When his father has his motorcycle stolen, adding to his misery and leaving him unable to find work, Jaime tries to step up into an adult role and provide for the family. Portugal's child labor laws are not quite as sympathetic to the family's plight, but even at his young age Jaime has little respect for the regulations of a country whose failure to provide work for his father will result in the breakup of his family. A typical teenager, Jaime contends there is very little that is 'fair' in this world, but that does not mean he is willing to accept a life that, without his family together and happy, makes very little sense. Awards: Jury Prize at the San Sebastian Film Fest Debut feature award at Cannes. The post film discussion will be initiated by Nalini Elvino de Sousa of Communicare, Porvorim and the film has been made available courtesy Fundação Oriente. --- We deeply regret that due to strict limitations imposed by law we are forced to restrict screening for Members only.

[Goanet]E. Sreedharan: Sky Bus 30-40 per cent costlier than Metro Rail (Hindu)
## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## "Asked whether he doubted "sabotage," Mr. Rajaram said it would be known after the police investigation." : Sabotage?! Any other possible excuse for a clear failure? Where is responsibility? We will prove Sky Bus system is infallible: Rajaram THE HINDU http://www.hindu.com/2004/09/28/stories/2004092804991300.htm By Anil Sastry PANAJI, SEPT. 27. As Saturday's Sky Bus accident claiming one life in Margao in Goa seems to have given one more weapon to its critics, the Konkan Railway Corporation's Managing Director, B. Rajaram, who invented the new technology, says he is motivated to prove that the Metro is "infallible." The Sky Bus Metro is under attack, primarily on safety. Even the Konkan Railway's former chief, E. Sreedharan, who now heads the Delhi Metro, had said that the technology was not a proven system. Speaking on "Delhi Metro changing the way of life in the city," at the French Embassy in New Delhi on September 16, he said the Sky Bus was 30-40 per cent costlier than the Metro Rail. It was also one-fourth less effective than the Metro. `Not based on facts' Reacting to this, Mr. Rajaram said the comments were not based on facts and that "the only proven system is the bullock cart." While Delhi Metro cost Rs. 120 crores a km for elevated metro and Rs. 250-300 crores for underground metro, the Sky Bus tally was Rs. 50 crores. Mr. Rajaram told The Hindu that his mission was to see that the auto-correcting system worked at its best in running the bus. Gaining high speed was not a concern, but stopping of the bus needed control. He pointed out that there was no derailment of coaches and the death occurred due to a fall from the coach. Ultimately, he was accountable for everything, he added. Area unprotected Asked whether he doubted "sabotage," Mr. Rajaram said it would be known after the police investigation. Police register case The Margao police have registered a case of "rash and negligent act" causing injury and death against two personnel. _ Tired of spam?

