[Goanet] In support of GULAB
Crystal Focus Club President and Managing Committee seizes this opportunity wish Gulab Working Committee on the occasion of Gulab Silver Jubilee Celebrations in Kuwait on 15 August 2008. May the beauty and fragrance of the blooming Gulab continue to inspire all Goans and spread the message of love to Konkani language lovers all over the globe. One Small Rose- Don't Wait- Give Love Now I would rather have one small rose From the garden of a friend Than to have the choicest flowers When my stay on Earth must end. I would rather have one pleasant word In kindness said to me Than flattery when my heart is still And my life on Earth has ceased to be. I would rather have a loving smile From friends I know are true Than tears shed round my casket When this world I've bid Adieu. Bring me all your flowers today Whether pink, white or red: I'd rather have one blossom now Than a truckload when I'm dead. - Author unknown Crystal Focus Club urges all Goans, Goa Clubs, Associations and organizations in Kuwait to render your support to Gulab.

[Goanet] Russian at IPHB refuses to leave Goa .......... he loves India...
Russian at IPHB refuses to leave Goa 6 Aug 2008, 0627 hrs IST, Preetu Nair,TNN PANAJI: A 28-year-old Russian has the Russian consulate in Mumbai and the Goa government in a quandary as he “refuses to leave Goa because he loves India”. However, his Goa junket may just be cut short as his visa has expired and the Russian consulate plans to pack him off to Russia for psychiatric treatment. Alexander’s visa expired in September 2007. Alexander (name changed) was admitted to the Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour (IPHB) on June 11, 2008. Sources at the IPHB reveal that he constantly insists on staying in Goa. The sources also added that when the Russian counsulate’s legal counsel in Goa visited him (Alexander) recently, he refused to entertain the lawyer. “He feels that the lawyer wants to send him back to Russia. Besides, he keeps saying “Satya meva jayate. Mera Bharat mahan”, the sources said. “We are looking into the matter and hope that after due clearance from the Goa government we can take him back to Russia where he can continue his treatment,” said counsel for the Russian consulate in Mumbai, Vikram Varma. IPHB medical superintendent B S Cuncoliencar said, “This is the third time that he has been admitted to the hospital. Whenever he recovers we discharge him and advise him that he is fit to return to Russia but he refuses to go. It appears that he wants to stay in Goa.” The hospital authorities have also written to the foreigners’ registration office (FRO) informing them about the patient’s condition and requesting them to inform the Russian consulate. Alexander was admitted to the IPHB following a complaint from the Calangute police that an “unknown male, appearing to be a foreigner giving all vague answers, of unsound mind was wandering in the market and creating a nuisance in public places.” He was first picked up by the Mapusa police for being a “public nuisance” and admitted to the IPHB in March 2008 for almost 25 days. Later in April he was picked up again by the police and sent to the IPHB where he was treated for almost 20 days. Doctors at the IPHB have diagnosed the illness as substance induced psychotic disorder. However, Alexander has now recovered. They also opined that Alexander is now “fit for discharge” from the IPHB but needs to follow up with a mental health professional on a regular basis. ___ PICK OF THE WEEK var RN = new String (Math.random()); var RNS = RN.substring (2,11); b2 = ' '; if (doweshowbellyad==1) bellyad.innerHTML = b2; presents AITARACHEO KATKUTLEO Lapitt ‘Pai Tiatrist’ Kiteak Khuxeal Na? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gulf-goans/message/20216 The English translation follows: Why “Pai Tiatrist” Feels Sad?

[Goanet] English Play in 2 Acts titled Sweet Poison to be staged by Kala Mogi
From: Tomazinho [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tomazinho Cardozo ‘ASRO’ Orda, Candolim, Bardez, Goa – 403 515 India Date: 07 . 08 . 08 Kala Mogi, Candolim will stage an English play in 2 Acts entitled “Sweet Poison” in Margao and in Panjim. This is the second play production of Kala Mogi, Candolim. They had staged their first English play “The Verdict” in 2006 which was a big success. o is a cultural institution working on the field of Goan culture since the last 30 years. This play is the translation of Tomazinho Cardozo’s Konkani play “Mhonvall Vikh”. It is translated into English by Irene Cardozo. “Sweet Poison” deals with the impact of tourism on Goan society. It was in the beginning the 80’s that tourism activities in Goa started flourishing. There was a boom of construction of hotels in Goa particularly in the coastal belt of Goa . Low income tourists coming from European countries as well as from other parts of India started living as paying guests in private houses. Government started giving financial support to the owners of the houses to renovate their houses if they wished to use them as ‘guest-houses’. Hundreds of Goan families opted to convert their houses into ‘guest-houses’. They began to earn a lot of money by renting their houses to tourists. Tourists, foreigners as well as Indians, began to live in the houses along with the family members. What was the effect of this on the lives of children in the house? Did it affect in any way the culture of Goa ? This is what “Sweet Poison” makes an attempt to expose. Directed by Tomazinho Cardozo, the play features Irene Cardozo, Shivanand Naik, Joslyn Misquita, Selza Lopes and Comedian 64 in prominent roles. They are ably supported by Mathias Mascarenhas, Assis Cardozo, Dnyaneshwar Morajkar, Larisa D’Souza, Manohar Redkar and Tukaram Naik. The stage sets are designed by Timothy Dias. Light Effects are provided by Dnanjay Phalkar and the Background Music by Vikas Chopdekar. “Sweet Poison” will be staged on 9th August, 2008 at 7.00 p.m. at Ravindra Bhavan, Margao, and on 11th August, 2008 at 7.00 pm at the Kala Akademy, Panjim. The admission is free and the English Theatre loving Goans are invited to witness the same. Tomazinho Cardozo and his Kala Mogi dramatic troupe ventured on English Theatre stage in 2006 because there were/are hardly any dramatic troupes producing English dramas in Goa . Secondly, unlike English plays coming to Goa from Bombay and other parts of the country, the scripts of his plays are based on social issues prevailing in the Goan society and the audience will witness something that directly affects their lives. This activity will also give an opportunity to Goan youth to display their dramatic talents on the English Theatre stage of Goa .

The Parra panchayat is committed to be declared the first village in Goa to be declared plastic pollution free village stated Sarpanch of Parra, Mr Benedict De Souza. He has appealed to the villagers not to throw plastic anywhere but to keep it piled outside the house so that it can be easily lifted by the panchayat and then given to NGOs for recycling. Stating that this plastic collection programme has been going on for the last six months Mr De Souza has regretted that there are still some families in the village who are not co-operating with the panchayat. He said all need to co-operate with the attempts being made by the panchayat in maintaining cleanliness in the village so that the village can get nominated for the Sundar Amchem Goa award. The motto adopted by the Parra village against plastic is Plastic waste is not good for anybody neither for the animals nor the environment. Reduce use of plastic. Do not throw it away, give it to the panchayat. http://www.homesgoa.com/WebPages/Maps/Parra/Parra_Assagao.htm http://www.goacom.com/village/parra/ http://www.goaah.com/SP/emerald.php?aid=10sid=28 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzxMtm2kXok - Forwarded by www.goa-world.com

