We get quite a few emails from our visitors every single day. Some are requests, some are reporting problems, some contribute their poems, articles, movie reviews, some want to help us, some are sick and tired of us!. Feedback are usually good.. sometimes really good and very rarely outright nasty.

OurKarnataka.Com (OKC) Team would like to say "Thank you, All!!" and we apologize if you didn't get any response for your email. We try to answer as many emails as we possibly can and we have tried very hard to reply as soon as possible and to everyone. Since the whole show is managed in our spare-time some of you may not have received a reply.

So, we have decided to publish at least a few of the feedbacks in a page. We would also rate a "feedback of the month" and hopefully send out a prize!!

Yours
OurKarnataka.Com (OKC) Team

Subject : Death of a Language
Comments : yes, I feel Kannada has lost it's prominence especially in Bangalore. Also regarding jobs in IT sector kannadigas are deprived of it. the only solution is some percent of reservation should be given to kannadigas in Bangalore.
In tamilnadu , kannadigas are not treated equally where as those people are enjoying more privileges in Kannada land.

Name : Rama Divana
Subject : Dalitara Sathyanarayana Pooje
Comments : This is the comment regarding Narendra Nayak's article "Dalithara Sathyanarayana Pooje". I am very happy that he is trying his best to eradicate the caste system. However, in this article he has also mentioned about an woman who was ill-treated by the temple trustee. Everyday, upper caste people are ill-treated in the name of reservation based on castes. Why Mr. Nayak can not see this? Are the upper caste people are not Indians? Are they not human beings? Do they not deserve to get the seat / post whatever they need by merit? While analyzing the facts, it should be both ways. Mr. Nayak should find out the ways to eradicate this also. Otherwise there is no meaning for the Social Justice. Please do not mistake my feedback as anti-dalits. My concern is we should be like other countries where there is no such dirty system of either caste based discrimination as well as caste based reservation.

Comments : To Dr. Narendra Nayak
Dear Sir, I like your articles very much. It gives bright light on all kinds of myths that we have in our culture. I still do not understand what is the secret behind Thumb Impression Astrology (You might have already heard about them) that are there in Bangalore (Malleswaram), Tamil Nadu and other places. Even my father went there and all they did was taken thumb impression and found some palm leaf match, they at least tell lot of things about his past life and family history and few other things. Can you please provide some light on this in your future articles. Thank you, Shashi

Subject : History of Karnataka
Comments : Hello, Talking about the socio-economic status during the Hoysalas, there is an article about Shankaracharya/Ramanujacharya. The title starts off talking about Sri Shankaracharya but after a paragraph, its mixed up with an article about Ramanujacharya. This is repeated twice. Could you post a proper article which describes the works of Shankaracharya, Madhva and Ramanujacharya and their influence in Karnataka. Thanks - Sandhya

Comments : I am proud of Mr B.s.chandrashekhar Bowling & his achievements.Still I could not see any better bowler, shane varne, Abdul khadir even Our Kumble as confident as he was.Some times, it was also fun to watch Prasanna's bowling. Above said bowlers are good but Chandra was better with the turn, swing, and flight.
It may be becaus eof generation gap, modern tactics of good batting etc, I don't know. I liked B.s Chandra a lot. Thanks for the details.

Comments : This is wonderful. Congratuations to Mr Bhat as well as the website.
May we request Mr Bhat to give the complete alphabet along with roman script equivalents. For example the use of ta, tha, da etc. This would help us to transliterate from roman lipi o devanagari and vice versa.

Subject : Mr. M. N. Venkataramu
Comments : Hello, Reading columns by Mr. M. N. Venkaramu makes me extremely happy, gives me immense peace of mind. Reading his columns keeps me close to our 'sanskrithi'. 

I want to know if I can get English translation of his writings as my 17 yr old son cannot read Kannada. I believe reading Mr. Venkataramu's column's will help my son know about our sanskrithi and the magnificence of Hindu religion. The essence of Mr. Venkataramu's writings are beautiful and divine. I convey my grateful thanks to OurKarnataka.Com (OKC) for publishing Mr. Venkataramu's columns. 
Sincerely - Smitha, USA.

Subject : Font Problems
Comments : Please remove the - "Best viewed in internet explorer " thing.. from websites.. and also remove all dependencies on proprietary software. Why are you limiting yourself to some people? Thousands and millions of websites use the UTF-8 encoding. This is an extremely portable way of sharing and transferring Multilanguage data, There are many people who surf on "Mozilla firefox" web browser on Linux and other platforms.. Many people surfing using their mobile phones.. and many other people using the internet in unimaginable ways. We need to accept worldwide accepted standards like UTF.. and not restrict ourselves to some of the products from one company. If you want more details of how to be standards based you can just email me and i will be happy to help you more. Whatever is there in the website that makes it depend on internet Explorer? If your website is dependant on one particular companies browser, that is a shame on your part! It shows that you don't properly follow standards..

Subject: HELMET RULE : politician pocket filled with citizens heads double covered
Comments : It is really pathetic that the state government is toying with the idea of implementing the Helmet rule for riders ..not one but TWO (too). It was the same Deva Gowda Govt. in the state which banned the compulsory helmet rule way back in 1990's and now the same Political leaders are in Hand in Glove with the manufactures of Helmets. IF I HAVE A HEAD I HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY AND BRAIN TO PROTECT MYSELF. IF U THINK SOME ONE ELSE CAN PROTECT MY HEAD PLEASE BE A DRIVER FOR ME FREE OF COST. ITS LIKE SUGGESTING TO HAVE TWO WIVES TO BE HAPPY...

Subject : General Feedback about the Content
Comments : Hi, iam staying overseas , i usually read this paper , whenever i get free time. The article about soundarya was really fantastic and memorable .I like soundarya very much because of her natural acting and decent performance on the screen . I have never seen her on screen in bad role. i agree with all of you , that , she was really dominated one more great actress "kalpana" . eventhough i could not able to see her last movie "apthamithra" , i can imagine how well she gave her 100% contribution to her role. unfortunately she is no more with us, but her memories are always evergreen with all of us. I would like to say about soundarya in one sentence " soundarya was devathe , and devathe don't have death " . she will come back , i believe in re-incarnation. -Ashok

Subject : General Feedback about the Content
Comments : Usha avare, Your article has a very good point of view. I always thought that Rama, who is revered as God, never really rose above a common man. his personality was never worthy of a God. He tried to be a good son for his father and kingdom, But he really didnt attain any godly virtues. Still we worship him just because he is one of the incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Maybe men thought just because he was faithful to Seetha, only one woman (To be faithful to one single woman is not a natural male quality), women thought, he conquered his utmost weakness? Maybe thats why he deserved that respect from women? -Vaishali Hegde

Subject : Land allotment to Infosys
Comments : Sir, Many of us struggle all our loves in order to be able to afford a housing plot. The state government has sanctioned 300 acres of land to Infosys in Yelahanka and another 50 acres in the hitech city. Is this generosity on the part of the government commensurate with the company's contribution to the local population? The government and the corporates have been ignoring a great opportunity to develop other regions of our state. -Arun Srinivas
