Definition of *MS.*
—used instead of *Miss* or *Mrs.* (as when the marital status of a woman is
unknown or irrelevant) <*Ms.* Mary Smith>

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ms.?show=0&t=1288566478

Also check this wonderful Article, which I do hope enlightens you, somewhat!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/feb/25/gender.uk

When one knows for certain that one is a married woman than one does not use
the term Ms, it's Mrs.   Ms is used when one is uncertain whether the woman
is married or not, especially when addressing a business letter written to a
woman of unknown martial status. In this case I have met Mrs Selma's
husband, I would find it difficult to write Ms, no matter how emancipated
she may be!

Fredrick Noronha says: "You could rake up meaningless communal issues.
You could join the corruption bandwagon. Or the lobby of the
brotherhood of khaki shorts swearing to fight dynastic politics while
creating another set of dubious heroes."

[2]
U. G. Barad  asks: And between the corruption
bandwagon and the khaki shorts, which one does
Fredrick choose? FN would you prefer to answer this question by just
saying "corruption bandwagon" or "khaki shorts", for there is no need
of any justification for your answer.
==

JC's comment (once again, plagiarised from the comments of Frederick and Aires):

Dr. U.G. Barad has done a gotcha on Frederick. Which one do you
prefer, Frederick? the Communal ones or the Corrupt ones? I am not
sure whether Dr. U.G. Barad is in favour of or in opposition to
(directly or by way of result) the communal chaps?

BTW1 : It looks as though Dr. U.G. Barad is implying that FN and his
ilk might be Kangresswallas just because they advocate an alternate
system of government than "communalism"?

I'd really ask IF Goa ever had  corruption-free government?

BTW2: I also believe that it is a "mistaken misconception" to think
that the Communal cannot be simultaneously Corrupt.

[Goanet] Halloween, or celebrating the living dead

Here are some truly disgusting Halloween pictures of mine.

Re: [Goanet] Goa: The Cruellest Inquisition

2010-10-31 Thread Santosh Helekar

It is clear from the literature that we do not know much about the history of 
inquisition in Goa. Recently, one of our prominent Goan historians had chalked 
out a promising research project to translate some primary sources stored in 
the national library in Brazil. A few of us were enthusiastic about supporting 
the effort financially, prominent among whom were Eric, Valmiki and George. But 
most Goans who read about the appeal did not have any interest in and/or 
commitment to knowing about our history as revealed through the primary 
sources. In fact, one of them appeared to be actively cynical of and opposed 
to, this effort. He happens to be the self-appointed supurlo Goencar. So his 
interest in this part of Goan history appears to be similar to that of Konraad 
Elst in Indian history. The same is true to lesser degree with one of the 
administrators of Goanet.

Cheers,

Santosh

Re: [Goanet] The accidental activist: The mighty Goan warrior

2010-10-31 Thread soter

Dr. Anil,
The catch is in the label 'Accidental Activist'. This is quite different from 
'Activist By Choice' or 'Activist by Vocation'. In the modern activist world, 
the one who screams the loudest is the hero. It is about selling an issue. 
Agressive and sensational marketing is the path to prosperity. Social Activism 
is today a profession which can be learnt in a factory and meant for the global 
donor markets and not for us Pedrus and Narans. It is about social 
entrepreneurship.
Let Go and Let live!

COMMENT: Dear Marshall,

You have used a sledge hammer to crack a nut, I believe most of us know
fully well the political as well as right wing sentiments expressed by UG
BARAD.

[Goanet] MICKY - JOSE BRAWL

 

Further to my earlier message on the comment by Fredrick Noronha, I have
something more to add.

 

Fredrick says: "You could rake up meaningless communal issues. You could
join the corruption bandwagon. Or the lobby of the brotherhood of khaki
shorts swearing to fight dynastic politics while creating another set of
dubious heroes."

 

In what way is there a communal angle in this brawl?

 

And between the corruption bandwagon and the khaki shorts, which one does
Fredrick choose? FN would you prefer to answer this question by just saying
"corruption bandwagon" or "khaki shorts", for there is no need of any
justification for your answer. 

 

Best regards,

 

U. G. Barad

[Goanet] Strip the skin_ Manjula Padmanabhan

Interesting essay.

Excerpt 1 from Strip the skin, an essay by Manjula Padmanabhan.
When Blondie throws a jar of mustard at Dagwood’s head, Indian readers are
unlikely to think “Oo! Husband abuse!” But if a sari-clad, middle-class,
middle-brow Indian Blondie were to follow suit, Indian readers would very
likely howl with righteous disapproval. In Bombay’s *Sunday Observer* edited
by Vinod Mehta, where Suki made her debut in a strip called *Doubletalk*,
readers whined about her constantly, calling the strip a “horrible eyesore”,
“Double Gawk”, “dragging and brazenly repetitive”. The reason I was able to
carry on was that I had my editor’s full support. That was almost three
decades ago. Today? I don’t know which newspaper editor would champion a
lowly strip cartoonist against sustained reader-rancour.

One way to assess a newspaper, media, etc. (vjp)
Except 2
The choice of what appears on the comics page is usually made by one person,
most often a senior editor. If he/she is essentially conservative, the
strips will present a cheery, upbeat and broadly right-wing view of the
world.

[Goanet] Church Land: Going, Going, Gone

2010-10-31 Thread Marshall Mendonza

 U G Barad:
Marshall Mendonza tried to clear the cloud gathered after reading Gabe
Menezes's posting titled as in the subject line. (Marshall's posting
reference: Goanet Digest, Vol 5, Issue 1181, Message 3, dated: Saturday,
October 30, 2010 6:04 AM)

After reading complete article (responses Para wise) forwarded by Marshall,
few questions pops up, they are:

1) In the first place, how did the church have the possession of the said
property in question?
2) Was it gifted / donated for any specific purpose!
3) If it is gifted / donated, what do the deed papers say?

