Absolutely disgusting!

Politicians, Bollywood, Industrialists, Chief Justices and all sorts of 
middlemen. The only ones missing are Police, Media and the Bureaucrats. Perhaps 
they are too clever to get caught on tape.

BJP, Congress, Samajwadi, NCP, AIDMK - they are all led by crooks and filled 
with crooks.

India can only be saved by the very few (too few actually) standup men and 
women who are either in danger of their lives or under extreme pressure to 
giving up on their honesty and principles.

With regard to the bureaucracy, one serving IPS person said that in order to 
fight the corrupt system, one has to keep one’s bags packed and ready for 
transfer at any time. How many are ready to stand up to the corrupt system in 
this manner?

[Goanet] A PANCHANAMA OF THIS GOVERNMENT’S FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE

[Aires Rodrigues]

Today 14th March the coalition Goa government led by Chief Minister Manohar
Parrikar completes a year in office. Politicians and Political parties who
were ideologically poles apart from the BJP prior to the 2017 Assembly
elections, suddenly within hours of the results being declared on
March 11th all
jumped and congregated on the same bed without caring that Goa was being
further screwed.  Manohar Parrikar shrewdly maneuvered and manipulated
every trick under his sleeve to usurp the Chief Minister’s chair. The
formation of the coalition was not for the sake of Goa but selfishly to
share Power and the spoils of office.



To assuage the then public resentment and outrage over this current unholy
alliance, the people of Goa were hoodwinked by promising a Common Minimum
Programme (CMP) which would guide and gear the functioning of this motley
cabinet.



But as was expected it has been a year of confusion, contradictions and
controversies. This may sound like a eulogy but it is factually the ground
reality. While assuming office this government by way of Goem, Goenkar and
Goenkarponn had promised the moon but has reneged on almost every promise
made.



Manohar Parrikar’s only achievement over the last year is of having almost
stifled the entire voice of the Opposition. By his trademark tactics he has
been able to keep on leash, and ground most of the Opposition MLAs.
Surprisingly to the credit of Manohar Parrikar even some of the otherwise
very vocal and proactive NGO’s have also gone into comatose.  The Chief
Minister has been playing to the gallery on the issue of Goenkarponn but
has done nothing to control the alarming and unacceptable levels of
migration into Goa.



While in the Opposition Vijai Sardesai and Rohan Khaunte had consistently
demanded the scrapping of the Investment Promotion Board (IPB) which they
had alleged was BJP’s massive den for Corruption. Now in a U turn Vijai
Sardesai is content with the IPB while Rohan Khaunte is brazenly the new
Vice-Chairman of that very board.



Vijai Sardesai and his Goa Forward had also all along demanded the
immediate removal of the Casinos from the River Mandovi. Something which
Rohan Khaunte had also been very vociferous about until embracing the BJP. The
escalating levels of crime in the State is a matter of grave concern. The
rampant corruption continues unabated. Only the agents, brokers and
beneficiaries have changed. Scams have continued galore.



This government has miserably handled the Mining issue with its uncalled
for confrontational attitude with the Supreme Court. It is no secret that
the ruling coalition has now cozied up with the Mining lobby too, only
proving that Power corrupts and absolute Power corrupts absolutely.



So on its first anniversary this coalition government has nothing to
celebrate or even cheer about. Governance has gone for a toss and the
administration is in a state of limbo with Captain Manohar Parrikar himself
under medical treatment in New York after assuring the people that he would
govern Goa through video- conferencing and email from his hospital
bed.  Towards the end of his political innings the power obsessed Manohar
Parrikar has committed the worst possible political harkiri by not handing
over the charge of the State to the Senior most Minister before he left for
the United States. Today despite serious and pressing issues confronting
the State we have no Chief Minister in place while the Government is
hovering all over alike a headless chicken. Sorrowing lies our Goa.

