[Goanet] Goa ruled by Goans
Digu is fooling people of Goa and even other ministers and MLAs by saying that high command (Sonia) takes all major decisions. Actually, Sonia perhaps works a maximum of 14 hours a day, which amounts to 420 hours a month. Now, Goa is roughly one:thousandth of India in terms of both area and population. This means Sonia can give atmost half hour per month to Goa affairs. How can Sonia decide about Goa in such a short time at her disposal? And even if she tries it, will not her decisions be less appropriate due to lack of thought process? As far as Goa is concerned, a few miners constitute the High-command. It is they who decide everything and Digu makes it look like a high-command decision. High-command is a convinient word used by Digu to remain in good terms with other ministers and MLAs. Without this magic word, he would have by now alienated many MLAs and perhaps would have by now lost the CMs chair. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Now available in Toronto, a few copies of *Into The Diaspora Wilderness* by Selma Carvalho.

[Goanet] Oak Human Rights Fellowships_We NEED this_BUT for OUR ENDS_Take the philanthropy
*Oak Human Rights Fellowships* The Oak Institute for the Study of International Human Rights was established in 1998 by a generous grant from the Oak Foundation. Each year, it hosts an Oak Human Rights Fellow to teach and conduct research while residing at the College. The Institute organizes lectures and other events centered around the fellow's area of expertise. The purpose of the fellowship is to offer an opportunity for one prominent practitioner in international human rights to take a sabbatical leave from front-line work to spend the fall semester (September-December) in residence at Colby. This provides the Fellow time for respite, reflection, research, and writing. Fellowship will offer a semester in residence at Colby, giving respite from front-line human rights work, a $32,000 stipend, plus medical insurance, transportation, housing and utilities.

Re: [Goanet] Goa to be ruled by Goans
Carmen , The Tar Balls on Goa's beaches in the last few days typifies what is wrong with GoaThis is not the first time it has happened and yet Digambar Ali Baba Kamat and his 40 thieves have no answer, no strategy and no clue on how to deal with this pollution and damage to the environment ...!!! Why? Simple because there is no MONEY FOR THEM IN doing so. They have sent some Ghantis to clear it up by collecting the tar balls and burying them on the beach itself where they could re-surface. Despite this lack of knowledge commitment and leadership on such a simple perennial issue one of Diggu's corrupt thugs namely JOKING ALEMAO is busy trying to rob the land at Cutbona Jetty, Velim from the decent and hard working villagers of Velim against their will to build a fish meal plant of which he knows even less of. His only interest is because of the huge kickback he will make on the plant and on the forced acquisition of the land for peanuts.. These monkeys in the Government should deal with Tar Balls before delving into other unnecessary projects to fill their deep corrupt immoral pockets. The people of Velim, Assolna and Cuncolim will and their supporters throughout the world will fight this corrupt Fisheries Minister tooth and nail to ensure that he deals with the Tar Balls on the Beach and NOT THE DISGUSTING ROTTEN FISH MEAL PLANT AT CUTBONA or to continue their smuggling of Gold that shot him into prominence even if it means tarring his own Balls ! Pray for the success of the Velim Peoples Fight against the Fisheries MINISTER, STINKING FISHY JOKING ALEMAO. On the 1st September 2010 there is another Gram Sabha in Velim that the FISHY JOKING ALEMAO will keep away, from for fear of answering an honest question and having his parts tarred. He should realise that the Tar Balls are a greater threat to Fish and requires greater urgency than a Fish Meal Plant !!! He has enough space in his bedroom to put the plant in The Theft of the land in Quitol by the corrupt peasant MLA and GIDC chairman Babu Chor Kavlekar aided and abetted by other MLA thugs under the pretext of building a foodpark is another such crime that is being and will continue to be fought until the bitter end !! Long may the fights continue for justice honesty and decency and a vindication for the good decent people of Goa and in the diaspora !!! ! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Now available in Toronto, a few copies of *Into The Diaspora Wilderness* by Selma Carvalho.

