In addition, you have a history of being unwilling to answer simple questions. When other Goanetters return the favour, you start crying for rules. Do you now see how this is very very different from discussing ideas? The short answer is no. As far as I am concerned, more rules only serve to stifle discussions. Discussions, IMHO, lead to ideas.

--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Goanet mourns the passing of Jorge de Abreu Noronha in Portugal - Nov 27/07 http://tinyurl.com/2dk2bl http://tinyurl.com/29kpdx --- XAVIER'S NEWS FEATURES E-SERVICE (XNFES) What you do is what defines you. The third two-day Commerce Fest ARENA, organized by the Department of Commerce of St. Xavier's College, is all set to take off on 5th December, 2007, in the College Campus. Arena 2007-2008 has as its central theme, What you do is what defines you. The main purpose of the fest is to inculcate a spirit of teamwork, enthusiasm and competition amongst Commerce students in order to prepare them to face the dynamic corporate environment. The first competition will be the NUMERO UNO. In today's fast paced, aggressive corporate world, every company vies to be the best in its field. However, to succeed in business, one needs intelligence and a good personality to back it up. Hence, this event is a test of the participants' skills to achieve success. Numero Uno goes along the lines of the CAT examination. WIZARD OF ADS gives the participants a platform to showcase their skills in the field of advertising. Creativity and innovative thinking are the prime requirements for success. In NOUVELLE AVENTURE participants have to conceptualize, present and convince a panel of venture capitalists about an innovative business idea for a product or a serivce that wuold be economically and practically viable. BRAIN DRAIN is a straight forward even testing knowledge on various commerce related aspects ranging from general knowledge to CEO to mergers. It consists of two round, an initial eliminatory written round followed by a three tiered finale. NEWSPAPER puts the participants in the drivers' seat allowing them to construct an ideal newspaper of their choice keeping in mind current events, good taste and strong commercial skills. PRINT AD tests the participants' capability to market a product and to make a favourable and lasting impression on the judge. MODEL MAKING is a competition based on the Boston Consultancy Group Matrix. The main aim of this event is to conceptualize the given theory. COAT OF ARMS is an event which provides a platform for demonstrating the requirements for success through the designing of a logo. A logo is a form of communication and companies are often recognized more by their logo, than by their name. STOCK SHOCK is based on the traditional trading scenario of the stock market. This provides an opportunity t o the participants to prove themselves in share trading. The overall winners of ARENA 2006-2007, last year were St. Aloysius College, Mangalore. The College wishes to expose students to higher levels of competition and help them realize what is expected of their performance in relation to modern day trade commerce. This indeed can be the foundation for students to scale greater heights in future.

[Goanet] SEZ-ek PEZ: Sogllich MALIS Astana! [HERALD Report]
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Goanet mourns the passing of Jorge de Abreu Noronha in Portugal - Nov 27/07 http://tinyurl.com/2dk2bl http://tinyurl.com/29kpdx --- Students pledge to fight unitedly against SEZs BY HERALD REPORTER PANJIM, NOV 30 – Close to 200 college-going students marched the streets of Panjim Friday afternoon shouting slogans against SEZs and later pledged to fight unitedly against the setting up of the zones. The rally organised under the banner of Youth For Goa took off from the Panjim Bus Stand and after a one-hour march culminated at the Azad Maidan where YFG Convenor Malisa Simoes and other students spoke. Simoes, who pelted out the ill-effects of the zones, appealed to the State Government to scrap all SEZs, including the two notified ones. Durgadas Kamath of All Goa Students Forum, Clifton Campos of Saraswat College and Geeta Joshi also chided the Government on SEZs. They all reiterated in unison that the Government was riding piggy back on them to sell Goa in the name of employment to youth. Simoes' speech was keenly heard by ex-Cortalim MLA Matanhy Saldanha, who is strongly opposing the SEZs with the support of the BJP. Saldanha was seen standing at the gate of the Azad Maidan close to Café Prakash. Advocate Aires Rodrigues and Soter D'Souza, who like Matanhy are strong opponents of SEZs, also made their presence felt on the fringes of the maidan (ground) to give moral support to the youngsters. The rally, which was expected to draw more number of students, however, lacked the firepower with just close to 200 of them gathered on the historic ground which can accommodate 6,000 people. The poor number today reflects on the fall out of some core members or crucial leaders of YFG having clout over a sizeable number of students, who chose to stay away fearing the presence of some students having political affiliations. These members resigned from YFG in a late-night development after differences cropped up with their convenor, who, today, at the fag end made a statement stating that the movement was not politically motivated. Simoes asserted that vested interests were spreading rumours with an intention to destroy the movement. We are not politicians, we are the youth of Goa fighting to protect our land, the statement read. Meanwhile, two of the core group members, said they decided they wanted absolutely nothing to do with any political or politically affiliated group. We started this movement for the love of Goa and not anything else, they stated. It is learnt that some of those closely working with YFG have received threatening calls and a police complaint in this regard would be filed soon.

