Re: [Goanet] Congratulations to Education Minister

[Ashley D'Silva]

Mumbai is not Goa.
All things may be possible in Goa -breaking of the law etc.
Blame the ministers for  his ignorance or his crony who misled him in believing 
that he could pull a fast one in Mumbai.
One more critical comment from our Maharashtrians well wishers about our Goans.
He could have caught his flight from Chennai or Kochi.
Why Mumbai?

Re: [Goanet] BJP seeks dismissal of Goa minister

[Ashley D'Silva]

What makes people think that CST airport is so pores as Dabolim airport?
Many will not know that cctvs keep a continuous watch on the road at least
from 2 km away from the airport, 
continuously monitoring each and every person who visits the airport
premises and right through the boarding gate.
In all possibility the ministers personal body language, gait and behaviour
did him in.
Even the porters are trained to keep an eye on all. 
The smile & query that you may be greeted at the ticket counter is to disarm
the potential smuggler and terrorists and make him/her  slip. 
Even if the baggage is checked in the hold,  it is x-rayed once more inside
the loading dock.
Monserrate should have known better since he claims he is flying in and out.
Good luck to him. I doubt the matter will be easy to wriggle out as another
case the CBI has asked for the transfer of his case to the Mumbai High
Court.
CISF& Airport intelligence security is tighter than before and forget
playing such games with them.
If they care a hang for a Maharashtrian  minister,  would they care about
the goan minister?

BJP seeks dismissal of Goa minister
PTI | Apr 3, 2011, 09.31pm IST

PANAJI: Bharatiya Janata Party has sought dismissal of education 
minister Atanasio Monserrate from the cabinet after he was detained with 
unaccounted money at Mumbai airport.

Speaking at a press conference, BJP Goa unit chief Laxmikant Parsekar 
said that the party would adopt all the democratic means to ensure that 
Monserrate is dropped from the cabinet.

"We will not allow such a tainted Minister to continue running our 
government," he said.

Parsekar said that they have sought appointment of the Governor Dr SS 
Sidhu on Tuesday to seek his intervention in sacking Monserrate from the 
state cabinet.

"We expect that the Governor will execute his powers and ask Chief 
Minister to sack Monserrate," he said.

The Congress minister was detained at Mumbai airport on Saturday on his 
way to Dubai for carrying unaccounted money in foreign currencies.

The BJP leader also wondered as to why the state chief minister Digambar 
Kamat was silent on the issue.

He demanded that the chief minister should make a statement as to how 
many ministers went abroad and whether they had taken permission from 
ministry of external affairs for the same.

Parsekar also said that they are planning to move an adjournment motion 
on Tuesday when state legislative assembly will discuss state budget.

Monserrate, however, has argued that he could account for the money that 
was found on him.

Re: [Goanet] Eucharistic Magic .. aka Miracles

[Ashley D'Silva]

Dear Goanetters,

Why point fingers at people who go for mass and then indulge in " chor
bazaar from 9.30 to 5.40.There are so many things in the church which are
not correct..."?

How good is our own goodness when we chuck these statements?

Let us ask ourselves before throwing a stone whether we are sinless or not ?

What we need to do is be agents of small changes and relentlessly convert
those who are corrupt with love - as Christ did.

It works if we believe that love triumphs over evil. But if you believe that
evil is greater, then the fight is lost and we succumb to a mental paralysis
that we have to live with evil and there is no choice. 

The choice is individual and the consequences return in the same form and
people continue feeling helpless.

Rather if you see any form of injustice / corruption take a stand even if
means losing out on all ones personal comforts & family.

The choice is yours to say no to corruption

To Goanet -

Quick & brief -

On the way back to Panjim this morning from an early photo shoot
in Loutolim, I saw a Goan farmer selling fresh vegetables by the 
roadside in Agacaim.

Gaunthi vaingim -

http://www.parrikar.org/images/samples/vaingim.jpg


Looking at these magnificent brinjals I couldn't help but reflect on 
what might have been if Goan agriculture - and with it our traditional
farmers, mostly gaude - had not been systematically destroyed
and diminished.  You can't get this quality of produce and its taste 
anywhere in the world, not even in fertile California.

Goa could have been self-sufficient, and farming could have 
been an export industry as well.  We could have employed all
our traditional folks, saved our open spaces and fields, and
thwarted the take-over by ghatis.  Shame on us.

The thug Monserrate has destroyed live cultivable fields in Taleigao
to make way for monster concrete buildings, mostly to be lapped
up by outsiders.  If you have sampled the vaingim from Taleigao
you will know what real vaingim taste like.

Re: [Goanet] Portuguese citizenship for Indians

When I mentioned this to my colleague from The Netherlands - he says India
is a good bet.
The situation in Europe is bad. The only two countries that are strong is 
Germany and 'The Netherlands'.  

Portugal's economy is in dire straits and is being temporarily propped up by
the EU.
In the EU community the respect for Portugal & Spain is not ideal.
India fares  better.

His comments about the recent bails outs - 'it will take  generations to pay
back 'The Netherlands' & Germany for loaning them the money' came true after
one year.
What was predicated by him about Ireland , Iceland &  Greece all came true. 
At that time he also mentioned Portugal & Spain.

Time is ticking by. The alarm bells are ringing. It may well turn out
to be a false alarm but as of now no one knows and there is no
official word on it till date.
Will the special option accorded by the Portuguese government for
residents hailing from Estado da India to become Portuguese citizens
closed in the coming years. The chances are by and large that at some
point of time, the Portuguese government may crack the whip and say
enough is enough.
So, there is mad rush to cross the finish line. Yes, hundreds of
Indians from the Estado da India are making a bee line to get the
Portuguese citizenship.
"What that actually means is that those born in Goa before 1961 are
still Portuguese citizens even today according to Portuguese law.
However, since the birth records were left in Goa after the brutal
invasion by the Indian army in December 1961, the Portuguese
authorities are not aware of the existence of these Portuguese
citizens in that part of the world. The fact remains that they are
indeed Portuguese citizens according to Portuguese law and full
Portuguese/European citizenship rights are available to them if they
wish to avail of those rights. In order to avail of those rights, you
need to register your birth in Portugal"
Portugal is not granting Goans Portuguese citizenship. They are
already Portuguese citizens by virtue of having been born in Estado da
India Portuguesa or by virtue of being descendents of those born
there.

Goans born before 1961 do not become naturalised citizens of Portugal
because they always were Portuguese citizens and retained their
Portuguese citizenship after 1961, according to Portuguese law. Even
if they only register their birth in Portugal today, that act of
registration of their birth in Portugal today is backdated to their
date of birth as they are and will always be Portuguese citizens of
origin and not naturalised Portuguese citizens.

Lisbon based Pedro Rodrigues, a Goan-origin advocate, who traces his
roots to Moira village and who specializes in the Portuguese
Citizenship says: "The chances are that they (Portugal) may close it
down. So it is better to complete the formalities before the year end.
Never be late and regret at a later date," said Rodrigues who was on a
three-day tour to Qatar to help Goans in acquiring a Portuguese
passport.
Rodriguese said this was his first visit to Qatar and for that matter
to the Middle East. And, he promised to come again to Doha if the need
arose.
The soft spoken attorney was in the Qatari capital at the invitation
of Doha Goans Sports Club (DGSC) and also conducted an seminar for the
benefit of Goans in Qatar.
Mathew Estrocio, an executive committee member of DGSC was happy with
the turn out.
"Many Goans came to see him and they came well prepared having with
documents which are necessary to start the process. Rodrigues, gave
them a patient hearing and some of the interested individuals then had
one-to-one discussion with the resource person from Portugal,"
Estrocio who hails from Carazalem.
Call it a second wave of migration or by any other name.  A large
number of Goans are in the process of changing their citizenship, with
an eye on a bright future in some European country- predominantly
England.
The first wave of migration started from Goa with our forefathers
migrating to different lands through  the sea route, lands as far as
Africa.  Some Goans made Kenya and other African regions their home.
Some were accorded the right to have UK citizenship when trouble broke
out in Uganda and all Indians were chased away by Idi Amin.

