When we talked about his romansi, he walked to a close by table, picked up BHANGARACHEA PAKANCHEM SUKNNEM romans, written by Luis Jose Pinto, presented it to me and said: Hi romans portun xaplea; tuvem vachunk nam zalear vach. Although I had read the romans almost half a century ago, I again read it on my way back to Saudi Arabia, and right now I have the romans in front of me. The accusation in question is to a posting made in October 2004. Given Joao Inacio's age, anything could have happened to him in the interim period, but thank God he is still very much alive as of writing this message. May he live beyond 100 years! His younger brother who ran the business, passed away early last year. I paid my condolences to his wife and son (both were wearing black clothes) and expressed shock over his death because I had met him only a few months earlier when I had been to their place to collect sausages. His wife and son now run the business. Joao Inacio continues to live in Gaunsavaddo in the old house adjacent to the new one which is separated by a narrow pathway which leads to the sausage factory. If you need any more information, go to Joao Inacio's house and get it yourself. Next time, do your homework properly and get your facts right before you falsely accuse and get involved in character assassination!

[Goanet] Easter reflections of an agnostic
--- * G * O * A * N * E * T *** C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * --- USDA certified Goa Sausages and other Goan foods can now be delivered to virtually any part of the world. http://www.goanfoods.com --- I enjoyed reading everyone's Easter reflections so I thought I'd share my own, sans the bitter coffee ofcourse :)) Being an agnostic is a very freeing experience. It's also a painful process. It begins with a lot of questions and ends with a certain amount of despair. Along the way though, you do a lot of research hoping to find something that leads you to God. The only thing I've found with any amount of certainty so far, is that God didn't create man in his image but man created God in his. The Jesus Christ I know was a rabble rouser. He so detested orthodox Judaism that he was determined to form a new religion. Among the things he hated about it was its exclusivity. Which is why Paul and Peter (the much underrated heros of Christianity), abolished so many of the chains that bound Judaic followers. For a man who abhored exclusivity, it's difficult to attribute a religion that professes eternal damnation to anyone who isn't part of it. When Jesus, (assuming he ever did utter these words) said I am the way, the truth and the life, could it not mean that he was seriously saying to the Jews, you better change your thought processes because continuing the way you are, is not going to get you anywhere. Anyway, I had a wonderful Easter with my family. It was a dark, gloomy day, perfect for staying in, eating Pulau and reflecting on the small joys of life. Thoughts of crucifixions, executions, resurrections were far from our minds. But spring, the renewal of life and its eternal promise of better things to come were close at hand.

[Goanet] 'Goa' to be staged in Kolkata...
--- * G * O * A * N * E * T *** C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * --- USDA certified Goa Sausages and other Goan foods can now be delivered to virtually any part of the world. http://www.goanfoods.com --- http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=178340 Staging Woes Pragya Paramita On 27th of this month, Shuktara Lal, a young theatre director of the city is putting up yet another production. Nothing new in a city which witnesses productions every other day, but what makes this stand out is the attempt taken by the director to stage a production in English written by an Indian playwright. Theatre, especially in English, has long favoured American and European playwrights and names like Harold Pinter, Tom Stoppard and Arthur Miller have become household names. But with the staging of Currimbhoy's Goa, Lal hopes to bring into focus the vast repertoire of Indian plays , written either by Indian playwrights or translated by them. Last week, a city bookstore witnessed a discussion aptly titled, 'Our Plays, Our Stage', where some of the known faces of theatre spoke about the problem. Katy Lai Roy, Sumon Mukhopadhyay and Vinay Sharma along with Tathagata Chowdhury and Shuktara Lal were the panelists, and delved into the psyche of the Indian directors to assert why plays by Indian writers have always been relegated to the background. The primary reason most agreed, was the lack of resources, be it in the form of original plays or even translated works. Advertisement Girish Karnad's and Vijay Tendulkar's plays have been staged, but except for a few like Mahesh Dattani, where are the fresh talents? asked Sumon Mukhopadhyay. The main reason for the lack of new talents is because of the chances of failure. After all even Asif Currimbhoy had to face dejection and died a bitter man. While there was no disagreement about the richness of regional plays, yet in most cases directors, for lack of good translation, ignore them. An interesting element that emerged from the discussion was that way back in the early '90s when English plays were a rarity in Kolkata, a few people took it upon themselves to translate other regional plays in English. In fact, it was this demand for good translated works which led to the formation of Seagull Bookstore, which has now become the meeting ground for theatre directors. But it's not just the lack of good material, which puts off directors, but also the question of copyright. It is much easier to stage a Miller or a Shakespeare, as there is no question of being sued by them or paying any royalties, something that is not easily available in the case of local plays. But the most interesting fact that emerged from the discussion was that with the preoccupation with Euro-American-centric plays, Indian productions were losing out on other plays of cultures a lot similar to our own, like Latin American, African and closer home, South East Asian. The veterans did agree that during their time, in spite of the unavailability of English plays, they were privileged enough to have seen the works of some of the greatest regional directors like Utpal Dutta and Badal Sirkar. You cannot go to them and ask them if you can translate their works. I think it is privilege enough to watch them, said Kati Roy. _ Do not post admin requests to the list.