[Goanet]Pioneer: Goa hopes IFFI will draw more tourists this year
## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## "We will be providing low rate accommodation for tourists in the form of tents," stated Pramod Shetye, managing director, Goa Tourism Development Corporation "It (GTDC) has also sought help from schools to make available their classrooms that could be turned into temporary accommodation for low budget tourists" And Government officials still insist upon the idea that Goa has a strategic plan to explore its (vanisihing) tourism potential? When TENTS are put up and SCHOOLS given away to house "low budget tourists" can we still identify something beneficial to Goans and the development of Goa, the preservation of its ecosystem, curbing unemployment rate etc.? I think this is hilarious. But perhaps I am looking at it from a wrong perspective? Is this perhaps part of some long-term plan to boost Goa as a global tourism destination? Constantino --- Goa hopes IFFI will draw more tourists this year http://www.dailypioneer.com/indexn12.asp?main_variable=STATES&file_name=state6%2Etxt&counter_img=6 Rupesh Samant/ Panaji Goa expects four lakh more tourists to visit the State this year. The rise is being attributed to two major events - exposition of St Xavier's relics and the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) - lined up for the year end. This tourist State, which had 20 lakh tourists visiting it last year, is geared up to service this massive surge in tourist numbers. Aware of the pressure on the infrastructure that is likely to build up in November and December, the State Government has decided to put the machinery in place well before time. "We will be providing low rate accommodation for tourists in the form of tents," stated Pramod Shetye, managing director, Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC). The Corporation has decided to put up tents at Old Goa, site for the exposition situated nine kms from Capital city of Panaji. It has also sought help from schools to make available their classrooms that could be turned into temporary accommodation for low budget tourists. The State Government has decided to upgrade all its accommodations. "We will offer red carpet welcome to the tourists. We don't differentiate between foreign and domestic tourists," said Tourism Minister Mathany Saldanha. The Minister is optimistic about receiving around 24 lakh tourists this season starting October 16. This tiny State witnesses a growth of 80 to 85 per cent in domestic tourist inflow while the increase in foreign tourists is pegged at 15 to 20 per cent. Besides visitors from Maharashtra and Karnataka, Goa is becoming a favourite holiday destination for visitors from Gujarat, West Bengal and Delhi. Banking on an expected good business, the GTDC has declared a hike in its hotel tariff by 20 per cent between December 20, 2004 to January 3, 2005. "We are increasing our tariff for limited period. We compliment the hike with better service," said Mr Shetye. For Goa, hopes are pinned on foreign tourist arrivals. The State had 2,60,071 non-chartered foreign tourists in 2001; the number rose to 2,71,645 in 2002 and 3,14,357 in 2003. In 2001, 279 charter flights arrived bringing in 76,410 foreign visitors, the number went up to 384 in 2002 carrying 94,350 tourists to Goa. Last year, 532 charters arrived carrying 1,26,252 tourists to the State. The tour operators feel providing better infrastructure and entertainment facilities would add to the sustainability of Goa's image. Says Gaurish Dhond, secretary, Travel and Tours Association Goa (TTAG), "Facilities like water sports, better infrastructure are must to ensure enjoyable holidaying for visitors." As Goa has changed its image from a foreign tourist destination to a 365-day holiday spot for domestic tourists as well, the rising numbers has certainly put severe pressure on the State's infrastructure. * Goa @ http://www.supergoa.com/ _ Tired of spam?

The Indian under-19 footballers, included in the tournament following the late withdrawal of Turkmenistan, took the lead at the half hour mark through striker Vimal Pariyar. But the Indians failed to make good of the advantage, as defender Safir Al Atasi equalised for Syria ten minutes into the second half before Abdul Al Razak Al Housain scored the winner for the 1994 champions in the 77th minute. India's best performance in the AFC Youth Championship came three decades ago, when they shared the title with Iran in Thailand in 1974. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan hammered lowly-rated Laos 5-2 in another match in the same group. The top two teams from each of the four groups advance to knock-out stage, which will commence with the quarter-finals. The top four teams in the competition will qualify for the FIFA World Youth Championship, to be held in the Netherlands next year. Korea are the defending champions.

