From Ramchadra Shetty on Mangaluru: Locals Thrash Auto Driver for 'Birthday Suit' Display

This is a pure case of mental illness. Instead of admitting this man to a hospital they thrashed him. Those who thrashed him must be illitrate people.

Agree with Original Pai. Thrashing a mentally ill person is display of instant herogiri for some. However it doesn’t address the real issue. He clearly needs psychological counselling.

Clearly this guy has some mental issue and he is in need of medical help. I really hope that Police and his family try to help this man recover from this unfortunate situation. Thrashing and violence may intimidate him, but it won’t address his mental issue. Believe it or not, this guy with all of his dysfunctional behavior is less dangerous than real predators out there who target innocent girls.

From sas on Bengaluru: K'taka Governor spends 2.4 crore on renovation, chartered flights

If Modi can do justice to his word, he should start working on abolishing these ceremonial posts. It is an irony that India still has not changed from its antiquated policies like continuing with Governors whose contribution and value to the States is practically nothing related to the expenses incurred on these…. These ceremonial posts are nothing but welfare benefits to party’s loyalists at the expense of tax payers.

When the Indian Government will abolish this totally………Governor post, simply to pamper the veteran politicians of each party in power in New Delhi with royal parade and privilege through burning the pockets of the tax payers? This Governor walked out of the hall while the national anthem was singing. But spending Rs. 2.4 crore for renovation and Rs. 10 lakh for charter flight etc…….. the old British royalty parade in India would be regretting while watching the current Indian royalty parade of the politicians. When the lists of the travel, attachment to the Raj Bhavan and the number of relatives came to visit the Governor of Kerala in the previous administration was a staggering amount. Well, the political show is going on as usual.

From A. S. Mathew on World No Tobacco Day 2015 -Take a Pledge to Stop Tobacco Abuse

In my younger days, I have watched some chain-smokers, they had to keep emitting the smoke from their mouth and through the nose like a coal factory. When I saw them dying earlier in life, I was confused, why those healthy rich people were dying too early in life? One rich Doctor and a well known studio owner died early in life without any apparent reason; the doctor due to heart attack and the studio owner due to cancer which was quite rare in those days. Two of the mass killers of humanity are smoking and liquor consumption. How many millions are dying, spending long duration in the hospital and wasting money for mere smoking? There must be a massive campaign to stop the deadly stylist epidemic of smoking. Since the author had to meet many people affected with the smoke-related diseases, the article was explicit and comprehensive.

From A. S. Mathew on The Politics Of Hate

Very interesting article. God has given us an abundant supply of creativity; but the saddest thing is the misuse of the creativity for undermining and destroying the society. Through injecting fear and lies about the other group, the virus of hatred is sown, and that will grow up every day; more feedback from evil spirited people will make small seed into a big deadly plant which can destroy and kill many. When we learn about some of the most ruthless autocrats of history, how they began to grow in bitterness-hatred and the fun of bloodshed of the innocent people. On the other hand, when we study the life story of some of the greatest humanitarians, they took a different path of loving the humanity and God used them to wipe the tears of the millions, besides their life story will motivate and inspire the posterity to be honorable humanitarians.

From shaiKh moHd rizwan on This Thing Called Cancer

Dear readers, In Eastern democracies like India, the public image of a political party often matters more than its actual performance. The party image revolves around three pivots. The first is: How clean is the government? Then how strong is it in protecting national interest on the security front? The third and unfortunately the least important is: How has the government performed in core areas of governance and economy? By all accounts, the Modi government would get a high score if one were to compare its performance in core areas and the economy with the first year of previous governments. But this too has come under attack now with a parliamentary committee headed by the BJP MP from Ahmednagar in Maharashtra, Dilip Kumar Gandhi, clearly marching to the tune of the tobacco lobby in the country, which is responsible for 9,00,000 deaths every year due to tobacco-related diseases, mainly cancer. The committee was to decide by April 1 whether the size of the pictorial warning on the cigarette packet should be increased to over 80 per cent from the current 30 per cent. The tobacco lobby had been politically active trying to derail the proposal as studies have found that the advertising and pictorial campaign against intake of tobacco has great psychological impact on smokers and tobacco chewers, thus dissuading them to leave tobacco and affecting the sale of tobacco products. Gandhi virtually gave in to the pro-tobacco lobby at great cost to the BJP government’s clean image at the centre by deferring the decision. Gandhi said, “There is no Indian survey report to prove that tobacco consumption leads to cancer. All studies are done abroad… We have to study the Indian context, as four crore people in states like Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh are dependent on bidi-making through tendupatta”. Have your say. You can comment here.Gandhi’s sweeping statement that left the BJP leaders red-faced triggered speculation. The most virulent among them was whether the honest Dr Harshvardhan was deprived of the health ministry portfolio because of the pressure of the tobacco lobby and whether the present health minister JP Nadda was also allegedly batting for the gutka czars whose lifestyle marked by expensive cars and Bollywood style mansions has often been the envy of many in the corporate world. Nadda, of course, reiterated his government’s resolve to increase deterrents against tobacco consumption. This demonstrated by the government of “propagating and promoting tobacco lobby” in India to common man’s peril and wondered whether former Health Minister Harsh Vardhan was removed from the ministry last year due to his anti-tobacco stand.Who is responsible for putting a beedi baron whose annual turnover is over Rs 200 crore on a parliamentary panel that was to decide the fate of millions of Indians? Will the person be held accountable? Why didn’t the panel speak to any doctors, health experts? Why didn’t the Health Ministry not give any formal evidence to the committee? Will the Prime Minister, who tweeted so passionately on World No Tobacco Day give a personal commitment that India won’t go back on 85 percent warnings? Won’t a revised 60-65 percent notification be a victory for the tobacco lobby? “Modi government is actively pursuing the policy of propagating and promoting tobaco lobby in India to the peril of the common citizen. A “penny to make dollar to sell” of tobacco lobby is already addicted to the different genders regardless of age.The opening budget of PM Modi government has unexpectedly ordered a near 20% cut in India’s healthcare budget for the current financial year, owing to financial constrains. Over 60bn rupees ($947m, £609m, €775m) has been slashed from the Health Ministry’s budget allocation of around $5bn for the financial year ending 31 March, 2015, an unnamed ministry official told Reuters. The move could jeopardise crucial disease control initiatives in a nation whose public spending on health is already among the lowest in the world. The UN has estimated that about a third of the world’s 1.2 billion poorest people live in India, Asia’s third largest economy. To rub salt to the injury PM Modi’s ‘Sab ka sath,sab ka vikas’ gifted common man by increasing Cancer drug price from Rs 8,000 to Rs 1.08 lakh. Cancer drug price goes up from Rs 8,000 to Rs 1.08 lakh http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-cancer-drug-price-goes-up-from-rs-8000-to-rs-108-lakh-2022667 A policy paralysis governance driven by super brain economist like Jaitly,Junior Sinha,Arun shourie,should explain the nation, how does this government will shoulder budget of staggering 90,000 crores per annum to run ‘BULLET TRAIN’ which slashed health budget citing financial constraint to one of lowest in the world?

