[Goanet-News] Politics for us was a means... for Mali -- Marissa Coutinho Samake (by Remediana Dias)

2014-02-12 Thread Goanet Reader
POLITICS FOR US WAS A MEANS... FOR MALI -- MARISSA COUTINHO SAMAKE

  Present-day Mali was once part of three West
  African empires that controlled trans-Saharan
  trade: the Ghana Empire, the Mali Empire (for which
  Mali is named), and the Songhai Empire.  During its
  golden age, there was a flourishing of mathematics,
  astronomy, literature, and art.  At its peak in
  1300, Mali covered an area about twice the size of
  modern-day France, and stretched to the west coast
  of Africa, as the Wikipedia puts it. In the late
  19th century, during the Scramble for Africa,
  France seized control of Mali, making it a part of
  French Sudan.  And there's a Goan story tied up
  there too!

Being a successful woman is a common goal. A certain prestige
comes with being successful in life.  However, everyone
defines success differently.  For some, it's about the money;
for others, it's about being able to do what they want to do
on a daily basis.  For Marissa Coutinho Samake, it has been a
long journey as a Goan from Bahrain -- to US to Mali.  She
speaks to Goanet's cybercorrespondent Remediana Remy Dias
about her journey and how she wants to continue making a
difference in others' lives.

RD: Tell us about yourself.


I have lived a relatively blessed life. I believe my parents
gave me every opportunity to succeed.  I was born in 1983 on
the tiny island of Bahrain.  My parents who are both Goans,
were working there and in fact still reside there today.

Mine was small family and I have an older brother.  After
finishing up high school in Bahrain, my parents were intent
on sending me for college in the US.  I got accepted into
Brigham Young University and completed my Bachelor's in
Information Systems.

  During my time in Utah (USA), I met my husband Yeah
  Samaké.  Yeah is from Mali.  We have two children:
  Keanen (7 years) and Carmen (5 years).  In 2011,
  Yeah decided to run for the Presidency in Mali.  We
  wanted to help bring change to one of the poorest
  nations in the world and we believed we could.

We moved our entire family to Mali from the US.  For me, my
family is everything, a gift from God.  If the family fails,
then anything we do in life is a failure.  I love to do the
things that better the lives of those around me, if even to
bring a smile for one sec.  On the other hand, the one thing
that bothers me more than anything is dishonesty.  The
shortness of time in life right now does not permit many
hobbies, but I love to read when I can.

RD: What has been the challenging part being the life partner
of an aspiring President of a country?


I am not a politician, by any means. In fact I am everything
a politician should not be. Open and blunt. I spent much of
my professional career in management and customer relations
in the US. When Yeah became a Mayor of Ouelessebougou, Mali,
in 2009 I became the first lady of Ouelessebougou by default.

When Yeah decided to run for President in 2011, he had my
full support. But politics is something I have had to grow
into. Politics in Mali is much like it is in India and most
places in the world. Corruption is the name of the game. For
me that was my biggest challenge. Here it is so integrated in
the way of life that many do not even see it as corruption.

We had to fight being relatively new, but also competing with
politicians that had stolen money from the country for 20+
years. During our campaign, we maintained a transparency
about how our funds were used. There was a check and balance
and accountability standards that took many Malians involved
in our team off guard.

When people expect differently, they act differently.  The
challenge is not force a change, it is to affect change
through example.  Also to counter possible corruption, we did
all our fundraising in the US, so we did not have to answer
to special interest groups within Mali's political sphere.

However this also made it challenging and while we were
blessed to raise how much we did, we were short of the amount
needed to truly campaign in the four corners of Mali.

  Nevertheless, the opportunity was amazing.  I had
  some amazing opportunities to meet with many women
  and hear first hand their challenges.  I loved
  getting to meet all our youth and seeing their
  drive and passion that will one day run the
  country.  It was amazing to watch our youth use
  tablets as a new innovative way to spread the
  message of change.  It was refreshing to see the
  youth volunteer their time for our campaign setting
  up support clubs and campaigning on their own time
  and dime.

[Goanet] Bank Strikes

2014-02-12 Thread Ana Maria Fernandes
Again and again the bank employees strike and we customers are the most 
sufferers. What kind of service does these so called bank employees giving us ? 
long ques, abuses, several trips to the banks to get small work done etc etc. 
Why does Aires Rodrigues take up this issue instead of cleaning ministers, and 
advocates appointed by courts ? I would have saluted him if he had to file a 
case on our behalf putting these strikes at rest once for all. I request 
readers to do at least one thing. I have started a letter to herald editor 
highlighting this issue. I would be happy if each of you just sit or the net 
and send a email to Herald or navhindtimes or any newspaper stating your 
resentment over bank strikes. Can you do it ? or will you say like a typical 
goan I have ATM card so these strike do not affect me. i too have atm card but 
I am thinking of all old people who do not know to use atm cards . what about 
other service ? take courage. When I see a letter in the newspaper i will call 
you a brave person or else ?

