    Though I live so far away from Mangalore I am always in touch with this city and have some close friends there. I have been often at Our Lady of Rosary Church and I like this place. People who belong to this parish love Konkani culture and language. That is is what people keep close together. I wish the Konkani Speaking Community all the best, success, a strong belief and a meaning of life and look forward to my next visit to Mangalore in January.

    Best regards
