[Goanet-News] AUCKLAND: Alexyz to exhibit cartoons
Alexyz's Art Exhibition Date : February 5, 2012 Time :10:30 am - 1 pm Venue: Carmelite Convent Hall, Opposite Marceline College, 636 Mt Albert Road, Hillsborough, Auckland, New Zealand Goan visitor to exhibit cartoons this weekend By Venkat Raman 31/01/2012 09:38:00 A celebrated cartoonist of Goa will be in Auckland this weekend to speak on the subject of cartoons and display some of his funniest and thought-provoking works that have appeared in the media over the years. Alex Raphael Fernandes (popularly known as ‘Alexyz’) is one of the most prolific cartoonists of India with a number of popular newspapers and magazines regularly featuring his works. Former Goanz president Corvin Carvalho is organising the exhibition comprising 40 cartoons at the Carmelite Chapel (636 Mt Albert Road) in Hillsborough on February 5 from 1030 am to 1 pm. Entry to the exhibition and lecture is free and open to all. Mr Carvalho said Alexyz is known for his outspokenness and readiness to support any cause that fostered public interest and community welfare. “He is one of the most socially concerned cartoonists of Goa. His interests range from politics and current affairs to environment and sports,” he said. Born, raised and educated in Mumbai, Alexyz began his career as an art teacher but the pristine surroundings of his native Goa attracted him to its shores. He began drawing cartoons for local papers and soon established his reputation for quick-on-the-draw sketches, caricatures and cartoons that have found their way into the columns of major publications in India. Among them are Readers’ Digest, Indian Express, Illustrated Weekly (now ceased), Midday, Sportsweek, The Daily, Goa Today, (Goa) Herald, Navhind Times and Gomatak Times. Mr Carvalho said that like most cartoonists, Alexyz is funny, irritating and even exasperating. “For the past several years, he has given a fillip to fun-loving Goans. He is one the best-known and best-loved cartoonists of our State,” he said. The ‘Konkani Sonskrutik Somajik Kala Kendr’ of Taleigao (an academy of arts and culture) honoured him with the ‘Pedro Adao Award’ on January 23, 2012. The annual Award, comprising a citation and certificate is presented to outstanding persons in various fields, in memory of the late Portuguese Consul General in Goa.

To Goanet - Digu is currently studying the Monserrate-Suryanarayana scam, according to the local papers. Digu has been an exceptional student, one must say. He promised to also study the Aldeia de Goa missing file case when Oscar Rebello and gang showed up at his pad in Altinho in Nov 2007. Since Dr. Rebello later admitted to 'dancing footsie' with Digu, we presume Digu passed that particular exam with flying colours. r --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---

