Re: [Goanet] GDA will back Dabolim as Goa's sole International Airport?
http://www.GOANET.org International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org Dear, Dear, Santana Afonso, I have painstakingly gone through what you have to say. But something tells me that, though you being a real Goan and very sincere at heart, a person who wants to see the good of Goa and al Goans, you are somehow terribly misinformed and as such very naive. Agreed that Churchill Alemao, Babush et al have flunked. Yes, they have. Agreed that Churchill is like a wind sock you see at the end on the runways at airports. It changes its direction as the wind changes. But the only difference is that the wind sock helps the pilots or the air traffic controllers to guide the landings and take-offs of aircrafts loaded with gullible people like us, whereas Churchill will always shift his position to see that the chute that brings the money into the pockets is placed rightly. BTW, if you do not already know, Churchill's SGF is now committed to Digamber Kamat's government, no sooner than Babush made his move in the morning. Besides, he is probably getting a ministership.How DK is going to manage t hat is a million dollar question. Narvekar, Ravi Naik, Digamber Kamat, the whole lot have grown on the same foundation. They all want to fill their own big pockets by fooling us gullible Goans. I have said that 'finance' shouldn't have gone to Narvekar, though I was somewhat ok with Ravi with 'Home'. Since last few days, Narvekar, as the finance minister, seems to have performed a miracle by eliminating the revenue deficit to make Goa the number one state in India to do so. To this I ask just one question. Why now? Why not before? On what basis? The revenue deficit can be wiped out if you reduce the ACTUAL TARGET, meaning, more revenue but much more in the pockets where it does not belong. I am not a financial savy person but when it comes to Narvekar, I just refuse to believe especially with money matters. Ravi was the Chief of the Party as well as a minister for quite some time. He could have stopped the drugs cartel and the foreigner nuisance. It is very difficult to believe that he waited until he landed the Home Ministers job to do so. On the contrary, his black mailing tactics will fetch him much more revenue than any other Minister. I want you to remember just one thing. And you may be hooked on the Congress or the BJP or the NCP or the MGP or the UGDP or whatever. But be sure that you will be stripped off your clothes. These guys are number one cheats. They cheat, they fool the people, they have murdered democracy a thousand years ago. Above all, they have murdered their own conscience ten thousand times when it comes to money. You may or may not believe me. But the fact is that there is only one party in Goa, that too, a fledgling party called the Goa Su-Raj Party which stands the tallest among alll these clowns and ali babas. If you want to convince yourself, do so by all means. Just hit www.goasu-raj.org. BTW I am a product of the Portuguese regime andI was a teenager when the so called liberation took place. I wish I was older then, so I could help stop this so called invasion to liberate Goa. All that has happened is that Goa and Goans have jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

[Goanet] Women fighters from Bambolim battlefield
http://www.GOANET.org International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org August 13 2007 There are many of them but I got to meet only two of them. The first one is grand mother Kalyani Andrade who is engaged in defence of her land against take over by real estate lobby. Here is her picture link: http://www.openspaceforum.net/twiki/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=124 The second one is Teja Hadkondkar. She is an elected member of Bambolim-Talaulim-Curca-Nauxi Panchayat. Here she is actively battling the invaders: http://www.openspaceforum.net/twiki/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=126 These fighters deserves all the support and encouragement. Indeed they are role models for battle on land rights in Goa. And of course they are doing it in the interest on younger generation and generations yet to be born. Here is a child in the middle of the Battle as the builders want to raze down their house. They attempted it once. We all owe answer to this child: http://www.openspaceforum.net/twiki/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=136 This boy's family leaves in a beautiful house at Bambolim coast. They are are targeted and regularly harassed by the goons in uniforms and out of uniforms. Here is the picture of house that builders are preying upon: http://www.openspaceforum.net/twiki/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=129 While I went to support the people there, Aldeia de Goa's security personnel charged at me. They were demanding that I stop filming the injustice to people, rape of nature and transformation of Goa State as rubber stamp of builders and miners. Here is their security chief trying to stop me from filming: http://www.openspaceforum.net/twiki/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=125 And more security personnel was brought in to stop my camera, they could not: http://www.openspaceforum.net/twiki/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=131 New roads being constructed to the Bambolim beach. People's voices are sought to be throttled when they protested against this. Of course 146 acres of land for filthy rich needs new roads. If needed roads can be build over the people's houses, their bed rooms and even their dead bodies in near future: http://www.openspaceforum.net/twiki/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=130 Insult to the planet goes unabated: http://www.openspaceforum.net/twiki/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=139 And there are underground constructions possibly the swimming pools. Of course for those who are to buy their bungalows here at Aldea de Goa at the cost ranging between 0ne to five crore deserve the luxuries of life. Never mind this is going to cause complete disruptions to the lives of people in Bambolim and Nauxi villages : both tribal villages they are going to be erased. In any case Aldea de Goa believes that they have come to be elites with elites of Goa at Dona Paula. http://www.openspaceforum.net/twiki/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=138 And they declare they have all the legal permissions for their rule of 'might is right': http://www.openspaceforum.net/twiki/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=141 And just to remind you again as to who they are: http://www.openspaceforum.net/twiki/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=122 They have plenty of money; for their business is eco-crimes and community rights violations, they pay to chop, over 5000 coconut trees in the past few months. That landlord Sinari and others have no feelings for all this they got their bucks pockets full, secure for all their future generations. Their trickery in getting the land in their possession during Portuguese colonial times and later on in 'free' Goa paid of at last. http://www.openspaceforum.net/twiki/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=133 The meaning of 'Aldeia' in Portuguese means 'village'. What sought of village is this that is being build upon livilihoods of People of Goa? Village whose conception is in rape of nature? Is it a village at all? You be the judge...

