    Congrats!! The media should stop all this nonsense 100% thing. In order to get 100% result they end up filtering the students instead of training the dull students to pass. The dull students either end up doing nothing!! I feel the government should look into this issue also. How many agree??

  • From Max E Rasquinha on Mangaluru: Nurses-The Angels of Mercy,Care & Friendship! Nurses Day Celebrated at Fr Muller's Hospital

    It is nice to know that Fr. Muller’s Hospital celebrated the International Nurses Day in Mangalore with a nice gathering followed by the liturgical services at the Chapel. It was nice to witness wrapped gifts offered during the offertory. Nurses deserve all possible attention and gratitude for all that they dedicate not only for the patients but also for the Doctors as well. Nurses are a direct link between the patients and the Doctors. Nurses witness the pain, the suffering and all other physical agonies more than the Doctors, and render their personal help selflessly in order to make the patient cured for his or her illness and go home with joy. Nurses walk into a patient’s room with a smile, knowing too well the progress a patient is making, regardless of the actual situation. A nurse will always console the patient “You will be alright soon – cheer up – I am here to share your pain and concern”. A Nurse will check the temperature, the blood pressure and also the pulse rate and will appear every hour with the medication. A Nurse gets calls from many other patients, and a Nurse will run to every patient and give her best of everything in order to make the patient happy and satisfied regardless of her own aches and pains. I have been gifted with a Nurse within the four walls of my “dear home”. She is not only a Nurse but acts more as a Doctor, a Mentor, a Partner and also a Friend. She can be a benevolent Dictator if she wants to be one. She may be retired few years ago but she is getting younger in her heart, stronger in her body and tender in her touch, and she makes her dear husband for 52 years feel that he is in good shape and good health, and will live for many more years provided he listens to her and continues to be her beloved and loyal husband for ever. Nurses have been blessed with a special gift of love, the patience and tolerance. Nurses are truly “God Sent” angels without any title. They give unto a patient more than they take at the end of the month. I have a sincere wish that I should be conscious enough, mindful enough and alert enough, until the last minute of my life, so that I can hold the Nurse’s loving hands, make a tearful eye contact, and whisper to her: “Thank you, sweet Angel, for all your humanitarian dedication to life. Its time for me to say ‘good bye’ but I shall remember you while in heaven, and shall pray for you from above so that you can live longer, happier, and help many other patients in their struggles of life”. That’s all I have to say on the International Nurse’s Day. God Bless.

  • From Vinit D on Mangaluru: Holy Shit! Looks Like Panambur Beach is the New 'Toilet' Destination for Early-Morning 'Poopers'

    Saw the same situation at Tannir Bhavi. Its horrible. The culprits here seem to be the truck drivers and labourers from outside town who come to the Oil terminal. Why cant the port authorities build some toilets for these people. It is their responsibility and they make lots of money anyways.

    Have seen the same situation 25 years ago, before Mangaluru became “developed”. The fisherfolk has always resorted to this practice. Sadly the dryfish is also put on the same beach area for drying. If people stop buying the dryfish, it may send a message to the fisherfolk.

  • From Rudolf Rodrigues on Mangaluru: Holy Shit! Looks Like Panambur Beach is the New 'Toilet' Destination for Early-Morning 'Poopers'

    Shocking exposure of such large scale open relieving of locals on popular beaches while all this while I was thinking that such activity might be confined to cities with huge populations like Mumbai!! Definitely the species of fishes caught near the shores should be having a high fecal content in them!! No doubt one my friends advised me not to eat certain types of fishes like cat fish (it has definitive pooh colored yellow coating on it) and river fish which thrive near huge drains etc. should be strictly avoided and he even went to the extent of terming them ‘pooh fish’!! It would be worthwhile if some agency or body analyses the fecal content in the fishes caught near the shore and make it public!!

  • From Padmanabhan on Bengaluru: Drawing a Blank, Thieves Find Even Mahatma's Portrait Precious Enough!

    The happiness of having read a well written article evaporated on thinking about the attitude of those breaking in and the thought of what might have happened to the portrait. Already the picture of ‘The Mahatma’ on a piece of legal tender is being talked about derogatively for no fault of his. God save his name and our plight.

    Why only Pannambur beach , right from Thannirubhavi to Surathkal, beaches are used as not only as toilets but also as dumping ground. All garbage is dumped in to the sea. Naturally sea is dumping it back on the beach. there is no place to walk on this beach because of this. People who call the sea as Ganga Mata, pour Milk to it one day, dump and pour garbage on other 364 days.Some community leaders must take initiative to clean up this mess.

    Do not waste money building public toilets, if you cannot maintain them. So many public toilets are beyond use especially at the bus travelling facilities. If you build public toilets, create the position of Toilet Keepers for each toilet. Charge Re.1 per use. Public toilet needs to be cleaned multiple times a day. If someone made a mess, others cannot wait until next day for a Municipality man to come and clean, if at all he cleans.

    Who ever thought of having this unique contest to mark Mother’s day- I salute that person and his idea. Mother’s Day is a big thing here in USA- not that you should love your mom only on Mother’s Day- but all year long. I know in India, no matter if there Mother’s day or nor, children love and respect their mothers 365 days a year. Looking at the pics I can say this contest and celebration to mark it was a fun and frolic one, with a bash. To all of you who were behind this event, my sincere compliments and job well done. Congrats to all mothers and daughters who won the prizes, I bet it surely made your day. Congrats to mangalorean.com and Violet and Joseph on their double occasions. May God bless you all-for all that you do.

    Irrespective of my views on religion and texts written thousands of year ago, I respect this man for what he has managed to accomplish. It takes an enormous amount of discipline and dedication to devote time and energy to master old classical languages (Samskrutam, Hebrew, Latin etc) and achieve the level of proficiency this man did. I wish him all the best in his future projects.

    What else can you expect from these repulsive political characters? Almost all of them are dishonest, lying, abusive, power-hungry characters who expect special treatment wherever they go!! I should really thank the reporter for reminding us what a good journalist should be doing. It’s not an easy thing to walk into a tense situation, take photos of those abusive individuals in action and report on it. I wish we had more journalists who had this courage and intellectual honesty!!

