[Goanet] Yap, yap freedom fighter on Goa Contacto
As advised by Dr. Nalini director de Contacto Goa I managed to get a glimpse of the current episode which related to the polemic events of 61. What one saw is a deep focus by Contacto Goa almost hand in glove with the last leg freedom fighters namely Libia Lobo Sardesai and Prabakar Sinari (daughter with Portuguese citizenship). In 61 the bharat army raped Goan women, luckily Libia Lobo was not a victim of this atrocity. What one sees and hears from this lady is only blah, blah to the dark events where she spells the brain washed version that Portuguese soldiers fired the first shot thereby bharat had the upper hand to attack Goa. Today and thanks to the net and forums one understands that bharat was a provocateur and that they initiated the vast invasion by land, air and sea. Unfortunately Contacto Goa provided weak contra to the 'liberation view' by interviewing some weak bokdes without any political thinking. Dr. Nalini was provided an attachment by Eng. Paulo Colaco where dr. Fernando Colaco extensive information could have been used. But alas after 48 years the brain washing of false information continues to reign and this time spread by the Portuguese (RTP) themselves. BC
[Goanet] Goa is going backwards with Shiroda leading !
I have heard that every fortnight at the Kamakshi Temple in Shiroda, lakhs of devotees turn up. The money collected ( would anyone check the sources of the income ?) is in crores, as per what I have heard. And now I hear of this gold thing. Quite interestingly, our Mahanand Naik belongs to the same Shiroda. Apparently, Goddess Kamakshi couldnt do anything to save the innocent women from Mahanand. May be now, more women will throng to Kamakshi asking her to protect them. They might even go wearing gold so as to impress the Godess, and the time is just ripe for Mahanand-II. regards, Samir

Re: [Goanet] Our facile Goan Catholic Society .. It has not changed !!!
This seems like the Goan trend of blaming the underdog for it all! I thin the Goan bhatkar has a death-wish (okay, I can understand the role post-1961 politics has played here, but don't overlook the fact that this class also lived a cloistered existence, happy with an unsustainable exploitative state of affairs, and thought they could continue their dominant role forever). Being out of touch with reality (the pre-1961 censorship helped) meant that the demise of the Estado da India came as a big shock. Most bhatkars have sold out and moved on elsewhere. I know that some of the first families that sold their large homes to foreign buyers were from this very section, and didn't need the Rs 44 lakhs (which in the early 1990s seemed like big money indeed!) One can't blame the tenants here. The Goan bhatkar class would have been better off for itself, if it had a vision and a social conscience. Given our history, I guess it anticipated it could escape both. FN 2009/5/27 Gabriel de Figueiredo gdefigueir...@yahoo.com.au: Selma, Do you know the reason why Goan bhatkars want to sell the land? They cannot cultivate it (as it is held by a lessee who is no longer interested in cultivating it - now that they get remittances from abroad) nor lease it to someone else, due to the Tenancy Act. The poor bhatkar has to pay the tax, but gets nothing in return. So the next best thing is to get it converted and sell it off. So, before you blame the bhatkar, please investigate the reasons behind the sale. Please note that a number of mundkars, especially those that have sons working abroad, have now illegally built walls round what they now consider as their property, causing unnecessary hardship to their neighbours, blocking right-of-way. I know it because a few years ago, I witnessed an ugly incident between an uncle and a nephew, all because of their new-gotten gulfi-wealth. -- FN * http://fredericknoronha.wordpress.com http://twitter.com/fn M +91-9822122436 P +91-832-2409490 http://fredericknoronha.multiply.com/ http://goa1556.goa-india.org The price of greatness is responsibility. - Sir Winston Churchill

