Here is some more information on Byculla dixttikarn: Everyone knows that many Goenkars are settled in Bombaim. They are scattered all over Bomboi but in those days they were mainly settled in Dhobitalao which came to be known as a 'Mini Goa!' Wherever Goans go, they carry with them their culture and traditions and this is exactly what Goans did in Bomboi - they carried with them the Goan voijinnponn and the process of vokot marop/dixtt kaddop and continued the activity there. I don't think there is any Goan in Bombay who does not know the residence of Voktam Maim (Mother of Medicines,) the late Mrs. Carlotina Simoes, wife of the late Mr. Diniz Simoes (from Candolim Tintto), who provided vokot marop and dixtt kaddop service in Byculla - Victoria Garden. Goans always made fun of the word Byculla and said: Ar're baiko la - 'baiko' is the Marathi word for wife - (Hey! Bring your wife!) Carlotina passed away in 1986. Her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Etelvin Simoes, wife of Mr. Alick Simoes, practiced the trade in Candolim, Coa. Her second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mary Simoes, wife of Mr. Andrew Simoes, continues with her mother-in-law's profession in Byculla, the main center in Bombaim. The third daughter-in-law, Mrs. Bebina Simoes, wife of Mr. Jerome Simoes, still practices in Ghatkopar but on call basis only - she goes to the caller's house and provides the service. The fourth daughter-in-law, Mrs. Luizinha Simoes, wife of Mr. Thomas Simoes, used to practice the trade in Vasco, Goa. Carlotina's daughter, Ms. Philomena Simoes, also practiced her mother's profession in Andheri. Moi-mogan, Domnic Fernandes Anjuna, Goa Mob: 9420979201 There was a disthikarn in Byculla, Mumbai.

Re: [Goanet] Unusual Proverb? Doxeo_Zonvop
Naguea, Naguesha, Good stuff. But, the che, chya is not the same, nor cho--does not have the same weight and obscene affectation as word beginning in the last letter of the alphabet. Also no Fo's, Fu's. Na na, baba--cholchenam, for our purposes. Ot you doing to my beja? The fo's, fu's takes us into the patal, ifen, etc. quicker than we can see iri iri irri oOhH, oOHH, oaoHh.

Doxeo_Zonvop Machindra Kambli made those 'Malwani Konkani' dramas (nattok) very famous. I too had watched at least a couple of those episodes, at the Kala Academy in Panjim. For the lovers of Malwani Konkani, here is a hilarious youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKoLkkEVMYk Then there are those famous improptu nattok from Mochey Maadkar. Machindra Kambli's dramas to a certain extent, are derived from these 'Mochey Maadkar'. As regards the 'colourful' nature of Konkani, the height for me was to hear my Goan neighbour and her son fight! The 1st time I heard them fight, I just could not stop laughing, as the son addressed the mother as a 'bitch' and the mother in turn called him -- 'son of a bitch'! The impact is more when you hear these words in Konkani as che.i and che.eychya -- I will let you fill in the dot/blank!! For that matter the 'colourful' nature crosses all cultures and languages. This morning as I walked to work, I saw/heard a few workers using the f word once too often. Then I saw another worker on his cellphone and he was talking rather loudly and every second word in his conversation was the f word!

