[Goanet-News] Today Goanet passes a remarkable milestone -- it's 20th anniversary!
Herman herminator_...@hotmail.com August 25th, 2014 Dear Goanetters, Today Goanet passes a remarkable milestone -- it's 20th anniversary! Today, we take the internet for granted. We spend so much time on the internet hashtagging memorieson Twitter and Instagram, following our friends on Facebook, searching Google for everything buying stuff, trading emails, and so on. The internet keeps us connected to the rest of the world at all times. But 20 years ago, the internet as we know it was just getting started, and people didn’t really know what to make of it. In those days the internet was not as user friendly. But, a small group of managed to fine each other on Internet Relay Chat and started a mailing list. The first mailing list was really just people sending emails to my inbox prefaced with a *, and I'd forward them on to users who signed up. After a year or so we had our first mailing list program do the work for us. And, here we are today. Goanet has remained a volunteer-driven operation. We've had many volunteers over the last 20 years. A few volunteers need to be singled out. No one has done more work than our very own Frederick Noronha (FN). In addition to moderating the mailing list, FN contributes immensely. Bosco D'Mello is another one of our moderators with 10-15 years of service. Viviana Coelho also contributed 5-10 years of service. These are huge contributions to the community. And, I thank each of them for the time and effort they have given us. I also wish to thank all the other volunteers who have contributed to Goanet. Goanet has brought the international Goan community together. It has been a platform for launching other very successful groups and projects. While Goanet has not lived up to it's full potential it has still had an impact. Folks, please volunteer in whatever capacity you can to help sustain our group. We have an opportunity to make a difference in Goa and to support out international Goan community. You don't have to be tech savvy to volunteer. And, please donate to help sustain our growth. Every little bit counts. I'll end here by congratulating all our members for making this possible.

Re: [Goanet] UK - Goan Cattle Market 2014 (Response to Eugene)
Frederick FN Noronha wrote: This sounds like a class war between the Kenya Goans (or the Diaspora of the 70s) and the rest! All of us would like to shape the Goan community in our own image and likeness. But it's time to acknowledge the diaspora (and community back home) in all its diversity. Times are changing. So are the demographics. If today's Goan migrant to Europe is more comfortable in speaking Konkani (as it seems from the videos), so be it. Can't we accept that? The Goan identity (including the diaspora) cannot be frozen in time. It's a changing and constantly redefined identity. My two paisa worth. Not aiming to offend anyone here... just say what I feel. FN --- FN, Goans in the UK from Kenya are the most successful ones there. In anything, they are to be emulated. Secondly, no one in the west has the time or desire to shape the new arrival. In fact, even when the smarter new arrivals come seeking for leads, s/he is only given guidelines. The immigrant has to shape his own course. Someone sitting in Goa, giving tutelage to Goan imigrants in the UK, is one of the most bizzare notions I have seen. Mervyn

[Goanet] Illegal Project of Water Sports at Aivao Caranzalem is likely to be inaugurated by CM tomorrow?
*Hi Judith/Dr Antonio Mascarenhas* *Just today on 26th August 2014 at 18.00 hrs when I have passed this roadside from D. Paula road, I have seen a temporary Pandal erected for inauguration of a Sports Complex at Aivao-Caranzalem which belongs to NIWS ( National Institute of Water Sports). This was earlier been complained in writing to the Member Secretary of GSZMA by Dr. Joe D'Sousa and myself and we were told that a meeting is likely to take place which never materialized. It is very sad that activists in Goa has no powers to take it up further. This project definitely violates the SEZ rules. Chief Minister of Goa, Mr Manohar Parrikar I was told by persons present over there , that he will inaugurate this Water Sports Complex tomorrow. ( photo of the Pandal can be seen in this site of Water Sports Complex.* *Poor villagers are helpless as they lost a play ground for their children. I expect the local Press in Goa to take it up this job and expose if there is any illegality and violation under SEZ laws. * *Once this project comes up there will be chaos and heavy traffic around this bottleneck at Caranzalem as told to me by the Traffic Police Inspector Mr. Dharmesh Angle some days back. * *Stephen Dias* *D.Paula*

[Goanet] CAG SENDS GOA GOVERNMENT YET ANOTHER REMINDER ON ADVOCATE GENERAL’S FEES
The Goa office of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) has dashed yet another reminder to the Goa Government seeking a very urgent explanation and justification on the high fees being paid to Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni. In this second reminder addressed to the Law Secretary it has been pointed out that though over six months have elapsed the information sought by CAG has not been furnished and that it be furnished very urgently. The Goa Government paid AG Atmaram Nadkarni by way of fees and other allowances a whopping Rs 2,055,9032 (two crores fifty five lakhs nine thousand and thirty two rupees) for the two years from March 2012 to March 2014. The Government also spent a further Rs 10,14,869 (ten lakhs fourteen thousand eight hundred and sixty nine rupees) on the business class airfare for the 17 trips made to Delhi by AG from January 2013 to March 2014. The CAG in a letter to the Goa Government on 23rd January this year had sought from the Goa Government a justification on the high fees being paid to Goa AG. With no reply having been received from the Goa government, CAG on 22nd April once again wrote to the Law Secretary calling for the information urgently. CAG made a comparative study with the states of Haryana, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya and found that the fees being paid to the Goa AG very high. CAG in its comparative chart drew the Government’s attention that while the Goa AG for an appearance before the High Court is paid Rs 10,000 per case, that the AG of Haryana is paid Rs 1000 while the AGs of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya are paid Rs 5000, Rs 3000 and Rs 2500 respectively. The CAG further informed the Goa Government that while the Goa AG is paid Rs 75,000 for appearance before the Supreme Court the Haryana AG gets paid Rs 2000 while the AGs of Manipur and Meghalaya get paid Rs 10,000 with the Arunachal Pradesh AG paid Rs 3500. Goa despite being the smallest state is not only hosting India's highest paid AG but the country's highest paid public servant. President of India is paid Rs 1,50,000 a month, the Chief Justice of India Rs 1,00,000 and a High Court Judge Rs 80,000. But AG of Goa Atmaram Nadkarni is paid up to a whopping eight lakhs a month besides Rs 75,000 on every visit to Delhi which is nothing short of a day light loot and plunder of the State’s exchequer. The Goa Government is duty bound to promptly reply to queries raised by CAG. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar in an attempt to shield AG Atmaram Nadkarni is pressurizing the Law department not to respond to the pointed questions raised by CAG. Shame on you, Mr. CM. Transparency, Good governance and Zero tolerance to corruption is what we were promised.

