IN TODAY'S EZINE: So, the results are out. It's 21-18 favouring Congress and
allies in the Goa assembly. Will the Congress and its partymen learn from
their mistakes? Can the people depend on them to deliver governance? Can the
party tame over-ambition and selfishness? Of xapotam and xapoters... details
of a fascinating new book related to Indo-Portuguese and Portuguese colonial
history... a recipe from Rajasthan... a new Goanet poll... listings of who

Independent MLA Filipe Neri Rodrigues was disqualified
by Speaker Vishwas Satarkar, and the matter lies in court.
Police recently (reluctantly?) announced that the papers
on the basis of which he was disqualified, showing that
he had joined the BJP, were forged.
High Court has also disqualified two BJP MLAs, and given
them a month to appeal. There has been some debate
over whether they have a right to vote.
o CLP meet Monday to elect leader, Cong to meet Gov later (Digitalgoa.com)
o Parrikar: accept defeat, will seat in opposition (Digitalgoa.com)
o BJP to be an 'effective opposition' says Parrikar (Digitalgoa.com)
o Sunaparant quotes Wilfred de Souza saying: If Mickky and Nirmala
win, I'm the CM. (Sunaparant)
o Goa tourism director Elvis Gomes suspended in 'River Princess'
case. He was in overall charge of the tendering process for
removing the vessel lying grounded off the Candolim-Sinquerim
beach for almost five years. (NT)
o Goa University Registrar Jayant Budkule tenders his resignation.(NT)
He was an appointee of the Parrikar government, but the media reports
give no reason other than saying he wanted to "rejoin the teaching
profession". (NT)
SO WHAT'S THE TRUTH? Digitalgoa.com says the children's
cell of the Goa Police on Saturday evening raided house
of chief election officer Rajiv Yaduvanshi in connection
with a complaint of employing a minor maid. Navhind Times
reports: "On receiving an anonymous call information that
a child has been employed as a domestic servant, the member
of the justice juvenile board and director of NES-Childline
Ms P Serrao inspected the residence of secretary Rajiv
Yaduvanshi and found it was a hoax call." Political message
at result time to a politics-tainted bureaucracy?
MINERAL FOUNDATION OF GOA gives small adverts in the
newspapers on World Environment Day. Deeds, not words?
Or a case of few words, few deeds?
AN "AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS" is calling for people to
"work from home, phone or via the Internet". Wayne
Levi http://www.sacktheboss.com -- after the scams
Goa has been seeing, some might be skeptical.

SIGN OF THE TIME? POOR HEALTHCARE HERE? An advert in the Goa newspapers
reads, "The most preferred heart-care destination in Goa is Wockhardt Heart
Hospital, Bangalore." It says it is soon launching a new 350-bed super
speciality hospital offering services in cardiology/cardiac surgery,
orthopedics, neurology/neurosurgery and women's health at Bangalore.

QUOTE: Mine-owner Dattaraj Salgaocar pays tribute to
businessman and industrialist late Pascoal Menezes:
"Prior to Liberation, the economy of Goa was essentially
trade-oriented relying entirely on the imported
consumer goods to meet domestic demand in Goa. Late
Mr Pascoal Menezes was older to my father V M Salgaocar
by six years. Both being in the trading business, they
became close friends. For both men, the relationship
was one of opposites attracting each other, which
went beyond the exigencies of business; they genuinely
liked each other and it was not long before my late father
was invited to become part of a select group which met once
a week, and called itself, with quiet discretion, the
Sunday Club, at which the members of the club, who
represented a cross-section of the trading community, met
regularly to discuss the opportunities and challenges
that the trade faced, the tumult and scheming, trials
and failures, hard strife, when the Goan trade
scenario witnessed the golden era and when men's
honour was the only currency worth the name."
From Goan Observer, June 4-10, 2005.

