Mangalore, February 8: In memory of art Guru late BG Mahammad, Sapna Noronha, a city based artist will organise a painting exhibition “Tribute to BG Mahammad” in association with Karavali Chithra Kalavidara Chavadi Mangalore at Prasad Art Gallery here on Friday, February 11 at 4.30 pm.

Addressing the media persons at Press Club here on Tuesday, Ganesh Somayaji, senior artist said that BG Mahammad who died two years ago at the age of 89, was a great artist cum teacher. He never used to criticize any students but tried to bring them around to a different way of looking at things. He had described his approach like “Let the paint do the work by moving it around until something happens feel good,” and never said “That's finished” as there was always something else to be discovered. Hence, Mahammad never aimed to achieve a pre-determined end result.

Sapna Noronha, who is also the student of Mahammad said that her Guru Mahammad used to paint with an emphasis tone rather than just a line.

About 20 paintings of Sapna Noronha will be exhibited on the occasion.

Dr Narendra Kamath, Skin Specialist, Sanath Kumar Shetty, Architect, SKS Group Partner, SS Nayak, Charted Accountant and Shabbir Ali, artist and son of BG Mahammad will be the guests on the occasion.

Artistes Dinesh Holla and Koti Prasad were present at the press meet.

Mangaluru: In an act of extraordinary selflessness, a young lecturer and mother, Archana Kamath, tragically passed away just days after donating a portion of her liver to a relative. She was 33.

Archana, who had devoted her career to shaping young minds as a lecturer at Canara College and most recently at Manel Srinivasa Nayak MBA College, was a loving mother to a four-year-old boy. Her sudden passing has left her family, students, and colleagues reeling in shock and grief.

The story of her untimely demise began when a relative of her husband, CA Chethan Kumar, required a life-saving liver transplant. 

With no other matching donors in sight, Archana stepped forward, her heart full of compassion. Her blood type matched, and without hesitation, she made the brave decision to donate a part of her liver—an act that would ultimately cost her life.

The surgery, performed 12 days ago in Bengaluru, seemed successful. Archana appeared to recover well and was discharged, bringing hope and relief to her loved ones. 

But just days after returning home, she suddenly fell ill and passed away on September 15 in a Mangaluru hospital. The cause of her sudden decline remains a mystery, compounding the sorrow of those who knew and loved her.

Her final act of love saved a life—the relative who received her liver is said to be recovering well. But Archana’s loss is felt deeply by her husband and their young son, who are now left to navigate a world without her warmth and strength.

As family and friends grapple with this tragic turn of events, Archana’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her as a caring educator, devoted mother, and a woman whose ultimate sacrifice was made out of love.

The full story of her passing is still unfolding, and her untimely death has left an irreplaceable void in the lives of all who knew her.