Sorry there is no slack in my post. In fact I encouraged them to do better by working on the vocals. I hope you and the pyjama clad uric's would encourage the young of Goa.

[Goanet] WILL GOA REACH ON PAR WITH CALIFORNIA BY 2030?
ADVISE FOR DISCIPLINE ON INDIAN ROADS BY POOJARY I WAS STUNT THAT the letters to the Editor column is given a wide publicity to the writer S.N.Poojary in all the newspapers; in Navhind Times, Herald and Gomantak Times in the same topic. The Navhind Times gives a title “Maintaining Discipline on Indian roads, Herald says ‘The Road Outside” and the Gomantak Times says “Discipline on Roads in USA. Mr Poojary forgets that this is India, all these suggestions and advice does not suit our politicians in India as it will never be in par with USA or California or any other developed country. Look at D.Paula - Miramar road and junction at NIO circle, the road is completely damaged because it has been dug up again and again without proper plans, although now the GSIDC is slowly organised. With the monsoon seasons these roads are very badly affected and it is slippery where many accidents have taken place. What I want to say is that we cannot compare with the foreign roads and the people attitude and the laws in force over there. It will take time to reach their level. I remember when I was in Norway and other European countries in 1981, I taught of myself when India or Goa will reach this level? Now we are in the year of 2014 but still nothing even 10% we have reached and may be, we may never reached until 20 years later. Stephen Dias D.Paula Date: 27.8.2014 == A sample from Navhind Times: Maintaining Discipline on Indian Roads Posted by: Navhind Times http://www.navhindtimes.in/author/user/ in Opinion http://www.navhindtimes.in/category/opinion/ For a person who is accustomed to the blooming chaos on the Indian roads, the traffic management in California is elegant and well-organised. The flow of traffic is smooth and the roads are broad. There are different lanes and the road-user is supposed to drive at a specific speed. When a driver has to overtake, he has to change the lane with prior signalling. On the way to San Francisco, there is a toll booth, but no payment is done on the spot; the closed-circuit cameras register the number of your vehicle and the bill is sent to your registered address. There are designated places where pedestrians are allowed to cross the road. A hand signal in red appears at the intersections and if you want to cross the road, you need to press a button. When the button is pressed, music plays; the red hand signal turns white for a few seconds and all traffic stops and you cross the road. There are no traffic police manning the traffic and management is done by the closed-circuit cameras. Nobody breaks traffic rules because there are heavy fines and punishment. There is a board at Santa Clara in California that says that jumping the red light entails a minimum fine of $336 (336 x 61 rupees). A lot of concern is shown towards pedestrians’ safety. The roads are laid in concrete and there are no potholes anywhere. There are clear instructions to the road users, and all major roads have signals to control the flow of traffic. Markings on the roads instruct the motorists where they need to turn; whether to turn to the right or left. The pavements are clean and the space beyond the pavement is landscaped with well-maintained plants and well-laid grass patches. In the big cities like San Francisco, there are huge pay public parking facilities and parking is allowed in the designated spots on the roads with payment through some electronic device. By: S.N.D.

[Goanet] DO WE HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT THE REMOVAL OF JOHN FERNANDES FROM THE GPCC POST IS CORRECT?
Dear Readers in Goa, What kind of Press we have in Goa. The Navhind Times tell us that John Fernandes is removed from the post of President of Goa Congress and at the same time Herald and Gomantak Times publishes that these are the paid news and it made us to believe that it is not correct. Such a confusion in the minds of Goans and spoiling the name of an another journal. In fact they have committed an offense and Navhind Times should take them for task under journalism act. Since I was living close to the house of John Fernandes I happened to go to the garage for repairs of my car which is very close to the John's house, I mentioned to the owner of the garage that the John Fernandes was sacked or removed from the post by Sonia Gandhi and that these news were in accordance of Navhind Times which is a premier newspaper in Goa. I was shocked by hearing next day by GT and Herald that he is not removed and that it was paid news? The garage owner fired me next day, by telling him wrong news at that time. Again I am a bit scared by telling others of today's news again from Navhind Times that John is replaced by Luisinho Faleiro. I am keeping my fingers crossed whether these today's news from Navhind Times are concrete or not? Probably I think that I should wait for an another day to ascertain the facts before telling the public. What kind of disgusting newspapers we have in Goa when we cannot trust such important news? And how many news comes from these local newspapers whether they are genuine or not? The newspapers should restrict printing false news and they should make sure before printing them , otherwise Goans will loose interest reading these papers. These Editors most of the times take politicians for a ride and that the public is been put in confuse minds and we believe whatever they write. I remember that my colleague Dr. Joe D'Sousa once told me never write soon in the papers after reading the news, because they can be wrong sometimes, and wait for few days and then write. I am a quick writer and most of the time I have fallen in trouble and that's why some Editors do not like me. Now, these papers who published false news needs to clarify or else people will loose interest reading these papers. I was put in shame with the garage owner who told me that I am a liar.
