A "rebel against tradition -- a lovable rascal and rogue -- with a refreshing sense of humour -- someone who cocked a snook at authority, be it colonial or Indian -- who treated "low caste" people with the same regard as the bhatcars in his native village." Sounds to me like this could be a pitch to a publisher for a biography of a Goan (with a slight Bombay touch) typical of the 1960s and '70s. It could also be a writer's jotting for a flamboyant character in a novel set amidst the retreat of the Portuguese and the arrival of other Indians into an innocent, happy-go-lucky, tropical paradise. I would lean towards a biography first, and think one could perhaps be knocked off in a few months by (hint) a friend with as facile a pen as has been seen over the years in the pages here. I, of course, would selfishly consider the meat and bones of the bio for a protagonist rendered even more larger than life in a work of fiction. There is, of course, a third option. A bunch of Alfred's pals and auld acquaintance dispersed over the planet keep their tipple of choice at hand as they type or dictate reminiscences and anecdotes for an informal festschrift. (On second thought, the tipple may come only after the day's labour is done, like in the tavernas of yore). This should give him something to chuckle about as he regales good friend Lucifer with roasts of all the church-going Goans ("Pad Vigar, tum inga?!") streaming in through the fiery gates. And Lucifer wondering how a place so tiny can throw up such a bountiful harvest of rebels against Authority, who head straight for the bar no sooner they cross (!) the threshold. Little does he know that they prefer his place to the other one because, as the hymn in the pub goes, "In heaven there's no beer..." ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2021 04:40:34 +0530 From: Frederick Noronha <fredericknoron...@gmail.com> To: "Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994!" <goanet@lists.goanet.org>, Francis Rodrigues <fcarodrig...@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [Goanet] [Goanet-News] Goan, Goes, Goanese?

Why, I can't tell. But the word Goanese is regarded by some as a term of opprobrium!

He lived for more than a century and saw the destruction of Goa after 1961. The so called freedom fighters were the protagonist's of the death knell of Goa.? These is a paragraph written (NT) by one D. Almeida when interviewing Xri. Mascarenhas in 2012.?"It is with a sense of nostalgia and pride that he looks back on the days gone by. He returned to Goa at a time when a man was measured by his bearing and demeanour and it was honourable to fight the good fight. Talk about today and he gets bitter with the way things have turned out. He expressed his anger in one sentence, "Write that Lambert Mascarenhas has said that he preferred the Goa of the Portuguese days." BCSorrowing lies my Land.----------------------A Great Goan has left us, but his legacy lives on. I still remember when he and Jolly visited us at our Sutton homestead and again when I was? entertained by the couple at their Dona Paula mansion many years ago during my trip to Goa. ? He will be remembered not just as a Freedom Fighter, journalist, author and Founder Editor of the prestigious GOA TODAY magazine, but as a great son of Goa. ? I hope the country and Goans the world over will do this great Goan proud. ? My deepest sympathy to Jolly and all the family - please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

The Govt has lost regular revenues and the debt burden has increased manifold .The price rise is adding to the woes of the citizens In recent times seamen want retrospective payment of pensions,tiatrist and musicians are on agitating path. Some hyprocrates are shouting from roof tops asking Govt to concede. Such politicians will not dip into their own pockets and are never known to be generous per se.. The buck should begin with you and not stop at your doorstep.The right person to air such grievances of the group is perhaps Mr Alemao,who has all along promoted and sponsored tiatr, Kon CD and his generosity is boundless While clamouring to show concern, it is the People who bear the tax burdens of mindless social security schemes Politicians want to take advantage for votes by being seen as the guardian angels. Many of so called facilities tax free emoluments, free electricity,water, postage, telephone, attendants, pensions,refreshments paid on National days at residences ,medical travel reimbursements ,subdised loans on cars etc are personal gains of politicians for whom politics is an employment avenue The point of discussion and under question is which professions ,or self employed trades should be left out of the preview of govt doles.

Baba Ampte and his family worked all his life to ameliorate their lives. The stigma was so strong, they were abandoned to die in the wilderness, had to wear special clothes ,walk on designated paths and shout ringing the bells about their scourge as warning to others Christ touched them and cured Now are we seeing of repeat of this phenomenon with those afflicted with covid,recovered ,doctors nurses reverentially labelled as the angels People are loath to accept death due to covid or even openly admit death as consequence. While in leprosy progression was slow with deformation of parts of body and known to be contagious COVID19 is both contagious and infectious a due to mutating virus and hence people out of fear avoid such patients. Covid infected people recover and it is neither a punishment or curse.Even visits to covid infected persons and attendance at funeral rites, condolence visits are very restricted by so called SOP.Every death is suspiciously looked upon as covid case and is uttered in hush tones While precautions are natural and normal stigmatising them is most unwarranted.Similarly stigma is attached to hijaras, unfortunately the greatest numbers are in India .All such persons need to be treated with respect, dignity and as humans Nelson Lopes Chinchinim ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2021 21:06:34 +0530 From: CCR TV <ccrtvstu...@gmail.com> To: goanet@lists.goanet.org Subject: [Goanet] Schedule for Tuesday 29th June 2021 Message-ID: <CA+1QXA6A7Kaovd=ufd5c2brybbtitpfm2owqb7jx2p_yybx...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" CCR TV GOA Channel of God's love?
