[Goanet] Pilar priest Peter Raposo (44) passes away at Ohio
PANJIM, Goa [March 15, 2015]: Fr Peter Raposo, former editor of the Pilar Society Konkani weekly Vauraddeancho Ixtt, currently teaching at the Ohio University, suddenly passed away on 13 March following a massive heart attack. He was 44. The Pilar Society announced that his end came at 6.30 am IST Saturday after he complained of uneasiness. Though he momentarily improved following medical attention, he eventually collapsed and breathed his last on the way to hospital. The Caranzalem-born dramatist-musician priest, who played an active role in the production of film-maker Pooja Bhatt's movie Holiday had completed his Masters in Organizational Communication and Training and Development at DePaul University at Chicago and, in 2012, was awarded a scholarship by the Ohio University. From June 2006-2010, Raposo served as the Secretary to Telespore Cardinal Toppo of the Archdiocese of Ranchi in North India, where his handling of the post as Secretary drew appreciation from the Cardinal. As an associate professor of Communication at the University, he was popular amongst students and was currently pursuing the third year of doctoral studies, where he was readying his final doctoral thesis on Servant leadership as opposed to leadership propagated by the world. The priest pointed out that Christ's style leadership was selfless and that style can help even political leaders today. Earlier, in his post doctoral thesis at the University on the importance of communication in the Church, he produced a paper 'Priest as Teacher: Understanding Source Credibility.' It was published in the Journal of Communication and Religion. If we are not credible , no one will accept our teachings. Our credibility comes from being witnesses and bearers of the Gospel values. When a priest communicates this dimension of self, the encounter occurs, Raposo had argued. The priest said that his stint in Ohio University has been the most challenging and interesting phase of his 17 years of priestly vocation for which he was unprepared.

Why did not a single one survive? [MEDIA] Romi dailies -- a lost cause? By Peter Raposo, sfx So far, almost a hundred Romi Konkani papers or periodicals have been published at different point of time since the year 1889. Undentechem Sallok by Eduardo Bruno de Souza was the first Romi Konkani periodical that started in 1889. Initially this paper started as a monthly but later came out as a fortnightly and lasted till 1894. Most of these periodicals were weekly, fortnightly or monthly with an exception of few dailies. In all there, there were a total of around nine dailies that thrived -- at different points of time -- in Romi Konkani journalism. Started in 1907 in Mumbai, by Bernard Francisco Cabral, Sanjechem Noketr is the first daily in Romi Konkani. Later, in 1932, Antonio Vicente da Cruz started Concani Bulletin, another daily paper in Mumbai. These two dailies were followed by Goan Observer (a Konkani-English daily) started in 1933 by Joao Lazarus de Souza and Emigrant by Inacio Caitano, which was started in 1934 as a weekly but later was published as a daily. These dailies were all flagged off on a high note, but there apparently wasn't enough steam to keep going. Besides, these being mostly a one-man show business, after a short span of time they all closed. This was the first phase of the daily papers. Most of these papers did not follow any rules of grammar or syntax. Portuguese words crept in extensively. The second phase of the daily papers began in 1963 soon after Goa's Liberation. Felicio Cardozo started Sot in Margao. This was followed by Divtti, which started in 1967 of which Felicio Cardozo, again, was the first editor. (Incidentally, Sot and A Vida, a Portuguese daily, joined forces and combined to form Divtti). In 1970, Gomantak Private Limited started Uzvadd in Panjim. This was edited by Evagrio Jorge. In 1982, Novem Goem was started and Gurunath Kelekar became its first editor. Goencho Avaz is the last Romi Konkani daily on our list, which was started by Fr. Freddy D'Costa in 1989. This second phase saw changes come in by way of language used, grammar and syntax. Many writers emerged during this period.

