-- | 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 following song is based on a true incident that took place in Margao, Goa over two decades ago. It is composed by the late Rom Tony who was one of the finest artists and composers of the Konkani stage. The song is sung by Jr. Rod and Felcy, the only two professionally active tiatrist children of the late Minguel Rod and Rom Tony. Usually, a song consists of three verses and three choruses but this one has six verses and six choruses; hence, it is sung in two parts. It is the first song of Rom Tony's first cassette titled KUDDI BHOINN - Rom and Rod. At the time of the release of the cassette, Rom and Rod were a famous duo, which later on became Rom-Rem-Rod trio. The trio became very popular because they sang zupatteo about Goan politics and politicians. Here are the lyrics of the song.

[Goanet] December 1 - World AIDS Day
-- | 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 | -- December 1st is World AIDS Day. Established by the World Health Organization in 1988, World AIDS Day serves to focus global attention on the devastating impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Observance of this day provides an opportunity for governments, national AIDS programs, churches, community organizations and individuals to demonstrate the importance of the fight against HIV/AIDS. With an estimated 39.4 million people worldwide living with HIV at the end of 2004, and more than 20 million people having died of AIDS since 1981, December 1st serves to remind everyone that action makes a difference in the fight against HIV/AIDS. - http://www.omhrc.gov -- http://www.goanet.org/gallery/displayimage.php?album=10pos=1 Goa: Gender sensitive approach to combat AIDS http://www.goanet.org/modules.php?op=modloadname=Newsfile=articlesid=256 -- India India's socioeconomic status, traditional social norms, cultural myths on sex and sexuality, large-scale migration and a huge population of marginalized people make it extremely vulnerable to the AIDS epidemic. Country HIV and AIDS estimates, end 2003* Adult (15-49) HIV prevalence rate..(range: 0.4%-1.3%) Adults (15-49) living with HIV..(range: 2,200,000-7,300,000) Adults and children (0-49) living with HIV..(range: 2,200,000-7,600,000) Women (15-49) living with HIV..(range: 630,000-2,100,000) AIDS deaths (adults and children) in 2003..(range: 160 000-560 000) Source: 2004 Report on the global AIDS epidemic * No estimates have been made where sufficient data for the last six years was not available. Additional country-by-country epidemiological information can be found in the UN Epidemiological Fact Sheets on HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections. Country Situation Analysis The second phase of the National AIDS Control Programme (NACPII) has been established through the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, and State AIDS Control Societies in every state. India is one of the few countries that initiated HIV-prevention activities in the very early stages of the epidemic and the country has maintained its commitment to prevention efforts. In 2004, India introduced free antiretroviral treatment in government hospitals. The programme initially began in the six high-prevalence states. Furthermore, 2004 brought a change in government and an increased political commitment to implement a multisectoral programme on HIV and AIDS. However, due to the vast size of the country, there are many challenges involved in expanding the high-level commitment to all states and to the grass- roots level, as well as in involving ministries and departments other than health, and in scaling up interventions to meet the projected needs for prevention and care. UNAIDS Support to the National Response The UN Theme Group on HIV/AIDS in India is an expanded Theme Group co-chaired by the UN Resident Representative and Government of India. It includes the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), bilateral donor agencies and the Indian Network for People living with HIV/AIDS. It works closely with the government, nongovernmental organizations, community networks, people living with HIV and AIDS, the private sector and other partners in generating a well- coordinated and enhanced response to HIV and AIDS. Among other things, in 2004 the Expanded Theme Group on HIV/AIDS in partnership with the government and the Parliamentary Forum on HIV/AIDS organized a 'National Student and Youth Parliament Special Session on HIV/AIDS' bringing together 3000 young leaders from all 600 districts in India. The young people were trained on HIV and AIDS issues, discussed their role in the response and debated legislation on HIV and AIDS. As follow up to the Youth Parliament, State Youth Forums are being formed and local awareness activities are being implemented by the young people. In 2004 the Expanded Theme Group also published an annual report describing the Theme Group's response to HIV/AIDS in India in 2003. It also initiated a mapping of resources for HIV in India and initiated the development of a joint advocacy plan. Furthermore, the Expanded Theme Group established subgroups

[Goanet] Ramada Golf Course:Goa Govt playing Santa to Varca hotel?
