Re: [Goanet] Goanet] It is official! Mobile phones, towers and base
In the peer-reviewed biomedical literature there are two papers reporting correlations between reduced habitation of house sparrows around cell phone towers, but no evidence for dying of these birds due to radio frequency electromagnetic waves emitted by cell phones or towers. There is also no evidence in the peer-reviewed literature for reduction of bees and bats, nor any deleterious effects on plants in the wild from these waves. Please note that bats produce and sense ultrasonic sound waves, not radio frequency electromagnetic waves. Please let me know if anyone likes to know the difference between the two. BTW, radio frequency electromagnetic waves permeate the natural universe in abundant quantities. They carry miniscule amounts of energy.

I hope you have read the article by Percival Noronha. After the bump we Goans are now in a large hole. The chilean miners escaped from their hole, it looks like we are stuck for ever.

[Goanet] Queen of Jackfruit Recipes: Geethakka
Have often wondered why there is not more involvement of the food-processing industry with jackfruit. It would seem to me that there should be a very wide range of products to be derived from the jackfruit. We had a saying 'back home' that the pork processing people 'used everything but the squeal. A fine golden liqueur is something that I visualize in mind's eye for jackfruit---marketable worldwide.
[Goanet] Festival of Ideas, Goa
Festival of Ideas, Goa Star-studded line-up for D D Kosambi Festival of Ideas A compilation SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT Panjim, Chief Minister Digambar Kamat inaugurated the D D Kosambi Festival of Ideas on Saturday at Kala Academy, Panjim, followed by a lecture delivered by eminent scientist Dr Raghunath Mashelkar. This is the fourth edition of this lecture series, and will be held from February 5 to 10 at Kala Academy, Panjim. Other speakers included another great scientist and former President of India Dr A P J Abdul Kalam, Tibetan leader and Buddhist luminary His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Indian-born British economist and intellectual Lord Meghnad Desai, Human Rights activist and former Judge of South Africa’s Constitutional Court Justice Albie Sachs and Rajya Sabha MP, Hindu leader and President of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) Dr Karan Singh. A son of Goa, Dr Mashelkar was born on January 1, 1943 in Mashel, Tiswadi, in a modest family. He went to school barefoot and almost had to give up studies owing to his family’s strained economic circumstances. Nevertheless, he was a rank holder in the matriculation examination. An apocryphal story says that his school principal and science teacher, Bhave, once concentrated the rays of the sun through a magnifying lens on a paper till it burned and told him, “This lens is you. If you concentrate on your studies, one day you will reach the sky.” Though his mother could not support his college education, Dr Mashelkar managed to become a chemical engineer, won a Tata scholarship, went overseas and got his PhD degree. He did ground-breaking work in polymer science and engineering, going on to become the head of the National Chemical Laboratory (NCL). He was then named Director General of the CSIR. Under his leadership, the CSIR was first in the World Intellectual Property Organisation’s (WIPO’s) Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) filings among developing nations in 2002. CSIR still has a 30-40 per cent share of all US patents granted to Indians in India during the last three years. His personal experience of reaching the very top of his profession from the most dire of circumstances has convinced him that India is fated to become one of the world’s greatest intellectual and economic engines. He has been responsible for creating an unprecedented national awareness in India on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). He led the challenge to successfully revoke the US patent on the wound-healing properties of Turmeric. He also chaired the technical committee that successfully challenged and revoked US patents on Basmati Rice. This set in motion a movement for the protection of traditional knowledge in the entire developing world. Mashelkar is presently the president of the Global Research Alliance, a network of publicly funded research and development institutes from the Asia-Pacific region, South Africa, Europe and the USA with over 60,000 scientists. He is also the President of India’s National Innovation Foundation. The Directorate of Art & Culture initiated the D D Kosambi Festival of Ideas to commemorate the birth centenary of Damodar Dharmanand Kosambi, Indian mathematician, statistician, physicist, historian and polymath, and a great son of Goa. This festival is the only one of its kind in the country. Goans can make a miracle happen for Goa: Mashelkar TNN, Feb 6, 2011, 03.05am IST PANAJI: Eminent scientist of Goan origin Raghunath Mashelkar said that he feels hugely optimistic about Goa's future given the strong feelings displayed by its youth towards their homeland. Mashelkar opened the six-day D D Kosambi Festival of Ideas 2011 with