Bovines are often not purchased, but records show it is owned by the dairy farmer. When bankers go for site inspection, the farmer claims his bovine has gone for grazing and cannot ascertain when it will return. Months later, the farmer claims his bovine has died and the 'fixed' doctor does the rest. (Freddy Rebello, in Herald) Four teenagers died on Saturday, two from Dehra Dun died off Arossim beach, and another two off Palolem. The latter two were from Ponda. (H) o Marine life under threat in Goa: Goa's territorial waters are showing signs of an increase in anoxia (oxygen depletion), which can have an adverse effect on the state's marine life, says research findings of the National Institute of Oceanography.(H) o Ravi Naik's supporters had a luncheon meet, and even tried to rope in education minister Luizinho Faleiro, to throw his weight behind the oust-Rane campaign, initiated by the GPCC president (Naik). GT In Honda village, Sattari, the home of a major bus building factory, villagers demanded at a recent gram sabha meeting that the number of migrants working in the area be restricted. Those who have lived here for more than 10 years may stay; even many of them have married with the locals. However, we are against any more of them coming here, we demand that our own villagers be employed, panchayat member Vishwajeet Rane said. Nearly 1000 Biharis, mostly working in factories as labourers, have been driven out of the village. Rane told GT that the locals are agitated by the bias shown by managements of factories to recruit Biharis. The migrants are ready to work for less wages, even Rs 40 per day. This has resulted in a large number of our local youth being unemployed, he said. (Andrew Pereira in the Gomantak Times) Assagao's new Saturday Nite Bazaar is coming up on a bed of deceipt, writes GT/Weekender. The Assagao panchayat, sections of the comunidade and the local MLA have violated notifications and forest laws, it writes. The principle is simple. The highest bidder wins, comments GT-Weekender. It tracks the robbery that no police station will ever report. (GT/W_) o Film Awards: Dynesh Moghe's Kantteantlem Ful won the best film award award for 2005 at the third Goa state film festival, and also bagged either other film awards. Local film-makers wore black badges, silenting observing a sit-in protest outside the venue, condemning the state government for not releasing financial aid for the production of Konkani films. (NT) Film-makers meanwhile turned their ire against Director of Information Menino Peres, for misutilisation of public money in the recently-held film festival.

By K.G. Kumar AMONG its developmental virtues, Kerala is renowned for the status it accords to its workers, treating them in a manner that few other States do, motivated in large part, no doubt, by its own history of working-class struggles for a fair and decent livelihood. Thus the State Governments official labour policy reiterates the concerns of this government for the welfare and protection of labour. By seeking to empower them and improve their quality of life, the policy goes on to add, Government is also committed to providing labour market security, income security and decent working conditions for the working population. That, unfortunately, was not the experience of the migrant workers from Bihar who were admitted to the General Hospital in the State's capital last week, hungry to the point of starvation, and feverish with suspected malaria and dengue. Two of the migrant workers - engaged in rebuilding the capital city's roads, employed by an outside company - subsequently died.

Mr Murthy summed up by saying to ET later, Cognizant is a $850m company, is probably the fastest-growing company in the IT sector and has established a tremendous brand equity in the United States and other developed markets. In fact, on parameters like profitability, brand equity outside India, turnover, number of jobs created and governance, Cognizant and its founders are clearly the best of the lot.