In absence of above clarifications, the clouds will continue to gather
suspecting vested interests like another Adarsh Housing scam! In this case
too, till date, and till this time, the concerned authorities are bent on
saying that there is no scam - Hope Maharashtra CM Ashok Chavan has not
vacate his chair for scam!!
Response:
1. In the first place I have not tried to 'clear any clouds'.( I did not see
any clouds anyway) I have merely posted the riposte to the article posted by
Gabe which I came across in The Examiner magazine so that the other point of
view is also available.
2. Talking about property / land scams, here is one which should keep your
mind engaged as you seem very keen on property issues. Kindly revert to us
with your research, findings and explanations whenever time permits.


Muck.Gov.Ka 
Corruption rules his government more than Yediyurappa his state
Sugata 
Srinivasaraju

Forget the head count in the Karnataka assembly for a moment. Perhaps it is
more pertinent to ask if the B.S. Yediyurappa government has violated the
trust of the people. Has the first BJP government in the south, which has
been in power for less than 30 months, shot itself in the foot? Have the
many scams it’s embroiled in eroded its credibility? Has it become
indifferent to corruption and governance? Is it fair to ask if it’s the
worst administration Karnataka’s ever seen?

If one goes by the statements of Karnataka Lokayukta Justice N. Santosh
Hegde, who has thoroughly exposed the government on issues pertaining to
illegal mining and most recently on land acquisition, then this is clearly
the absolute nadir (see interview). In Karnataka, corruption starts right at
the top. Here are some of the scams that made news:

*The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) Scam:* This involves the chief
minister. He is accused of denotifying government land to favour his sons
and son-in-law. The final notification for the land acquired by the BDA in
Rachenahalli village of Krishnarajapuram to form Arkavathy Layout was issued
in 2004. But the CM’s family is alleged to have purchased land already in
BDA’s possession and got it denotified in clear violation of all rules. Once
the land is purchased, it can be sold back to the BDA. After this case came
to light, more papers relating to the irregular denotification surfaced this
month. In yet another case, Yediyurappa was accused of denotifying BDA land
in Nagarbhavi, Bangalore, ignoring both high court and Supreme Court rulings
which said no to such denotification.

Topping this all, however, was the CM allotting a discretionary quota BDA
site to his MP-son, B.Y. Raghavendra, in 2009. Contrary to reality,
Raghavendra had submitted an affidavit stating he didn’t own any property in
Bangalore to get land in the city’s upmarket rmv 2nd stage locality. Other
than his son, Yediyurappa had allotted these ‘G category’ sites to some of
his friends and relatives. Confronted by all the charges flying around, the
CM’s only reaction was that he hasn’t done anything his predecessors haven’t
done already. Though no figure’s been attached to the scam, it’ll easily run
into hundreds of crores.

*The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) Land Swindle:* The
Lokayukta’s exposure of the massive scam in the land acquisition process of
the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board in October was easily the
tipping point for this government. In this case, the powerful IT minister
Katta Subramanya Naidu and his entire family came under the scanner while
his son Katta Jagadish, a BJP corporator, was also arrested when he tried to
bribe a complainant.



 Confronted by the various charges, the CM’s response: he hasn’t done
anything his predecessors haven’t.


The scam dates to the time when Katta Naidu was the industries minister in
the JD(S)-BJP coalition government. Land was acquired for an SEZ floated by
Itasca Software and another US-based company near Bangalore’s new
international airport. Of the 300 acres acquired, nearly 13 acres were
alleged to have have been bought cheap by Katta Naidu’s family earlier with
the prior knowledge of the coming acquisition. A compensation of Rs 41 lakh
per acre was given for land close to the main road, while Rs 31 lakh per
acre was paid for land a little away. Later

[Goanet] another low for aroon purie (VM, in Tambdimati.com)

Dear People,
Interesting to see some adult education has begun -- may the phrase,
bitch-slap have a long run.

Pray that we have more Aroon Purie's, since they are doing a good jib-job of
jabbing Goans towards ire. Woooh! Its a beginning.

Konknni -- kolgem-thapot (please improve on this)? Tu mughel'em kolgem ani
tuca hanv thaptaitolom. Inglezint bitchu-slap mhunta zan'  tum? Chol, ready
--ek, don, Goa bitch-slap. Kossem lagle. Fort murre -- ghetai ek? Voi, peg!
Na baba, peg nhu. Tench re attan dill'em tem.

[Goanet] Dr Koenraad Elst on Ayodhya


Gabe Menezes asks: "Why does U.G. Barad or any other Indian need an
endorsement from a bloody foreigner, only when it fits nicely into their own
mindset?"

My response: 

Just because Dr Elst is a foreigner does it make his arguments wrong? And, I
would not be incorrect if I say that the arguments put forward by Dr Elst
have been made by many Indians as well. 

Having said this, I want be surprised if Gabe rephrases his query saying
"why at all an endorsement is required from any Indian when the matter has
to settled by the court of law"

Gabe, let us look at the message, and not shoot the messenger.

Best regards,

U G Barad

[Goanet] CARRY ON GOAN TRADITION Goan Christmas Sweet Making and Tasting

2010-10-31 Thread renebarreto


 


   *CARRY ON GOAN TRADITION *


Global Goenkars !! 

We Talk  - we Write - we Lecture  - we PREACH ... about preserving 
our Goan Identity-Culture -Heritage -Cuisine - and  all  things  Goan ..and 
most of the time , it ends up with no action- for most of us.  I believe , We 
can not say the same about the  Goans in Canada - and more importantly 
the GOA  TORONTO. They have a VISION and that is best described at  
http://www.goatoronto.com/vision.html   - which  I believe , they try and 
live  up to. 

Last Year  GOA Toronto under the supervision of Marcelina Dias  - their Cultural
Secretary  - organized a  ** Goan Christmas Sweet Making  and  Tasting **  
event 
in November, 2009 it was a great success. 
http://www.goatoronto.com/news/announcements/christmas-sweet-cooking-class-a-success.html


I was very impressed ,  I  wrote to Marcelina that the  WORLD ALLIANCE OF 
GOAN  ASSOCIATIONS and Goans in general had shown an interest in organizing  ** 
Goan Christmas   Sweet Making and Tasting **  event .