his lecture 'Making Impossible Possible' at the Kala Academy on Saturday to an auditorium overflowing with an enthusiastic audience. "I met 350 young Goans recently for the making of the vision document. And I gave them 10 out of 11 on this one count. For the feeling of 'my Goa' that I saw in them. It was incredible. I met the chief minister the next day and I told him that I am dangerously optimistic usually, but now I am supper optimist for Goa," said the president of the Global Research Alliance referring to his meeting to gauge the aspirations of the youth of Goa last month. Mashelkar heads the Goa Golden Jubilee Council which is to prepare a vision document 2035 for the state. Mashelkar, pointing to an article that Goa has the least number of deaths at birth in the country, said, "This article says that Goa is the best place to be born in. We can also get a headline saying that Goa is the best place in the world. When people talk about India being the third-most powerful country in the world, I also want it to be the happiest country in the world. And I want the same for Goa, and Goans can make it happen." Mashelkar, who has been bestowed with 28 honorary doctorates by renowned universities throughout the world, elaborated, "Goa will be the happiest state in 2035 when not just few but every Goan will do
[Goanet] Healer , heal thyself…….an Election Special
Healer , heal thyself…….an Election Special By Wilmix Wilson Mazarello John: He is a “Liar”. Peter: Who is a “Liar”? John: Our M.L.A. Peter: So, what’s new? Did you realize it now? John: I know. Many people had told me that earlier , but I never believed them. Peter: So now you do. What made you change your mind? John: I worked to get him elected during the last Election. He had promised me a good “Government- Post”. Peter: So, you did not get it , right ? John: For four long years, he went on assuring me that he’ll do it. But he never did. Peter: There is still time. May be he’ll still do it. John: No, he will not. Peter: Why do you say that? John: Because, just yesterday he said to me:- “John, you are my best worker. I feel so bad I was not able to give you that “Government-Post” I promised you. But, do not worry, you just stand by me in the forthcoming Election, and I assure you, the first thing I’ll do is your work. That’s my promise. Peter: May be he means it. John: No! I know he does not mean it, because he said the very same thing to me 4 years ago, when he asked me to work for him . Peter: So, what are you going to do now ? John: I gave up my job, to work for him. My family is suffering, because I am jobless. I had convinced my family, that I’ll be getting a good “Government -Post”, no sooner he wins. Now, I’ll work against him in the coming Elections. I’ll teach him a lesson. Peter: And, how are you going to work against him? John: I’ll work for the Candidate, who’ll stand against him. Peter: And if that other Candidate wins, than you think you’ll get that “Government-Post “? John : Yes, why not ? Peter: And what, will you tell your family, this time? “Just wait for another 4 years ?” And, what if that Candidate does not win? What if the same M.L.A wins again? Have you thought about that? John : Why do you say that ? Peter: See John. There is no guarantee of a victory in any Elections. As of now, you don’t even know who the other Candidate will be, and you are ready to trust him , to give you a “Government-Post” . Secondly, if the present M.L.A wins again, he will not only ,not give you that “Government-Post”, instead he will take revenge against you for working against him. Do you know that? John: So, what do you advise me to do? Peter: Nothing. Just go and find that job you left, or any other job to support your family. Politics is not for you. You backed the present M.L.A for “selfish reasons”, ie. to get yourself a “Government-Post’. We need Politicians and Political workers who are “selfless” and not “selfish’ like you. You are as much a “Liar” as he is, because when you made propaganda for him, you lied to the voters saying that he will give jobs to the jobless . Am I right? In fact at that time, even you never had the people’s good in your mind. You had only one job in mind, and that is a “Government-Post” for yourself. John: What are you saying? John: I am saying that the ‘curse’ of the people is as much on you , as on the M.L.A. So before you call him a “liar”, first change yourself. Healer, heal thyself. (ENDS)
Re: [Goanet] Who Killed Aarusha Talwar? - A Tehelka expose.
Pandu, Methinks you are frozen in time in a backwater of Montreal, which makes you foist upon 2011, what must have been a racial slur in the 1960s. Now, there are so many "Goichis" in Mississauga and Scarborough (some of whom fled from Montreal while you remained) that the so-called Pakis are by far the largest community. If they have "peroxided" their hair blond it is because they have displaced the real blondes. Only this time, the blonds are not dumb. And I have no doubt you would turn green with the net-worth of most of these "Pakis". Now tell me before you say the word bigot again, have you read the entire Tehelka article as opposed to just looking at the photographs and what have you concluded from it.