-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- View From The Outer Harbour By: Thalmann Pradeep Pereira DISTANT DRUMS Today we present the 25th article of this column. Time indeed flies. But it has been a voyage of self-discovery to scan the news, locate events that have some relevance to the trend of the times, and then to try and distil out an essence that can be presented to the reader. Just as Birthdays only remind us that we are nearer to the grave, Jubilees also have the same humbling effect. Nothing in this world is eternal. Everything is subject to the Law of Change: things come into being, things exist, and things perish. And yet, amidst this endless re-enactment of the same cycle, we, as human beings, even while being subject to the same Law of Change, strive for constant improvement and excellence. We may succeed or we may fail. But just as in sports, it is not winning or losing that is important. It is the participation that is important. So also, in the struggle that is Life, it is the participation in the battle for Progress, which is all- important. It is this participation that marks out ones contribution to the Human Enterprise. It is the record of this Collective Participation that constitutes Human History. It is with this perspective that on 7th November, we observe the 88th Anniversary of the Russian Revolution of 1917. That Revolution took place on 25th October, 1917, according to the Julian calendar that was then being followed in Russia. Hence the Revolution is also called the October Revolution. With the subsequent change-over to the Gregorian calendar, the Anniversary came to be observed on 7th November. The Russian Revolution of 1917 went down in history as the first successful instance of the toiling masses taking their destiny into their own hands and re-shaping it. The theory of Communism developed by the German duo of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels was successfully applied to the Russian ground-realities by Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. The creation of the Soviet Union as a powerful country was possible only because of the unmatched heroism and untold sacrifices of ordinary men and women. The reasons for the collapse of that experiment in 1991 are a matter for deep and studied thought. But nevertheless, every subsequent social change after 1917 has come to be measured against the exacting standards of change and progress set by the Bolsheviks. Today, when we question the fruits of 15th August 1947 or of 19th December 1961, we have those same exacting standards in the back of our minds. Without for a moment belittling the toils and sacrifices of the countless Indian and Goan Heroes and Heroines, whether young or old, of the yester-years or of the present generation, in building up a modern India and Goa, we require to be critical and self-critical in order to correctly imbibe the Lessons of History, to find out where we were deficient. This weekly column View From The Outer Harbour has this definite stated objective. Collective Memory may be short. But Collective Public Experience has a near-genetic quality to it, which Indian politicians can ignore only at their own peril. Just about 18 months ago, the demagogues who sought to hoodwink the masses with their India Shining campaign, were rudely awakened to the bitter truth of the sorry plight of the masses. Many bye-elections and State Assembly elections in the intermediate period till date have only underscored that same powerful political message dropped into the ballot box by the ordinary semi-literate Indian. The results of the just-concluded Municipal Elections in Goa, also convey the same message that the people are no longer willing to be taken for granted. It however needs to be emphatically recorded that mere Dreams and Visions cannot bring about Social Transformation. For that, there has to be a concrete study of the concrete realities on the touch-stone of a framework of change having some abiding relevance. The problem in Goa is that our self-proclaimed Men of the Masses and their Social Movements lack that much-needed characteristic of an over-arching Framework of Change. That is the reason why they end up in a mould not much different from the run-of-the-mill Congress or BJP leaders with their self-centred personality-based political activities, in which the actual toiling
[Goanet] Assagaokars needs not assuaged, yet.
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- Assagao, a sleepy village between Mhapsa and Anjuna Beach, suddenly woke up to the glare of the Papparazi, tourism throes and social upheaval...all for the sake of a Saturday Night's dream! The Saturday Night Bazzar [SNB] has become the buzz. Sweet dreams to some, a nightmare to others. There is a constant shift between dreams and nightmares, too. The Ingo's SNB was for long held in Arpora. I have been there quite a few times and even interacted with its promoter, Ingo Grill. I was editing a travel tabloid the whole of last tourist season. Depending on one's perspective one can enjoy the SNB like a fable. A fable has a superficial, simple story that one can enjoy even as a child and a deeper meaning that only age and experience can help one to understand and appreciate. I have no sermon to preach to the world. The story so far: 1. Ingo successfully runs a SNB at Arpora for many years. Problems increase with popularity. Traffic jams, increasing demands. Ingo's plan to start Paintball in 2004 at Arpora stalled for various logistical reasons. 