[Goanet] World Goa Day
Many fathers have claimed paternity for the World Goa Day. Including Goa Sudharop since 2000 [https://www.goasudharop.net/worldgoannetwork], Rane Barretto since around the same time [ https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/goans-across-the-world-gear-up-to-celebrate-20th-world-goa-day-to-reconnect-virtually/articleshow/78818144.cms] or the World Alliance of Goan Associations [ https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/goans-across-the-world-gear-up-to-celebrate-20th-world-goa-day-to-reconnect-virtually/articleshow/78818144.cms] again from the mysterious year 2000. Some in the Gulf though have been saying that they've has this event since the 1980s, and maybe the idea was cut-and-pasted from them. Whatever the case, cyberspace connected Goan communities and made it happen, though it didn't end Goan factionalism. Which is they they say, if you have two Goans, you can start a party, three you can have a coup, three-and-half could create a revolution, and four you'll have three parties...

Re: [Goanet] Goan writer
Wonder if anyone could put together a collection of Goan short stories in Portuguese. Preferably, in translation. I'm sure it would be easy to publish, and my alternative venture Goa,1556 [http://goa1556.goa-india.org] would surely be interested. Thanks for linking us up with another era and another language which we know so little about, Dr Pereira! ---Frederick Noronha. PS: Most people in Goa aren't part of mailing-lists. Would be pleasantly surprised if Epitácio Pais is. 2009/4/20 Jose Pereira eximi...@hotmail.com: Epitácio Pais was born in 1926, and is now 83 years old. He started writing in the late 40s, published his short stories in the O Heraldo in the 50s, and, in the 60s, transmitted them over the All India Radio. The high point of his career came in the early 70s, when 13 of his short stories were compiled in a book and published under the title Os Javalis de Codval (Lisbon: Editorial Futura 1973). Goan short story writing in Portuguese, never prolific, was initiated by Júlio Gonçalves (1846-1896) in the late 19th century. Inspired by the matchless style of the great Portuguese novelist Eça de Queirós (1846-1900), it attained maturity in the satirical short stories of José da Silva Coelho (1889-1944) in the early 20th century. Finally, it can be said to have climaxed in the late 20th century in the work of Epitácio Pais. Manuel de Seabra, the acute historian of Goan writing in Portuguese, compares Epitácio to the great 19th century Russians like Turgenev (1818-1883) and even to Dostoievski (1821-1881) himself! But Epitácio lives, and knows about his own life better than any one else. Break your silence and speak Epitácio, we are all ears! -- FN * http://fredericknoronha.wordpress.com http://twitter.com/fn M +91-9822122436 P +91-832-2409490 http://fredericknoronha.multiply.com/ http://goa1556.goa-india.org Sent from Pune, MH, India quot;In 5 years, OS/2 will be the answer to a trivia question.quot; - Marty Taucher
