This site is improving day after day. Political issues are avoided and
clarity of issues maintained. It is a great achievement confining to a
small town, you kept it active, there are many many sites but remain
silent for days, weeks! We wish all the best to budding writers and
POMs, and all who featured here. Pasting a photograph of the author, a
good sign, to rewind or re-memorise our memory, because the band of
all writers today at Barkur, were in cradles or primary schools, when
I left the place? Questions and answers section, to be made regular
affair, all the best friends, keep it up!

I
am resident of Brahmavar. When I was surfing the net I found
barkur.com. So I was really happy, because historical place came on
site. I remember our college days (SMS Brahmavar); we used to do some
work with our beloved principal Late Dr. B.V. Shetty.

We
heard a story from Barkur - one purchased a piece of land and plans to
construct a house there, first step to dig a well and lucky to have
good water. Next building foundation laid for the new house and the
work in progress. Another fellow next to this plot, bigger in size,
also plans to have much bigger bungalow, though water experts directs
'X' spot to fetch more water, this man purposefully chooses the
location just 10 meters away from the former. Of course the known and
unknown economic sources of the latter, encourages them to go for
larger and deeper well.
Now
the situation is the first one, who almost finished his well, didn’t
have water in his well. Today, Indian political scene is also like
this - people changing their loyalties, every second day. They not
only cheating themselves and to the parties they enjoyed power and
privileges in the name of social work, also insult the electorate and
playing with their emotions, feelings and their right of choice. The
richer one, the strong one, digs a larger and deeper well in the same
plot and makes other to weep for little water!! Alas, we get disgusted
with such wolves around us, I feel, that is why middle class,
educated, don’t go for voting?

Sir, I am glad that Barkurians are finally being noticed and
acknowledged for their achievements. I must admit that in the absence

Sir, Barkur.com is a wonderful platform where barkurians minds can
meet . I am glad that you have created such a platform. Undoubtedly,
there are countless other families who have stars in them . Let
Barkurians know how they really are and be proud. This is in interest
of Barkur community at large. There is something more I must share.
Mr. Russell Fernandes who studied in Milagres college came from
Mumbai. It is to everybody's knowledge how difficult it is for Bombay
bred children to adjust to Mangalore atmosphere and environment.
Nevertheless, he along with his sister who completed her B.Sc, B.Ed.,M
ED St Anne's Mangalore with distinction, have flourished in the
portals of barkur parish. Mr. Russell was one of the most prominent
students of
Milagres College which any Professor/ Principal should tell you. He
won numerous awards for academic excellence and poetry. He won the 1St
prize in the District Level Poetry Competition Held under the
auspices of Chethana Literary Assoc, Mangalore. His poetry have won
him acclaim from every part of the country and around the world. He
received nomination for The Young Man of The Year Award By the
American Biographical Institute, USA. The reason why I mention this is
that they came from Mumbai and conquered Dakshinna Kannada. !!! They
are from Barkur and have built a new home in Hanehalli and BArkur must
know this and take pride in them !!! With Best wishes

Why Mr. Raymond, you didn't mentioned the famous name REV.FR.GEORGE
ANDRADE of Chickmagalore Diocese - known for Kannada Retreats,
effective sermons and a great missionary in the vineyard of Jesus? He
is the neighbour of Jr Fr Tony, ordained at Barkur some 30 years
back..!A man should find a respectable place in POM column of
barkuronline shortly, I feel...

Finally our request is answered to some extent: Raymond Suares has
some Kudos to Andrade Family, finally, long overdue. Please note
Barkur.com had featured a small but neat article on Benni Teacher and
her family, the Matriarch of this Andrade family, the mother of Fr.
Tony Andrade. We (Barkur.com) have asked you readers, ad nauseam, for
details, thus we can write up an article on any one of you. Or you on
your own can furnish the entire article, without any negative attacks.
Please give us names, dates, accomplishments, contribution to Barkur,
social works etc. One of the objectives of Barkur.com is to honor the
contributions to Barkur, however, we can add any contribution to
USA, Kuwait, Mangalore or to ones' own siblings, after all, all these
originate from Barkur, and it's likely a neighbour Barkurian has been
a beneficiary in one or other form. We even wrote, Fr. Andrade's left
hand does not know what generosity his right hand is doing!
Hence, please, communicate. If you don't praise yourself who else? I
logically assume, Fr. Tony, every time when he goes to
India,
goes with lots of dollars, things, toys, books, stationery, clothes,
and brilliant ideas. Please send the details to Kishoo, and
Barkuronline will feature any article to your satisfaction, send some
pictures too. Kishoo, Archie, or Harry have no way of knowing the
beauty of the roses in Brandavan today, because, they have not visited
this Brandavan lately! We rely on you. Let's be realistic, please
furnish data. That's all Kishoo is crying in the wilderness! Suares,
you opened doors. Barkuronline is waiting! Thanks folks!