[Goanet] OPPOSITION TO 3D MOVIES IN THE US: Interesting for IT professionals?
The latest coverage on New York Times is regarding opposition to 3D movies from film makers and viewers citing higher costs, difficulties in filming, films are dark etc. Even tech savy Hollywood stalwarts like Jon Favreu and JJ Abraham have aired sour views. US was never known to oppose any tech. Rather they professed Moor’s Law – Every five years tech utility doubles while costs halve. Why the difference this time? The Economist, London has rebutted these claims. Their main line is that the 3D tech is in a nascent stage and no body knows anything yet. Now, let us ponder on the sensitivities for India. 3D movies have much higher software and animation component in its cost compared to 2D. This makes higher outsourcing by film industry. The tech geeks become prominent and the film stars become less important. India’s competitive advantage in IT will help to garner a good chunk of outsourced work. Is Hollywood worried because more of their work may move to Bangalore or Mexico, especially when the US is starring at the prospects of double dip recession? But 3D may unleash a big blow to video piracy in India and China. 3D films are much more difficult to copy than 2D. Can India Jugad stay ahead of the curve? Rajendra Kakodkar PS: This looks like a diversion from my side. When I joined Goanet, I had resolved that I would write only those things related to problems in Goa. Above note was prepared for one of my clients, so that he gets a perspective of new trends in business avenues related to animation. I have made the theme public (after deleting classified info) because Placement officer of Goa Engineering College had told me that most of the Goan engineers have to migrate to Pune/ Bangalore because there is no scope in Goa. If anyone of them reads this, he can think of a startup in Goa. It is a sunrise avenue. You have ample time to make hay. There are many PE schemes (not govt but pvt – Economic Times, Narayan Murthy etc) which help innovator-antrepreneurs financially and also incubate startups. * * * Was life in the *kudds* glamourised?

[Goanet] Tum Konknno? - Remembering Alfred Rose on his 78 Birth Anniversary
Remembering Alfred Rose on his 78th Birth Anniversary - 5th August 2010 The One and only Meldoy King of the konkani stage, whose songs are still heard in Goan houses around the world. A great composer and singer, Alfred has sung over thousands of songs in Konkani on various topics educating Goans, including the traditional Happy Birthday song 'Zolm Disachem Kantar' which is commonly sung now for Birthdays. We still miss a lot of his songs which were heard on Akashwani, specially the songs which were recorded on Vinyl records. One can also find a lot of his old songs on the net, besides the website(http://alfredrose.com/), blog and a fan page on facebook. The Alfred Rose fan page on facebook has 327 members, many of them die hard fans of Alfred Rose and there have been interesting inputs from the fans n other members. If you are fan of Alfred Rose you too can join in. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/group.php?gid=154702013962 In amcheam Goem we used to call our Hindu brothers as 'Konknne' but actually in general all people living in Konkan Coast from western Maharashtra to Manglore coast are called 'KONKNNE'. We as kids didnt know this or remember this even though taught in schools but only became aware of this when we heard Alfred Rose song which was played on good old Akashwani. Most of my friends in school were Hindus and we used to talk in konkani, and there was never a problem between the two communities, we took part in each others festivals and had respect for each others religions, though there were fewer Hindus in Salcette villages. Most of them were the business community, with either shops or hotels or goldsmiths, the Christians only managed the bars. In this song Tum Konknnom? Alfred tell us how we Goans irrespective of religion can come togather and be united as a Goemkar...especially in these times. The lyrics given below are taken from one of Alfred Rose booklets, but I am actually looking for the orginal song in mp3, which was played on Akashwani, if anyone has this song pls send to me. TUM KONKNNOM?? - Alfred Rose Goemkar ami ginean xannem, Jivit bodoltanv tempa pormonem, Dha zanam modem bonvonk sangonk naka konnem, Hem amchem rogtan assa soimbachem dennem.

