[Goanet] BSNL services

While BSNL, the GoI-run service provider does has some shortcomings, it has been improving in its services of late. Also, it seems less likely to overcharge (unlike the private) ISPs.

Re: [Goanet] A Goan votes for Barack Obama (Photos)

The great Goan dilemma: How do conservatives in Goa vote progressive in the US? How do progressives in Goa get conservative when they join the diaspora? FN PS: Interesting to see Dr Barad sing praises to the many values of a Barak Obama. Or is it just the urge to get onto the winning bandwaggon? 2

[Goanet] Broadband, DSL in Goa?

Often, I swear by the "knowledge of the mob". That is, asking everyone for an answer. It really works when you don't know the answer yourself, or aren't quite sure. Take the case below... A friend, a pioneer of the Net in Goa now overseas, popped this question to me: "Does anyone provide DSL serv

[Goanet] How are you?

Eddie D'Sa of Wimbledon asked me a query on how "Hello. How are you?" would be rendered into Konkani. Any versions for this? Are there alternatives in the Konkani style of greeting one another on first encounter in the day? Looking forward to your views... FN -- FN * Independent Journalist http://

[Goanet] Five dangerous things you should let your kids do

When we were kids, growing up in the Goa of the 1960s and 1970s, we played with 'firestones', the sparking flints that went into cigarette lighters, and all had our own pocket-knives (don't recall using them for anything violent). What do you think of the following: Talks Gever Tulley: 5 dangerous

Re: [Goanet] Printing in Goa

Hi Augusto, What you say is probably a shared experience with many of us. This is the experience with the way government offices work in Goa. It is essential, in my view, to get some of these old documents scanned and shared online. Cyberspace is less prone to lethargy! FN 2008/11/3 augusto pinto
