[Goanet] Awakening to the Cosmos within - Vivek Menezes on Clarice Vaz's work
In her light-filled house skirted by rice paddies in a peaceful vaddo of Saligao, Clarice Vaz is steadily building a unique oeuvre of artworks that are a formidable monument to her irrepressible passion, and a profoundly moving tribute to her beloved son, the late Craig Vaz. Vaz signs her artwork with Craig’s name to keep it alive forever, permanently cherished by the owners of his mother’s paintings, as they circulate around the world and in Goa. Their increasing popularity should not come as a surprise, despite the fact their creator is a registered nurse who has only turned to painting full-time relatively recently. This because Clarice Vaz has been relentlessly, and highly impressively, innovative with her techniques and themes. The self-taught “fluid”technique yields canvases that are hypnotically powerful, drawing the viewer deep into glimpses of eternity. The “spin” paintings - executed on a home-made machine in the Vaz back garden - pack an irresistible, colourful punch. The additional suite of “syringe’ paintings are perhaps unique in art history – they required a nurse’s expert hand to create these extraordinarily detailed works depicting an idealized Goa. Today’s art world is dominated by manufactured superstars, by surface-deep cleverness and calculation. This leave little spaces for sincerity, for sheer perseverance. But these are precisely the rare the characteristics that shine through Clarice Vaz’s work, palpably imbued with love and dedication, and the compulsive quest for the divine spark that fuels this artist’s vision. It is not a secret that Craig Vaz was felled by a very rare, undiagnosed ailment that his mother also carries. But Clarice Vaz refuses treatment, and instead paints for hours every day. The practice of deep meditation with her artistic tools and innovative mediums is – quite literally – a life-saver. This too can been seen in the artwork, these are paintings that truly matter. For the path-breaking art exhibition, Aparanta, which took place in the Old GMC building in Panjim in 2007, the brilliant curator and writer Ranjit Hoskote took several days to travel around Goa, to visit artists in their home studios. At that time, there was very little local interest for most of them, coupled with a strong national resistance to the very idea of “Goan art”. But Hoskote detected the presence of something truly significant happening in scattered villages across Goa. Noting that Goan artists have fed art world for generations like “an invisible river”, he reported being shocked to repeatedly find “meteorically brilliant artists” languishing unknown because of “a lack of context”. Goa glaringly lacked critics and collectors with the wherewithal and confidence to celebrate talent where it flourished. Instead, shallow diktats from Delhi and Mumbai held sway, even here in the land of Fonseca and Trindade and Gaitonde, and Saligao’s own Francis Newton Souza. Less than a decade after Hoskote magisterially registered Goa’s twenty-first century art trajectory in the national imagination, many things have changed for the better. Some artists in Goa have started to earn real success, and national critical appreciation. The collector base is steadily burgeoning. But the challenge still remains whether this still-forming art world can understand and accept real artistic talent and guts when it shows up unannounced, or from an unexpected source. Clarice Vaz’s heartfelt paintings demand that kind of recognition, and our collective congratulations for her remarkable achievement. By Vivek Menezes --- www.claricevaz.in www.claricevaz.com

[Goanet] GFDO Press Note
GFDO PRESS NOTE GFDO wondered why CM Parsekar was so willing to accede to the demand of the Union Defence Minister that 6 lakh square metres of land be allotted to the Defence Ministry for Defexpo and other related events in Betul. As the Chief Minister of Goa, it is Mr. Parsekar’s bounden duty to look after and protect the interests of Goa and Goans. Surely CM Parsekar is aware that tiny Goa has very scarce land resources compared to other states like Bihar, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh among others. Therefore, as CM, it is his responsibility to not only halt further unwarranted acquisitions, but work tirelessly to recover the large parcels of precious Goan land that have been needlessly occupied by the Defence forces as Mr. Parrikar himself had time and again pointed out as Leader of Opposition and subsequently Chief Minister of Goa. However, in yet another U turn, the former Chief Minister has declared his Defence Ministry’s intention of swallowing even more of Goa’s scarce and precious land for the purpose of holding Defexpo which will in no way benefit either Goa or Goans. It will be recalled that as CM, Mr. Parrikar himself had said in the Assembly that ‘It is easier to get the army to vacate from Lahore, but not from even an inch of land in