Mr. Arish Babu while replying your query: I know I am perfect. I am boasting about myself, what I have done and what I am. I have been sent to this world by the lord Almighty to do some meaningful things, to treat my people alike and to point out whenever my brother is wrong either he may be a layman or a clergy. On the whole all the apples are not rotten, many are good in the basket i.e. my opinion about the clergy. Are you a nameless person after all/you belong to which caste/creed? Who are you to question me? Only God can do so. Further you say about my bad intentions and bad thoughts towards the clergy. Do you think clergy are the angels of God? Don't they commit mistakes. As you say correct your own mistakes! Can you show me what sin I have done to the clergy? And about teaching a lesson only the time will teach you a lesson. To stop writing comments neither you nor anybody in the world except God can stop me writing. I am showing weak image to the public as stated by you - i.e. my problem don't worry. Please disclose your identity and don't use any fictitious name. Now who is the coward? Me or you. Definitely you. I am prepared for a public debate. Tell me and announce in public which is the place and time. I will not reply to your foolish and baseless comments in future ok?

Mr.Stanley R.D'Costa,
Who are you to correct the misdeeds or wrongs of the clergy..... Every citizen has Right of Speech to express his or her opinions. But your right of speech expresses your deep ill intention and bad thoughts towards clergy. Take stand to correct your own mistakes and wrong doings instead of pointing on others especially clergy. Please do not expose your own weak nature by this way. I am not teaching you lesson but making you aware that you do not put down anybody and insult the good works done by the clergy. Stop writing such kind of unwanted comments. You are showing of your own weak image to the public. Be Perfectionist in reality of thoughts and live genuinely without blaming others. Do not boast yourself anymore.

Mr.Arish Babu
In a democratic country like India it is the fundemental right given to its citizens i.e. freedom of speech. It is the opportunity given by me to correct the misdeeds and wrongs of the clergy in the interst of general public to uphold the unity and integrity of christian community. So though I have been given an opportunity to publish my articles in konkani magazines doesn't mean that I should stop correcting the wrongs of the clergy. So please dont teach me any lesson. I am perfect in my own way of functioning. I am not a fool to sling mud on my own community heads please remember ok?

Thanks, i know difficulties of students studying in villages, especially if they are from poor families, i am sure these difficulties make them strong in long run.

I can understand his former teachers being very pleased with their former students achievements.

I wish Justice BV Pinto all the best, and pray to almighty to give him wisdom of Solomon, as you rightly said.

Mr. Langoolacharya, Belman/USA.
H.M. then was Late Shri A.T. Shetty
(Aikala Bhava, Thampanna Shetty). After his retirement, Pandu Sir became H.M. This event had happened when the school was housed in Panchayat Board Office in Jepe, Mundkur.

Benedict's Hindi teacher then was Santhan D'Mello Sir, Naldaguttu in my neighbourhood who is now blind for the last 36 years to whom I conveyed the news of Benedict and congratulated him as "a teacher of Judge". He felt very happy. He also disctintively remembered Benedict.

Mr. Stanley R.D'Costa, it is better that you stop commenting on the clergy. Clergy are taking initiatives to help the lay persons in so many ways. even your article are published in Sevak, a magazine edited and published by clergy. Your book Kanoon Daiz was inaugurated by the clergy. Inspite of that it is not fair on your part to blame clergy. You have been given chance to earn good name by the clergy. Instead of admiring the works done by the clergy you have chosen to pass comments on them. If you are not invited for the programme it may be either because they could not contact you within short period of time or in alternative you have failed to maintain good relationship with them. At least here afterwards try to appreciate good works done by the clergy. We hope you too will salute the clergy.

Congrats. Benedict .
To the readers of Daiji.com - It is said "do not search the origin/moola of Rish, River and Guru". May be when you find it, you will lose interest/respct for it. But in case of Benedict, it is otherway.I was Clerk,sitting next to H.M's office in Vidya Vardhaka High Scool, Mundkur when he was a student in 1971.