2. Freddy Fernandes applies to the Communidade of Assagao for permission ot conduct SNB on 10,000 sq.m of Communidade land in survey No99 and 110 for 6 months for Rs.6.0 lakhs as rent. Land listed as private forest but hired vide Communidade letter dated 19 June, 2005, subject to Freddy getting the necessary permissions and complying with the rules. The communidade stands to gain Rs.6.0 lakhs even if the land is not used for SNB. It is within the agreement. 3.Application made to Panchayat of Assagao . Gram Sabha [ Village Council of voters] held on 09 and 30 mOctober, 2005 end in stalemate. Fresh Gram Sabha meeting on 06 November, 2005. *When specifically questioned What is your stand on SNB as sarpanch? the Sarpanch Mr. victor D'Souza replies, In my personal opinion, I would say NO When similarly questioned, Panchayat member Thomas D'Souza says, I am with the sarpanch in this opinion. I am also against the SNB in Assagao. Thereafter the Sarpanch adds, However, as Sarpanch I am with the view of the majority in the village. Panchayat Member Mr.Jalinder Gaokar is more forthright, I am in favour of the SNB as it will provide employment to the local youth and tourist taxi owners. * Villager and former Deputy Director of Accounts [Fazenda], Rodney D'Souza said that the Village Panchayat was responsible for the division amongst the people of Assagao. It should resolve the issue as needed. *Another villager, Eknath, questioned why there was an issue of foreigners now and not when houses in Assagao were being rented or even sold to foreigners in the past. *Ex-Panchayat member [and husband of the current Panchayat member],Pradip Naik asked the people to provide jobs for the local youth as an alternative to SNB. The meeting was ably conducted by the Sarpanch in a dignified manner with proper decorum. One may accuse him of being manipulative but must grant it that it was conducted with decorum. Some of the persons who spearheaded the opposition were conspicuous by their silence, though present in the Gram Sabha.Others heckled the speakers, often needlessly. For some unknown reason , some of the leaders wanted the villagers to boycott the ballot after the Sarpanch agreed to voting by secret ballot instead of show of hands. The electoral roll was the reference for eligibility of a voter in this village referundum. Prominent among the persons who gave the boycott call was,quite surprisingly, Adv.Shanti Fonseca. She is both, a child and women's rights activist in her own right , and the wife of AITUC leader Christopher Fonseca, residing in Assagao. Those who listened to her and others who left the venue without casting their vote will rue their decision. The day was carried by the supporters of SNB 173 votes to 132 votes with 20 votes declared invalid among the 325 votes cast. The representative of the Block Development Officer-Bardez was present but kept a low profile. However, there will be some explaining to do as to how 325 votes were cast when there were less persons present for the Gram Sabha...and some of them had walked away without casting their votes. There seems to be some inflow of persons for the voting AFTER the register was signed and the discussions were ended. The statistics, however, need to be verified. I could be wrong. Something could be terribly wrong. It needs a good look again. In fact, the whole issue needs to be looked at with a cool

-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- Re: UDAY BHEMBRE's ROAD MAP TO HELL by Godfrey Gonsalves Part IV A friend has pointed to a couple of typing errors in Part I of this chain. The corrected statements are: (1) The books in Roman script were used by the missionaries upto 1684 (rpt. 1684 NOT 1984) when Konkani was banned even from being spoken. (2) It is also relevant to point out here that no native Goan anywhere ever published any Konkani literary work in the Roman script before 1890 (rpt. 1890 NOT 1990). The errors and consequent trouble to goanet readers are deeply regretted. Now, let us move on to Godfreys Road Map to Hell. 4. Godfrey makes the following statements: (a) way back in 1981 when he was almost a non entity in Goas political and social circles, he (Bhembre) put his signature and unanimously at that, to a document that destroyed the future of Konkani in Roman script. (b) but cleverly leaving out a vital document relating to a major decision on 21.11.1981 taken by him and others where the concept of Konkani only in Devanagari script was given the stamp of recognition by the highest linguistic and literary body the National Academy of Letters viz the Sahitya Akademi New Delhi. (c) therefore a decision to recognize Konkani only in Devanagari script could not have been taken by Mr Uday Laximikant Bhembre and the others without the mandate of the people or the adoption of such a resolution by the Cabinet. (d) Mr Bhembre needs to be put to strict proof as to who authorized him to decide for the Konkani speaking people of Goa for that matter of other regions as well. The writer displays not only crass ignorance but also a lack of minimal common sense. How does ONE INDIVIDUAL put his signature to a document UNANIMOUSLY? A decision is called UNANIMOUS only when everyone from among those authorized to take it, and physically present, votes for it. Even if merely one out of one hundred opposes it, that resolution is NOT said to be passed UNANIMOUSLY. Similarly, when ALL the members of the Advisory Board signed the recommendation to adopt Devanagari as the recognized script for Konkani and NONE OF THEM RECOMMENDED OTHERWISE, it became a unanimous recommendation. Each