Alfred's superb voice, his brilliant composing skills and songs with myriad themes, all of which showed his love of his homeland Goa, got a rude jolt when around 2000, he suffered a paralytic stroke that not only incapacitated his entire side but also took away his most prized asset, his voice.

Michael Shermer, a wellknown skeptic has written a book called Why Smart People Believe Weird Things. In it he asks Is flapdoodle the fodder for fools? His answer is no. Most people believe such things because they have believed them all their lives. They have grown used to being in a mental world in which the laws of Physics are different from those in the real world. The Matrix is laid out for them - for us, and reloaded over and over again. One needs a Matrix revolution in one's mind. Not an easy task. There are also other reasons for holding such beliefs, some of which can be quite unspiritual. Monica Besra's husband did not believe in the first miracle - the overnight disappearance of the tumor, for quite a while. He believed in it only after a second miracle took place - the overnight disappearance of his poverty. You see, he has become a landlord now.

[Goanet]COMMENT: Getting into Goa...
Getting into Goa In Singapore, you get free local phone calls on arrival at the airport. In Finland's capital of Helsinki, the sleek and regular Volvo buses ferry you from Vaanta airport to town for around four to five Euros, an extremely reasonable fare by local standards. If you're a stranger in this city, no reason to fear. There's a nifty website that gives you elaborate instructions on how to get from one point to another in town. Not just that, it will also tell you exactly how long your journey would take, what time you need to start at if you want to reach on time, and which buses or trains or trams could connect you. Even nearby Bangalore welcomes you to the Garden City with pre-paid autorickshas from near the main city railway station -- which means no over-charging -- and an un-crowded booking counter that allows you to book tickets speedily to scores of destinations in neighbouring states. Places like Hyderabad have elaborate what's-on guides that tell you how to keep buys while in the city. Smaller cities like Hubli or Belgaum make up by their local transport network. What does one get in Goa? You land at the airport, and there are no buses to take you onward. Your taxi ride costs more than a Mumbai-Goa bus ticket. That's not all. Across the state, taxis and rickshaws charge so extortionately high, that they've almost priced themselves out of business. Few taxi operators do well. Others wait in queue up outside hotels to get a single passenger, which could be once a day or even once in two days. Goa's scattered nature, and lack of return passengers, poses its own problems. But surely some solution could be thought of; just as the mini-buses have proven to be a boon to ply in parts of a small state where larger buses have been unviable. Leave alone the tourists, even the locals are plagued by a transport system -- dreams of the Skybus notwithstanding -- that saps their energies and makes them un-competitive. It results shops in main-towns like Panjim closing shutters by 8 pm if not earlier; workers need to, after all, find their way home. River-based transport, both scenic and enjoyable, never touches even a fraction of its potential, despite frequent promises on this score. For a supposed touristic paradise, Goa offers the visitor a rather raw deal. Getting into or out of Goa can be quite a challenge. Strange for a state which claims to be one of South Asia's most popular tourist and conference destinations. This is something that plagues many of the 1.35 million residents of this state, and a greater number of visitors coming to Goa each year. It also affects the large expat population of Goans, regardless of whether they come in by air, rail or road. Thing are far from functional. Start at the Konkan Railway Corporation booking counter at Panjim. It could be an interesting exercise to study the man-hours wasted there, because of the long queues one has to put up with. During the frequent seasonal rush, tickets are hard to come by. Railway agents help a bit; but if you have to cancel a ticket booked through an agent, life can be hell. The KRC was showing some signs of offering more travel options to Goa; but the June 2003 accident that killed 50 has meant a major setback to their plans for faster trains and safer journeys. Goa's rail links with Bangalore, not even a daily service, show the lackadaisical manner in which the transportation needs of the region are taken care of. We're worse off, on this front, than we were many years back. The coastal steamer offered both tourists and Goans an inexpensive and enjoyable journey; but the misdirected IPKF operations in Sri Lanka put paid to that once and for all. Substituting that with catamarans and hover-crafts have long been spoken of, and even tried. Even if far costlier, such services have, till date, not been able to sustain themselves. Bus services have long been propped up by the private sector. Market pressures have brought in some degree of efficiency. But there too, all the buses for Mumbai depart from either end in the late afternoons or evenings. This means, the traveller is stuck if he needs to reach Mumbai (or Goa) at any time other than the morning. Besides, buses can be plagued by breakdowns en route, or get caught in the morning traffic-jam while entering Mumbai. Can such infrastructure just be left to chance to come about? Not to say that the air scenario is better. Mopa airport is still a dream. Navy-controlled Dabolim offers its odd-hour slots to the airlines, meaning you land there around dawn, or have to jostle with the whole lot of flights bunched-up during the afternoon hours. Within Goa, the transport infrastructure is as chaotic, if not worse. Office-goers living as little as 10 kms away from the state-capital have to depend on their own two-wheelers, thereby clogging roads and enhancing pollution levels in this small state. Late-night buses, despite frequent promises, have been a non-starter. Even on the

