Boil the potatoes until cooked but still firm. Cut into potato 
salad-sized chunks. Mix the ingredients for the sauce together,

T-BUSH : Goa’s Budding Movie Maker .

By Wellington Dias.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

T-BUSH, from Nagoa, Verna, Goa, being interested in art since childhood is planning to 
embark on his long cherished dream of pursuing a career in film making.

With a Bahelor’s degree in Fine Art, majoring in audio-visuals through the Goa 
University, India and not content to rest on his laurels, he recently completed a 
Diploma in Film Making through the London Film School in the United Kingdom, with the 
main intention of being in the movie making business.
T-BUSH’s, short English film entitled, THE LETTER , is currently in production.

T-BUSH, over the years has contributed a lot of behind the scene support to many 
Konkani dramatists with his audio-visuals, etc. 
Now, he is all set to produce his dream project - ADEUS, MY LOVE, a full length 
silver-screen Konkani film (not a video film)

From what, I have been given to understand by T-BUSH, the film shoot’s locales are to 
be based in Goa, London, Portugal  France and presently, is on the look-out for the 
film’s cast .

For more details about T-BUSH and his work, kindly visit his homepage at the following 
URL :-

  www.t-bush.com

Or  contact him at :

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Seeing the zest  drive in T-BUSH and also the work being put in by him, I hope he is 
successful in his efforts.

A detailed article shall follow later

'LetsGotoGoa' campaign...

For last one month or so, this message was circulated 
to all friends/Websites etc  all over the world (not
just Goans/Indians), strangely, I got back this mail
with COMMENTS. Quoted in the end..

If that is true ? (I am sure there is some truth it
it).
What steps are being taken by our Govt. etc
to make these events successful?

Also copied to CM  others for their info. comments.

===
WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT GOA THIS NOV/DEC

Two big events to take place in GOA (india)

1. International Film Festival (IFFI) This November 

2. Exposition of St.Francis Xavier: Nov.21 to 2nd
Jan.2005 (This only occurs once in 10 years; This
saint died over 450 years, but his body is almost
intact, one could see his head, face, hand, fingures,
feet etc.with original vestments. He is in silver
glass casket and only opened to public once in 10
years.

for more details on GOA, the THE SAINT, pics etc check
the link below. 


http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/letsgotogoa/

or email:( joe) [EMAIL PROTECTED]


CHECK THIS COMMENTS I received..
(it seems this has come from a foreigner or Goan from
GOA?) 
===

Why you should NOT visit Goa this Nov/Dec 2004

1. This time: november-december, is a high season in
Goa. Hotels are overbooked, beaches and streets are
overcrowded, roads are overloaded, prices for
everything are 2-3 times more higher, than in october
or february. And it is realy very difficult to find
accomodation.

2. Last few years it became fashionable (due to
promotion) for Indians from Bombay and other big
cities to celebrate christmas and new year in goa.
That will attract additional 250 000 people.

3. This year stFrancis Xavier will be shown to public.
10 years ago, when he was opened last time, about 3
millions of people came to see. And all population of
Goa is only 1,3 millions!

4. At the same time, first Indian International cinema
festival will attract additionaly about 100-200
thousands of people.
That will be complete mess! I would not recomend to
visit Goa in that period. I`m planing to move from
here somewhere else in December. Allready last
December was too much...

[Gulf Goans] The Creepy Times 9

2004-08-13 Thread Ulysses Menezes











Hi Friends. 
There seems to be a little disagreement and difference of opinion with regards to my usage of the HTML version of sending out the Creepy Times (in other words the flashy colorful design) 
Some people prefer the text version as it takes a lot less space and is therefore a little faster while downloading. These persons are very few and I have therefore decided to continue sending the umm… flashy design out to the rest. If for some reason you prefer the text version as well let me know and I'll send you it. 
Though Creepy Times was originally meant to be a weekly issue I am forced to reduce it to bimonthly now. 
Rahul Alvares 

Know your snake 
a baby Russell's Viper 
Russell's viper. The snake is one of the four deadly snakes that causes many deaths in India and Goa .It islocally known as 'Ghonus' or 'Kusdo'. The snake can be easily recognized by its distinct body pattern of circular or diamond shaped brownish markings all alongits yellowbody. Only one of the pictures is of an adult. 
Myth;'Kusdo' is a Konkaniword meaning thesnake that causes rotting of the flesh. 
 
Truth; The myth is partially true in that an untreated bite causes gangrene (and consequently, amputation of the limb becomes necessary). But a more dangerous effect of thebite is that thevenom causes massive blood cell destruction, resulting in blood loss and finally heart failure. The bite can be effectively treated by administeringanti snake venin available at all the hospitals in Goa . 



Wild life celebrity 
Neil Alvares (not my relative...)
Working with wildlife seven years till date Neil's interest and profession in this line started through a tourism venture. Along with partner in business Harvey D'Souza a boat was bought by Neil which cruised the mangrove areas of the Cumbarjua canal teeming with tourists all hoping to get a glimpse of the mugger crocodile that still survives there. 
By the end of the year Neil had already started doing non profit trips for students interested as well. The trip highlights in addition to the spotting of crocodiles, is the vast biodiversity of birds that thrive there. I have personally been on a number of trips( that they never charged me for!) with them and got to see a lot of birds like the osprey, egrets, herons, four or five species of kingfishers, and many water birds- including migratory species that fly over from all parts of the world. The White Bellied Fishing Eagle is also a sight worth seeing as it glides through the air, a giant raptor searching for fish and sea snakes. 
A few years down the line Harvey and Neil founded Southern Birdwing their very own NGO for conserving wildlife. Neil admits that the Forest Department also backed them up with a lot of support when they needed it. 
The things that Neil likes about his profession are that he gets to see a lot of places all over Goa . ‘Plus you are always happy that your are not doing something that is damaging to the environment' he chuckles. 
Neil feels that group rivalry among wildlife enthusiasts is the biggest setback to our efforts, and he firmly believes that in order to really make a difference when saving wildlife we need to push our differences aside and unite as one to succeed. 
Get the Buzz on him at 2402957 Mobile:9823028688 
 .and he lives with his croc in everlasting happiness.

Dear Friends

On 5th August, I had sent this Urgent request to all Goans in Kuwait...

As per the present update Mrs. Selvin has been out of ICU since a week now
and has also stopped dialysis and is currently recuperating in hospital.
The response so far has been excellent where many friends donated blood. I
have also
heard that the local Church was also involved  in this...

Myself, and Christie would like to thank all the donors and those who
visited and prayed
for Aunt SelvinMay God bless you all.

We pray that she recovers soon.

Regards

REMO'S reply (pertaining to some case filed against the Aflatoon song), forwarded as 
is. 

Wellington Dias.

Remo’s Reply

I’m not quite in a position to offer a categorical comment, since I have not yet 
received the complaint or the warrant, and I do not yet know what exactly the 
objection to the song is.

I would however like to state that I was engaged to sing the song “Aflatoon” as a 
playback singer. The song was neither composed nor written by me, but I have 
personally found nothing objectionable in any of the lyrics I have sung. These are 
also the very same lyrics I have been singing live on stage ever since. I am 
reproducing them below.

If anyone has dubbed or added some other voices or lyrics to the song after I recorded 
my part, that is their responsibility, not mine. Today there are directors who insert 
nude scenes shot with extras into romantic film sequences shot with established stars; 
editors who cut and twist press and even TV interviews around so as to completely 
distort their intended meaning; people who take the faces of respectable celebrities 
and superimpose them on porn actors’ bodies and put them out on the Net. Truly 
anything is possible.

I just wish to state that I have always been known to compose and sing songs with 
social messages, setting a good example to our youth and adults alike; songs against 
drugs, war, destruction of nature, exploitation of women, adolescent sex, AIDS, 
corruption and communalism. I have always refused extremely profitable endorsement and 
advertising deals for alcohol and tobacco, so as not to encourage our youth to drink 
or smoke. I have recorded albums containing the Gayatri Mantra, Jai Jagdish Hare, and 
the life and work of Mother Teresa. Do you truly think someone like me would even 
entertain the idea of singing a ‘derogatory’ song?!


Remo Fernandes

Siolim, Goa, 31st July 2004.

THE LYRICS: “AFLATOON”

Yaron mein paagal ho gayaa
Dekho mein gaayal ho gaya
Galli galli mein tujhe dhoond rahaa
Naam pataa tera puch rahaa
Kis number pe karoon telifoon
Dil mein talaash teri sar pe junoon…

CHORUS: Afla-Afla-Aflatoon, mein hoon Aflatoon!
Aisa lagta hai who kahin chchupi hui hai
Meri kismet ki gaddi kahin pe rukhi hui hai
Woh mil jaaye to aa jaaye
Dil ko zaraa sukoon….

CHORUS: Aflatoon, mein hoon Aflatoon!
Gori ho ya kaali ho koi bhi chalegi
Par woh paise wali ho koi bhi chalegi
Mujhko kya woh sari pehne
Ya pehne patloon?

CHORUS: Afla-Afla-Aflatoon, mein hoon Aflatoon!
Aflatoon, mein hoon Aflatoon!
Aflatoon, mein hoon Aflatoon!

[Gulf Goans] REV. FR. FELICIO DINIZ: 1989 – 2004 IN BAHRAIN

2004-11-28 Thread Ulysses Menezes




http://www.goa-world.com/goa/bahrain/revfrfelicio.htm

REV. FR. FELICIO DINIZ: 1989 – 2004 IN BAHRAIN.
TRIBUTE TO A DYNAMIC PARISH PRIEST



In October 1989, the Sacred Heart Church, Bahrain saw the arrival of the energetic young priest, Rev. Fr. Felicio Diniz, commissioned by Apostolic Vicar of Arabia, Bishop Bernard G. Gremoli, to be the new Parish Priest.

Felicio Piedade one of the siblings from five brothers and two sisters was born to Ermelinda and Rosario Diniz, of Curtorim, Goa, India, on 16th March, 1946. After completing his graduation with the profession, being an Engineer arrived in the Sultanate of Oman in the year 1976 and worked for Royal Oman Police, in their Welfare Department. Whilst working in the Gulf and on reading the spiritual novel entitled – LIFE OF CHRIST, by Archbishop Fulton Sheen, came his childhood desire to be a priest. This desire was fulfilled when Bishop Bernard Gremoli, assisted him although his family members were sad but were supportive for his call.

He was sent to Rome for his further studies by Bishop Gremoli and was later ordained priest on 31st May, 1984 by His Holiness, Pope John Paul II, at St. Peter’s Basilica, at the Vatican. He celebrated his first mass at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Rome and returned to work at St. Michael’s Church in Sharjah for five years.