Panaji. I completely support the army and navy, but I cannot understand this possessive thing they have about land. This is not right. We will not give land for a naval enclave in Mopa.” Mr. Parrikar should tell Goans what has changed since then. If Mr. Parrikar genuinely has the interests of Goa and Goans at heart, he should put an end to the stifling of Dabolim Airport by the government and use his good offices at the Centre to ensure that the shoddy and unsafe construction of Dabolim Airport Terminal is repaired and restored to good condition. After all, it is a matter of safety of passengers and staff that is at stake and of course Rs.500 crores of taxpayers’ money that has been used to construct the terminal. As Union Defence Minister, right at the helm of affairs in the Defence Ministry, Divine Providence has placed Mr. Parrikar in a perfect position wherein he has been endowed with the capability to fulfil his own request made in December 2013 to Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh on the occasion of the inauguration of the new Dabolim Airport terminal to “consider us (Goa) also a part of India and give us some extra land at Dabolim.” What stops Mr. Parrikar as Defence Minister from sanctioning the extra land that is so vitally needed for growth and development of Dabolim Airport? Does he himself not consider Goa a part of India? For the people of Goa, this is the decisive moment that will test the credibility and sincerity of Mr. Parrikar. It is distressing that although Mr. Parrikar spoke as a Goan in his past avatars both as Leader of Opposition as well as Chief Minister, he appears to have made a very quick and smooth transition to the Delhi mindset. It is sad when Goans forget their roots and look upon their home state (Goa) as fair game to lubricate and further their own career prospects at the centre of power, even at the cost of their homeland.

[Goanet] implement cabinet decison says FORCE
implement cabinet decision says FORCE The precipitation of the crisis is due to provocative utterances of Mr Davlikar to rescind the cabinet decision on MOI.The C.M has not clarified his statement and allowed it to float, perhaps to test the waters.Mr Davlikar is a responsible member of the cabinet not to understand the consequences of the bombshell. Instead emphasis is on to find out who motivated the crowd It is not right to insinuate a priest when the masses took to the street in defense of their rights, as parents.Their simple demand is to make into law the cabinet decision, so that permanent uncertainties are laid to rest.is it too much to ask?Mr Parikar the architect of the solution is enjoying the ring side view, as the C.M is not to his nominee.The legislators instead of debating the issue are trying to persuade the secretary with the promise of future action The argument that the decision is with the select committee is a non stater.It is the usual method of keeping it into hibernation to postponed and delay indefinitely.There has been enough time for this suggestion to have been implemented The Congress is now shedding crocodile tears, having done precious nothing when they were in power, but allowed it to fester. The public show of sympathising is only to resurrect their sagging electoral fortunes. The BJP has enough strength to carry the motion, but deliberately fuelling the opponents to take pot shots Prominent protagonist want to force their views on general public, unable to see the truth in their own backyard,Other legislators have their wards educated even ouside the country.The lobby of private English medium schools are raking the mola, laughing all the way to the bank , Concerned parents are forced to cough up to secure the the future of their wards ,Mr Davlikar was a party to this decision and dared not open his mouth when Mr Parikar was in the chair Some elements are putting family pressure to dilute the determination and resolve to persue the issue to its logical end this session to test the sincerity of past evasive promises.The Govt has withdrawn permission for peaceful agitation and now acting tough further. Isolated voices are propagating the short inconvenience caused to general public.The inconveniences caused over delayed periods due to suspension power , water strikes etc are more damning. The idea to prosecute the protesters will backfire as an oppressive procedure for legitimate peaceful demonstration to wake up the slumbering authorities True laws are not made on streets, but the legislators are not serious to recognise the wishes of their voters.The support received to the movement from all over Goa is not limited to Salcette Taluka or minorities alone In the past too the minorities were always at the receiving end of insinuations during language agitations, opinion poll, statehood and now MOI. It will unwise to ignore the health conditions of the secretary of FORCE, hopping it will peter off due to exhaustion. The perils of such manipulations are fraught with dangerous consequences, be warned Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
