Decision buoys crew of St. Tropez
Back pay, plane tickets home on way
By Rafael A. Olmeda
Staff Writer
Posted June 11 2005
For more than two weeks, "tomorrow" was a broken promise to the crew of
the St. Tropez.
It was the day they would learn their fate. It was the day they would find
out if they would get paid. It was the day they would find out when they
could go home.
Fifteen days passed before tomorrow finally arrived.
The 156 workers on the bankrupt gambling ship, which has idled at Port
Everglades since May 26, were told Friday they'll get plane tickets home
by the middle of next week. They were also told they'll get their back pay
for the month of May, but were not sure exactly when that would happen.
The developments were shaped at a bankruptcy hearing Friday in West Palm
Beach....
Before Friday's bankruptcy hearing, several members of the crew were
nearly despondent.
"They keep telling us, `Tomorrow you'll know'," said Rajesh Pednekar, 34.
"Tomorrow never comes."
Pednekar said he borrowed $1,000 from a bank so that he could travel to
Fort Lauderdale from Goa, India, to work on the St. Tropez.
His expected a monthly salary of $700 would have been enough to make loan
payments and support his wife and 2-year-old son back home, he said. He
planned to work as a cook on the ship for 10 months, and his first day on
the job was May 26, the day the St. Tropez ceased operations.
Now, he'll be headed back to India to face the bills with a fraction of a
paycheck and no job.
"They hired us after they filed for bankruptcy," said Pednekar, standing
near Berth 24 in Port Everglades, where the ship is docked. "If I had
known that, I wouldn't have taken this job. They shouldn't have done
that."
Like many on the crew, Pednekar spent the last two weeks wandering around
the ship, keeping busy by performing the tasks he would have performed
anyway, cooking for the crew instead of passengers.

Iran's once restive youth is more interested in making money than in
politics. An intimate look at how the regime bought off a generation.,,,
Ten years ago, the cultural and material poverty of life in Iran would

Made In India.
Time was, those three little words on an apparel tag could bring a
dress down a few pegs. The cuts were dumpy, the colors drab and the
prints indeterminate.
But this summer, the whole gauze thing is getting a new rep in the
fashion industry. The word is out: India pops!
''Even Nicky Hilton's new line, Chick, just featured a whole line of
Indian skirts,'' said Barry Rosenthal, owner of the Hollywood boutique,
Unique Wear, where about 30 percent of the merchandise today is from
India, as opposed to the usual 5 percent.
``It's reached a crescendo.''
From department stores to chichi boutiques to mall fixtures like Old
Navy and The Gap, everyone wants to sell you tunics or circle skirts
that make you look like you just got back from Goa....

Several friends of mine have R2Ied in the last two years, and the feedback
I am getting is that the wives are not very happy living in India. That is
a mild statement. The actual words I heard, "they hate it"! They have all
strong reasons to live in India and they know all the positives and
negatives. Bangalore becoming unliveable due to traffic and congestion
is one reason. But I am hearing the same from a friend in Pune. Things
seem to be changing as years go by.

I do not know. My brother returned to India after 6 years in UK to India
(Goa). He loves it. He has actually bought 400 sq meter of land near
dabolim airport, on which he intends to build a house. Even from India he
says living in india is better everytime I talk to him. He has completed
one and a half years.

1595: Netherlands: Cornelis and Frederick de Houtman return to Amsterdam
from their map-thieving visit to Portugal just as adventurer Jan Huyghen
van Linschoten, who had been some 14 years in the Portuguese East,
published on his travels, partly basing on the work of a cosmographer
for the Spanish Crown, Luis Teixeira. A group of Amsterdam merchants are
willing to form a consortium to trade with the East Indies. In spring
1595 they sent four ships under Cornelis de Houtman about Cape of Good
Hope, to Goa, then the Indonesian Islands, returning in mid-1597. Other
companies formed and other Dutch voyages followed.

Since I came to the US 25 years ago, I've yet to
see an Indian restaurant with the obligatory (at least
in the UK) onion bhaji on the menu.
Not to mention bombay duck.
Anyone know if these items are available.

Subject: Re: Onion Bhaji in East Bay/SF?
Note that Onion Bhaji (the short 'a') and Onion Bhaaji
are two different items. The latter is very popular in
in western India (Goa & Maharashtra). In this dish,
the onion is treated as the main vegetable. It is
chopped long, and to it are added green chillies,
tomatoes, cumin and other spices. The thick
mixture is partly sauteed and partly stewed. It
is typically eaten with bread.
Warm regards,
r
ps: In Google type the keywords "onion bhaji" or "kanda bhaji."
