*Peter D’Costa’s death condoled*



Tiatr Academy of Goa (TAG) organised a condolence meeting on 9th November
2010 at Conference Hall of Ravindra Bhavan, Margao to condole the untimely
death of the Konkani tiatr artiste Peter D’Costa. Speaking on the occasion
the Vice President of TAG Shri.Roseferns stated that late Peter D’Costa was
a member of his dramatic troupe for a long period of almost 9 years. During
this time he acted in over dozens of tiatrs written and directed by
Roseferns and won the hearts of the tiatr audience by acting character roles
of different personalities in social, political and religious fields.



Shri.Premanand Lotlikar, President of Dalgado Konkani Akademi stated that
Peter D’Costa was a very good lyricist and must have composed hundreds of
songs for different writers. Premanand Lotlikar disclosed that many writers
did not disclose his name as the original composer of the songs, on the
contrary got all the credit of his songs for themselves.



Numerous personalities from the tiatr field namely Jessie Dias, Sabina,
Wilmix, Anil Kumar etc. also expressed their views on the contribution of
late Peter D’Costa to Konkani Tiatr particularly the Khell Tiatr.



Mr.Tomazinho Cardozo in his presidential address appealed the tiatr
fraternity to constitute a special fund for helping the needy tiatr artistes
and their families when they are in distress. Joaquim D’Costa brother of
Peter D’Costa thanked the TAG and all the tiatr artistes present for showing
love and concern towards the family of Peter D’Costa. Smt. Magdalena D’Costa
wife of late Peter D’Costa also attended the condolence meeting.

[Goanet] CM And His Rendezvous With Criminals Of Monti Dongor ?

2010-11-10 Thread Freddy Fernandes
CM The Don Of Migrant Criminals 

 

Crime and Monti Dongor are synonymous, it's been more than two years since a
cache of swords was found at the Monti Dongor and thereafter, it's been nearly
one year since the FIR was filed against the suspects but since then there has
been no news of the case at all, a clip of the CM having drinks with the
suspects has been making rounds in the cyber world and hence one begins to
wonder, if this case will ever see a conviction as these antisocial elements
have a godfather in Goan politics, namely the CM of Goa. 

 

In the past there have been numerous instances of crime and violence emitting
from the two most sensitive hot spots in Margao, namely the Monti Dongor and the
Kharebandh area, which are the strongholds of migrants who are die hard
supporters of our CM the Ali Baba. These antisocial elements are the men of the
hour for our beloved CM. During the terrible floods in Canacona last year, the
CM was seen distributing sarees to migrants at Kharebandh, showing his distorted
priorities, that's why he later went on to say with irrational exuberance, that
he did not need our votes, this just shows how important the migrants are to the
CM. He is an invincible Master of vote bank politics. 

 

A few days earlier there have been a number of flare-ups between the rival
supporters and a strong security presence was noticed in these sensitive areas.
These bastions of lumpen goons have been incubated and nourished at the behest
of our CM, these poor souls are taken for a ride by the manipulative genius,
used as and when needed and then discarded as per convenience. This amalgamation
of politics and crime has been corroding the innards of the very fabric of our
society. 

 

The CM will go to any length to describe his inimitable skills as an
administrator and also flaunts his democratic ideologies only to subvert them
without a schism in his soul, this only exposes the inherent hypocrisy in our
CM. As much as he says he is for the Aam Aadmi, his only interest is the
wellbeing of his migrant vote bank, to him Goans are trash. It's the apathy of
the Goan voter that's responsible for the arrogance of the CM. When will Goa
wise up ?

[Goanet] India Shining?

2010-11-10 Thread Vasant Baliga
Lack of morality 
Pervasive corruption 
By S N Chary 

The Indian society has been reduced to a mass of people who are out to grab 
anything and everything and find short-cuts to doing so. 

 
The year 2010 has been hit by major scams: Commonwealth Games and 2G Spectrum 
involving huge sums of money — more than a lakh crore of rupees. Now there is 
the Adarsh Housing Society being shamefully special in its own way: A housing 
society that was meant for the widows of Kargil war martyrs, has been usurped 
by 
high level politicians — chief ministers, ministers, top level defence officers 
including Generals and Admirals, and senior bureaucrats; none of the flats has 
gone to any Kargil widow. There is an apt phrase for such a despicable act: 
Baking rotis on the ‘chita’ (burning corpse).

