[Goanet] Fwd: Goan Website Hit by VV (Virus Veronica)
TO[EMAIL PROTECTED] Goan Website Hit by VV (Virus Veronica) Dear Web-Editor and all you wonderful people! Evidently Veronicas web reports prove a source of dreadful viral contamination to our great Goan website and spirit. Todays world news is rife with terrorism, tension, sadness and sorrow. So much similar is the mental destruction spread by people like Veronica - accomplice de facto?? A view of this site rakes up the most inferior mudsling language rampant with vulgarity, defamation and garbage. More intriguing is, a popular site such as this levies no censorship of the low-calibre contribution. Perhaps one would conclude that the writing of such psyched writers associate with their personality projection. Sadly, Veronica is still shrouded in the obscurity of his thoughts oblivious of the pain caused to the Goan heart. Words once expressed cannot be recaptured by the fastest steed!!! Humanly like Veronica, others too get judgmental. Why break, why not build? Symbolically speaking why does this contemporary Cain always get into the act of killing Abel, his Goan brother. It is clichéd the plume is mightier than the sword ? Veronica, this paragraph is now dedicated to you in the generosity and kindness of the Goan spirit. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell in unity. Celebrate the goodness of Goa and brethren. Uplift than strike down. I thought that VERONICA was given the imprint of JESUS face but you carry the imprint of SATAN. Well now the breaking news is that I heard that the main person behind all these articles is the stale fish (imsan) of Colva. A frustrated man that he is, works for a bank in Kuwait who schemes and plots to kill. A real BLACK COBRA by nature with jealousy venom causes evil where ever he crawls, started with NGOA, then Goa Maroons and lastly deserted by his own village club. This shady confused-looking character imsan is the actual devious mind behind all your filthy emails. And you, Mr V, do you realize that imsan is making you a scapegoat! How foolish can you get while imsan protects his image with all that cyborg baloney for the benefit of his own publicity, you are exposed with all gutter language and thinking. Imsan would do anything to uplift his brother even if it has to be at the cost of these cheap and filthy ways, but its a pity that imsan brother solicits help for lyrics, songs, play and skits from famous directors, now, now we naturally know imsan is your good friend and imsan will resort solely to your substandard writing to uplift his brother at any negative cost. Such thug-ism !!! And yes, all applause to the Sounstha group !!! Some allergy that you three musketeers have Sounstha went right ahead establishing their tiatrist association. How fortunate that imsan and brother were intentionally cordoned off. And there you go again, reason for another of your email stinkers, this time targeting Sounstha more gutter language truly a viscous circle. We know your game too well now ! Why not channel your energy to constructive matters for example, defending our Konkani basha. Hats off to our tiatrists, who at the frontline risk their image to frankly deliver a message through the art of drama and song.If it could so be termed as courage or skill why do you not see this as good material for your writing to uphold, to compliment, to boost, to enjoy, to be entertained then why do you brand them as rostad? Before I end a small peace of advice to you Veronica and that is, you must know in true faith that there exists a power above the might of the plume or sword the power of prayer. Pray before and after you launch your article it will make a world of a difference Let the past be history, the present be a reality to hail your forthcoming articles in the true goodness of our Goan vision. Now to you Web Masters with me many others would like youll to ban Veronica bad language as it will only spoil goan image, and of course the name, image, reputation your website hold.

