[Goanet] Bible verse for the Day

[Devak Argham]

B.I.B.L.E - Behold I Bring Life Eternal
---


Romans 8:6-8



6 The concern of the flesh is death, but the concern of the spirit is life
and peace.

7 For the concern of the flesh is hostility toward God; it does not submit
to the law of God, nor can it;

8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

[Goanet] Portugal ranks third most peaceful country in the world

[Frederick Noronha]

Portugal is still the third most peaceful country in the world
Portugal ranks first among the countries of the European Union. A report by
the Institute for Economics and Peace found a deterioration in the global
level of peace for the ninth time in twelve years.
Iceland is first, and New Zealand is second.

[Goanet] Camōes Day

[Roland Francis]

From a note:

Today we celebrate the Day of Portugal, Camões and the Portuguese Communities.
 
This year the official celebrations were restricted to a symbolic meeting at 
the Jeronimos Monastery in Lisbon of the 7 higher officers of the State along 
with Cardinal Tolentino de Mendonça, the person chose to organize the 
celebrations of the 10th of June.
 
Nevertheless, across the country and throughout the planet thousands of 
Portuguese citizens celebrate June 10. And, although respecting the sanitary 
rules, there are good reasons to celebrate Portugal and the Portuguese citizens.
 
Our Prime Minister, António Costa, put it right on his message of the 10th June:
 
“Today, I want to address in particular the Portuguese communities abroad.
Each of these Portuguese and Portuguese descendants constitutes an important 
link between Portugal and the world, prolonging the our country far beyond the 
limits of its physical  borders.
They represent us in their host countries with the best we have to show others: 
ability to work, ease of adaptation, generosity and determination necessary to 
overcome adversity. (…)
In difficult and uncertain times, it is important to celebrate – even through 
digital means - the pride of being Portuguese.
It is with determination and hope that I greet you on this date, sure that we 
will meet again soon.
Until then, my hug to all the Portuguese spread throughout the world. We remain 
united by the love of our country, strong and determined to build a better 
future.”
 
The present times are difficult and and the future is uncertain. But we know 
that the Portuguese usually exceed themselves during difficult times.
Today is the day to share with you and your family that I am proud of our 
community and believe that we will survive these difficult times.
 
And it is also the time to share with you our National anthem, beautifully 
interpreted by Nadia Rebelo, a Goan singer that made this National Day much 
better with her contribute. You can see it at https://youtu.be/g74Pe_t-4uM
 
Happy Day of Portugal!

[Goanet] Crisis in the Pune and Goa newspaper industries (Camil Parkhe)

[Goanet Reader]

By Camil Parkhe

camilpar...@gmail.com

I have fought for the implementation of the Palekar Wage
award for journalists and other newspaper employees.  In
1987, I also appeared before the eleven-member Bachchwat Wage
Commission, to argue for better pay scales and facilities for
newspaper employees in the country.  As the general secretary
of the Goa Union of Journalists (GUJ), I was instrumental in
the absorption of a large number of surplus employees post
computerisation or automation in The Navhind Times, Panjim,
where I then worked.

When the Gomantak Marathi daily newspaper, then owned by the
Chougules, summarily retrenched some 19 surplus newspaper
employees in 1987, I took up the matter with the Labour
Commissioner and succeeded in giving better financial package
to the retrenched workers.

I have therefore very strong reasons to be appalled to see
that hundreds of journalists and others are now being sacked,
thrown to the wind, following the closure of the Sakal Times
(in Pune), and the Gomantak Times and many editions of
several other publications in Maharashtra and in the country.

When automation was being introduced in Sakal Media Group in
the 1980s -- the paper had then been acquired from the
Parulekar family by Pawar family -- a large number of
employees were declared surplus.  These included those
involved in the old printing methods.  The Sakal Newspapers
Employees Union, then led by Govindrao Kshirsagar, had stood
firmly with the workers.  Resultantly, the management trained
the surplus employees in new jobs works or absorbed them in
other posts.

