[Goanet] HERALD: Tuesday Tunes
www.oherald.com dated April 23, 2002 TUESDAY TUNES Officials are in, MLAs are out? IF IT WERE an ex-MLA and a bureaucrat, who were lined-up for an audience with the chief minister at the latter's official residence, who among the two would it have been to be granted the meeting first? In normal circumstances, of course the politician. But not any more... at least not since the Goa Legislative Assembly was dissolved. It so happened that a top-rung bureaucrat bumped into an ex-MLA of the BJP in the gallery outside the CM's chamber at 'Mahalaxmi'. Both, had to meet the CM. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, this is what the resigned-looking ex-MLA had to say to the bureaucrat: You should see him (CM) first. You people have the priority now. The statement had the bureaucrat looking embarrassed, and searching for words, but before she could utter any, the CM's office boy walked up to her with a message from the boss to see him! Give-and-take of leaks SOME HUMBLE BUREAUCRATS may feel uncomfortable with their new found superiority over their political counterparts, like the one referred to above. Wonder if her sub-ordinates, would feel the same way once a recent circular that promises officials of the 'joint-secretary' rank for cabins fitted with air-conditioners, is implemented. With the politicians suddenly vacating cabins at the secretariat, the government has discovered that air-conditioned offices are now in excess. This, apparently, is why the government has suddenly felt that joint-secretaries too deserve cabins with ACs.A Superintendent of Police, recently, 'leaked' information about such a government circular. The leak, obviously, was inspired by a jealousy-driven desire that it would result in adverse publicity. Nice try, Mr SP! Saffron clue? THERE ARE SEVERAL legends about the origination of Goa, rather 'Gomant' as it is referred to in the Mahabharata. One such legend speaks of an arrow shot from a peak of the Sahayadri by Parasurama - the sixth incarnation of Vishnu. This arrow, endowed with special powers, pushed the sea backwards, making Goa emerge. The site www.republicday.org, has reproduced this legend which also speaks of present day Benaulim as the Bann-halli spot, meaning, where the arrow fell. Wonder, whether it is this legend that inspired the present day, former legislator of Benaulim, to rediscover the pre-historic origins of his constituency. How else then, can one explain cutting of Congress lines and into the saffron political turf? Goan for Presidency!? WHO IS IN the race for the Indian presidency? We've heard of Dr Karan Singh, Dr P C Alexander and even Dr Farooq Abdullah. But should we mention of Dr Leo Rebello..Leo who? would be the instant response. Read this un-verified posting on the net, that is reproduced hereunder, and, who Dr Leo is, will be discovered we hope. Whereas, Dr Karan Singh and Dr P C Alexander (the two other contenders) have passed their prime, Dr Leo Rebello - who will be 52 in April - if elected will be the youngest President of India. He represents three minorities : Christians (by birth), Parsis (by marriage) and Humanitarians (by choice). He is highly qualified, well-traveled in some 51 countries, has written 25 books, has 30 years of solid all round social work experience. His contribution to Humanism in Health is widely known. He has once again been nominated for a Nobel and recipient of many international awards. He also has clean habits, is a vegetarian and teetotaler and linguist, who speaks fluent Hindi, English, Marathi, Gujarathi and Konkani. Dr Leo Rebello is a statesman and not a politician and his heart beats for India. He is not self-serving and he will not compromise. All over the world there are young leaders. Only in India old men are elected even though the Constitution of India provides 35 as the minimum age for that august post of President of India. In Modi mode SO NATIONAL LEADERS would once again make a bee-line for this tiny state, in order to campaign for their respective political parties. CM Manohar Parrikar in fact announced, that Sushma Swaraj, Venkaiah Naidu, Arun Jaitley would be the star speakers for the party in Goa. Just a small thought, had Mr Modi been invited too? Playing it safe! IT'S STRANGE HOW thorough Goan politicians can be when it comes to the Code of Conduct or elections, rather. Last week, sports journos who drove upto the bungalow of Minister for Forests Prakash Phadte, at Altinho to attend a press conference called to announce the first-ever West Zone Tennis Ball cricket championship, were in for a surprise when officials humbly said the venue was shifted to a prominent city hotel.Sample this now in vogue off-the-record explanation provided by a high-profile official. The minister did not want the press conference to send wrong signals with the Code of Conduct in place. Both the official and Mr Phadte probably had a point. The press conference was due to be followed by the

For example, another addition to stomping breech boy and other home remedies is a deceptively innocuous and silly little Goan folk remedy, whose name I consider to be a triumph of our homegrown Goan imagination. This remedy is fittingly called mithacho goo (Hey, this did pass Herman's filter!). It's use, as far as I know, is limited to little girls with infected newly pierced noses. The whole idea behind this remedy is to separate the dirt from common salt, and apply it to the purulent bleb on the pierced nose of a hapless child. In every instance that I have seen it used, the poor victim ended up with a nose twice as infected and horribly swollen, crying to be rescued by the dreaded antibiotics.

