjoy home grown veggies.

    Government might have allotted the land for public burial or crematorium in Nandi Gudda. How ever Majority Christians have their own Cemetery and Muslims have their own Al-Dafin place in Mangalore. But Nandi Gudda is a place synonymous to Hindu Religion, since our child hood. It is wise that our Muslim brethren must not insist an allotment within this area. While building their Mosques they should have provision for the same. Can we imagine Hindu Rudra Bhumi adjacent to Muslim Cemetery. Why Mangalore North MLA Moiddin Bawa is advocating or supporting their demand?? Has he not responsible for North Mangalore Constituency????

    Very good decision by Chief Minister regarding Ambulance overtaking. At this time I wanted to ask a question to CM. Is it alright for a Ambulance to carry little Children to School. I have noticed few times regarding this Ambulance Van Service. A) Ambulance carries many patients with spreadable disease. B) I have closely watched Children eating food with their hands which were touching the Seat where Patients slept. C) Ambulance driver turned on blue light when He reached behind me and I let Him go. But close watching found out Children inside. D) When contacted School,their answer was that it is not their responsibility of what is happening outside school. (Their only responsibility is Collecting Donation from Parents outside the School) E) When contacted the Hospital of this ambulace,their answer was if the Children are mine. F) When contacted RTO,their answer was that they will look into the matter.But They said Ambulance is not supposed to carry. But as usual sweet deal worked out and Ambulances still carry. So I like to know the opinion of Educated Public in this matter and also action for safety of Little Children.

    Maybe the high court has not been made aware that the road is incomplete at several stretches that include Bykampady where the traffic moves at snails pace.

If the learned judges or their reps are made to travel on this road I am sure thet will reverse the judgment.

      By the way, what is your full name? By just mentioning Praveen, you complicate things – because there are countless Praveens on this globe, scattered all over. Can you tell me what is your full name and from which place you hail from? – Mr. Nelson Well, so sorry I have to reply under a diff topic. But then, our Rampa has been deluding EYT with his jokes… so much so, that your question has been buried under an avalanche! Anyway,….Well, who is ‘Praveen’? Hmmm.. Well, our Original R. Pai or Rampa (I wonder why that ORP didn’t “complicate” matters for you), THINKS that he knows me THE BEST. I mean, just take a look at his words to describe me – Joker, Aanganawadi student, aadu jeevitham, beedi jeevitham, I get ‘Bhagna Swapna’ on account of my allegedly rejected Yumreeki visa….. All the time, I wonder why our Yumreeki Rampa is venting out his OWN life’s frustrations by pushing his frustrations to my account! But then, never mind that, sir. He gets his jollies in life by doing that and hey, both India (although we had to FIGHT to be free from the Brits) and Yumreeka (although the immigrants had to ‘literally annihilate’ and/or imprison the REAL FREE inhabitants… work slaves to death…. fight amongst themselves etc) are both FREE countries! So let him vent out his frustrations? No skin off my back! My name is Praveen D’cunha and I hail from Mangalore. Anyway, that is never important. I’m just an ordinary Indian bloke who has stuck around in India (oh, for reasons BEST known to our Rampa, of course!) 🙂 Anyway, to get to the point – I would like to draw your attention to the propaganda spewed by the Chaddi’s from RSS and how they go about rewriting history – and that too for kids! So, please read the foll very carefully and revert. http://www.outlookindia.com/article/testtubes-in-hastinapur/291554 Over to you, sir.

Just as Hitler created the awe with organisation and movement of the Nazi-youth,in the same way, they seem to awe the society with the organisation activities of Sangh on the Military pattern.Just as Hitler held that only desedendns of the ‘Aryan’ race could be citizens of Germany,in the same way the leaders of this party maintain the view that only Hindu can be citizens of Bharath.As they do not believe in caste system by birth,according to them if Muslims and Christans regard themselve Hindus,have names,accept Hindu dress and customs,they can also be include amongst Hindus. As they have already achieved two goals in this regards, now shifted their efforts on Hindu rashtra converting 2020 the entire country will be Hindu and 2030 the entire world will be Hindu.

    An Open Letter to RSS Chief – A Prayer for you Mr Bhagwat
    An open letter to RSS Sarsanghchalak, Shri Mohan Bhagwat on why a Hindutvadi should not be the Prime Minister of India http://www.academia.edu/1259993/An_open_letter_to_RSS_Sarsanghchalak_Shri_Mohan_Bhagwat_on_why_a_Hindutvadi_should_not_be_the_Prime_Minister_of_India As RSS has missed the golden opportunity project freedom fighter in India’s freedom struggle behind Mahatma Gandhi.They have no other option by injecting their ideology in government machinery namely Governor,Chief Minister’s,Defence,Doctors,lawyers and now police to continue their influence and maintain iron grip. It was as if the tap of violence could be turned on and off for achieving specific political goals.This is the single reason communal violence cannot be rooted out and ‘Love jihad’,’beef’ remains contentious issues.

  • From sHaiKH moHD rizwan on Mangaluru : It's Blany D'Souza's Terrace! No, it's a Paradise..

