Re: [Goanet] Jurament (An Oath)

[Edward Verdes]

Thanks Roland but the singers name in the video is not given.

The song is actually a Kant from M.Boyers Tiatr 'Adim Tem Antam Hem'
the story based on 'Tiklem' girl.
I remember having watched this tiatr and Antonette singing the kant
but in this video version they have changed some words.
eg Gulfantlea duddvanim was actually Bahrainchea Libranim
and last line was 'Chittir boroilam tem maka Ponnje dokhear kiteak
sanglemnam'
I have the lyrics of the song on my blog as it was sung by Antonette. It
was popular song
those days and was sung for picnics etc.
https://edskantaram.blogspot.com/2020/05/hits-of-80s.html

This was also confirmed to me by one Sarah Medeira, who acted in place
of Antonette in Nairobi in 1973, when M.Boyer and C.Alvares had the show
there.

Edward Verdes

May be there was no place for the Gomantak Times in a crowded marketplace. 

Please let us know what they did that O Heraldo and the Navhind Times don’t do, 
or what is their niche or advantage.

[Goanet-News] Race, medicine and the late Portuguese empire: the role of Goan colonial physicians

[Goanet Reader]

Cristiana Bastos has written this chapter [in the Institute of Germanic &
Romance Studies Volume 5 Number 1 2005 ISSN 1473–3536]

  This article discusses the production and diffusion
  of racialist theories within the Portuguese empire
  by focusing on a particular group of colonial
  subjects: the Indo-Portuguese physicians trained at
  Medical School of Goa.  Not fitting into the
  colonizers/colonized duality, those physicians held
  important roles in the health services of the
  Portuguese colonies but were excluded from
  leadership.  Their contribution to the production
  and reproduction of the racialized views of the
  world needed to run the empire adds complexity and
  substance to the arguments against the
  lusotropicalist ideas about race relations in the
  Portuguese empire.

Keywords: Portuguese colonialism; Goa; medicine;
race; empire; lusotropicalism; colonial physicians

See the paper at:
*https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Cristiana_Bastos/publication/320480593_Race_medicine_and_the_late_Portuguese_Empire_the_role_of_Goan_colonial_physicians/links/5b0c1366aca2725783eb2bbc/Race-medicine-and-the-late-Portuguese-Empire-the-role-of-Goan-colonial-physicians.pdf
*

She writes: "I will discuss two examples: Arthur Gama, a Goan
physician who served in nineteenth-century colonial
Mozambique, and Germano Correia, also a physician and a
physical anthropologist who, in the first half of the
twentieth-century, published a number of works on race and
adaptation to the tropics.  Their manuscript and printed
works show a racialized society where hierarchies were
naturalized on the basis of physical differences."

As the author explains: "At first glance, the Goa Medical
School could be interpreted as an 'instrument' of
colonialism, and Goan doctors as the colonial handmaidens of
a system emanating from Lisbon with branches throughout
Africa and Asia.

"Only when the Portuguese administration developed an active
Africanist colonial policy, in the aftermath of the Berlin
Conference (1884-85) and the European 'scramble for Africa',
did the Goan doctors acquire visibility on the map and in the
ideological project of Portuguese colonialism.  From then on,
service in the colonial health apparatus became the raison
d’être and legitimization of the Medical School's existence."

She gives some interesting facts and figures:

School, 1846=1956

[Goanet] Art of Headlning

[Eddie D'Sa]

Thoughtful of you, Roland, to bring up the question of  upgrading Goa Net.
FN has nursed his baby since 1994 and it has attracted a huge variety of Goans, 
local and overseas.
All sort of topics have been covered. Literature has perhaps been a special 
interest but there is also the popular Book Club.
Though the Book Club is focused on Literature, it is has one great advantage 
over GoaNet in that it accepts posts in a wide variety of formats whereas 
GoaNet, like a poor cousin, can only accept text.
That means, for example, that you cannot have  an image in GoaNet or bold text.
This is an odd unfortunate aberration and I hope it can be corrected.

[Goanet] farewell salute to GT

[Nelson Lopes]

FAREWELL  SALUTE TO GT

 Through tempest and storm GT stood tall,

 Sad that COVID 19 is perceived cause of its fall,

Rumours, posts, whispers heard by all,

The Management to shut  GT, takes the call.



Loyal readers let down, in despair shed a tear,

A daily that fought tooth and nail without fear,

Bad management or resources not clear’,

 Obituaries float in social media, predict end is near .