[Goanet] The Best Goan Blogs on the web
By Gasper Crasto, Kuwait Blogs, short for web logs, started out mostly as personal web journals. However, thanks to sites like Google, which allows people to easily create blogs in a matter of minutes, these simple internet outposts are rapidly expanding and evolving. I've noticed that many people have their own blogs nowadays. If they don't, they read other people's blogs and post their comments on them, or forward the links to friends. There are no longer any limits to what people will post on their blogs. You have people posting pictures, naming and describing them. You have people posting their favorite movies or songs (Really? Who cares?). Some people obviously take it too far and post inappropriate information and visuals. Some blogs serve a purpose in that they inform people of upcoming events, breaking news or just plain information about many things like drama, culture, language, etc. Certain blogs are politically or economically oriented and give a forum for open debate on vital social topics. These types of blogs are great because they benefit humanity in one way or another One of the most significant blogs among Goans is on the Taitr Academy. The material is taken from several Goan writers/reporters. Another one is Eddie s blog - one of the best on Konkani songs, mandos, etc. However, there are a large number of blogs out there that don't actually serve a purpose. They are like diaries in disguise'. While some are active with regular updates others can be termed as pooped' archives. Some people who blog have a false sense of grandeur. They actually believe that their words, beliefs, likes and dislikes are important to the rest of the world. These bloggers are under the impression that when they post about their diarrhea or the fact that they are allergic to tomatoes, they are being interesting and helpful. These people feel the need to inform the world of their upcoming life events, things that even their own dear ones don't want to hear about. Why is it so important to know about a blogger who likes to eat while in the shower? Psychologically speaking, there must be a reason for the need to feel important in stranger's eyes...? The internet is a tool that has simplified our lives, we should not use it to publicize how we like to cook our sausages! Usually, reading someone else's diary is a very interestingly sneaky thing to do. However, when it is posted for the world to see, the deceitful appeal is stripped away. If I am reading someone's secrets and every one has access to them, then they can no longer be classified as secrets... In my research I have identified some of the best Goan blogs. (You may add to the list and have your own rating). Of course, most of these blogs are mind-numbingly dull but you need to dig deep to find the gems among them: The Best Goan Blogs (In alphabetical order) http://agnelloasfernandes.blogspot.com/ http://aikkonkanikantaram.blogspot.com/ http://angelcrasto.blogspot.com/ http://augmar28.blogspot.com/ http://brestarpodddeafattlean.blogspot.com/ http://ca.geocities.com/goaraj http://cecilpintowrites.blogspot.com/ http://chandrakantkeni.blogspot.com/ http://edskantaram.blogspot.com/ http://fngoa.blogspot.com/ http://fredericknoronha.wordpress.com/ http://gasparalmeidawrites.blogspot.com/ http://gaspersworld.blogspot.com/ http://goabooks.wordpress.com/ http://goaclips.blogspot.com/ http://goacom.blogspot.com/ http://goa-kranti.blogspot.com/ http://goan-events-worldwide.blogspot.com/ http://goanmusicandmusicians.blogspot.com/ http://goanpoliticians.blogspot.com/ http://goanuniqueculture.blogspot.com/ http://goaunltd.com/ http://goencho-ulo.blogspot.com/ http://grapeescapefestival.blogspot.com/ http://guadalupedias.blogspot.com/ http://gulabkonkanimaganize.blogspot.com/ http://gulabkuwait.blogspot.com/ http://jivitkonkanimasik.blogspot.com/ http://juliozinia.blogspot.com/ http://keithantao.blogspot.com/ http://konkaniadlimkantaram.blogspot.com/ http://konkanifilms.blogspot.com/ http://konkanikantaram.blogspot.com/ http://konkanikovita.blogspot.com/ http://konkaninoveokovita.blogspot.com/ http://konkanipustokam.blogspot.com/ http://konkanistagepersonalitiesphotos.blogspot.com/ http://konkanitiatr.blogspot.com/ http://konkanivinchar-zabab.blogspot.com/ http://konkanixikkonkani.blogspot.com/ http://kuwaitgoatiatristanchisonvstha.blogspot.com/ http://mastervaz.blogspot.com/ http://mayball2009.blogspot.com/ http://mygoablog.blogspot.com/ http://nuvemparishionersofkuwait.blogspot.com/ http://padrikonkanifilm.blogspot.com/ http://penpricks.blogspot.com/ http://rewongomes.blogspot.com/ http://rizagoa.blogspot.com/ http://sonvarchimsungttam.blogspot.com/ http://sylvestervaz.blogspot.com/ http://teofernandes.blogspot.com/ http://tiatracademy.blogspot.com/ http://tiatristspictures.blogspot.com/ http://vachpiboroitat.blogspot.com/ http://waltermenezes.blogspot.com/

Re: [Goanet] Our facile Goan Catholic Society .. It has not changed !!!
I want to take a slightly different position from both FN and Gabriel here, not because I know Goa better but because I can identify with the village mindset. There is a pretty big disconnect between urban Goa and rural Goa, between middleclass Goa and the labouring class. Both the mundkar and the bhatkar want to tenaciously hold on to land that is free for settlement on development. The mundkar knows sooner or later he can wrangle quite a sizeable portion of the bhatkar's land. The bhatkar knows he can rope in a big-time builder for top money. No one in Goa is absolved from this basic human desire to make money off the land. There are but a few activists in Goa who have done a great job of bringing to the fore the extent of ecological damage to the environment on account of indiscriminate use of land. We cannot undermine their contribution, whatever their political affiliations might have been or their personal agendas were or however far-end of the spectrum their ultimate objectives were. At least there is a cursory awareness of environmental protection created. If I think about this carefully, without any emotional rhetoric, the problem is, not just in Goa but elsewhere in India, of land. It's scarcity and the fact that it is infact the only commodity one can barter for a sizeable amount of money. This position makes it impossible to make this an ethical issue. It is an economic challenge; how to safeguard the environment while creating opportunity for the citizens. It is a challenge which will continue to plague Goa for many years to come, for the torrent of dissent springs from the village, not the urban area. Those badly need development and rehabilitation, unfortunately there are no investors willing to do so.

