Dear Aires I fail to understand what has overtaken your ingenuity. You seem hypnotized to the world of Mr. Parrikar when all have now realised his Art and tactics in politics. I did have high regard for you and I still feel you are an apt person. Talking about the arguments that you have in store about the way Neri was given a chance to defend himself and not the Davliker brothers, one must understand that It's no use giving someone a chance to speak if one already has a prejudiced mind against the other. In Parrikar's case he was already against Neri and was hell bent in disqualifying Neri to win somehow that battle. So givin Neri a chance to defend was of NO consequence at all. It's right enough for the Speaker to use the same yardstick as it was Parrikar himself who started this defense mechanism and no matter how much he cries foul he wont win the battle. And even if he does Goans won't forget it. Regards Arturo

I am always having an argument with Goans from abroad, who refuse to call themselves Indians. I can agree with Goans who have lived during the Portuguese regime and migrated to Portugal/Brazil after liberation. Most of them call themselves Portuguese. I encountered this in Brazil, in Australia, etc. Goans refuse to call themselves Indians and argue with me saying I should call myself Goan and not Indian. Do the Goans in Britain call themselves Britishers even thou they have British passports? Mind you most of the goans I've encountered were not born in Goa, but in some part of India and yet refuse to call themselves Indians.

For R&R; modern/clean amenities; serene, healthy and wholesome location Visit http://www.garcabranca.com for details/booking/confirmation. Indeed sir, you are absolutely right. Goa's political scene is disgusting. It is also agreed that young people with sound moral character must be elected and the existing ones must be consigned to the dust bins. And it is also agreed that these new entrants must not have any party affiliations. What you mean to say is: no affiliations to the Congress, the BJP, the UGDP, the MGP, the NCP, the SGF, all of whom have let Goa and Goans down. But do you know that our Panchayats, our Zilla Parishads, our Municipalities are grooming a lot of young people who will be our next generation politicians?. That these people are actually worst than the politicians and have learnt the tricks of the trade which is to make money by being the chamchas of the politicians?. That most of them do not have any party tags and that they are freelance looters?. [ Example is the Sancoale Panchayat of 11 members, ruled by 6 of Mauvin Godinho's chamchas) Young Lourenco has been elected in Curtorim on the charisma of Churchill Alemao's SGF. He must be of good moral character. Otherwise he would not have been elected. But if he had contested as an 'independent', he would have hit the dust. It is imperative for Goa to elect young people of good moral character. But they must belong to a SYSTEM of governance which is built on GOOD MORAL CHARACTER TOO and spelt out in detail in writing as to how this SYSTEM will work, what this SYSTEM will achieve, what inbuilt safe-guards that this SYSTEM has which will not allow any young person of very good moral character, after getting elected, will not abuse it or take advantage of it. What are the PUNISHMENTS the SYSTEM will dish out in case of such happenings. And foremost, it is imperative to find out WHO are the engineers, authors and propagators of this SYSTEM. Do they themselves can be counted as persons of GOOD MORAL CHARACTER and STANDING? who do not change their stances like the 'WIND SOCK' does, just like Churchill Alemao, Manohar Parrikar, Atanasio Monserrate et al?. Have they proved themselves to assure the people that what they are propagating is what they actually do? And most importantly, have these persons included or will include into the SYSTEM they have designed or will design an ELEMENT OF SELF-SACRIFICE? i.e 'cut their own legs' so to speak? Sir, for your kind information, such a SYSTEM has been put in place some 7 years ago. And it is the GOA SU-RAJ PARTY. We shall give you an example as to what can be expected of this SYSTEM when put to test. This Party sought an electoral alliance with Goa's regional parties for the 2007 elections. Talks broke down with the MGP because it was not ready to put a temporary lid on the MARATHI-KONKNI issue for these elections and go collectively against the national parties on the issue of corruption and communalism. During the first meeting with the UGDP, we made it clear that if UGDP has decided to accept Babush Monserrate back into the party, Goa Su-Raj will not have talks at all and that we will go home. Assurance was given by its Gen. Secretary (Anacleto) that no such proposal was there and we could take it or leave it. At that point Auda Viegas made this point by telling us that we should not put MORALITY on high pedestal. That POLITICS and MORALITY does not mix. That POLITICS is all about contesting elections and winning. To that we asked her the following questions: (1) If UGDP was able to retain its winning candidates with the exception of Mathany Saldanha. (2) What was the use of getting candidates elected if they couldn't be retained. ( She had no answers) Further, we told her that a time has come that POLITICS and MORALITY must come as close together as possible if it cannot entirely merge as one. That what is happening in Goa's politics today is because of her recipe that POLITICS and MORALITY must not mix. At the end on the day, UGDP and Goa Su-Raj had a loose electoral alliance. But this was called off by the Goa Su-Raj Party as soon as Babush Monserrate joined the UGDP. I constested on my Party's ticket in the Aldona Constituency. The fight was between Dayanand Narvekar/Congress, Kunda Chodankar/BJP, Floriano Lobo/ GSRP, Vasudev Haldankar/MGP, Vishwanath Halankar/JD and 4 Independants. Results (votes): Narvekar/ 9251 , Kunda/6217, Floriano/433, MGP/97, JD/103, Fermina Kaunte (IND)/5298 and the rest 57/144&154. In a way all the candidates a