A meeting of Baixo Porvorim residents was convened by aides of the Aldiona 
MLA Dayanand Narvekarat the Candelaria Chapel grounds this evening to 
explain the decision of the National Highway authorities to erect a fly over

from Porvorim Tisk to Mandovi Bridge along the present alignment of the 
NH17. The MLA tried to impress upon the public how he had argued vehemently 
to save the demolition of existing houses and fianlly settled for a fly 
over. But, angry residents were in no mood to listen to any proposal on 
widening of the existing NH 17 or construction of fly overs and appeared 
firm that the present alignment must be scrapped.  A senior citizen was 
heard telling the MLA that the residents have been encircled by high rise 
buildings on all sides and now the fly-over will be like a cover to the 
tomb. Seeing the angry mood of the residents the MLA beat a hasty retreat 
and left the venue claiming that he cannot do anything more since the 
alignment has been finalised yesterday.
Some youngsters questioned the MLA over the government's failure to enforce 
the observance of pedestrian crossings and the increasing accidents due to 
rash driving. The MLA was evasive in his responses claiming that the 
government can do nothing more if youngsters choose to drive their vehicles 
in a rash manner.

If what Nandakumar claims is true, we will have bigger international

then
he can always claim that NRP Sagres sabotaged it and turned it to ash. Or
blame
the Indian tourist for depositing their ‘gold’ on the banks every morning.

I know that orthorectified high resolution satellite imaging and
multi spectral sensors can give better images, with much more accuracy and

A drunk (Minglu) walks into a bar and says to the bartender (Xembu):-
 
Minglu: "Drinks for all on me. That is including you, Xembu." 

The bartender (Xembu) follows Minglu's order...
 
Xembu: "That will be Rs:525/= please." 

Minglu: "Soy, I have no money." 
 
Xembu slaps Minglu around and throws him out. 

The next night, the same Minglu enters the bar and orders drinks for
everyone in 
the bar including Xembu. 

Again, the bartender follows Minglu's instructions and the drunk Minglu says
he 
has no money. 

So Xembu slaps him around and throws Minglu out. 

On the third night again Minglu comes in the bar:
 
Minglu: Hey you Xembu, come here!
 
Xembu: Today no way I'll serve you the drinks
 
Minglu: "Why not? Here I have lots of money, take this two thousand rupees 
(hands over 2 notes of 1000) and settle yesterdays and day before yesterdays

pending bills."
 
Xembu happily takes the money and settles Minglu's account.
 
Minglu: Now serve drinks for everyone in here except you (Xembu). 
Xembu: "What? Why no drink for me?" 

Minglu: "Oh, no. You get violent when you drink."

Hello All,

What is important to understand in this issue, is not an individual  act of
transgression but the intention  to get away with the act blatantly - esp.
in Mumbai.

if you refresh your memory Mumbaikar's are sensitive to such acts of
rubbing, squeezing, patting , pushing a women anywhere - whether on the road
on the bus, local packed train etc. The details provided were pretty lurid
in terms of decency.

So the situation in a passenger aircraft is no different.

Then we have a very a strict Mumbai police that reacts pretty fast to such
complaints whether one is 30,000 thousand feet above ground or on ground
level.

What was articulated in the Mumbai  Press was totally a totally different
news item - unless the elite Times of India - Mumbai edition has got its
fact wrong which is literally questioning the authenticity of the news
paper.

So what Mr. Alemao states is contrary to what is reported as neither were
there at that moment. However the choice of words used by Mr. Alemao conveys
something different - esp. the use of the word 'bedroom'.  People are not so
naïve anymore to accept any statement from anyone anymore  - but it does put
the person reputation in jeopardy. Moreover the public will watch to see
whether the defamation case is filed in due course. If these words are not
translated into action then creditability erodes further.

What could have been done was to immediately apologize and go ahead with the
journey instead of exacerbating the situation - which is often the case.

Lastly, in such cases the Mumbai Police will always listen attentively and
discern the situation and then take a call. What is possible is that the
other players could have possibly joined in the fracas without anticipating
the consequences of mob violence; wherever it happens - which is simply not
done over Mumbai jurisdiction. Mumbai is a tinderbox that can trigger
something bigger causing damage to the Goan Community in Mumbai. What is
relieving  is that the name of the airhostess is not revealed to the public
here.

Here the Manager of the team , coach and Captain should have stepped in to
diffuse the situation instantly. The reading indicates that these
responsible people failed the Churchill Brothers Team as a whole thereby
once again sending a message to the world that Goans are a rowdy lot  who
indulge in all sorts of anti social incidents ( Fernandes rape, Colva
Incident etc., )  consequently indicating that the fabric of Goan cultural
is giving way. 

What needs to be done in a civilized society need not be elaborated.
Let's hope better sense better prevails at all levels in society and people
do not take the law in their hands.

Footballers detained for misbehaving with air hostesses 5 Jan 2010, 2148 hrs
IST
In a shocking incident three Nigerian footballers representing the
Goan-based club 'Churchhill Brothers' have been detained by the police in
Mumbai for allegedly molesting air-hostesses.

Three players have been booked under Indian Penal Code section 354 and have
been detained by the CISF and a case has been registered against them.

The Goan club was on its way to Kolkata via Mumbai on a Spicejet flight when
a few players in drunken state misbehaved with the airhostess.

As soon as the fight landed in Mumbai, the players were detained by the CISF
personnel.

More shocking was the beahviour of the other players in the airport who
pushed the TIMES NOW cameraman away while filming them

MISPLACED CONCERNS
By: Bennet Paes


Ads by Goa Traffic Police on front pages of HERALD say: “ Your safety is our 
concern” (who will believe this anyway!)

They also say: “If you’re drunk, don’t drive”. This makes sense when one is not 
drunk, yet. It also deserves to be taken seriously.

But when they say: “If you have  to drive, don’t drink”,  and literally exhibit 
what looks like a glass of whisky in their ads, is rather questionable in my 
opinion.

For example, in the days of old, Goans went to a wedding reception on foot. 
Usually the functions used to be in the neighbourhood or within some walking 
distances. Because marriages then  were usually “arranged”,  the process went 
so far as delving into three generations of parental history, and that took 
long enough to prepare the wedding couple to finally say: “I do”. Consequently 
fewer functions took place in a year, outside of the period of lent. 

Today, there is an explosion of marriage vows, come rain or shine,  resulting 
in a swell of celebrations that stretch over the length and breath of Goa. 
Therefore,  reaching out to meet those commitments , however selectively, is 
possible only on wheels which the Goa Police seem to be so obsessive about.

Now, let me ask this. When people attend  social functions, traditionally 
alcoholic drinks are served to enhance the spirit of the occasion. So people 
imbibe and celebrate, and soon it’s time to hit the road back home. Some 
privileged ones, including politicians of course, afford the luxury of a 
driver, but what about those that don’t? Should  they leave their vehicles 
behind and walk all the way home from ‘Blueberryhill’ with their partners in 
tow?

Re: [Goanet] Mumbai's water woes

[Ashley D'silva]

Dear Salus,

Staying in Mumbai since 1980 and seeing the city evolve its tough on
Mumbaikar's when the taps dry up. By now all staying here know how to manage
with only half water supply a  day.

Goemkars staying in Goa should not fall into the trap Mumbai has fallen
into.

It's wise to plan now for the next 5 years failing which the situation will
deteriorate as time passes.

The govt of Goa should take note of what happening in Mumbai and avoid these
pitfalls.

The Goan Community of Oman (GCO) deserves to be complimented for organising,
such a Good Global Goan Convention 2009 and their hospitality was
remarkable. For the betterment of Goa, It is important that we first, at
least acknowledge the harsh realities facing Goa, make Goans aware of the
same and then look at solutions. In view of the latter, I think that the
main positive, which came out of this particular convention, was that
the critical issues facing Goa were strongly discussed i.e. on its Land,
Language, People & Identity. It was also very good to meet Goans, who are
fighting for the said issues on the ground and we overseas Goans in
particular, need to urgently support them & join hands with them; for our
common cause.

Re: [Goanet] Reign of Makods - previously Reign of Fanatics

[Ashley D'silva]

Hello Mario,
Possibly - but nothing like giving it a try. The best part of the people of
Kerela is trying to communicate in English/Hindi. They stubbornly stick to
their mother tongue and of course making it difficult to communicate. And of
course connections open doors faster than butter melting in hot sun. 
God Bless Goa and all give the Goans saving grace to resurrect Goa from the
dumps.  Incidentally I got better treatment in Kerela for the tourism deals.
Somehow some Goans were not willing to walk that extra mile, raising
multiple bogies that I never even thought of. But then, aren’t we the wisest
race in India to permit all that’s happening- of course those who are
residing out of Goa are to be blamed too including myself.