Re: [Goanet] Goanet Reader: ... there isn't a true Congressman in Goa(Nisser Dias)
When I went about having organized the all Goa brainstorming sessions in 1999, sickened to the bone marrow by the CONGRESSMENs' culture of defections in Goa (Sardinha's exit from Congress to form the government with BJP support), one thing which stood out loud and clear was that the CONGRESS in Goa was beyond redemption as it was not really the CONGRESS at all but a hotch-potch mixed brew of self-seeking political mercenaries. And it became all the more clear from these sessions that if at all something had to be done, it was to fight dirty politics with clean, sincere and self-sacrificing politics. And voila ! GOA SU-RAJ was born. Today, at the threshold of a decade after this historic event of August, 2000, I commend Nisser Dias for having said what he has said in his bold write-up. I have always been the votary of the 'basic' CONGRESS thought process, with no doubt in my mind whatsoever that from time to time, having put to the test of fire, it will always come out shining, it having been the party that brought independence to this country, a party of great minds and rock solid will to succeed. The people of India, for their part, have shown the door to this party more than once, hoping that it will shake itself, violently if necessary, to get rid of the added trash it collected on its way and come out shining once again. Elections 2009 is one such test of fire and the the people of India have brought the CONGRESS out shining by decimating the communal Baah Jaah Paah and the commie left, etc. It is only hoped that it will maintain the 'shine'. However, there is no doubt in my mind that with genuine persons like Dr. Manmohan Singh around, the shine will be maintained. But as far as this little state of Goa is concerned, inspite of the good intensioned persons like Dr. Manmohan Singh, the Goa Congress has to be burnt at the stake, not allowing it to come out of the fire, for it has been totally and absolutely corrupted in body and mind. And the bearer of the flaming torch that will strike fire at the base of the (Goa) congress stake will be the Goa Su-Raj Party. It will be interesting to see if Dr. Manmohan Singh, in all his genuineness and goodwill, will be able to douse this flaming torch with enough water to save Goa Congress from its inevitable demise. I will venture with one example why Goa Congress has to be burnt at the stake. Take, for instance, the mind boggling serial killings of 'Mahanand Naik'. It becomes more and more obvious that Mahanand has been the protege of an influential Congressman who has been sheltering him, to exhibit the boldness with which he has been going ahead to do what he has done for these many many years. If my memory serves me right, there was the 'acid throwing case' on a lady in Duler, Mapusa some time ago. The suspect has never been identified and brought to book despite many vital leads. I have reasons to believe that this suspect was also the protege of this influential Congressman as he is believed to be hailing from Ponda area. The Goa Su-Raj's flaming torch that will burn such influential Congressmen at the stake will be: IC [Influential Congressmem/Politicians] calling the Incharge of the concerned Police Station [PI]: Prevailing scene: IC: You have just arrested Mr. 'X' [Mahanand Naik]. See that he goes home with a clean slate. He is my man. PI: ( Standing at attention and saluting) YES SIR. This will be done immediately. The scene that will prevail with GSRP at the helm of Goa's administration: IC [or whoever]: You have just arrested Mr. 'X' . See that he goes home with a clean slate. He is my man. PI: Yes Sir ( no salute). Only thing you must do is to come to the Police Station and sign for Mr. X's release. It is necessary we have the record that you vouch for him. Instructions from TOP, Sir.

Re: [Goanet] Our facile Goan Catholic Society .. It has not changed !!!
Rico, It is precisely because some bhatkars had a social concience that they didn't throw out the mundkars at the first inkling of the news that a Tenancy Act was being enacted, as quite a number did. However, now that the land is in the hands of the second generation, neither bhatkar nor mundkar is bothered with either side of the encumbrances. Hence what you see out there, I am sorry to say. In the meanwhile, I have noticed that in case of a dispute between mundkars, the bhatkar is called upon to decide, and the Sarpanch washes his/her hands off the matter ...