[Goanet] Hot Loves Valentine Day Recall

2014-02-12 Thread Melvyn Fernandes
Dear readers

Nearly over a hundred and fifty years ago some of our ancestors left Goa with 
their Potlos and koitos leaving the Pearl of the Orient having been told “the 
world is your oyster”.
Our Goykars are the only community I know that can be European and Indian at 
the same time.
Today’s disgruntled and homeless new arrivals in breadline Britain from Goa 
find solace at the great institution built by the son of a carpenter from 
Nazareth.   After Sunday service it is now common to hear of a scuffle or two 
going on resulting in hospital admission.   All in the name of LOVE.   
Let me explain.   When today’s young men left Goa in this century to seek their 
fortune they left their lady loves behind and asked their fellow Goykars in Goa 
to “look after them”.   Their fellow Goykars in Goa are doing just that -  
looking properly after their lady loves.   This is now turning into jealousy 
and “pistols after Sunday service” in other words a proper Goan kestao.
Local settled Goykars in the United Kingdom who have been here for years and 
who were once “Proud to be Goan” are becoming embarrassed to be associated with 
these “Koitoheads” who are easy to spot, just like the Koito they are sharp, 
bent and given the chance are ready to eat you out of house and home including 
your job.   With the festa dis season around the corner these koitoheads will 
gate crash a function towards the end with no dress code and trainers expecting 
everyone to welcome them.  They bring with them Goa’s next export – corruption. 
  The settled Goykars mainly from East Africa have resolved their 
embarrassment, the men now prefer to say that they come from Daman and ladies 
from Dui.
Valentine’s Day signals the end of the chocolate run to Goa which started in 
October.   Special request to the hot loves in Goa, please recall these 
koitoheads and stop the massacre and extermination of our Goan tribe.
Lets all work toward being Proud to be Goan and Viva World Goa Day 2014.

I have been over half my life in the US, but that has only improved
all of the Indian languages I speak and have picked up others. So too
long but sharper while I often hear a schmear of smarm as to the
difficulties of being able to speak in say Konkani. Space and where I
live, has not made me forget where my roots lie, and when you can no
longer call those roots, one roots or lived aesthetics.

The reference to Japan I presume is intended to be tongue-in-cheek.
OK. I am on my own there. But, one grain of info: I am the only one I
know of Indian extraction who has a high rank in Shodo. Just saying
that: this too has not make me forget anything from my years in India.
But this is merely info, and not to get media. Hell no.

Furthermore, I am aware of and engaged with English/British phrases,

My point was for Floriano and for him alone although said on a public
forum; whereby in saying something other voices arise, reveal
something or the other.

One more fun fact: I probably have over 150 dictionaries in various

hold onto the thought:**
What? Man, look how stupid he! Now everything in on the computer and
he is telling us he has all these books!!!
The point of course is otherwise.

abused and manipulated by others; and shared many a thing with some of
the most ruthless people one could know and run with.

Ref: News report appeared in local daily dated 12.2.2014 ( Tuesday), 
Dhavalikar says people play major role in road quality by informing
PWD Dept.

It is very strange that the Minister of PWD Sudin Dhavalikar expecting
people role on role quality by informing the department of PWD after
the road is already completed and the expenditure is meted to the
contractors. Why PWD not competent on supervision the work? The main
point of this question raised by him is whether the PWD will take up
the work badly executed once again and the fresh tenders expecting to
issue?

Has anytime in the history of PWD the work is being stopped once the
complaint is made by public? This announcement is made by Sudin is

[Goanet] GOA CHITRA ORGANIZES A INTERNATIONAL NARRATIVE ART RESIDENCY

2014-02-12 Thread Victor Hugo Gomes
GOA CHITRA ORGANIZES A INTERNATIONAL NARRATIVE
ART RESIDENCY

TO PROMOTE GOAN CULTURE

Dear Members and friends of Goa Chitra,


Greetings from
Goa Chitra,

 

To bring back
the tradition of narrative art and to experiment different approaches to it
such as “art in series”, Goa Chitra ethnographic museum has conceived a 10-day
Narrative art residency project in Goa to supplement the Goa Chitra collections
and research through narrative depiction.