Subject: [Goanet] Porvorim suffers- government releases water connections...

Porvorim residents may be suffering due to acute water shortage, but the
Government continues to release water connections to huge housing projects
in the village. Today 29th Ocotber 2009, one more water connection was given
to Sapna Habitat with 400 apartments and everyone knows why. The close
relationship of the nanu's and the CM. The A.E. who refused to approve the
water connection for this project was transfered one month ago. To add
insult to injury, today the PWD was armed with an SDM's order asking the
police to give protection to the labourers. The Sarpanch and some Panchayat
members who came to the site were helpless as the PI kept flashing the
order.  With so much of rainfall, the PWD is not capable of releasing water
to the residents everyday. The sewerage which is released into public drains
from the Sapna Garden apartments at nights from the below capacity sewerage
treatment tank is being ignored by the health authorities. Worst still the
sewerage is released into a water drain that leads directly to the Pilerne
spring. Despite a Gram Sabha resolution not to allow more constructions of
buildings, the giovernment is forcing it's way through with use of the
police. If one goes to court, the matter will continue to see-saw for the
next 3 years or even more. Leaving aside the lawyer's costs and the
continued burden of keeping track of the dates for court hearings, briefing
the lawyer, leaving your job and being present in court, if accounted for
will run into thousands.  An FIR filed by us against a sarpanch in 1999
under prevention of corruption act has now come up in special court in 2009.
What would be the peaceful solution to all this dadagiri of the government,
if violence by the tribals to protect their land and livelihood is
considered wrong in a democratic process?

Hello Vidyadhar,
Your article was true to the pint as I live in Thane City barely 2kms from
Gagkari Rangayatan. What needs to be noted in the context of the Margao
blast is that the Sanshta Parishad is a spent force with the Mumbai police
force coming down heavily on the. So also other places in Maharashtra. The
Goa Govt and its force has to nip this organization in the bud before they
have another Taliban on its hands. Having friends in the Police forces we
understand from them, that a quick surgical action is better than wait till
gangrene sets in. The Goa Police has to be quick and ake speedy action just
as the Mumbai Police caught the two murderers.

Dear Goa netters,

Here is something to mull on.
Subject: Re: [Goanet] Will India EVER be a world power


Slogans can't make India a World Power: Murthy 
Bysiliconindia news bureau 

Tuesday,15 September 2009, 14:17 hrs Comment(28)

Bangalore: India's strive to be a world power is guided more by euphemistic
slogans and the country's aim cannot be achieved with it. "Its only with
real dedicated performance that India can excel," said Infosys Chairman and
Chief Mentor, Narayan Murthy. 




The initiative for better performance can be witnessed as the company has
rigorously stretched its training period. "Earlier it was not more than 2-3
months, however, now as a measure to enthuse more competition, its extended
to seven months," said an employee, who has been a part of the organization
for four years. The vast enthusiasm in the IT sector is witnessed by the
fact that 70 percent of the employees who join the IT firms do not have
graduates as parents, pinpoints the Leader of the Opposition, Karnataka
State Legislative Assembly, Siddaramaiah.

Murthy's remarks came in while addressing a crowd during the inauguration of
Infosys' second Global Education Center (GEC II). Inaugurated by UPA Chief,
Sonia Gandhi, the new education center is spread across an area of 1.44
million square feet. With the emergence of the new center, which took four
years to develop, the number of employees who can be trained at the Mysore
facility of Infosys invariably increased from 4500 to 14,000 employees. The
facility is also contemplating on a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) with a
capacity of 3000 seats, which is under construction. The UPA Chief asserted
that the facility inauguration gave her a chance to bunk her political life
for a few hours. The combined influence of education and the business world
makes her pine for a few more days of freedom from politics. 

The Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa was also present on the
occasion. 

In context of infrastructure and size, the centre is the largest corporate
education centre in the world. The company's total investment in the Mysore
centre is Rs.2,055 crore of which Rs.350 crore has been invested in
construction of software development blocks and related services, as another
Rs.1,705 crore was spent on education and training related infrastructure.

"In 2008-2009, more than 16,000 new entrants were trained and this financial
year around 16,000 more are expected to be trained through this program. In
addition, special programs have been conducted at the GEC for students from
Australia, Bhutan, China, Columbia, Japan, Malaysia, Mauritius, Panama,
Thailand, U.K. and the U.S," said Murthy.

Structured with classical designs, the education center is equipped with
smart classrooms. It has 485 faculty rooms, 42 conference rooms, five
assessment halls, an induction hall, a cyber cafe and two libraries which
can house over 1,40,000 books. The GEC I has a built up area of 4,40,735
square feet, as it has 52 training rooms, 183 faculty rooms and a library
that can accommodate 60,000 books. The new GEC has a has 84-'100 seater',
three-200 seater, six-60 seater and two-36 seater class rooms, five
examination halls and 302 faculty rooms. It also has an induction hall which
can seat 400 trainees and a library which can accommodate 80,000 books. The
seating capacity of the cyber cafe is 236. It has seven food courts,
offering various cuisines ranging from South Indian to continental food.

Indeed, it is a wonder that more people dont get electrocuted.  Actually, I
suspect that many do, but it is seldom if ever reported.
 I feel sorry for the poor lineman who has to carry out repairs wearing only
chappals and no protective gear or gloves, especially during the rains.  I
still see the lineman pushing his bicycle with a bamboo ladder attached to
repair street lights.  Since I live off the beaten path, when he comes to
repair the street light near my house, he asks to borrow my bamboo ladder.
.
Especially in the rains, one sees sodden tree branches brushing against live
electrical lines
sometimes resulting in sparks. Who do we blame ? The poor electrical
linemen, his bosses or the politicians who control the pursestrings ?  One
questions whether India will ever reach the status of a world power when for
decades there are no improvements at the
local level.

Dear All


Mogal Goemkar Bhavano ani Bhoinnano!

The 7th World Goa Day in Melbourne was celebrated with style as Goans and
their 
friends were welcomed by the Melgoans team wearing their name badges with
greetings 
"Dev Bori Sanz Dium" - (Good Evening).

People happily made their entrance to a hall that was decorated with Palm
Leaves, 
pictures of coconut Trees and pineapples around the hall. A few Goans came
up to us 
and said: "Oscarbab amee Goeyan assa koshem dista!! (It looks like we are in
Goa ) 
For many it brought nostalgic memories of Goa . The ambience was lifted with

coloured lights at the entrance and in the hall with tables decorated to
expect a 
great night in the making. One of our Goan Hindu brothers commented "Makam
borem 
dislem aiz"! (I feel very nice today).

The event was well attended by a large number of new Goan arrivals in
Melbourne and 
our usual Goan crowd that have been our supporters since 2003 and to whom we
extend 
our thank you! We had a good mix of young and those young at heart. The 8
piece live 
band "Soul Mates" led by Mr. Joe Fernandes (amcho Goenkar) and assisted by
crooner 
Natasha Rodrigues pleased many people that night.

The members of the Australian Goan Association Inc and their friends
attended in 
large numbers. On a similar vein we had a few members from the Goans
Overseas 
Association.

Melgoans and Australian Goan Association Inc., share one common goal that
is: "We do 
not restrict people from joining us unlike others who are yet to see the
light 
albeit 3 decades of existence". Yes, the mouth watering Xacuti and Sorpotel
was the 
order of the day along with other dishes including Vegetarian dishes.

As Goa is a part of India , the Indian Banking Division of the Commonwealth
Bank 
sponsored a bollywood dance that made people spellbound. It was a fitting
tribute 
and a "JAI HO 2009 WORLD GOA DAY"; this was well received following the fame
of 
Slumdog Millionaire.

We have been pleased to receive phone calls and numerous e-mails thanking us
for 
putting up a show that was enjoyed by all.  One well read Goan was overheard
saying 
to the other "How does Melgoans afford to put up a show for $35.00 per
person with 
such a grand hall, buffet, live music, floor show, table decorations and
above all 
no membership fees all this plus 6 hour entertainment? to which another Goan
replied 
"Todeh Goenkar muntat pundra pundra ponchviss" and that may be the reason
why we 
have people always talking about Melgoans in private parties in Melbourne .

I seize this opportunity to thank our valued patrons for making this event a
great 
success and I am sorry that 111 people had to be kept on waiting list as
they tried 
to book tickets at the last moment.

