Re: [Goanet] Need Word in Konkani
Dariaveler or dariadeger, (seaside) as mentioned in Gurunath Kelekar's English Konkani dictionary would also do. However in practice most people simply say 'beach'! As in Arre beachir ia re? Borrowing words from other languages is quite a legitimate way to enrich a language. I think that the Brahminical urge to make the language 'pure' will only make the language poor.

Re: [Goanet] Need Word in Konkani
Along with vell' from vello (demarcates boundary between two earth elements: sea and land, earth and sky, ) (FN: “Vel'ler“), we should continue to use praio/praer/praieo too as a loan word. Some do and that is good. Its time to wrap our heads in a better way “Doria-dege” is used by those who tend to explaining an object by putting representative elements. All good and communication continues. Yet, often used by those who would sit at the edge of the water for their annual immersion (feet usually) in sea water.

[Goanet] Article: two Konkani legends proved that music is truly ageless (Brampton, Ontario)
http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=268631#.VDaPwwI26OA.twitter :: Original article includes good photos :: Brampton (Canada), Oct 8: Performing before scores of Konkani music fans at the magnificent Rose Theatre, Brampton recently, two Konkani legends proved that music is truly ageless. And that, despite being septuagenarians, they could leave their fans blown out of their minds! Their scintillating performance had most of the audience dancing in the aisles, and many speechless. Lorna kicked off the show with her spectacular singing. Her voice is as powerful, as it is enticing. Henry’s classical style of singing was as beguiling as his dancing. Lorna set the stage on fire with her powerful renditions, belting out her all-time favourites, holding the audience completely spell-bound, Henry swayed his hips, did some quick costume changes and sang to a crowd that was ready to take a nostalgic trip with him. The three-and-a-half-hour concert got an electrifying start with the Radio Mango Team, comprising Gerry D’Mello, Marshal Fernandes, Nifa Alphonse, Wilson D’Souza and Milena Marques-Zachariah singing the Opening Chorus, set to the Radio Mango signature tune, composed by Lawrence de Tiracol. With Wilson and Milena emceeing the show, every performance and skit followed each other with clockwork precision. The skits by Santhu and Monthu (Santosh D’Souze and Ronnie Monteiro) and Marshal Fernandes, Samson Santimano and Serah Barbosa sent the audience into a tizzy of hilarity and fun. One of the highlights of the evening was the short yet powerful speech delivered by the chief guest of the day – Akhilesh Mishra, Consul General of India. He extolled the virtues of the Konkani language, while praising the unique musical and singing abilities of the Goan and Mangalorean communities. He made a commitment to help these communities realize their potential here in Canada. The Goa Amigos, the band comprising versatile and accomplished musicians, and led by Norman Cardozo for Lorna and Joyson D’Souza for Henry, rocked the stage and the audience. They accompanied the artistes with their noteworthy professionalism and talent. As the evening wound down, people’s enthusiasm climbed up. They wanted more, and Lorna obliged. The audience showed their appreciation by giving the performers a standing ovation. At the magnificent Rose Theatre, that sounded thunderous. Later, the two artistes were mobbed for autographs and CDs. Goans and Mangaloreans went home awe-truck, vowing they had never seen anything like this before. It was, indeed, a fitting tribute to Lorna and Henry – the two legends who came together for the very first time and gave the audience performances that will be talked about for years and generations come. -- Albert Peres afpe...@3129.ca 416.660.0847 cell

On 13th October 2008 while I was relishing the famed Chicken Xacuti at the Ashok Restaurant in Panaji a gruesome attempt was made by an armed gang of seven who had come fully ready to dispatch me to heaven or maybe to hell. It was, however, a very incredible miraculous escape from the jaws of death. My time may have not have been up. Fighting injustice is no easy task. One faces a backlash of crank calls, vicious anonymous letters and more seriously the risk of an attempt on one’s life. Over the last 40 years of fighting against injustice, nobody has been able to intimidate me. I have never been cowed down by any threats of consequences that I have had to face for speaking out fearlessly. Over the years I have never hesitated to take on the powerful and mighty over a wide range of issues. Be it the Governor of Goa on the Right to Information Act or the High Court Judges attending private dinners with Advocates, I have never shied away from pursuing a whole range of issues involving senior politicians to well-connected bureaucrats. Even that October 13th 2008 brutal attempt on my life has not cowed me down. I have had nothing personal against anyone about whom I have raised issues over the years. When highlighting an issue, it is bound to hurt some individuals. Have I hurt one too many? One has to have the spine to speak out against things that are wrong. I will continue to highlight any injustice that I see. Nothing shall deter me and my commitment in this regard. The risk of having one’s fingers chopped is a small price one may have to pay in the bigger battle against corruption and injustice. I am content that over the years I have been able to help a lot of people without being a Panch, Sarpanch, MLA or MP. One does not have to hold any position to serve those seeking justice. In recent years the Right to Information Act has been a big aid and a very handy tool in fighting for what is right and exposing the rampant corruption. Looking back over the last four decades, I do not regret having taken up any issue I did. At times one pays a heavy price in fighting public causes but one needs to maintain the spirit and keep on fighting. Life is a very short voyage, a journey, the end of which we know not. So let’s keep up the big fight.