Marcelina responded positively and favorably to my email - volunteering to help 
- and support our Goans and Goan Associations  - in their sweet making events 
 .. 

Thank you  Marcelina for your TIME , thank you GOA TORONTO - for being an 
example to  us  GLOBAL GOANS.  TOGETHER we are building a better GOAN 
WORLD. 
  
Here I share her email response to my email

Hi Rene,

I wish you good luck in your efforts to bring all Goan organizations together.  
It brings the following saying to my mind "Together We  Stand, Divided We Fall".


The G.O.A. Goan Christmas Sweet Making and Tasting event in November, 2009 was 
a   big success.  It was encouraging to see all age groups eager to learn how 
to 
make our traditional sweets.  I have attached an article that was printed  
in the 
G.O.A.'s Pulse newsletter and Goan Voice that summarizes the popularity of the 
event.  Also attached is the *flyer, recipe book that was distributed to all 
participants and some photos.  


I will be happy to provide any guidance to those associations wishing to hold a 
similar event.  My phone # and email are listed below.


Best regards,

Marcelina Dias

( * You may request for - if you are unable to  downlaod) 






The G.O.A. held its first Goan Sweet Making and Tasting event on Sunday, 
November 15th, 2009 at Vic Johnson Community Centre in Mississauga.  It 
was  encouraging to receive a huge response to this event, this proves that 
Goans are  keen to learn and continue Goan traditions. 


In preparation for Christmas, 130 adults and children learned how to make five 
Goan sweets: DocedeGrao, Bathk (Batica), Bolinhas, Kulkuls and  Corambolas.  
The 
 event was opened to children because they prepare the sweets with their 
mothers   and/or grandmothers.  It was nice to see three generations together. 


Flevi Rodrigues demonstrated Bathk in simple steps.  The highlight of the event 
was Martha Patel presenting DocedeGrao, the microwave method, reducing the 
effort and time while not compromising the taste.  We live in an environment 
where time is of the essence, any short cuts and tips are appreciated.  
Participants were also introduced to frozen shredded coconut from India.  This 
eliminates the need to break a fresh coconut, grate and mince it.  Samples of 
Deep Shredded Coconut were distributed,  courtesy of Deep Canada.  After a step 
by step demonstration on how to make Kulkuls and Carambolas dough by Joana 
Nunes, guests were invited to a hands-on session on how to fold and make  these 
sweets.

Did you know there are more than 22 Goan sweets?  Each attendee also received a 
recipe book which included some popular Goan sweets, a couple of Canadian 
Christmas favorites and cooking tips.  Participants shared their Christmas 
traditions like preparing Kuswar (a tray of assorted sweets, fruit and nuts) 
and exchanging it with their family, friends and neighbours.  Later everybody 
enjoyed a cup of hot masala tea/coffee with a sampling of all the sweets that 
were made that afternoon.

An array of Goan utensils was showcased; this brought back memories of Goa. 
HemaPereira did an excellent job of the display and labeling the items  in 
Konkani. 

The emcee, Michelle Dias kept the crowd entertained and on their toes by asking 
Goan trivia questions as there were lots of giveaways to be won. 


Thank you to  all the helpers that made this event a tremendous success.  Here 
is  to many more Goan cooking classes!

 Venantius,
 I am  glad  you have  bothered  to  point  out t he  cavalier  and  
callous attitude  that  the  fat-cat ministers  and  bureaucrats treat  
the  working  class in India. While  most of the   media in India 
trumpet on about the economic miracle in India  few   will bother  to  
admit  that the  majority  of  folk in  India ,especially in the  rural 
 areas are  living  way  below  the  poverty line...while  
obscenely wealthy industrialists who  garner the  lion`s  share  of the 
 wealtheg;  the  Ambanis  who are building  a gigantic  urban  
palaace in--Mumbai or  the  liquor  baron  Mr. Mallya  flies  his  
enormous  private  jet and  parks  his  equally large  yacht on the   
river  Mandovi . These  rich are   almost like the  French  royalty  
deposed  in  the  French  revolution  who  wallowed in  their  wealth  
while  their peasant-subjects  starved-
 The   federal politicians and  bureaucrats  who  award themselves  
huge  double digit  raises  while  farmers best by drought  and  famine 
committed ssuicide by the hundreds in Maharashtra are no  better.
 Did  you  notice how  many  Supreme  Court  justices at the  federal 
and  State  level refused  to  allow disclosure of  their  assets  as  
it   would reveal the  obvious corruption of  a large   section of  the 
 judiciary ?
  As  Eric Pinto  pointed  out  a  couple  of  weeks  ago a nation 
that  is  spending almost  45 % ?? of  its  GNP  on  expensive 
armaments while  a large  percentage of  its  population do not  have  
clean drinking  water, sewage  and  clean  sanitation should its  own   
people  first  before  trying  to  project  a " Bharat Shining " image.
 Unfotunately  we  goans  in Goa  are  being  dragged  into the same 
attitudeespecially  our  politicians...read  Lionel

entertainment as  related  to Goa `s  budget .

A glimpse of Indian modernity. The kind of stuff which when pointed out gets
panties, langots, knickers, chaddis, and underwear in a wad.

Countering social activists' argument that Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee
had promised "a real wage of Rs. 100" for MGNREGA employees in his Union
Budget speech in July 2009, Arvind Mayaram, additional secretary and
financial adviser in the rural development ministry, said, "The minister
said that we are committed to providing a wage of Rs. 100... he didn't say
that we shall provide it."

It is shocking that a senior bureaucrat, who recently got a 45 percent raise
under the Sixth Central Pay Commission, would base his opinion on such petty
wordplay.

[Goanet] Saga of the Kunbi sari (Herald/Opinion)

2010-10-31 Thread Goanet A-C-E!


