[Goanet] Four charged in Richmond High gang-rape case

The teens are probably going to get life imprisonment. In Goa however
after the Scarlette gang rape and murder, no one has even been
arrested, and two are just charged with rape.

Welcome to Goa and commit your crime. How about this as a by-line
to promote tourism in Goa?

[Goanet] Imbroglio that is Afghanistan

2009-10-29 Thread Antonio Menezes
Afghanistan is a hilly country occupied by many war like tribes called
Pashtuns, Tajiks,
Uzbeks, Hazaras, Balochis etc.  Pashtuns ( formerly known as Pathans  and
fondly
remembered by the British and the Soviets ) are a dominant tribe that
occupies not
only East andSouth of Afghanistan ( Kabul and Kandahar ) but also North West
Frontier
Province of Pakistan ( Peshawar and Quetta ) .  It is mainly Pashtun that
the American
army cannot so far subdue, for they are born fighters and for whom fighting
is considered
to be a national sport.  They have a hilly terrain of ravines, gorges,
canyons and what have
you, from where they launch counter attacks much to the chagrin of
technology dominated
American army.  It looks as if Americans are not adept at fighting on the
hilly terrain just
as they had found it difficult to tame Vietnamese in their dense monsoon
jungles.
American General McChrystal  wants another 40,000 troops  but I have a
feeling that
Pashtuns will be too happy to deal with the reinforcements  on the premise
that more is
always better for their shooting instincts.


[Goanet] LAZY NATIVES AGRESSIVE MIGRANTS. Goa going the Bombay way..

2009-10-29 Thread bombay people
Like Bombay, Goa is also going in the same direction. Migrants are pouring
into Goa. Only 20% of those migrants are living legally by purchasing
land,flat,property or living on rent. These 20% contribute taxes, keep their
surroundings hygenic, etc.

The other 80% of the migrants are the ones who settle illegally by
encroaching land in broad daylight by bribing local administration, cops,
slumlords. These illegal migrants create slums and shit and piss anywhere
and indulge in criminal activities. The illegal migrants are prepared to
work for meagre salary and prepared to do any type of jobs. Since these
illegal migrant don't pay any taxes,rent,etc they save lot of money which
they send to their families in their native places.

The illegal migrants later become votesbanks of politicians. The politicians
in order to get votes provide the illegal migrants with free water
connection, voter id, ration cards,etc and eventually pucca and legal
houses.

Resources which should have been utilized for the benefit of Goans will be
diverted to serve the illegal migrants living in the slums.

Today the population of goan catholics in goa is around 35%. A few decades
down the line the population of goan catholics will become less than 5%.
and the goan catholics will face exactly the same tragedy the catholic
natives of bombay are facing.

Feelings and Emotions Portrayed in Paint
By NAGUESH SARDESSAI
Thursday, 29 October 2009 01:36

Her current exhibition titled 'Reflections' has over twenty-seven works on 
display. 
Her paintings are the reflections of the happenings in the life of people in 
general 
and her experiences in particular. She has, after her Masters, completed a 
brief 
stint with an art gallery in Mumbai before packing her bags to return to Goa.

Having realised the need to satisfy her own inner self, Gaikwad immersed 
herself in 
the process of painting. She prefers oils over any other media. 'Oils,' she 
says, 
'suits my temperament and painting style.' More in love with the process of 
painting 
than the painting by itself, she works at a leisurely pace.

Most of her works are women oriented and few are based on the subject of 
relationships. Influences, experiences, feelings and other factors leave an 
impression on the artist and get translated into paintings. Gaikwad's case is 
no 
different. She intends to create a mood and avoids going into intellectual 
explanations.

Her works are simple and neat. All the 27 works bring out varied moods and 
shades of 
women. Her anxiety, fears, loving glances etc gets personified in the 
paintings. Her 
works have shades of Amrita Sher Gill, B Prabha and Anjali Ela Menon. She 
admits her 
admiration for masters like Paul Gauguin and his bold usage of bright and 
vibrant 
colours.