The drinks did not get them into talkative mood unlike those who get bosteriously and loud as we get to see here in our auditoriums. The clock displayed the time as 10 minutes to 4:00 p.m. To get everyone in the grove, famous musician Chris Perry and his musicians commenced an instrumental number based on his own composition ‘Sorg Tujea Dolleanim’ (the Heavens as you see it) and the crowd went berserk in the auditorium. After that, he continued with another song ‘Calangute’ and the resounding clapping and thunderous ovation brought tears like a water fountain! Just hearing the notes of song brought in a recollection of sweet memories. The capacity audience were seen to conveyed their nostalgic feelings. The flow of tears suddenly dispersed into a kind of riverlet. Tasting a drop, its refreshing sweetness.it certified that the earthly sweet memories were alive to the present day! It was now exactly 4 p.m. With the sound of the music, the curtains opened. There was complete silence. On stage, the golden ‘dhumpaunim’ looked liked playing in the air and an unique aroma filled the auditorium. As if walking on the Milky Way, a man descended from the nearby stairs. This man was dark when he lived on earth. But now he attained a different look altogether. The audience was curious and they chit-chat with each other. “Whose he? Yes, I know him”. He walked to the center stage and spoke “Awake, you Goans! I wish you all a very good evening…..” Yes, the crowd smiled in joy. And continued to laugh non-stop. In the midst of the thunderous claps, one could not even hear what he was speaking. On the earthly stage, just if one saw him on stage, he would create a rapturous laughing roit. And today, the same thing happened. Yes, he was Goa’s Charlie Chaplin Jacinto Vaz. His scheduled time elpased so quickly.. and now out comes Alfred Rose from a large GULAB (Rose) flower and walked on stage singing the Konkani birthday song Zolmacho Dis Tuzo. While the song continued, and out from the blue sky and white clouds, Fr. Freddy J. Da Costa seated on 54 Red roses landed amongst the audience. The audience welcomed him to a resounding ovation. Saib Rocha escorted him to the chief guest seat where senior
[Goanet] In good humour - The King of Mimicry Xec Amir (Sheikh Amir)
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- Tri Continental Film Festival 2008 July 25 - 30, 2008 Goa, India http://www.moviesgoa.org/page/tri_continental/ http://www.moviesgoa.org/tricon/schedule_2008.pdf --- In good humour by J. P. Pereira Xec Amir, as he is known in ‘tiatr’ circles, completed schooling from the Mahatme School. He was a regular participant at the school shows and acted on the marathi stage. But the konkani stage beckoned. Amir used to go along with the erstwhile singer John F, whenever the latter had a show. In Premanand Sangodkars’s ‘tiatr’ titled ‘Vatt Chukli’, the young novice was asked to sing a solo. Although a bit apprehensive to perform with the stalwarts, Amir did sing and his humorous song received four encores. Premanad Sangodkar booked him for all the remaining shows. John Claro cast him in ‘Vinglli Nachpinn’ and ‘Civil Kazar’ but it was Fr. Freddy J. da Costa who encouraged and made him into an actor. He was cast along with the great Jacinto Vaz, to do the comedy in hit plays like 'Utt Goemkara’, ‘Khata Pita Dev Dita’ and ‘Goemcho Avaz’. Unfortunately, Jacinto Vaz expired and Xec Amir was without a mentor and partner. He continued acting in local shows and also for Tomazinho Cardozo, whenever the classy writer- director participated at the Kala Academy Tiatr Competition. (Photo courtesy: www.goa-world.com archives) Amir could mimic many artistes and politicians. Here too, Fr. Freddy convinced him to perform mimicry on the konkani stage, as an extra entertainment bonus to the audience. Today Amir has been accepted by the audience of the konkani drama, who go wild watching and listening to him. He made a hit in Anil - Olga’s ‘Chimtti Bor Samball’ and ‘Hem Zhadd Dudhvanchem’ but got an opportunity to act as well as mimic in dramas of the ace director Mario Menezes. ‘Ghorabeache Vantte’ and the latest hit ‘Hi Maim Konnanchi’ have established Amir as one of the top entertainers. Amir has done short roles in video films like Caetano Pereira’s ‘Ghat’ and Socorro de Santa Cruz’s, ‘Fashion’. In the one act play ‘Apsvarthi’ by Carlos Fernandes this talented actor bagged the best actor award on 24 occasions. Besides these, Amir has bagged Kala Academy awards for best actor, best singer as well as for best comedian. He has been felicitated by the ‘KalaMogi’, Candolim, and the ‘Kala Mogi’ in Kuwait and also at the IFFI. Amir appreciates the fact that through ‘tiatr’, he managed to visit places like Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Dubai and Kuwait. He is grateful to John F who showed him the way to the konkani stage, Fr. Freddy for all the encouragement and help, Mario Menezes for teaching him the value of discipline and enhancing the quality of his act and to all the other directors, for their support. To the newcomers, he advises them to be true to the profession and help raise the standard of konkani theatre. He has a plea, to parents to encourage their wards to join the konkani stage if they have the talent and to also teach them music. Amir lives with his wife Anisa, who has been a pillar of encouragement and advice. His son Anif is studying for the 3rd grade violin exam and daughter Ameera already tries to mimic the father. We wish you ail the best Amir and hope to enjoy your performances on the konkani for many more years.

Archbishop Paul-Mounged el-Hachem, one of Pope Benedict XVI's most senior Middle East representatives , said the discussions had begun a few weeks ago. But the archbishop cautioned that the Vatican could not predict the outcome. The discussions come in the wake of King Abdullah's historic meeting with the Pope at the Vaticanlast November. A Catholic-Muslim Forum was also set up by the Pope two weeks ago to repair relations between the two faiths after the crisis caused by a speech he gave in Germanyin 2006, in which he appeared to associate Islam with violence. 'Reciprocity' The disclosure of talks between the Vatican and Saudi Arabia, which do not have diplomatic ties, came soon after the first Roman Catholic church in the Qatari capital, Doha, was opened in a service attended by 15,000 people. Archbishop Hachem, the Apostolic Nuncio to Kuwait, Qatar, Yemen, Bahrain and the UAE, who attended the inauguration, said he hoped there would soon be a similar church for the many Christians in neighbouring Saudi Arabia. If we manage to obtain authorisation for the construction of the first church, it will be an outcome of historic dimensions Father Federico Lombardi Spokesman for Pope Benedict 'Discussions are under way to allow the construction of churches in the kingdom,' he said. Although he made clear the outcome was uncertain, the archbishop added that a church in Saudi Arabiawould be an important sign of 'reciprocity' between Muslims and Christians. The Vaticanhas noted that Muslims are free to worship openly in Europeand demands religious freedom as a condition for the opening of diplomatic relations. About a million Catholics, many of them migrant workers from the Philippines, live in Saudi Arabia. They are allowed to worship in private, mostly in people's homes, but worship in public places and outward signs of faith, such as crucifixes, are forbidden. The last Christian priest was expelled from the kingdom in 1985. Christians complain that rules are not clear and that the Saudi religious authorities, who enforce the kingdom's conservative brand of Islam, Wahhabism, sometimes crack down on legitimate congregations. The authorities cite a tradition of the Prophet Muhammad that only Islam can be practised in the Arabian Peninsula. A spokesman for Pope Benedict, Father Federico Lombardi, said: 'If we manage to obtain authorisation for the construction of the first church, it will be an outcome of historic dimensions.' Story from BBC NEWS: http://news. bbc.co.uk/ go/pr/fr/ -/2/hi/europe/ 7302378.stm Published: 2008/03/18 12:04:54 GMT © BBC MMVIII Saudis to allow construction of a Catholic church? Rome, Mar. 17, 2008(CWNews. com) - The Vatican is negotiating with the government of Saudi Arabiato allow construction of a Catholic church in that country, Vatican Radio reports. Islam is the state religion of Saudi Arabia. The government has not allowed the construction of any non-Muslim place of worship. No religion other than Islam is allowed to schedule public services, and even the possession of Bibles, rosaries, and crucifixes is forbidden. While it is home to 800,000 Catholics-- virtually all of them foreign workers-- Saudi Arabiais the only country on the Arabian Peninsulawithout a Catholic church. However King Abdullah has now given his support to the drive for construction of a Catholic church. Saudi Arabiadoes not have formal diplomatic relations with the Holy See. But in November 2007, King Abdullah became the first reigning Saudi monarch ever to visit the Vatican. Commenting after his meeting with Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news), Vaticanofficials had confirmed that the Pontiff pressed for permission to open a Catholic church in Saudi Arabia. Vatican diplomats have long argued that Islamic states should practice reciprocity in recognizing the religious freedom of their Christian minorities, just as the predominantly Christian states of Europerecognize the rights of Muslims.

Votes in favour of the Government outweighed the numbers in favour of those opposing the motion. Amid the political acrimony during the trust vote debate, Rahul Gandhi today disarmed the BJP when he heaped praise on former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee for working to ease energy shortage. Flagging the point that energy security was vital to reduce poverty and to maintain growth while batting for the Indo-US nuclear deal, the scion of the Gandhi family made a mention of Vajpayee’s role. Participating in the trust vote debate, Gandhi first praised Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for showing “tremendous courage and confidence” by realising the problem of energy deficiency in the country and working for its solution. In the same breath, Gandhi praised Vajpayee saying he “also saw the problem (of energy deficiency) and worked for its solution” in remarks that took the saffron party members by surprise. Apparently finding no response to his charitable remark about the leader of a rival party, Gandhi pointedly looked towards the BJP benches and quipped : “ispe taali mariye, ispe to taali mariye (at least, clap for this).

