[Goanet] Be Careful of Agents propogating the Hidden Agenda on GOANET
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Two new showrooms/office spaces, double height (135 sq m each with bath) for lease in upscale Campal/Miramar beach area, Panaji, Goa. Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com Be Careful of Agents propogating the Hidden Agenda on GOANET I have been off Goanet for a while now. I feel the frontbenchers out there have literally created a holiganised approach and shout down any good point being raised, and so also good writers – God help the voice if it tries to expose hidden agendas of several vested interests that have infiltrated into the system and are trying to divide Goa. However, Goanet has had the privilege of having some real sensible writers…who make a point unbiased. But as is the case mostly, there are several empty vessels who try to label them as the biggest fools and bigots, thereby exposing the hollowness of their own minds. One such source (who is a master of fake ids and all fake propaganda, and is a champion of ‘crying wolf’) even links ids of people and labels the original as fake writers only to try and run them down in unprintable language – which largely shows the integrity of such a source, his background and his core group which he is associated with. In the recent past eminent personalities like Dr Oscar Rebello, Selma Carvalho, Fredrick Noronha, Alfred Tavares… and the list is endless… have been targeted and maligned. The Goans in Goa and in the diaspora are well aware of who is behind such fanaticism. Then there is a group who retorts to writing derogatory mails and clandestinely picks up ids from Goanet and mails them such thrash. There have also been attempts to push viruses in my mailbox through various fake ids, dummy writers claiming to be from Goa trying to coax me to write against the establishment and also various so called intellectuals trying to guide one to promote the hidden agenda. On closer scrutiny, it was established that such persons never existed, raising a big doubt about the man cowardly hiding behind the mask. Recently, several friends of mine forwarded me mails form one source that appeared on Goanet. And I was neither shocked nor surprised; in fact I was happy – very early in life I had learnt that one can’t expect mangoes from a coconut tree. Those who lie down with the dogs, wake up with fleas on them. Before making such prejudiced judgments, I wish the empty source should have the guts to write to the people how he has offered himself (for a price or free of cost) to be used to push the hidden agenda, how he has tried to pour trash in people’s ids (including mine), how he has been exposed by me all through and that has provoked his ageing anger and I had the gall to byline all those posts. I have been open in my writings – from a leader of opposition to the chief minister – I as a journalist and a brave Goan son of the soil, has had what it takes to write my name against any mail, in praise of or critical of the system. So any creature belonging to the human fraternity would use a little of his or her brains (if it has any) and know the answer to the recent accusation. But I understand the pangs of being exposed and bravely countered can be fatal on any such creatures. It can burn them! This is not a clarification, I don’t owe any to anyone, but trying to let all my friends on Goanet and in Goa, UAE and the world over that such attempts to malign someone who have been doing his bit for Goa do not effect me, nonetheless they make people like me more bold and brave to encounter these Johny-come-latelies. Thanks to all fellow Goans who wrote back to me. I am glad I have such good friends in you all. Dev Borem Korum, Cedric Da Costa

[Goanet] Major Hill cutting at Aquem-Margao
Major Hill cutting at Aquem-Margao There has been a major hill cutting opposite vishant theatre at aquem margao. The entire drain has been blocked and the roads are full of mud due to the constant transportaion of mud in the trucks which are not even covered. There have been constant traffice blocks due to the movement of trucks in the area. However, no authority in power seems to have noticed this. It is a shame that this is hapening in our own CM's constituency...but we are aware that if informed our CM will always says...it has not been brought to my notice...like he said on television recently after being told about congress MLAs working against official candidates in the recent Lok sabha elections.

[Goanet] Mathany -- Walking the communial tight rope?
Mathany -- Walking the communial tight rope? I was shocked to read in the papers the recent spate of attacks on religious places...what happened at the temples in Cuncolim is really shocking and it exposes how vulnerable the various places of worship irrespective of caste and creed are to such cowardly acts. Strange is the silence of Goa's CM, who is enjoying a good holiday in USA out of the good money he might have made. On Good friday a cross was vandalised at Malbhat(a BJP stronghold), Margao, close to the CMs Margao residence, when the cross committee visited the CM, they wre told not to make a big issue of it, and were promised help to rebuild the cross, according to those who were part of the delegation. A few weeks ago another cross was vandalised close to Meenaxhi Hotel in the heart of Margao City. Again, no culprits were brought to book by the ever vigiliant Margao cops. No politician however big or small even offered to comment on the above. Today, I see a big write up in the Herald, about guess who? Mathany Saldanha against desecreations of religious places... It is a good stand no doubt but if we go by the recent records wherein the UGDP, Mathany's party openly opposed the issues of burial grounds for Muslims in Goa. Mathany never deems fit to raise his voice against cross descrations...also! So definately is Mathany walking a communial tight rope? I leave it to the public of Goa to judge such elements...

[Goanet] Contributions of Valmiki
Contributions of Valmiki We have been noticing some recent discussions from certain vested interests on Goanet, trying to raise the issue of contributions to GOA! I initially choose to ignore the same as there is no point in adding my hand to the already boiling khichdi that is being cooked -- Goanetters know the authencity and the malicious overtures of the persons who have raised these questions. At times it’s better to ignore jokers, at times it makes sense to give them a laugh -- because they at least try to make you laugh! I do not know the contribution of Digamber Kamat to Margao...forget Goa! All I know is that he is a hard core politician, who can dump the Congress for the BJP, then dump the BJP for the Congress and who knows what next...from the time he was a mere councillor from my ward to this day, Digamber Kamat's contributions to society outweigh his many hidden or exposed sins against his own people, specially the minorities at Margao. But I will leave it to the electorate to judge that. And as Valmiki says -- there are no saints anymore! I believe charity begins at home -- and a person who cannot cleanse Margao CANNOT take care of Goa! What Margao is today (a big garbage hole) is a fruit of labour of Digamber Kamat's many years as Margao MLA...The Margao of today is a criminal heaven, littered with garbage, stray dogs, prostitutes, bad electricity, water shortages and unplanned growth of the city...How many more years will the migrants of Monti Dongor bail out Digamber at the hustings is to be seen in time. Avduth Timblo although in the prosperous yet polluting mining business has I guess contributed to Goa to some extent. Knowing the Timblos from close quarters and being my good neighbours at Aquem...everybody knows! Valmiki Faleiro! I seriosuly feel that Valmiki's contribution to Margao and Goa outweighs many a chief ministers who have let the commercial city go to the dogs... In those formative school years in the 80s, every school going boy and girl from Margao knew who Valmiki Faleiro was...the hard working Mayor who looked after the city well. Its unfortunate that after the likes of Valmiki, not many have added much colour to the honourable chair of the first citizen of Margao. The generations of the 80s will know how Valmiki then the most efficient Mayor of the Margao Municipality had worked hard to ensure that the Municipality functioned and the workers were not on a permanent paid holiday but worked hard to ensure a civic sense to the city. Unlike today, the stray dog menace was under control -- there were not much open gutters -- garbage heaps were not a common sight and there was a general feeling that the city had a hard working and caring God father in the Mayor. Of late Valmiki -- being the efficient journalist who has walked the talk as far as Goan politics and public service is concerned is more active with his Sunday coloumn on the Herald, still doing yomen service to the public, not just of Margao but of the entire Goa. Those who understand his writings the satire and nostalgia he loads his coloumns with will know how many ministers and public servants he has been exposing -- I know. Is'nt that a service to the public. We all shout hoarse against corruption, how many of us have the guts to pick up the pen and write? Yet, this man refused to fall to the lure of being offered a ticket by some top political parties. A hard core fan of one of Goa's top parties and quite active on Goanet some time ago had personally phoned me on several occassions from London to hunt for a good leader from Margao to take on the excisting establishment. Just one name came for discussion -- Valmiki Faleiro! I would'nt say more! I guess there are people around who crib and cry for mere foolish reasons. There are also people around who tend to scratch the leg when the arm scratches. It is said the pig cries when taken for rearing as well as for slaughter! Today, chamchas of politicians see from just one angel -- the aam aadmi is fooled to believe that doing public service is to hold a ministry in a corrupt government! Being a corrupt political leader is not being a public servant, but a servant of his own family to ensure enough riches are looted and plundered to secure a good future for his own generations...are there any good politicians around who work for the people today? Show me one! Such clowns are best ignored and left to do what they do best – jugglery! I wish brave and intellectual individuals like Valmiki Faleiro continue to do what they are doing. Those who understand their works -- good for them, those who dont -- tough luck! I guess all of this has been triggered since last sunday's coloumn wherein Valmiki dared to pinpoint a dummy candidate being put up at the south Goa parlimentary elections. I would not only suggest he is a dummy candidate, but a surrogate one, aided by the two