    Dear readers, The wealthy island city of Singapore with an area of 710 square km and a population of 5 million, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. With most parts of the island’s land utilized for urban development, the remaining 250 acres of farmland is hardly sufficient to feed the growing population. As a consequence, more than 90 percent of Singapore’s food consumption is met by imports from over 30 countries. This dependency on the external world makes the country highly vulnerable to turbulence in food supply and prices. In making this goal of a food self-reliant Singapore a reality, Entrepreneur Jack Ng, with the help of Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA), has come up with one of the world’s first commercial vertical farms. This soil based vertical farm produces one ton of vegetables every other day and is five to ten times more productive than a regular farm. So back in India the BJP ruled Maharashtra, the farmer suicide toll has already touched 66% of the 1,981 cases recorded in the entire year of 2014. The figure has also crossed the 1,296 cases recorded in the state during the 12-month span of 2013. BJP which dig out Pawar ‘model’ to curb farmer suicides by loan-waiver will not end the miseries of farmers in Maharashtra today had no ‘Charar’ argi oriented beef ban.The issue of farmer suicides in Karnataka is being politicized by BJP using ‘Raitha Chaitanya Yathre’ rather than providing solution to the state. I appreciate the Mr.Blany D’souza for green revolution in his own backyard.Modi government rather politicising the issue should learn from this individual and success of singapore. Jai Hind

    IF THIS LOVE JIHAD IS SO CALLED CONCOCTION – THEN WHY THE MEN WHO MARRY HINDU GIRLS DO NOT GET CONVERTED TO HINDUISM INSTEAD OF CONVERTING THE GIRL TO THEIR RELIGION. OR WHY CANNOT THEY DECLARE THEY STAY PUT WITH THEIR OWN RELIGION IN SPITE OF MARRIAGE? WHAT IS THE NEED FOR CONVERSION? AFTER ALL ITS “LOVE” AND UNDERSTANDING WHICH IS ATTACHING ONE INDIVIDUAL TO OTHER AS PER THE EXPERTS!! CAN ANY ONE ANSWER WHAT IS THE NEED FOR CONVERSION?

    http://www.ndtv.com/karnataka-news/crops-destroyed-for-rahul-gandhis-karnataka-rally-and-a-controversy-is-sown-1229268?pfrom=home-lateststories For Rahul Gandhi’s rally in Karnataka on Saturday, crops have been cleared before harvest from an area the size of roughly three football fields. A stage is being put up in farm lands near a village in Ranibennur in central Karnataka. Maize grown on four acres of land reportedly belonging to one farmer has been destroyed. Among the voices of criticism is that of noted historian Ramchandra Guha, who tweeted today: “A poor farmer in Karnataka loses valuable cropland to a stage built for Rahul Gandhi to come and go.” Many have pointed at the irony that Mr Gandhi, the Congress vice president, is to meet the families of farmers who have committed suicide after failed crop due to drought. Actor: Rahul baba failed miserably.

YOU NAME MODI, WHENEVER AND WHEREVER YOU WANT TO STEAL THE CREDIT FROM CONGRESS AND GIVE IT TO RSS!

If I haven’t even ATTEMPTED to apply (let alone go and apply), where does the question of “didn’t get his visa” arise? The poor simple-minded fellow – let us not berate him too much, sir. Because, after all – his state of well-being and happiness is of great importance to me. (Hint: I have sold off all my entertainment systems after I got addicted to Sir Rampa’s Jokes). 🙂

            @ Pincode Pai is hilarious. Now he blames me for things I didn’t say!! One should wonder why he often reaches this level of delusion in response to my benign post on a positive thing that Bharatha has achieved over years!! Unsurprisingly, his behavior can be perfectly explained based on the fact that he is held hostage in a remote cell with no windows. Sanity is the first thing that flies out of those non-existing windows when you are given a single-point agenda and forced to post false things on daily basis!! Sincerely feel bad for him. @ Joker Pinto wants a proof when he provides plenty on daily basis!! LOL Look at the amount of ‘dwesha’ he spews against Doddanna while trying hard to ignore a common thread that binds all the incidents at vimaana nildaana!! His aadu-jeevitham experience seems to be driving every post on this forum. Oh well…

  • From Original R.Pai on 'Love Jihad', the reality!

    Alright – I tried to read this ‘report’ and I have a huge headache now. Well, at least, I tried!! Also, what’s up with all the Hindi conversations reproduced verbatim instead of giving English translations and directing readers to videos? Simply by these two observations, the report already looks very amateurish!! Shazia Nigar, the ‘reporter’ behind this ‘investigation’ was a journalist who worked at Tehelka!! It says it all!! A huge red flag when it comes to overall credibility of this report. Can someone provide me links to any of the articles by the same author being critical of other right-wing groups or terrorism? I couldn’t find any! Smiles… The report reads like an amateurish blog with selectively edited, chosen conversations from different individuals followed by highly biased opinions by the reporters. At times, it gets very confusing with all these things thrown around in a random fashion!! This is second red flag seriously questioning the motive and credibility of this report. Third – Whenever an organization is accused of doing things, the publishers of the report should give them a chance to respond. Did these reporters approach RSS/VHP or the individuals involved in this ‘investigation’ for a formal response? I couldn’t find it in this report. It’s a good journalism practice to present all sides. Fourth- Both Gulail.com and Cobrapost claim to be fighting against injustice and corruption. However, it’s quite clear that they are fixated on only one person – Modiji. There is a lack of objectivity in their coverage – Readers can take a look at those sites. Also, it appears that they tried really hard back in 2013 to derail Modiji’s campaign. As we all know, it didn’t work. Most importantly, this ‘investigation’ has totally failed to prove what it hoped to achieve. It doesn’t debunk the fact that all these cases involved Muslim men marrying hindu women. In fact, in some cases, it admits how these muslim men were already married!! Moreover, it doesn’t address an important question I have been asking on this forum. How many non-muslim women marry Muslim men as compared to the number of muslim women marrying non-muslim men!!!

