Over-Crowded Buses
- -----------------------------
This has reference to the ill-fated bus that turned turtle at Neugi Nagar.
When its monsoon, every commuter should take precautions,
especially if he is travelling in a private transport meant for the commuters.
I request every person who boards a bus not to enter into an overcrowded
vehicle
for it's just not uncomfortable but also a risk to life.
As per my point of view I have seen at the Panjim bus-stand and also at Margao
that even when the traffic police instructs the driver to leave the bus
from the stand,
they (the police) are ignored - such drivers /conductors
should be taught a lesson by fining them heavily.
I have come across over-crowded mini-buses specially during rush hours,
travelling from Old-Goa to Panjim, Panjim-Bambolim, Panjim-Miramar,
Margao-Vasco and vice-versa. Once again I request every student and
office-going person not to risk your lives - its precious and we should
take care of it
for someone is waiting for us, who loves us dearly.
I also humbly appeal to the PWD and the other authorities concerned
to take precaution to maintain our roads. For when water is filled in
pot-holes
it goes unnoticed to riders and can lead to mishaps.
Finally to all vehicle owners ride carefully - lessen your speed and see
that your brakes,
horn, lights and above all tyres are in good and working condition for it
saves life.

Catholics happy to have Indian-born as Vatican guard
By Lola Nayar, Indo-Asian News Service
New Delhi, July 5 (IANS) Indian Catholics are delighted to have yet another
of their genus being selected to be a part of Vatican's tradition.
Dhani Bachmann, 21, who was born in India and adopted by a Swiss family from
Lucerne at the age of five, now dons a ceremonial 154 pieces uniform of the
Swiss Guards, which is part of the multiple level of security around the
Pope.
"A lot of pomp and glory surround the tradition of Vatican. The Indian
community is delighted that Indian-born Dhani Bachmann has become the first
non-white to be selected to Swiss Guards, which has a 500-year-old
tradition," John Dayal, national vice president of the All India Catholic
Union, told IANS.
There are only about 100 soldiers in the Swiss Guards. To qualify, one has
to be a Catholic Swiss national, single and at least five feet eight inches
tall.
Bachmann's current uniform is a simpler form of the medieval garb worn by
the Swiss Guards before 1914. "They may be very traditional in their dress
code but are modern in everything else including training," said Dayal.
Pledging their loyalty and lives to the Pope, the Swiss Guards, founded in
1506 by Pope Julius II, essentially serve a ceremonial role. When the Pope
moves in public, they shed their ceremonial dress for plain clothes and join
members of the Vatican Police to form a cordon around the pontiff.
Since the assassination attempt on the Pope's life nearly 10 years back, the
security around him has been tightened.
Dayal said while there is no count of the number of Indians serving in the
Vatican or in Rome, the highest ranking is Cardinal Lourdusamy.
"He is one of the congregation in the Vatican that acts as advisors as well
as the executive body. The other two Indian occupying high posts are
Cardinal Vidyathil, who is the archbishop of Syro Malabar Church in Kerala,
and Cardinal Ivan Dyas, the archbishop of Mumbai," said Dayal.
The two are ex-officio members of the collegiums that elect the future pope.
Annually hundreds of Indian Catholics go to Vatican for pilgrimage. During
the millennium, thousands went on an organised trip for the jubilee
celebrations.

D'Souza might be from Mangalore. There could be other angles, not
mentioned below, in the relationship between Bollywood and the dons,
particularly over the financing of films. FN
Lawrence D'Souza gets police security after shootout
By Shiv Kumar, Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, July 5 (IANS) Police have provided protection to filmmaker Lawrence
D'Souza, who was shot at by two people outside his office.
Police said till further notice, two armed guards have been posted outside
his residence and will guard D'Souza who was shot at by two motorcycle borne
men who accosted him outside his suburban office here Thursday.
Seeing his assailants, D'Souza fled inside his building and locked himself
in a neighbour's house, police said Friday.
Police sources said they were suspecting mobster Chotta Rajan's hand in the
shootout.
Rajan, who made a sensational escape from a hospital in Thailand over a year
ago, is said to have returned to terrorising film producers with a
vengeance.
Police say Rajan, completely overshadowed by Dawood Ibrahim and Chotta
Shakeel gangs, may be planning to stage a comeback in the Mumbai underworld.
D'Souza, like other filmmakers, had received warnings from gangsters over
the years but the threats had got insistent in the past few weeks, sources
said.
The filmmaker, whose recent films had flopped, is said to be planning a new
big budget movie.
Traditionally, mafia bosses target filmmakers when a new high profile film
is being launched. Apart from cash, the dons also demand rights to release
the movies in lucrative "territories".
Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan was shot at three years ago after he refused to hand
over overseas rights of his "Kaho Na...Pyaar Hai" to an associate of mobster
Abu Salem, police sources say.

