Hi all
Following up from Goanet June 17 vol 10 issue  342 (7). Our language was lost 
abroad when our skilled and educated ancestors who learnt to read and write in 
English travelled with Portuguese and Indian travel documents from the house of 
Mother Goa to Africa mainly to oil the British Administrative Colonial 
machinery, Their off spring were brought up learning  and speaking the Queens 
English as our elders felt this would bring about better employment prospects 
rather than amche bas (mother tongue).   Even today somebody else is always 
considered better by our sorpotelised society, its in the Goan DNA. I have to 
ask that Sorpotel, a  peasant dish of Portugal, is our King Dish, what does 
this make us?   Whatever your academic background your DNA is still the same 
and a large percentage of our people are still employees looking for work 
rather than employers providing work.
World Goa Day is an opportunity on one day out of 365  for organisers and 
individuals families and friends to attempt speaking our language and practice 
our culture and heritage not forgetting our amazing  cuisine and dances. This 
is not difficult if you have an idea in the morning and can get it up and 
running by the evening. The real world has leaders and followers.  However in 
our case our leaders are up against fizzlers a bit like the Tanti (egg)and 
Choriz (Goa Sausage) situation. Let me explain, to make a Portuguese omelette 
one would get gaunti (local) eggs from the Tiantia Pai, bell pepers, tomato and 
onions from the Verdur Kann and for added zing Chorizo from the choriscars. The 
hen lays the egg and lives another dis (day) to resupply ,The Verdur Kann who 
supplied  the tomato, onions and bell peppers also moves on but the Dukor(PIG) 
has to die and give its life away for that added Zing to satisfy the tastebuds 
of our people. Our sincere volunteers in  committee work around the world 
striving for the betterment of our society may sometimes feel like the Dukor. 
Decisions, decisions. when the Idea of World Goa Day was proposed around 1992 
(twenty three years ago) in Lisbon by the Late Jorge and Livia De Abreu and 
seconded by a lady in California it took ten years of toil by Rene Baretto  to 
his credit working alone and spreading the word to have the first World Goa Day 
event recorded in August 2000.   Are we only good for dancing? Dates are 
important, this year 2015 and it is 15 years since the millennium of this 
century and 23 years since the idea of World Goa Day was conceived. As I did 
not make the “Who Died” list on 29 October 2012, can I ask our people with 
acumen to fast forward and stamp out the fizzlers like cockroaches under our 
feet to enable our community that is dying from inside out to sizzle and 
breathe freely as a community once again. Start with World Goa Day August 2015. 
The Twenty Fifth Anniversary is round the corner. Fizzlers can be spotted 
sometimes power dressed as volunteers and appear to be nicey nicey people at 
various entry gates collecting money especially where Revenue and Expenditure 
is unregulated and the income extracted from patrons goes to self-enrichment on 
untaxed income in the name of Charity as long the eh “who cares” I’m  too busy 
with better things to do rather than doing things better attitude amongst the 
majority of our people continues, feeding the greed and lust for money will be 
of  no benefit to any organisation or charity as the pot is always empty, as 
good as throwing money like water into a bucket full of holes.Click the link,

Dear Steven

We were equally upset that a Jesuit Catholic institution has been meted 
out such  cavalier treatment. I can imagine the pain and anguish felt by 
those who I have studied in St. Mary's High School, Mazagaon.  I studied 
at St Xavier's College, Mumbai and have fond memories of my alma mater 
and the Jesuit system of education.


It is sad that political considerations overrule sane  thinking.  You 
certainly have my support in your struggle against authoritarianism.

we were the lesser cousins, compared to the more elite ISC section, and 
many of us, including the likes of chief justice of india justice