[Goanet] DOES MODI LIVE IN FEAR? By Dr. Francisco Colaço
From: bcsabha.kal...@gmail.com To: From: Roger D'Souza rdsg2...@gmail.com DOES MODI LIVE IN FEAR? By Dr. Francisco Colaço (COURTESY GOAN OBSERVER dt. Aug 1, 2015) PM Modi seems a forlorn figure unsure of himself, a far cry from his pre-election behaviour We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict Jim Morrison If one looks at the visage of PM Modi in recent times and compares it to the one just before the elections, it is striking that the effervescence in his countenance has all but vanished. As of today he looks like a worried man trying to exorcise his ghosts. Earlier, there was immense euphoria and his mien (along with his 56-inch chest) exuded exuberance and enthusiasm as he crisscrossed the country promising the moon to those who would bring him to power. There was no need for anyone to doubt or think twice because, we were made to believe, he had the capacity to bring rivers of economic prosperity. What is more, corruption would be a thing of the past; he would usher in an era where everyone would be able to feel and savour acche din... in other words, the brightest future one could ever fathom. And those were no empty promises, for sure, because he really sounded like he had a magic wand to the extent that everything he touched would turn to gold! EMPTY PROMISES Merely a year on, the rhetoric begins to fade as he fails to deliver on most counts. Soon he begins to realise that being head of a national party organization is an entirely different challenge from being the chief minister of a state. True, the prime minister is first among equals in the national parliament, but he miserably comes to realize that he is just second fiddle to the powerful leaders who govern the states that make up India’s federal system and these are people who bear battle scars inflicted by caste politics and the virulent anti-incumbency tendencies that rile India’s state elections. REMOTE CONTROL Moreover it is a truism that BJP cannot alienate itself from its remote-control, the RSS daddy. Modi’s sordid track record of stoking anti-minority sentiments, both in Gujarat and nationally surely must be coming to haunt him at every moment while he is incessantly being egged on to toe more and more the line of the right-wing Hindu fanatics. His silence on the Lalitgate and the Vyapam scams places doubt in his competence to deal with major crises within his own party and has dented his reputation as a taskmaster leaving behind deep gashes which Modi will find difficult to heal. Promoting peaceful relations with India’s neighbours is vital for creating a geopolitical situation conducive to economic growth but Modi has miserably failed to deal effectively with Pakistan and non-state actors operating from across the border and this will continue to be a thorn in his side. TEESTA NEMESIS It is said that the brave crusader Teesta was thus named by her father after a river in Bangladesh which flows fearlessly across the border. Why does Modi fear the fearless Teesta so much? For one it is undeniable that Modi would like to roll back the clock, consign the 2002 Gujarat carnage to the dustbin of history and replace Teesta Setalvad as the villain, who hounded the then chief minister. Then, there are so many other fearless and selfless crusaders breathing down his neck for allegedly curbing human rights. But “can the collective amnesia on the Gujarat riots, and the view that we must move on be ever legitimized?” asks Indira Jaising. “Yes”, she goes on, “it could possibly happen if one day Zakia Jafri and Teesta Setalvad, who are doing everything constitutionally and legally possible to hold the head of the then government accountable, are checkmated, gagged, and put into jail.” Admittedly, conspiracies are not easy to prove, but judging from the attack on Teesta Setalvad, the PM seems worried and insecure that there is an off chance - maybe just an off chance - that some well-meaning judge might accept the evidence pointing to the massive failure of his constitutional duty to prevent the killings. What stands between him and the clean chit are the courts and the cases Teesta is pursuing. Jaising emphasizes, “What we are witnessing is the power of the state and its terrorising arm, the CBI, to mount a raid on Teesta's home and office to prove that she misused foreign funds versus the power of the courts to hold power to account. Who will win this battle? It is the courts of this country that are on trial, not Teesta”, Jaising concludes. It very much looks that in PM’s designs there is one law for the “non-profit” organizations and another for “for-profit” corporates. Modi seems to be utilising FCRA (Foreign Contributions Regulations Act) as a gateway to crushing human rights, and what is worse, an alibi for an argument that the NGOs who take up human right

[Goanet] Opening of Goan Institute Nairobi .
