if that is so how come, one of them planned to
be a memeber of a rival gulf goans list and
use material from the actual gulf goans mailing
list while the other member of the admin team promoted
it. But if they ask them they will
have their own justified excuses.

What they feel is right should and forcefully
be right for everyone. They enjoy and abuse the
freedom on other Goan mailing list but when it
comes to their own mothership they are so
protective they even go as far as promoting
goanet on other mailing list.

how can I believe that after what they did to me ?
No one will believe it, until it happens to you.

If your right Cip I do want to see the entire
advertising accounts published here on GoaNet.
and if they don't Cip I hope you will change
your views about them. Its nice to listen to
a one sided story, its not good to judge people
from a one sided story.

Uly

CYRIL D'CUNHA
TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ SUNDAY, JUNE 09, 2002 11:12:47 PM ]
PANAJI: Call it wrong timing or just plain bad luck. Isidore Fernandes,
after he won the Poinguinim seat in the 1999 elections as an Independent,
had to be content with just a chairmanship of a corporation. On the other
hand, another Independent candidate __ Felipe Neri Rodrigues, backed by the
BJP, not only retained his Velim seat this time, but also his ministerial
berth.
Isidore must have fancied his chances of cornering a ministerial chair as he
won on a Congress ticket this time. Unfortunately for him, all went awry as
he ultimately found himself on the other side of the fence when his party
was pipped to the `gaddi' by the BJP. Backing the wrong horse is not always
the prerogative of the race-goer, as Ramakant Khalap, Suresh Parulekar and a
few others found out. For many, though, Lady Luck catapulted them from being
ordinary citizens to the corridors of power.
RAIN WOES
When it rains, roads in Goa turn into rivers. At the receiving end of public
ire, the Panjim municipality pulled its act together this year. It desilted
the drains and built new ones along the sidewalks to prevent the watery
nightmare. It all looked good after the work was done and people hoped that
those perennially flooding roads would be a thing of the past.
It took just the pre-monsoon showers to prove otherwise and the municipality
was left high and dry.
Not only was there knee-deep water, but in many cases, the flood waters
claimed hitherto dry zones. Nature, after all, is one great leveller. Now,
motorists and pedestrians dread the fact that once the monsoon strikes in
full fury, they will have to relive the wet, wet conditions.
But the Panjim municipality is not willing to dishearten its people. So what
if the Rain God does not fall under its jurisdiction, it still has the power
to control the power situation. It has taken up trimming of trees in full
earnest. This leads one to hope there will be fewer power breakdowns due to
branches snapping power lines. It should also provide a sense of safety to
the citizens as uprooting of big trees last season not only caused damage to
vehicles but also resulted in avoidable deaths.
LESSON TO PARENTS
It is admission time again for schools and a nightmare has begun for the
parents, trying to get their children into kindergarten. There is one case
of a child who was given admission to kindergarten class at Nirmala
Institute, Altinho, Panaji, last year. However, the parent had to pull out
the child even before classes started after having paid Rs 4,000 as fees,
for personal reasons. But not before the mother was given a verbal assurance
by the principal that the fees would be carried forward for this year.
Imagine the parent's shock when told that not only was there no seat
available, there would be no refund of the fees as well. Stranded, the
parent bitterly and tearfully complained that this was not fair on the part
of the school authorities for letting her down at the last moment. At least
they could have informed her in advance, so she could make alternative
arrangements to get her child admitted in another school, she rued.
She could not shake off the feeling that her child's seat was given to
someone else. A double whammy for the poor parent. Not only has her
hard-earned money gone, so has her child's year. Payment of a heavy
capitation fee seems to be the toast of Goans schools now.
FOOT-IN-MOUTH DISEASE
The other day, Goa's newly inducted Tourism Minister Micky Pacheco and his
colleagues from the United Goans Democratic Party called a press conference
to clear their party's stand on supporting the BJP government.
At the celebratory meet, Micky spoke like a saviour of the Goan tourism
industry.
But it looks like he has put his foot in his mouth even before take off. His
first utterance that he would take action against the River Princess vessel
grounded on Goan shores since the last three years is causing heartburn in
government circles, as the government stand is that action would be taken to
salvage the ship.
Caught on a sticky wicket, Micky promptly did the expected. He simply put
out a statement that he was misquoted by the media.

Subject: [Goanet] NEWS: Gujarat has mixed feelings about war
Gujarat has mixed feelings about war
By Sukrat Desai, Indo-Asian News Service
Ahmedabad, June 10 (IANS) For nearly three months, Gujarat endured sectarian
violence that numbed India for its scale and brutality. But some people here
are still all for a war between India and Pakistan.
But not everyone agrees because they fear it will only cause more deaths and
destruction.
Dilip Trivedi, state general secretary of the rightwing Vishwa Hindu
Parishad (VHP), prefers a military showdown with Pakistan, heedless of the
possibility of a nuclear holocaust and the devastating effect on the
economy.
"It's time we stopped the drama of friendship and fought it out," Trivedi
told IANS, wielding Hindu mythology as a weapon.
"We Hindus are not frightened of death. According to our theory of
reincarnation, a Hindu never dies. His soul is simply transferred from one
body to another."
Kaushik Mehta, the VHP's spokesman in the state, is also not averse to war.
"India should have waged war against Pakistan on December 13 when
Pakistan-sponsored terrorists attacked the Indian Parliament," he said. The
reference was to a terror strike that left nine people dead in the Indian
capital before security forcers shot dead all five gunmen who New Delhi said
were Pakistanis.
Rightwing groups such as the VHP and Bajrang Dal allied to Prime Minister
Atal Bihari Vajpayee's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have been blamed for the
sectarian violence that plunged Gujarat into madness starting on February
27.
The violence has left around 950 people dead. Most victims have been
Muslims. Tens of thousands of Muslims also lost their homes and took shelter
in hurriedly set up relief camps all over the state.
The VHP's comments came even as tensions were slowly beginning to abate
between India and Pakistan, which have deployed a million troops along their
long border sparking fears of a war between them.
But the VHP's founder member in Gujarat, K.K. Shastri, strongly opposed war.
"As an individual, I strongly stand against war," he said.
"The people of Gujarat have not realised the grave dangers of war. Both
India and Pakistan have nuclear warheads. It would not be like the Cold War
between the United States and the former Soviet Union.
"While these two former enemies are geographically distant, India and
Pakistan share a border. If war erupts, it is bound to cause widespread
destruction."
More people echoed the anti-war sentiment.
Girish Patel, a lawyer and chairman of Lok Adhikar Sangh, a human rights
organization, reiterated that war would mean death and destruction in both
the countries.
Patel accused the BJP of whipping up war hysteria to deflect people's
attention from its "all-round failure" and the sectarian violence in the
state.
"The BJP has a multi-pronged agenda to create a Hindu nation. The war
hysteria is part of it," Patel said.
Inamul Iraki, one of the organisers of a relief camp for Muslim victims at
Dariakhan Ghummat, wondered if the state was equipped to face a war.
"Gujaratis have not experienced the terror of war," he said. "A single bomb
explosion can send chills down their spine."