Re: [Goanet] Regurgitating Historical Facts on Goa
From: "Gilbert Lawrence"
Re: [Goanet] Regurgitating Goa's History (Part 3)
I was waiting with bated breath to find out what Part 3 of "Regurgitating Goa's History" would reveal. Now that it is here I am relieved (no pun intended in the context of spoon feeding and regurgitation). I notice that in this part Gilbert asks us to read humor in it. He also asks some questions. But I feel bad for him because from past experience I know that nobody will bother to answer his questions. Instead, some of us will laugh so hard at his humor that we will fall off our chair and let our jaw drop to the floor. Recognizing this fact, I would like to request genuine Goan historians to make a serious effort to answer his questions for a change. But I notice that they cannot do that until they understand exactly the context, perspective, conflicts of interest and expertise in Goan history that lead Gilbert to ask his questions. I would therefore like to ask him for some clarifications about the statements he has made in this regard. 1. Where has he published his retrospective analysis of some repeatedly reported facts of Goan history? In which book or publication of his can one read it? (please don't read humor in this) 2. What are the titles of the books or sources on Goan history from which he has derived his knowledge and expertise on this subject? (no humor intended) 2. Why does he want us to read humor into the fact that he has risen to some state in life? What state in life has he risen to?

Re: [Goanet] Please suggest me a good dentist
For some reasons, I prefer doing my specs and teeth in Mapusa. Panjim, a bureaucrat town, is simply too pricey. So is Calangute, where the prices are suited to the tourists. I make my specs at good ol' Agnelo's (near the Mapusa taxi stand) and prefer Dr Gretchen Pinto for dentistry (at the Gomes Catao Building). I've had a good experience with both and would not hesitate to recommend. FN Frederick Noronha :: +91-9822122436 :: +91-832-2409490

Just my two bits: there are documented effects of cell fone towers in North America and the most worrying aside from the effects on humans is on the bees and birds. They loose their natural instincts and their bearings. On human beings in the developed world.where disease is common.its the food ( gm crops), acceptable rad^ation (smoke detectors) + unhealthy eating and now mobile fones. Ofcourse, these issues are always tucked under the carpet and be my guest and guess why. Back to the bees and the effects of cel fone signals impact their navigation and there is a mysterious bee disease about. Whole colonies have collapsed. So have bat colonies in North Eastern US.

[Goanet] Words of Wisdom - a father's advice.
A letter written by a father to his son : Following is a letter to his son from a renowned Hong Kong TV broadcaster cum Child Psychologist. The words are actually applicable to all of us, young or old, children or parents.! This applies to daughters too. All parents can use this in their teachings to their children. Dear son , I am writing this to you because of 3 reasons: 1. Life, fortune and mishaps are unpredictable, nobody knows how long he lives. Some words are better said early. 2. I am your father, and if I don't tell you these, no one else will. 3. What is written is my own personal bitter experiences that perhaps could save you a lot of unnecessary heartaches. Remember the following as you go through life: 1. Do not bear grudge towards those who are not good to you. No one has the responsibility of treating you well, except your mother and I. To those who are good to you, you have to treasure it and be thankful, and ALSO you have to be cautious, because, everyone has a motive for every move. When a person is good to you, it does not mean he really likes you. You have to be careful, don't hastily regard him as a real friend. 2. No one is indispensable, nothing in the world that you must possess. Once you understand this idea, it would be easier for you to go through life when people around you don't want you anymore, or when you lose what/who you love most. 3. Life is short. When you waste your life today, tomorrow you would find that life is leaving you. The earlier you treasure your life, the better you enjoy life. 4. Love is but a transient feeling, and this feeling would fade with time and with one's mood. If your so called loved one leaves you, be patient, time will wash away your aches and sadness. Don't over exaggerate the beauty and sweetness of love, and don't over exaggerate the sadness of falling out of love. 5. A lot of successful people did not receive a good education, that does not mean that you can be successful by not studying hard! Whatever knowledge you gain is your weapon in life. One can go from rags to riches, but one has to start from some rags! 6. I do not expect you to financially support me when I am old, neither would I financially support your whole life. My responsibility as a supporter ends when you are grown up. After that, you decide whether you want to travel in a public transport or in your limousine, whether rich or poor. 7. You honour your words, but don't expect others to be so. You can be good to people, but don't expect people to be good to you. If you don't understand this, you would end up with unnecessary troubles. 8. I have bought lotteries for umpteen years, but I never strike any prize. That shows if you want to be rich, you have to work hard! There is no free lunch! 9. No matter how much time I have with you, let's treasure the time we have together. We do not know if we would meet again in our next life. Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão.