Re: [Goanet] Selma's Book INTO THE DIASPORA WILDERNESS launched in Goa today
Dear Learned Prof. Augustus, Don't you think that Admin Noronha had his slip showing, perhaps inadvertently? Remember when we were having the pre-launch palaver near the MUSH RUM CHICKEN SAND WITCH counter, Admin Noronha in a candid moment admitted that he had posted pictures of a previous event to the mythical JOGOAUK, the said gent had forestalled him by posting his (Admin Noronha's) pics as his own? Your theory about Riza being the photographer is not only plausible, but probable. Looks like Admin Noronha is trying to 'tie brinjals to our ears' **Kanank vaingim bandta** or in plain Engish, trying to draw red herrings. -- Tony de Sa. tonydesa at gmail dot com M : +91 9975 162 897 Ph. : +91 832 2470 148 ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Now available in Toronto, a few copies of *Into The Diaspora Wilderness* by Selma Carvalho.

[Goanet] Massive downpour of rain failed to dampen GRAF's 'World Konkani Day' celebration in Mumbai
Massive downpour of rain failed to dampen GRAF's 'World Konkani Day' celebration in Mumbai The World Konkani Day 2010 was commemorated by GRAF (Goan Review Art Foundation) on 29th August 2010 at Antonio D'Souza High School, Byculla, Mumbai. Renowned Konkani litterateur and winner of the Sahitya Academy award Mrs. Sheela Kolambkar speaking as the chief guest on the occasion highlighted the various development of the Konkani language and said that the five scripts of Konkani should unite the Konkanis as the five fingers of a fist to come together unitedly and work towards the progress of the language. She also made a mention of Fr. H O Mascarenhas who worked tirelessly to raise the standard of the language then, and complimented Shetgaonkar the young director of the Konkani film 'Poltoddcho Monis' for taking Konkani to greater heights internationally. Konkani activist and entrepreneur, Shri Lawrence D' Souza and President of the Federation of All Goan Clubs, Felix Dias were the guests of honour in the distinguished presence of Shri Gerson da Cunha of AGNI and Rev. Fr. Francis Ramesh, patron of Mandd Sobhann. President of GRAF Fausto V. da Costa in his introductory speech said that although it's 18 years since Konkani has been included in the 8th schedule of the Indian constitution the progress of Konkani has been very slow because people are slowly moving away from Konkani. We tend to use the language commercially rather than making use of it in our day to day lives. In spite of this Konkani has been able to reach this level of success only because of the contribution of a few dedicated persons where as the general public is hardly bothered about this, he further lamented. He also advised the gathering that instead of getting rid of the clubs - the unique heritage of our ancestors - by selling them, we should explore ways of saving them for the generation next.. A minute silence was observed in honour of the doyen of Konkani literature late Ravindra Kelekar and other departed souls. Konkani writer and Tiatrist Mr Peter Vaz de Chandor and Social worker Jeetendra Lotliker were felicitated during the function for their yeoman service to the society and the Konkani language. The Goan Review's Man of the Year 2009-10 - Mr Roque Gonsalves was also honoured with the Goan Review Rolling trophy and a purse at the hands of the chief guest. Konkani Tiatr 'Vantte' written by Rio Rosa was the highlight of the day in the cultural programme that followed. The mando was nostalgic of Goa and so were the Portuguese dance by the children and the mando danced by the adults. Hymn to our patron St Francis Xavier brought the cultural programme to an end. There was not a single moment for the people to think of anything else but what next. In short the audience wanted some more if not for the rain gods playing the spoil sport and time running out. None the less the young and the old joined the dancing sessions. What can be Goan gathering without xacuti, sorpatel and pulao? The crowd enjoyed the mouth water treat till the end.