Each of her works has a lilting quality in them which entices the viewer. If 
'Midnight Fiesta' is fun-filled, then 'Dream I,II,III' are surrealistic. 'Blue 
in 
Spring' and 'Poise' stand out for the sheer beauty and grace.

Having participated in the State Art Exhibitions and this being her first solo 
show, 
Gaikwad clearly displays the capacity and ability to go a long way in the field 
of 
art.

The show will be on till October 29.

As per e-mail of Arwin below, I would like to add to what he has written below:-

(1) A parish priest in Goa, refused to let his catholic parishioner, a 24-year 
old goan residing in goa,  check the records of his parents marriage which was 
written in portugese in the church register, nor would he let this boy have a 
copy of his parents marriage details which were written in portugese, so that 
he could make a portugese passport, instead he gave the information in English.

(2) This same goan boy has informed me that for a govtmt job in goa RTO - the 
bribe is advance payment of Rs. 12 lakhs.

(3) Govtmt job in Goa police Rs. 15 lakhs, advance payment.

(4) Allegedly, only  goan ministers are allowed to distribute  quota of govt 
jobs in reserved and general category, at a price.

(5) Goans can get SC/ST/OBC certificates for govtmt jobs and admission into 
govtmt educational institutions, but even in Goa there is a price for such 
certificates.

Yes, therefore local Goans are forced to do menial, low-income jobs in Goa, or 
migrate to foreign countries.

I hope someone on this website can prove me wrong, and instead, inform me the

Sesa Goa Gets Probe Notice from Fraud Investigation Agency

By PRASENJIT BHATTACHARYA

NEW DELHI -- Sesa Goa Ltd., a unit of Vedanta Resources Plc, said
Thursday it has received a notice from India's federal fraud
investigation agency for a probe into its finances and management
between 2001 and 2009.

The scope of investigation includes looking into the state of affairs
of the company... in respect of mismanagement, malpractices, financial
and other irregularities, Sesa Goa said in a statement to the Bombay
Stock Exchange.

Sesa Goa, India's second-largest iron ore miner by sales, said it will
fully cooperate with the investigation.

It didn't say when the probe would begin, but the Serious Fraud
Investigation Office said the investigation will be completed in the
next six months.

Sesa Goa said the order for the investigation may have originated from
a shareholder complaint in 2003 before Sesa Goa was acquired by
Vedanta.

SFIO probes Sesa Goa for financial fraud
October 29, 2009 16:56 IST

The government has ordered the Serious Fraud Investigation Office, to
probe into mismanagement and financial irregularities in Vedanta
Group-owned Sesa Goa [ Get Quote ] and its subsidiary Sesa Industries
(SIL), the company said on Thursday.

The scope of SFIO investigation include looking into the state of
affairs of the company and its subsidiary Sesa Industries Ltd, in
respect of mismanagement, malpractices, financial and other
irregularities, Sesa Goa said in a filing to the Bombay Stock
Exchange [ Images ].

The SFIO enquiry, to be completed in six months, follows a probe by
registrar of companies which was looking into Sesa Goa's case since
2003.

The company... has received request from the RoC for information for
the period from 2001 to 2009, the statement said, adding it also
received an intimation for the SFIO probe from the Ministry of
Corporate Affairs yesterday.

Clarifying its position, Sesa Goa said, the company believes that the
investigation originates from the complaints filed by one of the
shareholders of SIL against SIL, the company and the directors in
2003, prior to the acquisition of the company by Vedanta in April
2007.

The company added it will fully cooperate with the investigation and
expressed its commitment to follow the highest norms for corporate
governance and transparency.

Following the announcement, Sesa Goa shares fell as much as six per
cent in morning trade on the BSE. It was trading down 1.69 per cent in
the afternoon session.

Allegations against the company, official sources said, also include
diversion of funds. The RoC had submitted its report on Sesa Goa early
last week.