Goa, Wednesday 27 October, 2010
Saga of the Kunbi sari

On Saturday at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week in New Delhi, Goan 
designer Wendell Rodricks got a standing ovation. This is not new for 
Wendell, one of the country's top fashion designers. But this time it 
was very special. The applause was for a collection based on the 
distinctive checked saris of Goa's Kunbi tribes. The humble hand-loom 
traditional nine-yard Goan Kunbi sari became the toast ofthe country's 
foremost fashion aficionados.


Wendell took the simple cloth that has draped the women Of Goa's 
remotest rural regions and turned it into a thing of beauty. He started 
his project to revive this ethnic sari over seven years back. The 
present collection — giving the Kunbi sari a contemporary style — was in 
the pipeline since July 2009. Sourcing traditional hand weavers and 
looms was not easy, but he persevered. After working closely with 
traditional shavers, Wendell managed to fulfil his ambition "to leave 
behind a legacy of Goan weaving heritage".


The designer feels that Goa needs to create its own place in ethnic and 
traditional collections. What better way than having its own sari? Many 
states have traditional saris, but till now, Goa had none. Wendell 
succeeded in full measure. Raghav Silika wrote in the 'Hindustan Times': 
The Kunbi sari has perhaps been the biggest revelation of the Wills 
Lifestyle India Fashion Week so far. The Goan designer [Wendell 
Rodricks] has created something out of the box, something totally unique 
which people not only in Goa will wear but even sari lovers around the 
world will appreciate; the very first Goan-made sari."


The collection goes far beyond the traditional. In Wendell's skilful 
hands, the Kunbi sari has undergone a remarkable transformation. The 
colours have moved from the usual red to a palette of evocative pastel 
shades, using organic eco-friendly dyes in shades of ivory, sand-washed 
greys, subtle greens from guava leaf and Manjista, laterite shades using 
iron-ore, blues with conjee and indigo blue, reds from pomegranate, etc.


In his fabric, Wendell has skilfully mixed cotton and silk, woven and 
knits. There are crinkled cottons, dupione silks, cotton lycra jerseys, 
organzas and silk jacquards. The clothes included traditionally and 
innovatively draped saris, as well as very contemporary asymmetric 
backless tunics, multi layered skirts, tube dresses with hand woven 
straps, envelope kaftans, and halter dresses with asymmetric hemlines. 
Many were embellished with Gulmohar leaf brocade patterns. And all had 
the Kunbi weave.


But Wendell has not stopped at wowing the national capital's beautiful 
people. He has presented Kunbi saris to President Pratibha Patil, 
Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Goa's first lady Asha 
Kamat as well as prominent Indian women who wear cotton saris, like 
actress Nandita Das. He has also submitted a project to the Goa 
Department of Higher Education, to implement a training programme to 
revive weaving as a handicraft in the state. And, it is very heartening 
to note that that the Goa Tourism Department has supported his efforts. 
Let us hope this show breaks new ground and gives a new lease of life to 
the nearly extinct art of Kunbi sari weaving.  (ENDS)

Soon, special officers to ensure smoking-free public places

If you are a smoker, please watch out! You might be booked
for smoking in a public place. The designated officers to enforce
legislation prohibiting use of tobacco and related products will
be in place shortly.

Atmaram Deshpande, SP Security, Special Cell while speaking
at a media workshop on Saturday here said the designated officers
will be appointed for enforcing the legislation and the notification
in this respect will be issued soon. In November, each police station
will have a designated officer not less than a rank of police
sub-inspector, he said.

The Control of Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) prohibits smoking
in hotels, restaurants, workplaces, shopping malls, cinema halls,
educational institutions and libraries, hospitals, auditorium, open
auditorium, amusement centers, stadium, railway stationand bus stop.

Earlier, while responding to a question Deshpande pointed out that
complete ban on tobacco in Goa will not work unless there is
comprehensive legislation coming from the Centre.

Where’s the ban on Gutka?
Jyothi Sardessai, Deputy Director of Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) while participating in the discussion said porous borders have
made it difficult to implement the ban on gutka even as they conduct
regular raids.

While Gutka is banned in Goa it is not in Karnataka and Maharashtra
and easily smuggled here. However, Sardessai said since
implementation of the Act, FDA has conducted 90 raids, booked
73 cases and collected over Rs 29 lakhs as fine.

Pamela Mascarenhas, deputy director, Department of Tourism and
Dr Ravindra Nadkarni, State Nodal Officer, Directorate of Health
also participated in panel discussion on role of the government and
challenges in the implementation of tobacco control laws.

The media sensitization workshop on tobacco control initiatives was
organized by Voluntary Health Association of Goa (VHAG) in
association with National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication
(NOTE) and Goa Civic and Consumer Action Network
(GOACAN).

[Goanet] Talking Photos: Who owns this Chapel behind Hotel Mandovi?

2010-10-31 Thread augusto pinto

Dear joegoauk who is a fat smart dark-skinned boy wrote,

"Who owns this Chapel behind  Hotel Mondovi?
When asked if this Chapel opens once a month or a year
I am told  (by a  nearby security guy) that Church
 procession, probably on Good Friday or Passion Sunday
make a brief halt here and that’s when the chapel remains open.
All other times it is a rubbish dumping place, car parking zone.
Water tanker/ pipe also seen. Electricity transformer? also seen
Installed very close to the chapel wall.

The  external roof/ceiling in a dilapidated condition
and could come down anytime from now.
Front metal gate remains locked so do the main chapel door,
Can’t even make out who the chapel is dedicated to
Whether Sant Khuris, Sant Sebastiao or Sant Anton

Don’t know who owns it, where CCP or the Panjim Church
or Hotel Mandovi. It is attached to the Hotel though!

Check these pics

Note: All above pics taken on 24/10/10

Surely, the Chapel is older than the Hotel"

You are smart joegoauk because the land which that blessed chapel
occupies will fetch a crore more or less today.

