I read somewhere that a Nair youth from medieval Kerala, who had revolted against the suffocating caste system there, joined hands with the Portuguese to marry a low-caste girl with whom he had fallen in love. The ruling class put the girl to death and passed a death sentence on him in absentia. The Captain of a Portuguese ship took him to Portugal, where he rose to be an Admiral in the Portuguese Navy. Could someone confirm this incident? Maybe Dr Teotonia can throw some light on it. Cheers, RKN _ Sports, sports and more sports!

Cheers, Gabe. -- Joel's News Clips WOMEN ON TOP IN GOA'S ROAD SHOW: Hundreds of men and women have been killed during the last few decades in road accidents in Goa, specially two-wheeler mishaps, but the number of victims among women riders has been very negligible, according to traffic police sources.While 203 men and 24 women lost their lives so far this year in road accidents, none of them was a female two-wheeler rider. The 24 women victims were either pillion riders or pedestrians..It may be argued that the number of female scooterists is less. And many argue that they also disobey rules. But the fact is they ride safe. (Paul Fernandes in GT) At the risk of being labelled as prejudiced I can say with confidence that most women riders (and drivers) in Goa have very poor road sense. There are the few who can take any man for a ride but those are the exception rather than the rule. In Goa women riders will: - Park wrongly - Reverse without looking - Turn without signalling etc. True in general they drive slower then men (which is not necessarily a good thing, specially on a highway) but they more than make up for it with their total lack of knowledge about the rules of civic driving. At any time if I see a bike hesitantly weaving in front of me on the road I know that the chances are good that its either somebody whose tyre just got punctured, or more probably, a woman rider. The tight skirted variety are and even bigger danger because they can't easily place a foot on the road to stabilise their bike. And if ever you see a woman driving a car ahead of you please Keep Safe Distance if you value your life. They will brake in the middle of the road or suddenly swerve to one side or do something totally nonsensical like trying to park in an impossible place or take a wide turn where a sharp one was required (and then reverse and cause a traffic jam). My advice to any vehicle owner is to go ahead of (overtake - but keep a wide berth) a woman driver/rider who is dithering on the road unsure of where to park/ turn/ stop, or else by driving/ riding behind her you are placing your vehicle/ life/ limb at grave risk. No wonder the statistics show there are less women dying in vehicle accidents. The women are causing the accidents and the men are dying. Potholes, stray cattle, stray dogs, drunken driving - all these can someday be controlled. But who is going to control licenses being given to women who have no road sense?

"We aim to look beyond just films this year, including a film bazaar for any business opportunities that can be tapped and several other such events. Now that the Centre has formally declared Goa as the venue, all those who doubted it can now stop their tongues from wagging," Parrikar said. "We were never in any doubt that whether the festival would take place here. We were aware that the delay in the announcement was due to the election Code of Conduct during the by-poll to the Poinguinim seat," he said. Elaborating on his government's plans for IFFI, the Chief Minister said "we plan to set up plasma screens all over the state so that Goans can also be included in on the festival and be able to watch some of them. We have also hired an event management company to carry out certain aspects of planning and execution in various events." While the total budget for the festival alone was Rs 25 crore, Parrikar said other costs like roads, sprucing up of infrastructure would run into excess of Rs 50 crore. "We have asked for plan assistance from the Centre, but that proposal is still in the pipeline. Even if we don't get any funds from the Centre, we have the financial capability to pay for the event from our own pocket," he added. source:Economic times Posted by Lawrie D'souza = == Men are like steel: when they lose their temper, they lose their worth. ___ Do you Yahoo!?

