Discussion The betrayal of Mangalore, yet again! Can we undo it this time?

Post image
75 Upvotes

This is regarding the matter of Dasara special trains being run by South Western Railway to Madgaon and Kannur, with our city, Mangaluru being left out completely!

Despite having the second grandest Dasara celebration in the state after Mysuru, with the number of buses running between Bengaluru and Mangaluru tomorrow crossing 500, South Western Railway's Mysuru division has betrayed our city by running a train bypassing the city altogether! What makes this betrayal even harder to swallow is the fact that even Kannur, a small city in Kerala has been given a dedicated special train tomorrow!

Our MP seems to have gone completely silent after the region was transferred out of Palghat division, which now looks like an eyewash. As soon as Mangaluru went under SWR, they snatched the Vande Bharat from Mangaluru Central and now we are being denied festival special trains as well.

There are a lot of theories floating around in railway related groups on why this is happening to our city but since those are speculative, it wouldn't be wise to share them here.

As citizens of Kudla, we can and should raise our voices, at least through social media channels and ask why our city and its people are being betrayed like this.

If you're active on social media(X, Insta or FB), please highlight this issue by tagging the MP, South Western Railway's Mysuru division's media handles, V Somanna(MoS for railways) and the railway minister himself(Ashwini Vaishnav). If you run any social media pages relevant to Mangalore, you could help amplify this as well. If you're from the mainstream media and would like to amplify this, please get in touch.

The CM himself is visiting the city today for the festivities, so if someone could apprise him of this issue, that'd be helpful as well!

This is the right time to say enough is enough!

Discussion We complain About KUDA Lobby, but Karnataka has the Emptiest Railway Traffic on the West Coast.

Post image
20 Upvotes

For context, this screenshot is from "RailRadar" a free website that shows train locations across the country.

Looking at this makes me realise that this area definitely needs more trains, the entire stretch from Kannur to Madgaon just looks dead relative to the rest of the west coast.

To be clear, I'm not defending trains skipping Kudla from Bengaluru. A dedicated direct train is definitely needed. But the lobby groups on the West coast seem to have a point.

The problem is they are lobbying for the most infuriating sh*t possible, like yeah skip Mangaluru who cares about a big city our village needs trains to Bengaluru. Dude, come on.

If they want a VB to Bengaluru I think the existing Madgaon train should be shifted to run in the opposite direction, and have both VBs arrive and depart MAQ close to each other in the afternoon, allowing a connection. This way, everyone gets train service.

Discussion Is Mangalorean Konkani cinema suffering from weak storytelling, or am I being too critical?

22 Upvotes

I've felt this way for a while and genuinely want to know if others agree or if I'm missing something.

While I appreciate the effort that goes into making Konkani films but in most cases I often find them predictable, repetitive and, frankly, boring.

Some scenes are genuinely funny, and the cultural references can be entertaining but as films they suffer from weak screenplay, repetitive humour, extreme stereotypes that sometimes border on offensive, poor pacing, and forced moral lessons. There is also little to no character development.

I wonder whether certain films would work better as short comedy sketches or stage productions rather than full-length features. I understand that budgets might be a concern but I think that shouldnt really affect storytelling.

Are we sometimes confusing cultural familiarity and supporting our language with genuinely good cinema?Am I being unfair? Which films do you consider genuinely well-written, and which ones disappointed you?

I would love to hear views from all sides..

Rant/Vent SWR does it again, Dasara special train bypassing Mangalore city!!!

Post image
52 Upvotes

Not caring two hoots about our MP's request to operate Dasara special trains from Mangaluru to Bengaluru, the shameless South Western Railway has announced the same old Bengaluru Madgaon Special train via Padil bypass, betraying the city yet again!

There are about 500 buses being operated from Bengaluru to Mangaluru on October 16th, all overpriced yet sold out and the zone that we fought so hard to be under does this to us!

What makes this betrayal even worse is that they have given another dedicated Dasara special train to Kannur of all places while keeping Mangalore out of the equation.

Other I miss Tulunadu and I want to make it my forever home

28 Upvotes

​

I've lived in the North for almost all my life, but under some rather unexpected circumstances, I ended up living in Kudla.

Of course, things weren't as rosy as the title might suggest. There was no Instamart or Blinkit when I first moved here, everything shut by 9–10 PM, auto drivers could charge you whatever they pleased, and getting anything delivered from Amazon meant waiting at least a week.

Kudla was nothing like the North, except for the occasional murder that made me feel right at home. /s

Jokes aside, I miss Tulunadu so much.

I miss the rains, the thunder, the greenery, the serenity, the ancient history, the filter coffee, and those scenic roads. Most of all, I miss the peace and tranquillity I never knew I needed until I experienced them here.

I now live in one of India's southern capitals, but a part of me still longs for Tulunadu. Someday, I want to buy a home there, get a vehicle of my own, and explore every corner of the region. I want to document its places, stories, traditions, and history, preserving whatever I can along the way.

I don't want Tulunadu to become another land of glass skyscrapers and concrete jungles. Its history is far too vast, its culture far too rich, and its soul far too precious to be buried beneath the skyline.

Maybe it's strange to feel this attached to a place I haven't spent most of my life in. But sometimes, a place just feels right.

And I think Tulunadu might be that place for me.
