The Dog That Went Abroad: (Panchatantra.) In a certain place there once lived a dog by the name of Tschitranga, which means "having a spotted body." A famine set in. Because they had no food, the dogs and other animals began to leave their families. Tschitranga, who was emaciated with hunger, was driven by fear to another country. There in a city he went to a certain house day after day where, due to the carelessness of the housekeeper, many good things to eat were left lying about, and he ate his fill. However, upon leaving the house, other vicious dogs attacked him. Then he reconsidered his situation, and said, "It is better at home. Even during a famine you can live there in peace, and no one bites you to pieces. I will return to my own city." When he returned, all of his relatives asked him, "Tschitranga, tell us about where you have been. What is the country like? How do the people behave? What do they eat? What do they do?" He answered, "How can I explain to you the beauty of a foreign place? There are good things to eat in great variety, and housekeepers who do not keep watch! There is only one evil in a foreign country: You will be hated there because of who you are!

YEDDY ALSO KNOWS CLEARLY ONCE HE RESIGNS AUTOMATICALLY HE WILL BE BEHIND BARS LIKE RAJA, CHAVAN AND KALMADI. NO ONE WILL SAVE HIM THIS TIME. SO YEDDY DOES NOT WANT TO QUIT. BUT ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME FOR YEDDY GOING BEHIND BARS. THIS TIME NO GODS WILL SAVE HIM. YEDDY KNOWS ONCE HE IS OUT FROM CM CHAIR HE CANNOT LOOT OR GRAB LANDS OR MINES AND HIS INCOME WILL STOP. SO HE IS KILLING TIME.

Just today I watched this video, great efforts by kemmannu TV crew, keep it up and good luck

Hey guys, I was observing your comments and I am pained when people despise India after leaving its shores. Just remember it was India which bought you up to a level where you were capable enough to find a lucrative job overseas. Agreed Indian Culture Mindset and Standards are way behind the West but we are now catching up. We all believe - Hum honge kaamyaab ek din, mann main hai vishwas, poora hai vishwas, hum honge kaamyaab ek din.

Great work Vivek.

James we have to talk about the environment politicians and the people in social awareness feed back. The priests, missionaries and nuns pray and work for the society they have done many wonderful deeds in our land their role in giving education since 17th century for the South India is magnificent gift. Look interior Karnataka there are neither schools nor the literate. I think people in Kemmannu are conscious about their environment heard they work hard to stop illegal sand mining, garbage dumping in river swarna and in the water well near the fish market, using beach as their natures call discharging toilet sewage in river is rampnt?

PRAKASH JAVDEKAR THIS IS NOT A ROUTINE CHECK. THIS IS FOR CORRUPTION. DON’T GIVE FALSE COMMENTS BEFORE THE TRUTH COMES OUT. YOUR MINSITERS IN BJP ARE ALL SAINTS. ONLY YOU ALL KNOW TO BLAME CONGRESS ABOUT CORRUPTION.WHEN IT COMES TO YOU ALL, ITS A ROUTINE. JAVDEKAR YOU ARE AN I.... IN BJP. I AM SURE YOU ARE ALSO GETTING IN CRORES FROM YEDDY TO SHIELD YOUR MINISTERS. LAW WILL TAKE ITS OWN COURSE.

All of us know and used to blame the govt., every time the national highway road used to get spoiled to an un-travellable levels at every Mansoon. We know it is a National Highway and hence the buyer of the plot is usually aware that the part of the plot which one possesses is bound to be taken away when the development is happening. The govt pays a reasonable compensation when such projects are been implemented. Over and above that, the Govt possesses the "RIGHT of DOMAIN". The people should participate thru their elected representative (such as Panchayat member/corporator while planning the project and not while implementing it. (Where are these representatives while such events are been planned?). By doing such protests while implementing, the project get delayed and the cost shoots up, which usually our beloved elected corrupt representative wants. Thus they can easily swindle the money easily and become demi-Gods. (Delay always leads corruption). Such Bandhs are harming Govt Treasuries as this money belong to us (paid as tax etc). People should take a note of this and act accordingly rather than joining our so called ’leaders’ while implementing the projects.