  • From Praveen on 'Love Jihad', the reality!

    Hello RampaNNA, I MUST agree that this article was TOO short. But then, there are reams and reams of names involved here. I wonder if our Original Rampanna will bother to copy-paste the names given here and then call his posts as “superior” while following his self-ಶ್ಯಾಬಾಶಿ’s with some names for me, Shariah Shaikh, Roy, AS Mathew etc. – which ACTUALLY suit him the BEST? But then, all this brotherly advice is lost on our Rampa. It is like a bouncer from Glenn McGrath sailing over some tail-enders helmet. AFter all, the tail-ender – who is say 200 times out 100 – is a bowler and can always say – “ಹೆಲೋ… ಯಾನ ಕಾಲಿ ಒರ್ಯೆ ಬೆಪ್ಪ ಬೌಲೆರ್ ಮಾರಾಯ!”. Or, will he say that is an ISI plot? Or, hey.. it could be the Somali Pirates FISHING just off the “contiguous zone”, in which area a state could continue to enforce laws regarding activities such as smuggling or illegal immigration? Or is this Edward Snowden’s LATEST trick from Russia or wherever he is – for his continued well-being? And well, as always, we can’t rule-our Kim Jong-un, can we? Sir Rampa….some soopi.. soopi… superior analysis on this, plz! And hey, don’t forget to call me some names too and follow it up with a smiley to add some space to your perennially empty posts?

He also has great ideas that will turn Mangalore into cycle friendly city. I wish him all the best, good luck. He is a great asset for Mangalore.

    Konkany Natak Sabha is a name that brings so many memories of the childhood. The ticket cost was about four annas. Some of the last seas were just sufficient. After the theatrical show was over, going home by foot in lonely road from Don Bosco Hall to Jeppoo needed a company. The bus service was closed after 9 pm. Those were the days to remember and rejoice. Those were still the happy days.

  • From Roy on Udupi: Protection of Cows should be Beyond Religion and Caste - Pejwar Swamiji during ‘Go Sammelan’

    from Sudipto Mondal The polarising events of those years propelled one man from the region onto the national stage – the seer of the Udupi Pejawar Mutt, Vishveshwara Theertha Swami. A disciple of the second RSS chief MS (Guruji) Golwalkar, the soft-spoken pontiff, now 84, is seen by many as the man who laid the foundation for the Sangh in Coastal Karnataka. In 1969, Theerta organised the first ever state-level conference of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad. Golwalkar was the chief guest at the event, which also saw the participation of many Congress leaders of the time. Four years earlier, in 1965, the then Mysore Maharaja and founder President of the VHP, Jaya Chamrajendra Wodeyar Bahadur, had organised the third national executive meeting of the outfit at his summer palace. During an interview at his Bangalore ashram on Wednesday, Theertha recalled those days fondly and said, “When he came to Udupi in 1969, Guruji praised me in front of 65,000 people for helping the Mysore Maharaja with the national executive meeting.” He said that before the 1960s, the Sangh barely had any presence in coastal Karnataka. “Cows were being slaughtered by thousands but nobody was speaking out against it. That’s when we started the VHP to take up this issue seriously.” Police records from the 1960s show that it was a period when a series of attacks were launched against Muslim cattle traders. The years of the Emergency added further heft to the VHP with many Congress and even some young Left leaders joining its ranks. This was also the period when the VHP started spreading its footprint to other regions of Karnataka such as Hubli-Dharwad, Raichur and Bagalkot. But for some, even the VHP was too soft. By the late 1970s, the Hindu Yuva Sene took on the responsibility of cow protection in the coast. This group made way for the even more militant Hindu Jagarana Vedike in the 1990s. And the Gujarat riots of 2002 allowed the Bajrang Dal to replace the Jagarana Vedike to spearhead the Hindutva movement in coastal Karnataka.

    Dear readers, No city in India can be ‘smart’ if there is no awareness of civic sense first.It can’t be called ‘smart city’ if there is no liberty to talk,right to eat what they want. The city is still rubbish if there is no0 “peace, tranquility and brotherhood”. In no sense Mangalore can be ‘Smart city’,which is already maligned its name international media with ‘pub attack’ ,’Moral police’,’cow chasers’,’Assembly porn session’ and ‘public lynching’. Unfortunately this is called intelligent peoples district which failed to elect competent leadership and curb the social menace. Jai Hind

        There is no freedom of press in almost all Muslim countries and no freedom to eat any thing he wants. Can a Christian be able to buy pork in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan? – Joker Mangu Please don’t follow in the steps of your chaddi-dost called Original RampaNNA, yaar. Please do some PROPER searching (called Googling) before you put your foot in the mouth. http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/01/06/22203369-fine-french-food-in-the-heart-of-pakistan-just-no-pakistanis-allowed http://www.meat1.com/pork-meat-suppliers/indonesia.html http://www.expatwoman.com/oman/monthly__Pork_6579.aspx