-- | 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 | -- - Documented by Goa Desc Resource Centre Ph:2252660 Website: www.goadesc.org Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Press Clippings on the web: http://www.goadesc.org/mem/ --- - Govt playing Santa to Varca hotel? - Is the government trying to acquire seashore private property for a Varca-Fatrade based beach resort to set up a golf course? So it seems, as the Land Acquisition Office here has set in motion the preliminary process towards acquiring 1.86 lakh sq mts of private property comprising of coconut garden and paddy fields. According to sources the Land Acquisition Office, Margao on Tuesday has asked the Revenue Secretary to accord administrative approval for the proposal made by the Resort under Part VII of LA Act to acquire land for a company. Herald inquiries further revealed that the matter was doing the rounds unofficially for the last couple of months, but the formal proposal from the resort came to the district Collector J B Singh only around November 10. With the proposal now being forwarded for administrative approval, officials say the final proposal for publication of section 4 of the LA Act will be submitted to the government no sooner the administrative approval for the proposal is received by the Land Acquisition Office. In the meantime, the starred resort is believed to have applied for NOC and zoning certificate from the Town and Country Planning Department. While making the proposal for land acquisition, the resort has argued that the tourists are unhappy with the existing facilities and demand to have outdoor activities too. We have facilities like swimming and indoor games for the entertainment and attraction of tourists visiting our resort, but the tourists demand outdoor activities, maintained the resort owner in the proposal. We feel the site in question located adjacent to the resort is more suitable for construction of golf course and related development, the resort owner said, adding the land is situated along the seashore within the restricted line of 500 mts from the High Tide Line. The resort owner has contended in the letter that since the land cannot be used for construction purpose, acquiring it for the golf course would not cause any damage or loss for the owners. And, he conceded that the landowners have not given a positive reply to its request for purchase of the land. Government officials, when contacted, sought to wash their hands off, saying they have only forwarded the proposal to the government for a decision. Let the government take a decision as the proposal is perhaps the first of its kind, reacted another official to the proposal. -- HERALD 01/12/05 page 1 - Jagrut Goenkaranchi Fouz (JGF) [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ===an activist campaign on tourism issues in Goa=== --- 11 Liberty Apts, Feira Alta, Mapusa 403 507 Goa == -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[Goanet] Antarctica-9 Joaquim almost loses it
-- | 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 | -- In the midst of a very busy week with an almost 18 work day, our group is called to make a very important decision. Should be deploy an array of equipment and leave it floating around for a day or should we wait for open waters and more amiable weather? Joaquim who fancies himself in the leagues of Vasco da Gama and Christopher Columbus wants to go ahead. Everyone else backs out and I now fear we are the guinea pigs of this expedition. They are going to learn from our mistakes and come out winners. Let me explain how our 'leader' (although he claims to follow a horizontal model) stuck his neck out. We are now attaching expensive equipment to a line that is NOT tethered to the ship. The line which has to remain vertical and has all kinds of stuff attached to it, also has funnel-like structures at the end of it which will collect sedimenting particles over a day. Remnants of phytoplankton that die and are eaten will fall into these 'sediment traps' as will everything else that can sink. Two pink buoys keep it afloat while a radio signal transmitter allows us to locate it. With the help of the Raytheon techs, we deploy the array of equipment while everyone else watches and shakes their heads. It's a very cold and gray morning but all goes well. However by afternoon, Alice Doyle, one of Raytheon's superhuman techs who once jumped into these waters in a bikini, thinks that our array is in danger. Large ice floes can come together to cover it and bury it under ice resulting in a loss of the radio signal and consequently the array. While our Fearless Leader stirs a cup of hot chocolate and mulls over this problem it happens! The array disappears, not a peep from the radio - nothing. All around us is whiteness. Alice barks orders into her radio while Fearless Leader takes his interns and goes to the deck to try and spot it. I am chewing my nails in my heated cabin. The captain takes charge and moves the ship ever which way, ramming into the ice floes, crushing them - destruction all around us. This 'Godzilla in Antarctica' act goes on for two hours while Joaquim and his interns desperately scan the whiteness like fishermen's wives waiting for their husbands. Then suddenly, Eric, another super tech who walks around in T-shirts spots the pink buoys. The radio will be silent for another half an hour. A classic case of low tech winning over high tech. But retrieving the array proves to be tough work. The floes won't let go - the array is embedded into the ice. Eric hooks it with a flamboyant lasso and the winch manages to drag it closer but because it could hit against the side of the ship it has to be yanked out with brute force. And believe me there is a lot of it on this ship. Because the shackles are small, Alice often works without gloves even though her hands look blue to me! Finally we get it back with not even a single piece missing. Can you beat this happy ending? -- |Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | || | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --

[Goanet] Remo and IFFI
-- | 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 | -- I was surprised to read the post on Remo's reactions vis-a-vis IFFI In many respect it reflects a typical Goan reaction. But who are hurt by Remo's actions? 1. The charitable causes that his donation supported last year and this year if he had participated in the events. 2. The many Goans whose livelihood depends on tourism (conservatively - 30% of Goa's economy). 3. Goan image - that Goa cannot pull-off a national meeting / festival. 4. If the next IFFI is not held, that's Rs- 100 crore less in Goa's economy and the lakhs individual visitors spend during their stay in Goa. The only peeve of Remo that I would agree with is that IFFI exacerbates the garbage problem that Goa has still to resolve. It is NOT the job of the government to provide hospitals to Goans. The same applies to schools. These are consumer-related enterprises that are best left to the private sector (indiviudal and collected Goans) as in the rest of India. I am only pointing this out because Goans always expect someone else to meet their needs and then they complain about the lousy job / service delivered. Ues it is the job f the governemnt ot provide good roads, adequate water adn electricity. But to do so it needs money ani poixe. Wake up Remo and Goans who think like him! The era of a Patrao ani Godfather taking care of Goans is over. And PLEASE do not cut your nose to spite your face. If one is really annoyed about the ploliticans ruling Goa, the next elections will be comming shortly. Run for the office. That's democracy. Kind Regards, GL News about Remo: In a strident tone directed against the Goa International Film Festival of India (IFFI), the music icon says film festivals are important but so are schools and hospitals. PRemo, who slammed his doors on the IFFI by rejecting an offer to perform at Thursday's opening ceremony, has just stopped short of saying 'pack that stuff'. PI am not against IFFI in anyway. But look at the broken benches at Goa's schools and the broken windows of its hospitals. They are in stark contrast to the state-of-the-art Inox theatre showing the films, said Remo, who is staying away from the film fiesta in his state, which has become the permanent IFFI venue this year. PThe star of such successful albums as 'Goan Crazy!' and 'Pack that Smack', says between last year's IFFI and this year's, the government did nothing to improve the state's infrastructure. PSenior citizens had to walk on the highway between Panaji and Miramar at the risk of their lives because the work on the pavement blocks were not done during the whole year, he says. PRemo says while he is not protesting against the IFFI, he wants to look at it on a human scale. Before you spend on festivals you spend on people. It is about priorities. By hosting an international festival, he says, the authorities have proved that they are capable of doing things though the general perception about the government is that it is incapable of doing anything better. -- |Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | || | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --

''Since an international airport is coming up, we have agreed to make some adjustments in our flying activities,'' Air Marshal Satish K. Jain, Senior Air Staff Officer, Air Force Training Command told this website's newspaper. Headquartered in the City, Training Command controls IAF's training activities all over the country, including Yelahanka, where basic flying training is imparted. This station trains transport pilots and is the venue for the biennial Aero India fair. With these changes, the IAF will literally have to travel an extra nautical mile. Trainer aircraft will have to travel longer to reach training sectors. So their schedules and training circuits will have to be remodelled. But the IAF has not agreed to all the demands made by the AAI and has flatly refused to close the Srinivasapura airstrip in Kolar. ''We need it for our training activities,'' he said. Several activities, including testing of Nishant, the unmanned aerial vehicle, are undertaken here. The IAF had also turned down the AAI demand for 30 nautical miles of unrestricted airspace. -- |Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | || | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --
[Goanet] Kvcd: Rom Tony (Kuddi Bhoinn)
