And know what, i just figured in the photo essay, if you flip through to page 16/18 of the photo essay, you can see my college(St. Aloysius College) library and me sitting in there! OK! here is the photo(click to see the bigger one, still better use the above link):-
If you are trying to find me in there, you will see a table with three people sitting (in middle of screen), I am the one sitting to the right, and the other two on the left are my friends/classmates. Infact all the people you see in there are my classmates. Infact, this photo was taken just before our exams about two months back, and we were all there preparing for the exams. Cool right!

Mangalore
Sir/Madam,
Coming from a family of Mangalorean descent, I found your article very useful to relate to my personal experiences of the situation. Though the article mentions several times about how rapidly Mangalore is changing, ti does not mention anything about the environmental issues facing this beautiful town. The town was originally a part of the Western Ghats. An area mentioned by National Geographic as one of the World’s most affected biodiversity hotspots. Mangalore’s forest’s environment and wildlife has been totally destroyed by people with commercial interests in mind. It would have been very useful if this was mentioned in the article.