Good that you have documented this. But on the other hand curse you:
some land shark has made a note of this and a few years down the line
we will read how some scamulous construction has replaced it.

[Goanet] another low for aroon purie (VM, in Tambdimati.com)

2010-10-31 Thread Goanet Reader

another low for aroon purie
By VM on October 30th, 2010

Just weeks ago, India Today editor Aroon Purie was forced to admit [1]
that most of an Editor’s Note was plagiarized[2]. It was another
shabby footnote in the steep decline of one of India’s premier media
franchises.

But will he apologize for the new low plumbed by his latest Editor’s
Note[3] – on Goa – if anything an even more egregious example of
irresponsible journalism?

The plagiarism episode was followed by more allegations of the
same[4].But this new episode conclusively demonstrates that facts
don’t matter at all to this particular media baron.

All that counts is pure sensationalism, underwritten by a persistent
underpinning of xenophobia. Once credible, India Today is now a
bottom-feeder, and Purie a tabloid hack (at best).

Goa receives 27 lakh domestic tourists and nearly four lakh
foreigners every year, many of whom just stay on.

Here’s the first “fact” thrown out by Purie, and he’s already in a
hole he’s going to have difficulty crawling out of. These numbers
appear to be pulled out of thin air.

3.1 million tourists per year in Goa?

That’s around twice the population of the state, and vastly inflated
over any official statistic available[5]. Who is Purie going to blame
for this one? What’s the source? Of course there isn’t any! It’s been
made up, plain and simple.

It has now, unfortunately, become the crime capital of India,
where a confluence of sex, drugs and mafia has made an underworld
industry that is growing faster than tourism.

Crime capital of India? We know from the previous disgrace that Purie
almost never writes[6] his own Editor’s Note which is written under
his byline. But does he even read it?

Can anyone from Delhi – where only one recent scam (CWG) is alleged to
have skimmed off 8000 crores[7] – say this out loud without falling
over laughing?

Is Purie even aware of the extreme ridiculousness of someone from
Delhi – where 96% of women say they feel at risk every day [8]–
calling Goa “unsafe”? It’s beyond shameless!

And Goa’s “underworld industry” is growing faster than tourism? In
whose fevered imagination? Is there some data for this? Are there any
facts that can be mustered to back up this incredible assertion?

Of course there aren’t! It’s been made up, just like the rest of this
shabby excuse for editorial journalism.

Ever since this incredibly skewed and irresponsible Editor’s Note came
out around 24 hours ago, I have been asking the people around me in
Goa whether they recognize much in it. Of course everyone is aware
that lawlessness and gangsterism has become a fact of life on part of
the coast, and that there is an ugly politician-criminal nexus – a
widespread Indian disease – that is taking hold on state soil.

More than two years ago, I myself wrote in a Time Out Mumbai cover
story[9] that “only a huge crackdown can eliminate the drug business
that pervades large pockets of the coastline.”

But there is more to this Purie editorial – and the entire scurrilous,
deeply dodgy Goa cover story. There is also a persistent strain of
xenophobia, underpinned by aggrieved Delhi-style feudal entitlement –
as in, “why am I not being treated deferentially in Goa, in the feudal
manner that I am accustomed to. How dare these foreigners feel so at
home here!”

It is a common, utterly colonialist mentality, and that lack of
deference is ultimately the biggest affront to Purie and his ilk.

Look at the cover picture itself – an unremarkable young caucasian
woman in an unremarkable two-piece swimsuit. No Goan would even turn
his head – the sight implies nothing more to us than a young woman
going swimming.

http://www.tambdimati.com/another-low-for-india-today-magazine/picture-1/

But as we all know, many repressed tourists from the hinterland don’t
see anything quite as simple as that. And India Today doesn’t either –
it feels quite comfortable plastering the word SEX across this
innocuous image, and implying prostitution as well.

This is the ugly stereotype of Indian narrow-mindedness, and here
India Today emblazons it right across its front cover.

We have been wondering here at tambdimati.com [10], how will this girl
feel when she sees the cover . Did she “ask for it” by wearing a
swimsuit to the beach? Like Delhi girls “ask for it” by merely
boarding a bus?

How would Purie feel if it was his daughter pictured in a bikini[11],
with that lurid headline splayed across her legs?

Re: [Goanet] Goan boy

Dear Marion,

I am acutely sorry if the words 'pleasure and promotion' hurt the feeling of 
our Goans.
When I said that, I meant those Goans who have sold off every inch of their 
property they inherited from their peers in Goa and vamoosed from the land of 
birth, not to have any connection with Goa any more and/or come as strangers to 
their own land and stay in hotel resort, enjoy and go back. And those 
properties have landed in the hands of rank  outsiders to do what they want 
with them. One such property is in Baga Calangute area now with a hotel resort 
on it, mostly illegally expanded with impunity through bribes and inducements 
to the extent that the beach area of the property has been converted into a 
lush green garden by leveling off sand dunes and dumping over 200 trucks of red 
mud to sustain the garden which cannot grow on the sandy/salty beach with 
indigenous beach vegetation. 

And we Goans in Goa now have to file Public Interest Litigations in the 
Honourable High Court to challenge the desecration  of the natural beach 
habitat. Naturally, the new owner is a North Indian who has never seen a beach 
in his life much less live on it,   knows nothing about the ecological disaster 
he is creating by wiping off the sand dunes.

I am sour on this point and nothing else.

'Excuse moi'  if I have hurt your/other's feelings.

Floriano,

Whilst you communicate elegantly and intelligently, there is no need to 
write off such intelligence with a few wrong words.  You are right in your 
communication but for the bit on Goans fleeting abroad for pleasure and 
promotion.

NOT ALTOGETHER RIGHT !

Historically, I believe, people boarded a fleet of ships unknowingly to 
go to work and were separated from their families.  Whilst there have been some 
who had no chance of getting out of a rut caused by an alcoholic parent and 
when the opportunity arose they grabbed. Yes there are others who left to 
better their lives and that is how they can now invest in Goa. 