How about that little ayurvedic branch that is still being used to expel a pregnancy - ONLY to perforate the Uterus? There is some benefit from our home remedies. No doubt about it. But in general, African bush medicine Indian Ayurveda is a infinitely less purifies form of Allopathic medicine. Not to say that Allopathic Medicines do not have side effects.

Boogie Formerly, at the entrance of the city of Mapusa (coming either from Panjim or from Parra) there was an avenue called Avenida Manuel Antonio de Sousa. After the takeover of Goa by India the bust of M.A. de Sousa was replaced by that of Mahatma Gandhi and the Mahatma's name was given to the avenue. The nameplates (one at each end of the avenue) was bilingual, but in three lines, thus: Avenida Mahatma Gandhi Avenue so that one could say it either way: Avenida Mahatma Gandhi or Mahatma Gandhi Avenue. I think this three-line nameplate (maybe even in three different colours) might be an idea worth being considered by the municipal councils of Goan cities and towns. As regards what Paulo wrote earlier, worse than Rua Abade Faria Road is the nameplate near the Holy Spirit Church of Margao: Largo Padre Jose Vaz Road. Note the discrepancy between Largo and Road.

[Goanet] Ancestral Home Remedies
Hi Goans Everywhere Her are a few more ancestral home remedies: 1. Kokam or Binda -- a small pharmacoepia -- The skin dried and salted -- (bindi che sola) -- good anti-allergen The fat from the seeds -- bindel -- very good to soften skin -- if you could get enough cosmetic manufacturers would love to use it as the base for lipstick The pulp of the ripe fruit -- made into a syrup -- Amrut okam -- good to bring down blood pressure 2. Pumpkin seeds (yellow variety) -- dried and pounded with gur and copra and formed into ladus -- very good to get rid of worms of all types -- Goans who eat pork roast (from Goan pigs) with the centre portion a lovely pink colour could get tape worms, which work themselves into the brain eventually 3. Nashni or Ragi -- specially the dark red variety we get in Goa -- very rich in iron and easily digested -- ideal for building up strength after an illness -- with gur as TISAN -- or with salt as AIMIL -- you could add grated fresh coconut, raisins, etc to make it interesting for kids -- sprouted nashni, dried and powdered, is even more nutritional 4. Caju feni -- with hot water, lime and sugar -- ideal for colds and coughs 5. Aloe Vera -- that spiked lily-like plant found in most Goan ompounds -- good for blind boils, whitlows and the jelly like stuff inside I am told also for spreading over burns 6. Leaves of the four o-clock flower -- good for putting on a blind boil with castor oil -- brings the boil to a head drawing out all the pus 7. Fibrous, juicy internal stem of the banana plant -- the juice extracted from this dissolves stones in kidneys, bladder, etc -- should be tazken for at least fifteen days -- a small glass each morning 8. Drumsticks, leaves and flowers are supposed to be good for a hundred and one ailments -- dried drumsticks are very good for filtering out toxic contents of water 9. Hot water with salt and haldi powder -- even better than only hot salt water -- for clearing up blocked nasal passages and relieving a sore throat 10. Warm salt water (water should have been previously boiled and ooled -- not raw Bombay municipal water) -- poured through one nostril and allowed toflow out of the other -- clears out all the accumulated pollution and also clears nasal passages blocked with cold mucus -- good specifically for people having sinusitis 11. Dishti che panna (I do not know the English equivalent) but could show the plant to you if my cousins have not destroyed it at our Nachinola house -- ground with vinegar and FENI and applied to any sprained or swollen joint -- reduces the swelling almost instantaneously 12.If you are visiting and forgot to carry a toot-brush -- take a mango leaf -- pull out the centre stem -- roll eachhalf and rub you teeth with this roll 13.If you want to sham -- try putting a raw onion in your arm-pit and sit in the sun for a while -- I have not tried this but at SMHS, Mount |Abu this was said to be effective -- you get a high fever 14. Marlon was lucky -- he sucked cod liver oil capsules -- I had to