Re: [Goanet] What does your school PTA say about admitting kids with HIV?

Every child must have a proper physical (followed by regular physicals) before

diseases which might occur because the basic preventive steps were NOT taken 
(if that be the case)?

Doc,
I believe that the primary responsibility of a child's health lies with his/her 
parents or guardians. When the parents/guardians are ignorant, that 
responsibility extends to the village - and then to society at large.

I totally agree with you that every child should be immunized and have the 
proof before s/he applies to any school. Most parents would like reasonable 
assurances that the school authorities are following the rules for the 
prevention of communicable diseases. The crux of the matter in the case above, 
however, is fear. Fear fueled by ignorance.

You can remove fear, as Cecil pointed out, by having a PTA. 

You cannot totally remove the transmission of communicable diseases from any 
school. When someone gets a 'gut feeling' and points a finger at HIV+ 
individuals, they are spreading fear, they are discriminating. Plain and 
simple. 

I know people who have been HIV+ for decades. They do not spread any infectious 
diseases. I also know people who have never had HIV and are dead from diseases 
that are totally preventable.

[Goanet] Recipes for Fish and Prawn Curries

[roland.francis]

Could readers please send me some  tasty but simple recipes for a Goan fish 
curry and prawn curry.

I have researched the net and there are many, but I know I will get better ones 
from Goanet readers. 

The problem in Toronto is this: 
To buy a fish or prawn curry I have to drive 100 kms (to and fro) to Goan 
Mississauga. After that trouble what I'll get is a Mangalorean one. All Goan 
restaurants have failed, the Mangaloreans have succeeded and Goan home based 
caterers need one week's notice for special orders.

There are many Sri Lankan fish and prawn curries in my neck of the woods, they 
are tasty in their own way, but hot as hell and not comparable to the Goan.

I cannot cook but can work to simple recipes which I follow assiduously having 
learnt that if you want the taste, you must copy the paste. The Lady of the 
House can make delicious curries but no one in the house eats Goan curries 
(specially seafood) so she just doesn't make them for me alone and refuses to 
let me in on the recipes.

Ingredients are no problem, but please state quantities and include a simple 
process. Thanks to the Goana and Saldanha brands prepared in Goa, one can get 
packets and bottles of of Goan vinegar, mangosteen (kokum),  rechado, kashmiri 
chillies and what-have-you.

Many thanks to those who reply.

Roland.

[Goanet] Fwd: Memorandum submitted by Goa IT Professionals (GITP) to Goa Government and Goan Political Leadership to promote Goan IT-ITeS Industry

[goa itp]

Dear Editors, Reporters and the Goan media community:

*(160 Goan media email IDs marked in Bcc)*

Warm greetings from GITP!

Goa IT Professionals (GITP) is a registered association of IT professionals
from the Indian and global Information Technology (IT) and IT enabled
Services (ITeS) industry with specific focus on promoting the cause of
IT-ITeS industry in Goa. With our vision of “Goa – The self-sustaining and
eco-friendly IT-ITeS Innovation capital of India by 2024!”, we are ready to
mobilize our 7500+ members to intellectually and physically contribute
towards achieving the same.

Based on the vast experience of our members in the global, Indian and the
nascent Goan IT-ITeS industry we have put together a long list of practical
ideas for accelerating the Goan IT-ITeS industry to new heights and
presented these in a memorandum to the Goa Government and Goan Political
Leadership via email on July 17, 2014. We have also categorically
pinpointed the areas from planning to implementation in which GITP is ready
to actively contribute.


IT-ITeS industry is one of the most Green, Clean and Intellectual
industries in the world ideally suited for the highly creative, passionate,
literate and, environmentally and identity conscious Goans. And also for
Goa given its semi-urban infrastructure across the state with reasonably
stable electric power supply and high-speed broadband network. That covers
all key essentials for the IT-ITeS industry, which will also generate
significant local employment for a wide range of skill sets from highly
technical to semi-technical and service oriented tasks. However the
traditional Indian IT-ITeS model based on large IT Parks for economies of
scale –  which has led to widespread urban unsustainable saturation in some
places – needs significant adaption leveraging latest Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) advancements for long term relevance and
success in a unique place like Goa. All this put together will help reverse
the prevalent brain drain of Goan educated workforce and, with the right
regulations in place, to arrest the influx of undesired workforce into Goa.
The recommendations in our memorandum can help Goa effectively tackle such
chronic issues and preserve the much treasured Goan identity, heritage and
environment.

