[Goanet] New national role for Goa Congressmen

[U. G. Barad]

I read an interesting article titled "Rahul Gandhi's boys in Andhra Pradesh
to measure up Jaganmohan Reddy" at:
URL:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Rahul-Gandhis-boys-in-Andhra-Prades
h-to-measure-up-Jaganmohan-Reddy/articleshow/17446135.cms

If the following is to be believed ("Sources suggest that the duo, Viswajit
Rane and Jitendra Deshprabhu, are quizzing MLAs about their assessment of
the political scene if the Congress enters into an alliance with YSR
Congress.") it would seem that Rahul Gandhi wants some of the Goa
Congressmen to have important national role in the party.

Best regards,

[Goanet] WHO IS AFRAID OF 'MONOM'? ORFEO NEGRO - Brazilian movie -- hit song Manha De Carnaval!?

[Silviano Barbosa]

Hello Domnic-Bab,

First of all Konkani words can have multiple meanings in Salcete and in Bardez.
In Salcete villages the Intruz (Carnaval) Monom or Mono, with an acute accent 
on second "o" makes it Monom, a feared figure at Carnaval time or boogey-man.
But if you have an acute accent on first "o" as  in "Mo" , yes the meaning is 
"dumb" certainly.
In Portuguese there are accents, so it conveys the clear word pronunciation. 
I don't know how they will differentiate it in Devanagri script.
But "Mono" can have 2 meanings. So when a Saxtti mother used to say to a child 
"Baba mono etolo tuka khauncheak" it means the boogey-man and not the dumb 
person.
Cheers

Silviano

  

Re: [Goanet] Goanet Digest, Vol 7, Issue 999 Goan cooking falling from grace

Quite agree with Mervyn and Elsie.  Can a true blue blooded 
Goan imagine caldeen powder?  A lovely dish with stages of preparation, which 
no powder mix can produce.  Tired after arriving from a trip, I once went to a 
restaurant in Calangute and asked for a Goan fish curry and rice.  The 
curry was terrible .These guys should be sued for calling it Goan.

[Goanet] THAT'S LIFE

[PAES]

 


THAT’S LIFE – Bennet Paes
 
Good old days when the river ‘Sal’ had no concrete corridor over its head, I 
had to use the ‘thar’ (ferry-boat) below to get across. Failing to catch the 
‘caminhão’(bus) on the other side, I often ran a mile or two, just to meet my 
sweetheart in downtown Chinchinim. ‘Sweat was oozing out of my teeth’ – so to 
speak, and the girl’s mother used to pity me, saying: “the poor boy must have 
swum across the river.” 
 
But the sympathising lady didn’t know that I didn’t know how to swim. I didn’t 
dare confess it to my ladylove, either. I let her feel that I could even run 
over water, even though only to steal a close look at her pretty face. 
Honestly, that’s as far as I could get, because her mother didn’t allow me any 
closer.
 
Which reminds me of an old Dean Martin number called “L.O.V.E.”. It said love 
is more than a game for two.  Sure it was – the mother played the no.3, and I 
had to lump the load whether I liked it or not. However, what made up for this 
unpalatable situation was my DNA’s oversupply of appetite for change.  So I 
decided to get out of that ‘ferry-tale’ kind of a love affair and seek 
adventure on prettier pastures elsewhere. This ‘moon river’ had made my dream 
and broken it, as well.
 
But fortunately for me, and not long after the first chapter in the book came 
to a close, the Portuguese ‘sossegados’ had for a change sprung into action. 
Keeping up with colonial traditions, rarely though, they produced a world-class 
alternative to the ferry. A brand new bridge was in place which forced the 
ferry-man out of business and enabled the ‘caminhãos’ to extend their route 
over the river and past my doorstep. It was a huge spur to my love-bug’s quest 
for new faces, in places far beyond Chinchinim. Yes, it was, and I did seize 
the moment to go on a roll, until another change stopped me dead in my tracks. 
It reversed my journey right back to this side of the bridge where it all 
began. 
 
Several flings older and with maturity ripened yellow, I descended on a path 
that angels no longer feared to tread. Then, while in a contemplative mood, a 
line from Frank Sinatra’s lyrics caught my memory: “For once in my life I found 
someone who needs me...”. And that someone happened to be the last in a series 
of my life’s drama. That’s right – she happens to be my wife.