member signed it in his individual capacity, according to his own considered opinion, and cannot be said to be responsible for the signature of others. So, how can you question Bhembre about the action of the other nine? Obviously, the other nine, INDIVIDUALLY, were of the same opinion. The question that weighed on the minds of each of them at that point in time was what course would be the best for the development of the language; for that exactly was their main responsibility and concern. Moreover, they must have taken into consideration the UNANIMOUS resolutions which had been passed in this regard at ALL the previous sessions of the All India Konkani Conference (Parishad) which had been held in the various regions where Konkani is spoken i.e. Goa, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala. The signatories to that document were members of the Advisory Board which had been appointed after following the due procedures laid down for this purpose. These procedures were not exclusively for Konkani; they are uniformly applied to each and every one of the languages recognized by the Sahitya Akademi. These members did not appoint themselves. Nor did they proffer their opinion suo motu. They gave their opinion only after the question was referred to them. And the Sahitya Akademi referred the matter to the Advisory Board because that is its normal procedure. It was left to the Sahitya Akademi to ignore the recommendation of the Board if it thought that the same was faulty, defective or unwarranted. The members do not require any separate authorization; the fact that they have been appointed members is authorization enough. The names of the members of that Advisory Board have been given by Fr. Pratap Naik in another message to goanet. A perusal of that list shows that it contains members from all the regions where Konkani is spoken; it also has writers in each of the four major scripts in which Konkani is written. Therefore, one cannot say that it was constituted solely of members from one particular region or of writers in one particular script alone. There were also Catholic priests on that Board; they were probably influenced, in addition, by

How does anyone overshadow a work to the archives? Can we not expect some common sense and seriousness from a journalist? Or does it mean that anything is fine for an activist? Msgr. Sebastiao Rodolfo Dalgado was born in 1855 i.e. in the nineteenth century. Therefore, how could this stalwart have produced any works in the 16th century? ITEM # 2: From: Sebastian Borges [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3 Nov 2005 The books in Roman script were used by the missionaries upto 1984 when Konkani was banned even from being spoken Dear all, At TGF we have not offered an opinion yet on Pratap Naik's Konkani and What Goans can do for it. We have just posted it verbatim left it at that We hope to do that later this weekend. Please remember to check TGF at http://www.colaco.net in about 72 hours. I will give you a gist of what our personal belief on this present Konkani confusao. The VESTED interests are out with their knives. As usual, Goans will get jipped in the midst of this totally useless harshness being displayed in the public arena.

I do confirm that (Marathi being my first language), My English is not up to scratch. I also know that my typing skills are what they are, I do make several TYPOS. But Sebastian Borges appears to be a very exact person. No wonder he has taken Godfrey Gonsalves to task for his obvious error. I however have a serious disagreement with what the apparently very exact Sebastian Borges has written (see Item #3 of Nov 3) and not yet corrected (Nov 5). I invite Sebastian Borges to refer me to ANY source which will confirm that Konkani was banned even from being spoken in 1984. I know I spoke it in 1984, I know I spoke it in 1967 in Goa. Jack de Sequeira spoke it in 1967, so did Ananta Narcinva Naik, Yeshwant Sitaram Desai, Dayanand Bandodkar, Jagdish Rao, Alfredo de Tavares and even Dr. Kui. So I wonder where SM Borges gets that info (? typo) from yours very sincerely the very inexact jc PS: Having said that, I believe that Kokni as presently being marketed by the Kokni Mogis/Fogis is a horrible sounding nasal Khitchdi of the delightful language Marathi. If we meet Please do not destry my love for Marathi by speaking to me in that Horrible Concoction you guys call Konkani. English will be fine, Thank You.
[Goanet] A draconian act
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- Friends, Help us fight this amanedment. Please read it carefully and let us have your comments and suggestions for help. Heta Friends, The material below is a comparison of the TCP Act and the effect of the 2005 ordinance on the Act. The comparison is the work of several persons under the banner of the Goa Environment Federation. This list cannot accept attachments (tabulated into a Word file it becomes less unwieldy to read - if you like I can email it to you separately so let me know) so I have organised the material like this: the original material comes first, followed by the changes brought about by the 2005 ordinance. Finally, there is an explanation of the power of a state governor to promulgate ordinances and in what circumstances. This is a longish post as it includes the complete comparison assembled by the GEF. It has direct and serious implications for the work of the group and all those concerned and involved in any way with heritage conservation. -- As per the Goa Town and Country Planning Act, 1974 17.