Is this all the ‘quality’ of leadership that our society could produce in 
public 
life, civil service and even in defence? Indians already have a negative 
opinion 
of the ethical standards of their politicians; but what about the military 
officers who get selected only after gruelling tests and rigorous training and 
who are supposed to guard our country’s honour and integrity?

Also, the IAS and other central services are supposed have their own code of 
ethics. The guardians of our country seem to have turned into mean preying 
wolves. One wonders about the moral state of our society, because, after all, 
it 
is the society that throws up its leaders.

A cursory examination of the common man and his behaviour should throw light at 
the state of ethics in our everyday life. Indian society has been reduced to a 
mass of people out to grab anything and everything and find short-cuts to doing 
so. Let us look at the behaviour of our vehicle-owning class on the roads. We 
rarely ever follow lane discipline. If a small space is available, we try to 
outsmart the other guy by pushing the nose of our vehicle in. In this process 
of 
mutual prevention, no one goes faster; everyone gets delayed because of the 
jams. Some people fix blow-horns that can make the other commuters go deaf or 
use blinding headlights to get ahead.

In housing societies, a simple ethical sense should tell the residents not to 
make their dogs and other pets bog in the common areas such as the walking 
space; but, we invariably find owners of the pets violating this ethic. If 
there 
is a semi-open car park — say under the stilts — and the owner is absent for a 
few days, others park their vehicles in it with impunity. Owners of bungalows 
in 
cities like Bangalore build car parking spaces outside their compound thereby 
occupying the public road-space.

Large corporate houses, including famous IT companies, seem to provide 
insufficient parking space for their employees’ vehicles and turn a blind eye 
when the employees regularly park their vehicles on the roads adjacent to their 
offices. In effect, the companies have grabbed the public road space.

Law breakers

Let’s look at our queues at the counters; wherever possible, people break the 
line or even cleverly confuse everybody by forming multiple lines ultimately 
resulting in a huge melee. Being ‘clever’ is a greatly appreciated quality in 
our society. In fact, we many a time confuse cleverness with intelligence.

One of our superhit movies shows the heroes — students of a premier engineering 
college — resorting to tricks during the examination; the biggest hero in the 
movie even mixes up the answer-sheets so that the invigilating professor cannot 
catch him and his friends writing answers even after the exam bell goes off. 
Such cleverness is lapped up by our cine-going public. In another superhit 
movie, the heroine — studying medicine (God save us) — copies in her exam with 
the help of laser technology! Movies, many say, are a reflection of the society.

What is ‘corruption’? Grabbing land, flats, space, profits, incomes, admissions 
to schools/colleges, marks, honour (eg: state/national awards), even wages that 
do not rightfully belong to us. Corruption has at its core the thought and act 
of ‘selfishness’ at the cost of the others. A society/community has certain 
rules, laws, contracts and norms so that the larger good of the members of the 
society/community is served.

When selfish intent makes one violate these rules, laws and/or norms, it is 
termed corruption. When one does not do one’s wage-earning work honestly, one 
is 
violating the community’s contract. When an item is made or built below the 
stipulated quality, one is violating the norm. With lower quality, one may, at 
times, be endangering the health and lives of the users of that product or 
service. When one litters, spits or urinates publicly, one is violating the 
space that belongs to others. A corrupt person, when occupying top positions, 
gets opportunities to perform bigger corrupt acts or condones such acts.

So, if Indians are more selfish creatures and therefore more corrupt than many 
others in the world, why

[Goanet] Poaching And Deforestation Still Rampant In Goa

2010-11-10 Thread Freddy Fernandes
Poaching And Deforestation Still Rampant In Goa

It is indeed very disheartening to know that even after all the improved
facilities for the forest officials, poaching still continues. I did not know if
I should cry or laugh at the article Poaching in wildlife sanctuaries has
reduced substantially in one of the leading dailies.  

We are in the 21st century, science and technology have manifested it's in leaps
and bounds, surveillance technology is at it's best and our forest officials are
only too happy with the marginal fall in poaching ?  Is this the best our forest
officials can do ? We do not have a vast forest area like Karnataka or other
states up north or the east and yet we find poaching and deforestation on a very
large scale in and around, what's left of our once rich forests, which were full
of bio-diversity. Tolerance of wrong is not tolerance; it is complicity. It has
been rightly said that for evil to succeed all that is required is for the good
to do nothing.

