[Goanet] Believe it or not (Reena Martins, The Telegraph)
Believe it or not Reena Martins looks at what the Constitution says on choosing your religion and the the law on religious conversions Reena Martins reenamart...@hotmail.com PHOTO: IN THE NAME OF GOD: Muslims in Agra who were allegedly forced to convert to Hinduism St. Stephen;s College is usually in the news for academic feats. These days, however, it is hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Earlier this week, a college employee accused the principal of trying to convert him from Hinduism to Christianity. The principal has denied the accusation. An incident like this would not have made it to the newspapers in normal times. But it comes in the wake of several other controversies relating to religious conversions. Last week, Parliament came to a halt when news broke about a group of Muslims who had been reconverted to Hinduism in Agra. Ghar wapsi -- homecoming -- is the new mantra of groups that are connected with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The campaign seeks to reconvert Hindus who have embraced other religions. Conversion, as defined by anti-conversion laws in the states, means renouncing one religion for another. The problem is with forced conversion. The force can take varied forms -- a show of force or a threat of injury, threat of divine displeasure or social excommunication; fraud (misrepresentation or any other fraudulent contrivance); or inducement (offering any gift or gratification, either in cash or kind or the granting of any benefit, either pecuniary or otherwise). Forced conversions is a cognisable offence under Sections 295A and 298 of the Indian Penal Code and can lead to a prison term of up to three years and a fine. The problem is that religious conversion may have little to do with religion. Often, it is the path taken by those seeking to marry without a divorce. In 1995, the Supreme Court had in a case held that conversion to Islam was not valid if done for bigamy, which is a punishable act. Religious groups are also known to target and convert vulnerable people -- the poor, Dalits and tribals, for instance -- with lures of money or ration cards. It is ostensibly to check this that anti-conversion laws have been enacted in Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Arunachal Pradesh, too, has an anti-conversion law on its books, but since the rules for the act haven't been framed, it remains a dead letter. The Rajasthan Assembly has already passed an anti-conversion bill that awaits the President's assent to be made into law. Ironically, the Constitution gives you the freedom of choosing your religion. Article 25 of the Constitution guarantees the right to freely profess, practise and propagate -- transmit or spread one's religion by bearing witness through its tenets -- but not at the cost of morality, health and public order. The debate is an old one. In 1954, Parliament took up for consideration the Indian Conversion (Regulation and Registration) Bill. In 1960, the Backward Communities (Religious Protection) Bill, 1960, was drafted to stop conversion. Neither was enacted. The state laws have also faced roadblocks. When the laws were first enforced in Odisha and Madhya Pradesh, they were challenged in the courts. When the constitutional validity of Madhya Pradesh's Dharma Swatantrya Adhiniyam, 1968, was challenged in the state's high court, it was upheld. The Orissa High Court, however, ruled that the state had no power to enact the Orissa Freedom of Religion Act, 1967, as the Constitution guaranteed propagation of religion and that conversion was a part of Christianity. Matters eventually reached the Supreme Court in 1977, where in the Stanislaus vs State of Madhya Pradesh case the court held that conversion of another person was not a fundamental right under Article 25 and could be regulated by the state. What is freedom for one is freedom for the other, in equal measure, and there can therefore be no such thing as a fundamental right to convert any person to one's own religion, the court concluded. A major problem with anti-conversion laws is the process that subjects have to follow when they seek to change their religion. A fortnight before a conversion ceremony they have to declare before a magistrate that they are converting of their own accord and furnish details about their address and family members. The officiating priest, too, has to convey information about the date, time and venue of the conversion ceremony to the magistrate, who will then pass it to the superintendent of police to enquire if the conversion is a forced one. When the Constitution has guaranteed me the freedom of religion, why should the State be concerned? asks Justice B.N. Srikrishna, retired