[Goanet]Miracles!
Dear Netters, Mark Twain called them Lies of virtuous ecstasyothers make-believe they are 'miracles'.Those who really believe in them are bound to suffer...in the hope of reward on 'sugar candy mountain'.Sickness does not bother them when they are dead. They live in hope upto their last breath. Blessed are the stupid, the truth does not bother them. I only feel sad for Mother Theresa. She did not deserve this after her death. She had willingly relinquished[not abdicated] her post of the Superior of MC when alive[and human]on Earth.Would she seek titles when she is no more? Why do we sully her memory?? Viva Goa.

[Goanet-news]OBITUARY: Goa's 'melody king' is no more
ALFRED ROSE: OBITUARY -- GOA'S MELODY KING IS NO MORE
Goa's Melody King Alfred Rose faded away on Tuesday, even as his song will
continue to inspire the tens of thousands of listeners it enchanged when
played on the radio or across cultural performances of local Konkani-loving
audiences that cut across dividing lines of religion, caste, or state.
Remember, the singer with a Panama hat on his head and a magic wand in his
hand delivering the opening song for tiatrs in English-Konkani in the
'60s?, reminisced Isidore Dantas, in a recent profile published in the
local monthly 'Goa Today'.
Rose had the ability to appeal to a wide range of taste; one recalls his
performance at an 'international' Konkani meet organised in Mangalore in
1995, where his acceptance by a wide range of Konkani speakers was quickly
apparent.
Besides being called Goa's Melody King, Alfred Rose was also called The Man
with the Golden Voice by the HMV recording company, and gifted other
sobriquets like Konkani's Ambassador, International Superstar, and the
Living Legend of Konkani Music.
Rose had been ailing for some time now, and was tended by his musician-wife
Rita and their family.
Born Rosario Alfred Fernandes in 1932 at Calvim, Aldona, he got his stage
name from his father Ambrose Fernandes, who's name is believed to have got
shortened to AMB Rose by the Karachi Jesuits.
He has six decades of musical popularity to his credit, and was
christened Junior Rose by versatile Konkani tiatrist C Alvares, being the
youngest among the actors during his tiatr debut way back in 1943.
Alfred Rose, who had directed the music for the film Bogllant, is also
credited with recording all eight songs in a single day.
Rose spoke highly of the patronage of Goans abroad, saying he has toured
globally and performed his Konkani musical show in almost every Goan
centre of emigration.
Tributes to the artiste recall that Alfred Rose who started out in fifties
with ever popular hits such as Sui Sut Ani Cator (The Needle, The
Thread, and The Sissors)) and Dev Nidonk Nam (God's Not Asleep) is
credit with having charmed the air waves of Portuguese-run pre-1961 era
Emissora de Goa and All India Radio.
Archive reports noted Alfred Rose's recent felicitation in Goa, which took
place before his bout of illhealth. Together with the Aldona-origin singer,
also feted were his singer-actress wife Rita and daughter Alria.
For some reason, the Goa government's lack of public recognition to this
talented musician who won the heart of lakhs of fans, has been critically
commented on in various fora. In Mapusa too, the felicitation was not by the
government, but by the local Konkani Seva Kendra.
In the presence of Konkani scholar Dr Tanaji Halarnkar, then Tourism Minister
Victoria Fernandes did the honours of felicitating the ageing singer, amidst
a thunderous applause.
She also promised to take cognizance of the memorandum handed over to her by
the Konkani Seva Kendra, and said she would work towards getting Kala
Academy's open air auditorium named after Alfred Rose, the Goanow webzine
reported.
In his short but inspiring speech then, Alfred Rose then emotionally
exhorted Goans not to look down upon Konkani, but to wholeheartedly
embrace it and speak it in the homes.
Goan philanthropist Jerome Mendes is credited with being the first Goan to
take Alfred Rose and his troupe to the UK with his tiatrists and produced
his first Konkani long-play record called 'Londoncho Mog' with English
musicians.
Together with popular singers, Alfred Rose is also credited with having sung
for Bollywood's film industry. Others besides Rose who have this to their
credit include Lorna (who sang chorus for Mohamed Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Lata
Mangueshkar), Asha Bhonsle, Francis Vaz ('Baarish'), Usha Mangueshkar, Usha
Amonkar, Sudesh Bhonsle, among others. Rose's performance was for 'Love in
Goa'. (ENDS)