For sure! You will read the below mentioned e-mail. But after reading, ponder over its serious contents. And, please do not ignore it. And, bear in mind. December 1st is marked as WORLD AIDS DAY. A day dedicated to reflect upon the dreaded disease. Also, note that I have intentionally refrained form giving out the names, places and other matter that is not worth reading Dear Bab Lino, I love your e-column Aitaracheo Kaskutleo I am XXX and I hail form YYY place in Goa. I run my own small business in Dubai for the past several years. I am an auto-technician and I have an auto garage with four workers. Due to the nature of my business a lot of money roll in my hands day in and day out. I am married and have two children a girl and boy. Both are studying in Goa and my wife too is in Goa with my children. I am so obsessed with my work that it is almost my religion. I work assiduously to make my living. I open my garage at 6.00 a.m., even before my workers report for duty. And, I close my garage around 11.00 pm or 12 midnight. My single bedroom flat is adjacent to my garage. My family joins me during the school vacations in Goa. Otherwise, I live alone in my flat. Before dinner I go in for two or three large ones of whisky. I am nor used to socialize at parties, dances, picnics, or dramas. But I love to go online on net to have a peep at the Goan newspapers. Last year, a very good and close buddy of mine landed in Dubai from Kuwait. I picked him up from the hotel he was staying and brought him to my flat. Being good old friends, we joked, we laughed and cheered with drinks. All of a sudden my friend expressed a desire to see the night life of Dubai. I never visited a night club but, being a bosom friend and not to hurt his feelings, we both visited a night club. Once inside the club I came across a female college mate of mine who was studying with me in Goa. She was employed in the night club as an entertainer. Although a bit tipsy yet, I was in my senses when I gave her my business card. And lo! The next day she was already at the threshold of my flat. And then followed my extra marital affairs with her every week. I turned out to be an unfaithful husband. And recently, to my horror I found out that she was infected with the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and also her partners who have had sexual relations with her. It is a fact that most Indians working beyond the shores of India are victims of AIDS. Therefore, the Government of India are will soon enact a legislation to make mandatory/voluntary tests for HIV for all those entering into marriage bonds. Here is my fond request to you to warn our Goan brothers and sister through the columns of your Aitaracheo Kaskutleo about the dangers of illicit sex without taking preventative measures. Yours faithfully XXX I replied to this e-mail with the following query. Dear XXX You did not reveal whether you have been infected with AIDS after having sex with your female friend. And he was swift in his reply. NO!!! I made good use of condoms Lino B.

[Goanet] One-third of developed population ignorant of HIV/AIDS
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Goanet mourns the passing of Jorge de Abreu Noronha in Portugal - Nov 27/07 http://tinyurl.com/2dk2bl http://tinyurl.com/29kpdx --- One in three people in the world's major industrialised countries know little or nothing about the deadly HIV/AIDS pandemic and 25 per cent believe that the problem has been greatly exaggerated by the media, a poll said. The survey conducted by global polling firm Ipsos, however, found that 44 per cent respondents, including 50 per cent in the US, are prepared to pay more taxes to combat the disease. The disease is estimated to have killed 28 million people in last 26 years. The Global AIDS Attitudes Survey, published by the non-governmental organization World Vision, reveals the awareness and attitudes of populations in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US, all members of the Group of Eight industrialized nations, towards those affected by HIV and AIDS globally. Speaking at the launch of the survey on Thursday, the Director of the Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), Bunmi Makinwa underlined that the more we understand the epidemic, the better we can make policies. Among the main findings of the Survey is that the more people know about HIV and AIDS globally, the more concerned they are about the issue and the more compassionate they are towards those directly affected by it. The World Vision Index of Concern, a tool for understanding the level of concern each country feels towards the issue, finds that Canada leads the seven nations surveyed for the highest level of empathy its residents feel toward those affected by HIV and AIDS globally, with Japan ranking last. The others in order are France, Germany, US, Italy and UK. In addition, concern about HIV and AIDS globally is on par with the war in Iraq. But poverty and hunger, climate change, and terrorism are of greater concern to people than HIV and AIDS or the Iraq war. After more than 25 years more than a quarter of a century of news coverage, education and prevention work, about one third of the people that we surveyed in the seven countries for the report admit that they know little or nothing about AIDS, one in three in the wealthiest nations in the world, said Richard Stearns, President of World Vision. In the United States that represents about 70 million adults that say they know little or nothing about HIV and AIDS or its impact, he added. Noting that the Survey does contain some element of hope, he pointed out that 80 per cent of people believed their governments should do much more to help children who are orphaned by AIDS and AIDS-related illnesses. Another astounding statistic is that 9 out of 10 people surveyed believed that the global community has a moral obligation to respond to the AIDS crisis, he said. As to why so many people admit to knowing little or nothing about the problem, he said the answer is simple. For those millions of people the disease HIV is simply not real. It is not personal. It is somebody else's problem and somebody else's disease, and very often in a place very, very far away and remote from their everyday lives. In response, the challenge is to make HIV/AIDS more real to the public, to put a face on the disease that kills 2.1 million people every year. AIDS will only become real, it will only become important when we see past the statistics, he stated.