The budget airline was scheduled to operate its flights to Goa from June 18 thrice a week, to cater to the nearly 500,000 Goans who live in the UAE. The airline, however said the people who had booked their tickets will either get a complete refund or will be provided alternative arrangements, a gulf daily reported. Those who had purchased their tickets from us are not that large in numbers. We are right now working out options so that they do not waste even a single day and are able to travel to Goa, Jayshree Ramchandran, marketing Manager of AIE, was quoted as saying by the Gulf news. Currently Indian airlines operate direct flights to Goa twice a week. Indian, which used to operate thrice a week direct flights to the state, had also stopped its operations as of March 30 due to low seat bookings. One of the reasons being cited for the airline's shelving of its operations is load sustainability after the peak season comes to an end, the daily said. The peak season is from June to December but after that the question is whether or not our flights will operate in its full capacity. Indian already has two flights going to Goa per week and if we were to operate three flights the total number of flights to the state will be five, said Ramchandran. http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/holnus/006200806131222.htm ++ PICK OF THE WEEK: my sportsLife http://gaspercrasto.tripod.com/id8.html ^^^ Anik toddea disanim 'AITARACHEO KATKUTLEO' pustokache rupan bhair sorchem asa.

[Goanet] Fighting coups took most of my time: Goa Chief Minister
Fighting coups took most of my time: CM by RAMNATH N PAI RAIKAR Principal Correspondent/The Navhind Times The Chief Minister, Mr Digambar Kamat on Saturday said the second year of his tenure as the state administration head would witness completion of a number of projects including 4-laning of NH-17 and NH-4A, drafting of Regional Plan 2021 as well as state educational policy, and administrative reforms in five most visited government departments for providing relief to the aam aadmi. Speaking to The Navhind Times on the eve of the first anniversary of his government, Mr Kamat said that he wanted to complete number of projects during his first year as the Chief Minister, but most of his time was spent countering the coups to dislodge the government. Besides, there are natural limitations for the functioning of the Chief Minister, when he is leading a coalition government, and has to take everyone along without hurting anyone, he added. Stating that he never received the expected response from the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, Mr Kamat said that he however, tried to form a consensus with the BJP over several issues like the special economic zones, regional plan and so on. I have also spoken to the leader of the opposition, Mr Manohar Parrikar, who assured me co-operation from time to time, but could not put his assurance into practice,â he lamented. As for the projects to be undertaken during my second year in office, the assurance given by the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, during his recent visit to Goa as regards providing an infrastructure costing Rs 1,650 to the state, would be initiated, the Chief Minister stated. Under this project, 4-laning of the entire length of the NH-4A would be undertaken by the National Highways Authority, from Anmod to Molem, and the detailed project reports for the same have already arrived, he informed, adding that two officers would soon arrive for related land acquisition and the bids will be invited within two months. Mr Kamat also stated that the DPR for the expansion of the second road from Sawantwadi to Patradevi to Polem have also arrived, and once the bids for this project are opened, the Centre would be requested to construct the Galgibag and Talpona bridges on priority. I had also appointed the well-known Goan educationists on the State Integrated Education Council so as to free the education sector from any political interference, he maintained, pointing out, and the Council has today (Saturday) submitted a draft educational policy encompassing education from pre-primary level to technical level. The state education policy would be announced once the draft education policy is debated and discussed upon, he added. The Chief Minister also said that a good interim report on the Regional Plan 2021 has been presented to the government by experts in the field like Mr Charles Correa and Mr Edgar Rebeiro, further hoping that the RP 2021 Task Force would come out with a good draft for the regional plan. The government is also proposing to bring in administrative reforms in five most visited government departments including police, health, panchayati raj, municipality and collectorates, he informed, noting that the collectorates have already been directed to issue various certificates like domicile and caste to the students, within 48 hours. âSuch reforms could also witness changing of roles, he observed. I would also like to stress on the improvement of traffic situation in Goa, Mr Kamat said pointing out that the advice from the expert in the field, Dr P S Pasricha, as well as the Traffic Task Force, besides statistics about the road accidents in Goa and causes for the same would be studied to streamline Goan traffic. On the personal front, besides holding a public Darbar in the secretariat every Monday and at the South Goa collectorate, every Tuesday, I would also try to meet the public at the taluka headquarters, in North Goa, at least once a week, he assured. I have a desire to do work, including undertaking developmental projects on large scale, the Chief Minister said, and therefore, as many people told me, the decision of the Mopa international airport was providentially intended to come during my tenure. Anyhow, the politicians too are part of the society, and I, with all strengths and drawbacks of Goa being a small state, would try to give best governance to Goans, he ended. Congratulations Chief Minister, but get rid of the SEZs and other unwanted, unfriendly schemes/development plans unfavourable to Goa and Goans. A very candid confession indeed. www.goa-world.com Pictures added from Net resources. Kuveittant GULAB-a khatir chollvoll GULAB mhoinalleacho

Goenkara �Tum Ragar Zainaka - a Tiatr by Roseferns
A Goan tiatr on Scarlett Keeling's memory Scarlett Keeling's murder is still shrouds in mystery. Her mother is determined to expose the underbelly of Goan tourism. Meanwhile, famous Goan tiatrist, Roseferns, releases a play called Goenkara Tum Ragar Zainaka in her memory.. CJ: Armstrong Vaz THE MURDER case of the British teenager, Scarlett Keeling in Goa did send the world media into frenzy for covering the mysterious death and subsequent cover-up in detail. Almost three-and-half months later, the interwoven facts and mysteries of her death, inspired famous Goan tiatrist, Roseferns, to release a play called Goenkara Tum Ragar Zainaka (Goan You do not get angry) in her memory on June 1. The tiatr (a popular form of folk-drama for Goans) story is based on Keeling, the 15-year-old British girl whose half-naked body was found at the Anjuna beach in February this year. The protagonists role in the tiatr is played by Antonette de Maina. The play has many people, dancing to the trance music scenes. It explores the supposed plot on her immediate life before her murder. It shows the issues of drug overdose, physical intimacy with two men; her losing of consciousness, and her body, being dumped into the sea and attempts, made to treat the case as drowning or suicide etc. The director, also known as King of Centuries, for his roles in popular hits, which have crossed the 100 mark on numerous occasions in the past, has used the typical Goa beach shack scenes as backdrop to his tiatr. Roseferns family has been entertaining Goan audiences with his popular folk-plays for the last three decades. Incidentally, a Bollywood film, Rave Party, is to be produced by Prabhakar Shukla and set for release in October this year, if everything goes according to the plan of the director, with leading actress Katrina Kaif, likely to play the role of Keeling. It should be learnt that Keelings body is yet be buried as her mother, Fiona Mackeown, has refused to conduct her funeral rites, after she discovered that her daughters internal organs have been missing as the doctor conducting a third autopsy on her body, discovered the missing organs in England. In Goa, two autopsies were conducted, both of which were exclusively on the nature of death. Mackeown had alleged drug mafia links and also that, a ministers son was also linked in hushing up her daughters death, as a case of drowning. Allegations, which have been brushed aside by the state home minister, Ravi Naik, whose son, Roy Naik, has been accused of playing a key role in the mafia-drug nexus along the 105km Goa coastline. With allegations of political links to the death of the girl and the alleged cover attempt by Nerlon Albererque, the police-in-charge of Anjuna police station, and also giving up to the international media pressure, the Goa government had written to the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) to take over the case, which they have not done till date. The CBI, which has been bogged down by a huge number of cases, will make its case clear in the next couple of weeks when they will file their reply at the Goa bench of the Bombay High Court in Panaji, whether it will accept the request forwarded to it by the state government. The high court intervention came when the prime witness, Mike Masala, a British, against whom a look-out notice was issued by the police has not been able to leave the country even after giving his statement to the Goa police. The look-out notice has not been lifted as the CBI is yet to take over the case. Meanwhile, Mackeown and her lawyer, Vikram Vohra have been looking forward to help from the Scotland Yard. They are planning their next legal step. But, if the CBI refuses to take up the case, it will be a big defeat for her as she is hell bent on exposing the corrupt underbelly of the Goan tourism. - Forwarded by www.goa-world.com Goa's Pride - http://www.goa-world.com - Goeam khatir vavr korta to khoro Goemkar punn Konkani boroita ani uloita to niz Goemkar Gulf-Goans e-Newsletter is presented by Ulysses Menezes, www.goa-world.com and moderated by Gaspar Almeida (since 1994)

[Goanet] Unity in social activism need of the hour: Pravin Sabnis
Unity in social activism need of the hour: Sabnis NT NETWORK PANAJI: It was necessary to have leadership in each village and federate groups to support each other in times of need, was the view propounded by Mr Pravin Sabnis, architect, social activist and member of the GBA core group.