        Probably with the exception of Saudi, pork is available in almost every GCC country. Forget about alcohol. The POINT is dear Mangu, EVEN though both Pork and C2H5oH is banned in their religion, they do NOT impose restrictions on others! Contrast that with the maha-jokers in India. EVEN possession of Beef is a non-bailable offence in Maharashtra! Just imagine this scenario: My Mother-in-Law’s sister in Law packs some Beef for me as i travel by Vishal Travels or Jet Airways to Mumbai. Some customs fellow (say – Gopinath Deshpande or GD) runs my ‘parcel’ back and forth under his scanner. GD: Yeh Kya hai Beh? Me: Saar….. mera MIL ki SIL ne mereko thoda sa Khana baandhke diya tha. Dekha nahin. Sirf leke aaya. GD: Dekh saktha hoon? Me: saar.. kyoun sirf dekne ka hai? thoda taste bi kar lijiye na? GD: Andhar aao… GD tastes my MIL’s SIL’s package and says – “Arre… ye tho Beef hai. Kisne banayi? Me: saar.. bol diya na.. mera MIL ki SIL ne… Lekin aapko ye kya hai kaise maloom hai? GD: yaar.. kaao to Jaano. Baar baar….ye bahut TASTY hai. Sab khali kar doon kya? Me: Haan ji… jee barke kaalijiye. GD: Yaar.. this is FINGER LICKING GOOD. What and ALL they are talking about Kasargod Fried Chicken! But, kripya mereko aapko ARREST karna padega. Me: Ayyo! Kaiko, Gopinath Saheb? GD: Bewakoof… don’t you know – The newly amended Act makes possession of beef a non-bailable offence, punishable with imprisonment which may extend to one year or with a fine up to Rs2,000? Me: But saar… aap ne mera poora dabba katam kiya. GD: Bewakoof…..act no. XYZ, 19xx…. I was talking SIRF of “possession”. Not about act no. ABC, 19yy on CONSUMPTION. They have to catch me with consumption naa….” Chalo chalo… Arthur Road Jail jayenge….. ——————————————————————- Kuch samja Bacchu?

  • From sHaiKH moHD rizwan on Bengaluru: Rape case - Seer fails to turn up for medical tests

    As you rightly pointed out, the Nirbhaya case took place in Delhi. What was wrong in holding state govt responsible ?-Atheist Mr.Original Pai Sir,Delhi is neither a State, nor a Union Territory. It used to be a full fledged Union Territory till 1991, when the 69th amendment of the Constitution gave it a special status. The amendment declared the Union Territory of Delhi to be formally known as National Capital Territory of Delhi. A system of diarchy was introduced under which the elected Government was given wide powers, excluding law and order which remained with the Central Government. The actual enforcement of the legislation came in 1993. Police stays with the Center, and hence most of the Law and Order. The NDMC, which is the municipality for New Delhi stays with the Center as well. In case of any laws which the Delhi assembly is going to pass, if there is a contradiction with the central law, it looks like the Central law has more weight. Public Works Department (PWD) is with the Delhi Government, and also the Anti Corruption Bureau. However now the ACB doesn’t have the jurisdiction over the Delhi Police and DDA, but, Delhi High Court didn’t think so – HC raps cops for questioning Anti Corruption Branch’s powers. Although LG has to listen to the CM and the ministers and if he’s not happy with that, he has to go to the President. After this he would have to do what the President says. However there is a catch that if there is some urgency, he might take the decision on his own. However, before this, a detailed discussion with CM and ministers is expected as well. In other words Gujarat during 2002 heinous crime against humanity 3 days of relentless ‘Godhra’ carnage happened right under the noose of CM Modi’s administration. He is the the first Chief Ministr in the history of India interrogated for ……. His ‘puppy’ and ‘baby making factory’ is well recorded which can be held against him. Whereas in the case of cow loving swamiji the government of Karnataka acted and referred the case to CID probe. However in the first time in the history of India RSS leaned governor sought medical report of the accused from ruling state government. Did Governor of Rajasthan and Haryana ever sought report when Asaram bapu who was on run for murder and rape or in the case of CBI Charges Sirsa Cult Leader for Murder and Rape or Baba Rampal terror ashram? Why the Karnataka state opposition BJP is not calling for immediate arrest of culprit swami and forcing the judges to recuse through RSS pressure? How does ‘Nirbhaya’ rape is different than rape swami disciple? Is Modi’s ‘Selfie with daughter’ won’t call for thorough investigation and stringent punishment of rapist to protect the dignity of women? Jai Hind

The yettinahole project will go on and mangaluru city will suffer in the coming years.

  • From Y. GOPALAKRISHNAN on Mangaluru: Participate in Smart City Project and Get Rs 1 Lakh Reward - DC Ibrahim

    The Smart City proposal should highlight the core Social and Cultural identities of its people in Dhakshina Kannada and also propose as to how these identities will continue to be retained even as we turn our cities Smart.

  • From Y. GOPALAKRISHNAN on Mangaluru: Participate in Smart City Project and Get Rs 1 Lakh Reward - DC Ibrahim

    We need to critically understand the Eco sensitiveness of Dakshina Kannada region while framing policies for Economic sustainability. On the industries front, we need to set up Eco-industrial parks that promotes manufacturing various green products to meet our country demands. The purpose of an eco-industrial park is to connect a number of firms and industries to work together to decrease their environmental impact while simultaneously improving their economic performance.The components for building an eco-industrial park include natural systems, more efficient use of energy, and more efficient material and water flows. Industrial parks should be built to fit into their natural settings in order to reduce environmental impacts, which can be accomplished through plant design, landscaping, and choice of materials. The landscaping of the buildings will include native trees, grasses, and flowers, and the landscaping design will also act as climate shelter for the facility.