-- | 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 | -- ROM TONY - A Tribute to our beloved dad, by Felcy. I have just finihsed watching it and I liked it so much that I decided to go out to a nearby cybercafe to write a few words.. 10 beautiful songs, most reminded me watching/listening in its original tiatr in 70s 80s. It may be reminded that like Conception- Nelson- Anthony, ROM-REM-ROD were equally famous trio. Felcy is a daughter of one of them. This is realy an unique type of production never seen before. Congratulations to Felcy and her entire team. Well done Felcy, keep up the good work. All songs are beautifully sung/acted with indoors/outdoor scenes. Comedian Dominic, Luis Bachan, Ben Evangelisto, Mini Mario, Francis de Tuen, Josephine, Jr. Rod, Felcy, Aplon, Sylvina, Clive, Lawrence and Rom Tony all played nice and fitting roles be it a tailor, Doctor/Nurse/Patient, Income Tax officer etc.etc You remember ? A heartless brother plucked his own sister's eyes? This was happened in Margao i think about 20 years ago. Two beautiful songs based on this true story 'Kuddi Bhoinn' sung by Felcy Jr.Rod with background scenes depicting the Sister, her boyfriend, her brother her sister-in-law, it was really touching. I remember the original song Trio 'MOSKORIO' watched on stage/ Tiatr where the daughter complains to his dad about a boy teasing/touching her etc father replies 'No problem,Take it easy' or says 'Hio Moskorio bai' Few months later, the daughter become pregnant and the father ask her 'what is this?' then the daughter replies ' Hio Moskorio Pai' TUM SONS GO BHAI KITEM SONS MUNTTAI TIO MOSKORIO BAI (The tune was hindi film song - gapuchi-gapuchi gam gam..) Another song, Imtto Bhatkar (Luis Bachan Francis de Tuen), I also remember this song- where the bhatkar gives 1 metre piece of cloth to a tailor and tell him to make two pants and then he bargains to make 3 pants, so the tailors comes back with 3 tiny pants. Another Song 'Nurse' Its got to be an hosital ward room with Rom Tony as patient, Clive as Doctor and Sylvina as Nurse. These scene reminds me of our UK popular TV Soap 'Casualty' where all young doctors and nurses having affair etc (I think there is similar one in Hindi on Star Plus-India) The old nosy patient watch them kissing etc and when asked how he knew every thing then he replies 'I watched it all thru the key hole' Superb acting or action (as if real) with playback singing by Felcy, Rom Tony, Jr.Rod Jusephine. Verdict: 10+ Now, would any body like to have this FREE VCD ? I can post to any one any where from UK. Don't know why I keep doing this knowingly there was no one came forward last time. It was really disapointing though.. My few words abv, plus my 10+ marks and this FREE offer.. It's got to be a good one. So what you waiting for ??

[Goanet] Day light robbery in Margao Planning
-- | 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 | -- Day light robbery in Margao Planning When entire Goa was involved in agitating on TCP ordinance, a concoction of builders and businessmen secretly meet to select a chairman and members for Margao Planning Development Authority (MPDA)! What is surprising is this finalized list receives immediate endorsement of our Chief Minister! What is striking of this reconstituted MPDA is its Chairman and members. Chairman is politically influential, non-Goan, thumb master without architectural or engineering or environmental skills. As regards members they are neither notable engineers nor architects nor environmentalist nor planners. But all of them know the art of keeping builders happy! If one traces Margao history from Margao Municipal Council to SPDA (then) one gross happening surface out predominately is the Land deal dealing of a vast land situated surrounding Margao SPDA market. In this case a non-Goan jeweler by profession turned builder was extended many favors by than politically influential non-Goan thumb master Chairman of Margao Municipal Council to the extent of granting highest ever FAR of 2.5! That jeweler returned that big favor by constructing and donating a plaza free of cost and organized lavish ceremony of influential politician's kin which Goa had never seen before. These two returned favors are also well known to all Madgaonkars. One senior citizen remarked Present MPDA is like day light robbery and we are taken for granted to accept the reconstituted MPDA. If this is how the MPDA can be constituted why they could not include my driver or my servant or my obedient guard on to MPDA at least they can speak and express themselves in commanding English. Yes I do know that there are no laid down criteria as to what should be the qualification of the chairman and members of MPDA; but that does not mean that a thumb masters be appointed as chairman and or members! I wonder what the roll of MPDA is. Is not this department meant to plan and develop our Margao? Or is it that our Margao is to be planned and developed by Margao builders and their views is endorsed by a thumb master chairman and members of MPDA? I also know that ruling party nominates its party loyalist on such posts but than that does not mean that government can appoint an Engineer or Architect as Dean of Medical College! I also agree that party loyalist are always accommodated on such appointments but in case of recent chairman of MPDA I have never seen him active in Congress during South Goa MP election, two Poiguinim elections and recent bye election of Margao. In other words Punch the loyalists and reward the betrayals appear to be the slogan of our congress government! This is quite disheartening!! As a Madgaonkar I must say that reconstituted MPDA is a big fraud of builders and business houses and needs to be dissolved and reconstituted giving proper representations to the deserving party loyalist in qualified engineers, architects and environmentalists.