  • From Vasanth on Mangaluru: Holy Shit! Looks Like Panambur Beach is the New 'Toilet' Destination for Early-Morning 'Poopers'

    Why I don’t eat Bolinger (white silver lined fish)! Unfortunately the vile scenes depicted in these photos speak of nothing but the truth of what is going on here. I visited the Thanneerubavi beach myself a few years back. Upon first glance, it appears to be a clean beautiful beach visited by many; with people of all age groups enjoying the sands and the clear waters; a beach that were if connected to ullal, could certainly even have striking similarities to Cancun of Maxico in my opinion. Therefore, upon deciding the next day on an early morning jog to take in the scenery, you can imagine my utter shock and disgust at the morning scene that met my eyes-a human line that stretched for miles defecating into the fresh waters of this beach while the waves swept the waste away; while very close by, fishermen in small boats caught the Bolinger paying no heed to the revolting scene at hand-just in these photos.

    Is it true that the sea snakes and wild catfish are on the loose? Is it true a school of salt water Piranha are on the loose, at this beach? But how about Candiru? This minnow-like fish is attracted to uric acid source.; hence finds its way through the urethra. Must be agonizingly painful. Now you know why I don’t pee in the swimming pool! Portable boxes at the beach could be a solution, partly.

If you visit a toilet there you have to pay 1 or two USD for using the toilet. Here we are happy shit on sea shore and wash the bum with sea water.Our MLAs visit western countries and pay one or two Dollars and do not talk it here.

    Congratulations to all the winners. The two nuns look very much alike. Why didn’t they get the prize? Every mother loves to hear that her daughter looks like her sister. Because the mother so loves to hear that she looks as young as her daughter. But no daughter wants to hear that her mother looks like her sister. Because the daughter does not want people to think she looks as old as her mother.

  • From Joe D'Souza on Mangaluru: Commotion after Wheel-locking of District Seva Dal Chief Ashraf's Car in Prohibited Area

    Seva Dal R…. Style. Every Mangalorean should look at the Eyes of this Seva Dal head. He had the guts to question Police Inspector about the wheel lock. What was Asraf thinking?. Seva Dal according to Asraf is: Blocking the Traffic, Parking in NO PARKING Zone, Assaulting Public and the Police, Using rowdy language in Public, and making fool of Himself. 1. Mr. Suresh Kumar, please immediately File Criminal Case against Asraf for stopping a Traffic Officer from performing duties. My request to Inspector Mr Nagaraj to arrest Asraf immediately. 2. The Man in Blue Stripe Shirt should file Assault case and Life Threat against Asraf immediately. 3. Commissioner Mr Murugan should take immediate steps to arrest this person and send Him to jail. This is one way to protect the Policemen. 4. DC Mr Ibrahim should take immediate action for creating traffic jam and harassing the Public. 5 RTO Mr. Khan should check the Driver License of Asraf and suspend it for road violations as He created Accident Prone violations. 6 Mr Nagaraj, Inspector of Kadri East should arrest Asraf under criminal act of creating Riot situation with intention to hurt Traffic Police for acting on Public Complaint. I was the one who installed the “No Park” sign under the request of Inspector Mr Nagaraj and Sub Inspector Mr. Muddy near Unity Hospital for the benefit of Public. As Allen Pereira requested for Public to unite and fight against this Asraf, I also kindly request every Mangalorean to join under good Leadership and fight to Jail this person. Final Note of request to Mr J R Lobo: Sir as Mangaloreans have good faith in your Leadership, kindly oust this Asraf from Congress Party immediately to save yours and Party respect. So also my special request to Mr Ivan D’Souza MLC of Mangalore to expel Asraf from Congress Party.

    Sounds like the classic Indian “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM” syndrome. The law is the same for all in a democracy. The offender has an opportunity to fight the ticket in a court! This is not China or Russia – the courts should intervene and hand down the maximum penalty to the offender including a day or two in jail for causing so much commotion over a silly thing – he should have accepted the responsibility, accepted the ticket, paid the fine, and gone about his business. No one should be above the law – period!

  • From B. Dinesh on China: Is it A Threat to Neighbours and the World?

    Dear Mr. Lewis Your article is very interesting, comprehensive, and discusses some of the serious issues facing India and the west. China is not only wanting to be a super power financially but it also wants to be super power militarily. The way they are accomplishing this is through industrial and military espionage on one hand and through dumping of cheap and counterfeit goods n the other. Their inattention to pollution has caused serious issues including poor health conditions among millions and polluted water and food resources in China. Sadly, the west has fallen a prey to cheap goods. China is now trying to expand its Navy as they have realized that to be a super power a country needs a powerful navy (like what Britain had for 2 centuries and the US has been having since WW1). This naval threat is only one aspect of China’s growing ambitions to expand its territory in the Pacific – the other bigger threat to the west and India is China’s capabilities to conduct cyber attack. The US recently beefed up its cyber command and is investing more to prevent cyber attacks. Sadly, the US universities is where the Chinese students learn advanced technologies and on the other hand some of the Chinese living in the US have been stealing defence and industrial technologies from their employers. Cyber attacks are routinely conducted by the Chinese to obtain US military secrets. Mr. Modi is doing the right thing – acquiring the most modern and sophisticated defence equipment and technologies form the west (particularly from the US and Israel). The moribund technologies sold by the Russians has taken a heavy toll on India’s defence capabilities. It is outrageous to notice that half the MIG fleets are either unusable or have crashed killing good IAF pilots. India should stop buying defence equipment from Russia. India should pay attention to 2 recent developments – the increased friendship between China and Russia, and also between China and Pakistan. More disturbing is the Chinese offer to invest over $40 billion in Pakistan’s infrastructure. In light of these developments, India should not only acquire more and newer defence technologies and equipment from the west but also find a way to join NATO or create an equivalent body like NATO joining hands with USA, Israel, Australia, and Japan to address the threat from China and Pakistan in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean areas. Mr. Modi needs to create a new Department of Cyber Technologies within the Ministry of Defence. India has good computer and cyber technology experts who can work closely with the UK and the USA. Cyber warfare is the next frontier – if we think that today’s terrorism is bad, cyber warfare can bring down computer and communications networks, electrical grids, water systems, banking and financial systems and of course the ability for the government to operate. Military intelligence should therefore be beefed up significantly using high-tech and simple methods. It should not be hard for Indians to mix with the locals in Pakistan and also the North East Indians to mix with the Chinese and gather information. Joint war exercises is another way to be prepared for any Chinese misadventure in India Ocean or the Pacific Ocean. India should continue to conduct these with not just the USA but also with Australia, Japan, and Israel. This will send a strong message to China and Pakistan. Many a times, the Indian military has been caught off-guard – right from 1962 Chinese debacle to the Kargil incursion. All this goes back to poor intelligence gathering methods and use of outdated technologies and weapons. One of the other important aspects is to privatize the defence industry so that competition and foreign collaboration can produce better and more reliable weapons. It has taken decades for Indian government owned research institutions and factories to produce simple things like a light weight aircraft or helicopter or the tank. The bigger danger is that none of these weapons have been battle tested – neither the tank, nor the helicopter, nor the aircraft. Compare this to the AWACS, the C-17 transport aircraft, the F-16s, the M1A2 Abrams tank, or the nuclear submarines from France or the US – the two recent India owned Russian submarine accidents tell a sad story! The Indian military weapons are all outdated except for the recent acquisitions like the AWACS and C17s. Indian army needs newer and more powerful weapons including armored personnel carriers and amphibious assault vehicles. Given that India has thousands of miles of coastline, it is time to consider developing Indian Marine Corps as part of the Indian Navy. The Navy’s fleet of ships needs to be fitted with modern technologies and weapons. The IAF needs newer fighters and bombers including a Long Range Strategic Bomber – the US is building a new one – may be good time to collaborate. Until then India could buy the B-52 – a proven workhorse bomber that has led the USAF in every war the US fought since WW2 and is probably one of the best planes ever built. All these changes need good planning from the military, the politicians, and the bureaucrats. Can these all be achieved by putting aside corruption? Mr. Modi has a very good chance as his party is the majority party now! This is the greatest opportunity to address the issues on a war footing or pay the piper later!