[Goanet] Goan Roads
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- The sad condition of Goan roads. There are many roads which need a lot of improvement but I could only mention two. The condition of the road from Honda to Khandepar is really not worth mentioning in most places you cannot move more than 2 kms per hour that too with a lot of bouncing up and down. It is very dangerous specially for three wheelers I saw one such three wheeler almost overturning. I dont know why the government cannot function to get these roads repaired. I think a lot of mining vehicles are using these roads which need to be of concrete. I think the truck owners , mine owners could get together and pool in some money and save on the heavy expenses for repair of vehicles time and inconvenience to all vehicles. There are lot of empty promises of those in power but the day never dawns. When will we goans take the initiative to do some constructive work? The second road that has recently been widened is the road from Calangute to Baga. I dont know how or who has done it but it is horribly done up. There is congestion and no traffic sense anybody drives overtakes any side and no traffic cop in sight. This being a very busy and important road needs great attention. It takes an hour or so to pass from calangute to baga . I really wonder what will happen if there is an emergency. I think we could go in for a helicopter service provided by the panchayat from the funds they are getting
[Goanet] Improving memory
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- SOME PRINCIPLES I USED FOR IMPROVING MEMORY- Jeffrey D`Souza I decided to write on this topic not because I have a very good memory but because I had a lot of difficulty remembering things myself when young. I wish to share some of the secrets my teachers had given me and certain things that I still remember without revising because it has become a part of my permanent memory. I remember being often rebuked for forgetting things by my teacher and elders which made me feel very bad until one day I read the following If you think you are beaten you are If you think you dare not, you dont. If you `d like to win, but think you cant, Its almost certain you wont. I can, I will, repeated a number of times helps a lot to improve confidence. It is very important to: FEEL CONFIDENT THAT YOU REMEMBER AND YOU WILL DEFINITELY REMEMBER BECOME GENUINELY INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU WANT TO REMEMBER (you never forget your best friends name) RESOLVE STRONGLY TO REMEMBER (there should be a strong reason to remember) USE AS MANY SENSES (touch, sound, smell, taste wherever possible) ASSOCIATE OR LINK LOGICALLY There are also some important things that we should do on our part so that we do not forget they are: ERASE :we have to clear our minds of all distractions or forgive all wrong doings by others that is be at peace with yourself Listen carefully you can make short notings of important points. You can request the speaker/teacher to adjust the speed/sound level if he/she is going too fast/soft. After the lesson try to get answers to some things you have not properly understood. Re-read the matter try to make sketches drawings find pictures try to use a record player and record with your own voice the matter and play it just before you go to sleep. This was very enjoyable when I did it myself. You learn to speak and enjoy this activity. I also wrote small articles and sent them to the All India Radio Yuva vani Programme which were accepted and this improved my self confidence. Repetition after a week and then a month and after 6 months can get the matter in your permanent memory. The other way of learning and remembering with a few examples are as follows:- The seven colours Violet Indigo Blue Green Yellow Orange Red can be got from the word VIBGYOR The Notes in music in the spaces in C-scale are FACE respectively and on the lines are Eat Good Bread Dear Father EGBDF The nine planets in order can be remembered from the sentence My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets Bad words are considered bad by many but I put some of the Bad Words to good use by using them to learn colour codes of Resistors and they are not easily forgotten and nobody takes pains to teach /learn them. It only takes time and effort to frame sentences/ arrange points. I think I have to leave this article incomplete for lack of space. Kindly complete it for me by experimenting and please let me know the results. Thanks for reading..Jeffrey

-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- November 03, 2005 Letter to Prime Minister on Sh. K. Natwar Singh, External Affairs Minister charged for corruption in Saddam Hussain regime Dear Prime Minister, Ever since the UN-sponsored independent committee headed by Shri Paul Volcker named External Affairs Minister Shri K. Natwar Singh as a non-contractual beneficiary of payoffs by the erstwhile Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq, the credibility of India in the international community has taken a nosedive. It is bad enough that the Minister who represents India in world affairs is implicated in a murky international scandal. What compounds the offence is that he continues to remain External Affairs Minister, with your full backing. Your comment that the UN-sponsored report contains insufficient evidence to warrant any adverse conclusion constitutes a total disregard of available facts. By rubbishing the report to score a narrow political point, you are mocking an important initiative to make the United Nations more accountable. Your defence of an errant colleague has tarnished the quality of our democracy. Read the rest of this letter from Arun Jaitley to the PM at: http://www.bjp.org/Press/nov_05/nov_0305.htm