Re: [Goanet] Need Word in Konkani
Augusto: Borrowing words from other languages is quite a legitimate way to enrich a language. I think that the Brahminical urge to make the language 'pure' will only make the language poor. vjp: I agree with the above. Besides, we missed the boat on that Brahminical urge. I believe that urge, or better yet misplaced urba arose for many disjointed reasons.

Re: [Goanet] Need Word in Konkani
Assuming that Konkani is a dialect of Marathi, SamudraKinare (Sea side) looks like a good translation, IF, on the other hand, Konkani is a living language, then I suggest we use the word used by our mothers jc

[Goanet] PROSPECTS FOR LUXURY RETIREMENT FACILITIES IN INDIA
Greetings To You !!! I am forwarding an email from one of our community member, who is seeking assistance to complete a survey as part of his studies. The survey takes about 15 minutes and you need not give your personal information. You may also forward it to your friends and relatives as it would further assist our member in his studies. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance. God bless and regards, GR CrastoEditorXit-KoddiE-newsletter of Bahrain Goans. - Dear Sir/Madam, We are a group of Manchester Business School MBA students who are conducting a survey on ‘high-end retirement facilities’ in India. As you are aware, the number of people over 60 years of age is set to exponentially rise in India due to a number of factors, such as, better living conditions, health-care facilities, changing food habits, etc. Further, our fast paced lives have led to the emergence of nuclear families with joint families rapidly disintegrating. Our parents and near ones who have retired some years ago are left to fend for themselves. There are also those of us who have spent most of our lives abroad and are planning to retire back in India. The aim of our survey is to enable us to consider whether a ‘high-end retirement facility’ is a need for the retirees and soon to be retirees, examine the trends shaping the retirement landscape and make comparisons with existing retirement facilities in India. We would like your help in conducting an accurate and successful study. Your participation is critical to the success of our study. We ask that you participate by clicking here to complete the survey. The survey is completely anonymous and will take about 15 minutes to complete. Please use the survey navigation buttons only, and not your browser buttons or the enter key, to complete the survey. All responses will be kept in strict confidence. Data from each respondent will be combined with the data from other respondents; no individual data will be used or disclosed. The survey will remain open until 15 November 2014. We thank you for participating in this study and for your help in making it a success. Sincerely, Juweria Mahesh Hashim Lijo Michael
[Goanet] World goes green with bio cremations
From: bcsabha.kal...@gmail.com To: http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31804articlexml=World-goes-green-with-bio-cremations-07102014017023 Oct 07 2014 : The Times of India (Mumbai)World goes green with bio cremationsKounteya SinhaLondonAfter US Canada, Europe Set To Okay Chemical Hydrolysis For Disposal Of BodiesBio cremations — a practice that ensures that the human body is turned into a liquid and not ashes — is all set to be legalized in parts of Europe. At present, the only legal way to cremate the dead in the continent is to exhume the body or bury it.Belgium and the Netherlands are contemplating allowing the mass use of bio cremations which has been legalized recently in the US and Canada. The process is also known as chemical hydrolysis — an environmentally-friendly alternative to present day trend of the disposal of bodies. The technology replaces the use of flame with the utilization of water, blended with an alkali solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH). The process uses 95% water and 5% alkali instead of direct flame and fossil fuels to cremate human remains. The body is placed in a stainless steel cremation chamber where water, an alkali additive, heat and pressure are added. The body is reduced to bone fragments and a sterile solution that is recycled to the earth. The average adult body takes approximately 2-3 hrs to complete a bio-cremation. Upon completion of the cremation cycle, bones are dried and processed to a powdery substance which is then placed in an urn and given back to family. Bio cremation is an environmentally friendly option as it uses less energy and releases less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It also uses eight times less energy than traditional flame based cremation. The practice is being pushed by the Flemish funeral sector in Belgium while the Dutch parliament too is discussing the possibility of making it legal. In 2011, a Florida funeral home became the first in the world to perform a bio cremation and since then, over 3,000 people in the United States have chosen the procedure. The decision will soon be taken by the European Council.