[Goanet] [Goanet} : OVERCHARGING PATIENTS
Dear Jerry Thank you for your mail. I am surprised that in Bombay the consultation fees are Rs.50/ or say even Rs. 100/- and in Goa is more than Rs. 200/- I am happy that you at least understood our fate of Ponjekars and Goenkars. This trend of overcharging patients in private Hospitals especially in Panjim is going on quite long time, and there is no one who can question them. Most of the private Hospitals and clinics in Goa, are greedy for money. They not only charge you like anything ( consultation fees, rooms rent etc), but they also direct them to certain labs of their choice, for pathology tests and .X'Ray, MRI, CT Scan etc, except GMC, and the patients does these investigations. Also the medicines are been prescribed from same manufacturers/suppliers of their choice and also from the same pharmacies.This is a day light robbery in Goa . I am sure they have their own share or commission from these labs and pharmacies. I am not exaggerating but it is a fact. It is difficult to catch them. Stephen Dias D.Paula Quote: Message: 2 Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2014 16:58:56 +0300 From: Jerry Fernandes jerryn...@gmail.com To: goa...@goanet.org Subject: [Goanet] Subject: OVERCHARGING PATIENTS Message-ID: cab2cpgmyfwbae1astahjhhowc6vp9rpi_hlj6nhv-_dlzyb...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Regarding the subject of overcharging patients, its become a common norm that doctors charge nothing less than 200 - 300 in Goa with no receipts. Even the follow up visit is charged, which should be free to see the progress of the medicines prescribed. But who to complaint these matters? I had been in Mumbai for few days and happened to visit three doctors there, and I was zapped beyond words, when the charges were Rs 50 and less by all these three doctors. It made me wonder if I was really with some doctors in Mumbai. This was all at Mira Road in Mumbai. Jerry Fernandes Subject: [Goanet] OVERCHARGING PATIENTS Message-ID: can1gce3er-cchjx7tw_hhvmisg9qc57qctax80ela__ubty...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 OPEN LETTER TO DR. FRANCISCO COLACO Sub : This has reference to the letter dt. 18th Dec, 2014, by Dr. Francisco Colaco in one the section of Press on 'OVERCHARGING PATIENTS You are not the only person who have come across to such disparities on overcharging fees by a private Hospital at North Goa, but I still remember that a friend of mine Adv. Rui Ferreira telling me that he too had met a similar treatment in one of the private Hospital at Campal -Panjim for overcharging fees to his relative for a minor sickness. Many such cases are found in Goa with such atrocities on overcharging fees by private Hospitals. It has become a trend by most of the doctors charging consultation fees of not less than Rs. 200/- per patient but in case he comes to know that the patient is rich or coming from abroad (Dubai), the charges shoots up further. Also the next consultation for the same illness the fees are being charged. Even they are been charged for any investigation report is shown in the next day. What a common man will do if such offences are continuing by these private doctors in Goa? Where is the Medical Council or any Govt Medical Authority or in that respect the Minister of Health is looking for? There is no control, and still worst that we have crack doctors mushrooming in Goa, with no permission from Medical Council but having clinics all around the city who get quite number of patients because their consultation fees are much less than a qualified doctor. Will the Health Minister of Goa, Adv. Francisco D'Sousa will be able to understand such disparities where the patients are been put in heavy financial loss? Thank God that the GMC Hospital at Bambolim, is much better now, but there is still a scope to further improve. We also noticed that there is a pilferage on medicines and treatment on surgeries above the limits of a common mam as the Govt exchequer is being affected. It is high time that present Health Minister regulates all these atrocities and put an end all these illegalities going on in the state of Goa which includes private consultation by the Govt doctors.

Seven minutes before the breather, Salgaocar found the break through when a cross was swung in from the left side, which Daryl Duffy connected to at the back post with a bullet header to give his side the lead. After resumption, Sporting Goa was a revitalized team. It took only three minutes to draw level when Kofi Dankwae rose highest to nod home Cajetan Fernandes’ corner to score on his debut. Ten minutes from time Sporting Goa found the winner when substitute Victorino Fernandes volleyed a Beevan D’Mello corner into the back of the net.

