[Goanet]Konkan Daiz Yatra - A Spectacular Dance Ballet
## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## Konkan Daiz Yatra A Spectacular Dance Ballet The legend Saraswati arose and thronged into the streets of Mumbai and exulted through its waves into the prestigious Shannmukhanand hall on 23rd October 2004 for Konkan Daiz Yatra. All the streets from Virar, Vasai, Miraroad, Borivli, Malad, Andheri, Jerimeri, Sakinaka, Vakola, Bandra, Dadar, Byculla, Colaba, Wadala, Mulund, Ghatkoper, Kanjurmarg, Thane, New Bombay led to King Circle towards a glorious new Yatra. It was infact a mammoth crowd of Saraswati gathered at one place in the name of Konkani forgetting the cast, creed, dialects and geographical differences. It was the moment of immense joy, moment of belonging, moment of unity and the moment of creation of history with 3000 Konkanis joined at one place in Mumbai for the cause of Konkani. In fact the larger crowd who waited till the last moment to get passes had to get disappointed as all the passes were given out five days prior to the show. It was a time of excitement and thrill to see 3000 people seating and watching this great show. Claps after claps from this huge crowd was heard as the forgotten roars of the waves in the unearthed river Saraswati giving new hope to Konkani. The scene of river Saraswati enacted by the tiny tots itself was the challenge to the people to carry on its flow. This is not enough said, Mr. Albert W. DSouza in his presidential speech. We need a Konkani Sahitya Akademy and a full fledge Konkani Bhavan to work for the cause of our people and our language. Over 40 communities speak Konkani and they are scattered all over the coasts of Maharashtra. Though Konkani is a minority language in the state of Maharashtra the government has not taken enough care to develop the language over the years. We will fight for this new cause. He said. We need to stress on one script for Konkani. If one script is used by all communities of Konkani, the language can see faster developments insisted the ex Police Commissioner and ex Anti Corruption Bureau Director Mr. Ronald H. Mendonca. Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Bombay Most Rev Ferdinand J Fonseca said "it is a joy to see all Hindu, Muslim & Christians gathered together in the name of their mother tongue Konkani." Let us nurture our mother tongue and give due respect to our Lord said Mrs. Grace Pinto in her charismatic speech. She also honoured Mr. Albert W. DSouza and his wife Mrs. Evlina A. DSouza with the garland of Pangla Kolle for the successful organization of the show. Auxiliary Bishop of Bombay & the chief of Education board Most Rev Percival Joseph Fernandes, Lord Krishna Bank CEO & MD Mr. R. M. Nayak, Music Maestro of world fame Dr. Charles Vas SVD, Konkani Bhasha Mandal President Mr. P. N. Shanbhag & secretary Mr. J. B. Moraes too spoke on this vocation. Souvenir of Konkan Daiz yatra was released on this occasion. The ex police commissioner Mr. Ronald H. Mendonca released the book 40 Konknni Magnni (40 Konkani Prayers), the transliteration of Mangalorean Konkani Prayers in to Roman script by Ancy Paladka. This book made new record on this day by the sale of more than 600 copies during the show. Ami Konglish Uloitanv book by Mr. J. B. Sequiera was inaugurated by Mrs. Grace Pinto. Hanv Mhonis Zalam book by Pintam Derebail was inaugurated by Fr. Walter Pinto. Known stage artist and a singer Mr. Clement Lobo was comparer of the programme. The Dance Ballet directed by Rev Dr Charles Vas SVD was started by the song Saraswatichea Sullsulleamni Ubzoli-i tum mae a song composed by Mr. J. B. Moraes. Fausto V. DCosta (Editor, Gulab Monthly) along with his team welcomed the crowd by extending pan-podd udok. Then there was a heartfelt welcome by different communities of Konkani people in their own style of richness. The story started at the banks of River Saraswati which was a magnificent show by the tiny tots with the ear pleasing music of the flow of river Saraswati which was digitally recorded. The river Saraswati was magic of attraction among the audience who welcomed it with their unending and ear breaking claps. The show then continued with the scene of Krishna playing mischief with the gopis being one among the gopi was a Konkani as recorded by Santh Nam Dev 600 years ago as Ekli Konkani. Then came a misfortune of distress, trouble, vexation & severe affliction as the twelve-year drought rubbed river Saraswati into dry and made all Konkanis to scatter around. The marginal among them seeked out refuge in the coasts of Goa. Once again the Portuguese rule in Goa forced them to leave their traditions, culture, religion and language. Their