Dear Fred, it is true that, to a large extent, Goan society is exclusivist. But over the past few years, the dividing lines have been erased to a large degree. Goans from all strata life mix much more easily -- and freely -- with each other now that during the Portuguese period or for at least two decades after the Portuguese left. Do not judge yourself as failure to learn Konknni when you were just two years old. Judge yourself how much you can talk and write now. Obviously, you are fluent in spoken Konknni. I haven't seen any Konknni writing by you. In the same breath, I am not a fluent Konknni writer. But, I would be a bit careful to write an irreverent Konknni sentence like Selma's. Like you, I too tried hard to study Portuguese in Toronto but without success. I wish I could at least read so that I could access a lot of Poruguese books on Goan history and culture. I never said nor maintain that failing to speak and write Konknni makes one Goan. But not to speak the mother tongue is, in my opinion, a bit of a hindrance. Just the other day at my gym, one member asked me if I was a Goan. I said yes, and he asked me if I speak Konknni. I said yes. He went ahead and shot at me, Ponas, ponas ponchivis. With a subdued smile, I told him that he was wrong. His eyebrows went up. Even before I could tell him, a fellow Muslim non-Goan member told him that it is, Pondra, pondra ponchivis. He felt humiliated. The Muslim non-Goan member is from Mazagoan area of Mumbai, which used to have a large Goan population. I then asked him where he hails from Goa and he replied Aldona. He lived in Mumbai. For those who do not know, the pondra... thing is a slur or perhaps a put-down, just like maka pao. It implies that Goans are uneducated nuts, just as Goans are considered cooks and butlers. In a previous posting, I have mentioned how a couple of letter-writers to The Goan Review deride Goans who cannot speak the language and that those who cannot speak and write are responsible for losing their identity. Tiatrists poke fun all the time at Goans who do not speak Konknni. They also mock those who speak with English-accentuated Konknni. But the tiatrists are in the business to entertain and can be excused. Hitting at Goans who do not know the language draws a good amount of laughter. Frankly, I expected Selma to be not perfect but near-perfect. But then, the issue is not incorrect usage of language. Sekna wrote it in jest but the joke seems to be on her. Eugene
Re: [Goanet] Suvarnaprashana for children on May 28 at Shiroda Goa

I also want some sort of standadization should come in Ayurvedic medicines and it will come one day. It does not mean that we should stop the practice.

There is a sample size of half lac benefiitiaries. to get a good result about benefit from these Suvarnaprashan may take few decades to be know. (My logic). Consumtion of Suvarnaprashan is harmful has not been reported to collage. It is not tested means It may not be as per American standard.

Re: [Goanet] Our facile Goan Catholic Society .. It has changed !!!
Dear Eugene, First of all, this I am more Goan-than-thou, thingy has to stop. Secondly let me assure you that I am fluent in shasti Konkanni, which is spoken quite differently from its Bardez variant or even the Marathi variant. I admit my spellings are shot to hell. Lastly, since when is it un-Goan to make jokes about our own society. One Francisco Joao da Costa, writing at the turn of the 19th century, under the non-de-guere of GIP, created a sensation in Goa by poking fun at the Margao elite. If you ever get the book, Jacob and Dulce, or the original column written as notas a lapis, please do read this author, who to me is a Goan literary God. His evocative writing, perhaps, engineered an introspection of our Catholic society, although at the time he came in for a lot of flak for the so-called intelligentsia. We Goan Catholics must be introspective, all the time, otherwise we run the risk of becoming redundant. I never knew you to be so humourless Euguene.

An Indian dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a different hell for each country. He goes first to the German hell and asks What do they do here? He is told First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day. The man does not like the sound of that at all, so he moves on. He checks out the USA hell as well as the Russian hell and many more. He discovers that they are all more or less the same as the German hell. Then he comes to the Indian hell and finds that there is a very long line of people waiting to get in. Amazed he asks What do they do here? He is told First they put you in an electric chair for an hour.Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the Indian devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day. But that is exactly the same as all the other hells - why are there so many people waiting to get in? Because maintenance is so bad that the electric chair does not work, someone has stolen all the nails from the bed, and the devil is a former Govt servant, so he comes in, signs the register and then goes to the cafeteria...