From: roger dsouza rdsg2...@gmail.com Date: Thu, Dec 18, 2014 at 4:26 AM Subject: Goa's fight for independence from Portugal - BBC interview with Libia Lobo Sardesai To: Goa's fight for independence from Portugal 16 December 2014 For just over 14 years, Goa remained under Portuguese rule despite the rest of India having won independence from the British in 1947. Despite a long political campaign for freedom, Goa was only set free when the Indian army marched across the border into the western territory in December 1961. Libia Lobo Sardesai, who ran the Voice of Freedom radio station in Goa, was part of the political struggle to win independence. She tells Witness of the last days of Portuguese rule and the intoxicating feeling of winning freedom at last. Please click on the link below.

Re: [Goanet] Fwd: ANALYSIS BY STEPHEN DIAS
Dear Stephen, You may be right in some of your Analysis of this ISL Football league but my analysis differ especially in the last 2 semi-finals between Atletico de Kolkata and Goa FC and this is what i can conclude below. Watching the second live ISL football or is it ISL Footfall? between ATK and Goa FC; the following is what I want to summarize and convey to one and all.. IN THE FIRST PLACE WATCHING THIS PARTICULAR GAME ON TV BETWEEN GOA FC AND ATLETICO DE KOLKATTA WAS A DRAB AND A BORE AFFAIR. THIS GAME WAS ONE GAME THAT WAS SURELY MATCH FIXED BY THE SO CALLED KOLKATTA FOOTBALL MAFIA AND ITS COHORTS. I WONDER HOW MUCH THEY PAID ANDRE SANTOS TO SHOOT THE BALL OVER THE GOAL POST RATHER INSIDE??? BOTH COMBINED i.e. ZICO UNDER THE TABLE. KOLKATTA IS NOTORIOUS FOR MATCH FIXING AS THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR REPUTATION IN FOOTBALL INTACT AND FLYING HIGH, BUT THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT WITHOUT ANY MERITS OF THEIR OWN AND RATHER GET IT DONE BY SOMEONE ELSE, WHICH COULD, BY ALL MEANS BE POSSIBLE WITH THE HELP OF ITS ORGANIZERS, THE MAFIA AND PATRONIZERS TO TOW INLINE AND LINE THEIR POCKETS AS WELL AS ALL SUNDRY INVOLVED. TODAY SPORT HAS BECOME TOTALLY COMMERCIALIZED RATHER A TREAT TO WATCH; AS A SPORT FOR SPORT LOVERS. HUGE HEAPS OF MONEY IS PILED BY THESE SO CALLED SPORT ORGANIZERS WHERE THEY KNOW LITTLE OF THE GAME AND SELDOM HAVE ANY IDEAS RELATING TO THE GAME OF THE FINER RUDIMENTS OF THE GAME? THEIR MAIN CONCERN IS TO KEEP THEIR REPUTATION FLYING HIGH AND ALSO MAKE A FAST BUCK IN THE QUICKEST TIME POSSIBLE. IT IS SHAME TO ISL FOOTBALL LEAGUE ORGANIZERS THOUGH NO ONE CAN BELIEVE OR DETECT THE MICRO NUANCES AS TO HOW THESE SO CALLED MONEY BARONS PLAN TO EXECUTE UNDERHAND DEALINGS; IS LIKE A SHARP EDGE SWORD NOT KNOWING WHETHER THE THROW IS SLIT OR IS IT STILL INTACT? BY CONTRAST GOA FC TEAM WAS A FAR SUPERIOR AND BETTER TEAM THAN ATK AND THE REST AND THEY RIGHTLY DESERVE FULL PRAISES SPECIALLY AFTER THEIR RESURRECTION FROM DOWN AND UP AND ALSO UNTIL THE 2 SEMI-FINALS CLASH WITH ATK…SOME CAN VERY WELL SEE HOW OUR PLAYERS PERFORMED IN BOTH THE SEMI FINALS, WAS IT NOT A REPEAT OF THE FIRST? ALL PRAISE TO ROMEO AND MANDAR FOR THEIR PAR EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AND THEY BLENDED WELL WITH TEAM OF FC GOA. THEY TRULY DESERVE A COMMENDABLE APPRECIATION AND AN AWARD TOO. AS FOR SANTOS I HAD A VERY BIG OPINION OF THIS PLAYER OF WHOM I CAN SAY WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST IN THIS ISL FIRST SEASON BUT THAT WAS NOT BE IN CONCLUDING OF MY FINAL OPINION