Re: [Goanet] Invest to earn and save our ancestral heritage homes
Dear All Follow-up to my previous two messages some interesting facts come to light. During the past 15 days since my first message, I happy to inform I got 16 enquiries which I replied individually. Thanks to constant encouragement and guidance from my Friend Renne Barreto, I have just created a blog. http://goanheritagehomes.blogspot.com I hope to make it more interactive with the passage of time. Frankly, I am a novice and do not have much IT skills at hand. My main request was as below: Quote' But to give head start to this project at this stage we need; a) Individuals who can invest minimum 5 lakhs (minimum 5 years*) b) Property owners ready to lease property Full name Current Nationality Current residence Your Ancestral place in Goa Are you Investor? If yes, your investment commitment (in lakhs) ***Are you property owner? If yes, location of property Additional information of property (No’s of rooms, total house area, plot area, estimate value of the property). Contact information Telephone: Email ID Unquote I got this unique request seeking my bio-data/credentials. I am glad to share the same for the benefit of the individual and all other prospective business associates. My Name - Gabriel Agnelo Pinheiro (Gabriel - represent Angel Gabriel, Agnelo - Venerated Fr Agnelo D'souza (Pilar) Pinheiro - Pine tree ( characteristic of Pine Tree - It does not bend, one have to uproot it or cut it). My Education- I am learning. But just finished Most Basic Academics in operations management. My Work experience - Working in a shipping/Logistic industry for past 18 years My net worth- Just enough to feed my family of 4 ( occasionally to feed less fortunate) My credit worthiness - Never borrowed any money from anyone so don't owe to anyone. (My mother said live within your means - spread the mat as per your size) My Business experience - Never thought of it until now. My Political Affiliation - None, but open to any party who will work to safeguard Goa for Goans. Let me stress again, I only want to know if you are interested to be a part of the TEAM (Together everyone Achieve More) to pursue it further. The required number is 20 individuals with commitment to invest atleast Rs 5 lakh. I can assure, you will get better returns on your investment/money then keeping money in the bank. Additional benefits are many but most of all, You and I we will be able to do some thing good of Goa. Merely complaining and criticising the Government and politician will not bring any results. My appeal is more direct to NRG brothers who have stashed their hard earned money in bank to use it as investment tool to save our heritage that we had borrowed from our ancestors to preserve it for future generation. MONEY WILL NOT BE EXCHANGED UNTIL WE HAVE REQUIRED NUMBER OF PEOPLE ONBOARD AND ALL PROCEDURES ARE IN PLACE AS AN ESTABLISHED ENTITY. Lets us pledge and prove ourselves as DOERS and not mere TALKERS.

Re: [Goanet] Goa to be ruled by Goan
There is no governance in Goa since 1961. Goa has been looted by the neo colonial rulers, the elected reps in Goa are mere puppets to the current rule. Billions have been taken from for development of other areas, our civilian airport and other areas have been occupied by outsiders. In short Goa has been stripped! Why do we need democracy to govern.? Can we not have an interim government under the auspices of the UN (the one who encouraged the invasion of Goa) to rule Goa. Or can we not live under one country two system like that of HK and Macau? In other words have our on mini constitution (only an excerpt) as below: BC Preamble Macao, including the Macao Peninsula, Taipa Island and Coloane Island, has been part of the territory of China since ancient times; it was gradually occupied by Portugal after the mid 16th century. On 13 April 1987, the Chinese and Portuguese Governments signed the Joint Declaration on the Question of Macao, affirming that the Government of the People' s Republic of China will resume the exercise of sovereignty over Macao with effect from 20 December 1999, thus fulfilling the long cherished common aspiration of the Chinese people for the recovery of Macao. Upholding national unity and territorial integrity, contributing to social stability and economic development, and taking account of its history and realities, the People' s Republic of China has decided that upon China's resumption of the exercise of sovereignty over Macao, a Macao Special Administrative Region will be established in accordance with the provisions of Article 31 of the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, and that under the principle of one country, two systems, the socialist system and policies will not be practiced in Macao. The basic policies of the People's Republic of China regarding Macao have been elaborated by the Chinese Government in the Sino-Portuguese Joint Declaration. In accordance with the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, the National People's Congress hereby enacts the Basic Law of the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, prescribing the systems to be practiced in the Macao Special Administrative Region, in order to ensure the implementation of the basic policies of the People's Republic of China regarding Macao. Chapter I General Principles Article 1 The Macao Special Administrative Region is an inalienable part of the People's Republic of China. Article 2 The National People' s Congress authorizes the Macao Special Administrative Region to exercise a high degree of autonomy and enjoy executive, legislative and independent judicial power, including that of final adjudication, in accordance with the provisions of this Law. Article 3 The executive authorities and legislature of the Macao Special Administrative Region shall be composed of permanent residents of Macao in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Law. Article 4 The Macao Special Administrative Region shall safeguard the rights and freedoms of the residents of the Macao Special Administrative Region and of other persons in the Region in accordance with law. Article 5 The socialist system and policies shall not be practiced in the Macao Special Administrative Region, and the previous capitalist system and way of life shall remain unchanged for 50 years. Article 6 The right of private ownership of property shall be protected by law in the Macao Special Administrative Region. Article 7 The land and natural resources within the Macao Special Administrative Region shall be State property, except for the private land recognized as such according to the laws in force before the establishment of the Macao Special Administrative Region. The Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region shall be responsible for their management, use and development and for their lease or grant to individuals or legal persons for use or development. The revenues derived therefrom shall be exclusively at the disposal of the government of the Region. Article 8 The laws, decrees, administrative regulations and other normative acts previously in force in Macao shall be maintained, except for any that contravenes this Law, or subject to any amendment by the legislature or other relevant organs of the Macao Special Administrative Region in accordance with legal procedures. Article 9 In addition to the Chinese language, Portuguese may also be used as an official language by the executive authorities, legislature and judiciary of the Macao Special Administrative Region . Article 10 Apart from displaying the national flag and national emblem of the People's Republic of China, the Macao Special Administrative Region may also use a regional flag and regional emblem. The regional flag of the Macao Special Administrative Region is a green flag with five stars, lotus flower, bridge and sea water. The regional