ತಮ್ಮ ಶ್ರಮ ಎಂದೆಂದೂ ನಾಡಿಗೆ ಶುಭವನ್ನು ತಂದುಕೊಡಲಿ ಎಂಬುದೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಆಶಯ

Mr qadheer is right The proposed highway widening should takes place at its original place not in the private land with minimum damages.
The bypass area people never expected such project in their dream other wise they could not built their homes in those location.

Mr. James feed backs and dollars are most welcome

As this gentleman Y.Sukumar said that a very good compensation should be given to the people to of padubisri town after they are affected by this project. The high way was going to widen this was known fact to every one even though why this people constructed their businesses so close to this road. The people of so called bypass area could have never build their hardship in that area if they know it is going to displace by such project.

Good job guys, keep it up

I wish to read rakno online

great video!

in continuum: Living in a foreign country with high standard of living, But folks, believe me, I do wish the same standard of living to everyone, in the world. Its nearly possible if only we could overcome all that this "name withheld person" has ventured to spit out in his/her comments, like nepotism, bribery, greed etc.
Once, I sent $400.00 to a priest in South Canara. The priest did not cash the check saying , almost like this, The questions to answer while/after cashing your (foreign) check, is more painful, time consuming, and not worth your dollars, I asked him to add it to his garbage or pollution.
Folks: By standing up to our own rights, God created us all equal, its possible to gain our Food, shelter, and clothing. There is difference between, Pray, Pay, and Obey versus, Pray, share the bills, and Let Us be Equal, as created by God !!!!

I too have to struggle for my next meal, I get the burnt smell of my imported Bangda on the pan, as the Rampanni excess bangadas left rotting/drying in Bengre beach!

S.N. India starts his/her comment Dear James our Kemmannu is beautiful. The last sentence of the same persons comment, Our people use open toilets on the beach Swatcha Graama Andolana you walk up these beaches stamp shit! which of course is a contradiction. There is dirt in every house, especially under the rug. Who cares? Why expose? Sorry, not all have rugs!
Actually, my dear name withheld person the environment/pollution topic was initiated by Ramdas Pai,:dolphin may have had addiction of the eating that stuff we call environment pollution and a gift of cancer. The local panchayat members must have taken this rare species of Dolphin fish to forensic lab in Manipal for test, instead why did they feed their dogs on decomposed meat?
I was defending Mr. Thomas, saying that he is reporting what he saw. No one fed the dogs, the dogs went to feed themselves. Just as ever since I stopped hanging on my mothers nipples, I have fed myself, on my own, much like those dogs, crows, or Catfish!!!
Anyway, I proved once again that we need two hands to clap!
Oh, yes, by the way, yes, I am in a foreign country, as the name withheld person says, (No, he did not name me!,contd..

Living in a foreign country with high standard of living sometimes makes us to think like foreigners and talk more about environment, forensic tests and autopsy, whereas majority of the Indians are worried more about their next meal and their favorite glass of drink in the evening. I am sure if the Dolphin was washed ashore half dead, it would have ended up being killed and sold in the local market.

Average poor and middle class Indians are fed up with the drama of corruption, Nepotism, Redtapsim and other such evils played at the top of the political ladder. Ministers dole of figures and statistics of crores and crores of rupees just to confuse the gullible voters but in fact even a fraction of the promised amount does not reach the needy people. Lower level peoples representatives like Panchayat members have become the favorite whipping boys of the general public for non performance. Jilla Panchayat and Taluk Panchayat bodies, once the source of government aid and development have almost become defunct due to lack of governments financial support. Panchayat system of local governance is struggling to survive and there are everyday stories in news papers about the inadequacies of several Panchayats.

Very few rich people care for the society, which contributes so much for their prosperity. They prefer to live in their ‘Antillas’ and ‘Sangrillas’ and probably wear masks to avoid the stench of Joppdapattis around their nests. Ratan Tata himself recently rued about rich people not contributing much towards the betterment of the society and said “I am an industrialist and the Ambanis are businessmen”.

Environment concerns are really appreciated. It is imperative that the have’s of mind and might contribute towards building our country one of the best in the world as it once was.

There is plenty of floating non-soluble garbage in the oceans. As mentioned by Ramdas Pai, Ocean fish eat such plastics and die eventually!