When there is no need the parish priests go ahead with various constructions in the churches. Where the hall rent goes? The people pour money when the priest announces from the altar. Priests use the trick of curse whoever stands for justice. In these types of scams who has to curse whom? It is high time that people take over financial matters and priests handle only spiritual responsibilities. Kumsar kumgar, resper, baptizm santuksanv. Otherwise bigger scams will follow. There are examples of priests asking the donors to write the cheques to their personal name. People should demand receipt for their donation.

From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Saverapura - A new parish in Mangaluru Diocese

What a pleasure to learn that the 116th Parish is now born under Mangalore Diocese and that the new Parish is named as Saverapura near Katpadi. A small monument has now been created in a remote area for the benefit of a few dozens of Catholic families where the presence of God will continue to shower His blessings upon the people in a place where St. Francis Xavier will bring his special blessings upon the priests that will continue to bring renewed faith and peace amongst people. The priests responsible in conducting the religious services in remote areas have a tremendous task to shoulder because of so many scarcities and difficulties. The priests act like the “uncrowned Governors” of the Punchayat Raj by joining hands with handful of parishnors and asking God’s merciful hands to be placed upon the simple village where the faithful will show to the World that God’s presence is everywhere. We have had the privilege of visiting the Alangar Church a few years ago just to listen to the wonderful choir that they perform on every Sunday morning. The CD that they sent us is still being played in our simple household and the wonderful voices and the lyrics are very much enjoyed by all of us. We would like ton visit SAVERAPURA some time whenever convenient. We are great believers in visiting new Churches because they say that God has greater listening power in a New Church, and the favors are granted by God much quicker than the older churches. That;s why whenever we travel abroad, all over the world, we always make it a point to visit a new Church and place our humble cravings before God for swifter blessings.

From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: He Came, He Saw, He Conquered Hearts of Milagreans! Fond Farewell to Fr FX Gomes

Thanks, Alfie, for your detailed article on Fr. Felix Gomes who is retiring from Milagres High School after a successful assignment. Intellectuals and Administrators involved in the Educational field find it very painful to leave the school environment where they nurture hundreds of students and groom them to be successful in their career assignments. Teaching is a most delicate assignment where an individual gives the very best to the Institution, and once they create a strong bond with not only the students but also the faculty members it is very painful to say ‘good bye’. Educational values instilled by the individuals towards an Institution find it very difficult to move to another location. All said and done, Fr. Felix Gomes will be missed at Milagres School. He will be an asset in the new Institute that he has been selected to move, and many other hundreds of students will be benefitted by his teachings and his wise leadership. Life is a transition that takes us from one end to another thru a journey that has so many ups and downs. Parting with an Institution that one gives the very best has lot to suffer, but ultimately the new place gets the benefit, and the life goes on. I havd spent three years at Milagres from the year 1949 to 1951, and I distinctly remember when one Fr. Pinto, the powerful and disciplined Headmaster stepped down from his position and his place was taken over by one Fr. Rasquinha. Meetings and partings are all part of the emotional journey one has to go thru. Thank you, Fr. Felix, and wish you best of luck in all your future undertakings.

From Rohan D on Thou Shalt Not Steal! 'Parish Priest Scammed Over Rs 1 Crore of Church Funds' say Faithful

Its quite unfortunate that the clergy is galvanized by peoples sentiments and not to mention inaction of our Mangalorean Bishop Today there is no accountability of funds received from believers. There is no check on personal expenses of clergy, foreign trips etc No control of commercial activities like ‘renting church hall’ (not to mention exhorbitant charges) Attitudes of clergy these days are like zamindars. They like to be served. If I’m not wrong the role of this priests in police atrocities in Kulshekar church is also questionable.

Fr. Valerian Pinto is one of the most charismatic and fearless priests our Mangalore diocese has at the moment. I have known him since my childhood when he was the parish priest of Nakre Church as I had constant interaction with him due to our church youth activities. He is an able administrator and considered to be a strong orator. His works speaks of his ability and especially the way he handled the Church affairs during the infamous attrocities against Christians during the previous BJP Government in Karnataka. It is bit hard to believe that he has swindled the Church funds for his personal use. I only hope the truth comes out soon and our trust in our Clergy’s restored.

Interesting! Many may not be aware that over fifty years ago, the Kallugundi church near Sampaje on the DK-Kodagu boundary, which is also dedicated to St Francis Xavier, had the name ‘Saverapura’ given to the place by the-then parish priest, the late Fr Leo Cutinha. It has not somehow been used by his successors. Fr Cutinha also had the credit of giving the school run by the church which is dedicated to ‘Little Flower’ St Theresa a name with an ethnic touch – ‘Kiriya Pushpa’ in Kannada. Just thought of giving the man his due.

How about simple things like cleaner city, better garbage collection and tough stand on lazy corporators ? Or, Is it too much to ask for ? I was really truly disappointed by what I saw in city only 2 months ago!!

From Lawrence on Mangaluru: Reliance Company Damages Water Pipe near St Teresa School - Lobo orders to Suspend License

Oh Mr. Pai, MLA Lobo alone cannot make Mangalore a cleaner city. We need to keep cows, dogs and other animals off the street. Defecating in public must be made a punishable offence. Modi should provide places to plug-in for those who cannot control their bowel movement. Cleaner city starts from you, me and then MLAs with self discipline. The Chaddiwalas should keep cows away from city and collect “Gomoothra” for curing the cancer. Export all the stray dogs to Philippines. Then again, you may not like this because of your ardent love for “Mookapranis” If we do not do anything positive to keep the city clean, apart from blaming the MLA Lobo, we will remain as Mookapranis too. Come on and give your 10 points program to keep the city clean.

Lawrence, See how quickly you are willing to blame Modi and everyone except the MLA who got elected after a big hype? Is it because of your religious affiliation? This is the difference between you and me. Go back and read my comments – I supported Mr.Lobo when he ran for election because I thought that the BJP MLA (Mr.Bhat) and state BJP govt had utterly failed. I was hoping that Mr.Lobo with his clean image would deliver. So far, it has been a disappointment. You asked for 10 points programs – Here is the first point – Let’s stop supporting political parties purely based on our religion. Show some intellectual honesty and think outside of your religious box!! Is it too much for you?

From Original R.Pai on Bengaluru: In fight over plot, man sets church on fire

I am really surprised that our ‘secular’ media couldn’t ‘invent’ any RSS/BJP connection to this incident !! This is probably because these Krishnapa-yellapa individuals are affiliated with congress or JD(S). I wonder how many of those highly publicized ‘church attack’ cases were related to local/domestic disputes involving church management and local individuals!!

Paimaam, your observation proves that only when RSS -BJP combine indulges in such anti minority tirade, the media holds them responsible and not otherwise. Thank you for having proved the media right and consequent admission by you that RSS is guilty as reported by it from time to time!

From A. S. Mathew on Why on Earth did we agree that Religious Conversions are Wrong?

Prohibiting religious conversion is a solid violation of the fundamental human freedom charted by the U.N. in 1945. If the 300 million Dalits are converting to other religions, they will be getting more opportunity to get educated and to be free from the religious slavery. This religious slavery has an underlying economic vested interest; thus to keep the lowest sector of the society as voiceless slaves for ever. The anti-conversion proponents will not dare to question a well to do or educated person in his or her choice to change religion.