[Goanet] Restoring Margao's Lost Glory
An edited version of my mail below was published by THE NAVHIND TIMES (Goa) edition dt. March 20, 2009, found at: http://www.navhindtimes.com/story.php?story=2009032039 Restoring Margao's Lost Glory. I do remember the days when parents would take us kids to the Margao Municipal garden to play on sunday evenings. Those were the days of glory at Margao. The garden park used to be well kept, clean to an extent and there were a lot of slides and swings and also remember catching my first glimpse of a live crocodile out there... Then, there were real hard working Mayors at Margao like Vasudev Sarmalkar, Gajanan Gaundalkar and later Valmiki Faleiro. Somewhere in the early eighties...Valmiki was the mayor. As in the NAVHIND TIMES report dated 13th, March, 2009, people still remember the way he strove above all politics, culture and religious divides to give Margao good civic governance. Co-incidently, Valmiki headed the council whilst today's top politicians like Digamber Kamat, Babu Azgaonkar and Mama Cardozo were as Councillors taking their first steps in the political arena. And although Goa lost a promising politician in Valmiki the moment he quit active politics after his stint as the Margao Mayor, it is very heartening to read Valmiki's articles and columns in the local dailies specially the Herald Mirror every sunday (also read on GOANET), where he takes us on a nostalgic trip of Goa's politics, history and culture. Even ages after that, today, it was heartening to read in the dailies about the acknowledgement of such worthy sons of Margao. Will Margao have mayors like Vasudev Sarmalkar and Valmiki Faleiro, when the post of the mayor has been reduced to a mere object in the game of musical chairs? I wish the new mayor, Mr Savio Coutinho who has inherited all the mess will show some promise in cleaning it up and soon the people of Margao, specially the children will have a clean and healthy environment to play on sunday evenings at the municipal garden.

Today, Porriker is portraying a picture of a man lost at sea and has no agendas whatsoever and is trying to woo the minorities by playing issues like kabrastan issues. It is sad while the BJP in Karnataka is opposing charlie champlin's statue because he was catholic, the BJP in Goa is trying to reach out to the catholics, specially in south Goa to seek votes, that through a blood stained person like Narendra Modi... Wah! It looks like the electorate of Goa is so dumb and illeterate that they not see the link between all that is happening.

[Goanet] Did Narendra Modi Play Communial Card At Margao?
As appeared in the Goa Observer...feb 28, 2009 edition: Did Narendra Modi Play Communial Card At Margao? Did the BJP play a communial card last sunday 15/2/2009 at Aquem, Margao where the much hyped public rally of BJP's fanatic Narendra Modi? The rally was held at Costa grounds at 10.00am on the same day when the newly constructed parish church of Aquem-Alto, dedicated to St Sabestian was to be inuagrated by the Archbishop, Fr Philip Neri Ferrao at the same time. The inuagration of the church was attended by cross sections of society and people of all faiths including a large number of hindus and muslims along with their catholic brethren. While at the same time barely 200mts from the church inuagration Narendra Modi and his BJP cohots like Manohar Poriker were propogating the communial agenda of the BJP. The church inuagration mass was attended by CM Digamber Kamat and South Goa MP, Francisco Sardinha, although many in the congregation questioned the undistinguisehd presence of Sardinha, who comes to Aquem on two occassions -- 1. to adress his election meetings, ad 2, to show his face to the people of Aquem before the eve of any election to the Parliament. And while Digamber Kamat was attending the holy mass solemnised by the Archibishop, Porriker was spittling venom on the current Goa cm from the BJP pandal. Also, the councillor from Aquem, Kamilini Poinguinkar choose to be on the dias of Narendra Modi than attend the inuagration of the church, where most of her voters were present in huge numbers. Speaks volumes of communial flavour of the BJP. Most of the people of Aquem and Margao at large have seen through this as a play of the communial card by the BJP. It is sad that a person of Narendra Modi's reputation is even allowed to enter the state of Goa and address the secular and peace loving people of Goa. I forsee the BJP south parlimentary election candidate losing his deposit, even if the Congress this time field a rookie. A BJP loss is a forgone conclusion as teh Goan electorate are quite smart to reject and trash any communial agenda. Cedric Da Costa UAE

[Goanet] Parriker exposes his dirty spots yet again …
Parriker exposes his dirty spots yet again… Goa’s most disgraceful LOO, the self-styled RSS-bakt, and Goa’s most communal former Chief Minister -- Manohar Parriker yet again gave Goans a glimpse of his dirty spots last week. It is a shame that Panjim constituency has an MLA and Goa, has an opposition leader of such a despicable caliber. Parriker displays from time to time, mostly by his double-speak -- a total bankruptcy of morals, ethics and values and is not hesitant to take the already soiled political image of Goa, further down the roads and onto the gutter levels. As, Goa was rocked by violent attacks on places of worship, an alleged rape by a son of a minister on a foreign national and the attack on two social activists (?), Manohar Parriker seized this as the best opportunity to get back to his one-time political deputy and partner-in-communal crimes -- the current Goa CM. The frustrated rantings by Parriker (long out of power despite, two dubicious back door attempts to dislodge a democratically elected government by the Goan electorate) in the media, exposed that Parriker would go to any levels to get mileage or cheap publicity by all means to salvage the slumped image of his communal party and himself. Despite sharing the bed, pillow and blanket in cosy weathers with Babush and ditching him when it suited him, Parriker, exposed to the electorate of Panjim constituency that he still needs the support of Babush to ensure he saves his deposit at the next assembly elections in Panjim. Parriker, instead of commenting on the accused, not only directed his tirade against the CM, but refused to raise an accusing finger on the present education minister, who we all know aided to ensure a smooth walk through for Parriker at the last hustings. Today, Parriker is pretending that he is feeling the pinch of the detoriating law and order situation in Goa, when he should remember that while he was the CM – Goa witnessed the worst types of communal violence since its liberation. Public memory is short; it is often said, but not as short to remember the infamous acts like forging a signature of an MLA(Philip Neri) to claim his support to cling to power illegally of a communal government that was prematurely kicked out of power, and deserted by its own MLA’s headed by the revolt of Digamber Kamat. Secondly, in the turbulent week that went by, Parriker, as is his famous habbit, tried to ruffle muddy waters in Margao Constituency. Despite having a long honeymoon with Digamber Kamat, while he was his man Friday in the communial BJP and knowing all along the dynamics of politics that goes on at Monti Dongor, Parriker played saviour along with Digamber to its residents – all in the greater glory of the BJP and its communial agenda. In the recent past Parriker cheered at Digamber’s every victory in Margao – mainly due to the support of the meticulously cultivated vote bank at Monti dongor under the saffron umbrella – those days are not far gone behind! Moreover, now since the residents of Margao’s infamous slum refuse to acknowledge the communial teachings of the likes of Parriker, suddenly the colony has become a heaven of criminals as per Parriker. Knowing well the ground realities of Margao’s detoriarating living conditions, Parriker had the cheek to comment on the Monti Dongor slums who until recently were an out-an-out BJP vote bank, nutured ably by Digamber Kamat through the high blessings of Parriker whilst he was the CM – a fact even a minor child of Margao will not deny and never forget. To Digamber Kamat’s credit goes the fact that the residents of Monti Dongor, whom he has godfathered like his own godchildren -- will vote for Digamber even if he changes his election symbol to hand from the infamous saffron coloured lotus, a fact politicians like Parriker hate to digest. There is not much difference between the CM and the LOO. Not at least in Margao. Both have played dirty politics and the result ensured that Margao constituency and its constituents suffered terribly. In short – Parriker should shut his dirty trap before making any comments on Margao! Parriker should make sure he directs all his energies on his Panjim constituency and ensures that his constituents are happy with him out there and leave Margao alone, unless if Parriker is feeling insecure of being defeated in Panjim and is considering contesting the next elections against his bête noire at Margao. Parriker has neither love for Goa nor Margao. He is hell bent on spreading the virus of his masters at the RSS, VHP, the Delhi-babus headed by the Rath Yatra - Babri Masjid demolition fame -- Advani and the Gujarat poster-monster -- Modi’s cause. He has tried hard to sow the seeds of communalism, dirty politics and hatred – which are seen through by the electorate of Margao, who ensued the defeat of the BJP and will do so at the comming elections yet again. Moreover, with
[Goanet] Goans Beware of VHP, BJP
Dear Goans, If you have been following the recent attacks on minorities, we would definately ask the question in ourselves -- are minorities safe? It is the same vested interests belonging to the VHP and the BJP -- chief patron being Lal K Advani -- the father of all communial violence in India. There are many Goans that have aligned themselves to the campaign to bring back the BJP in Goa. Many front benchers have been hired to sing hossanas of the communial facist leader of opposition Manohar Porrikar, under whose reign Goa witnessed the polarisation of voters according to religious lines and under whose reign Goa witnessed a sudden spurt of communial violence. Dear Goans...the time to think is now...with elections round the corner, secular peace loving Goans should not only think of chasing the communial elements out from Goa, but also voice their support to ban the communial frontal organisations and the BJP as a political party. What to do with their communial virus spreading non-leaders...i leave it best up to your judgement. Time and again, specially in Margao, the communial elements have exhibited trailers of how they want to turn Goa into a gujarat or Orissa Wake up dear peace loving Goans... Cedric da Costa Dubai
[Goanet] Orrissa Communial Violence
Recently one poster posted this question on Goanetviolence in orrissa...what were the cops doing? the answer to that is simple -- they were doing exactly the same when Manohar porrikar as the home minister and Goa chief minister was doing when minorities were attacked in Goa when he was the chief minister and india was under BJP rule...coincidently Advani was the union home minister... Still there are vested interests who are trying to spoil the communial harmony of Goatime Goans wake up to show the door to the leaders of the communial brigade in Goa... cedric da costa Dubai
[Goanet] Communial Tension in India...how far is Goa?
Communial Tension in India...how far is Goa? We have seen full fledged communial violence in Goa...thanks to the fuelling of communial sentiments by the brigade. Margao has on many occassion escaped being turned into a Gujarat or an Orissa. And on all the occassions the hatred and the violence was fuelled by the same elements owing allegiance to the BJP. So is Goa far from orissa and can the BJP in Goa including its leader manohar porrikar gurantee Goans that if he comes back to power (obviously through the backdoor)minorities will be safe? Goans must unite and be vigilant of the vested communial elements who are out to destroy the social fabric of the country...unfortunately such goons are present in Goa... ...and their spin doctors and paid propogandists are very much present on Goanet...

