Some quotable quotes are compiled from a KT article in HT

1. When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent. 

2. The fundamental cause of trouble in the modern world is that the stupid are cock-sure & the intelligent are full of doubt.

3. What's patriotism? Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government only when it deserves it. 

4. My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right & if wrong, to be set right. 

5. I'm more scared by natural stupidity than by artificial intelligence. 

6. Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. 

7. Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor & campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. 

8. I've come to the conclusion that Politics is too serious a matter to be left to politicians. 

9. Politicians are the same everywhere. They promise to build a bridge even when there's no river. 

10. Politicians are people who when they see the light at the end of the tunnel go out & buy some more tunnels.

11. A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. 

12. Instead of giving a politician the keys to a city it might be better to change the locks. 

13. When I was a child I was told that anybody can become president. I am beginning to believe it.

14. This president will back you all the way until he has to. We want to move ahead with this as speedily as possible, although we will have to go slowly. This president doesn't want yes men. What we want is independent men of integrity wh will agree with all our decisions after we make them. 

15. One politician: I offered my opponent a deal. If they stop telling lies about me, I will stop telling the truth about them. 

Do we see all of this playing around...

Paul Mamu becomes part of Dharwad's history

People originally from Dharwad and most of whom migrated decades ago elsewhere across the state, country and world in search of green pastures were in for a sudden shock since late evening on Monday. They all shared similar sentiments, fond moments and profound grief in the passing away of Paul Cardoza of the renowned Hotel PAUL’S at Vidyagiri. He was 69 years old and not at all an age for his generation to bid adieu. Walks to Death: Paul Cardoza was a little bit hefty for his height and age; otherwise there were no visible symptoms to hint of any ailments he had been challenged with. Even on the fateful day, he attended to the chores in the hotel until the afternoon before proceeding to neighbour Hubballi for a cardiac test. It is said that he literally walked to the health check-up facility to undergo the examination. No, he was not destinated for it as he suffered a massive stroke and never to recover! A jovial personality: In the passing away of Paul Cardoza Dharwad has lost one o

He is turning 79 today and looking back there seems to be a huge list of accomplishments worth cherishing on the way.

The sight of the Cross of Lord Jesus Christ and the scenario of thousands of workers marching holding red flags in his native town Mangaluru had a lasting effect on him as a young boy.