Soon after his arrival in Bahrain, his first important assignment was to prepare for the Golden Jubilee celebrations in 1990, when he first renovated the Mother Church. Recognizing the size and needs of the increasing congregation for the services that were held outdoor in humid and cold weather, he obtained permission from Bishop Gremoli and laid the foundation stone on 8th September, 1990 and project being completed, inaugurated and blessed a year later on 8th September, 1991 by Bishop Bernard himself, which is now the Multipurpose Hall, (where all obligation masses and other services are held) and the adjacent Kindergarten School. 

His next project was to demolish the old Comboni Sister’s convent, whose foundation stone was laid on 2nd May, 1992, with the opening ceremony performed by Bishop Gremoli on 6th January, 1993. He later modified and refurbished the Parish Hall formerly Baath’s Hall, to cater to hold limited functions of the prayer groups and Audio-Video room was built to hold Baptism and Marriage Preparation courses for parishioners.

On 15th August, 1995 a foundation stone was laid for Parish Community Centre, after demolishing the old classrooms and priests offices, and this was inaugurated and blessed once again by Bishop Bernard on 15th August, 1996, which now caters priests offices, canteen, classrooms for prayer groups use and for Catechism classes every Friday’s.

The biggest project was the demolishing of the old priests residence building and the construction of the Third Millennium Building, whose foundation stone was laid on the 15th anniversary of his priestly ordination on 31st May, 1999, with the project being completed and inaugurated in time for the Diamond Jubilee of our parish on 11th May, 2000 by Msgr. Guiseppe de Andrea, the then Charge the Affairs, Apostolic Nunciature to Bahrain. This building now boosts with the state of the art auditorium, social hall’s and the priest’s residence. His final project was the re-renovation of the Mother Church with wooden structure to replace the frailing wall paints and the opening of Perpetual Blessed Sacrament Adoration Chapel, that was blessed and inaugurated by His Eminence, Cardinal Ivan Dias, Archbishop of Bombay on 27th December, 2002.

After introducing many activities both spiritual and social for the pastoral needs of the parish, Fr. Felicio was prompted to begin the monthly newsletter, which was titled Sacred Heart Church, Family Bulletin, the first issue coming out in April 1992 and saw celebrating its 10th Anniversary in April, 2002.

A Thank You Honoring, a fitting tribute was given to Fr. Felicio by the Clergy and Parishioners on Friday, 12th November, where a play depicting his childhood till present was enacted, a short slide on his flashback in our parish, tributes, spiritual bouquet, flower bouquet, purse and cultural program by various communities were performed in his honor. This presentation was followed by welcoming our new Parish Priest on this occasion, which was witnessed by hundreds of parishioners who earlier gathered to give thanks to God during the Eucharistic Celebration.

Fr. Felicio, who has now passed on his baton to the new Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Thomas Quadros, will proceed on his Sabbatical leave and to pursue his further studies, will be missed by most of his parishioners, both young and old, but everyone will feel his presence and love. Hence, two of the local Goan artist’s who performed here few years back, dedicated a song for Fr. Felicio’s achievements and rightly named the inside of the church vicinity as the “Bahrain’s St. Peter’s Square” and it is rightly so.

Hello all

Just a brief note to advise that we have updated the website with 3 News
 
articles.

The first is a review of the Navelim Feast on 14 November 2004. 
Congratulations to the Navelim and Moira (Oct 2004) Committees who not 
only 
were instrumental in organising a very good social outing but also made 
some 
worthwhile donations to Goan Charities.

For a review of the Navelim feast please click here:

In our second article titled 'The Family Table' we look at the talk held
 by 
the National Trust at Experiment Farm Cottage in Harris Park on Sunday 
11 
September 2004. As part of the annual History Week celebrations, the 
National Trust organises events which seek to highlight various 
communities', their culture, food and traditions.  Three speakers were 
invited by the History Council (part of National Trust)  to speak on the
 
Family theme and share their community experiences. One of the speakers,
 
Indira Fernandes, a GOA member spoke about traditional Goan cuisine and 
it 
makes interesting reading.

For the benefit of those who could not make our AGM in September, there 
is a 
review of the proceedings and a small photo collage. This article 
summarises 
the outcomes from the AGM. The minutes of this meeting will be 
circulated by 
the Executive Committee in the next month or so. What makes this AGM 
unique? 
This was our first AGM post Incorporation and the AGM was conducted 
using an 
overhead projector. There was brief demo of our new Membership software 
along with a power point presentation of our proposed Mission Statement.

[Gulf Goans] Olive Ridley Turtles

Arribadas and Goodbyes!



By Pankaj Sekhsaria












What are the chances that a mechanical engineer would be able to effectively treat a patient suffering from a heart ailment? Not very good as you might imagine. The story of the proposed Dhamra ‘minor’ port project in Orissa is similar, rather like that of a timber company being asked to protect forests where it has been given a logging lease! The proposed Dhamra minor port is located just north of the boundary of the Bhitarkanika National Park on the Orissa coast and about 10 km. away from the Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary, the most important and spectacular nesting site in the world for the olive ridley turtle. This little patch on India’s eastern coast that plays host to an estimated 500,000 nesting ridleys (the biology of the olive ridley sea turtle) every season is probably the most crucial for the long-term global survival of these gentle denizens of the world’s oceans.
 The turtles themselves are to Orissa’s natural heritage what the sun temple at Konark is to its cultural heritage and history. The proposed port, located in the immediate vicinity of this extremely important and fragile zone, was granted environmental clearance not by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), but of all agencies, by the Ministry of Surface Transport (MoST) of the Government of India. Talk about self-interest! This bizarre situation has its origins (also see Dhamra chronology)in July 1997, when the MoEF itself amended the 1991 Coastal Zone Regulation (CRZ) notification under the Environment Protection Act (EPA), 1986 and handed over power to the MoST to grant environmental clearance to port projects. Surface transport officials may know as much about olive ridley
 turtles and marine ecology as a carpenter might know about extracting a tooth, but that obviously didn’t matter. In January 2000, the MoST granted environmental clearance to the port. The MoST’s clearance powers were finally taken back five years later in 2002, but as far as Dhamra and the turtles were concerned the die had been cast, the damage done. The other equally bizarre aspect of this whole episode is the nomenclature of a port project like this one as ‘minor’ (see box – Minor Ports, Major Trouble). Minor ports have another clear and rather exceptional exemption from the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) notification also promulgated under the EPA, 1986. They don’t need to go through the EIA process and as a result getting clearances for minor ports has been rather simple for state governments and project proponents.

[Gulf Goans] Player had heart attack: police

2004-12-06 Thread Ulysses Menezes




Player had heart attack: policeFrom correspondents in New DelhiDecember 7, 2004A SOCCER association in southern India has been accused of negligence in the on-field death of a Brazilian striker, a news report said today.Cristiano de Lima Junior, who played for the Dempo Sports Club of Goa in India's domestic tournaments, died on Sunday during the Federation Cup final. 
De Lima, 25, collided with goalkeeper Subrata Paul from the Mohun Bagan club and collapsed after slotting a goal. He scored twice for Dempo in the game. 
Police in the southern Indian city of Bangalore today registered a case of negligence against tournament organiser Karnataka State Football Association, the Press Trust of India news agency reported. 
Dempo's coach Armando Colaco claimed the delay in providing medical aid to de Lima had caused his death. 
The Karnataka soccer association rejected the allegation as baseless, claiming two doctors were on duty on the pitch. 
Bangalore's police commissioner, S. Mariswamy, said the post-mortem revealed that de Lima died of cardiac arrest. There was no proof that his death occurred because of the collision with the goalkeeper Paul. 
"He died of cardiac arrest, he died on the spot," said Mariswamy. 
The captain of India's national soccer team, Bhaichung Bhutia, blasted Paul for the foul against de Lima, and called for the goalkeeper's suspension. 
De Lima's body was flown from Bangalore to the western Indian city of Goa from where it will be taken back to Brazil. 
The current season was de Lima's first with Dempo and his second in India. He played for East Bengal, another top team, last year.The Associated Press

Rose Cookies 
Ingredients



Maida 2 Kg. 

Coconut Milk (1½ coconut.) 

Eggs 3 

Salt and sugar according to taste. 

Black Til ( little). 
Method



Mix Maida with coconut milk, sugar, salt and beaten eggs to a thick batter. (Dosa consistency.) Add Black til and keep aside. ( Water can be added if necessary.) 

Ensure the batter is thick and a falling consistency. If too thick add a little coconut milk.Check the taste, and pour the batter into a open rimmed dish e.g. a deep plate. 
When the oil is hot dip the Rosette Mould with the desired shape into the oil for 1 min - the first time. Lift the Mould and place onto the batter CAREFULLY, ensuring the batter does not rise over the edges of the mould for just about 5 seconds. Lift quickly from the batter and float the mould into the oil, shaking the handle gradually to get the Rosette slip into the oil. Continue with another Rosette (if possible), this time heating the mould only for 30 seconds (depending on the temp. of the oil) while keeping an eye on the one floating in the oil. Turn the Rosette (floating) when slightly brown, drain and lift when brown on both sides and place on oil absorbent napkins. Continue with the rest of the batter, either one at a time or two - depending on the size of the utensil.

[Gulf Goans] Puran Poli

2004-12-27 Thread Ulysses Menezes








Puran Poli


Ingredients


For filling (Puran):2 cups bengal gram dal,2 cups grated jaggery, (take 2 1/4 cup if jaggery is less sweet)cardamom powder,For dough:1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (or wheat flour)a pinch of salt,1/2 cup oilwater,some rice flour for rolling puran polis.
photo

Method1. Sieve all purpose flour and salt twice. Make a soft and pliable dough with water and some oil. Keep it under a wet cloth for an hour.2. Boil bengal gram with plenty of water. Drain it while it is still hot. Use colander for this purpose.This water can be used to make Katachi Aamati 3. Now add jaggery to this hot boiled bengal gram and cook on a medium flame. Keep stirring constantly so that it will not burn or stick to the vessel. The exact consistency is reached when it leaves sides of the vessel and gets thicker. Remove from the heat now.5. Allow it to cool and grate in a puran machine or a grinder. This helps remove the lumps. Then add
 cardamom powder and mix. Now Puran is ready.6. Knead the dough with hands. Use oil as well as water for kneading.7. Make round balls (about 2 inch. dia.) of this dough. Roll one ball a little bit and make a flat disc. Place some puran (about twice the quantity of outer dough) in the center of this flat disc.8. Seal the ball tightly. Roll again to make thin puran polis of 6 to 7 inch. diameter. Use rice flour for smooth rolling.9. Heat a flat griddle. On a medium flame, roast one side. Flip it and roast another side. Do not flip the sides over and over. Roast till golden brown.10. Smear ghee on top and serve hot.Tip: For puran (filling), you may substitute jaggery with sugar.Variation: Outer Dough: Use 1 cup all purpose flour + 1 cup wheat flour.For filling: Use 2 cups jaggery + 1/2 cup sugar.Dough should be very loose and pliable. Knead the dough gently before rolling puran polis.Puran is one of the many popular
 'Naivedya's (food which is kept in front of God during Puja) in Maharashtra.Goa-World http://www.goa-world.com/ Live Konkani Music http://www.live365.com/stations/61664Virtual Mahableshwar http://www.mahableshwar.com/  St. Mary's School - Mt. Abu - Rajasthan - India http://www.abusms.com/

The Brown Indian Band Storms Goa!