[Goanet] DISTH!
The following extract is from my 12-part series: The forgotten Tribe - Mhar. I am posting it for the benefit of those who may not have read the series: SORCERY EXORCISM In today’s world, if anything goes awry we call it ‘bad luck.’ In the past everything was attributed to ‘dixtt’ (evil eye) cast by someone who was jealous of your possessions, prosperity or even general well being. This ancient belief was deep-rooted until the late Seventies/early Eighties. When one was diagnosed with dixtt, he/she was taken to a dixttikar/dixtikarn - a person who draws out the negative energies from the body and rids it of the 'evil eye'. The Mhars or the so-called lower caste of Goan society had the powers to remove evil eye and the tradition would automatically go down to the next generation of the family but not if the daughter married a member of a higher caste. Their hand was said to have the power of being able to rid one of the evil eye - they were believed to possess powers of exorcism. The ritual of driving away evil spirits was performed on Sundays and Wednesdays – the two days on which these powers were believed to be activated. Children, especially infants, are considered to be the most vulnerable and many methods were used to thwart the evil eye. That’s why children were always made to wear black beaded cords. Black dots of kaajal were applied on the forehead, chin and cheeks. Kaajal was also applied around a child’s eyes; a black cord or a munz was tied around the waist of a child. People also prepared pendants with owl’s nails/bones and tied them in the form of small “pottleo” (bundles) on necklaces. Similarly, garlic is believed to be a repellant of evil; hence, it was tied in a cloth in the form of a pottli and added to a child’s necklace. It is believed these tools can ward off the evil eye cast by people seeing the baby for the first time or, if they are envious of the baby’s lively personality. When an evil eye is cast on a child, the child cries non-stop, it stops eating and eventually falls sick. In the past, those who could afford, would take their children to a doctor or consult the elderly and yet find no cure. Their next stop would be a dixttikar’s/dixttikarn’s place. There are two types of evil eye: One is weaker or mild, the other is of a stronger force. Some children get well immediately, others have to visit the dixttikar/dixttikarn, at least thrice for a complete cure. A mild evil eye requires the dixttikar/dixttikarn to say a short prayer while he/she sprinkles a few drops of holy water and freshly ground roots of the addoso plant. The plant is commonly used in homes to drive away the evil eye. Mothers are known to pray over their children and sprinkle the mixture of holy water and addoso if they appear to be frightened or act strangely. This practice is known as “vokot marop” (application of medicine.) The stronger evil eye, it is believed, does not leave a person straight away. It is believed certain people have a ‘bad eye’ and once cast upon a person, can harm the person in an unhealthy way. To rid of this evil eye, dixttikar/dixttikarn recommends three chillies, a handful of salt; an egg, whole bread and a banana to be looped around the head of the person in circular motions and discarded at a crossroad. This is called ‘umvaddi vovdavop.’ Mothers do this over their children at night and keep them indoors till dawn. A dixttikar/dixttikarn’s tools are chilies, a piece of rock candy and one mixture of holy water and ground addoso root. Evil eye is removed only on a Wednesday and Sunday, the days considered auspicious for cleaning the people. When it came to chasing away evil eye, spirits, cobras, the Mhars were simply the best. Just like a voijinn (mid-wife / local female doctor), the Mhars were summoned by Hindus as well as Christians to exorcise evil eye and spirits. The Mhars were associated with their demon deities. They worshipped the devil-god ‘Maru’, who lived on hilltops and treetops, especially “oddancher” (on banyan trees.) Whenever they wanted to drive away evil, they would call out their devil-god thus: “Oddavoilo Guru, Ximevoilo Maru, amche gorjek pavu.” (Oh devil-god who dwells on the banyan tree and who controls the borders, please help us in our need.) This is why we saw small shrines around the base of odd and pimpoll (fecus indica) trees, where Maru was placated with offerings of miniature clay horses. Such trees were never cut down. Here’s an example: When one enters Mapusa from Panaji, there is a roundabout with statue of Gandhiji. During Portuguese times, there was a big 'oddachem zhadd' (banyan tree) with many zageache sorop (snakes belonging to the spot) around it. The Hindus lit “telacheo ponntteo” (earthen oil lamps) and “agarbatis” (incense sticks) on the pedestal around the tree, and threw coins at the foot of the tree. The Portuguese government tried in vain many times to get rid of the

Re: [Goanet] Golden years of Goan sports *correction*
Matari it is. The name came about when Francis joined Don Bosco's, Panjim. At the begiining of the school year (circa June mid-60s) Mr. Domnic, the PT master, asked the newly-joined students to present themselves. When it was Francis' turn, Mr.Domnic asked Francis which school he came from - the quick staccato reply came out as Matari (he actually meant Mater-Dei, Saligao). The name stuck ... There was another Francis who was nick-named Chikki (a good high-jumper a la Fosbury flip) , and yet another Francis was called Battli (as in battli futtli). Both these guys were boarders at Don Bosco's Panjim, originally from Bombay...

