Dear Shri Philip, I too agree with your suggestions, as far as, further progress of these two towns are concerned. Remembering one's past, I feel just like respecting our parents and forefathers, and planning for the future, just like, nurturing our own children with good education. So both are equally important. Barkurgar. 17/03/2003 Dear Readers of this site & ESPECIALLY CONTRIBUTERS, We are extremely happy to note the wonderful progress of this web-site, to unite all E-Friendly Barkurians through it. Unfortunately, we are missing, in these days, quality inputs from Dr.Derrick D'Souza, Rv.Fr. Henry C.D'Souza, Pilar, Mr. John F.Gonsalves, Mr. Edwin Picardo, Mrs. Diana Fernandes, Mr.G.S.Lewis, Mr. James Fernandes to mention a few. Friends, you are gifted with powerful pen and we are anxious to learn, enjoy and happy to read them. Hope to meet you via Barkur.com very soon. On behalf of AYA Nagermutt, 17/03/2003 Secretary.ayabarkur@indiatimes.com On subject of Brahmavara-Barkur twin city development. I see a lot of effort and work back stage going on by the dynamic people there. They will certainly convert their dreams to reality. I do not like to over-estimate my ability to review their good work. I am happy to see the fast development of Barkur-Brahmavar - Barkur my alma-mater, and Brahmavar is perhaps the town closest to my native house (Kadangod, Hosur village). I too can visualise, or is it wishful thinking (?) Barkur-Brahmavar twin city (shall we for convenience call it Bar-Bra - and you will have to rename your web site to Barbra.com !!) in future becoming the independent taluk headquarters, bustling with trade and commerce, river Sita flowing in the centre providing a powerful medium for trade, transport and tourism and to enhance its beauty! Shekhar Shetty K. Productivity Services Manager, Emirates Airline, PO Box 686, DUBAI (UAE) 17/03/2003 Dear Sirs,
I am delighted to see the website of Barkur.
I am from Bennekudru and currently working in
Bahrain. Looking at the photographs and news update I feel as if I
visited Barkur. I wish the whole team that designed and hosted this
website every success. JAYA AMIN, jayaamin@batelco.com.bh 14/03/2003 This is not to contest your statement that the modern Brahmavr is a gift of NH-17, but to add, today’s Barkur should be grateful to the bridge over Sita, built in late 70’s. With all those legacies, of colourful past, what matters most is - where the Barkur stands today vis a vis infra structural facilities…. and what is in the waiting for it, tomorrow..? Dear Barkur-gar, simply to feel proud of rich past, leads you nowhere, instead plan and chalk out, think and dream big and also act upon it, the way Archie observed. Of course , it is debatable, in the interest of both the towns, a ‘foolproof development plan’ for the next decade. I too agree with your message, this web-site, and Maaibhaas.com of Naveen, can build-up a strong public opinion and persuade investors and Govt. to act swiftly at this direction. With best wishes, Philip Richard.12/03/2003. TOMATOES - A GREAT TONIC TOMATO … one of the most important ingredients in our kitchen. In previous years our forefathers was given first preference tamarind to giving sour taste to our entire dish. But now tomato has taken that place. Except the preparation of seafood. As we knew we prepare several delicacies with tomatoes. Few of them are Tomato ketchup, tomato sauce, tomato chutney, tomato puree, tomato paste and especially tomato Saar (hot and sour mouth watering curry) very popular in Udupi and Dakshina Kannada District. However, the attraction to this fare is not purely nostalgic: scientists have begun to see tomato sauce as a potential weapon in the fight against major conditions, including heart disease and cancer. The humble tomato may have a lot to be proud about. Much of the scientific interest in tomatoes has centered on lycopene. This is part of a family of nutrients, the carotenoids, which include the better-known nutrient beta-carotene. Like beta-carotene, lycopene promotes anti-oxidant activity in the body. This gives it the potential to combat free radicals, which have been implicated in the processes that underlie chronic health conditions, such as heart disease and cancer. In theory, increasing our intake of lycopene might reduce our risk of falling foul of today's major killers. Laboratory evidence suggests that lycopene might protect against clogging the body's arteries through its action on cholesterol while high levels of this waxy blood fat are believed to increase the risk of heart decease, it is not the cholesterol itself that is the problem. Animal studies show that only when cholesterol becomes oxidized (Damaged) by free-radical molecules is it likely to bung up the arteries. Lycopene has the ability to protect cholesterol from oxidation. In one study looking at the relationship between diet and heart disease in 10 European countries, a decent lycopene intake seemed to afford protection from heart disease. Other evidence from around the world points to lycopene having a role in warding off cancers, including those of the stomach, colon, rectum and ovary. One study published in the Journal of the US National Cancer institute showed that consuming high levels of tomato and tomato-based products was associated with a reduction in risk of prostate cancer of about the third. This study also showed that high tomato consumption appeared to cut the odds of developing more aggressive prostate cancer by a half. Lycipene is a lipid-soluble nutrient, which means it dissolves more readily in oil than in water. It appears that it is best absorbed once it has been cooked with oil, such as is the ease with tomato-based sauces that hails from the Mediterranean.Which just goes to show there really is nothing quite like your mum's cooking. Let’s say…Tomato Zindabad. VIJAY SUVARNA, BARKUR 11/03/2003 |
