Since I woke unusually early (7.30 am) the day seemed longer, and I thought of taking up some other form of 'insurance' too -- buying some planting material for this monsoon. Pick up a mangium from Vikas Nursery, near Ticlo's Petrol Pump (on the Mapusa-Guirim road), my friend and Goanetter Miguel Braganza had told me some days ago. Acacia mangium [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_mangium] is a perennial tree native to Australia and Asia. Common names for it include Black Wattle, Hickory Wattle and Mangium. Its uses include environmental management and wood. Acacia mangium grows up to 30m tall, often with a straight trunk. Acacia mangium has about 142,000 seeds/kg. This, I educated myself about via the Wikipedia. Basically, I wanted some shade tree, to shelter from the eastern summer sun ... In addition to the mangium, a helpful young lady at Vikas Nursery Farms and Research Centre (promising quality planting material) sold me two jackfruit eight inch grafts for Rs 50 each, two bimbli eight inch plants at Rs 30 each, and one jamb eight inch plant at Rs 40. For an investment of Rs 220 in all, one had a bagful of planting material, which Aren (a few days short of 5) found an interesting game to plant. He was thrilled with the idea that, if the plants' roots caught and they grew, he would one day be eating some tasty jack-fruits and more. Vikas is just one of the nurseries along the Mapusa-Guirim road. There are others in the region -- at Parra, Saligao -- and other parts of the state. Plant something if you can. This is the right time of the year. At Vikas, I ran into Mr and Mrs Pinto from Candolim, who came for a lookaround, and took one of those Laxmi Taru plants, now being promoted by priests like Father Inacio Almeida [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1dtkd_Rhtg] Contacts for Vikas are as follows: HO Dhargal, Pernem Taluka, Goa 403513. Branches; Kalne, Porvorim and Margao. Phone +91-832-6522088 or +91-9225900994 Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile +91-9225900992 or 9225900993 Interestingly, the firm gets some of its plans created and grafted (if I understood right) in nearby Maharashtra. It also converted a small field patch into its place for storing and selling planting material. Which only goes to show... it makes sense to depend on others (states, people, whatever) or even convert a small agriculture field, if the net gain benefits Goa and her greenery in this case. FN PS: On the receipt was a line which said, Plants once sold will not be taken back. Hence my choice of title. -- FN * Independent Journalist http://fn.goa-india.org Ph +91-832-2409490 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Goa http://www.linkedin.com/in/fredericknoronha --- http://www.GOANET.org --- Tri Continental Film Festival 2008 July 25 - 30, 2008 Goa, India http://www.moviesgoa.org/page/tri_continental/ http://www.moviesgoa.org/tricon/schedule_2008.pdf ---

Therefore I made my own enquiries in my small-rigid CIRCLE about the pros and cons of having Prof. Kamat as the moderator of this 'purely Citizen's initiative', since I didn't want to send the wrong signal to the people of Goa that this INITIATIVE could be the insider's engineering. BECAUSE I CANNOT BE USED. And I have been assured by reputed persons with integrity standing that the choice is good, that Prof. Kamat is a class ACADEMICIAN and his being the Director of Infotec Development Corporation of Goa will not affect his role as the moderator of this very sensitive debate, the role of the Finance Minister aka Dayanand Narvekar in the passing of the Budget notwithstanding. However, this is a good opportunity for the concerned citizens like yourself to question Prof. Kamat over his role in the Infotec Development Corporation of Goa since he is coming in the open and I will endorse such a move. Believe you me, where I am concerned and (sort of in charge) the rod shall never be spared when it comes to MISMANAGEMENT/MISAPPROPRIATION /WASTING of the cake that is GOA. BTW There was the possibility of Narayan Dessai co-moderating the Initiative along with Prof. Kamat but Mr. Dessai gave way in favour of Prof. Kamat. rgds floriano - Original Message - From: Samir Kelekar [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: recipient list not shown: Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 7:52 PM Subject: [Goanet] Press Note for Kind favour of Publication - CITIZE'S (OfGoa) INITIATIVE - A Public Debate - Should Goa University goCentral? floriano To: goanet@lists.goanet.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The debate shall be moderated by Professor M.S.