Re: [Goanet] SUCCESSFUL CURCHOREM AGITATION: CM made give
A few thoughts from me. venantius j pinto From: rajendra kakodkar To: goanet@lists.goanet.org Subject: [Goanet] SUCCESSFUL CURCHOREM AGITATION: CM made give assurance in writting Today Curchorem people achieved?results they themselves never expected. CM was?forced to instruct Collector not to proceed with 4-lane against people's wishes. People insited on document in writing and CM was forced to do so. Collector, GP Naik?delivered the letter at?6.45 pm, after which the Fast was called off. VJP: Not expecting but yet doing anything is frightening--ie., if that is the mindset of the leadership and the villagers.Of course commentators and observers (also participants of course) will/can have their own take. But good to hear that the "unexpected" happened. Now hopefully they expect to hold on to what they "won/gained/extracted." +++ 500 people?marched in cars, buses etc from Curchorem (7am)?to Margao residence of CM. The date was 9-2-11 and CM also as usual made a 9-2-11. Police SP, Tony informed CM that the cream of curchorem society had landed up there and it is unwise to take any hard steps against them.?In fact at one occasion the aggressive ones in the crowd went out of control and blocked the main Hari-mandir road and paralysed the traffic. But, Tony's feedback helped and no untoward thing happened. VJP: SP Tony should be invited to offer suggestions on orderly agitation and the role the police can play in facilitating interaction as opposed to other Police personnel in the mining and other areas. Goans know their names. Use memory, remember things, people, situations. Good police personnel must be feted. ++ CM then requested agitators to send 5 people to Panjim. Agitators refused and insisted that he comes down to Margao. People were annoyed because: 1) CM?ignored the fasting agitators for?8 days, during which two?had to be?hospitalized. 2) He said he is not the CM of Curchorem but CM of Goa, implying that the woes Curchorem people are not important to him. Agitators then started contacting Margao voters and explained why they should not vote for Digu next time. Madgaokars always been sulking that they have to face long queues of trucks and dust pollution when they visit Zambaulim Damubab, the gram-dev of Madgaokars. They never knew who was responsible? They were informed that these trucks come from mines in which Digu had interest. This seems to?have hit?the bull's eye. CM then told the people that he has a solution and requested a delegation of agitators to come to Panjim, as he has to leave outstation. VJP: Good strategists. Not seems: It hit the bulls eye. Bottom line is next time it will be another bull. Equally dictatorial with one social grace or one less. Same old same old--as all their advisors, and beneficiaries too tell them, together contributing to breaking Goan ranks. +++ Some 10 people went to Panjim, while the crowd sat on the road at Margao. The crowd also took rally through the Margao town informing about mining misdeeds/curruption/loot and shouting slogans against the CM.?More than 300 Margao people also joined the rally at this?stage.? At Panjim, CM tried to dodge the 10 representatives. But?they had answers to every excuse of his. On two ocassions they showed him documentary evidence to prove his lies/ignorance. VJP: Very important to be elegantly merciless. And not look at any discomfort as a victory. That is childish and observered keenly as a sign of weak sustaining power. +++ When made reasonless he?was forced to yield. CM said " if I were a Curchorcar and not the CM, I would also hurl stones at the trucks". We brought him back to the topic reminding him that we wanted rational results and not rhetorics.?? VJP: Good focus. Btw, such rhetoric's are a unique part and parcel of us Indians. We often say things just to fil th eair, even the most brilliant ones. Obsequiosness cmes in various shades of being. Agitators in Margao continued to expose Digu's mining exploits, excesses. To save the face the CM asked Churchill, Jose Philip and the Collector to meet us. They too had no words of conviction. When pushed on the back foot, Churchill played one-up-man-ship?by saying that he wants to go one step ahead of CM and scrap the 4-Lane in toto. VJP: So DO IT. ++ This was all possible only because we targetted two things 1) His personal residence (seems his wife dislikes this) 2) His voters (atleast 300 Margao voters made to think) We now know for certain that he does fear some things. We can now say that if agitations are genuine and managed professionally and with precision, the results are EXCELLENT and BEYOND EXPECTATIONS. Rajendra?? VJP: Marches and processions should always be taken to their homes. One must consider avoiding making points in print such as --"seems his wife dislikes it" --simply cause things can get hardened/often do, on account
[Goanet] Emphatic Victories For Aam Aadmi
Emphatic Victories For Aam Aadmi Two very emphatic victories for the Aam Aadmi at last ! After a lot of representations and protests the people of Curchorem have somehow won their battle for a bypass road exclusively for the heavy mining traffic, two of the local leaders took upon themselves to go on an indefinite fast in protest against the proposed four-lane road from Quepem to Sanguem through Curchorem and in support of the by-pass road for the mining traffic. It has been a long and hard fight against the financial and muscle power of the mining fraternity who in cahoots with the politicians and the police were riding the rough sod over the local people for a long long time, a lot of innocent people lost their lives too, under the wheels of the mining trucks. Even after the apathy of our politicians and the authorities to resolve the problems, the people did not loose hope and continued their fight with courage and conviction against the erring mining traffic and the pollution they caused. Finally their efforts bore fruits, as the land acquisition process for the four-lane road has been halted and the by pass road process has been forced to expedite. Our government finally yielded to the power of the people. If it has been the collective efforts of the residents of Curchorem under the GRM that led to this emphatic victory, in Cuncolim it has been the fight of a lone ranger, facing the fire from the bigwigs in the Cuncolim Municipality and the local MLA. One farmer has been fighting tooth and nail to protect his fields, which sustains his large extended family. He has gone for courts to courts on this brave journey that ultimately culminated in him going on an indefinite fast to prove his point, his own lawyers hand in glove with alleged politicians took him for a jolly good ride even through the corridors of the supreme court, but he did not give up hope, for he knew that that his basic constitutional right to live was being violated by none other than the Urban Development Minister, Joaquim Alemao and the Cuncolim Municipality he supported. While elder brother the PWD minister Churchill Alemao has been giving nightmares, trying to destroy the lives of Goans along the national highways through it's expansions and people living on river banks by unwanted bridges, the younger brother Joaquim Alemao has been drawing his guns on poor farmers in Cuncolim. It looks like the brothers have conspired to irk Goans every which way they can. I salute Ajit Parulekar, Paresh Bhende who selflessly went on hunger strike to support their fight against the mining traffic and the eighty year old Vishnu, the lone farmer who fought with all he had to save his fields against overwhelming odds so much so that the urban development minister was made to eat the humble pie. Here is a person who has a will that has no parallel in Goa. I hope his acts will encourage others who suffer silently at the hands of politicians who think they are Gods on earth. We have two examples, one of a single handed effort, taking on the might and flak of the powerful politicians and that of a collective effort taking on the mining mafia and they are both invaluable in their own ways. They have remarkably established, that if there is a will, there is always a way. I hope every Goan takes a note of these two remarkable efforts and fight with courage and conviction to save what's left of our beloved Goa for us and our posterity.