All Citizens of Mangalore as well as Karnataka even, please note that any problem regarding Public will not be solved without rubbing hands of Public Servants. Telling Corporators is like riding on the Donkey,whether it will reach the destination or it will come back to where it started. Sometime back while digging for Cable laying near Kadri Pumpwell, near Mangalorean.Com writer Mr. Alfie’s house,(opp. Inland Monarch)diggers hit the Water Line. They simply wrapped it with cloth and left. I have confronted them regarding this but they did not care. I have informed Don’t Care Lady Engineer, Executive Engineer who is retired recently,Mayor Rajni’s office, and Water Dept. Engineer. Duplicated the calls again and again without result. Finally the ground started saturating,and flowing under the house of Mr. C.Nazareth and exited from Kadri Road to Kambla Road,Near Soans Workshop. Even the local Corporator did not care even after MCC informed Him. Just imagine the Volume of Treated Drinking Water was washed down the ground. Corporators and other elected officials are for Ribbon Cutting,Hand Rubbing and Photo on Banners Publicity(may be a free apartment and or a new Santo car.). Who cares attitude of MCC officials is cause of Concern. Only Hope is Mr JR Lobo and Present City Commissioner with their tough stand.

Rizwan’s comments don’t deserve any merit. Rizwan may be one of the few fortunate ones who may be able to control his own family, but I doubt whether he has control over his extended family members. The events like this happen everywhere, in India, developed or developing countries, rich or the poor. When we cannot control our own family members, how can we expect Modi or any other superman, even with a chest measuring 100″, could control the vast number of people in a democratic and poor country like India, with divergent interests, values and ethics.

Let us details in the memorandum, the work done by her and the corporators plan to transfer her to their benefit. We should also warn the concerned that if any efforts are done to transfer her, people will not keep quite. Let us see is it the people power or the corporators power, will prevail

Dear Dr. Maya, I would like to add a little to your write-up by way of a positive response. In India we do not have a regulated and self-regulating public sphere as in the West. Just take the education field you have written about: In South Canara you have several private education empires: the Catholic empire, the Dharmasthala empire, the Poojary empire, the GSB empire, the Brahmin empire and the Bunts empire. Each of these empires is only interestd in 100% result and money-minting. Given this, what would you expect? As for students, in South Canara as elsewhere in India, not many would know the difference between a Kuvempu University correspondence course which assuredly gives you 79-80% and doing the same course in a good univesity under qualified professors (who may not give away first classes).

Well said lecture, to put into practice; Oh, you pundiths, nuns, teachers!! Not only corporal punishment but/and also the following points to consider. Children Learn What They Live By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D. If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn. If children live with hostility, they learn to fight. If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive. If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves. If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy. If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy. If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty. If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence. If children live with tolerance, they learn patience. If children live with praise, they learn appreciation. If children live with acceptance, they learn to love. If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves. If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal. If children live with sharing, they learn generosity. If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness. If children live with fairness, they learn justice. If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect. If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them. If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live. Hurt child hurts. Thanks folks

The man, in white shoes, shirt and pant, has been staging protests outside every important govt. office, with press photographers in tow, since the last 2 weeks. In the instant case, if the 15 children were really not getting admission anywhere, and that includes govt. schools. Then an ordinary visit to the DC, Mr.Ibrahim( a truly good human being and gentleman) would have ensured instant action anyway without the need for any photo sessions or drama ! Perhaps Mr.Hegde would do better with his energies by enrolling students in govt. schools,which are in fact begging for students to be enrolled in their school, and in working toward the improvement of quality and conditions in govt. schools ! e.g.:A primary school( 1st to 7th class) located at Karianangady, Belvai GP, has only 3-4 teachers and only about a total of 35 students ,who are all bunched into the same class and taught different lessons!

Dear friends, I missed 2 important points in my earlier response, which I want put up here: 1. Flag post The flag post was removed for relocation to another location as it was blocking the main entrance of the premises. However, the Godman brought the Ashoka from where it was kept, buried under the rubble and took pictures to be published in the media to malign our name. He knew very well that he had nothing else, which can stand against us. 2. Rs 1 Crore Education Fund The Godman has been extensively spreading the news among parents and local public that I have collected Rs1 Crore in his name and not given him, which is why he could not continue the building construction. The absolute truth is that from the earnings my own company (60%) and my own savings (40%) I have established a Rs 1 Crore Education Fund under my own family Trust called Glarida Education Fund. The interest proceeds of this fund to be distributed as Scholarship to students of Schools in the neighborhood including Little Flower School and also other charity causes. However, after the hostile behavior of the Godman, the Scholarship to Little Flower School stands suspended.

Thank you for highlighting a neglected ward. Last year I had filed an RTI application asking when the Bejai Bhajana Mandir Road and its various lanes were last repaired, what does the rule say about the period between two successive repairs, what is the amount spent on repairs for the past few years etc. MCC wrote back exactly 30 days later, saying they do not have the figures, are still calculating and will provide the figures as soon as they are ready. When nothing was forthcoming even after two months, I appealed to the Commissioner and was told a hearing would take place. I do not know what was the outcome of that hearing since I did not get any information. Meanwhile as this report reveals some lanes have become lucky while the neglected ones are still waiting. Finally I would like to point out that no ward committee has been formed here till date!

Dear Uncle Lawrence, Yes, this sort of media attention is not surprising at all as it is only when one person knows right in his conscious that he is completely wrong is when they start shouting and start justifying using extraordinary measures like unwanted media attention. This sort of a matter/dispute can be sorted out within 4 walls. But since someone chose to gather the outsider attention, I think it will be right to bring out all the hidden issues as you have mentioned in your first response. First of all, the pictures above show complete disrespect towards the flag and the flag post. Firstly I do not believe that you have done this, so whoever has done such a thing to put it in the rubble, needs to be SEVERELY PUNISHED as THIS is an unlawful act. I am really surprised, that this has not become an issue up until now. Secondly, if there are any doubts being raised as to the where the funds and donations go, those accounts need to be audited and checked. I believe that any donor should make sure that he knows where the funds go. In todays’ world, there is no point of just assuring yourself that your intentions are right. Everyone needs to make sure that someone in need is actually benefiting from your help. Everyone in the village and around know about the hard work you have been putting in to make Kanajar a better place. Right from the school to building a big cricket stadium to encourage students and talented athletes. I don’t see how anyone could even think that someone like you could do anything to harm school property. You have helped so many people and young children since many years. This school was your dream project and was started by you and you trusted upon someone to take this dream forward with good intentions in your heart and so God definitely knows who is wrong here and the truth will come forward very soon. You have the prayers and support and blessings of a lot of people. Keep up the good work uncle and May God bless you abundantly!

Dear Lawrence, Infact I did not feel like commenting on a dirty crook so called Godman who is trying to prove himself to the public that he is a good man and wants to grab the attention to prove himself that he is innocent. But Lawrence you do not need to prove yourself about the great job you did for the betterment of the society. You always dreamed of making your birth place famous than investing in the city. You blindly believed in him whom we noticed from the day one that he is not a trust worthy person. Our innocent mother who thought he is like a God and completely trusted on him by giving him whatever little she has in her hand given by her children for her expenses but she gave all that to him for helping the orphans. Dear Lawrence God is with you and we all are with you and very soon truth will come out and culprit will be punished.