[Goanet] Easter: Friends Adversaries
--- * G * O * A * N * E * T *** C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * --- USDA certified Goa Sausages and other Goan foods can now be delivered to virtually any part of the world. http://www.goanfoods.com --- --- Mario Goveia mgoveia at sbcglobal.net wrote: Gabe, obviously without a clue, then attempted a weak and puerile insult about my mindset and pretending to understand Latin, which led to Santosh's response, both shown above. To which Santosh Helekar responded: As all regular Goanetters know quite well Gabe is a good and decent human being. Then Francis Rodrigues, aka Gary Rodrigues chimed in: There is much I wished to discuss/debate/contribute on this forum (issues which would perhaps have been of interest to some Goanetters), from over 4 decades of globe-trotting. I have been hindered by the prolific and negative combat of a particular netter, who continues to flame us privately. I ignore him there too, because I am an implacable foe. In all of this, Gabe Menezes has been a voice of reason and sanity on Goanet, whose contributions continue to inspire and encourage, that there is still hope yet for this particular forum ! I can only wish his detractor the consolation of the resurrection at this Eastertime, for as far as I am concerned, Aluta continua ! Mario responds: Francis/Gary, whoever, Happy Easter to you and your family, which may or may not include people with names like Gary and Raoul, whose connections with you and your posts are still a mystery yet to be unravelled. Why are you and your cabal, which apparently includes Gabe and Santosh, so afraid to mention my name, using euphemisms like this guy, particular netter, etc.? Isn't there a contradiction between your claim of being an implacable foe, and yet being hindered simply by my robust verbal opinions on Goanet? What exactly are you afraid of, other than that I may disagree with you from time to time? Now let's remind Goanetters of some of your recent less than brilliant contributions to this forum, shall we? First, on March 22, you posted a vicious comment that got past the eagle eyed Goanet moderators, titled Goanet] Mindless Bashing: re Portuguese Passports, which was as follows: 'In alio pediculum, in te ricinum non vides !' Question: Have you ever considered a brain - transplant ? 'Argumentam ad ignorantiam !' (end of Francis/Gary comment) You were responding here to my response to a comment by your decent human being, voice of reason, Gabe Menezes, who had intruded into a discussion about Portuguese passports where Gabriel de Figueredo had asked me if I could be called a brown American. Gabe's decent human being, voice of reason addition to Gabriel's question was, May I also add, or if someone called Goveia a third class American, as he can never aspire for the top post of President of the USA, having not been born in the USA. To this I had observed that Gabe could similarly be called a third class citizen of the UK, because he was subject to deportation if caught inciting the Islamo-fascists he apparently supports to violence, and he also could never be head-of-state in the UK as Queen Elizabeth was not his mother. Your contribution to this exchange included no rational comments, only the suggestion that I get a brain transplant. Not very clever. Next, on March 29, you posted a vicious verbal attack titled [Goanet] Mario Gouveia: The nuisance value of a pod, in which you used as your basis a blatant falsehood that I had once posted 70 times on Goanet in a few hours, a falsehood initially posted by the same decent human being, voice of reason, Gabe Menezes, whose reputation you and Santosh are defending above. In that post you also called my comments about my hometown, Jabalpur, appalling. When I asked you to provide some evidence that I had made the 70 posts, and to specify exactly what about my comments about Jabalpur you found appalling, there was no response from you. Not very clever. Next on April 11, in a post titled [Goanet] RE: Goan Independence Party, your not very brilliant nor very intelligent support of some derisive and insulting comments about me by Marlon Menezes was: Awesome, man, s-w-e-e-t ! Right on, dude ! In the absence of any rational facts or opinions, not very clever. On the same day, in a post titled, [Goanet] Yahoo! News Story - New Metro affords a glimpse of a possible India - Yahoo! News you referred to me as Mario Guava, which was the same childish attempt at ridicule that you had copied from Marlon Menezes in his post mentioned above. I think we can see a trend here. You seem to have a gullible tendency that is unable to distinguish between fact and falsehoods by people you

