[Goanet] ENGLISH IS ENGLISH! NOT SIMPLE OR COMPLEX

2021-05-03 Thread Aires Rodrigues
A social media friend from South Goa who is an undergraduate and who I have
personally not yet met but only have corresponded with over the internet
for about five years has sent me a message which has left me in a quandary.

While thanking me for my writings which he says he regularly reads without
fail, he has requested me to try and write in simple English.

Thank God I was not educated at Oxford but went to just normal schools and
colleges. In fact my formative years in the third and fourth standard of
schooling was at a little Government run Primary school at Ribandar. I was
admitted there so that my Aunt who was a teacher there could keep a
watchful eye on my unending adventures.

All through my academic years, I was so blessed with good and dedicated
teachers who cared for and guided me all through my student days. On the
extra curricular side, they encouraged me to participate in public speaking
and essay contests. They were always a source of inspiration being friends
rather than mere teachers. What ever knowledge I was able to assimilate and
acquire to use in life, I owe it all to my dear teachers who were very
caring and patient despite my always being a very challenging student.

Now coming back to the request to pen in simple English, it may be too late
at 60 to return to basic schooling. But, if the Benaulim MLA Churchill
Alemao and even Chief Minister Pramod Sawant don’t have to struggle in
understanding what I write, I hope my social media pal from South Goa will
try and cope with the situation. May be we could bridge the gap once the
new Zuari bridge is operational.

In all that I candidly and fearlessly write, I attempt to ensure that
nobody needs the assistance of a dictionary to read and understand the
thoughts I express. I always aim for clarity, fact and sincerity. David
Gerrold an American novelist echoed my thoughts when he said ‘The single
most important lesson of effective communication is this: Focus on clarity.
Concentrate on precision. Don’t worry always about constructing beautiful
sentences. Beauty comes from meaning, not language. Accuracy is the most
effective style of all”.

Have at all times believed that the Pen is always mightier than the Sword.
May it always be so.

[Goanet] Maka Podonc Nam

2021-05-03 Thread Roland Francis
Nothing is more heart breaking than the personal grief of your family member.

This video depicts a father and in a later scene the brother of a Covid 
afflicted 25 year old young man who was admitted to a Delhi hospital and the 
next thing the father knew, he was dead.

Arvind Kejriwal Delhi Chief Minister is being blamed but the buck really stops 
with the Prime Minister who calls the shots including the right to call in the 
Army (which even Fauci told him to do) but has not done so for his own strange 
reason.

Not to say there are no others that need to share the blame for this young 
man’s death. A lot of blame can be attributed to the apathy of the average 
citizen who allows those in power to get away with criminal acts of commission 
and omission.

A good lesson for Goa where “amcam pondonc nam” (it doesn’t concern us) is 
almost a commandment.

[Goanet] WILL IT BE BABUSH MONSERRATE’S SECOND EXIT FROM THE BJP?

2021-05-03 Thread Aires Rodrigues
With his political greed unending even during this current raging pandemic,
Panaji MLA Babush Monserrate accompanied by his side-kick the Santa Cruz
MLA Tony Fernandes met Chief minister Pramod Sawant on Saturday 1st May at
his official bungalow at Althinho and demanded an immediate reshuffle of
the State Cabinet. Monserrate reportedly told the Chief Minister that if no
action was taken within a week that he would go public on the issue.

This breaking news was published today on the front page of the Goa Edition
of the Marathi daily ‘Lokmat’.

Babush Monserrate has not lasted long in any political party and this is
his second stint in the BJP which may now not put up any longer with his
tantrums and may just sack him along with the St Cruz MLA.

Babush Monserrate over the years in his quest for greener and lucrative
political pastures has been hopping from Party to Party. He has seen them
all.

In 2005, the then Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had the courage to strip
Babush Monserrate of the Town and Country Planning portfolio due to the
growing corruption in the department with regards to the Regional Plan.
That in the bargain Manohar Parrikar had to lose his Chair is another
issue.

With the Assembly elections due early next year and which may be preponed,
Goa may witness another round of political slugfest.

The Goa BJP bus currently very overloaded with MLAs accumulated from
various political parties is bound to crash under its own weight.

Biden?s Attempted Genocide Against Indians

I refer the above message and feel that what Modi said on WEF speech on Jan
28 made Biden ashamed of his country and he thought of making his citizen
safe: Hear what he said at WEF