But that happens when there is healthy interaction to find out the plusses and the minusses of the subject in question. About Politics having been reduced to the art of compromise, this is the Bane of India as well as of the world, where in the name of compromise, loot and plunder is shared by con artists who who come to power and the comman man whom our new Chief Minister is fond of calling 'Aam Admi' is the perpetual loser. floriano/goasuraj PS: I am just back from the Press Conference given at the Delmon Hotel in Panjim by the citizens of Sancoale. M-tech Builders from Delhi have compromised with the ruling Panchayat members headed by the lady Sarpanch who is a migrant and Goa's politicians ( read Mauvin Godinho) and bureaucrats to deforest the Green Belt Zone beautiful Sancoale hill to make room for approximately 250 high ended bungalows which are marketted on the Internet already. The ex-sarpanch who asked too many questions is in the lock-up on fabricated charges of molestation.

But I understand that both these fields deal with comparative aspects of religion and ethereal beliefs of primitive cultures, without presuming them to be true. Astrology would fall under this category, as would witchcraft, sorcery and exorcism. The new UGC excuse about providing vocational training at the university level for budding astrologers is interesting. It makes one muse about the possibility of providing university level "education" for other ancient vocations.

Last week you asked a similar question to goanetters. It depends if the 2 sqmts of land you own is yr own (bought with your hard earned poixe and taken pains to grow the coconut trees) or if you have inherited the land from your ancestors.. Now my answer to you is if I inherited the land from my ancestors...I will NEVER sell it...rpt..I will never sell it...cause I know the pains taken by my ancestorsif you are a true goan you will know the hardships they have taken. If the land is brought by me for investment or my children, I wouldnt hesitate to sell it legally to any Indian irrespective of caste, religion. Now pls answer the same but with a slight change...the question is If you are a landowner and you have say 2 sqmts land in bambolim covered with coconut trees and a Muslim builder approches you with a good offer what do you think you should do?

Dear Sirs, I do agree with the comments made by Goa's Expats/Gulf News, I myself am very much disappointed with Goa's politics, especially at Panchayat level. It is so difficult to get form 1&14 in order to raise a house or a building, unless you fill the pockets of the connected people. I had told my lawyer to arrange for it, he told me that he requires Rs.10,000.00 and after three months he says 20,000.00 and the form is delayed now for 6 months, and myself being in Canada, I am unable to guess anything. How is it possible for us to invest our money and make progress? Why is the facility of this form given to the Panchayats? Couldn't it be raised to the higher level like the Mamlatdar's office or anywhere else, to speed up the process? Please forward this mail to Mr.Eduardo Faleiro or anyone else who can solve this matter and facilitate the progress of sons of Goa. Your reply is awaited. Thank you.