The Brown Indian Band took the 35th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 
by storm with a performance that blurred boundaries North, South, East and West.
The band led by bassist Colin D'Cruz, comprises Leonard Heredia on the 
keyboards, Scot Amstrong and Yvonne Gonsalves on vocals, Jayson Jones on the 
saxophone and Lester Godinho on the drums. The band was joined by South Indian 
musicians including the celebrated S. Harikumar on the carnatic violin, Ramdas 
NK on the tavil and TR Parameshwaran on the ghattam. Representing North Indian 
music were Dhiraj Kapadia on the flute, Yograj Borkar on the sitar and Saish 
Deshpande on the tabla.
The concert started a little later than could be described as stylish. It 
started off with an Indian classical recital by Kapadia, Borkar and Deshpande. 
Since the event had been billed as a jazz concert many in the audience stood up 
and walked away. Sadly, bad planning on the part of the event managers ensured 
that the crowd had thinned substantially by the time the South Indian 
musicians-Harikumar,Ramdas and Parameshwaran took centre stage.
A little bit of information on 24 year old wiz kid Harikumar: he has received 
dozens of awards including 'The most outstanding young violinist' which was 
given by former president KR Narayan. But his greatest gift is that of being 
able to play with jazz ensembles where he fits in effortlessly. Working the 
strings of his violin he sounds like a one man orchestra and when paired with 
the saxophone the result is simply divine. With the North and South done with 
it was time for the jazz musicians to take over. The group performed Morning 
Dance, an instrumental song called Equinox, Brazillian Love Affair, Love for 
sale and Braz Gonsalves' popular track Beautiful Goa.
After the intermission all the musicians came together in a fusion of East and 
West driving the audience, many of who had returned to their seats, wild with 
excitement. The performance drew a huge applause.

[Gulf Goans] Defection politics: Single MLA syndrome rules the day

2005-03-07 Thread Ulysses Menezes









 NDTVGOOGLE 


Defection politics: Single MLA syndrome rules the day 



Rahul Srivastava, Priyakna Kakodkar
NDTV.comSunday, March 6, 2005 (Ranchi/Goa):
The last seven days have been dominated by political controversies, be it the vote of confidence in Goa, or the alleged kidnapping of Enos Ekka, the man who seems to hold the fate of the new Jharkhand Governor. Today, many independent MLAs have become a crucial make or break factor in elections across the country. One of Goa's master defectors is Isidore Fernandes, who has switched back and forth between the Congress and the BJP without a problem, in the last three years.In 2002, he was a Congress MLA, but two years later, he was re-elected from the same constituency on a BJP ticket.Within three months, he quit the Parrikar government to re-join the Congress, and was sworn in as a minister in the Pratapsingh Rane cabinet in January this year.Switching sidesSingle MLAs like him are worth their weight in gold for big parties like Congress and the BJP, especially in a legislature where one vote can make or break a
 government. During the crisis in Goa, each vote counted and neither the Congress nor the BJP could afford to take a chance with horse-trading.Congress supporters were holed up in the bungalow of Taligao MLA Babush Monserrate, while the BJP flew its contingent to Jaipur for safekeeping. Toppling gamesHowever, Goa is a state famous for its culture of defections and topple games, considering it's a state which has had 14 chief ministers in the last 15 years.Isidore laughingly admits that switiching sides are all about bargaining for ministerial berths. Be it Goa or Jharkhand, all an MLA has to do is pick the winning side. What else changes hands is a matter of speculation. "It's important to be on the ruling side. Everyone wants to be a minister, but the limit on the cabinet is 12. We should change the rules and all 40 MLAs
 should get ministries," said Isidore Fernandes."The (Goa) government had two ministers without portfolios. Maybe we could all get ministries even without portfolios," he added. Tough anti-defection lawIncidentally, Isidore also has the dubious distinction of being the very first MLA in the country to switch sides after the anti-defection law became tougher.According to the 91st amendment, 10th Schedule, MLAs who switch sides now have to resign their seats and face a by-election. During the Goa crisis, five BJP MLAs resigned their seats. It was their resignation rather than the withdrawal of support by two MLAs (one independent, one MGP), which destabilised the Parrikar government.Resignation strategySo, both the Congress and the BJP weren't just trying to get smaller parties and independents to switch sides. They were trying to get each other's MLAs to resign. Mikky Pacheco is one of those who resigned
 from the Parrikar government. In the last two years, he has been with the United Goan Democratic Party, the BJP and now the NCP."I had decided on going for the by-election in September itself. I had joined the BJP with the intention of bringing down the government," said Pacheco.Defection politicsElection officials say that this shows how Goa, one of India's most recent states, has become the laboratory of defection politics. "Goa is known for setting an example for the whole country on the different ways to split and defect without incurring the wrath of the anti-defection law. This is a state in which the Speaker himself had defected," said Prabhakar Timble, state election commissioner."But after the anti-defection law, the new trend will not be defections but resignations, and the Isidore case, the brainchild of the Parrikar government, was the very first case," he added.  Art of switching sides However, if Goa is a laboratory, then in the past week, Jharkhand has taken the art of switching sides to a new level. Independent MLA Enos Ekka has emerged as the man of the moment in Jharkhand. Whoever Ekka votes for, will decide the future of the government. On Monday, the NDA claimed his support in a letter to the Governor when they staked claim. But on Tuesday, the UPA alliance claimed likewise, leading the Governor to allow them to form the government. On Thursday, the NDA actually produced him before President Kalam as proof that Ekka was supporting them. But a day later, the Congress accused the NDA of using strong-arm tactics on him literally. The UPA claims the NDA has kidnapped Ekka. He is now being kept in Rajasthan by the NDA along with other independent MLAs, presumably away from the clutches of the Soren
 government until the vote of confidence on March 15. Hung assembliesWhat Jharkhand and Goa have done in the past week is to just highlight a political reality. Several states are throwing up hung assemblies or governments with precarious majorities. Each vote counts, and the big parties, be it national or regional, who have realised that it's easy to scuttle a government, are no longer looking at wholesale 

[Gulf Goans] Puran Poli

2005-03-10 Thread Ulysses Menezes







Puran Poli


Ingredients


For filling (Puran):2 cups bengal gram dal,2 cups grated jaggery, (take 2 1/4 cup if jaggery is less sweet)cardamom powder,For dough:1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (or wheat flour)a pinch of salt,1/2 cup oilwater,some rice flour for rolling puran polis.
photo

Method1. Sieve all purpose flour and salt twice. Make a soft and pliable dough with water and some oil. Keep it under a wet cloth for an hour.2. Boil bengal gram with plenty of water. Drain it while it is still hot. Use colander for this purpose.This water can be used to make Katachi Aamati 3. Now add jaggery to this hot boiled bengal gram and cook on a medium flame. Keep stirring constantly so that it will not burn or stick to the vessel. The exact consistency is reached when it leaves sides of the vessel and gets thicker. Remove from the heat now.5. Allow it to cool and grate in a puran machine or a grinder. This helps remove the lumps. Then add
 cardamom powder and mix. Now Puran is ready.6. Knead the dough with hands. Use oil as well as water for kneading.7. Make round balls (about 2 inch. dia.) of this dough. Roll one ball a little bit and make a flat disc. Place some puran (about twice the quantity of outer dough) in the center of this flat disc.8. Seal the ball tightly. Roll again to make thin puran polis of 6 to 7 inch. diameter. Use rice flour for smooth rolling.9. Heat a flat griddle. On a medium flame, roast one side. Flip it and roast another side. Do not flip the sides over and over. Roast till golden brown.10. Smear ghee on top and serve hot.Tip: For puran (filling), you may substitute jaggery with sugar.Variation: Outer Dough: Use 1 cup all purpose flour + 1 cup wheat flour.For filling: Use 2 cups jaggery + 1/2 cup sugar.Dough should be very loose and pliable. Knead the dough gently before rolling puran polis.Puran is one of the many popular
 'Naivedya's (food which is kept in front of God during Puja) in Maharashtra.Goa-World http://www.goa-world.com/ Live Konkani Music http://www.live365.com/stations/61664Virtual Mahableshwar http://www.mahableshwar.com/  St. Mary's School - Mt.

My experience with the crooks and gangster in this life !

Dear friends, 
I am Dinesh Gopinath, staying in Abu Halifa. This mail is to 
inform 
you all about an incident happened to my friend 3 days back (on 
29th March 2005) and advise u to take necessary pecautions based 
on 
the same. My friend and his wife are working,  they have two 
kids (of 1.5 year old and 4 year old). Two months back due to 
emergency circumstance, he had to employ a house maid locally 
(as 
it happens to most of us), who was not having any official 
documents. Since they found her good at her work and behaviour, 
they allowed her to continue.3 days back (on 29-3-2005), when 
he 
came for lunch, he found she had locked the kids inside the flat 
and run away with all their valuables. They lost around 400 gms 
of 
gold which was locked in the cupboard and some costly sarees. By 
the grace of god, the kids were safe, but were panic of being 
alone 
in the locked flat. We had gone to Abu Halifa police station 
with 
some "Wasta". Since the appointment was illegal, he was not able 
to 
register a police case . Also, he do not have much details about 
her. The only clue he has is the copy of the door to door 
remittance slip of Dollarco Exchange when he sent money to india 
for her. That too is only a bank address with the beneficiary