Kindly forward this e-mail to all those who came along in your group/s.  My
very 
special thanks to the people who came in big groups 20 plus.

Let's live today to love tomorrow and make Melbourne the Place to be
contributing 
our services to our new homeland.



Warm Regards

Oscar C. Lobo

Director - Melgoans - an events management company with a Twist.

Goa Electricity Dept responsible for the death of Joaquim 55 and his Son 20?
 
Well, next time you see overheard electricity snapped wire lying on the 
road etc  You better watch out!  It could still be live.
 
Such incident brought 2 tragic deaths in the same family at Morjim on 
the night of 2nd Sept 2009  Joaquim Fernandes and his son Domingos 
lost their lives due to the negligence of the Goa electricity Dept?
 
I really thought, every time such things happen (Snapping of wires etc), 
the fuse from the mains/transformer blows off automatically.
 
It looks like Electricity Dept is not taking such things seriously thus 
putting the lives of general public (particularly in the rural areas)  to 
great risks.
 
Imagine, having  two coffins/funeral in the house same time
What must be the family going through- the wife/mother and 
two daughters/sisters.
The whole village must be in deep grief, including  friends and family.
 
Taking into account the financial background of the victims family, one 
could immediately release some interim  funds say minimum of 
Rs.50,000, pending the compensation if any.  But the Minster is 
waiting till the Chief Ministers comes back from Delhi (ref. NT).  I am
sure, 
if  they do compensate, they will make it a sort of public  event by posing
before the cameras at the time of handing over the cheque etc
 
I wonder, if the local MLA Laxikant Parsekar and the Asst. Engineer 
who visited the house given any  help from their own pockets.

Dear Floriano,

I  keep telling people that BJP stands for - 'BRING JESUS TO THE
PEOPLE'...UNLESS THE GRAIN OF WHEAT DIES HOW CAN this come to
pass? 

Simply put  - 'What ones sows so shall one reap'. 
Many may not believe  - but God does throw a spanner in such organization;
that you will find nuts and bolts fling around. Only girdle yourself & stay
afar, watching from a distance how the situation evolves; ready to slay the
dragon in one stroke. I can't use the other term it may offend our
non-Catholic brothers. I.T Naidu from Andhra suffered the same fate when he
could have voted out Modi when Vajpayee was the P.M. He adopted Pontius
Pilots posture and washed his hands - he had the key to bring down Vajpayee,
but he was diffident when spoken to by me. Now that's history sir. Now let's
see how things crystallize in the political arena for the merry knights of
Hinduvata. 

The perspective we should adopt is not of anger and bitterness but - ' We
shall choose the Time , Moment and Place to Strike" to demolish these myths
and lies perpetuated by these people. Why was Advani so  smug about the "Ram
Sena'?

Dear Col.,

Thank you for saying what you have said and thank you for the 
acknowledgement.
The Loh Purush has at last 'melted'
This melt is a lot different than the melt of the Silver idols and artifacts

that were lovingly gifted to him (Advani) during the Rath/Ram Yatras by 
gullible people, of course, for no fault of theirs. This Loh Purush had 
these melted in Mumbai to turn these into cooking utensils for his home. 
This is according to none other than his own daughter-in-law who was up in 
arms against this mad-man but he was successful in appeasing her afterall, 
just like he did the same with Liberhan Commission. The Commission report 
was timed in such a way (after 17 long years)  by the time it was released, 
he expected to be sitting on the PM's chair. This Jako must go to jail, even

if it is a token one day affair for the demolition of the Babri Masjid.  'Jo

karne Gaye, who karke ayem' . These are his words according to his 
daughter-in-law. And he has the cheek to deny his involvement in the 
demolition.


I had seen through this evil person a long time ago. When Manohar Parrikar's

brother Audhut  told me that I should consider joining the BJP ( circa 
1993/4), as a good friend of course, I had said 'why not'? But there was one

condition I had told him. Advani must be shut inside Tihar Jail. He had 
never pursued this or any other topic with me after this.

I have openly declared that if Advani became India's Prime Minister, I, 
floriano lobo, would spit on his face if I got the chance. And I would do it

too.

You don't melt Gods that are gifted to you. Gods melts you if you did.
This has come to pass with Advani. He has been MELTED.

Col, we must meet some day to exchange a few pleasantries.

Restoration of Dr Gomes' house,old municipal building likely

MARGAO, AUG 31

These two structures of heritage value - the Old Municipal building and the 
ancestral house of Dr Francisco Luis Gomes - might have been virtually lying
in 
ruins over the years.

But, if the plan mooted by the Margao Civic body is anything to go by, these

structures may be restored to its lost glory and preserved for posterity.

Members of the Goa Heritage Action Group were in the city on Monday upon an 
invitation from the Margao Municipal chief over the restoration of the old
Municipal 
building located at the Old Market and the ancestral house of Dr Francisco
Luis 
Gomes in Colmorod-Navelim.

Historian Prajal Sakhardande of the Goa Heritage Action Group visited Dr
Gomes' 
house at Colmorod and disclosed plans to preserve the structure for
posterity. "This 
was Dr Gomes' house since 1829. We have come to see the house because we
want 
students and people to remember this great man", he added. "Dr Gomes was a
great 
nationalist and was a parliamentarian of repute", he said, adding "it is
hearting to 
know that the Margao Civic Chief want to preserve the house for posterity.

Says Coutinho: "We have invited Sakhardande to inspect the old municipal
building 
and the house of Dr Gomes as the Council felt that something needs to be
done to 
maintain and protect the heritage landmarks".

Aware that both the old Municipal building and the house of Dr Gomes are now
owned 
by private parties, Coutinho said the Council discussed with Sakhardande the

ownership issue of these structures, adding "as far as possible, the Council
will 
seek the cooperation of the private parties to restore the buildings.

"The government remembers Dr Gomes time and again, but it is high time that
his 
ancestral house is converted into a museum, where his works can be housed
for the 
benefit of posterity", Coutinho added.

The Margao Civic Chief has even suggested to the government to compensate
the 
private parties and acquire the building at market rates. "On September 30,
we will 
be commemorating 140th anniversary of Dr Gomes. I hope the government will
take up 
the matter in right earnest and acquire the house and preserve his works for

posterity", he asserted.

   August 25, 2009 - Goanet's 15th Anniversary



Mr. Jaswant Singh, You Are Welcome To Goa 

A marital union gone sour and a colourful vociferous divorce looks
eminent which could very well lay a good amount of exotic saucy bedroom
to boardroom extramarital affairs, bare. Looks like our Jaswant Singh
who had been wearing the black beaded mala of the BJP, had set his eyes
and soul on Mr. Jinnah from the other side of the border and had
harboured these romantic feelings for a long time and to the utter
horror of the dignified, self-righteous Saffron family, proclaimed his
love and admiration for the green, Mr. Jinnah in public. The bride's
"saffronised" family and the cousins just couldn't accept this
infidelity, especially since they were sworn enemies of the green
oriented Jinnah, who according to them was nothing less than a traitor.


In this modern world where divorces, live-in's or even remarriages are
as rampant and as natural as early morning breakfasts, what's new ?  We
have seen it all, from Parliament to the Panchayats, all marriages are
solemnised by nuptials, nikha or the "sat phere" round the fire or even
the "pyre" for that matter, but mean nothing to the brides or the grooms
in politics and more so in our beloved GOA. 

Our Goan politicians have even out done the Hollywood actress Elizabeth
Taylor and her eight marriages, twice to the same person, she had
divorced before. Isn't it amazing ? I don't think Mr. Jaswant Singh
should worry about the whimsical BJP's untimely divorce at the centre,
in Goa we do not have any problem with political infidelity and most
times it's even reward, if you have any doubts you can ask, Churchill,
Monster-rat,  Ravi or even the MP Sardinha bab. No ill feelings at all,
even if you are impregnated by the rival politicians.

Mr. Singh, you are welcome to Goa anytime. No problem if your book is
banned by Mr. Modi, Mr. Parrikar will welcome you with open arms as Mr.
Modi wasn't too popular here in Goa even with a good number of Hindus,
he will also help you to sell your book in Goa, I am sure most of our
politicians will be enlightened by the past leaders provided they can
read.  You can even produce CD's and I am sure Mr. Parrikar will help
you distribute them in no time, he is an expert and has previous
experience as well. While in Goa please be advised that you can write
anything except against the Chief Minister and his elite Ministers, even
if they are facts, or you could be taken to court and jailed thereafter.