take cod liver oil straight from the bottle -- but it did give me resistance to colds and coughs at SMHS, Mount Abu -- now doctors prescribe fish oil for reducing cholesterol -- I have a permanently high cholesterol lever (triglycerides of the level of 700 and above) If I remember any more I shall add them to this list -- but all you Goans everywhere please think and put down your own memories -- maybe someone will accumulate all of them -- and we can make a fortune selling these remedies when the world's scientists reach the acme of the antibiotic and the germs continue to build resistance to these antibiotics -- we started with penicillin, then tetrcyclines, then chloramphenicol, them omnicycline, now nopflox, each more powerful than the last -- eventually we have reached a stage where we are taking a huge mallet to kill an ant and end up bashing our own toes Cheers Aloysius D'Souza =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-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?

In the first semifinal at Sour Ground on Friday 19th of this month at 8.30 A.M. Jabriya Indian School defeated Indian Central School by 3-0. From the beginning itself Jabriya started playing very aggressively in which their forwards especially Kevin on the right flank with bustling moves created lot of openings for his colleagues but due to poor marksmanship by the center forwards they failed to forge ahead. However, in the 15th minute of first half, receiving a pass from his colleague on the right flank, Kevin dribbled past two defenders and nicely fed his colleague Mahmoud Nasir in the box and Nasir without wasting a single moment hit a powerful shot into the far left corner of the net. Earlier Munif missed a nice sitter when his right footer went over the bar. In the second half ICS mounted heavy pressure on the citadel of Jabriya but with firm custodian under their bar and reliable defenders Jabriya thwarted all the clever moves initiated by ICS. In the 20th minute of this half Jabriya again mounted pressure on ICS and succeeded in increasing the tally to 2-0 thru Munif with a fine goal scored from left flank. The third and final goal was scored five minutes before the final whistle by Nasir again. This match was refereed by Eric Almeida who was assisted on the lines by Pillay and Alvaro. Before the start of the match the chief co-coordinator of the tournament Mr. Fidelis Fernandes introduced well known Indian philanthropist and great sports lover Mr. Mathews the Chairman of the JIS along with Inacio Faleiro ex president of KIFF and Mr. Amaldo the president of Curtorcares United to both the teams. The second match between Indian Community School - Kheitan and Gulf Indian School was just a drab affair in which ICS easily won the encounter by scoring 4 goals without reply. With this victory ICS qualified to compete for the third place play-off before the final at the same venue. The scorers for this match were Naveen Kumar, Nighaut Kumar, Agai Jacob and Amaldo Fernandes. This match was refereed by Joe and he was assisted on the lines by Tony and Viegas. Before the start of this match again Fidelis Fernandes introduced Mr. Cajetan Pereira The President of United Friends Circle and Mr. Thomas The Principal of New Indian School to both the participating teams. The final of this match will be played on Friday at 4.00 p.m. between The English School Fahaheel and Jabriya Indian School. Before the final at 3.00 p.m. Carmel School will play against Indian Community School for the third spot. As an added attraction on the same day and at the same venue before the beginning of both the matches and also during the intervals some athletics items will be conducted namely 100 metres dash, Shot Put and Tug of War which is going to be between GOA XI led by Justinho and REST OF INDIA XI led by Lawry Pinto. The prize distribution for the winners and runners-up and also for Basket-Ball tournament will be done immediately after the grand finale thru the hands of some of the distinguished guests and dignitaries including Mr. Sodhi the Councelor-Indian Embassy and Mr. Adeeb Shuaibher who will be attending this sports festival at Sour Ground. These activities are organized to mark the Silver Jubilee of the establishment of United Goans Centre.