.

GT survived long with lowest price tag,

Provided excellent coverage, without need to brag,

It covered National, International and local news,

A popular forum for readers to express views.



GT provided best platform for heroes unsung,

Budding, nonprofessional writers at lower rung,

Works of Organizations, individuals brought to light,

Contributions, achievements that were out of sight.



GT featured plights, highlighted societies need,

 Motivated not by revenues or advertisement greed,

Often it premiered, headlined important news feed,

GT among English dailies boasts of a  special breed.



 Renowned journalist, columnist admired on GT roles,

Motivated nor enamored, or lured by  payment doles,

Articles, stories, news, loyal readers were  attracted,

GT focus  is on common man,   that`s how  readers reacted.



GT on loyal readers had definite positive impact,

Ethics not largesse of politics kept its image intact,

 Amongst English dailies, stood its perfect ground,

 Staff and management in recent years turned it around,



Officially no announcement of farewell salute made,

Readers and loyal followers hope it will not fade,

Reporters, agents, staff requests  GT not to wind,

 Increase  revenues, advertisements, circulation need to find.



Weekender on Sunday`s was a pleasant break and joy,

Every section of readers,on  women, fashion, and food did enjoy,

Focus on Centre spread broke interesting grounds new,

Admired, appreciated by all, not limited or selected few.



Rumoursrant the air, closure by end May,

GT/Weekender should not vanish this way,

Consider hurt feelings, GT readers morning miss.

If  GT is in comma, loyal readers ,salute with farewell kiss

[Goanet] The Goan Doctor & The Plague

[Mervyn Maciel]

Hi Augusto,

Enjoyed reading Selma's article.
I remember Dr. Ribeiro & his wife very well as my Dad often
took us (youngsters) to their home.
  Your mention of the "Hole in the Wall" pub  took me back
to the time I used to come down to Nairobi from my
frontier post; invariably my friend and I would end up
at the 'Hole in the Wall'.
Thanks for the memory.

[Goanet] The Late Arch SARTO Almeida

[Adolfo Mascarenhas]

  Dear Antonio Menezes thank you for your  Message-ID: <
capenun2ath7k82djezt+cfq-bnlmr7+st0kbprcwrw5fp46...@mail.gmail.com>

of Thursday , 28 May 2020 11:16:10 +0530



My sympathies May Architect Sarto Almeida R.I.P.



First,  I myself come from Dar es Salaam and knew Anthony Almeida.  He was
remarkable just like his brother, Elsewhere  I describe my accidental “””
Discovery”””  of Ana Fonte  Gardens, right in the middle of Margao. Now I
must see the International Centre at Dona Paula !!



Secondly,  the other major information I acquired was that  Sarto's and
Tony's paternal grandmother hailed from the family of Advocate Laurente
Menezes who himself was a Professor of Latin language, Administrator of Diu
Municipality and sometimes  was an Acting Judge.



Thirdly, while this makes me understand the Almeida Menezes connection.
...I think that they may have started in Bagamoyo, which was the capital of
German East Africa, until it was shifted to Dar es Salaam in 1905.


FOURTHLY I hope I can make a Tanzanian Goan Interested in what took place
in that sleepy town.  It was a major slave terminal before African from the
interior were transferred to the plantations in Zanzibar and elsewhere.
Bagamoyo means :::Here we Lay Our Hearts:::



When I get back to Dar es Salaam, I hope soon, I will share the information
with Tony’s Daughter Alison Da Silva .


Kind Regards

[Goanet] Love And Hate

[Roland Francis]

Doing the rounds as a competition winner of a poem that has a romantic line, 
followed by the next one speaking the poet’s mind. Definitely not an 
accompanying note to the wife on your anniversary.

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife,
Marrying you messed up my life.
I see your face when I am dreaming,
That’s why I always wake up screaming.
Kind, intelligent, loving and hot,
That describes everything you’re not.
I love your smile, your face and your eyes,
Damn I’m good at telling lies.
My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe “Go to hell!”
What inspired this amazing rhyme?
A bottle of Feni, salt and lime.

Roland.

[Goanet] Arch SARTO ALMEIDA

[Adolfo Mascarenhas]

My Sister in Law, who buys the Herald was mentioning an Almeida who had
died...Later when that night when I saw the paper, I was very surprised
It was as if SARTO was ### Tony's twin Brother.  Completely look
alike.  No mistake and both Architects   and both conscious of
incorporating the landscape.