[Goanet] Introducing Rape to Don Bosco Students
Firstly, Goans go to places outside india for employment not because it is by their sweet choice...Can Goa accomodate talented people...can a middle class student afford to pay bribes to the ministers to secure jobs...So commenting on people, who have Goa at heart and are trying their best to salvage a lost cause...should not be looked upon by contempt by coloured lenses...Someone can easily say,,,the medicinal profession and journalism doesnt mix...but still we have various doctors do yomen public service...It is better to express ones thoughts with pride and bravery than be a professional and yet be a phamplet or a front bencher or still, a mosquito spreading the communial virus...I see the self mockery done by several posters, specially the front bench cheer leaders of the deadly communial virus mentality...But all said and done...Goanet will never be the same without a few laughs and clownery from these so-called-geniuses... If the mentality be so thin...I dred the patients who visit this jhad-paleaicho-hakim!Cedric da CostaDubai

And neither are you a carrier of the ‘hidden agenda’ virus…nor do you carry water, I say water not urrack to the blasters at the mines. The Chief Reporter’ and bum chum buddy has long taken retirement from Goan journalism I understand…’ but many Johnie-cum-latelies have taken up the task to ensure they hit a quick saffron jackpot, which is always in the offing. So in Goa we do not have ELLO Journalism but true-original-SAFF-R-ON journalism. Today, if you do not patronise the photus of the ‘Save Goa by Promoting the hidden agenda through photu-exhibits’ then you are a dumb fool, maybe you could even be a ghantti 9saiba bhogus amkam!) …you are the worst unprintable word in the Oxford and any other form of the dictionary and gentlemanly vocabulary may permit. Somehow, some gutterish posts slip the moderators on Goanet like Mulitharan’s doosra may deceive a Tendulkar… I am more confused than the Canada-based humorist who took a dig on me recently on Goanet…confused to jam my fingers at the calculator to actually forcest the bottom-line of the income or call it in political terms…’party funds’ or legal extortions… the already suffocating exchequer of the out of power forces…could profit by the formation of 500 NGO’s…well, imagine they pass the traditional hat to collect the ‘’khote sikéys’ after every meet… and imagine they organise charity concerts --- given the fact that some fading self-proclaimed Nightingale could lend her aging and caloried voice, free, for the cause and the mine-owners (poor poor chaps, of late harassed by the Naxa-Lights!) could pay off handsomely to seek self defence or self protection against the Sebi-es that show promise to be deadly than rabies on the mines of Goa). Poor Parashuram, must be wondering what made him shoot that unfortunate arrow…Poor Goa! Poor Geemkar! In time the Niz-Goemkar will be known as just a myth like the Rakhno…only on a Photu! First, the gharso-dollencho Dotor, then the famour boy-designer now it is definitely you Fredricko…its your turn…and of course you have much in common with the first two…Serpent Ivy or Poison Ivy is waiting to sting you with the best available venom…so watch your backside, no not from the boy, but from the mid-boys! Perhaps you are fancing to migrate from Saligao and contest the next elections at Ponji…a long walk that…and you will definitely be tired and thirsty…but be careful…the tap water at Ponji is contaminated…Beware, the camera focus has marked you now...u are a marked man!...but dont worry...this is just a hidden threat!

[Goanet] Contaminated water in Panjim Taps
Contaminated water in Panjim TapsSorry state of affairs in Panjim...the capitol city...having three dailies published from there and a weekly and being the home to Goa's mighty...Imagine getting limited water supply and the very little you get is contiminated...there is definately a health scare in Panjim constituency.Till date the saviours of Goa have still not commented on it. Why?Panjim, once most beautiful, is today competing with Margao and Vasco to the title of the most dirtiest cidades of Goa.It shows that when the leader of the constituency is busy persuing toppling agendas...the people are suffering...I wish the contiminated water samples are ably photographed and displayed on Goanet...any takers?Cedric da CostaDubai
[Goanet] Thinking about Political Violence
Dear Goans,A well annalysed article by Jason K Fernandes. True, as he states the only disgusting actions Manohar Porrikar did as leader of opposition is to stage two unsuccessful coups to overthrow a democratic elected government and throw Goa into political turmoil. Good for Goa that the MLA s responsible saw better sense and till date Goa has a government.As a leader of opposition (LOO), he has failed to come out with constructive issues, except hurl allegations and try to hide the sins of his past government. It shows that the LOO has no intentions to be a people's representative and trap the ruling government on its many failures, but busy himself with toppling bids to ensure that he grabs the seat of power of the CM once again, through dubicious means despite fittingly being routed by the electorate.Instead of being the voice of the opposition, the LOO has chosen to be the voice of the mining community and that shows the clean nexus of the LOO and the mining powers, which is detrimental the interests of Goans.in fact as Goans are slowly but surely realising the evil and selfish designs of politicians like these, it is the people themselves who have started to group themselves. If at all any group of late acted as the voice and ears of the Goans, it was organisations like GBA and nobody else.Then too, feeling the heat, several vested interests tried to sobatage the peoples movements like GBA and hurl baseless allegations against those who were trying to raise to heights in public service and leadership, specially in the Panjim Constituency. It is a shame that a leader of opposition should stoop so low to instigate the masses about baseless allegations like the recent Naxalite charge.The role of the LOO is not to be an instigator, but to be the voice of the people against the shortcomings committed by the ruling dispensations. Goans -- as they are know the world over to be a patient lot has exhibited tremendous patience thus far...about the future...time will tell...I feel that LOO has no moral right to hold the responsible post and must resign immediately.The people of Goa have time and again been patient to this double-tounged politician and his many nefarious activities to destabilise the governments.The activities resorted by the leader of opposition to cling to or grab power at any cost clearly shows that he is ready to go to any levels in the future to dislodge any government which is not headed by him. Watch out for his next gimmick!It is time the Goan masses, who are at their best in a state of mass awareness and awakening...see through the evil designs of politicians of this caliber and show them the door at the next hustings...It is time for new young fresh faces in Goan politics...Cedric da CostaUAE
[Goanet] Mining barons actual troublemakers: UGDP
Mining barons actual troublemakers: UGDP Brilliant analysis by the brilliant Radharao The Naxalite charge by Porrikar is to divert the media focus on hindu militant organisations planning attacks in various cities... So now it is obvious who is behind the BJP victory in Karnataka... The statements of Porrikar show how deeply he is in sync with Goa's main destructors -- the mining lobby... I am sure Porrikar, his front benchers and photographers are well assured a princely sum in his next back door or midnight toppling bid by this lobby Cedric da Costa UAE
[Goanet] Instigation Porrikar E-style...
Instigation Porrikar E-style... The allegations that Naxalities have infilterated into Goa is shocking...but greateful to some one who had the guts to say it loud and clear... Goans by now know well...Goa is not at danger from Naxals, but communial politicians...Nobody wants Goa to be converted into a Gujarat... Goa is in a greater danger of the communial divide and instigators with a hidden agenda. Porrikar is famous for his instigative and rumour filled politics when he is out of power. It is very unfortunate for the Goans to have such a politician as the leader of opposition at the moment... Also, it is sad that Porrikar and his photographers cannot capture the infilteration of the Russian and Israli mafias into Goa. Porrikar and his photographers and his front benchers turn a blind eye to the large scale drug peddling along the beaches of Goa. The garbage issues... Well done Porrikar, yet another inciting and provocative allegation from you... I bet your agenda is to ignite flames that could ultimately burn Goa and that will include yourself.

