[Goanet] Bible verse for the Day

2020-05-06 Thread Devak Argham
Psalms 1:1-3


1 Blessed is the man who does not walk
in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the way of sinners,
nor sit in company with scoffers.

2 Rather, the law of the LORD is his joy;
and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 He is like a tree
planted near streams of water,
that yields its fruit in season;
Its leaves never wither;
whatever he does prospers.

Thank you Agnetha for this song.
Thank you Anni-Frid, Björn and Benny for the music.

As an ABBA fan put it “You made my life beautiful when I was young, but like 
many others, I didn’t know to appreciate you or the young age I had then”.

Among the pantheon of their beautiful songs, this is one of the best. The last 
masterpiece before their story ended.

I have lived in Goa, since immediate Liberation and at that time I have
seen letters addressed to Panjim city or Panaji as it is known today
addressed as Cidade de Goa.

But if you are a man of the cloth, or a plain bible thumper, why are you

Lindsey Stirling from Arizona is a violinist, singer, songwriter and dancer. 
Born in a rural family with modest means, they were able to afford giving 
Lindsey only ‘half lessons’ but being a very artistic child, she learned to 
play the violin from age 5 and later choreograph her dance moves for video for 
which she is well known.

Here she visits Kenya and is amazed by the peace, laughter and happiness of the 
tribal people who have so little and manage with even less.

[Goanet] CM PRAMOD SAWANT MAY HAVE MEANT BEACH SHACKS AND NOT BEACH SEX

2020-05-06 Thread Aires Rodrigues
Addressing the Press Goa’s accidental Chief Minister Pramod Sawant may have
yesterday goofed up big time when he clearly said that there will be no
Beach Sex in Goa until 17th May when that lock-down will be over.

Knowing the Chief Minister’s very weak knowledge and grasp of English, let
us very fairly give him that benefit of doubt as what he may have actually
meant could have been Beach Shacks and not Beach Sex.

To err is human and if I were Pramod Sawant, I would have made amends
without blaming my English teachers.

Leave alone the ayurvedic practitioner Pramod Sawant, even our former Chief
Minister Manohar Parrikar despite being an IIT had multiple spelling and
grammatical mistakes galore in even the three line file notings he wrote.
Many of those records which I obtained under RTI have been kept safely in
my archives. Let posterity be abreast of the skewed intellectual acumen of
our politicians including the Chief Ministers in India’s most literate
State. God Save Our Goa from further Intellectual decay.

[Goanet] A Whiter Shade of Pale

2020-05-06 Thread Roland Francis
One of the more enduring songs from the Sixties, this Procol Harum hit was a 
single released when they were a relatively unknown British band. It was 
inspired by a classical organ part derived from Bach. 

The band’s singer Gary Brooker wrote the music, Mathew Fisher’s Hammond organ 
pierces the air and Keith Reid the band’s lyricist wrote the words that 
confound fans to this day.

This is a version by Annie Lennox a Scottish singer, songwriter, political 
activist and philanthropist who started out with a new wave band called The 
Tourist in the seventies but with Dave Stewart formed The Eurythmics and 
achieved international success in the eighties.

Teflachem Humón: The Story of a Fish and A Berry

By Aaron Savio Lobo
aaronlob...@gmail.com
WhatsApp: +91 83089 39019

Aaron Savio Lobo writes about
the relationship between the
tefflan berry (a close cousin
of the Sichuan peppercorn), the
spawning season for several
Indian oily fish, and the
wonderful dish made with the two.

There are several ways to prepare a good Goan fish curry, but
one of my favourites is teflachem humón, a delicious Goan
Hindu-style preparation.