The short answer is-Nothing. The Navy is not some private company from the private sector. It is an integral part of the Ministry of Defence, which, in turn, is a part of the Govt. of India. The Airports Authority of India, which operates the airport civil part, is a part of the Ministry of Civil Aviation, which is another arm of the Govt. of India. It therefore follows that whether the earnings are from the Navy or the AAI, all revenue from Dabolim is revenue for the Govt. of India. This is the same in all airports in India.

When it works, it works fine. Sometimes it doesn't. Before you start wondering what's wrong, check by a process of elimination. Don't start changing your computer's setting. The problem could be elsewhere This evening, after my young techie friend Derek Cordeiro came over to help with rsyncing (copying) files from the desktop to a laptop, the internet suddenly became very slow. That was after his departure, and it left me to wonder whether any settings had been changed Needed to get some files across urgently, and it was too late to phone anyone. Anway, a call to 197 (general telecom enquiries, they've left us without a phone directory for four years!) saw me being redirected to 1957 (internet help desk). Was anything the problem, I asked. He, in turn, asked me if the D-Link ADSL router's lights were blinking. Yes, I said. Power, ADSL and ethernet were steady, while the status light kept blinking. And I mentioned that even pings to www.google.es (supposedly a fast site) were not working. After a moment or two later, and a please-hold-on, the pings started going through speedily, even as the person on the other end asked me some further queries. Something reset somewhere? Moral of the story: next time the interent doesn't work, please ring 1957 and check if there's a problem at there end.

He first acted in Geoge Fernandes of Raias Tiatro Dusman which was according to Jesus a hit in Goa during that time somewhere around 25 years back. From here he was picked up by Menino de Bandar for his record breaking show Succorrine which was staged for 240 times in and outside Goa. While acting in Soccorrine, Jesus Antaos fame went far and wide and immediately he was offered comedy roles in his Plays by the late Goan Shakesphere Dr. Rosario Rodrigues. Then he acted in other directors dramas namely A.M. Pacheco, Rose Ferns, Mike Mehta, Vitorino Pereira, Mario Menezes, Pascoal Rodrigues, Rosario Dias, Jr. Nelson, Christopher Leitao and Maxy Pereira. As a tiatrist performing comedy roles Jesus Antao travelled many parts of India and Gulf namely Pune, Bombay, Mangalore, Orissa, Nagpur, Karwar, Ratnagiri, Malwan, Qatar, Muscat, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Kuwait. Besides acting in Tiatros, comedian Jesus Antao has produced 5 Audio Albums namely Aum MP, Sagvad, Repeat Repeat, Money Order and Holiday. These Albums comprised Songs and Jokes. Additionally, he has also produced 2 VCDs, one Axirvad and the other Bhudvont Jak Inas. Because of his excellence in performing comedy roles, he was awarded by Kala Academy once and honoured and felicitated by number of organizations in Goa and in the Gulf too. While Jesus Antao was on peak of his form, on 15th February 1990 he met with a serious road accident while returning from late night show at Ponda. In this accident he suffered severe head injuries and multiple fractures to the leg and collarbone. For 38 days he was lying in comma at GMC from where he was then shiftwed to Jaslok hospital in Bombay and finally with the grace of God his life was saved. For this recovery he praises God and thanks all his well wishers for their prayers. A. Veronica Fernandes, Kuwait. _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Not that bitter coffee that Goan men have as per our hutton.:=)) After that bright spot, I went to church and celebrated the greatest feast in the Roman Catholic calendar. But even on Easter Sunday, like any other Sunday, my routine followed. It was a quick review of the Sunday newspaper followed by a browse of the cyber Goan posts. Then the honey-do list of chores. For this Sunday it's painting the pillars in the balcao on this bright warm spring day. Not surprisingly the cyber Goan posts