Hopefully sometime before the sun expands into a red giant? The current govt is content to keep the extant Abhiyan not out and mostly at the non striker's end. For the govt knows fully well that these piranha have no teeth. The GBA's favourite past-time seems to be issuing asseverations that it is apolitical while simultaneously acting as the official certifier of who is and who is not political. That the GBA's repeated claim of being apolitical was no more than a pinch of coonsh*t was demonstrated rather dramatically the other day when its south Goa co-convenor, the secular Shridhar Kamat, was shown to be a Congress proxy and Digu's factotum. Now we have the same rubbish going around: GMAS is political, GMAS is BJP in disguise, GMAS is this, GMAS is that. But why lookest thou on the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, but observest not the beam that is in thine eye? (that's Shri Jesus, by the way). Thumping repeatedly on the word apolitical does not make you (us for the GBA is us) so. There is a perception in some quarters, not without merit, that most elements within the GBA are Congress-leaning and anti-BJP. Nobody expects anyone to relinquish one's fundamental right to political affiliation. But the charge goes further: that political leanings of the GBA leaders translate into policy, where actions are calculated to not damage the Congress and provide BJP with an advantage. I am now convinced that GBA's assertions of it being apolitical are hogwash. Perhaps there are a couple of GBA members (Miguel, for instance) who truly wish to hew to this sentiment, but they are outnumbered. The GMAS has one virtue the GBA doesn't: it is exactly what it says it is. A medley of political and non-political organizations. As the largest party in the opposition it is but natural that the BJP will have a significant presence within GMAS. At any rate, with the back-and-forth internecine sniping we have witnessed in the past few days (perhaps even on Goanet) we will destroy ourselves much before we come within driving distance of our common enemies.

Most certainly, Not only I but also any right thinking Goan should be concerned about non-Goans buying up the neighbourhood and all available real estate in sight. But then there are many reasons for this. One needs to look into the past. Goa has always been a favourite port of call for many a people. It started in ancient days when the Aryans, Phoenicians, Arabs, Portuguese, Dutch, Moghuls and now laterly all kinds of people who have and are still visiting Goa. Many of these settled down in Goa, while some of them conquered her. Then came the waves of migration of ur own people to the Middle East, Africa and later on the Western World. This left a vacuum (nature abhorrs a vacuum) and resulted in migration from Maharashtra, Karnataka other States of the Union. Hence over the years, Goa has proved to be an irresistable magnet. Financially, too, Goa is also an interesting proposition. With the tourist and building booms, and the upswing in the economy, People with black money find it easy to buy up real estate in Goa. I was once present with a delegation that met Mr. Ramakant Khalap, the then Deputy CM in Churchill Alemao's Cabinet. We were lobing forsome land to put up a camping centre for scouts and gudes. He point blankly told us that we would have to buy it. When we complained about the high rates, he told us (at that time) that prime property in Goa was Rs. 1000/- per sq. m., but in places like Bombay or Delhi it was the same amount per sq. ft. (i.e. 10 times more!), so what were we grumbling about? Again it is the nexus between politicians and the black money holders that makes these things happen. -- Tony de Sa Ph: +91 832 2470148 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] M: +91 9975 162 897

Re: [Goanet] One-third of developed population ignorant of HIV/AIDS
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Goanet mourns the passing of Jorge de Abreu Noronha in Portugal - Nov 27/07 http://tinyurl.com/2dk2bl http://tinyurl.com/29kpdx --- Nice to see this subject brought up again, thank you Mr Lopes. I had read on this forum about a young boy who had been infected by AIDS (as opposed to the HIV virus) by eating pineapple from a vendor in Goa who was discovered to have AIDS. When I questioned this and sought more information about this, I received a couple of rebukes from Goanetters who said this subject had been discussed previously and lots of comments were posted on the forum. Since coming onto this forum I have not seen anything relating to the HIV virus, nor the AIDS which developed later, its prevention or any official figures, until I got in touch