[Goanet]HELMETS: PUBLIC MEETING TO PROTEST AGAINST POLICE HARASSMENT
## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) has called for a public meeting on 31st October at 10 am at Institute Menezes Braganza hall, Panjim to protest and strongly condemn the undue harassment being meted out to two-wheeler riders across Goa by the police. The Goa police should immediately stop harassing two-wheeler riders on village roads and state highways and as to National Highways should infact wait for the outcome of the high level committee chaired by Transport Minister Pandurang Madkaikar appointed by the Government to study the helmet issue as decided by the Goa Legislative Assembly in its last session. We express confidence that Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar will find a comprehensive solution to the helmet issue which has been haunting two-wheeler riders for over two decades. We appeal to Mr. Parrikar not to allow certain vested interests to misguide him and request the Chief Minister to keep up to the categorical assurance given by him two years ago to a delegation of MAG in the presence of Transport Minister Pandurang Madkaikar and Santa Cruz MLA Victoria Fernandes that the government would make certain exemptions to the use of helmets especially within city limits. The enforcement of the helmet rule has nothing to do with road safety but is a ploy by certain vested interests in connivance with the helmet manufacturer's lobby and now that enough helmets were sold it was hoped that the police would stop harassment of two-wheeler riders. The two months of the helmet drive has proved that making helmets compulsory by itself will not minimise the number of deaths and people will continue to die regardless of whether they were a helmet or not as long as the Government does not take some genuine concrete steps to deal with the root causes of accidents. We are concerned that the police force instead of tackling other crimes are busy challaning two wheeler riders not wearing helmets and seeing the police pre-occupied the number day light chain snatching by some criminals wearing helmets is on the rise. If there is a sincere crackdown on reckless, negligent and drunken driving the alarming rate of accidents will see a steep dive and that this has to be coupled by improving the conditions of our roads and by curbing the rampant corruption in the police and transport departments.

[Goanet]Parrikar denies poaching opposition MLAs
## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## As usual, the Goan patrakars make the most mischief for their daily bread - AlmeidaG(ji) Parrikar denies poaching opposition MLAs NT Staff Reporter Panaji Oct 25: The Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Parrikar today denied that he was poaching Opposition MLAs in order to keep himself in power. He was reacting to certain comments made by the state Governor, Mr S C Jamir in an interview with a national English daily with regard to the induction of Mr Isidore Fernandes into the Bharatiya Janata Party. The newspaper quoted Mr Jamir as saying, I have specifically told the CM not to make a mockery of democracy and had warned him that if he continues the unholy politics as seen in Poinguinim... I will certainly dissolve the House. Mr Parrikar told The Navhind Times: The Governor was made to reply to a loaded question. Mr Jamir had told in his interview: I have strong opinions on political horsetrading and will not tolerate such moves and will then have to dissolve the House. Mr Parrikar denied any such moves and said that his government was constitutionally very strong and would easily complete the rest of its tenure. Mr Parrikar said Mr Fernandes had declared his intention of leaving the Congress party in the first week of August and he joined the BJP on August 20, which had provided sufficient time for the Congress leaders to convince him. The fact that they failed to convince Mr Fernandes during the two week period clearly shows that there were serious differences between him and the Congress party, Mr Parrikar said. Under such circumstances, how can anyone blame the BJP for forcing Mr Fernandes to leave the Congress Party? he said. According to him the BJP can no more guarantee a party ticket to any Opposition MLA if he resigns and wishes to join the BJP. Mr Parrikar said he had never used a particular modus operandi for his political move more than once. My style of functioning is that I operate in a different way each time. He said the Bommai case allowed for expression of faith in the state assembly and ensured that the floor of the House was the most appropriate place for testing the strength of a government. As such, the judgment was in favour of his government, he