[Goanet] Sadhu Shilanand pioneers new approach in evangelisation
SAR News Apr. 23, 2002 Sadhu Shilanand Pioneers a New Approach in Evangelisation New Delhi: SAR News A Jesuit Brother, Sadhu Shilanand, calls it Masihi Satsangh, which literally means Christian fellowship groups. It is a pleasant mixture of charismatic movement and traditional Indian style of katha-kirtan, or story-telling through songs. As a zealous missionary, Sadhu Shilanand is clear about his vision and mission: evangelisation of village folks through proclaiming the life and message of Christ through ways and means in which the people understand and feel at home. Sadhu Shilanand, born Silvester D'Souza at Mangalore, has a team of five lay people who are clued up on his vision and mission of evangelisation, the life and message of Jesus Christ and the catechism of the Catholic Church. Sadhu Shilanand told SAR News that he worked with a veteran Jesuit missionary, Fr. Ed Mann, in the village mission in Bihar and from his method of preaching and catechising the village people, he has learned a lot and developed his present method of evangelisation. With this new approach, evangelisation has been taking place effectively in Patna Diocese since 1998, says Sadhu Shilanand. He has the whole of the four Gospels and the Acts composed in the form of traditional Ram Katha in local Bhojpuri and Maghi dialects, which even the illiterate villagers can understand. Usually his five-member team consisting of an animator, a singer, a preacher and drum-beater goes to a village or to a hostel in the village. The drum-beating and singing, usually late in the evening, begin to attract villagers. When people gather, the team acts out a real scene from the lives of the local people and then again with the help of the people, the scene is analysed. The animator leads the dialogue with the people. The message of the enacted scene is reinforced through singing and appropriate conclusion leading to repentance, reconciliation, etc. The people also participate actively as the final songs which usually involve dancing to the tune of the songs and drum-beating. One village in my parish has only one Catholic family. But now after a programme by the Masihi Satsangh team, more and more people are keen to accept Jesus as their Saviour, says Jesuit Father Augustine of the Catholic Church at Basanni Kothi, Bihar. Another Parish Priest, Fr. Mathew Uzhuthal of Catholic Church, Mokama, Bihar wrote to Sadhu Shilanand: Mr. Arun and Mr. Ajay, your team members, are really talented and hard working. They sing and speak to people convincingly and consistently the Catholic interpretations of the Bible passages in the dialect of the people. This helped even the illiterate people in the village to understand the message which they want to convey. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet === For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?

[Goanet] Support this restaurant
Greetings all. Fred Noronha has persuaded me to resubscribe to this forum, and I'm happy to see some old-time correspondents still contributing here. Anyway, I'm back after spending ten extremely hot days in Goa - coinciding with that BJP national conference. It was rather interesting to see giant cut-outs of the leadership of that party on the streets of Panjim, and to have the view from my car windows literally saffronized with party flags festooned every few yards. The highlight of every trip to Goa for us is, naturally, the food. It was mango season, and we made sure to eat as many as we could get our hands on. And there was plenty of fish available, especially my favorite little velhos which I consumed in vast quantity - entire schools of them disappeared into my appreciative gullet. The purpose of this post, however, is to tell you all about my #1 culinary discovery on this trip to Goa - the newish little restaurant in Caranzalem called 'O Cozinheiro'. It takes a little bit of finding, since it's off the main road and tucked into a corner of that accessible village, but do persevere. Here's the thing - Goan restaurants are plentiful but very few feature cooks who really take pains to interpret the local cuisine in a meticulous and attentive manner. I always eat at Florentine, for example, the now-legendary dive in Saligao, and the food there is consistently fine, but it isn't particularly carefully made. The same can be said of Martin's Corner in Betalbatim in the South of Goa. Good food, good ingredients, but perhaps lacking in a certain professional element that could take the food from simply good to eye-opening, to world-class. It is a small irony that Floyd Cardoz has taken New York somewhat by storm with his elegant and daring interpretations of Goan (at least Bombay Goan) dishes with an eye towards haute cuisine, but Goa has lacked a chef (or chefs, if we want to be greedy) with the confidence to do something similar at home. Now, I'm not comparing a celebrity, classically-trained, chef like Floyd Cardoz to Joe Martins of 'O Cozinheiro', and most likely young Martins would be appalled at the very idea. But let me put it this way - Cardoz himself would surely like Martins' food. O' Cozinheiro features a menu of straight up Goan standards, from chicken cafreal to all the various fish and crab and shellfish dishes, and a range of starters. Everything is reasonably priced, maybe 10% more than Florentine but still a fraction of what you'd pay at a hotel. But what distinguishes its food from that of any other restaurant I've been to in Goa is the minute care taken with each ingredient, Martins