with a bona fide agency which deals with HIV AIDS and when I reiterated the story to them, they said it was impossible to catch HIV virus from a pineapple because once the infected blood had left the body, the virus would die. On this forum I received two private emails which congratulated me for passing on this info one who sent in a public notice that nobody was basically interested in the subject because it was already discussed. I am however pleased you have taken the time made the effort to bring the subject up again, I dont think the subject should be left in the archives it is important that the subject of HIV infection (and its prevention) is made public on a regular basis, for this type of disease is not openly discussed in Goan families as often, if at all. Of course in Indian most European countries, the subject appears to be taboo. Its no good just telling single people to pop on a condom and all will be well. Two things come to mind when this is said, one is that it will increase promiscuity secondly it makes people lethargic will not worry too much about the other ways in which HIV can be transmitted. A woman cannot pop on a condom (unless its on the man she is with). Therefore if she is infected the they do not have intercourse but have other sexual relations which transfer bodily fluids this can infect the partner. Its about education and I recommend to everyone, and as a father of two girls I have stressed that EDUCATION in all aspects of this disease be made public to EVERYONE who may be at puberty or just before, when they also learn about sex itself. Dont leave it too late please. Education is only way forward. Go to genuine websites get the info, email the organisations like Terrence Higgins Trust (in the UK), who will be pleased to send you more information or recommend for you. Dont listen to quacks who can cure you with a mixture of cow dung mixed with honey which they rub on your belly button, or as in some African states that the witch doctors say to HIV men who have been diagnosed in their last stages of live, to have sex with a baby will cure you. Yes, pretty disgusting, but the rape of young girls babies of both sexes endure this atrocity, it is quite common there and it revolts us to know that a witch doctor recommends this as a cure! THERE IS NO CURE YET. BUT THERE ARE WAYS OF PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF HIV. If you suspect yourself, your partner or someone in the family, or friends may have had unprotected sex with someone who is not your common partner, then the only solution is to go for a test to find out. What to do afterwards it also recommended by the HIV AIDS organisations. Lastly please remember, you cannot catch the HIV virus by drinking from the same cup as an HIV positive person has used, you can use the same cutlery plates (but common sense tells us for hygiene purposes, and cross contamination of OTHER types of viruses, such as e. coli or salmonella etc, to WASH all crockery and cutlery ANYWAY), but if you used the same items, even the toilet seat, you WILL NOT catch the disease. WHY? Because the HIV virus, which leads to AIDS cannot survive outside the body, not even on a pineapple. It can however enter through broken skin, but you have to place the virus directly into the cut to get a chance of passing it on, there is NO RECORD in its 30yr history where infected food has passed on the virus to another living human being. Dont be scared, just be cautious. And thanks again Mr Lpes for bringing some extra sanity to this forum. Oh by the way, excuse me for cutting and summarising your post, I have been told by the moderators that I must not send in the previous post in full, as it takes up bandwidth. I have had several of my posts deleted
[Goanet] IFFI: Sun, sand and some seriousness (Saibal Chatterjee)
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Goanet mourns the passing of Jorge de Abreu Noronha in Portugal - Nov 27/07 http://tinyurl.com/2dk2bl http://tinyurl.com/29kpdx --- http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/quickiearticleshow/msid-2587924.cms IFFI: Sun, sand and some seriousness CommentMail to friend By: Saibal Chatterjee, TNN Indian cinema - indeed India itself - has changed beyond recognition. But the nation's official international film festival, an embodiment of immutability, continues to cling on to the past. The more the world changes the more the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) remains the same. The ongoing 38 th edition of the IFFI, in its fourth straight year in Goa, is no different from what the 25 th or the 26 th IFFI were. It was a drab sarkari event and it still is a dreary sarkari