[Goanet] Nachom ya Kumpasar - Ripping off Toronto Goans?

2016-04-06 Thread Roland
Tickets were sold to anxious moviegoers priced at 20 and 25 per ticket for a 
forthcoming April 10 (Sunday) show in Toronto.

We now read through Goanet that in California the ticket is priced at 12 which 
is the standard movie ticket price in this part of the world. The extra 1.60 
fee in California would be the ticket selling company's charge. In Toronto this 
fee was avoided by direct selling through volunteers.

In Toronto it appears the local Goan Overseas Assiciation (G.O.A.) has some 
connection with the showing

Why the rip-off from Toronto Goans? Who is responsible for this.

The difference is not going to break anyone's bank account, but equally, no one 
likes to be taken for a ride.

[Goanet] GIMMICKS STARTED FOR ASSEMBLY ELECTIONS

BJP PARTY NEW STRATEGY?

In today’s news headlines in one section of the Press, BJP announces a new
strategy for the BJP voters in Goa. The party now wants its flag atop their
houses. Some 1.2 lakh flags are already dispatched to all parts of Goa.
This strategy is because some of the senior leaders feel that people claim
to be BJP supporters, well wishers and voters, but never come out in open.

Although voters could be from the BJP, there will be resentment in their
minds as other parties will soon target them as supporters of BJP. In my
opinion,  I feel this strategy will not work and they may not accept this
directive to fix the flag on their houses since these days the political
strategy is to gain votes only by bribing and publicly committing to one
party will dry up income sources from other parties.

I contacted some people in Dona Paula area for their reaction and they said
that they may fix all kinds of flags on their houses, whether Congress,
BJP, AAP, UGDP, Goa Suraj, or even Goa Forward if they approach, so that
nobody can pint point which party they belong to. This way they can be
satisfied with all parties.

Yesterday (5th April 2016), I have met a group of volunteers from AAP near
the Caranzalem petrol pump and they asked me to support their party. A cap
was given to me to wear and I suggested that these kind of caps could be
issued to many people with requests that they wear them when they go all
over the city on their motorcycles. This is another kind of strategy to
canvas or show solidarity for that particular party. How many people will
be ready to do that?

In another incident which took place at Aivao village when two parties came
to their houses for their support during the Municipality election
recently,  one from BJP and another from Babush Panel, some women from this
village told them that they know to come always before the election for
votes and later they do not care for them. What was more important for them
is to repair the internal road of the village as their children find it
difficulty to walk as it is in very bad condition. The answer came from one
of the volunteers that ‘she is talking too much’. Later he said that their
party will surely repair this road once the election is over which is the
standard reply given by all the parties when they come for asking votes.
This rude behaviour to potential voters speaks volumes about the contempt
that the typical political volunteer has for voters. While asking voters to
publicly demonstrate their loyalty, parties should do their bit and try to win
voters with concrete actions, as that will result in true supporters who
will not need to be forced to declare allegiance.

[Goanet] Award-wiing Konkani movie this Saturday, April 9th at 5pm at the Tiburon Film Festival, Northern California

2016-04-06 Thread George Pinto
Goa Sudharop encourages you to attend and support the award-winning Konkani 
movie "Nachom-ia Kumpasar" (Let's dance to the rhythm) which will be screened 
at the Tiburon Film Festival (Northern California) this Saturday, April 9th,at 
5pm.



Here is the link: http://tiburonfilmfestival.com/filmInfo.php?film_id=9221

Tickets can be purchased online at 
https://tiburonfilmfestival.ticketleap.com/lets-dance-to-the-rhythm/dates/Apr-09-2016_at_0500PM
Description:  The bitter sweet relationship between a young singer and her 
musician mentor set against the backdrop of the jazz clubs of Bombay and the 
musicians from Goa during the 60s. In the 1960s Lawry a young Goan musician 
playing in the nightclubs of Bombay, returns to Goa to find a singer for his 
band where he meets Dona. While Lawry moulds the impressionable young Dona into 
a talented singer, they fall deeply in love. 

The emotional roller coaster of a love story is destined to tragedy. The film 
weaves its lilting narrative through 20 timeless songs based on actual events 
this quasi-biographical film is a tribute to one of Goa’s greatest, yet barely 
acknowledged legacy - its musicians, who once upon a time set the jazz clubs of 
Bombay on fire and actually shaped the music of Bollywood cinema. 

Thank you.

[Goanet] Shift IPL to solve drought in Maharashtra

2016-04-06 Thread Nelson Lopes
IPL SHIFTING CAN TIDE OVER DROUGHT

The Court is finally to pronounce its judgment whether or not to shift IPL
out of Mumbai The Politicians are least bothered about the priorities of
the poor, For them entertainment, fun and revenue is  not expendable The
argument that the amount of water needed to maintain the pitches and ground
could help tide over drinking water shortages and to some extent mitigate
the sufferings of farmers and contain  migration from severe drought hit
areas. IPl is seen as the necessary evil at the moment. The constitutional
provision and court pronouncements as water being included into right  to
life, the political , insensitive class could care less .There are other
states, where drought is endemic and shifting IPL out of Mumbai may not
address the large issue of drought in the rest of the country The condition
of drought in Maharashtra has been a long time issue, which the successive
Govt. have failed to address Will highlighting the issue with highly
emotive issue of IPL in Mumbai will be an effective measure to reduce
drought situation in Mumbai?

Some are of the opinion that the popular sports meet can help raise funds
to combat drought in Maharashtra by a specific cess or involve the cricket
stars to campaign for resource mobilization during and after the IPL is
over. Some wealthy enthusiasts who have bought the tickets are all those
may be inconvenienced and also lose, But they are in a position to travel
to nay corner of the Country and stil get the thrills from watching on High
definition and large screens It is not understandable how this water being
saved will be distributed to the effective populace

There is no planned water management, preservation, conservation, wastages
by leakages and curtailment of industries that are water guzzlers. There
has to be rain water harvesting systems to stop draining into the sea.
Checks to stop water contamination and differential tariffs to dissuade
wastage and judicious use of this precious live saving resource Over the
years this planning has not happened in the way it should be desired and
the problem will continue to fester with or without IPL. Long term planning
alone will solve the issue