Re: [Goanet] TAIP
TAIP items related to Karachi: 1. On 2nd November 1957, a “Vickers-Viking” CR-IAD came to grief at Karachi airport when it crashed into the fire brigade headquarters building, fortunately with no loss of life. (http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19571102-1 ) 2. On the night of 17th March 1958, a TAIP skymaster, CR-IAF, was on a routine flight from Aden to Karachi. The airport at Karachi was suddenly covered by an unexpected impenetrable fog, and the air-traffic controller suggested Bombay as an alternative airport for landing. However, the pilot requested landing on the responsibility of the pilot, with ILS aid. With visibility of 50 yards and zero ceiling, the plane landed safely and the crew were congratulated at this feat by the control tower for the best landing of 1958 (José Krus Abecasis) PS It was impossible for the crew to land at Bombay, for had they had, they would have been arrested for violating Indian airspace, due to political conditions prevailing at the time.

[Goanet] Development planning law proposed for Goa
Development planning law proposed for Goa Navhind Times Published on: August 5, 2010 - 00:11 MARGAO: The Council for Social Justice and Peace, after a sustained study of the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments and several state instruments of the Union has proposed a Development Planning Law for Goa in sync with the Constitution of India, announced its executive secretary, Fr Maverick Fernandes on Wednesday. The council has been in the forefront of social reform in the state. Stating that this study has been conducted over so many years, and is pertaining to local governance and access and use of land with differentially capped intensities, the CSJP stressed the mapped information and proposals were to be freely available to the public so that land use and other changes occur in a transparent manner and argued that this would help the government appointed committee in this long over-due exercise, adding We also hope that these recommendations get wide publicity for debate leading to a fine tuning of the CSJP recommendations so as to hasten the report of the government committee towards an acceptable Development Planning Act in place. These recommendations are in two parts: the national and the state context for the act and key aspects that need to be in place as part of the act. Some of the critical aspects addressed in these recommendations are: the creation of a Goa Development Planning Board composed entirely of elected representatives and which Board is required to ensure that the spatial use and intensity of land is in sync with socio-economic investment development through the State Planning Board that coordinates sectoral developments and interests; the functions and powers of the Board and the facilitating role of the chief planner and his/ her department is accordingly spelt out, the definition and broad contents of the Development Plans (20 year perspective, 5-year programmes and annual budgets) and comprising of inter-linked District Development Plans, Settlement Plans for municipalities and village panchayats and of Electoral Ward Plans are accordingly spelt out; an additional function to District Planning Committees (DPCs) to process District Development Plans under this act is recommended for greater coordination. An ideal composition o f DPCs comprising of elected representatives is also proposed. The CSJP also recommends that for plan making, districts are to be declared Planning Areas and Settlements are to be declared as Local Planning Areas and more importantly each district and their settlements would be their own Planning and Development Authority and plan formulation would be in outline form at start and final form after the suggestions/ objections process. It also wants plans for electoral wards to be part of settlement plans and all levels of plans- district settlement (municipal and village panchayat) and electoral wards would be interrelated in such a manner that Settlement Plans cannot function in isolation of the districts, likewise electoral wards are to be basic components of settlements. * * * Was life in the *kudds* glamourised?