with adversity from our school days itself. Even I cherish my tough days

neighbourhood fellow classmates, due to loss of my father’s job, and yet 
managed to clear finally the toughest exams in the country-the upsc-ias- 
standing 2nd in Maharashtra in 1985, probably  now in voluntary 
retirement, I have come out  of my temporary shell.for the past few 
days, I along with so many others have rushed in to express our support 
for our alma –mater. Fr. Frazer mascarenhas , principal St.Xaviers 
College is co-ordinating an action plan alongwith fr. Baptist pinto on 
behalf of the JESUIST fathers running the school. Alongwith all 
stakeholders, yesterday after detailed discussions, the parents , 
teachers and students were appraised of the same. Within next few days, 
the school mgt. will be filing a writ petition in Bombay high court 
against the deputy director order, when court reopens on june 6th or 
thereabouts. We are also filing appeal with the director edcn within 
prescribed 30 days. Classes will be on schedule. We have approached 
theoffice of cm, edcn minister, secretary edcn etc for interim stay for 
next 2 years, so that classes can go on till matter finally resolved. 
Yesterday fr. Frazer and fr. Baptist assured the parents in open meeting 
 that classes will go on, till we obtain stay and pending appeal, in 
any case, classes have to go on till govt makes arrangements for 
students and teachers in alternative neighbourhood schools, as I was 
given to understand by my  ex bureaucratic colleagues.on Wednesday the 
alumni and ex students will meet to discuss ways and means to express 
support. We have the support of the community, and organizations like 
the bcs, csf, vice chairman state minority commsn. In fact I was to 
prepare filing a writ –pil alongwith BCs-I spoke to president Gordon

fr.frazer said that writ filing process already in advanced stage, and 
no duplication. WITHIN THE NEXT FEWDAYS, AFTER THE APPEAL IS FILED, AND 
AFTER WRIT PETITION IS FILED, WE EXPECT INTERIM STAY IN MATTER, AS PER

Hi Rico,
Indeed the state of Public Hospitals in Goa has improved by leaps and bounds. A 
decade back Marelyn and me had occassion to take two road accident victims to 
the GMC at Bambolim.One victim who was unconscious succumbed without being 
attended to. The other who was a medical doctor, conscious, and an Alumni of 
GMC was crying out in pain but the Casualty section would not give him a 
painkiller despite me pointing out that he was a medical doctor who was an 
Alumni of GMC. They told me to purchase a disposable and pthe prescribed 
painkiller from an external Pharmacy. When I did it they injected him with it 
to give him relief. The Medical Doctor survived. After he got well He and his 
wife somehow traced us out & visited us to express their gratitude. A renowned 
Sugeon was then holding charge as the Health Minister of Goa.
 
Cut to recent times, I had a road accident at Chopdem in Goa last year and 
sufferred injuries to my face and arm. On arriving at Asilo Mapusa, I was 
promptly put in a wheelchair and taken to the Casualty where I was carefully 
put on a Bed. Two nurses approached me with two injections. One injected me 
with a painkiller and assured me that the pain would go away in seconds. The 
other inquired of me whether I had taken Tetanus injection over the past12 
months. On being informed in the negative, she injected me with the tetanus 
toxoid. In the meantime the Doctor cwho was attending to another casualty 
examined me, ordered X-rays, which were quickly taken and showed to him. He 
told me that there were no  fractures to my face, skull or arm and offerred to 
admit me for observation for 48 hrs for observation. I thanked her 
profusely,declined and limped out. They wished me speedy recovery and told me 
not to hesitate to come to Asilo ,in case I encountered any
 related medical problems. Gosh, WHAT A SEA-CHANGE. These are factual accounts. 
YES MEDICAL CARE IN GOA IS DEFINITELY IMPROVING. Lets give credit and encourage 
the system whenever it delivers so magnificently..
Regards,
Gerry.
 
P.S  The Asilo Staff did not even ask me my name or my identity.On full 
recovery I visited Asilo and thanked the concerned Staff.

Dear John,

I recently returned to Australia after my annual trip to India. While in Goa, I 
visited the St. Inez area of Panaji. I request everyone visiting ‘Goa’s first 
Mall’ to take a walk behind the Mall to see something that really appalled me.

A huge generator and other equipment has been installed directly in front of 
the gates of a residential complex. While people are invited to shop in 
air-conditioned comfort (and the tills of the Caculo Mall ring merrily on), 
residents living behind the mall are forced to endure the constant noise of the 
equipment and breathe in the toxic, possibly cancer-causing, fumes being 
emitted. While the front facade of the mall sparkles, garbage from the mall is 
strewn at the back, right in front of these residential buildings. With loading 
and unloading taking place just in front of the building entrance gates the 
peaceful residential neighbourhood has been turned into a dirty fairground 
area. Residents (and patients at the nearby hospital) often have to endure 
loud, blaring music till the mall shuts down at 9:00pm. There are daily traffic 
jams caused by insufficient parking and the road to the hospital is often 
blocked, making it usafe for pedestrians, elderly
 residents and young children. Yet work is now on to expand the mall even 
further. Is this a deliberate move to dislodge the residents and the hospital 
and take over this prime space? How can gross violations like this be 
tolerated, more so in Panaji’s beautiful heritage city?

regards,
Shubha

Panjim/Margao/Pilar-Goa.