Parrikar Venue: Menezes Braganza Art Gallery, Panjim, May 21-24, 2008 http://www.parrikar.org/misc/doc-notice.pdf --- www.goa-world. com Quality. Precision. Professional. A walk to remember The Portuguese legacy still rests in Goa and for René Mendes, a tour operator, taking tourists to the heritage houses of the lost era is more than just a job - it is a passion René Mendes Amidst the hustle bustle of Panjim city rests 'Casa Mendes', a house built in 1938 currently owned by René Mendes. A tour operator since 1974, Mendes' desire is to promote old Goan houses among the domestic and international tourists visiting the state. Some of these houses are 300 years old that have retained old furniture, wooden floorings and balconies, says Mendes while sipping a glass of sparkling wine in his balcony. We want to show tourists our experiences in Goa before 1961, and the period of transition where we adopted a new way of life after the departure of the Portuguese. While there may be not many of these structures left, but the few which are conserved still are maintained at the cost of the owners and Mendes feels that the government should offer subsidies to these owners and that more tour operators must take interest in conducting tours by taking tourists to such houses, allowing them to interact and break bread with the family and know more about their history. Few of the houses Mendes suggests are: Menezes Braganza's 'House of Chandor', Chandor is one of the grandest of the state's colonial mansions Sara Fernandes' 'Voddlem Ghor' or 'Casa Grande', Chandor was built even before the Portuguese arrival 250 years old 'Miranda's House' in Loutolim owned Mario Miranda, a famous cartoonist 'Figueiredo House' in Palolem 213 years old 'Palácio do Deão' in Quepem was built by a priest during the Portuguese rule, now owned by a couple, Ruben and Celia Vasca da Gama. The palace is a blend of Hindu and Portuguese-style architecture. We are trying to identify old houses in North Goa of colonial architecture which are worth seeing by visitors interested in understanding the Indo-Portuguese culture. At the same time, the challenge is that some families are not comfortable with visitors dropping in, informed Mendes. For the Miranda's House, he is also requesting Miranda to allow visitors to view his sketches over the years. Goa tourism too, is taking initiative to preserve and promote heritage tourism by concentrating on old churches, temples, the Spice Village, restaurants spread out in the state that offer authentic Goan food, informs Mendes. And that's not all, other places of interest includes Fountainhas in Panjim, the former Latin quarters with unique structure, design, colour, etc.; St. Inez, and of course the Casa Mendes.

[Goanet] 40th anniversary of the promulgation of the Encyclical Humanae vitae.
TECHNOLOGY CANNOT SUBSTITUTE THE ACT OF MARITAL LOVE VATICAN CITY, 10 MAY 2008 (VIS) - Benedict XVI received participants in an international congress being promoted by the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome to mark the 40th anniversary of the promulgation of the Encyclical Humanae vitae. Recalling that the Encyclical was published by Pope Paul VI on 25 July 1968, the Pope highlighted how the document soon became a sign of contradiction, and pointed out that it constitutes a significant show of courage in reiterating the continuity of the Church's doctrine and tradition. The truth expressed in 'Humanae vitae 'does not change, he said, quite the contrary, in the light of new scientific discoveries its teaching becomes more relevant and stimulates reflection on the intrinsic values it possesses. The Holy Father affirmed that in a culture suffering from the prevalence of having over being, human life risks losing its value. If the practice of sexuality becomes a drug that seeks to enslave the partner to one's own desires and interests without respecting the times of the beloved, then what must be defended is no longer just the concept of love but, primarily, the dignity of the person. As believers we could never allow the power of technology to invalidate the quality of love and the sacredness of life. Natural law, he said, deserves to be recognised as the source inspiring the relationship between a married couple in their responsibility to generate children. The transmission of life is inscribed in nature and its laws stand as an unwritten norm to which everyone must refer. Nascent life, said the Pope, is the fruit of a love capable of thinking and choosing in complete freedom, without allowing itself to be overly conditioned by the sacrifice this may require. From here emerges the miracle of life which parents experience in themselves as they sense the extraordinary nature of what is achieved in them and through them. No mechanical technique can substitute the act of love that husband and wife exchange as a sign of the greater mystery, in which they are protagonists and co-participants of creation. After recalling the sad episodes that sometimes involve adolescents whose reactions display their incorrect appreciation of the mystery of life and of the dangerous implications of their actions, the Holy Father expressed the hope that young people may learn the true meaning of love and prepare for it with appropriate sexual education, not allowing themselves to be distracted by superficial messages that prevent them appreciating the essence of the truth at stake. Freedom must join with truth, and responsibility with strength of dedication to others, also through sacrifice. Without these principles the community of man does not develop and there is a risk of being trapped in oppressive selfishness.

[Goanet] Indian embassy introduces machine-readable passport in Qatar
Indian embassy introduces machine-readable passport Gulf Times /12 May, 2008 The ambassador, flanked by Goel (left) and Sanjiv Kohli, explaining the features of the new machine-readable passport. Right: A sample of the new passport By Arvind Nair THE INDIAN embassy in Doha has introduced machine readable passports (MRPs) in consonance with the guidelines issued by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). Announcing this yesterday, Ambassador George Joseph said the new documents, which are machine-printed and machine-readable, would eventually quicken delivery of consular services at the embassy. Initially, the new system will help the embassy maintain the current schedule of service delivery though the population of Indians has ballooned to 310,000. This effectively means that the chancery is servicing a community of 400,000 people if the visitors are also included, he said. The new booklet conforms to the international specifications. The new e-passports will make it easy for travellers to get easy clearance at immigration counters across the world, the ambassador pointed out. Application form for the new passport is different from the old ones. The photographs should have a light background, not white or black, and they should not be signed across, unlike in the past. The signature should be on the front page. Those who hold hand-written passports have until 2014 to get the new document. There is no need for people to scramble to the embassy to get the new passport, the ambassador said. In most cases, one can wait until the expiry of the current book. Foreigners who apply for an Indian visa should possess a passport which has a validity of at least six months. The computerisation project was carried out by a three-man team from the National Informatics Centre from India. The system was introduced on May 6, said consular attaché Viswanath Goel. Once the transition problems are over, the embassy would be able to deliver more passports and reduce the waiting time, he hoped. At present, it takes five working days to issue a new passport and this schedule would be maintained for now, he said. He said the new system was part of Indian governments policy of introducing e-governance. The passports security zone has additional features. It has a reduced risk of forgery since the photograph is scanned, not pasted as in the past. The passports are largely error-free and more elegant, Goel added. The entire data on the passport will be uploaded to the government system and this would make it easy to seek other government services. At the embassy, checking the application and receiving it would take place at the same counter. This should cut down the waiting time, the officials said. Yesterday, the ambassador distributed letters of appreciation to the computerisation team of Om Prakash, T A Jojo and Ajay Katoch. He introduced Sanjiv Kohli, minister-political and commercial, who joined the embassy recently. Meanwhile, T R Meena has been made the labour attaché at the embassy. He will be responsible for all labour-related matters. He may be contacted on 5572871 to seek any assistance. Answering a question, the ambassador said the embassy had no plans to outsource its services. - Forwarded by www.goa-world.com Goa's Pride - http://www.goa-world.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuCMjzYA3_U Gulf-Goans e-Newsletter (Since 1994) archived at http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ Moderated by Gaspar Almeida presented by Ulysses Menezes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74XIrwvbwCQ - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