Humón or koddi is the Konkani word for curry, and tefflan
(also known as tirphal, teppal; chiphal in Marathi; and
tejphal in Hindi) are peppercorn-like berries, from the
Indian Prickly Ash (Zanthoxylum rhetsa), a forest tree common
in Goa's Western Ghats as well as many other parts of the
Indian sub-continent.  The tree is easily recognisable by its
white corky bark studded with large conical thorns.  It has a
beautiful shiny green crown of leaves, which it begins to
shed as the weather begins to warm up.

Reminiscent of the Pac-Man video game, the berry's husk
imparts a unique citrusy zing to the curry, which marries
well with other spices including chillies, turmeric,
tamarind, kokum and coconut milk, both wild or locally
cultivated.

The species belongs to the citrus family that also includes
lemons, limes, grapefruit, oranges etc.  Biting into a fresh
husk can leave the tongue and lips tingling and numb.  The
tingly-numbing sensation is attributed to compounds called
sanshools present in the husks.  In fact, the well-known 'ma
la' flavour (In Cantonese, 'ma' is to numb, and 'la' means
spicy), signature to Chinese Sichuan cuisine, is actually
attributed to the Sichuan pepper Zanthoxylum simulans, a
close cousin of the tefflan.

  This spice is best paired with oily fish like the
  Indian mackerel, oil sardine and the smaller tuna
  species, as the acids in the berry, along with
  those along with those of the tamarind and kokum
  significantly cut through the fishy flavours
  typical to some of these fish.  However, it is best
  not paired with larger, less 'fishy' varieties such
  as Silver Pomfret or freshwater fish, as the berry
  quickly overpowers their more delicate flavours.

NEW FLUSH OF LEAVES ON A NAKED TREE

In Goa, and along other parts of the Konkan, the naked
(leafless) tree begins to sprout a shiny new flush of leaves
by the end of April. This is followed quickly by the
blooming of flowers, and then fruits.

The berries, borne in bunches, are collected and dried.  The
dried dark olive green berries are then used year-round.

They are, however, at their most flavourful when bright green
and fresh, as the sanshools begin to decompose when exposed
to moisture and the sun's UV rays.  It is interesting that
this time of year also coincides with the ripening of other
fruits and spices that are essential for teflachem humón
curry.  For example, the kokam fruit also begins to ripen in
late April.

And it isn't just the berry and the spices, the spawning
season for oily fish like the Indian mackerel and sardine in
the Arabian Sea, also peak around the same time (mid-April
onwards).  Although these fish lay their eggs in the open
ocean, the South West monsoon winds and the corresponding
oceanic currents transport them to the more sheltered coastal
waters, which increase their chances of survival.

The upwelling currents typical to this season churn up
nutrients from the depths of the ocean, bringing them to the
surface and allowing phytoplankton (microscopic marine
algae), the major food of these species, to bloom while the
resulting fish populations flourish.

  The end of summer marks the end of the fishing
  season along the west coast, as the winds pick up
  and churn the seas.  In the decades before
  industrial fishing in Goa (1970s), large schools of
  these surface-swimming fish would venture into
  nearshore waters, and mouth of the Mandovi and
  Zuari rivers during this time of the year.  Here,
  they were caught, using traditional fishing methods
  such as the rampon (shore seines) and maag, the
  floating gill nets used to catch surface shoaling
  species.

The use of the tefflan berry goes beyond its culinary value.
It is known that plants evolved a range of aromatic compounds
as a strategy to keep predators and pests at bay.  The same
is probably true for the Zanthoxylums.

Tefflan berries are known to have a range of alkaloids and
essential oils capable of hindering bacteria, parasitic worms
and fungal infections, which probably helped earlier
generations store curries longer without refrigeration.

  In Goa, the berries are added to stored paddy
  (rice) as they are known to keep away weevils, a
  common pest in these parts.  The chemical extracts
  are also known to have antioxidants and pain
  alleviating compounds,

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

RANEE NORONHA died in Bangalore, of a sudden heart attack on
the morning of May 4, 2020.  Tracing her roots to Mangalore,
she and her husband Cecil Noronha (a former IAS officer) had
spent many years in Goa in the 1980s, when Cecil was Chairman
of the Mormugao Port Trust, in the course of which they made
many friends from among Goan intellectuals.