OF HIM, ANYWAY I LEAVE THIS TO OTHERS TO SUM IT UP. BUT OF THE BENGALI PLAYERS; TODAY THERE ARE NO GOOD BENGALI FOOTBALL PLAYERS AND SO THEY RECRUIT PLAYERS FROM OTHER STATES MORE SO FROM GOA AS WELL AS FOREIGN PLAYERS OF WHO MOST ARE FROM NIGERIA (AFRICA) AND OTHER PARTS JUST TO KEEP THEIR FLAG FLYING HIGH IN FOOTBALL AND NOTHING ELSE. THEY RECRUIT GOAN FOOTBALL PLAYERS BY PAYING THEM BIG AMOUNTS SO AS TO SUBDUE THE GOAN TEAMS AND TAKE THE CREAM OUT OF THEM BUT WHAT GOOD HAS IT COME TO THE GOAN PLAYERS AS THEY ARE EITHER MADE TO SIT AND WARM UP THE BENCHES OR OVERFED TO MAKE THEM LAZY AND PERFORMANCE LESS SO IN OTHER WORDS THE GOAN PLAYERS ARE NOT ABLE TO SHINE AND PERFORM TO THE HILT AND THUS EVERYTHING IS LOST TO THE WIND TO MAR THE GOAN FOOTBALL REPUTATION AT LARGE. TO KEEP ON EYE ON THESE UNDERHAND DEALINGS ESPECIALLY THE MAFIA CLAN OF KOLKATTA FOOTBALL CLUBS, A THIRD EYE MUST BE KEPT SO AS TO MONITOR THE NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE IN FOOTBALL GAME IN INDIA. ONLY THEN TRUE JUSTICE CAN BE DONE TO THE FOOTBALL SPORT WHERE IT DESERVES RIGHT PLACE AND TO THE RIGHT PLAYERS AND THE TEAM IN RIGHT SPIRIT OF THE WORD CAMARADERIE AND WIN TRUE ACCOLADE FROM THE PEOPLE OF FOOTBALL LOVING GAME. I THINK THIS FIRST ISL LEAGUE COULD BE A HOG WASH JUST TO LINE THE POCKETS OF THE ORGANIZERS, MAFIA AND PATRONIZERS RATHER THAN CREATE GOOD INDIAN PLAYERS FROM THESE GAMES AND FINALLY IT ALL ENDS UP TO A FAIR AND SQUARE PLAY IN THE TRUE SPIRIT OF THE SPORTING TOO... SHAME ON ATK MAFIA FOOTBALL AND ITS COHORTS. NO PRAISES TO THEM WHATSOEVER.

In fact there was an error on the part of our coach Zico which he should have taken steps much early. Analysis and points noticed by me; 1) Andre Santos who played badly except a few shots OFF the target. He was found tired throughout the game and his speed was much inferior than of any player of opponent defence. 2) Tolgey Ozbey substituting a better player Slepika was a wrong choice and decision. PENALTIES DRAWBACK 1) Andre Santos cannot shoot the ball at ground level.( In Portuguese we call it RASTEIRA ). 2) Most of the players were not well trained to shoot the ball at ground level. 3) Goal keeper who was tall and cannot manage to

Dear Mr. Aires Rodrigues, You are absolutely right as per your per se that GOA IS YET TO BE LIBERATED we are not only prisoners of our own doing but also in a bondage.. I doubt if we will ever be FREE FROM ALL EVIL NEXUS PERVADING IN GOA with the Blessings and help of the incumbent Goa Government and the Center at large? You see this evil of all sorts prevailing in Goa is a well sort out and disguised plan by the Government at the Center who are slowly and surely trying to destroy Goa and make even with rest of the Hindu Brigades; and who knows if it is hand in gloves with RSS sanctimony. Presently this clan is biased and prejudiced to the Christians Good Governance and of it's people because the others cannot be towed in line and so they lose their morality and face value? So in order to over come this handicapped bag of theirs, they want the Goans and Goa to be straighten with others on par like rest of the other Indian states, for e.g. like Maharashtra state's Chalte hai Attitude since Goa is now the epitome of development of many parts, they don't want to give any credit to Goa and its people, since it was foreign ruled but now let's make a Desi rule is the cry of the hour at the center.