[Goanet]Famous British Murder Mystery Reopened
## # 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 # ## Subject: Famous British Murder Mystery Reopened Newsgroups: alt.true-crime Date: 2004-10-17 06:55:19 PST Sunday October 17, 2004 2:31 AM http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-4556200,00.html LONDON (AP) - Detectives have reopened an investigation into one of Britain's most famous murder mysteries: the disappearance 30 years ago of the dashing Lord Lucan days after his children's nanny was bludgeoned to death and his wife beaten with a lead pipe. Debate on Lucan's fate has been a popular national pastime since he vanished, leaving behind a bloodstained car near the English coast. Some say the aristocrat drowned himself in the English Channel, others believe he fled abroad to live under an assumed identity. Now, despite a 1999 declaration by the High Court that Lucan is officially dead, Scotland Yard is reopening the case. Detectives said Saturday they plan to employ techniques not in use when the case was last reviewed 10 years ago, like DNA profiling and computer imaging. Experts already have generated an image of how Lucan might look as a 69-year-old man using ``age-progression'' software. Scotland Yard said the case is being reviewed ``just to ensure all the potential lines of inquiry have been followed and pursued, and to see if any new ones come up as a result of DNA techniques.'' It said detectives still receive regular calls from the public providing information about the case. Richard John Bingham, the Seventh Earl of Lucan, has not been seen since the night of Nov. 7, 1974, when nanny Sandra Rivett was battered to death in the family's home in London's wealthy Belgravia district. Lucan's wife, Veronica, was hit in the back of the head repeatedly when she ran downstairs to investigate. She later told police her attacker was her husband. She fully recovered from the attack. Detectives believe Lucan intended to murder his wife - his marriage has been described as ``grimly unhappy'' - and killed the nanny by mistake. Warrants for Lucan's arrest on charges of murdering Rivett and attempting to murder his wife have never been served. Lucan's friends and family have long maintained he drowned himself in the English Channel. Inside the car he left behind, police found a length of lead pipe and bloodstains matching the types of both Lucan and the nanny Sandra Rivett. But at least 70 Lucan ``sightings'' have been reported since his disappearance, in such far-flung places as Melbourne, Australia, and Johannesburg, South Africa. Some conspiracy theorists speculated Lucan might be tempted to sneak an up-close peek at his daughter's London wedding in 1998, but even the most avid watchers failed to spot him. He was declared dead the following year. There was another flurry of interest last year when a former senior Scotland Yard detective claimed pictures of a gaunt, bearded man taken in the Indian state of Goa in the early 1990s were of Lucan. Former policeman Duncan MacLaughlin claimed in his book, ``Dead Lucky,'' that Lucan lived undetected in India under the name Barry Halpin in India from 1975 until his death in 1996. Friends of Barry Halpin later came forward to insist the dead man was not Lord Lucan and was in fact a former teacher from the town of St. Helens in northern England. Another retired detective, Superintendent Alec Edwards, who was in charge of the Lucan files between 1990 and 1995, welcomed the reopening of the inquiry. ``I very much believe that Lucan is still alive,'' Edwards told the Daily Mail newspaper. ``I believe he was not the sort of man to take his own life. His actions after the incident were not consistent with someone planning to kill himself.'' Edwards said it was likely that Lucan had fled to Africa, where he had many contacts.

## # 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 # ## Death from Malaria! New tool developed on Goan cyberspace. If you can't attack the disease, Attack the messenger. :=)) Since the above does not apply to JC's post, I re-looked at what I wrote. Here it is: "Many will express their sympathy at the funeral and in academic corridors. I hope however that this sentiment translates into action to spur the government and local citizens to do something about mosquitoes and malaria. Both these problems have been solved in the civilized world. There is no reason for Goa and India to be continued to be plagued by them." Analysis: In fact, I am putting Goa and India in the civilized world category and making a positive statement that "there is no reason" they should be continued to be plagued by mosquitoes and Malaria. It appears that some GoaNetters would want to classify these places as "under-developed" world. The latter in my view is an insult to Goa ani Panaji. I think! Either I don't understand this or some are showing a herd-instinct of following Senhor RKN. Either way, this is not as important as fighting those pesky critters ani parasites and a potentially fatal illness. So here is my correction to those who think /insists the above should call Goa and India under-developed rather that uncivilized (which DOES NOT APPEAR in the original sentence). I hope this does not generate aniek round of English terminologies. Though it would be fun! I'll then have to write it in Konglish ani/ or Hinglish ani tea bhair in amchi bhas.:=)) You know, I am very good at this and do it so well. :=)) Regards,