One day, it so happened some students wanted to drink water clinged to wooden cup board with science experient items, to pick up the Lota on its top and pulled it down.Loss was Rs.80/-. 8 students were implicated.Benedict was one who was not involved. All were asked to come to school next day with their fathers. Benedict came with his father - Benjamin who back fired Benedict -"do not argue and obey the teachers". Agreed to pay Rs. 10/- fine.

Next day Benedict came with his mother. H.M asked "why Benedict? why mother now". He said "noboday listens to me" ( = not allowed to defend me) so mummy is here" but H.M. wrapped her up explaining the loss to the school and she also agreed the fine. Benedict had no option. He said to his mother - "Mumma, you can pay Rs.10/- to school as 'Dhan" (donation) but not as a fine in my name. Your son has committed no mistake.

Listening this H.M was taken aback. He told this event to one teacher who met me in the evening and said " this boy if became a lawyer, will be a susscessful one". Today, I say "Look, he is more than that and is a Judge." God bless you with the wisdom of Solomon.

I am deeply hurt because myself as the Vice President and Mrs Grace D'Silva being the Secretary of the Lawyers Guild were not informed nor invited for the felicitation programme and hence it was my presumption that other advocates were not invited as usual for the diocesan programme.

Further the messages of Mr.Nicholas Udupi and Mr.Arish Babu, Mangalore were appears like written by a same person written by different names. On the whole why I should be jealous about my brother when/if he is doing good to the community? I raised the point/displeasure the way our Christian system works. Anyway good luck to those who salute our clergy.

It is my Honourable pleasure to greet and congratulate Justice B V Pinto being appointed as the Judge of High Court of Karnataka. Excellent programme was organised at Bishop's House Honouring Justice B.V.Pinto and wished him every success in his future undertakings. It was one of the best programme organised by respectable priests and advocate leaders who always stand for goodness and unity.

It is very painful to read the comment of Mr. Stanley R.D'Costa which is not at all agreeable. Unity in diversity. This programme brought everybody to appreciate and recognise the goodness of each other. Meaningful Programme was organised. I do appreciate all the organisers who have taken lot of efforts to do such a wonderful programme. More then 25to 30 christians advocates were present to this programme.Senior advocates Clarence Pais, Eric Sequeira, Darryl Andrade, David Pais, Elizabeth Pereira Mariamma Thomas etc. were also present. Advocates Ivan D'Souza and M.P.Noronha who are the real, enthusiatic and effecient leaders of our community, who have involved themselves as leaders to serve for thier community.unnecessary comments given by Mr.Stanley R.D'Costa against his brother advocates is totally unappreciatable.

It shows of his jealousy towards another advocates who are dedicated themselves to render service to the people who are in crisis. I wish Justice B.V. Pinto all the best. May he continue to grow in the inspiration of Jesus to give justice to the people who are helpless.

I do not agree with the comments of stanley R D'Costa.I was present to the programme. More then 25 christians advocates were present.Senior advocates Clarence Pais, Eric Sequeira, Darryl Andrade, David Pais, Elizabeth Pereira etc. were also present.unnecessary comments against brother advocates is unethical. Advocates Ivan D'Souza, M.P.Noronha and Mariamma Thomas are the real and enthusiatic leaders of our community who have emerged as leaders due to their concern for the community. An advocate who refused to stand with christians at the time of crisis should not feel jealous about other advocates who really serve for their christian community with zeal and sacrifice. It is indeed to appreciate their generosity and love for the people who were in struggles and troubles.

It is very sad to note that neither the Diocesan Lawyers Guild office bearers nor the members were invited while felicitating Justice B.V.Pinto. It is only the diocesan three lawyers created as leaders of the community by the clergy were invited for the programme. If this trend continue in future too how our christian community gets good leaders. When our community is in such crisis why can't our clergy open up their eyes at least now. Christian community should choose their leaders and it is not the leaders to be imposed on the people by the clergy. I hope atleast in future our diocesan heads will think in right direction and self proclaimed leaders nor leaders imposed on the people will not have any thing to do with. So let us introspect ourselves in protecting our community in times of distress.
