[Goanet] Bharat Mukti Morcha condemns Goa Chief Minister over recruitment conspiracy

2012-06-02 Thread sebastian Rodrigues



Bharat Mukti Morcha extends support to the Bhahujan
mulnivasi youth protesting against the injustice meted out to them in 
recruitment
for appointments in Goa Medical
 College and Directorate of Health
Services, Department of Mines and Geology, and Department of Water Resources. 

 

Around 900 youth recruited for different type and category
of jobs are protesting the political blockade of their appointment to the 
selected
posts. The political block has been created by Chief Minister of Goa Manohar
Parrikar.

 

The youth in case of Goa Medical
 College were served with legally
valid memorandum offer of recruitment on 20th December2011 while Directorate of
Health Services served the legally valid memorandum containing offer of
temporary appointment on 22nd
 December 2011. The further process was held up due to State
Assembly code of Conduct on December
 24 2011.



 

Subsequently after the elections BJP government acquired power with Manohar
Parrikar as Chief Minister. When the youth followed up on the process of their
recruitment Chief Minister did not support the selected bhahujan mulnivasi
youth thereby dishonoring legally valid memorandum. 

 

Youth hailing from different parts of Goa
are protesting in capital city of Panjim
for the past few days. Few days back on 29th
 May 2012 these bhahujan mulnivasi youth marched though heart of Panjim
 City shouting slogans against the
Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar after his guard followed by Chief Minister
publicly attacked the mulnivasi Bhahujan youth Roshan Chari outside official
residence of the Chief Minister. Today these youth have squatted outside the
official residence of Chief Minister at Altinho, Panjim.

 

Bharat Mukti Morcha considers agitation of these mulnivasi youth just and fair,
and extends support to them. It is a great brahmanical conspiracy that has
driven Goa's Bahujan samaj to the street protests. This
is a case of political manipulation to deny these posts to the selected 
candidates.

 

Bharat Mukti Morcha also takes serious note of the discriminatory criteria of
preference of vote and place of residence while indulging in political
manipulations. Bharat Mukti Morcha strongly condemns Chief Minister for this
nefarious act.

 

Bharat Mukti Morcha considers this as one more instance of Brahmanical
colonialism and calls upon Mulnivasi Bhahujan Samaj to unite and join Bharat
Mukti Morcha for a nation wide agitation for liberation.

Re: [Goanet] The American financial situation in simple terms

So many of you make investment decisions with your precious life savings based 
on bogus numbers put out by various countries and institutions?  The latest 
investors to be burned were Facebook investors. Do people really believe the 
numbers put out by the US Fed Reserve, the Chinese government, Wall Street, the 
USA government, European governments, the Indian government, global banks, 
etc.?  You really trust the garbage coming out of the international financial 
system and its many institutions in this day and age?

I can only hope you did not trust Enron's numbers in 1999 and Lehman Brothers 
and AIG numbers in 2007 or the mining companies' numbers published in Africa. 
Anyone with an EXCEL spreadsheet can creatively "photoshop their numbers" (yes,

[Goanet] Jerry Pinto’s first novel, Em and the big Hoom; and his second: Inbox Outbox

2012-06-02 Thread Luis Vas
The fractured self
The novel’s success lies in its characterisation of Catholics,
suffering women and domineering men

Eunice de Souza

Though it’s far from being a soggy saga, the author has triumphed in
sketching convincing characters

I sometimes wonder why, given all that we see or read about, the word
“family” continues to have a cosy sound. For many people, the family
is as cosy as the stranglehold of an octopus. Families have been
dysfunctional ever since Eve blamed the serpent and Adam blamed Eve.
But  love, hate, fear, ambivalence, all form a bonding we can rarely
escape.

Jerry Pinto’s first novel, Em and the big Hoom (Aleph Books, 2012)
explores the relationship between a mentally unstable mother,
(variously diagnosed as schizophrenic, manic depressive, given to
attempts to commit suicide), her two young children and their father.

It’s tricky material to handle: the book is shot through with almost
unbearable pain, but it’s far from being a soggy saga. It’s an
extraordinary achievement, flawlessly written, variously textured, and
full of convincing characters who don’t fit stereotypes about
Catholics/suffering women/domineering men.

Em, the mother, sensitive, cultured, flamboyant, doesn’t evade the
word ‘mad,’ nor do the children, though other children jeer at them.
They want to know what she was like when she was “whole.” How did she
meet their father?

What jobs did she do? The narration moves with the questions, the
answers she gives or chooses not to give, her endless cups of tea, the
beedis she smokes, and her volatile moods. In a heartbreaking sentence
which “sums up” the book, the narrator says, “She went up.  She came
down. She went up again. We snatched at her during the intervals.”

But again, the narrator can be ironic at his own expense: “Once, in a
timid attempt to help, I took her hand in mine and sat with her. My
motives were mixed. I wanted to help but I had also written the stage
directions for myself: ‘Enter son, stage left.  He looks at her for a
moment and then goes and sits by her side.  He takes her hand in his
and offers her what consolation he can.”

There are scenes of pure comedy.  Before Em and Augustine are married,
“two senior women, dressed in silk and magnificent Sunday hats”
presented themselves at Augustine’s office.  He had no idea who they
were.

One of the ladies said, “We are not in the habit of introducing
ourselves…I suggest you ask Mr Andrade who works here with you to
introduce us.”  They have come to make sure Augustine is the right
kind of man for Em, and to confess their own reduced circumstances:
“Our circumstances are not what they once were,” says the elder woman.
“Bertha was driven from her home in Burma by Herr Hitler.  Very little
was left.”

“Our chemist shops,” Bertha adds. “And the this-thing.” “Teak
plantation,” says Louisa. “She means the teak plantation.” “That’s
what I was this-thing,” says Bertha.  Louisa ignores her. “I see,”
says Augustine, although he doesn’t.  He hasn’t yet learnt his future
mother-in-law’s conversational style.”

Dom Moraes wrote an account of his mentally unstable mother in his
autobiography. It was harrowing. But to keep writing about such
material in an entire novel is a different matter.  There’s  the
danger of repetitiousness. But the characters themselves keep throwing
up surprises.

Em, for instance, was allowed to resign from her American Consulate
job “when she started adding her own, and very alarming, comments to
diplomatic reports.’ ‘Personal interpolations’, they called them. I
loved that phrase and when I used it, aged eight or thereabouts, Em
could still laugh though the joke was on her.”

Astonishingly for a Catholic lady of her time, she tells her future
husband, in a letter, that she is afraid of sex, and that he should
feel free to take a mistress. He replies, “Your body is yours to give
or not. Should you decide not, I will respect that…Let me say, though,
that I find all the signs most encouraging.”

Jerry Pinto: Inbox Outbox

BOMBAY - Starting with the idea that everyone would love to peek into
someone else's e-mail, an Indian writer has hit upon an innovative
idea to serialise a novel.

Bombay-based author Jerry Pinto's e-novel, titled Inbox Outbox, can be
read by accessing the "mail" of protagonist Jai Mathur and his friends
on internet websites which are owned and run by Cafe Networks.

"We all feel tempted to read other people's mail," said the
34-year-old writer. "In the novel, you enter Jai's world by reading
his mail."

To get a daily glimpse of Jai Mathur's life, readers will have to go
either to www.cafemumbai.com, www.cafekolkata.com or www.cafe
delhi.com, log on to the novel and open his e-mail.

The novel is in the same format as normal e-mail, complete with inbox,
outbox and folders titled Personal, Work, Drafts and Trash which give
readers access to Mathur's mails to his girlfriend, b