[Gulf Goans] A Profile of Tiatr SuperStar Prem Kumar by Isidore Dantas

2005-04-25 Thread Ulysses Menezes



http://www.goa-world.com/goa/tiatr/premkumar.htm


PROFILE

TOPNOTCH TIATRIST


A profile of tiatr superstar Prem Kumar
By Isidore Dantas

  Goans are supposed to be having a languorous personality, but there are a few who have defied this personification. Prem Kumar is one of them. He can be called the reformer of the Konkani stage as his contribution has brought Konkani tiatr to a standard, which can compare with the other regional language dramas.
 Peter D’Costa- (his given name) was born in the historic village of Chandor, a former capital city of the Kadambas. As a member of the Cine Artistes’ Association, a Hindi films outfit in Mumbai, Peter was bold enough to ask Producer-Director Dhirubhai Desai, the doyen of Hindi films, for a role. As Peter was neither young nor old, it was difficult for him to bag a role. But Desai’s Production Manager Pralhad, scanning Peter’s talent, offered him a role of a blind man, which Peter acted to satisfaction. It is here that Peter baptized himself as Prem and set his foot in the Hindi film industry.
 He enacted several small roles in Hindi films like Mera Salam, Bandish, Shaukeen, Hum Bhi Insan Hai, Sakhi and Bahadur. K.N.Singh, a noted Hindi films character artiste, spotted him on the sets and patted him for his excellent portrayals. His performance in Hamara Hax as a Muslim moulvi (priest) won him accolades for reciting the dialogues in pure Arabic. Many spectators were bewildered to find a Goan Catholic doing this role to perfection. The veteran film director S.M. Esmael promised him a big role in his next Hindi film but fate willed it otherwise as the director expired and the promise remained unfulfilled.
 Prem made his debut on the Konkani stage at the tender age of thirteen at P. T. Bhangwadi, Mumbai, in Mhozo Put written and directed by himself and has today 54 dramas under his belt.
 Vasant Joglekar- a noteworthy name of Marathi stage once accompanied him to watch a Konkani drama of a top Konkani writer-director at P.T.Bhangwadi.The guest’s reaction to the scene of a landlord’s house against the backdrop of a jungle scene put Prem to shame. Here started the pursuit of Prem for the upliftment of the Konkani stage. His love for Konkani made him bid adieu to Hindi films.
 His dramas specialize in settings and visuals through the aids of projectors and slides- a new concept he introduced on the Konkani stage way back in the fifties. It is a joy to watch his dramas. He drenches them with spectacular scenes like in the movies. His dramas are patronized by the masses as well as the glitterati as they mix a strong story with powerful dialogues.
 Mortikar showed the fleeing of a murderer through a majestic back-stage projection of a road scene showing the criminal at his heels as is done on celluloid. Jivit Ek Sopon brought the best of Betty Fernandes- one of the finest actresses of the Konkani stage- in the disguised role of a male. Abdul Narayan D’Souza and Fulam ani Kantte dealt with communal harmony. Vavraddi enacted naturally by Prem himself presented a panorama of the rural scene-a treat to be cherished. His Piso is the only monologue of the Konkani tiatrs. The audience remembers with appreciation the scene in Maria Magdalena where Jesus asks her to quench her thirst from the rock, which will fetch her water. She strikes the rocks and the water zooms like a fountain on the stage to the thunderous applause from the audience. The late CardinalValerian Gracias
 was all praise for this religious drama. The late Y.B.Chavan who was then the Chief Minister of Maharashtra was flabbergasted to note that he was presenting the award to the same actor (Prem) who had acted superbly in the role of a crippled in Angounn.
 His magnum opus is Rinn, an experiment on the moving stage, portrayed a courtroom drama showing a court scene with flashbacks of events by moving the stage from the court scene to the actual events and returning to the original scene of action. The same drama witnessed the superb comic performance of Paul Romy in the garb of a gouio (blockhead) so much that the scene received an encore, unheard of in dramas.
 Although his dramas are big budgeted because of the props he uses, some of them have crossed the century mark, namely Dukh, Kakut, and Peleache Vostuchi Axea Korum Naie.
 He has over sixty trophies to his credit, including the Bandodkar Cup and Gold Medal for Vavraddi, I.G.P. Arun Bhagat Shield, Emanuel Printing Press Shield, Cine Times Awards, Natraj Award by Vasco citizens, Konkani Cultural Association Award, Konkani Sahitya Samiti Award, Prohibition Award of the Government of Maharashtra.
 Besides Konkani dramas, Prem has acted in the Konkani film Boglantt as the hero, which has Goan and Mangalorean actors.
 When asked as to how he manages to enact a role so naturally with emotions he says whilst acting he forgets himself and completely merges with the role. He is never complacent with the roles he performs and says his best is yet to come. Prem,

[Gulf Goans] Chris Perry - The Music Magician

2005-04-27 Thread Ulysses Menezes

CHRIS PERRY- THE MUSIC MAGICIAN
 
By Isidore Dantas



Chris Perry-the legend who gave a new dimension to Konkani music left for his heavenly abode on 25th January 2002,. Although death silenced his life, his enchanting music still reverberates in the ears of his connoisseurs. His electrifying music mesmerizes and carries us to a different world. His attempts at promoting music to appreciable and saleable levels have borne fruit.

He was born at Borda, Margao on 25th November 1928. He was the second son to Agostinho and Espiciosa Pereira among nine siblings. He married Lily D’Costa from Cuncolim and has four sons Miles, Giles, Glenn and Errol. His real name is Christovam Pereira but he cut it short to Chris Perry to become the legend of Konkani music.

Like many Goans, music was in his blood and music meant everything to him. His illustrious brother Joe Perry has already carved a niche by playing alto sax in Hindi films. He is remembered for the signature tune to All India Radio, which he has intelligently composed on drumbeats.


Chris entered the tiatr scene in the name of Bab Pinto and went on to stage his own tiatrs- Noxibantlo Nhovro, Padricho Lob, Vid Mog Kornaranchem. He learnt to read and write music all by himself. He was at ease with blowing instruments as saxophone, trumpet and flute as well as finger instruments like keyboard, piano and guitar. But trumpet was his forte. He earned famed as the King of Cha cha cha. His delivery of the music composition Cherry Pink and the Apple Blossom White breathlessly on trumpet earned him the sobriquet as Man with the Golden Trumpet.

His previous music can be heard on Columbia and HMV records in which main tiatrist C Alvares, Ophelia, Mohana, M Boyer… have lent their voices. Further, he left for Kolkatta, Delhi, and Madras to participate in playing music in posh hotels.

He then ventured into Hindi films and served the film industry for twenty-five years as assistant to Hindi film music directors. His magic touch can be seen in many Hindi films more particularly in Kabhi Kabhi, Trishul…

He revolutionized the Konkani music scene by introducing jazz music. He found the hidden talent of Lorna and exploited the same to bring out the very best combination for which the Konkani fraternity is indebted to him. Abghat kelo, Red Rose, Tum ani Hanv, Calangute, Nachomia Kumpasar, Bebdo, Ugddas, Sorg tujea dolleanim, Lisboa, Amerikak Pavxi, Noxibak roddttam… in the sweet and forceful voice of Lorna are still remembered by the hoi polloi as well as the glitterati. Tony Carr’s rendering of Cu Cu Ru Ru, Maddancho Soro, Kalliz Boong Bang zata have also become popular. He introduced Konkani music to top singers like Mohamed Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Usha Uthup. Mohmad Rafi’s rhapsody Bom Jezuchea re Konventant, Maria has won the hearts of connoisseurs of music. Usha Uthup in her inimitable voice has sung Meu Amor, Tum ani Hanv. The famous tiatrist H. Britton has also sung his compositions, which are
 Marialina, Kazarachem Utor, Bandra Festak, Bus Conductor, Dukhrachi Chevrisam…

His music standard is compared to that of famous musicians like Miles Davis, Charles Parker and Chic Correia. He used to write music from his heart,compose and arrange the same in which the Goan fragrance can be felt.

He has the distinction of producing Konkani’s fist coloured movie Bhuianrantlo Monis in 1978 in which the famous singer Asha Bhonsle has rendered some songs. Unfortunately, the film did not have good run as it was made in Hindi film style and had a low budget.

His musical shows Nhovro Mhozo Denvchar, Tum ani Hanv, Lob Padricho have become successful.
He has bagged the Best Composer award in 1974.

In 1975 he left Mumbai along with his brother to play in posh hotels and display his talent since the audience abroad prefers live music to recorded music. He established a music school to train students in piano, keyboard, drums as well as blowing instruments. He prepared students for London’s Trinity College.

Carnival in Goa, From Dubai with Love, Mhoji mai, Poilo Kiss are his famous cassettes.
He was a self-taught musician and would not tolerate anyone who sang out of tune.
I had the privilege of staging his musical play Nhovro Mhozo Denvchar in Pune which fond memories I still linger.
The government should bestow befitting honour to this personality who has brought Konkani music to the international map.

PORTUGAL HELPED PUSH GOA DOWN REFORM PATH, SAYS SCHOLAR
Ao ler artigos como este pergunto-me se o modelo de afirmação política de Goa ainda passa - ao fim destes44 anos - por continuar a deitar as culpas de todos os seus problemas sobre Portugal. Julgava eu que a luta pela liberdade em Goa já tivesse alcançado alguns objectivos, à semelhança do que nós em Portugal conseguimos em prazo de apenas 30 anos.
Tem lógica, osentido gregário das instituições; não se compreende que uma instituição se dedique à promoção dos seus contrários. Não creio que em qualquer outra sociedade as coisas se passem de modo diferente. Por isso afirmo que este estudo é redundante na perspectiva da lógica social e se compraz apenas em maldizer de Portugal como forma de exteriorização de complexos de triunfo mal conseguido.
Numa época como a actual em que o modelo de desenvolvimento de Portugal não passa pelo domínio político de quaisquer outros povos mas apenas pelo estreitamento da convivência entre aqueles que alguma viveram a mesma História (a ponto de ser actualmente o maior dador de fundos a vários Estados que em tempos governou), não se afigura de boarazão incentivar esta animosidade e manter a hostilidade em stock.
Em Portugal já fizemos as pazes com a História.

[Gulf Goans] T-Bush Won Best Film Award

2005-05-15 Thread Ulysses Menezes






T-BUSH won Best Film Award at the International Short Film Festival 

 


Tim Williams
Information Management Officer
US Embassy – Kuwait


T-BUSH won Best Film Award at the International Short Film Festival in London this year.

"The Letter" Film Shot in Middle East gives US feel.
Shot entirely in Kuwait last fall, ‘The Letter’ is the directorial debut of a talented young film-maker named T-Bush. "The Letter" is the moving story of a father who desires to recreate a lost relationship with his estranged daughter was awarded ‘Best Film’ at the International Short Film Festival on February 1st this year in London. ‘The Letter’ was a dream realized for T-Bush and also a breakout project for this gifted Indian-Goan producer-director who is now being recognized as an up and coming fixture of the film industry. The short film has all the appearances of being shot in the United States, perhaps California, because of the coastline and palm trees that are visible in a number of scenes. In this unprecedented endeavor, T-Bush cast amateur American actors from the staff of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait and used his abundant creative
 skills to make the movie appear as if it was shot in the United States. T-Bush’s promising first effort will be screened at most of the international short film festivals in the coming months and is sure to garner further acclaim. 
Obstacles Overcome
With its intense heat, blowing sand and rather isolated situation, Kuwait is hardly the usual scene of exceptional movie making. This middle-eastern country is known best for its vast oil wealth and for being invaded by Iraq in 1990. It has never enjoyed a reputation as a film-maker’s paradise and to be sure, that reputation may never be forthcoming. T-Bush defied the odds when he produced his award-winning short movie. His desire to capture an American look and feel was doubly difficult in Kuwait but he accepted the challenge and according to remarks from viewers he has achieved that goal. It’s astonishing that despite numerous exterior scenes, even Kuwaiti viewers may have trouble believing the film was shot in Kuwait. T-Bush used a troupe of eager volunteers from the American Embassy in Kuwait to ensure his film had an authentic cast of
 characters and he included numerous dashes of Americana in the sets to complete the impression. The editing process was complicated by the requirement to alter scenes that didn’t have an American feel.  