said. Mr Parrikar said the Governor had reacted to a question which was structured on a premise which was completely untrue. Mr Jamir expressed his anguish regarding the situation, he said. - Read on CM Parrikars Four Eventful Years by Nandkumar Kamat THE fifth year of the Chief Minister of Goa, Mr Manohar Parrikar begins from today. The past four years have been interestingly eventful. Mr Parrikar has made his moves very well. The CM is still constrained by not having a fully BJP government. The present alliance with the UGDP and the MGP is a coalition of temporary convenience. It is not based on any common minimum programme. The picture has changed after the NDA lost power in Delhi. Now the loyalties of neo-BJP elements would be very suspect. Mr Parrikar has set for himself certain personal goals to achieve in his remaining tenure, till May 2007. He has his eyes on the pages of future history. His first year of rule saw the dissolution of the assembly and his brief role as the caretaker CM. The second year witnessed political compromises with the UGDP and the MGP. The last two years have been very turbulent with numerous controversies, which could have unnerved any other person in his place. Initially Mr Parrikar appeared hypersensitive to the public criticism, which is unavoidable in politics. He used to get irritated by baseless allegations. The media also built up his image as a self-righteous, intelligent know all and end all politician. In party circles he reportedly created an air of intellectual superiority and invincibility. He showed that he is second to none in physical and intellectual endurance. The opposition shied away from his challenges to debate certain issues openly on public platforms. He was exceptionally brilliant inside the legislative assembly and handled the business of the government very efficiently winning the appreciation and loyalty from his cabinet colleagues and MLAs. He is the first CM to have read all-important legislations of the state. In his first two years he trained himself about the fine aspects of administrative matters. He could see for himself the tremendous revenue leakage that was bleeding the state of Goa. The opposition has never given him the credit of increasing the state revenue without burdening the common people. He faced the harshest criticism over the IFFI preparations but

Kind Attn. Vijay D'Souza Sir, I thank you for asking for my comments to these vital questions. I have answered them to the best of my ability and belief. Sincerely, Floriano Lobo (Q). Main achievements of Mr. Manohar Parrikar as CM. (A). Being a dedicated RSS ideologue, Manohar Parrikar has been singularly successful in consolidating the Sangh Parivar's (read RSS's) agenda in Goa to a great extent by saffronising Goa's State Administration, and he continues to do so. He has shown Goa Congress Party's rule of almost 2 decades in bad light through cosmetic facelifts at exorbitant costs that Goa can ill afford, putting Goa in a severe debt trap through an all out and frivolous spending spree i.e. IFFI, Sky Bus, DSSS, Cyberage etc. He has succeeded in retaining his chair against all odds by playing proverbial Santa Claus to Congressmen and others who are severely compromised through their past deeds of commission and omission. (Q). His drawbacks. (A). Over confident of himself, in that he believes that being an IIT'an, he is all knowing. That only he knows, what is best for Goa. Has no respect for democracy. He is no Goan. A bad listener, arrogant, impulsive, flip-floping in his decision making, a bully i.e. behaves like a kid who has always had his way. He is the harbinger of controlled sycophancy in the State Administration and State policing machinery. (Q). What has hampered his growth. (A). His attitude of not taking the people of Goa into confidence. He pushes people instead of taking the people along with him. He has no capacity to understand that he will be crushed when the people move backwards. Only sycophants get his ear. (Q). Has he taken Goa to the 22nd century. (A). Far from it. In the past 4 years, Manohar Parrikar has helped to take Goa backwards into the 21th century, the 'Hitler Way'. (Q). Does he have the potential to be the PM? (A). A preposterous question, indeed. Anybody can become the PM who has a balanced head on his/her shoulders. This seat is for Statesmen. Communals have no place on this seat. It is enough that Vajpayee-Advani combination have soiled these prestigious top two seats of our SECULAR Nation. Will India allow this to happen again is a million dollar question. All said and done, I wish Mr. Manohar Parrikar well. Floriano Lobo, President Goa Su-Raj Party 2nd. Floor, Karekar Bldg, Angod - Mapusa.

## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## GOA'S PREMIER WHOLESALE FISH-MARKET, AT MARGAO, NEEDS URGENT ATTENTION By Fermino Faleiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] Goa's premier wholesale fish-market, spread over some 10,000 square metres beside the National Highway 17, in Margao near the KTC Bus Stand, is itself becoming something of a nuisance. One comes across a foul smell and leftover fish seen around almost anytime of the day. Then, there's the pollution caused to the River Sal, the mounting opsition by Madel residents and, to add to the problem, the narrow approach road of 1.5 kms from the highway to the fish market. It would be easier for the camel to pass through the eye of needle, rather than for a man to reach the market by only connecting narrow road. During the peak hours of the early morning, the rush of business vehicles ranging from four-wheelers to two-wheelers are seen parked senselessly on either sides of road, thus making the flow of traffic difficult. Even the police posted to regulate the trafic seems to be helpless. "We have approached the authorities to ease out the problems faced by our association and the general public alike, but nothing seems to be moving," said All Goa Wholesale Fish Market Associations president Joaquim D'Mello.

The scooter always started! At Nasa, our intrepid Goan visitor would have asked that the vehicle be tilted, often, a little more than 45 degrees, but on both sides of the vehicle to be absolutely sure of a good start in the presence of so much publicity! Incidentally, the guy was a Sikh in earlier accounts--but he could have moved down to Goa more recently! Cornel.

Introduction: The Goa Hindu Association, a premiere organization of Goans in Mumbai was established in Mumbai in 1919 as a Charitable Trust by a few Goans dedicated to social service. The main aim was to encourage education among Goans as it was lacking in Goa. Over a period of time the activities expanded to include Medical division, Cultural division, Library and the latest addition to it is the Sneha Mandir to take care of the senior citizens along with a Hospital to admit these senior citizens when in need. The Scholarships: Even to day scholarships are given to the needy students every year aggregating five lakhs of rupees. It helps the students to persue higher education in India. Seven students are selected every year and adopted for higher studies till they complete the education. Prizes aggregating 3 lakhs of rupees are given annually to students showing creditable performance in the exams The cultural activities: The Goa Hindu Association hosted lot of dramas conveying social message to the society. At the moment this activity is being held in abeyance due to certain technical reasons. At present the Association holds three Orations every year. 1: To felicitate young Goan writer or poet. 2: To promote literature. 2: To promote cultural activities among goans. The Sneha Mandir. This is built in Goa and houses several senior citizens for a nominal maintenance fee.The Hostel is full and there is a waiting list. In the same campus there are medical facilities on a day to day basis and also there is a Hospital where the senior citizens are admitted for treatment. Lot of cultural and social activities are held every year in this place along with medical camps. The Library. From the beginning the Association had established a Library which has grown very large over a period of time. It has fiction books, periodicals, magazines and as of to day more than three thousand books of reference on various topics.Titles include History, Poetry,Culture, Arts,Drama, Music, Religion etc. The Association also has published several books pertaining to literature, research, culture etc by eminent Goans. The Appeal Purpose: To preserve the books of reference so that they can be used by anyone anywhere for doing research or for writing thesis. At present the books are kept in wooden cupboards in non air conditioned rooms and are getting damaged. It is proposed to establish a computer department and to get all the books systematically recorded in the computer. It is proposed to establish a website of the Association so that these books are available for reference by any one all over the world. Eventually the plan is to get these books recorded fully in the computer so that access becomes easy and the books are also preserved. The preliminary expenses are estimated to be around Rupees 5 to 7 Lakhs. To start the ball rolling I have myself already donated Rupees One lakh to start the project. Donations to the Association are eligible for tax relief under section 80G of the Income Tax Act. The certificate number is DIT (E)/MC/80G/1220/2001.