Sir,

Sub: Supreme Court 'ORDER'  to free COMUNIDADE LANDS from Private and 
Commercial use - A Press Statement for kind favour of Publication.




The Goa Su-Raj Party, while hailing the recent Supreme Court 'Order' 
declaring transfer of community (COMUNIDADE) land for private and commercial 
use as illegal, congratulates, in no uncertain terms,  the Association of 
Componentes of Comunidades (ACC) of Goa for this VICTORY.


The Goa Su-Raj Party, which primarily had the restoration of the 'autonomy' 
for the COMUNIDADES of Goa in their functioning on its radar scope as the 
motive in its formation in the year 2000, feels vindicated in its stand and 
thanks the Supreme Court bench of Justice Markandey Katju and Justice Gyan 
Sudha Misra  for this coup de grace in declaring that the above 'order' is 
applicable with retrospective effect.


Starting with the  illegal Invasion of GOA by India in 1961, and the 
subsequent conspiracy of the Bandodkar regime since 1963, Goa's age old 
COMUNIDADES SYSTEM OF community land management was hijacked to favour VOTE 
BANK politics. The collusion of the 'Centre' with the successive  State 
governments of the Congress Party
in Goa to hock the Comunidade lands, especially the agricultural lands, at 
throw-away prices, as if it was the God sent 'MANNA' from heavens above, 
has been struck-down by the esteemed Apex Court in the sentence used in the 
said 'Order'


quote
The Scheme must provide for speedy eviction - Long duration of such illegal 
occupation or huge expenditure in making constructions thereon or political 
connections must not be treated as a justification for condoning this 
illegal act or for regularizing the illegal possession"

Unquote

This 'Order' will now also pave the way to demolish the Bandodkar regime's 
'Tenancy Act' .. having been given the sanctity of 'LAW' by the subsequent 
first  CONGRESS GOVERNMENT lead by Pratapsing Raoji Rane ( the Mergerist CM) 
to free the agricultural holdings of the COMUNIDADES and revert them back to 
the lawful OWNERS.


Towards the implementation of the above "Order' of the Supreme Court, the 
Goa Su-Raj Party wants to see the first casualty  for the usurpers of the 
Comunidade land and the victory for the Comunidades in the reverting back to 
the original status,  the land surveyed under PT Sheet No. 163  - Chalta No. 
5/4  with an area of 4100 sq. meters, belonging to the COMUNIDADE OF MAPUSA, 
tenanted to Shri. Govind Rama Naik, illegally transferred to the possession 
of Shri. Raojee S. Rane and presently under construction at foundation level 
right next to the Ajay Supermarket at Morod, Mapusa.


Thanking you,

Yours truly,
for Goa Su-Raj Party

I was sitting in the balcony of my house a year ago, when a Gujarati broker 
walks up to me and says "Are you selling your house.  If so, just name your 
price." I just insulted him but  If I was a man, I tell you, I would have 
kicked him  This is sheer pimping, Man. 
 
 Yes it is entirely our fault, we have let this happen and now the filth has 
hit the ceiling.  It is not the foreigners who are ruining Goa, it is this 
flotsam and jetsam from the rest of India.   Foreigners (except for the 
Russians) live in a disciplined environment and most of them who have bought or 
rented houses do everything to blend their homes in the local topography.
 
Why are such tall structures allowed to mushroom everywhere without proper 
infrastructure like water, garbage clearance etc.  Who is responsible for 
granting these permissions.
 
Why cant all these Rajasthanis selling their cheap wares sell them in their own 
state. Why are there so many north Easterners in Goa. What business are they 
doing. Under the guise of Massage parlours, nefarious activities are going 
on. When I visited Kripa sometime back (Kripa is a huge NGO working among 
people afflicted with chemical dependence and HIV), I was shocked to see that 
the highest concentration of their centres in India is in the North east. I was 
told that alcoholism, drugs and HIV was rampant in these areas. And these 
people are running amuck in Goa. Why are there no strict rules against all 
these activities, penalties for indiscriminate garbage dumping, drugs, drinking 
and driving, smoking in public places.   If  there are strictures imposed all 
these riff raffs will run away.  Mumbai might be filthy also, but there are 
strict rules against certain things 

Also  Why are the newspapers (as you rightly mentioned Soter about the Herald), 
local estate agents advertising houses and flats and showing them to these 
people. 
 