 
Entire Cast Comes From U.S. Embassy
T-Bush comments that, "My first short English film ‘The Letter’, 15 minutes in duration is shot entirely in Kuwait but you won’t be able to tell and that’s the way I planned it.” 
T-Bush assembled his American cast with the help of a friend Gabriel Fernandez who works at the American Embassy and provided casting suggestions. Most of the Americans Fernandez approached with the movie concept were game volunteers even without acting experience beyond their high school plays. In appreciation for helping him complete his production dream, T-Bush launched ‘The Letter’ with a premier showing at the American Embassy in Kuwait on December 8th, 2004. The ‘small hall’ audience of about 100 Embassy employees was enthusiastic in their praise for the film. 

 


On February 4th, 2005 the film was screened in cooperation with KGTS at the Gulf English School-Kuwait for an audience of more than 1000 viewers. After the screening, T-Bush accepted hearty congratulations from event organizers and the Utorda Club of Kuwait. He expressed great thanks to his new American friends at the U.S. Embassy for their enormous support. T-Bush is passionate about film making and says his next project, already in production, will be a feature-length comedy film– “All the Best” – "I am working hard to make this project extraordinary". In fact, his major project promises to be a smash on the Konkani silver screen, a feature film with the working title "Adeus My Love". T-Bush syas it was an idea he toyed with for quite some time. The ground-breaking plot
 involves merging aspects of Goa and Portugal within their individually powerful, traditional context. Describing it as a beautiful and rare love story with romance, comedy and drama, T-Bush says "Adeus My Love" is already in pre-production stage. The film is set for shooting at evocative locations in Portugal, London, and Goa.

[Gulf Goans] Dr. Aparna Parikh: Women's safety

2005-06-23 Thread Ulysses Menezes





Women's safety(Seems good for men too!)We can now add to the list of victims the retired 77 yr. old TCU professorfrom Ft Worth whose body was found last week in Oklahoma--and the 11 yr.old in Sarasota, FL.Because of these recent abductions in daylight hours,refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation...This isfor you, and for you to share w! with your wife, your children, everyoneyou know.1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. Ifyou are close enough to use it, do!2.Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans. If a robber asks foryour wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away fromyouchances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or pursethan you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHERDIRECTION!3.If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back
 taillights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. Thedriver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.4.Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating,working, etc., and just sit (doing their check book, or making a list, etc.DON'T DO THIS!) The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfectopportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to yourhead, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THEDOORS AND LEAVE.5.A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parkinggarage:A.)Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger sidefloor, and in the back seat.B.)If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passengerdoor. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into theirvans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.C.)Look at the car
 parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and thepassenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car,you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get aguard/policeman to walk you back out.IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid thandead.)6.ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horribleplaces to be alone and the perfect crime spot).7.! If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYSRUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; Andeven then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!8.As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP. It may get youraped, or killed Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,well educated man, who ALWAY! S played on the sympathies of unsuspectingwomen. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" intohis
 vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his nextvictim.9...Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard acrying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the policebecause it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her"Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door."The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near awindow, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get runover.. The policeman said, "We already have a unit on the way, whateveryou do, DO NOT open the door." He told her that they think a serial killerhas a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of theirhomesthinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have notverifiedit, but have had several calls by women saying that they hearbaby's criesoutside their doors when they're home alone at night.Goa-World http://www.goa-world.com/ Live Konkani Music http://www.live365.com/stations/61664Virtual Mahableshwar http://www.mahableshwar.com/  St. Mary's School - Mt.

Dear Mr. Menezes,
 
Hope this email finds you well. In the past 26 years CRY has been able
to reach out to over 1 million children. It would have not been
possible without support from concerned and caring individuals like
you.
 
CRY's financial year comes to an end on 30th June and the division is
running behind what we had committed at the begining of the year. If
we are not able to achieve the committed incomes, our disbursal to the
projects will be affected thus affecting the lives of many
underprivileged children. We are therefore getting in touch with as
many people as possible to help us make up this shortfall. Our sincere
request  if possible  would you consider contributing to CRY in the
next few days please ? You can do this by either donating online at
the CRY website www.cry.org or by sending a cheque at the  following

There are heroes 
in sports, who have done extremely well in their field and we also have plenty 
of forgotten heroes in Goa and elsewhere. We should recognize them, isn’t? 
Heroes have the courage, the guts 
we sometimes wish we had. It is easy to admire, much more difficult to 
generate.
We have our very 
own Menino Caldeira affectionately called as Goan Pele who was admired and 
cherished by all the sports lovers, at one time but today he is a deserted man. 
He is at the moment going through a pitiable and pathetic phase of his life 
where all have isolated him even his family and friends. He has to beg for a 
living….. when this man had given his life to football and thrilled his 
fans. Is it not the quirk of fate 
that has played on such a popular hero? 
As Menino is suffering from gangrene, he may loose both his feet (God 
forbid), if proper treatment is not made available to him. At the moment Menino is at Mother 
Tereza’s Home of Destitutes, Quepem. 
He was picked up by one of his friend Mr. Mario Coelho from Ponda and 
taken to Mother Tereza’s Home. Menino has shown a lot of improvement 
after being admitted here and looks better but a lot of funds are needed to get 
him back to his normal life.
With his feet he enthralled and 
captivated the football lovers in the 70’s and early 80’s, but what has he got 
in return? What are the clubs like 
Salgaocars, Vasco, Dempo, Morarji Mills and Piramal Mills doing for Menino who 
has given them victorious moments? Is he a forgotten hero for them? It is clubs 
like these and sports lovers who should come together to help recoup Menino’s 
frailty. 
Mr. Savio 
Messias, Secretary of Goa Football Association was very disturbed when he heard 
Menino’s sad plight and is working towards shifting him to 
Apollo Hospital, Margao and give him the best treatment. All this needs funds and to acknowledge 
the accomplishments of such a football player, he needs our support in prayers 
and ofcourse funding for his medical bills. Will all the football lovers, clubs join 
hands and raise funds to help Menino who is in dire need of help as this could 
happen to any of our present stars. Also the Goa Government should come forward 
in helping Menino Caldeira urgently.
Any one wishing 
to contact Mr. Savio Messias can do so at [EMAIL PROTECTED]and his

Go Goa : Suntans and bright smiles included by Reuven Proenca, Gomantak Times 27th July 2005 Goa IndiaGoa with it combination of super specialty hospitals and luxurious hotels, has been touted as an ideal medical tourism destination where ailing foreigners can combine a relaxing holiday with cheap but effective medical treatment.But the state is seeing a new trend: hitching onto the medico-leisure bandwagon are dentists who are offering their services at a fraction of the price their foreign clients would expect to pay at home. Dr. Ambert Pimenta, for example catches the attention of prospective clients with a simple promise: get your dental treatment in Goa and holiday for free. His website (www.goadentist.com) says, "Yes as I promised, here is how you can make your holiday to 

Goa absolutely FREE ! Consider how much you pay in Europe or America ...are the long lines and frustrating long waits at an NHS dentist wearing you down ? Compare our pricing with that of any NHS service or private practice for that matter, we will leave the competition behind.The subsequent arithmetic proves his point : the average cost of an all inclusive package holiday being approximately £600 per person. While a dentist in the UK would charge £900 for tooth whitening, three crowns and a bridge Dr. Pimenta, on the other hand does the same job for just £240 (approximately Rs 20,000), which he says amounts to a saving of £660, hence the free holiday. The website also carries details of various dental treatments and a comparison of costs.
While dentists practicing in and around the tourist belts have been treating foreign patients for years now, increasing numbers -like Dr. Pimenta, Dr. Anand Colaco and Dr. Hubert Gomes, to name a few are focusing their sights on the potentially lucrative foreign market. " Last year we had a lot of British patients ," Dr. Pimenta, who has clinics in Margao and Calangute, told Gomantak Times. " Goa is already been marketed as a tourist destination so we are just adding value to the brand by offering them our services"
He says that he first latched onto the idea of catering to tourists when a foreign patient told him how difficult it was to get treated by Britain's National Health Service (NHS)." He told me he had to sleep on the streets for hours to be among the first to get an appointment. Even then it would take at least six months to get to the dentists chair. What we do here is to offer them a holiday coupled with dental treatment and they get treated like royalty for a fraction of the price they would have to pay back home." Dr. Pimenta explained. He adds that he gets between 300 to 400 patients per season, most of them through word of mouth.
Dentists say the most frequently sort treatment is laser tooth whitening , a 45 minute job that costs approximately Rs 48,000 in Britain and Rs 5,000 in Goa. 
Dr. Anand Colaco says, " the cost factor is very attractive to foreigners, unlike other treatments in the west, dental treatment is not subsidised or covered by insurance so they have to shell out exorbitant amounts. When they come to India they see that dental treatment is not only affordable but also of good quality. We also make an effort to build up a rapport with the patients unlike practitioners in the west."Goa-World http://www.goa-world.com/ Live Konkani Music http://www.live365.com/stations/61664Virtual Mahableshwar http://www.mahableshwar.com/  St. Mary's School - Mt.

[Gulf Goans] TRIBUTE TO OUR BELOVED BISHOP FRANCIS MICALLEF

2005-07-31 Thread Ulysses Menezes






JOHN REBELLO [EMAIL PROTECTED]


TRIBUTE TO OUR BELOVED BISHOP FRANCIS MICALLEF

Our family read your news that His Lordship, Bishop Francis Micallef, retired and a new incumbent will replace him to serve the Vicariate of Kuwait.

We recall when Bishop Micallef, replaced the then out-going Bishop Victor SanMinguel and took over the reigns of the Archdiocese of Kuwait in the year 1982, the year when our second daughter was born in Kuwait. Bishop Francis was well loved by all the members of our family, specially our elder son, who was a pet of the bishop. We missed him after seeing his last during the Iraqi occupation, as he visited our home when he came to Salmiya chapel to celebrate Mass, as most of us could not go to the city cathedral due to fear. One thing we all cherish of the bishop, was that during this last visit he came with the Baptism Certificates of both my daughters who were baptized in Kuwait and really it was of use for us back home.