[Goanet] My Xaviers (by Brian Mendonca, corrected re-run)

[Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا]

 THURSDAY, 6 DECEMBER 2012
 My Xaviers


The watch tells me it is 12 o'clock. The middle of the day. 12 hours have
gone by. 12 hours yet to come until   this day is done. 50 years have gone
by for Xaviers. 50 and many more still to come.

As I look around I see the famliar faces. I see my teachers. I see my
colleagues who were with me in college. But I also don't see some faces --
faces which have shaped my destiny. For this I am sad, for we remember them
 today.

The many beautiful voices of the choir we just heard, shows us how many of
us work to sing a single tune in harmony.

Most Reverend Father Anil Couto, Archbishop-Designate of Delhi, Reverend
Father Walter, Principal of St Xaviers college, distinguished dignitaries,
members of the staff, and my dear friends. As I stand here I feel honoured
and privileged to be part of these celebrations. I thank Fr Walter for
extending to me this invitation.

As I look at the campus today it is so different from what it was in our
days. There are new buildings, new colours, new themes. But apart all this
physical change, one thing has endured -- the values of St Xaviers college
-- Catholic values --the values of St Francis Xavier.

And these values were instilled in us by our teachers, to whom we are so
grateful today. Indeed the learnings outside our classroom have endured
more than those inside it. Whether it was Ms Ann saying, 'Make friends with
people from all communities,' or Ms Ava saying 'This too shall pass away,'
or Prof. Rajashekar instilling in us the way to respect our teachers -- or
Prof Newman buying a set of my books for the library --- they all gave us
lessons for life.

It is this confidence which has enabled me to excel, go out of Goa, prove
my worth and return to Goa to give back something to this land. The
upbringing in Xaviers in my formative years made it all possible. Apart
from memories I have nothing to recall the past. But I want to share with
you something I have preserved for 26 years - the Mr Xavier sash of
1986-86 [shows
the white satin sash to thunderous applause].

All of us ex-Xavierites want to continue to be a part of this family. We
need a strong Alumni association. We also need greater interaction between
students of our colleges so we can build on the spirit of Xaviers.

On behalf of the ex-Xavierites, I want to thank Xaviers for making us what
we are. For showing us what we could be. Prof. Newman purchased copies of
my first self-published volume of poems *Last Bus to Vasco: Poems from
Goa* (2006)
for the library. I would like to present a copy of my second self-published
book of verse *A Peace of India: Poems in Transit *(2010) and a copy of *Indian
Literature *(2004)*-- *the literary journal of the Sahitya Akademi -- which
includes my poetic debut on the national stage -- to Fr Walter, for the
college.

I'd like to end with my poem dedicated to all ex-Xavierites in tribute to
the lovely memories we share:

*My Xaviers*

by Brian Mendonca

*In sylvan haunts*
*Behind the leafy library*
*I used to sit on the steps*
*And watch life unwind in the praca below.*
*
**On trips fromI Vasco to visit my brother*
*As soon as Xaviers came into view on the hill*
*I remember mum's playful --'Look! there's Kevin!'*
*And I used to strain my eyes, but only see the college.*
*
**Xaviers was 'baths', and 'crook' and 'Gondo'*
*C-Am-F-G. 'You Drive Me Cray-ay-ay-ay-zee.'*
*And lights flashing from the women's hostel room below*
*where Norma waited.*
*
**Classical music (usually Wagner)*
*wafted eerily from Fr Miranda's room*
*on night when we kept uf*
*Studying for our Boards.*
*
**Ricky used to strum his compositions*
*'When you are down  . . . and feeling blue'*
*I met him at the graveyard gate at Velim*
*Later, dad sent me his obituary in the papers. . .*
*
**'Kalusha' (Caroline) sat by the sea at Calangute*
*playing the guitar singing 'I Believe in Music'*
*As we went in the blue college bus*
*Singing carols for the aged. . . .*
*
**Time moved on, so did we.*
*'Pop', 'Vice-Pop', Professor Mendonca, David*
*Across time and space we are here once more*
*Only the college remains, where it once stood.*
*
**House of memories, exalted on high*
*In the journey of life, your Light shines on*
*Thy values sustain, where others may flounder*
*All hail to St Francis from hill to shore.*

This is Brian Mendonca signing off from the 1986 batch of Xaviers. If you
need me I am at lastbustovasco.blogspot.in Thank you one and all.