[Goanet] CCP COMMISSIONER AND MAYOR BECOMES A VEHICLE FOR CHANGE
CCP SLAMPS DOOR ON 330 STRIKING WORKERS BY STEPHEN DIAS,D.PAULA Questions: 1) Why a peaceful assembly by workers is denied by the police at Azad Maidan? Is this not a democracy? 2) Why other gatherings or any functions of political or private are allowed at Azad Maidan in that case? 3) Union Leader Ajit Singh Rane has full right to give support to any workers who are peacefully asking for their demands? 4) Why the workers need to be sacked? Who will give them food for these daily wages contract employees? CCP has made arrangements to lift the garbage accumulated in the city and it is appreciated, but not necessarily that these workers to be sacked. Find out some other solution. 5) With new workers on the job, is there any guarantee that the garbage will be lifted at 100 % as CCP has no road map of housing where the agitated workers were lifting door to door garbage? That means some of the houses may not be lifted garbage at all. Again the worst condition may arise and every time CCP will take drastic action to sack them and get another set of workers? 6) CCP says that they will provide diesel, petrol, drivers, trucks etc for these new contingent of workers and if this misfires on corruption charges etc how this will be tolerated? 7) CCP should prepare at least a future road map so that some house garbage are not left out. 8) This new approach by CCP will not be helpful in a long run and will certainly misfire the plans. What will these agitate workers will do now? Who will feed them at home? Will Govt make an special scheme for them like what Parrikar did for women Ladhi scheme and many other schemes at the cost of exchequer? 9) Panjimites are happy that at least Mayor and Commissioner have made a peace among themselves, one belonging for Congress and another for BJP, so that many incomplete projects will start going through especially the sewage, parking and bad roads in the city.

Nicely put up the whole matter in your mail to me, and I hope others also understand what you said. As for me I am eager to see Goa is best in all respects especially the poor people. I may not live longer in this world but whatever GOD gives and given me I must make best use of it so that crooks, corrupt and Goans with crab mentality goes down the gutter. There is no point finding our own faults for ulterior motives or getting pride. Hope you will also excuse my English writing as my basic studies were in Portuguese..

People see things in many ways, much like there are ways of seeing. Last night a friend from India called to talk specifically on the urge of those (who cannot but continue to benumb our senses) we know who are way beyond par at being rational, and who feel their analytical chops can seeing, of, and through any idea, issue, notion, event, phenomena, ani Deu zana, kitem tem. All one can do (and I said something on these lines in the past), is to get better, and not take umbrage. I too am very analytical and can ramp up at any moment but prefer to step back and listen. But that has taken a lot of training on my part, and is a choice. And, I am proud being perhaps one of the few among the visually inclined to get down on issues and have my small say. What I try is to make analogies and hope that they trigger something in other minds. I know they do since I observe movements, decisions in however small and insignificant areas. I do not feel that Jose has anything against you. My scant observation suggests that he sees himself as someone who prides his analytical and reasoning ability. The choice of what topics to engage in are his and his alone. I for sure to my regret was never mentored, and this is exactly what I attempted to teach my own but failed/as rejected. Use these thoughts to draw other plausible parallels. The points I appreciated from Jose are the ones copied below. Having said that, I have never been in doubt that many things said (with the best, and even the most catholic, and egalitarian of intents) are easier said than done. 1: Private medical care is expensive 2: Private hospital care is even more expensive 3: It is incumbent upon the patient to check the costs before he/she checks into a hospital 4: Do NOT use hospitals for minor illnesses - unless you can afford the costs. Remember, it is NOT the duration of time one spends in the hospital BUT what has to be done and is done while one is there. 5: Please ask the genius who moved the hospital from Panjim to Bambolim: HELLO where is the hospital for the capital city? Hang in. One thing I will say is that being earnest eventually slows us. That temperament can only ensnare the individual to the wiles and baser natures of any given pursuer, often under the guise of knowledge. When I was younger, I often looked at any, ANY issue from a many, many angles to the point that I was seen as weird, but strangely still respected (as I have recently learned). Often a though triggers umpteen ideas in another mind. Eventually ones learns to tame it or become a hunter. No one can control that, perhaps Vipassana?!

