Joe,
Thanks for these pictures.
I am from Colvale. 
I was always told that this was the Colvale Fort.

I have even been in a dug out canoe from the "Tar" in Colvale, up the creek, to 
the ruins of this fort which lies half way to Tivim. Is there anyone here who 
can shed some light on this?

Thanks for raising this issue. I have been discussing it with friends for 
several days. Its almost a fortnight now that I make it a point to watch the 
news on Doordarshan to know that my country is not as hopeless as these rascal 
private channels are portraying. These chnnles go as news channels but what 
they give is gossip and are undertakers for vested interests. The middle class 
of this country is entertained by this orgy.

[Goanet] NEGATIVISM 24x7

2012-10-20 Thread PAES
NEGATIVISM  24x7
At first sight it appears to be all negativism on India’s TV screens. And it 
does remain unchanged till the end. It also seems that negativism is a must to 
keep these channels floating in air 24x7, propped up by a torrent of repetitive 
ads, and a sprinkling of Bollywood blabber for a garnish.
Unless an earth-shattering scam occurs at the close of the week, sombre Sundays 
send us wondering if India will fall to pieces in the weeks to follow. But 
fortunately it doesn’t, despite all negativism that breaks the barriers of 
human sensitivities. 
 In fact, so much happens behind those very screens that portray a doomsday 
scenario. Recently, India blasted its first unmanned ‘Chandrayaan 1’ to the 
moon and successfully test fired a series of ‘Agni’ ballistic missiles, all of 
them of India’s own genius. What a wonder, none of them crossed the airwaves 
these TV channels operate on!

India's Phenomenon called Arvind Kejriwal
 - by Floriano Lobo
 
 When I went to the Manoshanti Hotel in Panjim, some few years ago, to listen 
to this new RTI avatar called Arvind Kejriwal, I had thought that this avatar 
will go places in time to come should he choose to immerse himself into clean, 
activism related, national politics, time having come to replace the corrupted 
politics of 'WINNABILITY' and politics of transferring GOD from Heaven to 
Earth. 
 
I made it a point to have a few words with him in that dharshan at Manoshanti 
Hotel and had even handed over to him the Constitution and the Road Map for Goa 
of the Goa Su-Raj Party, Goa's fledgling Regional Political Party of Activists 
and not of Politicians, with a request to him that he go through these when he 
found time. I want to believe that he has gone through these two documents. 

However, when he teamed up with another phenomenon call Anna Hazare, my 
expectations of Arvind Kejriwal had cooled off. According to my inner voice, 
Arvind Kejriwal's impetus and drive in cleaning up the ever dirty politics of 
India through an NGO alone would not go far, because Anna Hazare , according to 
me, was the zombie of the RSS, and Arvind Kejriwal's continued association with 
him would come to naught. 

I was surprised, when Anna Hazare initially consented to the idea of setting up 
a political party after his second 'fast' turned out to be a big flop. I knew 
that the strings would be pulled by the RSS to pull him back from this 
decision. And I was right, because, RSS was, all this while, supporting Team 
Anna and it's IAC Campaign in the hope that it's laadli BJP would benefit from 
it and come into prominence, just like it came into prominence before on the 
Ayodhya and Ram Mandir card, by projecting Congress as Corrupt to the core. RSS 
never wanted Anna Hazare to espouse the cause of a new political outfit that 
would challenge both, the Congress as well as the BJP. With Arvind Kejriwal 
attached to Team Anna, this was bound to happen and BJP would eat dust along 
with the Congress. So they pulled the strings and Anna Hazare went back to his 
Raleigaon Siddi's backwaters. I had written about this saying that Arvind 
Kejriwal was better-off sans the flip-flop
 Anna Hazare. I never attended a single meeting of the Anna Hazare's Anti 
Corruption Campaign in Goa because this campaign was nothing but the face of 
the RSS-BJP with the well known RSS sympathizer Adv. Satish Sonak in the 
forefront. I had even dissuaded people from attending the Panjim Azad Maidan 
Meet where Anna Hazare was to attend. I knew where this campaign would start 
and where it would end, more specifically, at the upper floors of the Hotel 
Nova Goa in Panjim.

I am happy that Arvind Kejriwal is now free from the RSS-BJP pot-boiler with 
his new political party serious about contesting all of 545 seats in the 
Parliament in the coming Lok Sabha Elections - 2014 as stated in the section of 
the Press. He has already ruffled political feathers to the extent that they 
have now started losing their cool at press conferences and have grouped 
together to support one another against Arvind Kejriwal's blitz that is going 
to expose them of all of their naked deeds heretofore hidden and/or covered up 
by putting 'Honest Jokers' in front. The cake was being baked for these two 
political parties, Congress and the BJP, to eat, with a few morsels to be 
thrown to the other State political parties like BSP, SP, RJD, TMC etc., to 
keep them contented and satisfied. Enter Kejriwal, this long time feasting at 
the cost of the nation is being questioned and tempers are getting frayed and 
out of control, already. The long since
 wrapped-up issues between the folds of the 'sari' of the Congress' President 
are being un-wrapped, on the one side by Arvind Kejriwal and his dedicated team 
of Social and Political Activists and on the other side by the Hitler of 
Gujarat, Narendra Modi, though Narendra Modi's rantings must be discounted as 
the ramblings of a 'manic killer' with blood of INNOCENT thousands staining his 
hands. 
  In my view, this is the God sent opportunity for Arvind Kejriwal to set up a 
State-National-Federal System of Political Parties where his soon to be named 
National Political aligns itself with compatible to it's IAC ideology State 
Political Parties to cleanse the Nation's Parliament for once of criminal and 
sycophantic elements and put in place members who are erudite, gentlemen/women 
statesmen/women with vision, knowledgeable about India, it's people and their 
problems, as well as knowledgeable of the affairs of the world. Let Arvind 
Kejriwal's new party not dabble with State