event. Bureaucracy reigns supreme. The festival bumbles along from one crisis to another, one controversy to another. But should we write off the annual event as a dead loss? Certainly not, especially when IFFI has managed this year to miraculously pull itself back from the brink of redundancy by going back to the basics. When the festival was first held in the Nehruvian era, it was envisaged as a bridge between Indian films and the best of world cinema. Gloss and glamour weren't what the founding fathers of the film festival were looking for. Had that been the case, IFFI this year would have showcased Farah Khan's blockbuster Om Shanti Om rather than an otherwise impossible-to- access Manipuri or Assamese film. There are only two Hindi films in the Indian Panorama this year. Neither of them has any Bollywood leanings. Bhavna Talwar's Dharm and Sameer Hanchate's Gafla, both provide a take on issues of social import. They may not be earth-shatteringly outstanding pieces of cinema, but they are, for all they are worth, rooted in reality and have something to say about the world around them. That, let's face it, is no mean feat these days and deserves to be feted. One is happy to report that IFFI has put programming back where it belongs - at the very centre of the festival. The greatest thing that Neelam Kapur, the current IFFI director, and her team have done is to keep mainstream Bollywood away. That has helped IFFI reclaim its tag as a pure film festival, devoted to celebrating the medium rather than just the stars who parade across the screen. The 38 th IFFI hasn't been just another starstudded show, where Bollywood starlets get to grab their 15 minutes of fame, as they had done during the first three years of the film festival's life in Goa. With the carnival spirit at low ebb, the festival, despite the chaos and mismanagement that interminably plague it, has once again turned into an opportunity for avid film watchers to savour quality cinema in peace and exchange notes with others of their ilk. IFFI is definitely improving, master filmmaker Adoor Gopalakrishnan told this correspondent during the course of an informal conversation. The challenge now will lie in fulfilling the expectation of further improvement in the years ahead. Coming from Adoor, a staunch opponent of the Bollywoodisation of IFFI and of the move to reduce the festival to a tourism event, the approbation carries immense weight. Festival director Neelam Kapur insists that the IFFI programming this year is of the highest order. It's as fine a line-up as any, she says. Sadly, the media makes the festival seem much worse than it actually is. She may actually be right. The electronic media has indeed sought to dismiss the latest edition of the festival as a flop show simply because Bollywood stars haven't descended on the venue. But no festival that brings together the latest works of directors like Bille August, Aki Kaurismaki and Alain Corneau, among others , besides presenting mini retrospectives of Ingmar Bergman and Volker Schlondorff can ever be a waste of time for those who have a passion of true cinema. Some locals in the know admit that while Goa may be about fun, football and fenni, films are furthest from the people's minds. In other words, the state doesn't have an entrenched cinema culture. But why should that bother anybody? When the Cannes Film Festival began its journey 60 years ago, the town that hosts it was a nondescript fishing port. Today, Cannes is where the world goes to fish for the biggest movie deals. There is no reason to believe that Goa can't be developed into a major film festival venue. Goa is a great place for a film festival, says Adoor. The weather is great, the people are wonderful and the ambience is getting better by the day. But he feels that the programming needs to improve drastically. There was a

GOAN BUSINESSMEN-2 By Valmiki Faleiro Pedro Paulo de Souza was a legend in his lifetime. He monopolized imports of tobacco to Goa. The Portuguese had brought the tobacco plant to India from the Americas in 1560. Goa’s soil was unsuitable, so it was grown on the plains of the Deccan Plateau. But, like some other plant species the Portuguese brought from various corners of the globe – that were propagated by Garcia de Orta in his gardens in the ‘Praças de Norte’ (colonies around Bombay) – India-grown tobacco could not match world standards. Pedro Paulo (PP) imported the best of Brazilian and Virginian tobacco. PP was a thin, tall but sprightly man who traveled, as the more adventurous did those days – the late 19th century – on horseback. The story of how he built a vast land-estate is amazing. I heard it from Goa’s Senior