    • From Nelson Lewis on China: Is it A Threat to Neighbours and the World?

      Dear Mr. B. Dinesh, Thank you for the comments, wherein you have expressed your views and I feel that the same are quite reasonable and I agree with them. India is unfortunate to have two neighbours, namely China is a totalitarian, communist and country that likes to grab other territories, create problems and unrest and Pakistan, which is a country which is run by the Army (as their Prime Minister is a mere dummy, who dances to the numbers played by the Army and the military establishment) and is also a country that is notorious across the world for being a factory that produces terrorists and delivers the finished products to their clientele through its convey belt system. I also agree with you that Russian arms are inferior, though cheaper than western arms. U.S. ams are superior, but one cannot depend on her to be a “all-weather friend”. However, India should do everything to have an indigenous arms industry that manufactures all sorts of sophisticated arms and till then, buy the best arms from the U.S. European countries and Israel. As you rightly said, India should have treaties and military alliances with the U.S. U.K., N.A.T.O., Israel, Japan and all other countries that feel threatened and/or alarmed by the China’s defence expenditure which is only second to the U.S. China is the second largest spender on defence and, naturually there, has the world’s second largest military budget. India should increase its military expenditure to 3.5% or more, without taxing Indians, just by pruning their unwieldy, lethargic, creaky, incompetent and corrupt employees in the Government Departments starting with Railways which has a workforce of 1.7 million men and quite a number of them just come to work place (at Railways), sign the muster and go to work outside. They have an arrangement with their superiors. So, this is the case of, “You scratch my back and I scratch yours.” The Government could get rid of excess manpower in Government Departments starting with Railways, which employs 1.7 million men, the world’s second largest employer after the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.

    I live in a country where a responsible person with authority commits any crime, the punishment is more than normal. They are held in higher standard which means, court assumes that they should have known better than ordinary citizens. Example: If a police officer commits a crime, the judge will hold him in higher standard. Ashraf should be a role model to the society. He should have done what once the Home Minister George had done when a cop stopped his car. He admitted the fault and asked the driver to pay the fine. One cannot bully because they have power and connection. That is called abusing the power.

But instead it was like a gunda fight (please see your expressions). Your supporters poured in in no time and it became show of strength. You should be ashamed for arguing with law enforcing agencies. Please tender a public apology!

      Ahraf Bhai, I am glad that you came forward and explained your side of the story. It is quite possible that one cannot see the lock on the wheel. Here in the US police lock the wheel which is called boot. The boot is bright yellow, can be visible to the driver easily. Besides, the police also put a dark red color sticker on the driver side window warning that the car is booted so that driver may not try to move the car without noticing the boot. The sticker include necessary information who to call and how to pay the fine to remove the boot. You can use your authority to implement the warning sticker policy on the driver side window so that such incidents may not happen again.

Mr Ashraf with all due respect is just another TDH He has outrightly broken all law. Simple Citizens should publicly reprimand such behaviour. Its Utter Nonsense he went to get medicines. IF such is the situation there are many Medical Shops in the locality and Unity Hospital has a inside parking. Its Just another Showing of High Handedness of Political Juniors who show of their strength. Lets all unite and support the Cop who is very well mannered and responsible from all known sources

Like I said, their choice is a private matter and not newsworthy. and by the way..the hush hush is no longer hush hush since it is now posted and their photos are all available. Good to also know that political organizations have nothing better to do than try and convert people. Hmmm..wonder what was promised to the family in return!

    People should take the responsibility to maintain it clean to make Swatch Bharat Andolan a successful project.-Mr.Krishan,India, Dear Sir, As part of ‘Swachh bharat’ campaign I had seen only politicians with snap shot cover page. While our Father of nation Mahatama Gandhi is used to clean his own toilets, I haven’t seen not a single BJP volunteer among 10 crores cleaning ‘Public toilet ‘ for the same cause. The same Indian diaspora in other nation respect every law of the country but spits on the streets and urinate on the walls. The question is how long one will spend time on cleaning, when cleanliness is not part of the daily rituals and there is no common sense of hygiene conciseness? I bet you you must have done the same, many go to the restaurant and taking piss after the meal and in the cash counter use the same golden spoon to chew some ‘Masala’ at the counter? Jai Hind

Flush never works. Building toilets may be a easy job. Who will maintain and look after it. ? Bus stand and railway station toilets are dirtiest places on the earth. People should take the responsibility to maintain it clean to make Swatch Bharat Andolan a successful project.

    Good job PUCL revealing the facts. Here couple of questions: 1.Why the advocate(s) not arrested instead of Gladys Almeida. 2.Who has issued the marriage certificate to Everest Pereira and Gladys Almeida? 3.Since Everest Pereira already married in church who has issued him NOC to marry again in France? The church authorities (if they have issued the certificates) are at fault and the advocate(s) who has(Have) forged are the ones who deserve the punishment. Once the marriage certificate is proved fake or wrongly issued by the church authorities. they should be questioned.