For R&R; modern/clean amenities; serene, healthy and wholesome location Visit http://www.garcabranca.com for details/booking/confirmation. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (The Navhind Times) On Political Turmoil - I THE political turmoil witnessed in the last couple of days in Goa, triggered by the withdrawal of support to Mr Digambar Kamat ministry by self-seeking and opportunistic alliance partners is loathsome to say the least. In the recent past Goa's political track record has been abysmal and appalling due to frequent defections and shifting of alliances. People's mandate is being derisively sabotaged and subjugated by iniquitous and devious methods to satiate politicians' own interests. The common man's welfare is gambled on for huge gains and the expected progress of the state remains in a miserable status of dormancy. Such unprincipled politics and the lamentable state of affairs cries for tough legislation including sanctions to arrest politicians from switching loyalties under the pretext of saving Goa and betraying the electorate who elected them on a particular party in which they have reposed their trust. The electorate should exercise their constitutional right not only to cast their sacred vote during election time but also dissuade them from and pull up their representatives in the event of the latter forging unholy alliances which are detrimental to secular traditions and common welfare. T LOBO, Duler On Political Turmoil - II THE recent game plan enacted by out politicians is a stigma on the citizens of Goa who are most respected in India and around the world. Hardly has time gone by since the assembly elections. The indelible ink on the middle finger is yet to go away and the greedy politicians have started their destruction. A small state of Goa can well do with President's rule to flush out these politicians. It's also time to ponder on the two party system for our Country. Perhaps the new President can set this as her goal. A E ZUZARTE, Guirim On Political Turmoil - III SUNDAY, July 29 was the day of intense horse trading and speculation whilst the gods opened up the sky in grief, to add to the tears of the electorate and fears of the elected representatives. The results serves us all right! Public memory is not so short to forget the forgery and disqualification of a MLA by the Bharatiya Janata Party's partial speaker to stay in power. This time it is the Congress dirty tricks department paying them back likewise. The people who vote the same incumbents to power again and again can now only suck their thumbs and pray that we get a stable government or the President takes over the reigns to give everyone a time to stabilise and rethink, whilst the Goa administration can continue progress in sustainable development to lessen the citizens' woes.

Goa MLAs' plea to be heard on August 6 Legal Correspondent "Petitions raised questions of great constitutional and public importance" "Not given copies of disqualification petitions" No opportunity of hearing given to us: MLAs New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear on August 6 petitions filed by two Goa MLAs challenging Speaker Pratapsinh Rane's decision of disallowing them to vote in the floor test in the Assembly on July 30. A three-judge Bench, comprising Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, Justices R.R. Raveendran and Dalveer Bhandari fixed the date following a 'mention' by senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi for early listing of the petitions filed by Pandurang alias Deepak Dhavlikar and Sudin Dhavlikar of the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party. Senior counsel Fali Nariman represented the Speaker. The petitioners said they were questioning the legality of the last minute ex parte interim order of the Speaker on the disqualification petitions presented by Agnel Fernandes, ML A. They alleged that no opportunity of hearing was given to them and they were not even served the copies of the disqualification petitions. Congress MLA Victoria Fernandes, whose resignation was not accepted, was also not allowed to vote. They pointed out that as 'no-confidence motion' was given against the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker by the Goa Democratic Alliance, comprising 20 members, it was obvious that not only the Government but also the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker would have been voted out. Further, even the interim order restraining them from voting was announced just before the floor test began and the motion in favour of Chief Minister Digambar Kamat was declared carried by voice vote by the Speaker. They alleged that the Speaker's action was intended to aid and abet the continuance of a government which had demonstrably lost majority in the House. They said the petitions raised questions of great constitutional and public importance which were fundamental to the governance to the Indian polity and the functioning of democracy and safeguarding the basic structure of the Constitution. They sought a direction to quash the interim order of the Speaker on July 30 and to stay their operation till the disposal of the writ petitions. A direction to the Speaker to produce all papers concerning the disqualification proceedings against them was also sought.

