    Ganapathi Bappa Morya.
    During my younger days in Mangalore, there used to be a time were every festival of different religious groups were celebrated with lot of fanfare & activities, irrespective to cast, creed religion. My friends who are from different communities used to really enjoy all the festivals. We still do enjoy. But when we see the news of social & religious unrest in and around Mangalore we feel pity for our own motherland. Whatever the reasons can be we Mangaloreans should unite and live a happy and harmonious life like before. Keep aside egoism and live a healthy human being.
    Good Luck to All the Mangaloreans.
