Congratulation to all winners and thanks to Judges.

Leeladhar it is a Good Job. You are utilising your valuable time and resources for Good work.

God Bless You. Thanks and Regards.

We are very happy to read our 'Baikampady Boy' doing something special! Please do it always.

We often talk about you and your activities in different places where you have lived so far during the past some years. All the best Leelu, keep doing good works. God bless you. - Qatar Tulu Friends.

Congratulations to all the winners. Please keep presentation ceremony in Bombay. We all will join and support you.

Be more & more successful and be in limelight always...

I really appreciate the respondents like Sharath Bhandary, Sharjah and others. This is the real support for any person or institution who selflessly render service to to the society. Mr. Leeladhar really deserves such praise.

I have noticed him and his activities over the years, in Mangalore, in Mumbai and now in Bahrain. He is a achiever with challenge.

His greatest achievement I have ever witnessed is arranging to bring the Karnataka Chief Minister Yeddyurappa and his team to Baharin a couple of years ago.

I recollect those days and still get angry (friendly) with him for using me and my friends to accompany him while travelling to Bangalore, Mysore and for long stays there just to chase these ministers. Really, I hardly see that much of strong commitment and patience in others in achieving the goal. Otherwise, who will die for self or for any association by spending his own money and valuable time and wasting his vacation etc?

Congatulations and god bless you Leeladhar. Do more good works in future. We saw this report in Udayavani and Karnataka Malla. All are happy about your work. Mr. Ramesh Shetty, Mr. Prem Kumar Shetty, Mr. Kishore Kunder are also here with me to convey their good wishes to you and your brother Padmanabh Kanchan. Good luck.

Note to the concerned: Attacks and counter attacks are good. But there should be a valid reason and limit. Hope, no one is hurt. Meantime, we should not forget that good works always deserve good comment. Jealousy or fighting should not become our tradition. All is well when it starts & ends Well. All have a nice time!

Praiseworthy works by you brothers. This type of works are very much helpful when we pass on the information about our tulu culture and heritage to the younger generation. Really great effort. Thanks.

A good number of young poets have taken interest in this contest. Thanks to all of them. Definitely all deserved contestants must have won the awards. Because wellknown scholars have evaluated the poems. Thanks and congrats to all of them.

Dear Kanchans, a small note for you. When RAM was there, RAVAN was also there. When KRISHN was there, KAMS was also there. So there is no surprise, Mr. MOHAN is existing when KANCHANS are existing. I don't see him around now. He might have got RUN-OUT early after facing so many YORKERS and BOUNCERS.

It is ok Mr. Mohan, when some people get noticed through their good works, some will try to draw public attention by critisizing them. But you are also equally good (Sorry for lying).

Let's all get together and make our flag of tulu-pride fly high!

To Editor: Please, no need to delete any comments. I feel that healthy debates are good for reconciliation of social errors.

Here it is still within the limit. And one more thing - less proficient critics should not think of getting in. Because they will not be able to hit back strongly and in disciplined way. This is my argument. Sorry, If I am wrong.

Mr. Mohan, thanks for forcibly drawing our attention towards you. When someone is trying to do some good works, why you are doing some cheap work. If possible please encourage them. But, never ever discourage anybody. This is a small piece of advice for you.

To the Editorial Board: Dear Sirs, any good work by anybody should always be praised. But, if he is mistreated for no reason, then the person who does so should be attacked to make him known about his unexcusable mistakes. So, there is "no one cheap" here and "nothing cheap here". This is my personal opinion. And deleting any comments for whatever reason will be a biased idea and an absulute partiality. I hope, you will have a review on your decision. Rest all up to you. Thank you, Sirs. - Yash

Mr. Mohan Salian, thanks a ton for your time & effort that you have simply invested for preparing this cheap response. I am surprised to see that even for a versatile writer (came to know from you only! Ha.. ha.. haaa…☺ - better COWARD CRITIC ☻) like you needed 2-3 days to prepare this sort of peculiar response! So sad!

You know what, had you taken this much of pain in any other productive work, you could definitely have gotten handful of “WAGES” for your hardship. You lost it man!

You know, “The Sun” doesn’t need extra focus on him to shine; So is the moon. Similarly, known people (regardless to what extent) doesn’t need any certification from a publicity-seeker like you or any praising from a common respondent like me. I know, the non-resident Tuluva and Kannadiga community in Bahrain know Mr. Leeladhar Baikampady (who is my maternal uncle) to some extent and it is very true. When this is the fact, what is wrong in terming him as “Uncle” and praising his good work as others done it here in this newsweb?

Mr. Mohan Salian, if you are suffering from chronic disorder of “Jealousy” it is your problem and it is your lookout to get it cured before presenting yourself cheaply in front of the esteemed media like “Gulf Kannadiga”.