In the latest issue of the Kenya-published OLD AFRICA magazine(to which I subscribe), there is an interesting article on the opening of the Goan Institute Nairobi by Mr. C.W. Hobley, H.M. Assistant Deputy Commissioner on 8th December, 1906. I'd just like to share a few extracts which might interest our readers: Here's part of Hobley's speech: ...I am greatly struck by the enterprise of your community in building such a fine edifice. I am particularly appreciative of your efforts because I note that you have had the good sense to build in stone, and this shews me that you have faith in the future of this country. Optimism tempered by judgement is the only creed for this country, and those who do not believe this doctrine had better leave it at once... (*wonder what he would have to say of Kenya today?)* He goes on to praise the community etc etc, but there's one paragraph that I found quite interesting when he refers to management of the institute. Here goes... I would like to add a word on the management of the institute and recommend you to always exercise great care in the selection of your committee. Elect the best educated and strongest men you can find and give them a free hand, and trust them to keep up the character of the establishment and support them in checking the exuberance of unruly members (*sound advice I must admit).* Quite a lengthy and interesting article, but this will give you the gist. The President of the Institute at the time was Mr. J.M. Campos Mervyn Maciel
[Goanet] UK - Breadline - Pets in England lose out on creative Goan cooking
Hi UK - Breadline - Pets in England lose out on creative Goan Cooking. An example of Cockroach Mentality and Self Enrichment amongst Clever Dickie Goans in Breadline Britain (Courtesy of Goan Voice UK) Front Page News Report from Michael Benke Swindon Advertiser / 05:00 Tuesday 4 August 2015 Quote ALMOST half a tonne of food belonging to a Swindon caterer is to be destroyed after he was caught taking a delivery of raw meat - from a pet food supplier. Royly Da Silva, 37, of Salisbury Street is the owner of Royal Food, which supplies Goan and Indian food to various events, including last year’s Swindon Goan Festival. During an investigation into the pet food company last week, Da Silva was spotted buying the meat in unmarked bags from a truck which was not refrigerated. When questioned he confirmed all his meat was bought from the pet food supplier but could not say exactly where the meat came from and there were no invoices. Upon further investigation it was found he was storing food in a garage behind Bright Street in a “disgraceful” condition, forcing environmental health officers to seize 450 kilograms of food. Swindon Borough Council therefore went before Swindon Magistrates’ Court on Monday to request an emergency order, to have the food destroyed and prevent him from using the garage. Phil Wirth, speaking on behalf of the council, said: “During a joint operation with the police involving a suspected pet food supplier delivering meat to Swindon, Mr Da Silva was apprehended taking a delivery of raw meat from a pet food supplier. “The meat was being distributed in an unrefrigerated van which was used predominantly for pet food delivery with no clear separation between the products. “There were sacks of meat which were being delivered as pet food with no identifying marks and so could easily be confused with those sacks delivered as food for human consumption. “The van which the meat was delivered on was dirty and bags of meat were either on the floor or in Dolavs [plastic boxes] which stored the pet food meat and offal.” The Royal Food catering company website boasts a five-star food hygiene rating, which the company received on previous inspections. However, Da Silva failed to disclose the separate garage where much of the food was stored to the inspectors. “The conditions found within what was actually a garage/lock up were disgraceful,” said Mr Wirth. “It was cluttered with old, filthy accumulations of old food containers, littered with dust and cobwebs, food equipment including three upright refrigerators which were turned off and a large circular barbecue grill which [was] recognised from the Goan Festival 2014. “The room was open at the far end and led to a garden/back yard so access by pests could not be removed.” Within the garage was a chest freezer packed with food, which Da Silva confirmed was intended for use at an event in London due to be attended by up to 15,000 people. Mr Wirth said: “The freezer in which the food was stored was filthy, littered with old food debris and congealed blood, there were dead flies lying in the bottom. “There were Goan sausages hanging in the lockup in a plastic bag and Royly Da Silva was not clear about when and where these were prepared.” Chairman of the bench, Helen Toomer, agreed with council and granted the requests. Da Silva was present in court and representing himself but did not speak to defend his case.