Afterall moderators are humans too...right! as by discussing we are giving the hidden agenda more publicity through the backdoor...actually a push further... 2008...we are still discovering various new ways of gaining cheap and free publicity...

[Goanet] Accounts and expenditures of NGOs
-Accounts and Expenditures of NGO's Lionel is doing a fab job on getting the figures of expenditures of the legislators... i am sure if you annalyse the bills...it is mostly a few of the hotels and caterers that are preferred, definately there is some cut there... Also, it would be nice to look into the bills of various NGO's in Goa and check who spends on the lavish parties thrown at 5 stars in Goa in the name of catching the RAPIST n all those revolutionary save goa organisations... the source of funds of the various save goa organisations springing overnight at every nook and corner of Goa would tell an interesting tale...and bring to light the real motives of these groups... I feel that in Goa...launching a save goa group is a big business...its like an extortion racket... groups claiming to kick off the revolution to save goa have been operating for several years but i see not an inch of Goa being saved...in fact large parts of goa are gettin submerged, and lost...in front of the very noses of the saviours... There are some vested interests also trying to polarise the communities...mob mentality is being preached...Goans are incited...unnecessarily provoked...various forms of the media are used to project an exxagerated version of Goas decline...the peace of the state is being slowly turned into a state of hatred and malice and filty words are used by filty minds to forward the hidden agenda... Goans be vary...not all have Goa at heart, but hidden personal agendas... Time will tell... Cedric da Costa UAE
[Goanet] Going soft on Narvenkar
Going soft on Narvenkar Even after being framed in a scandal involving corruption of a high degree...Narvenkar still continues to hold the finance portfolio in the current ministry. That any of the current 40 legislators from any of the parties in Goa have any ethics and are purely driven by greed of the kodel is a well dramatised fact. I feel that in a democracy, it is not only the party in power, but also the opposition is to be blamed if such corrupt people are continuing in power. We take great pride in trying to blame the chief minister and the ruling congress...but open your eyes wide...see if the leader of opposition is doing his role well... See the logic...the opposition goes up to the president to seek the removal of a governor...but goes soft on a framed minister of the ruling party... At the height of the alleged molestation case that featured the same minister...it was the guts of the then leader of opposition ramakanth khalap, ably supported by the students lobby that led a defiant narvenkar to finally budge in and resign... Today, nobody seems to go for Narvenkar? And all this assemblies and mobs claiming to save Goa? First step to save Goa is to get rid of tainted ministers...but then if that happens..there are hardly any among the current 40 that are not tainted? Cedric D Dubai

GPA v/s GLA? So once again the mass confusao creators are back at it...another front...there are definately too many cooks in Goa and they will definately spoil the soup for the Goans...so now the bitter poison that was flung on the GBA and its blue-eyed captain makes sense...run down the existing champion and through the 'backdoor' promote your own group...goans are well aware of the 'backdoor'promoters in politics...why...please...why can't these people do anything in broad day light...why are these midnight operators always insecure to open their agenda to the masses than thrive on a hidden one? Why cant the verdict of the people be accepted than infuse defections and create a legislator made govt than a voter made govt? GLA -- Goa Legislative Assembly...from my ever-so-confused understanding means the assembly of legislators...democratically (unfortunately) elected by the Goan voters...legal...democratic (i say once again)...it may have congress, bjp, independents, ncp, etc etc etc... the venue is the red-roofed assembly complex at Porvorim GPA -- Goa People's Assembly ... I understand is an off-shoot of a different colour ...formed to save an already destroyed or raveged or raped Goa...from whom? and whodunit? somehow, the same individuals ...oh sorry...saviours...oh...environmentalists...oh! sorry...photographers, artists, NRIs, aam aadmis who contributed to the success of the GBA ...once upon a time -- till it was cut by a coloured tainted knife...sliced into two...two colours...two sides...what guarantee is there that it will not follow suit like the GBA...time will tell... Looks like save Goa is a big business...in Goa...so we will see more fronts, andolonists, photocars, phampleeters, chorus boys, front benchers, cheer leaders join in... Looks like there are several silent investors investing in fronts formed to save Goa...posh hotels...nice snacks...nice media coverage...who pays? Instead of going to the battlefield...one can give the elan-e-jung from a posh a/c hotel...that too...which belongs to a top mining magnate itself...but then blame it on the monsoon...i do no wish to spoil my foreign equipment to this bloody monsoon...its raining too heavily outside in Goa these days...lets do it...from the inside! Goans are fools anyway...what anybody can take them for a ride...anybody...even a ... Where is the agenda? Goa for Goans or Goa with Romi Koankanni...Goa with tambdi matti or Goa with coloured matti... Save Goa's coast or forests or language or culture or cuisine...what...the people representatives have a good apetite...we've discovered of late... I understand that Goans have given a verdict at the opinion poll...recently at the assembly elections we again gave a democratic and legal verdict by electing 40 (gentlemen) to safeguard our Goa and its future, language, culture, heritage... We rejected the troublemakers and elected the real leaders... so why on earth do we need a Goa People's Ass-embly...or a Goa mob assembly? Next we should have a seperate Assembly building...proxy MLA's...as someone 'wisely'suggested...not 40 but maybe 420 MLA's... Saving Goa is not about rushing to a building site with a camera and a group of people...save Goa by saving its language -- koankanni, its secular people, its beautiful cultural and Indo-Portuguese history and heritage... Save Goa by cleaning the garbage...not a sermon from a podium in an a/c 5 star hotel... Save Goa by destroying the communial elements and promoting the communial harmony of this beautiful land... Save Goa by saving yourself from falling prey to the vicious game plan... Cedric da Costa Dubai
[Goanet] What's with Goa's Law Ministers?
What's with Goa's Law Ministers? The law minister in the previous BJP government led a mob that stoned Casa Portuguesa at Mapusa... -- the then CM Porrikar tolerated him even then...

[Goanet] Sharad Pawar should sack Narvenkar
-Sharad pawar should sack Narvenkar After the infamous ticket gate scandal, Narvenkar got away, the then BJP government did very little to nail him when they could. The public re-elected him, thereby giving him a green chit... Digambar Kamat, in the mother of all ironies trusted this scamster and loot-marist with the finance portfolio... Goan politicians are strange bedfellows...they flock with their types...congress bjp...there is no difference... It has been too long since the long hands of the law caught up with narvenkar's race of corruption... It was a shame fo Goa and Goans to tolerate Narvekar...but Digamber Kamat and the high command...despite openly revolting by supporting his brother's non congress campaign at the last elections...gave him a new life and a prized portfolio... Today Narvenkar has not only shamed Goans, his community and Goa...it is a matter of great shame to India, BCCI and to Sharad Pawar that such a corrupt person should be a vice president in the BCCI... Like i wrote before...its time for the people to burn this narkasur...its been way too late, but better late than never... Cedric da Costa Dubai