Dear Sir, to keep you more learned, try to understand that – The SONS are never called as HUSBANDS, the DAUGHTERS are never hailed as WIVES and the UNCLES are never ever addressed as “SOMEONE ELSE” for whatsoever reason; Be it in media or in real life. Do you have any further doubts or queries? I hope, you have learnt it now. So, I will again repeat what I wish to s

Hello Mr. Mohan, I think our great leaders like Lalu Prasad Yadav, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Sharad Yadav may need your help to prepare their routine speeches and press releases. Your thought and knowledge fits well there. So, it is better for you to be with them and enjoy their company. Please don’t let your treasury-like knowledge go waste!

By the by, my time is so precious and hence I have no interest to continue responding to your future comments (if any). But I am sure, ashamed person will definitely turn his back to this comment. Thanks to all likeminded respondents who supported me morally by treating this veteran critic Mr. Mohay – “My uncle is great and he always does great”. Do you have any problem?

Not just the physical purification, it’s a must for someone like you to get done the mental purification. It makes you a real human-being with civilized thought… Almost free from all “Ari-Shadwargas” (i.e. Kaama, Krodha, Lobha…. MAATSARYA). Otherwise, for sure, you will remain as Pre-Harappa, Pre-Mohenjodaro APE forever!!!

Sorry Mr. Salian, I always like to punch my opponent at the end; For you, it goes like this… “Cowards die many times before their death”, “Small pots easily boil over”, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread” and finally, “To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”… Mr. Salian, Kaaa… Keee… Kooo…!!!

{ FEW 'FRIENDS' OF MR.ಲೀಲಾಧರ್ ಬೈಕ೦ಪಾಡಿ HAVE USED THIS FORUM FOR PERSONAL CRTICISM OF MR.ಮೋಹನ್ ಸಾಲಿಯಾನ್ IN RESPONSE TO HIS WRITE UP HERE IN PRATISPANDANA. WE IN EDITORIAL BOARD DO NOT SUBSCRIBE OR ENTERTAIN THESE KIND OF CHEAP PERSONAL CRUSADE ON WHOEVER IT MAY BE. HENCE IF MR.MOHAN SALIAN COMPLAINS WE SHALL DELETE ALL THESE POSTINGS- EDIOTR}

Meanwhile, I want to say something here. Like some other Tuluvas and Kannadigas, I also know about Mr. Leeladhar here in Bahrain. But who is this Mr. Mohan, the "Media Jockey" (MJ) or "Whistle Blower" appeared in the middle?

The way he makes amiss here shows that he is trying to get a CHEAP PUBLICITY. Mr. Pramod Chitrap and Mr. Purandar Salian have rightly pointed it out here.

Mr. Mohan, you maybe thinking that you are our great lyricists like Gulzar or Javed Akthar. I don't understand your motive behind writing this type of comments. Again you say that you closely know Mr. Leeladhar and his great works. You again praise his achievements also. At the same time you write something strange also. The whole subject proves that, as Mr. Pramod clearly said, you need BED-REST (not just rest).

Mr. Mohan, I have not seen you so far. But wish to see you as soon as possible, as our NRI community needs a CARTOON like you very badly. Maybe your childhood gone; but not the childishness. You are immatured and have to learn a lot.

Either you do such works by your own or you encourage / support other's work. Don't just try to be a COLUMNIST with your rotten comments.

Mr. Mohan, don't feel bad for my response. But, please understand.. "You deserve it well". Read this mail and change your monkey mind-set. You can definitely live civilized life like we do!!!

Good work Leelu, keep it up. Congrats to all the winners!

Tulu language will always rise upward steadily;- It's an assurance, with people like you striving hard for the cause. May GOD Bless you & give you more strength to prove your might in all of your future endeavours.

Mr. Mohan it is a good try to get noticed in the media. You dreamed of grabbing the public attention by going against Mr. Leeladhar. It's fine you have got every right to comment in your own way. But why to become cheap by commenting cheaply?

In the first place, we don't understand what you are trying to say! You are praising or criticising or expressing your jealousy? All I have to blame is "the school where you studied and the teacher who taught you".

Sorry, it is none of your mistake. But I am sure, you will learn from your mistakes and you will be alright soon. God bless you!

To be frank with you all, I didn't understand what he wrote. He is much disturbed I think. No doubt, I believe he needs immediate rest.

You are living in gulf country Mr. Mohan. Take care of your health. Because, disturbed state leads to apprehension. Then the state of apprehension doesn't take much time to reach depression. ...

Your work relating to Tulu literary field is wonderful. It's a great contribution towards the Tulunadu & Tulu Language. People hardly do such works or take such pains. A person like you only do such things.

You created waves again. Every work of yours grabs attention of others. Either you opt to take up such challenging tasks to accomplish or you achieve & present it in such a way that we remain mesmerized! That's the charm of your work.

My dear, please keep doing such works and give us also any small chance to be with you and your activities, yaaar!

By the way, I have just gone through the comment posted by Mr. Kandavara Mohan Salian. That comment forced me to write in, in fact.

His comment seems to be so sweet; but it confused me as if it is spicy?, salty or vinegary? Hope, not any. If yes, he can please come up directly. I have seen (and learnt about) some sly figures here with "Foxy Mask". I believe, Mr. Mohan is not from that tribe. Just to finish, "My Uncle is Great" - Bhagyashree Amin, Bahrain