    Mr Casmir D’Souza,all my SUPPORT to You,and to everyone who supports Commissioner Hepsiba Korlapati. I have written in my comments in the past, requesting every Mangalorean to support Her for better future of Mangalore. She is the best Commissioner Mangalore had during past few decades. Some of the Corrupt Corporators cannot stand because She is a thorn in their eyes. Also some of the Corrupt Town Planning will not tolerate Her due to Black Money shortage in their Pocket. Also some in the Engineering Department are questionable, to know if few are real qualified Engineers or black money specialists. Mr.Casmir D’Souza, please contact Mr. H.Kamath and other NGO’s and fight against the Corrupt Corporators. Also I request you to contact Lokayukta Police, to investigate financial dealings of them. Without even doing any work Corporators own Expensive Cars, Apartments, built more than Crore worth house plus many Properties they own after they became elected. I kind request to Media Persons, please join these NGO’s and fight for Commissioner. Also keep an eye on Corruption inside MCC. Mr Alfie write a Investigative Article through Mangalorean.com by meeting Mr.Casmir D’Souza and Mr.H. Kamath and others who support the Truth.

    People should practice hygienic habits. Usage of toilets as opposed to road side and river side defecation is the first step. Spitting has to be punished when done in public places. People have the habit of spitting paan. It may take many years for some improvement in these areas. Eventually it will happen. Women have more sense and decency. They should refuse to marry uncouth characters who have no regard for decency.

    It is sad – very very sad that the situation has come to this level of The Corporation commissioner asking for police protection. In the interest of all concerned and the people of Mangalore it is expedient that all try and bury their hatchets and come together and work with unison. Unless this is done and unless people at different levels make it a workable proposition, there is bound to be confusion. Hope that better discretion prevails and together all make an action oriented and result oriented PLAN

    And here is Mr. George Pinto again with an impeccable track record in action. Nothing escapes the attention of Mr. Pinto and he is known for his integrity, strength of character and above all a bold stand when it comes to rules and regulations. It is true that a lot of liquor gets smuggled into Mangalore from Goa. Whereas so many cases have been detected – many go unnoticed. In the execution of his duties of course there are efficient people like Shiva Prasad and Ratnakar Rai to assist Mr. Pinto. I am sure people have various ideas on the issue. It is best that these ideas are translated in factual terms and presented to The Excise department to ensure that Mangalore becomes a model city.

    Dear readers, This is another classic example of blunder promised during election rallies with the slogan of “Sab ka sath,sab ka vikas”. The two times elected CM of Gujarat literally thrown her own wife under the carpet, until Supreme court passed verdict to fill all the columns in the affidavit for candidature. While our sisters,daughters,mothers are not even have enough safety to walk after the sundown, PM Modi’s central leadership given commando cover which restrict the privacy of her movement.Apart from this Baba Ramdev who has provided free election campaign to BJP behind Anna Hazare anti corruption crusade and Sangeet Som who posted fake video with inflammatory comments during Muzaffarnagar riots are ‘Aache Din’ and good governance examples. This security is nothing but subjugating her to from media gaze to hide from truth. Jai hind

  • From Mangal on Mangaluru: Instead of Criticizing Modi, Rahul Should Know his position in Congress - DVS

    “Instead of reacting on the bill without understanding it, [Rahul] should discuss such matters in the parliament.” Report quoting Mr Sadananda Gowda. In our beloved country, not many things are discussed in parliament. Parliament is used to bulldoze some people’s wishes. The real battles in India are fought outside the parliament. For example, when the globetrotter and his other half promised lakhs of rupees to each Indian as their just share out of the black money stashed in Swiss banks, those promises were not made in parliament. Those promises were made through the media, to the gullible public. Many political illiterates among the public actually believed in the promises made by the handful of people from the trader community. That unfortunately is the sad state of events in India. The 70% of the have-nots still trust the hollow words from the 10% of the haves, and continue to remain the have-nots. Can it get any worse than this? What India needs right now is to have globetrotter-free government in India. Everything will be sorted out once that has been achieved.

The Information Broadcasting ministry,Censor board are the indirect contributors to the raise of such crimes.The government need urgent attention and need to ban all the x-rated contents and put age restrictions.

  • From Max E Rasquinha on Qatar: With 'Tears and Cheers' Toastmasters Clubs Host Farewell Bash for DTM Vijaya Monteiro

    Great Job, all members of the Toastmasters Groups in Qatar to come forward and extend your farewell messages and rituals to Mr. Vijaya Monteiro as he is ready to embark upon his new journey. What a beautiful gesture to proclaim the friendship and leadership of Vijay Monteiro and honor him for his meritorious services towards the Toastmasters World in the presence of his family. Mrs. Monteiro will now realize that her husband did not waste his precious time each week or each fortnight. I am glad to see my friend Sonny Verghese was also there to greet and felicitate. The most valuable gift of a farewell to a Toastmaster is that he or she is encouraged to move forward in life amidst cheers and tears, and also able to look into new possibilities of establishing new Toastmasters Clubs wherever he goes so that he can then appreciate all that he earned as a Communicator in his life in Doha, Qatar. This is how I personally felt 36 years ago when I was given a “teary farewell” in Dhahran at the Stanleky Hall of Aramco. Since then I became a Toastmaster in 3 separate Clubs in 3 separate Districts. Let Mr. Vijay Monteiro loudly proclaim his devotion towards the Toastmasters and establish many more clubs wherever he goes, and make the world a better place to live. Whether he is young or not, life is wide open for him to prove his leadership, his dedication, and his communication skills and pave way for many more individuals as well as groups to shine in their pathway of success. The world is wide open with carpets in red, blue and even purple. Qatar is now the richest country in the world, no doubt, but the richness is not because of the oil or gas beneath the soil but because of the gift of people Qatar earned from all parts of the world to make the Sheikhdom so productive and successful. I have 58 years of dedication to the Arab World, out of which I have spent a great deal of time as a humble leader and communicator, and the life was good. The journey of a Toastmaster is not over until it is really over.

    Its really sad . Everyday we hear about the accidents & deaths. But so far no Strict measure has been taken. Please make humps at Hampankatta roads, so that vehicle can be slow down. Also its better to built few bridges so that people can cross the roads safely.

