completely shocked and deeply saddened by the sudden demise of a true friend Wilfy. We lost a great person. Jewel of Moodubelle. Yesterday, he was in our group chat and today he is no more. All Gods plan. Heartfelt condolences to his entire family. May his soul rest in peace.

Still can not accept what has happened. Lost a dynamic pillar. Great supporter of parish, community, friends and to all those knew him. Successful entrepreneur and philanthropist. He has anonymously helped scores for education. He was instrumental in establishing bellevision.com. Twenty years back we loaded our first article at his office until early morning. At loss of words. RIP Wilfyam.

Humble and ever smiling person gone for heavenly abode, good bye dear Wilfyab, may your soul RIP.
Dear Menezes family, our hearts are saddened by your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We thank you Almighty Father for the wonderful life of Wilfred Menezes, and by sharing your love, faith, and selfless service he humbly cared for his family, friends, and all people around him! It is very sad indeed for all of us to lose such an upright, courageous, and leadership personality so early in his life who always upheld justice, righteousness, and above all through his smile and philanthropy uplifted many. May God grant him eternal rest and strength and courage to his wife, kids, and family members to bear untimely loss!

I like your article on Indo-China-Pak wars history on BV. Thank you for giving Nehru the credit of keeping India in perspective despite a young PM and a young country having to face Chinese agression in it s infancy. Overall India has done well dspite ministerial corruption keeping nonetheless the aesthetic values of humanity. This essay article should give the young millannials a glimse of the past in a nutshell honoring the Indian heritage. In recent years I personally notice they depart from our rich heritage pursuing popular western yappy culture. Pride oneself of being Indian and act like an Indian. I particulary loved the Indian journalist at Trump presser at his recent visit to India, though the western journalists mocked him the overwhelming comments appreciated him quipping unlike western journalists, this journalist knew and has learnt more than one language . India, strong stand your ground together.

Thank you Dr. Eugene for the wonderful pictorial report. Wishing all the best to Fr. Vijith

Thank you Philip for the wonderful article and refreshing history of 1962. PRC was always stronger than India due to its communist rule. India is not united due to democracy! PRC always back stabbed.

May the Lord bless you as you follow in His way. May you find joy and peace as He inspires you each day. Congratulations on your Ordination.

Clement was my classmate 1st grade thru new 8th grade at St. Lawrence School. He in fact is my third cousin by virtue of his maternal grandmother and my paternal grandmother were sisters. I remember dictating to him English articles while he practiced stenography during evening hours at our St. Lawrence Association residence in Byculla, Bombay. I remember him as a go getter and worked hard towards his goals.
May he rest in peace in the loving embrace of our Lord. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

May his soul rest in peace.Amen
Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.

Thank you Philip for this rare kind of article. I had no idea such movie existed. Not sure if it is exact real life story....certainly there may be near truth elements!