  We in English-language The Navhind Times daily and
  the Marathi Navprabha publications, owned by the
  Dempos, followed the Sakal Model when the
  management introduced automation in the mid-1980s.
  Ramesh Naik, our union leader, visited the Sakal
  Union leader Kshirsagar in Pune to secure details
  of the Sakal Automation Model.  I was happy to see
  that many youngsters involved in traditional
  printing methods went on to sit in airconditioned
  rooms to learn to typeset on computers!  Foremen
  thus became supervisors in the new set ups, and so
  on.  Blue collared workers became white-collared
  workers.  Most people were absorbed and there was
  almost no retrenchment.

But soon enough, the Gomantak in Panjim served notices to
retrench 19 employees following automation in the Marathi
daily.  The retrenched workers were to be given as gratuity
only the mandatory 15-days salary for each year of their
service.  When the retrenched workers approached the Goa
Union of Journalists, I filed a complaint with Goa Labour
Commissioner.

The GUJ President was then Gurudas Singbal, Goa Correspondent
of The Indian Express.  When we members of the GUJ delegation
sat with the Labour Commissioner for the conciliation
proceedings, it turned out to be a very cordial affair.  The
Labour Commissioner was, of course, personally known to
Singbal and other GUJ seniors, including Pramod Khandeparkar,
Balaji Gaunekar and Gurudas Sawal.  "What is the problem?"
Singbal broke the ice, as he smilingly lit a cigarette.
"Guru, there is no problem. Tell me what you want," prompt
came the reply from the Labour Commissioner.

After a few more sittings, the Chougule management agreed to
increase the gratuity amount substantially and the workers
got almost more than double compensation.  Two workers
however dissented and went to the court to seek a better deal.

Journalists and others today may find it now difficult to
believe that in the 1980s, the labour unions of newspaper
employees, led by CITU leader Com S Y Kolhatkar and K.
Vikram Rao were so strong that they could successfully
organise a nationwide strike and bring the entire newspaper
industry to a total halt for a day!

I remember two such strikes were organised by the Goa Union
of Journalists leaders Pramod Khandeparkar, Gurudas Sawal,
Balaji Gaunekar, juniors like myself and James Paes around
1985.  I remember, as the GUJ general secretary, leading a
morcha (or protest march) of newspaper employees around
Gomantak office in Santa Inez, demanding the early
implementation of Bachchawat wage commission, and shouting
slogans 'Sodche na, reh, sodche na.  Jitlea bogor sodche na.'
(We won't give up, we won't give up. Till we win, we won't quit.)
The Gomantak Editor Narayan Athawale, himself an activist,
looked at us protesters from the gallery of his residence in
the Gomantak building.

* * *

I left Goa in 1988 and joined the Lokmat Times in Aurangabad,
Maharashtra.  The trade unionist in me was very strong and
within a few months, I was elected as the general secretary
of Aurangabad Union of Working Journalists.  Soon I shot off
letters to all newspaper managements in the city, including
the Lokmat where I worked, seeking the immediate
implementation of the Palekar Wage Award.  Till t

[Goanet] Lingúa de Terra - Konkani

[Roland Francis]

One of the most pleasant languages I have heard besides Portuguese, Spanish, 
Persian and Bengali, is the Konkani spoken by the Goan upper classes whether 
Hindu or Christian. The probable cause of this strain of language is the 
infusion of Portuguese words that had long since been adopted into the original 
salt-of-the-earth Konkani.

This is not the Konkani of the Hoi Polloi, of the working class, the barely 
educated or the recent immigrant, rather it is the lingua franca of the 
Portuguese-Goa born and further assimilated into the next generation who 
evolved out of necessity into a mainly English speaking standard.

That Konkani patois just like the Macanese Patúa is fast disappearing, visible 
more in the diaspora rather than in the original terra. Fortunately it has left 
an indelible stamp through the folk songs of the Mando, so even if that 
romantic strain soon disappears in everyday language, it will remain as long as 
Mandos are sung.

