The Changing Face of Kudla

The Changing Face of Kudla

I was once a kid in a place of dreams that we call as “Kudla”,

Never did we know that this place had to change so much as seen today.

As kids we saw the bullock carts on the road, whose memory gradually faded with age,

The eagerly awaited Sunday man who sold candies and ice cream that were a treat to our eyes.

A distant memory awaits us that reminds us of different colours of the rainbow,

The joy of each colour had a story of its own that is now mostly replaced with new experience.

 

Simple people with warm hearts have been replaced by different models of vehicles.

Barely do we have the time to rethink our past as we are always in a hurry to reach our destination.

Interaction with people has been taken over by Facebook and that is where we all meet!!!

Malls have taken over the simplicity of shopping where we found pleasure in picking up the best.

Hypermarkets have paved their way promising fresh products but seldom do we realize that organic food has always been a part of our life.

As kids we loved to spend time playing outdoors but high rise buildings have knocked off this space.

Outdoor playing time has been taken over by the cozy corner of the home either replaced by TV or video games.

Achieving the heights is the ultimate objective of every parent, as if people from the older generation have been looking for pebbles!!!

 

I can’t stare at the stars at night because I don’t see them anymore,

Maybe the stars don’t have any friends down here as we are all busy staring at our Laptops!!!

Festival celebrated with detailed preparation is now just a formality that we want to be over with.

Oh! How I wish I walked back in time to the fun and glory that we all experienced.

My kids always feel nostalgic of my experience and try to re-live the experience,

But it’s sad for me that my kids have not witnessed this.

 

As kids we played with mud and pebbles, the land which is now scarce to find.

Simple pleasures of life seemed the whole world to me and now the whole world does not seem to fulfill our simple needs.

What a life that was, I wish I could travel back in time and experience all of it once again.

For I wish my very Kudla remains a pretty dream for me.

    you have written wonderfully the reality of our childhood Mangalore. a place where we lived with a little money in hand with no big wishes, the hampankatta shopping, the cracker shop, taj mahal tea,fish market,the vegetable market and not forgetting the bus service which was the only cheaper means of transport hanging on the doors,ice candy and bella candy,ambassador ,fiat and herald cars, no much dreams but to study,get a good job and go to gulf and of course people used to return in 5 or 8 years and not work rest of their life. what ever happens keep our mangalore free from pollution, gundagiri lets have a safe kudla god bless. doctors please dont loot your patients coz you are spending on your degree, earn in installments.there are still poor people there.

    I was very much happy to go past to my Childhood while reading your Poem, No words more than this will explain, How Nice it was with little we had those days will never come back again . You have well written and very well Explained about my Lovely Kudla , at present I have staying in manipal with my family , but traveling to Kudla once a month and visiting places still I feel very happy Proud about my Little Kudla and also my kids likes to come to Kudla very much as they are growing the taste of Kudla is fading off from their life , but not much as I like because they have not been there in those old days to witness the days we enjoyed with little we had.
    My two daughters also write Poems, In any competition in school , “Little Rock Indian school “if they write any Poem on the spot , they will never turn up with a Price with a Group of 30 x 7 Sections, both daughters are also I feel are G8 writers , and my 3rd daughter also following their Yeder one soon she as also started going to LKG this year.
    My daughter had written in Kids corner ‘’MY DREAM HOUSE.’’ and both of my daughters are having their Own collections of Poem written on the spot after without Preparation,
    Nice to read if anyone from our own family members is writing sometimes new and good,
    I wish you all good Success In writing ahead and keep contributing to us to read.
    I will also ask my kids to write articles of their childhood days.

    yes, now we all parents can smell the freshness of those days, but what we r doing with our children. we never try to make them play with muds, play gilli danda, coco, kabbadi, lagori....etc, instead we make them to play vedio games, computer or TV. so parents let them also know how naturally we brought up by our parents. so dont simply comment be on action
    J.H shetty had come with good article even she might be also helpless because she lives in dubai?

    peter, bolkunje
    What are saying you Peter the blob.
    M/s Shetty has made a poem to reminisce ones childhood days which were filled with joy, adventure and happiness and more.
    You are talking abt present days. we all know about the pathetic present days - But when we go back to our childhood days, the innocent fun we used to have, those friends, those candies etc etc. will be there forever in our memory to go back to when we feel sad. they will console us when we are distraught.
    I do not know may be some of you just did not have those childhood days to remember by.
    You need not remind us that carts are out of fashion or some thing else too. All of us are aware of it.
    But try and go back to your childhood days - may be you will find a thing or two which will make you smile and just want those childhood days back again

    Good memories of olden days. Perhaps our parents, grandparents and great grandparents enjoyed better life eating organic food and enjoying life during their times. But ..., developments have to take place and we have to progress in our life. If bullock carts were still moving on our roads, perhaps we would have still seen those planes flying above our roof tops and admired the beauty and still dreaming of flying in one of them one day. Fields and jungles have disappeared and concrete jungles have come up. We are in the electronic era, where as, earlier even radio was not affordable in many of our homes, and even to install a land line telephone, was out of question. We find more than one mobile in the hands of present younger generation. Life has become too busy for everyone.......? No time for visiting relatives and friends at their homes.

