Enjoy Life - This is not a rehearsal! Konkani uloi, boroi, vach ani samball - sodankal. Hich Goenchi osmitai ani amchem khalxelponn. Goenchi amchi Konkani bhas! Ekvottachem saddon Goenkaranchem. QUEM QUER ANDA E QUEM NAO QUER MANDA! Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little..... 2nd Mega Rally at Lohia Maidan - Margao - 29 April 2011 The GRA [GOEMCHEA RAKHONDARANCHO AWAZ] announces it's 2nd. mega rally at the Lohia Maidan, Margao, for 29th April, 2011. Incidentally, this rally was originally planned for the 8th. April, 2011, but had to be postponed for the 29th. April due to unforeseen circumstances. It is hoped that this rally, like the first one on 15th. march, 2011, at Azad Maidan, Panjim, will be massively attended to send the right signals to the 'powers that be' that the people of GOA do not like what is happening to their beloved GOA and expect a definite change for the better. A request goes to the Goans in diaspora to urge their beloved ones residing in Goa to attend this rally and to make their mark by way of depositing their suggestions in the suggestion boxes that will be provided for the day. GRA wishes to inform one and all that more than one hundred suggestions (with contact numbers and/or e-mail addresses) have been received at the 15 March Azad Maidan rally, and we at GRA are in the process of personally contacting these persons for a wider feedback and to invite their participation in the activities of GRA. Needless to say that GRA is much wiser now, through the 'pulse feeling' of the citizens, than when it was cobbled together immediately before 15 March 2011. For the young blooded youth of Goa here is a special message from GRA. This is your chance to make your voice heard and your presence felt. You are the future of this state". GRA would be pleased to attract the youth and to attend to their grievances as far as is possible. Last but not the least, GRA assures GOA and GOANs that it will not let them down, ever. Thank you Sincerely, Sd/- for South-Goa Co-ordinators [Kim Miranda/Croydon Medeira/Laurel Abranches, Geraldine Fernandes, Yatin Pai, Rajendra Kakodkar et al] [Source: Floriano Lobo.] LAST GASP: Konkani poems on youtube.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycjrY-NPAgk Winners - Goa Boys IFRA 30 Years Celebrations Conclude in Kuwait http://mangalorean.com/news.php?newstype=broadcast&broadcastid=232418 FOCC Kuwait supports MAS project in India http://www.focckwt.org/mas.pdf The Hindu April 20, 2011 The Hindu April 18, 2011 April 16, 2011 The Hindu April 14, 2011 The Hindu April 12, 2011 The Hindu April 19, 2011 The Hindu April 17, 2011 April 15, 2011 April 13, 2011 The Hindu April 11, 2011 http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/cartoon/ One of the unique festivals that take place at the Campal Heritage Precincts at Panjim is the Konkan Fruit Fest - 29th April to 1st May 2011 www.goa-world.com/goa/fruitfest/