[Goanet] Hospitalized Goa Government
-- | 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 | -- Hospitalized Goa Government Goa government is hospitalized with multiple fractures, wounds and complicated illnesses. Surprisingly this government is attended and supported by non- medical professionals specialized in fracturing and damaging. Even though these scruples professionals' were given free hands at the cost of keeping entire Goa as hostage there is neither relief nor remedies visible! Devastating splintering attempt was put on cards with actions from the day one Goa Governance changed the hands. To treat the recently crafted Monster Bomb in TCP ordinance selfish Mammy scored the government to peaces and letter even demoralized the supporting NGOs. Even before the effect of Mammy's treatment could be seen King Momo of South Goa started treating the ill Goa Government with yet another self styled deep intravenous MOPA injection. This injection appears to have been researched by King Momo, 4 MLAs and south Goa masses. And now that Praffula Patel Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation has given a written reply in Raj Sabha on Tuesday stating that Civilian Air Port at Dabolim will be closed once Mopa Airport is ready we will have to wait and watch the next treatment from King Momo. Beside these specialized treatments, there are n numbers of other minor and major treatments taking place day in and day out. The net effect of all these treatments is Government machinery is kept at stand still (forced to take complete bed rest) by these scruples professionals each trying to treat the hospitalized Goa government the way they feel fit. This being the state of affairs I wonder why the actual doctors in general public who were instrumental to change hands of governing our Goa and sympathizing NGOs quite about all these issues. Have they lost their spine or are they trying to preach us that Though it's a growing mess within and out of ruling party.. its okaylet us all leave with sufferings and confusions.. let us redefine our Goa if required but lets not allow earlier party to rule our Goa.What logic!!

This time, when I visited Panjim, I was shocked to know that the line of streetlights lining Dayanand badodkar road have been imported from Belgium for IFFI 2004 ! Belgium ! What a waste of public money. Aren't there places in India where some lamposts could have been procured ? I was also a bit puzzled by seeing the varied structure of the road near the Panjim market, and in front the Kala Academy. Why have tiled roads only for a few square meters ? In fact, these roads are dangerous too, as was proved sometime last year, when two boys (albeit speeding) lost their lives when their bike skidded on the tiled textures in front of Kala Academy.

[Goanet] Antarctica 8 The day we left Mother Ship
-- | 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 the eighth posting of my trip to the icy continent. The others can be found in my blog at Link: http://goantoantarctica.blogspot.com We are now in a spot that seems ideal for our work. Big sheets of ice surround us. The ship pushes and shovels around to give us enough free water to deploy our instruments. All through the latter part of the journey, the two ice captains have not had the luxury of auto pilot. Every day they stand on the bridge trying to find the path of least resistance - we often take a longer and more circuitous route just to avoid the very thick ice. Like a bulldozer we back up and then push again. Vladimir, one of our two ice captains has spent the better part of his life on both poles with his favorite haunts being Siberia and the Antarctic! He swings his arms around like a conductor to point the best possible route but even though I try to figure out his 'plan' for us by watching his arms in conjunction with the terrain outside, it all looks the same to me! Whiteness and brilliant sunshine. Now that we have stopped, we take our first trip outside the ship in small rubber dinghies. It's a strange feeling to leave the mother ship which looks huge from our small boats. It also feels more real because we can touch the ice and water. Unfortunately we can't touch the two curious Adelie penguins that come close to us because we will be slapped with a 10,000$ fine and attain pariah status with the funding agency. The penguins do everything to distract us from our work which is not much except to collect water in carboys. We just want to be away from the ship and its metallic particles and of course we want to ride the cool looking Zodiac dinghies. The Adelies are at their cutest best, flapping their wings, raising their beaks high, flopping on their bellies and sliding around. Some party pooper calls us back because we are wasting too much time playing with the penguins and they need to deploy other instruments like the Echo Sounder. This temperamental gadget gives us information on the magnitude of internal waves and bubbles all of which can transport phytoplankton in and out of the well lit waters. Eco Sounders in plain language send a 'ping' of a certain frequency and then receive the signal back. This received signal or Echo changes on its way back through the water because of certain things in the water such as bubbles, particles or even fish. Often shoals of fish are detected using Echo Sounders. Analysis and interpretation of the signal and the ability to filter other unwanted signals like ship generated turbulence can be a trying task as the two lady scientists from the Old Dominion University,Virginia are finding out! -- |Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | || | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --

In Canada, there is no renewal of passports. Once the passport expires we have to make a new one. So what happens with the stamped Dual Citizenship record on the passport? You may say, we can attach the old passport to the new one. No, we cannot hold the old passport as it is confiscated by the authorities when issuing a new passport. I think it would be better if they issue it as a Dual Citizenship card, so whenever people wants to travel to India, they have to make sure they carry it with them seperately instead of affixing it on any other passport.