Indian American neurosurgeon donates $20 million to native village New York, July 31 : An Indian American who made millions as a neurosurgeon and lived a lavish life, once owning a Rolls-Royce, five Mercedes-Benzes and an airplane has donated $20 million to his native village in Kerala. Kumar Bahuleyan, 81, who was born to a Dalit familly in India, decided to donate his personal fortune as a gratitude to his village, to establish a neurosurgery hospital, a health clinic and a spa resort in Chemmanakary, in Kottayam district of Kerala. "I was born with nothing; I was educated by the people of that village, and this is what I owe to them," Bahuleyan said in Buffalo where he has lived since 1973. "I'm in a state of nirvana, eternal nirvana," he said. "I have nothing else to achieve in life. This was my goal, to help my people. I can die any time, as a happy man." The urge to do something for his village arose some 20 to 25 years ago, when Bahuleyan returned to Chemmanakary and was struck by how little it had changed. "The village remained absolutely the same - not a road, no school, no water supply, no sanitary facilities," he said. "I looked in the (people's) faces and saw the same people living in the same miserable conditions I had grown up with." Bahuleyan has come full circle: from dire poverty in India, to the lifestyles of the rich in America and back to his native village, where he's traded his Mercedes for a bicycle, The Buffalo News reported. The Indian American doctor lost two younger brothers and a sister to water-borne disease in 1930s. "I was the oldest, feeling very helpless, listening to the screams of these dying children, one by one," he told the paper. "Their cries stuck in my psyche. Even now it haunts me." As a former 'untouchable', belonging to the lowest strata of Hindu society, Bahuleyan had to take a roundabout route to school because he wasn't allowed to pass within a few hundred yards of the Hindu temple. A star student, he went to high school, then a premedical school run by Christian missionaries before attending medical college in Madras, now called Chennai. Later he went to the United Kingdom for neurosurgical training at a college in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he spent six years before returning home. But he couldn't land a job in his specialty. "They (government) didn't know what to do with me," he said. "There was no position available for a neurosurgeon. Many people didn't know what neurosurgery was." So Bahuleyan went to Kingston and then Albany Medical College, before coming to Buffalo in 1973 to work with neurosurgeon Dr. John Zoll. Bahuleyan never saw ice cream until he was in medical college in his early 20s. And he remembers buying his first pair of shoes as a young adult; he put the right shoe on his left foot and realised it didn't fit. During his 26-year career, Bahuleyan served as a clinical associate professor in neurosurgery at the University at Buffalo before retiring in 1999. And he made millions. "I didn't ask for the money," he told The Buffalo News. "The money came to me. My secretary said to me, 'Dr. Bahuleyan, you're making too much money.' I had never had any money. So I went berserk with money." In 1989, he set up the Bahuleyan Charitable Foundation, which built a small clinic in India for young children and pregnant women in 1993 in south India. Bahuleyan's foundation built the Indo-American Hospital Brain and Spine Centre in 1996, starting with 80 beds. None of the facilities carries his name. In 2004, the foundation opened the Kalathil Health Resorts, offering luxury rooms, health spas and exercise rooms. Bahuleyan's latest idea, East India Seven Seas Sailing company, plans to invite applications from Americans willing to spend a few weeks in India, to volunteer in Bahuleyan's hospital and to teach sailing. Bahuleyan, who lives with his wife, pathologist Indira Kartha, spends half the year in the US, the other half in India where he oversees his foundation's work, gets around on a bicycle and still does almost daily surgery. --- IANS Source: http://www.newkerala.com/july.php?action=fullnews&id=50532