[Goanet] Mopa Airport pyramid invitation for suggestions and expressions of interest

[MELVYN FERNANDES]

Mopa Airport pyramid invitation for suggestions and expressions of interest

In the English Dictionary Goa comes before Goan, God and Google. In his song 
”Proud to be Goan” written specially for World Goa Day, Basilio Magno, former 
Editor of Goan Echo, while in Russelsheim Germany described Goa as a small dot 
on the map.  This was more than thirty years ago when Jorge and Livia De Abreu 
proposed World Goa Day, seconded by a lady in Maryland California. Lest we 
forget this special event called “World Goa Day (WGD)” was instituted to mark 
the anniversary of that momentous day – 20th of August 1992 – when the Indian 
Parliament included Konkani in the 8th Schedule of the Indian Constitution. 
That was the long awaited day when Konkani got due recognition as an official 
language in India, Konkani – “Amchi Bas” – Our Mother tongue, finally 
recognized as Indian. What a wonderful reason to celebrate. For ten years 
nothing happened until the strenuous efforts of Rene Baretto in London got the 
occasion up and running and created an interest in different parts of the 
world. This is now celebrated at in various countries at different times of the 
year. If the date of Christmas day could be changed by the Goan it would have 
been by now. The Logo of World Goa Day shows a family leaving the Golden Sands 
of Goa crossing the sea, with them, they carried our culture, music, food and 
heritage.

Rewinding, as a former editor of the Goan Association (UK) Newsletter with no 
internet access and one finger typing on a slow Remington manual typewriter 
going tap tap tap into the night waking the neighbours I had asked for a list 
of outstanding jobs to be done in Goa and invited our people with skills living 
abroad to assist local people and projects funded by Surplus income from 
celebrations eating and dancing in several countries that could create 
employment opportunities. May I ask again perhaps the NRI office can 
coordinate? Our people are so clever Google not needed. You may recall 
President Banda of Malawi expelled a whole Goan population from Malawi because 
there were dancing at the club while his speech was on the Radio.

World Goa Day in 2018 is more important than it has ever been. Today it 
highlights our people who are neither here nor there some even having abandoned 
Goan family names one would think we have an artificial half cast generation 
CHOTARA with names like Mckenzie, Johnson, Washington, Shelton, Rodney and 
Fawn. These are not Goan or Portuguese or Indian names as new arrivals from Goa 
land in Breadline Britain in search of a better life and employment 
opportunities. These names could be associated with Kapris from the West Indies 
along with the local natives.

There is a saying you are worth more dead than alive. In England the Registered 
Charity Goan Welfare Society based in Cranford can and has arranged for a one 
or four bedroom coffins to be airfreighted to Goa depending on Price. To remind 
you this new business appears to have no transparent audit trail and, in its 
absence, could be easily viewed as a hand in pocket thrill recently being 
mimicked by others begging for money on the internet with no payment safeguard 
for donations and their donors thus leaving their individual bank account open 
to fraudsters. Those who qualified so far have been Portuguese Nationals of 
Goan Origin claiming to have no money. Goan Welfare Society has enough funds 
for the next hundred coffins or Ashes facility for 200. With unknown additional 
income from the overcrowded 700 capacity fundraiser New Year’s Ball 2017 at 
Wands worth Town Hall and income streams from Raffles, Bar, Paper hats, 
catering Life membership revenue with no receipts or welcome pack creating a 
feel good factor. Although I have enquired, no one has told me the amount 
raised and my feeling is nobody cares as they dance the night away. No more 
begging please.   Every other day there are announcements of people dying in UK 
followed by requiem mass and burial in GOA.   Is it the latest craze to come to 
UK before you die?   For free shipment back to Mother Goa for burial?

In my note of 5th May I asked as to what happens to bodies chemically treated 
abroad to prevent decay brought to mother Goa for burial. Just like mining and 
coal, this business with allegations of Hand in Pocket has no consideration for 
the environment as in Goa graves are recycled every three years as bodies 
decompose. There used to be talk of human bones distributed across the state by 
foxes is this still the Case.

The Pyramid will be a memento of our present civilization. The building could 
have a cremation facility to process the newly arrived bodies, the ashes 
including gold from tooth fillings and accessories could be passed on to loved 
ones. The coffins that were zinc or lead lined could be stripped of precious 
metals that could be recycled.