    We can not expect any facelift at mangalore. No develpment or improvement can achieved there as some vested interest people will not allow to demolish their property. Example for widening the KSR Road, there was a big hindrence for a year or more from HOTEL SUJATHA owner. Similalry everywhere.

    Ms.Shetty yes i do agree your experience of child hood. But life should go on, as your article is published in e-media and reach to millions who has a base in Mangalore. Its high time we move along with the flow and not against. We are not forced we are free in India. But in Kudla yes we have to think twice.

    It has references in history and legend. It is mentioned in the manuscripts of Great Library at Alexandria, Egypt. Roman history describes it as a port on the mouth of the river Nitras (Nethravati). Ptolemy, a famous astronomer and explore of the second century AD makes a mention of Mangalore in his journey record. Greek drama also alludes to the West Coast of India, Udayavara and Mangalore (Mangla) in particular. Scientists of the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) have found Indo-Arabic stones anchored off the Western and Eastern coasts that offer significant clues to the Indo-Arabic and Indo-Persian trade of the 1st and 2nd century B.C.
    During Vijayanagar Empire, Arab Traders established a brisk trade route for silk and spices between Mangalore and West Asia. Mangalore was the first port of call for Roman Catholic missionaries two centuries ago and the Europeans call it 'the Rome of the East'.
    Kudla is a potpourri of religions and languages-Hinduism and Islam, Christianity and Jainism, Tulu and Konkani, Kannada and Malayalam-that's one delicious whole. We get a taste of its diverse culture at the airport itself. Three pretty girls at the airline counter, say, Sana, Marina and Aishwariya, a Beary, a Catholic and a Bunt perhaps though speak three languages and belong to three different faiths will greet you and that is the rich culture of Kudla. Sadly, the old charms of Kudla are fast disappearing and making way for high-rises, malls and intolerances.

  • Vijeth Kumar, Mangalore/Dubai

    Fri, Aug 10 2012

    Well written article! We all enjoyed a simple uncomplicated childhood. Summer holidays used to be spent playing in the paddy fields or climbing the mango tree in search of the most delicious pick.Eagerly wait for the tingling of the icecream bell, which used to be available for a meagre 50 paise.
    School used to be a place where we used to make friends without thinking about any caste, religion or family background.
    Today, due to rapid urbanisation all the old things we enjoyed can remain only in our memories.

    But I must say, whatever im today, the quality of education I have received and the values I have imbibed within me, my beloved 'Kudla' played a very important part in building my personality.
    Proud to be a Mangalorean!!!

    Jyothika,
    Your words on memories of the past haunt everyone ,in different age groups of life.p
    My grandmother used to be talking of horses, bullock carts and horse carriages.
    My mother of the rupee having 16 Anna's,each Anna having 4 quarters and each quarter having 3 pice. Every pice
    Valuable.
    It's nice to go down memory lane ,But then we have to progress too !
    The Amish village in the USA is the answer to fulfilling your dream of back into the past.....but the planes won't stop flying overhead..
    Nice knowing you...

    Fri, Aug 10 2012

    Yes this article was indeed a great expression of the gone days.
    I miss the bullock carts that used to be there in my childhood days, the vendor who used to come selling door to door the fruits of the season - raw mangoes for pickles- later ripe mangoes wild jackfruits & most of all what I miss are those voilet coloured berries ( jamblu) not eaten them for years.
    We never get to see those cobblers/ umbrella repairers/and knife sharpners coming door to door these days. People have no time for repair and re-use.
    Even the sunday afternoon treat - Ice candyman is no where in sight.
    My children will never know the fun of making mud pies and watching dragon flies in the sky, or see the chiks hatch out from the eggs/ or may be see the dew s on the petals at dawn.
    Oh!!those days of my beautiful Mangalore are lost in th hustle n bustle of the growing city.

    Very refreshing article Jyothika. When I read about things happening in Mangalore and more so when I read the hateful comments across religious divide,it is really a sad state of mind. When so called educated class comment like this, I do not know where to find those beautiful people of Mangalore who were one irrespective of religion and caste. We had wonderful days with Hindu, Muslim friends as one family and ofcourse we had the beautiful mother nature as explained by you. Keep writing.