On Wednesday, Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid had termed
the inspection as a normal procedure and said, These inspections
are procedures that have to be followed before taking a final
decision.

Meanwhile, another case pertaining to merger of Sesa Goa, the
country's leading iron ore producer, with its subsidiary Sesa
Industries is pending before the Supreme Court.

The London-based Vedanta Resources in 2007 had acquired a 51 per cent
controlling stake in Sesa Goa from Mitsui Co, for $981 million.

Vedanta unit Sesa Goa under fraud investigation

By Pratish Narayanan and Ruchira Singh

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Sesa Goa (SESAGOA.NS : 299.55 +3.95), a $5 billion
unit of London-listed metals group Vedanta Resources, is being
investigated by the government for financial and other irregularities.

India's largest iron-ore exporter said on Thursday it and its unlisted
Sesa Industries Ltd (SIL) subsidiary were under investigation by the
Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO), and the probe had to be
completed in six months.

The investigation comes 10 months after India's biggest corporate
scandal, a $1 billion fraud at IT services firm Satyam (SATYAM.BO :
100.6 -5.65) Computer.

I think the overseas investors will be very happy that the regulatory
agencies in India are becoming more and more intrusive in company
affairs, said Rishi Sahai, managing director of Cogence Advisors, a
New Delhi-based corporate advisory firm.

There is an increased focus on protecting shareholders' interest, he said.

Sesa Goa said it believed the investigation originated from a
complaint filed in 2003 by a shareholder of Sesa Industries. Vedanta
bought a 51 percent stake in Sesa Goa in 2007 for nearly $1 billion
from Japanese trading house Mitsui  Co.

The company said it received requests from the Registrar of Companies
for information from 2001 to 2009.

The scope of investigation includes looking into the state of affairs
of the company and SIL in respect of mismanagement, malpractices,
financial and other irregularities, Sesa Goa said in a statement.

[Goanet] Porvorim suffers- government releases water connections...

2009-10-29 Thread soter
Porvorim residents may be suffering due to acute water shortage, but the 
Government continues to release water connections to huge housing projects in 
the village. Today 29th Ocotber 2009, one more water connection was given to 
Sapna Habitat with 400 apartments and everyone knows why. The close 
relationship of the nanu's and the CM. The A.E. who refused to approve the 
water connection for this project was transfered one month ago. To add insult 
to injury, today the PWD was armed with an SDM's order asking the police to 
give protection to the labourers. The Sarpanch and some Panchayat members who 
came to the site were helpless as the PI kept flashing the order.  With so much 
of rainfall, the PWD is not capable of releasing water to the residents 
everyday. The sewerage which is released into public drains from the Sapna 
Garden apartments at nights from the below capacity sewerage treatment tank is 
being ignored by the health authorities. Worst still the sewerage is released 
into a water drain that leads directly to the Pilerne spring. Despite a Gram 
Sabha resolution not to allow more constructions of buildings, the giovernment 
is forcing it's way through with use of the police. If one goes to court, the 
matter will continue to see-saw for the next 3 years or even more. Leaving 
aside the lawyer's costs and the continued burden of keeping track of the dates 
for court hearings, briefing the lawyer, leaving your job and being present in 
court, if accounted for will run into thousands.  An FIR filed by us against a 
sarpanch in 1999 under prevention of corruption act has now come up in special 
court in 2009. What would be the peaceful solution to all this dadagiri of the 
government, if violence by the tribals to protect their land and livelihood is 
considered wrong in a democratic process?

(legs), kavllo/kanvllo (crow), khott/khontt (heel), somzonni/sozmonni 
(meaning), donparam/denparam (afternnoon), patt/fatt (back), khak/khank 
(armpit). The beauty of us Goans, unlike many other peoples of the world,  is 
that we can have unity in diversity and it would therefore be prudent to allow 
the variety that exists to continue as by doing so we not only avoid hurting 
anyone's feelings but also enrich our MAIMBHAS.