Remember that God took the Jewish Community from their original 
destination to another called the promised land !

  Dear Jason Keith,

  Let me tell you this sincerely.
  You are like a son to me. Your dad and I have been class mates during 
our academic years.
  I still address him by his pet name 'Amor'. And I know that he is as 
good a fighter as I am.

  Having said that, I have always believed that one is never too old to 
learn, even from one's children.

  That understanding dilutes your "apun odlo' complex that you believe 
is a negative streak in Goans (at least in my case).

  Coming back to the case of the Australian Boy , when a father feels 
that there is no future in remaining in Australia anymore (due to this mugging 
incident), it becomes a defeat of dreams one nursed for the future of his 
children having giving up everything one had in one's own land for a future for 
one's off-springs.

  That is why I had used the word 'concerned'

  I remember my mother's attitude when I was a kid. If I had to come 
home beaten and crying from play, there was the likeliest chance that I would 
get beaten more for having gone to play at all. Therefore, the complaining 
streak was nipped in the bud and this singular attitude of my dear mom who is 
now 88 years and bedridden makes me take care of her every need on day to day, 
hour to hour-  basis. Because it is the payment for building  a tough son that 
I am.

  In the same manner,  this father of the Goan boy in Australia is 
expected to have a similar attitude. But when he sees that his son may lose his 
eye, it makes all the difference. Again the word 'concern' I mentioned.

  It must be a tough choise for a father to decide to return home and 
forfeit his life-time dreams. It shatters a person from within as against from 
without.

  Coming to the dialogue mode, we Goans have been dialoguing, 
discussing and deliberating for years together since 1961. All that is 
happening is that outsiders (read Delhi'ites, Maharastrians and the RSS fellas) 
are taking the upper hand with us Goans and r

[Goanet] Poll panel orders seizure of Bicholim c ivic body’s car

2010-10-31 Thread samir umarye

Samir Umarye

PANAJI OCT 30: The state election commission has ordered attachment of the
Ford Figo car belonging to the Bicholim municipal council on Saturday after
its chief officer “refused” to release it for use of election duty and in
lieu of it sent another vehicle used for garbage collection to be used by
poll officials.

The assistant returning officer for the BMC  elections had sent a
requisition note to the chief officer of the BMC urging him to release the
vehicle for use of poll officials for two days – Saturday and Sunday.
The BMC chief officer by a letter addressed to the assistant letter refused
to release the vehicle with an endorsement that it could not be done and
informed that another vehicle bearing registration number GA01-T1640 would
be sent instead.
On Saturday morning the driver of BMC, Mr Sunil Parab reported to the
assistant returning officer with vehicle bearing registration number
GA01-T1640 and it was found by poll official that the vehicle was the one
used for garbage collection by the council.
The assistant returning officer then reported the matter to the SEC and
sought further direction following which the secretary to the commission
directed that the Figo car be attached and kept in the custody of the
polling officials for four-five days.(NT)

[Goanet] Of Winning Otters nimbling Fish and Mapusa Municipal Elections.

This particular Sunday special of mine has been prompted  by Aurelio Viegas' 
' NEVER BE LATE'

From: "aurelio viegas" 
To: "goa internet" 
Sent: Saturday, October 30, 2010 3:27 PM
Subject: [Goanet] Never Be Late

There are two particular instances that I had the occasion to visit in the 
very recent past combined with the above master piece from Aurelio Viegas 
which makes my fingers fly on the keyboard.

One was the National Geographic TV Channel's televised item on the 
ingeniousness of the UP's ( read Uttar Pradesh - India) fishermen putting 
sea otters to work to increase their fish-yield. These little one's are 
tamed and trained to work under-water into driving the fish into the waiting 
nets from the boats. But the little otters ( with all their stiff whiskers 
and hair spilling out of their ears) are roped with a collar noose and let 
go to complete the job. The similarity of these little otters to the ' 
WINING OTTER ' that I know of, is the reason for this national geographic 
special.

With regard to the Mapusa Municipal Elections, where the voters of Mapusa 
must be forming large lines to vote at this very moment when I am busy 
hitting the keyboard, has a role to play in this story. I as the member of 
the Mapusa Nagrikancho Ekvott  [MNE]  have been in charge of facilitating 
its  5 candidates  with matters relating to the Electioneering because of my 
vast experience with elections. And among all 5 candidates, MNE has a STAR 
candidate in Jeanette Gomes, a 63 year old die-hard who has vowed to defeat 
the WINNING OTTER who is her only long standing opponent ( or rather this 
otter's wife when the eligibility is changed from men to women) of Ward No. 
4. It is the decision of MNE to field this star candidate in Ward NO. 4 that 
all other opposition has melted-down to see that the 'WINNING OTTER'  gets 
no fish for breakfast lunch and dinner even if he is ready to shell out Rs. 
3000/- per fish ( which I believe is the market rate as of last night). And 
we must realize that the fisherfolks in Goa are on fishing strike, thanks to 
Matanhy Saldanha.

The second thing that happened is that our star candidate's brother-in-law 
passed away and the funeral service was held yesterday (Saturday) evening at 
the Mapusa Church. I had to be there, not to shed tears, but to see if the 
WINNING OTTERS were attending or not, the death being that of the 
long-standing voter of the OTTERS who unfortunately would have voted 
otherwise this Sunday if he didn't say 'good-bye'. And as I entered the 
Church, rather late, Fr. Braz Faleiro was dishing out his wonderful sermon. 
The good father was talking about how politicians are paying money for votes 
et al and asking the pertinent question if these were Christians at all etc. 
However, what Fr. Faleiro did not realize is that our long standing 
politicians or WINNING OTTERS will starve if they do not pay for the fish 
which they are not able to catch.