Since, 1992 we are in Bahrain, and during the surprise visit of Bishop Francis in March, 1993, we were privileged to have him give a teaching to our English Charismatic Prayer Group, when I was in the core-group, to which he obliged and then to be our guest at our home here in Bahrain. 

Just like all of you in Kuwait, we also shall miss this humble, simple person, who worked tirelessly dedicating his service to the Lord and to his flock.

Our prayers are with him and we wish him all the best in his retired life, May God grant him good health in continuing to serve the Lord in His vineyard of love and mercy.


John Rebello,
Manama,
Kingdom of Bahrain.Goa-World http://www.goa-world.com/ Live Konkani Music http://www.live365.com/stations/61664Virtual Mahableshwar http://www.mahableshwar.com/  St. Mary's School - Mt. Abu - Rajasthan - India http://www.abusms.com/

[Gulf Goans] Difference between Condensed Milk and Sweetened Condensed Milk

2005-08-21 Thread Ulysses Menezes





Question:Could you tell me the difference between condensed milk and sweetened condensed milk? Alta Dena has a yogurt that has condensed milk as an ingredient but there is no listing of sugar. Do all condensed milks have sugar added? - Heidi Rouda (10/27/99)Answers:The definition of sweetened condensed milk from Food Lover's Companion by Sharon Tyler Herbst: "A mixture of whole milk and sugar, 40%-45% of which is sugar. This mixture is heated until about 60% of the water evaporates. The resulting condensed mixture is extremely sticky and sweet. Unsweetened condensed milk is referred  to as evaporated milk. Store unopened sweetened condensed milk at room temperature for up to 6 months. Once opened, transfer the unused milk to an airtight container,
 refrigerate and use within 5 days. Sweetened condensed milk is used in baked goods and desserts such as candies, puddings, pies, etc." http://whatscookingamerica.net/Q-A/ConMilk.htmGoa-World http://www.goa-world.com/ Live Konkani Music http://www.live365.com/stations/61664Virtual Mahableshwar http://www.mahableshwar.com/  St. Mary's School - Mt.

[Gulf Goans] Goemchem Prize Award 2005

2005-08-30 Thread Ulysses Menezes






Jose Lourenco's report on the function

This evening I attended the 2005 Goemchem Prize award function. Very interesting evening. A lot of good people, the genial Basilio Monteiro who conducted the event with warmth, Cecil Pinto, the man behind the scenes, Margaret Mascarenhas who moderated the discussion sensitively, Samir Kelekar fresh from his stimulating lecture to the Goa Chamber of Commerce the previous evening and many other people. And then of course the awardee, Andha Shraddha (anti-superstition) activist Mr.Nigalye and the Chief Guest Prof Alito Sequeira. There were less people than the first award function, maybe on account of the heavy rains, but it was quite an intelligent and distinguished crowd.The discussion on unscientific methods turned out quite surreal. To this gathering of diverse people, Mr.Nigalye termed pujas, astrology, intuition, ayurveda to be of dubious value (to put it mildly). The learned Prof Alito Sequeira
 questioned the absoluteness of scientific empiricism, maintaining that what is non-rational also has a place in our lives. This set the stage for an electric tension in the hall to which the audience also contributed. It was great to see different views being expressed. What might have been an average awards event turned out to be a profound philosophical exchange. Margaret questioned the difference between superstition and religious ritual. Samir defended science against Alito’s attack. A learned museum curator spoke of the concept of social God and personal God with Sanskrit quotes. Another gentleman, I think he was a priest, asserted that religion and superstition have always been associated, but gently reminded us that a good religious attitude accepts a force greater than us and surrenders to it while superstition attempts to control and dominate in a negative way. Others agreed that superstition has been used as a weapon of control. Though the convict of the
 evening was superstition, religious beliefs also came under the hammer. Nigalye was charming in his simplicity and provided many light moments. The Gandhian sage , Mr. Gurunath Kelekar exhorted Goans to become citizens rather than mere voters and outlined his NGO’s goals. Ms. Albertina Almeida spoke of modern superstition , questioning the Church’s stance on divorce. No solutions were found to the world’s problems, but it was a truly stimulating evening. Many among the audience, nay the entire audience would probably have loved to debate the issues for another two hours, but time sped by and the event came to a close. Hats off to the Cyber committee members who put this together. It was a celebration of free-thinking and intellectual reflection. Cheers to Dr.Santosh Helekar and his friends !

Letter to Editor in Navhind Times dated August 6th 2005


Full text of Prof. Alito Sequeira's address at the Goenchem Prize Ceremony Allow me to congratulate Mr Nigale the recipient of this year Goenchem Prize. This is I think a special kind of prize. Controlled by persons who live far and wide, the prize is less amenable to the pulls and pressures of the immediate and local. I feel privileged to share my views with you on this occasion, also because the organizers have been more than gracious in inviting me knowing well that I may not share entirely their perspective on issues they espouse. Thank you for your generosity.I did my schooling in a Catholic institution in Goa. There the students who were Hindu or Muslim were as a matter of course referred to as 'Non-catholic' in documents such as the time-table, handbook etc. Much later in life, I have come to learn that to call persons non-catholic is to categories persons by what they are not (an absence) and hence erase and deny
 what they are. Today's topic begins with the term '' Unscientific methods and practices'. Once we have categorised the practices by the absence of science, what legitimacy can we discuss, except to make the rather banal statement that each practice has its own rationality, take it or leave it.It is not incidental that Science and Religion share similar discourses and modes of addressing the other. The Term 'superstition' comes from the long tradition of Western religion (from Cicero) and as defined by St. Thomas is the worship of false gods or the improper worship of true gods. When science began to see itself as substituting religion as the final arbitrator of all knowledge it too burrowed the term 'superstition' for all practices that did not conform to its tenants.What I propose to share with you today is my own muddling efforts of coping with Science, Religion and what those two term as superstition.As an adolescent, struggling to cope with my own
 questions of identify and self confidence I felt rebellious towards the norms and values that came to be from the outside - particularly my family and school. The sixties

White Chocolate Cakefrom Dede Wilson's 'the Wedding Cake Book' *Use a good quality imported white chocolate like Lindt white bar, Bakers or Merkens white.This cake has received rave reviews by many expert cake decorators. (Note: remember, this is the recipe that is supposed to make two six-inch cakes, but they overflow the pans, so I use it to make two 8-inch cakes andthe layers are about 1 1/2 inches high) 8 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped (see*) 2 cups unsifted cake flour 1 tablespoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt 4 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature3/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 large eggs2/3 cup whole milk20 servings 1 hour 20 minutes total time including baking40 mins prepPreheat oven to 350° F-- I bake at
 300°F for 20 minutes. then increase oven temp to 325° For you could use bake-even strips.Prepare pans with cooking spray and parchment.Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler, stirring frequently -- remove from heat before chocolate is completely melted; stir until chocolate is melted and smooth-- cool to room temperature.Meanwhile, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and set aside.Place the butter in the bowl of your mixer, and with the flat paddle, cream butter.Add the sugar gradually and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes -- scrape down the bowl once or twice and beat in the vanilla.Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.Scrape in the melted chocolate and beat until the batter is smooth.Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk in 3 separate batches.Pour into prepared pans.

 Bake about 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick tests clean or cake just begins to pull away from the sides of the pan -- DO NOT overbake.reviewsChef #200820 it tastes really nice it went down a treat — Mar 7, 2005Goa-World http://www.goa-world.com/ Live Konkani Music http://www.live365.com/stations/61664Virtual Mahableshwar http://www.mahableshwar.com/  St. Mary's School - Mt.

 Cell that made garbage aburning issue in the State.After battling at all levels, wehave today a largely ineffective High Court order that preventsour hill from being the official dump site of the entire coastal belt.Now this new initiative is really noteworthy, because it haspeople from across the state and from all walks of life who havedeclared war on garbage.This appeal is from the campaignleaders to join the struggle in whatever small way you can. Our recommendation: *Go for it!*In solidarity with everyone who is battling garbage, especiallythe forces that create it - a consumerist culture and society.Muriel  Mario.--- Everybody!Because of the great response, we are extending this endorsementcampaign for another week and will forward your names to Delhi,where the letter has already been delivered.

Inresponse, villagers all over Goa rose up in protest and so farhave successfully impeded the municipalities of Panjim, Pondaand Mapusa from disposing their voluminous waste on village land. Dumping began along highways (see attached photos) andunder the Panjim Patto Bridge.Subsequently, two petitions, one from the residents in and aroundthe Patto area, and one from local activist Floriano Lobo, regarding the disastrous effects of the state and municipalauthorities' willful disregard of the indiscriminate dumpingwere filed in the Mumbai High Court. They have been convertedinto PILs and are pending hearing. Immediate ConcernsThe Goa

Hello,
 
I have recently come to Dhahran in Saudi from Australia.  I was born 
in Chandor (Salcette) and moved to Australia as a 13 year old in 
1989.  I would like to know if there are any Goan Associations in 
this area or in Al-Kobar.  I am working at King Fahd University of 
Petroleum and Minerals which is next door to Saudi Aramco.  Any 
information would be great.  I have been searching on the net for 
almost 4 hours.  There are plenty of Goans in Bahrain and Qatar but I 
haven't come across any here.  There was a cultural and sports day 
held in 2004 in Al-Kobar, would you be kind enough to furnish me any 
information on this?
 
My alternative email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
Thanks

Therapy Procedure 
1Early morning, after you get up from bed, (without even brushing your teeth) drink 1.5 liters of water i.e., 5 to 6 glasses. Let us all know that ancient Indians termed this therapy as "Usha Paana Chikitsa" . You may wash your face thereafter. 
2Here it is very essential to note that nothing else, neither drinks nor solid food of any sort should be taken within 1 hour before and after drinking these 1.5 liters of water. 
3It is also to be strictly observed that no alcoholic drinks should be taken the previous night. 
4If required, boiled and filtered water may be used for this purpose. 
5It is difficult to drink 1.5 liters of water at one time, but you will get used to it gradually. 
6Initially, while practicing you may drink four glasses first and to balance two glasses after a gap of two minutes. 
7You may find the necessity to urinate 2 to 3 times within an hour, but it will become normal after quite some time. 
 
By Research and Experience 
1The following diseases are observed to be cured with this therapy within the indicated days as below: 
a) Constipation - 1 day 
b)  Acidity- 2 days 
c)  Diabetes   - 7 days 
d)  Cancer- 4 weeks 
e) Pulmonary TB   - 3 months 
f)  BP  Hypertension- 4 weeks 

Note: 
It is advised that persons suffering from Arthritis or Rheumatism should practice this therapy thrice a day, i.e. morning, midday and night, 1 hour before meals for one week; and twice a day subsequently until the disease disappears. 
 