[Goanet] Mauvin Godinho to regularise all illegal constructions in Goa
Mauvin thinks that all Goans are illiterate Ghanttis. Let him try regularise a single illegal house on Communidade Land. He will be slapped with Contempt of Supreme Court's Order. Communidade is Portuguese meaning of Community. And Communidade land is Community land / village land. Read para 22 of Supreme Court Order and Directives. http://indiankanoon.org/doc/1692607/ Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão.
Re: [Goanet] Mauvin Godinho to regularise all illegal constructions in Goa
Regularizing illegal structures are mostly done in Goa. In fact, in future people should start constructing illegal housing because it is certain that one day whichever Govt comes in power, they will surely regularize. This is not a Joke but it is a fact and it happens mostly only in Goa. This is a good opportunity for those appointed as PDA's Chairman. IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. BUT WHAT TO DO. IT COULD BE VOTE BANK MISCHIEF. IF IT IS ILLEGAL SHOULD NOT BE MADE LEGAL IN ANY FIELD.

He said the committee under his leadership was well-seized of the issue. It would urgently formulate a policy and prepare a detailed roadmap, which would be submitted to the Convener of the commission before the end of the assembly session. “The post of chairman of the sub-committee is more important than the post of SGPDA chairman simply because this is an issue that is hanging for decades. People wanted resolutions and wanted the government to act either way. As the revenue minister in 2000, I tried my best to regularise these structures. However, an attorney of the communidade went to the court and stalled the whole process. Thereafter nobody took interest, but I never lost track of the issue. Finally I believe something is happening on this front,” said Godinho. He continued, “Governments talk about empowering the common man, but fail to understand that these people have been staying in those structures for decades together with all amenities. Still the structures are called illegal as they are not in the resident’s name. This is one step by which the BJP government is trying to empower the common man. The Congress failed to do it despite being in power for several years.” Regarding the date by which the whole procedure for regularization of structures should be completed, Godinho said, “I will submit an interim report before the Assembly on how we can move forward in fulfilling the promise made during the last assembly election. Without any doubt, before the next assembly session, *99 percent of these illegal structures on communidade land will be regularised. * The communidades have lost all hope in getting back the encroached land, and thus, regularisation is the only solution.”

Sorry to be the harbinger of such bad news this early in the morning... our long-time friend and a very widely known figure in cyberspace, journalist Joel D'Souza (69) passed away after a very brief illness at the District Hospital, Mapusa. Joel was a journalist since the 1960s almost, worked for a range of mastheads, and had so many interesting stories to narrate... We were good friends and worked a lot together. He was extremely productive. While also very low-profile and always excessively modest about his work, he kept reporting, photographing, videographing,and editing on so many Goa-related issues. To get him to talk about his experiences, you needed to bait him with names of others! Joel had a lot of unfinished work on hand... one is a (Romi Konkani-English) dictionary he co-authored with Isidore Dantas, awaiting publishing. Joel successfully made a shift-over to the online media, early on, soon after it reached Goa in the 1990s. He had a long stint with GoaCom and Goanet, send out news updates for perhaps a decade... Just a few months back, we were sitting in a very noisy restaurant in Porvorim, and I was coaxing him to write about his experiences in journalism for a forthcoming book. As usual, he was reticent, almost believing that he had nothing to talk about. But as he kept telling me one fascinating story after another, I just could not resist and used the video cam for note-taking. The resultant interviews are below... (What was most surprising was when he told me his name wasn't actually Joel... and brushed aside my curiosity. Just this morning, his good friend Alexyz told me it was... Joseph!)