[Goanet] Role models
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- As a regular reader of Goanet I am more than somewhat concerned that the comments posted tend to miss the core issues that should be of interest to Goans. One of these is the occasional absence of publicity for possible role models to Goan youth. In this connection I think it is appalling that your service has totally ignored the fact that a Goan, Francisco D'Souza, was recently named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Economic Times in its annual awards survey undertaken by leaders such as Narayana Murthy, Ratan Tata etc. This is, by any standard, a prestigious recognition of Goan talent and achievement, which merits wider notice among the Goan fraternity. We have few Goans in high positions in business, and to have achieved eminence in this area at the young age of 35 calls for celebration and emulation. I believe the actual awards ceremony is to take place one of these days and I hope that Goanet will not miss it this time. S. K. Dhoot

The Archbishop Filipe Neri Ferrao and the whole Catholic community of Goa and Daman, conveys his heartiest greetings to the Muslim community on the festive occasion of Eid-Ul-Fitr. Eid-Ul-Fitr, a family feast of every Muslim household which follows the month of Ramadan-a school of Iman (faith) and a 'stop to recharge one's spiritual batteries' to acquire one's provision for the rest of the year..., The noble month is a true school of transformation in which we change our actions, habits and manners that are in variance with the Law of Allah, so by spending time in prayer, we may become acceptable before him and improve our obedience towards him. Also the `Eid is a chance to multiply good deeds by bringing happiness and pleasure to the hearts of others, Muslims as well as all others, especially helping and supporting the poor and needy. We pray that all the acts of fasting, prayers and other righteous actions, be a God-sent opportunity for the Muslim community in particular and for all of us, to improve our quality of life, to leave all worldly pursuits, to shun all evil deeds and become more humane promoting peace and harmony all around and in this way we may come closer to God. Wish you a Happy Eid- Mubarak.

[Goanet] on Goa
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- This is from Mumbai's DNA newspaper, Sunday, Nov 6. Doing the done thing The holiday does not seem to matter anymore; the destination is all that counts Ninad D Sheth My last visit to Goa was at the turn of the millennium, right after my wedding. The honeymoon as my wife reminds me on the odd occasion is long over. So I was keen to know if the same will hold true for my attachment with this exquisite sea-facing dreamland. Since I was paying my way and, alas, not on a junket I chose a no-frills airline called Spice Jet. It is frighteningly no-frills! They do not even have life jackets; in case of trouble over the sea you pull the seat from your bottom, hug it close and pray hard. Destination Goa attracts blondes of all manners. Just before takeoff, a pretty young French backpacker parked herself next to me. Now my French isnt much but conversations tend to start on short hauls. The blonde asked me if I had done Goa before. Unlike backpackers out to do India with a vengeance, I do not do a place. It is much better to discover the place by walking around, meeting the local historian, dropping by an off-the-map eatery, and generally taking time to soak it in. With the death of distance these days no one wants a relaxed look. Travel is bereft of either exotica or adventure. The destination has taken over; the journey does not really matter. There is a frenzied need amongst the middle class to do a destination, if possible within the dreaded two-nights-three-days straightjacket. In the 1990s, Boeing proudly announced in its ad line tomorrow you can be anywhere, thus, by definition, ruling out that adrenalin flow which comes from going down the road less taken as in the olden days of travel. The charm and romance of travellers like Francis Younghusband or Richard Halliburton has long gone. By contrast, the air-conditioned traveller of today is the new consumer of global haunts, the outsider breezing past without bothering to look in. The digital culture has shrunk distance unbelievably. Microsofts tag line asks you where you want to go today. Between Boeing and Microsoft, the world has become a TV screen and the magic-carpet traveller has been reduced to a couch potato. Entire communities, most notably the Gujaratis and the Bengalis, have a fixed idea of visiting spaces through the vulgar mass tour groups with special diets thrown in. The Gee Wiz American is the crassest incarnate of the modern tourist. The Japanese, taking digital pictures of everything that moves come a close second. Modern travel is entirely soulless. There no excitement of arrival and none of the abiding pleasure of finding. All that matters is a picture with a grin in front of the Parthenon. Inevitably, the merry-go-round ends with a dinner at the local McDonalds. As I drank yet another feni on a moonlit Palolim beach, I had uneasy thoughts that another crass American Denis Tito had already done space as a tourist. The final frontier has been crossed. At the Goa airport on my way back, I bought a lottery ticket promising riches (actually, a crore). I said to myself, what good is it even if I win? In Goa you realise that the best things in life cost little. A feni, reading a book by the beach, or chatting up the blondes. For the one out to seek Goa and not do her, she saves her charms, like true love. Goa remains a one-night stand that lasts a lifetime. __ Yahoo!