The feminine of makodd/mankodd is keldem but we can accept other forms if the 
same are being used in certain parts of Goa.

Many words starting with kh are pronounced and  written by some Goans without 
the k at the beginning of the word. One example is khapri/'hampri, which, to 
the best of my knowledge, is derived from the word Kaffir or Caffre, a term 
originally used by Arabs and Europeans for Bantu inhabitants of southern Africa 
but now regarded as a term of opprobrium and no longer officially used. Others 
are khando/'hando (branch) and khandi/'handi (twig).

I am not a scholar of  or an authority on AMCHI BHAS or any other language for 
that matter so the views expressed above are purely from the interest I have 
taken in and the love I have for our language.

Finally, I am very much interested in our 'opari' (proverbs), 'mhunn'niom' 
(sayings) and 'humannim' (riddles).

Here are a couple of humannim for those who are interested in them:

BATTKAR BOSLA BALKANVAN, XEVTTO HALTA KALSANVAN.

POTTAR POTT, BURAKAN BOTT.

They are perfectly clean riddles, I assure you, and I look forward to getting 
answers for them.

BANGALOREhttp://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/5170573.cms?flstry=1#:
James Sullivan, 41, has found salvation in the holy city of Varanasi. Once a
master chef, he lost his job twice in one year, first in Chicago in early
2007 after working for 10 years as the
hotelhttp://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/5170573.cms?flstry=1#trimmed
costs, and then in Mumbai, where he was employed by a four-star
hotel.

Then, on a visit to Varanasi, he realised that the city didn’t have good
restaurants serving continental cuisine and saw an opportunity to set up one
that would cater to the large number of foreign visitors that throng India’s
religious capital all year round.

When many of his friends in the US were losing jobs or money during the
recession, ‘Bread of Life’ became in reality what it meant. It was helping
Sullivan earn a good living during tough economic times and make plans for
the future.

Starting with a couple of lakhs of rupees and three waiters two years ago,
Sullivan now has 20 employees and is planning to expand to
Delhihttp://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/5170573.cms?flstry=1#and
Lucknow with a Rs 50-lakh investment. He recently bought an apartment,
is sending his daughter to school and plans to make India his home.

Sullivan is among the hundreds of expats who have found that the severe
economic crisis in rich nations can be turned into an opportunity in India.
Compared to the US or Europe, where there are products and services in every
segment, even niches, India is a big market, with few or no players, that
remains untapped in many ways.

“When you fall on hard times, you tend to prove you are tougher than
others,” says John Howard, who makes solar-powered LED lights for sale in
rural India. After he graduated from the California Institute of Technology
in 2006, he worked for a while but always wanted to be an entrepreneur. And
rural India was a big market for solar-powered LED lamps.

“When I came here, I found rural India, especially in northern India, has
severe power cuts. I knew solar-powered LED lights could be a solution. He
trudged through remote villages in UP, using an interpreter, and managed to
find distributors.

Since November 2008, he launched his business with investments by angel
investors in the US.

“India is now the new land of opportunity and thousands of expats are making
a beeline to Indian cities to nurture their dream of setting up their
business, says Neill Brownstein, owner of Footprint Ventures, which funds
startups by expats as well as Indians.

A majority of the estimated 50,000 expat workers in India live in Bangalore
and many of them are employed with multinational tech firms. A few
enterprising ones, however, have set up their own small businesses.

Emma 
Trinidadhttp://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/5170573.cms?flstry=1#came
to India’s tech capital in the middle of the recession to find herself
a job after the US firm which used to source cosmetics from her decided to
cut production. A resident of the Philippines, she eventually launched a
spa, S2, about a year ago and is already the talk of the town. “While the
world saw a slump in spending, surprisingly Bangaloreans continued to spend
on luxury,” she says.

