" tamed their women like milking goats in shed? "; says Sadaa-Ananda.

Sounds like, "Temple Bulls" of olden days, literally.

Hope some one will write about the atrocities of those temple bulls real or incarnated into humans.

how?

The Jokers are followers of Nityanada because Nitya tamed their women like milking goats in shed?
have you seen the dance and stamping of dead body of his beloved father on the funeral day.

tis is excellent,we must have these platform for kids,glamour international works hard to give deserving models a platform,sonia keep it up,

Double standards.
They eat meat in Inasam’ hotel.
They eat beef at home. But serve vegetables to guests.

I like your program i am daily see your devyani program i like aba saheb

Karnataka MLA’s can watch BLUE FILMS in assembly and these kids get arrested for dancing semi nude.
I wonder why is Karnataka’s Law and Order so shameless and pathetic……….

Where is Bajrang Dal and Rama Sena now? Are these jokers tamed only to antagonize minorities?

I Like"Tumchyasaati kay pan"

ava kharach tumchyasathi kay pannnnnnnnnnnn.......lay bhari

We miss the great man, the DON of Konkani Music. A man who was so humble and down-to-earth. He really deserve such a great tribute. A man moved away but not forgotten.

HATS OFF to all the participents along with Mr. Eddie Sequeira, for organizing such a beautiful simple TRIBUTE to our LATE "KONKAN KOGUL" Mr. WILFY REBIMBUS.
A word of appreciation shuld go to Ms. Nandita D’Silva who sang "Ek Naari, Sovnsarari" in a toucing manner to Mr. Lancy D’souzas new version of music.

Really, It was a Great tribute by Konkani people in Doha-Qatar.

We miss the original..........

Apparently, these people do not know the uses of KOH, Potassium Hydroxide.

Dear Fernandes Family members,our heart felt
condolences on the sad demise of Valarian and may his soul rest in peace.

Dear Dolphy Fernandes, and all family members

Very sad to know about Valley’s (your brother’s ) demise. I met him in native place when i was on vacation during a marriage party even danced together but sad the same man is departed. My his soul rest in peace and may the Almighty God give the strength to his family to bear the great loss.

Dear Family members - Condolences on the sad demise of Kobu Vally. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Dear Maushi, Sharmila and family members -We are deeply saddened to hear this untimely death of dear Vancy. We pray to god to give you all strength to bear this loss.

Out of the four there used to be one son who could not finish school thus got stuck back. But he should be smart. He should ask money for gheny from each of the other three saying produce is needed for parents to be fed. Rest for himself salary. Money for medicines from each, but spend for half the tablet. Money for reserving burial special plots saying that our family status (maryad) must be maintained, and please the clergy. Need a vehicle to take the parents to church/temple feast, because taxi is expensive. We must sponsor the annual feast, at least once before the parents die. The more garnels sahibs(fire-works)you blow nearer you are to god in smoke. He should go for every wedding, communion, baptism, funeral and masses, visit the sick, to reciprocate the gifts, in order to maintain the status. Then where he has time to attend his farm needs? Does not matter if the cows are not fed, rice fields neglected, eggs are not picked, coconuts are not plucked. Servants for different domestic chores. Alhas misplaced priorities. Thus the fields are barren, plots are sold out, food will be delivered by caterers daily. How family farming can be continued? Need Ethics, I mean work ethics

DEAR THEJUU AUNTY , SHARMILA , VOSTER , VERNON.
PLZ ACCEPT OUR HEARTFELT CONDOLENCE ON THE SAD DEMISE OF VANCY. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE. UDYAVAR CHURCH HAS LOST KOBU VALLY

TUMACHYA SATHI KAY PAN

What you have written is very true. From the article I feel you have left Barkur. Why did you leave.
The thought of green paddy, big pumpkins in the field etc gives us pleasure. Whom shall we blame ourselves isn’t it . Earlier at least one son use to stay at home to look after the farm. Now a days every house we find one or two children and they are Engineers and wants to work in the Gulf and migrate to Canada or Australia.
Parents are old, even if they want to continue with paddy, children who are abroad force them not to do cultivation. Fields are converted into small plots and houses have been built.
Nothing is impossible. Can we bring awareness in our future generation?