I thought members would be interested in the enclosed editorial, that appeared in the August 1 issue. Sachin Phadte. Farce in Goa No words are too strong to condemn the pre-meditated conspiracy to snuff out the last traces of constitutionalism from the precincts of the Goa Assembly. Determined to cling to power by hook or crook, the State Congress leadership, with the active encouragement of their central bosses, overturned all canons of democracy. And thus foiled a fair and objective test of strength on the floor of the House. The Speaker, Pratapsinh Rane, played a stellar role in the conspiracy. He openly colluded with Chief Minister Digambar Kamat to deny the opposition front a certain victory. The two Congress stalwarts in Goa snatched a fraudulent victory from the jaws of a certain defeat when Rane most arbitrarily disallowed three members from voting. Indeed, in his enthusiasm to ensure that Kamat did not lose the test of strength, Rane himself voted with the Government. Only when it dawned on him that the Government did not require his casting vote, since he had already done it a great favour by barring the three members from voting, did he admit his lapse. Now, he said that he `expunged' his own vote cast in favour of the Government. Such tragic\comedic conduct from the Speaker, who is supposed to be custodian of the House, upholder of its dignity, power and privileges, can lead to only one conclusion. Which is that in their quest for power, Congressmen would trample over the Constitution itself. If the leader of the opposition-led front, Manohar Parrikar, has called the farcical vote in the Goa Assembly the `murder of democracy', for once he seemed to be speaking the pure and unvarnished truth. As we wrote in this space on Monday, authoritarianism is in the DNA of the Congress Party. How else would one explain the stout defence offered by the Congress Party spokesman, Abhishek Singhvi. Even while making due allowance for the fact that as a fully paid-up member of the party, which has rewarded him with membership of the Rajya Sabha, Singhvi was expected to bat for the party, yet to defy commonsense in such a brazen manner is unbecoming of a seemingly educated Congress megaphone. A casual reading of the anti-defection law would have sufficed for the self-serving spokesperson to realize that the actions of the Goa Speaker had no legal legs to stand on. Good lawyers even while defending bad briefs take care not to resort to absurd and wholly irrelevant arguments. But as a Congress Party spokesperson, it is not rare for Singhvi to park his legal acumen, nay, even minimum reasoning faculties, in his lawyer's chamber before entering the holy precincts of the AICC. It ought to be recalled that not long ago the great Singhvi had described Rahul Gandhi as ` a born leader.' Without going into minute details of the provisions of the antidefection law, let it be noted that the three members could not be lawfully barred from voting in the test of strength on the pretext that the matter of their disqualification was pending before the Speaker. It is obligatory under the law for the Speaker to examine each complaint after duly following the laid-own due process. In his anxiety to save the Government, the not-so-honourable Speaker most unabashedly short-circuited the due process. Singhvi as a lawyer might not be able to say a word in defence of Rane's action in the light of the existing law, but as the Congress spokesperson he can probably out-Rane Rane. Which is such a shame. For one expects that educated professionals upon entering the `dirty' business of politics would try and steer it towards less dirty alleys. Singhvi only seems to be competing with traditional Congressmen in the `sycophancy and loyalty' department. Rane is a former Congress Chief Minister of Goa. He was a contender for chief ministership last time too but the party high command nominated Kamat for the post. With Kamat finidng himself in soup less than two months after being installed in the `gaddi', Rane might assert his claim yet again to the CM's post. What next? At the time of writing there was no indication of the Governor S. C. Jamir's response to the farce enacted in the Assembly on Monday. If even vaguely he recalls his oath to the Constitution while being sworn in as Governor, Jami