 

Narrative art tells a story of events taking place over time or
implies an association. A narrative, works within a single frame, with no clear
story line, and yet documents an event or era.


Eight women artists of repute from across the globe have voluntarily
come together to support and help sustain the thought process, the mission and
for the further growth of the ideals Goa Chitra stands for through this 
narrative
art residency.


The residency will be held from 12th
Feb to 22nd Feb. 2014, out of which 8 days will be spent in remote
areas of Goa and the last 3 days at Goa Chitra museum where they will work, do
presentations, interact with media other fellow artists and general public. The 
invited artists include Ms. Anna
Orbaczewska- Niedzielska (Poland), Ms. Ekterina Abramova (Russia, Ms. Birgitta
Volz (Germany), Ms. Mekhlla Harrison (Delhi, India), Ms. Anjum Chaturvedi
(Baroda, India), Loretti Joyce Pinto (Goa, India), Ms. Yolanda De Souza
Kammermeier (Goa, India) and
Ms. Nirupa Naik (Goa, India).

 

The artist
will travel with the curator of Goa Chitra Museum Mr. Victor Hugo Gomes, to 
remote
villages of Goa where the origins of the implements on display at Goa Chitra
were collected. They will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the
rural life in Goa and interact with the natives of Goa and make a connection
with the lives of those that once lived and worked with them, creating visuals
that narrate a story from an artist’s perspective by women artists. 

 

The invited artists will stay in different remote parts of south Goa with
Mr.Gomes and create Illustrative and narrative expression through paintings and
drawings using the museum's immense collection of cultural and ethnographic 
display
and site-specific projects that interpret and contribute to the awareness of
the environmental challenges battling mankind in today's era.


The works
created for the workshop will be exhibited for public during the opening of 
“The Dom Martin Art Gallery” at Goa
Chitra at the end of the residency. To signify the relevance of this narrative
art residency, the exhibition will be thrown open to the public on 
“International Women's Day” on 8th
March, 2014 till 22nd march 2014.

 

Thank you for
all the interest and support shown in Goa Chitra and its activities. Kindly 
contact 08322772910, 08326570877 for more details.

 

Warm regards,

Victor Hugo

What has the relic in Coloane near Macau got to do with the Ceylonese claim 
that the  uncorrupted body in Old Goa is that of a Buddhist monk. 

It is irrelevant thinking like this that probably made Salazar say Goa is 
ours when Nehru asked him sometime in the mid-50s, what would be the best 
solution for the future of Goa. 

Salazars meaning was; I see no future for Goa.

Lately some Ceylonese have been spreading some crack news about the patron of 
the Far East. There is relic of the saint in a chapel named after his name in a 
place called Coloane which is an island south of Macau. These Ceylonese making 
up the false stories have forgotten about the relic in Macau.

Press Release

11/2/2014





Families  colleagues of whistleblowers arrested



Today at 4 pm more than 100 relatives and colleagues of whistleblowers were 
arrested from outside the BJP office. The families, along with NCPRI activists, 
were demanding that the BJP clarify its stand on the grievance redress bill and 
whistleblowers protection bill and assure them that the BJP will support the 
bills in Parliament.

The protestors sat outside the BJP office for more than 4 hours demanding that 
the BJP make a statement. No one from the BJP office spoke to the protestors. 
The protestors, mostly women, were arrested by the Police. A meeting of Mr. 
Modi with the BJP MPs was to start at 4:30 pm. The protestors were relatives 
and colleagues of slain whistleblowers Satyendra Dubey, Shimbu Bishnoi, Ram 
Thakur and were peacefully sitting outside the BJP office.

Activists Anjali Bhardwaj, Amrita Johri  Praavita Kashyap of the NCPRI were 
arrested along with the families of whistleblowers. 

The families were also simultaneously protesting outside the Congress office. 
B. K. Hariprasad, MP, addressed the protestors who said that Congress will make 
every effort to push these bills in Parliament. 

Aruna Roy, Nikhil Dey and Shekhar Singh of the NCPRI strongly condemned the 
arrest of the families and activists. They said that people protesting 
peacefully should not have been removed using force. People have been promised 
by all political parties that these 2 critical bills will be passed in the 
ongoing session of Parliament. It is a shame that Parliament is not functioning 
and that people who are demanding answers from political parties are being 
ill-treated. All political parties need to answer why critical bills are being 
made scapegoats in the political stand-off in Parliament.

COMMENT:

I invite Roland Francis to point me to a non-revisionist site which will 
confirm what he has written above.