He is also the Ex-Principal of Arts and Commerce College of Vasco da Gama, as also the Ex-Member of the Executive of the Goa University. By virtue of holding that position, Prof. Kamat has served on various committees and sub-committees of Goa University during his time. Professor Kamat is currently the Director of Goa Infotec Development Corporation. It would be interesting to know, as part of the Board of Infotech corporation and as a citizen, what measures if any did Prof. Kamat take to prevent the huge scams that our Honorable IT minister is perpetuating by using Infotech Corporation. regards, Samir
[Goanet] Re.: Sameer Salgaocar has thrown me out of CHESS
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Tri Continental Film Festival 2008 July 25 - 30, 2008 Goa, India http://www.moviesgoa.org/page/tri_continental/ http://www.moviesgoa.org/tricon/schedule_2008.pdf --- The situation between Shri Barve and the GSCA seems to have got out of hand. Whatever may have been Mr. Barve's perceived pecadillos or infringements, I hardly think that justifies depriving him of his livelihood. I would like to investigate this further, with the option of legal recourse. When I founded the GSCA (from the old AGDDCA) as a young law student in 1978 - I wrote its Constitution too, in consultation with Dr. Susanna De Souza - I did not expect it to degenerate into this. More recently I funded Bambolim Chess Club to rescue a moribund organisation - more than half its members now sit on GSCA's Executive. But, to what purpose? As a former zonal president of F.I.D.E. (Zone 4.2), the world chess body, I can honestly say such high-handedness, if that is what it is indeed, is rare. To deprive a man of his livelihood, is the lowest and most despicable form of cowardice. Sameer Salgaocar, as far as can be ascertained, is a millionaire with an industrialist parent who sits in the legislative Assembly whilst his corroded River Princess destroys the North Goan coastline, our tourist industry, our health and livelihood. Quite simply, whose is the greater crime against the Goan people? Like Christopher Wren's Westminister epitaph, I do not need to tell the Goan populace to see what destruction mining has wrought upon our ancient and fabled land. When one of these aggressors stoops down to annihilate a virtual pauper, it is time to stand up. Mr. Barve asked a polite question online, in an unrelated forum. Is he to be deprived of his family's livelihood for this - by one whose own record is so abysmal? Goencars, stand up and be counted!

[Goanet] The Defeat of Evil
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Tri Continental Film Festival 2008 July 25 - 30, 2008 Goa, India http://www.moviesgoa.org/page/tri_continental/ http://www.moviesgoa.org/tricon/schedule_2008.pdf --- * this article is from the bolg res gestae (www.rajivndesai.blogsport.com http://www.rajivndesai.blogsport.com/ ) * You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tuesday, July 22, 2008 The Defeat http://rajivndesai.blogspot.com/2008/07/defeat-of-evil.html of Evil The Advani Karat Pact Paritranaya sadhunam vinashaya cha dushkritam Dharma sansthapanarthaya sambahvami yuge yuge (Gita 4:8) (For the upliftment of the good and virtuous For the destruction of evil For the re-establishment of natural law I will come in every age) So the BJP and the Left and the cattiest Mayawati have been defeated conclusively; time to take stock of why they did what they did. A bit of history will help understand what happened. On August 23, 1939, the Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin entered into a secret agreement with Germany's Adolf Hitler. It was the ultimate act of appeasement because Stalin felt that would focus Hitler's attention on Western Europe. On July 8 2008, Prakash Karat made a not-so-secret pact with L K Advani, whose naked ambition is to become India's Prime Minister. Karat is a diehard Stalinist, who is enjoying his place under India's democratic sun. Most people believe he gets his marching orders from the mandarins in Beijing. Because the Left is what it is, he remained unchallenged until the Speaker of the House, Somnath Chatterjee, called his bluff with support from the more flexible members of the CPM. He defied Karat and stayed on as Speaker and was quick to call The Ayes have it on the voice vote after the debate, rudely disrupted by BJP thugs, over the confidence vote called by the Prime Minister. Then there's Advani, who for all the years he's been in politics, comes off as an amateur actor seeking a role in the major play of governance. For many years he served as the home minister and forced his way into being the deputy prime minister of the clueless Atal Vajpayee. For all the darts, deserved or not, hurled at the current home minister, Shivraj Patil, Advani was clearly the most incompetent incumbent. On his watch as home minister and deputy prime minister, terrorists were freed and flown by external affairs minister Jaswant Singh in an abject surrender to the world's worst thugs, the Taliban of Afghanistan. Under his watch also, Islamic terrorists attacked Parliament House with a view to taking Indian lawmakers hostage. And on and on the story goes. There were so many terrorist incidents, including the attack on the Akshardham temple in Gujarat, under his dispensation that when he gets up in Parliament to attack this government for being soft on terrorism, he comes off sounding like a hypocrite. Remember, this man is so desperate that he has become discombobulated. He went to his native province of Sindh in Pakistan and was so moved that he lost all sense of bearing; he ended up calling Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, a secular leader. He forgot that Jinnah led the Muslim League and asked for a Pakistan as a home for the Muslims of British India. Jinnah's intractable stand caused the Partition and a loss of millions of lives and the largest transfer of populations the world has ever known to this day. Sadly, Advani and his family were among the victims of Jinnah's communal calculations. But then Jinnah was personally suave and secular and used the communal divide just to grab power. Advani understands that; he took out his rath yatra in the 1980s that left thousands dead in it's wake. Like Jinnah, Advani has cynically manipulated communal divisions in India in his no-holds-barred pursuit of power. Between the ideologue Karat and the incompetent Advani, our country is being held hostage today. They have come together to try and topple India's most liberal and reformist government. This is not the first time that India's Hindu nationalists and communists have come together. They colluded in 1977 to support the Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and then in 1980 to support V P Singh, the feudal thakur who managed through sheer deviousness to become the prime minister for a few months. Both experiments ended in disaster. Who can forget Madhu Dandavate, the finance minister in V P Singh's ill-starred government? A man of great integrity, Dandavate was nevertheless an inexperienced person with no sense of the importance of his position. His first comment on assuming office in 1989, The coffers
[Goanet] The Celina Jaitley Fracas

