Hi Verushka
You are an awesome writer, who appreciates the simple pleasures of life. Your vision of life is so positive and fulfilling and we adults never seem to appreciate the wonderful pleasure around us.
Thanks you for opening my eyes, your article has really touched me. |

Well done Verushka,
Wonderful explanation of Mangalore. I have not been there, but am happy to read the description of the place and to know that after living abroad, you still love Managalore. Well, my favourite food too is Kori Roti which we get in Mumbai.
Love you and God Bless.

| Dear Verushka, your trip has reminded me of my own trips to Mangalore and the more I visit the more I am in love with the place as it has to offer something new everytime. I too love eating Kori Roti and Idlis and it adds more flavour when cooked by your grandparents. The love for your grandparets must be the motivating factor for you to travel and cover such a long journey and I am happy that you love Manglorean food. Please keep the good work of writing about your holidays and my Best Wishes for a bright future. |

| Dear Verushka, That was a fantastic and very interesting article. It is great that you have such fond memories of the land of your ancestors and that you are proud of your ancestry. Your article brought back memories for me too, of about 40 years ago when I went to a wedding in Mangalore and we were served food on banana leaves. You are an excellent writer Verushka, I could almost see and taste what you were writing about. Keep it up. |

Hi Verushka, your article reiterated what I''ve always known about you, that you appreciate the important and little things in life. Reading about your vivid and treasured memories of the city and village life in India during your holidays have intrigued me.
My yearning to visit India has been peaked once again! India is the birthplace of 3 of my grandparents whom I''ve sadly never had the opportunity of meeting as they died at a very young age. So, you are blessed to have enjoyed the love and warmth of both your maternal and paternal sides of the family. Was thrilled to see you enjoy and appreciate being indulged by your grandparents.
This sort of indulgence is only a grandparents prerogative! I am so proud of you as your speech and drama teacher. You''ve achieved so much as an 11 year old and I''ve literally seen you ''blossom''. You go girl! Your candid writing style is brilliant, keep it up. With my love always Delia |

| Wonderful, wonderful and wonderful Verushka. Kori-Rotti and Moodbidri and the Shettys. The three go together. Moodbidri is very dear to me and the Friday market is wonderful. When Parents move to distant places particulary overseas the children loose the traditions and culture and it is quite important they know and continue the grand old traditions. YOu are quite an example because you can appreciate and relate who you are and where you come from and where you are going...... I hope many children read and write in this column so that they know the background and culture. YOu are leading the way. ITs wonderful. Walter, you are doing a great job in providing the yougsters the venue to express, relate, and connect so that the future generations can continue the traditions and culture. Verushka, There is a saying" If one does not know where one is coming from , the same one does not know where one is going". Do not loose what you have but add more. God bless you. |

But practically I don’t know much, because I had not seen any of my grand parents. Well done Verushka…. Keep it up… day will come soon to us to read your awarded novels…. God bless you |

Dear Walter, Great idea indeed. Creative thinking to brihng in a "kids corner" and motivate young kids to come forward and voice their own opinion. Children visiting India as often as possible, or keeping in close contact with their relatives back home is the best way to motivate them and inculcate the love for their "Maathra Bhoomy"
Your web site is truly a blessing to the community and to the country. May God bless you and all those that give so much to humanity. You and your family are well remembered in our daily thoughts and prayers. "Assalamalekhum", Qudha Afeiz and "Dev Boren Korun". |

Dear little vasu, I don’t know you personally. But your article made me feel very happy this morning. Otherwise, in this modern world grandchildren are different than you. (Not all). They don’t want to go to see village, aged grand parents or Uncle and aunts. It is not their fault. Parents should teach them how to love aged people and relatives (READERS, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS COMMENTS as PERSONALLY BECAUSE I AM EXPRESSING HERE MY EXPERINECE from our FAMILY.
Dear vasu, May God bless you and love each other in this world. Hope my nieces and nephew reads article and they come to see my mother with special love and smile. |