[Goanet] Big victory for Goa's culture vultures and heritage entrepreneurs-Assemby passes the draconian amendment to archaeological act. 1978 to stiffle public protests and 'interference'
August 4 th was a party day for Goa's culture vultures and the new and highly professional breed of heritage entrepreneurs in Goa! Finally their systematic lobbying has handsomely paid off. The government moved and passed with voice vote a seemingly innocuous amendment to ancient monuments and archeological sites act, 1978, the ONLY SUCH AMENDMENT ANYWHERE IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY but it is actually aimed to stiffle popular protests and resistance against any government plan in connivance with private parties But the same government, despite full powers could not move an amendment intelligently in the same act to make mining or quarrying impossible near the notified monuments... if that were to be done 20 % problems in mining areas would have been over esp. in Tamdi surla, Vichundrem, Rivona, Kolamb areas... Read the fine print of the amendment.. it is one more victory in the march of disempowering the people!. There was remarkable unity among all political parties including BJP over this... if government officers remove centuries old dressed stones and clandestinely supply to decorate private residences and hotels... post amendment nobody would be able to interfere, challenge, question! Henceforth no questions would be possible if a fashion ramp is built on a fort rampart, a coffee house is put up, a liquor bar or a souvenir shop is set up and an acid party is held-all in the name of adaptive reuse a convenient term for generating 'revenue' for maintenance' of the monuments...with zero local stakeholder participation! Same thing had happened in 1997 when amendment was moved to the Goa gambling act to permit offshore' casinoes! I was present in the old assembly lobby and had persuaded the opposition MLAs to stage a walkout after protesting We have seen the 'results' today of that amendmentthe riverine Casino culture And who benefits from such revolutionary amendments?. people and press in Goa takes ages to wake up!. The press suppresses news when it hurts advertisement interests. It has been revealed in the assembly that for every Rupee from public funds that is spent in the name of renovation of Goa's notified monuments, INTACH pockets a commission of 15 paise!. The MOU also reveals that INTACH would virtually run the show for 5 yearsand 15 years for Reis magos fort!. That MOU should have guided the commissioner CCP who is a small fish in the Miramar overbridge business! There were no global tenders, no competitive bids, no codal formalities before INTACH was hastily roped in in an election year...everything happened under right pulls and pressures by networking with right politicians and civil servants! Obviously skeletons would tumble once CAG smells a rat! Culture vultures would never smell any conflict of interests when everyone is interested in getting something leased out... did anyone make noise over the land held by Taj hotels on Aguada plateau? or the land illegally reclaimed within CRZ at Fontainhas for a private car showroom which has blocked the drainage of the area? There are hundreds of monuments in larger states but the governments there had never thought about amending the actI know why Goa government brought the amendment and that truth tells me that full scale auctioning of our land, our natural and cultural assets has now ACCELERATED! . it is big people, big money, big connections, excellent PR! I had warned individuals and NGOs that the government has found a way for backdoor privatisation under the name of adaptive reuse by amending the above act. Lady Helen Hamlyn would now have the last laughand all those patriots who went with a begging bowl to her when the government was sitting on a kitty of Rs. 21 crores!. The generous lady obliged and gave Rs. 35 million gift to Goa...but inexplicably ONLY for the strategically located Fort Reis Magos... The real fun would begin within two years, when the press and activists would suddenly wake up to taste the new revenue model. Now the state army would be at the gate to stop those who differ, disagree, protest and question!. it would be quiet a show with culture vultures aligning with people in uniforms! Our 'renovated secular historic monuments would be fortified gated communities!. A seven star hotel coming up (opening in December, may give run for money to Cidade de Goa and Mariott) at Bambolim as part of Aldeia project has now blocked our right to visit the pristine Bambolim beach...by 2012 entire coastline of Tiswadi from Cidade de Goa hotel to Dando, Agacaim would be fully privatised leaving out only tiny outcrops of rocks in intertidal areas I would resend this same email on goanet exactly after Two years!. -- Dr. Nandkumar Kamat, GOA * * * Was life in the *kudds* glamourised?

It showed a guy on a bridge who was about to jump, obviously suicidal:- Minguliao: I'll bet you Rs. 500/- he'll jump Bostiao: Bet you Rs. 500/- he won't Minguliao: I am sure he will jump Bostiao: I say he won't Then, the guy on the television closed his eyes and threw himself off the bridge. Bostiao hands Five hundred rupees to Minguliao. Minguliao: I can't take your money, Bostiao: Why? Minguliao: I cheated you. The same news I saw at five o'clock. Bostiao: No, no.