As a progressive group of passionate Goan professionals with a strong
desire to see our beloved Goa prosper in the right direction we at GITP
continue to work on our Goa IT-ITeS mission while awaiting Goa Government’s
direction on the immediate next steps that we could take together.


We seek whole-hearted support in our earnest endeavor from the Goan media
which has always upheld issues of significance to Goa and Goans. Kindly
give this matter as much publicity as possible in your esteemed daily to
create maximum impact and attention from the Goa Government and Goan
political leadership in view of the Assembly session starting next week. We
look forward to and are grateful for your co-operation and support.

*Highlights on how GITP proposes to collaborate with Goa Government for
IT-ITeS Industry promotion:*
•GITP will help prepare the Goa IT-ITeS Policy with contributions from
global experts in the field

•Partner with Goa government in modelling and implementing a Virtual
SEZ network of inter-connected IT-ITeS MicroSEZs spread across Goan
villages for ultra-light carbon footprint
•Provide inputs to Goa Government on school and college curriculum
revisions for greater focus on latest technological trends, innovation and
entrepreneurship resulting in high-grade industry-ready workforce output
from the Goan educational system

•Provide an online advisory and support forum to the small and medium
Goan IT-ITeS companies
•Mentor and actively promote local Goan IT-ITeS startups and
entrepreneurs within our GITP network to enhance their visibility and help
expand their businesses
•Partner with Goa government on e-Governance solutions for Goa
•Help Goa government collate information about Goans in the Indian and
global IT-ITeS industry with the objective of facilitating reverse brain
drain into Goa
•Physically contribute through active on-the-ground participation in
Goa government’s efforts to spread IT-ITeS awareness in all strata’s of
Goan society to minimize ill-informed opposition to the proposed
large-scale IT-ITeS in Goa.

[Goanet] Recipes for Fish and Prawn Curries

[augusto pinto]

Dear Roland
the staple qua non of all these books (Can I get a place in the Oxford
English Dick for staple qua non :) I own at least a dozen such books. Just
ask someone coming to Goa to carry a dozen or so back with them for you.

If you diligently follow these recipes which give quantities and process
and pictures or / and experiment a little with the basic recipe, after a
while you will surely hit at your own gourmet Goan fish / prawn curry.

Call it Goan Fish / Prawn Curry a la Roland to get that extra special taste
and serve it with lots of tomato ketchup.

Hope you get it right.

Best,
Augusto

[Goanet] Recipes for Fish and Prawn Curries (Response to Roland Francis from Rose Fernandes)

[Melvyn Fernandes]

 Dear Roland,
I normally make my prawn curry with okra (ladies fingers).   You can also make 
it with brinjal (aubergine).
Okra, about one packet.   Wash and cut your okra into three quarter inch pieces 
and put in a pan, mix with very little salt and keep aside to cook later.  (if 
using aubergine, depending on size, half will suffice).
If using fresh prawns, clean and cut and mix with very little salt and put 
aside.   If using frozen prawns put a little luke warm water over them to 
defrost slightly and omit the salt.
Next fry up (with a little olive oil) very finely chopped onions (1 medium 
sized onion), next put in three cloves of garlic and about an inch of ginger 
(all finely chopped). 
Next ingredient will be very finely chopped up tomato (one medium sized one).   
You can then put in a little tomato puree if you wish.
Next I put in fresh shredded coconut (the best), or creamed coconut or 
dessicated coconut.   The amount should be what you like but I normally put in 
about a table spoon.   In Goa they put in a lot more but I tend to watch our 
coconut intake in our house.
Next you put in, if you have Goana spices, either use the one for prawn caldeen 
or prawn curry about two teaspoons.  You also need to add a quarter teaspoon of 
black pepper  and half level teaspoon of turmeric .  Then add tamarind, either 
soak tamarind in hot water, strain the water and add or put in tamarind paste a 
level teaspoon and dried mango slices.  I usually add a slash of Goan vinegar 
or malt vinegar, about one tablespoon.   You can also add a green chilli if you 
wish if you require the curry to be hot.
Cook your mixture for about ten or fifteen minutes with water about three 
quarters cup on low heat.   Check the water levels, you do not want your curry 
with too much liquid.
Then add okra (and more water if needed) and cook for about ten to fifteen 
minutes, with the lid of the pan on.
Finally add in the prawns and cook for about ten minutes.
If you really want it the Goan way, apart from the okra, mango slices and green 
chillis, sling all the ingredients into a liquidiser and liquidise it then cook 
the curry for ten minutes adding the mango slices, green chillis.   Add the 
okra and lastly the prawns as given above.
Remember prawns do not take very long to cook so should be added last.
I normally add a bit of fresh coriander at the end but this is optional.
Make sure you use your salt sparingly or wash it off the prawns and okra, as 
you will be using tamarind and vinegar.   You can always add salt to a dish 
later if needed.
I find this curry normally tastes better the following day.
Hope I have not left any ingredients out (goanet readers please advise) and you 
are able to cook and enjoy the dish.  

