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, turn up the volume and enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElLpKewnxp4 Melvyn FernandesThornton Heath, Surrey, United Kingdom21 June 2015 =What does it feel like making a Pig of yourselfie click on link 2C 1:14PIGS SNORTING GRUNTING SNIFFLING SNUFFLING PIG SNOUTyoutube.com

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. Warm wishes Rudy Pinto http://aerophilatelist.blogspot.com/

Even I cherish my tough days at my alma mater, wherein I worked thru school giving tuitions to 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 dsouza who promised full support, but we kept it on stand by since fr.frazer said that writ filing process already in advanced stage, and no duplication.

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.

To: johnericgo...@yahoo.com Date: Tuesday, 22 March, 2011, 5:35 PM 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

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.

Re: [Goanet] Fw: RE: Goanet Digest, Vol 5, Issue 1215 - Respect our Right to Identity
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.

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. venantius j pinto ++ > Message: 2 > Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 23:20:45 -0700 (PDT) > From: John Gomes > To: Goanet Org > Subject: [Goanet] Fw: Re: Goanet Digest, Vol 5, Issue 795 (Nudism..Dr > Kamat) > > Who deleted most of my submission?Re submitting > > --- On Fri, 30/7/10, John Gomes wrote: > > > From: John Gomes > Subject: Re: Goanet Digest, Vol 5, Issue 795 (Nudism..Dr Kamat) > To: goanet@lists.goanet.org > Date: Friday, 30 July, 2010, 1:30 PM > > Reference XCHR incidence? > > --- On Thu, 29/7/10, goanet-requ...@lists.goanet.org > goanet-requ...@lists.goanet.org > ? > Dangerous trends with most minority community people?keeping quiet, being > scared?with goonda tactics of self proclaimed religious groups enforcing > their writ.

The difference is, however, that the average RG doesn't believe he's an expert in everything, and doesn't let out gas in cyberspace at the slightest excuse!

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 with the dialog on Goanet.

- Original Message - From: "SHRIKANT BARVE" To: "goanet" ; Cc: ; Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 10:18 AM Subject: Talibanisation of Colva 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? -Soter D'Souza Hat's off to you Soter.

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"... Regards. Fr.Ivo

Re: [Goanet] Fw: Re: Portuguese memoirs ...
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, Roland. Toronto.

Hi Nick, Thats a valid question. Goans have one last chance to do something at the 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 !

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

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 !

Definitely, he is known to be not corrupt and has some great qualities (super brains), but that is not just enough in politics.