[Goanet]Hockey: India rout Pakistan in second Test
## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## India rout Pakistan in second Test Last Updated: September 27, 2004 19:28 IST India beat Pakistan 4-1 in the second hockey Test to square the four-match series 1-1 in Quetta on Monday. India had lost the first match 1-2. The victory was India first over Pakistan in eight matches. Penalty-corner ace Sandeep Singh put the Indians two goals up, scoring in the 13th and 17th minutes before Ignace Tirkey increased the tally in the 33rd minute. Tushar Khandekar made it 4-0 in the 60th minute before Sohail Abbas reduced the margin for the Pakistanis a minute from the hooter, scoring from the team's fifth penalty-corner. India seemed under a lot of pressure when the match started at the Gen. Musa Stadium, hosting a major tie after a long time, but they got into a rhythm as the match progressed. But more than India's brilliance, it was the waywardness of the Pakistanis that led to their shock defeat. The Indians got themselves into a position of strength in the first half itself when Sandeep Singh scored two goals in a span of three minutes, both coming from penalty-corners, before Ignace Tirkey hammered home for a 3-0 lead. Sandeep, who had a tremendous outing in the junior Asia Cup, where he was the tournament top scorer, brought an end to a lean patch at the highest level with the twin strikes, outwitting Pakistani goalkeeper Salman Akbar on both occasions. The youngster from Haryana, expected to fill in the shoes of expert drag flicker Jugraj Singh, scored from the first two penalty corners the side got in the first 17 minutes. Akbar, who was expecting high flicks from Sandeep on both the occasions, was foxed when the Indian beat him with clever carpet flicks, much to the delight of the visitors. Pakistan looked like staging a fightback briefly when they made some dangerous moves from both the wings and in the process earned a couple of penalty-corners in the 23rd and 30th minutes. But the hosts' hopes of reducing the margin came to naught after goalkeeper Adrian D'Souza charged out to effect fine saves on both the occasions -- first from a variation and again from a powerful drag-flick from Sohail Abbas, the world's second highest goal scorer behind Holland's Paul Litjens. The Indians made life difficult for the Pakistanis further when Ignace scored in the 33rd minute from a fine counter move. Vivek Gupta's hit into the Pakistan circle was well stopped by Arjun Halappa, whose reverse pass was used to the maximum effect by Igance, who unleashed a rasping hit that beat Akbar all ends up. The proceedings were marked by some end-to-end hockey in the second half as Pakistan pressed hard to make inroads into the Indian defence. The visitors suffered a jolt when key midfielder Viren Rasquinha was temporarily suspended for an infringement in the 55th minute. However, Pakistan failed to take advantage of a 10-man team even though they managed to win two penalty-corners. But Dilwar Hussain was unable to stop Rehan Butt's pushes from the set-pieces. Young forward Khandekar, who had an outstanding game today, deservedly hit the last nail in Pakistan's coffin with a goal in the 60th minute to seal the fate of the match. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## Mahatma in South Africa top 10 list September 28, 2004 10:46 IST Mahatma Gandhi has been chosen as one of the 'top ten South Africans' along with former President Nelson Mandela, by the country's national broadcaster. In rankings released by the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) after an national campaign, Gandhi figured in the list of 100 for his campaign against apartheid. During his stay in South Africa, Gandhi had organised protest marches against racial discrimination; established the Phoenix Settlement in Durban to promote his philosophy of satyagraha and formed the Natal Indian Congress. Mandela, who was the country's first President after the democratic elections of 1994, was chosen as the country's number one great South African in the list. In addition to Gandhi and Mandela, the others in the top ten bracket are President Thabo Mbeki, heart surgeon Chris Barnard; former President F W. de Klerk; former ANC women's leader Winnie Madikizela-Mandela; AIDs activist Xolani Nkosi Johnson; former white Prime Minister Jan Smuts; religious leader and activist Archbishop Desmond Tutu; and golfer Gary Player. The list of 100 included many anti-apartheid activists as well as controversial figures such as right-wing leader, Eugene Terblanche; Paul Kruger; and JB Hertzog. The rankings were arrived at after an intensive nation-wide campaign by SABC in which South Africans were asked to nominate their greatest South Africans of all time by phone, sms or through the SABC 3 website. The names of more than 2000 candidates from all walks of life were suggested. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and apprehensive. Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise. The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off. Or. . did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down? She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read: Congratulations, darling! I knew youd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you. Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket. Picking it off the floor, she read: Dont worry darling about not getting the raise! You deserve it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you. Someone had said that the measure of love is when you love without measure. What this man feels for his spouse is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her victories and soothes her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction. He may say that he loves her to death. But he doesnt. He loves her to LIFE. For his love nourishes her life like nothing else can. Let us care and share love with each other!

## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## Gabriel, Many thanks for your considered response. However, with respect, nay with very great respect, I want to say that I had been hopeful for a more persuasive reply, to my specific point as to why it was wrong for the Indians to invade Goa in 1961 in the quest to get back from the Portuguese, the previously conquered territory of Goa, when Portugal was not prepared to return the territory peacefully. To say that it was wrong of India to take Goa by force in 1961 because of prevailing UN protocols is a pretty lightweight argument in my view. The relatively new protocols on decolonisation were not binding at the time. They were purely advisory as I can tell from my reading of International Relations and Public Affairs, and even when many years later, such protocols have taken on a firmer nature, they have not been adhered to in lots of cases--Israel is but one example. On my point about the need for Portugal to return ill-gotten goods, I was referring to the land of Goa and its many peoples and everything else therein which the Portuguese had 'taken' by force. I have to say that Portugal proved to be totally inflexible about the return of colonised countries when UN protocols were also 'requiring' the return of colonised territories. Portugal was thus the prime non-mover on this critical issue and in drawing upon the absurdity that Goa was part and parcel of Portugal, it forced the Indians to act for the better on Goa in my opinion. I am particularly mindful that around 1961, Portugal was a totally bankrupt nation, and yet, the Portuguese were kicking Goan ass (as the Americans would say) in one way, and presenting a thoroughly false ideological picture of itself to our humble Goans in their hegemonic role in Goa. Please note that I personally experienced Portuguese brutality and saw plenty of it exacted on peaceful fellow Goans too. I therefore could not wait a day longer than 19th December 1961 to truly celebrate the expulsion of the Portuguese from Goa. But I will add that, had they emulated the British in India in 1947, an old European ally, they would undoubtedly have gained some respect from many Goans, including me, to this day. Further, if there were a plebiscite, I believe that Goa would pretty definitely go for incorporation into India because of the large Hindu population in Goa and because of support from many Christian Goans who had infinitely more sense than the Portuguese ever had over such matters. I would not condone Indian action in 1961 except as a measure of last resort in the circumstances, and pure exasperation with the recalitrant and obdurate Portuguese. And now to take our discussion a little further from where we started, whether the Goans could have obtained and sustained a measure of 'independence' instead of total incorporation following the departure of the Portuguese, sadly, Portugal had simply blocked all reasoned requests from the Goans for greater democracy in Goa itself. Instead, they just brutalised and incarcerated people for seeking their basic human and political rights. On this point too, I believe that, on the whole, the Christian Goans are an incredibly divided people for complex reasons which need sociological analyses. Sadly, as a people, we are largely a collection of rugged individuals, wherever we are, rather than a cohesive organic community who might have been able to stand up united, as say, the Singaporeans or some other small countries. If there is disbelief on this point, we only need to witness the incessant historical infighting among ourselves, at Goan clubs, churches, schools and of course on Goanet!! We seem to seek fellow Goans just to put the boot in, whenever possible, but of course this can change once we recognise our many shortcomings on this score and start responding, without being personal, but with civility to fellow Goans, especially when we disagree with them! Finally, the only example I received on my second question on what Portugugal did, if anything, of benefit to Goa, I was told that it had generated a good sanitation system in Panjim. I was glad to learn about this and very much hope there will be more examples.

## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## Hi Bernado, Thanks for your post addressed to me. You sound so much more rational when you explain yourself in a short paragraph rather than a one-liner. As you know, I am comparatively new to cyber-Goa and do not carry the burden of past information or controversy. I read what I see! The fact that a scientist (historian) has changed his/her views as new information is available is commendable and praiseworthy. So personally I would not hold that against the historian. Or was the posts one Goan against another Goan? The present series of FACTUAL write-ups on Goan history pre-1961 and the role of Goans in that period are to me very refreshing. If you (or anyone) have any more specifics to add, you are welcome to add your research (not one liner). This especially applies to references I often see of Goans with big titles and / or 'elected' to Portuguese parliament like Dr. Froilano de Melo and others. However my impression is there were never any elections held in Goa. So you see I stand to be enlightened and corrected. It is my understanding that Dr. De Melo rubbed Salazar et al the wrong way for seeking greater civil rights for Goans and its independence. So perhaps Dr. De Melo was 'eliminated' from Goa by advancing/ appointing him to parliament in Lisbon as Goa's representative. Then he was likely further 'promoted' to exile in Brazil in 1951. This is the price of being colonized. It is interesting that the same group of Luso-Goans that admire and hail Dr. De Melo ALSO admire and hail 20th century Portugal and Salazar. If GoaNetters are reading this and are confused, please join the crowd! Ami Goenkars murree!!! :=)) Oscar Noronha puzzles me. He denigrates the historian for his anti-Portuguese bias. But if my memory serves me right, his stand (from his posts) was and continues to be supportive of the actions of Nehru in 1961. Also Oscar denounces the Portuguese regime for the suffering of Goans pre-1961. So is Oscar being, "If I cannot do it (research and present Goan history) I will make sure another Goan will not do it either"? I am still waiting to see all (and your) responses to Helga. Regards

A few years back, I was involved in designing and developing a new system to control train traffic for a certain railroad company on the east coast. The software that makes the decisions on putting different trains on various tracks had to be full proof to avoid collisions. Only people who do this kind of stuff would understand, how much planning and testing one has to do to avoid jeopardizing lives. This testing in Goa, should have occured in the design room itself, even before cutting the first metal sheet to build the vehicle. Had they done that, the flaw in the design would have come to light. In the west, they care for life more ...

TENSION IN SANGUEM: Death of an injured youth, following the alleged negligence by the doctor and nurse at the health centre, brought Sanguem to a boil on September 28, with irate villagers damaging the Sanguem Primary Health Centre after the medical officer and the staff nurse on duty refused to accompany an injured man - Sameer Naik (39) - to the GMC on September 27 night. The incident occurred during the Ganesh idol immersion at Sangampur river bank when 30-year-old Sameer Naik accidentally fell down from a height of 12 feet resulting in serious head injuries. (GT) "NO NEGLIGENCE": Health Minister Dr Suresh Amonkar stated that there has been no negligence by Primary Health Centre Sanguem staff in treating the patient (Sameer Naik) on Monday night. (GT) SANGUEM BANDH: The Sanguem villagers have called a Sanguem Bandh today (September 28) demanding action against staff of the Sanguem primary health centre, where the youth (Sameer Naik) was admitted. (NT) UGDP HEADING FOR A SPLIT? Political tremors hit the United Goans Democratic Party over the action by senior vice-president Radharao Gracias to address the meeting of BJP candidate Isidore Fernandes in Poinguinim. The party leadership has decided to take action against Gracias for what they called "indiscipline" committed by the senior leader. Party Secretary General, Anacleto Viegas, said he does not rule out a split in the party over Radharao's action. (H) "I ADDRESSED MEET AS LAWYER": UGDP leader Radharao Gracias has maintained that he has addressed Isidore's meeting in his capacity as a lawyer. Speaking to Herald, Gracias in his characteristic style said, "I am a lawyer. My services are available whenever they are sought for." (H) TRAFFIC DIVERSION: The District Magistrate, North Goa, has ordered the closure of the stretch of DB Bandodkar Marg from office of the Captain of Ports to opposite the statue of DB Bandodkar, near Secretariat, for vehicular traffic proceeding to Panaji Bus Stand between 9.30 and 7 pm till 16 October, 2004, to take up the work of river bank protection.

(H) CHILDREN'S ACT: More than a year after the formulation of Goa Children's Act, the government is only now waking up to correct the drawbacks and loopholes of the Act, that has been touted as a showpiece legislation and a bold move by the government of Goa. The government has been late in realising that the instrument by which it plans to curb abuses of young children, is blunt and can be challenged by any accused booked under it.

Thanks for your prompt reply to my mail in not posting my childrens birthday on the net. How I wished you would understand our feelings anyway I would still appreciate if you would send the birthday wishes on the net as Belated wishes. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. Thanks very much Virginia
