Try Vaz enterprises, who have their own bottling plant, I think, in
Cuncolim. They are situated in Margao, near Grace Church.

[Goanet] Ache din anewale haim

[Nelson Lopes]

Ache din anewale haim

Modi  has been rightly called the dream merchant and through his eloquent
speeches has marketed both in India and abroad has mesmerized audiences
into believing them. The despondency, policy paralysis ,incumbency,  and
corruption scandals , besides concerted, personal campaign by BJP has led
to obliteration of the  Congress  party. The Congress has become irrelevant
opposition so it seems in both in state and Parliamentary elections.
Captivating campaign against corruption, family rule, black money, saab ka
vikas, saab ke saat, ache din ane wale haim, swept the voters into
believing the change for better, The disillusion has had its effect in
Delhi elections, wherein the BJP had to bite the dust. In Mharashtra and
Kashmir BJP is sharing power with these parties against whom it fought a
running war of words and accusations, Power is the common denominator in
the aspiration of BJP. While accusing Congress of concentration of power in
the first family, BJP for all purposes is steered by P.M only, as no one
dares to speak out of turn. The defense Minister is inaugurating fish
stalls, while P,M signs the deal in France for military aircraft. It is
only the RSS sound bites that seem to indicate, as to where the power
centre lies , but the P.M in his wisdom seem to silently swallow the
insults and deliberate pin pricks

 After winning landslide majority in Parliament and some states, the BJP
juggernaut is halted into its track to introspect on being pulverized in
Delhi election in spite of having invested all the resources at its
command  Never in the history of Independent India the whole country is in
turmoil for the BJP in connivance with RSS and other fringe elements
promoting hate campaigns, dividing the Nation vertically on communal lines
and polarizing the voters openly on communal  and religious basis

Fear and apprehension has gripped the minorities due to various atrocities
all over India affecting safety, security and fundamental rights guaranteed
by Constitution. The brute majority seems to assure the BJP that it can
steam role all opposition at least in Lokh  Sabha through the route of
excessive ordinances. It is tasting the bitter medicine in Raja Sabha,of
stalling proceedings, which was earlier prescribed by itself The President
of USA in no uncertain terms has lashed against religious intolerance The
European Nations have cautioned India against the persecution of religious
minorities not being conducive to foreign investment or growth and
development

The stirring of peaceful atmosphere all over India by frequent disruptive,
religious and communal utterances has vitiated the atmosphere after the
advent of majority Govt. of BJP. There is absolute no control on fringe
elements with their sarcastic, caustic utterances that are designed to
indicate the supremacy of Hindutva psyche. The rising prices on all fronts,
bans, attack on minority religious estab lishments, insensitivity towards
farmers by land grab and natural disasters, communal flare ups, instigating
the minorities, justification and rationalizations of all problems by
pointing fingers to the previous Govt,is no soothing balm to the ills
facing the populace to day There is increasing concentration to advance,
promote the cause of Hindutva imagining perhaps that it is the one time,
divine opportunity to push  forward rigorously intolerable  religious
fanaticism. BJP will also sooner or later go the way of Congress
decimation, unless it realizes its folly of the pedestal of majority and
ignores the historical mandate to fulfill all its grandiose dreams.

[Goanet] Fifteenth Annual May Queen Ball on May 7 in Qatar

[Simon D'Silva]

http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=311742

http://www.newskarnataka.com/gulf/Fifteenth-May-Queen-Ball-on-May-7-in-Qatar/#.VS41wkKItwY.gmail


Doha: Goan Welfare Association gears up for 15th May Queen Ball

*Media Release*

*Doha, Apr 14:* The 15th Annual May Queen Ball, one of Doha's most
important events presented by Goan Welfare Association, Qatar, is all set
to roll on May 7 at The Radisson Blu, Doha.

Simon D’Silva, president of the GWA, said that the event which is an annual
feature has grown from strength to strength over the years. This year being
the 15th edition the organization is planning a mega celebration, he said.

The highlight of the event will be crowning of 15th May Queen by Bollywood
stars.

Goa’s No 1 band 'The Forefront' will perform through the night and teaming
up with the band will be Goa’s ace compere Updesh Swar.

Forefront took off into the music world for over a decade and from then it
was no looking back. The band took off right from the start by performing
for all the top shows in Goa and across India and abroad.

The success story of Forefront lies in the music they play, with strong
stage presence and a distinct ability in sensing the pulse of their
audiences.

Their extensive repertoire of music such as English retro, Bollywood,
latest from billboard charts and rock music is what makes every party a big
success.

The band is powered by five top musicians with Agatha on vocals, Savio on
drums and vocals, Brendan on keyboards and vocals, Melvin on guitar and
vocals, Seby on bass and vocals. Melvin also plays the Punjabi dhol.

Their musical combination attracts everyone’s attention at a party or at a
concert. When the band takes center stage, they are show stoppers and with
Updesh Swar at the helm, they are lethal and can set the dance floor on
fire. The crowd shouting out for more and not wanting to leave the floor is
a common feature for every show. 'Forefront' is one of the few bands in
India who can play a wide genre of music with perfection.

Their performance in Macau, China where they represented Goa at the '15th
Lusofonia Festival' was a feather in their cap. Their performance earned
them the 2nd place among nine countries including Brazil and Portugal.

Forefront's electrifying performance for Goa Day celebration in Cranford,
London on July 28, 2013 had an overwhelming response from a crowd of over
12,000 people. The band was featured on Sony TV in London and also in Pan
Asian countries. Forefront opened up for an international act 'The Bellamy
of Brothers Concert' in Goa.