I ask him: based on what he (Roland) knows about Junagadh, Hyderabad (Deccan) 
and Pondicherry, does Roland believe that: (a) Nehru spoke to Salazar (b)  
those were his words or sentiments?

IF Nehru was such a great proponent of the Right to Freedom of  Self 
Determination, do you believe he would have asked Goans what they wanted?

I see RF comparing Goa 1961 with Goa 2014 - as if to make a point. How about 
comparing Goa 1961 with Ratnagiri 1961? 

A question has to be asked: IF Goa 2014 is as brilliant as RF says it is, what 
is he doing in Canada?

All these leftie 'lip service' experts are just as 'brilliant' as the ones of

[Goanet] ANOTHER F.I.R FILED AT ACB AGAINST GOA SPEAKER RAJENDRA ARLEKAR

2014-02-12 Thread Aires Rodrigues
Another  First Information Report (F.I.R) of disproportionate assets and
cheating has been filed at the Anti- Corruption Branch (ACB) against
Speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly Mr. Rajendra Arlekar.



The F.I.R filed  under Sec 13 (1) (d)  (e) of the Prevention of Corruption
Act 1988 and Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code has demanded that the ACB
carry out a speedy investigation and promptly prosecute Rajendra Arlekar in
accordance with law.



On 9th February 2012 in his affidavit before the Goa's Chief Electoral
officer Rajendra Arlekar had shown his total liabilities by way of loans
etc as Rs 30,54,314 and further liabilities by way of Government dues as Rs
2,64,734 but  his statement of assets and liabilities filed on 31st July
2013 before the Goa Lokayukta does not show any liabilities.



Rajendra Arlekar should explain as to how within a short span of just over
a year after becoming Speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly he was able
to clear his huge liabilities of Rs 30,54,314 and also liabilities by way
of Government dues of Rs 2,64,734.



The F.I.R has sought that the ACB probe whether the contents of the
affidavit of Mr. Rajendra Arlekar filed on 9th March 2012 was false or his
statement dated 31st July 2013 on his Assets and liabilities filed before
the Goa Lokayukta is false.



The attention of the ACB has been drawn to the fact that in his affidavit
dated 9th February 2012,  Rajendra Arlekar had shown his parents Vishwanath
and Tilotoma Arlekar as his dependants though they have for the last many
years been staying separately at Mayem. Rajendra Arlekar has also wrongly
stated that the value of his plush 72 sq mt flat at Mangor hill in Vasco
was a mere Rs 30 lakhs.



Rajendra Arlekar in his affidavit on 9th February 2012 had shown his total
income for the year 2010-2011 as a mere Rs 2,76,671. This  prima facie
reveals that Rajendra Arlekar was concealing the real income being earned
by him from his HP petrol pump dealership Om Shree Vetobaa at Vasco.



The  ACB has been asked to investigate as to how the total income of
Rajendra Arlekar's wife Anagha Deshpande Arlekar who is a school teacher
which was Rs 5,87,186 in 2010-2011 had shot up to Rs 9,32,278 in the year
2012-2013.

2014-02-12 Thread CAJETAN DE


DON’T HAVE…….
 
CHINTUwas a mischievous boy, his Dad fed-up by correcting him on his misdeeds. 
One fine day CHINTU’s DADbought a Robot. The Robot was special in that it could 
detect a lie and would slap on the face of the person who lies.
CHINTUreturned late from school that day and his DAD asked him:-
 
CHINTU’s DAD: Son why are you late from school? 

CHINTU: Dad we had extra classes today.

Much to his astonishment the Robot jumped up and slapped CHINTUon his face.

CHINTU’s DAD: This Robot is special in that he can detect a lie and will then 
slap the person who lied, now come on tell me the truth:
 
CHINTU’s DAD: Why are you late?

CHINTU: Dad I went for a movie.

CHINTU’s DAD: Which movie?

CHINTU: The Ten Commandments.

Splatt... CHINTUgot a tight slap on the face from the Robot.

CHINTU: Sorry Dad, honestly, I went for the movie “Sheela ki Jawani”.

CHINTU’s DAD: Shame on you son, when I was your age I never used to do such 
shameful things.

Splatt….., CHINTU’s DADgets a tight slap on the face from the Robot.

Hearing all this, CHINTU’s MOMcomes walking out of the kitchen saying:
 
CHINTU’s MOM: After all he is your son, he will be like you only.

The Robot steps up and gives a resounding slap on CHINTU’s MOM’s face.

Dear readers, I don’t have to tell you’ll why the Robot slapped CHINTU’s 
MOM.Isn’t it???