    Building smart cities will require close interaction between the government that represents the civil society, urban planners, project developers and technology service providers.

  • From Y. GOPALAKRISHNAN on Mangaluru: Participate in Smart City Project and Get Rs 1 Lakh Reward - DC Ibrahim

    Cities which already have 3 core values of LIVEABILITY, WORKABILITY and SUSTAINABILITY are potential cities to become Smart Cities when Digital technology is integrated into city systems. Mangalore already has this 3 core values in moderation. All it needs is to frame policies that allows to scale up these 3 core values, as this city is expected for a rapid growth in the coming future. Following are the Bench marks in achieving these 3 core values. LIVEABILITY : Clean city. Healthy living conditions with minimum air, water pollution. Minimal traffic congestion. City services conveniently available any time any where. WORKABILITY : Good transport connectivity. Good built environment. Good data connectivity comparable to global standards. SUSTAINABILITY : Provide services without damaging or stealing from future generations. Through digital technology the city gathers data from various smart devices and sensors embedded into Power, Water, transportation grids, buildings and other assets. It shares that data via smart communication systems wired or wireless. It uses smart software to create valuable information and digitally enhanced services. Some of the enhanced services for example include emergency response centres, city security control centres, smart power grids, smart water grids,which provide citizens detailed information to help them to reduce their bills and smart transportation that uses the power of computers to optimise travel through out the City.

    VISION STATEMENT If Mangalore is to become ” The Smart City ” one thing it should demonstrate, is that it will care for the liveability, workability and sustainability of all people, it will care for its environment and it’s larger bioregion. It’s activities should be ecologically sustainable rather than exploitative.

      Sharia Paditha, Again, you are not making sense. As you rightly pointed out, the Nirbhaya case took place in Delhi. What was wrong in holding state govt responsible ? The same way, you should hold state govt responsible for not getting tough on Raghavendra swamiji. Why are you blaming modiji for the failure of state govt? Are you really this bad in logic? No wonder that there is zero contribution to science and technology from your tribal belt starting from Morocco to Kashmeera.

  • From A. S. Mathew on Death Sentence should be given for slaughtering cows - Hukum Singh Chawla

    Mr. Modi won’t allow any meat in his Royal Air India 747 but only the vegetarian food specially prepared by his Gujarthi chef. However, Mr. Modi loves to hug the rich and powerful beef eaters of other countries, also loves to visit the beef eating countries of the world. Usually, the Prime Ministers and Presidents of other countries won’t hug, but the fatherly figure Modiji has hugged the beef eating U.S. President, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckenburgh, the Australian Prime Minister etc. For hugging these beef eating sinners, what kind of restitution Mr. Modi has to undertake? The beef eaters are the worst sinners of the world, eating the meat of mother cow God; that is worse than cannibalism. The glorious days of India has started indeed!

  • From sHAIKh moHd rizwan on Bengaluru: Rape case - Seer fails to turn up for medical tests

    Are you out of your mind? Why are you blaming Siddhu’s failure on Modiji ? -Atheist Mr.Original Pai Sir,To refresh your memory Modi is not a Prime Minister of Gujarat but Republic of India. The Cow loving swamiji is well protected by RSS run Nagpur Parliament despite confirm DNA report from the forensic report. It is first time in the history of India RSS leaned Governor sought report of medical test from the ruling government. The Congress is falling into its own grave by inactions which was pre planned by RSS labs. They used ‘Love Jihad’ and ‘Beef’ ban as the main political goal in its divisive politics.It has lost its identity in northern India and slowly surrendering to ‘Congress Mukt’ India. The first step they took is by removing Late Rajiv Gandhi’s security shield by exposing him to LTTE terrorists.Then rebranding popular projects and stop printing stamps in their name. Now they are relentlessly behind CM Sidarhmaih and Mr.Kajriwal and Himachal Pradesh is also not spared.They use RSS fringe groups to create communal tension in non BJP states and use government machinery to defame the ruling parties. The BJP is hell bent on protecting this ‘Cow loving’ swami. If he is thrown to jail they are going to lose main trump card for the next elections in which ‘Beef ‘ is one of the main contentious issue.Unfortunately no political party in India new how to counter the communal politics of RSS political wing BJP.It became common trend in those places going for elections.A non-BJP ruled state are highest risk of becoming vulnerable to communal politics.In fact, either it is the communal situation in Mangalore in Karnataka or the ban on Sanatan Sanstha, it (Congress) has always been exposed.While BJP is continued to capitalise and scoring on communal issues. There are none from Karnataka BJP todate spoken against Swamiji rape cases. It is sure indication that RSS political wing BJP is endorse the backdoor full immunity to the culprit. While Modi’s tweetarties are busy defaming CM Siddu in daily rhetoric cracking jokes linking with his popular social schemes. The Karnataka Congress government should immediately pass anti-superstition bill and reopen Hubli court yard bomb blast case to expose the BJP. It need to act strongly against Moral policing in the Coastal District with shoot at sight. The Congress has to do some retrospect.It should ask Modi government to pass anti communal violence bill 2013. If they can’t do corrective actions, the Maharashtra,Delhi and Rajasthan failure will haunt them in Karnataka as well. Jai Hind

  • From sHAIKh moHd rizwan on Mangaluru: Stripping and Assault of Youth at Attavar – Another Accused Arrested