Re: [Goanet] Goa to be ruled by Goans
Tony The Ghantis who are clearing the tar balls in the beaches of Goa should be instructed to take and dump them in the front garden of Joaquim Alemao - that is the only way he may get the message that he needs to be serious about this issue. And Bernardo, We must be realistic. I sincerely don't believe that any other umbrella for Goa will solve the problem of the type of people who are rulling Goa. If we had honest, strong people with vision and above all educated and with some ideals , we could resolve the problem of Goa within India. For years now we have proved that we are not even capable of chosing a decent number of politicians to rule in Goa. Do you really think there is any chance at all we will get a different status for Goa? If we get Presidential rule , that will be enough to put things right. If anyone is ready for action, let us start with fundamentals - start a campaign agaisnt corruption.

[Goanet] Goans in Goa are POW
It is high time Goans living in Goa realise that they are Prisoners Of War. It was in the news recently that one of the Goan Ministers who gets ‘chills’ being behind the ‘Church’ for being a Catholic, that Goa was “Conquered” by India; quoting the Supreme Court. So where are our “Freedom fighters” who take pride in boasting that they have “liberated” Goa hiding? Where is the freedom they harp on that they have given Goa and Goans? Why is the term “Liberation of Goa” being used? I tend to believe this Minister; as in every war, the conquerors always plundered the wealth of the conquered land, they raped their women, took with them some slaves, etc. The intelligentsia always fled and lived in exile. What is happening now in Goa is the same. The intelligentsia have left Goa; Goa is plundered left and right by the Indians, our conquerors. They have taken slaves who are ruling Goa and are forbidden to take any decision without running to the capital of India for receiving Orders from their Masters. Our agricultural land, forests, houses and women too are raped almost daily. A few of the Goans still in Goa who have not fled, are forming a “Resistance Group”; but with no arms and ammunition. Will they succeed?

[Goanet] Bhakti Breaks Into Top Ten in World Chess Rankings!
Bhakti Breaks Top Ten Barrier! Brand Ambassador for Goa Carbon Ltd and Asian Under 18 Girls’ Chess Champion Bhakti Kulkarni progressed into Top Ten World rankings for the first time in her career. Bhakti is ranked No.9 in the Under 18 Girls category in the World with her career best rating of 2294. She was ranked 18th in the July Rating list. Needless to mention, Bhakti has maintained her No. 1 position in Asia. She is already national Junior Champion of India. “These are phenomenal achievements by any standards,” opined Bhakti’s coach Dronacharya awardee Raghunandan Gokhale. With her Asian Gold winning performance in China (July, 2010) and career best play in the World Junior Girls Championships, Poland (August 2010), this petite collegian from Chougule College, Madgao could achieve her dream of finishing in top ten. Bhakti is preparing hard for the forthcoming World Youth Chess Championships scheduled to be held in Greece next month. “I cannot believe that I am ranked in the top ten in the World! But I shall try to improve my rating further,” she assured with determination. Bhakti was Goa State Men’s Champion for three successive years when she was just 11 year old. At the age of ten, Bhakti was awarded International rating of 2086 which still is considered very high for a ten year old girl. Bhakti’s father Pradip Kulkarni said that he is very proud of his daughter. According to Pradip, Grandmaster Adrian Mykhalchishin of Russia has recommended Bhakti to play in Europe to become Women Grandmaster. “Thanks to Goa Carbon Limited, Bhakti can play at least this much,” said Bhakti’s mother Priya Kulkarni. Bhakti is slated to become Goa’s first International Woman Master by end of this month when the World Chess Federation will formally award the title during the Olympiads at Khanty Mansik(Russia). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Now available in Toronto, a few copies of *Into The Diaspora Wilderness* by Selma Carvalho.