Re: [Goanet] Ancestral Home Remedies
--- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Aloysius D'Souza [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: and we can make a fortune selling these remedies when the world's scientists reach the acme of the antibiotic and the germs continue to build resistance to these antibiotics -- we started with penicillin, then tetrcyclines, then chloramphenicol, them omnicycline, now nopflox, each more powerful than the last -- eventually we have reached a stage where we are taking a huge mallet to kill an ant and end up bashing our own toes. We can certainly provide a list of home remedies without disseminating gratuitous misinformation about genuinely effective modern treatments. It is important to know that most antibiotics are every bit as natural as any of the household herbal remedies. They were and are still obtained from various types of molds (fungi). All of the above-mentioned antibiotics are still widely used, and save countless lives everyday. Scientists develop new antibiotics for several reasons, all of which have the common purpose of maximizing benefit to the patient while reducing harm. A newer more powerful (whatever that means) antibiotic is not more harmful. In most cases it reduces the number of doses and the length of treatment, and thereby increases patient compliance, which in turn decreases the chances of developing resistant bacterial strains. The discovery of antibiotics and their rational use in modern treatment is a pivotal event in the history of our civilization. That single event has contributed to the increase in our life expectancy more than any other event. Home remedies and other kinds of quackery have existed since the Stone Age. All they have done realistically is provide us with some interesting (and in some cases somewhat compelling) anecdotes. They have contributed diddly-squat to human health on a global scale.

PARRIKAR: ENGINEERING ANOTHER GOA... WILL HE make it? Metallurgical engineer Manohar Parrikar, who ascended the chief ministership of Goa after defections were engineered from the other parties, offers a detailed pre-election interview. Does he have something to boast about for his 16-18 months in office? Can his claims of doing much for the state translate into votes? Did he compromise on the values he wore on his sleeve as an Opposition leader? Did he do-in his colleagues by dissolving the Goa assembly abruptly? What factors does he see as being responsible for his rise in Goan politics? Or, is he something of a Machiavelli? Is he guilty of dumping his political allies of the past? What about Parrikar's moves to build bridges with (and wield control over) Opposition legislators? Why couldn't the state nab the culprits involved in arson against a mosque at Succcour and attepting to set alight a church-door? Will Gujarat cast its long shadow on the ballot-box in Goa... one way or another? Is Parrikar in the running for chief ministership, should the BJP win? What is Parrikar's vision for Goa? What is Parrikar's style off leadership? And, for that matter, on defections -- having benefitted from them himself. Haven't plans to downsize the state's giant bureaucracy been overshadowed by the Parrikar regime's employing of another large army of bureaucrats, particularly in departments like the police, the functioning of which doesn't inspire much confidence?