From Lawrence Saldanha on Karkala: Land Owners Damage School Property, PTA demands Action

Dear friends, It is my strong belief that the truth somehow emerges without having to shout from the hill top. Here, however the Godman has succeeded in temporarily misleading local people and PTA members which is evident from pictures and bunch of lies. I wish to set the record straight on the following: 1. Flag post The flag post was wrongly installed in the middle of entrance which needed to be shifted to another location nearby and therefore it was removed and kept at a safe place. What this Godman did was he brought the Ashoka and immersed in the rubble to take pictures to be published in the media (which you can see above) 2. Donation Rs 1 Crore The Godman has also been spreading the news among the unsuspecting public that I have collected Rs1 Crore from people and did not handover to him which is why the construction of his building has stopped, which is a wholesome lie. The truth is that I have established from my own earnings from the company Rs 1 Crore education fund under my own family trust called Glarida Education Fund, the proceeds of which for distribution to genuine charity causes including Scholarships to deserving students of Schools in the neighborhood including Little Flower School. However, after the hostile conduct of the Godman especially his going to labor court in Kuwait against my company, the goodwill factor did not exist anymore and the Scholarships stand suspended. The fund belongs to me and my family and proceeds are being distributed to intended beneficiaries.

Regarding flag post pics, one can blindly make out that it is placed and soiled and made visible clearly from all angles. Since it is a national symbol, he expected to draw people’s attention and outrage to create problems to the land owners. He needs to be punished for playing with the national symbol for his own benefit.

Dear readers, The tail of bloody history “divide and rule” is though sowed by ‘British Raj’, the Hindū Mahāsabhā and Jinah legacy of betrayal continued to live post 1947 partition Atrocity in Jammu.Punjab region and 1971 East Pakistan in West Bengal. The Republic of India further segregated in the name of religion with reins of British took over by RSS to implement the ‘Bunch of thoughts’ of Guruji’s forcing the minorities to live as second class citizen in their own democratic nation. The Modi’s ‘Gujarat Model’ laid the great foundation stone post Godhra riots during 2002 continued to live its memory in across nation including India’s financial capital denying job or renting a living space. While Israel forcefully annexure by chasing Muslims and CHRISTIAN alike in the promise land by redrawing borders,the Guruji’s of RSS inspired the followers in their ‘Bunch of thought’ continue to create invisible barriers. Though nations like Germany slammed the visible barriers the PM Modi’s government competing with Israelies building barriers. While Juhapura model and Shah Alam camp are the seeds of Godhra,Kashmiri pandits relocation in Jammu another classic example of Apartheid rule. Can PM Modi guarantee the Constitution rights to every citizen of India under his famous tags of ‘Sab ka sat, sab ka vikas’? If normal minority citizen can’t rent a square yard,how does the security will be guaranteed to them? Can PM Modi share is ‘Man ki bath’ or will he continue his voyage as ‘Columbus of India’ globe trotting remaining country in the Atlas? Jai hind

Obstacles you faced every time you thought of doing some gud work . Be it him so called Goodman or few jealous people around. You have enough knowledge n wisdom for what is to be done when by way of going that extra mile to support any cause which helps the poor.

God’s hand is always on the righteous people . so don’t worry, keep cool. Barking dogs seldom bite. Truth doesn”‘t require any media or people’s attention as he did by calling a PTA meeting and tried to misguide them with false allegations on you or approaching media. You have been a role model for the poor, you have given employment for many needy around Hindu, christians because you saw in them yourself struggling for job years back.

From Nelson Lewis on Karkala: Land Owners Damage School Property, PTA demands Action

Ms. Veronica Alva, I do not believe in Godmen and those pseudo-social workers who come at the door steps to collect money for charity and social causes. Most of them are crooks and scoundrels and pocket the money. I have personally come across such scoundrels, not only in India, but also Indians abroad and they have no honesty and propriety and involved in many dirty things, which I do not wish to spell here. I do not know the background of the case, but the gentleman should not have dealt with the so-called Godman and holy man. If, one is a slick talker, it is very easy to fool Indians. If one wants to do charity, then the donor should give it directly to the worthy person or to such genuine institutions like Missionaries of Charity.

From Nelson Lewis on Karkala: Land Owners Damage School Property, PTA demands Action

Ms. Veronica Alva, I will tell you one thing. It is not the question of how honest or corrupt you are, how intelligent or stupid, how selfless or selfish, how industrious or lethargic and I can rattle off. The success of a man depends solely on his kismet and how well he can talk. One may be crook and scoundrel, but if his kismet is good, then wealth will pour from all sides. I have seen many rags to rich stories and after they have achieved wealth they wish to display their wealth and power to the same people who knew what were their state years ago before they got their new found wealth. Then, these people will go to the houses of worship, where the priests will fawn on them and they will pay hefty amounts on religious rites, because they harbour the notion that they can bribe the Almighty God. Who will punish this Godman – is it the law of the land, Almighty God or the public by taking law into their own hands. If I am not mistaken this man’s name is Paulose. Is he a Christian or from some other religion? If he is a Christian, why is he called a Godman and, in that event, he must have hailed from Kerala, because normally Keralite Christians have the name Paulose and not others. Regards, Nelson Lewis

From Allen C A Pereira on Credibility of Television Debates

I fully endorse what Prof Ninan has to say about the ‘debates’ on television channels. They are a cacophony and defy all principles of responsible and logical exchange of views and expression of ones opinion. It is a bad exposure to our youth who need to imbibe one of the cardinal principles of democracy i.e responsible dissent, and respect for others views. Speaking out of turn, interrupting someone in the midst of his/her speech, shouting down someone with a dissenting view , are inimical to democracy. It is best that responsible and democratic minded citizens avoid such debates and the media channels that host them

The trio of Kudla Friends- Yuvaraj Salian, Sooraj Rebello and Srikanth Shetty are doing a marvelous job in entertaining the coastal community of Karnataka. Also they are very popular with the sports they are conducting every year for the community. Wishing them all success in future programs too. Mrs Jaya Shettigar in her report not only mentions about the success of the program , but also reminds us of genuine concern about our social responsibility and values. Kudos to her.

True – Fear and ignorance result in hatred. Same way, I should also point out that tolerance of intolerance is cowardice. This cowardice by progressive groups create a political vacuum conveniently filled by religious and other far-right groups. The cowardice does encourage more hate in our society. We don’t have to look too far. Ask yourself a simple question – how many people on this forum spoke against ‘beef ban’ Vs ‘cartoon ban’!!

Original R Pai says, ” Shobhakka, Do us a favour – Please retire from politics and go along with your Yeddy and Reddy”. Dear Paimaam, I can not object when you say (referring to Shobhakka) “your Yeddy” in the above statement. But if you say “your Reddy” in that statement, it is totally wrong. For, Reddys are the adopted children of Sushma Swaraj and till the Reddys were sent to jail, she unfailingly came to their place, conducted “Vara Mahalaxmi Vratam” and took the Prasadam (mining mafia booty) to Delhi, ostensibly to hand over the same to RSS and BJP. From the very day she contested against Mrs. Sonia Gandhi from Ballari and lost the elections, she came into contact with mining mafia. She fostered them during Vajpayee government. Now we have a clean government at Delhi, of BJP and Modi! The very “Mining Mafia Reddy Maataa” Sushma Swaraj is in Modi’s cabinet as Foreign Minister! Modi has made Yeddy of “land mafia and mining mafia” notoriety, the Vice President of BJP! By the by, why Sushma stopped her “Vara Mahalaxmi Vratam”? Was Laxmi too in the prison along with Reddys? She can not even think of worshipping Laxmi without Reddy! Why so?