Goa CM apprises Sonia Gandhi on situation in the state 2 Aug 2007, 1235 hrs IST,PTI NEW DELHI: Goa Chief Minister Digamber Kamath on Thursday met Congress president Sonia Gandhi and apprised her of political developments in the state, days after winning the controversial floor test in the state assembly. Kamat, along with a delegation of senior party leaders, explained to Gandhi the constitutional validity of the proceedings of the assembly on Monday when Goa Speaker Pratapsinh Rane had debarred two MGP MLAs and a dissident Congress legislator from voting during the confidence motion. "We explained how the Speaker was well within his authority to take such decisions," AICC Secretary and Goa MP Shantara Naik said after the meeting. AICC General Secretary Margaret Alva, Goa NCP chief Wifred D'Souza, party leaders from the state Fransisco Sardinha and Ramakant Khalap were part of the delegation which met Gandhi. Kamat had a 20-minute meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday during which he briefed him about the entire developments in the state. Congress had earlier come out in strong support of Kamat, saying that the assembly proceedings were conducted according to the Constitution. MGP MLAs Ramkrishna and Pandurang Dhavalikar, who switched loyalties from the Congress to the BJP, had challenged the Speaker's decision to debar from voting during the confidence motion in the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Mumbai needs a fully empowered 'manager' Percy Mistry ...If Mumbai had good governance it would not have the infrastructure deficit it has today. And, the new investments in infrastructure being planned would be wasted if the city's governance deficit were not fixed firstMumbai's becoming a successful IFC will require concerted efforts by the central, state and city levels of government. All three will need to dovetail efforts to transform Mumbai into a city that offers infrastructure, amenities and a quality of civic governance similar to other IFCs. Many commentators and critics see this as 'dreaming' on the part of the High-Powered Expert Committee (HPEC). My response is simple. If Mumbai cannot offer those standards, then the globile (globally mobile) community of professionals, that make IFCs what they are, will choose not to locate in itIt is not easy to create and govern a first world global city in a third world environment. Nor is it impossible. Malaysia has managed to do that with Kuala Lumpur. China has Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai. South Africa has Johannesburg and Cape Town. Brazil has Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Chile has managed to do that with Santiago, and so on. The problems faced in Mumbai are not new. They have been solved by dozens of cities; many in the third world. To accomplish the task of making Mumbai a global city, policymakers may have to consider the short-term perpetration of an inequity quite deliberately, as an investment in the futureA host of PPP solutions, based on user charges, can be rapidly rolled out in order to alleviate infrastructure constraints such as transport, power, water, sewage, drainage and so on. The exorbitant cost of real estate in Mumbai could inhibit its emergence as an IFC. Solving this problem involves repealing the Urban Land Ceiling Act and new thinking on FSIUnlike Delhi, the other metropolitan centres in India are handicapped by not having their own revenue base or autonomous status within our three-tiered structure of governance. Thus they become step-children of state governments that rely on the rural majority vote rather than the urban minority voteMumbai needs a fully empowered if not elected 'manager' for the city, who can be held accountable for everything that goes right or wrong in Mumbai...There is a need in Mumbai to create a fully empowered city government to manage urbanisation with political and financial accountability. International experience suggests that without reforms in the institutional framework for urban governance, central and state level funds directed into urban infrastructure will not have the expected economic and social returns.Municipal governance needs to coalesce under an urban development authority properly accountable to the city's electorate. Municipal services in Mumbai are fragmented across many different corporations, agencies, and local government bodies with conflicting lines of accountabilityTransforming urban infrastructure in Mumbai, therefore, has dimensions of institutional, fiscal, financial and regulatory reform to ensure good governance. Finally, becoming an IFC requires a city to exude genuine cultural tolerance and pluralism. A healthy and hospitable city environment that can attract expatriates requires open-mindedness, good residential facilities, office space, leisure and entertainment facilities catering to international tastes, smooth enrolment processes at good schools, hospitals, colleges, universities and sports clubs accessible to expatriates>> http://www.rediff.com/money/2007/aug/02mumbai.htm