  • From Nelson Lewis on Bengaluru: City Railway Station to be Named after Valiant Fighter Sangolli Rayanna

    The Indian politiciains do not do any work for the people, who have elected them and keep fooling them by changing the existing names of roads, heritage and monumental buildings, edifices and institiutions to those of personalities that have just local or regional stature (and have no national or international stature at all). I have not heard the name of Sangolli Rayanna and after sometime, I will forget that. You ask any child outside Karnataka, if they have heard the name of this personality and they will say, “NO”. Well, everyone knows Mahatma Gandhi, Lokmanya Tilak, Jawaharlal Nehru, Motilal Nehru and personalities of similar stature, but not this person. During the course of my work day, I meet a lot of people who introduce themselves as Peter, Suresh, Balbir, Dorabji, Abdul, Mohammed and if I have not documented their names with a brief biography, I will forget them and I will not have a trace of them at all. If you wish to honour an Indian personality, build a new road, building, etc. and give it that name. In Bombay, there were many buildings, streets, areas, etc. that had British names and due to netas total dislike of British rulers, they have changed their names. Though, we are a democracy, they decision-makers are the netas and people have no say. I believe many big statues of various British personalities have, over the years, been removed and kept in the Munipality premises. You just cannot say all British were bad. There were some who did good for the people they ruled and introduced many systems that has helped us a lot, say education, hospitals, bridges, roads, etc., which have stood the test of time. I am quite confident that British rulers were no where as corrupt as the present day netas, who may go to temples and do all sorts of rituals, but at the end of the day they are rotten and corrupt. However, we Indian are very patient and tolerate them and some go to defend their icons, whom they consider as Gods and vehemently oppose any criticism of them in scandals and other irregularities.

  • From B. Dinesh on The Pathetic Academic Culture of Mangaluru

    Dear Mr. Lewis You are absolutely right. All that the Indian politicians have to ask themselves is – “why is it that Indians do a lot better in western countries and how is it that a few of them even were awarded Nobel Prize?”. And you have answered the question correctly – “The best Indian brains suffer due to the inherent red-tape, nepotism, corruption and all other evils prevalent in India, compelling them to emigrate to U.S.A. and other fresh pastures. And these brains have been a blessing in disguise to their adopted lands.” – Indian politicians have been interested in the remittances and investments from the NRIs. They have no interest in creating opportunities for the brightest and the smartest. Indians in the USA not only have a higher median income than the local Americans but they also are the highest earners amongst all ethnic groups!

    BEGGING – this is a well written article by Ms. Violet Pereira and her team. In Udupi town too begging is going unchecked. There is a syndicate of young ladies begging with an infant tied to their waist. This is a big gang from outside of Karnataka. These ladies beg on the KM Marg, at all these 4 bus stands, Udupi Municipal, City, Service, and the Manipal bus stands. They target mainly ladies believing that ladies are merciful and compassionate, and can easily be fooled too! The Police personnel observe these beggars, but take no legal action, and this activity goes unchecked. When was the last time Mangalorean.com visit Udupi to check this menace?

  • From Satish on Mangaluru : Tata-Sky CSRs are the 'WORST' People to Deal with in Solving your TV Channels Issues

    So don’t trust the TATA brand any more. I was using their cars, tea, salt, dal, gold (tanishq) and Tatasky. The bank whose ATM cards I use has a maintenance contract with a TATA company – TCBIL. They seem to collect the money from the banks but have subcontracted all the work doen the line, up to sweeping the ATM rooms. Most of the ATMs don’t work, cash loading is at the whims of the sub-contractor so most of the time “cash out”, A/Cs are not working, doors don’t close, no sweeping or cleaning. Never expected any company taking a large contract to do this. Because of the bad ATMs the bank has lost many customers. Now Tatasky. Down since April 1. Today I receive a message about recharge due! No proper response from maintenance, only false promises of coming to attend within 48 hours. The hour never comes. I am shifting providers tomorrow, the beginning of the next month. The TATA brand cannot be trusted any more. Like many others out there, these people have also started to be bothered about the sale only, not the service. Time to move away.

  • From Nelson Lewis on India Needs to be Ready to Face Wars and Internal Crises

    Dr. Manmohan Singh was India’s most incompetent Prime Minister who left the country, people and mainly the armed forces in a total state of neglect. Though, he has been perceived to be the honest man, the very fact that as the Prime Minister of the country, he kept his eyes closed and did nothing, speaks very poorly of him. Even his own community of Sikhs make jokes of him. He was the Godfather of all scams and irregularities and took orders from a person, who had no skills worth a name. Dr. Singh could not handle Pakistan and did not give any sense of direction to the armed forces and left them in a state of utter confusion. On the contrary, he sent choicest mangoes, sweets, etc. to the highly corrupt Prime Minister of Pakistan. Dr. Singh sat on the Prime Minister’s chair in order to enjoy the perks and privileges that go with that position and the free foreign trips he could make with his wife under official capacity, though he could not show any results. He is an utterly shameless and pathetic person. Mr. Narendra Modi may not be a perfect leader and he has his faults. However, when it comes to country’s security and the needs of the armed forces he is responsive. Further, in Nepal’s earthquake tragedy, he has acted very, very fast, before China and others could make an entry and take credit. In case of Dr. Singh, he would have done nothing, until he got the nod of his boss.

  • From B. Dinesh on The Pathetic Academic Culture of Mangaluru

    Dr. Ahmed, I am not sure where to start the response to your extremely well written article about academic issues in Mangalore. First of all, I am surprised that you decided to go back to Mangalore after earning a PhD in Mathematics from UC Davis! May be you felt that you had to give back something to your country. The issues you raised have been there since the 1960s. I attended St. Aloysius High School and did my Pre University at st. Aloysius College. I then left the country as I had seen no good opportunities in India at that time. When I matriculated in late 1960s, the SSLC syllabus was set by a board in Bangalore. The paper was set by another team of teachers and the answer papers were corrected yet by another group! None of the teachers who taught me had a say in setting the syllabus, the test papers nor in correcting the answer books! This was the same pattern in PUC under Mysore University! Somehow I managed to get good grades. Yet, when I applied to the then Tata institute to attend a 3-month Fortran programming course, I was rejected as I had NO degree in Mathematics! This is what they wanted! Disgusted, I left the country and went to London – got my degrees in Computer and Software Engineering. None of my examination papers were set by anyone else other than the professors who taught me nor were they corrected by someone else other than the professor who taught the course. I worked for a few years in London and also taught as an Adjunct Professor. I moved the US 30 years ago and have been working for a large computer company and also been an Adjunct Professor at a local university and have taught over a dozen different courses and thousands of students. Never has my university or department ever intervened in my teaching affairs. The undergrad committee sets the course requirements, pre-reqs, and objectives. I set the syllabus, I set the quiz/exam papers, grading policy, and I grade the papers. This is the general method in the USA. I am writing this for the benefit of others and not Dr. Ahmed as I am sure that she has gone through a similar process at UC Davis. BTW – I also taught students from Tata Institute and IIT and of course I had the last laugh! Dr. Ahmed, you may be better recognized at a different educational institution than the one in Mangalore. Often, we all are a victim of our own emotion based decisions. The quality of teaching, the quality of students in India has been eroding for decades. Everyone in the computer industry India wants a fancy title like ‘software engineer’ though they never did a computer or software engineering degree! There are layers and layers of management in US companies operating in India while in the west the same companies are reducing the layers of management. When these students from India come to the US, they first look for old examination papers – a habit from Indian college days – and then when questions are not repeated as they expected, they are a disaster! Your talents and capabilities deserve a lot better – you may want to come back to the USA and teach here. Like many highly educated and well qualified Indians, you may find peace and success here! I wish you every success.