From Lawrence Saldanha on Karkala: Land Owners Damage School Property, PTA demands Action

Dear friends, I am not surprised that the so called Godman has gone to the extent of publishing one sided version to the public and media. The true story on the other hand is the following: – In 2008, I handed over the School (then running 7th std) to Seon Ashram headed by Godman Paulose along with a separate 5 acres of land total worth about Rs 2 Crores, all for free. – To give him enough time to construct his own school building, I leased him the temporary school building and a portion of house on 25 years nominal lease (almost free) – To assist him to run the high school while his building under construction, I rented my commercial hall on 11 month lease again for a nominal rent. Additionally, a kitchen and toilet facility built by me in my own land was provided to temporarily accommodate the staff and student inmates. – All these possessions were given to him on a goodwill basis for a period not exceeding 5 years, which expired in 2013. – In February 2014, he and his son officially informed me that he is finding it difficult to run the School for which I reminded him about the clause in our agreement which requires him to hand over the School to the Diocese of Mangalore (against a goodwill compensation) for which he demanded Rs3.65Crores from the Diocese. – As he was spending KD150/every visit to Kuwait, I had extended him a permanent residence permit in Kuwait for almost 5 years all for free but with his turning hostile, i could not extend this goodwill to him anymore and asked him to cancel against which he went to the labor court in Kuwait to seek release but failed. – As he had not paid any rent for either the house or the School building, sensing difficulty ahead, he went to the court and obtained injunction against disconnection of power and water – Notice to vacate the temporary leased hall to be available for our family function later this year was given to him as early as April 2014 but till February this year, he not only kept challenging me but also shielded students leaving me no option but to seek courts eviction which is in progress. – Kitchen and toilets facilities were built by me on my own land but used by them, needed no permission from anybody to be demolished, likewise, 5 acres land was given to him 7 years ago to build School related utilities which he ignored and continued to use my land for the purpose. The absolute truth is that what was purely my unselfish goodwill generosity turned out to be a disaster in the hands of crooked Godman. He is fooling innocent Mangaloreans by his external looks but the reality is he is out there for a big family business.

There are few good guys in Congress party For example Jayapala, Reddy, Sachin Pilot, Jyotiraditya Madhavrao Scindia including Jayaram Ramesh. Unfortunately they have no future in Congress party. Once upon a time Congress party used to be a true national party. Now it has become a true private limited company owned by the mother and her son. Both mother and son are “indispensable” Rest of the members are like slaves working for the party. The Congress members work and serve in the interests of 2G, for them interests of the nation is the least priority. I am willing join congress if they get rid 2G,s and the party becomes a democratic party.

From James Fernandes on The Politics Of Hate

If that rich girl were to use a new dress day everyday and also were to gift every one, perhaps, hatred would have been diminished? I guess not. Are you sure ignorance is the cause of hatred; I think knowledge is. If such a nation had not known the existence and the usage of oil; the oil owners would not have been hated at all. I could be wrong. However, as you say, “The good earth is rich and can provide for every one”; Yes, the earth has plenty to offer, but people do not know how to share democratically. Some day perhaps! Some receiving containers are larger. In a buffet dinner each one eats stomach full; only the greedy one goes home with a doggy bag. Shame on him! Even the multi billionaire who went to hell could not order an air conditioner; thus no one hated him down there. That’s the Temporary solution. Fascinating points in the article. Have we read somewhere; “The kingdom of God, or my kingdom, is not of this earth”! May be I am wrong.

Looking from tiger’s perspective, how do you know eating meat does not have adverse impact on his health by consuming meat? What if his blood pressure goes up? What if he gets colon cancer by eating beef daily? May be tigers are dying by the age of 20 because they eat too much meat. Perhaps they may live up to 80 if they abstained. Have you given any thought on this matter? To make it worse, you bestow a soul on a ferocious dead predator by saying RIP?

Original Duplicate Pai asks, “@Pincode Pai – I do not know why you keep on posting here when every post of yours has only one agenda of blaming every thing on RSS and BJP?” Paimaam, there are two reasons. Sir, first and foremost,you must deny the blames and explain the facts. Instead, you only attack me. why? I have made only true accusations and not false propaganda, as always done by you and your RSS! Just do one thing – that is, please tell which of the allegations made by me is false and explain why. However, the RSS made blatantly false allegations and repeated the same for scores of years since 1925. People believed the RSS like the Germans believed Nazi Hitler’s publicity maverick Josef Goebbels! RSS repeatedly levelled the following false allegations for scores of years and it has resulted in the present generation believing the same to be gospel truth. Read the following and say whether every BJP sympathiser believes blindly the following false allegations or not. 1) RSS said Gandhi was anti Hindu and pro-Muslims and RSS. Therefore, Hindu Mahasabha’s Savarkar encouraged his elimination. 2) RSS said Nehru got India partitioned and and put Subhas Chandra Bose in the Soviet Jail to become the Prime Minister of India. 3) RSS said Nehru got Jana Sangh’s founding president Dr. Shamprasad Mukherji got killed by administering slow poison to him, making Sheik Abdullah of Kashmir a tool to do so. 4) Jan Sangh said its president Deen Dayal Upadhyaya was got killed by Congress in Mughalsarai Railway station. 5) RSS said that Lal Bahadur Shastri was got killed by the Indira Gandhi at Tashkent by using the then Soviet President Alexei Kosygin to get him killed. Sir, I will give many more instances once you answer my above questions.

They do all kinds of job, cleaning, sweeping,mopping the floor, including cleaning toilets. No one calls them cleaner or a sweeper. Most of them take student loan. They do not depend on parents for paying uni fee and other expenses, Life long we Indians will call this girl as a maid.

Karnataka education board with their blunders in question papers and the subsequent grace mark solution has ruined the reputation of the state. High time the board is re-structured with stringent rules and buck-stopping accountability. Only when the heads roll at the top, do we see any change in the system. If there were erroneous questions amounting to 15 marks, instead of granting 15 grace marks to all exam takers, they could disregard those error questions altogether and evaluate the paper against a total of 85 marks and then convert it to percentage. That would be a relatively fair system to the honest students. I would like too call it “Duckworth-Lewis” of SSLC.

So, if I am not mistaken, the state government can have almost no influence on how the service is provided. This is the kind of tussle that is currently going in Delhi between Kejriwal and the Central Government. I think a Central MP can perhaps do something when it comes to Passports, but not a State MLA/MLC. So, do not waste time in making requests to a State MLA/MLC for improvement in Passport service.

Now you know why tipping helps. It is not called bribing. It’s another way of saying “Job well done!” It’s called smart way of getting the job done right with a smile on the face. If you want a job done well and fast don’t you have to pay more? What’s wrong in tipping a low paid, overworked wage earner, especially when the basic needs are not met? Both are happy.

My mother went through a similar situation last year when she had to get her passport renewed. She had an appointment at around 11 or 12 and by the time she was through it was 7:30pm. But she also noticed some people were given preferences without the need to have to wait at all. She believed they maybe people with connections. Will this situation ever improve?