Re: [Goanet] Ancestral Home Remedies
On Wed, 24 Apr 2002, santoshhelekar wrote: The discovery of antibiotics and their rational use in modern treatment is a pivotal event in the history of our civilization. That single event has contributed to the increase in our life expectancy more than any other event. Home remedies and other kinds of quackery have existed since the Stone Age. All they have done realistically is provide us with some interesting (and in some cases somewhat compelling) anecdotes. They have contributed diddly-squat to human health on a global scale. I would tend to agree with Santosh on this. Being a latecomer to this discussion, let me digress the topic a bit by offering some insight into how these home remedies differ from region to region. Being of North Indian extraction and settled in Goa, I have discovered quite a few differences in outlook when it comes to these home remedies. North Indians typically have the chapati or roti as their staple diet, while South Indians and Bengalis have rice as their staple diet. Whenever anyone is sick with fever or an upset stomach, the first things North Indians are told to avoid is rice. When it comes to South Indians and Bengalis, they take the opposite position and avoid consuming any chapatis. Food poisoning as a result of eating fish never exists in Goa, Kerala or Bengal, but for North Indians, food poisoning is *always* the result of eating fish, never mind even if the fish was eaten weeks ago. I have noticed that many North Indians avoid eating rice at night, and claim that it causes indigestion. Never seen any South Indian ever complain of that, and they eat it 24/7. For skin diseases such as rash, there is a tradition among the people of South India to use the water of boiled rice to cure it. North Indians tend to use the water of boiled Masoor Dal with a little turmeric as a cure. Once I had an extended stay in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. There I discovered that the secret to a healthy life is to have a glass of fresh camel's milk daily. For those who have not been near camel's milk - well, it stinks! In conversations with Sindhis from Pakistan, they also tend to hold that same belief. Ask any person from the UP/Delhi/Haryana area what the secret to a healthy life is, and their answer is a glass of fresh goat's milk. Then there is the French secret of healthy life - a glass of wine everyday. I don't think many in the Muslim world share that belief. Then there is the Muslim misbelief that strength comes only through eating meat, and that also, the redder it is, the stronger you get. Of course I am sure that Hindus would have appropriate generalizations as well when it comes to meat. Another misbelief prevalent in North India is that by eating rice you get lazy and fat. A common remark I have heard justifying this belief - dekha nahin tumne key bangali log kitney kaamchor hotey hain? For the North Indians, eating chapati/naan/parathas makes you hardworking and strong. To end, let me relate the best of 'em all. North Indians and Pakistanis have discovered the secret why Bangladesh has such a high growth rate in terms of population. Well, believe it or not, but it is in the fish. Apparently, because you eat fish, you tend to have more children. Go figure! -- Tariq Siddiqui [ This Space for Rent ] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-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] Suneela's Ponda School, Our Language.
We have a small cheque for the school in Ponda, they earned it by giving us Suneela !! Need address. Whilst on the subject, Ponda is also Fonda to Goans, and, depending on the mood you in, Fondya too: both mean the same thing, a lagoon, as does fonda in olde Saxon english, which brings us back to the common origin of our Indo-European tongues, to Egyptian Coptic and that narrow escape route along the Galilee that took the Kaltics ( Celtics ! ) north to Turkey. One can trace the evolution of Europe's languages as those old Nile rafters sailed up the Danube from its Turko-Moldova estuary:it's called the Dunay(doonay) there, Doonarea in Romania, Doonav in Bulgaria, Doona in Hungary, Donau in Austria. Vestido, Vestament, Vestama(sanskrit) go back to that common origin, as do denta-teeth, agni-ignite, do-dos, sete, oito,nove, dix, none of the great mass of similarity has any connection with the arrival of the Portuguese language on our coast ten thousand years later. Yes, Suneela dear, guilty again, we took Sassasta( sixty villages) and turned it to Saxxtee and Salcette, and if sesseste means the same thing on the Algarve, the coincidence is as pure as the salt from the salteiros the Phoenicians first established on the Portuguese coast. eric. __ Do You Yahoo!?