To further protect the environment every person in Goa should now lobby their 

[Goanet] Emergency Numbers Are Busy

[Roland Francis]

Quote 
Narayan said the auto lost control and toppled right before his eyes. The 
elderly driver, Rajkumar Palekar (54), and his passenger, Surekha Shivekar 
(32), were thrown out. "The airbags in my car popped out. My immediate reaction 
was to check on the auto driver and passenger. She was conscious and moaning in 
pain but he, being much older, had lost consciousness immediately. I dialled 
the police emergency number '100' but it was busy. Around 50 people gathered 
after the accident but nobody offered to help," said Narayan. 
Unquote.

This is an excerpt from a newspaper article about Indian actor Aditya Narayan 
ramming his Mercedes Benz into an auto rickshaw in Bombay.

“The emergency number 100 was busy”. This is quite the norm from various 
reports. What good is an emergency number if it is busy. Once there were 
standard excuses for this kind of poor showing. India is poor or India has a 
huge population.

Now it is more transparent why actually such things happen. Skewed priorities 
or low value for life.

[Goanet] Dairy farmer's meet remain inconclusive

[samir umarye]

-- 
Samir Umarye

BICHOLIM: Even as the dairy farmers strongly demanded that Goa dairy should
increase their prices of milk the annual meeting of the Bicholim dairy
farmers remained inconclusive with the authorities failing to give any such
assurance to the farmers.

It may be stated that today an annual meeting of the dairy farmers was held
at the government primary school building at Bicholim. About 50 farmers
were present for the meeting. Some of the farmers raised concern over the
fact that most of the farmers have stopped supply of milk to Goa Dairy and
have diverted to another private dairy originally from Gujarat.The farmers
demanded that Goa Dairy should look into this fact and raise the price
given to farmers.

The Managing Director of Goa Dairy, Dr Sawant was also present for the
meeting. As per the sources the private dairy has started two outlets in
Bicholim which has severely affected the supply of milk to Goa Dairy in
Bicholim. "Goa Dairy is giving us very less price for the milk while the
other dairy are giving us almost double the price as compared to Goa dairy
so many of them have stopped giving milk to Goa Dairy" Rohidas Gad stated.

Some of the farmers supply milk to both the dairies and what has angered
the farmers is the fact that Goa Dairy has also stopped fodder given to
them on concessional rate. "On one side Goa Dairy is giving us low rate at
the same time they have now stopped the fodder supplied to the farmers
stating that we are supplying our milk to another dairy. If we are getting
better rate at some other place why shouldn't we take the benefit?"
questioned a farmer.

When contacted the Goa Dairy MD, Dr Sawant claimed that there is no effect
of some other dairy on them. "Today it was a very good meeting and several
of the farmers raised their demands with us. I would put forth their
grievances before the board of directors and we would take the right
decision" Dr Sawant told.

"There is no effect of entry of some other dairy in Goa. We are in profit
and last year we had collected 68000 litre per day while this year we are
collecting 79000 litres of milk every day" Dr Sawant told "I request all
those who have gone to some other dairy to come back to Goa dairy and we
welcome them."

[Goanet] Fifth Sunday of Lent

[Jude Botelho]

13-Mar-2018
Dear Friend,
We live in uncertain times and we are never sure of what is going to happen to 
the world and to ourselves. While most soldiers and their leaders are never 
certain of whether they would come back triumphant, alive or dead, from the 
battles they face, Jesus, as he prepared to face his passion and death, was 
certain of His Father’s love and the ultimate victory that the Father promised 
him. We too can be certain that the Father’s love will never fail us! Have an 
affirming weekend! -Fr. Jude
Sun. Refl. 5th Sunday of Lent “God’s love is eternal. His death renews life! ” 
18-Mar-2018Jer: 31: 31-34;          Heb. 5: 7-9;          John 12: 20-33;

Today’s passage from Jeremiah provides comfort to the people in the midst of 
his gloomy predictions. The comforting part was the fact that Yahweh was going 
to make a New Covenant in the new and final age of salvation. This New Covenant 
would be God-centered and like the Old it would involve the people of God in 
the response shown to God’s law. But the New Covenant would last forever and it 
would not be written on stone tablets or in books but on men’s hearts, as God 
would intervene directly. All this ‘newness’ would be made possible because God 
would create ‘a new heart’ for his people and give them ‘a new spirit.’ “I will 
be their God and they shall be my people.”