- Yes, just interested in the results
- No, I'm not interested
- There's a by-election in Goa?
Feel free to go and cast your vote at :
http://www.goanet.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=NS-Polls&file=index&pollID=11
---------------------------------------------------------------------
FROM HERE AND THERE
---------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW MAILING LIST: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GoenchimXapotam/
Description from its founder Dr Santosh Helecar of Houston (also known as
Pandurang Fernandes of the Republic of Chimbel): This is a forum for all
outspoken Goans and Goaphiles who want to happily engage in heated debates
on an unlimited and unrestricted assortment of controversial subjects.
He explains further: "From what I know, in Chimolchi/Ponnjechi
Konknni "xapotam" ... refers to things said in
argumentative/combative discourse by people who may or may not know
what they are talking about. A xapoti or xapoterr (in Sashti, I
believe it is xapotcar) is a man who is self-assertive and
opinionated. The word is used invariably in a derogatory sense. But
in the Goa of my youth even justified assertiveness i.e. speaking
out with reason or proper justification, was regarded as a negative
quality. Children and students who asked questions were looked down
upon as a rule by their peers and grown-ups. I can even remember
folks calling genuinely knowledgeable and enlightened individuals
xapoterr for expressing their views in a forthright manner."
"Therefore, if you have not guessed it by now, given my rebellious
nature, the reason for calling this forum Goenchim Xapotam is to
rebel against these derisive connotations of "xapotam", and to wrest
from Goa of yesteryears an entirely neutral meaning for it."
DON'T WORK TO DESTROY OTHERS: Dr Joaquim DeSouza writes in with a
Tiscali.Italy address: "Frankly lets stop behaving like we Goans seem to be
doing normally which is destroy other Goans. Why can we not become as other
communities where we are proud to see fellow Goans succeed? My sincere
personal suggestion to fellow Goans is why can we not all as Goans assist
fellow Goans top succeed, as other societies are doing this with proven
responses, while we are trying to drag those who have succeeded! And may I
add, with no help from most of us."
BADAL MALICK OF THE WORLD BANK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes int o say that
the World Bank's Water and Sanitation Program -- South Asia has been
"supporting the PWD, Goa in a series of reforms to improve the quality of
water and sanitation services". He says ne of the central aspects of this
reform includes strengthening mechanisms for public accountability and
direct consumer-provider engagement, especially for the poor.
Badal will be in Goa in the coming week "at the request of the PWD
to review the existing systems to redress citizen's grievances
(particularly a helpline that was introduced a few months ago)."
Based on this assessment, WSP-SA has been asked to recommend options
to implement an "improved and efficient" complaint management
system. This should include broader approaches for greater civic
engagement in water and sanitation service delivery in Goa, says
Badal. You can send in your feedback. The loss of Goa's traditional
water system, and its replacement by a inefficient, costly and
corruption-prone centralised system, is perhaps an issue for debate.

CULINARY CORNER * From Daisy Rodrigues, Calif. Feedback [EMAIL PROTECTED]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The cuisine of Rajasthan is a product of its geographical, historical and
cultural background, it has its own unique flavor and the simplest and the
most basic of ingredients go into the preparation of many of its dishes.
This popular meat kebab from Rajasthan is quick and easy to prepare and full
of flavor. Maas Ka Sula
Boneless meat cut into strips (about 500 grams)
Juice of 2 limes
2 tsp. ginger-garlic paste
Salt to taste
1 tbsp raw papaya paste
1 tbsp. chili powder
Yogurt or curd- 200gm (strain in cloth overnight-throw out the
liquid)
1/3 cup of caramelized or browned onion paste
1 tbsp. desiccated coconut
Pure ghee for basting
Skewers placed in water to soak
Rub the meat with limejuice, half of the ginger/garlic paste, salt and raw
papaya paste. Let it rest for about 15 minutes. Beat the curd/yogurt until
smooth. Mix with the remaining ginger/garlic paste, chili powder, brown
onion paste, desiccated coconut and oil, marinate the meat in it for about 4
to 5 hours or preferably overnight.
Take each strip of meat, pierce and place on the skewers. Baste with pure
ghee and cook over hot coals or in a tandoor. The kebabs may be grilled in
an oven. But I was told that coals give best results. Serve hot with
shredded onions, lime wedges and green chili.