The support they have shown for the fair Celina Jaitley and her alleged 'heritage' home by Mario and Cecil is certainly worthy of an ardent fan. She isn't the only film persona to have bought a property in Moira. Shyam Benegal had bought a property in my neighbourhood, but there was no hype about it! Mario: Why do you have such hostility towards the lovely and gracious Celina, who is surely a cut above most of the Ghantis happily infesting Goa, without whom Goa's economy would come to a standstill Me: I have no hostility towards Celina. I commented about the alleged 'heritage house' Mario: If Celina is buying the house only as an investment then she should have done so about six or seven years ago before the prices went crazy. But, you are absolutely right, Goan real estate still rocks when compared to Mumbai and Pune and Delhi, but only because of the bhaile who seem to appreciate Goa more than the locals or the Goan NRIs who have the money but prefer to simply piss and moan instead of buying these properties. Me: Was Celina savvy enough six or seven years ago? Are you suggesting that we niz Goans, most whom have our own houses should buy up every property put up for sale? Or that we do not appreciate Goa? Come on , Sir! Mario: The family selling the house will benefit, those hired to refurbish the house will benefit, the Goan Exchequer will benefit from licenses and taxes imposed, and yes, the servants and their families will benefit. Let's not forget the snarling non-Goan securitywallah, whose family will also benefit. If Goans could be taught to snarl - other than verbally on Goanet - perhaps the securitywallah would have been a Goan too:-)) Me: While the family or the blacksheep of the family who sold the house may have benefitted, the gains to the exchequer are probably devalued because as every one who knows how these sales are made will tell you payments are made in 'black' and 'white' with the tax being paid on the latter while the former, which is tax free is more. Mario, the tragedy of our Goans is that if only we knew how to snarl or wield a chhapal in the manner of the Bengalis or a Kukri in the manner of Gorkhas, Goa would not have been in the mess that it is now. ;-) Mario observes: Now THIS is precisely why Moira and Goa need more citizens like Celina Jaitley, not less. I will bet that if she is welcomed and treated with the respect that she deserves, one phone call from Celina will take care of fixing this bridge so it is like new again. Me: And yes, if Celina could be stirred up enough to make that call, probably by Cecil and if the call were made to the right Government Minister/ Official who was shown the economic benefits (to him) of putting up a cable stayed, swinging or any other multi-crore bridge, preferably accomodating a tourist hotel with five star accomodation - the pricier the better. How come then, Goa which boasts of having umpteen film stars, politicians, influential and rich people as 'new Goans' has been allowed to go to dogs? Or don't they care enough for Goa to make that vital call? And as a parting shot, may I add, I have lived in Goa, immediately post liberation as a young boy, till date; and with a heavy heart I have seen it go to dogs before my very eyes because of the influx of the hordes. -- Tony de Sa Ph: +91 832 2470148 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] M: +91 9975 162 897 --- 'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing' Edmund Burke.