[Goanet] WHO IS AFRAID OF 'MONOM'? ORFEO NEGRO - Brazilian movie -- hit song Manha De Carnaval!?‏

[Domnic Fernandes]

Mogall Silviano bab,

We still use the word "NONO" in Bardez to frighten the kids. My mother also 
used the same word (Nono) to frighten us. She hailed from Benaulim, Salcete.

Moi-mogan,

Domnic Fernandes
Anjuna, Goa
Mob: 8805237604/9420979201

Hello Domnic-Bab,
 
First of all Konkani words can have multiple meanings in Salcete and in Bardez.
In Salcete villages the Intruz (Carnaval) Monom or Mono, with an acute accent 
on second "o" makes it Monom, a feared figure at Carnaval time or boogey-man.
But if you have an acute accent on first "o" as  in "Mo" , yes the meaning is 
"dumb" certainly.
In Portuguese there are accents, so it conveys the clear word pronunciation. 
I don't know how they will differentiate it in Devanagri script.
But "Mono" can have 2 meanings. So when a Saxtti mother used to say to a child 
"Baba mono etolo tuka khauncheak" it means the boogey-man and not the dumb 
person.
Cheers
 
Silviano
 
  

  

[Goanet] Liberation and Special Status

[Bernado Colaco]

indians even with Portuguese names must mind their own business. Congrats to 
Lawerence de Curtorim for his piece of correct information.


BC

















s liberation and special status
Message-ID:
    
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I'm not aware what the school textbooks say about Goa's liberation but
for those who are keen to learn what happened and why it happened
there are several books that detail the many aspects of liberation
history. Some of the books came out last year as part of Goa's 50
years of independence. Besides, the Central Library has many books
that a keen student of Goa's liberation story can access.

What Lawrence Fernandes has written is nothing new. Reading it in the
context of the renewed demand for Special Status, Goans who feel
betrayed by Nehru's promise must understand that politics is not
static. If Nehru was alive it may have been a different story but his
successors choose not to follow the late PM's words. However, Sonia
has made it clear that the Goa government must advance its case for
Special Status on grounds other than economic. A hard call but
nevertheless worth trying. The Goa government is all for it and Goans
who clamour for it, in fact almost all in and outside the state, must
have patience. If it comes good, very good and if it doesn't we could
write more articles, have more debates and keep the issue alive till
the cows come home or Goa goes to the dogs. The cows are roaming the
streets and roads and the stray dogs are everywhere ;-(

[Goanet] Raisons in Goa (by Rose Fernandes)

[Melvyn Fernandes]

Dear goanet readers

Word on the ground in the UK is that it is not possible to obtain raisons (not 
to be confused with currants) in Goa, hence we are continually receiving 
requests 
for raisons to pack in our already heavy baggage to bring over on our next 
visit to Goa! 

Is this true that no shop in Goa sells raisons? 

If they do, could any of you kindly advise me where to buy raisons in Goa, 
preferable either in Candolim, Calangute, Mapusa or Panjim areas. The reason is 
during my holidays in January next year, I would like to purchase a packet and 
bring it back to London, United Kingdom, just to prove a point!

Unless, of course, raisons have become a new substitute for Cadbury's 
chocolates... a food item known to taste better when one does not have to pay 
for it. 
Talking of chocolates, those living in the United Kingdom and visiting Goa now 
have a bonus. Special consideration has been shown by manufacturers who 
have picked up on our chocolate parcels and changed metal containers to 
plastic, thus reducing the weight to facilitate us to carry more. This should 
also have 
a positive effect on the mining crisis in Goa.

Re: [Goanet] Dave Brubeck, Take Five. More

[Albert Peres]

More on Brubeck Pakistan and India connection ...
http://lmkonline.wordpress.com/tag/alex-rodrigues
Sometime in the '60s Rodrigues played with big-name jazz player Dave 
Bubeck. "I felt so important (during the collaborative performance) at 
Denso Hall," he said.  ( ed - likely 1958 )