[Goanet] The Last Opportunity for Us Goans
*The Last Opportunity for Us Goans* What is the similarity between a politician wooing a voter and the financial industry wooing an investor? Both end up being dumped once they have done their job. The politician dumps the voter after the election, and financial industry dumps the investor after she has invested in a product or service. The voter and the investor do not have anyone to go to if they feel cheated. And this cycle continues and has continued and will repeat again this time in our Great Goan Election Carnival of 2012 unless we Goans unite this time, “Just a One Last Time’’ and chose Our Fate, Our Future and Our Destiny……….. Our gullible Goan voters are the most sought after during the election circus and carnivals but the least looked after the D-day. Politicians and policymakers claim that they exist for the People who elect them but they end up looking after the entities that give them maximum returns. These entities that have done harm to the electorate continue to flourish in the forms of Land Mafias and Russian invasions, Mining barons and polluted dust, PWD and Water scams, the drug-sex trades, land grabbing in MOPA, the Casinos, the gambling and prostitution dens, communal parties supported illegal bundhs like the dirty rotten BBSM style, Balli Violence, Goa Protectors, Protectors of Ramponnkars and all the illegal Builder-Police-Drug nexus which goes out to destroy our beautiful Goa and all its people. The destiny of Goa and all its ethnic Goans is at stake. We are the sons of soil, the electorate who are the stakeholders in our ever beautiful Goa. We love it and we nurture our mother Goa, our mother land. And it is up to us how we want it to be in the present and in our future. The politicians will now come at our doorsteps. They will beg us. They will bend on their knees. They will stoop very low and even fall at our feet. They will throw all their respect at our feet and if we wish they will even lick our boots. They will promise us all favours that will never be honoured except for the tiatrs, the dramas, the food and the drink. They themselves will be the tiatrists and beggars and will enact a good drama perfect enough to fool us and win us over. They will do it for our votes, our precious votes whose value is infinitely astronomically high. Do we realize it? We may not even know or realize this however they know this is our strength. They know we have the moves that can kick them where it hurts the most and thrown them out forever. They are vary about our power to bring them back on the streets. They know we are the people and it is our people’s power For the People, By the People and Of the People. But are we conscious of our strength? Have we realized this ever before? Are we going to realize it this time? Are we wise enough or are we going to be outsmarted by the foolish politicians this time too? Are we going to unite this time in one voice and decide our destiny? Are we looking forward towards Sustainability and brightness? Are we going to sell our votes for mere Rs. 2000 which works out to be a mere pittance of Rs. 5.47 per day? I am sure Even a Prostitute will not agree for that rate. So where do we stand with our high value vote. Are we going to be cheaper than the hapless Prostitute who does it for their survival due to their poverty or being exploited at some point of time? Are we going to be exploited or do we need to beg the politician for Rs.5.5 per day for our survival? Will we sell our soul, conscience and reasoning power in this election Carnival of 2012 and be a prostitute for the rest of our lives? We have seen many broken promises ever since Nehru termed us Goans as “Ajeeb”. We never got any special status for the last 50 years. The Congress promised us in the last election manifesto of 2007 and we haven’t seen the light of the day. However we saw Russian invasion, the custodial death of Cypriano, tribal displacements and land acquisitions in MOPA, denotification of Dabolim airport land acquired for parking, suspended police personnel reinstated and other crimes at the speed of lightning. We saw the Brit Teenager Scarlet Eden Keeling. We say water tanks in Varca. We heard Goans been called as squealing as Pigs. We are witnessing a rise of dynastic politics in the form of social workers without any mutual growth for the true genuine Goans. We saw the mining dust and even a few people like Francis Jivaji a young 26 year old anti-mining activist Bite the Dust. We saw dances with the politicians at May Queen Ball in Qatar. We saw hobnobbing with a new list of social entrepreneurs and social activists through Kuwait Goan Associations and other associations in middle east bragging for sponsorships for the traditional pride of Goa like the San Joao. We heard and saw the Shah Commission on mining as well as Balli Riots. Even the poor Fernandes family from Davorlim is crying for his land which has been notified to build a Khabrastan and
[Goanet] Goa, Goan, Hansard's
Thanks to Cyprian Fernandes' blog, I came across this very interest link: http://cyprianfernandes.blogspot.in/2011/07/goans-britains-favourite-migrants.html It goes back to 1976, and sections of the Brit Parliament voicing concerns about Goans entering the UK: http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/lords/1976/may/26/goans-uk-passports#column_262 I guess one could interprete it in many different ways. All interesting! The reluctance to take in the Goans by some (probably then seen much like we see the so-called Ghantis of today). Praise for their loyalty in Africa, etc...

[Goanet] GOA Toornto - Retirees and Friends - trip to GOA !
Toronto Goan Overseas Association (GOA) trip to Goa, India, Jan 2012 A new age of retired and senior members of the GOA has emerged. A group of fun-loving, young at heart folk who have finally reached the age when they can pick up their bags and escape the cold winters of Canada! This has been a practice worldwide for many years, very similar to the snow birds that migrate to Florida for the winter. This year, the GOA Retirees and Friends launched a new event. Earlier in 2011, I contacted Nick DeMello of Aerotours International, who worked tirelessly to put together a program tailored specifically to meet the needs of the GOA members. Flights, tours, hotel accommodation, entertainment, are all part of this exciting trip. The vacation is approximately two weeks, one in the North of Goa and one in the South with tours of ancestral Goa, the beaches, Spice Village, Garca Branca in Loutulim, etc. Some, however, have elected to stay on for a few more weeks and visit relatives, friends or just enjoy the sunshine and the beaches. An added option to this trip is the opportunity to visit the Taj Mahal in Delhi and/or the backwaters of Kerala. The members were allowed to plan their vacation to their own specifications if they so wished. Locally, we are approximately 40 members on the trip, but we are also being joined by a group of other Canadian and overseas Goan Association members. Lots of socializing and inter-action will be happening. The departure date for the trip is the week-end of January 22nd, 2012. The joy of visiting Goa never fades! The joy of visiting our mother-land, seeing the smiling local residents and relatives, and being received with such warmth, is an amenity no fancy Caribbean resort can ever compete with.