Ranee [Peris] studied at Loreto Convent, Calcutta, and
secured a B.A. and B.Ed. from Calcutta University.  She
taught for some year prior to her marriage.

  During their Goa posting in the 1980s, Ranee
  obtained an M.A.  degree in English Literature,
  after studying at the Goa University in the
  mid-eighties.  Durng their Delhi posting in the
  early 1990s, she was Vice-Principal of St Columba's
  School.  She was later Principal of Mallya-Aditi
  International High School, Bangalore, and of
  Dhirubhai Ambani International High School, Mumbai.

Students of the fledging Goa University in the mid-1980s
recall their classmate Ranee, who took her studies in English
literature seriously, in spite of having the responsibilities
of a family.

Her husband Cecil obtained an M.A.  in Economics from Loyola
College, Madras, and a degree in Law from Bangalore
University, before joining the IAS in 1962.  As an I.A.S.
officer, Cecil has held various posts with the state
government (including Secretary of Health, Development and
Revenue) and at the centre (including Vice Chairman of the
Delhi Development Authority) and in the public sector
(including Managing Director of Vishveshvaraya Iron & Steel,
and Chairman, Mormugao Port Trust, Goa.  He retired as Chief
Secretary, Karnataka.

They eventually settled at Cecil's family home at Rest House
Road, Bangalore.

Ranee and Cecil were married at St Patrick's Church,
Bangalore, on 4 Jan 1966.  They had two sons.  Jaideep
Charles (b 12 Oct 1967) m Angeles (Spanish), based in
Cambridge, England, where Jaideep is a Professor of Marketing
at Judge Business School (they have two children Gabriel
Vikram and Alba Sophia), and Jatin John (b.  26 Aug 1980).

  Because of the lockdown, there was no church
  service.  Ranee had expressed a wish for her body
  to be donated to St John's Medical College -- and
  this was done immediately after a short prayer
  service at which only the immediate family and a
  few close friends were present.

Condolences to her husband Cecil or their son Jatin:

(of Camelot, Bijey Church Road, Mangalore 575 004 Tel:

the Mangalorean community, quite a few of whom trace their
ancestral roots and villages to Goa, a fact sometimes not

Missionary priest who left Goa [in the 1960s] dies in Brazil:

THE GOAN Network [Apr 16, 2020].  A Goan Catholic missionary
priest, Mario do Monte Beatriz de Almeida, who was ordained
and then left the State's shores months after the 1961
Liberation from Portuguese rule, died last week of health
complications due to Covid-19 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

  He died on April 10 and was laid to rest the next
  day at the Cemetery of the Holy Sacrament.  An over
  40-year missionary in the Santo Amaro, Brazil,
  Latin America diocese, he is the brother of well
  known Goan priest Saturnino Almeida from Goa Velha.

He was buried sans participation of parishioners due to Covid
19 elated restrictions in force in Sao Paulo. His funeral was
however live-streamed.

Born in Goa on September 8, 1938, Father Almeida got ordained
on Independence Day (August 15), months after the December 19 Liberation of
Goa the previous year.

He then soon left for Brazil as an exchange missionary
post-Vatican II. He was serving as the chaplain of Emilie
Villeneuve School of the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception
of Castres, Sao Paulo, at the time of his death. [Courtesy:

many friends from among Goan intellectuals.

Ranee [Peris] studied at Loreto Convent, Calcutta, and
secured a B.A. and B.Ed. from Calcutta University.  She
taught for some year prior to her marriage.

  During their Goa posting in the 1980s, Ranee
  obtained an M.A.  degree in English Literature,
  after studying at the Goa University in the
  mid-eighties.  Durng their Delhi posting in the
  early 1990s, she was Vice-Principal of St Columba's
  School.  She was later Principal of Mallya-Aditi
  International High School, Bangalore, and of
  Dhirubhai Ambani International High School, Mumbai.