Goan Welfare Association has rendered yeoman’s service in nurturing Goan
culture and spirit among the large number of Goan expatriates. On a larger
note the association has always been in the forefront of reaching out to
various causes back home, thus setting a shining example to all. It is
therefore not astonishing to see them host events with great aplomb and
success over the last one and half decade. The association is known not
only for meticulous planning but also perfect execution and the annual May
Queen Ball has been the true example of this.

The glamorous May Queen contest will be conducted in great style and
fanfare.

Daijiworld.com and Gulf Times are the official media partners for the event.

*Participants to the contest may contact the organisers as soon as
possible. For more details contact 0491, 55218480, 55530823, 66529367,
55529397, 33004799, 66251577, 66586858, 55804898.*

[Goanet] One hundred years on ... words, music and stories that remain

[Goanet Reader]

Goanet

If you were not at Alto Porvorim on Wednesday, here's a
97-minute recording of the event held at the Xavier Centre of
Historical Research, from an event held to mark the 100th
anniversary of Professor Lucio Rodrigues, writer and man of
many roles.

--
TUNE IN TO THE ENTIRE AUDIO RECORDING:
https://archive.org/details/lucio-100
--

After a brief welcome by XCHR director Dr Savio Abreu SJ,
Doriacher Lalari (around 2:15) is sung, with tasteful guitar
accompaniment, by the noted guitarist Chico Fonseca of
Fontainhas, incidentally Prof Lucio's student! Followed by
Undir Muja Mama, the catchy-tuned dulpod (4:55).

An introduction to the programme follows at 7:05. At 11:38 is
the moderator Prof Isabel Santa Rita Vas, a former student
and former colleague of Prof Lucio (at Dhempe College of Arts
and Science, Miramar).

  Dr Maria Aurora Couto (15:30) suggests that it was
  very important to have Prof Lucio's work
  republished.  Dr Couto said: "As a 14 year old
  girl, he made such a profound impression on me."
  Her reminiscences of Karnatak College, its Goan
  students, and its one time English professor (Prof
  Lucio) were interesting and drew some laughter from
  the audience.

His role in starting a branch of the Victor Paranjoyati's
Madrigal Singers Choir in Dharwad was remembered.  "Lucio
extending my musical life, beyond the sacred music of my
father, with madrigals and spirituals.  It was not just
Konkani music [that he was proficient at]," said Dr Couto.

  His transformation from a "suave and poetic figure"
  into a khadi-clad Congressman in the first election
  of 1963 in Goa was also recalled.

Prof Ramola Antao (24:24) talks about her experiences as a
student in the very first batch of Prof Lucio's at the Dhempe
College. His informality but thoroughness in his classes was
commented on with nostalgia. His kindness and fairness was
noted in particular.

Prof Rabin Pinto (36:25) had his own story of what helped him
to survive and continue as a 24-year-old young professor at
Dhempe's in the 1970s.  In those days, incidentally, Dhempe
College had morning, afternoon and night classes!

  Prof Lucio's essays were recalled -- on caste, on
  crackers (and tradition), on mangoes, and more.  Dr
  Isabel Santa Rita Vas calls Lucio "familiar but
  also very professionarial...  well dressed, and
  with a fob watch he pulled out of his pocket and
  read with great style." He talks "with a very, very
  genuine knowledge of the soil, which you cannot
  fake" (58:20).

"If this (compiling the folk tales) is not to be done now,
what is to happen to our folk tales?  They will vanish!,"
warned Dr Vas.

At least three persons mentioned Prof Lucio's essay on caste
(specially among Catholics) in Goa, *To Konna'lo*.

At 1:04:08, Ann-Marie, a student of St Xavier's College,
Mapusa, reads from the writing of Prof Lucio.  This essay on
mangoes, a fruit right in season here, says: "Your Afonso is
an aristocrat.  He believes in civilised table manners..."

Next came excerpts of Lucio speaking and singing Konkani folk
to students in the United States, way back in the late 1960s.
But the entire recordings are available free online, so best
to tune in to it there: http://bit.ly/luciorodrigues

  At 1:16:00, Prof Edward De Lima praises his former
  teacher: "He was a very good teacher.  We never
  missed his lectures, although we would bunk
  others." He said that if there's a tradition of
  symposia, elections and the like at the Dhempe
  College, it was a legacy of Prof Lucio.  "He loved
  Goa and he's one of the Goans who decided to come
  down to Goa after Liberation to work here," Prof
  Lima said.

Dr Varsha Kamat (after 1:22:00) commented: "I was sitting in
the Central Library and reading the *Goan World* of 1938, and
I found such wonderful stories written by Prof Lucio
Rodrigues.  Since then, I've been telling these stories to
everyone in the Central Library.  And when I went home, my
husband told me that he was his teacher too".  She mentioned
her excitement on knowing of this tribute to Prof Lucio.

Prof Lucio's sister, Margret Fernandes (1:23:24) noted that
the Rodrigues family was from Piquen Chinvar, in Anjuna.  She
called "Ma'an" [Elder Brother] Lucio a gentle, loving son and
kind sibling.

Further, 1:26:30 has a ghumot performance of a mando by
Lourenco.  Former Jesuit provincial Fr Tony da Silva
(Tony-da) 1:32:35 says a thankyou.  At the end (1:35:48),
Chico Fonseca charmingly strings his guitar once again.