has the usual controversies from the extreme right and extreme left. Knowing the authors, most Goenkars - Hindu and Catholic have learnt to give the B B treatment to the sodanchem ayatollahs. My own reaction was let these two guys stew in their own juices and fatwas. After two hours of work, Easter meal will be with our ever-so-broadminded Goan Hindu friends (convent educated), where there will be families of all religions including Parsees. This is our extended family in the Indian Diaspora. Later this evening, we will make our way to a dance at Syracuse, sponsored by USABDA - United States Amateur Ballroom Dancing Association. Happy Easter to All! May the Easter Bunny bring you all many new eggs and new beginnings for the rest of the Catholic calendar which starts today.

--- * G * O * A * N * E * T *** C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * --- USDA certified Goa Sausages and other Goan foods can now be delivered to virtually any part of the world. http://www.goanfoods.com --- Curriculum Vitae Name: GOD Address: Ephesians 1:20 Phone: Romans 10:13 Website: Bible Keywords: GOOD My name is God. They removed one 'O' from the word GOOD to give me my name. (This, just incase my name sounds odd). Many call me 'Lord'. I 'm sending you my CV because I'm seeking the top management position in your heart as I am feeling the heat of unemployment in these recent times. Will appreciate if you should offer me the position so I can make do. Qualifications I founded the earth and established the heavens. Now they want to destroy what I founded and everyone wants to go to heaven. But they have appalling road sense and usually take the wrong bend and reach hell, instead. In Heaven, where I held the job of the manager for as long as I can remember, the occupancy has dropped so low that I have to look for an alternate job. I formed man from the dust of the ground. If anyone tried it again, the result will be toxins, garbage, plastics and what have you with no essential minerals that requires to go in a human body. Those were the good old days. I breathed into man the breath of life. If anyone tried it again, the breath would be full of drugs, liquor, chemicals including a terrible foul smell of nicotine that the body with the new found life would fall flat on its face immediately after taking a few steps. I redeemed man from the curse of the law. That was ages ago. Now man makes his own laws and takes these to his bed to go to sleep with in comfort. The blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant used to come upon man's life through me. Again that was in the distant past. Now a days the blessings rain from Hitler type ideals which have devastated the minds of people who call themselves RSS, who put a rope round the man's neck they call God, drag him and hang him in a place called a RAM TEMPLE and then freak out at his death throes while the hanging one refuses to die. Background I've only had one employer and one job. I was never tardy, absent, disobedient, slothful or disrespectful. My employer had nothing but rave reviews for me. If you should employ me to get me out of my predicament, I wonder if I will last for long in that job if I follow my past. That is why I have been taking tuitions to learn how to cheat, defame, transfer the employer's company and properties to my name and how to throw him into the river over a bridge or burn him alive amongst festival fire-crackers packed in his car and claim that it was a sorry accident. Skills and Work Experiences Some of my past skills and work experiences include: empowering the poor to be poor no more, healing the brokenhearted, setting the captives free, healing the sick, restoring sight to the blind and setting at liberty them that are bruised. However I have tried hard to forget all these things of the good past to practice exactly the opposite of what I used to preach before. I have learnt the tricks to make the poor miserably poor, poison the broken hearted, keep the innocent captives on trumped-up charges, set the criminals free. Bury the sick, blind the seeing, and amputate those that are bruised before they are set free. I was a wonderful counselor. People who listened to me would dwell safely and would not fear the evil. Most importantly, I used to have authority, ability and power to cleanse anyone of their sins. In time, I realized that this is a perfect path for a involuntary suicide. I have now excelled as a counselor who sends