Counsel, Adv. Manohar Usgaonkar, during the course of a professional consultation. Usgaonkar has a prodigious memory. What he recalled from his childhood helped his clients, and us, solve a mystery. Together with a friend, Jyoti Konkar, I was buying a property from Melita Pinto do Rosario and her husband, Fernando, of Porvorim. Melita was PP’s granddaughter. The land, where Nestle’s KitKat factory stands today in Usgao, admeasured some 1,78,000 sq. metres. It comprised of several erstwhile comunidade leases (‘Aforamentos.’) Problem was the sum area of the leases fell short by some 25,000 m2 of the property’s aggregate area. Hence the meeting with Usgaonkar, the Vendors’ advocate. He told us the story of Pedro Paulo and suggested we search the comunidade Register of Leases, armed with a list of names of PP’s close relatives. The mystery soon unraveled. PP, it seems, had a plan, a dream. From the moment his horse set out from his house in Aldona, for the weekly market in Ponda, he wanted it to trot all the way only through land that belonged to him. He wanted to acquire a broad corridor of contiguous properties right from his Aldona gateposts to the market of Ponda! How could one achieve such a seemingly impossible dream? PP was a resourceful man. When import consignments arrived at his warehouses, he had the biggest and the best tobacco leaves set aside while being sorted. The prized leaves were never put on sale, even at a premium. Their value: beyond money. On his weekly horseback visits to Ponda, PP would carry a bagful of his prized tobacco. While returning, he would stop at the house of a Comunidade president of a village en route, and present his priceless ‘saguade’ (gift.) “Bhatkara,” he would then exclaim, “I have no much land in your village that I so love!” Promptly, several ‘Alvaras de Aforamento de terreno’ (lease deeds of comunidade land, granted on payment of an annual fee or ‘foro’) would then start getting processed. Agricultural leases could be granted upto a maximum area of 30,000 m2 per lease. PP’s grandiose plan necessitated not a few but a multiplicity of leases, which he got, thanks to his prized tobacco leaves, in the names of himself and his family members, in villages along the route from Aldona to Ponda. ‘Aforamentos’ by law could be remitted with a down payment of 20 years’ lease fees, to turn the land freehold. PP remitted them all and built a huge estate of private property. He might not have realized his dream in full, where his horse, from Aldona to Ponda, strutted exclusively through his land, by the time he breathed his last on Nov. 23, 1907. To get an idea of the kind of estate he built, consider this. In the Inventory proceedings at the Senior Division Court at Mapusa in 1973, sixty-six years after he died, the portion of the estate as yet unsold by his descendants listed several properties ... in the villages of Pale, Usgao and Surla – all on his horseback route between Aldona and Ponda. Just one of these properties in Usgao that I know, was worth Rs.1.20 crore in 1993. Multiply that by ten for today’s value. PS: Never knew Goan coconut trees sprouted “branches” that “decided to do a salsa” on overhead power lines, plunging IFFY into darkness. Thought our coconut trees grew ramrod straight. Got this gem from the Editor of a tabloid another Editor described as “taxi” journalism – yellow and black. (More on Goan Editors another day.) The bloke who discovered coconut trees with branches was crying about never being invited on a jaunt to Cannes. Goan journalism, ah! Must check from my Malayalee friends if there’s some long-lost breed of coconut that grew branches in Kerala, ha!

Re: [Goanet] Ivana is coming by Goa Express train after winning Chess Gold
Dears, Why should those who are GOOD in Goa migrate to the West? It is incumbent on the game managers ...in this case the Goa Chess Association [of which netters Shrikant Barve and Augusto Pinto are a part currently] to raise this issue in public fora. I hope this is just the beginning of a debate. An air fare for Ivana, and one person to accompany her, is not asking for the moon these days. The Govt. of Goa does as much for petty starlets and mediapersons during IFFI. Ask Dr.Susanna De Souza, the Director of Sports to do something if the Chess Association is too impoverished to do it on its own. Ivana is not too small to draw her attention! Perhaps, Vijay Mallya can put the Digu-Kaka Government to shame by giving Free tickets on Kingfisher Air to Ivana Furtado. A fully clothed little Ivana Furtado emerging from the plane is better publicity than a bikini-clad Vidisha Pavate spawled below the masthead of local news papers. Don't you guys and gurlz agree?