[Goanet]Case filed against Pope, Sister Nirmala

Prafulla Kumar Naik from the organisation Pragati filed a written complaint against the two at the Kendrapada police station, officials said on Tuesday. Mother Teresa did not cure Monika Besra (of West Bengal ). The doctors cured her, he asserted. In his complaint, he also said the MoC, Sister Nirmala and Pope John Paul II were doing harm to society by falsely propagating unscientific things about Mother Teresa. __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re:[goanet] Malapropism: in the theatres and on the net.
Dear Netters, I still cannot fathom why the good Dotor Jose Colaco keeps taking postings off goanet into a closed loop[without even a cc to goanet!]. Also I cannot understand his need to 'umpire' beyond TGF [not enough subscribers to satisfy his need ?] . A little bit of jest on Goanet should not provoke the good dotor...specially as the jest is not aimed at him. Where is his sense of humour ? Lost in the website links, on-line lexicon, dictionary and thesaurus ??? There is also absolutely no need to 'label' Mr.Nair as a 'court jester'. It isn't funny. It isn't decent, either. One would expect better 'education' enroute to a medical degree,specially the pre-1961 version.

There is a parallel, intercourse going on which Goanet would frown upon. This is in reference to the recent posting by Mr. Nair.

[Goanet]UK Goan Association
- Original Message - From: Marlon Menezes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 7:23 AM Subject: [Goanet]UK Goan Association -- I presume you are referring to the following event detailed below. However, I do not see what the issue is. The bishop who happend to be a board member's brother performed a service for the community and was given an award of some kind. My first response to this is did the president overule the rest of the board in organizing this event? If not, what is the issue? I'm assuming of course they were elected to their positions and thus have the authority to organize social and religious events. I'm also assuming that the GOA-UK is not a secular organization and whose membership primarily consists of goan catholics. Sorry for my basic questions as I dont live in the UK. http://www.goanvoice.org.uk/newsletter/2003-28/ as follows: SPECIAL REPORT: Visit by Bishops. The UK was fortunate to receive visits from Bishop Filipe Neri Ferrao (auxiliary Bishop of Goa) and Bishop Agnelo Gracias (auxiliary Bishop of Mumbai and brother of the GOA President, Flavio Gracias). Bishop Filipe Neri Ferrao celebrated Mass at Southwark Cathedral and at the social that followed a presentation was made to him on behalf of the Goan Community RESPONSE: First of all The President has not been elected by the General Body, he failed to stand for elections. An E.G.M was called for elections. They were advised that it would be illegal to hold an election at an E.G.M. . The remedy used thereafter is highly irregular if not down right illegal. The confirmation of elections can only be done at an A.G.M as per our Constitution. If he was not elected in the first place they body cannot simply okay something which didn't happen. I have checked on the legality of this and have found out that it is a down right fraud . Furthermore it was not on the agenda that this was the course of action that would be taken. I have received advise that the correct thing, would have been to call and A.G.M under the title of unfinished business. The President may be opted by the Board members. If this is the case he has no authority to sign. Many people perform a service and are allowed to charge for their services - say a band playing or a disco When and if you pay over the odds for a disco then you suspect that something is not correct. Secondly the usual practise is for the offertory collection or part of it to be gifted to the officiating clergy. I have not read anywhere in our Constitution that the Association can organize religious events. We have a memorandum and this should be adhered to. I do not believe this to be the case. It might be that it was worthy to make gifts, where do we stop and how far can we go?

Re: [Goanet]Re: BEN ANTAO: Free Goa's First Elections...
Fred says: Misuse of the Press is not, and can never be, justified. On whatever grounds. Yet we, who work in the Press, know that this happens *all* the time. This is the *reality*. In my book when one talks about reality it is rationalisation. Because reality is a subjective matter. I also think that one who rationalises one set of actions has a substantially reduced right to criticise similar set of actions done by another person in another situation. I would once again like to repeat what the Prof Amartya Sen has to say: Indeed, voting is only one way--though certainly a very important way--of making public discussions effective, when the opportunity to vote is combined with the opportunity to speak, and to listen, without fear. The force and the reach of elections depend critically on the opportunity for open public discussion. Once again, too, I would like to apologise to being a parrot. Sachin Phadte. _ Celebrate Shakti.