Mr. Ali Baba our CM, will have no second thoughts in offering you a plum
post in his cabinet, your tenure in External Affairs at Delhi will help
him with the much needed protocol in Goa,  which is abysmal at the
moment and your experience of the Kandhahar episode, will help in
handling crime and terrorism which showing an upsurge in Goa. 

I won't be surprised if the MGP extends you a red carpet welcome to Goa,
because they too need, a dashing and vocal personality like yourself, to
lift their ebbing misfortunes. 

You could teach the UGDP liars oops !!  I mean lawyers who run the show
and are looking not just for new blood but oldies like you as well and
you could teach them a thing or two as well, even though they could be a
bit  of hindrance, than support in your venture. The Save Goa Party
needs to save itself, from it's own biological parents before, it can
save Goa or anyone else and as for Mr. Floriano and the GSRP, of the
little, I have heard and read of him, it looks an unlikely corner to be
offered since Floriano say he wants clean and secular people to run Goa.
There could well be a clash of ideologies once again, even then no
problems there are ample opportunities in the ruling and the opposition
party in Goa.

Come to Goa Mr. Jaswant Singh and enjoy the fruits of corruption. By the
way, how would you like to be served Mr. Singh, just a routine
clarification sir, over the table or under the table, like all our
present residents of the Vidhan Sabha ?

   August 25, 2009 - Goanet's 15th Anniversary




Boje
 
I have a Sharp nose.
And the senses are even more sharper  when there is fish-frying  around  say 
homes 
or restaurants. I can smell it for upto a distance of 300-500 meters. 
 
The same applies  to ‘Boje’. 
Boje, I love it and I simply can’t resist the smell or flavour if it freshly 
done around.
Some people may call it bojim and non goans may say ‘Pokodda/e or Kanda Boji’
 
Even when I was a kid, I was very much fond of ‘Boje’.
Gone are the days where fresh hot-hot boje were available at the ‘Tiatr’ venues 
etc
 in villages. Now, Tiatr is staged in Hall/auditorium and day time.
However, I have noted now, every village market corner, there is at least one 
‘Bojekar’ (most are migrant bojekars).. they would also sell Mirchi or 
mirsango, Kapam, battatwadda (Bhuk-laddu), Samosas etc
 
At Navelim feast too (Last year) I saw one or two Bojekars (see pic).
 
Good Friday:
We all spent up to  5 hours at the church starting from 3pm to 8pm.
It was really boring, as kids, all we used to look forward was the opening of 
the 
black Curtain behind it large life size of Jesus Christ Image with Cross on His 
shoulder and Our Lady of seven Sorrows. Once that was shown and done, there 
was another curtain opening but this time just the huge standing Cross with 
white 
cloth on it and the Saibinn.
 
 Just after 6.30 pm, the local ‘Bojekar’ would start deep frying ‘Boje’.  
Oh! I could not resist the smell or the urge to eat ‘boje’. But how could I? 
I have to wait till around 8pm when church services get over.
 
My mother used to give me 25 poixe (Paisa) with strict order saying ‘ put 15 
poixe 
to Jezuk and 10 poixe to Saibinnik’  (trays or money boxes or ‘Fund Petti’ were 
placed below each image)
 
I asked:  ‘give me some more money to buy boje’
She replied: What Boje? Come home straight, we have ‘canji or Pez’ at home 
(This day being jinzvar or fasting day, all homes did not prepare or cooked the 
usual ‘Xit-Kodd’ and instead cooked just ‘pez’ enough ‘Pez’ to last for three 
sessions i.e Pez/Lunch/Dinner. (Usually, on daily basis,  we had Pez around 
11am followed by Lunch (Xit Coddi) around 2pm and Dinner around 9 pm).
 
Now, I won’t go home without eating ‘boje’
But with no money how could I buy ‘boje;?
 
Idea!
 
Of the 25 poixe, I would now give 10 poixe to Jezu and 5 poixe to Saibinn.
Remaining 10 poixe I would buy and eat ‘boje’ and for this, I did not have to 
wait 
till the end of the church services as I went straightaway after receiving 
‘Cumniao’
 as at the end there was always rush and all ‘boje’ got over which disappointed 
many. 
 
Now how much the ‘boje’ were  costing at the time?
For just  one rupee, one could get a big ‘pottolli’ of  50 ‘boje’ as each 
‘bozo’ 
would cost just 2poixe which also means  even for 10 poixe you got a small 
pottolli (paper wrapped)  of 5 ‘Boje’
 
Only, yesterday, I bought ‘boje’ at Margao KTC Bus stand.
Each ‘Bozo’ now cost Re.1 (slightly bigger though)
 
I am sure, after reading all the above boring stuff, many of you would now say 
to me
 
‘Ho Joe sarko Bozo mure’
 
 Here are my favourite ‘Boje;
http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk21/3866221234/sizes/l/
 
  
navelim boje/cheurisaum etc
http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk15/3043271627/sizes/l/
 
 
Note: 
Bozo is singular of Boje.
 
Like kids of today, we did not get pocket money.
Only time we used to make some money  when we were sent to the 
local 'society' (fair price shop) where I remember 2.5kg of sugar was costing 
Rs.5.38p i.e  half kg per head.
Also. we walked for upto 3 kms in the funeral procession with the priest 
(dressed as Alter boys) and we were given  25 poxe by the Pad Vigar. 
Again during Easter, home or house blessing - house to house, we got 25 poixe 
end of the day.  
However, the priest would instead, give us some 'Milk powder' or 'Bod'do' 
(broken wheat?) which they got in large quantity for distribution for  poorer 
school kids.  
We had to accept it much against our wishes as prefere poixe to milk etc.

Zimbabwe because we are in the elite Nuclear CLUB. Doesn't Pakistan gets
treated better than us ? We have the balls; otherwise our population
wouldn't be touching a billion. So be patient and let the Govt finds its
fractured footsteps to elicit the information it requires to bring its own

funny if you think of it - a thief shouting choor choor at another thief.

Injuries are classified as Grievous and Simple injuries. Injuries can be to
soft tissues, bones and organs. All fractures of bones are classified as
grievous injuries. Injuries to soft tissues and organs that incapacitates a
person from doing his normal duties for more than TEN days are classified as
Grievous injuries. Soft tissue injuries that permit you to resume normal
routine duties within ten days are classified as simple injuries. I am
defining this as a lot of resentment out of ignorance, has appeared in the
press against the Casualty Medical Officer at GMC in respect of the 12 year
old domestic maid who is alleged to have been branded by the Pednekar
family. 
Government doctors under Public or political pressure can keep a person in
hospital under treatment for more than 10 days to label any injury as
Grievous. The injury report released does not state that any of the burn
injury being full thickness of skin burn; but “almost full thickness”. These
types of burns are similar to branding that Goans do in case of jaundice,
and a person can perform his normal duties. The only difference here is that
the burns were not promptly treated. 
Let me be clear; I am in no way condoning the criminal act here, nor do I
know the identity of the concerned CMO. I am just stating that in my opinion
the CMO at the GMC was right in his opinion to label the injuries as
“Simple”. And as a medical person myself, it is my duty to justify my
colleague and the truth, as the CMO being a govt. employee is restrained
from defending openly the public accusations.

Shame on Goa's Congress and shame on you Mr Speaker

How dare you try to muzzle a citizen of Goa with threats of imprisonment?
Who do you think you are? You are elected by the citizens of Goa, for the
citizens of Goa. You are not elected to threaten our civil liberties and
assume you are above the law. 

What a sad day for Goa's democracy that you should even think of uttering
what you did in the assembly. 

I for one am for starting a petition to the Governor of Goa, to have the
speaker removed.

And I sincerely hope the newspapers of Goa have the guts to stage a morcha
outside his house and have him removed from the asembly.

Please, I ask all Goans to support our freedom of Press. This is an
important issue.

The Times of India front page headline today captioned ' ENVIRONMENT
MINISTRY JOLTS 
MINING LOBBY - Gram Sabhas' Apporval Made Mandatory For Forest Clearance'
comes as a 
real shot in the arm for Goa and Goans. I, in particular,  have already
started 
feeling tipsy. I do hope that this 'high' continues indefinately, since the
feeling 
it has generated is real good and satisfying.

I do think that my party's line has made some difference to bring about this

marathon change in New Delhi's thinking.