The actress caused *controversy in India last September*http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/6218851/Julia-Roberts-angers-Hindus-as-worshippers-are-banned-from-their-temple.htmlwhen local Hindus were barred from celebrating an important religious festival while she shot scenes for the film in their temple on the outskirts of New Delhi. Villagers hoping to mark the beginning of Navratri, nine days of worship of their Goddess Durga, at Ashram Hari Mandir found their temple sealed by Roberts's vast security team of 350 guards, bulletproof cars and a helicopter. The actress disclosed her conversion in an interview with the September issue of Elle magazine, in which she also railed against the use of cosmetic surgery. “It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates, she said. “I want my kids to know when I'm pissed, when I'm happy, and when I'm confounded. Your face tells a story ... and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office. Eat, Pray, Love, the screen adaptation of the bestselling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, will be released in Britain later this year. -- DEV BOREM KORUM Gabe Menezes. * * * Was life in the *kudds* glamourised?

[Goanet] Some anti-plagiarism software
Hello all, just in case any among us is thinking of writing a term paper, a thesis or a book and wishes to ensure that he/she will not be accused of plagiarism the following might be useful. Kidshealth.org defines Plagiarism is a form of cheating because it's stealing another person's ideas. Glatt Plagiarism Teaching Program (GPTeach) is a Tutorial Program which purports to provide computer assisted instruction on what constitutes plagiarism and how to avoid it. Glatt Plagiarism Screening Program (GPSP) is said to be a highly sophisticated Screening Program to detect plagiarism. ref: http://www.plagiarism.com/ I personally recommend the use of Viper - the Anti-plagiarism Scanner - a free application from CNET. (so says CNET, my favourite software site) Plagiarism-Finder 1.2.2 is good too ...but is a '30 day free trial software'. Some others can be found at http://download.cnet.com/3001-2051_4-10795356.html?spi=4335953d738748a0e40f93ceba3ce41a And yes before sending the book to the US Library of Congress, please check this site http://id.loc.gov/authorities/sh85102580 Please note that the above is generic information. If you are planning to send hate-mail (as a result of this post), please send it to the Plagiarism sites mentioned above. You may of course also send it to me and I will forward it appropriately. good wishes jc * * * Was life in the *kudds* glamourised?

[Goanet] All for just 72000 hectares-how civil society in Goa wastes its' energy!
do you mean that only about 7 hectares would be left for spatial planning Arch. Edgar Ribeiro who was taking down notes while we were discussing (not a presentation before RP task force) on Oct. 7, 2007 at CM's residence asked me... yes, that's it and therefore the whole RP business does not make sense to me I had replied. Now the government admits in the assembly that RP-2021 excludes 297400 hectares of ecosensitive areas. A fact which forest (govt. and private forests, mangroves) , agriculture, water resources (command areas) , environment (CRZ) etc. depts. always knew and about which I had always written. Goa's total area is (after excluding 700 hactres of area under island of Anjedives surrendered to Indian Navy) stands at 370300 ha. Delete 2974000 of statutorily covered ecosensitive area. Then we are left with just 72900 ha. for any sort of land use planning. Remember this area is distributed over 189 village panchayats, 13 municipal councils and the CCP. A simple calculation would show on average just about 360 ha. per local authority. and for such a minuscule area Goa needs a regional Plan to tie everyone's hands legally, technically, cartographically-for next 11 years, esp. in villages!. A plan which no other smaller or larger state or union territory in India is interested to prepare. A plan which government views academically and as the panchayat minister has assured- Illegal constructions can be legalized Let us see the galaxy of saints who would implement the new regional plan for a mighty area of 72900 hectares (hundreds of talukas or tehsils in India are larger than this). An excellent example of how civil society in Goa wastes its' energy. Now it would be difficult to jump from the RP-2021 ship! be sure that by next assembly election people of Goa would be stripped of all their powers except casting the ballots!

Re: [Goanet] Golden years of Goan sports *correction*
Hi, Earlier (1960-63)... there was Joffre (Menezes?), who was good at the high jump where the head went up first... It was when Fr Joseph Casti (prefect after Fr Moja) used to teach martial arts... for the school sports. Anyone remembers Nishti (Vincy D'Souza, from Anjuna, brother of Joseph D'Souza and Teddy)... they said that he would swim like a fish. Cheers. * * * Was life in the *kudds* glamourised?