people jumping off bridges, make them shoot themselves or to drink rat poison, immediately after a well paid session with me. I put the fear of Myself (God) into them that most of them die in a road accident before reaching home and even if they did, they will spend their nights traumatized that some evil has happened to them. I have now re-validated my qualifications to become authoritarian from being merely the authority, totally useless as against being very able, and I have graduated in Master's degree in Power laundry to clean all types of clothing as against my old trade of cleansing people of their sins. Educational Background I used to encompass the entire breadth and length of knowledge, wisdom and understanding, In me were hidden all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, (See Colossians 2:3). My Word was so powerful; it was described as being a lamp unto your feet and a lamp unto your path, (See Psalms 119:105). I could even tell you

Absolutely nothing! What does that mean? It means that no matter what we do for the Lord, if it isn't done in love, then we've wasted our time. That's something to consider! What is love? How do we really love? Well, God is love (I John 4:8). And how did God show His ultimate love? Through Jesus Christ, and His sacrifice on the cross. In fact, Jesus said that no one has greater love than to lay down one's life for his friends. You might be thinking, When will I be offered the chance to sacrifice my life to save someone else's? But, that's only considering the most extreme scenario! Would you or I go out of our way for someone purely out of love? I mean, really inconvenience ourselves on someone else's behalf. Consistently, without thought given to repayment--or even a thank you required? What a time to focus on love. What a time to focus on Christ! I hope you and your dear family have a blessed Resurrection Sunday. I hope and pray that all of us who lay claim to Christ's promise of salvation will find ourselves renewed and brimming with LOVE for everyone around us. I'll leave you with these words from The Master: Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. - Matthew 22:36-40 I pray that this Easter shall be one filled with love, joy, happiness and spiritual rebirth to each one of us.

[Goanet] Celebrating diversity: KONKAN FRUIT FEST
--- * G * O * A * N * E * T *** C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * --- USDA certified Goa Sausages and other Goan foods can now be delivered to virtually any part of the world. http://www.goanfoods.com --- Celebrating diversity KONKAN FRUIT FEST The KONKAN FRUIT FEST has been held in Panaji city on the traditional first weekend of May for the three consecutive years. It is now time for an encore. It gives one immense satisfaction to see Government agencies, non-government organizations [NGOs], enterprising fruit growers, traders and processors, entrepreneurs and the common citizens working in tandem to promote the fruit crops, their cultivation, processing and marketing along with the technologies to do so scientifically and profitably. The KONKAN FRUIT FEST has gone beyond just mangoes, the pride of the Konkan. It has on display the lesser known fruits like the Central American Zapota that we call chikoo, the Brazilian Cashew that we call Caju, the Peruvian Guava that we rightly call Peru, the Indonesian Java Plum or jamun and India's very own Garcinia or Bhirand/Kokum. Citrus fruits like Pumelo and Sweet limes that remind one of Spain and Japan as well as exotic mangosteens and rambutans, jacks and lakoocha are also there on display. The Corporation of the City of Panaji has continued as the Festival Partner since the inception of the KONKAN FRUIT FEST. In fact, the idea of the Konkan Fruit Fest came from Ashok Mogu Naik, the former Chairman of the erstwhile Panjim Municipal Council and grew with the interaction with Dr.Ajit Shirodkar of the Western Ghats Kokum Foundation and our very own Dr. Heman Y.Karapurkar. As one officer in the Directorate of Agriculture aptly put it, Nothing is impossible for Dr. Karapurkar. Not for nothing did his father not cross the 't' but named him 'He Man' ! The KONKAN FRUIT FEST was started under the chairmanship of Dr. Karapurkar, Chairman of the Biodiversity Board, Goa. In the very first year, the Directorate of Agriculture-Goa and its network of Zonal Agriculture Offices used their extensive farmer contact to boost the competition segment, which is