Re: [Goanet] Noted drummer dies in mishap
Very sad to hear this news. I've known James since high school days. He was a couple of years senior to me at Loyola High in Margao. He was a good looking blue eyed boy (a rarity among Goans) and was very popular at school. But he shot to prominence with his excellent skills on the drums. He leaves behind his wife Vera - a fine ballroom dancer, two young kids, his mother and siblings. For a brief time the family lived in my village at Per-Seraulim/Colva, during which time, I took a few dance classes with them. Always smiling, James was a real gentleman - we shall miss him dearly. Death due to vehicular accidents, is an all too familiar occurence on Goan roads. The stretch of road where James died, between Mungul in Margao and Seraulim pond, is a lousy section of road. If you fall off the road, you end up in the body of water, which is an extension of the Seraulim pond. Since olden days, the water in the pond is retained with sluice gates at this time of the year, to help local farmers grow second season crops. I do not believe anybody uses that water anymore to grow any crops. Most likely, the locals use it to catch fish (Pintoll) around March/April when they drain the water. It seems, another young man, also from Seraulim, died in another road accident just a day after James. It's sad to see so many young people dying on Goan roads. I believe it is time, they gave classes in Goan schools in defensive driving and traffic safety. Jim F.

[Goanet] Fw: Interesting weekend for Dubai Goans
Bosco, managed to retrieve it, its edited for the unprintable words, will u post it now? or...? - Forwarded Message From: cedrico dacosta [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: goanet@lists.goanet.org Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 9:04:59 PM Subject: Interesting weekend for Dubai Goans Interesting weekend for Dubai Goans Goans in Dubai were up for a double dose in this interesting weekend that preceeds the UAE NATIONAL DAY! 1) On thursday, Goa's Padmashree R E M O, was on air waves on 101.6 FM. Remo in the live interview with RJ Tia, went on to say that Goa is not the same Goa he grew up to. Remo, before being abruptly cut off from straying away from the topic of his music, told the masses how Goa was being sold by the politicians. he even made a mention and gave some publicity to the GBA . I would salute Remo for having the guts to say all that on the UAE radio chanell. The world should know, see and understand how the beautiful land of Goa is being raped by the rogues. 2) There was a tiatr Amkam Xanti Di...as usual comedian Domnik aka hoddo bakru and sibling Luis Bachchan thrilled the packed crowds. But the show stealer was none other than Francis de Tuem...he exposed the state of Goa and brought before the public how the current set of 40 thieves are looting Goa and selling it to outsiders... He also warned in his song that Goans are patient but not dumb...that the day is not far that if further provoked...Goans can still take over the might of the ghantis and Goa's Ghanteancho kumpar! What does the above potray...that Goans living in Goa are constantly being made to get frustrated. Government after government, mla after mla and minister after minister has played with the emotions of Goans and it is time, the entire situation will come full circle and the volcano will erupt... Also, the tiatrists mentioned that the people of saligao realised that 80+ Dr Willy was tired after trying to pull the river princess and needed rest, hence they gave him a political break... While hearing this i did think of a certain alfred de tavares (and smiled to myself) who recently took offence to my expose of the old fox dotor, wonder if he has the energy to help Dr willy come back to pull the river princess out, sometime around the next elections!

Vidyadhar and Gabe Many thanks for the info about the idiots who support sati and are so incredibly primitive in their views about women. Their level of stupidity is truly mindboggling. Please keep us informed about other examples of primitive social thought in India and elsewhere. However, do bear in mind that such primitiveness is to be found in Europe too. I just had a ding dong on another site with a Goan bloke in Finland who felt that it was OK to argue that Indians breed like rats (not rabbits incidentally!) . The idiot thought that he was right to call a spade a spade but could not stomach my refernce to his view as that of the proverbial coconut (brown outside, white inside) and that as an Indian I objected strongly to his view about us Indians.