With the economy now showing signs of an upswing, Trinidad is already
planning to expand to other cities like Mumbai and Delhi. Across town,
Italian master chef Paolo Nonino, a co-owner of Via Milano, one of the most
popular and highest rated Italian restaurants in Bangalore, is also planning
to go national. So is Chris Baker, a British national, who started a

Man has often shaped god in his image and likeness.

Christ went from being a seen as a rebel leader of the underdog, to
being the religious figure supported by the dominant forces of an
Empire (the Roman one). From there, it was a short step away to him
becoming Christ the King, a term still in use despite the sun actually
setting on the monarchy in most parts of the planet.

In Medieval times, he was dressed up in the finery of the feudal
order. In colonial times, the powers of that era (Spain, Portugal
particularly, but also Britain) were quick to deploy Christian
religious imagery to justify their own civilizing and economic
agendas. More recently, I read somewhere (don't recall the exact
citation) references to the management styles of Christ. It was almost
as if he was Christ the Managing Director.

Even someone like Lal Krishna Advani has been able to deploy Christian
imagery, when it suits his purpose, both in Goa late last decade and
in Kerala 
[http://www.samaylive.com/news/bjp-a-party-resurrected-after-crucifixion-advani/617848.html]

If you take the sections of the Bible which talk about his search for
justice, and against the powers that be, it's not hard to see a Christ
the Revolutionary emerge. The Liberation Theology that gained hold in
the jungles of Latin America is as close you could come to a
revolutionary form of Christianity (though this was also seen as a
counterfeit by forces both on the Right and the Left, for differing
reasons).

Whether Christ might have taken up card-holding membership :-) of the
CPI (Maoists) or not is a moot point today. But Marshall has a point
when he says he would probably be branded a Naxalite. Even a Seby
Rodrigues in Goa was recently! By none other than the honourable

 My understanding was that Naxalites were as bad

 During 2009 so far they have killed 560 innocent

[Goanet] What is a 'khandi'?

2009-10-29 Thread Frederick Noronha
Just needed to know whether it is accurate to translate a 'khandi'
(the old Goan system of measuring field areas) to roughly 4000 square
metres?

Does anyone have any pointers that could tell us about the old system
of measurement in place here earlier? I remember the 'pailies' and
'podhs' used to measure small quantities of grain, before the metric
system became the unavoidable (by law) standard.

Of course, fish is still not sold by kilos in Goa, and eggs come by

Dear Blasio,

Thanks for providing an interesting combination of English+Konkani word,
mankod. - man = human; kod = like. We look forward to learning more
such combinations of English-Konkani words.

As far as I know, the Goan Konkani word for monkey is makod. However,
in Karnataka they call it mankod. Hence, I wrote . we in Goa write
it as makod. The female monkey is known as keldem.

Whenever we write Konkani on a public forum, let us keep in mind that
there are scores of people, including Goans in foreign countries, who
pick up what we write and learn from us. Therefore, we should write as
accurately as possible rather than confuse and misguide them.

Thank you.

[Goanet] What would you be willing to give your life for?

From: Marshall Mendonza mmendonz...@gmail.com

Both Arun and Vernon were heavily influenced by the liberation theology
propounded by the Jesuits in the 70's and 80's and practiced especially in
Central and South America.

Mario responds:

So called liberation theology grew out of frustation with the oppressive 
oligarchies that existed in South America where a small number of wealthy 
families ruled the roost and exploited vast numbers of average citizens.  These 
oligarchies functioned very much like colonists and had minimal social 
consciences.  Unfortunately, the Catholic Church did not do much to alleviate 
the exploitation of the populace, thereby failing in its primary mission.

Thus liberation theology evolved as a well intentioned attempt to implement 
social justice by Christianizing Marxism.  This was an absurd concept, 
redundant on its face and a contradiction in philosophies as well.

All that was really necessary was for the Catholic Church to start behaving 
like Christians.

Real Christianity has always had a social philosophy based on love of one's 
neighbor without the coercive weight of government being involved.