How Does Pure Water Act? 
1) Consuming ordinary drinking water by the right method purifies human body. It renders the colon more effective by forming new fresh blood, known in medical terms as " Haematopaises". That the mucous folds of the colon and intestines are activated by this method is an undisputed fact, just as the theory that the mucous fold produces new fresh blood. 
2)If the colon is cleansed then the nutrients of the food taken several times a day will be absorbed and by the action of the mucous folds they are turned into fresh blood. The blood is all-important in curing ailments and restoring health and for this water should be consumed in a regular pattern. 
 Life is Short, Just go for it

*~*~*Sarah*~*~*

My name is SarahI am but three,My eyes are swollen I cannot
 see,I must be stupidI must be bad,What else could have made My daddy so mad?I wish I were betterI wish I weren't ugly, Then maybe my mommy Would still want to hug me. I can't speak at all I can't do a wrong Or else I'm locked
 up All the day long. When I awake I'm all alone The house is dark My folks aren't home. When my mommy does comeI'll try and be nice,So maybe I'll get just One whipping tonight.Don't make a sound!I just heard a car My daddy is backFrom Charlie's Bar.I hear him curseMy name he callsI press myselfAgainst the wall.I try and hideFrom his evil
 eyesI'm so afraid nowI'm starting to cry.He finds me weepingHe shouts ugly words,He says its my faultThat he suffers at work. He slaps me and hits meAnd yells at me more,I finally get free And I run for the door.He's already locked itAnd I start to bawl,He takes me and throws meAgainst the hard wall. I fall to the floorWith my bones nearly broken,And my daddy continuesWith more bad words spoken."I'm sorry!", I scream But its now much too lateHis face has been twistedInto unimaginable hate.The hurt and the painAgain and againOh please God, have mercy!
 Oh please let it end!And he finally stopsAnd heads for the door,While I lay there motionlessSprawled on the floor.My name is SarahAnd I am but three,Tonight my daddy Murdered me. There are thousands of kids out there just like Sarah. And you can help. Sickens me to my soul, and if you just read this anddon't pass it on, I pray for your forgiveness, cause you would have to be one heartless person to not beeffected by this e-mail. And because you are effected, do something about it!! So all I am asking you to do, is take some time to send this on and acknowledge that this stuff does happen, and that people like her daddo live in our society, and pray for child abuse to wither out and die, but also pray for the safety ofour youth.Please pass this poem on as a blue ribbon againstchild abuse, because as crazy as it might sound, itmight just indirectly change a life.

REFLECTION - JESUS' CALLJesuscalledMatthewwhilehewasathis work,andhe lefteverything and followed the Lord.In this he was no different from
the other disciples, but his case was rather more surprising. WhileJesus' first disciples were ordinary fishermen, Matthew belonged toagroupthatwasshunned by devout people.Tax collectors wereunpopular because they worked for the Romans andtended to use the
opportunity to linetheirown pockets. Even honest tax collectorsare never the most popular people in society, and we have no reasonto think that Matthew was better than most of his colleagues.The Pharisees saw in Matthew someone to condemn, rather than someone
inneedofhelp.They were more concerned with preserving theirownpuritythanwithhelpingthosemostin need of spiritualnourishment;butJesussawinMatthewa human being who couldrepent and follow Him.Jesus calls us where we are, whoever we are
and whatever we do.We do nothave to be virtuous before He callsus; on the contrary, itisbecause we are sinners that we need toturn to Him for help.It isjust as well for all of us that Jesuscame intotheworld to save sinners, and loves us the same way no
matter how many sins we have committed.Jesus gave the perfect answer to the Pharisees.We cannot disagreethatitisthe sickwho most need a doctor, the sinful who mostneed Jesus Christ.Yet we do not always live as if this were true.
Christians can easily end up thinking morelike the Pharisees thanChrist,regardingthemselvesasmorerighteous than others andonly spendingtime with those who are (at least outwardly) uprightand religious.
Wouldwehavebeen among those who wondered why Jesus spent timewith such sinful people?Inour own society there are many peoplewho are condemned and marginalized.Dowe reachout tothem and
seek to bringthemGod'slove?Do we gobeyond our comfortablecircle of friends andfellowChristians, andlook forthose whomost need the healing that only Jesus can bring? Letusask theLordinHiscalltous to help us recognize our own sinfulness
andneedforforgiveness,andextendHismercyto all thoseenslaved by sin, so that we can then rejoice with themin the factthat Jesus came into this world to save sinners.

= REFLECTION - OUR JUDGEMENTS AND GOD'S MERCY=What does it mean to be merciful as God is merciful? We know that
God's mercy is infinite and unfailing. We have done nothing todeserve mercy, yet He is willing to show it to us. We can rejoice that this is so, for if God judged us as we deserved we would allbe punished. He showed His great mercy in sending His Son to die
for us on the Cross so that we might be saved and reconciled toHim. However often we disobey and ignore Him, He does not abandonus but pursues us with loving tenderness; and when we turn back toHim in repentance, He receives us with joy and remembers our sin
no more. This is far from how we often are in our dealings with others. Itis a human tendency to judge others harshly, and even to enjoycriticizing them and analysing their faults. We can all find
ourselves doing this almost without being aware of it. The mediaoften condemns people, and we all get caught up in it, to somedegree or other. Yet as Christians we should remember that we donot know the hearts of others, or the full circumstances of their 
actions. This does not mean we shouln't condemn evil, but weshould reserve judgement on those who carry it out. We are verygood at making excuses for our own misdeeds, but at times tooquick to judge others when they do similar things. Only God can
know what is in a person's heart, and only God has the right tojudge anyone.Jesus warns us that if we judge others harshly we will be harshlyjudged ourselves. How can we expect to receive forgiveness if we
are not forgiving to others? It may not be easy for us, but as wecome to know God's mercy towards us we are more likely to be merciful to others. When we realize how much we have been forgiven,and how little we deserve it, our hearts are softened and we become
more compasssionate. Let us pray for Jesus to give us mercifulhearts like His.Lord Jesus, we are often quick to condemn others, yet we expectto be forgiven for our own sins. Grant us the humility to know how
much we have been forgiven, and to remember that we have no rightto judge others.=::: Q U I C K - L I N K S :

[Gulf Goans] WATER THERAPY- THIS IS TOO GOOD TO MISS OUT ON, 5000 YRS OF AYURVEDA

2005-11-20 Thread Ulysses Menezes



  Please use this for good health. Very simple to use  excellent results.Introduction   Drink six (6) glasses of water (1.5 liters) everyday and avoid medicine, tablets, injections, diagnosis, doctor fees, etc.   You can never believe before practicing.List of Diseases That Can Be Cured By Water Therapy   1Blood Pressure / Hypertension   2Anemia (Blood Shortage)   3Rheumatism (Pain in joints / muscles)   4General Paralysis   5Obesity   6Arthritis   7Sinusitis   8Tachycardia   9Giddiness   10Cough   11Leukemia   12Asthma   13Bronchitis   14Pulmonary Tuberculosis   15Meningitis   16Kidney Stones 17Hyper Acidity 18Dysentery   19Gastroenteritis   20Uterus Cancer   21Rectal Piodapse   22Constipation   23Hostorthobics   24Diabetes   25Eye Diseases   26Ophthalmic Hemorrhage  Opthalmia (Reddisheye)   27Irregular Menstruation   28Breast Cancer   29Laryngitis   30Headache   31Leukemia   32   Urogenital Diseases  Therapy Procedure   1Early morning, after you get up from bed, (without even brushing your teeth) drink 1.5 liters of
 water i.e., 5 to 6 glasses. Let us all know that ancient Indians termed this therapy as "Usha Paana Chikitsa" . You may wash your face thereafter.   2Here it is very essential to note that nothing else, neither drinks nor solid food of any sort should be taken within 1 hour before and after drinking these 1.5 liters of water.   3It is also to be strictly observed that no alcoholic drinks should be taken the previous night.   4If required, boiled and filtered water may be used for this purpose.   5It is difficult to drink 1.5 liters of water at one time, but you will get used to it gradually.   6Initially, while practicing you may drink four glasses first and to balance two glasses after a gap of two
 minutes.   7You may find the necessity to urinate 2 to 3 times within an hour, but it will become normal after quite some time.  By Research and Experience   1The following diseases are observed to be cured with this therapy within the indicated days as below:   a) Constipation - 1 day   b)  Acidity- 2 days   c)
  Diabetes   - 7 days   d)  Cancer- 4 weeks   e) Pulmonary TB   - 3 months   f)  BP  Hypertension- 4 weeks Note:   It is advised that persons suffering from Arthritis or Rheumatism should practice this therapy thrice a day, i.e. morning, midday and night, 1 hour before meals for one week; and twice a day subsequently until the disease disappears.  How Does Pure Water Act?   1) Consuming ordinary drinking water by the right method purifies human body. It renders the colon more effective by forming new fresh blood, known in medical terms as " Haematopaises". That the mucous folds of the colon and intestines are activated by this method is an undisputed fact, just as the theory that the mucous fold produces new fresh blood.   2)If the colon is cleansed then the nutrients of the food taken several times a day will be absorbed and by the action of the mucous folds they are turned into fresh blood. The blood is all-important in curing ailments and restoring health and for this water should be consumed in a regular pattern.Life is Short, Just go for it   Please spread this message to your friends, relatives and neighbors. It is a great service to the cause of humanity. -- Goa-Worldhttp://www.goa-world.comMahableshwarhttp://www.mahableshwar.comSt. Mary's High School - Mt Abu, Rajasthan Indiahttp://www.abusms.com Goa-World http://www.goa-world.com/ Live Konkani Music http://www.live365.com/stations/61664Virtual Mahableshwar http://www.mahableshwar.com/  St. Mary's School - Mt.

 LITURGICAL CELEBRATIONS DURING THE WEEK   NOV 30, 2005 - St. Andrew, Apostle
 DEC 03, 2005 - St. Francis Xavier, Priest REFLECTION - BE PREPARED!
Maranatha! Our Lord, come! (1 Cor. 16:22)As we begin a new liturgical year, the Church asks us: 'Are weready? Are you prepared to receive the Lord and go with Him whenHe comes again? Advent is a time when the Lord wishes to make our 
hearts ready.Throughout all the changes and the turmoil of their history, God'speople longed for God to establish His kingdom of justice andpeace in their midst, but so often they were not ready. Human sin
and hardness of heart prevented God from establishing His kingdom among them. What God wanted to do for His people, He could not do- their hearts were not prepared. If they were to allow God toreign in their hearts, they would need to repent and change. When
God would finally establish His kingdom it would be a time ofjudgment and separation. Those who were ready would enter thekingdom; those who were not ready would be excluded.Jesus proclaimed the Good News and inaugurated God's kingdom. 'The
time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand (Mark 1:14).God was establishing His kingdom in the person of His Son. It wasa time of judgment and separation on the basis of belief in andacceptance of Jesus. None the less, we know that God's kingdom
will not be fully established until the Lord comes again at theend of time. When He does return - and we know neither the day northe hour - then again it will be a time of judgment and separationfor all. Those who are prepared will go with the Lord to be with
Him forever. Those who are not ready and prepared will be excluded.At this season of Advent, God wishes to renew, refresh andreinvigorate us. He is pouring out His grace upon His Church sothat our hearts can be changed and made ready. He is inviting us to
come closer to Him and grow in our relationship with Him. The Lordwill do this for us as we come to Him with humble and needy hearts,confident that His grace and power can change us.===: Q U I C K - L I N K S ::

[Gulf Goans] Fwd: A little story From Sr. Ethel

2005-11-27 Thread Ulysses Menezes
Sister Ethel Pereira from Goa now in Italy. A little story we can learn from.