[Goanet]Fwd: Bollywood News: Ash is Time's queen
--- Forwarded message --- From: Eustaquio Santimano [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Goanet [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bollywood News: Ash is Time's queen Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2003 11:04:15 +0200 Ash is Time's queen October 20, 2003 13:49 IST Celebrating Indian cinema's arrival on the world stage, Time magazine has come out with a cover story on the changing face of Bollywood. The magazine, which projects Aishwarya Rai as Bollywood's 'queen', has the former Miss World on the cover of its latest issue. The article also highlights crossover movies, films with bold themes and the increasing Western interest in Bollywood. The weekly, which focuses on the younger generation in its latest issue, describes Aamir Khan as 'India's most respected and versatile young actor' and praises director Ram Gopal Varma for 'ditching song-and-dance fantasies for urban grittiness.' Heaping lavish praise on Aishwarya, the magazine describes her as 'India's standard bearer' and says 'she may position herself as New Bollywood in terms of roles but, in person, Rai embodies the Indian middle class and the very old Bollywood ideal -- a modern girl with traditional values. For someone emerging as a 21st century film star, there are few people less likely to turn into a Western style sex kitten.' The magazine points out that the Indian film industry releases an average of 1,000 films as compared to Hollywood's 740 and attracts a world audience -- from Kuala Lumpur to Cape Town -- of 3.6 billion, compared to Hollywood's 2.6 billion. It lists Awara, Mother India, Sholay, Ankur, Bombay and Devdas among the '10 Indian films to treasure.' But the article, which includes interviews with legendary Amitabh Bachchan and director Mira Nair, among others, has little to say about the film industry in Chennai and Kolkata. ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##
[Goanet]Goa Hospitality Industry against Beach Shacks but promote Food Courts
-- Documented by Goa Desc Resource Centre Ph:2252660 Website: www.goadesc.org Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Press Clippings on the web: http://www.goadesc.org/mem/ -- --- Shack licensing mechanism under fire for not being foolproof --- Shacks are unique to Goa so also are the rules and regulations under which they are allowed.The allotment of shacks has, however, been surrounded in one controversy or the other every year. Every year the government calls for applications from among the Goan people at the onset of the tourism season for running of shacks on the beaches and the shacks are allotted after draw of lots. Though the successful applicants have been given assurance over the years by the authorities that they would be given the contract to run the shacks next year, somehow or the other the assurance made to shack owners have not been kept. Like every year, this year also the applications were called for running the shacks and 193 people have been allotted shacks after draw of lots, which was held in public. But some of the shack owners, who lost out on lots, have been crying foul and allege that the system was not foolproof. The tourism director, Mr N Suryanarayana told The Navhind Times that the draw of lots was held in full view of applicants and young children and others among public were invited to draw lots. This system has been adopted by the government ever since the Bombay High Court directed it, he added. Mr Suryanarayana, however, said that this year government had decided not to give licences to run the additional 51 shacks which were permitted last year. This decision follows the assurance to the effect given by the Tourism Minister, Mr Francisco Xavier Pacheco on the floor of the state legislative assembly. He said that there were as many as 60 new allottees this year from among the 193 successful applicants. He also said the applications at various strategic tourists locations, like Calangute, Candolim, Baga, Colva, etc were far in excess of number of shacks to be permitted and at other places like Velsao, etc the applicants match the number of shacks to be permitted. Mr Suryanarayana denied knowledge of any of the allottees giving rights to run the shack to others for a premium. There have been allegation that a number of people seek allotment of shacks and on successful bidding they give the rights to others, most of whom are those who do lose out on lots but have been running the shacks earlier. Meanwhile, key players in the hospitality