http://www.GOANET.org International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org Dear Ashley, Thanks for your email - but with the highest educated CM in the country in IITian Manohar Parrikar, I expect all Goans also to become highly educated to man/manage the industries that overseas foreign direct investment will bring to Goa. We dont expect foreign direct investment to bring in many out- of-state managers or engineers or workers to Goa. If there are qualified Goans available in Goa, there will be no room for out of state managers or engineers or workers. That is why Goan youth should go to college and prepare themselves for the potential opportunities - just flying kites or sinking Kingfisher beers all day will not be enough ! Best Regards, Dr Carmo D'Cruz, Goan, IITian ex Velim, Goa now Indian Harbour Beach, Florida From: "ashley fernandes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Goa To Have Best Qualified Chief Minister Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2007 10:23:39 + Dear Dotor D'Cruz, Manhoar Parrikar as CM is fine but I beg to differ with you that Goa requires industralization development, but do you realise, that do we have the human resources to man the jobs that these ndustries will throw open ? Let us say enough is enough to the Migrants at the cost of the Goan!!! These industries enjoy the tax holiday and then scoot off ...they are all fly by night operators, just the way you come to Goa on your jaunts. The long run consequences of Goa and its people in welcoming all and sundry and by allowing their hearts rule their heads is going to be a very costly investment and ones going to pay the price are the future generations What Goa requires is sustainable development not the shipshod development and playing into the hands of the land mafia, are you trying to tell me that that these politicians love Goa, my foot!!! They are only pissing on your back and telling you its raining!!! Take what they say not with a pinch of salt but with a heap full of salt!!! As for my knowledge the Goan youth have left the shores of Goa to find jobs in the Cayman islands, Americas, Europe, Middle East, Down under and the famous cruise liners. The educated ones like you know where their bread can be buttered and get nostalgic about Goa and pay some lip sevice to the pardise lost. I can for one tell you that the present industries in Verna have provided jobs in the management and labour sectors to people from Karwar, Bihar, Assam, Jaharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, and New Delhi. The sons of the soil can go fly a kite or sink a kingfisher beer!!! So bye for now. with some food for thought. Love, Ashley From: "CARMO DCRUZ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Goa To Have Best Qualified Chief Minister Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2007 04:02:24 -0400 With the BJP staking claim to form the government in Goa, Goa is set to have the best Qualified Chief Minister once again in IITian Engineer Manohar Parrikar. This is significant because having a technocrat as Chief Minister will attract a lot of foreign direct investments to Goa. This will spur industrialization in Goa and redirect foreign investments from places like Pune and Bangalore. Its upto Goans to realize the potential of such a move and capitalize on the situation with an unified front.