[Goanet] Banana Republic Congress Jamboree
Remember the day Tony de Sa was so perturbed by the state of the toilet in Panjim that he ran home and wrote an open letter to Digu. Poor Tony didn't know that Digu is actually indifferent to the sight and smell of shite. So indifferent is he to merde, that on the same day that Babush has been accused of taking bribes to the extent of 24 crores, the headlines read that Congress will in all probability be giving their ticket to Babush in Santa Cruz. So dear Tony, rest assured the pipe from the police station into the Mandovi River is not the only pipe funnelling merde into the River. Congress is effectively the most indifferent party to merde of every sort. There is not an ounce of moral fibre in this party. I hope to God, BJP comes into power. Five years of yatras, morchas, hurt sentiments at the drop of a hat, attacks on Bishops Palace, calling for change of road names, smashing of anything that looks Portuguese or Christian, cancelling of Christian holidays, suspicious VCDs with revisionist history don't sound so bad when compared to the general toilet Congress has managed to turn Goa into.

Then, there is the story of this Angelo de Fonseca's pencil/charcoal portrait, truly a Goan Mona Lisa huh? http://www.flickr.com/photos/goafurniture/sets/72157626466875452/ It took a few phone calls to identify the person in the subject in the picture (holding an infant if you look carefully) and likely a work by artist before he went North East. There are interesting pictures and the story, in particular pre-liberation. One chanced on a story of a P'guese offer who hid in an empty water tank for three days and managed to get on the last plane out of Dabolim. He sent his picture and a letter of gratitude to the family. So much said and alas, lately one is overwhelmed with stories of greed, deceitand the pettiness amongst Goans.

Re: [Goanet] Gomes showed signs of mental illness
The claim below is misleading and the exact opposite of what would be the case in reality from both political and legal standpoints. In the U.S. as well as in India, the fact that an incarcerated person is mentally ill is a big problem for the authorities. It would make them more culpable rather than absolve them from any responsibility. The authorities would try their best to deny the fact that she was mentally ill. They are very likely to be sued in this case. Please note that the Chicago Tribune article did not make this claim of absolution from alternate reality. I have noticed that other journalists in India have also engaged in poor reporting in this case. The following Times of India report claimed that she died in the jail, rather than the truth that she died in the hospital, 5 days after admission. http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-01-29/goa/30675502_1_jury-duty-hunger-strike-delta-airlines Cheers, Santosh - Original Message - From: Frederick Noronha f...@goa-india.org To: Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994! goanet@lists.goanet.org Cc: Sent: Wednesday, February 1, 2012 5:43 PM Subject: [Goanet] Gomes showed signs of mental illness Services set for Lake County Jail hunger-strike victim http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-services-set-for-lake-county-jail-hungerstrike-victim-20120126,0,6534162.story Gomes, a former Delta Airlines employee who had showed signs of mental illness, lived at a Vernon Hills hotel for the past two years.

Hundreds of people turned out at funeral services Wednesday for Lyvita Gomes, a native of India who died after a hunger strike in Lake County Jail.About 200 people attended Mass in Most Blessed Trinity Catholic Church in Waukegan, where the Rev. Daniel Hartnett posed questions about Gomes' death while offering spiritual comfort to her family. Indian Catholic community leaders, immigration reform activists and others joined about 500 who attended a visitation Tuesday night. During the funeral, Gomes' brother-in-law thanked the community for its support and said Gomes' death has raised the issue of social justice in the world. .The family and public at large wish to learn the truth about why she died, said Rodney Fernandes [ex-Dar-es-Salaam], whose wife, Lyemia, is Gomes' sister. The couple traveled from their home in England for the funeral. Was it because of her ethnic or immigration status or her mental status? he asked .