is clearly someone who loves his Goan culinary palette and takes immense pride in displaying in the best light possible. He carefully marinates and ages his meats, his fish is prepared with a light and expert touch. Let me give you this example of his attentiveness - not content with the (good) quality of bread commercially available, Martins makes his own by going through the arduous process of mixing his batter and proving it in climate-controlled conditions, and then making it fresh to serve hot to his delighted customers. It's the best bread in Goa, and that's saying something. Why am I taking the (entirely unsolicited) step of giving Martins such a public appreciation on the Internet? Because he should be supported, and because I am entirely confident that his food will win you over as it did me. In fact, my first meal there was so revelatory and singular that I made it a point to revisit a few days later to re-test. No disappointment whatsoever. It's a small restaurant, extremely neat and clean even though the decor can most charitably be described as 'homey'. But Martins is doing something quite special, and he deserves to have his efforts rewarded. Go there the next time you're in Goa, make it a point to have a meal at 'O Cozinheiro', I am sure that you will be entirely satisfied by the experience, and I dare say that you'll wind up as captivated as everyone I know has been. I happen to have the address handy - O Cozinheiro, Near Football Ground, Caranzalem, Ilhas. Telephone - 228234. Check it out. VM __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[Goanet] Fashions and Fools
Margaret Mascarenhas: fashion and fools I went for the fashion show at Ingo's Saturday night market last weekend, and I hope no one takes this personally, but it was the most entertaining fashion event I've attended in the past couple of years. The beachwear was hep, the clothes eminently practical for the Goan climate, and all the pants and trousers for woman were designed to fit their bodies. I don't know why most Indian designers can't seem to get the crotch thing down, but they can' t, and there it is. My personal favourite was a label known as Skinners, which had a kind of rap or bebop jersey and leather look. Their clothes are available at the Anjuna flea market and at a place called Ambrosia, which I plan to hit as soon as I figure out where it is. After the fashion show, my friend Raji discovered a stall selling beaded hats that give you a kind of Cleopatra look. We bought a bunch them and plan to start a fashion trend. Another pleasant surprise was the food stalls, which are really very good. I recommend the suchi. Also, the stall known as Janet and John's (or is it the other way around? anyway, you get the picture) serves very good Mediterranean fare. There is always live music at the Saturday night market. They should definitely dispense with the fire shows, though. These are dangerous and result in the audience being splattered, and occasionally drenched, in kerosene, which is no one's perfume of choice. Ingo's market is located in Arpora at what was formerly known as the Haystack, and is not to be confused with the Baga one which is a narrow and crowded strip that makes your head spin. At some point, I found myself standing with a group of people I know vaguely. One of them prides himself on his anecdotes. Heh, heh, he sniggered mincingly, while I groaned inwardly because I knew this was the cue. I know a guy who met his life partner on these very grounds, when it was still called the Haystack, he said. The others leaned forward in anticipation, and I was simply stricken with awe at their terrifying gullibility, because I knew that this story was headed for the same place all his other stories were headed, which is straight up his rear end. The man was fair and the woman was dark, the freakshow continued, and I congratulated him for being the first man to find a nigger in a Haystack. He laughed uproariously at his own joke, which in fact, I had heard before from the actual author of the joke (not him), and then he petted his own empty head in a congratulatory sort of way. Probably he is someone who goes to Church regularly and even practices Lent. If wonder if he knows that Christ was not a white man? I excused myself and moved away, feeling as sick to my stomach as the first time I'd heard this story. The next morning I spoke with a woman who informed me that there are educated people (by this I guess she means that they basically know the alphabet) around who say that there was never any slave trade in Goa. I won 't name names, said the informant, but she wanted me to know that whoever they are, they express their opinion on this subject with the thunderous righteousness that many use to camouflage their ignorance. I was bored, and didn't have the patience to give a history lesson over the phone. Let them go to the Archives and look up the lists of slaves bought and sold in the Praca de Leilao, I said impatiently. Let them go to the Central Library for the first time in their lives and read about their own history. Or not. If people want to wallow around in their ignorance and expose themselves for what they are, why should I get my knickers in a twist? It's a free country. I gave up trying to change the world shortly after college, which is when I took my first reality byte. My father tells me that his family had a slave called Valente, who died long before I myself was born. Valente's main claim to fame was that he once served tea to the then Governor of Goa. He did this dressed in a dinner jacket and a kashti.