[Goanet] Bad news for Portuguese passport holders
[Goanet] Bad news for Portuguese passport holders http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukextra2/4947477307/ Don’t know what Herald is talking about.. The headline itself is contradictory or rather sensational? It says ‘..Portuguese passports holders for the last three years face the risk of deletion of their names from the electoral rolls’ What risk it is talking about? Portuguese Passport Holders, are they losing their properties or bank balances in Goa or what? Once you are a Foreign National, you do not belong here, I mean, you no longer remain a Indian Citizen here. So, NO VOTING RIGHTS. And that’s as simple as that. What risk we are talking about? Once you acquire Portuguese Passport, your name is automatically stroked off in the electoral roll. If you see details online, you will notice few of the entries are deleted (i.e. line strikethrough the entry/name), which could either mean the person has moved his residence either to another part of Goa/India or moved his residence to the lord or another planet. It could also mean, the person is no longer a Citizen of India. Or moved his residence to Swindon etc Just found out that you will now see ‘DELETED’ stamp against your entry, which means you are ‘disqualified’ and letter ‘Q’ is marked before the epic No. to denote that. 21year old disqualified? Yes, because he too acquired Portuguese Passport There are about 20 such disqualified persons in my polling area during the last one year or so. Check this extract (randomly selected) http://electionsgoa.nic.in/pdf/EROLL_2009/014/english/final_Roll/part21.pdf So, how do they do that? Once you acquire Portuguese passport (not Billet d’identidade): 1. You go to Indian Passport office to surrender your Indian Passport (if any) for which you are given a receipt or a surrender letter. And you do that not just because it is your duty to do but because you needed a proof to show at the Immigrations etc at the time of leaving the country. Passport Dept will then pass on your info to other Departments including local Election officers/Dept.. 2. As if above is not enough, you are also required to register yourself with the Foreigner Registration Section, Police Head Quarters, Panjim. There again, you give all your newly acquired foreign passport details by filling up forms in triplicates, pay fees etc and you get a rubber stamp on your new passport in return. Usually on last page you will see something like this ‘ Panaji, Goa RC No. 302/PORT/2010 Dated 16/08/2010’ Once your foreign travel itinerary fixed/confirmed, you then go back to FRO to report your Departure and you will have to do this at least one week in advance. They will then issue you a letter which is also required at the immigration. Please note: This auto-deletion in practice for about last 2 years or so. Those left before that may still have their names on the roll. Yet, there may be a few who got away with it.

Mr Bernardo Colaco I was born in Goa, I lived in Goa, I studied in Goa, I am frequent visitor to Goa , but my visits are mostly to just work on trying to improve things in Goa. I don't have any interests or any thing in Goa at all except my heart. It is my homeland, the land of my forefathers and that alone is enough for me to be serious about what I am trying to do, including the campaign on mining in Goa, which is going fine thank you very much; it is a longterm struggle which I am trying to tackle strategically and with lots of groundwork. This is a campaign that concerns all goans and I hope you all will support us when we call for help! As for corruption - give me one example of a country where there is no corruption. We must fight it day and night, and try everything to eradicate it from Goa.

Re: [Goanet] Goa to be ruled by Goans
Hi Benedict, Only NRI’s? Only if the Government is open about granting proper dual citizenship will it have much meaning. Of all the Goans listed by you as living in various countries overseas, can you say how many of these Goans are NRI’s? I would say very few indeed, if you stop counting those in the Gulf region. Here in Australia we have a great example of how the Italians have their own representatives elected to the Italian Parliament from among Italians in Australia! Any one of Italian descent can get registered as a dual Italian citizen with the right to vote. Only when this happens to Indians who hold other citizenships, will something really change. I love Bernard’s idea about an interim Government. After all, Goa was invaded against the wishes of blue blooded Goans.

Even as we speak the so called gang of 7 or 9 MLAs maybe plotting against Digambar Ali Baba Kamat who spends all his time looking over his shoulder or removing the knives from his back.