the mainstay of the KONKAN FRUIT FEST. Mr. Waman M. Khade was then the Director of Agriculture. Each of the ten Zonal Agricultural Offices brought in entries from farmers and provided logistical support. There was no 'Yours' and 'Mine' involved. All organizations worked in tandem. It was a TEAM effort with a TEAM spirit: Together Everyone Achieves More!! The participation level is expected to reach a similar level before the current Director, Mr. Ramesh G.Joshi, demits office. The Indian Council for Agricultural Research[ICAR]-Goa Research Centre, Old Goa, has been a pillar of the KONKAN FRUIT FEST since inception. Dr. V.S.Korikantimath has always considered the KONKAN FRUIT FEST to be a home event for ICAR. It has involved Agriculture Universities from the neighbouring states of Karnataka and Maharashtra, too. The Regional Fruit Research Station-Vengurla of the Dr.B.S.Konkan Krishi Vidyapeet-Dapoli has been another pillar of the event. Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidaypeet, Rahuri, which has one of the oldest Agriculture Colleges [at Pune] under its wing, has participated for the first time in 2005. The University of Agricultural Sciences [UAS], Bangalore, joined the University of Agricultural Sciences-Dharwar in participating at the festival last year. The Indian Institute for Horticultural Research[IIHR] Bangalore also came back after a one year gap. The Department of Science and Technology has been actively involved with the Konkan Fruit Fest from its inception. This festival is presented jointly by the Government Agencies, academic institutions, NGOs and entrepreneurs from all over the Konkan region. The Botanical Society of Goa is the facilitator for the event. It is done with the sole purpose of promoting fruits and fruit products of the Konkan so that people continue to cultivate these fruit crops, develop the orchards and achieve a sustainable development paradigm that is complementary to the needs of the growing tourism industry and local environmental needs. It seeks to promote post harvest technology to bring about grading, standardization and also processing of the fruits for sale during off-season as juices, pulp, jams, slices, pickle, wines. Such activities are bound to increase the value of the fruit and the income realization by the producer. It will also generate additional employment. Fruit products have many uses, specially in a major tourist destination like the Konkan and Goa famed for the beaches and natural beauty of its tree- covered hills and valleys. The spice villages have

--- * G * O * A * N * E * T *** C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * --- USDA certified Goa Sausages and other Goan foods can now be delivered to virtually any part of the world. http://www.goanfoods.com --- http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1491066.cms Travel boom flies past some airports G GANAPATHY SUBRAMANIAM TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 2006 12:55:46 AM] NEW DELHI: NEW DELHI: What is common between Jaipur, Srinagar, Khajuraho, Agra, Port Blair, Jaisalmer, Varanasi and Agatti? Though they are all tourist hotspots, the airports they house are in the red. It may sound ironic, especially if you consider the boom in travel during the past couple of years, but the airports at these destinations do not make a single penny by way of profits. What's worse, the civil aviation ministry feels there isn't much scope to turn these facilities profitable unless passenger traffic grows in a big way. Virtually all airports linking key tourist destinations of the country are making losses and the trend covers every part of the country: From Bagdogra in the East, which is the gateway to Darjeeling and Sikkim; to Jaisalmer in the West; and Srinagar up North to Port Blair down South. Red ink also dogs the balance sheets of airports that serve popular destinations like Tirupati and Jammu, which are thronged by lakhs of pilgrims. According to data collated by the ministry, the Varanasi airport lost Rs 14.5 crore during '04-05. Lakhs of tourists, both domestic as well as foreign, visit the holy city every year and the Varanasi airport even had flights connecting Kathmandu, apart from domestic destinations like Delhi and Kolkata, till recently. The airport located at the city of Taj, Agra, lost Rs 4.6 crore during the year. Jaipur, the other point linking the tourist triangle anchored by Delhi, fared far worse with losses of Rs 12.7 