[Goanet] Gulf Goans Support
Dear Arwin, As a fellow Goan working hard in the Gulf, I totally agree with your writings...but i guess somewhere you contradict yourself... *** --- you complain about localisation in the Gulf --- well why not? the country doesnt belong to us, but we are allowed to come here and work, nobody called us, we came for our own benefits... that's why i guess we are here...Gulf Goans! as you call them...yet we are expats here...accept the fact! so you are still allowed to come and work in the gulf, start a business etc...all fair! *** --- in your post you also talk about -- saving Goa for Goans? so when it comes to your land...you sing a different tune? Apply the same logic...work out the math... Cedric da Costa Dubai 1. Gulf Goans Support (Arwin Mesquita) Gulf Goans today face many difficulties i.e. declining living standards, localisation, reduced savings etc. Many contemplate leaving the Gulf soon. We must take strong interest on Goa's Identity, mega-projects, corruption, mining, destruction, alarming outsider land sales, uncontrolled migrant influx etc. We must work with residents to save GAroa for Goans; including future generations. Gulf Goans can help Goa significantly; if only we wake up immediately and think positively/constructively. Have we lost hope/belief in ourselves/Goa? Our home is in region (including China) where the economy is booming vs. others; education (all layers) medical are getting international respect. Rich nations are targeting our region as the future; there is strong demand for Goa by outsiders and strangely today, we have on a large scale Entire Well off Gulf Goan families migrating; abandoning Goa; selling off properties!! Are we really a short sighted community in general; lacking a real long term vision? How much wealth is really enough? Is so much migration really relevant today and does it not influence the erosion of Goa's Identity? Are western societies really better off as a whole? Think about identity/value/family issues that our future generations will face; or is it just the materialistic things that interest? Let's stop complaining looking only at all the negatives of Goa, which are just excuses for our reluctance to act or to justify today's debatable migration. Surely, Goa also has positives vs. other societies. We should start from the positives, address the negatives and see how we can together make Goa, the place we want it to be. I believe we can do it, if we just put our heads together and look at what we can do and not, what we cannot do!! After all, there is no place like home. Arwin Mesquita, UAE.

[Goanet] Of Congress and BJP ...things to think about seriously...
Of Congress and BJP...things to think about seriously... GPCC president -- Francisco Sarinha -- brought down the ruling Congress govt to tie up with BJP to give them the first taste of power... Goa's Chief Minister -- Digamber Kamat -- revolted against the Congress as was denied the official congress ticket...embraced BJP...was the main BJP warrior to propogate the Saffrom agenda and was commander no 2 in the BJP which carried on the communial agenda to destroy the secular fabric of GOA...untill he suddenly felt suffocation and rand back to the congress oxygen...(money) Half of the Congress ministers and MLA's are defectors...i would leave it to the readers to comment on the less significant congress cum BJP men... So the equation is that congress=bjp and vice versa...you scratch my back and i scratch yours... i guess it is time for the people's power to come out and contest elections and show the door to the national political parties that are taking us for a ride... While the congress is a total failure as a ruling party...the BJP (less said the better of it) has show us that as an opposition it is more weak than in power... I guess it is time Goans wake up...every village and city to project thier own candidates...push away the corrupt or communial forces and replace them with fresh faces... Cedric da costa Dubai

The Other side of Rape... Rape is a strong word... a strong action of a weak mind... Lot of posters have posted on Goanet shouting RAPE loudly and clearly... But as many posters put it...and as we have observed that the people shouting Rape are actually trying to hide a hidden agenda to Rape... The rape of goa as it is projected has been going on since decades...it is the same rape that started with the construction and mining boomnothing new...its just that some new fellows are seeing Goa being raped and have suddenly woken up to an old fact... But in the race to shout loudest the word rape...the actual rape of Goa and its ruling government is being tried to push under the carpet... There are many other types of rapes happening in goa through the backdoor and alas...the flash light of cameras is too dim to capture it...Rape is also happening in the hidden propoganda and the hidden agenda...the loud shouts are used to throw a blanket on the Goemkar's mind about the sins of the past governments that ruled goa... Goans beware...the true colours of vested interests are seen by one and all...Goa was being destroyed ages ago...not just by the current government...by focusing my biased lenses on the failures and shortcomings of the current ruling dispensations...i may not be able to hide the sins of the past governments... cedric da costa Dubai

I would like to present the bare fact before the Goemkar...If congress is aiding the builders why is the BJP as the main opposition silent? Why is porrikar not in a position to create a mass awareness like GBA did to the Goan public? If Digu is aiding the mining lobby to destroy...why is the BJP silent or looking the other way? Why is porrkar as the leader of opposition leading a movement against the mining lobby? They say that there are drug cartels operating in Goa..but neither the congress nor the opposition BJP are interested in liberating Goa from the menace... The above shows that Goa is caught in between the devil and the deep blue sea...the Goa may burn by falling from the frying pan into the fire... Many sing hossanas of the BJP while denounce the Congress as well...some are so confused and so fanatic...they make absolute fools of themselves... A certain group --- and all know which one -- also tried to show Goanet that the party belongs to highly placed intellectuals like dotors and engineers living right from the Bahamas to the Bermuda Triangle...slowly they disappear and their foolishness gets exposed... I say the ruling party can loot and plunder only if they share the spoils with the watch dog...in this case the opposition party... Barking dogs bark from a distance...hungry dogs also bark... So Goans must make up their minds who is the enemy...the robber of the person who is wathing the looting of Goa with closed eyes. I feel Goa must go for a third force...a peoples alternative to check the rampant corruption...the people's might must come out...contest elections...and drive the current breed of politicians away...the looters and the corruptors are not only the ruling MLA's but all 40 current legislators are involved in sharing the spoils of the plunder... And I am sure the aam aadmi of Goa will agree with me 100% on this... Cedric da Costa Dubai

[Goanet] Press Statement by Matanhy Saldanha
-Press Statement by Matanhy Saldanha Defeated at the last assembly elections in his constituency as he had allegedly let his constituency down specially by alligning with the communial brigade...Mathany today is quite active. I only wished Mathany Saldanha was so active when he had power in his hands... if we go back to his days in power as a tourism minister...he couldnt even with all the communial might behind him push back the River Princess... these out of power politicians try to show that they are people-centric when they are not elected...but once in power...take the electorate for a jolly ride... Goans must be aware of such politicians... and teach them a good lesson at the next hustings.. Cedric da Costa Dubai
[Goanet] Goacentric Political Party
Well Anesimo...the options before Goans are thus: (1) Congress = Corrupt around 60% secular (2) BJP = corrupt 500% communial...shameful past histroy in Goa (the equations as of today : there are more BJP men in congress who are saffron tainted...) so there is no originality...tomorrow congress is in power, saffron MLA's jump over to grab the crumbsif BJP is in power...its vice versa...such is the pathetic political scene in Goa...its a joke! now choose... its like the devil and the deep blue sea... what Goans have seen in the many decades of congresss rule...was enough to get them re-elected...what the BJP with its RSS and Bajrang dal activists showed was shameful and may never repeat again in Goa... True Goans do not want Goa to be turned into a Gujarat... Regional parties come to being on the eve of the election just to break into some party's votes and are often financed by a rival national party who has the money power... the common intention of the forces that float regional parties on an almost fly by night basis...is to extract a ransom...there are many who did and are today enjoying the fruits of ransom at elections...some even went ahead to get an election countermanded back in the 80s... eg: (1) Save goa...supported and financed allegedly by the BJP to break into congress...a year down the line...see where is churchill...yesterday morning churchill was opposing mopa...by noon he is holding the mopa file close to his chest...what happens? people loose...Goa looses... (1) UGDP -- where is it? (2) Goa congress -- Extinct?? (3) MGP -- on gas support! (4) Goa Suraj -- yet to open a legislative assembly account! So you see...what will the Goans choose from? I guess Goa is not as huge as other states in India with strong regional parties to call the shots... The way things are going like it or not...the next comming years will belong to the Congress and the NCP...the NCP is the underdog...Dr Willy is always full of surprises and is a seasoned master politician...so expect more surprises from him in the comming days...the BJP will deminish due to its own doing... and after seeing the debacle of the regional parties in Goa in the recent years...will Goans, specially the huge migrant vote bank vote for a Goa based party...not in the next 25 years...you think regional parties have a chance among the Goan electorate? The votings trends in Goa are to vote at least an independent but not a regional party candidate, cause ultimately the govt at the centre will always play around with a regional party if it comes to power...then what...all development stops! think again... by putting a regional force, it will only dent secular votes and give unsecular elements power on a platter which will be the last nail in the coffin for Goa and Goans... cedric da costa Dubai, UAE
[Goanet] Hell Descends on Pilerne --
Hell descends on Pilerne -- Frederick [FN] Noronha * Well said Fred, after seeing that many forums have failed to create an impact and give a boost to the hidden agenda of the trouble makers and gossip mongers and the wolves the so called saviours have chosen photo-journalism by giving it a destructive tinge. But, however, the cat is in a fantasy world that the rat has changed its stance against it and will begin to trust the cat when it tells the mouse that it has turned vegetarian! Get my point several times on Goanet a strong effort is made to create a panic situation about the ground realities of Goa by focusing on conversions and construction ills, the real behind-the-scene to communialise Goa or to destabilise the governments or to induce resignations to support toppling bids is being hidden. The various rantings of so called guardians of Goas churches and chapels and trying to create an aura that the chapel or the church is in danger is only a way of spreading falsehood and trying to provoke the catholics against a particular party the minorities may be sympathetic to as opposed to the ideology of the communial elements. But try they may and get a national or an international award of falling on the battle fighting they cannot change the mindset of the re-charged Goan it is not the propaganda but Goans are waking up to the fact that there is a hidden agenda riding dangerously on the back sides of the photographic evidence produced. If the saviours of Goa are interested in focussing their ever so powerful lenses of imported nature on the issues of Goa why dont they start with Panjim Cortalim Monti Dongor at Margao There is no need to go to a forest and photograph how a tiger has pounced upon the rabbit...expose the destruction when Goas very cities are in a mess. when the hyneas have laid seize on Goa's top villages and cities...specially Ponje, Vasco and Margao capture that in your smart lense and expose Like I said before if Peter is a land racketeer and is supporting a defection to suit my interest to regain power through the backdoor I choose to call him a regional or national HERO But if Paul is a pro-Goa activist and is not getting involved in a defection or toppling game oh my Good he is a rogue, traitor, rapist, plunderer and whatever is bad is associated to him Even a pre-primary school kid can see through this nefarious agenda Goans -- beware of the wolf within!