[Goanet] Mumbai Curtain-raiser
Curtain-raiser at Mumbai -- Mumbai, Aug 29:The curtain-raiser ceremony of the first World Konkani Cultural Convention by Mandd Sobhann was held at Rang Sharada Auditorium, Bandra (west), here on Sunday August 29. Maharashtra CM Ashok Chavan inaugurated the programme with the Konkani tradition of presenting a water-filled jug of vessel along with a plate of betel leaves and areca nut to the dignitaries, including heads of music troupes, and also by distributing the invitation cards to them. CM Ashok Chavan after inaugurating the programme said that he was happy to be accorded with a traditional Konkani honour and observed that Marathi and Konkani have several similarities. The strength of a community lies in fostering its mother tongue. The communities will progress and achieve growth if the government takes appropriate steps to address the various issues concerning the use of mother tongue, he added. Ronald Colaco, president of the reception committee, in his keynote address said that the Konkani speaking people have contributed immensly to the socio-economic growth of the nation, hence the government must consider extending its support to keep Konkani language alive. Colaco also said that Konkani as a language has no barrier and is spoken by a cross section of people coming from different creeds, castes and regions. Moreover, Konkani has very strong roots and it is the duty of every Konkani speaking individual to preserve as well as promote the language. Ronald Colaco's appeal to the Maharashtra CM to set up Konkani Cultural Centre prompted the chief minister to announce that the state government would allot a plot for building the Centre in the city and that it will also grant a sum of Rs 25 lac to Mandd Sobhann in support of the convention. The state health and family welfare minister Suresh H Shetty, Rajya Sabha member Oscar Fernandes, Bank of Maharastra CEO Allen C A Pereira, Ryan International Group of Education Institutions managing director Grace Pinto and Blossom Fernandes were the guests of honour. Minister Suresh Shetty said that Konkani is widely spoken by the people regardless of caste, creed or religion. It is a delight that it has grown into a significant Indian language. Nearly 10 lac Konkani speaking people are in Mumbai and about 15 lac in the state, said the minister. He also assured that the state administration intends to contribute for the setting up of Konkani Cultural Centre for the benefit of the Konkani speaking population, in recognition of their significant contribution to Mumbai. Grace Pinto in her keynote address said that Konkani and Marathi communities share a special bond. She urged the state administration to reserve at least two seats in the state legislature for the Konkani speaking community, as there is a sizeable number of people of Konkan origin in the state. Allen Pereira opined that excessive love of western languages was unjustified and that Konkani has embedded itself into contemporary culture. Appreciating the efforts of Mandd Sobhann in organising the convention, Oscar Fernandes said that Mandd Sobhann has brought international recognition to Konkani and its distinct folklore. Maharashtra has maximum population of Konkani speakers in the country. Although Konkani has been included in the eighth schedule of our Constitution, every Konkani speaker has the responsibility to promote and preserve the language, he said. Mumbai Pradesh Congress women wing president Janet Lawrence D’Souza and executive president Ronald Mendonca were also present on the dais. Mandd Sobhann Gurkaar Eric Ozario delivered the introductory address. World Konkani Cultural Convention Reception Committee President Ronald Colaco dwelt on the splendour of Konkani and extolled the contribution of Mandd Sobhann in promoting Konkani language and culture worldwide. Fr Ramesh Bandodkar, Lawrence Pinto, Ancy Paladka, Dolphy D’Souza Bantwal, Ronald Gomes, Stany Alvares, Naveen Lobo, Roy Castelino and others honoured the dignitaries. Lawrence D’Souza Kamani proposed the vote of thanks. Arun Raj Rodrigues compered the programme. Goan dance and song was performed by ‘Kepechim Kirnnam’ (Elvis Goes and group), as part of cultural programme. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Now available in Toronto, a few copies of *Into The Diaspora Wilderness* by Selma Carvalho.