Now as you have named me as Bhandare's clone, what should i name you? Well that's not the topic of discussion, but i have been never taught namecalling subject in my school. I didn't know about your school. But namecalling or referring as "clone" of another should be avoided, and responses if any should be pertaining to the topic of discussion. But you too sound like Gabe Menezes interms of labelling others, So are you Gabe's clone or Gabe yours? He too labelled me Bhandari II. Can you please put some light on this matter? ofcourse in co-operation with Gabe(British Servant)..sorry..i just now inherited this labelling art from you, so am i your clone now? About Bhandare, he has been always facing a raw deal for all his posts. Regarding the evidences, well i responded to what was posted on this forum.

I wonder if Rajan Parrikar ever thought about the acute shortage of public toilets in urban Goa. (The sulabh sauchalayas, pay toilets, are a welcome addition, but still inadequate.) In what way is Parrikar's rhetoric any different from Catholic bigotry against (poorer) Hindus who lack acess to sanitation? Or, the Hindu bewilderment with Catholic pig-rearing tendencies (have you heard Shashikala Kakodkar talk in assembly?) The problem doesn't lie with "non-Goan" pee-ers. It lies in our own bigotry, in our inability to frame issues (did someone talk about engineers having tunnel-vision?). and in our lack of a decent sanitation infrastructure. It's very easy to blame others... It's very easy to build paranoia. Can we go beyond it?

[Goanet] GDA will back Dabolim as Goa's sole International Airport?
http://www.GOANET.org International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org I do not believe and do not agree what Churchill Alemao said. Do you believe my brothers and sisters? Last time Churchill Alemao and Babus Monserrate played and crash the government of Manohar Parrikar of BJP, because of Konkani Language issue and promised that they will never support any more to form the government in GOA forever. Now where is the promise...? Open your eyes my brothers and sisters... This is what we all believe and dance with the tune of our corrupt MLAs in Goa. What support YOU and I got from our MLAs? Nothing.. and these MLAs are making money while the sun shines. (make hay while the sun shines). Talking highly about the Dabolim International Airport.. When it will be ready? And why the infrastructure and development work still not started. Almost a year past the airport authority of India had approved Rs. 300 crores for development and infrastructure of the Dabolim International Airport. Why the work is not started? My request to all goan brothers and sister to raise this question with Churchill Alemao, and why he is quiet so far. The answer is in front of everyone, open your eyes, do not sleep, ami goemkars sodanch succegadh. I read during the election time in Goa, the centre said the MOPA Airport work will start soon and already approved. I'm sure, 100% percent that the MOPA Airport work will be starting soon. BJP is trying hard by hook or crook to form the government in Goa. These were the words of L.K. Advani. He and his followers were always say by hook or crook, BJP will form government in any state of India. And this is 100% sure. All the funds they utilized was the funds received during the earthquake in Gujarat when BJP government was in power at the centre. In Gujarat, people lost everything and still what promised to them is not done yet. Do you think in our tiny Goa, government and MLAs are helping all of us? No. not at all, these MLAs are fighting only for themselves and their families. Their intention is only to make MONEY. You and I have to work hard to develop our houses and infrastructure. Look at the roads of Goa, during monsoon season, they all washed away. Hot mix tar roads with the use of Kerosene are all gone and pot holes are seen everywhere. Electricity - these days everywhere we lack of electricity. Why do we have our own electricity in Goa? Since liberation of Goa and till today, we buy electricity from our neighbouring states and why? What a loss of income...? Mineral ore is finished by the non-goans like DEMPO, SALGAOKARs, TIMBLO's, CHOWGULE's etc. They became multi-millionaires in Goa. Do you seen anytime these rich people help our state of Goa? Do they invest anytime for the development and infrastructure of Goa? And the Answer is No. These non-goans are against Goa and wants to destroy it forever. One of their member is now enter in the politics and elected as the member of the Goa's Assembly, wants the portfolio PWD, because mineral ore is getting finished and with PWD portfolio, he will able to make more money what is lost. Everybody is upset the way CM Digamber Kamat had distributed the Portfolio's in his government. As for me I am totally agree with CM Digamber Kamat. Every public is upset the Portfolio of Home Ministry given to Ravi Naik and Finance Ministry given to D. Narvekar. Is there any wrong? No, not all, it is only in Indian Stated these portfolio's are been kept by the CM, but in foreign states it is allocated to other ministers. We have to change the Goan political system. Ban for life and disqualify the MLAs who change side to another for the sake of money. Pass a Bill in the Goa's Assembly that any MLAs can elect on twice and allowed to sit in the Assembly. My humble request to all the citizens of Goa to stand united and punished the MLAs who found guilty and filed a case with Consumer Forum Court.

