Your article on
Milagres College is worthy by itself! The role of Augustine Dias its
physical director, who hails from Barkur, to train and bring the best
out of its students in the sports games field also a worthy point u
missed, if I have not mistaken!! one admirer and sports lover.

Born in a tiny village (Kudru) raised in Barkur, with a vision to
grow, took me to Bombay, then to Abu Dhabi, then on to my dream
country, USA. What I have learnt, gained the knowledge and expertise,
I am willing to pass on and share with youngsters of today and
tomorrow in some subjects which I will announce shortly. Hope there
are hundreds of youngsters with a vision for a better tomorrow. Aim
High.

The learned panel members, yet to answer Mr. Philiph, but one of his
Question namely, TO START AN AWARD TO A BARKURIAN, AS PERSONALITY OF
THE YEAR, looks interesting! A small fund may be mobilised, and if not
mere citation / a certificate for the good work one doing at Barkur,
definitely an encouragement. Is it not premature, to express my views
prior to panel to handle the issue..?

One thing is clearly understood, a good teacher always revered and
remembered. May it be Chooda Poojary, B.L.N.Adiga, Victor Dias, Cyril
Sequeira etc. The writing on the wall testifies, people or likes of
Ananta Ganiga, rarely find a place in the hearts of students! Before
taking a profession, one should have love and dedication to it,
especially, in services like TEACHING, HEALTHCARE, PRIESTHOOD, SOCIAL
WORK....! Money matters most, in this material world, that is a
reality, we have no option friends, but let us pray Almighty to send
best of his creations, be in these divine vocations. I am happy, our
site recognise few such distinct people!! With best wishes,
Barkurgaar.

Few more questions to our panelists as well as our visitors to pick
and answer...from Philip Richard...
1.‘At Barkur, Church and
Temples not only center of religious activities but it has to play a
role in the eco-cultural progress of the area’ – any comments?
2.If you float the idea of awarding “BARKUR.COM PERSON OF THE YEAR”,
who is your best choice and why?
3.‘We build walls, not bridges’ what is your opinion as far as secular
look of this site?
4.A man is busy at 30, get naughty at 40, at 50 haughty, and lazy at
60 and so on…. then how about a woman.
5.In these days, in Gulf and at Mumbai, Why the Konkani plays /
dramas, lost its popularity to musical nites?
Philip Richard.
Wish all barkur.com readers A HAPPY FEAST OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISSI.
May you all have a special day with prayers and heavenly blessings
through this Great servant of God.

Dear barkur.com readers,
I
was very touched and overjoyed to know that our Adiga master is
adjudged as a personality of the month. It is a rich tribute to a
great man with many talents and multifaceted man. I think Mr. James
Fernandes have portrayed him very nicely and he richly deserves what
he has done for the Mary knoll primary school in education and he is
the man for hour of need in many of common man’s ordeals.
I
was fortunate to be the student of Adiga master and he taught me
science and maths in year 6 or 6th standard. His science knowledge is
impeccable and what a learned man he was. Other than Chooda master he
was one of my favourite teacher in Mary knoll schools in year 75-76.
Those years we had Mr. Victor Dais as our head teacher and 7th
standard I had Sr. Alphonsa as our head teacher. The discipline Mr.
Dais brought in the school was really memorable and he, Mr. Chooda
master and Mr. Adiga master are the architects of Mary knoll Higher
primary school. Even though convent sisters try to take their subjects
but they were no match to this peer less teachers. They had their own
class in teaching. I can remember Mr. Adiga master very distinctly and
his punishments. You may consider them as harsh and primitive in the
modern generation but they imbibed values and discipline in our lives.
Adiga master has his own knack of teaching Maths and Science. Since I
knew his punishments very vividly as I was at the receiving end many
times. His teaching has given an impetus for me to take an active
interest in science and later pursue higher education in medicine and
masters in medicine. His classes were very curious and interesting and
time just passed away in that period of 45 minutes. He can hold the
student’s attention and wondered he was casting a spell on you at that
time. He can hold the students spellbound and mesmerise the students
with his deep knowledge of science and maths. I came to know that he
is very good in mechanical engineering and a good doctor in Ayurvedic
medicine only in later years. He nearly cured the eczema of my father
that has been festering in his ankle for many years. We are very
fortunate to have a teacher of his caliber and ilk in our ranks and
faculty in Marko school and we are very indebted to him.
I
join with other students to salute him and to tell him that we have
treasured those memories in our heart. Mr. Adiga master was no
nonsense and very strict with his own children. His eldest son Mr.
Shashidhara and Mrs. Nirmala were my classmates and he has not spared
his own kids in punishing them severely if they err or do some
mischief’s. He was man for all seasons and very straight and without
partiality. I can still remember his assembly and the discipline and
the patriotic way he used to sing our great Jana Gana Mana with that
melodious voice. He used to bring that patriotism with that passionate
singing. I knew this, as I was the school people leader for that year.
The support and guidance he gave for the tournaments like Kabbaddi and
Volleyball is invaluable. He used to assess the opponent’s weakness
and give us tips how to take advantage of those weakness in sports.
Under his and Chooda master’s leadership we won many tournaments in
Barkur and around that area.
Dear Adiga master, you have carved a niche on your own in our hearts.
I can only pray that God give you a long healthy retired life and I am
sure you will be serving thousands of patients and people in the
public. We need people like and it is people like you made Barkur a
great place for its education and given a distinct place in history.
Once again God bless you and give you long and healthy life in serving
the poor and distressed and the needy.
Your old time student,
D. Nagarkar.