[Goanet] SCHOOL BASKET BALL FINAL ON WEDNESDAY
INTERSCHOOL BASKET-BALL SEMIFINALS. In an interschool basket-ball tournament organized by United Goans Centre to mark the Silver Jubilee of their establishment, on 17th of this month at Jabriya Indian School Ground, the host defeated United Indian School by 44-24. Before the start of the matach at 5.30 the Chairman of the School Mr. Mathews was introduced to both the teams by the chief coordinator Fidelis Fernandes. Backed by their vociferous supporters including boys and girls with musical instruments and singing hosannas in praise of their colleagues Jabriya Indian School lads took the field with the intention to win. With the clever tips from their coach K. M. Jose from the side lines Jabriya really played well and won the match with a very comfortable margin. In the second encounter at the same venue, at 7.00 p.m., Carmel School faced an uphill task to overcome the stiff oppostion posed by their opponents Delhi Public School who were showing their maiden appearance in this tournament due to the privellege they got of slotting into bye position. During the first and second quarters DPS lads looked to be very aggressive and gave a hint that they will surely carry the day. However, in the 3rd quarter the whole situation changed as Carmel boys started scoring one after the other and in the final quarter they took full control of the match thereby winning the encounter with a handsome score of 31 23. Before the start of this match, Mrs. Jafri the vice-principal of JIS and Mr. Sharma the Manager of DPS were introduced to both the participating teams. TOMORROW WEDNESDAY 24TH APRIL - FINAL The final of this tournament will be played at the same venue on Wednesday 24th of this month at 7.00 p.m. between Jabriya Indian School and Carmel School. Before the final at 6.00 p.m., for the third place, United Indian School Abbasiya will meet Delhi Public School Ahmadi. A. Veronica Fernandes, Kuwait. Thursday 11th April 2002 Jabriaya Indian School was the venue for the Inter School Basketball tournament, orguanized by United Goan Centre, Kuwiat. The teams trying to vie for a place in the semi finals Jabriya Indian School and English School Fahaheel. Both teams with very agile ball handlers in their side, on paper, could not match the superior position play of the JIS (Jabriya Indian School), who out played the English School Fahaheel boys in all departments of basket ball. The ESF (English School Fahaheel), were all at sea, not knowing whether to guard their basket or attack the opponents basket. The JIS team with a vociferous crowd support, of students and supporters beating drums and cheering their teams being their home court, led the thrashing that was the end result of 69 9. The top scorer for JIS being No.22 Phillip with 22 points to his credit, but the credit should go to Osama who scored 16 points and was instrumental in thwarting the ESK attack. The first quarter saw JIS taking a 18 to 2 lead thanks to the position play of their shooting guard Steve, who made space for counter attacks, and dunked the baskets, at leisure. ESK on the other hand were lethargic, going for sowmanship which did not translate into points for them. The best the ESK could do was in the third quarter when they scored 5 points to 18 of JIS. Teams: JIS : Osama K, Filip S, Nounie A, Tyrone W, Mahmood N, Bilal I, Steve J, Arun R, Mahd A, Ahmed A, Roshan M, Salman M, ESK: Ahmed a, Sailwali S, Islam B, Mohammad S, Ahmed D, Mohammed A, Ibrahim G, The second match of the day pitted Indian Public School against Gulf Indian School Gulf Indian school scored of a free throw when they were fouled, and carried on to win 30 14, thanks to Eapen scoring 16 of those points. The highlight of the day was their three point shooting . Teams: GIS: Eapen, Saji, Lenni, karan, Suresh, Rohit, Nawaf, Habib, Hamja, Harmeet IPS: Jivi, Kevin, Justin, Prathesh, Aswin, Salim, Olin Friday 12th April 2002 United Indian School Vs. Gulf Indian School Introduction. After seeing exciting basketball at its best on Thursday, we expected United Indian School to the be underdogs, but it was not to be; United Indian School led their charge with No. 10 who hoodwinked the Gulf Indian School players, scoring 8 points for his team in the first quarter to lead 14-0 GIS was not the team of Thursday, even Eapen was guilty of missing easy lay ups, and free throws, and the day ended with a score of 53 15 in favour of United Indian School.