[Goanet] Now, Goan football clubs have to register as commercial entities
Now, Goan football clubs have to register as commercial entities by JOVITO LOPES, Sports Editor The Navhind Times PANAJI All professional football clubs in India, including the top six Goans Dempo, Churchill, Sporting, Vasco, Salgaocar and Sesa affiliated to All India Football Federation (AIFF), will have to be registered, henceforth, as legal-cum-commercial entities, following the AFC recommendations on club licencing regulations. The AFC has also suggested that the I-League should be run by a new company which will have equity from the AIFF and the participating clubs. Following the recommendations of the AFC Pro-League ad-hoc committee, the AIFF is expected to set up a separate private limited company to run the Indian League from next season onwards and increase the crowd attendance in order to enhance the chances of Indian clubs participation in next years AFC Champions League. A similar arrangement is in place in Europe. The six Goan clubs are working overtime to meet the deadline for implementing club licencing regulations by October 1, 2008 as some are registered under the Registration of Societies Act while others are part of the main group of companies. The AFC has made it clear that if the Pro Clubs do not change their status, then no Indian club will be eligible to participate in the lucrative AFC Champions League. The two-member inspection team of the AFC Pro-League ad-hoc committee, led by its deputy chairman, Mr Tokuaki Suzuki, had recently visited India and recommended that clubs be managed as commercial entities. The AFC has also made it mandatory that all Pro Clubs should have coaches with A Licence from AFC. Since there are some Pro Club teams with coaches who do not posses the licence, the AIFF will be conducting the course during the middle of this year and those who are coaching the I-League and Second Division National Fooball League teams would be given preference to attend the course. http://www.navhindtimes.com/articles.php?Story_ID=051068 Goa's Pride - http://www.goa-world.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuCMjzYA3_U Gulf-Goans e-Newsletter (Since 1994) archived at http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ Moderated by Gaspar Almeida presented by Ulysses Menezes http://www.freerice.com/ - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

This was followed by his Ordination to the Priesthood at the Holy Family Cathedral in Kuwait on December 3, 1995 by the Bishop of Kuwait, Msgr. Francis Micallef. Incidentally Fr. Francis is the first Priest to be born and ordained in Kuwait. Following his ordination, Fr. Francis left Kuwait to pursue his higher studies in Canon Law on June 19, 1998. He completed his Masters in Canon Law in March 2000, under the Urbaniana University of Rome, who have given their faculties to St. Peters Pontifical Institute, Bangalore, India.

Francis Fernandes died in a tragic accident on 2nd May, 2007, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Fr. Francis served in the Vicariate Apostolic of Kuwait since his ordination on 3rd December, 1995.

He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest His Garden must be beautiful He always takes the best! You left us precious memories, You had always been our guide An inspirational good priest, Will ever be our pride! Adieus to you, dear Father, Adieus to you, our friend, The road that you have traveled Has now come to an end. It saddened us to lose you, You have not gone all alone For someday we will meet you, When God calls us home. - Composed by: Charlotte Noronha - http://www.catholic-church.org/kuwait/fr_francis.htm - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

[Goanet] NRI: Replace Faulty Passports
NRI: Replace Faulty PassportsApril 30, 2008 Colrama Indians Told to Get Faulty Passports Replaced K.S. Ramkumar, Arab News JEDDAH, 30 April 2008 The Consulate General of India has been replacing passports bearing numbers of a particular series free of charge. Passports bearing serial numbers starting from Z-01 to Z-043100 are being replaced with new ones without the usual fee as the numbers have been duplicated while printing them in India, Indian Consul General Ausaf Sayeed told Arab News yesterday. The serial numbers referred to were printed in India in 1995-96 and they are all of 60-page jumbo booklets, which were distributed globally to all diplomatic missions, he added. There is no need to panic about this. There is nothing alarming about it, he said. We have been contacting the passport holders of concerned serial numbers individually and a few of them have already got them replaced. Jumbo passports are opted for by only a few individuals and so the affected number of passports is not big, he added. He did not give a number for the affected expatriates. All that such passport holders should do is visit the consulate here and the replacement will be done forthwith free of charge, Sayeed said. He also clarified that the passports concerned were not canceled, but it was better for the bearers of such passports to get them replaced to avoid any inconvenience in future. Abundant precautions have been taken to see that travel plans of such passport holders are not affected. Visa endorsements on existing passports will remain valid, he said. A consulate official said those already in India with the affected passports should visit the nearest passport office and get new ones issued. - Forwarded by www.goa-world.com Goa's Pride - http://www.goa-world.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuCMjzYA3_U Gulf-Goans e-Newsletter (Since 1994) archived at http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ Moderated by Gaspar Almeida presented by Ulysses Menezes http://www.cry.org/home/crybuddies/register.asp - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

[Goanet] Indian mission denies reports on passports
Indian mission denies reports on passports By Riyasbabu (Our staff reporter) 29 April 2008 DUBAI - The Indian mission in the UAE has categorically denied an Indian newspaper report (published yesterday) suggesting that nearly 500 blank passports had gone missing from the Indian Consulate in Dubai six months ago. According to the report, some of these missing passports had allegedly ended up in the hands of the relatives of one of India's most wanted fugitives. Talmiz Ahmed, Indian Ambassador to the UAE, told Khaleej Times that the report was completely baseless. He said not a single passport had gone missing from the Indian consulate in Dubai. I categorically deny any such incident to have occurred. The report is completely baseless, said Ahmed. A report published in India's The Telegraph newspaper yesterday claimed that nearly 500 passports were found missing from the Indian Consulate in Dubai around six months ago but the matter has been swept under the carpet as it threatens to open a can of worms involving senior officials. Refuting the allegations, a Press statement issued by the Indian consulate in Dubai said, No passports are missing from the Consulate General of India in Dubai and no inquiry has been carried out at the Consulate with regard to any missing passport. No official of the Consulate has been transferred out because of any security lapse. There is no evidence of any passport belonging to the Consulate being sold for any amount. No passport applications are missing and all procedures with regard to the issue of 'loss circulars' are being followed, the statement noted. The statement, however, stated that In March 2007, 20 parcels containing blank passports were forwarded to the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi by the Indian Security Press en route to Consulate General of India, Dubai. These parcels were to be collected by the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi and then forwarded to the Consulate by a diplomatic bag. However, the Ministry of External Affairs discovered that five of these parcels containing 500 passports were missing in New Delhi. The Commandant of the CISF, IGI Airport, New Delhi also informed the Ministry that certain number of passports were found in scattered condition in the IGI Airport area. This matter was reported in the Indian Press at the time. The Ministry of External Affairs, the Indian Security Press, Nasik, and the CISF unit of IGI Airport are inquiring into the loss of these passports in New Delhi, the statement added. Further, the statement said that the Consulate General of India was merely the ultimate destination for the blank passports. According to The Telegraph report, officials of intelligence agencies are still trying to ascertain the damage caused by the pilferage of genuine passports, made at the Indian Security Press (ISP) in Nasik. They are trying to trace the number of the missing passports and see whether the documents have been used for travel. Many of the 500 passports were blank, which means the scope for misuse is extremely high. http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticleNew.asp?xfile=data/theuae/2008/April/theuae_April938.xmlsection=theuaecol= Goa's Pride - http://www.goa-world.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuCMjzYA3_U Gulf-Goans e-Newsletter (Since 1994) archived at http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ Moderated by Gaspar Almeida presented by Ulysses Menezes http://www.cry.org/home/crybuddies/register.asp - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