I am prepared to learn about Goan professionals and
businesses from this list. The more they thrive, the
better it is for the economy of our beloved Goa.
I am less worried about supporting businesses whose

Subject: [Goanet] Times (UK) 6 July: Crises re. Goa package holidays from UK
Headline: India operators in uproar. Foreign Office advice on India is
wrong, say angry tour operators.
By: Tom Chesshyre.
Source: The Times (UK) July 6 2002. 703 words.
Excerpts:
Tour operators are furious with continuing Foreign Office advice not to
travel to India. They say that popular beaches in Goa and Kerala are
thousands of miles from trouble along the Pakistan border in Kashmir — and
they want the FO to differentiate between potential strike zones and other
parts of the country.
At the moment travel insurance companies, which follow to the letter FO
advice against “all but essential travel”, will not offer full cover for
holidaymakers. This has effectively closed down mainstream tourism to India,
as most tourists will not risk travelling overseas without insurance…
Individual operators have been more forthright. “It is incredibly unfair,”
said Platon Loizou, managing director of Jewel in the Crown, an India
specialist. “It is stopping all tourism to India, while Goa and Kerala are
miles from Kashmir.
“People are still calling in wanting to go, as they know it is safe in the
south, but we are getting a fraction of our usual requests. The Foreign
Office is putting people off.”
He said sales were down by as much as 85 per cent for the coming winter
season, which runs from October to May. Jewel in the Crown sent more than
6,500 people to Goa last winter.
Ash Sofat, chief executive of Somak Holidays, another Goa specialist, said
that sales were down by a similar amount. “The Foreign Office must realise
that India is a huge continent,” he said. “The minute the FO advice is
lifted bookings will pick up again. But we are running out of time before
the season begins.” …
Instead of India, many holidaymakers have been booking trips to Mombasa in
Kenya, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, and Dubai — which is fast gaining in
popularity.
Loizou added: “This is destroying tourism in India. The average tourist
industry worker in Goa gets £30-£40 a month, and now they will not even be
getting that.”

Subject: [Goanet] COMMENT: From BuildArena
BuildArena is a just-launched 'corporate magazine for business,
infrastructure and industry'. Its first issue has a comment on GoaNet:
"Even as the state steadily chugs along, we must also acknowledge the
'Other Goa' -- largely existing as an entity of emotions binding the
nearly 1.5 lakh Goans settled in various parts of the world. Of late, the
hitherto scattered and unorganised Goan diaspora has started to function
in unison as a single grouping linked to each other by new means of
communication like the Internet. Infact, the exaptriate Goan community is
one of the most active on the Internet. One 600 member strong online
community called Goanet has initiated a few programmes in Goa, one of
which involves providing computers to various schools in Goa. There are
others too like the World Wide Goans and the US-based Goa Sudharop
Trust. As the world coimes closer, Goans settled abroad can now play an
incrasingly important role in the progress of the state...."

Some comments:
* What really *is* the number of Goa's expats? We don't have a clue. Most
are guestimates. Earlier, it was said that there were 100,000 Goans in
Mumbai and 60,000 in Portugal alone. Maybe these figures are above the
actual, but who knows what the actuals are? No survey has ever been
conducted. The GoaNRI's Cell functioning leaves much to be desired... and
is somewhat politicised.
* Goanet's membership figure of 600 seems to be a rather old figure. That
used to be our membership a coupld of years ago, if one recalls
right. Since then, GoaNews (and Eddie Fernandes' GoaNetUK) have grown
significantly, while GoaNet/GoaNetDigest have not grown to potential.
* Lastly, the projects have been taken up by individuals who have been
networked through GoaNet, rather than by GoaNet itself.... networking
itself, and sharing ideas, has its own positive fallouts.