As I have said before, resignation of an MLA from a party, and then fighting elections on another party is the right way to go about things. It is not a violation of anti-defection or any other law. yes, the exchange of money is illegal. Opposition should try to get evidence of that; in fact, if they can get evidence of even money distributed prior to elections among voters, they may be able to get the election countermanded, I think. I wonder why the opposition did not follow that strategy. If the governor dismisses the house due to poaching, I doubt if the court will uphold it. regards, Samir Kelekar
[Goanet]Stop poaching or House will go: Jamir to BJP (Posted by jzfernandes123)
## # If Goanet stops reaching you, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## In the Indian Express of date: http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=57632 PANAJI, OCTOBER 24: Goa Governor S.C. Jamir today threatened to dissolve the Assembly if the BJP government in the state continues to poach on Opposition MLAs. In an exclusive interview to The Indian Express, amid celebration in the ruling circles of completing four years in power, Jamir said: I have strong opinions on political horsetrading and will not tolerate such moves and will then have to dissolve the house. Rumours of two more Congress MLAs on the verge of resigning and contesting as BJP candidates in the by-elections had been fuelled by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikars statements before the media. However, the chief minister today said he had not spoken of two Congress MLAs willing to quit their party. He said he would think of it only if Congress rebels contacted him. However, I cant assure them of BJP tickets, he said. Jamir said the chief minister had been warned. I have specifically told the CM not to make a mockery of democracy and had warned him that if he continues the unholy politics as seen in Poingunim (where a Congress MLA resigned amidst allegations of financial incentives provided by the ruling party), I will certainly dissolve the house. So far, three Opposition MLAs have joined the ruling party. Parrikar, Jamir said, had said he was unaware of the poaching. How can the CM be ignorant of this? Jamir said. The legal implication of the Governors threat involves invoking Article 356 of the Constitution which involves the Bommai judgment. Politically though, it could bring about a re-configuration in the state. I have my ways, Jamir said. I have constitutional authority to ensure that horsetrading and mockery of democracy does not recur. The Governor also rubbished doubts raised by a section of the audio-visual media of his continuance in Goa and his imminent transfer to Tamil Nadu, saying he is here to stay. Sources at Raj Bhavan confirmed to The Indian Express that the Governor had spoken to the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil and was assured of his continuance as Governor of Goa.

It seems so. The 29-times champion, whose playing XI comprised of all National Football League players and were all Bengalis. But they couldn't beat Services who fielded Jawans from the three armed forces for whom state leagues are only competition exposures. In fact, many do not play even the local leagues. The underdogs rang exit bells for the giants in the 59th Indian Oil Santosh Trophy on Sunday. R Rajesh (45th) and Shaji D'Silva (51st) scored for Services while Dipendu Biswas (63rd) reduced from the spot after Mehtab Hossain was brought down. What, meanwhile, happened to Goa was even more dire. They had five current national players in their ranks but were routed by Punjab 5-1. The scoreline could have been worse. The Punjab-da-puttars were generous. The Goans were swept away by Gurjit Singh Atwal's four strikes after Harvinder Singh (19th) had given Punjab the lead. Climax Lawrence pulled one back. About the other match, the Goa coach Macus Pacheco was so shattered that he refused to talk to the media after his team's drubbing. While the two shockers questioned the status quo in Indian football, they also highlight the positive trend of talent emerging from non-traditional quarters. It is, now, upto All India Football Federation to tap the sources for good. But will they be able to?

For Indians, the added advantage is the historical links that Indian immigrants have with the country. Permanent residents are granted access to almost the same medical, educational and social benefits that are offered to Canadian citizens. To support the development of a strong and prosperous Canadian economy, the country welcomes three classes of business immigrants: investors, entrepreneurs and self-employed persons. Investors must make an investment of around $400,000 that is used by the provinces for economic development and job creation. Entrepreneurs must own and manage a business in Canada that creates employment for Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Self-employed persons must have the ability to employ themselves and make significant contributions to cultural activities, athletics or farming. more ... http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/897529.cms cheers LAws Baga/Kuwait = == Men are like steel: when they lose their temper, they lose their worth. ___ Do you Yahoo!?