A few weeks ago, while I was in Margao, waiting for Grace Hospital to open,
I stepped out of the car.and walked down...  a few steps...there was grass
and water and a small bridge and a little stream that seemingly disappeared
into no where. and I wondered who was the genius who designed this place of
peace and beauty Now I Know

When the two Boys lost their mother .they actually went to St.
Josephs.. it was right across the street ...The Light House, until their
father took them to Bangalore and University Education in Bombay.

# # #. Tony was considered among the best Architect in Africa ..and won the
Prince Klaus Prize .. He broke the racial barrier  in the early 1950's
..before that all public buildings (Police Stations, Govt schools Colleges
etc  had to be drawn by whites.

[Goanet] Joachim Joseph A. Campos (1893-1945),

Message: 7  Date: Thu, 28 May 2020 16:04:02 +0530
From: Frederick Noronha 

To: Goanet , goa-book-c...@googlegroups.com
Subject: [Goanet] Joaquim Joseph A Campos, author and editor...

Fred:

Thank you very much for the Article and the links contained  in Message -ID:





on Joaquim Joseph A. Campos.


One Your message comes on a day when I decided that I would meet a Goan
from Pemba/Zanzibar . We were talking about Goans and languages ...Roland
was fluent in Spanish, Kiswahili, Arabic and picked up enough Portuguese
when they arrived in Goa after the revolution.


Two Several things puzzle me about  J.J.A. Campos, When did he go to Kenya
and what was he doing there to be sent to Siam in 1945 ...The war was still
going on...was he there as a translator to East African soldiers in the Far
East..


Third, I will have to find out what made him go to Bengal Portugese
Presence Maybe !!


Campos is treated as if he was a half caste .I suppose like most people
Goans come in various shades of BROWN ...


Finally when there are so many interesting of life around us why the
squabbles about religion and the really bad poetry sometimes even written
by a drivers son contribute and add .   to the confusion.

[Goanet] The Art Of Headlining

[Roland Francis]

Very few practise the art of headlining when posting on 
Goanet.

A short and effective headline grabs attention. A long boring headline puts off 
a reader. Talking of long boring headlines I see some running into several rows 
which is absolutely disgusting. It tells me the poster has not used the gift of 
thinking or respecting the effort of the reader in determining whether he or 
she should read the post.

While some people are chronic defaulters in this respect, others have in the 
recent past put their entire post in the headline itself. Still others put 
their post all in capital letters. This not only screams at the reader, it 
shows a complete lack of sensitivity.

It all this continues, one can expect Goanet to be seen as a discussion board 
of people with disordered thoughts and even worse penmanship.

Come on folks. Please enhance the quality of Goanet at least in this little way.

Roland.

[Goanet] Susana Sardo, a Portuguese ethnomusicologist, who reluctantly fell in love with Goan music

[Bernado Colaco]

 After April 25 1974 Portugal produced a bunch of illiterates in their 
universities especially in terms of having knowledge of Portuguese past 
history. I am often asked by post 1974 Portuguese : Goa must be beautiful with 
beaches and drugs. People have bombastic titles such as visiting professors etc 
but in fact are a bunch of nabos.

Susana Sardo is Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology at University of
Aveiro - Portugal and has recently been Visiting Research Professor at Goa
University -India for the J. H. Cunha Rivara Chair. Since 1987, she has
carried out field work in Goa, especially about music performed by the
Catholic community. Her research interests include music and
post-colonial approach,

Re: [Goanet] [Goanet-News] Susana Sardo, a Portuguese ethnomusicologist, who reluctantly fell in love with Goan music

[Susana Sardo]

Frederick transformed himself in a "sound paparazzi"!
It is important to say that this clip was taken at Saligão Institute, on the 
14th of January, during a workshop on gumatt. Knowing my interest in the 
developments of music in Goa, Rico included me in a quite vibrant whatsapp 
group that is involved in a very impressive movement of revitalizing mandó in 
Saligão. For me, this was a wonderful opportunity of being introduced to the 
group and I want to thank Rico for that. Without his help, I would not come 
across this initiative, and I wouldn't meet Norma Cordeiro or Simon (Simão) 
Fernandes who opened the field to other opportunities.
Thank you to all of you!
I hope all are safe and healthy in these uncertain times…..