Re: [Goanet] Goa to be ruled by Goans
My dear Oscar, I will enter this discussion once more and then return to my corner. Perhaps, Goans will determine for themselves the following. a: Why did the electorate in Goa vote the Congress - the last time around? Were Goans not aware of corruption? b: Do anyone among us know of ANY post-1961 govt that has not been corrupt? c: Do anyone among us know of ANY post-2010 party that will not be corrupt? d: Who would have benefited if Goans (from the Gulf) had accepted Anesimo et al's recommendation the last time around - to Support Mathany so as to Give Jolt to the Corrupt Congress? e: Do you guys remember what happened in the House to the Velim MLA who was physically bundled out? May I ask Mathany IF he protested that and HOW? f: Who was generating energy for this 'Swadeshi Catholic' nonsense - whatever it meant? g: Who organised the funding for that disastrous and communally-laden Video CD? h: Was it to be distributed to the schools in Goa? Did Mathany have a reaction to it and if so What and When? I will say this again - so bear with me: [1] I do not trust politicians. Thus far the Goa politicians have demonstrated ( almost invariably since 1976 at least) that by way of omission or commission, they are members of the Alibaba gang. [ You may wish to note that 'honrado' politicians of the genre of Jack de Sequeira, Eduardo Faleiro, Gopal Appa Kamat, Vasu Sarmalkar are not running for office these days] [2] Closely watch folks who criticise (rightly no doubt) only one set of politicians [3] Let ALL who advise us - also please declare that they are not receiving overseas funds to 'stage-manage' events in Goa. This specifically includes the 'busing in of folks for events'. [4] It is quite nonsensical to give the Italian-Australian example with the hope that it will apply to Goa. Italy may allow dual-nationality like many European countries, Australia too may allow it. India does not allow 'full' dual nationality. Furthermore, according to the Indian Constitution, ANY Indian citizen has the freedom to enter, work and reside in Goa (post 1961). That citizen WILL with time have the right to vote in Goa. If you think Goans are in a minority now do wait for the next election cycle. [5] Goans should just accept the facts of life and move on - instead of getting caught up with politicians and their agents. [6] If I was resident in Goa, I would also accept the fact that politicians are corrupt to one degree or another. Hence, I would determine which outfit has the tendency of additionally being communal ...and stay away from it. ps: If one really feels like making a small contribution to Goa Support Goa Sudharop and Carmen Miranda's effort for the environment. It might not stop the eventual arrival of the juggernaut - but at least one will feel that one did one's best. just my view jc On 1 September 2010 06:52, Benedict Lobo wrote: Hi Anesimo, I presume you meant to send your appended e-mail of date to me for information or to Benedict and wrongly addressed to me.

We need to learn to overcome our knee jerk reactions (something I believe as Goans we have in our DNA composition) and hold on to answers for a day or two before responding for a great result. Let us breathe during that time for inspirations in our responses. It is only by such interaction between us that we will learn to manage people if we as Goans come to fruition in ruling Goa. – Paradigm change starts right from today if we are to succeed.

Colaco My dear Oscar, I will enter this discussion once more and then return to my corner. Perhaps, Goans will determine for themselves the following. a: Why did the electorate in Goa vote the Congress - the last time around? Were Goans not aware of corruption? b: Do anyone among us know of ANY post-1961 govt that has not been corrupt? c: Do anyone among us know of ANY post-2010 party that will not be corrupt? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Now available in Toronto, a few copies of *Into The Diaspora Wilderness* by Selma Carvalho.

[Goanet] NRIs get right to vote
Lets be clear about this topic. I am sure that what the Government wants to do is allow Indian Nationals abroad to vote in Elections in India by absentee ballots. The term NRIs covers a lot of people. Indians who have taken up UK, USA, Canadian, Australian citizenship including yours truly are still loosely referred to as NRIs and even though they may have a PIO or OCI card, they will not have the right to vote in India. Many countries have the absentee ballot provision. I am surprised that India which has its citizens living in various countries all around the world, still does not have this facility. I am a US citizen living in India and make it a point to vote in my local and national elections in the USA by absentee ballot. The ballot is sent to me by mail and I mail it back. I hope India extends this facility to all its citizens no matter where they are. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Now available in Toronto, a few copies of *Into The Diaspora Wilderness* by Selma Carvalho.

Dear Goenkars I was wondering if you have a clear idea, a dream, a vision for an ideal GOA you would like to see in the near future? If we have a clear idea, we can start planning strategically on how to achieve that dream ! So what is your vision for Goa in the next 10 to 15 years? And any ideas about how to achieve that dream or vision?

Re: [Goanet] Invest to earn and save our ancestral heritage homes
Dear Agnelo, I would like to be a part of it , but excuse me i may not want to answer all the questions but a few i can manage , the earlier you form a registered organization the better it will be from the view point of trustworthy, transparency, accountability, etc there could be many who want to be a part of this but since it is not a registered entity it becomes a bit dicey. It's just my opinion but kudos to you for this well thought positive idea. Rene knows me well too.