 

Goa today resembles a once-beautiful queen, stripped off her looks and jewels,
but still alluring to old admirers, who are only clinging to faded memories of
her gracious past. The element of nostalgia still lingers while the illusion
lasts.

The Ali Baba government has been giving us assurances after assurances that
illegal mining would be stopped and the culprits brought to justice, especially
those involved in and around the wildlife sanctuaries but so far no action has
been taken and the piquant irony is that the main pillars and the top luminaries
of the Ali Baba government have themselves been laying siege to Goa's ecology
and environment in the name of development and those not involved, are
supporting the degradation of our wildlife habitats for the share of the spoils.

I do not have a clue as to why, we Goans are not at all interested in preserving
what's left of our ecology and our environment. The world over people and
governments are going all out to preserve and protect what's left of their
bio-diversity and the wild life, because they now know, that our very own
survival depends on how we relate to mother nature's gracious gift to mankind. 

Let's not be blinded by the hype of commerce and economics and devastate nature
in the name of development because our greed and gluttony will one day be the
cause our very own annihilation. 

 

Mahatma Gandhi once said You may never know what results come of your action,
but if you do nothing, there will be no result. So let's act now.

[Goanet] Talking Photos: Krishi Mahotsav 2010 (Report with pics)

2010-11-10 Thread JoeGoaUk

 
Krishi Mahotsav or Krishi Mela 2010
Organised by Directorate of Agriculture.
It’s  an annual event  to help the local farmers
(remote hilly areas etc mainly from the south) 
to exhibit their produce and sale.

We read about it that this year it’s going to take place
 on 9th Nov till 11th at Margao.  What we didn’t know
was where exactly in Margao it’s taking place?
So, we got down at Margao KTC bus Stand and took 
another city bus to Margao city.  Straight went
to Lohia Maidan near Marliz/ La Marina.
Then we went to enquire at ZAO office situated
at communidade building there.
We were told it’s at SGPDA ground or near Osia Cinema.

So, we are back to KTC bus stand.
The event is really beautiful with mini hut like stalls.
displaying  their farm produce including fruits,
bottled products, bamboo products, dry fruits, seeds etc.
 


Looks very authentic and beautiful but how could we 
get access to the stalls?
Thanks to the morning November rains which 
played spoilsport.
 
The ground was soaky ‘chek-chek’ all over with red mud.
One could not get closer to the stalls without dipping 
his footwear about  1-2 inch deep red mud.  Those 
wearing track shoes etc, it was virtually inaccessible for 
them unless he didn’t mind going home with 
painted shoes.  Leave alone the exhibition areas, even 
the existing  ‘katcha’ road, linked to main road NH17 
was inaccessible.
 
Two of my group stayed out  so did many (I also saw 
two  teenage sons in a family of 5 who refused to enter..)
I made it so that I can take pics.
When come out, we washed out feet and foot wear
 at the nearby flowing stream which is in front of the venue.
When we were at it, many car/bus drivers
from NH17 hooted at us (we reacted saying FO)
(we also had one lady friend in our group)
 
 
 
The dept could have temporarily covered the ground area 
with ‘Madda Chutt’ttam jitim or suklolin’ 
(coconut palm leaves dry or green laying double or treble) 
 
Hopefully, the situation will improve today, atleast by noon
 as there was no sign of rain till 12.30pm (may have 
rained from 5-10am).
 
Please do visit mela or the show, if in Goa, as I am sure you will 
see some (open till 11th Nov.2010) of the items you 
never seen  or  never heard of before.
 
I bought my favourite ‘Ponnsa Satam’ Rs.20 each paket 
but she had no papers to wrap nor any bags. Two of the four 
I ate in the bus which took about an hour to reach home 
(local bus not shuttle, as shuttle don't stop at our palce)
 
OK let’s see the pics which I have hand-picked, 
out of so many.
I have covered almost entirely despite of the reported 
unfavourable situation.. 
The dept. even abandoned or cancel it's morning 
inaugural ceremony due to the ground situation. 
Huge stage set up also seen.
 
A video clip may also come soon

Look who’s welcoming you?

