Hi Floriano, Goa's show case of doom started in 1961 and you very much subscribe to it!
What you have written about the 500 million rich is utopia. Remove your blinkers. BC This comment has no context whtsoever with the topic under discussion. Hope Goan expats are not judged on such quality of intelligence. If so, then it will be show-case for Goa's past, present and future doom. floriano ----- Original Message ---- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: goanet@lists.goanet.org Sent: Thursday, 21 August, 2008 12:32:30 Subject: Goanet Digest, Vol 3, Issue 1049 Send Goanet mailing list submissions to goanet@lists.goanet.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Goanet digest..."

Your point 4 is stunning, and what I like most is the palpable anger that comes through. Just to get one thing clear though, I don't think the discrimination has ended, if anything it has become even worse. Your article on 'Caste' is extremely interesting and I shall dwell on it some more. It strikes me though that I should recommend Richard lannoy's The Speaking Tree to you (if you haven't already read it) and in particular his chapter titled (if my memory's right) 'Between The Antipodes'...

The Bihari CM has asked for an apology from Ravi Naik. I hope that Ravi Naik - for once - discovers his backbone and tells the Bihari thugs to go shove it. The Biharis and UP bhaiyyas have become a nuisance everywhere they go. Their politicians never ever wonder why it is that their people want to leave their wretched states in such large numbers and go foul up other places. I say, Goa would do well to keep the Bihar and the UP bhaiyya out of Goa.

I?ve been reading the exchanges about the convention and feel compelled to express my thoughts on it. First off, I?d like to congratulate the organizers on what I heard was a very successful event. You deserve a great deal of praise for taking the initiative to bring the Goan diaspora together to make them more aware of issues in Goa and in the international Goan community, and to share in the traditions and culture that make us Goan. All too often we talk and nothing comes of it. It?s refreshing to see someone take some action. We?re indebted to you for all the hard work and time that you invested selflessly in community. We need more people like you in the community. Congratulations on a job very well done! The organizers of the convention have shown us that it doesn?t matter who you are or where you are; any one of us can make a difference in the community. Don?t be afraid to step up to do something for Goa or the community; whether you do something for your local community or something on a larger scale. There are lots of people who can help you. I, for one, am happy to support anyone who does anything for Goa and the Goan community. I think this is an important message, especially for the youth. We need more young people to get involved and we need to have an encouraging environment that gives them a chance to do so. As a community it?s sad to see that we?re largely unsupportive of each other. I was disappointed to hear what the attendance was given that convention was organized in Toronto, which is meant to have the highest population of Goans outside of Goa. I?m ashamed, too, that to a large extent we?re so critical as a community. Here we?ve had a group of us trying to make a difference and do something good for Goa and the community and instead of being showered with thanks and praise they?ve faced lots of criticism. We?ve got to make a concerted effort as a group to change this. We really have. I had a friend who told me once that Goans as a community as a whole never look out for their own. He then went on to give me an example of how Keralites take care of their own. One Keralite working in a company will bring in another Keralite and together they?ll bring in more. They are happy to see other Keralites succeed. That?s such a good example of a community being supportive and everyone trying to help one another. Unfortunately, my friend has had the opportunity to give business to another Goan in the community but he didn?t. The point is that we?ve got to stop talking and take responsibility for ourselves. Don?t tell me that Goans never help each other; you be the first to reach out to other Goans. Folks, it?s high time that changed out ways and became better as a community. No one likes the ?crab mentality?. So why not change? We need to take it upon ourselves to make a concerted effort to be more supportive. Now there?s always be some among us who either can?t change or won?t change. There?ll always be someone with ?critical insights? or someone who discourages you. And, there?ll always be politics. In my experience you just have to ignore all of this and do what you need to do. Constructive criticism is healthy but ignore the rest. At the end of the day if we?re unhappy about ourselves as a community then we have to take it upon ourselves to change. And, we *can* change as a community. Change starts with each one of us. Great job again to the organizers. Congratulations again! Many thanks to all those who attended the convention, especially those who travelled from far. And, many thanks to all of you doing you part in your local communities. Best wishes, - Herman :) _________________________________________________________________ Make a mini you on Windows Live Messenger! http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/107571437/direct/01/ ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:49:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Gilbert Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] Maca Paos - Not Paca Paos To: goanet@lists.goanet.org Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 I was told this word arose because Goans were bread-eaters rather than chapati- or nan-eaters.?