[Goanet] If Dotor Oscar is a Judas....then...what is ...?
If Dotor Oscar is a Judasthen...what is ...? Mails, posters and pamplets galore from the saviours of Goa all over... Soon there will be VCDs circulating and photo exhibitions organised in every slum on how the green eyed Dotor betrayed... rapist, molestors, chaddiwallahas, lungiwallahas, kashtiwallahas, topiwallahas, suitwallahas, dhotiwallahas, tiewallahas, chappelwallahas all sung the chorus in perfect harmony... moles, kismore, parro, soles joined in... seasnakes, vipers and malunds also hissed in... the koles, heynas, cheetas, chemeleons and the rabid dogs barked hard and loud... The cries outdid the onsetting of the monsoon and the thundershowers... the now almost extinct frogs croacking in the few fields of Goa went unheard... in the ensuing din... the anthem was ...dotor bab is a Judas... GBA which originally meant Goa Bachao Abiyan...took several different shades as it suited the painter... It was not M F Hussain, but Niz Goenkars who painted Dr Oscar's heroic pictures a few months ago... -- now they painted him in the nude...and nobody protested... till date several guardians of GOA are working overtime to drill holes in the GBA ship...so that diluted water enter the ship and it sinks...another ship sinking on the Goan coast??/? Surprisingly if the fanatics have their way...Dotor Oscar must be persecuted without a trial...he must be burned like a narkasura...crucified...stoned...kicked...yes...he has no right even to add Dotor to his name, despite his best degree in medicine... his eyes give out...he is a traitor said the roadside jury...they went all out to track his roots and family tree... Alas... i agree...and request all and sundry to agree to thee...but until proven guilty...he has a right to be... And if the chorus boys are so keen to kick him out for ONE alleged goofup...how can the same chorus boys try and convince Goankars to forgive and retrieve Porrikar for his many sins... surely the rule of the land applies to all...and is equal? and has to be...it better be! If one Oscar be damned for life for one sin...how many lives should we the Goans damn the current politicians for their many sins? The Oscars came to be...because of the sins of the past and present politicians and the public mistakes of electing the corrupt beings... Wake up Goans...Tom McMohan said...everybody wants to help save the earth, but nobody wants to help mom do the dishes...apply this to the Goa saving guardians... Goans beware of the Wolf within...

[Goanet] Sardinha justifies turning Goa into a brothel
Sardinha justifies turning Goa into a... Well...firstly rape, sex, brothel, pimps, seems to be the best words of this poster,... can we see some decent language on Goanet plese..but i guess we are expecting too much out here... Sardinha is the same person whom the fanatic brigade induced to bring down the congress government and that time they called him a martyr, sant, dev, hero...those days sardinha was described as the Ram who destroyed the Ravana... soon the saffronites as is their habbit stabbed sardinha in the backside... today as Sardinha has ressuructed his political career smartly as since he belongs to the minority community and since the saffronites cannot get a base in his Curtorim constituency he becomes a villian...

[Goanet] Open question to Mathany Saldanha
Dear Floriano, the contents of what you call a -- can of worms -- is kown by all Goans... trust me...the shades and different colours of the politicians and how they took Goans for a ride is by now common knowledge. The last elections threw some surprizes...await another one -- watch how those that got lucky will bite dust...Goans have or are slowly waking up to the ways they have been traditionally played with...the worst politicising of Goa was the dividing of it on communial lines... All these empty vessels that are making the most noise these days are actully camouflaging the actual hidden agenda...you think any government elected to power or comes to power by the back door (like BJP excels in this game)...will actually drive the land sharks away? Its just that Peter is jealous that Paul is in power and is trying to bring him down so that he can grab Pauls power and all the loot that comes with it... The intelligent Goans are realising this very fast...and also realising the fake propoganda of the communial elements... and btw, by now you should know...i have faced the worst...nothing can be more frightful than what i have gone through and my experiences right from my college days...i fear none, except the Almighty! Not in the least a bunch of clowns! Kind regards Cedric da Costa Dubai
[Goanet] Communialisation of Goa
Communialisation of Goa At Goanet we have heard a lot on the topics i have listed below: (1) Rape of Goa (2) Murder of Goa (3) Molestation of Goa (4)Betrayal of Goa (5) Selling of Goa (6) Photography of Goa i wonder why Goans don't talk about : (1) Communialisation of Goa (2) Saffronisation of Goa (3) Saffronisation of the Goa Police (4) Backstabbing of Goa (5) CM through the backdoor in Goa (6) Sex scandal at Miramar (7) Instigating riots in Goa (8) Turning Goa into Gujarat (9) Toppling games of Goa I suggest Goans could add a lot more topics to the above few that I have suggested...lets have some humour instead of heavy words like rape, murder, pimps etc...wish decency,...for those who have it was more exhibited out here... I guess there could be very interesting debates on the above topics... Beware of the WOLF within... Kind regards Cedric da Costa Dubai, UAE
[Goanet] Beware the Goan media! Breaking Nooj
Beware the Goan media! Breaking Nooj ( Frederick Noronha [??? ???] ) Well written Fred...the day is not far when Goanet will also be labelled... Any form of media that doesn't support the nefarious hidden agenda of the fanatic brigade or refuses to change its print colour to saffron is either sold or are bought over... smart analysis this by a foolish mindset. Like i wrote before there is a huge business opportunity to start a fresh media house in Goa... Cedric da Costa Dubai, UAE
[Goanet] Open question to Mathany Saldanha
Open question to Mathany Saldanha 1. has the mehta strips factory at cortalim turned to producing non-poluting materials? till date several villagers from Loutoulim, verna, cortalim and vasco who were bullied by Mathany to go to the forefront of the anti-mehta strips agitation are suffering haressment and have to go to the courts to attend to the cases against them...their main instigator --who we know led the agitation to ressurect a sad failing political career -- ditched them the day his personal political ambitions were achieved...worst still he chose to tie the knot with the saffron brigade... the anti-mehta strips agitators were sent to the front to face lathis and persecution by the police while in the dark of the night their leader did a turn around... can Goans trust such sad politicias who have no ethics whatsoever? see what happened ... he didnt last another election... regards Cedric da Costa UAE
[Goanet] Beware the Goan media! Breaking Nooj
Surprisingly we never heard any expose of the media when Porrikar was in power and when he literally tried to suffocate the Goan media with his fanatical and communial leadership... the same media houses were running the newspapers in Goa when the saffron brigade played havoc to divide and destroy the peace loving secular people of Goa on communial lines...the media then were super kings! has the media in Goa changed colours yesterday or last month or have certain vested interests changed the colour of the lenses of their reading glasses... i think there is a good business prospect of starting a new newspaper in Goa... with the current newspapers and media persons being labelled so lowly..definately there is a lot of scope in starting a new newspaper with new media persons could be recruited ...so fresh avenues in the media may open up for reporters, gossip mongers and photographers... good luck Goans... People who live in glass houses... cedric da costa Dubai
[Goanet] Goa's Irrigation
Goa's Irrigation : Valmiki Faleiro Brilliant! finally someone out there dared to write in detail (expose?) on the manner in which Goa's haphazard irrigation system is planned. It only showed that since the 80's and till date the agricultural sector in Goa has been highly mismanaged and inbetween successful engineers (specially outsiders), PWD and agricultural ministers have made a huge buck by fooling the public of Goa. The selaulim dam is as everybody knows a huge state blunder and is often reffered to as a white elephant. And surprisingly till date, there is no hurry by the government to start the parallel water line. Margao has experienced several water shortages -- thanks to the record number of times the selaulim pipe line has burst. Well written Valmiki -- who else but a person who has walked the talk through a celeberated journalistic career and then as the margao mayor would enlighten the current generation better on the acts of ommission and commission that led to the selaulim pipeline disaster and also the slow murder of the irrigation system in Goa, specially the stron south Goa...