Later, whilst walking in the procession towards the cemetery, I inched 
myself close to my very old acquaintance, Fr. Faleiro,  in the guise of 
helping his difficult walk with a cane  and whispered my congratulations to 
him on his excellent and most relevant sermon. He smiled, thanked me and 
said " But I do hope that what I have said will penetrate the right ears". 
And I instantly knew which right ears he was talking about --- that of the 
'Otters' and that of the trainer of the 'Otters' who was also present  and 
who is the person who handles the nooses of the ropes in these otter's 
necks -- the incomparable MLA  of the BJP kind of Mapusa.

"Fr.",   I said,  " with due respect to you, how can anything at all 
penetrate the ears especially when the  ears of the OTTERS  are blocked 
completely by a jungle of hair grown from the ears?". The good father had 
tough time controlling his burst of laughter and I had to do a double time 
to prevent him from tripping. The good Fr. must be laughing still, if I know 
him well.

And during the burial, I was purposely standing in close proximity of the 
'OTTERS'  so that I could smell the defeat. It was indeed over-powering.

And when my turn came to condole our star candidate, being a relict of the 
deceased,  I said to her " Jeanette dear-  brighten up ---will ya? -- I can 
already smell your victory".

Victory or not - since MNE does not put stress on VICTORIES but SINCERE HARD 
WORK instead, our consolation is that we did make the ' OTTERS' come to 
reality of the hard fasting days with no fish around unless prepared to pay 
exorbitant prices.

My Response: 

Gabe, before bringing back Portuguese, please clarify as to who will forgive
or rather who is in-charge of forgiving? Is it you? Next, if Portuguese is
brought back, you might be appointed as "Governor General of Goa" (you being
a patriot of Portuguese), than how will our dirty politicians and freedom
fighters of Goa survive? And lastly, if Portuguese is brought back, in all
certainty, "All is well" theory will be defeated. 

So, can you suggest an alternative!!

[Goanet] The accidental activist: The mighty Goan warrior

Venita Coelho wrote: I want to introduce you to the mighty Goan warrior. The
world knows the susegaad Goan, Hindi films have made the perpetually drunk
Goan famous, and the hospitable Goan is touted by the tourist industry. But
the Goan warrior? Claude Alvares paid tribute to him at the recently held
GBA rally at Azad Maidan.  He doesn?t look like much. In fact he looks like
an ordinary man, but his powers are legendary. He has taken on the might of
government, big business and various lobbies and emerged victorious. Even as
the state of Goa disheartens us, perhaps it is time to remember that there
is hope. 

My response: 

In nut shall, Venita is totally wrong is bestowing 'mighty'; 'warrior' and
'legendary' titles to that Goan. That Goan has proved to be a puppet dancing
to the tunes of Digu for past 4 plus years! Only thing is that he is kept
alive by IV 'Hope' drips prescribed by Dr. Digu 

But the founders of that Goan have already achieved their hidden agendas and
are ripping the fruits these days - a perfect 'make hay while sun shines'
attitudes.

Not sure whether the language could have been better. I leave that to the

She is not the FIRST WOMAN in the WHOLE of INDIA. BUT is on WESTERN RAILWAY.
Thank you Gabe for for remembering and pointing out India's first woman
driver (engineer -- a term not employed in India). This was about Mumbai,
hence made the connection to Goa/Goans, as also included Bernardo -- my Dad,
a Goan man whose runs was merely from Mumbai's Docks to Wadala and a bit
afar -- a shunting driver (different focus, different pace): "Thought a
Goans(sic) would be the first one to made the grade -- on the Mumbai and

Re: [Goanet] (no subject)


Dear Carmen,

I must revisit our dear little meet at TATO's in Panjim to remind you of 
what I had said as regards SAVING GOA.


The flood-gates of GOAN goodness, kindness, golden hearts with  donating 
streaks  can open only if all the four corners of the square one wants to 
contain that load must be secure, bonafide ( at least in the minds of the 
donors) so that they do not feel betrayed  once the flood-gates are opened 
and every thing they wanted Goa to have has been emptied out. GOANS have 
been taken for jolly good rides before, and they will be taken for more if 
they are not careful. And they do know that.


The prophets of DOOM do keep on cropping up, but fail to apply themselves to 
the single most agenda  to start sweeping the mess at the right place. 
Opening too many fronts (like the Germans did in the 2nd. World War will 
only meet with doom in the end and achieve nothing.



Perhaps these good hearted donors are careful in the case of your 'appeals' 
as not all the chords may have been struck to generate a mellow and pleasing 
sound.

Thank you Bernice for your support !
Unfortunately it seems that our goans  need constant reminders and
encouragement to donate to this cause, and I am running out of hope...the
struggle in Goa continues and is getting tough ! Government of Goa is
totally in the pockets of the miners, several ministers are miners
themselves and we have a huge battle to fight to save what ever is left
of Goa!

I support your idea Carmen and I'm sure a lot of Goans all over the world
will do likewise.

[Goanet] Song of the day yawn

2010-10-31 Thread Pandu Lampiao

E.sorry to say you folks choice of songs of the day
(non-Concani) makes me want to*never mind*.

No wonder, any Goichi social gatherings would be
unbearable..without booze no?...and then they want to dance to the
same same song. Did I stamp on your toes

For a people to whom music, food and crookery (India's most corrupt
state, no arguments) comes naturally, one would have thought we would
throw up a better song than *yawn* un-peppy "Proud to be a Goan"!
*before some old retiree put one his dentures and fires back, do take
a minute to___*
Aye, and Irmao Fred may throws his 'formula' open-ended philosophical
questions: what have you done musically. I thought I would rub you
folks the wrong way with a little compilationsounds that are pure
(in some cases), soulful and make you want to..easy yo..you don't
want your blood pressure pumpin'.

Re: [Goanet] MICKY - JOSE BRAWL


Goa Su-Raj is in the 'recruiting' mode.
Any references shall be appreciated ( of powerful goondas of course)

Bring back the Portuguese???
Heck no !
But we would want to see the 'Portuguese Rule' back in Goa minus the 
Portuguese   themselves, YES !, anytime. But we don't want the Portuguese in 
Goa because, if they come, they will be  like 'dogs' with their tails 
between their legs. They are already here with no tails showing and trying 
to help the CCP of Panjim. Well, in that case, they should dig up Salazar 
and hang him de novo for letting India drive him away like a dog in the 
first place and leaving Goa to be colonized by chors looters and 
free-booters, especially the Indian Useless Navy.