crore. The airports at Kullu, Dehradun and Kangra are also in the red. Apart from tourist destinations, a number of airports located at state capitals are also in red. The Patna airport lost nearly Rs 11.9 crore in ' 04-05, while the Bhopal airport lost Rs 8.8 crore. In any case, 116 of the 126 airports managed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) make losses. The Guwahati airport, the gateway to the North-East, is among the list of non-profitable airports with losses of Rs 51 crore, followed by Bhubaneshwar with Rs 14.7 crore, Lucknow (Rs 10.8 crore), Thiruvananthapuram (Rs 4.3 crore), Chandigarh (Rs 2.7 crore) Shimla (Rs 2.6 crore) and Ahmedabad (Rs 1.9 crore). The ministry cites 'very low traffic' as the reason for consistent losses at these airports. The current feeling is that it was 'very difficult' to convert these facilities into profit-making airports. Efforts are now on to cut expenditure at these airports so that losses can at least be curbed. The Safdarjung airport at Delhi, where all flying activity has been banned due to security reasons, lost Rs 7 crore during '04-05. The flight training school located there has been grounded functional as the airport is located near key installations like Parliament, President's Estate and the Prime Minister's residence. The airport at Gaya made losses of Rs 6.4 crore, even though it is a key pilgrimage destination for Buddhists while the Khajuraho airport lost Rs 6.7 crore in '04-05. The Port Blair airport, which is the gateway to the Andaman Nicobar islands, lost Rs 3.5 crore during the year, while the Jammu airport made a loss of Rs 5.5 crore. The Nagpur airport, that is now being converted into a cargo hub, lost Rs 29 crore during '04-05. The Agatti airport, which serves the Lakshadweep islands, made losses to the tune of Rs 13 crore. The 116 loss-making airports of AAI are sustained through the earnings to 10 profitable airports, which include Delhi and Mumbai that are being shifted to private managements now. Some of the loss-making facilities are civilian enclaves run by AAI at defence airports. Among the major losers are Allahabad (Rs 16.1 crore loss during '04-05), Belgaum (Rs 15.8 crore), Silchar (Rs 14.9 crore), Hubli (Rs 13 crore), Agartala (Rs 8.4 crore) Amritsar (Rs 7.5 crore), Mangalore (Rs 6.3 crore), Dibrugarh (Rs 4.1 crore), Udaipur (Rs 4 crore), Raipur (Rs 3.6 crore) and Visakapatnam (Rs 2.7 crore). The ministry is looking at modernisation of many of these airports by AAI under its policy for non-metro airports Anybody have any dope on Dabolim's financials? Is it a loss-making airport or a money maker? What does the Navy earn annually from its operation? Who pays for capex such as runway upgrades etc (if any)? Unfortunately the article above is tantalisingly uninformative on these counts!

Some of us will never take anything against such persons because they think 'it can never happen' and if one day, it comes out to be true, the very same people will now say 'so what ? aren't they human beings like us ?' I like to say to them, yes we all are human beings but some give up or make a vow to God before joining the order that certain things will NOT be the part of their life from now. Despite of the Vow etc, some still practise a normal man's life like sex etc If that's what they really want, I am sure they can leave the order any time and live a normal man's life (Some already done so e.g. Betalbatim and recent being one from Goa-Velha Church). Once they come out from the order, then no one will say any thing about them even if some one sees them in a Q at a cinema theatre for the film 'JISM' or 'PRETTY WOMAN' As you all know, I had aready stopped on this saying 'LET US FORGIVE THEM ALL' but some people provoked me on an open dicussion forum. 'TEMI MOJEA NAKAK DORLEM AND MOJEM TOND UGTTEM ZALEM' Once again I say 'Sorry' to all of you who may have got offended. So, how many negative comments I recieved so far ? Apart from the open forum, I received just two (including the one- someone put under the recent photo/page). Visit the photo link sent earlier and you can read it too. Remember, I could easily delete it, the moment it was posted). However, I also received more of neutral +ve comments. One Question: Seeing my posts of all sorts for all these years etc, did it ever occur to you why I must be doing this where no one dares not to ?? Please think about it. If you have already figured it out, please keep it with you only.