Ask for all the board resolutions passed when this man was part of the director of Infotech Corporation as also notes from him about what he said on the board meetings, and we will know whether he himself is liable for the scams or not. If he has dissented/raised pertinent questions, hats off to him; if he has agreed or kept quiet, he becomes liable. Further, he has to ensure that what he says is recorded in the board meetings. It is as straightforward as that. Count me out of this/ also dont mention the points that I have raised, till this matter is resolved satisfactorily and these should be done before the meeting.

And I have been assured by reputed persons with integrity standing that the choice is good, that Prof. Kamat is a class ACADEMICIAN and his being the Director of Infotec Development Corporation of Goa will not affect his role as the moderator of this very sensitive debate, the role of the Finance Minister aka Dayanand Narvekar in the passing of the Budget notwithstanding. However, this is a good opportunity for the concerned citizens like yourself to question Prof. Kamat over his role in the Infotec Development Corporation of Goa since he is coming in the open and I will endorse such a move. Believe you me, where I am concerned and (sort of in charge) the rod shall never be spared when it comes to MISMANAGEMENT/MISAPPROPRIATION /WASTING of the cake that is GOA. - Original Message - From: Samir Kelekar [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: recipient list not shown: Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 7:52 PM Subject: [Goanet] Press Note for Kind favour of Publication - CITIZE'S (OfGoa) INITIATIVE - A Public Debate - Should Goa University goCentral? floriano To: goanet@lists.goanet.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The debate shall be moderated by Professor M.S. Kamat of Panjim. Professor Kamat is a 'Fulbright' Scholar ( State Department, Govt. of U.S.A.) He is also the Ex-Principal of Arts and Commerce College of Vasco da Gama, as also the Ex-Member of the Executive of the Goa University. By virtue of holding that position, Prof. Kamat has served on various committees and sub-committees of Goa University during his time. Professor Kamat is currently the Director of Goa Infotec Development Corporation. It would be interesting to know, as part of the Board of Infotech corporation and as a citizen, what measures if any did Prof. Kamat take to prevent the huge scams that our Honorable IT minister is perpetuating by using Infotech Corporation. regards, Samir

July 23 (Bloomberg) -- Fannie Mae, the largest U.S. mortgage finance company, couldn't find a buyer who would pay $6,900 for the three-bedroom house at 1916 Prospect St. in Flint, Michigan. So broker Raymond Megie, who is handling the foreclosure sale, advised cutting the price to $5,000. Megie still couldn't sell it. ``There's oversupply,'' he said. The home sold in 2005 for $110,000. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109sid=aMz0dl3IdwjUrefer=home Ends The person who walked away from the house still owes in the region of USD100,000, to Fannie...the right thing to do would be for the USA to become one big mortgage Bank.