"The Eastern Garbage Patch floats between Hawaii and California; scientists estimate its size as two times bigger than Texas [source: LA Times]".

Better toilets are being proposed by Bill: "Gates Foundation: We need to reinvent the toilet By John D. Sutter, CNN July 19, 2011 4:05 p.m. EDT | Filed under: Innovation"

I pity the tasty mouth watering catfish, how will they survive? What will they eat?

Dear James our Kemmannu is beautiful. The people here surely will understand you. Its good to hear you are in Chicago and you may be well aware about the Leader Jake Williams Presents the Thorndale Ave Beach Clean Up, Series, Sunday, July 31
(This for your info only) This is the recent call for Community members: from Edgewater and surrounding North Side neighbourhoods to assist in beach cleanup and data collection at Thorndale Ave. Beach. Teams of two or three will record and remove litter, take water samples, or measure general beach conditions (i.e. number of people, number of gulls, weather conditions, etc.).
It is wise to know why this Dolphin of extinct species died. The Indian dept for the protection of endangered species will examine if someone had informed them.
Kemmannu beach is also a similar to this one of Lake Michigans beaches, we Kemmanites are very much proud about what Mr Thomas highlights it is the responsibility of Kemmannu panchayat members to solve every environmental issue such as dead creatures that wash up the beach and spread diseases. Or people use open toilets on the beach Swatcha Graama Andolana you walk up these beaches stamp shit!

May God grant him eternal rest and may his soul rest in peace.... yours loving ...... we miss you lot . pray for us..

Very happy to read this article about Ghana. Mr. Cheema also owns Kohinoor Indian Restaurant in Accra and Tema Tema restaurant managed by Mr. Keshav Rao who is from Mangalore.

Mr. Ramdas Pai: I do admire your concern on pollution, one that demands everyones attention.
If a carcass of that size is found on a beach, I am not aware of any one performing a necropsy, or finding a reasonable cause of death, If so, ..........who, where?
There was a time humans used to eat the dead Dolphin, well now the stray dogs!
Thomas reported what he observed, unfortunately, he cannot afford to take that huge carcass to a Pathology lab, he cannot afford the expenses, nor is he obligated.
He is reporting and awakening awareness, which made you and me and others to react!.
If there are no waves in the ocean, human species is sure to die!!!!!
It bothers us to see a Dolphin die, but does it bother us when thousands of children die due to AIDs, malnutrition, neglect, improper medical attention, ,... No don t bother to reply!!

Being a kemmanite we look every day news around Thonse on our favorite website Kemmannu.com. My friend Mr. Thomas , Mr. Richard, Mr. Vivek team doing their best . We expect more local news as we totally depend on you for latest upto date of around Thonse.

I agree with Mr. Ramadas pai Kemmannu. We must do something to protect our environment so that the next generation be live with happy at Thonse. We must support the leaders who really care for the welfare of society who may belongs to any political parties or religious background. May God bless all of us.

Thanks for sharing all beautiful photographs of rain and flood. Being so far from home, you miss this. Thank you Kemmannu.com for keeping us connected to our hometown. A great job.

Very very sad news of the demise of Rt Rev.Dr.William D Mello.Though his birth house was very close to my grandfather s house in Jeppu Kudpadi Road of Casia Parish, I happened to meet him in person for the first time along with my mother in 1975 when he was the Vicar General as well as Parish Priest of St.Francis Xavier s Cathedral,in St.John s Church road,Bangalore.I went to see him to get some councelling from him.He was happened to visit my grandfather Late Inthru Menezes often when I was staying in Menezes Nivas which is just few yards away from his house.My grandfather s people were calling him fondly as Willie.And finally when he was admitted to St.John s Medical Hospital,Bangalore for some ailment, I went to see him.

When I met him for the first time at St.Francis Xavier s Cathedral,Bangalore in 1975, for some councelling, he inspired me with useful teachings thoughts.He was very friendly and kind enough. He had a very good heart.And what I am today is all because of his teachings and inspiration towards me.And when I heard he is no more, I really shocked to imagine.May God grant him eternal rest and may his soul rest in peace.

Thanks for sharing all beautiful photographs of rain and flood. Being so far from home, you miss this. Thank you Kemmannu.com for keeping us connected to our hometown. A great job.