Quote
"The mineral wealth of Goa is the gift of God to Goa and Goans. If its
exploitation 
does not benefit the people of Goa,  but on the contrary it gives
Tuberculosis [TB] 
through breathing the dust from acute dust pollution, rendered deaf through
acute 
noise pollution,  their fields and houses destroyed by mining reject slush,
their 
wells  dried up soon after the monsoons and survive on unfiltered tanker
water 
gifted to them by the powers that be  to keep them pacified,  their houses
that are 
not carried away by the mining slush, cracked to kingdom come through
detonated 
blasts, their forest cover  eatten up to make the wild life homeless, to
roam in 
villages and endanger the population,  then let Goa's mineral resources lie
where it 
is, deeply burried and untouched neither by the Central Government nor by
the 
Government of Goa, whether they like it or not."
Unquote

The people of Goa, especially those who have been acutely affected and those
like 
Sebastian Rodrigues (Goa's Naxalite) and Company,  who have been at
logger-heads 
with the mining lobby as well as with the impotentent Goa Government have a
huge 
cause to rejoice.

This issue is  taking a toll on all - people, environment and public peace.
The State Goa Govt must initiate steps to bring ship breakers from  Alang (

Dear Samir Kelkar,

Yes!; if given a try something good can be done for this iconic place that
most would be associated with; sometime in their lives.  Personally I can
offer this person some help in terms of improving the place through contacts
from Mumbai - that's if he is interested. Secondly he should be ready to
accept the help and he should share the difficulties he is facing to
maintain this place so that a workable solution to restore its glory of
yesteryears is provided by us.

It's worth a try, Sami. Check out Clintons view of the place being sold to
someone else??

I have faint but fond memories of Marliz, as a child who was born
hardly 200 meters from Marliz in my mother's place. I still remember the
smell of coffee. I also remember some posters on the wall; things like
"smile" and
stuff like that.

These are early memories of a place which I found to be the most
sophisticated in Margao.

I dont think we should let Marliz close. We should revive it. Any takers?

7065.shtml
   Missing coffee at Goa's Marliz in Margao Armstrong Vaz Sat, Jul
25, 2009 14:46:30 IST  THE CLOSED shutters of Marliz restaurant, once
Margao's much sought-after eating hole and a meeting point for the Satiskars
(residents of Salcete taluka in the Indian state of Goa), points to yet
another grim story. A sad tale of yet another Goan enterprise folding up.
The place had become synonymous with the high and  mighty of Salcete as they
discussed the day's hot stories over coffee while enjoying the fragrance and
greenery of the Margao Municipal garden.

Just as Mumbai's once famous and now closed Bastani restaurant was a perfect
place for Goans to start their day, back home Satiskars craved for Marliz's
coffee. If Basanti's meat mince was once highly-prized by Goans, here in
Margao it was coffee which ruled the roost at Marliz. There are many stories
of marriage, business deals, jobs, career options and land deals woven
around Marliz. But the name Marliz, has a story of its own. Like the Taj
Mahal, here was a man inspired by love for his wife, to name his business
venture after her - Maria and Luiza; she died soon after its establishment.

For many Salcete residents,it was not only about having their first morning
coffee while reading newspapers here, it went much beyond that. Its ideal
location, a few meters away from the old Margao bus station, meant that it
drew customers from varied fields. It served as a link for many
professionals, teachers and government servants. It was a place where the
creamy layer of Salcete met over a cup of coffee. Having your morning coffee
at Marliz was just an excuse for the gossip-happy Goans to  make their way
to the restaurant. There were many items on the menu you could pick up for
your breakfast, but there were others which were not served by the Marliz
staff, but which came as  side "assortments".

The morning newspapers had all the news that the Satiskars asked for. But
some craved for news which did not go into print - the untold stories of
affairs, bribery scandals, and more hot news. Its client base came from the
far-off villages of Cavelossim to Cansaulim, Curtorim to Cuncolim, Quepem to
Raia. Ask Assolna-based Panchayat Secretary Theophilo Almeida  or his
politician-cum-businessman friend John Baretto from Benaulim and they will
have numerous stories to tell, related as they were to Marliz. It was here
that land deals, engagement proposals, career options, job opportunities and
business options were discussed and fine-tuned.

If you wanted to bribe some government official then there were people to
guide you to that effect. The collector's building was a stone's throw away
from Marliz. The high and mighty from the collector's building came to
Marliz to have coffee. They needed the caffeine dose to give them the
adrenalin rush for th

Dear Goa' netters,

It would help if all en- mass email the concerned police dept and its head,
Goa CM and the Home Ministry, collector etc and swamp them with emails that
will jam the whole line forcing them to take cognizance & action against
this harassment to Rama. Some years back when some smart guy opened a
restaurant and named it 'Hitler' in Kharghar- Navi Mumbai, the Jewish
community from all over the world used this tactic and simply laid
Mantralaya low forcing the C.M to immediately react in minutes - fall out
was that they did not want a bad name and labeled as fascist. 

So therefore somebody get the details for their emails and put it up on the
net and start acting rather than tossing mails around - let all the mails be
directed to the Govt and the Governor. 

Best of luck to all,
Ashley D'Silva

 Some thoughts.
If it possible to get an OP, Order of Protection against the police. I mean
has it ever been done. Besides emotional torture, what do midnight calls
amount to? An ample opportunity for possible liquidation?!
It also reminded me that almost no analysis has been done of anything
related to mining and its various caveats, as sporadic missives from the
fields appear on Goanet--by Goanetters. I could be wrong, but even if I
could be, it still implies that unlike other issues this one needs a lot of
processing before cogent or however incoherent thoughts make it into
cyberspace. Also have not seen much by way of writers or essayists, however
well meaning their toughts on matters and ills relating to society; aside
from mining, with its pros and cons as it plays out in Goa. I am not talking
here of journalists, or correspondents in the journalistic sense, nor of
activists, or bloggers (who are not exactly slacking). I am talking of
corespondence from writers, artists, poets, doctors, professionals,
home-makers, and other as correspondents. Remember the word correspondent as

Hello Lionel,

Possibly Mantri Ravi Naik does not have the right Police HEAD in Goa [ IGP
?]. This is the person responsible for getting the ground work done. Maybe
the IGP lacks motivation to do his work for whatever reasons; OR maybe it's
a punishment posting. File a RTI and it may open a can of worms???.
Regarding the Mantri; he may not be upto the mark for the Central Govt to
shoot down his proposal. With the NSG - Black cats based in Mumbai- Kalina
the need to have an ATS is not pressing as they have all the High Tech
equipment to fly down at a moment's notice. Anyway what is there to protect
in Goa? . the firangs? Or the ministers? Its time more jobs are given to the

*Inspector Gadget *

Marine Commmando Squad, Missing Persons Squad - these are not American TV
serials which have stories inspired by real life. These are among the units
that our Home Minister Ravi Naik intends to set up in Goa. All these names
have a nice ring to them and Ravi Naik knows he'll get his 15 minutes of
fame in the media when he makes such grandiose announcements. He sure knows
how to grab eyeballs. He demonstrated that when some months ago he dared
Pramod Muthalik, infamous for orchestrating the attack on young women
visiting a pub in Mangalore, to enter Goa. In May, after the body of a
Russian teenager was found on the tracks in Tivim, Ravi Naik famously blamed
foreigners for giving Goa a bad name by bringing in the booze and partying
culture. Does the home minister know that many domestic tourists too booze
and party as if it going out of style? Besides, if the home minister really
means business won't Goa be able to shed its reputation?
Coming back to the Marine Commando Squad, it seems our *montri *thinks he
can spend tax payer's money to get James Bond-like gadgets like high-speed
interceptor boats, especially the 12-tonne Hell Raisers' that can be used
for deep-sea patrolling. That his earlier proposal to set up an Anti
Terrorism Squad has not get the centre's green signal is no secret, so it
seems that he has thought up this new avatar.
It seems strange that he should come up with these new-fangled names when
the police has been found wanting when an alleged serial killer was on the
loose for many months despite a missing persons complaint by 14 families (of
the 16 he allegedly killed). By the way, now the police are going to have a
Missing Persons Squad. It's called locking the stable door after the horse
has bolted! But all this begs the question - if the home minister had led
from the front and got the police to do real police work, would he have to
invent all these fancy-sounding squads?