You of course have a right to your views, but cannot fault me for a post "addressed to me among others, even thought I had not commented so far..." (ii) My post does not question the generosity or friendliness of "most Americans". My comments came to raise a counterpoint to what seemed a rather gullible (no offence meant!) perspective on what the Marines had come to Goa for, and what they did here. I found it rather odd to argue that the US military men were "welcomed as guests" or that the painting of two classrooms deserved to be so much tom-tommed about. (iii) My goal isn't to stereotype any race, but simply to say we need to be more critical in swallowing what a powerful PR machinery (the US military in this case) tells us. FN On Mon, 18 Oct 2004, Vivian D'Souza wrote: Fred's posting on this subject was addressed to me among others, even though I had not commented so far, probably to elicit a response, so here goes Yes, Fred, I am very disappointed at your comment. Most Americans are very generous and friendly. I feel certain that the Marines did what they did out of a genuine sense of service and helping out where they felt the need. Here in the USA, the Marines have sponsored the "Toys for Tots" program around Christmas time for decades. Get to know a marine on a one-to one basis and you most likely will find a genuine human being who cares about society and his fellow human beings. Let us separate the view one has of the "Ugly American" and the policies of the American government from the rank and file people of the United States, most of whom are very friendly and caring, and bewildered that many people around the world hate Americans.

You are also assuming that painting of class-rooms is a priority in Goa, and that this is what expat Goans (and "native" Goanetters) are best suited to undertake and coordinate.

Thy Americans provided a good example to native Goans and non-resident Goans by donation and service (painting two class rooms) to a school for poor in Goa. Now can we gain from all this? Can the Goans concerned about the perpetuity of caste, do a paint-job in a school which is predominant of the lower caste? Let's show our disdain for caste in Goa by doing something about it . with our hands. Can international GoaNetters at their next get-together in Goa volunteer to provide two-five days of service?

[Goanet]The Nairobi Institute Centenary Clebrations 1905 -2005
## # 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 # ## >From the Nairobi Institute website http://www.nicentenary.com/index.html The Nairobi Institute Centenary Celebrations 1905 -2005 One hundred years . the countdown begins >From Goa, a Portuguese overseas province, the bold and the beautiful came to Nairobi. Some came as adventurers while others came as fortune hunters and did what they did back home, which is play, eat, drink and be merry. In 1890, they formed the Portuguese Cricket Club, which was the birth cell of the Goan Institute. Since culture is a critical factor in the development of any society, they needed an anchoring point and an identity so as to instil a sense of belonging, direction and purpose. On the 11th of June 1905, so as to capture that spirit and identity, they convened a general meeting and re-designated themselves as 'THE GOAN INSTITUTE NAIROBI' affectionately known as the 'GI.' Dr. Ribeiro was its first President. Mr. Leandro D'Mello laid the foundation stone of the first GI club house situated on Ronald Ngala Street formally known as Duke Street courtesy of the colonial government. In those days, the Institute was one of the few stone structures in Nairobi and served as a focal point for Goan social and sporting activities up to 1955 when the Golden Jubilee was celebrated in those hallowed premises. The idea of erecting the present building to Juja Road, that was within close proximity to Eastleigh, Pangani, Ngara and Parklands where there was a huge concentration Goans was proposed in 1946 by Romeo Fernandes. The property on Duke Street was sold to East African Breweries and the proceeds of sale as well as the fund raising efforts of the members contributed to the construction of the present clubhouse. The foundation stone of the new Goan Institute was laid in September 1955 by Sir Evelyn Baring, Governor of Kenya who later opened the building on the 11th of June 1957. An indoor badminton court was added in 1965 and bar and kitchen extensions were carried out in 1972. The Institute has continued to make progress over the years and in 1979 two squash courts were built. A beer garden and children's play area was constructed in 1984 and in 1985 a Roll of Honour plaque incorporating the names of Trustees since formation was unveiled. 2002 saw the refurbishing of the lounge, card room, children's play park and play room. The Goan Institute has served social, literary, dramatic and sporting needs of its members. It was the nursery for outstanding sportsmen and women who ushered Kenya on to the world-sporting scene. At least on one occasion more than half the Kenya hockey team comprised of the GI players. Its hockey team was the first winner of the M.R.D'Souza Gold Cup, the blue riband of club hockey in East Africa. Our current hockey team endeavours to achieve the same in the year 2005. In 1981 the Goan institute heeded the call for eradication of ethnic names and was christened the NAIROBI INSTITUTE. Although the GOAN INSTITUTE was basically an exclusive Goan cultural enterprise it is worth noting that today, the club is a multi-cultural Institution. Those from the hills of Hindustan, those from the plains of Pakistan; those from the slopes of Mount Kenya and those from the shores of Lake Victoria are all seated at the table of brotherhood and sisterhood with shared friendship and laughter and all because of those who came FROM GOA WITH LOVE.