[Goanet] Goanet Reader: Queen of Jackfruit Recipes ... (Shree Padre)
Queen of Jackfruit Recipes: Geethakka This housewife can make 300 jackfruit products! How many recipes can anyone make from world's biggest fruit -- the jackfruit? We don't know. But what we can vouch is that Geetha Narasimha Bhat (46) of Sagar, Karnataka -- Geethakka for her closer circle - can make well over -- hold your breath -- three hundred! Born in a GSB (Gowda Saraswath Brahmin) family of Hebri near Udupi, she grew up eating jackfruit in different ways. Her mother Sushilabai knew a lot of recipes. GSBs, as a community, are very fond of jackfruits. After her marriage to a farming family of Sagar 22 years ago, Geetha continued this tradition. Though she made many traditional recipes and many more of her creations, she never counted the number of recipes she knew until an interesting incident. It was about eight years ago. Activists of Krushi Prayoga Parivara, a local NGO had visited her. Amidst talks, those youngsters threw a friendly challenge to Geetha. They wanted to see how many recipes she could do for that day's lunch. It was ten in the morning. The plantain leaf on which lunch was served three hours later was full with jack preparations. One youngster exclaimed: "Geethakka, there are 37 items!" A team from ETV -- Kannada visited her and shot her preparing jackfruit recipes for three days continuously. It was the second time when she was made to count her recipes -- the number touched 130! The programme that was telecast for two weeks had demonstrated 45 to 50 recipes. Leading Kannada weekly, Tharanga asked her to write all these. She submitted 220 items -- out of which the magazine chose to publish 110. Thereafter she started writing all her recipes. She has already written 250. If you ask Geethakka which one of her recipes are her favorites, she can't pinpoint any. "Each one has a different taste", replies she, "It is only jackfruit that permits you to cook in amazingly diverse ways." In the jackfruit season that lasts for four months -- March to June -- very few days pass without the jackfruit cooking. "If I cut a jackfruit, I make something out of it for breakfast, 2-3 curries to go with lunch and one more snack for the evening coffee", she points out. Though she doesn't count, each year she must be making at least hundred different items from jackfruit for her family to eat! Unfortunately, though they are farmers, Geethakka doesn't have a yielding jackfruit tree till now. Every year she plants a few, but monkeys and wild boars destroy it. Now, two plants have grown into trees, but they are yet to yield. During the season, her brother brings a few jackfruits from Hebri. Neighbors present her with another few. "Still, if I had my own fruits, I would have utilized it more", she says with some regret. Her daughter Shobha, now studying in the first year B.Com also knows almost all these recipes. Shobha does some more experimentation of hers. All three children -- sons Vinayaka Bhat and Yogesh Bhat and Shobha -- are fond of jackfruit. Whenever mother plans to cook something, they too join hands by helping. Geethakka has given demonstration of her cooking in a few Jack Festivals in Sirsi, Thirthahalli etc. There are more invitations. But due to her family commitments, she is not able to travel far. Mamatha Bhat, a Sirsi housewife has learnt to make hundreds of jackfruit products from this recipe queen. It would have been a great contribution to the society if Geethakka's Jackfruit recipes are published in all south Indian languages and in English. Unfortunately this idea has not stuck to any publisher or organizations so far!

Re: [Goanet] SUCCESSFUL CURCHOREM AGITATION: CM made give assurance in writting
To Goanet - "SUCCESSFUL" ? I guess this means 3 cheers for the "brave" and "courageous" Digu then? (Ask Oscar Rebelo - he'll tell you a thing or two about Digu's bravery) Goans sure know how to set low standards. I mean, here is a case of setting the bar under ground level, walking over it, and then exulting that you have attained success. Let's put this in perspective: Digu is on the team of the miners IN OPPOSITION to the people of Curchorem on who the miners have rained ruin. Digu makes a big hoo-ha about not letting the miners shit directly on your home. Instead, he promises that the miners will shit in your garden. This is hailed as a great victory by all. Lovely. ps: Every project Goa's politicians initiate involves land use, land acquisition, land conversion, mining, or construction. For how long are Goans going to tolerate this? Apparently, forever.