Archbishop Paul-Mounged el-Hachem, one of Pope Benedict XVI's most senior Middle East representatives , said the discussions had begun a few weeks ago. But the archbishop cautioned that the Vatican could not predict the outcome. The discussions come in the wake of King Abdullah's historic meeting with the Pope at the Vaticanlast November. A Catholic-Muslim Forum was also set up by the Pope two weeks ago to repair relations between the two faiths after the crisis caused by a speech he gave in Germanyin 2006, in which he appeared to associate Islam with violence. 'Reciprocity' The disclosure of talks between the Vatican and Saudi Arabia, which do not have diplomatic ties, came soon after the first Roman Catholic church in the Qatari capital, Doha, was opened in a service attended by 15,000 people. Archbishop Hachem, the Apostolic Nuncio to Kuwait, Qatar, Yemen, Bahrain and the UAE, who attended the inauguration, said he hoped there would soon be a similar church for the many Christians in neighbouring Saudi Arabia. If we manage to obtain authorisation for the construction of the first church, it will be an outcome of historic dimensions Father Federico Lombardi Spokesman for Pope Benedict 'Discussions are under way to allow the construction of churches in the kingdom,' he said. Although he made clear the outcome was uncertain, the archbishop added that a church in Saudi Arabiawould be an important sign of 'reciprocity' between Muslims and Christians. The Vaticanhas noted that Muslims are free to worship openly in Europeand demands religious freedom as a condition for the opening of diplomatic relations. About a million Catholics, many of them migrant workers from the Philippines, live in Saudi Arabia. They are allowed to worship in private, mostly in people's homes, but worship in public places and outward signs of faith, such as crucifixes, are forbidden. The last Christian priest was expelled from the kingdom in 1985. Christians complain that rules are not clear and that the Saudi religious authorities, who enforce the kingdom's conservative brand of Islam, Wahhabism, sometimes crack down on legitimate congregations. The authorities cite a tradition of the Prophet Muhammad that only Islam can be practised in the Arabian Peninsula. A spokesman for Pope Benedict, Father Federico Lombardi, said: 'If we manage to obtain authorisation for the construction of the first church, it will be an outcome of historic dimensions.' Story from BBC NEWS: http://news. bbc.co.uk/ go/pr/fr/ -/2/hi/europe/ 7302378.stm Published: 2008/03/18 12:04:54 GMT © BBC MMVIII Saudis to allow construction of a Catholic church? Rome, Mar. 17, 2008(CWNews. com) - The Vatican is negotiating with the government of Saudi Arabiato allow construction of a Catholic church in that country, Vatican Radio reports. Islam is the state religion of Saudi Arabia. The government has not allowed the construction of any non-Muslim place of worship. No religion other than Islam is allowed to schedule public services, and even the possession of Bibles, rosaries, and crucifixes is forbidden. While it is home to 800,000 Catholics-- virtually all of them foreign workers-- Saudi Arabiais the only country on the Arabian Peninsulawithout a Catholic church. However King Abdullah has now given his support to the drive for construction of a Catholic church. Saudi Arabiadoes not have formal diplomatic relations with the Holy See. But in November 2007, King Abdullah became the first reigning Saudi monarch ever to visit the Vatican. Commenting after his meeting with Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news), Vaticanofficials had confirmed that the Pontiff pressed for permission to open a Catholic church in Saudi Arabia. Vatican diplomats have long argued that Islamic states should practice reciprocity in recognizing the religious freedom of their Christian minorities, just as the predominantly Christian states of Europerecognize the rights of Muslims.

Mario asks: Who the heck is Shyam Benegal? Tony wrote: Are you suggesting that we niz Goans, most whom have our own houses should buy up every property put up for sale? Or that we do not appreciate Goa? Come on , Sir! Mario responds: I am suggesting that either you and your friends buy every property put up for sale or someone who can afford to is going to do so. That's life in modern India. What are you complaining about? I have no idea whether you appreciate Goa or not. You certainly oppose its economic development. Tony wrote: While the family or the blacksheep of the family who sold the house may have benefitted, the gains to the exchequer are probably devalued because as every one who knows how these sales are made will tell you payments are made in 'black' and 'white' with the tax being paid on the latter while the former, which is tax free is more. Mario, the tragedy of our Goans is that if only we knew how to snarl or wield a chhapal in the manner of the Bengalis or a Kukri in the manner of Gorkhas, Goa would not have been in the mess that it is now. ;-) Mario responds: You may not know how to snarl or wield a chappal, but you all are pretty good at using the crab mentality to tear people down - as illustrated by your characterization of the seller to Celina as a black sheep. Perhaps, rather than snarl and wield chappals it may behoove you all to elect honest politicians so that there will be no more black and white money. BTW, I bought a property in Goa recently and there was no mention of black or white money. I used green money in the transaction:-)) Tony wrote: How come then, Goa which boasts of having umpteen film stars, politicians, influential and rich people as 'new Goans' has been allowed to go to dogs? Or don't they care enough for Goa to make that vital call? Mario responds: Goa is going to the dogs because of both - some old Goans and some new Goans. Other old Goans and new Goans are helping it to boom economically. The trick is to know the difference. A Goan, old or new, who bribes an official and gets a permit to build an ugly structure that does not fit its environment defaces Goa. Someone like Celina, who likes Goa enough to buy and re-furbish an old Goan house helps Goa. Why don't you walk over to Shyam Benagal's house the next time he's there and tell him precisely whom to call. Personally, I would go ask Celina to make the call, but then I'm not a Moidekar:-)) Tony wrote: And as a parting shot, may I add, I have lived in Goa, immediately post liberation as a young boy, till date; and with a heavy heart I have seen it go to dogs before my very eyes because of the influx of the hordes. Mario responds: If you have been in Goa all that time, then you have been part of the problem, which means Goans who did not elect honest politicians and allowed corruption in Goa to flourish. Besides, based on your complaints, it seems that you have not taken advantage of so many opportunities over all those years that created the economic vacuum that non-Goans had to fill. Economic vacuums work just like the physical kind - something or someone fills them as soon as possible. --- http://www.GOANET.org --- Tri Continental Film Festival 2008 July 25 - 30, 2008 Goa, India http://www.moviesgoa.org/page/tri_continental/ http://www.moviesgoa.org/tricon/schedule_2008.pdf ---