During the past 15 days since my first message, I happy to inform I got 16 enquiries which I replied individually. Thanks to constant encouragement and guidance from my Friend Renne Barreto, I have just created a blog. http://goanheritagehomes.blogspot.com I hope to make it more interactive with the passage of time. Frankly, I am a novice and do not have much IT skills at hand. My main request was as below: Quote' But to give head start to this project at this stage we need; a) Individuals who can invest minimum 5 lakhs (minimum 5 years*) b) Property owners ready to lease property Full name Vivek Araujo Current Nationality Indian Current residence Altinho Panjim Goa Your Ancestral place in Goa Loutulim Are you Investor? Not really though. If yes, your investment commitment (in lakhs) We can discuss later. ***Are you property owner?Not yet If yes, location of property Additional information of property (No’s of rooms, total house area, plot area, estimate value of the property). Contact information Altinho Panjim Goa Telephone: Email IDvivek_araujo2...@yahoo.com Unquote I got this unique request seeking my bio-data/credentials. I am glad to share the same for the benefit of the individual and all other prospective business associates. My Name - Gabriel Agnelo Pinheiro (Gabriel - represent Angel Gabriel, Agnelo - Venerated Fr Agnelo D'souza (Pilar) Pinheiro - Pine tree ( characteristic of Pine Tree - It does not bend, one have to uproot it or cut it). My Education - I am learning. But just finished Most Basic Academics in operations management. My Work experience - Working in a shipping/Logistic industry for past 18 years My net worth - Just enough to feed my family of 4 ( occasionally to feed less fortunate) My credit worthiness - Never borrowed any money from anyone so don't owe to anyone. (My mother said live within your means - spread the mat as per your size) My Business experience - Never thought of it until now. My Political Affiliation - None, but open to any party who will work to safeguard Goa for Goans. Let me stress again, I only want to know if you are interested to be a part of the TEAM (Together everyone Achieve More) to pursue it further. The required number is 20 individuals with commitment to invest atleast Rs 5 lakh. I can assure, you will get better returns on your investment/money then keeping money in the bank. Additional benefits are many but most of all, You and I we will be able to do some thing good of Goa. Merely complaining and criticising the Government and politician will not bring any results. My appeal is more direct to NRG brothers who have stashed their hard earned money in bank to use it as investment tool to save our heritage that we had borrowed from our ancestors to preserve it for future generation. MONEY WILL NOT BE EXCHANGED UNTIL WE HAVE REQUIRED NUMBER OF PEOPLE ONBOARD AND ALL PROCEDURES ARE IN PLACE AS AN ESTABLISHED ENTITY. Lets us pledge and prove ourselves as DOERS and not mere TALKERS. We have to WALK the TALK hand in hand. For more info on me: http://www.facebook.com/agnelo.pinheiro http://goanheritagehomes.blogspot.com Warm regards, Agnelo Pinheiro BTW.

Re: [Goanet] Goa to be ruled by Goans
Dear Carmen, Yes, there will be a clear vision once we engage our Goans in a proper forum and ensure we are not all over the place. We have learnt a lot on what discipline can achieve, I for one being of Jesuit educational background from St. Britto’s school and a little observation of how Goa was ruled prior to 19 December 2010 helped me to grow. I respect Soter even though he may be thinking he is always right. In the words of Steven R. Covey – 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, we need to see the end in the beginning. We need to get rid of the book in our personal libraries – How to win and influence people by Dale Carnegie; this book has thought methods that many not necessarily achieve results and people go out giving “Impressao” rather than seriously contributing to the actual issues confronting particularly Goans. All the ideas, dream, vision and mission will only come if we have the right ideas with right people. The search should be on before we find the solution and while the music for quick steps is being played. It would be good to select a committee, please give a thought, then prepare our Vision, Mission and a Business plan after removing the shaft from the wheat in this debate and present it to whoever the committee decides. For a start we should contemplate who amongst will see the vision in a combined basis and help with the mission. The committee should be of a reasonable number as too large a committee has detrimental effect of a group dynamism amongst us Goans. You are spot on with your questions and let us see what comes out of this brain storming e-mail exercise and not what Sorter thinks. Recad tucam! Oscar C. Lobo Melbourne.