[Goanet] Fw: Glorifying colonialism: Ignorance of history or slavish loyalty? Uday Bhembre, Jan 17, 2011, 05.05am IST
Editor Sir, Let me respond to Adv. Bhembre's insinuations and expose him as a communal mind at work. 1. Adv. Bhembre is one of the main persons to have included 'ONLY IN DEVANAGIRI' in the Official Language Act. The word Konkani should have and will have stood all on its own without this devious communal insertion. 2. Adv. Bhembre says that the Portuguese banned all regional languages in primary schools and promoted only Portuguese language. He is blatantly wrong here and his slip is showing. While Konkani was banned, Marathi flourished with Marathi Xhalas in place everywhere in Goa. Thanks to the two timing communal individuals like Adv. Uday Bhembre who preferred to tutor the Portuguese against Konkani. If this was not true, Uday Bhembre would have acknowledged this fact about Marathi primary schools flourishing during the Portuguese regime at the cost of Konkani. 3. 'Gaokaries' which later came to be called 'Comunidades' (thanks to the Portuguese) of Goa existed since prior to the 11th Century. The Portuguese acknowledged these as best systems of administration for villages and helped preserve the same by even writing the Code of Comunidades. Who destroyed them are the people like Adv. Bhembre with the aide of communal Bandodkar and communal instigator - Janardhan Shinkre who could not see a perfect system of management and who wanted the corrupt system that was offered by the neo-colonialist. INDIA. 4. My ancestors are Hindu and I have forgiven the Portuguese for their religious excesses. This because their model of administration was good and impartial. I have tasted a sample of it in my childhood. Bhembre and his ilk have lauded the entry of Indian colonizers into Goa and have taken advantage of this purely for communal reasons, tolerating the stench of corruption, which never existed during the Portuguese regime. Put the two administrations i.e. the Portuguese and Indian side by side and I will want to vomit on the Indian administrative system which is one hundred per cent corrupt and malafide. This has made me say that 'WE DO NOT WANT THE PORTUGUESE BACK, BUT WE WANT THE PORTUGUESE ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEM (RULE) BACK. 5. A colleague advocate of Uday Bhembre ...Adv. Amrut Kansar is on record to have publicly said " BANDODKAR IMPORTED HINDU BHATS (READ PRIESTS) FROM MAHARASHTRA INTO GOA TO POISON THE MINDS OF GOAN HINDUS. This imported Indian vicious communal poison has corroded Uday Bhembre's brains to the core for him to write what he has written above. 5. I proudly say that I am a GOAN, not Portuguese, and definitely not INDIAN. The Indian citizenship was forced on me through Goa's invasion in 1961. If the Portuguese skunks had not signed the co-operation treaty with Indian invaders in 1974, in the similar manner that they did not sign the treaty with Indonesia for East Timor, I would have today been fighting for Goa's independence from India just like Kay Rala Xanana Gusmao aka Jose Alexandre Gusmao, the 1st President of Independent East Timor. The Portuguese are the worst of them all. They have been humiliatingly thrown out of Goa through force. But they chose to come back with their tails between their legs and without asking GOANS what they had to say about them signing the treaty with India. 6. My chief ambition in the formation of GOA SU-RAJ PARTY is to use the democratic set-up that India has promoted in Goa (however vile it may be) to throw these unwanted and despicable High commands from Delhi, Nagpur and Maharashtra out of Goa once and for all and along with them Adv. Uday Bhembre and all other traitors of GOA , the New Delhi's main GOAN (CONGRESS) chamchas, for sure. If the Independence for Goa is not possible, then I shall vigorously fight for SPECIAL STATUS for Goa, that which has been promised by various high ranking 'charlatans' and which is still a distant dream. Cheers floriano goasuraj 9890470896 www.goasu-raj.org PS: I would be please if Adv. Uday Bhembre responds to this response. Glorifying colonialism: Ignorance of history or slavish loyalty? Uday Bhembre, Jan 17, 2011, 05.05am IST I wonder whether it is ignorance of the history of Goa, especially of the colonial period, or the slavish mentality acquired during the period of subjugation that leads some Goans to glorify the erstwhile Portuguese regime in Goa by distorting the truth, attaching to the Portuguese the virtues that they did not possess and drawing ridiculous conclusions. It is appalling that any Goan should use adjectives like 'progressive', 'reformist' or 'tolerant' to the Portuguese regime. In the history of the world, no colonial power was ever motivated by an urge to do good to the conquered people. Every colonial power exploited the conquered territory and the people for its own good. The Portuguese regime was no exception to that rule. Massacre of Muslims Soon after the conquest of Goa in 1