Rs 26 cr paid in kickbacks to Babush for land conversions Babush Monserrate - Received Rs 26.58 crores in 2006 for illegally converting orchard land into settlement. Now under the IT scanner. TEAM HERALD teamher...@herald-goa.com PANJIM:This has always been Goa’s worst kept secret. That huge amounts of kickbacks have been paid to the Town and Country Planning minister/department for conversions of lands into settlement. With the expose of the Income Tax assessment order of controversial bureaucrat N Suryanarayana where Rs 26.58 crore of monies have been paid to the then TCP minister Babush Monserrate, in 2006, cash for conversions happened in RP-2011. Where is the guarantee it didn’t happen for the RP 2021 plan. When Herald contacted Chief Town Planner Putturaju for his comments whether these huge tracts of orchard or agricultural land have now been converted in the RP 2021, he said. “I can give info only if you can give me the survey numbers,” adding “If you give me the survey numbers I will be more than happy to help as I too want to know what has happened.” If these lands have been marked as settlement in RP 2021, then it’s clear that the TCP is honouring bribes paid for the 2011 plan. This is the step by step process of the bribe route Step 1: Suryanarayana, who set up a syndicate to buy and sell land (as mentioned in a signed document, a part of the assessment order) paid a total amount of Rs 24.75 crore to two middlemen cum brokers. Pradeep Palekar, MD of Primeslots Properties Pvt Ltd for conversion of 11 plots of land. An amount of Rs 19.75 crore was paid during the period April to August 2006 to Sadiq Shaik at his residence in Dona Paula and in the office of Dinar Tarcar (chairman of Landscape Group) at Campal, Panjim, according to documents with the assessment order. Rs 4.99 crore was also paid through his wife, N Sunitha’s Andhra Bank account for the stopped purchase of lands. Step 2: According to investigations by the Income Tax Central Circle Panjim, this amount was used by the middle men to pay two major kickbacks to Monserrate through his companies totalling in value to Rs 26.58 crore in cash/cheque and in kind. The break up is Rs 11.8 crore for land at Sancoale to Good Earth Developers run by his son Rohit Monserrate, without any receipt of sale consideration and Rs 15 crore to Raj Hospitality Pvt Ltd in which Babush Monserrate is a director without any security or documentary evidence. This was paid by Sadiq Shaikh. “Facts and circumstances of the case suggest that the above(land transfer at Sancoale) is a sham transaction to pass on the payment in the form of land. The whole sequence of financial transactions between N Suryanarayana, Sadiq Sheikh and Babush Monserrate (as evidenced by seized page 42) were to reach Babush Monserrate. This transfer of land at Sancoale to Good Earth Developers is a colourable device to pay Atanasio (Babush) Monserrate directly.” Incidentally, Good Earth Developers is a partnership firm in which Rohit and Anand Chandra Bose, a prominent builder in Vasco are partners, according to the IT assessment order. What is important now is to know that these conversions for which bribes were paid for, did not happen, since in January 2007 Babush was made to resign and the RP-2011 was also scrapped. Despite all this, Sadiq Shaikh, a well-known builder who managed all conversions through the minister, promised that the conversion would take place through the same person sooner or later. The document says that the Suryanarayana syndicate paid Rs 24.75 crore to Sadiq for conversion. http://www.heraldgoa.in/News/Main%20Picture%20News/Rs-26-cr-paid-in-kickbacks-to-Babush-for-land-conversions/56405.html --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---