We will be holding smaller festivals on topics like wildlife, environment, children, art and others, state Information Secretary Debashree Mukharjee said. For this, the Entertainment Society of Goa, host for IFFI, will chalk out a state calendar of film festivals, she added. A lot of film infrastructure has been built for the IFFI and it cannot be kept idle throughout the year. The infrastructure can be used for smaller festivals, said an ESG official. ESG, along with Kala Academy, a cultural body semi-owned by the state government, have been roped in for the festivals. Full Coverage: IFFI 2005 To start with, the Children's Film Society of India has planned a four-day event in January. The festival will be held between January 10 and January 14 when children's films will be screened all over the state,'' stated Ather Shaiah, CFSI's marketing manager. Films like Kabhi Paas Kabhi Fail by Virendra Saini, Chhakkad bakkad bambe boo by Shridhar Rangayan, Heda Hoda by Vinod Gaatra will be screened for children, he added. The festival will be inaugurated at Kala Academy, Panaji, with Chhota Sipahi, a film which has Goa's liberation movement as the backdrop. Kala Academy member-secretary Pandurang Faldesai said the Academy plans to start a film club soon -- |Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | || | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --
[Goanet] India's deadly highways
-- | 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 | -- HIV Is Spreading Via India's Highways Nov 29 9:27 PM US/Eastern Email this story By MARGIE MASON AP Medical Writer NEW DELHI, India Zalisz Ahmed paid $1 and lost his virginity on the side of the road to one of India's countless young truck-stop prostitutes. He's had unprotected sex with many others since and says he's never heard of AIDS. Ahmed, 20, is one of an estimated 5 million to 8 million truck drivers who supply the country with everything from apples to air conditioners along long-haul routes that have become deadly HIV highways. The crowded ribbons crisscross the nation of more than 1 billion people and facilitate one of India's high-risk AIDS groups: men far from home who are always on the move. Just as in Africa two decades ago, truckers and the sex they buy have helped fuel India's spread of a disease that revolves mainly around sex and injecting drugs. With an estimated 5.1 million people living with AIDS and the virus that causes it, India currently ranks just after South Africa in logging the world's highest number of infections. However, the number of Indian cases per capita remains relatively low, with an estimated 0.4 percent to 1.3 percent of adults infected so far. Local truck stops, called dhabas, litter India's highways. They provide warm food and bodies for truckers with no questions asked. The prostitutes are poor and uneducated - forced to sell themselves for pennies inside trucks, parking lots or even outside in the bushes. Negotiating condom use simply isn't an option for most who work alone instead of in more organized brothels. Out of the 20-25 truckers tested each month at Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital, near the Sanjay Gandhi truck depot in New Delhi, about one-fourth come back positive. They tell us they have many sex partners at red-light areas and then they have sex with their wives, said Nirmal Khatri, a counselor at the hospital whose job it is to inform patients of their HIV status. We can't press them. It is their own decision. It is a problem - it is a big problem. The cycle is often vicious. Out of the handful of positive truckers who come back for follow-up visits, some report still having unprotected sex with prostitutes or sleeping with their unsuspecting wives who sometimes then become pregnant and pass the disease on to their babies. Outreach workers have for years visited dhabas and depots. Safe sex messages are plastered across billboards and are handed out in brochures at these roadside venues - they're even painted on the sides of cars that pass big rigs to remind drivers of the risks. But the message isn't always loud - or clear - enough. The government, trucking industry, unions and the drivers themselves must take responsibility to keep history from repeating itself in India, said S. Sundararaman, an AIDS consultant. He's devoted the past 15 years to working with truckers and has spent many long nights talking safe sex at dhabas that never close. In Africa, it was exactly the same because wherever the roads did not take people, the epidemic did not