And now for a cure: with all the Con-Con health postings ( **yawn*) all cut, dried and pastedthe insides of your mouth will thank me. Go buy yourself a bottle of teel oil (sesame seed oil). Preferably get the extra virgin, if possible distilled in Sri Lanka. Gargle it each morning.going forward, you will not be looking for dentists names/recomendation. To clarify, your old problems will have to be dealt with the same old way but you don't have new dental problems. Ah, and don't forget, you own me all-I-can-eat maysoore-pak at Cafe Central, don't forget! Now for a dentist story of a late unqualified dentist called Pekan. You see, Pekan was an assistant to a well appointed and perhaps lazy Vasco-based dentist. The baatkaar-dentist, as was the practice in the old days would ask his assistant to do the small jobs. Pekan pick up the trade.. Very soon, word got around that Pekan was better at fixing the minor problems with ones teeth than the dentist himself. The customers poured in from meaty fish mongers to the sly and miserly baatkars...they all slipped in quietly, never with an appointment before the clinic opened in the morning or after the dentist took off in the evening! Ofcourse, the price was deep discounted, sometimes free if you were short of cash or 5 fresh mackerels if you were in the business. There were problems.sometimes, the fix did not go well or the bleeding did not stop. One never heard of these patients after, one assumes they suffered in shame or took to alchool. Then there was this story told over drinks. A Nordic man, in pain and need of an extraction showed up at the late hour..Pekan seated the man, the very tall man. Now out part-time dentist being short in stature climbed on a box to reach the man's problem area, got a grip on the problem tooth, instrument well in his grip pulled in full force..the box tilted and fell over, the instrument tight in Pekan's hands gripping the man's tooth, Pekan hanging in mid airafter some divine intervention, the man's tooth came loose, a little red fluid splashed all over.. Pekan has since passed on, his daughter successfully got her degree in dental medicine and now a practicing dentist.

[Goanet] O mainato/ modval or the laundry man
I have read many articles and info about the rendero, the poder (padeiro) but none on the mainato or modval. In Goa in our golden days (before 61 and even later) the modval would do the house laundry. Items were mainly bed linen, towels, pants, dresses etc. Santosh would come to our house twice a month to collect and deliver. Mode of transport was the famous Raleigh cycle. Clothes tied in a white cloth would be placed on the rear of the cycle. Before leaving the house Santosh was faced with a 'rol' ie.: the items he was taking to wash had to be jotted down and when he returned with the clothes neatly ironed and washed the 'rol' was repeated to counter check if any items were missing. The modval would use the local banho to wash clothes which were than strung on a rope between two madd. Here is an ode to our Goan mainato: Tres corpetas e um avental, Tres camisas e um enxoval Que freguesa deu a rol. BC

[Goanet] Successful curchorem agitation - CM made to give assurance in writing
Comments : Camilo Fernandes in response to Rajendra's below post : Kudos to the residents of Curchorem and especially to the leaders who took the initiative and succeeded in their agitation against the decision of the Government of 4 lanes. This is very ecouraging news as it proves that ultimately it is the power of the people which is supreme. It is the people/voters who can make or break a Government. Politicians once elected forget all their promises and even when pressurised dont listen to the people's wishes. Once in power all they are interested in is to amass wealth by any means fair or foul and ignore the genuine wishes of the people. They forget that they are accountable to the people. Goans should learn a lesson from this successful agitation and realize that if they are united and come together for the common cause, the politicians are forced , to listen and accede to their demands. Goans should not look only at their individual selfish gains (like the followers of Churchill Alemao who are adoring & praising him inspite of all his corruption, and ridiculing others standing against him) but look at the overall best future of Goa and Goans. Another important lesson to be learnt is what Rajendra Kakokdar wrote : " This was all possible only because we targetted two things 1) His personal residence (seems his wife dislikes this) 2) His voters (atleast 300 Margao voters made to think) We now know for certain that he does fear some things. We can now say that if agitations are genuine and managed professionally and with precision, the results are EXCELLENT and BEYOND EXPECTATIONS. Dev borem korum Camilo Fernandes From: rajendra kakodkar To: goanet@lists.goanet.org Subject: [Goanet] SUCCESSFUL CURCHOREM AGITATION: CM made give assurance in writting Today Curchorem people achieved?results they themselves never expected. CM was?forced to instruct Collector not to proceed with 4-lane against people's wishes. People insited on document in writing and CM was forced to do so. Collector, GP Naik?delivered the letter at?6.45 pm, after which the Fast was called off. 500 people?marched in cars, buses etc from Curchorem (7am)?to Margao residence of CM. The date was 9-2-11 and CM also as usual made a 9-2-11. Police SP, Tony informed CM that the cream of curchorem society had landed up there and it is unwise to take any hard steps against them.?In fact at one occasion the aggressive ones in the crowd went out of control and blocked the main Hari-mandir road and paralysed the traffic. But, Tony's feedback helped and no untoward thing happened. CM then requested agitators to send 5 people to Panjim. Agitators refused and insisted that he comes down to Margao. People were annoyed because: 1) CM?ignored the fasting agitators for?8 days, during which two?had to be?hospitalized. 2) He said he is not the CM of Curchorem but CM of Goa, implying that the woes Curchorem people are not important to him. Agitators then started contacting Margao voters and explained why they should not vote for Digu next time. Madgaokars always been sulking that they have to face long queues of trucks and dust pollution when they visit Zambaulim Damubab, the gram-dev of Madgaokars. They never knew who was responsible? They were informed that these trucks come from mines in which Digu had interest. This seems to?have hit?the bull's eye. CM then told the people that he has a solution and requested a delegation of agitators to come to Panjim, as he has to leave outstation. Some 10 people went to Panjim, while the crowd sat on the road at Margao. The crowd also took rally through the Margao town informing about mining misdeeds/curruption/loot and shouting slogans against the CM.?More than 300 Margao people also joined the rally at this?stage.? At Panjim, CM tried to dodge the 10 representatives. But?they had answers to every excuse of his. On two ocassions they showed him documentary evidence to prove his lies/ignorance. When made reasonless he?was forced to yield. CM said " if I were a Curchorcar and not the CM, I would also hurl stones at the trucks". We brought him back to the topic reminding him that we wanted rational results and not rhetorics.?? Agitators in Margao continued to expose Digu's mining exploits, excesses. To save the face the CM asked Churchill, Jose Philip and the Collector to meet us. They too had no words of conviction. When pushed on the back foot, Churchill played one-up-man-ship?by saying that he wants to go one step ahead of CM and scrap the 4-Lane in toto. This was all possible only because we targetted two things 1) His personal residence (seems his wife dislikes this) 2) His voters (atleast 300 Margao voters made to think) We now know for certain that he does fear some things. We can now say that if agitations are genuine and managed professionally and with precision, the results are EXCELLENT and BEYOND EXPECTATIONS. Rajendra
[Goanet] (Goanet) Meet beautiful Shakuntala de Mapuça
The following related article appeared in today’s O Herado: SHAKUNTALA FOUNTAIN REVIVED, FINALLY HERALD CORRESPONDENT Porvorim, Feb 9 The Shakuntala Fountain in the Mapusa market was finally revived after almost a decade. Chief officer of Mapusa Municipal Council (MMC) and MMC Chairperson Sudhir Kandolkar restored the Shakuntala fountain on Monday evening. The Shakuntala fountain is an important landmark of the Mapusa Municipal market. The fountain, which is at the entrance of the municipal market, was inaugurated in 1962 by Indian Military Governor Major General K.P. Candeth. The beautiful scene of non-stop water flowing from the Shakuntala’s pot is a treat to the eyes of the young and old. The fountain had lost its beauty to lethargic attitude of the municipal authorities. It has been years now that the Shakuntala fountain has stopped functioning, but MMC did not bother to make it functional and restore the beauty of the Mapusa market. The issue of Shakuntala fountain was highlighted by the media several times. Shiv Sena had also submitted a memorandum to MMC chief officer on December 1, 2010, requesting the council to make the fountain functional and restore the pride of the monument. Speaking to Herald, Chairperson Sudhir Kandolkar stated that MMC incurred Rs.15,000 for the restoration of the fountain. “Since nobody bothered to restore the fountain, it remained non-functional all these years. Except for electricity charges, no maintenance expenses as such are required to keep the fountain functional,” said Kandolkar. Moi-mogan, Domnic Fernandes Anjuna, Goa Mob: 9420979201