How I would love to know you!Once there was a salt doll that lived so far 
inland that she had never seen the sea. Consumed with a desire to see the sea 
she walked hundreds of miles towards the ocean. At last she arrived and she 
stood by the seashore; enraptured by the wonder of what she saw she cried out, 
“O Sea, how I would love to know you!” To her surprise and delight the sea 
responded to her, “To know me you must touch me.” So the little salt doll 
walked towards the sea and as she advanced into the oncoming tide she saw to 
her horror that her toes began to disappear. Then as her feet began to 
disappear she cried out, “O Sea, what are you doing to me?” The sea replied, 
“If you desire to know me fully you must be prepared to give something of 
yourself.” As the doll advanced further into the water her limbs and then her 
body began to disappear and as she became totally dissolved she cried out, “Now 
at last, I know the sea!”James A Feeban from ‘Story Power’
In the Gospel we see Jesus speaking of his forthcoming passion and death not 
with fear, but with hope and promise. We are told that a small group of Greeks 
came to John and expressed their desire to meet Jesus. “They wanted to see 
Jesus”. Andrew knew that no one who desired to meet Jesus would be a bother and 
so they approached him. Jesus begins by stating “Now the hour has come for the 
Son of Man to be glorified.” Jesus’ message here is that the way to glory for 
Jesus and for all of us is death to self. Jesus challenges a worldly way of 
living. Spelling out his form of discipleship, he points out that it is not 
enough to be Jesus’ fans.  We become his followers when we try to live like him 
and for him. Jesus interrupts his trend of thought with the confession of his 
own fear. It is human to feel fear in the face of great trials and suffering. 
Courage is not the denial of fear but rather knowing enough of what is to come 
and yet doing what you have to do. Once we begin to love we open ourselves to 
pain as well as to joy. When Jesus says; “Father glorify your name!” what Jesus 
is saying is “Father use me as you will! What God did for Jesus, he will do for 
everybody. In times of crisis God is glorifying us, and we should be ready to 
say, “Use me as you will!” For Jesus the hour of being lifted up on the cross 
was also the hour of being lifted up in glory. All who share in being lifted up 
on their crosses will also be lifted up in glory in Him.
Facing one’s fearOne of his biographers tells us that Dr. Martin Luther King 
knew many low moments. One night, for instance, his house was bombed. This 
literally plunged him into the deepest pit of despair –he hit rock bottom. In a 
state of utter exhaustion and desperate dejection he fell down on his knees and 
figuratively threw himself into the arms of God. This is how he prayed: “Lord I 
have taken a stand for what I believe is right. But now I’m afraid. The people 
are looking to me for leadership. If I stand before them without strength and 
courage, they too will falter. But I’m at the end of my powers. I have nothing 
left. I can’t face it any longer.” In other words, that was Martin Luther 
King’s Gethsemane. But, like Jesus, he went on to add, “I experienced the 
presence of God in a way like I had never experienced before. And that was the 
only factor that enabled me to carry on regardless of the outcome.”J. 
Valladares in ‘Your Words are Spirit and they are Life’
Unless a grain diesSeveral years ago Catherine Marshall wrote an article called 
“When We Dare to Trust God.” It told how she had been bed-bound for six months 
with a serious

[Goanet] Who are the bigger rogues?

[Sandeep Heble]

Who are the bigger rogues?

Today, everyone is making fun of Mickey. Fine, he deserves it. He had no
business to drive his vehicle on the beach. But no matter how crude,
uncouth and rough Micky might be in his behaviour, but still he's far
better than some of the present day ministers who are far worse
extortionists. Just to give one illustration one such Minister was not even
willing to spare the founding father of his own party and demanded money in
lakhs for otherwise routine Power (Load) approval. Corruption is a cancer
that eats away a citizen's faith in a democracy. Today, people are losing
faith in institutions and in the Government itself because of the rampant
prevailing corruption that is happening, under the instructions of such
Ministers. When you accept such mercenaries in the party to swell your
numbers, then there's no option but to ignore such things as part of
political compulsion. That is the nature of politics today. BJP's tallest
leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee once said, " there can be no compromise
regarding corruption". But today, Goa's politics is proving him wrong. Mickey
can be taken care of but who will tame such Ministers?

warm regards,

Sandeep Heble