Calangute Candolim Baga belt is already a tragedy .  For Goans like me who 
played on these beaches as children with only the sand, the sea, the 
wind whipping at our faces and a few Tea and bhujjia shops for company, this 
mess is a veritable and painful eyesore.  
 
However, what is done is done,but we have to save this state from further 
peril. How is the burning question.

Bernice,
The reason why the riff - raff of India just march into Goa is that they can 
continue their nuisance without any hindrance from the locals who have 
become easily purchasable commodities. In fact migrants will literally throw 
you a challenge that they can get anything done in Goa. I just feel amused 
that our markets are entirely controlled by guys who do not know a word of 
konkani. Besides Mumbai, I have not seen this phenomena anywhere else in the 
country.
Recently a friend of mine, an the IAS retired, was asking my opinion on 
buying property in Goa. I just ignored her. She got the message.
Forget our politicians, our goans are for sale. Wasn't the former GBA 
convenor classifying a Delhiite as a goan?

Dear John Gomes,
Re: "Who deleted most of my submission?Re submitting" John Gomes


Your post appeared as it on Goanet. It appeared in full. NO QUESTION
ABOUT THAT. It was I--Venantius who in my response deleted what was
not essential to what I wanted to say. did. Basically I was looking at
a particular strand in your statement to make a point--I believe would
be of interest, ie., regarding tactics and their apparent origination,
as well as the felicity of an/any/those actions. So again, rest
assured that your post appeared in full on Goanet!

In a response, many of us do not deal with the entire text. I in
particular, only see certain areas and make associations that the
existing text may not allow one to do so. I also did not need to have
the Shiv Sena in what I wanted to say. The last part--"forcibly
emptying milk tankers on the road as protest with impunity!??: allowed
me that tangent to make a specific extrapolated analogy of relevance
with Bove and onwards, as you will see below.

This furthermore does not mean what you said is of no consequence.
Others may deal with it in its totality. I hope someone does.

Here below to reiterate what I said earlier vis-a-vis the part of your
text: "forcibly emptying milk tankers on the road as protest with
impunity!??
Perhaps various political party strategy planners, are more than aware
of the splendid protest tactics of Jose Bove's, and others. But those
tactics have deeper reverberations 'neath them. Not sure, as in in the
European cases, whether in India it was the farmers themselves dumping
their milk, thereby making a choice to be affected directly in the
process of doing so(making a political statement), instead of the milk
of many small dairy farmers (or some big ones) being spilled against
their will (basically no choice) for someone else' strategy/agenda.

Frederick seems to be battling a crisis of elementary logic.
Comparing Bombay to Goa of everything?
I am yet to hear that Goans who migrated to Mumbai were conciously involved in 
converting Mumbai into a mini Goa by controlling the politics and imposing 
their culture and language. Could the most learned social entrepreneur 
Frederick cite me some authentic information on this negative influence of 
Goans in Mumbai?
Again talking about pro-Africanisation, has Frederick any authentic information 
that Goans were the cause for so much of asian hatred in Africa? Have Goans 
been the cause of asian hatred anywhere in the world? Do Goans abroad continue 
to speak among themselves in marathi, gujarati, tamil and malyalam 
irrrespective of whose comapny they are in?

This is a strange argument -- let's spoil Goa's name so that the "bhailo" is
not attracted to it. Let's quickly shed all our positive attributes  so that
others find us distasteful (and don't come to settle here).

This, to me, would be cutting the nose to spite the face!

Mario is probably right. The difference is, however, that the average

He isn't in blame-mode, blaming everyoneone in sight in a random
manner because in his perception the problem has suddenly gotten
worse. Also, I know many here who are attempting, in some way, to
build a solution. The attitude isn't one of
thank-god-that-I-got-away-and-I-need-to-convince-myself-it's-a-sinking-ship, as 
we often encounter in cyberspace.

Goa to confront the growing mess there.

I don't remember any of them maligning RGs in any way, shape or form.  I 
distinctly remember Carmen asking to meet with RGs in order to compare notes 
and formulate strategy.  I don't remember Rajan asking for anyone's help in the 
actual legal actions he has taken at his own expense.

Suddenly from out of the weeds we saw a furious attack on all "foren" NRGs by a 
couple of RGs, for no apparent rhyme or reason, maligning them, their motives 
and their credentials, especially those with "foren" citizenships.