This guy is now well qualified to join BJP.......

Well said, “25 paisa Chicken and 75 paisa Masala”.

Sounds like, "1 rupee present, 21 rupees wrapping"!!
It’s because, lot of us are not aware that all those masalas are from plants, grown one way or other. Who is in Mangalore growing cloves, or spices?; Unless it is Secret of course.
Why one should? It’s cheaper, yet 75 masala, but the 25% chicken is 300% costly to the farmer, unless, he has a chicken farm using growth hormones, which when eaten by children, their growth is more than their mothers. Yes, Jossey, farming is not only business, but it’s Science. But who cares? You are not coming back in 100 years to eat these fruits, or enjoy these flowers,,,,,if they are still arond, unlees in closed gardens, or museams.
Who that fellow created these comments?

Farming in DK is not professional or competitive. People do farming just because they own farmlands and do not know what to do with it. They use the same beaten down techniques handed down by their fathers. Have any of our farmers taken a soil sample and got it tested from any professional laboratory? Government of India has invested in many such laboratories who guide farmers based on soil samples what crop to grow and what fertilizers to use to enrich the soil. Farming has to be taken over by Business Men who understand economical farm size, finance, technology, labor, fertilizers, pesticides, crop rotation, irrigation, ROI etc. It is sad to know that most of our farmers toil and end up with “25 paisa Chicken and 75 paisa Masala”.

You cannot be called a farmer if you have 1 or 5 cents of rice field. One has to expand it. Pool the land make it coopertive farmig, but first learn to cooperate, and learn to share evenly (labor and profit) without greed.... Mechanize it. Transport it oneself, without using a middleman. Time to change and think differently and then risk-taking initially.
Quite a few locally rooted teachers, bank workers or Even IT workers, even priests, can pool some money, to buy mini tractors or havesting machines, and Share/Rent/Maintain. What these professionals do after or before their 9to5 white collar jobs?.
If all these commentators here could farm as children and teens, and YET go to school why not the employed adults? How the rest of the world works as farmers?
Perhaps, Cuban sugar, Idaho potatoes, Basmathi rice made in China, Tomatoes raised in balcony pots in Japan, farm raised shrimps from Philippines, Coffee from Bazil, powdered milk from Wisconsin or Alps Valley field cows, or even TV dinners, AND buy EXERCIZE machines, and pay high for fistful of tablets, or drain fat from overwight slow moving children as well.
If there is no electricity for three days, I look for plants.

CONGRATES ROLWIN..... !!!!! WISH U ALL THE BEST !!!!

It’s a wonderful calling back our memories. It’s a fact till 1980 or so.
Today, every household have 1 or 2 kids. All want their child to be an Engineer / IT specialist / MBA and do better than his parents, look for a white collar job.
Agriculture today not at all profitable, it’s not commercial… mainly because ours are of fragmented / sub divided pieces of holdings.
No one wish to render physical labor either hires or works in his own fields. We are ready to do exercise….!
There are more empty houses…. and among the occupied 50% households with retired elders! Acres and acres of land left un touched, abandoned for years.
A big portion is already bought by Land mafia to develop as Plots. People sold for peanuts, many are repenting just knowing the rates are 100 folds in some cases, with 5 – 10 years !
Everybody thinks let him do the agriculture not me. Surely for next 10 years the scenario will remain same even worse. Forget about food shortage, if you have money you will have it from somewhere or the other, quality… God only knows? In a real world of today, no one wish to be a FARMER at our natives….it may be considered as an HOBBY not a way of life……………

Nicely composed, the author highlights the beauty of labor as well as nature during those days. However i would beg to disagree, it is their generation which out of sheer poverty and unemployment sought employment abroad and encouraged the present also to seek employment in other fields save agriculture because of the pain involved. My father would have never agreed if i had told him i would be a farmer than a software engineer. What do you think?