[Goanet] 2002 Goa election
2002 GOAN ELECTION. Finally the date for the election of Goa Legislative Assembly has been fixed as 30th of next month. As usual all the former Chor ani Bamtte MLAs will try to contest the coming election either on the same parties or independents or new parties. Whom the voters will elect and on what basis? In his masterpiece If I Am Asassinated written from the death cell by the former premier of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto wrote My sons will not be my sons if they dont shed the blood of those who dare to shed mine. Who are my sons? Shanawaz and Murtaza (both real sons of Bhutto) and all the sons of Pakistan are my sons. Till his death Gen. Zia who was responsible for hanging Bhutto had to face problems from the sons of Pakistan till his death in a plane crash. Based on the statement of Bhutto let me say from Kuwait in a small room where I stay My Goan voters will not be Goans voters if they dont destroy in the coming election all the defectors and Chor Bamtte MLAs who dare to destroy Goa by defecting from the elected party symbol to other parties that bribe them with huge money power and loot Goa. Who are the Goan voters? They are the real and genuine Goans who have great love for the good of Goa. If today Goa is seized by the worst communal party BJP then the major culprit is Sardinha who allowed Parrikar and his BJP key to open the door for worst communal party to rule Goa. Goa had unique distinction to be a model of communal harmony and as such communal party like BJP should not have place in Goan politics. Sardinha should be punished severely in the coming election and who will punish him? If Curtorcar voters are really Curtorcares then they will show their wisdom. It is Curtorcares who were deceived and cheated by Sardinha. Congress party should be forced to deny ticket to Sardinha to contest the coming election on its ticket. Sardinha will go down in the history of Goa as worst than Judas, it is a shame to have such a MLA in any constituency. Likewise all the defectors should be denied tickets and if they still persist and succeed in getting tickets from the same parties then people power should be used and it should be used very forcefully. It is a turn now of Demos to use their Kratia in a right way. It is not enough just to talk saying Goa is going to dogs but to avoid it further going to dogs people must rise to the occasion and throw out all the defectors and Chors and Goondas. The constituents must not allow to foist on them the candidates not of their choice. The constituents must join together to stop the political parties to foist their choices on their heads. It is time now for the constituents to stop the party bosses in Panjim and Delhi to impose their choices on people against the wishes of the people. Constituents must stop acting like ghantta boils and fight for their rights to select right candidates. Every time our MLAs fool us. Once they get elected they take full liberty of the confidence voters given them and thus they make ill use of it. One of the reasons for them to take power in their hands is there is no alertness on the part of the voters. When they defect the voters take it lying down, neither their parties come out openly to condemn and raise public awarness. I remember when first time in Goa 5 UGP MLAs defected to MGP, Jack Sequeira organized public meetings in all the 5 constituencies to condemn them and make the local constituents aware of the wrong they did for their confidence. Valent Sequeira from Calangute constituency was one of the defectors, he had a small gotie type of beard. While delivering his public speech attended by huge crowd at Calangute soccer ground, Dr. Sequeira asked where are the all the prominent people including the doctor who were telling me to give ticket to Valente Sequeira? Why they dont now go after Valente Sequeira and shake him by his beard?. Then he uttered these words to the utter astonishment of the crowd Khuim assa re to bokddeachea khaddacho tumcho Valent Sequeira? Cholat re ani dhorat re tachea khaddak ani haddat re taka hangasor. Fearing the worst, Valente Sequeira was hiding at Candolim in a secret location away from his house. But such a pressure is not coming now on our defectors because people and our voters are also become corrupt for accepting corruption. The so called social workers are also become dormant because they are also wanting to contest the elections because they feel only from the Legislative Assembly they can change the society. It is not true. By not contesting the election Mahatma Gandhi and Jayaprakash Narayan brought revolution in India. It is a turn now of real social workers and real lovers of Goa to do something to awaken the public conscience so that good and reliable people are elected. The Church must also come on fore. Because of Church silence for so long we Catholics in

[water should have been previously boiled and cooled -- not raw Bombay municipal water) -- poured through one nostril and allowed to flow out of the other -- clears out all the accumulated pollution and also clears nasal passages ] poured through one nostril and allowed to flow out of the other ? That is interesting? I wonder how this feat is accomplished. 2. [ Marlon was lucky -- he sucked cod liver oil capsules -- I had to take cod liver oil straight from the bottle -- but it did give me resistance to colds and coughs at SMHS,] This is something which the British did very well in East Africa and in The Caribbean. sell these folks the idea that Cod Liver Oil esp the Seven Seas brand somehow provided resistance against colds and coughs. I wonder how Cod Liver does that in individuals who are otherwise adequately nourished. I could understand in the malnourished kids who have deficiency of everything including Vit A D ( which cod liver oil has ). In East Africa, India, Caribbean and wherever there is sunlight, milk breadand adequate nutrition, additional Vit A D can only do one thingHypervitaminosis. If there is anything which identified East African Goans for us, it was these two items: 1. Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil 2.