reach there, he said. The epidemic is invading. Sundararaman said Indian truckers can have anywhere from 40 to 400 sex partners a year, depending on how much time and money they have on their hands. India's growing economy is also pushing more traffic - and disease - into new areas, he said. The truckers actually have a very, very important and crucial role to play in containment, he said. We have characterized them as a bridge population because they are bridging the population across geography. No numbers are available for how many truckers may be infected, but in the northeastern state of Assam, a survey found one-quarter tested were HIV-positive, said Denis Broun, country coordinator for UNAIDS in India. He added that fewer than 20 percent of truckers nationwide are getting prevention messages and condoms, and none of the nation's driving schools includes AIDS education in their curriculum. But the men are being tempted everywhere by sex. Some dhabas use it as their top money maker, and long waits for paperwork between states also fuel boredom relieved by countless women who approach the trucks in parking lots, restaurants or anywhere else drivers congregate. The highways are very slow so people, when they start on long hauls, start on trips which are over a month, Broun said. What we have found in some cases, the food was free (at the dhabas),

A film festival needs an attractive venue and Goa fits the bill perfectly. It's a small place and my philosophy is that you shouldn't hold a film festival in a big city, Managing Director of Cannes Film Market, Jerome Paillard said. Unlike the Berlin Film Festival where it was not properly publicised, I was impressed by the several posters and film festival material put up at the airport, he said. According to Paillard, French filmmakers are interested in screening their movies in India and were on the lookout for good co-production deals. We want to make full use of the multiplex culture here and several French films will be distributed in India soon, he said. However, Paillard shot down Indian filmmaker Vijay Singh's suggestion of reserving a separate hall at the Cannes Film Market for screening Indian movies. Although theoretically, it's a wonderful idea, I don't think it is feasible to put it into practice, considering we don't know about the selected films in advance, he said. -- Cheers, Gabe Menezes.

The special promotional economy class fare on Delhi-London sector would start from Rs 28,500, excluding taxes, while the Business Class fare would be Rs 120,000 and Premier Business class at Rs 170,000, Air Sahara president Ronojoy Dutta told reporters in New Delhi. The promotional package also includes special companion-free passes for each ticket on the Premium Economy class as well as the Premier Business class. The packages could be availed by purchasing the Delhi-London ticket before December 31 and travel by March 31, he said, adding that the flight would be operated by a brand new Boeing 767 aircraft in a four-class configuration on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Dutta refused to comment on a spate of questions regarding liquor baron Vijay Mallya's statements that he was interested in picking major stake in Air Sahara. Announcing that the airline would acquire seven Boeing 737-800s on lease with the first two arriving in February, the Air Sahara chief said the carrier was also in talks with lessors for two more Boeing 767s for its international operations. He said Air Sahara, which had launched 12 additional flights during November, was planning to have a second daily flight to Singapore this winter season. It was also planning to make the Delhi-London service a daily flight from the present four days a week. The leading Indian airline has already applied for launching operations to Bangkok and Hong Kong in next summer and would also operate to Kuala Lumpur with additional planes coming in. Dutta said Air Sahara would soon provide through tickets from any destination in India to any destination in Europe in collaboration with British Airways, while American Airlines would codeshare with it on the Delhi-London sector. To questions on scarcity of pilots, he said the situation had 'now eased a bit' and poaching had stopped. On the impending fogs in Delhi and northern parts, he said the carrier was in talks with Directorate General of Civil Aviation over the pilot training requirements and procedures for Category-III Instrument Landing System and made some suggestions in that regard. -- Cheers, Gabe Menezes.
