[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] BREAKING NEWS: Mild tremors felt in Goa on Monday afternoon, following an earthquake in Koyna. The earthquake was felt in Mumbai (Bombay) too, from where anxious relatives phoned to check what was happening... QUO VADIS ANJUNA BEACH? 200-metre stretch of beach is a graveyard. An almost 200-metre stretch of the beach has been literally turned into a graveyard, with the sand nowhere to be seen and the exposed ghastly rocky strata straring at you in the face. The sight is frightening, especially for those Anjunkars who have grown up in the embrace of the Prais de Sant Antonio (St Anthony's beach). Foreign tourists who have been staying in the area, and who would frolic on the sands while getting sun-tanned, are dumb-struck. (Alister Miranda in the Gomantak Times) o Moderate turnout at zilla panchayat elections. Over 50% in North Goa and 49% in South Goa. Enthusiasm goes amiss. (H) ZP polls fail to enthuse voters. (NT) o Eight voters in Naibhag, Dhargal (Pernem) were sent back as their names did not figure in the electoral rolls. Saba Nakul Kerkar (69) had been struck off the rolls, and the reason given was that he had already expired. (H) o Paraglider crash kills one in Anjuna. Gerhard Stummer, 47, was operating his para-glider in South Anjuna when he suddenly lost control and slammed into the Dando hillock on Friday evening. (GT) NO ROSY PICTURE THIS; GOA'S IN A FINANCIAL MESS: Goa is slowly getting into a debt trap due to the huge amount of borrowings. And the situation is worsening with the government have to resort to paying debts through loans.

I have tried all of the recipes sent in so far and they are all great. I never cooked before but the love for Goan food has persuaded me to try my hand at cooking. I would like to request readers to send in their personal recipes ( I found that the proportions mentioned are most important to get authentic taste). _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ SALT OF THE EARTH: An inspiring story from Goa _/ --------------------------------------------------- _/ HEALING PRIEST TURNS 90: Brother Peter Ratos _/ Courtesy: Gomantak Times, Panjim _/ _/ GT NEWS SERVICE _/ PANAJI: Brother Peter Ratos completed 90 years on _/ March 14, 1998. Priests, brothers, aspirants, and _/ umpteen friends and well-wishers celebrated the _/ day joyfully at the Capuchin Minor Seminary at _/ Navelim. _/ _/ At least eight of the nine decades in the nonagenarian _/ Banaulikar's life have been extremely eventful. At the _/ age of around ten, when he lost his father, little _/ Peter began to dispense herbal medicines to _/ hundreds of people heading for his house for all sorts _/ of ailments. _/ _/ Though Br Peter has been highly effective in curing _/ kidney stones and gall bladder stones, he has also _/ treated many infertility cases and given relief to _/ patients of asthma, bronchitis, skin diseases, _/ diabetes and paralysis. _/ _/ Out of the 1300 snake-bite cases treated by him, _/ just one person died. Patients arrive at the Fr Pio _/ Service Centre on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, _/ from as far as Switzerland, Japan and Portugal and _/ take sufficient stock of medicines on their return. _/ Br Peter is careful not to disclose the names of _/ celebrities -- governors, bishops, etc -- who seek his _/ advice and medicines. _/ _/ Br Peter is not only in herbal medicien but practices _/ Ayurveda, Unani, Homeopathy, magnets and even allopathy. _/ He has studied Homeopathy as well as Ayurveda _/ thoroughly. "I have trained three persons so far, and _/ one of them, a priest Fr Charles Saldanhas, has opened _/ a hospital in Bangalore." _/ _/ "I am a heart patient. I had three operations, had three _/ severe heart attacks. Doctors are surprised how I still _/ survive. But I never treat myself and had to submit to _/ allopathic treatment," he adds in an almost inaudible _/ voice. When he was fit, he had travelled far and wide _/ in India in search of medical knowledge and rare herbs. _/ He used to grow all the rare herbs, which went into his _/ curative powders and pills. _/ _/ But he is too old for strenuous work now and can't walk _/ freely because of varicose veins. So he has 14 workers _/ helping to collect the herbs, dry them and prepare _/ powders and pills.