In stark contrast, Marxism pretends to have a social conscience but this is 
only a ruse because it is based on the coercive and oppressive weight of 
government controlled by a small number of ruling elites who think they know 
what's best for everyone else, better than they do, and are willing to impose 
their will by force and violence.

Thus Marxism seeks to replace the wealthy oligarchs with its ruling elites and 
the population is left no better off than they were before, often will less 
personal freedom as we see from the experiences of Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua 
and Bolivia.

Marshall wrote:

Had Jesus Christ lived today, possibly he too would have been branded a
naxalite.

Mario observes:

Marshall, This is one of the most outrageous, even blasphemous, assertions I 
have seen in a long time.  You don't seem to have a clue as to what Naxalite 
means.

For Marshall's edification, here is how Wikipedia accurately describes the 
Naxalite movement:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naxalite

Excerpt:

Naxalite or Naxalvadis (name from the village of Naxalbari in the Indian state 
of West Bengal where the movement originated), are a group of far-left radical 
communists, supportive of Maoist political sentiment and ideology. Their origin 
can be traced to the split in 1967 of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), 
leading to formation of Communist Party of India (Marxist- Leninist). They have 
been responsible, since 1947, of violent acts on the Indian state and its 
machinary.
[end of excerpt]

Naxalites are VIOLENT far left radical Maoist communists.  Their inspiration 
comes from Mao Tse Tung, the worst mass murderer in world history responsible 
for the deaths of tens of millions of political adversaries in his attempts to 
consolidate his political power.

Jesus was the exact opposite of a Naxalite.

Marshall wrote:

There are many commonalities between Christianity and Marxism.  Social justice 
is an important issue in India.

Mario observes:

Poppycock.  As outlined above, real Christianity stands for loving your 
neighbor as yourself and for taking care of those who need help, whereas 
Marxism replaces love with the coercive power of the state where a small group 
of ruling elites seek to control every aspect of their lives, by force if 
necessary.

Marxism has failed in every country that has tried it and been consigned to the 
thrash heap of history where it belonged to begin with.  Today it is synonymous 
with brutally oppressive states with ruined economies and terrified citizens in 
places like N. Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Zimbabwe, Sudan, 
Somalia and a few other basket cases.

Christianity is alive and well and spreading around the world.

Marshall wrote:

I am attaching transcripts of an interview of Arundhati Roy with Karan Thapar 
which relates to such issues and also an interaction between CNN-IBN with 
Arundhati Roy and Gladstone Dung Dung which has lessons for us all even here in 
Goa.

Mario responds:

Arundhati Roy is a proponent of the failed ideology of Marxism.  She is a 
dangerous radical in sheep's clothing whose ideas are as obsolete and harmful 
as the failed ideologies of Marxism, Leninism and Maoism.

Proof of this lies in the rejection of these ideologies by its major proponents 
like the old Soviet Union and China, who tried it and created nothing but 
economic havoc and human misery until they decided to scrap it for the sake of 
their people.

There are no lessons for Goa as far as I can see in anything that Arundhati and 
the frustrated and violent radicals and revolutionaries she supports seem to 
believe.

While there are some parallels between the corrupt government in Goa and the 
wealthy oligarchs in South America in how they run roughshod over the populace,

 What is  aHetem  ??

Hello Joe
if you are in Salcete and if you are going to velim specifically Carxetta
on the left hand side as you enter Carxetta from margao side i saw a Hetem
tied up
to a chain, in front of a house with no compound wall.
i did not carry my camera along with me, that was in mid Sept
but some locals whom i visited told me that the Hetem menace have been
pestering them for some two years.
Some villagers told me that they were earlier found inthe hillocks of Baradi
and Velim
but now have found a new home in Carxetta.
animal actvisits would cry foul over the caging and tying up of the Hetem
but you feel the plight of the women folk from Carxetta Velim
who have been traumatized by the Hetem encounters.