Medical care in private Hospitals is gone beyond the limits as far as costs, room charges and medical treatment is concerned but could be normal for them. Jose's comments are unfortunate and discouraging although some of his points may be correct but let me answer them: 1) Crack doctors are definitely existing in Goa especially in Panjim. If Jose does not understand of meaning of CRACK than he should ask his friends. 2) Minor illness for a non medical patient is not understood but when these patients are well off they decide for a private Hospital rather than Govt Hospital, that is a human tendency, but when the procedure or treatment starts one fail to understand whether this illness was
[Goanet] Grants to 500 Goans to attend Sri Lanka canonisation ceremony
Grants to 500 Goans to attend Sri Lanka canonisation ceremony IANS | Panaji December 19, 2014 Last Updated at 21:42 IST Five hundred Goans will be granted financial assistance of Rs.12,000 each for a trip to Sri Lanka for the canonization ceremony of Blessed Joseph Vaz early next year, Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar said Friday. Parsekar was speaking during a ceremony held on the state's 54th Liberation Day here. The ceremony marked Goa's liberation from 451 years of Portuguese rule. The government will provide financial assistance of Rs.12,000 each for 500 devotees as grants to use as air fare to visit Sri Lanka for the canonization celebrations of Blessed Joseph Vaz which are scheduled in second week of January 2015, Parsekar. Vaz was born in Goa April 21, 1651, at a time when the Portuguese were already entrenched in the state for nearly 150 years. In 1686, Vaz left for Sri Lanka to propagate Catholicism in the Dutch-held nation, where Calvinism, a major Protestant branch, had begun taking root. His socio-religious contributions in the island country earned him accolades and the title Blessed subsequently. In January, he will be canonized in the presence of Pope Francis. __._,_.___ Posted by: gerardl...@gmail.com Reply via web post • Reply to sender • Reply to group • Start a New Topic • Messages in this topic (1) Visit Goans In the Netherlands: http://www.g-i-n.nl Visit Your Group • Privacy • Unsubscribe • Terms of Use . __,_._,___

[Goanet] Bus stands in Bicholim, Sattari ‘function’ only on paper
-- Samir Umarye By SAMIR UMARYE BICHOLIM While two bus stands in Bicholim taluka lack basic facilities and have been largely ignored by authorities, the two bus stands in Sattari taluka have all facilities, but are yet to be fully utilised for different reasons altogether On paper, there are four major bus stands in Bicholim and Sattari talukas but all four of them have largely been ineffective due to one reason or the other. While two bus stands in Bicholim taluka lack basic facilities and have been largely ignored by authorities, the two bus stands in Sattari taluka have all facilities, but are yet to be fully utilised for different reasons altogether. “No doubt, we have two bus stands in Bicholim and Sattari talukas, but all of them have been ignored by authorities. There is a lot that could be done with regards to the Bicholim bus stand, but nothing has materialized even though the matter has been highlighted again and again,” remarked Aashish Narvekar told Herald. A commuter or visitor to the Bicholim bus stand will either be confronted by stray cattle at the entrance or by potholes, which are now filled with uneven stones. The situation inside the bus stand is no better. The sign boards displaying the village destinations have been destroyed long ago, while some shopkeepers have freely extended their material outside their premises. There is no proper parking facility and several two-wheelers are parked along every corner of the bus stand, including no-parking zones. “A waiting/first aid room, safe drinking water and proper toilet facility should have been a bare requirement at this bus stop. Passengers from various places, including Panjim, Valpoi, Ponda, Marcels and elsewhere come to this bus stand,” Narvekar added. Another