[Goanet] XVth G.O.A. Rolling Trophy - Goa Maroons, Santos, DBO and AVC in quarterfinals
www.goa-world.com XVth GOA Rolling Trophy Goa Maroons, Santos, DBO and AVC in quarterfinals In the first match of the day Don Bosco Oratory get past United Goans by a tennis score of six goals to one in very dusty conditions. DBO opened the scoring through Philip, as early as the 10th minute. Two minutes later Ratan increased his teams lead. Agnelo of United Goans Centre managed to reduce the deficit just before half time. The second half saw UGC collapse allowing Roshan to add the third for DBO and the young and energetic Steven to score a hat trick to complete the rout. On the adjoining ground Santos FC playing with 10 men in the first half upset Kuwait Goan Association via the Tiebreaker. After a barren first half, Andre put KGA in front in the 8th minute with a rasping shot that beat Santos keeper, Rosario. Their lead lasted just two minutes with Agnelo bringing Santos back on level terms, squeezing the ball under Conceicao under the KGA bar. KGA were unlucky in their attempts as the uprights denied them on three occasions. The tiebreaker was resorted to after extra time failed to break the deadlock. Agnelo, Joywin, Seby and Darwin converted for Santos . KGA converted three tries through Carido, Remedio and Andrew. AVC Sports survived a late scare by Rising Stars (Paradiso) to secure victory by the odd goal in three in the third match of the day. AVC took the lead early in the first half through Savio. Rising Star went all out for the equalizer but were thwarted by Vincy in the AVC defense. After the change of ends, Malvy doubled AVC's lead taking advantage of a defensive mix up. With 5 minutes of the match remaining, Aston reduced the deficit giving Rising Stars a glimmer of hope. AVC held on though, to move to the next round. In the final match of the day, hosts GOA Maroons edged past holders United Friends Club by a solitary goal. Goa Maroons took total control of the match right from the word go, but UFC playing to a sound strategy of defending and making the odd run into the opposition half managed to frustrate the Maroons forwards, Reji, Joe and Philip with some strong defending. Goa Maroons Alex and Augustin in the defense and fleet footed Gaby instrumented raid after raid into the UFC goal, but were unable to score until a moment of sheer brilliance by defender Jaime Figueira who latched on to a pass from Cookie to slot home the winner from just outside the box and ensure a quarter final spot. Matches to be played on Friday (25 April 2008), Santos United vs. CRC Chinchinim at 06:45 on Ground A, Curtorcares United vs. DHL at 06:45 on Ground B, AVC Sports vs. Kerela Challengers at 08:15 on Ground A, GOA Maroons vs. Santos FC at 08:15 on Ground B The tournament is sponsored by Bassem International Trading Co.

[Goanet] BJP claims feelers from six ruling MLAs - is the toppling game on from within?
BJP claims feelers from six ruling MLAs; Cong denies NT Staff Reporter Panaji, April 22 The Congress leadership today stoutly denied that its MLAs were in touch with the opposition to topple the government and that there was no threat to the state government headed by it. On the contrary, the Congress said feelers were being sent to it by some of the Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs that they would like to join the Congress. The denial from the Congress camp came following a claim by the BJP leadership that six of Congress MLAs were in touch with it to topple the Kamat government, that has already faced two serious attempts to dethrone it ever since it came to power on June 8, last year. The Finance Minister, Mr Dayanand Narvekar told The Navhind Times late this evening that the rumours were being spread by the opposition leaders with a view to create confusion in the minds of MLAs and general public. These are the rumours that need to be ignored, he said. The three Congress MLAs' Mr Agnelo Fernandes, Mr Gurudas Gawas and Mr Shyam Satardekar who were on a tour to Australia and New Zealand and who, the BJP claimed, were part of the group of six MLAs that was in touch with it -- have vehemently denied that they were party to any toppling game and that they were very much with the Congress. It is ridiculous on the part of anyone to link us with any group in the toppling game, if at all there is any, said Mr Fernandes who is scheduled to return to the state along with others after the tour of the two nations tomorrow. Earlier, the state BJP claimed that at least six MLAs from the ruling coalition were in contact with it. The six Congress legislators included some MLAs who have been currently on a foreign tour and few others from the group that revolted against the government in January, this year. The spokesperson of the legislature wing of the BJP, Mr Damodar Naik, who along with other 13 BJP MLAs is attending partys chintan shibhir at Panhala, Maharashtra, said that though a few ruling coalition MLAs were in contact with the BJP, one should not expect its immediate political repercussions. However, the BJP was expecting that some political upheaval would definitely take place in the state within months time, he said adding that the government would collapse under its own weight. - Forwarded by gaspar.almeida at www.goa-world.com Goa's Pride - http://www.goa-world.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuCMjzYA3_U Gulf-Goans e-Newsletter (Since 1994) archived at http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ Moderated by Gaspar Almeida presented by Ulysses Menezes http://www.cry.org/home/crybuddies/register.asp - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

[Goanet] VOCATION STORY OF BOMBAY'S 6 NEW PRIESTS ORDAINED APRIL 5, 2008
VOCATION STORY OF BOMBAY'S 6 NEW PRIESTS ORDAINED APRIL 5, 2008 Young seminarians of the Archdiocese of Bombay ordained priests on April 5 share candidly their vocation and eight long years of their exciting journey in faith Six young seminarians of the Archdiocese of Bombay were ordained to the priesthood on April 5, 2008 at 6 pm on St. Pius X College lawns in Goregaon. Correia Denzil, Kinny Thomson, Manaji Ignatius, Pinto Xavier, Rodrigues Oniel, Saldanha Nelson are part of a class of 18 candidates who completed their years of formation in St. Piux X seminary in April 2008. The remaining candidates will be ordained at different times in their respective dioceses, parishes of origin, or as determined by their own Bishops or Religious Superiors. --- Name : Denzil Correia Parents : Francis and Tessie Correia Parish : Our Lady of Bethlehem, Dongri My Vocation I always wanted to be a priest right from the first standard. My inspiration was Fr. Dominic Furgose who was the parish priest at Dongri. He was highly respected and loved by all people. Looking at his lifestyle, and the way he used to conduct himself wherever he went, I too thought of becoming a priest. Of course at that age, I was not aware of the role and the responsibilities of a priest but somehow the seeds of my vocation were being sown by Fr Dominic. My parents also played an important role in my vocation. They were the ones who in fact nurtured my vocation, since they were aware of my desire. They always guided me and encouraged me to go ahead with my call to the priesthood. As I am on the threshold of my priesthood, first of all, I thank God for choosing me to work in His vineyard. I also thank Him for accompanying me throughout my formation at St Pius X College. I will always cherish the time I have spent in the seminary. It is here where I discovered my strengths as well as my weaknesses. A big thanks to all my formators, companions and all those whom I have come in contact with for their guidance, support, encouragement and love. My motto is To walk in the ways of the Lord. May I always imitate Christ in my ministry by being available to people, by being compassionate, humble and approachable, and above all a man of prayer. I request you to keep me in your prayers, so that I may always remain faithful to my vision. May God grant me the grace to walk in His ways. --- Name : Thomson Kinny Parents : Joseph and Bridget Kinny Parish : Sacred Heart, Worli My Vocation The choice of the Lord was not made manifest to me in a spectacular or dramatic manner. It began as an inclination in me to serve the Lord in a better and more holistic way. This inclination grew very rapidly into a desire that could not be ignored. It was fuelled by my prayer life and of course it was centred round the Eucharist. As I look back, I realise that this is how I was chosen by the Lord to be His prophet to the world. I finally joined the seminary in the year 2000. My parents did not in any way place obstacles in my path to the Lord. They wholeheartedly and prayerfully supported me. It was the support and help of my family and relatives that sustained me through the long years of formation. This reinforced the relevance of my theme for me. My motto is You did not choose me, I chose you. My vision for the future is to offer dedicated and holistic service to the Lord and His kingdom. Children and youth are two areas that are close to my heart, and are also the focus of the Church in Mumbai. I am immensely grateful to the professors of the seminary for their patience and kindness towards me in my years of formation. It was their helping hand that has guided me to the altar of the Lord. --- Name : Ignatius Manaji Parents: Michael and Jona Manaji Parish : Holy Magi, Gorai My Vocation The seed of vocation was sown in my heart from early childhood through priests and family prayer, but I never took it seriously. As the years passed by, I was happy with the usual activities of college life and with helping my parents in household work. I became aware of Gods call in my final year of college. The life that seemed to be appealing and fulfilling turned out to be dry. My whole perspective to life changed, and my heart turned to prayer and church activities. But I did not know what was happening within me. I was going through an inner struggle. I thought to myself, How can God call a person like me? This struggle continued, till I decided to join the seminary. When I arrived at this decision, I felt the reassurance of God deep within myself. When I told my parents about my decision, they were not in favour of it, but later they agreed. I ventured into this way of life without knowing it fully. I was like a man standing on the shore without knowing the depth of the sea, but when I started swimming, I realised the depth and the currents. I was able to face all the