Ramram Sangramrao. Devyani Tumchyasati kay pan. devu n sangram mala tumi dogh khup avdta.as vatt tumi akmekansathich banlele ahat kharch made or each other

I feel very bad the way nature has been raped in DK, It has literally been stripped of its beauty and glory. Those were the days I enjoyed life and reminisce. It’s a dream now!!

Congrats Rolwin..All the best and God Bless you all

I used to use thin strands of large coconut leaves as a line to catch fish.
Then they invented silk, other threads and finally Nylon.
But when on earth they are going to find a solution (liquid) to dissolve this plastics, or nylons, bountiful in oceans, without causing such calamity.
Turtles, Sharks and even Whales die un-necessirily caught in these nets.
There was a time, I used mud plates.
Then came copper ware. (Vatli-Gulmbi)
And then came Aluminium. And China’s mud.
My father the copper-smith went out of business because of Aluminium utensils.
But People Adapt. Will Adapt.
Fish will develop enzymes to digest plastics, pretty soon.....
But Can Man?
People eat what they can, and CAN what they can’t"!
Have you bought Tharle in a can lately? Thanks.

Dear all.
We tend to feed the fish that is organic and we feed em because According to Newton’s third law, for every action force there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction force. that is catching more fish in the nets so we lay it on beach.

Alas... There was’t a need to celebrate the day in a grand manner, if we were prudent enough to save our forest cover. However, good initiative and good coverage by Mr.Kini.

congratulations on receiving the award.may god bless you.frm john,eugine Dr nisha rebello kallianpur

Congrats Rolwin..God Bless you both.

It is great to have a person who is nostalgic about the past and treasures the memories of childhood as I do. I always feel that we who are above 40 are a vanishing species in the rat race of the present world.

Poverty and hunger are the 2 things which teach us the greatest lessons in the world. About 30 years ago majority of the people were dependent on agriculture to survive. Get early, Work in the fields upto 8 AM, Run to the school which sometimes a few miles away, Come back in the evening and help your parents in their chores. We saw poverty in all aspects of life, Food, Shelter and clothing. Many of us worked hard and by the grace of god reached a certain status in our life like the writer.

Compare the same with the present day children – Wake up at 7.30, Daddy rolls your blanket and mat & gets your tooth brush and paste ready, mummy gets the breakfast and bag ready – School bus waiting at your doorstep – Return in the evening, watch T.V, Play computer games and go to sleep.

Question is education and training are they the same things? Present day education is all about scoring marks. It is a rat race to reach the top. Training to live the life? No way. Broken relationships, Drug and alcohol abuse, broken marriages, Depression….. List is endless. Luckily we live only upto a certain age and may not see the whole destruction. Is it possible to blend the past and the present? Only time can give us the answer.

Excellent experience, accepting this experience shows the goodness of the writer, God bless you sir I too had such experience till I was college going..........

CONGRATULLATIONS ROLWIN!!

WISH U ALL THE BEST!

-Archie

I almost had a similar experience. It is very sorry to know most of the people around my native have give up Sagvolhi migrated to Dubai or else to make a better(artificial) life!!
Next generation may not get rice to eat they may have to eat something closer to rice made from petrochemicals or other artificial thing!!!

Sangramrao....
Very nice acting... Rangada sangram ani baikovar jivapad prem ..mastch acting...bhavishat Subhechaaa....!!!

Golden memories! I had tears in my eyes when i finished reading. Thanq sir for relishing, taking me to the past...... days which are gone.
The same work oriented genes of our ancestors are asleep now. Like our ancestors ...we are not exposed to sun, we dont do phisical work, inspite we get in to AC rooms, and eat more! How calories be burnt? U yourself imagine the consequences!