*What a song and dance*

Recently, well known Hindustani classical singer and Padma Vibhushan awardee
, Kishori Amonkar stormed off the stage at Kala Academy when she discovered
that a casino was sponsoring her concert. To add insult to injury, she said
she was not paid for the concert. She had never been so "insulted", she
said. To think she is a Goan.
Her grouse has been that classical music does not have enough government
patronage. Are Goa's cultural coffers so empty that they have to get a
casino in for a classical concert? It's another matter that they get booze
companies to underwrite something like a Grape Escapade.
But, surprise, surprise, the Goa government does seem to have money for
culture or so the details below would testify. But if someone of the
eminence of Kishori Amonkar feels slighted one wonders where the money has
gone, or should I say, who is the beneficiary of the government's largesse?
A point to note is that Goa is known internationally for its song and dance.
But not the kind of song that needs a harmonium for which Rs 21 lakhs was
given and Pakhvaz for which Rs 7.50 lakhs was allotted. What a song and
dance!

Hello Wendell,
May be the Goa Govt should learn from the Thane Central Prison. Here they have 
to 
work in sections of their choice e.g. Bakery, Flour Milling, Textile Dept, 
Carpentry, Jail Kitchen, Housekeeping within the Jails, Administration etc. 
Only 
Under Trials are not given that much of work. Regarding the food, there are 
laid 
down defined quantities of food [in grams] that they are entitled to as 
specified in 
the Jail Manuel. I met one Sr. Jane who is working with prisoners many years 
back at 
a prison ministry seminar in Pune. The ones at Aguada Jail, do have a good 
time; is 
what she also said.

I think this may work.
Write to Sonia Gandhi and let her know the situation. Guess you will receive
a positive reply & action.
You have to understand something of the Central Govt power. In the eyes of
the powers that hold the reins; Goa is insignificant and not really
important unless something drastic happens. If Maharashtra is treated
insignificantly what is Goa? The only way to show them is writing to them
and agitating on the ground. When I was in Delhi I met one Top Politician at
another top persons place. He was discussing how to switch over. I happened
to be their because I was a relation at  the persons place. I understood one
thing, if you want any action in Goa then go to Delhi and start knocking on
the doors. If required appoint someone - to do the follow up as it cost
money to be a powerful activist.

For the greed of money, the Morjekars have sold vast stretches of their
properties 
to the Russians.  In some cases, they have bought almost entire wards. 
Thus, they 
do not only control the place but also the people.

Mind you, we are dealing with Russian mafia and international drug lords who
are 
hand in gloves with the local machinery by paying them a very high premium,
which 
the aam admi cannot even dream.

Usually, an outsider should not and does not interfere with locals but the
Russians 
in Morjim are an exception.  Whenever their neighbors approach them with a
complaint 
they are outnumbered, threatened and even beaten up.

As far as police are concerned, the lesser said the better.  Obviously, they
are 
well-fed with hafta; so, they turn a blind eye at everything - "Te mevta te

It is we who have created this monster, which has grown in size.  We must

Rightly put Ash,

 

In konkanni there is a saying which goes "one has to stretch one's self as
per
the size of one's bedding" and there is yet another one that goes " one
should
not gulp, more than one can swallow", but who the crap cares ?  

 

Water was in abundance, in  most parts of Goa in the good old days, so what
has
gone wrong ?  Those who live in Mumbai have been hit hard and are already
feeling very insecure of their future, because life without water is
impossible,
but in Goa who care ?  

 

Every body knows the adverse effect of mining, silting, hill cutting, land
filling and mega housing on the water resources and water bodies, are we
acting
wisely and prudently ? Or do we think that, no, it's not going to happen to
us
Goans ! If so,  we are destined for doom and that's a fact.

 

Checks should be made around every village and notes made as to how many
wells
and ponds have gone dry and how many others are about to run dry ?  The
Selaulim
dam, which is the life line of people of south Goa, has been silted and is
being
done openly, don't we know Pascal's laws of pressure ? I am sure most of our
Ministers will not know them (sale angute chaap) ? Don't we know what
tragedy
occurs when the inner walls our arteries and veins are saturated with
cholesterol  ?  With the cholesterol thickening inside the walls, increases
pressure on the heart and results in a heart attack,  With the sides and the
bed
pushing the weight of water on the front portion of the wall of the dam it
is
only inevitable that raptures will occur and ultimately, disaster is just
waiting to happen ? Is our Government blind to the safety and the wellbeing
of
the people of Goa ? If the Politicians do not care than it's up to the
people to
see that they remain safe by taking the initiative and taking law into their
own
hands to protect themselves and their future, have to do what must be done
before it's too late.

 

Mega housing is cutting and eating away into our very valuable and limited
resources like water and electricity, I have written about this an umpteen
number of times, what we need to do is like Ash said, we should at all costs
develop, enhance and safeguard these precious resources first. Development
at
the cost of ecology and human tragedy is not worth it. Sustained development
as
per our infrastructure, population and our needs should be the priority of
our
Government. Uncontrolled and unsustainable development will only lead to
further
disaster, chaos and anarchy.  Our Politicians, most certainly should not
make
Goa gulp more than it can swallow but should only be allowed to stretch as
per
the size of it's bedding, but the greed of our corrupt politicians has
developed
amnesia towards actual facts which will further deteriorate and devastates
our
ecology and our natural resources.

I totally agree with Roland Francis regarding the issue of foreigners buying

May I add that "foreigners buying land in Goa" is the least of the problems
facing Goa at the moment. Goa's biggest problem at the moment and much more
deserving of your attention and concern is the massive destruction of
forests, water tables, agricultural land, air and water pollution caused by
the mining industry in Goa.  The devastation in the mining belt is totally
irresponsible and criminal, and will soon affect everyone living in Goa. The

About four months ago, one of the Russians from Morjim publicly assaulted a

Isn't the sympathy shown by people towards foreigners who have or intending
to buy land in Goa a little misplaced?.
The laws regarding foreigners buying property in any part of India may be
very strict; we ought to understand one cannot equate it with indians
settling down or buying property in the US or Canada. We are bursting at the
seams; US, or most parts of Europe need people, especially migrants.

We are indignant when cheap labour finds its way into India from across the
border. Are these foreigners bringing in some special skills that we are
short of? Or are we getting cheap labour that we need?They are here as
pensioners because life is affordable and cheap; but does that help Goa at
all. If anything, it will send land prices skyrocketing!

Re: [Goanet] foreigners buying proerty in Goa

[Ashley D'silva]

Hello there - Jane etc,
The issue is not those who are here. It’s the big mega colonies that are
being promoted . Is it susutainable?

Will Goa experience withdrawal symptoms just like what's happening in other
suburbs? 

A little firsthand experience : Mumbai is experiencing a 30% water cut{ In
reality it is double that}. Two lakes are below reserve therefore water
cannot be drawn. Thane city residents are getting water every alternate day
for 1 hr as on May 2009. Earlier it was 3 hrs. Current Pop approx 45lacs.
1992 Thane city Pop; 8lacs; water was available 24 hrs. Promise aplenty were
made on bended knees by the Municipal Councilors. 
My personal experience . The clothes were stuck in the washing machine for 2
days. In two days the odour of a 50% incomplete washing cycle was terrible.;
something like a dead rat in the apartment. How do we manage? 

Patience dear all, and pray the water runs through the taps. Fights took
place between those staying on the ground level and those staying on higher
floors all because the pressure was inadequate & add to this hydro Pneumatic
pumps that  has no storage tank. Imagine a house with little children and no
water. Imagine staying on the 17th floor with aged parents and one has to
subsist on raw water { Bore well water] that smells brackish because every
building has the facility for the toilets. What does one do?

The truth is that the Municipalities in connivances with greedy builders
have sanctioned new MEGA PROJECTS that is not in sync with water supplies',
electricity, sewerage lines, concrete roads with a service road  etc. 

What does one do? Gehrao the Municipal Commissioner, abuse him etc? 
Well this time the people have voted for someone else. 

Only time will tell;  till then one has to patiently wait for the situation
to ease out and hope for the best, get involved in civic &  political
affairs etc and create pressure  modules. 

So the basic issue is the infrastructure - who is going to create it first 
or 
Rather build the MEGA COLONIES , AND THEN START ALL THE INFRASRTUCTURE.?