Re: [Goanet] To be born moral/to Santosh
--- Selma wrote: Dear Santosh, I'm quite curious about this subject since I am in the company of little children very often these days, I've taken to observing them keenly. Dear Selma, This post of yours slipped my attention. You are right, in general, regarding the interactions between genes and environment. However, recent studies, especially those comparing identical twins with fraternal twins, and twins reared apart, have shown that antisocial and aggressive behavior of children is substantially genetically determined. One other curious feature is that as children grow up to become adults the environmental influence, especially, of the parental kind assumes lesser importance, and genetic tendencies become paradoxically more prominent. This has been shown to be the case with regard to religiosity, for instance. Now to find out about the great extent to which the overall behavior of young children is innate, I would recommend you What Infants Know by Jacques Mehler and Emmanuel Dupoux. It reviews most of the recent findings on the cognitive science of early development. Cheers, Santosh

[Goanet] SEZ is BJP baby Parented by Parikar and Digamber
SEZ is BJP baby Parented by Parikar and Digamber I have been seeing in the media all sorts of denials resorted to by the two top BJP politicians in Goa. One the impotent leader of opposition and the other, the BJP/RSS/Sangh Paarivar man in the Congress, Digamber Kamat who heads the bankrupt Congress in Goa. If the records are correctly quoted, Sardinha must have the guts to bring out to the Goa's people that both Monahar Parriker and Digamber Kamat were the prime creators of the SEZ controversy while they ruled Goa through the communial Bharatiya Janata party, a sad era in Goa's history that saw communial violence and dividing of Goa on lines of caste and religion. Today, our CM is so scared to take on Manohar Parrikar and expose the BJP that he knows very well that if he holds Manohar Parrikars nose, his mouth will open, the way the old koankanni saying goes, and its vice versa. Goa is very unfortunate, some evil witch has cast its evil eye on this beautiful land. The misfortune of Goa is that both the CM and the leader of opposition are both pro-BJP men and have committed joint sins while in the BJP days. Today both try to save each other's tails. The people of Margao will agree that most of Digamber Kamat's supporters in Margao are BJP activists and many of the BJP staunch supporters worked for Digamber Kamat during the elections for a bargain. Manohar Parrikar knew of this secret liasion, but to Manohar Parrikar, Digamber Kamat is an old BJP buddy and he did not campaign much at Margao to dethrone Digamber Kamat. A sad future lies for Goa when both the Leader of opposition and the CM have an unholy nexus through common cadres of the BJP. It is a shame for the experienced and age old Congress ministers and MLAs that they are unable to expose the fact to the people and not have an original congressman as the chief monster. Also, politicians like Churchill Alemao have proved to the Goans that he is a mercenary and is interested in profits for himself, and his family only. Churchill is the darkest defacement for catholics in Goa's politics and has let down even the church in Goa. SEZ, IFFI and RP 2011 are the creations of land sharks and at one time there was an unholy nexus between Manohar Parrikar, Digamber Kamat and builders like Datta Naik. Digamber Kamat also has interests in real estate through benami companies and hence he too benefits from the Regional plan and the rampant selling of Goa. The sins of ommission and commission committed by Manohar Parrikar in his capacity as leader of opposition goes to show to the Goan public that he is not too keen to expose the misdeeds of the Congress under Digamber Kamat. Manohar Parrikar has been using frontmen like BJP men in the GBA and Mathany Saldhana and Aires Rodriguese (both co-incidently catholics) instead of him comming down in the battle field. Goa's lone media warrior, If one has annalysed the situation, the Independent Goan Observer run by Rajan Narayan is also not very independent anymore but is dependent on Digamber Kamat as he has provided a ghanti with a roof over his head. As a Digamber Kamat fashion to provide basis ammenities to ghantis and get them into his camp (not sure which camp he might choose to be at the elections). In the last issue of the GO, rajan claimed that Shridhar Kamat, who everyone knows to be a pro-RSS man and is always singing bhajans, hymns and aartis in favour of Digamber Kamat, to be secular and secular activists in the GBA to be pro-BJP fans. Shridhar Kamat is a deadly chamcha of anything that buys him bread or say a bottle of feni! I am sure Rajan Narayan owes this much to Digamber Kamat and his great home provider Datta Naik another unwanted thrash from Margao town. So by buying Rajan Naryan, Digamber kamat has scored another ace. If you observe Rajan Naryan writes more of IFFi and conjugal sex in the GO than politics. Also sad for Goa are the selling out of NGO's. In Goa everybody is desperate to make a fast buck, even by selling their back sides like the way Goans are selling their land. Many have sold out to the lure of money. I ask an open question to the Congress of Digamber Kamat and the BJP of Manohar Parrikar -- please do not give the impression to the people that you are not the saviours of the SEZs. I ask Manohar Parrikar and his BJP, that should they have been in power and in a position to make a commission through SEZs, wouldnt they have deemed fit that Goa deserves SEZs? And why is Digamber Kamat so slow in acting? has he to run to his mama-mia Sonia Gandhi and Margaret Alva to whom he owes his seat of power to consult to check what is good for Goa? Where is the Aam Aadmi in all this? Goa doesnt want fake propoganda like IFFI where it will be a great party for Digamber Kamat and his colleagues in the cabinet to get photographed with Shah Rukh Khan. Stop SEZs Mr CM. It will destroy Goa and also you in the bargain. Show