[Goanet] WHY NO ACTION AGAINST NUTAN SARDESAI?
While Judge Desmond D’Costa has been hauled up for allegedly expeditiously disposing one case against Mahanand Naik, no action has yet been taken against North Goa District Judge Nutan Sardesai against whom there are very serious allegations. The strictures against her were passed by the Bombay High Court itself in a matter connected to the River Princess which she had heard despite being a former employee of Mr. Anil Salgaocar. The High Court held that Judge Nutan Sardesai had totally misdirected and committed an error by directing the Goa government to refund Rs five and half crores to Jaisu Shipping Ltd even though there was no such demand by the company. The High Court also observed that Judge Nutan Sardesai had exercised her discretion contrary to the well settled principles of law and that she had committed a serious error in appreciating the evidence in the case. Besides hearing matters involving the interests of her former employer Industrialist Mr. Anil Salgaocar, Judge Nutan Sardesai contrary to judicial propriety and high standards of judicial ethics that is being sought to be laid down by the Supreme Court had also favorably heard a divorce matter relating to her own cousin brother. It’s time the High Court cracks the whip. We need to also get rid of some other unworthy and highly incompetent judges who continue to be a liability to the justice delivery system.

[Goanet] Please suggest me a good dentist
Please suggest me a good dentist Preferably from Panjim or I can even travel to Margao Less than a year i had my 2 teeth route canalled (RCT) each costing me Rs.1900 + 100 x-ray Total about Rs. 5500 including two minor fillings.. Guess what?? All the filling disappeared as if the substance used was substandard as in PWD roads? Some doctors think money grows on trees? It’s a rip-off, shame on such doctors My last dentist from Panjim was not a good one bit lazy I would say. I kept up with all my appointments but the dentist didn’t. Twice I had to go back home as the dentist was not at its place. One occasion the dentist phoned to say appt. Cancelled at the last moment. 5,000 is big money for something that last for less than a year. Some of you may think I eat too much of meat ( or bones) but no, I do that on an average once a week. I am fed up, every time I eat something I had to make use of tooth picks now, even for the fish. You help/advise would be appreciated Last year, the going rate for RCT was around 2,000 joego...@yahoo.co.uk for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc