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think Gilbert is trying to tell us why the inquisition was nothing but dispensation of justice against robbers, burglars, adulterers, polygamists, polyandrists and polygynists. All of these criminals received the appropriate grade of punishment that they deserved depending on how far they had strayed from the righteous path - the thoroughfare of rectitude that had been single-handedly paved by his own religion. There is also a hint that today's divorcees who remarry deserve to be sentenced under the statutes of the inquisition for the crime of serial monogamy. Such a fate might also be appropriate for Hollywood personalities.

My 1st reaction to this news was, how much money is there in Chess for the politicians? Was wondering if Sameer Salgaocar has ever played Chess at the competitive level. I guess Mr. Salgaocar wanted to show that he was the boss! Looking at the current state of Indian sports like Hockey and Football, politicians have to be disqualified from even competing for these offices. Had they managed these with passion for the game, it would have been okay. They only look at lining their pockets. I hope that Mr. Barve is able to get his livelihood back. With all the laurels that young Goans like Ivana have brought to the state, Chess seems to have gained a good foothold. If an accomplished Chess teacher is silenced because he complained about inadequate money for coaches, it is a shame.

According to the Mapusa police with whom the case has been registered, Edwin D'Souza from Saligao has complained that the accused Teresa D'Souza aged 62 from Saligao has fraudulently made a bogus power of attorney and sold the property which was actually allotted to him, to another person. In his complaint to the police, Edwin has stated that one Annapaul D'Souza from Saligao but staying at Singapore had expired in 1985. Before she passed away she had transferred her property through her will to Edwin's father. The property of Annapaul located at Sangolda in Saligao bearing survey number 91/12 and measuring 875 sq metres was transferred as per her will to Edwin's father. The complainant further states that Annapaul also died and so also her three children, while on the other hand this side Edwin also claims to have lost his father due to which the property automatically came to him. The complaint states that inspite of the prevailing situation the accused Teresa on January 15 this year allegedly made a false power of attorney in the name of Annapaul, even allegedly putting down Annapaul's forged signature and by doing so the said property was sold to one John Sequeira from Mumbai in the same month. Edwin said in the complaint that when he noticed that his property had fraudulently been sold and a house was likely to come up, he immediately informed the Mapusa police. The Mapusa police swung into action and arrested Teresa and booked her under section 467 and 471 of IPC. Meanwhile Police sources have suspected the involvement of some advocates, notaries and even Sub Registrar officials in this big racket. Police sources wonder why such an important document such as power of attorney is made by the Sub Registrar office without verifying facts and actually ascertaining who is the real owner and if the real owner is alive or dead and if his permission is actually taken for this deal. --- http://www.GOANET.org --- Tri Continental Film Festival 2008 July 25 - 30, 2008 Goa, India http://www.moviesgoa.org/page/tri_continental/ http://www.moviesgoa.org/tricon/schedule_2008.pdf ---

