    CONGRATS POOVAMMA. What a fine sight to see the entire Mangalorean community rising as one force to welcome and honour Poovamma on her great medal winning run at the Asiad in Japan. Poovamma has been a consistent performer and her win as important to add to India's tally of medals. Am sure that more from Mangalore and Udupi will follow in her footsteps and bring more glory to India. Poovamma should now be honoured in a befitting manner by the authorities in Mangalore. Well done. DENZIL FERNANDES