      Dear Mr. B. Dinesh, It was quite interesting to read about your experiences. The best Indian brains suffer due to the inherent red-tape, nepotism, corruption and all other evils prevalent in India, compelling them to emigrate to U.S.A. and other fresh pastures. And these brains have been a blessing in disguise to their adopted lands. I am told that every third or fourth engineer, professor, lawyer, scientist and other professionals are U.S. nationals (of Indian origin). 63% of U.S. nationals (of Indian origin) are graduates, whereas the “All America” percentage is 36 or 37%. Whereas, the average annual earnings of U.S. nationals (of Indian origin) per head works out to $ 90,000/-, whereas the “All America” average works out to $ 55,000/-. At least these figures should open the eyes of the Indian politicians.

    Poojari forgets the fact that Modi became what he is today because of thousands of Sakshi Maharajas and Sadhvi Prachis who made false allegations, who spread religiously infuriating rumours, hyped Hindu religious frenzy and divided the Indians as Hindus and non-Hindus. In fact, Modi belongs to their league and fraternity. How can Modi take any action against his creators who made him a Prime Minister from out of a RSS pracharak, who thrived on their path in the past to achieve his present heights? Modi can be anything but not a traitor to the RSS!

    India is virtually dependent on imports for sophisticated weaponry and it is high time that the Government…..Nelson Lewis. Thanks for the good article. Since Independence India has never made any attempt for manufacture of defene hardware. Successive Congress governments in their 57 years of rule always enjoyed arms import which gave them ample of opportunities to fill their coffers with kickbacks. DRDO has always remained as a most inactive organizations. Modi government for the first time is trying to change face of DRDO. Modi government approved the termination of the contract of Mr. Chander with effect from January 31. Mr. Chander was a retired guy. MMS gave him extension for 18 months for his inefficiency. UPA government never felt that DRDO needs an efficient leader. India lost more Piolets due to MIG crash during the peace time than during the war. The cause of Russian made INS Sindhuratna disaster which killed 18 Indian Navy Sailors will remain a mystery forever. Make in India policy will be a big boom for Indian economy. When a small country like Israel could become self-reliant why not India become a global power in defence productions.

ALL HIS ACHIEVEMENTS AND EXCELLENCE WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE CONGRESS. OF COURSE, HE BLOSSOMED TO BECOME A BHARAT RATNA FOR NUCLEAR DETONATION AND LATER PRESIDENT OF INDIA, ALBEIT, FOR WRONG REASONS! HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM. FOR, RAJA RAMANNA DID IT IN 1974. BUT BJP GAVE THE CREDIT TO KALAM IN 1998 FOR NUCLEAR DETONATION AND BESTOWED BHARATA RATNA ON HIM. ALL FOR THE WRONG REASONS. FOR INDIRA GANDHI PRESIDED OVER FIRST NUCLEAR DETONATION AND NOT VAJPAYEE! KALAM WAS A MILITARY ROCKETRY MAN AND NOT A NUCLEAR SCIENTIST. HE BECAME THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA BY DEFAULT. FOR RSS WANTED TO MAKE A NON-HINDU TO BE ELECTED THE NEXT PRESIDENT, JUST TO PREEMPT THE BECOMING OF SONIA GANDHI, A NON-HINDU, THE PRIME MINISTER NEXT TIME; PLAYING ON THE POSSIBLE HINDU SENTIMENT THAT BOTH THE PRESIDENT AND PRIME MINISTERS SHOULD NOT BE NON-HINDUS, CONCURRENTLY! CONGRESS REJECTED P. C. ALEXANDER PROPOSED BY RSS. RSS REJECTED KRISHNAKANTH FOR HE WAS A HINDU AND RSS GAME PLAN NEEDED A NON-HINDU, AND NOT A HINDU! KRISHNA KANTH DIED OF MASSIVE HEART ATTACK JUST BECAUSE PRAMOD MAHAJAN TOLD HIM THAT HIS NAME WAS REJECTED BY THE RSS AS HE HAPPENED TO BE A HINDU.