You proved me right, and you took the cake. You are obnoxious towards your own views - that is if you have any. Instead of knowing the issues, all we get from you are angry, contemptuous assertions. Mario responds: Au contraire, mon demagogue ami. I am only vile to those who build straw men to demagogue an issue and twist the truth. I am NEVER angry, but endlessly patient, though I may sound angry to those who post snide, fact-free assertions and use truncated facts selectively to make their assertions. Gilbert wrote: You go on to abuse the alleged author with words like the most ignorant and biased bloggers in America and ... then far left wing advocate for the homosexual community and knows about as much as you do about economics. The fact is that Andrew Sullivan, who you assumed was the author of the post, is not the author. That is how much you pay attention to what you read and respond to. Mario responds: Actually, I was abu, ...er, criticizing you and being factual about Mr. Sullivan because my actual words were, It continues to amaze me how you find and follow the most ignorant and biased bloggers in America. Andrew Sullivan is a far left wing advocate for the homosexual community and knows about as much as you do about economics. However, you are correct that I missed who wrote the specific post you were referring to. I'm not sure it changes anything though, because Richard Posner is a lawyer and jurist, not an economist, who proved how little he understands about economics and current events in the US when he described the Clinton administration as conservative when he wrote in an essay on the conservative movement losing steam, By the end of the Clinton administration, I was content to celebrate the triumph of conservatism as I understood it, Greenspan correctly describes his analysis as thin. For him to debate Alan Greenspan on economics is like you trying to debate Santosh Helekar on medical research:-)) Besides, the housing bubble had little to do with the Fed and interest rates as Posner has decided, and far more to do with the government regulators forcing banks to lend money to high risk borrowers for social engineering purposes. The banks should have stuck to lending money to those who could reasonably repay their loans. Posner says it was de-regulation that caused the financial crisis, when it was actually government regulation, based on the Community Reinvestment Act, that was at the root of the crisis. Unfortunately, instead of resisting, the banks gave up and joined in with incredibly idiotic lending practices like interest only loans, no down payment loans, 100% plus loans, accepting fraudulent loan applications, etc. which inflated their loan portfolios and earned them inflated bonuses as well. Had the banks refused to lower their credit standards we would not have had the bubble or the house of cards that collapsed as soon as the economy slowed - which it always does at some point. Anyone who ignores the inevitable economic downturns of the business cycle and conducts business by assuming uninterrupted growth should pay the price as well. To work properly, capitalism needs to reward success, good ideas and good decisions, and penalize failure. This self-correcting mechanism is what has broken down due to political reasons. Instead of just those who screwed up paying the price, we will all pay a heavy price as a result, Gilbert wrote: Despite your lofty statements on goanet, for you to raise in a degrading manner, the (alleged) author's stand on homosexuality, in a discussion of economics, reflects your extreme views of other human beings, with whom you may not agree. Mario responds: Andrew Sullivan is a proud public homosexual and a vociferous advocate for his community. I did not use his proclivity pejoratively or gratuitously, but simply as a fact to question the validity of a serious discussion on economics in such a forum as his blog. For you to take umbrage at facts about Sullivan probably reflects more on your discomfort with his proclivity while sharing his politics. Gilbert wrote: I am joining the vast majority of goanetters to place you on my 'do not dialog list'. Mario responds: Halleluia! Halleluia! Halleluia! THANK YOU, GILBERT! However, I hope you are not under the delusion that I will reciprocate:-))

Re: [Goanet] Invitation - We Love Ayurveda
Placebo - The Real Thing From the link below, non-medical readers can get a good idea of how placebo works - via well known physiological pathways - or what is called 'Mind over Body'. This serious write-up is from the Science Editor of Newsweek magazine and appeared in this month's issue. The link is provided below http://www.newsweek.com/id/198727?from=rss To the scientists on this forum (and there are many) the question is if On an average sham acupuncture delivered as much benefit as real acupuncture, then how much of the real acupuncture is scientific and real? If scientific (expensive) medicines can use the placebo effect as the studies show, why would not the same pathways apply to / be used by Ayurveda, homeopathy, alternative medicines, nutraceuticals, etc.? These need some real explanations, not some demagoguery. For those interested in the science and medical version of Hooked on a Feeling - This is your brain on Placebo please read this month's issue of Archives of Medicine. What is intriguing, the various (3) types of acupuncture (non-traditional treatments) had about twice the benefit (60 percent) compared to the standard medical care with anti-inflammatory drugs (39 percent). I have still to study this paper in detail. Regards, GL

I like this idea of Aldona AMFT I remember at the time when I needed for my Mom, I place order with a local maker and a painter 3 weeks in advance. Got it delivered on time but painter took long time despite several reminders and in the end it was done in a shabby way – reason being he was a known alcoholic (was young 30 and a good artist though). A year later, it was missing from the AMFT, made another. (People were stealing them only to sell it back to the makers/painters). My local church had once approached me for a donation for extension of AMFT. And I will definitely suggest this idea to the leaders. It can be a great help to a poorer family too. Every coffin has a metal plate on its cover to indicate the dead man’s name, DOB/DOD Just before the burial, we make sure that the plate (along with the cross/crucifix) is removed or detached from the coffin.