The question was not the actual history of gold prices, which are what they are, but how anyone would know in 1997-2001 when gold prices had declined since 1987 and the US was experiencing significant economic growth and budget surpluses, which is when gold prices tend to decline, that gold prices were at a low point. Sweetheart, Politicians, or what some people call central bankers, all started selling gold when it was at its lowest point in 30 years. IMHO, that is a clear signal to start buying gold. To make matters even better, the central bankers took the proceeds from the sale of gold and bought US dollars. A most excellent investment if one wass looking for negative returns.. Let me make myself very clear. The central bankers sold gold at the lowest point and bought US dollars at its highest point. For someone like me who has been dealing with 2 cent politicians all my life, the signal was very, very clear. Do the exact opposite of what the politicians were doing and one would become rich in a short period. I have no intention of trying to convince you, Mario. All I am offering is an explanation. A, as it turns out, very profitable explanation. You first explained it based on 15 and 20 year charts in 2008, then by the fact that you worked very hard, like you did when you caught more lobsters in Africa than anyone else. I still think you are trying to pull our legs and haven't seriously explained your decision-making in any way that makes sense from the point of view of someone in 1997-2001. In case you have not caught it before, my bet is that gold will reach $1,650. This is the year 2008. When it does, you and others, will remember me. The non-believers you need to convince are those who were selling gold to you at the low point, who may justifiably conclude you were speculating and turned out to be just plain lucky. Lucky I am. The harder I work, the luckier I get. The US only freezes the assets of tyrants like the Commandante and Iran when they go too far in attacking the US. 17 of the terrorists that attacked the WTC were Saudi citizens.

Me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shyam_Benegal MG: I am suggesting that either you and your friends buy every property put up for sale or someone who can afford to is going to do so. That's life in modern India. What are you complaining about? I have no idea whether you appreciate Goa or not. You certainly oppose its economic development. Me: If economic opportunity means buying up or selling out like a corner store bania, count me out, Sir, aum niz Goenkar! MG: You may not know how to snarl or wield a chappal, but you all are pretty good at using the crab mentality to tear people down - as illustrated by your characterization of the seller to Celina as a black sheep. Perhaps, rather than snarl and wield chappals it may behoove you all to elect honest politicians so that there will be no more black and white money. BTW, I bought a property in Goa recently and there was no mention of black or white money. I used green money in the transaction:-)) Me: Tearing people down? Hardly. Black sheep was probably a mild characterization. A study of Goan property deals will probably startle you. I can give you instances where properties in Goa have been sold by black sheep by declaring some of the heirs as dead when they are still alive and kicking. But then you would call this economic opportunity. BTW, have you had a thorough title search of that property that you bought with your greenbacks? I could recommend a few honest Goan lawyers of the old school who believe in old values. MG: Goa is going to the dogs because of both - some old Goans and some new Goans. Other old Goans and new Goans are helping it to boom economically. The trick is to know the difference. A Goan, old or new, who bribes an official and gets a permit to build an ugly structure that does not fit its environment defaces Goa. Someone like Celina, who likes Goa enough to buy and re-furbish an old Goan house helps Goa. Why don't you walk over to Shyam Benagal's house the next time he's there and tell him precisely whom to call. Personally, I would go ask Celina to make the call, but then I'm not a Moidekar:-)) Me: If you are so certain about Celina's motivations, why don't you call her up and ask her to tear down that illegal 2 metre compound wall? Is that her and your idea of refurbishing a house? That you are not a Moidekar doesn't prevent you to make that call for which we Moidekars would be eternally grateful to you, or is it simply that you do not come within her social reach? (As a point of information, S.B. has sold the property) MG:If you have been in Goa all that time, then you have been part of the problem, which means Goans who did not elect honest politicians and allowed corruption in Goa to flourish. Besides, based on your complaints, it seems that you have not taken advantage of so many opportunities over all those years that created the economic vacuum that non-Goans had to fill. Economic vacuums work just like the physical kind - something or someone fills them as soon as possible. Me: We Goans, who live in Goa, are most assuredly not the problem, but the real problem is the NRI Goans like you who preach to us about what we should do or not do and how we should run our lives. It is extremely easy to sit in your ivory tower and pontificate. Live in Goa 24X7, then tell us what to do. I am glad that you are one New Goan, as you call yourself, who has made capital of the economic opportunity that Goa has presented. Just remember one dictum, that absentee landlords cannot call the shots. And while you are away, don't be surprised if a snarling neo-Goan has occupied your property and is giving you the one finger salute. Now that would be called filling in the vacuum!