We do appreciate Mr. Raymond's recognition of Andrades and DCostas of
Barkur. It is a request to barkuronline to introduce other clans who
are equally good or may be more famous in educational, social and
commercial fields. Of course, your columns like POM,
HOF,etc
are the right steps in this direction. I heard the famous Almeidas of
Halekody and Kachhur, DSilvas of Matpady, Picardos, Sequeiras, the
famous Fernandes group, Buthellos and so on...the list hardly
ends.......

Shobha is right. We have to pay attention to Jessie's questions. These
are contemporary social issues, that affect our daily life. Folks,
feel free to send your opinions or answers. There is no competition
here. No one is gaining a paisa here. Loss may be!
There is nothing to gain or anything to lose for you to voice your
constructive or positive contribution. (Anything negative, we may not
publish here!) Voice your feelings, someone may benefit from it. Thank
you. There are lots of material in a news paper. People read what they
like, and skip what they don't like. Buffet: Pick what you want to
eat, leave the rest as is. Help us please!

Sir. I would like to wish the Andrade family best wishes and God's
Choicest Blessings for their wedding anniversary. The sons and
daughters of erstwhile Mr. Peter Andrade have brought great name to
Barkur and to the family. Late Mr. Peter Andrade was a stalwart and
highly respected man of our times. His sons and daughters are now well
accomplished in
India
and abroad. So are his grand daughters and grand sons. They have
earned with great endeavor a name for themselves in every sphere of
life.
Mr. Louis D'Costa who works here in
Kuwait
is one of those rare stars of Barkur this family has produced.
After completing his B.Com From Milagres college, he completed ICWA
and MBA from NMIMS with merit in these grades. He is now working as
Director-Finance in a large MNC in Kuwait. He also serves as Treasurer
for Couples for Christ.
Fr. Tony Andrade has earned acclaim in the USA as one of the most
revered priests that our village has produced. Mr. Ronny Andrade
himself is a well accomplished persona of Barker Especially in the
Bio Medical Field. Mr. Russell Fernandez the great grandson of Mr.
Peter Andrade has secured 8th Rank in B.Com at the
University of Mangalore Year .The only rank holder ever from Barkur in
B.Com 2002, presently, employed with a top capital company in India.
They are all the stars of the Andrade lineage and my close association
with them has been a sense of pride that all Barkurians must share and
partake. Cheers to the Andrade Family !!!!

We have to think seriously about the question/answers of QA No.5 by
Mrs.
D'Cruz,
Kuwait. If we don't pay much attention to this issue, definitely, we
have to repent in future life. After all we need our family tree to
grow...

It is a
good suggestion to rotate the Pedruchi Chavi, highlighting a Ward at a
time. The best solution to overcome losses if any. Mr Furtado is
confident or may be very possessive of his ward and its strengths. Why
others lagging behind and wait, I propose next issue may of Kachhur-gars,
be assured of my contribution and support. I am also happy our people
also star-makers in Bollywood... Congratulations!! Thank you for very
regular inputs in all Sections. With Best Wishes,
Philiph Richard.

Sir, Barkur is a wonderful village to live in . Can you tell me as to
which party is Mrs. Euguine Quadros, and Mr. Shantaram Shetty
contesting for Lok sabha election/ assembly elections. I heard a lot
about their rise to such a position in political as well as local
politics. I am curious to know about their political future. I wish
them all the very best in their endeavour. May they bring name to
Barkur. I also liked your comments of that amazon forest and
pedruchi chavi programme.