[Goanet] UDAY BHEMBRE's ROAD MAP TO HELL
-- | Add your name to the CLEAN GOA INITIATIVE | || | by visiting this link and following the instructions therein | || | http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2005-October/033926.html | -- Dears, Nice to know that **UB ** does not necessarily refer to the Company of the King of Good Times...it is also the abbreviation used by Prof.S.M. Borges for Adv. Uday Bhembre, who reads 'good times' for Konkani only in Devanagri though he is a prolific writer of English in the Roman Script ;-)) Incidentally, in his native Kanara [Canarese?] district Vijay [and even Parajay] Mallyas clan is known as Konknni [ as against Tulu speaking Kannads.] Two lies do not make one truth. said Mahatma Gandhi. The local script for Konkani was Goykannadi not 'Devanagri' as Prof. S.M.Borges would seem to imply. I have checked this out with a historian. If Prof. S.M.Borges has evidence to the contrary, let him adduce it. It is news to me that the year 1922 is/was in the SEVENTEENTH CENTURY . Is Prof. S.M. Borges using Anno Domini or is that a Jesuit Goebellism also? Even in the Saka calendar, 1922 is not in the 17th century!! Is it in the Devanagri Konkani calendar?? Speaking of the Jesuit instigated Romi Konkani publications, Prof. S.M. borges writes,the last one having come out the press in 1660. [A.D.,I hope ]. He also writes, THE FIRST PRINTED KONKANI TEXT IN DEVANAGARI, written by natives, DATES TO 1678. It is a testimonial attached to Henrich van Rheede's monumental work Hortus Indicus Malabaricus and written by three Konkani vaidyas. [ 'Vaidyas' apparently refers to 'Hindu Brahmin medicinal therapists', unless I am sadly mistaken.] Hortus Indicus Malabaricus obviously refers to the Trees/Plants of Malabar region [Kerala] of India unless my horticultural studies did not teach me enough. In any case, the Romi lipi books PRE-DATED the Devanagri books in Konkani. that is reason enough for Godfrey Gonsalves to celebrate! Why does Prof. S.M.Borges nitpick about History, that essentially deals with the 'Past', while UB's roadmap is for the 'Future'. Alvin Toffler's book Back to the Future seems to have been misread for turning one's back on the Future. Thus, the PAST is all they see! That's where the prime of UB, Prof.S.M.Borges and my dear friend, Fernando do Rego's life actually is. In Romi Lipi Konknni, we are looking at the FUTURE. It is the language that our children will use to communicate the stirrings of their heart across the globe through the internet. Let the Devanagri votaries have their swan song in the sun...with the financial assistance of the Goa Government to publish their literary works FOR THE ARCHIVES OF THE FUTURE. We GRUDGE IT NOT . They are our brethren, though they seem to know it not. O Deva , Deva! Tenchi 'nagri' khuim asa? [ Oh my Lord, where is their land? ] ... From: Sebastian Borges [EMAIL PROTECTED] Re: UDAY BHEMBRE's ROAD MAP TO HELL by Godfrey Gonsalves Therefore, let us consider the points raised by Godfrey on their merits. 1. Konkani in Roman script has a history since the 16th century. This is a BASELESS LIE which is being propagated by vested interests who subscribe to the Goebelsian principle that a lie, when repeated a hundred times, becomes truth. They wrote religious books in Konkani in the local script but could not get them printed because, in spite of their best efforts, they could not obtain fonts in the local script. Fr. Thomas Stephens, the British Jesuit was one of those who tried their utmost to procure these fonts; their letters are a testimony to this. It was only when the Portuguese Government banned the use of the local script for official documents that Fr. Stephens transliterated his books into Roman script and got them ready for printing. His Doutrina Christam was printed posthumously in 1922; This SEVENTEENTH CENTURY work is the earliest Konkani book printed in the Roman