resident, Sattayawan Harmalkar, felt that the Bicholim bus stand was not properly utilized. “Recently, the bus stand was renovated. But if the RTO and other government offices were allotted space on the first floor of the bus stand, it would have been of great help to those visiting Bicholim. In addition, the top floor could also be developed into a shopping complex by the KTC,” said Harmalkar. If Bicholim bus stand has lost its charm, the situation at the Sanquelim bus stand is equally dismal. The Sanquelim bus stand is plagued with similar problems and passengers have to face hardships, especially during the rainy season. Some of the benches have been damaged in the bus stand. “We need the Sanquelim bus stand to be fully functional on a priority basis, as people are facing problems in the absence of proper seating and toilet facilities. So many good projects were provided by the Congress to Sanquelim. The BJP should, at least, bring a good project to Sanquelim,” said Sunita Verekar of Sanquelim and general secretary of Goa Pradesh Congress Committee. While the two bus stands in Bicholim taluka lack necessary infrastructure, the bus stands at Sattari have all the requisite facilities, but are yet to be put to proper use. The Honda bus stand was inaugurated in October 2009, while the Velus-Valpoi bus stand was inaugurated in February 2014. The Honda bus stand has 21 shops, a waiting lounge, a reservation ticket counter for the KTC, toilet facility and parking slots. But all these facilities are lying vacant. The Valpoi bus stand had even won the Best Architectural Design in the Recreational Design category at the prestigious Architectural and Design Awards 2013, instituted by Architecture + Design magazine. Despite the facilities, both bus stands still remain unused. “We believe that there are some technical problems with regards to the Valpoi bus stand, while the Honda bus stand is deserted by public as it is far away from the main market,” remarked a resident from Valpoi. When contacted the BJP state secretary, Shilpa Naik, insisted that the State government is committed to the development of Bicholim. “Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has adopted Bicholim and he will see to it that development is carried out in Bicholim. We also want that all the work is carried out in a phased manner,” Naik said. Attempts to contact Sanquelim MLA Dr Pramod Sawant proved futile as his phone was out of coverage on Sunday morning.

[Goanet] CASINOS IN GOA ARE ABOVE THE LAW
No vehicles are allowed to park along Panaji’s Dayanand Bandodkar Marg. The traffic police penalize the violators with a fine of Rs 100. The only high-handed exception is for the Casinos who have been flouting this no parking rule with impunity. The traffic police have unofficial orders to turn a Nelson’s eye at the Casinos vehicles which park in the No parking zone. While as the Leader of the Opposition Manohar Parrikar had consistently and vehemently opposed Casinos while branding them as a ‘social evil’ and had vowed to throw them out if he came to power. Manohar Parrikar had branded Casinos as dens of vice” and had even led an agitation to demand their closure. But in a anticipated U turn after coming to power on March 9th 2012 he allowed yet another Casino, the monstrous ‘M.V. Horseshoe’ owned by Jaydev Mody the son-in-law of the politically well connected former Attorney General of India Soli Sorabjee. It may not be just a coincidence that Soli Sorabjee was the Chairman of the Jury that selected Manohar Parrikar in December 2012 for the CNN-IBN Indian of the Year award in Politics. What a deal! The BJP in Goa is madly in love with the Casino brigade which is now getting the government’s total patronage and bountiful support. While the BJP is feasting and making merry with the abundant moolah flowing from the Casinos, Goa has sadly become the country’s gambling hub with the allied vices of prostitution and the narcotics trade also prospering by the day. With even the traffic rules not apply to them, they have become a law unto themselves.