While geographically undeniably Indian, within Goans there is also equally 
undeniably a Portuguese sub-culture visible in thought and action, similar to 
that of the Macanese or of the Brazilian upper strata. While the Macanese or 
Brazilian openly embraces that western soul, Goans due to their political 
environment rush to deny rather than celebrate that deep layering.

Not all Indians want Goans to be like them. They celebrate the difference and 
want it to remain. Unfortunately when they go to Goa to see it for themselves, 
there is only the worst of Indian-ness to witness, like a proud pimp showing 
off the larger number of girls he controls compared to the next pimp down the 
road.

[Goanet] Pride does not win friends and friendship

[Nelson Lopes]

 Pride does not win friends and friendship.

Proud people are normally not very friendly and often isolated in their
self-centered cocoons. They cannot climb down from their pedestal of ego.
It is not within their ambit to acknowledge, respect or appreciate others
or their achievements. They will unconsciously, consciously resort to
criticism, fault finding and belittle the best of achievements and are
loath to give credit to others. They will seek self-glory and praise in
everything they accomplish. Proud people suffer from superiority complex,
are touchy, and supper sensitive, arrogant and can easily prick the bubble
of self-respect of others with impunity. They cannot easily relate to
others and win friends and friendship and are ensconced with their egos in
the ivory tower of their own in isolation. Thus the attitude of pride is
the greatest obstacle to healthy and lasting relationships .It demands not
commands love under pressure.  .Society resents the arrogance and pride and
shows scant respect to such people not in demand. The desire to stand out
and buy respect is high on their list of priorities under force .Proud
people want to be known and be famous and that is their most favorite diet

The family label  of  the origin of their birth, prominence, position,
status of the family in the society is trump card of proud, who sometimes
take   shelter under the shadow of popularity, greatness of their parents,
ancestors in politics, Professions, business. Etc .  Often born with a
silver spoon in their mouth their personal achievements are nothing to be
proud of .They have not to exert, toil as everything is available on a
platter .The family fame is the background to boast about

 Educational qualifications, success and excellence can give rise to
swollen heads of arrogance and bloated egos. Education on the contrary is
supposed to cultivate spirit of humility, tolerance and respect for other.
Often the background of family aids them to take advantage of best
educational facilities coupled with influence and finance. Degrees of
foreign Universities are added armor in their shield of pride, which they
can flaunt and display to enhance their self-worth,

Caste system in India is an important factor proud wear on their lapels
.The upper caste have certain traditional openings that can give a head
start. Until recently lower caste student were denied opportunities, which
they dared not dream due to limitations of economic and social restrictions
.The upper caste believe that they have the right to dominate others below
them in social order and subjugate them into compliance with social
pressure. The priestly community invariably belonged to proud upper caste

The position, status one holds in society in their chosen professions,
gives them an edge to pride over others due to dependency and naturally
claim superiority in relations to. Mastery, excellence, popularity in their
chosen fields of professions makes people feel indispensable, important
which fuels pride. In traditions , customs,  and culture certain
professions , trades are considered more, noble, respectful  superior and
therefore   manual and skilled jobs are considered less dignified, even
 though remuneratively more gratifying.

 Beauty and grace gives added high to contestant and a win at beauty
pageant catapults into cloud nine of pride, Beauty participants consider
themselves as a special breed unto themselves, even though beauty is skin
deep and momentary, illusive. The pride displayed is to be believed. The
colour of white skin is another component of pride in the society, though
now black is considered as beautiful, an antidote to superiority of skin
colour

The power of financial clout, physical amenities, material possessions,
luxuries of life with vast resources of disposal income, adds to their
privileged living in the society and thus exerts subtle influence of power,
position .Wealth may buy respect, honor temporarily   to a very great
extent and does play a dominant role even without education or professional
status.