[Goanet] Indian Premier League (IPL), Rajasthan Royals and the Goa connection
Indian Premier League (IPL), Rajasthan Royals and the Goa Connection When the first ball was bowled on April 18, 2008, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, India, in the inaugural match between Vijay Mallyas, Bangalore Royal Challengers and Shahrukh Khans, Kolkatta Knight Riders the first ever Indian Premier League(IPL) got off to a flying start. History was created! The gentlemens game will never be the same ever again, not in India of course. And many a great cricketers of yesteryears and long gone from the surface of the earth, would have definitely turned in their graves, at this latest avatar of cricket. Yet again, in yet another sphere of sports India showed the world that it could and the World took notice and respectfully watched as the eight franchises were created and the top cricketing names in the world of cricket came together along with the best of upcoming Indian talents and the already accomplished grand masters of the game. A lot of money changed hands; many firsts were achieved. Indian cricket came face to face with bollywood, with corporate houses, with the moneybags and television channels literally fell over each other to be part of this great league. Today, we watched the most consistent Rajasthan Royals -- underdogs at the beginning of the tournament -- lift the cup. Astute captainship by one of the five Wisden cricketers of the century 2000 spin guru -- Sharne Warne with his super duper performances reasoned out why he is still considered the best name in the game. And if the IPL victory should inspire him to make an international comeback, Ricky Ponting willing, the world would get another opportunity to watch this spin legend in action again soon. After improving in every department of the game through consistent victories and learning from the mistakes through the few loses suffered in the IPL, Sharne Warne, displayed superb leadership and team management and steered his boys to a last-ball victory tonite in Mumbai, over the much-fancied Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings. Mid way into the IPL when Jaipur came under terrorist attack Sharne Warne and his boys were taking a breather in Goa Warne and the rest of the Aussie brigade, almost rattled by the blasts and security concerns were about to take the next flight back home, but better sense prevailed and also the faith in the Indian establishment not succumb to the savage acts of terrorism saved the day for the IPL. Can anyone think of an IPL without Sharne Warne or any of the other Aussie players who contributed so much to its success? The victorious Rajasthan Royals Goa connection is no secret. Goas ace Ranji player, the young and dynamic opener Swapnil Asnodkar, hails from Porvorim. The IPL has opened the doors to an exciting career in cricket for the like of Asnodkar. Several young players from Punjab and the backwaters of Bengal and other Indian states got an opportunity of their lives to rub shoulders with senior cricketers like Ricky Ponting, Sharne Warne, Stephen Fleming and Pidge John Mcgrath. To observe and learn and improve. And Asnodkar with his gutsy opening batting took on the world as he single handedly went after the best of bowlers in the twenty-20 format of the game. Captain Warne has left no occasion go without commending the team effort of his boys and the flying starts to the Rajasthan innings throughout the IPL which Asnodkar provided. Ravi Shastri, smartly described Asnodkar as the find of the tournamentat the final presentation. For his heroic on field performances I think Goans need to give Swapnil Asnodkar a standing ovation as he heads home to share the successful story of the interesting IPL tournament and the secret of the success of the Rajasthan Royals. Three cheers to a young Goan cricketing genius may he travel far to exhibit to the world his many cricketing talents. Cedric da Costa Dubai, UAE
[Goanet] Rape or Blackmail?
Rape or Blackmail? After reading so much on Goanet about the alleged rape of Goa...I wonder if all the noise created in the name of the dreaded word rape is actually a rape or blackmail... If one goes by...only certain constituencies and ministers are targetted...those that could be of help in any future toppling bid or who have been party to toppling bids of Digu's current congress government get away from the Lord's lenses... Goans must be aware to see beyond the hidden agenda to obstruct the growth of Goa by terming it rape...it is not a rape but a systematic blackmail of the government or of ministers to keep them on the run... The recent attacks on the GBA convenor Dr Oscar by several trouble mongers or habitual gossip creators proved the hidden agenda of these so called modern day saviours of GOA... Please look beyond carefully what is actully cooking behind the scenes and wait and watch...what is boiling will soon spill out in the open...its yet another half cooked khichdi...

Who scrapped the SEZ, Regional Plan...CM or Goenkars? i read in today's a BOLD statement by Goa's cm that he is the one who scrapped the SEZ and Regional plan...well i wonder how many would agree to that sefl promoting statement...the people of Goa had to take a lot of trouble to organise an agitation,the GBA should take the credit for the regional plan...cause not until the 11th hour the CM nor the ruling dispensation actually scrapped any plan... it is the people who saved Goa and not any politician...even now in the midst of the controversy related to benaulim...see how the CM is playing with the sentiments of the villagers along with Babu Ajgaonkar... If the CM wants to save Goa and be Goa friendly, he should first instruct the mines to practice non-polluting ways of mining...but that he will not...cause...he himself has invested in the mining industry and he and most of his and the BJP croocks among the current 40 are products of the mining lobby.

Today a group of fanatics are trying to save Goa...i agree with J C ...too late...Goa was lost when it was liberated...that liberation was Goa's doom... Today a group of photo journalists are touring Goa, and trying to put the blame on the ruling dispensation...what happened when other governments were in power? did they build mud homes instead of concrete jungles or they just didnt get enough time before they were kicked out by the electorate to convert Goa into a concrete jungle...tomorrow if the out of power brigade ever comes to power, will they build stone houses with lime instead of cement? Wake up Goans do not fall prey to this fake propogandait is easy to shout 'rape' and allow the rapist to run away or get away through the back door... in fact Goa was sold out by Bandodkar, sashikala, rane, willy and the subsequent politicians...the current greedy crop of politicians are only following in the trend of the old masters...and i doubt the new generation of politicians will ever change the trend...today corruption and loot is started at the panchayat, municipality level and it graduates to the MLA or minister level... take for example margao...babu naik laid the foundations for the monti dongor slum for migrants...when asked by the media once, digu smartly said he doesnt know who started the migrant trend in margao...digu built homes, toilets for them, gave them ration cards and also won their votes and hearts... can someone stop this type of 'rape'of this land... following such examples...slums have cropped up in every village...Goans must fight that...but the local politician and his panchayat or municipality level croonies will prevent that from happening...so understand where Goans lost?...where is goa losing? And the migrants wont care if digu contests the election on BJP or congress...to them he was the saviour under any banner, to them they believe Digu more than the God who they worship but have never seen heard or felt...so who cares... So the actual rape of Goa is done by who? the builders? the politicians? or the mine owners? or the migrants? or their patrons? or by Goan voters themselves? If the constitution is quoted...any indian is free to settle in any part of india...see how Amitabh Bachchan is proving that to Raj Thackeray...judge! One Goanetter shouts hoarse saying...Delhiwalla...doesn't all ruling parties in goa take commands from Delhiwallas? Isnt the high command of the BJP and congress in Delhi? so delhiwallas can decide on Goa's governance and that is pleasure...but if a delhiwallah develops property in Goa is is called 'rape'? Weren't there migrants and builders from outside Goa during the successive governements rule as they are in the era of the congress? Didnt investors from outside Goa come down to buy land and invest in business during the BJP rule as in the congress...? Why are Goans running away from Goa to the gulf...australia...london? why? Why is there such a huge demand to acquire Portuguese passports and flee Goa? Why are minorities feeling so insecure in Goa? and who fuels the fires against the minorities? Has Goa progressed since Liberation...we oppose anything and everything...from a new airport to a new housing plan...we target any growth prospects by naming it 'rape'wow what a word this? Goans, who ever are left out there...please see through the evil designs of certain vested interests who are set to ignite the fires in Goa and in every village and will run away to a foreign land once the hidden agenda is achieved... Be careful of the people who shout rape -- face them and ask them if they can help you catch the rapist than merely shouting rape or photographing a raped victim when it is too late...

