Photo Blog by Rajan Parrikar has posted a new item, 'The Nipple and The
Thumb'

An orographic study.

Two iconic mountains: Vaðalfjöll in the West and Þóristindur in the
south-central Highlands of Iceland. Like so many other mountains in
Iceland, these present markedly different profiles depending on the
viewing direction.

[Goanet] Macher Jhol (Fish Curry)

[Roland Francis]

Fish curry is no less important to the Bengali as it is to the Goan. 

Bengalis in fact share several things with Goans:
Similar language words
Love for fish 
Coastlines
Pursuit of intelligence
Pretty women
Political passion 
Musical talent

So when Swapan Dutta sings about fish, we hear.

Keep a sharp ear for those Bengali pronunciations of English words - 
tantalizing.

[Goanet] Bombay Names

[Roland Francis]

Indian racism is common knowledge, but what many don’t know is that they are 
racists even with each other.

Here are some common derogatory name-expletives:

Bengalis: Bongs or Chotto Babus (minor pedants)

Parsees: Bawajees or Ghelchodios (mad fornicators)

Goans: Maa Ka Paos: (sounds like mother*** but as someone consolingly told 
me it means “I want bread”).

Tamil Brahmins: Tam-brams (always screwing with other people’s jobs)

Anglo Indians: Ek din ka raja (king for a day, pauper for a month).

Gujaratis: Gujjus or grass-eaters.

Keralites: Coconut Oils (women drown their lush hair in it, also they have 
assets like coconuts).

All North Indians: Bhaiyas (people with not so dignified jobs).

Andhras: Annas (pronounced un-naaz)

North-Easterners: Chinkies (slant eyes).

[Goanet] The First Hindu Principal

[Roland Francis]

St Xavier’s College will soon have its first non-Jesuit, non-Catholic head 
since 1869 when the current principal Agnelo Menezes gives up his position to 
Rajendra Shinde in September this year.

Many Goanetters have studied at this august institution.

[Goanet] Who is afraid of the F-word?

[Joao Barros-Pereira]

The other day a friend of mine used the F-word and a linguist  chided
him and said: Don't use the F-word! For me it was a Zen experience;
for in that moment I became aware of how far he was behind the times.
The F-word is no longer the F-word.

All things change, the French never tire of reminding us, except
change itself. So, I said to my friend's critic: Sir, you are
mistaken. The newest F-word is not what you think it is: the newest,
is fish!

No Goan has ever been awakened so rudely until a couple of weeks ago
from his slumber in the middle of the night; yes, it is the recent
fomalin fish scare that has broken to pieces the famous Goan spirit:
Goans are having sleepless nights! People nowadays have nightmares  of
all kinds of fish - big and small - purple and blackish, and other
colors, too. They wake up at night in a cold sweat, cussing and
cursing  and screaming the latest F-word: fish!

And then, suddenly, sitting on a cloud of coal dust appears Dr Joe
D'Sousa, a professor and retired Head of the Department of
Microbiology of the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO). He
speaks the language of science, and is an expert in the field. He says
the Goa FDA cannot detect formalin which occurs naturally in the body
of fish as they do not have the necessary sophisticated equipment to
detect it. He says what they have detected is fomalin which does not
naturally occur in fish. In other words, it has been added to the
fish. That is an expert's opinion.

As the clock strikes eerily at midnight, a lakh and more people awaken
and scream in unison in their sleep: We, the people of Goa, cannot
allow the import of fish and the control of fish and the distribution
of fish by the same people who have been poisoning our parents and
siblings and Goan friends and others who live or holiday in Goa (for
how long this has been going on is anybody's guess!) These wicked
people should not be allowed to bring any more fish into Goa. This is
the price the people who have been poisoning Goans, and others in Goa,
have to pay for their fomalin fishy business!

No more fish from outside Goa, and no more exports. Hotels and
restaurants which serve fish to tourists and others can,  in future,
be assured of fresh and healthy fish caught by Goans in Goa. Come to
Goa everyone to eat fresh and safe fish caught and sold by Goans. Help
stabilize the Goan economy, and Goans in return will help you visitors
enjoy fresh, safe, and cheaper fish. An international tourism
philosophy of give-and-take and interdependence.

With safe fish the tourism and fishing industries will boom and boom.
We need to make public how we refuse to accept fish from outside Goa,
no more fishy fish business. Goans at present are in doubt and
wondering if Goa's Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar who is being
treated for cancer is going to become our state's iconic victim of
fomalin poisoning? Did he get cancer from eating fomalin-friendly
fish? How many otters have died of cancer because of fomalin? A lot of
questions are waiting to be asked and it is not even Question Hour.

While Sudin Dhavalikar is famously afraid of the bikini the majority
of Goans are fixated on the four letter F-word, fish. It has become an
issue involving the public and several government departments; mostly,
the Health Department, physical and mental.

I'm told in the Middle East and other Muslim countries the worst
insult you can lay on a man is to call him a dog. But, in Goa, our
culture is different as we are a unique blend of East and West -
Portuguese and Indian. People from all over the world, and Indians
from ll over the country also visit Goa to enjoy this rich cultural
cocktail, and even get drunk on it at times.

I have heard a few of my friends insult each other in this way: You
are a fish! Great humor and irony must have a cultural and social
context, and so no Goan needs an explanation to understand the lethal
nature of the insult. With the formalin scare spreading ominously its
wings similar to an Edgar Allen Poe horror story even foreigners in
Goa are getting a necessary re-education regarding the F-word.

Languages, as we know, change and words take on new meanings and
usage; to make use of a cliche, the world is now a global village and
neighborhood, and our neighbor could be someone from anywhere in the
world.

Linguists don't need to tell us the obvious or give us a language
lesson. Linguists, in my opinion, are people who waste our time
teaching us what we already know! And, they never stop.

If ever a linguist wastes my time, I know what to say to him: You are a fish!