One of them, who has done precious little for Goa while watching with glass of 
feni in hand as the mess developed, ostentatiously claimed that "we and only 
we" - referring to RGs - could fix what is wrong with Goa.  Oh, really?  Where 
then were "we and only we" since 1987?

All this is documented in the archives waiting until Fred has time to catch up

The attack on the house and other property of a person from Colva accused of 
producing a controversial CD is to be condemned. Such means resorted to by so 
called followers of Jesus Christ, that too during Christmas, and supposedly 
provoked by lay church leaders is all the more deplorable. Are we any beter 
than the Bajrang Dal, Ram Sena, Taliban and all such fanatical fringe elements 
that suppress freedom of expression through terror. The hurt sentiments are 
understandable but will violence acheive any solution? In fact, the attack on 
the producer generates more publicity, curiosity and sympathy among the people 
which would only boost the sales of the CD. Instead of denying his involvement 
in inciting the parishioners as reported in a section of the press, the Parish 
Priest should have outrightly condmened such use of violence as it is against 
christian teachings. 
It is unfortunate that people of Goa have got enough time and energy to quarrel 
on issues of religion but hardly anyone reacts over abuses against the human 
person, especially woman and children, and the mass scale rape and plunder of 
Goa's natural resources. 
Will Goans invest  their capacities and energies for more productive purposes 
in the New Year 2010 in order to establish the kingdom of Justice and Peace in 
the world which  the message of Christmas is all about?

Once again, we see the absolute garbage on cancer that Fr. Ivo has been 
posting.
***Mario is come back with his barrage of postings. The text is taken by 
me from Dr.Tullio Simoncini's Website. I have already said that it has to 
be investigated. The origin of cancer given by him may not be correct. 
What is "absolute garbage" in my posting? Does Mario understand it?


We are also seeing a relentless barrage of unscientific and untested 
"alternative" medical information from Con Menezes as Santosh has begun 
to point out.
***What is wrong if the Website of Dr.Tullio Simoncini is brought to the 
knowledge of the readers?


Why are these non-physicians posting information on serious issues like 
medicine and medical treatments from sources that promote medical 
information that has not been reviewed or tested by any respectable 
medical authority, that could lead to serious health problems for anyone 
who thinks this information is medically legitimate?
***Any one is free to judge for themselves. Let there be a discussion with 
several people from the field. Why "non-physicians" cannot post 
information about medicine for discussion?
For example, if anyone out there believes Fr. Ivo's blanket garbage that 
cancer is "incurable" and acts accordingly by delaying testing and 
treatment, their lives may be put in jeopardy.
***I did not advise such foolishness. Mario is such a fool to 
misunderstand my clear statements. Once cancer is detected, it has to be 
immediately treated by cancer specialized hospitals. Have I advised 
anything different?
I even mentioned surgeons and physicians who would immediately send the 
patients to Tata Memorial Hospital, even though they thought that it would 
not be cured, totally and permanently ("let the people have the consolation 
of having done everything for the patient"...). I have given examples of 
those who were declared "cured" after surgery, chemotherapy and radiation by 
the
Hospital, but have died within one month... How do I put lives "in 
jeopardy"?
Nobody is going to "delay testing", but being asymptomatic it may come to 
knowledge at a late stage... Did I say that nothing should be done for 
treatment of cancer, though most of the times it will be palliation and
prolongation of life? Is this not a serious necessary attempt? Why is Mario 
misunderstanding and belittling the "non-physicians"?
NONE of the "alternative" medical information that Con is posting has 
been tested by any credible authority.  NO ONE should believe any of this 
information without checking with a legitimate physician - some of it may
be harmless, some of it may be harmful for your health.  No one really 
knows within any probability of effectiveness.
***That is precisely what is being done. It is being tested on thousands 
of cancer patients by Dr.Tullio Simoncini. How many "legitimate 
physicians"

have tested Dr.Simoncini's new method?
A PRIEST with no medical training cannot be allowed to spread such 
falsehoods in a public forum without rebuttal by medical scientists like 
Santosh and the other practicing physicians who are members of Goanet,

many of whom are strangely silent.
***Mario does not understand anything. I challenge any physician on this 
point. Dr.Santosh is just quoting American statistics.
This is not happening here under our eyes. We do not need any medical 
training for this statement. I have spoken to physicians and surgeons, who 
do agree with me totally. A Priest without any medical training will be able 
to confirm the "fact" of cancer patients with the experience of the people. 
With my pastoral concern and medical training I am meeting cancer 
patients...who
have taken all medication from cancer hospitals, but are just eager to know 
whether they are going to live for some time... I can only advise them: "Be 
not afraid. Mario Goveia in America is living (with cancer...) for some
years, so you also will be living in Goa..." Let Mario not accuse me of 
spreading "falsehoods in a public forum"...

