[saligaonet] SI's AGM

2004-06-06 Thread Frederick Noronha (FN) 
Saligao Institute has circulated its notice for its annual general 
assembly meeting at the Institute premises on June 27 (Sunday) at 10 am. 

Agenda will include * reading and confirming last minutes * matters 
arising * president's annual report for 2003/04 * income and expenditure 
statement and balance sheet for past year, with auditor's report * 
electing a new managing committee * electing an auditor * to consider and 
pass, if thought fit, amendments to the constitution as amended on the 
board * any other business with the permission of the chair, says a notice 
from general secretary Nelson Lobo.

There's a reminder to members asking them to keep a close watch on 
matters exhibited on the Institute notice board from now, especially items 
4 and 5 of the agenda above. Defaulting members who have not paid their 
fees for the past three months prior to June will not be eligible to vote.

PS: I do feel the Institute should try to re-activate and energise itself, 
like Albert said it. Re the curfew time in the 'seventies, it used to be 7 
pm, when caretaker Rocky used to firmly wag his finger and send us 
youngsters home!

[saligaonet] Game on Koinddo Bal Tikttem

2004-06-06 Thread Nascimen 




 
KOINDDO BAL  TIKTTEM.
 
.

“For this game, two or more 
players make a team. A small slit is made on the ground. On that the ‘ bal’ is 
kept. The player places the stick on to slit in the ground and asks' kollie?'( 
follie? )When the opponent replies” Kollie’( or “follie”), the ‘bal’ is shot 
out. If it is caught by the opponent the player is out, if not the player plays 
by striking the ‘bal’ with the ‘ koinddo’(stick). He has to play three times, 
and at least strike the ‘ bal’ once 
, if not he is out. Points are counted depending on how many times the ‘bal’ is 
hit with the ‘koinddo’
If the ‘bal’is hit once, one 
‘koinddo’ makes one point, if twice one ‘bal’ and if thrice, than half ‘bal’. 
The counting of points start from the spot where the ‘bal’ is up to the slit. 
The player can also be out of the game while playing, if the ‘bal’ is caught in 
the air by the opponent. In this case he is given an option. He can come hopping 
with the ‘bal’ in his hand up to the slit. If he successfully reaches the slit 
he can continue playing. The winner is the one who gets the highest number of 
points. In some areas of Goa this game is known as “ GOINDO BAL”
“SONN’NAMNIM” One fourth of coconut shell is cut and the husk is removed to make a” 
sonn” and ‘koinddo’( one foot moderate bamboo or thick stick) is required. This 
is a game for girls and is a variant of ‘Koinddo Bal’. The procedure of the game 
is the same as in ‘ koinddo bal’.

TIKTTEM.

This is two player game. Each 
player has black and yellow pawns. Alternately shells and stones can also be 
used. A square is divided into two smaller squares. Each player alternately 
places the shell/stone on the line by placing his shell/stone in between. 
However, he also tries to make his own ‘tikttem’. The second player makes it 
difficult to complete the line by placing his shell/stone in between. However, 
he also tries to make his tikttem’. When a player completes a tikttem’ he can 
take the shell/ stone of the other player. The game is over when three 
‘tikttins' are made.