[Goanet] GOANET: AN UNHOLY NEXUS?
Dear Aires, Your news appears to be in the right direction that this chap Nilesh may be under the guise of Subhakar Rao and could be compared to Louis Berger? I have also got a smell that Nilesh Cabral is also trying to promote boat cruises on tourism near Children Park area after getting rid of private operators from Nikil boats and other boat operators.. This is food for taught and needs to be investigated before an another Scam takes place. People are working to help him and Alina bai is suffering for this move. Captain of Ports it seems not cooperating with Nilesh Cabral? If his move is in good intention than he needs to be given cooperation and support from public.

The flesh, is only of secondary importance. Mervyn BTW, if you try and research what goes into your burgers, etc., you will soon turn vegetarian.

Re: [Goanet] [GOABOOKCLUB] Opening of Goan Institute Nairobi .
Dear Mervyn, Your letter was total gibberish to me until I read: The President of the Institute at the time was Mr. J.M. Campos: I happened to live until I was 9 years old at the junction of the Campos-Ribeiro Avenue in a lodging that was above 'Hole in the Wall Bar' owned and run by Mr V. C. Mascarenhas of Moira. 'Hole in the Wall Bar' is a wonderful name that harks back to the Goan origins of the owners. Originally Oscar 'Boom' - the medical rep from Moira with the magnificent house in Attafondem, who's family used to own that bar. Then when Oscar's father decided to leave Kenya he sold it to Mr V. C. Mascarenhas whose house in Moira is just above the Gauri Apartments building in Bambordem and now occupied by Ms Vera/Veronica Mascanenhas and her husband, V.C.'s son, whose name I right now can't remember. The reason why I said 'Hole in the Wall Bar' is a wonderful name is because it harks back to the* 'gaddi'* of yore. The *'gaddi'* was the bar of olden times in Goa. It was basically literally a Hole in the Wall. You had to put your money through a hole in the wall and order what booze you wanted and you would be given that booze through the hole.No bakwas, no BS, no nothing. It was pure quid pro quo. Get your fix and scram! No I don't want to go back to those times, which are like the simple bars that you encounter in places outside Goa. I prefer to have my fixes in a more susegado way. Don't you agree Balaji? CHEERS! Augusto On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 8:05 PM, Mervyn Maciel mervynels.watuwasha...@gmail.com wrote: In the latest issue of the Kenya-published OLD AFRICA magazine(to which I subscribe), there is an interesting article on the opening of the Goan Institute Nairobi by Mr. C.W. Hobley, H.M. Assistant Deputy Commissioner on 8th December, 1906. I'd just like to share a few extracts which might interest our readers: Here's part of Hobley's speech: ...I am greatly struck by the enterprise of your community in building such a fine edifice. I am particularly appreciative of your efforts because I note that you have had the good sense to build in stone, and this shews me that you have faith in the future of this country. Optimism tempered by judgement is the only creed for this country, and those who do not believe this doctrine had better leave it at once... (*wonder what he would have to say of Kenya today?)* He goes on to praise the community etc etc, but there's one paragraph that I found quite interesting when he refers to management of the institute. Here goes... I would like to add a word on the management of the institute and recommend you to always exercise great care in the selection of your committee. Elect the best educated and strongest men you can find and give them a free hand, and trust them to keep up the character of the establishment and support them in checking the exuberance of unruly members (*sound advice I must admit).* Quite a lengthy and interesting article, but this will give you the gist.