[Goanet] Not new, Manohar
http://www.GOANET.org International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org Not new, Manohar Yes, it would be very pertinent to ask Manohar Parrikar's reply to the question posed by Minister of Finance Dayanand Narverkar as to where the money is coming from to fund the Goa Democratic Alliance's constant jamborees to the capital. It would also be very pertinent if Manohar Parrikar could answer the list of questions that the Congress has put forward and it would be also important if Manohar would be able to substantiate his arguments with documents, especially with regards the payment for the trips to Delhi. If it is from the BJP party coffers then show the people of Goa but if it is from some other party or perhaps from another MLA show us or even if it is from a private company say a construction company, the people of Goa would appreciate an answer. Because judging by the number of trips, over four till date and where the GDA is staying the so called clean image of the GDA is beginning to tarnish at the edges. There is no denying that people in Goa take whatever Manohar Parrikar is saying with a pinch of salt and that is because he has never stuck to his statements. In 2005 he wanted to finish Babush, now he is joining hands with him. Prior to the elections Manohar Parrikar adamantly stated that the BJP would not tie up with any party. Then why is he cosying up to the Save Goa Front and others. And his assertion that he is doing so because he wants to provide good governance to the people of Goa is something the people of Goa have seen through. Yes, the people of Goa have seen through his moves just as they woke up to his nefarious designs in 2000 when he suddenly pulled the rug from under the Francisco Sardinha government. Then it was the same situation as it is today. Manohar Parrikar in 2000 supported a minority government, today it is coalition of so called like minded people. In 2000, he suddenly withdrew support when Sardinha was in Australia and today Goa watchs's Manohar at his humble best offering the Chief Ministers chair to Churchill Alemao. Then Manohar was all smiles and eager to save the people of Goa from the corrupt Congress, today he is the same white knight in shinning armour. Sadly Manohar the people have seen through this ruse. But if Manohar is determined to impress upon the people of Goa could he answer a few questions. Namely when did this sudden influx of rave parties and under which constituency did it start. Manohar, give Francisco some credit. When Francisco heard of the destruction caused by a private party for the millennium celebrations he stopped it immediately. Did you do the same for the rave parties at Siolim and Anjuna? Did your MLA do anything? What about the migrant problem - can you Manoharbab explain to the people who was responsible for bringing them in? And lastly who wasted a lot of tax payers money on consultants and projects for the International Film Festival of India. Yes, Manoharbab please explain to the people of Goa, did you listen to the people and rescind any decision. No. And this is what the people of Goa will not forget the double standards that are being adopted and they have seen the same tricks being played this time - albeit with different actors in the ring. Bad move How does any organization ever expect to get any work done or for that matter plan any long term project when its commissioners are constantly changed? The recent transfer of Elvis Gomes from the post of commissioner of the Corporation of the City of Panjim is yet another example of short sightedness. Was the Commissioner given sufficient time to plan and implement any of his ideas? Or for that matter was the Commissioner give time to study the problems facing the city and draw up an action plan? Panjim is facing many problems ranging from the disposal of garbage to parking problems. Has the CCP drawn up any plan to solve these problems or will they wait for a new commissioner to come by and wait for his suggestions? With each passing day the problems mount and without a proper person at the helm nothing will be done? And if these musical chairs it is more than obvious that somebody does not want Panjims problems to go away. http://oheraldo.in/node/27395 --- http://www.GOANET.org --- Enjoy Goa cartoonist, Alexyz Fernandes, daily take on contemporary issues www.alexyztoons.com
[Goanet] Immortal Princess
http://www.GOANET.org International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org Dear Goanetters The below appeared in this week's Goan Observer -- Thought i would share with you all -- IMMORTAL PRINCESS ON my strongest recommendation, I recently had a colleague from London visited Goa along with his fiancée. There were many pictures they brought back, and one that stood out was of the Candolim beach, along with the nasty dark black mole on the face of the beach - the River Princess! It has been more than five long years that this ugly princess has been sitting and destroying the scenic beauty of the famous beach. No government, however committed to the aam aadmi, has had the guts to remove it. There have been many tourism ministers and many chief ministers who have come and gone, and nobody has attempted to remove the River Princess in earnest. I remember the old fox, Dr Willy, made many statements and set up record deadlines in the media for the removal of this grounded ship, but all were mere gimmicks to fool the people of Goa. Now the political equation has changed drastically - Anil Salgaocar, the mass polluter of Goa and the man who chartered the River Princess, is in a position to make or break governments and chief ministers. Till date, neither the current Chief Minister nor the Tourism Minister have come out with a strategy to remove the grounded ship. The ship is an eyesore and the government, despite its need to bank on the support of Anil Salgaocar, must come out with a concrete plan to remove this ugly sight from this picturesque Candolim Beach. Also, applause of shame to the Candolim MLA and its Panchayat — You have sold out! And you have been bought over! Cedric da Costa UAE.