All,

Two questions:
1. Has there been a study/article on Goan senior citizens going back to Goa in 
the last 10 years or so to settle there to spend their remaining years in Goa? 
These Goan seniors could be returning to Goa from places like USA, UK, Canada, 
Australia, Mumbai, Africa, Portugal.
2. Has there been a study/article on Goan senior retirement facilities 
currently available in Goa? i.e. places where seniors stay in a community and 
have their needs taken care of? 

Please email me if you have any information.

Thank you.

George

[Goanet] Villagers of Cansaulim press for notification of eco-sensitive zones and restriction of cosntruction to 50 Floor Area Report (FAR)

2010-11-10 Thread roger dsouza
Just as in the other villages of Benaulim, Tivim, Chicalim, Cansaulim it was
the turn of the Villagers of Cansaulim who in their meeting on Tuesday
November 9th pressed the Government of Goa to go ahead with the notification
of eco-sensitive zones and restriction of constructions till finalisation of
the Regional Plan 2021.
Recently the villages of Cansaulim and Velsao were flooded by the freak
rain-showers in late October thanks to the damage that is wrecked on the
land by all the construction, filling up of fields and ponds to construct
the Sports Complex in Cansaulim, blocking of traditional drainages and paths
by unscruplous builders, with the backing of the local MLA. Does the
Government of Goa and our politicians care about common villagers when it’s
all about raking the moolah and patronising their builder buddies like the
Queeny’s, DLF, Rahejas and the rest when it comes to protecting
eco-sensitive zones and ratifying RP 2021 per the wishes of the people? The
Government has a vested interest in pushing it’s hidden agenda although this
is apparent to all. The next round of village meetings are scheduled for:

November 11, near Ideal High School, Piligao-Bicholim
and November 13 at Moira Club grounds

 November 14 at Tiracol-Pernem.
Villagers will share the trials and difficulties that they are faced to deal
with because of illegal mining destroying vast tracts of forest land with
both flora and fauna and endangered species lost forever and sale of almost
an entire village that houses a historical site.  So what if all the soil
and  the natural resources are shipped on a slow boat to China, the Railways
and the MPT will make sure that they speeden up the process by acquiring
more land and coastal areas in Salcette. The Goa Government in turn is now
trying to bring the entire population of the country with the largest
poulation in the world namely China to Goa as tourists as per the latest
news reports – all the more reason to go on a massive construction without
caring a damn for Goa and Goans. In the meantime all that mineral wealth
that is being exploited can be used by our neighbour to create more weapons
to be directed against our own Nation! There is a method to the madness
behind the Government of Goa’s grandiose plans only it doesn’t include the
welfare of Goans in the scheme of affairs!   The following reports on the
meeting in Cansaulim are from today’s Herald and Navhind Times.

Cansaulim
villagers press for notification of eco zones -   Navhind Times Published
on: November 11, 2010 - 00:24

MARGAO: The Cansaulim village group organised a village-level meeting in the
panchayat hall on Tuesday as part of the GBA’s campaign to press for the
notification of eco-sensitive zones and restriction of constructions till
finalisation of the Regional Plan 2021.



At the meeting, in the wake of the chief minister’s announcement that the
Pernem and Canacona taluka plans had been approved by the TCP board,
villagers sought to know when their taluka plans would be ready and
criticised the delay.



Ms Sheila Gracias coordinated the discussions on the Regional Plan and
explained how the village level committee of Cansaulim worked to map the
village resources and passed gram sabha resolution to accord VP 3 status to
their village. She lamented that the delay in notifying the eco zones and
approving the village status had led to unnecessary tension in the village
as construction plans were approved contrary to the decisions of the gram
sabha.



Mr Max D’Souza from Pale-Velsao echoing the sentiments of Ms Sheila said
that he was also part of the village committee for the Regional Plan and had
extensively toured every ward to get the data of the village on the plan. Mr
Ashley Fernandes of Cansaulim explained the demographic changes that are
taking place under the guise of development in Cansaulim and alleged that
greed and corruption are leading to social tensions and disunity in the
villages, as the people’s plan is not implemented.



Mr Miguel Braganza of GBA argued that the GBA had worked for the RP 2021,
reaching the people, so that they could decide whether the kind of
development envisaged by the government benefits the village or not.

Mr Arvind Bhatikar said that the government should come out with clear
guidelines on the basis of which the taluka plans have been drawn up.



The people are unaware about the guidelines and the fate of village plans
they had participated in revising and incorporating, Mr Bhatikar said. Fr
Maverick and Dr Sabina Martins, convener of the GBA also spoke.