[Goanet]Nostalgic Memories of Oldies Tunes
## # 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 # ## Thanx Silviano, Melinda n Francisco ! You sure "flashed" some nostalgic memories or as our goanetter and my fellow goan Tanzanian - Viv would say "taking me down memory lane" And if I appendage Francisco, music transcends all barriers and has been a unifying factor in bringing people of diverse cultures together. But none could have summed it up better than the great William Shakespeare and I quote " If music be the food of love, then lets play on." On a lighter one, even though I am great lover of progressive jazz, black african music,fast rock and konkani music, I sternly believe that all the popular oldies are like the great classical number - the "Blue Danube"- they will be "never die". Silviano,with your permission, I'll take it in numerical sequence. 1) Add Cliff Richard's Bachelor Boy and the Next Time. 2)Nina and Frederick's Listen To The Ocean". 3) Pat Boone's "Speedy Gonzalez" and "Don't Forbid Me". 4)Come September - Silviano, that was my father's favorite in addition to "Wheels" Cha Cha Cha which you can add as another instrumental. I made it a point to get a special tape recorded with both these songs and some other songs by Connie Francis which my father and mother liked- including "My Happiness" and "Lipstick On Your Collar". 5) Baby Elephant Walk by the late Henry Mancini on Radio Ceylon. Since we could not get proper radio transmission in the fifties in my hometown- Iringa in southern Tanzania, we used to tune to Radio Ceylon and Radio Lourenco Marques (renamed Maputo) which were then probably the finest musical stations in the Third World. Baby Elephant walk is the theme song from the movie - "Hatari" (Danger in Swahili) which was filmed in Northern Tanzania. It featured the late American actors- John Wayne and Red Buttons, the German actor- Hardy Kruger and the actress-Elsa Martinelli. 9)How about Marie Lou and Someday by Ricky Nelson. Melinda, you cited Wooden Heart by Elvis Presley from the movie- GI BLue " featuring Elvis and the American actress and noted ballroom dancer and judge- Juliet Prowse. This song is a regular at all our "sing along" sessions in New York and New Jersey, and many of the folks love my version as I "throw" in two verses in my "broken" german. (the movie was filmed in the then West Germany). In addition to Perry Como's "Catch a Falling Star", he had another great oldie- please refresh my memory. Other oldies that I would like to add are "Sealed With a Kiss" and a couple of songs dealing with the color Blue- "Blue Moon", "Blueberry Hill" by Fats Domino and "Blue, Blue You're Love Is True". I look forward to some more additions. rgds. Tony.