      Make in India policy will be a big boom for Indian economy. When a small country like Israel could become self-reliant why not India become a global power in defence productions.-Mr.Krishna,India Sir,A decade before GSLV is launched into orbit, in December 1982, India had formed a cryogenic study team to focus on the development of an engine which could generate a thrust of 10 tonnes. But the project did not take off because Isro realized indigenous development of such engines would pose major technological challenges. It then decided to import these engines from Russia to expedite its GSLV programme. The Indian quest to acquire cryogenic technology faced not just technological challenges but also geopolitical sanctions. In fact, the US had at one point tried to scuttle India’s Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) project.Despite all those hurdles and less than 300 crores budget allocation,our own space research programme idegenously built putting the nation in top six countries in the world. http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-01-09/news/46030395_1_cryogenic-engine-mahendragiri-isro In the middle of the euphoria about the launch of Mangalyaan, India’s Mars probe, it may seem churlish to bring up the question of whether the space programme could have been more efficient and produced results earlier. Before PM Modi government take the credit and talks about ‘Vimans’ flying 7000 years ago ,the 60 years of Congress ruling has already ‘Made in India’ technology. Then comes the supercomputer,The idea of such a computer was first floated in 2009 at the supercomputing conference in 2009. Intel has announced it would develop the computer by 2018. USA has put aside a substantial sum for it while India too has committed $ 2 billion. Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore are expected to develop a supercomputer with 132.8 exaflops by 2017.Then Indian scientists and technologists took the challenge of “Made in India” Supercomputer. For this purpose a new institution was set up in 1988 by the name “Centre for Development of Advanced Computing” (C-DAC). The success came within two years; in 1990 first prototype of Indian Supercomputer was built. It was named ‘Param’ (Parallel Machine), the word ‘Param’ is Sanskrit in origin and it means ‘The Supreme’. The prototype was benchmarked at the 1990 Zurich Supercomputer Show. India became second after USA. In 1991 the first full-fledged Indian Supercomputer, ‘Param 8000’ was installed. It had a speed of 1 GigaFLOPS. Even before former PM Vajpayee tested the capacity of Nuclear bombs, the predecessor government under PM Indira Gandhi designed,produced and tested “Smiling Buddha” was the assigned code name of India’s first nuclear weapon explosion on 18 May 1974. The defence ministry released the Defence Procurement Policy of 2013 which had only been outlined earlier.The full policy contains unprecedented clauses and rules that add teeth to the MoD’s declared intention to promote indigenisation. An Indian-built Dhruv, or Advanced Light Helicopter,LCA are the other achievement already in our skies. The defence ministry released the Defence Procurement Policy of 2013 which had only been outlined earlier. The full policy contains unprecedented clauses and rules that add teeth to the MoD’s declared intention to promote indigenisation. PM Modi only talked about pseudo mythological based science and still allocated worth $ 15 billion defence contract to Isreal,French and USA to ‘Make in India’. For PM Modi it is time to walk the talk rather than wearing ‘made in London’ pinned suit addressing the intellectuals in science congress to present the stone age technology to put the nation backward. Buying and running the bullet train won’t be our national pride, unless we improve the ‘Skybus’ technology designed by Konkan Railways. Jai hind

    Children of farmers are now are getting education . Very few are following the profession of their peers. We will face dire situation if migration from farmer profession to other profession takes place rapidly. In D.K. itself we are coming across plenty of farmland without nil cultivation . If this continues for another 10 years we may have to import all our food grain requirements. One more green revolution is the need of the hour with consolidated , mechanized farming. Land bill envisaged by NDA may be with this thought in mind.

Young men and women preparing themselves to be certified as future Doctors are already in the willing mood to help those who are distressed from the natural disaster. God will watch over all these young students so that they will complete their studies and will be soon crowned as Doctors to help and sick and the needy. Their heart and mind is already focused towards humanitarian gestures, hence they will certainly have a successful Medical career and they will shine ever-more with their talents, professions and most importantly their human kindness towards the sick, the distressed and the needy. “Dhanyawadh”.

  • From adithya on Udupi: Cheating in Online Shopping - Wooden Block Received in Place of Cellphone

    I agree lot of fraud is taking place during delivery. I feel this time someone has taken advantage of such a situation. Because the company in order to save its reputation are paying off the cost to the consumer. So a consumer may get both the product and cash. Things are getting dangerous. Just a thought!! Some form of transparency has to be created and the offender should be easily traceable.

    Nelson’s article is very thought provoking. One should agree that training high school and college students in military would help the Nation in times of need and other emergencies as flood and the like. Some statistics given by Nelson make us think in various directions. Thank you, Sincerely, Govindraj

    • From Nelson Lewis on Bengaluru: Archbishop Bernard Moras Appeals for the Earthquake Victims

      I am very saddened that Nepal has had to face the catastrophe of massive earthquake that has resulted in major loss of lives, injuries to many and destruction of private, public properties and world heritage sites. I have always had a soft corner for Nepalese people, based on my interaction with them during my youth and later when I was abroad. They are very hard working people, honest and loyal. Further, there are 40,000 Nepalese donning the uniforms of the Indian Army and they are a very good infantry force that is capable of fighting in any adverse conditions and even in mountains. They are highly adept in using the khukri, instead of the bayonet, with telling and lethal effect. As such Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world and this earthquake will be a jolt on Nepal and it will require massive injection of aid and funds from many countries. Contrary to the negative views expressed by one or two commentators on this forum, who always have blinkered and prejudiced outlook and suffer from paranoia, considering the geo-political situation in the region I have to commend the Indian Government for rushing immediate assistance to Nepal in matters of hours after the tragedy. India has committed mistakes in the past, especially when Sri Lanka wanted help and cooperation during the premiership of Dr. Manmohan Singh, when he did nothing and the Chinese entered in a big way. At least if India gives massive aid to Nepal, that country will be very much obliged to India and offer her massives projects for reconstruction and rehabilitation of the country.

He is doing his mite to take on the might of communal forces. Hence spare him from your constant gripe. Your appeal should have gone to Chaddiwaalas masquerading as cultural organisation. Where are they now. Have they gone into hiding. What kind of culture are they following now. Are they staying because, all those who are dead are poor or……. Do we have right to know from cultural warriors.

It is only to make other religion fellows look bad. That’s all. He has no real positive contribution to make unlike Mother Theresa who worked selfless and tireless all along her life.

  • From shAikH moHD rizwaan on The distressed Indian farmer

    Dear readers, Our Indian mass media is rated in terms of TRP only those incident in which public view is getting attention. Since Maharashtra BJP came to power under CM Fadnavi’s average 12 farmers are consuming pesticides to kill themself due to ecnominc hardship and drought situation. In order inflict more damage to the wounds,now they have banned ‘Cow slagughter’ when not even 40% of fodder is not avilable for the animals. Now the BJP government which banned cow citing agriculture reason now have no option but offer ‘Go Mutra’ ‘Gobbar’ to the hunger of farmers. While ‘Go Hataya’ is not permissible under PM Modi for domestic consumption but for the sake of foreign exchange exports is allowed by the Hindus. Aab ki bar Modi sarkar, Kissan ka parivar anath.

  • From Anand Dsilva on The distressed Indian farmer

    Madam, your articles are very interesting to read. If we reflect on our own lives we will realize just about 2 generations back our ancestors were farmers because that was the only way of generating food and making a living. Most of the food was produced in our own backyard and it goes for most of the people anywhere in India probably the world. When people got educated we thought farming is a labour job meant for the uneducated. Most of us migrated to cities and we expected good jobs with big salaries or set up businesses with good profits but in return we expect the groceries that we bring home must be cheap. Rice must be cheap, vegetables must be cheap, fruits must be cheap. So there is squeezing going on everywhere and I feel the most exploited person is the poor farmer who has to sweat it out and get nothing in returns. How can a farmer buy a Rs 50 lakh apartment? We hear a person dealing in stocks makes huge profits or someone working in a good co. earning high salary for a 9 to 5 job who can afford some luxuries and things like that. We expect our mutual funds to give a return of 10% plus, we expect our properties to fetch double in few years so why not farmer also make some money like that out of his own hard labour. If a farmer should not commit suicide we the non farming community who fill our stomachs because of hard work of these farmers should be generous enough to pay a little extra so that the benefit is passed on to the farmer. Some big companies have already this method in place that they give back profits to the farming community by giving them better price on their yields. I think these things should come out in a person out of compassion because it cannot be taught in schools.