[Goanet] Summer Course at NIO
Summer Course at NIO The four day summer course for the first batch of the students who responded to the newspaper announcement, will start at 10:30 a.m. from 23 April, 2002 at the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Dona Paula. The course, which aims to create an awareness about the seas, flora fauna and sensitive ecosystem such as mangroves, includes lectures, film slide shows and field trips to a beach and mangrove area. The students will be given an opportunity to work in the laboratory to analyse the samples they have collected during these field trips and prepare their observation reports. It is hoped that such courses will inculcate an appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of the ocean, says Dr. Ehrlich Desa, Director, NIO. We have much to do in this regard, and even though it is an extra demand on our colleagues' time, we shall be putting an increasing thrust, if for no other reason than to interest bright young students to the excitement of research in the ocean science. The course for the second batch which also has about 50 students will commence from April 30. All the parents of the first batch have been informed about the arrangements, telephonically by e-mail, says Mr. S.R. Bhat. The encouraging response from over 100 students has highlighted the need for such awareness programmes on a regular basis, he said. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet === For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?

[Goanet] INTERVIEW: Building bridges from Portugal... via cyberspace
GOANS OVERSEAS: BUILDING BRIDGES FROM PORTUGAL... VIA CYBERSPACE One generation after Portugal and its 451-year-old former colony Goa suddenly snapped their ties, a new generation of expats based there are finding that cyberspace is building bridges that cut across language, political and geographical gaps. Constantino Hermanns Xavier, 20, is of Goan-German origins and lives in Portugal. His father's roots are in Verna, Salcete while his grand-mum still lives in Fontainhas, Panjim. His mum comes from Dusseldorf, Germany. After living in Germany and Brazil, the family has been 22 years in Lisbon, where he lives with his brother Isabel (27) and Leonardo (18). Says he: My interests, besides everything related to Goa, are history, sports (I played football in a district league for three years). I'm also active with my student friends from university at the Centre for Studies in Political Science and International Relations. During a recent sojourn in Goa, he spoke about The Portuguese Political System at the Goa University in February. Currently he studies his third year of International Relations, at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Future plans are always open and changing, says he. To understand how expat Goan communities have been using the Net, FREDERICK NORONHA quizzed Xavier [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Excerpts: --- How would you describe your current work as a 'online community builder' for the Goan community in Portugal? --- I'm part of a younger generation of Goans, who were already born outside Goa, here in Portugal, or in some other country. These young people of Goan origin are pretty much fully integrated in the Portuguese society, and have access to Internet and other modern resources. That's why, three years back, I started a website on Goa (that time it was called vivaGoa). I am trying to link this generation upto today's Goa, so they see this place far away in India still exists and is part of them and their ancestors. Besides this cultural and value oriented objective, I also try to pass on the message that Goa maintains a huge potential they can explore: as a holiday spot, as a business opportunity, as a historical place where they can find their roots...and so on. --- What's the size of the Goan community in Portugal? We hear widely varying figures... what does your experience suggest? --- The size of the Goan community in Portugal -- mainly centered in Lisbon and surrounding areas, but also around Coimbra -- is very hard to estimate. Who is a Goan? Do you count younger people like me in? On what criteria? I have heard many figures: numbers are around 10,000 to 50,000. The Goan community consists mainly of Catholics, but there have been always some important Hindu families who are fully integrated into the Portuguese society. There are Goans from different origins and Goans who have arrived at different historical periods: before 1961 we had for centuries a long immigration trend coming from the old Estado Portugues da India. Goans would come (to Portugal) to continue their studies, to work in the public administration, and so on. There are important goans who have achieved great reputation here: Francisco Luis Gomes, Alfredo da Costa, (the ophthalmologist) Gama Pinto and many more. After 1961, following ... the end of Portuguese colonial power in India, many Goans left for Portugal, for professional and academic purposes, for political