Cheers !
Uly

-- Forwarded message --
From: Ethel Pereira [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Nov 27, 2005 1:10 PM
Subject: A little story
To: Ulysses Menezes [EMAIL PROTECTED]


A little story to share with you - share it with others if you can -
if not just enjoy


A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed
each morning by eight  o'clock, with his hair fashionably coifed and
shaved perfectly applied, even though he is legally blind, moved to a
nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making
the move necessary. After many  hours of waiting patiently in the
lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was
ready.
As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual
description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had
been hung on his window.
I love it, he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having
just been presented with a new puppy.
Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait.
That doesn't have anything to do with it, he  replied.
Happiness is something you decide on ahead of  time. Whether I like
my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ...
it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it  It's a
decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can
spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts
of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for
the ones that do.
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new
day and all the happy memories I've stored away.  Just for this time
in my life.
Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in.
So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the
bank account of  memories!. Thank you for your part in filling my
Memory bank. I am still  depositing. Remember the five simple rules
to  be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free  your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

Ethel

- On December 8, 2005, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Masses at the Cathedral will be at

 REFLECTION - ADVENT, THE COMING-Tradition teaches us that we enjoy three comings of Christ: thefirst, in the Incarnation, the second His return in glory and the
third into each person's heart. The first coming, the Incarnation,is the coming of God-Man into time and space. We give thanks to Godas we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus our Savior. Thesecond, we in faith, pray for, long for and groan for Jesus' coming
again. The third, the coming of Jesus into our hearts, we can knowand experience this Advent season. The Incarnation, the secondcoming and inviting Jesus into our hearts are key interventions ofGod. We are charged with cultivating an interior disposition which
desires to grow close to God. This call can find a new and exciting_expression_ during the season of Advent and Christmastide. Thecommercial noise is never so loud than at Christmas. It is as if weenter into a kind of silly season - in many senses the impulse to
celebrate, buy gifts, exchange presents, enjoy our families andparty even, is integral to our celebration of Jesus' birth.However, the Holy Spirit invites us all to retreat from thisactivity for a while, be still, calm our minds and lift up our
hearts to contemplate the mystery of God who humbled Himself andwas born as one of us. 'The Son of God worked with human hands; Hethought with a human mind. He acted with a human will, and with ahuman heart He loved. Born of the Virgin Mary, He has truly been
made one of us, like to us in all things except sin' (Gaudium etspes, 22).Our minds are broadened, nourished and expanded as we encounterthrough study the beauty, complexity and glory of the created
world. The great mystics and saints of history point to how muchthere is to 'wonder' and 'marvel' at in pondering salvationhistory. Our hearts and spirits are broadened, nourished andexpanded as we immerse ourselves in the sublime truths of faith.
Advent and Christmastide are wonderful moments in the Church'scalendar to renew our understanding of our faith, to enter moredeeply into the mystery which is Christ and we are refresend,encouraged and comforted by the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit.=:: Q U I C K - L I N K S ::=

[Gulf Goans] Etznab's Christmas Cake

2005-12-05 Thread Ulysses Menezes
Etznab's Christmas Cake
This is a fruity and nutty cake that will end your negative
associations of fruit cake. It may seem like there are a lot of
ingredients but it is any easy recipe. This fruit cake uses mostly
dried fruit, such as the stuff in trail mix packages as opposed to the
multi colored preservative laden stuff commonly sold during the
holiday season.

http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/7035/cake.html




Sift the following dry ingredients:

1 ¼ cup flour
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp cinnamon
¾ tsp baking powder
½ tbsp ground ginger
1 tbsp instant coffee, if its in granules grind it to a powder

Cream the following:
½ cup packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 stick of butter (¼ pound)
½ cup of ONE of the following: milk, rum, or chocolate liquor
 Mix fruit and nuts:
¾ cups of rinsed raisins both golden and black
¼ cup dried cranberries (Ocean Spray sells them under the name Craisins)
½ cup diced dates
½ cup your favorite assorted candied/dried fruit in small pieces
1 cup pecans or walnut pieces
1 tbsp grated fresh lemon peel

Instructions:
Fold the flour mixture into the creamed mixture. Add fruit. Mix
everything. Pour into a lightly greased pan. The batter rises quite a
bit, so fill the pan only 2/3 full. Bake at 325 degrees until golden
brown. Test for doneness with a toothpick. Remove cake from oven when
toothpick comes out clean. Remember, you are testing the batter, not
any fruit that may be sticking to the toothpick. Cool. Invert. Prick
all over with toothpick. Sprinkle with plain rum or a sugar glaze.
Will keep about two weeks in an airtight container.


Approximate baking times are:

For small cupcakes 25 minutes

For mini cakes about 4 inches in diameter 40 minutes (Walmart sells
very nice mini bunt pans)

If you are using one large bunt pan or square pan bake in a water bath
for about 90 minutes. If you skip the water bath, the outside of the
cake will brown before the center is cooked thoroughly. To bake in a
water bath, place the pan with the batter in a larger pan, similar in
fashion to a dish you place under a flowerpot. Add water to the
outside pan.

I realize I gave you a very wide range for baking time. It depends on
how soft you like the cake, how much filling you use, how accurate
your oven is, the color of your pan and probably the alignment of the
planets as well.



candied fruit peels
You could always buy this in the store or make it according to your
own family recipe. The following is how I always make candied fruit
peels. Take the full peel, not just the outer colored part (zest) of
oranges, lemons, and/or grapefruit. Soak it in salt water for three
days, rinsing and replacing the salt water once per day. Squeeze out
salt water and rinse thoroughly. Cut into strips or chunks. Add white
granulated sugar and cook over medium heat.

[Gulf Goans] Vínarterta (Icelandic layer cake) - Christmas Cake

2005-12-05 Thread Ulysses Menezes
http://etherwork.net/ejmtph/recipes/vineterte.html

Vínarterta (Icelandic layer cake)

for Christmas and/or weddings - make at least 4 weeks in advance of
event The name translates literally as Vienna cake. (Read more about
the origins of Vínarterta or go directly to the recipe.)

This recipe has been made in late Novembers to be consumed at
Christmas time by my family for as long as I can remember. We adore
this cake. When we were little, rationing was strictly imposed on us
or we would have eaten it all in a couple of days.

A family friend who was an Icelandic immigrant (we called her Aunt
Emma) brought the cake each Christmas to my father's house when he
was still living with his parents. Then after he and my mother were
first married, the cake was delivered to them for Christmas. But the
recipe was thought to be lost when Aunt Emma's sister, who made the
cake, passed away. My mother found a likely looking recipe a couple of
years later in one of the Winnipeg daily newspapers and everyone was
thrilled that it was exactly the same cake. So the tradition
continues. My mother still makes the cake (and so do my sisters and I)
to have at our own homes and to give away as presents.

It was served at two of our weddings and I have a vivid recollection
of being at my younger sister's wedding reception. One of my nieces,
then 5, was demolishing, piece by piece, the plate of cut up
vínarterta and had just stuffed a whole piece of cake into her
seemingly little mouth. With cheeks bulging and hand delicately held
in front of her mouth, she managed to garble out ecstatically, I love
this cake


The Recipe
for one 9 inch round cake of 5 layers; make at least 4 weeks in
advance of eating
Ingredients
Filling:
1 lb. pitted prunes
cold water
¾ c. regular sugar
½ c. cooking liquid
1 Tbsp. cinnamon (yes, that really is a tablespoon)
1 Tbsp. vanilla (yes, that really is a tablespoon)

Layers:
wax paper
cake tins (9 inch round)
1 c. salted butter (good quality)
1½ c. fruit sugar (super fine)
2 eggs
4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cardamom (available in India town)
3 Tbsp cream
1 Tbsp. almond extract

Preparation
Filling: Cut each prune in half to check for pits. Don't be tempted to
leave this step out. Put prunes into a pot and cover with cold water.
Bring to a boil then simmer 10-15 minutes (til tender) Watch for
burning!


Drain and reserve liquid.


Put prunes into food chopper and purée.


Return prunes to pot. Add sugar, cooking liquid and cinnamon. Bring to
a boil and cook, stirring constantly until thick. Again, watch for
burning! (Trust me, I know) When the prunes resemble molten lava
and allow you to see the bottom of the pot for a longer bit of time
after a stir, they're probably ready.


Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Cool.


Layers: Using the outside of one of the cake tins, trace 9 inch circle
onto wax paper. Cut out 5 circles. Set aside.


Cream butter and sugar together. Beat in eggs one at a time.


Into a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and cardamom.
(If you have purchased whole cardamom pods, remove the outer husk and
grind the seeds in a coffee grinder. Green cardamom pods are
preferable to white or brown.)


Add a small amount of dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Mix in cream
and almond extract. Mix in rest of flour. (Let your hands be your
friends.)


Divide the dough into 5 equal parts. Put a wax paper round into each
of the two 9 inch cake tins. Press one ball each onto wax papered 9
inch cake tins. Make sure they are even and flat. Bake 2 at a time at
375F (don't try to do more than 2! The cooking time goes way off and
leads to disaster) until each is very delicate gold on the edge.
(10-12 minutes)


Let each layer cool separately. Put cooled layers together with prune
filling (did you remember to put in the vanilla?) evenly distributed
in four parts. There is no prune filling on top layer.


Assembly: Put cooled layers together with prune filling (did you
remember to put in the vanilla?) evenly distributed in four parts.
There is no prune filling on top layer.


Wrap tightly in plastic then again in foil and in another plastic bag
or cake tin. Store in a cooler part of the kitchen (not the fridge)
for about three to eight weeks before serving. (The cake can be frozen
but it will not cure in the freezer.) When the cake is served, cut it
in small squares like Christmas cake. The cream coloured layers
contrasting with the prune filling are quite stunning on the serving
plate.
Please note that we never ice this cake (it would seem to us like
gilding the lily) not even for weddings.