Jay:Is shocked at the double standards practiced by Saudi People! What about we, Indians, condemning love jehad by all others, except by people RSS wants to be exempted? Example: 1. The Minister in Vajpayee cabinet and now in Modi cabinet, Mukhtar Abbas Naqui’s wife was a Hindu girl by name Seema. He forcibly converted her to Islam. Example 2. Minister in Vajpayee’s cabinet and a prominent Muslim leader of the BJP, Mr. Shahnavaz Hussain married a Brahmin girl, Renu Sharma, after converting her to Islam! Example 3. Late Mr. Sikanda Bakth, BJP Vice president and Vajpayee appointed Governor of Kerala too was a “Love Jehaadee”, who married a Hindu girl after converting her to Islaam. RSS HAS HONOURED ONLY LOVE JEHADEES AS MINISTERS IN THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT AND NOT ANY OTHER SIMPLE AND GOOD INDIAN MUSLIM. IS THIS NOT DOUBLE STANDARD BY RSS AND BJP? WHY THE RSS IS SILENT ABOUT SUHASINI HAIDAR, DAUGHTER OF RSS LEADER, SUBRAMANYA SWAMI?

From Anand Dsilva on Mangaluru: Got Patience! For it will be a 'Long Wait' to get your Job done at Local Passport Office

Alfie, I don’t know how you can write on vast topics that catch the attention of readers like me. I cant help but leave a comment every time. About 3 years back when coming on vacation a immigration officer pointed that my PP is damaged and I need to get a replacement. This was updated in their system when coming to India and there was no way I could go back until I renewed the PP. Since there is a PP office in Mangalore I thought it may not be a problem. One thing is that most problems can get resolved in the PP office instead of relying on the H.O. in Bangalore. Bad thing is the system or mechanism that is in place. I saw lot of people lined up outside typing centres to get an appointment. It has to be online. For those who do not know to operate computers have to rely on these centres. Secondly the system inside the PP office is quite good but in case if you want to enquire something there is no information desk but you have to rely on a small window outside on the right side of the building. So when you have modern facilities to come and sit inside this window where people have to bend and wait and ask questions again seems we are back in the 70s. Computer appointments and Window information cannot go hand in hand. The practice of window answering must be put to an end as it is uncivilized and there should be separate customer service room where people can come inside and resolve their issues face to face. I was forced to go to Bangalore and the situation there is actually much worse than Mangalore. Once you address a problem on a sheet of paper you are allowed inside. There are about 10 counters to inquire about your problem and trust me these 10 counters send all the people to just one counter where a struggling lady has to address the problem one by one. (it must the opposite actually where one counter must send people to 10 counters). This poor lady was helpful and promised she would sort out the issue in 5 days and kept my papers on her desk but since there was no reply after 2 weeks I was impatient and when I returned there I couldn’t believe that my papers were on her desk the same way I left earlier. Anyway she got it done quickly. I honestly believe to address these issues we do not require interference of politicians as bureaucrats in the respective field must take a lead and address these issues.

When we don’t have decent ‘Forensic lab’ to investigate late Mrs. Taroor wife death or Talwars daughter, how does one will ascertain Varha or Gomatha? The majority appeasement law which passed under pretext of agrarian Bovine, is the sole purpose of hitting Muslim minorities economically hard. How does GoMath can be fit for exports but banned for domestic use? Why does it doesn’t become Matha in BJP ruled Goa and rest of its ruling state? Why the ban doesn’t take tall on Hindu Beef exporters but innocents targeted by Go Rakshasks? Jai Hind Jai Hind

They fooled voters by promising 15 lakh by opening 10 crores accounts with zero balance. Only 33% of Modi Bhakathas believed in this story and voted in masses. But less than year later ‘Jumla’ cost them dear in Delhi. The party of difference hanged pictures of former BJP president Bangaru Laxman was caught counting wads of notes and saying “Paisa khuda toh nahi lekin khuda ki kassam khuda se kam bhi nahi” that he had accepted from a Tehelka reporter who was posing as an arms dealer in return for hiring the latter’s company to supply hand-held thermal imagers to the Indian Army.

From B. N. Pai on 'Ravi called woman batchmate only once on day of his death'

Mr. Mango asks, “where is Kumbla” and adds “He had so many theories and grievances about D.K.Ravi.” Yes, what was revealed was about 44 miscalls by Ravi, apart from the received call made by him, which was received only once. As stated by the counterpart and her husband in the court asking the court for giving an order not to reveal the details of investigations about the calls made, the details of the miscalls made was admitted in that case. It was also stated that the counterpart in the call chided saying that she is married having a child and opposing the request to fulfill his desire. She even asked, ” Are you kidding?” Having opposed that suggestion, all subsequent calls were not responded and hence and they all became miscalls! The CBI intentionally avoids about the number of miscalls made by Ravi to her. What makes the CBI to give these partial details, without giving the full details? The CBI is not supposed to give any half baked details at this stage of inquiry, unless it is politically motivated to do so to please their present political bosses! That is why Modi had called CBI as the Congress Bureau of investigation then. The only difference is that it has become the BJP Bureau of Investigation, now.

From sas on IAS officer's death, BJP slams 'dirty tricks' of Karna govt

These dysfunctional ministers are accustomed to loose talks and used to get away with it in the past for lack of media coverage. Their habits are hard to change. Instead, the voting public should get rid-off them as they lack basic training and upbringing needed to think and talk wisely and their irrational and uncultured behavior make them unfit to serve the growing and educated masses of India.

The whole revelation of the preliminary report sounds like a political press release. No actual sources, but a collective noun of CBI. Surely the matter will go to the court and the details will be provided. But right now it is no more than political point scoring. There is much more to the case than meets the eye.

From Anand Dsilva on Since when Pork has Become Beef? Cops Harass Goan Lady for Carrying Pork Sausages

In any country when a law is based on religious percepts it is subject to abuse by lawmakers and their upholders as and when they like for their personal benefit. For instance, there is a law in Dubai that if you want to drink alcohol even in bars you need to have a permit. People are ignorant and there are plethora of bars where people continue to drink without permit. But, those who want to seek revenge with any person personally can invoke this law and harass his enemy. People do this everywhere and play their cards in order to victimize others. Therefore when a law is made it is essential to determine whether it can be used as a tool to misuse it. I always wondered if beef ban comes into force it can be used by some fanatics to settle some old scores or just to harass the other person to maintain supremacy.

Dear Anand D’Silva, you observed, “when a law is made, it is essential to determine whether it can be used as a tool to misuse it”. Sir, the law is specifically drafted and crafted to be misused! The beef tallow and lard were used in 1856-57 by the Hindu kings on the one hand and the Mughals and Nawabs on the other to forge Hindu-Muslim unity and wage “Sipoy Mutiny” to fight against the British. Bahadur Shah Zafar as the “Badshah of Hindistan” by the Hindu rulers involved in the mutiny and Bhagawa Dhwaj was Hoisted in the Red. So, beef was a tool to forge Hindu -Muslim unity then! Now, the RSS wants to use the same to divide the Hindus and Muslims to create and to retain the “Hindu Majoritarin vote bank”! When Nehru was the Prime Minister and Gulzarilaal Nanda was the Home Minister of India, a massive rally of “Nanga Sadhus” was staged by the RSS in the streets of Delhi! PERSEVERANCE PAYS, THEY SAY. The is RSS doggedly bent on dividing the Hindus and the minority religions to come to power and to perpetuate it.