    Dear readers, ‘Pub attack’ by Sri Rama sena all the accused get bail. ‘Morning Mist’ attack on the private party same members got bailed earlier in ‘pub attack’ once again rewarded bail. Mohammed Ikhlaq,the father of an Indian Air Force(IAF)personnel,dragged out of his house,beaten up and murdered in cold blood. Just day ago,a man in Kanpur was lynched on the false suspicion that he was a ‘Pakistani terrorist’. Another man was killed in Delhi by Policeman,recently.Yet another, by a mob in Delhi,before that. Earlier over the alleged rape of a woman in Dimapur that led to the lynching of the accused by a mob has taken a dramatic turn with the Nagaland government informing the Centre that it “appeared to be a case of consensual sex”. Since time immemorial, people have been killed for what they believed in. We are all familiar with the stories of how early Christians were thrown before hungry lions by the Romans to the delight of cheering mobs. Patriarch Abraham was flung into a raging inferno by Nimrod. The early believers of Arabia had to go through hell and high water for their faith. In India, the followers of Buddha were nearly wiped out even as the faith spread to far corners of the world.All of them paid a price for their beliefs. So it would be a historic first that in Narendra Modi’s India people are now being killed for what they eat. While he wows the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies with his tech savvy and slick slogans of ‘Make in India’ and ‘Digital India’ in between the regulation selfies and made-for-TV emotional bear-hugs with the Silicon Valley whizkids, his comrades in khaki shorts have been going about their business, telling people what to wear, what to eat and what to read and watch. The PM who takes pride in being a ‘strong and assertive leader’ has yet to open his mouth to send out the message that he will not tolerate these attempts to wreck communal peace in the country. Instead he has rewarded characters like Giriraj Singh and men involved in Muzaffarnagar riots with ministerial berths. While the Prime Minister endlessly regales foreign leaders and desi friends of the BJP with pearls of wisdom about India’s fabled rich heritage, tolerance and democratic strength, the Parivar has captured every sphere of public and private activity. Even if Modi doesn’t directly support the bigotry and violence of fellow travelers, he’s certainly guilty of condoning and encouraging it with his deafening silence. And that silence is seen as the license to kill by the fringe. As they say, jaisi raja waisi praja. People follow the leader. So if intolerance is on the march across the land, you know what’s fueling it. It recommended PM Modi should live in New York and run govt through ‘Digital India’ and ‘Man Ki baat’ and visit India whenever there is elections. “Human sacrifice in Uttar Pradesh to maintain cow’s sanctity”.

  • From Richard D'souza on Udupi: Oscar Fernandes Inaugurates Various Projects in City

    The people in Authority for development of Udupi are forever seen only inaugrating showrooms, concerts, festivals, and buildings. Why can’t these take a good look at Udupi town, and realize: 1. The City bus stand and the Service are not safe public place, always too crowded with buses entering and leaving recklessly, with little or no regard to people in the vicinity. 2. One cannot cross a road in Udupi town, needless to say, the elders and the handicapped face the biggest challenge and risk death. Nothing is foreseen for pedestrian crossing. 3. Traffic volume of buses, lorries, cars, rickshaws, and motorcycles have increased 100 fold, yet no traffic light system are installed at Kalsanka, at old Diana circle, at the KSRTC Municipal Bus stand area, at Ajjarkad near Big Bazaar, at Bannanje-DC Office road intersection. 4. Street lighting is non-existant at Clock Tower (Agitation Area), old Diana Circle, and during power shut downs. 5. Garbage bins are non-existant on main roads, public areas (Polishing Agents like Syndicate Bank, Sai Radha’s Manohar Shetty are donating this and that to get favours from the Municiplity), like Udupi Municipality cannot afford to buy bins, or install bus stops from the large revenue they garner from various taxes. 6. Swaach Bharath – these same guys were seen with brooms etc., where are they today – just look at the garbage littered everywhere in Udupi – even a lot is being dumped on the way to the Udupi Railway Station. The garbage collection – Tractor ferrying a large bin on wheels is certainly of the gandhian times, people in authority should check the internet to know how solid waste is collected and managed today. 7. The list can go on!

In other words the daughter inheriting her father’s plagiarising genes which is in live action. A human being is a product of his inherited genes, as well as the society he lives in. This news item is a classic example. Using this argument Anu Malik can safely argue that he is not responsible for his actions as the genes and society are to be blamed for his faults in life.

  • From Lawrence on Filler Words in English- How they can be a hindrance in every way!

    S…,F…..,A… is an official language in a company where I have been working for the last one year.They say it is used to ventilate the frustration. I told them to bang the head to the wall to take out the frustration. I can’t say much because they are very nice people in their hearts. I am used to it now because it is better than talking ill on one’s behind. Say something right on my face instead of being wishy-washy. That is much better and that is American way.