reasons (the Portuguese authorities encouraged thousands of Goans to emigrate) and also for economical reasons, looking for a better life in Europe. Besides this, a third group of Goans arrived in Portugal after 1974, with the end of the Portuguese colonial regimes in Africa, mainly from Mozambique. These Goans had lived for many years in Africa, and still today they remain a community within the community, strongly attached to their memories from the African continent. As in all immigrant communities, there are strong differences between the elder and the younger generations. In the Goan community, these differences are even more striking. There is a common religion and language with the Portuguese, sometimes even the same educational and cultural values. This makes easier the integration into the Portuguese society, especially for the younger generations, since they have not lived in Goa and were brought up in Portugal. Their friends are Portuguese and they are hardly conscious of their Asian and Indo-Portuguese roots. Curiously, sometimes it's only their darker skin tone that makes them remember that they are not exactly 100% Portuguese. Besides that, they could be as Portuguese as our prime-minister! There are hardly any relations with other

Bhat [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Goanet] Summer Course at NIO Summer Course at NIO The four day summer course for the first batch of the students who responded to the newspaper announcement, will start at 10:30 a.m. from 23 April, 2002 at the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Dona Paula. The course, which aims to create an awareness about the seas, flora fauna and sensitive ecosystem such as mangroves, includes lectures, film slide shows and field trips to a beach and mangrove area. The students will be given an opportunity to work in the laboratory to analyse the samples they have collected during these field trips and prepare their observation reports. It is hoped that such courses will inculcate an appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of the ocean, says Dr. Ehrlich Desa, Director, NIO. We have much to do in this regard, and even though it is an extra demand on our colleagues' time, we shall be putting an increasing thrust, if for no other reason than to interest bright young students to the excitement of research in the ocean science. The course for the second batch which also has about 50 students will commence from April 30. All the parents of the first batch have been informed about the arrangements, telephonically by e-mail, says Mr. S.R. Bhat. The encouraging response from over 100 students has highlighted the need for such awareness programmes on a regular basis, he said. -- Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 18:27:04 -0400 From: Joseph Viegas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Goanet] Re: TIMES: Balcony View Paulo, In a bilingual city like Ottawa, the street names are generally marked in both official languages. Usually the English descriptor (Street, Avenue) is after the name, while the French one is before the name. For example: Hunt Club Road is displayed as Chemin Hunt Club Road Wellington Street displayed as Rue Wellington Street Queen Elizabeth Drive as Promenade Queen Elizabeth Drive Could the Panjim Municipality have the same idea?

I say there is lack of detail in the sense that nobody actually cares about looking for the correct spelling or meaning. That is why we sometimes read in Goa: Rua Abade Faria Road or Hospicio Hospital, etc. Nobody actually cares anymore if it makes sense or not. This is what I mean when I refer to the current lack of detail in Goa. It is good for a laugh ! Sadly. Best, Paulo. -- Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 20:50:44 +0530 From: joaquim fx fernandes .

experience. Actually, there is another asthma remedy from other parts of the world that is more amusing to me than the blood of gaar, and that is swallowing a whole live fish. Have you seen that being done? Cheers, Santosh A lot of people go to Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh, where a family administers this live fish treatment to thousands of asthma sufferers. Once a year, when this event is held, this live fish stuffed with medicines, is virtually pushed down the throat of any willing asthma patient! The website http://www.fish-medicine.org/ provides all the info on this treatment.

[Goanet] Ancestral Home Remedies
And here's another one of those great ancestral home remedies - it does work. For a earache, put three or four drops of breast milk in the ear that is aching, from a mother who is breast feeding. I remember giving my breast milk on 3 ocassions when some family friends asked me to give few drops of breast milk to stop their ear-ache. It did wondersthe ear-ache had gone. Yeahwe need to compile all these remedies so that our future generations can always put them to use - these are far less harmful than modern day medicines, antibiotics etc., Bernadine __ Do You Yahoo!?