Re: [Goanet] Grants to 500 Goans to attend Sri Lanka canonisation ceremony
I agree with FN A secular State should NOT spend public funds for the benefit of a group wishing to attend a religious event. Those who wish to attend should pay out of their own pocket or raise funds on their own for the purpose. There should be total separation between Religion and Civil functions (iow Church/Temple/Mosque and State) jc On 21 December 2014 at 10:30, Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا fredericknoro...@gmail.com wrote: On 21 December 2014 at 06:37, Robin Viegas robinvie...@hotmail.com wrote: Grants to 500 Goans to attend Sri Lanka canonisation ceremony This needs to be questioned! Why should the secular state pay for the excise of the religious preferences of a section of the population? I suspect it will be used as a precedence to use more from the State exchequer for diverse groups, who would not be then questionable as it-has-been-done-for-others-too!

[Goanet] Fwd: Kathryn Hummel: POEMS FROM HERE
Kathryn Hummel - Poems From Here *In Conversation with Brian Mendonca** at ICG, Goa* http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wGkF1Ql_BWo/VJYX0RErByI/Bx8/Cx116bInL94/s1600/IMG_1612%5B1%5D.JPG In the intimate setting of the Zuari hall, International Centre, Goa yesterday, Kathryn Hummel regaled poetry lovers to a reading of her poems.from her debut volume *Poems from Here *released in October. It is not everyday that we have an Australian poet of the calibre of Kathryn amongst us. So when Vivek asked me to anchor the session I was more than pleased. As it turned out Kathryn and me were on the same page. We were both in some sense traveller-poets. Considering herself nothing less than an explorer, Kathryn opened her poetry reading with: '*I always confuse / the sextant and the speculum . . ./* *Maybe they are joined / in my mind / as tools of navigation / for worlds vast as oceans, / steered in conference with the night sky.'* Widely travelled, Kathryn has spent years in Bangladesh, Japan and India. But it is in the in-between places, gazing at the moon, when she is lost and 'homeless,' that she writes her sometimes sad lines. She writes in 'Paradise Inn', Allapuzha, Kerala : *The moonlight outside my blinkered range, / has the same pale pressure of the lover I wanted nights ago,/ the one I summon to this continent from another:/ with a touch to bleach the misdeeds and the bruises they left,/ though never their memory.'* A doctorate in ethnographic studies, Dr Kathryn teaches creative communication at the University of South Australia, Magill campus. But she is not a stuffy academic. Rather, she pulsates with life, as a teenager, many of whom she has encouraged to look at poetry itself as valuable material for ethnographic study.The slim volume *Poems from Here *has been brought out elegantly by Walleah Press, North Hobart, Tasmania. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-847j2lk5ohI/VJYmjfKFdII/ByM/JT8a4GTi3rc/s1600/Poems%2Bfrom%2BHere.jpg 'Last Drinks in Adelaide' is a wonderfully evoked poem where friends sit around with the knowledge one of them is going to leave. The Australian mannerisms are retained, along with the minute details of Pip her dog: *Near the pier where Pip got kicked (we think) / by a bogan out-of towner,/ we take in our drinks; at the same time, the sea. *Her poetry is often self-reflexive. In 'Fatty Sobji' she masquerades as her acquaintances in Bangladesh reproving her for her weight: '*In terms of Rabindranath's Romanticism,/ You are like the dahl of tomorrow left out in the monsoon of today: /You are expanding the *bideshi *border by your bottom alone.' *In a recent poem Kathryn read 'Letter from Emily Bronte' in which she speaks as Bronte and replies to her detractors. Kathryn is off to Kathmandu on Tuesday. As I read my poem 'Kali Gandak' written on the Gandak river on the Indo-Nepal border I bid farewell to Kathryn with the awareness in her words that, '*outside the syntactic torture / of the poetry workshop / waits the warming cordial / of friends and wine.' *That, and her allusions to Mayakovsky, Neruda, Wordsworth, Pascal and Jibananda . . .
