Bantwal: Man returns home after gap of 26 years


Daijiworld Media Network - Bantwal (SP)

Bantwal, May 12: A man who fell down after suffering from giddiness on the road has seen his life transforming. The man has returned to his native village after a gap of 26 years, but his parents sadly died just three months back. Shivappa is sad that he could have met his parents if he had come back a little earlier.

Because of the lockdown, the man in question, Shivappa, has come back home after 26 years. When he was 18, Shivappa, unable to cope with the abject poverty of the family, had left his hometown, leaving behind parents, brothers and sisters. He has joined them back. He had become sick and was lying on the ground in a bus stand from where the people brought him to his village.

Shivappa Poojary is from Belalu in Ujire, Beltangady taluk. He is the son of the late Koragappa Poojary of Odiprottu House, Belal. After running away from home, he had worked in Mangaluru for two years and was in contact with family. Later, he left Mangaluru and his close ones who searched for him, could not find his whereabouts.

Shivappa says he went to Tarikere and Mysuru. He married a lady, Meenakshi, from Tarikere and settled down in Mysuru. He has a son and a daughter. He led a happy life but could not muster enough courage to come back to his native. Because of lockdown, he had to come to coastal region recently. He became sick and fell down at Maripalla bus stand, in Bantwal.

The locals looked after him and shared his photo on WhatsApp. His brothers identified him as their elder brother, Shivappa Poojary. They went to Maripalla and brought Shivappa back home.

Shivappa has three brothers and two sisters. He currently lives with the families of his brothers in the old house. Shivappa keeps lamenting that he should have come here three months back as he could have met his parents. Shivappa, now 44, has decided to spend the rest of his life here.

    When family need him during poverty..he left all of them and for his alone good life went to mangalore. Even after 26 years his family members never forget him and his elder brother greet him at home. Its called blood relation. Please be there with family during bad time as well as in good.

    RSRB...Its called love of parents towards childrens. While living parents not able to trace his son..which they done after death. They able to change mind of Shivappa and incline to go towards his village to meet brothers n sisters. Hope at least he will change for good..in rest of life. Parents trust on god fulfilled at last. Jagathe Vismaya. Need eyes to view it.

    Lord Buddha left wife and family...started Buddhism. Lord Mahaveer Jain left wife...started Jainism. Shri Narendrabhai Modiji left wife...had laid down strong base for India. Someone billionaire left after 27 years...a tragedy.

    It's due to shivappa's deceased parents he returned home after 26 years. Even after death soul is having power to do anything.
