    Why some people speak negatively about the people earn their money without corruption or wrong doing. Is there any law teachers should not have money? is there any law teachers should not big house? May be their son or daughter well educated and earning more than what some people think. These type of low level thinking in the mind of some young people really destroying the basic fiber of our society. They want to hate the people whom they don't like and spread hatred in the society just for their personal gain or personal satisfaction. These people want poor people should be always poor.

    No point in blaming. Prepare yourself. Insure the Property. Install safety Cameras with alarms, Deposit the valuables in the Bank Lockers. Dont lust after wealth Live Simple Be Happy

    There is a poor perception among society that teachers are poor. It is depicted in movies too as….Badapayi meshtru!! If an uneducated thug or a politician goon becomes billionaire, everybody will bow their head and give one big salam!!Good eg: Dawood Ibrahim or Gopal Kanda. Politician will make his sibling another politician (eg: Akhilesh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi). Film star will push his sibling to film industry (eg: Abhishek bacchan or punit raj kumar). But no one raises voice- if they have enough credibility other than their parent’s stardom.

    But a teacher can give only good moral and good ethics to his/her siblings. Are there any quotas for teacher's son or daughters? Is there any tuition fee discount for them in any education institutions? ? It is always teachers who are considered as real builders of society are deprived of all. So whats wrong in being rich? Why cannot they give tuitions and earn bit more? Is sharing of knowledge is a crime?..... HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY!!

    Today's thieves rob only gold and cash.They are not interested in DVD sets,TV etc. It is best to keep Gold / jewellery in a bank locker.

    When people are aware, these kind of robberies are taking place, and it happens all the time in Mangalore, why do people keep so much ornaments in the house. You cannot expect the M'lore police to catch these people . They just ask to file FIR and leave it at that. Better to use artificial ornaments and forget about the fear of loosing gold.

    Mr. Shanwaz, if she is a teacher it doen't mean that she is poor. she might have other source of income. May b her husband could be a business man or may b in gulf. Or may b her children might be high profile people. Think before u comment.