Monserrette extended his support to the Congress-led Digamber Kamat government. Monserrette, in his letter to the Governor, said that he is supporting the Congress-led formation to end the 'political instability' in the politically troubled state. The move has provided relief to the Kamat government as its chances of survival strengthened with the Congress camp now holding the support of 20 legislators. The GDA is only left with 19 MLAs in the 40-member Goa Assembly. Kamat-led front has 15 Congress, three NCP, an independent and a UGDP legislator on its side while the GDA has the support of fourteen BJP MLAs, two Save Goa Front, one independent and two MLAs of Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP).

In the olden days there were actually houses built on the bridge. There are many bridges across the Thames but only one that is called London Bridge. It links the City of London to the Southside at London Bridge station, shortly London's tallest building will come up there. I think Joe U.K. deliberately posted Tower Bridge, assuming that half the people would call it 'London Bridge'. The new London Bridge is also shown in the pics; quite nearby there is also Blackfriars Bridge, where Roberto Calvi was found hanging following the collapse of his Banco Ambrosiano, which it was alleged, had links to the Catholic Church. Then there is Waterloo Bridge just further along and the famous Westminster Bridge which is by the Palace of Westminster ( Houses of Parliament). There is also a fairly new built, footbridge which was swaying on completion and had to have dampers put in place to solve the problem! Also shown in the pics.

The sangh parivar which is a great admirer of Hitler and the nazi ideology has also learnt a lot from its propaganda chief Goebells. Goebells used to say that if you repeat a lie a thousand times it becomes the truth. The sangh parivar has used this to great effect in the past. The sangh parivar has also used modern technology to great effect like sending out sms' through the mobile phone network, emails through the internet. The Congress is largely living in the past and has yet to catch up with modern technology. As for the left, their mindset is the greatest barrier to progress. Anyway, if the RSS multplies its good works and gives up its pet agenda of hate and violence, it will be a big blessing for all of us. We can then look forward to nation building and channellise all our energies into productive purposes. Cheers!

If they were, then wouldn't have promptly reached the places of natural disaster, calamities or any other incidents taking places in India, without anyone asking for their help. It just shows the volunteer present in them. Its upto you to name anyone as communal or secular. When they rescue anyone from such calamities, they are least bothered about their caste, religion, nationality...etc..etc... So i cant find any communalism in them looking at their readiness to help out victims. Also i don't want you or anyone to defend RSS, but their voluntary work should not be made a subject of laughter. Secondly, is it the Thumb rule that each and every incident taking place, should get the focus of media or become a part of Headline? Are all incidents published in the newspapers, or are covered on news channels? If some incidents fail get the proper attention of media, do you disagree to what has happened? Is it so? --- http://www.GOANET.org --- Enjoy Goa cartoonist, Alexyz Fernandes, daily take on contemporary issues www.alexyztoons.com ---
Re: [Goanet] RSS rescued 80 christian missionaries in orissa (George Pinto)
http://www.GOANET.org International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org Dear Kamalaksh Chari, It is of course scientifically possible that Mr. Bhandare has been cloned and that you are it, but I will not go there. Let me just say that the two of you sound much alike. I tried to get 90 Christian priests to climb into a single truck, but though I could find a large truck I had trouble rounding up 90 Christian priests who would all be willing to be together at one time. Even telling them it was a wedding/marriage party did not help. However, let us suppose that 90 Christian priests did climb into a truck together to attend a marriage party, and then felt it was safe to go through RSS territory. Surprise! The truck had an accident and 10 of the priests died. Now it is the law in India---has been for some decades---that all deaths should be registered with the proper authorities. Could you or Mr. Bhandare or the RSS or the New Ind Press or whatever please publish the names of those who died, as I would like to inform the next of kin? Your cooperation in this humanitarian enterprise will be greatly appreciated. No doubt the death certificates will also describe the cause of death and the exact location of the accident.