  • From Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: 'We need 'Smart Officials' of 'Smart City' to Stop Contract Labour Practice' - MMSU

    In my opinion, Pradhaana Sevaka seems to have a wrong approach towards ‘smart city’ and here is why. We can’t even seem to maintain basic standards in three key areas in our cities – water supply, power supply and Urban infrastructure. The failure in these three critical areas have resulted in massive hygiene issue, chaos, safety threats and lack of living standards as compared to other developing nations. Those who traveled in China, Thailand, Malaysia would have witnessed a much advanced and efficient urban models as compared to India. When you look at our rankings in many key/basic areas, we find ourselves in the company of Sub Saharan Africa!! Even in areas that we brag about such as Internet and digital world, we are slightly better than Nigeria and Ghana!! The talk about ‘smart city’ without focusing on basic facilities is no different from a 3rd grader talking about a Phd in Quantum Physics. I personally think that this is a wrong move by Narendra Modiji. He should either rename this from ‘smart city’ to something else. Or, he can focus on creating a few brand new towns/cities with a full focus on all aspects of planning. Looking at the way things are going, the ‘smart city’ seems to be just another reason for our politicians to secure huge grants and fill their pockets!! Five years from now, there is a good chance that Mangaluru will be in a bigger problem in terms of water supply, power and quality of roads.

    • From Praveen on Mangaluru: 'We need 'Smart Officials' of 'Smart City' to Stop Contract Labour Practice' - MMSU

      Let me repeat my ‘simple’ question again – Can you name the Indian news papers or media outlets who published the controversial cartoons of a religious figure? smiles… – Sir RampaNNA on an Article called ‘Eternal Vigilance…’ So sorry I have to post under a diff topic. But then, this ‘new’ system of replying is a pain and you know where exactly it is..lol…. Joker’ji, if that is indeed the case, then your “question” should have read something like what you have posted in THIS post. I.e., “Can you name the Indian news papers or media outlets who published the controversial cartoons of a religious figure?”. However, your question to Mr. Shaikh read – “If you are for free speech, you are also for publishing cartoons of a religious figure, right?” Anyway, to cater to your never-ending childish fantasies, let me help you a bit: Please type your question on google naming the religious figure. You would be surprised at the results! Anyway, the TOI has published your fantasy – Patna edition – on 3 Feb 2006, Senior India on 23 Feb 2006. The list showed up stuff ONLY till 2006. But then, if you want to know about stuff, YOU better dig it up! Our poor RampaNNA would be very surprised to know that EVEN your fav – Aadu Jeevitham had published those cartoons – albeit for a different reason! So did Yemen. So did Morocco & Egypt! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4734500.stm Now, pyare Rampa….you know very well that you can don the mantle of Mehmood + Dwarakesh + Johnny Lever with consummate ease! Hail Rampa 🙂

Did you EVEN look at them? Nope! Coz, your feeble and febrile Q was tossed out further than Messi or Ronaldo can kick a bag of air! And LOOK at your typical knee-jerk rexn? Not a WORD in defense. Just name-calling! How typical of a RampaNNA who changes his leather footwear ONCE in six(6) years! 🙂 It’s a WONDER why the local SWAT team hasn’t come banging down on your door looking for bacterial pathogens which can ‘take down’ the entire neighborhood – if not the NEXT county or the NEXT COUNTRY! Gosh! Rampa, you sure have missed out on your vocation. May happy times smile on you. May your knee-jerk reactions not reflect the conflict raging in you. May God bless you, Rampa. 🙂

  • From sHAIKh moHd rizwan on Bengaluru: When Bellandur lake turned one big lather pool

    We attack a leader like Modiji for talking about ‘swatchcha bhaaratha’ and politics of excellence!!-Atheist Mr.Original Pai Sir,Ganga cleaning is the major issue and part of BJP election manifesto . It is the Supreme Court has again criticised the poor progress of the Ganga Action Plan and asked the NDA government whether it would be able to complete the cleaning of the river in this term or in the next.So far Rs. 2000 crore has spent just dumping into the water like someone taking holy dip. Tweets, photo ops, and clever slogans cannot bring about the change India needs. If Mr. Modi wishes to be the transformative leader that Indians gave him a mandate for, he must back up his inspiring rhetoric with action. He needs to fill the ranks of government with talented administrators, pledge to openness and transparency in government affairs, and unreservedly condemn and sideline the communalist forces among his allies. Modi can’t expect 8th grade failed incompetent Uma Bharati to grab ‘mud’ from the floor of ganges. It needs expertise, planning, funding and execution. A 15 lakh to every Indian can be ‘Jumla’ but even citizens are closing watching the actions. It is time to walk the talk. Maximum utterance, minimum governance is the present reality. Jai hind

    Finally you have spoken Mr Vivekananda, regarding Contract Labor. Even 24 hours Emergency Line Counter employees are Contract Employees. Malaria room staff is contract employee. MCC is paying Contractor after each Employee instead of paying the staff itself. There is more to it then the picture shows. Corruption is the backdrop of scam operation. Some of the contract staff I have spoken, told me how much they get paid. It is shocking. Even the beggars make more than these Contract Workers. These staff members do not have chance of under the table income.

  • From Krishna on Mangaluru: Mayor Jacintha Inaugurates Suggestion Box for Smart City at MCC

    Hello guys, forget about political differences. Participatory governance is one of the norms followed world over. Ministry of Urban Development has made participatory governance mandatory. Governance means give people what they need. People have to tell government what they need through suggestions. I think only one city in Karnataka will be selected for Smart City project in first round of finalizing 20 cities. Hope for Mangalore being selected in other rounds are doubtful as other rounds itself are doubtful. Currently Mangalore lags behind Hubli-Dharwad in number of suggestions submitted in MyGov a crowd sourcing web portal of Government of India. If you want Mangalore to be smart city please submit your suggestions at the earliest.