[Goanet] Selma's article on 'The Goan Doctor and the Plague'

[augusto pinto]

I felt a tinge of nostalgia when I read Selma's article in the Herald
titled The Goan Doctor and the Plague because if memory serves me
correctly, I used to live on Campos-Ribeiro Road atop the piquantly named
Hole in the Wall bar.

I wonder whether it still exists.

[Goanet] LA Espera (The Waiting) Katie James & Camilo Giraldo - Casa Palma Acústicos

[Roland Francis]

Katie James and Camilo Giraldo sing this song about the wait of a woman for 
someone she loves but does not approach. So she gets butterflies in her stomach 
when he passes by but her blood turns to honey when he is late.

35 year old Katie James was born in Ireland but when she was two years old her 
family moved to Colombia where she grew up and lives presently. She graduated 
from Bogotá University where she studied music and musical arrangements.

[Goanet] WARPED PRIORITIES

[John Eric Gomes]

THE TERRIBLE COST OF HASTY DECISIONS
It is not in public interest to make quick unplanned major decisions being 
unaware of the fallout and problems of implementation where the human cost 
extracted will be terrible especially for the poor and marginalized including 
the lower middle class which in India are the vast unseen majority! This was 
the case with demonitization where suddenly everyone including tourists were 
stranded, people suffered great hardships and even some deaths as a 
consequence, the aim after all the risks not being realised except for 
comparatively marginal benifits to the goverment. No lessons learnt! No 
consequences for the decision makers. Again pains for business and commerce 
with hasty implementation of GST.  Now where was the need to abruptly impose 
lockdown after 8PM giving no time for States or anyone to plan anything! People 
were suddenly stranded with no transport in other States and areas, families 
cut off, and no plan about feeding those imprisoned in their homes/places alien 
to them, access to money, food and water made difficult. All lives suddenly 
disrupted with the disastrous commercial and migrant problems absolutely not 
factored in! Thereafter unilateral ideas with powerful politicians denying 
bus/train transport to suffering migrants on trumped up technicalities when a 
little less ego and cooperation was a vital humanitarion priority. Whilst Union 
Minister/VIPs skip quarantine rules blatently stating "stipulation does not 
apply to those holding responsible posts", a 5 year old flies alone to reunite 
with his mother after 3 months with his grandparents due to sudden 
implementation of lockdown. The avoidable confusion on openning of local air 
travel after SOP confusion and mess up in trains for migrants with terrible 
human costs defines present state of affairs! This is also seen in the 
uninformed closure of T-Junction at Dabolim airport circle resulting in chaos 
and forcing general public to use the grade separator resulting in 
inconvenience and extra mileage for all traffic.

[Goanet] Flamenco - Buleria

[Roland Francis]

Definitely the best flamenco music I have ever heard. It can’t get any more 
natural and real than this, with little dancing to distract except for a spot 
at the end which fits in nicely and with only voice and guitars. Bound to give 
you an AHA moment.

Estrella Morente, Isabel Golondrina and Aurora Carbonell do the vocal honours 
but Estrella the young beauty, carries the buleria (12 beat flamenco) 
throughout with an intensity worthy of hearing in person.

Much the same pleasure as sitting in the hall of a old and majestic house on a 
village Goa evening with old folk playing and singing mandos with passion.

[Goanet] Charles Correa's A Place In The Shade: The New Landscape & Other Essays (Amazon.in)

[Frederick Noronha]

A Place In The Shade: The New Landscape & Other Essays Paperback – 1
January 2018
"A Place in the Shade explores architectural and urban issues in India,
from the house as a machine for dealing with our often hostile climate, to
the metaphysical role of architecture as a Model of the Cosmos. This
reflective, provocative and consistently readable collection of essays
argues that our habitat must respond to the over-riding parameters of
climate, culture and financial resources — and that our physical
environment should accommodate notions of inclusion and diversity, and that
priceless quality of synergy which characterizes the city. Charles Correa
identifies the defining issues of the urbanization process that is so
rapidly transforming India. He writes, ‘You cannot look at cities without
wandering into architecture on the one hand and politics on the other.’
Tragically, over the last few decades, urban real estate has become the
primary source of financing for political parties and the politicians who
run them. But our towns and cities are assets too precious to be squandered
in this manner. Like the wheat fields of Punjab and the coal fields of
Bihar, cities are a crucial part of our national wealth. Their success — or
their failure — will determine our future." This anthology of Correa's
essays, along with The New Landscape are seminal writings and are mopre
relevant than ever today.