Expats dismayed over state's political uncertainty http://archive.gulfnews.com/articles/07/07/27/10142177.htm By Alaric Gomes and Randolph Barros, Staff Reporters Published: July 26, 2007, 22:52 Dubai: Non-resident Indians from Goa residing in the UAE have lambasted the fall of the Congress-led government in the western state. Most were disgusted with the constant battle for power, defections from parties and dislodging of governments. "Our politicians in Goa are horrible. It looks like the Chief Minister [Digambar Kamat] managed to make at least Rs490 million (Dh 45.5 million) during the 49 days he was in power heading the coalition," Anthony Fernandes, a UAE-based journalist told Gulf News. "It is ironical that the government lasted just 49 days as Indian television channels were showing old clippings of Kamat in the company of Churchill Alemao and Babush Monserrate last night. Goa will never be able to have a stable and steady government as long as the elected members have shady backgrounds," Fernandes stated. "Most of the breakaway MLAs have a gangster track record, or go through the Customs files and see who has got what case registered against him," he added. Liban Dias, a hotel industry executive said, "Politics in Goa is all about making money. Politicians are not concerned about the common man. They exert all their energies into staying in power. If they are not in power, their only focus is to topple the ruling party. It is disgusting" Nandita D'Costa, an advertising account manager had one word to say: "Again!" D'Costa said, "The political situation is so unstable. I don't have any faith in the government. Politicians jump parties at the drop of a hat. Everyone is so fed up." Vivian Silva, a shipping operations manager said: "It is always happening. I don't understand too much of politics, but it is not the right thing to happen as it affects stability and development of the state. They are not humans, they are just politicians like anywhere in the world." "Our politicians are a bunch of jokers. They have learnt to circumvent the system and the ones to suffer are the people of Goa," said Shirley Carneiro, a senior banker. "If they were genuinely interested in the welfare of the people then they would have opted for a government that is stable so that there is all-round development and prosperity. Our politicians are only interested in making money at the cost of the ones who vote for them," she added. Tony Fernandes, a promotions executive said: "The situation has gone from bad to worse. These politicians only want money and power. They are not bothered about the electorate."

Goas is not only Indias renowned tourist destination but has now gained notoriety for being Indias laboratory for political experiments. It was one such experiment that was carried out on July 30 at the Legislative Assembly, which has brought Goa acute disrepute. Speaker Pratapsingh Rane by conducting the legislative business in the most improper, unconstitutional and illegal manner created history of sorts in Indias parliamentary and legislative history. A Speaker has to follow legislative rules and procedures and cannot conduct himself the very partisan way Pratapsingh Rane did to save his partys government from collapsing. Ranes tactic and bad manoeuvre to achieve the devious goal by subverting the provisions of legislative business cannot be condoned. The principles of natural justice were thrown to the bins by not even giving the Dhavlikar brothers an audience before restraining them from voting. This case cannot be placed on par with the earlier case of the Velim MLA because Filipe Neri Rodrigues was given two hearings before the order was then passed. The three decades of Mr. Ranes legislative assembly experience bit the dust by what he did on July 30th. Such conduct was not expected from a person who has had vast legislative experience as Chief Minister, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly and even Leader of the Opposition. It is only Mr. Rane who would know in what frame of mind he was when he murdered democracy on July 30th and under whose duress he put the democratic process to sleep. All we know is that just a few weeks ago Mr. Pratapsingh Rane was unanimously elected as Speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly and that it was due to the lobbying of Mr. Sudin Dhavlikar that Mr. Rane became Chief Minister the last time around. So how could Mr. Rane stoop so low and commit such a blatant illegality on his family friends, the Dhavlikars. After a mere glance of the legislative proceedings of July 30th it is the common mans perception and opinion that Mr. Pratapsinghs Rane conduct was a disgrace, most undemocratic, an a assault on democracy that will not stand legal scrutiny. The Courts will now decide whether the acts and actions of Mr. Pratapsingh Rane were in accordance with parliamentary procedures.