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denso_Hall

http://www.meridian.org/jazzambassadors/dave_brubeck/dave_brubeck.php
The 1958 State Department tour of jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck 
and his integrated classic Quartet, with saxophonist Paul Desmond, 
drummer Joe Morello, and bassist Eugene Wright, marked the first foray 
of the Jazz Ambassadors across the Iron Curtain. The group began the 
trip after a commercial gig in Stockholm, traveling through East Germany 
to Poland, and from there to Turkey, India, Ceylon, Pakistan, and 
Afghanistan.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Five
"Take Five" is a jazz piece written by Paul Desmond and performed by The 
Dave Brubeck Quartet on their 1959 album Time Out.  The inspiration for 
this style of music came during a US State Department 
 sponsored tour of 
Eurasia  and Brubeck observed in 
Turkey  a group of street musicians 
performing a traditional Turkish folk song that was played in 9/8 time, 
a rare meter for Western music. After learning about the form from 
native symphony musicians, Brubeck was inspired to create an album that 
deviated from the usual 4/4 time of Jazz and experimented in the more 
exotic such styles he experienced 
abroad.^


http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/29/arts/music/29kapl.html
When Ambassadors Had Rhythm
HALF a century ago, when America was having problems with its image 
during the cold war, Adam Clayton Powell Jr., the United States 
representative from Harlem, had an idea. Stop sending symphony 
orchestras and ballet companies on international tours, he told the 
State Department. Let the world experience what he called "real 
Americana": send out jazz bands instead.


http://www.tajmahalfoxtrot.com
This book tells the story of India  --  and especially the city of 
Bombay  -- through the lives of a menagerie of geniuses, strivers and 
eccentrics, both Indian and American, who helped jazz find a home in the 
sweaty subcontinent.

[Goanet] India has lifted two months gap for tourist visas

[IGSG Goa]

*Deutscher Text weiter unten*

*Home Ministry of India has lifted two-months gap for tourist visa*



Dear reader,

we are pleased to announce that the Home Ministry of India has lifted the
two-months gap for tourist visas.

We are very happy about this decision as we were concerned about the matter
and, as you might know, we had sent a Petition to the Home Ministry and
other Indian Ministries on 7 December 2011 to ease the two-months gap. See
Petition 

We had also sent a copy to the German Foreign Ministry in Berlin. They
answered us on 31 July 2012 that the matter regarding visa rules is of the
sole responsibility of the issuing country. Nevertheless the German
Ministry contacted the Indian Embassy in Berlin. See Answer of German
Foreign 
Ministry



Here is  the  press release:



Ministry of Home Affairs 04-December, 2012 15:13 IST



*Revised Guidelines on Tourist Visa*

The Govt. has reviewed the provision relating to two months gap between two
visits of a foreign national to India on a Tourist Visa.

It has been decided to lift the restriction of two month gap on re-entry of
foreign nationals coming to India except in case of nationals of
Afghanistan, China, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Sudan, Bangladesh, foreigners of
Pakistan and Bangladesh origins and Stateless persons.

Liebe Leser,

die indische Regierung hat die 2-Monats-Klausel für Touristen-Visas

Wir freuen uns, dass damit ein Schritt getan wurde, für den sich die IGSG
in den letzten Monaten eingesetzt hatte. Wir dürfen daran erinnern, dass
die IGSG im Dezember 2011 eine Petition in diesem Sinne an mehrere indische
Ministerien gesandt hatte (siehe Petition ).


Ein Schreiben in dieser Angelegenheit war auch an das Außenministerium in
Berlin gegangen, das darauf hinwies, dass die Regelung für die Einreise in
der alleinigen Souveränität des betreffenden Staates liege, die Sache aber
informell mit der indischen Botschaft aufnahm (siehe Answer of German

[Goanet] The Goan Tourist

[Melvyn Fernandes]

Dear goanet readers

This is the season when Goan immigrants living and toiling overseas and paying 
taxes for the development of overseas countries become Goan tourists heading 
for Goa to enjoy the sunshine and food.  The patriotic Goan expecting to hear 
our music will be dismayed to find music from all regions of India played all 
day and night in our local restaurants.   If you look closely the seasonal 
workers in all these restaurants come from different parts of India hence the 
music to the foreigner makes no difference and keeps the workers happy.  This 
music in also featured as background in Goa tourism advertisements by cable in 
Europe.

Talking of Goan food, if you order a toast you will get real toast where you 
have to scrap off the burnt bits.  The person serving you has probably never 
made toast before. The waiter or chef filling in the vacuum of native Goan 
workers and serving you fish curry has also never seen fish in their part of 
India.  You of course know where the original native Goan workers are - on 
cruise ships, Swindon, etc.