Similar village meetings have been scheduled on November 11, near Ideal High
School, Piligao-Bicholim,
and November 13 at Moira Club grounds, November 14 at Tiracol-Pernem.

[Goanet] Respect our Right to Identity

2010-11-10 Thread Freddy Fernandes
In support of:

Message: 5

Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2010 22:04:48 +0530 (IST)

From: Bernice Pereira bernicepere...@yahoo.com

To: soter so...@bsnl.in, Goanet goanet@lists.goanet.org

Subject: Re: [Goanet] Fw: RE: Goanet Digest, Vol 5,Issue 1215 - Respect our
Right to Identity

 

Hi Bernice,

 

I can understand your dilemma, these money bags think, just because they have
the money, they can buy everything and everyone. I salute you for your brave
stand, even though you are a lady, I wish we had more men and women like you.
It's sad indeed that we Goans have not yet woken up to the reality. You have
asked a very valid question, why is Goa being turned into a concrete jungle
without the required infrastructure ? All over Goa it's the same state of
affairs and activists and people are asking the same question, but get no
answers. 

 

You find Kashmiris, Rajasthanis and ofcourse the rich Gujjus all over Goa, doing
what they do best trying to buy everything and everyone with their money power
and we Goans loose our bearing and lap-up what's thrown at us. It's us Goans who
have been selling our ancestral lands, not the one's we bought with our hard
earned money but what was given to us as a legacy by our ancestors, words once
spoken cannot be retrieved, what's said is said, so is the land that is sold,
once sold it's gone.   

 

The destruction of our rich fields, ecology and our environment has been termed
as development, but when asked development for whom ? They just seem to have
amnesia. During the Carmona mega housing agitation, Orlando was pushed against
the wall, but fought and exposed, the self proclaimed man of the masses,
Churchill Alemao, who went on to say that the activists and NGO's were squealing
like pigs, when they objected to the mega project, he further went on to call it
a developmental project where Goans could work as watchmen, while he and his
entire family became billionaires at the cost of Goa and Goans.

 

The days when we could take a long relaxing walks on beaches without being
hassled or without our path being blocked, by temporary or permanent structures,
or even the beach beds or shacks, have long been gone. Today you see all filth,
beggars, conmen, conwomen, junkies, thieves, peddlers and even rapists and
murders laying siege to our once safe and beautiful beaches. Commercialism,
corruption, unhealthy and unplanned tourism has been the cause of our
misfortune.

 

There is yet a new breed of Goans that have popped up of late in different
medias, professing the very old adage if you can't beat them join them and are
sing paeans of the corrupt politicians on different medias, thinking that they
could change the carnivorous Hyenas into veggies and I am sure it will not be
long before  these guys get hooked to the carnivorous diet of the Hyenas
themselves, if they have already not got the taste of it. 

 

Our corrupt politicians will not change unless we stop them by force, they will
never listen to reason or goodwill, that good old dogma has been cast into the
bin. It's only the public outrage that can bring about a change and force the
Hyenas into a veggie diet.

 

I am happy that there are a lot more people and youngsters who want a change and
are getting involved, the trail has been picked up and it won't be long before
the pose catches up with renegades, that, will be the day of reckoning, the dawn
of a new era.

 

Hope we can be proud of our beloved Goa once again in this life time.

Thanks FN. Happy to know that an interesting debate is being waded
through. Perhaps look at archaic meanings of the word invention. Best to
you et al.

IN THAT CASE

Recently USA President Barack Obama have been to India. During his stay in 
India, he visited so many places. finally he visited the Maruti car 
factory.The General Manager (GM) went out of the way to show him around and at 
the end of the tour:-
 
GM: This is the latest car we have manufactured, which will be out for our 
showrooms in 2011.
 
Obama: Oh. great!
 
GM: Did you like it?
 
Obama: Yeah very much!
 
GM: Mr. President, I would like to offer you a free car from this model.
Obama: Oh.. no, I cannot accept it.
 
GM: Why, you dint like it?
 
Obama: I liked it very much, but free it's against my conscience

GM: In that case I'll sell it to you for 100 dollars
 
Obama: (Smiled) Oh really??
 
Obama reached his hand into his pocket and removed 2 notes of 100 dollars, 
handed over to G.M and said:-
 
Obama: In that case, I'll have two.