[Goanet] Goa Meu Amor...
--- http://www.GOANET.org --- 5th Annual Konkan Fruit Fest Promenade, D B Bandodkar Road, Panaji, Goa 16-18, May 2008 http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2008-May/073789.html --- Goa Meu Amor... I was saddened to read a post equating Goa to a toilet...it also raised an eyebrow about the censorship on GOANET... What sort of title is this, what sort of people are writing such gibberish and who is allowing such posts to get published? and that too allowed to be posted on GOANET... Goa -- home of Goans...the land of peace and tranquility...can never be soiled...as our homes are located in Goa...does it mean our homes are become all toilets? I hope posters and the censors of Goanet do not let such titles go by as it is very displeasing to relate the beautiful Goa to being a toilet... Goa is and always will be a paradise...although of late and post liberation Goa has been treated badly and abused with all sort of corruption, COMMUNIALISM, loot and plunder... Please Goans lets chase away those trying to convert Goa into a dirt hole...and trying to divide Goans on COMMUNIAL lines...let Goa be that beautiful paradise it is meant to be...with its rich culture, heritage and koankanni language... Goa is a beautiful garden...and Goans will rise to the occassion to chase away those who are trying to destroy its beauty... Goans are secular...there is no place for COMMUNIAL zealots to divide and set Goa on fire, no place for corrupt elements to sell our land... The day is not far when the sussegad GOAN will rise and take controlliberate it again from the corrupt and communial elements trying to lay its hands on this beautiful land... Goa Meu Amor!

[Goanet] Clowns on Goanet
Clowns on Goanet I would want to help Goans understand that there is definately a hidden agenda of communial elements or anti-congress who are selectively targetting sites of builders and land sharks not owing allegiance to a certain out of power party... do not fall for this false propoganda to fool goans... be aware of clowns masquerading around as saviours... i bet Goans are smart enough... there is a fanatic brigade that is out in Goa to actually oppose all and any development? will Goa and goans prosper at this rate? Many accuse me of being in the desert...but imagine the elders of the deserts, if they sat on sandunes with their camels...would the deserts be what they are today? We require developments...we also require good infrastructure...but Goans definately dont require fanatic clowns... Kind regards Cedric da Costa Dubai
[Goanet] Rape of Goa? Photograph the Culprits?
Rape of Goa? Photograph the Culprits? We have seen several posts with titles like...rape of goa...rape of salcette...rape of ... It looks like there are some out of job persons in Goa who are touring Goa and trying to expose all and sundry in terms of constructions... well if we block every project and try to give it a bad name...will Goa ever progress? Who has appointed these few Goans as godfather generals of Goa? Are they really protecting Goa or are they saving it for future ruin when the communial brigade comes to power? I feel development is needed in Goa, but ot at the cost of putting pressure on the existing infrastructure. The so called éxposers of the rape'should focus their attention on the actual rape of Goa through bad roads, bad water supply, bad electricity, public transport system, etc...cause that is what effects the Niz Goenkars...can someone photograph the ghantis who occupy top jobs in governmental offices? can anyone photograph the corrupt montris and expose them? any one? or does this anti development propaganda through photo journalism have a hidden agenda? I think right minded Goans must ask this group that if they have the b***s they should focus their lenses on the culprits who are responsible for the rape of Goa than the rape? What sort of justice it would be if we expose the rape victim and let the rapist get away from the lenses? Any body to take up this challenge? I can arrange to sponsor the latest top brand camera for the cause... Kind regards Cedric da Costa Dubai

[Goanet] Land Sharks and the Mining Lobby destroying Goa
Land Sharks and the Mining Lobby destroying Goa It is good to see that Goans in salcette, specially the coastal belt have finally woken up from their deep slumber and also are begining to realise that all along, their elected representatives took them for a jolly good ride by selling their village land to the landsharks... But i would ask a questions to Goans as to who they consider a bigger threat? The Land Sharks of the Mining Lobby? While a section of Goans is attacking the outsider lobby in the real estatearn't there outsiders who have made a fortune by raping goa's forests and due to incessant mining activities? Why is the section of the so called future leaders not having the guts to confront the mining lobby? is it because the roots of almost all og Goa's main political parties have gone deep into the mining industry? I guess if Goa is to be preserved for another generation...and if the plans of the so called new age upcoming leaders of Goa who are raising a 'revolution' against the land sharks...i would like to see the same new age leaders to come out against the mining lobby in Goa... Is there a 'road map?' out here? Cedric da Costa Dubai - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
[Goanet] Goa's Fallen Youth Icon?
Goa's Fallen Youth Icon? It is but obvious and as pointed out in the Goan Observer of this week that there is definately a certain amount of malice in the selection of Goa's Youth icon -- the cigerette wielding Manohar Porrikar! I understand Goans are not so gullible as to fall to the facist propoganda carried out by some fanatics... If Goans think Manohar Porrikar is a Youth icon consider the following... (1) Porrikar is way too advanced the youth status and age (2) Goans will never want a nicotine addict as a youth icon (3) Communalism has no place in Goa and hence Goans will never vote for a communial facist as a youth icon (4) Porrikar has displayed time and again that he lacks ethics by constantly playing politics of back biting and double cross...brining legislators to desert parties and gain the majority... are Goans such fools as to vote for such a fallen man as the youth icon? The fanatic brigade must realise that it was Dr Oscar Rebello who was chosen as the IBN Goan face of the year... Cedric da Costa Dubai Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Rajan Narayan's fantasies... Brilliant mail from Selma...i guess Rajan would have been called a descendent or a brother of a prominent God or Goddess had he to tread the RSS line or sung fake hosanas of Porrikar...smashed the lower castes and praised the upper castes and aided in the wholescale communalisation of GOA! Which will never happen! As far as the Goa\s Youth Icon is concerned...all i can say is Goan's have not lost it yet! although the out of power fanatics seem to have totally lost it...

Dear Floriano... Please get out of your fantasy paradise and come down to the world of reality...You claim the revolution was born in 2000...we are eight years ahead since then...if your party couldnt make it to a single seat in the LA till date...its hopes are very dim... I am sorry to say, but there have been several opportunities for you to prove your point of a revolution and yet one hardly heard of a ripple created by you...so do you expect Goans to take you seriously in the comming future or an also ran...

[Goanet] Survey to name Goa's new patron saint
Taking a cue from TOI-GOA...i strongly suggest that Goanet take up a survey to name Goa's new patron saint... The survey should not be biased, pre-cast and should include a secular reader base... I guess soon Goans will wake up to a new patron saint for GOA...and he will be based not in old Goa but either in Mapusa or Panjim...if someone offers him a home out there, as allegedly the future patron saint of Goa doesnt have a home to stay in Panjim...ask one Tarcar, and he will enlighten you more on the subject... This idea came to mind at this unearthly hour of the night after I read Minguel Braganza's brilliant post... Trust some lunatics to make heroes out of zeroes... Goans await more planted surprises in the media in the coming days...the circus is about to begin and the ring masters are busy working overtime that this time around the lion jumps through successfully the ring of fire and doesnt beat a hasty retreat with his tail in between his legs...like the previous two attempts...

Resurecting Zuwarkar to crucify Babush? The recent move to ressurect the fallen Congress Idol and once money bag -- Somnath Zuwarkar from Taleigaon is a clear move to raise this narkasur to checkmate Babush at the coming hustings.

[Goanet] Famous Zatra -- Sister Goddesses!
The festivities of the famous zatra of Goddess Lairai in the village of Shirgaon got underway yesterday. Lairai is a member of the septet of sisters, one of whom is the Milagres Saibinn of Mapusa. This is an exemplar of the syncretic elements in Goa's religious tradition. The above is an extract that apeared on Goanet...may i ask the reader the origin of this scripture...i would want to read it myself... i immediately called a respected saraswat brahmin hindu friend in Mapusa...who retorted...ask the poster which is the elder sister and who is the younger...

[Goanet] SouthGoa is heading towards water crises
SouthGoa is heading towards water crises Very nicely put...the rate at which the salcette citizens are suffering due to acute water shortage is really a point to note...recently the BJP had organised a dharna in Margao...but of late...nothing has been heard... The state of south Goa's only dam at selaulim in pitiable...thanks to the mining lobby which polutes the entire water resevoir... but as long as politicians in power are supported by the mining lobby...there is much that can be done...unless the people come out in the open to expose the politician-mining lobby nexus. can we start with the CM?
