Paulo Colaco Dias wrote thus to Fred Noronha:<Yours is definitely a vivid mind Fred>
==== Earlier in the day, wrt the meaning of the word "Viva" in FIFA:Viva Portugal, Frederick "FN" Noronha wrote thus .... <Technically yes. But the connotation varied. Forty years back, few people said the term referring to the World Cup. But, I guess, any excuse to return to Lusostalgia is good enough if that's your cup of tea> jc's input.......> Dear Paulo, I don't know about the word "vivid" wrt FN's mind. It is almost always impossible to read someone else's mind....for me at least. I do however submit that with all this chatter about 'Lusostalgia', Frederico Noronha's words come across as distinctly Lusophobic. It might be a facade though. Just might be. "40 years back" (as Frederico aka Rico notes), I believe that Viva Portugal (in Goa) was definitely in reference to the Football World Cup - Unless Frederico wishes to provide us info that it was NOT so ..."40 years back" i.e. in 1966. Now ...earlier than that....Frederico might be right. Viva Portugal (in Goa) might have had a connotation of Viva Salazar or Viva Portugal the colonial power in Goa. That could probably explain how our dear Frederico got placed in Brazil; Just could. And all this ostensibly Lusophobic blah blah might just be a facade a la some of the writings of Mario Sa Cabral et al. Hey ...Chougulos became Chowgule, so why not Frederico become Frederick ... or his writings not Lusophobic? jc But, I guess, any excuse to return to Lusophobia is good enough if that's Frederico's cup of tea === ps: the following are yet unwithdrawn LIES from LIARS: 1. Fred Noronha's yet unwithdrawn LIE when asked to publicly identify the GUYS who HE(Fred Noronha) says " propound this colonialism-started-in-1961 theory" Fred Noronha wrote on GoaNet May 31 2006: <Among a handful of others, mainly those Colaco types. Bernardo, Paulo and Jose, for instance. > 2. Cornel da Costa's yet unwithdrawn LIE Cornel da Costa wrote June 14 2006 on GoaNet that Jose claimed "that Goa needed Portugal to protect it from fellow Indians" please visit "NEW" on The Goan Forum at http://www.colaco.net _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