First of all, allow me to express to sogle Goemkar (not Goankars) on this

Please stop there. None of your freedom fighters ever "liberated" Goa from
foreign rule - Krishna Menon and the Indian armed forces saw to that. And
don't bother going into that topic either - its a topic that's been torn to
shreds on this and other fora in the past.  If you do need more information,
please visit http://www.colaco.net/4/GoaLib.htm
(BTW, since you dislike the Brits so much, inferred from your constant
references to "freedom fighters", now tell me: you enjoy a Westminster-style
of Govt in India, speak and write English fairly well, travel on a British
idiosynchrasy of a double-decker bus, travel on a British-laid railway
system, and probably well-educated in an English-medium school/college;
isn't it a bit hypocritical on your part to dislike the very things you were
brought up with, and use every day? ) 

>All Indians who wanted to continue to be ruled by foreigners have

Again, you're rambling. We who have settled in "foreign countries" are no
longer foreigners - we're locals where we've settled, and rather enjoy each
other's company, food and culture in a multi-cultural environment, and we
choose who we want to rule over us just as you do in your own country. 

>Even the USA has a number of immigrants in top decision-making jobs.
So what is the point you're trying to make?

countries 
>to work at menial, low-paid jobs, because the citizens of foreign

>do not want to do their own, dirty work.
Oh really? So you think all we do is clean toilets? That's a great one :-)) 
Indians may work menial jobs to get started (which sometimes is a great way
to gain work-experience, contrary to India's theoreticians who know

Hello Albert,

The said statement is quite true for those who do not understand the liturgy
of the Church. Procedurally Catholics cannot have so many 'Mother Mary's'.
But then one has to bring this to the notice of the dioceses and work from
there to change the system. 

For e.g. in my church in Thane City some well wisher happily brought a
Velankani wooden Statute nicely painted encased in a beautiful three sided
glass pedestal unit whose height touched 5'.6" x 20" x 20" . This
well-wisher wanted it to be placed at the rear of the church where he placed
it. Now in addition to this we have a huge crucifix plus our lady of Fatima
from Spain plus the famous  " Russian Mother Mary Icon" of approximately
30"x 30". As the coordinator of the Parish liturgical team I informed the
Concerned people to remove this new addition, which was done and it was
relegated to the store room. So you see if this also was added there would
have been more confusion. I have noticed people mechanically kiss the
statues - maybe out of piety or may be for some other reasons and proceed as
if on a escalator. So it is important to create  understanding of the
liturgy of the Church gradually otherwise there will be a reaction -
basically this happens with the elderly people who have been brought up in a
particular fashion. It will take time - but it also depends very much on the
Bishops and his colleagues in Christ. If they want to perpetuate it you are
against a wall. If they are amiable to change then it would do away with
what you have just penned below. So take heart in these matters as they
cannot be stopped overnight. 

Another stupid thing that most churches permit is the use of plastic flowers
in churches/ blessed sacraments. When I did my 1 year Liturgical training
Diploma Course at Goregaon Seminary were asked how would we feel if somebody
gave us  bouquet of plastic flowers on an occasion?. Many replied
negatively. Similarly we affront God in this manner when we place plastic
flowers/ garlands before God. Many churches in Mumbai/ Thane  r more or less
are breaking this practice. It takes time as we were the first batch in the
Archdiocese ( 2002) to have completed this training with a an exam and the
results are showing now - 2009.
So take heart & God Bless


"Feast of this Mary and feast of that Mary. It is very easy. Nine novenas of

there is only one Mary, the mother of Jesus who said Yes to God and showed

Albert writes:- My dear brothers and sisters. 
God has not signed a sale deed with us when He promised the property of
Heaven. No Roman Catholic has any right to say " Heaven is ours and that we
will achieve happiness in Heaven " if we do not know to live on earth
peacefully. Every living soul is born from God and is nourished by God.His
title his name has come from certain earthly belief for which he or she is
not to be held responsible. Jesus came among the Jews and he had to be
crucified on the Cross because his own people did not accept him as come
from God. What are we doing today? We have received baptism from water when
we were born but have we received the baptism of the Spirit ? We never give
importance to the Word of God at all so whose property are we fighting for,
God"s or the devil ? I hear people talking about faith. Can these same very
people teach me what faith is ? My faith has taught me this and is enough.
My faith has taught me that and is enough but what exactly this faith we are
talking about no one knows. We criticise the believers and say that they do
not believe in Mary. Can anyone tell me what is that we have to believe of
Mary ? Today the Catholic church has made Mary as a doll with many names..
PLease hunt for that Mary and each one of you who flock to  the church be
another Mary. My hats off to those people. Will we find such Mary in today's
world ? If you are such a fan of Mary, you will definetly try to become
another Mary in this life. If that was so our world would have been a better
place to live.

Re: [Goanet] Goa to withdraw hundreds of complaints to save minister

[Ashley D'silva]

Hello there!
Why do these people behave in this manner? Sooner or later the chickens will
come to roost. 
If this 'Rane person' has threatened Aries then the law should take its
course - why be an obstacle to it?
Might as well take the law into one own hands is it? 

See what happened in Maharashtra to a high profile ex minister. Ultimately
how long could he hide from it? One year , 2 years , 3 years huh?  

Will the same thing happen to The President of India's Kin? If it is true it
will happen, as truth is like a cube of ice in a glass of whiskey - it will
surface someday with a terrible rebound. Please advise this 'Rane person'
not to fiddle with the law.

Goa to withdraw hundreds of complaints to save ministerJuly 7th, 2009 - 2:35
pm ICT by IANS [image: Tell a
Friend]-

Panaji, July 7 (IANS) After hurriedly pushing through a controversial
ordinance changing a 105-year-old law to save a five star resort from
demolition in March, the Goa government is now tinkering with a cognisable
section of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) to save a cabinet minister charged
with threatening to kill a lawyer.
A controversial note by Goa Advocate General Subodh Kantak now seeks that
charges against hundreds of people booked under section 506 of the IPC since
May 2004, including Health Minister Vishwajeet Rane, be dropped on technical
grounds.

Section 506, which deals with various aspects of criminal intimidation, was
made more stringent by the state government in 2004, making offences booked
under the section non-bailable and cognisable to ensure that those arrested
under it would be automatically placed in police custody.

The note dated June 30, of which IANS has a copy, was subsequently endorsed
by Home Minister Ravi Naik and Chief Minister Digambar Kamat. It states that
the 2004 notification rendering section 506 IPC cognisable was bad in law as
it had had not been published in a government gazette, as mandated.

"Notification dated 11.5.2004 has not been published in the official
gazette. The notification therefore cannot be acted upon or enforced or
treated as law until and unless it is published in the official gazette.
Section 506 (of the) IPC, therefore, cannot be considered as a cognisable
and non bailable offence," Kantak has said in his note.

"All FIRs (first information reports) registered by the police under section
506 alone or under section 506 read with any other cognisable offence will
be without authority of law. It is therefore necessary to instruct all
assistant public prosecutors, public prosecutors to withdraw prosecutions
filed under section 506 IPC alone or together with any other non cognisable
offence," he added.

Rane was booked by the police after he allegedly threatened to kill a
lawyer, Aires Rodrigues, over the phone in 2007. The police, who had earlier
refused to file a FIR, were forced into action, following directions from a
trial court.

In March this year, the state government had issued a controversial
ordinance amending the Land Acquisition Act 1894 to legalise 54 illegally
constructed rooms in the Cidade de Goa, a five star resort near Panaji,
after the Supreme court had ordered demolition of these structures.

 COMMENT: As stated before, one law for them another for the rest of
usthey are above the law, or the law can be changed to accommodate them,
including rape (possibly Monsterrate Jr will also get scott free) the man
who raped and killed 14 women can also claim this benevolence.

Goa Government is opening up a can of worms.

Hello Santano,

What you sat makes sense.
Why ? ; If the infrastructure is not ready or created in advanced ; namely
Water , electricity, roads, sewer lines, telephone lines, gas lines ,garbage
disposal system etc there is going to be helluva a problem and all living
there will be inconvenienced terribly to the point of severe agitations
leading to sickness in the form of high blood pressure , diabetes,  heart
problems - in short life will be too stressed for the people for someone
else's comfort.  Its happening in Thane City, Navi Mumbai, Mumbai suburbs
and other places. Whose making  whack are the builders who laugh all the way
to the banks.

So Think Deeply all and consider the +Ves & -Ves.

We goans don't have problem when our fellow goan brothers and sisters buy
properties or settled in other countries, as their government encourages
migration and hence their government are obliged to make law as per these
regulations and they will do that as they have good infrastructure and vast
land and very less population.