industry feel that government should have a uniform policy to regulate the food business on the beaches. The senior officials in the hospitality industry feel that rather than permitted shacks all along the beaches, the government could set up food courts on-line with those existing in other parts of the world. For this, they said, the government should build infrastructure complete with all facilities like running water, toilets, decent food storage facilities, proper cooking facilities septic tanks, etc at strategic places near the beaches and let out these to the successful applicants. These facilities would help maintain the beaches and also help the service providers provide better quality food thereby eliminating health risks. These facilities will also help the people run their business well, said the officials in tourism industry. They further said that rather than permitting structures on the beaches which spoil the beauty and create hindrance to people, food courts will go a long way in maintaining the beauty of the beaches and help their owners in running the business round the year. --- The Navhind Times 19/10/03 page 1 --- === GOA DESC RESOURCE CENTRE Documentation + Education + Solidarity 11 Liberty Apts., Feira Alta, Mapusa, Goa 403 507 Tel: 2252660 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] website: www.goadesc.org -- Working On Issues Of Development Democracy === ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##
[Goanet]Understaffed PWD leaves Valpoi locals thirsty for 3 days!
--- Documented by Goa Desc Documentation Service circulated by Goa Civic Consumer Action Network (GOA CAN)[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph:2252660 --- --- Understaffed PWD leaves Valpoi locals thirsty for 3 days! -- The absence of a full-time PWD Assistant engineer, shortage of two junior engineers, disruption of electricity and a PWD generator under repairs.The result? No water supply to residents of Valpoi for three days. According to sources, the taps went dry on Wednesday and the water was released only on Saturday.Unhappy residents pointed out that many representations were made to the PWD office, but no officer was present to entertain their grievances. When Herald contacted the local PWD office (Water Supply), it was revealed that the Assistant Engineer, holds additional charge of Valpoi, attends to duties at Valpoi only twice a week. On the other days, he is at his present posting at Bicholim. The post of a full-time AE is vacant, following the transfer of AE Kotariya about six months ago.Moreover, the post of two junior engineers are also vacant, since the past few years.The lone engineer Talikutti reportedly went to the site at the Dabose Water plant, leaving only clerical staff to face the wrath of angry residents at the PWD office. Sources from the PWD office explained that the shortage of water was due to disruption in electricity. However, they (PWD) could have used a generator, in the absence of proper electricity, and this would have reduced the hardships of the residents, insisted Valpoi Municipal Council vice-chairman Daud Ali Aga. When contacted, Deputy Speaker and local MLA Narahari Haldankar admitted that the water supply problem could have been averted, had the PWD used its generator. However, the PWD generator is under repairs, explained Haldankar, but warned that such a lapse by the PWD would not be tolerated in future. Haldankar also asked the VMC to begin cleaning of all public wells, as a preparatory step to tackle water scarcity, which could affect residents during summer. Meanwhile, electricity department Assistant Engineer S Fernandes informed Herald that at least 25 trees at Rede-ghat at Valpoi fell on electricity lines during strong winds which hit Valpoi on Wednesday afternoon. Power supply was restored after 24 hours. Unfortunately, within restoration of power supply, another tree fell on the wires and power was shut down for another day, explained Fernandes.The clearing operation was done by the Valpoi Fire Services, Valpoi police and the electricity department. Residents however complained that they were forced to consume untreated water from unused wells, due to acute shortage of drinking water. -- HERALD 21/10/03 page 5 -- === GOA DESC RESOURCE CENTRE Documentation + Education + Solidarity 11 Liberty Apts., Feira Alta, Mapusa, Goa 403 507 Tel: 2252660 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] website: www.goadesc.org -- Working On Issues Of Development Democracy === ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##