[Goanet] MICKY - JOSE BRAWL


On Sun, 31 Oct 2010, FN wrote quoting one line from my posting: 

By no means the only option nor even the most successful one! You could rake
up meaningless communal issues. You could join the corruption bandwaggon. Or
the lobby of the brotherhood of khaki shorts swearing to fight dynastic
politics while creating another set of dubious heroes.

It's also possible to dance the waltz with the "corrupt" and the "criminals"
(whom we recognise as such only when not in alliance with 'em. Or to play on
people's feelings of alienation, legitimate protests against malgovernance,
and attempt to turn these into a ride-back-to-power chariot. Would you
agree? FN

My line that is picked up by FN: [is "If you want to be in politics join any
notorious gangster group or become a gangster"] 

My Response: 

My answered to FN's question: Your response smells as though coming from
Kongress clout! Better luck next time!!

Well Sr. Colaco, I hope that this post clears the air (at least
partly)  about who you are. and I am sure with the kind of offer you
have  made to FN, you might even
find even me darkening your Macau door one fine morning - typhoons and

You have not mentioned the Casino's and the exotic femmes fatales of
Macau - perhaps we'll find these in a future post?

[Goanet] Who the bleep cares about Luis de Assis Correia?

2010-10-31 Thread Eddie Fernandes

Headline: Who the bleep cares about Luis de Assis Correia?
By: Selma Carvalho
Source: Goan Voice UK Daily Newsletter 31 Oct. 2010 at www.goanvoice.org.uk
where you will find a photograph of Assis Correia

Full text:

Last year, seized by a not-so-youthful naiveté, I wanted to record the lives
of Great Goans. Having read a bit too much of John Updike and his relentless
essays on American and British artists, writers and poets who have been so
meticulously biographed and feeling a certain expansive, emptiness in this
same region as far as our own intelligentsia went, I was at once filled with
the hubris of the naïve and the ambition of the idiotic which lulled me into
thinking that herculean tasks are indeed possible equipped with just a
tape-recorder and a pen.
 
Id read Luis de Assis Correias, Goa through the Mists of History  - he has
since followed it up with the release of Portuguese India - and been
impressed enough to persuade Correia into agreeing to an interview. Watch
out for an elderly man standing near the fruit vendors, he told me. Getting
off the tube at Harrow, I neednt have worried. Its not easy to miss an
elegant, tall Goan man at a London tube station. 
 
Correia was born in 1928 in the village of Velim, Goa, the same year Dr
Antonio de Oliveira Salazar was to become Finance Minister and begin his
ascent to power in what would become Portugals Estado Novo. It is difficult
to say what forces of history shape personal lives. Are single incidents
like the rise of Salazar mere blips on the continuum of time or do they
affect us personally? Did the 16 years of Republicanism that preceded
Salazar create the greatest flourishing of Goan intelligentsia responsible
for ideas of equality that permeated the Goan consciousness? Or perhaps
equality among men is an aspiration that is endemic in the human
consciousness and doesnt need revolutions or religions to stir it to life.
Correias grandfather and namesake, a man he describes as an exceptionally
brilliant person, championed caste and racial equality at a time when it
was unfashionable to do the former and decidedly dangerous to address the
latter.
 
Like so many young Goan men, his grandfather had been ear-marked for that
solemn vocation, which one embarks on with much zeal and absolute faith in
the unseen, the priesthood. But he got into a polemic with the Archbishop of
Goa and the Director of his seminary on the finer points of discriminatory
practices in the priesthood. This rather premature bid for equality in the
naves of Goas Church resulted in his departure from the Church and the
stigmatization of his family.
 
But reading Correias accounts of Goas history, it is hard to decipher what
his own feelings are on the Republic or Salazar or the Church for he feels a
Historians voice must not permeate his writing. His responsibility is only
to report the facts, a sort of medieval journalist traveling forward in
time. In the 21st century, when personal comment is so difficult to avoid,
when controversy and sensationalism of revisionism is what sells history
books, Correia has been quite resolute in avoiding both. 
 
Correias interest in history goes back to his childhood, which he remembers
as being surrounded by books. He had a private mestre who tutored him at
home in Latin. His mother taught him Portuguese and he later attended a
Portuguese Secondary school. The images of World War II blur in during our
conversation; the sugar shortages, the gasoline rationing and perhaps most
disturbingly the death of his father, Chrisol de Assis Correia, when the
passenger ship he was on board the S S Calabria, waiting to join his own
ship the S. S Vasna of the Royal Navy Hospital, was torpedoed and sunk by a
German submarine in 1940, off the coast of Ireland. Correia also remembers
with clarity the harrowing air-raids by the Japanese while he was schooling
at St. Marys in Broadway, Madras, (what was then called Madras and is today
called Chennai).
 
After a stint with Air India in Bombay, he arrived in Nairobi, Kenya in
1956, just five years before Kenya was to get its Independence from Britain.
It was a most exciting time to be in Nairobi, its streets abuzz with the
whiff of possible freedom and, Correia eventually came to rub shoulders with
the likes of Pio Gama-Pinto and Murumbi, who he says was a very nice man.
Correia also struck a close friendship with Tom Mboya, founder of the
Nairobis People Congress Party and an active member of the political
establishment around and shortly following Kenyas independence. Correia was
heading a travel agency in Nairobi and they were both instrumental players
in the Airlift Africa project, working with the African-American Students
Foundation in the United States, to provide air-passage to Kenyan students
who had won scholarships in American universities. The conversation, amidst
a din of recorded music in the café we were sitting at, turns suddenly to
Barack Obama Sr, who was one of the students in