[Goanet] Authorities remove mysterious cross from Miramar beach
Authorities remove mysterious cross from Miramar beach NT Staff Reporter Panaji, April 18 A huge wooden cross, almost 5 metres in height, which was mysteriously planted the day before yesterday night on Miramar beach, was removed by CCP workers late tonight. The CCP workers accompanied by policemen brought the cross down, carried it across the sand and put it into a waiting municipality truck and took it to its next resting place, which is the St Inez church. The mayor has confirmed this. The cross embedded in concrete and towering on the banks of the Miramar shore, was already beginning to create a controversy even though it was only two days old. Reports say that some people from a certain Christian sect erected the cross after getting it fabricated at a services workshop. The erection was done early morning and even the surrounding shopkeepers deny any knowledge of when it was erected. The shop owners came to know about this only in the morning. However, there are a lot of theories over how it was brought, with some shop owners propounding the theory that it was brought on a boat and was put up in the middle of night. The CCP mayor, Mr Tony Rodrigues, speaking to The Navhind Times said, he had spoken to the priest about the cross and only after that the decision to remove the cross was made. Sources say that the decision was hastened as some people had threatened to build a temple next to it if it is allowed to remain at its present location. There were many onlookers to see the cross during the day as this news spread around the city. www.navhindtimes.com - Forwarded by www.goa-world.com Goa's Pride - http://www.goa-world.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuCMjzYA3_U Gulf-Goans e-Newsletter (Since 1994) archived at http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ Moderated by Gaspar Almeida presented by Ulysses Menezes http://youtube.com/watch?v=-jXmU_x5mKk - 1st Konkani e-cinema shortly releasing in 'Goa' - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

[Goanet] The import of the Cabinet reshuffle in India - Two Views
doweshowbellyad = 0; It's a judicious mix of experience and youth Jayanthi Natarajan MP and AICC Spokesperson No cabinet reshuffle is a stand-alone exercise. It is always part of an ongoing process of putting together the best possible team to deliver a successful agenda of growth, development and good governance. This latest reshuffle has exactly the same import. There has been feverish discussion in some sections of the media that this was an attempt to give the Cabinet a youthful look, and to that extent, has been half-hearted. The BJP has predictably put forward its conspiracy theory, and spoken darkly about constitutional improprieties. The argument that this reshuffle was a half-hearted exercise, in terms of the youth component, is meaningless. The PM exercises his prerogative to induct ministers, depending on their talent and capacity to contribute. There can be no arbitrary yardstick regarding how many young ministers will make a Cabinet youthful. The assumption that the reshuffle did not go far enough in inducting young people is a perfect example of media speculation, and conclusions drawn from that very speculation. It is also unfair to MPs who are over 40 years of age, and have contributed a great deal to the party and society. Any Cabinet should have a judicious mix of experience and youth. There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution of India that militates against the appointment of M S Gill as minister. The BJP has made it a point to denigrate constitutional functionaries and institutions to further their own political agenda. Whenever a diversionary tactic is required to deflect attention from their own sins of commission and omission, the BJP immediately targets a constitutional functionary. No institution has been spared, including the President of India, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, and various election commissioners. This is perhaps part of the political genes of the BJP. Certainly, the Indian National Congress will never pollute or dilute any constitutional institution with a political taint, and all allegations to the contrary are politically motivated. The prime minister has put together an exceptionally good team, and it will continue the excellent record of performance which has been achieved over the last four years. ___ There's no holistic vision guiding the reshuffle Ravi S Prasad BJP Spokesperson The recent ministerial reshuffle carried out by the Congress-led UPA government is nothing more than an ad hoc patchwork. The absence of honest and objective appraisal of governance, which underpins the reshuffle exercise is, indeed, unfortunate. That is compounded by the fact that such lack of honesty has been displayed by the government in its fourth year of existence. Today, food insecurity and shortages and spiralling commodity prices are the biggest issues afflicting the nation. Has the prime minister carried out a hard candid look at the performance of ministers responsible for the mess? Many key growth-oriented policies are either in cold storage or held up by unnecessary roadblocks. Of particular concern is the state of affairs under the coal and energy ministries, considering that the former is helmed by none other than the prime minister. Another issue of burning importance is internal security. Although so many voices of concern have been raised both within the Congress and its allies, they do not seem to have informed the reshuffle exercise. And then theres the case of fertilisers: all states ruled by non-UPA governments have been complaining of discrimination in the allocation of fertilisers. There has been no examination of why these consignments did not reach hapless farmers on time. Interestingly, there only seems to be a sole consistent casualty of the reshuffle, which is the rather voluble Mani Shankar Aiyar. As far as I can comprehend, there is absolutely no political and administrative judgement or a holistic vision guiding this reshuffle. Of course, there is the very hyped refusal by Rahul Gandhi to become a minister. Something that the Congress has been touting as yet another instance of renunciation by the dynasty. Therefore, an exercise like ministerial reshuffle, which is the prerogative of the prime minister, is being unethically used to bolster the image of the dynasty among the electorate. As for Rahul Gandhi, the less said the better. He is yet to make any kind of tangible impact in Parliament, this after having failed miserably to garner and consolidate electoral gains for the Congress in Uttar Pradesh. We can well imagine what his performance as a minister would have been like. (courtesy: The Economic Times) - Forwarded by [EMAIL PROTECTED] for Gulf-Goans e-Newsletter and The Goan Forum