The secret is to get the curry base to the right taste and texture (that suits 
your taste I mean) and then put in your main ingredients (okra or aubergine, 
later on prawns) and cook on low heat, keeping an eye on the liquid.

Best regards.

The problem in Toronto is this: 
To buy a fish or prawn curry I have to drive 100 kms (to and fro) to Goan 
Mississauga. After that trouble what I'll get is a Mangalorean one. All Goan 
restaurants have failed, the Mangaloreans have succeeded and Goan home based 
caterers need one week's notice for special orders.

I cannot cook but can work to simple recipes which I follow assiduously having 
learnt that if you want the taste, you must copy the paste. The Lady of the 
House can make delicious curries but no one in the house eats Goan curries 
(specially seafood) so she just doesn't make them for me alone and refuses to 
let me in on the recipes.

Roland,
1) I do not think there is a problem in Toronto as are there are several 
caterers who will deliver Goan pork and seafood dishes to your doorstep on the 
weekends. Others deliver Goan sausages and pickles to your doorstep any day of 
the week. 

2) It is kind of sad that you cannot get the boss to share your favourite 
recipes. Out of the kindness of my heart, here is a prawn curry recipe from the 
old country.

Mervyn's Happy Call Prawn Recipe
Ingredients
•12 ml recoiling coconut tree oil
•11 finely chopped leeks
•10 jackginger flakes 
•6 Selander leaves, bowl shaped
•6 pinches of firm ground turmeric

•6 rounded, Canadian tiger prawns

Requirements:
2 jocose eyes, 4 crazy arms, 1 silver-lined recessing bowl, 1 deep pan. Heat.

Method:
Select the prawns as you select mackerel, using only those brought to the door 
with a silvery appearance. Avoid those with a golden tint. Look straight into 
the eye of the tiger pawn, behead it with a quick twist also removing the guts 
in that one motion. Salt the openings and nonchalantly set aside. 

Stir the ingredients till the concoction sputters. Discretely add confectionery 
sugar for thickening. Drop the tiger prawns into the pan, stirring gently, till 
tender. If the prawn lies flat on the pan, it becomes burnt and useless. Flip 
over steadily, using cheerfulness. Wait till desired colour and texture. 

Bon appetite and call me over if it agrees with your palate.

Re: [Goanet] What does your school PTA say about admitting kids with HIV?

On 17 July 2014 19:58, Mervyn Lobo wrote (ML); my response (jc):


ML (1): I believe that the primary responsibility of a child's health lies
with his/her parents or guardians. When the parents/guardians are ignorant,
that responsibility extends to the village - and then to society at large.

appropriately tested and treated? I wonder why you chose to call the
'parents/guardians' ignorant. What IF they are actually quite aware of HOW
the 'system' works, and have NOT YET seen evidence that the orphans are
cleared for school (say) as they would be in the UK or Canada or should be
in India?

ML (2): You can remove fear, as Cecil pointed out, by having a PTA

jc (2) :  I will just leave that opinion out in the corner - for the time
being. Some time soon, someone will explain HOW merely having a PTA can
remove fear.

ML (3) .I know people who have been HIV+ for decades. They do not spread
any infectious diseases.

[C] Were THESE HIV+ ORPHANS managed according to the same regimen THOSE

Doc,

The responsibility for orphans lies on my shoulders. And yours. It would be a 
cruel place where people care less for the weakest members of society.

Doc, the short answer is that HIV+ people are monitored much more closely than 
those without HIV. The reason, I am told, is that HIV+ people are much more 
susceptible to diseases. TB being the leading cause of death for them. Again, 
since HIV+ kids are monitored much more closely, I feel those with TB will be 
identified much more faster than kids who are not HIV+. In other words, there 
is a greater danger of finding a "TB Mary" in the non-HIV population than in 
the HIV+ population.