Frederick, I need English word for 'Shabduli', a little flower which
blossoms generally in monsoon evenings and wilts by morning. It has
mild fragrance and either deep or light pink petals with lightest
yellow stem. The plant is no more than 2 feet high. I have not seen it
in the last many many years in this conctrete jungle called Goa. Can
you help me?

 Apparently she is of Goan origin!

  The criminal case against both, US agents as well as Italian police, has 
since been dismissed. The spectacle was staged, a political reality in today's 
Europe. I refuse to believe she was not privy to some behind the scene facts, 
and had not been urged to bear with the Agency: she chose to go bare, instead !
  There is no precedent for her conduct. When you sign on to work in the 
shadow, for profit no less, you stay in the shadows. She does has her rights, 
in a civil society, but she took an oath to serve in a cloak and dagger outfit 
that goes up against groups that have few such compunctions. She had also 
sworne allegiance to her adopted country, earlier, and done so voluntarily.
 Will a recruiter remember her,the next time an India resume lands on his 
desk !
 As an aside, army personnel may not sue the government, under any 
circumstances.  eric.

Hi Gabriel,

When I saw this article in Portuguese posted on GRN by Teotonio
D'Souza, my first reaction was "my God, I wish someone translates
this".

I could understand barely 25% of the article but I knew it was a
jewel. I did not ask Teotonio to translate as he usually says "I don't
have the time". I could only hope someone took it upon himself to do
it.

I thank you and much appreciate your trouble. Never have I read such a
retelling of the account of December 1961 as this from General of
Police Azaredo, the "enemy". It was well and simply written, told in
full truth and with no bias towards either side. If I at all detect
some bias, it is in favor of Goa and Goans.

What a beautiful historical narrative and what skill in your
translating it into good English.
I recommend it to all Goanet readers.

Thanks again,

Hi Nick,

Thats a valid question. Goans have one last chance to do something at

polls this May. To vote for Goa's highest qualified Chief Minister
Candidate
Technocrat and IIT-educated Manohar Parrikar into power before he is
summoned to Delhi to be a PM candidate to replace the erudite Dr.
Manmohan
Singh.

Why should foreign companies chose Goa when it is being ruled by GOAN
GAON
GOON CHORS who are making a GAAN of the place like Father and Son Rane,
Mickey Pacheo, Churchill and Joaquim Alemao ?

It is now or never for Goa - To have the highest educated technocrat as
Chief Minister and reign in the rich foreign IT companies and provide
high
paying job opportunities for Goans or be relegated to the lower rungs
among
Indian states as a tourist haven. If the Chief Minister is an IITian,
then
he understands IT and the needs of the IT industry and foreign IT
companies
will just flock to the place !

I think you have some "pearls of wisdom" with a totally independent "Save 
Goa party".
A few successful Diaspora Goans skilled in their own line of work and 
willing to sacrifice 4-5 years for Goa (with no pay) will give the "Save 
Goa Party" and Goa a fresh breath of competence and honor in government.
Their seriousness of purpose may break the cycle of incompetent local 
politicians.

Something like what Sam Pitorda did in Delhi.

Party" - a new party you may have to float - you will win with a 
rip-roaring

majority ! The Save Goa movement is getting a lot of traction at present -
its time to capitalize on its popularity.

Blogging is also a communication tool you could use to complement your Town
Hall Meetings with the electorate, in order to keep in touch with your
electorate 24/7 and keep your finger on the pulse of the place. At PAN IIT
2006, we use Blogging extensively and effectively - ask Ashank Desai for
details.

Call / Email me any time. In May, you gotta beat all the GOAN GAON GOON
CHORS who are making a GAAN of the place !

Best Regards,

Carmo

Re: [Goanet] FW: Re: Manohar Parrikar for CM, PM !

2006-12-25 Thread JoeGoaUk
thanks, 

that was a nice one and perhaps, at the right time.
Believe me or not, I too wanted to write on this..