    • From Praveen on Mangaluru: Mayor Jacintha Inaugurates Suggestion Box for Smart City at MCC

      Governance means give people what they need. – Lord Krishna Sir’ji, “governance” ALSO means, deliver on what you promise people! Just to jiggle your memory – the 15 lakhs to every Indian (our dearest Sir rampa’ji excluded for obvious reasons) promised by our Pradhana Sevaka’s Jokers Party! AND in retrospect – to think that those Jokers even gave a 150 days time-frame to accomplish that! 🙂 And those Jokers want free internet in remote villages where no power exists! Where people are worried ONLY about food and a roof over their heads! And just FORGET Arnab Goswami’s fav dialogue – the country wants to know! Lol. So, who will deliver? AND on what front? As a columnist on NDTV wrote: “For the success of Make-in-India, foreign investment is a must and to become an investment destination, five components are needed – education, health, infrastructure, safety and justice. But here the order has been reversed. The budgetary allocation in education was reduced – the budget of the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan was cut from Rs. 27,758 crore to Rs. 22,000 crores and the outlay for the Mid Day Meal scheme went down from Rs. 13,214 crore to Rs. 9,236 crore. As per data available, the budget for health care and family welfare has been reduced from Rs. 39,000 crore to Rs. 33,000 crore. No attempt has been made to improve the law and order situation across the nation. Huge vacancies are left unfilled in the police and paramilitary forces. Despite a Supreme Court ruling, police reforms are still a distant dream.” “Judicial reforms should have been of top priority on Modi’s agenda for development. But industrial litigations are taking years to reach any conclusion. Infrastructure development is moving at a snail’s pace. On ease-of-doing-business, India is ranked 142 among 189 countries.” Well, so MACK a trip to India, if nothing!

    Miss Rachitha, this is called Spoken English. All through History,there was only one type of English which is written and spoken. Now money is the matter and started Spoken English. So what you hear is what is learned and spoken. If you hear this in India,then you may faint what you hear in USA. Every second word is like S….,F…..,A…., etc beside many other words. It is nothing but show and acting plus stupidity.

What do you expect from a country where a few hundred million people don’t even have access to toilets!! Clearly, untreated human-waste is being dumped into this lake!! Those who are complaining about health problems and bad smell should start looking at their own actions first!! People get what they deserve!! There is no point in blaming politicians as they are just an extension of our own society. The would never dare to ignore a problem of this magnitude in a society that holds itself to a higher standards! We attack a leader like Modiji for talking about ‘swatchcha bhaaratha’ and politics of excellence!! This is what we deserve for endorsing politics of incompetence!! #disgusting

  • From sas on Say NO To Caste Based Reservation

    This type of reservation policy of the Government has fostered inefficiency, lower productivity, and mismanagement in all sectors of economy, especially the stinky public sector. So long we continue to follow the caste-based reservation policy, we will never promote ourselves into developed economy. It is only the private entrepruenership of our skilled personnel that has helped the country’s economy grow; not the inefficient government sector nor the people managing that sector who are placed there not because of their ability, but because of who they are. One side we preach about “One India, One People” and our political stalwarts keeping in mind the votes don’t think of national interest, but their own self-centered interest. What we need is not the caste-based reservation; we need affirmative action program, that would help economically and socially backward communities to help themselves to get into the mainstream of Indian economy, based not who they are, but what they are.

  • From Ramesh Mallya on London: Urinary Tract Infection Could Be Treated Without Antibiotics Say Researchers

    I worked as a House Physician (junior doctor) in 1968 at Wenlock Hospital in Mangalore under Dr M Keshava Pai, a brilliant Physician. he asked me if I was interested in carrying out a small research project on amoebiasis. He also got another house officer called Leena Prabhu (I hope she gets to read this). A drug called Berberal (extract of bearberry) became available for use in dysentery. Dr. Pai knew the potential of this drug in treating amoebiasis and asked us to do a in-vitro study using different concentrations of the Berberal solution. It was interesting watching this amoeba under the microscope. The amoeba stopped its pseudopodial movements within a minute or so and we presumed it to be dead as it showed no signs of life after a few hours. We tested about 20 stool samples but I cannot remember if it was ever published or the drug getting licence for use in amoebiasis. I left Mangalore a year later to follow Dr. Pai’s foot steps and went to the UK. I am pleased to say I have had a successful career following Dr. Pai as my mentor. Dr Ramesh Mallya UK PS. You are welcome to type in my name “Dr Ramesh Mallya” in Google search and also under “Google Scholar” and see my research and publications. Sadly Dr Pai is no longer with us to read this storey. He was instrumental in introducing me to laboratory and clinical research. Unfortunately I have also lost contact with Dr Leena Prabhu. Thank you for reading this snippet.

  • From Robert Pais on Mangaluru: MCC Crew Not 'Smart' for 'Smart City'-Fix Bad Roads First,Then Concretize other Roads!

    We seem to be fixated on elected representatives through the religious lens. For example : it is we who are responsible for not taking to task the MP, MLAs, the Kumaras the RAI’s the Moilys for selling us in the Yettina Hole. Politician is the person who thinks and works about re-election whereas the “states man” thinks about the next generation. If we allow through our lens of cast ( this community that community) and religion the opportunists make hay when the sun shines ( tax payers money). If we have zero tolerance for corruption in our personal lives – we also can have zero tolerance for the ELECTED REPRESENTATIVEs behaving like the MAHARAJAs of modern times. We allow these things to happen. We glorify them. We put posters, we call them to give speeches. Are they really qualified to give speeches?