script. Later, many more books are reported to have been printed, the last one having come out the press in 1660. NO KONKANI LITERARY WORK IN ROMAN SCRIPT WAS PUBLISHED BETWEEN 1660 AND 1890 (that is, for over two centuries!). LET GODFREY CITE SUCH WORKS, IF ANY, BEFORE REPEATING THE LIE that, in Konkani, Roman script has a history since the sixteenth century! THE FIRST PRINTED KONKANI TEXT IN DEVANAGARI, written by natives, DATES TO 1678. It is a testimonial attached to Henrich van Rheede's monumental work Hortus Indicus Malabaricus and written by three Konkani vaidyas. At least one of these vaidyas, who provided the Portuguese translation thereof,

Mario replies: It looks like Santosh is trying to obfuscate the point I was making by a misleading and over-sensitive interpretation of an English figure of speech I used, leading to a false allegation that I was denigrating Islam. Anyone with even a cursory knowledge of colloquial English would know that there was no reference to religion or to Mecca, the center of the Islamic religion, in my post under reference. I did not use the word Mecca - with a capital M. Thus Mecca was not being denigrated as Santosh has falsely claimed. I was referring to socialist meccas, which, in English would mean major centers of socialism. In the meantime, Santosh apparently has nothing to say about the plight of minorities in the socialist meccas of Holland and France, which was what I had referred to in my post.

Bovines are often not purchased, but records show it is owned by the dairy farmer. When bankers go for site inspection, the farmer claims his bovine has gone for grazing and cannot ascertain when it will return. Months later, the farmer claims his bovine has died and the 'fixed' doctor does the rest. (Freddy Rebello, in Herald) Four teenagers died on Saturday, two from Dehra Dun died off Arossim beach, and another two off Palolem. The latter two were from Ponda. (H) o Marine life under threat in Goa: Goa's territorial waters are showing signs of an increase in anoxia (oxygen depletion), which can have an adverse effect on the state's marine life, says research findings of the National Institute of Oceanography.(H) o Ravi Naik's supporters had a luncheon meet, and even tried to rope in education minister Luizinho Faleiro, to throw his weight behind the oust-Rane campaign, initiated by the GPCC president (Naik). GT In Honda village, Sattari, the home of a major bus building factory, villagers demanded at a recent gram sabha meeting that the number of migrants working in the area be restricted. Those who have lived here for more than 10 years may stay; even many of them have married with the locals. However, we are against any more of them coming here, we demand that our own villagers be employed, panchayat member Vishwajeet Rane said. Nearly 1000 Biharis, mostly working in factories as labourers, have been driven out of the village. Rane told GT that the locals are agitated by the bias shown by managements of factories to recruit Biharis. The migrants are ready to work for less wages, even Rs 40 per day. This has resulted in a large number of our local youth being unemployed, he said. (Andrew Pereira in the Gomantak Times) Assagao's new Saturday Nite Bazaar is coming up on a bed of deceipt, writes GT/Weekender. The Assagao panchayat, sections of the comunidade and the local MLA have violated notifications and forest laws, it writes. The principle is simple. The highest bidder wins, comments GT-Weekender. It tracks the robbery that no police station will ever report. (GT/W_) o Film Awards: Dynesh Moghe's Kantteantlem Ful won the best film award award for 2005 at the third Goa state film festival, and also bagged either other film awards. Local film-makers wore black badges, silenting observing a sit-in protest outside the venue, condemning the state government for not releasing financial aid for the production of Konkani films.