Yes, there are two main things the Goan Christians worried about..
1. BJP = Pro-Hindu Party.
Change it, form a regional party of your own with clear election manifesto 
(i.e. treating all
Goans same etc) Change it to any name, preferably,with the word 'Goa' in it but 
not 'BJP Goa'
it could be 'new goa party' or SGP (Save Goa Party) etc etc 
 

2. IFFI
Lot has been talked about it against you or the BJP for last two years or so. 
You just don't
worry about this any more. People now know about it all. Thanks to the people 
like JoeGoaUk
who showed the world what IFFI is all about.

Btw, can anybody forward me Mr. Parrikar's email ID please ? 
The one which is how at the Goa.Gov. site is not working, all mails come back 
undelivered.

==
I forgot to ask him when I visited him on his birthday recently.
=
Was also surprised to see Churchill Alemao there on his birthday.
And wait a minute, let me worn you, just changing the party name and keeping or 
taking in some
 existing politicians, will not help at all.
However, You may take in Mathany Saldanha (Cortalim MLA), for other pl consult 
us.

Hi Manohar,

You know that all of us Goan IITians and the Goan intellengentsia want you
to win the May elections. You may have many critics who want you to lose,
But here is a note (see below) from a concerned Goan IITian Dr. Samir
Kelekar who also wants you to win. You really need to listen to all of us -
critics and fans as you stage your comeback. Our Great State of Goa will be
the real loser if you do not win ! I personally feel you should launch your
own party and call it the SAVE GOA PARTY and you will win hands down.
Frankly, Congress sounds too much like a "Do Nothing" party to me and as a
Christao Goan BJP sounds too much of a "Goan Kokne-chi" party. So many Goan
Christaos may feel isolated just because of the name of your party ! So do
something about it !

Hi Manohar,

You know that all of us Goan IITians and the Goan intellengentsia want you
to win the May elections. You may have many critics who want you to lose,
But here is a note (see below) from a concerned Goan IITian Dr. Samir
Kelekar who also wants you to win. You really need to listen to all of us -
critics and fans as you stage your comeback. Our Great State of Goa will be
the real loser if you do not win ! I personally feel you should launch your
own party and call it the SAVE GOA PARTY and you will win hands down.
Frankly, Congress sounds too much like a "Do Nothing" party to me and as a
Christao Goan BJP sounds too much of a "Goan Kokne-chi" party. So many Goan
Christaos may feel isolated just because of the name of your party ! So do
something about it !

As Gerson DaCunha told you yesterday, the Goan Intellengentsia wants you
back a CM - but what are you doing about the rest of the electorate who make
up the majority ? For example how do the following common-folk benefit by
voting for you and how are you communicating wth them ? the render, the
poder, the shetkar, the bhatkar, and their mundkars ? the Tarvotti or the
Gulfee or the retiree ? the businessman and entrepreneur, and the common
hard-working Goan in Goa ? So you should explain to each of these
constituencies how they will personally benefit and prosper if they vote for
you and your "Save Goa' party. Of course you cannot expect any votes from
the chors, smugglers and swindlers in Goa - You have got too much of a
Corruption-free, Clean  reputation - let them vote for Congress, the Alemaos
and Mickey Pacheco !

Also, as I told you yesterday, you are not the only most prominent son of
Parra, Goa. You have to share the honour with my friend and hockey Olympian
Merwyn Fernandes - May be Merwyn should be your running mate for the Save
Goa Party and like fellow India and Indian Airlines hockey player Aslam Sher
Khan, he will ensure you a facile victory in the May elections !

Regarding ensuring you the South Goa vote, my cousins Demino D'Cruz of Baga,
Velim will get you all the AVC votes and Ashley Fernandes of Cansaulim will
get you all the Cansaulim, Velsao, Cuelim votes.

We  Goan IITians really want you to win - for the Greater Good of our
beloved Goa - before the BJP and others consider you to be a PM at the
Center after Manmohan Singh ! Time is running out !

Best Regards,

Dr. Carmo D'Cruz,
Goan, IITian from Velim, Goa.

Parrikar had a great chance, but messed it up due to
his arrogance (he cannot work as a team) and his
communal views. Definitely, he is known to be not
corrupt and has some great qualities (super brains),
but that is not just enough in politics. In politics,
one has to take people together with you, and one
cannot antagonize people. Also, communalism in a place
like Goa is a sure road to defeat.