According to one mechanised trawler boat crew from Hude told me year ago many large fish species that caught in the net in deep sea have some kind of plastic objects undigested in their intestine. This is due to large scale of plastic dumped in rivers is taken into the sea by current. Environment is major issue once chocolates only sold with attractive colourful plastic wraps now Panparag Gutka and all type of tobacco made available in beautiful wrappings that attracts human’s kids. The fish is no exception not as intelligent as humans you see the intelligent of all mammals dolphin may have had addiction of the eating that stuff we call environment pollution and a gift of cancer. The local panchayat members must have taken this rare species of Dolphin fish to forensic lab in Manipal for test, instead why did they feed their dogs on decomposed meat? Thanks Thomas and Kemmannu.com please spread the awareness of pollution and its impact on all creatures of this planet earth. We all must fight this menace of pollution for our childrens sake now or never will we get a chance to do it.

Remembering very much.
His Lordship- You will be immortal in each and every person s heart who know you. Your smiling face will not fade away from our mind. Your service to the society- specially to the people of Karwar diocese- will never be forgotten.
Truely - YOU WERE ONE OF THE DISCIPLE OF CHRIST - in life and living.
Mr. Rons Bantwal- this is really the BEST SHRADDANJALI to our beloved Bishop William D Mello

Ladies fish cat fish looks very awesome mouthwatering. Hot hot curry with hot hot rice in rainy season goes good . Thanks for uploading photos.

Nice information with pictures, but I am not comfortable with the last picture editor should have avoided publishing this particular picture.

Dear Thomas uncle,

keep ready the Gas Light for fishing in the sea. So much fish in sea in river nothing. Nice pictures.

I think if the Dam in MUDALAKATTA would have been properly maintained used, then the water problems of Thonse can be solved considerably.I hope the elected representatives will take steps in this regard.

Dear Ghambeer, Oswin, B.M.Zafer, Daisy and Robot. Thanks for your Supportive comments . It feels good when someone appreciates the efforts put in . Pls Continue the same on our entire teams reports. We are currently working on a Video collage for kemmannu Tv. This is expected to be uploaded by tonight. Will try to cover more pics. Thanks Again

YES RAMADAS
THERE IS NO WATER AVAILABLE IN HONNAPKUDRU, NIDAMBALLI, MUDALAKATTA AND NADUKUDRU. THESE CRUMMY AUTHORITIES HAVE NO GOOD PROMISES ALL GUFF. I THINK THOSE WHO WON THE PANCHAYAT ELECTIONS AT THONSE ARE FROM HAPPANKATTE AND NEJAR THEY HAVE WELLS AND PURE SWEET WATER BUT FOR PEOPLE IN NADUKUDRU MUDALAKATTA AND HONNAPKUDRU THE WATER TURNS INTO SALT IN SUMMER, DUE TO THE ARABIAN SEA WATER THAT FLOWS IN THE RIVER SPEWS INTO THE WELLS. THIS APATHY EXISTS SINCE MANY YEARS THE PEOPLE HERE EVEN PAY WATER METER BILL MENDATORY FOR THE PROVISSION OF SALT WATER THANKS INDIA MY INDIA YOU SHINE.

Beautiful Pictures,
Good news report
Nice to see people enjoying there.
Vivek-You are also one with Mr.Kini, Mr.Thomas, Mr.Richard and all others in bringing out the best in Kemmmannu.com

I remember my childhood days. I can imagine the fear and excitement during heavy rains and flood. thanks a lot for the update. great job.

Thanks Mr. Vivek. I feel on our home land during flooded road. Well covered photography. Hope to see such more reports /news from you on Kemmannu.com Keep it up. God bless you.

This rain in kemmannu is phenomenon that follows every year. there is so much rain but during summer the mudalakatta regions house hold taps run dry? Thonse panchayats failure to act with the prudence to exercise under these circumstances to provide basic amenities for mudalakatta residents betrayed.
Thonse east panchayat wake up now store this water for tomorrow. the old proverb is if you quench the thirst of your people you will be Blessed!

DC declared holiday for schools but no rain it seems today, nice pictures, enjoyed, thanks a lot.
