[Goanet] Fw: Fwd: AN ODE TO SORPOTEL
SORPOTEL BRINGS OUT THE POET IN YOU? AN ODE TO SORPOTEL. For the hotch potch known as Haggis Let the Scotsman yearn or yell For the taste of Yorkshire pudding Let the English family dwell. For the famed Tandoori Chicken That Punjabis praise like hell But for us who hail from Goa There's nothing like SORPOTEL! From the big wigs in Colaba To the small fry in Cavel From the growing tribes in Bandra To the remnants in Parel From the lovely girls in Glaxo To the boys in Burma Shell There's no Goan whose mouth won't water When you talk of SORPOTEL! And Oh! for Christmas dinner Don't you think it would be swell If by some freak of fortune Or by some magic spell We could, as they have in Goa A bottle of the cajel And toddy leavened sannas To go with SORPOTEL And from good ol' Kolkata, Please let me add some thoughts, Of hing-aer kachouris, and tea in chatty-pots. A perfect combination, I'm sure you'd remember well, But for that sit-down dinner, It's got to be SORPOTEL! Now the anglo-bras will swear, by smelly balichow, And butt curry from Chulias, (You know, the innards of the cow.) But they get all stoned and dreamy when they get that heady smell, of toddy-drunken sannas and steaming SORPOTEL! And every bloke from Cal , Will talk of kati roll. Of puchkas, dalpuri and nehari, And sometimes maachaer jhol. Panthey Kowswey jhalfrezee and pepper water Oh I love them as well, But if we have to go to the polls I VOTE FOR SORPOTEL

RESPONSE: Thank You M M for that timely post. Despite ALL the achievements and bravado, we have NOT yet grown up and stopped behaving like mean spirited animals. From honor killings to dowry deaths to gang rapes. 'We' are supposed to be a 'shining' and 'mahan' India that is Bharat? A place where after decades of groping, special compartments and trains have to be organized to try protect women from these animals? and We are 'Proud to be Indian'? Give me a break! jc http://www.colaco.net/1/caste.htm Women had a special place in this ancient subcontinental societyin the background!. They were denied the opportunity to learn Sanskrit and had to be satisfied with the dialect Prakrit. Sanskrit was the domain of the Brahmin men. The women were hence relegated to subservient positions. They were there, as it were, to cook, clean, sing, dance and for the sexual pleasure of the men folk until it was time to jump into the funeral pyre in order to become a 'sati'. In this regard, the Kamasutra texts make interesting reading. ps on Feb 13, 2013 . The day before 'Valentine's Day': HAS MUCH CHANGED FOR WOMEN since those ancient days?

[Goanet] Goans should not sell their ancestral property.
Everyone advises Goans not to sell their ancestral properties in Goa. I surely wish we had that choice of not selling our ancestral property to a squatter who call himself our mundcar. We have been traipsing to courts and back and visiting mamaladar and panchayat offices to try and stop this rogue from robbing our property for the last twenty years. We were in Goa in January this year 2013 for over a month as soon as we landed we had two court summons to attend court and the mamlader's engineer to measure the three hundred sq. metres for the squatter. We are forced by the Goa Government to sell our ancestral land to him for a paltry sum of I believe 20rupees per sq. metre. What really saddens me is that my ancestors saved enough money to buy through hard work and went without a lot of essential luxuries to leave land for their progeny to carry out their wishes, and these people just walk in and lay claims to our land. Our wives and children refuse to come to Goa knowing fully well that we would be embroiled in court cases and we would not have the time to show them our beautiful Goa. Ignatius Fernandes.

Re: [Goanet] Goans should not sell their ancestral property.
I believe every word you have said. My aunt lost her house in Ponda to tenants living next door. My daughter- in-law's father lost his house in Goa to relatives and I know of a total stranger in Goa stealing someone's house.This someone was not living in Goa.. How he managed to change the name on this house baffles me to this day. My aunt (dead now) and daughter-in-law's father live abroad. You can 'live' in the Government offices to get matters sorted out. This is for your information. God bless Goa! Keep up your good work.