[Goanet] Today's reflections - Jesus and you

Jesus has said "I am the vine -you are my branches- what does this really mean? you have to really think about this phrase very deeply. Literary imagine that you are the branch of a tree. you are joined together to the main stem and not only that you are helping the main stem in photosythesis and getting the nourishment from the main stem. If the main stem is cut tree will die and what will happen to the branches they will die. We cannot live without Jesus. Your heart and his heart must be one.Infact both of you (Jesus and you ) should have one heart. How is the main stem? strong in mind and body-the main stem is the truth. he would call spade a spade- not be blown by wind---be carried by the worldly aroma. Loving and caring. He loved humanity that he was prepared to die for you and me. Why did he die -to fight for truth. He died because he wanted to save us and show us the way to the Father. I am the truth, the way and the life who ever wants to come to my Father should come to me. Many times we become the patriachs of sorrow. We allow sorrow to be embedded into our sytem and we get drowned into the sorrow making our life hell on earth. We become desperate and sometimes ruin ourselves as depressed person. We weep, we mourn and allow ourselves to be destroyed by earthly things that we want to posses as a result we become a sick person. Happiness would have been dawned into our lives only we had to remember the words of our saviour -I am the truth the way and the life-whoever wants to come to my Father should come to me. What does the Father want to give us ? - Happiness first in this world then in the next world close to Him. But instead of first making this world a happy place we look at the new moon instead of waiting for the full moon. The full moon is fully bloomed and it brightens a very dark night. You can see everything bright and beautiful whereas the newmoon brings darkness in our life. Even what can be brightened is darkened. The little light in your hand becomes useless. wait for Jesus.

Hi Eddie et all,
Right you are! It was a repeat ('cucumber season' on the networks, as we
call it in the Netherlands) of "Des racines et des ailes". Thanks for all
the details! And if it's easy for you - and only if - and you could put
the thing on a disk & send it to me, that would be fun (for other Goa-fans
over here). Compensation will be given in herring, Gouda cheese, or
genever - as prefered ;-)
I might add two things to my post:
- the correct Hungarian spoof-parole is "Borneo and Celebes are Hungarian,
etc.", not Timor... (a Lusostalgia slip, no doubt...;-)
- there was also an appearance of young Salgoakar in the docu, him too
claiming & praising Portuguese cultural roots, which might appear mildly
surprising.
cheers, patrizio and Dnooos!

I just tried to convince you that it was false and misleading regarding Modi's visa, it happened because influential evangelists in the US pressurised Bush to do it Many other leaders like sadhvi Rithambara who are far more extremist in their views have been visitng US on regular basis without any problem Even taliban officials have been given visas to visit US Anyways I only wish that you are more objective in your assessment of ideologies that you dont agree with and look for the good part rather than just dismiss them outright Afterall isnt politics the art of compromise? It might be very interesting for you to know that NCP of sharad pawar which is certified as secular is sharing power with Shiv Sena in Pune Municipality to keep the congress out Shiv Sena is also sharing power in malegaon with an organization of muslim Maulvis -bhandare Be a better Heartthrob.

Dear Santosh: The point i was truying to make was that the press was dishonest and purposely created confusion in order to discredit the BJP. That being said , i think it is illogical to expect every thing to pass the " scientific or not " test especially if something is classified as art while we are at it , has anyone proven scientifically the claim that music is entertaining? yet we teach music , dont we? Astrology which i believe is more of a psychological and interpersonal counselling kind of thing can only be evaluated by how it meets the needs of its individual clients ,both psychologically and emotionally much like religion (which incidently is hogwash for many too) The measure of the success of astrology should be gauged by how many people actually avail those services and not by any scientific method Onc again i am just trying to play Fred here, by trying to present a counterview... -bhandare PS: as regards Kevins question I think santosh was trying to say that astology is equally pertinent to anthropology and theology as would be witchcraft, socery, exorcism,etc.? i am sure Santosh does believe that anthropology is much more legitimate and useful course of study than astrology Shape Yahoo! in your own image.