[Goanet] "TAVKULLEACHI RACE" (Race of Cassia Tora)
http://www.GOANET.org International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org Taukullo or Tavkullo or Talkullo (Cassia Tora) is an herb plant which grows abundantly like a weed in our properties in Goa during the months of July and August. In some places, it grows wild, over a meter in height. In Gaumvaddy, wild tavkullo grew in large patches behind late Krishna Porobo's house. It was so big that when school-going children walked through it they could hardly be seen! Just like "Therem" (Colocasia), another herb plant, which also grows everywhere in Goa during the monsoon season and which is used to prepare a vegetable dish, people prepare a vegetable dish of tavkullo. However, there is something very interesting about the tavkullo. During our childhood, we used it in one of our games "Tavkulleachi race" (Race of Cassia Tora). The game was played by two persons. The rule was quite simple: Two boys entered into the race. Each one was required to carry tavkullo leaves at all times, which he had to present when his friend approached him with a bunch of the plant. If he didn't have any leaves to present, his friend would beat him on his legs with the bunch. I was studying in Segundo Grau in Escola Primaria in Anjuna. I was eleven years old. I had entered into "Tavkulleachi race" with Joao Luis (JL) from Kuddchem Bhatt, Anjuna. That particular day, I forgot to carry tavkullo leaves in my pocket/bag. JL caught me unaware and I had to run to a tavkullo plant to pluck a leaf to present it to him. In the meantime, he beat me quite badly on both my legs. I knew I was at fault; I had failed; hence, I kept quiet. After a fortnight, I picked up a matured bunch of "xengancho tavkullo" (cassia tora with sickles), fastened the bunch tightly with a "sutli" (cord), hid it in my bag and approached JL. When I removed the bunch from my bag, JL didn't have any leaves to present; I beat him until both his legs turned bluish. JL finally reached a tavkullo but it was too late. From that day onwards both of us became bitter enemies. Poor JL passed away about five years ago. He died of gangrene. He was employed in Dubai. He had suffered a little cut on one of his toes on the job in Dubai. He was a diabetic patient. He was at his new home in Gaumvaddy. Although my nephew, Dr. Caraciolo aka Dr. Nazareth, called him to the GMC to have the finger chopped off, he didn't listen to him; instead, he went about seeking religious healing, which did not save him. He succumbed to gangrene. May his soul rest in peace! Thats all for now from Doms antique shelf!

[Goanet] Happy Independence day
http://www.GOANET.org International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org Happy Independence day In a place like Goa,money can buy the votes to get elected as M.L.A's,M.P's etc.Money can buy the M.L.A's to form and pull down the government.Money can turn the illegal into legal and vice-versa.Money can be utilized to use the Police to harass the Innocent's if they try to expose the rich and the powerful.Money can buy the kind of jobs one wants although he/she might not be the deserving candidate and so on. Crores of rupees were offered to some of our beloved legislators as per their statements on the local dailies.Who offered them the money?From where the money came from?Are there any authorities to look after such matters?Are there any laws to book the culprits who are involved in such controversies or the same money can be used to solve such controversies? The one time very beautiful state of Goa was ruined and looted like anything.Our Virgin beaches like Palolem,Agonda etc. are miserably raped during day light and some of our beloved power-hungry politicians are talking about saving Goa.There is not much difference between a prostitute and a goan politicians.At least a prostitute has some status but our beloved politicians are son cheap that there is no bad word available in the dictionary which suits them. On the day of our independence these same dirty politicians will hoist our holy tri-colour and we the general public will clap our hands.Let's continue with our behavior and march towards destruction in the name of development.

We Goans had no ethnic or genealogical relationship with the Portuguese. Ours was a purely a socio-political relationship that except for Portuguese citizenship still being offered to Goans, broke off in 1961. We may look back on the pre-1961 era with fondness, but to fool ourselves and our children that we are Luso descendants is utter tripe. Roland.