  • From Joe D'Souza on Mangaluru: DCP Law and Order Santosh Babu SP of Chikkamagaluru

    This is happening because of some Corrupt day long sleeping Ministers are ruling the state. They WAG their tail for Cash and dance to the tune of Corruption. I know Santhosh Babu very well as a real Police Officer. Just 3 weeks back We both discussed the same topic of transfer for Honest Officers and He knew it was coming to Him. Sand Mafia is getting out of control in Karnataka,specially in Coastal areas. These good officers who catch these Rowdies by throat wiggle out with help of District Minister and others Ministers. Next one will be City Commissioner on line. Some time back Zilla Panchayat CEO Ms Tulsi spoke to me about transfer to Her because She is strict and within months She was gone. Now some Corrupt Corporators, Engineers along with Town Planning Officers joined by few more Corrupt Uneducated -Lawless ones cannot stand the true work of Ms Hapshiba Koralpati. To give these crooks some strength our new Mayor Jessie is joining. I am ashamed that Mayor is with them too. Mangaloreans please rise and stop this corrupt behavior leading TRANSFER OF HONEST OFFICIALS BECAUSE THEY ARE THORN in their EYE or face the hardship soon.

    Great job, Shriman MLA J. R. Lobo. Your leadership and all the initiatives that you have undertaken for Mangalore are highly noted and admired. You have the best Mayor, Lady Jacinta, to support you and encourage you. The satisfaction of the people of India are basically simple, because we as Indians have known the days of hardships too long under the colonial rule. We pray to God that you will continue to serve the people, and in turn, be rest assured that the people will remain grateful to you and will support you in all your future endeavors towards Mangalore. God bless

  • From Max and Jessie Rasquinha on Bengaluru: Flavours of International Cultures Come Alive at Canadian International School

    Canada is indeed a “Multi-cultural” nation in all aspects of the word “Internationalism”. Canada has been blessed abundantly with ample space, much larger than the United States. Canada has well established the Provinces where you can distinctly witness the cultural diversities added with languages and display of many origins from the global environment. Canadians are a friendly bunch of people who know too well the value of CULTURE amongst all the other features they adore from the foreign immigrants. When an Immigrant gets the Citizenship the Canadian authorities make it succinctly clear not to ever lose our heritage, and they make it sincerely known that our cultural identity is very important for the progress and prosperity of Canada. We would like to visit the Canadian International School some time in Bangalore and share our fond memories of Canada, and all our deep affection and love for all the great things Canada has extended to us for the past 35 plus years. Oh ! Canada, we owe our grateful thanks to thee !! Canada taught us all about the “Snow Country” when we landed straight from the desert. Canada taught us what is Synthetic Oil from the Oil Sands versus the Conventional Oil. Canada also taught us how valuable the Immigrants are for the growth and prosperity of the Nation, and most importantly Canada also taught us to how help each other, understand one another, as human beings. The biggest blessing, the most valuable blessing for Canada is to have a great neighbor called U.S.A.who stands by with Canada as a beloved Sister Nation and supports in all aspects of Economic, Social, Cultural and Political life. Crossing the borders of Canada and the U.S.A., frankly speaking, much easier and smoother than crossing the “Charmady Ghadi” or “Shiradi Ghady”. God help India, U.S.A. and Canada because all these 3 countries are very dear to us as a family.

    A great public relations stunt by the MLA. Since when have land deals in India been done in accordance with market value? Isn’t there an unwritten rule of 60 percent in white and 40% in black for any land sale transaction? And what about the mafia that controls all this?

    Nice and interesting story of 150 years of existence of the Conception Immaculate Church of Urwa. It is amazing how the Christianity of Mangalore survived so long and expanded so well creating a large congregation of Catholics who contributed for the welfare and prosperity of Mangalore. More and more history of Mangalore need be unearthed and publicized and that is one way to awaken the people of Mangalore, specially the non-Christians to appreciate that we too have contributed a great deal for the progress of a community as a whole even from the time of Tippu Sultan. We wonder who came to Urwa first – the Catholicn Diocese or the A.C. Nuns at Lady Hill Convent. Kindly clarify.

    I was struck in yday’s traffic on Netravati bridge and I could hardly see police manning any points.. There were no attempts by police to resolve the traffic mess.. How could they explain the jam for over three hours? Traffic did not move coming from the city even an inch for nearly 2 hours!! Police need proper traffic management training.. Despite work going on, and traffic jam becoming a routine problem no police patrolling is seen on this stretch and the area is pitched dark. At least some lights should be put up at some diversion junctions.. I agree that police force need to be increased but that is no reason why they can put in their optimum efforts…

    What Alfie wrote about Tata Sky is 100 percent true. I lost the net work more than month and still they collected the subscription money. How many times a person has to call this outfit to get their services which are paid for. Call for service and it takes at least 10 minutes for answer. Even then answers are meaning less and spoken in such a way hard to understand what they are saying. Also they will not tell when their service men are coming for service. They will not call before coming and show up when no one is at home. Their Royal behavior expect us to wait for them, 24 hours a day, for few days. I think it is time for Consumer department to take action against this company.

    It is extremely kind and noble on the part of Sheikh Humdhan bin Rashid AlMahtourm to encourage young students from India to be selected to honor them with public Awards for their exemplary performance in studies at U.A.E. Many other Arab dignitaries gathered for the auspicious occasion is indeed noteworthy. These kind of awards and recognitions are not only a pride for the selected students as well as their families, but also a awareness and incentive for the local Arab students to realize that Indian students are hard working and determined to be the “best of the best” in their intellectual performance. Far away we come from our home towns with our families, and far away we outshine in our Educational achievements and make our dreams a reality. Many of these Indian students will continue to remain loyal to their host countries and will remain patriotic in their successful existence by giving their very best to the Arab nations. It is all mutual, and it is all the process of “giving and taking” so that everyone enjoys the benefit of our hard work, honest work and determined work.