[Goanet]If you put in negatives and frustration, you will receive.........negative outcomes and frustrating circumstances.
00 The New Definition of Reality Much has been said about the trouble of a negative attitude and the power of a positive outlook. It has always been one against the other, with optimism always winning out in the end. But there is a third way, and in my opinion, it is the most powerful and beneficial of all outlooks. What is it? Reality. Whether we like it or not, the world is neither good or bad, positive or negative. The world simply is. It favors no side, and throws bad luck toward no predetermined party. It is a mirror, giving back to us what we give to it. To understand this single idea is to gain the most empowering mind set possible. The world is yours for the taking. ::Making it Work For You:: Marcelle Abney was a young woman living with cerebral palsy. For some, this would have brought an end to any hope for a successful and enjoyable life. It overwhelmed Marcelle many times, and she wondered why the world did this to her. This mind set didn't last long. The reality was, she had cerebral palsy. She didn't do anything to deserve it, she simply had it. Instead of dwelling on the unfairness of life, she took her condition and made it work for her. Today, Marcelle, is a successful occupational therapist. Early on, she decided that her condition would give her an advantage working with others who could relate to her setbacks and needs. Marcelle saw the world as it was, and made it work for her. ::We Get What We Give:: The world is exactly like a computer. You put in software, (your actions), and it delivers the appropriate response (reaction). Jeff Pryor was dealing with a handful of interpersonal difficulties at work. He didn't get along well with others, blaming their abrasive and unfriendly personalities for the situation. But then something happened. A friend took Jeff aside and had a little talk with him. It went something like this. 'Jeff, I know you've been having some trouble with the staff lately, and I know why you think it is happening. I'm here, as your friend, to tell you the truth. The people aren't unfriendly, and would be more than happy to treat you better, if you would start to treat them better.' 'You see, Jeff, by thinking that your coworkers don't like you, you treated them that way from the start. They merely responded to your input. The reality is, you treat them like friends, and they'll respond with friendship.' Soon after, Jeff was enjoying work and his coworkers more than ever before. When he realized that he viewed the world in a way that made his life unbearable, he was able to shape his perceptions differently, bringing him desirable results. ::A Powerful Mindset:: If you put in negatives and frustration, you will receive negative outcomes and frustrating circumstances. The world doesn't care who you are, or what you do. Its only job is to respond to what you give it. Now that you know how it works, start playing the game to win and succeed. Perhaps you feel that the odds are against you and you were dealt a bad hand in life. Maybe you are having difficulty losing weight, or can't seem to stop smoking. You may want to get a better job and make more money, or you simply may want to live a better life. Whatever it is, you can do it, be it, or get it. Author unkown to me , but I thought I d share it with you all anyway. rene barreto www.goaday.com We Get What We Give ! 0 ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##
[Goanet]Fwd: News: Patna room still houses Mother's memories
--- Forwarded message --- From: Eustaquio Santimano [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Goanet [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: News: Patna room still houses Mother's memories Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2003 11:00:12 +0200 Patna room still houses Mother's memories Anand Mohan Sahay in Patna | October 20, 2003 08:36 IST Many may not be aware of the special association that a small room in Patna has with Mother Teresa, who was beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 19, 2003. After joining the Loreto Sisters of Dublin, she came to India in 1929 and took the name Sister Teresa. She spent 17 years teaching and as principal of St Mary's High School in Kolkata before deciding to work among the 'poorest of the poor'. Around 1948, she decided to form a congregation. But she lacked medical training to serve the sick. Hence, she headed for the Holy Family Hospital in Patna to learn about first aid. Patna archbishop Benedict J Osta told rediff.com that the three months she spent there were very precious for Mother Teresa. It was a period of uncertainty. She was frightened and unsure of the future. It was her training at the Holy Family Hospital that gave her the confidence to go ahead with the task she had in mind. The room where Mother Teresa stayed is now a part of the Missionaries of Charity's house. Outside the room there is a board that read: 'Mother Teresa, who started her mission of love after undertaking training at Padri ki Haveli, stayed in this room, 1948.' It has been left untouched, as it was when she inhabited it. The small room still has everything she used: an iron cot, a large desk, a small table on which she kept her Bible, a chair, a wall-mounted cupboard, a kneeler bearing the symbol of Jesus Christ and a wooden clothes hanger. The room leads to another, which has a picture of Mother Teresa with the first governor of Bihar and Bishop Wilder Muth, taken on the occasion of the inauguration of the MC House in Patna in 1963. There are other pictures too, including one taken in her birthplace in Albania in 1928. She was Patna's saint in the sense that she began her work from this place. It had played an important role in shaping her career, said Osta. People associated with different churches in the city celebrated her beatification in a big way with special masses and prayer services. The MC House will organise a mass on October 26 and an all-religion prayer meeting on November 1. The bishop of Patna will also hold an all-religion meet on November 9 and a mobile exhibition depicting Mother Teresa's life is in the planning stages. A senior member of the church said that usually it takes hundreds of years after the death of a person before he/she can be considered for beatification, but in Mother Teresa's case the process was speeded up as she was worshipped as a saint even before she died in 1997. PS: Mother Teresa is 5th beatified candidate from India ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##

[Goanet]FW: Pray for the Pope !
His Holiness is asking us to pray specifically for him. He probably knows that he doesn't have much time left amongst us. Please send this to as many people as possible without any embarrasment. A few weeks ago in his Angelus to the pilgrims in St Peter's square, Pope John Paul II asked for our prayers for him. He says that the only thing that sustains him is the prayer of all those who remember him. Let us help our Pope who has said so many prayers for us. Let us offer at least an Our Father for him.Please send this e-mail to your friends. With this small effort in a few days time millions of people will have prayed for John Paul II and got many others to pray for him too. Let's not ever forget the power of prayer. ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##