It is easy to differentiate the Goan tourist from the foreigner, for example, a 
foreigner will catch a taxi and relax on the journey.  A Goan tourist will be 
sitting on edge looking at the meter, no one told them that the meter does not 
work.  Likewise in shops it is quite embarrassing to see the Goan tourist 
haggling over the price of clothes which locals buy anyway.  To further break 
this down, visitors from the United Kingdom can definitely be easily spotted as 
they bring out their antibacterial liquid or wipes for their hands before each 
meal in a restaurant despite a water tap being available to wash their hands.

Most hospitality services be it accommodation or food are subcontracted by the 
susegad Goan owner only interested in depositing money in the bank.  It would 
be good to see these owners take a more active interest in promoting our music 
and organise relevant training for their chefs and waiters.  The Goa tourist 
office in Panjim may be able to assist in this matter.

s liberation and special status
Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I'm not aware what the school textbooks say about Goa's liberation but
for those who are keen to learn what happened and why it happened
there are several books that detail the many aspects of liberation
history. Some of the books came out last year as part of Goa's 50
years of independence. Besides, the Central Library has many books
that a keen student of Goa's liberation story can access.

What Lawrence Fernandes has written is nothing new. Reading it in the
context of the renewed demand for Special Status, Goans who feel
betrayed by Nehru's promise must understand that politics is not
static. If Nehru was alive it may have been a different story but his
successors choose not to follow the late PM's words. However, Sonia
has made it clear that the Goa government must advance its case for
Special Status on grounds other than economic. A hard call but
nevertheless worth trying. The Goa government is all for it and Goans
who clamour for it, in fact almost all in and outside the state, must
have patience. If it comes good, very good and if it doesn't we could
write more articles, have more debates and keep the issue alive till
the cows come home or Goa goes to the dogs. The cows are roaming the
streets and roads and the stray dogs are everywhere ;-(

jc,
I believe I clearly spelt the reasons here, 10 years ago, why gold would be a 
good investment vehicle. Either I have been very lucky i.e. ten years in a row 
or the reasons given were very correct. 

Those who were interested in the future then and who invested in 
gold are smiling today.

Sadly, I think very few people on this forum are interested in the future. A 
precious few are interested in the present. I feel that most people here are 
fixated on years gone by. The most popular one being 1961, which is brought up 
ad nauseam.

Finally, the Golden Rule, just like gold, is an awesome investment. Those who 
have been lucky enough to invest in it, are the happy people of today.

Re: [Goanet] Potta effect

Here is an article exposing the faith healing quackery and fraud that goes on 
in places like Potta:

http://nirmukta.com/2012/07/06/the-pseudoscience-of-healing-crusades/


Unfortunately, because of religio-political pressure the Supreme Court of India 
stopped a criminal investigation against Potta from going forward. What a great 
travesty against justice, reason and secularism!

Re: [Goanet] SHANTARAM NAIK MEETS ANTONY ON REJECTION OF GOA FLOAT

[floriano]

Dear Mr. Naik,

Thank you for your concern but no thank you. The Expert Committee for the RD 
Parade has known GOA's performance  at the Parade for a long long time.
It was a 'BHAGWAS' an utter failure during the last tenure of the BJP in 
Goa. This year's 'JAGOR' has probably insulted the immaginations of the 
Committee members as it could probably be devoid of any GOA CONNECTION, but 
Marathized display.


Serves you guys right. Now eat the SHAME.

FOR THE FAVOUR OF PUBLICATION

Mr. Shantaram Naik MP, has strongly objected to rejection Goa Float, this
year,  by the Expert Committee which examines Floats to be included in the
Republic Day Parade.

In this connection Mr. Naik met Shri A.K. Antony, Union Minister of Defence
and Shri Jitendra Singh ,  Union Minister for State of Defence in
Parliament House today and gave them a  memorandum requesting for the
review of the decision of the Expert Committee.

Mr. Naik said that in the first meeting with the Committee, Goa Government
presented   two themes,  out of which, Expert committee shortlisted theme “*
JAGOR”.*

Mr. Naik said in the second meeting, new drawings on JAGOR were presented
whereupon the Expert Committee suggested some major changes.

In the third meeting revised drawings, with suggested changes, were
presented, and in that meeting a few further minor changes were suggested
by the committee , and that,  Goa Government representatives were asked to
go ahead with Model and Music4.