Students of the fledging Goa University in the mid-1980s
recall their classmate Ranee, who took her studies in English
literature seriously, in spite of having the responsibilities
of a family.

Her husband Cecil obtained an M.A.  in Economics from Loyola
College, Madras, and a degree in Law from Bangalore
University, before joining the IAS in 1962.  As an I.A.S.
officer, Cecil has held various posts with the state
government (including Secretary of Health, Development and
Revenue) and at the centre (including Vice Chairman of the
Delhi Development Authority) and in the public sector
(including Managing Director of Vishveshvaraya Iron & Steel,
and Chairman, Mormugao Port Trust, Goa.  He retired as Chief
Secretary, Karnataka.

They eventually settled at Cecil's family home at Rest House
Road, Bangalore.

Ranee and Cecil were married at St Patrick's Church,
Bangalore, on 4 Jan 1966.  They had two sons.  Jaideep
Charles (b 12 Oct 1967) m Angeles (Spanish), based in
Cambridge, England, where Jaideep is a Professor of Marketing
at Judge Business School (they have two children Gabriel
Vikram and Alba Sophia), and Jatin John (b.  26 Aug 1980).

  Because of the lockdown, there was no church
  service.  Ranee had expressed a wish for her body
  to be donated to St John's Medical College -- and
  this was done immediately after a short prayer
  service at which only the immediate family and a
  few close friends were present.

Condolences to her husband Cecil or their son Jatin:
Cecil Noronha 
Jatin Prabhu

the Mangalorean community, quite a few of whom trace their
ancestral roots and villages to Goa, a fact sometimes not
widely known or acknowledged.

Missionary priest who left Goa [in the 1960s] dies in Brazil:

THE GOAN Network [Apr 16, 2020].  A Goan Catholic missionary
priest, Mario do Monte Beatriz de Almeida, who was ordained
and then left the State's shores months after the 1961
Liberation from Portuguese rule, died last week of health
complications due to Covid-19 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

  He died on April 10 and was laid to rest the next
  day at the Cemetery of the Holy Sacrament.  An over
  40-year missionary in the Santo Amaro, Brazil,
  Latin America diocese, he is the brother of well
  known Goan priest Saturnino Almeida from Goa Velha.

He was buried sans participation of parishioners due to Covid
19 elated restrictions in force in Sao Paulo. His funeral was
however live-streamed.

Born in Goa on September 8, 1938, Father Almeida got ordained
on Independence Day (August 15), months after the December 19 Liberation of
Goa the previous year.

He then soon left for Brazil as an exchange missionary
post-Vatican II. He was serving as the chaplain of Emilie
Villeneuve School of the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception
of Castres, Sao Paulo, at the time of his death. [Courtesy:

JOKE OF THE DAY: CHILDREN MISGUIDED?

STEPHEN DIAS
Dona Paula

My son early morning asked me only two questions;
 Daddy why I see so many people wearing masks? You told me when your
operation was performed in the Hospital for hernia that those who are
wearing masks are doctors and nurses and how come there are so many doctors
and nurses on the road? Where is the OT ( operation theatre)?
Dad replied whole Goa is considered OT.
Another question came instantly why don't you go to barber shop and cut
your hair? You look like a gorilla?
Dad replies ; Baba I don't want to go to barber shop as the staff there,
do not wear masks,  gloves and not even sanitized their hands so I don't
want to carry the germs at home. Then why they are open? Even liquor shops
are open. Why don't you now buy hot drinks and enjoy your drink at home?
Again Dad replies,  these shops are open because most of these owners are
relatives of our politicians.
Ok Dad, I understood now. Stay at home I will ask Mummy to cut your hair
while you can enjoy your drink at home and don't go out of the house.
End
