Melwyn Antony Dsouza, one of the popular singers among the Konkani Community residing in U.A.E is known for his amazing talent of Singing, Composing and writing lyrics. He is renowned for his ability to mesmerize and sweep the audience off their seats and bring them to the dance floor with his enigmatic singing and swaying numbers. Melwyn, already a familiar name and sensation among many, has carved a niche for himself in the minds and hearts of music loving people of Mangalore, and is expected to enthrall the audience with his usual charm and flamboyant singing at the event. Talented singers from U.A.E as well as Mangalore will join Melwyn, to present a sensational musical evening. Loy Valentine Saldanha, a young and talented musician from Mangalore with his team will provide music for the event. Roshan D’silva one of the ace compere in the GCC will host the event.

The collective opinion of the organizing committee is that, talents of Melwyn and many others should be nurtured and promoted on a larger platform. Normally these talents go unnoticed, due to the lack of resources and financial support. Hence, organizing this kind of event will help Melwyn and other talented local and Mangalorean artists to exhibit their talents by providing them a platform to perform. Hence, Vamanjooreans UAE are geared up to make this event memorable and successful by pooling together their collective efforts. This event would also enable them to serve the dual purpose of promoting cultural activities and artists and support their benevolent ventures in hand.

However, it was said that his wish was to be cremated here in Dubai which unknowingly sometime back he whispered to one of his friends.

Purushotham had few years ago, survived a heart attack and fought back his life, though it had a minor paralytic effect on him. Even though, till recently he used to do his day-to-day work normally. He was a hard working personality and owned a readymade garment shop in Ajman and Dubai mostly taking care of clients with requirement of uniforms and coveralls. His dedication towards work was always appreciated by his clients who used to get their things delivered on time always.

He was never a publicity person and was helping the poor and needy in whatever ways he could silently. He strongly supported the community and was associated with Nama Tuluveru and Billawa community with commitment. He used to voluntarily come forward for the ground work of various functions of the community and used to be there until it was done perfectly.

Suresh Neramballi - an unsung Mangalurean hero in Kuwait

Sushma Bangera

June 4,2020

Kuwait: The Covid-19 pandemic has pushed the whole world into a difficult situation and the situation of Indians in Kuwait is not any different. Many people have lost their jobs, have no salary, are deprived of food and are not able to pay rent. The appalling conditions of labourers, domestic workers, taxi drivers and low waged earners don’t seem to end in Kuwait.

At this trying situation when many people were even afraid of leaving their houses because of coronavirus, Suresh S. Rao Neramballi, volunteer of the Food Kit Distribution at the ICSG (Indian Community Support Group) has helped many tremendously. He was ready to go around delivering food kits at any time possible by his car. However, after Kuwait imposed a full curfew from 11th May 2020, no one could take out their vehicles unless they had a curfew pass.

This did not stop Mr. Suresh Neramballi, who then borrowed a bicycle from a friend and ended up going around in the cycle delivering the food kits in curfew break time (4:30pm to 6:30pm) to all those who registered in the ICSG website. This selfless service surely commands appreciation and applause. Mr. Suresh Neramballi has been a light for many families and bachelors in Kuwait and will surely garner the blessings of them who have been able to eat at this time.

He was also the one who could deliver the food kits to many Indian Muslim maids, bachelors, laborers and families previous day and right on the day of EID, as they were not able to go shopping for their groceries for EID, due to the curfew. They blessed him in EID dua.

Mr. Suresh Neramballi hails from Mangaluru, India and is an Engineer in the Oil sector company in Kuwait. He has been dedicated to social service, achieved 'Aryabhata International Award' for his Kannada Service and Social service, served in many Associations and Distributor of Kannada and Tulu Movies in Kuwait. He wholeheartedly thanks the people and government of Kuwait for his bread and butter.