These so-called cops may not be cops at all. Many Gulf passengers have experienced the stopping of buses at some of these locations, and cops/custom officers appearing and playing delaying tactics. At this the driver/conductor also put pressure on the hapless passenger to pay the money. It appears to me that the drivers/conductors of buses get their share of the bribe from the passengers by the fake cops.

From Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: Theft in Bendur Church Hall during Wedding - Man Arrested, Gold Seized

Isn’t ironic that our joker Praveena Pinto would ignore all those incidents from Mangaluru vimaana nildaana and focus on an isolated incident here? After all, he is not known for logic!!

From joe Gonsalves on Congratulations on your Silver Ordination Anniversary

Congrats to you dear Father Denis. Good to see that you have touched another milestone in your life span. Out of your life – you have given twenty-five years to God and the service of people. At times you have sacrificed a lot but The Good Lord is never undone in generousity He has been kind to you in many many ways. You had a very successful term in Mangalore Diocese and then you decided to move over to Udupi where as it is felt and understood you are doing a great job as a Parish Priest and a P.R.O. Some say it WITH FLOWERS and some some say it WITH SONG. God has blessed you with musical talent and A VOICE the kind of which few people can boast of. Your homilies are liked and appreciated by all who have the pleasure of listening to you. I join the chorus of many when I say congratulations to you. May Heavenly Alchemist change silver to gold and platinum. God be with you in all that you.

From Nelson Lewis on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan sparkles in green at Cannes

Aishwariya Rai Bachchan may have wowed the onlookers at Cannes with her dresses every year, but has she won any international awards at any of the international festivals? She has just won domestic awards, which do not rate one as an actress of international stature.

From shAikH mOhd rizwan on Udupi: Two years of Congress rule in state is ‘Two Big Zeroes’ - MP Shobha Karandlaje

Dear readers, As PM Modi lead central is completing anniversary Shobha madam should better present ‘Aache Din’ promises from the BJP manifesto. Rather than taking credit from ‘Mangalyan’ and inaugurating incompleted congress projects rebranding as BJP by our 56 inch PM Saheb we don’t see even ‘Bullet train’ on bilateral agreement with visiting countries. The U-turn sarkar opened 10 crores bank accounts but 15 lakh is not debited to zero balance account. He visited France,Germany but not sure when he will go to Switzerland to bring black money.He went to China din’t resolved border disputes. He says everyday ‘beti bachao,beti padavo’ but more women of India is scared to travel after dusk due to rapes. In Modi’s India “cow” is more safe than women. The criminals are free to walk free with ‘clean chit’ and honest officers are even prosecuted for wearing ‘sunglasses’ Minorities Muslims are still treated as “Kuthe ka batch”(puppy) ever since the government came to power and now 10 lakh minorities are made jobless due to beef ban. Essential commodity ,petroleum products going up and share market diving downwards. Investors are not confidence. Minimum government, Maximum phekugiri is only evident. Jai hind

Congratulations to Fr. Lawrence on taking over as the Secretary of CESU. We hope Fr. Lawrence will use his vast administration experience in education and healthcare to improve the overall quality of our Education system in Catholic Board Schools and also inculcate new methods of teaching that are required in today’s dynamic world. Our teachers need training to cope up with the new dynamics of education and more importantly they need lot of encouragement and revision in their salaries. Otherwise, we will continue to lose all our good teachers to other private institutions.

From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Don't need One more Golf Course in City' Protest Bengre Residents

We are not fully aware of the geographical location and the ramifications attached to creating a Golf Course and the luxury app apartments at Thannirbhavi. But all that we know is that a Golf Course with all the beautiful surroundings have certainly a short term and long benefits for Mangalore. It is not only the beauty towards Tourism but also renders an ideal spot for the young and old men and women to spend some of their quality time at the Golf Course near the sea side and spend their valuable resources in the right investment that brings additional beauty for Mangalore. So long as appropriate provision is made to satisfy some of the grievances of the public and make sure that their basic needs are fulfilled, an additional Golf Course is a project that is legitimate and also economically and socially beneficial for the welfare of Mangalore. Again, we are not sure what exactly that may cause hindrance to many others, because we are far away, but an additional Golf Course is always an added attraction whether it is for Mangalore or even for Bangalore.

From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Mangaluru: List of Diocesan Transfers and New Appointments Announced

Thank you, Most Rt.Rev. Bishop Aloysius for your wise leadership in organizing so many new changes in allocating so many priests to different Parishes under the Mangalore Diocese. Lots of burdens and responsibilities that go into these selections and decisions, and God’s help is always the best source of inner guidance. Allocation of suitable personnel in different important assignments is a task that is tough an delicate in any discipline that involves Human Resources. Grooming and training the right priests for the right job at the right Parish is also a difficult and sensitive assignment. Each and every Parish requires timely focus and attention because each Priest is a Special Delegate from God that has to be a good shepherd to whichever Parish he is selected to guide the faithful destiny of the parishonors. In these fast changing difficult times, specially in secular India, the Parish Priests are the best Catholic Ambassadors of the region that they command as Parish Priests. They are the real role models to everyone. May God bless you in every way, and may God bless the Mangalore Diocese. We are anxious to meet Rev. Fr. Clifford Pinto, our Assist at Valencia, and also Fr. Felix Noronha of the Bajpe Shrine during our next visit to Mangalore.

From Krishna on Mangaluru: Siddaramaiah's Dream to make Karnataka a Hunger-free State - Ramanath Rai

Freebies have destroyed our society. Because of the freebies these days it is very hard to find causal workers.. Small farmers in our district have suffered serious losses because of the nonavailability of casual workers. Most of the small farmers have stopped to cultivation because of the high cost and nonavailability of casual workers. Freebies will make our society lazy and unproductive.

Krishna is the RSS mouth piece on this forum. RSS says our society is destroyed by the welfare schemes of Congress Party intended to ensure that the poor and hungry do not go to bed starving. RSS wants “casual labour cheap” by starving the rural agricultural labourers. RSS wants to ensure that the “lazy and unproductive people” of India must rather die than live on government doles!

He asks me “before calling a person ***ugly***what about you, kindly look at your face in the mirror”. Nelson, why do I need mirror to verify an accepted fact? Yes, I am a proud Congressman. Congress is ugly to you to whom “RSS- Modi is beautiful” By his above comments, Nelson suggests I am “Ugly”. Nelson is a person who said earlier on this forum, “for girls pimple looks more beautiful than a dimple”! This is his admitted caliber. One can make out his sense of beauty and ugliness by his above statement!

Mr. Nelson Lewis, having commented on Chacha Nehru about Subhas Chandra Bose episode, you were fair enough to admit that Nehru’s name was “being dragged”. That speaks volumes about the guilty intentions of the draggers! Subhas Chandra Bose died in 1945, when the British Empire were ruling the roost in India. Nehru was a non-entity with regards to the death of Bose or the so called INA Treasure in Taiwan or any foreign soil, for well above two more years, till he took control from the Empire. Accuse him to your hearts content, for you are prejudiced!