Political power, position in present times is considered as the greatest
status and those in the field are seem to enjoy enormous pride and
privileges in the society. Their pride is unlimited and unjustified but
true. Politicians exercise enormous control on all sections of the society
and display arrogance par excellent

If one believes the Bible, pride was the cause fall of angels from grace.
As opposed to pride humility, simplicity is the virtue admired and loved in
the society Humble people are content and enjoy simple things in life ,
peace of mind and have  an army of natural friends and admirers. Be humble,
be wanted, loved and respected

[Goanet] Let's copy the Americans

[Linken Fernandes]

Very few of us Goans are perhaps aware of the true extent of the tragedy
that has befallen our migrant workers trying to reach home. I've just read
a report from the wire.in that 3 out of 4 deaths in the Shramik trains were
less due to underlying conditions, as this unconscionable government
claims, than to hunger, extreme dehydration and killing heat. In one case,
one family was trapped in a delayed and diverted train without food and
water for all of four days; one of the children died as a result. At last
count, some 80 odd people have died in the trains, which were ostensibly
especially ordered for the repatriation of migrants.
It is unfortunate that civil India has not been able to do anything at all,
even three months later, about the distress of these our friends who help
build our houses and the infrastructure of our towns and cities. Most of
them, in Goa at least, are mere kids, taking up their first jobs far from
home. One wishes political parties, labour unions, religious organisations
and all other interest groups throughout the country had banded together
and offered the countervailing opposition that would have, and still can,
alleviate the hardships being imposed on these humble innocents. One looks
to the revolutionary reaction in the US to the murder of George Floyd by
police and wishes that this could be one Western behaviour we should not be
ashamed to copy.

Re: [Goanet] TheUnwritten Rules of Oyster Fishing NOW WRITTEN

PS Mervyn: you know a lot about fishing ...In 1944 we used to walk for  picnics

one variety called lady fish.  I have not seen them at all for the last 30 or 
40 years .  
--
Doc,
The seaward side of Selandar Bridge was THE place to go catch lady fish or 
mudoshi. They were plentiful then and they taste real good when deep fried. I 
remember there being five to ten Goan families fishing there on the weekends, 
in the early 70s. The families had either VW Beatles or Ford Anglia's and in 
those days, everyone knew the licence plate numbers of their friends cars. As 
such, even before you got out of your car, you already knew which of your 
friends were there. 

The mangrove swamp on the opposite side of the bridge was my ecolab. Our 
parents warned us that the area was known to have quicksand but some of us had 
to find out the hard way. The mangrove swamp also had 18 to 24 inches of muck. 
If you stepped into that with shoes, you were guaranteed to lose at least one.  
At low tide, we would swim/crawl to the mangrove trees and shake fish from the 
branches. The two to three inch mud skippers would only survive for about a 
month in the fresh water tank at home. 

Fishing was banned from the area after an aircraft crashed a few feet from the 
bridge. The newspapers claimed that the pilot was a Canadian who had expensive 
equipment and who was photographing the bridge - which was a vital artery into 
town. Then, as now, US spies usually carried Canadian travel documents.  

The beach and the area around the bridge are completely destroyed as fishing 
areas now. Dar had a population of less than a million in the 70s. The 
population is 6 million plus now. The creek that empties from Jangwani used to 
bring nutrients and mud, now it brings plastic bags and toxic effluents and the 
water under the bridge smells like a cesspool. 

I make a pilgrimage to the Kivokoni fish market every time I am in Dar. On my 
last two trips, I went several times but could not find any lady fish. However, 
the locals tell me you can still buy them there.

On a different note, once upon a time you could go down to the Colvale tar, buy 
oysters, khubers or thisro, have them cleaned and then walk home. The fisher 
women then dumped the shells next to the ferry ramp. Well, the new bridge 
killed the ferry and tar. However, the bridge in Siolim did not kill the Siolim 
tar. You can still get your sea food cleant there and they still dump the 
shells near the ferry ramp.