[Goanet] Russian found dead in Vagator - Another piquant situation !!!
Russian found dead in Vagator NT News Service Panaji/Mapusa, April 14 Within two months of the gruesome killing of Scarlette Keeling, the Anjuna police are faced with a piquant situation, which is sure to give them a sense of deja vu as they have to unearth the reason behind the death a 28-year-old Russian tourist, Kabanov Valdimir, from Mockobckar city. Valdimir had arrived since beginning of this month and had checked into a guest house at Vagator on April 11, according to sources. The police stated that Valdimir was found dead in the guest house on Sunday afternoon. The police added that the owner of the guesthouse informed them, as he was not able to open the door. The police arrived on the scene and succeeded in opening the door that was locked from inside. On entering inside the deceased was found lying dead inside. The police said that they would be able to ascertain the cause of death only after the post-mortem was done. The Anjuna police have registered a case of unnatural death and are not giving any prima facie reasons for his death, especially in view of the Scarlette case aftermath. Media reports say that the Russian consulate has taken cognizance of the death but will react only after the post-mortem report. It may be recalled that the Russion envoy had called on the Chief Minister, Mr Digambar Kamat recently and had taken up the deaths of two Russians with him. The consulates has also appointed a lawyer, Mr Vikram Varma to deal with matters concerned with Russians recently. Russians amounts to second highest number of foreign tourists arriving in Goa with British topping the list. They are also known as good spenders, some say, much better than the British. http://www.navhindtimes.com/articles.php?Story_ID=041539 - Forwarded by www.goa-world.com between -00-00 and -99-99
[Goanet] National Fire Service Day (today) - 14 April
Be prepared: The motto of effective disaster management BY ASHOK MENON/www.oheraldo.in The Fire Services in the country observe National Fire Service Day on 14 April. This day is observed to pay homage to the firemen martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the course of duty and to inspire fire fighters of today to dedicate their services in saving life and property from the ever increasing hazards of fire. In order to generate fire safety awareness, the theme for this year's Fire Service Week is: Fire Prevention: Do it for Life. While it is necessary to pay attention to the day to-day major hazards of fire, it is also necessary for the community to broaden our vision and expand our preparedness to face other disasters as well. The increasing incidence of disasters is creating a devastating impact on the lives, property and livelihood of people. Disasters impede development and consume resources earmarked for growth and welfare. A holistic approach to manage disasters is emerging that integrates the prevention, preparedness, mitigation and response activities. Governments are gearing up to prevent, be prepared and respond to disasters. Preparedness is necessary to strengthen the abilities and capacities to predict and, wherever feasible, prevent disasters, lessen their impact, and facilitate response to handle the consequences of disasters at various levels. One such measure of disaster preparedness is the formulation of disaster preparedness plans at the national, State and district levels. A people-centred approach to disaster preparedness that builds the communitys capacities is gaining significance to enable people to cope with and recover. The biggest challenge is to ensure adequate preparedness on these fronts. India is among the five countries in the South Asian region that meets many of the criteria for disaster preparedness and that has a legal framework in place. The Disaster Management Act, 2005, enacted by Parliament, provides a framework for the effective management of disasters and for matters connected with them. Preparedness involves different sets of activities before, during and after a disaster: Before disaster 1. Formulation of disaster preparedness plans at national, State, local and community levels. 2. Generation and dissemination of information through the mass media about potential hazards, their frequency of occurrence and associated risks. 3. Installation of appropriate forecasting and warning systems. 4. Strengthening of physical infrastructure. 5. Evacuation of people to safer areas. During the eventuality 1. Provision of food, shelter, medical and first aid services. 2. Security arrangements to prevent occurrence of untoward incidents. After the disaster 1. Rescue operations for the affected. 2. Proper relief distribution, including food, clothes and medicine. 3. Restoration of communication systems. 4. Damage assessment and immediate financial assistance. The approach towards managing disasters is undergoing a transformation. Presently, there is an emphasis to adopt a developmental approach to disaster management. This involves ensuring readiness on the part of stakeholders to predict and prevent disasters, reduce their impact and cope with the consequences. It is essential that any support operation be designed and implemented with a long-term perspective. Governments all over the world are adopting a proactive and holistic approach to disaster management. Disaster management aims to integrate interrelated components in an orderly and coordinated manner. This includes activities before disaster, during and after the disaster. Disasters comprise certain elements such as the event, vulnerability of people and destruction. The vulnerability of individuals and communities, in which their lives are threatened and destruction caused to the communitys property, infrastructure, etc, is tested during such events. This brings out the significance of developing disaster preparedness mechanisms and processes to neutralise and reduce the vulnerability of people and minimise loss. Investing in disaster preparedness can save lives.This can be taken up individually as well as collectively. Disaster preparedness is a multifaceted activity. It involves preparation and operationalisation of preparedness plans, community-based preparedness plans, and appropriate use of information technology, remote sensing, disaster mapping, Geographical Information Systems etc. Preparedness for disasters done meticulously, implies half of the problem is solved in advance. Preparedness needs meticulous planning, as a small mistake would result in many deaths. For example, the quake in Gujarat on January 26, 2001 was considered the biggest recorded tremor in India since the Calcutta quake of 1737. While the epicentre was in Lodai, Kutch, the impact was felt through Gujarat and adjoining States. Emergencies do not come with a

AlmeidaG(ji) Aitaracheo Katkutleo: Don Tonddanche Monis_People with two faces [A translation from the Konknni article of Lino B. Dourado's, Don Tonddanche Monis. People with two faces / mouths] Is there such a thing as a person with two mouths. Gods made (created) his creations with only one mouth and when they go back, do so with that same mouth. God, presumably created man in his own image. But today the colors of humanity have changed to such an extent, that not even God would knows to what extent mankind has changed form. However the life that God has give, which we call a soul --- incidentally cannot or ever will be altered. Truly, when this same soul stands before the gates of paradise, for ones existence to be examined --with one mouth but two persona's -- even the one doing evaluation is confused And there happen to be more, many more two faced Goans. Just yesterday, in Saini Sanpura in northern India, about fifty kilometers from Delhi, a child with two faces was born to wedded couple, Sushma and Vinod Singh. Although Lali (the child's name) has one head, other than the ears has two mouths, two tongues, two noses, four lips, and four eyes. This is an odd creation. That this birth has occurred in the modern age on the one hand and on the other the people from that region being superstitious, are visiting her and invoking her blessing. For now, Lali's health is robust and she is drinking her mothers milk with both mouths. According to what God has planned, Lali will grow up and learn to speak. Since she has two mouths, which of those will speak first and how will the other mouth stay shut, or whatever it will to say; this is something we have to wait and see. One head means there must be one brain. Her thinking and behavior will be controlled by her brain. Since she was born with two mouth, while speaking, both the mouths would be employed (towards speech). Amijan, (we call our mother Maim (in Konknni) The Singh's say Amijan) give me water. But her other mouth will not say, Amijan give me something to eat. This is because, her being thirsts for water and not for something to eat. Just because there are two mouths does not mean the child will speak with two mouths (will not contradict her core being). .We have only one -mouth. But that mouth, speaks not only in two, but in ten ways. It appears that perhaps some Goans were born with two mouths. The news of the morning, receives a new form and coloration by the time its evening. We can see this is akin, to what alcohol is to an alcoholic or a drunkard. When he is an alcohol stupor (high), he says one thing and upon coming down fro the high of the liquor which he consumed, will say that he did not say, absolutely did not say those things. Often when you are together with other people, they will speak good things about you to your face. But upon your going away from there having caused some alienation, behind your back that same person will attribute bad words to your person, render your name into a wipe-cloth and hang it among your friends. There are even more Goans with two mouths, who gather or those who come together at some place. And if you are not among them, bab-Eric will narrate your good deeds to everyone. True, is what the people have to say to bab-Eric; he never speaks ill of anyone. But its that same Eric, who when he happens to meets your best friend alone, narrates tales about you (your weaknesses) and in doing so creates ill will (subjects the friendship to a rot). This means, that you cannot judge a person in general but you can judge him individually. Yes, indeed

[Goanet] Students set for Botball competition
Students set for Botball competition Staff Reporter/Gulf Times Teams of students from 17 local high schools will put their robots through their paces in the Qatar BOTBALL competition being hosted by Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMUQ) on April 19 in Education City. The students have been busy designing, building and programming their Lego© Mindstorm robots for the past seven weeks. The teams will compete on a playing field the size of a ping-pong table in a tournament. BOTBALL is a great activity for teenagers. They learn a lot about how to be technically creative, and they learn to use math, physics and programming in a useful way, Carnegie Mellon systems scientist Brett Browning said yesterday. BOTBALL is a US-based organisation that introduces robotics to high schools. Student teams are equipped with a Lego© Mindstorm robot, along with instruction on how to programme it to move autonomously through a course. The programming sessions conclude with a challenge student teams are pitted against one another to see whose robot completes the course. The winning team also must demonstrate the work theyve done in order to programme their robot. The top three teams from Qatar will go on to compete in the Regional BOTBALL Championship on May 24 at the Diplomatic Club in Doha. These teams will square off against the top two teams from the BOTBALL competitions in Kuwait, UAE and Egypt. The winning team of the May 24 final will receive a trip to Norman, Oklahoma, US to attend the 2008 Global Conference on Educational Robotics and meet middle school and high school students, educators, robotics enthusiasts, and professionals from across the world. Additionally, Al Jazeera Childrens Channel is airing a six-part documentary on BOTBALL. The dates and times will be announced on the day of the tournament. The participating schools are: Al Eman Independent Secondary School for Girls, Al Jazeera Academy for Boys, Al Jazeera Academy for Girls, Al Maha English School for Girls, American School of Doha, Amna Bint Wahab Independent Secondary School for Girls, Doha College, Doha Independent Secondary School for Boys, Omar Bin Al- Khattab Scientific School, Qatar Academy, Qatar International School, Al-Resala Independent Secondary School for Girls, International School of Choueifat, Al-Wakra Independent Secondary School for Boys, Gulf English School, Al- Bayan Independent Secondary School for Girls and MES Indian School. - Forwarded by www.goa-world.com Goa's Pride - http://www.goa-world.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuCMjzYA3_U Gulf-Goans e-Newsletter (Since 1994) archived at http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ Moderated by Gaspar Almeida presented by Ulysses Menezes http://youtube.com/watch?v=-jXmU_x5mKk - 1st Konkani e-cinema shortly releasing in 'Goa' - You rock.