From Nelson Lewis on Mangaluru: Siddaramaiah's Dream to make Karnataka a Hunger-free State - Ramanath Rai

Mr. B.N. Pai, I do not mind if anyone is proud Congressman, proud BJP, proud Communist, proud Marxist or anything else for the matter, but he should speak the facts. You are an ardent Congress admirer and will not admit that they have done wrongs since 15.08.1947. What have you to say about the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose controversy that has cropped up, where your Chacha Nehru’s name is being dragged? However, you are a blind supporter of Congress, even when they have been involved in scandals, frauds and other irregularities. Have you ever admitted that Congress has done anything wrong? For you, all the members of the Dynasty are nothing but Gods. As regards the quotation of pimples, you have again misquoted to portray me in poor light to those readers who have not read what I had written in the past. The problem with you is that when you are cornered, you become a pathological liar. I know what I had said and in what context, but you have twisted things. I can just rattle what I have said, because it is a saying that was rattled off many years ago, by an Indian lady at Toastmasters’ International Competition and that lady has migrated to Canada. If you say that you are a proud Congressman, then you have to admit that Krishna is also a proud BJP-man, rather than a mouth piece. In fact, you are Congress’ flunkey and a shameless admirer. Are you trying to imply that being a Congress supporter is acceptable, but being supporter of BJP or any other party is wrong?

From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Udupi: Bishop announces first List of Diocesan Transfers and New Appointments

New appointments, promotions, transfers, special assignments etc., are valuable and important in the Catholic Diocese. The changes enable priests to move along to different areas of the Diocese and interact with new parishoners and share their leaderships and also propagate their faith. In America, the Priests also have a choice and opportunity to express their own desire to move into another Parish, if possible, so that perhaps they can prove themselves better in an environment that is more conducive for them. The Priest has a tremendous responsibility to service the people and make the best that he has so that the Christian faith may further expand by proving his leadership in different areas of the Diocese. The most important thing in this time and age is to make sure that the Priest as well as the people of the Catholic congregation get the best benefits to prove their faith and be a role model to each other. India is a classic example where the Church and the people have lot to dedicate to each other for and beyond our daily faith. A Parish has a great deal to offer to the people in their surroundings in times of mutual needs so that our Christian faith becomes a living example to many others that belong to the secular world.

What’s honeymoon got to do with kukus? Is there a side to the honeymoon I am not aware of?” queries James Henry! Apparently needs instructions on reproduction!! Waste elimination; whether solid, explosive liquids, or gaseous; nasal, oral, sneeze, tears or perspiration upon exhaustion, need rather immediate ablution or purification. To help smooth this process it’s better to have a lavatory/kakus/latrine close by; rather than wading through a rivulet; water hole; or letting the sea waves rain, or FISH to wash and cause the fish to smell just like us, on day two. I can be more specific; but this site may not output my versions. Thanks.

Congratulations to you, dear Fr. Denis, on your completion of TWENTY FIVE YEARS as a priest. You have done a fine job as a priest and also as a Citizen of India. You have prayed for tens of thousands of people during your daily liturgical services, and others also have prayed for you on your dedicated and noble priesthood. We met you first at Sandesha many years ago and we were impressed with your leadership and your talented entrepreneurship. We have seen many of your achievements in the Mangalore Diocese and now we are seeing your wonderful performance at the Udipi Diocese. We have also witnessed your creative performance when Mangalore celebrated centuries of establishment at Nehru Maidhan and there was a beautiful Show on the stage where you were instrumental for the grand display. Thank you for all your dedication towards the priesthood, and may God bless you with continued good health and happiness so that you may shine much more in the Udipi Diocese. We have never heard of a place called “Kunthalanagar”, but if we find time on our next trip to India we shall try and visit you personally and honor you for your successful accomplishment of priesthood for twentyfive glorious years.

You don’t do any justice to the country or your State nor do any justice to the population by handing out freebies and see the poor remain as poor for rest of their lives. Instead, you should be helping the poor and needy to help themselves in getting proper education and decent jobs that would put them out of poverty and the education they get will help them determine the gimmicks of politics and decide on the right candidate to vote for. Taxing the hardworking people and handing out to poor will only help your party in the short run, but destroy the very economic fundamentals and contribute to the retarded growth of the country.

From Nelson Lewis on An unforgettable character

“Such persons are pushed in your department, because the management knows, you can train him; motivate him; and you can do his as well you your job within eight hours,” by James Fernandes. Your comments are quite right, if a person has brains, but sadly this person lacked one. People from Philippines used to call him “dumb” and people from his own community used the same word in their language. As he first worked in construction companies, getting employment presumably with the help of a fake certificate, the house he was constructing fell off like a pack of cards while working for one employer and in the second he was in a truck carrying cement, sand, bricks, etc. and that vehicle got involved in an accident and everything was strewn on the road. This was with the second employer. So, due to being incompetent, lacking imagination and versatility, he lost jobs and his father advised him to take up some other profession. Since he was not a marketable commodity, lacking qualifications, skills, etc., he would grab whatever jobs that he got, whether he was able to do it or not. He could not draft memos, letters, forget about preparing reports, policies and procedures, job descriptions, taking down minutes of the meeting, talking to other Indians outside his community or foreigners. I would help and mentor everyone that was directed by superiors or approached me, but not this son-of-a-gun, because he was, though a Class I idiot, try to act sly. He would try to cover up his faults by telling his community people that he has lot of work to do and is under intense pressure doing three employees’ jobs and no one cooperates with him. People who had visited the department and see him work and the fiascos, would give him back and shut his mouth or snigger away in an insulting manner. He was quite a character by himself and when an employee was talking about him to another employee who did not know him, they would say, “Have you not seen that man who comes to work, carrying his lunch in a red school bag?” He would carry this school bag containing his lunch and every second or third day, he would go in the evenings after leaving work to the liquor outlet near the Gulf Hotel to replenish his stock. The Department had the practice of celebrating the birthdays of all employees, i.e. 11 or 12 members. You can imagine what a rustic, uncouth and earthy fellow he was, because he would refuse to wear the birthday cap, did not extinish the candle flame on his birthday cake by blowing it off, but by pinching the candle wick with his fingers. He had funny way of pronouncing words. He called on the telephone and told the attendant that he wanted to speak to Richelle (phonetically we pronounce as “Ree-shell”), but he said “Ree-challey” and thanks he did not say “Man-Challey”. Persons who interacted with this bloke will never forget him for his idiotic ways and idiosyncracies.

From Original R.Pai on Mangaluru: Holy Shit! Looks Like Panambur Beach is the New 'Toilet' Destination for Early-Morning 'Poopers'

This is nothing new. This has been going on for generations – Beaches and rivers are notoriously abused every morning by local population. Even the ponds/lakes are not safe in the hands of our community. Back in late-80s, I remember the horrifying experience of taking an early morning walk by Gokarna beach and witnessing human waste littered all over the place!!! Have you ever witnessed Nethraavathi river banks near Dharmasthala or Kannadi hoLe in Subrahmanya in early morning hours ? Purely disgusting!!! As Jairaama Ramesha put it once, India is the biggest open toilet on earth!! We need to learn a lot on cleanliness and orderliness from countries like Singapore and Japan.