[Goanet] Ghor bhav - a discussion on the term and concept
GHOR BHAV Very often it happens here in Goa that when all siblings have settled abroad, or are working abroad, one brother (or sister) either takes on or is given the responsibility of looking after the aging parents and the family house and property. Is there a term for such a brother who stays back? Maybe on the lines of 'ghor zanvuim' (house son-in-law). Can he be called ghor bhav or ghor bhoinn. Have I just coined a term that will soon come into popular usage? Do you know of any ghor bhavs? -- This post above from me on Facebook elicited interesting comments and responses. Below is a selection. Does anyone here on GoaNet have any opinions on the term/matter? -- Irineu: There have been cases but the term you coined has not been known. Should we credit you with the term? Cecil: You don't have to credit me when you use it while speaking but if you use it while writing you have to put- (c) Cecil Pinto. This is only till October 2015 after which I will generously declare it Public Domain and everyone can use it without acknowledging my coining of the term. Example of usage, My ghor bhav [(c) - Cecil Pinto] Edwin said Mummy insisted on being taken by taxi for all the ladainhas and so to please send some more money. Joy: Very true, something to ponder on. It is a sacrifice Cecil: Joy, I don't know about sacrifice. In some cases the siblings abroad contributed handsomely towards the upkeep of parents and house and the ghor bhav [(c) - Cecil Pinto] would have an additional source of income which allowed him to live a better lifestyle. Margarida: gosh Cecil so many of these around Goathey sacrificed and stayed behindbut when it comes to division of propertythey all come back ouncing on the GHOR BHAU anim BHOIN Cecil: Margarida although I like the sound of 'ghor rakhno' it sounds somewhat like a cowherd's job. I COIN A NEOLOGISM AND SUDDENLY EVERYBODY IS A LEXICOGRAPHER AND WANTS TO COIN SIMILAR TERMS AND TAKE CREDIT! Bah! Anthony: padiser bhau vo bhoin as unsucessfull to settle else where ! Cecil: Anthony, not always was the ghor bhav [(c) - Cecil Pinto] 'padisher'. Very often he had no desire to go abroad - for example someone like me. He often, by his presence in Goa, provided an opportunity to his siblings to enjoy a better lifestyle abroad without having to worry about matters back home. Joy: Cecil Pinto, understand personification! Ghor mazor is a term commonly used in konkani referring to people tied down to the house responsibility Cecil: Joy, please understand I am a cunning linguist. The term 'ghor mazor' refers to someone who likes to stay at home. It has no connection with 'responsibility'. Till today the term 'ghor mazor' has only been used online once and so it qualifies as a Googlewhack because if you put it without quotes in Google it produces only one result. http://issuu.com/goa-streets/docs/web_f8d57a34d71b21/20 . Now look at the usage there. It was in a QA to an agony aunt column which was written at the time by Jose Lourenco and has a sexual connotation. Gabe: The one who stays behind should inherit lock stock and barrel imho. Michelle: My brother is ghor bhav (c) cecil pinto) but he does not look after anyone. My mum looks after him. Arsenio: Ghor iramo Cecil: Arsenio, irmao is an elder brother. A ghor bhav [(c) - Cecil Pinto] is not always the eldest brother. Cecil: Side topic: The word 'irmao' is a loan word from the Portuguese language and means brother. In Konkani it conventionally means elder brother or is used as a term of respect for a unrelated elder male. Some people argue that it means 'brother' and not 'elder brother'. I am not sure of this. The fact that you will never call a younger male 'irmao' says something, no? Savika: Cecil Pintothis is unfair to those who collectively share responsibility towards their parentsand an encouragement to those that are waiting to shed responsibility to a prime person in the family Cecil: What is unfair Savika? The practice? Why? It works for so many people. What is your exact objection? Savika: Cecil Pinto, Yes the words that you want to coin 'ghor bhav' (sounds horrible ).In my circles so far everyone takes ownership of elderly parents Cecil: Savika you must be inhabiting very rarefied circles. You mean to say nobody in your 'circles' lives or works abroad and has elderly parents here in Goa? None of them has siblings here who take care of the parents? Now taking 'ownership' and actually taking physical care of parents are two different things. Nobody denies 'ownership' of their parents. But due to circumstances if they are abroad they keep in touc with their parents and send enough remittances to them, and the caretaker sibling/s, to live a comfortable life. What is wrong with this? Everyone's happy. Savika: Cecil Pintomy 'circles' are definitely more mature than yoursI know people who take their parents with them abroad too and are treating them well..u

[Goanet] MARGAO JMFC SUMMONS MAPUSA JUDGE TO FACE TRIA
The Margao Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Reina Fernandes has summoned Judge Dvijple Patkar to appear before her on April 7th at 2.30 pm to face trial for offences under Sections 498-A (b), 323, read with Section 34 of Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Judge Dvijple Patkar who is currently Civil Judge Senior Division and Judicial Magistrate First Class at Mapusa is the first Judge in Goa’s history to be summoned as an accused. The Margao Police on 5th March charge sheeted Judge Dvijple Patkar and two others after an investigation consequent to a First Information Report No 502/2014 dated 3rd November 2014 that was registered against Judge Dvijple Patkar. Judge Dvijple Patkar is also facing proceedings under the Domestic Violence Act registered as DVA/28/2014 before the Court of the Judicial Magistrate First Class at Vasco. Those proceedings are currently before the South Goa District Judge PV.Sawaikar with the next hearing scheduled on March 20th. It would now have to be seen if the High Court allows the very tainted Dvijple Patkar to continue discharging her duties as a Judge. It would have been very appropriate for Judge Patkar to herself step down and face the wheels of Justice. This is the darkest ever and very sordid shameful chapter for Goa’s Judiciary. A charge sheeted person presiding over the Temple of Justice. It couldn’t get any worse.