[Goanet] GBA Press Note post-IT raids in Goa
GOA BACHAO ABHIYAN 77, Defence Colony, Lane 4, Alto Porvorim, Bardez, Goa- 403521 Email:goabachaoabhi...@gmail.com __ GBA/2011/03 02 February, 2012 Goa Bachao Abhiyan has taken note of the land conversion issues related to the Regional plan in the context of the recently reported raids by Income tax officials on the premises of major real estate agents and builders in Goa. The GBA agitation since 2006 was precisely to save Goa from the large scale conversion of land to real estate and the huge illegal money that was generated which affected the identity and livelihoods of the locals. The RP 2011 was revoked and the new RP 2021 was formulated. GBA has been monitoring the Regional Plan 2021 to check for land conversions. In the income tax raids certain land deals for conversion were revealed. GBA has done a quick check of the status of the survey numbers of land in Final RP 2021. The Adarsh Realty from Bangalore owns land in Majorda bearing survey numbers 66,69 71 and 76 out of which the first three survey numbers are fields and are so indicated. in the Final RP2021. S.No 76 admeasuring 20,500 shown as settlement.Of this land 17,275 sq.m is shown as garden in Form I and XIV of the Directorate of Settlement Land Survey. The same Adarsh Realty owns 72, 000 sq.m land In Cavelossim survey no 134 admeasures 1,81,225 sq m. Out of which 1,40,425 sq,m is garden land and 40,050 sq.m shown as rice field. The final RP 2021 states that conversion of the rice field is subject to the approval of Directorate of agriculture. As such of date no conversion has been given. In Varca survey no 205.206.212 and 213 are owned by Adarsh Realty admeasuring 82,000 sq. m. The survey nos 205, 206, 212 are marked as settlement in Final RP 2021 and 213 is shown as rice field. In survey number 212 there is 40,350 sq m of rice field and in survey no 205 there is 4256 sq, m of rice field . Conversion of these rice fields requires the prior approval of Directorate of Agriculture . This needs to be investigated. One Mr Hirachand Bafna has been named as owning land admeasuring 2,11,300 in Galgibag Canacona , survey number 189/1. The national highway passes through this area. The Final RP shows a strip of settlement adjacent to the highway and another strip adjacent to survey number 187. The major portion of the land is orchard in RP 2021. Survey number 194/1 owned by Annant Vishnu Naik and 3 others was bought by Sadique Shaik and transferred to Good Earth Developers. Reports indicate that Rohit Monserratte and Annand Chandra Bose are associated with the company. The land admeasuring 2,37,025 is shown as settlement area. Incidently, this area is near BITS Pillani Sancoale campus is part of the Mormugao PDA.[not in RP 2021 thus far] GBA has been demanding that the ODP areas also follow the No Development Zones for steep slopes and all eco sensitive zones. The procedure followed by Mormugao PDA needs to be investigated. GBA is in the process of checking out the land records and status in RP2021 of properties named by IT authorities. Many suggestions that have been submitted to TCP dept as part of corrections to RP 2021 are requests for conversion of zones to settlement. GBA requests the people of Goa to check the zone status in their neighborhood Sabina Martins GBA Convenor -- Visit www.savegoa.com --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---

Re: [Goanet] Goa, Goan, Hansard's
Hmmm ... interesting. 1) Is the noble Baroness aware that Goa sent representatives for many years to the Portuguese Parliament, so it was closely allied with Portugal and Goans spoke Portuguese? (Lord Orr-Ewing) I should add, as early as 1834 (Bernardo Peres da Silva of Neura). Francisco Luis Gomes would represent Goa at the Portuguese Courts from 1861 to 1869. 2) Is she aware that when I was last in Portugal, before this revolution, the representative of Goa was then sitting in the Portuguese Council?

[Goanet] AUCKLAND: Alexyz to exhibit cartoons
Alexyz's Art Exhibition Date : February 5, 2012 Time :10:30 am - 1 pm Venue: Carmelite Convent Hall, Opposite Marceline College, 636 Mt Albert Road, Hillsborough, Auckland, New Zealand Goan visitor to exhibit cartoons this weekend By Venkat Raman 31/01/2012 09:38:00 A celebrated cartoonist of Goa will be in Auckland this weekend to speak on the subject of cartoons and display some of his funniest and thought-provoking works that have appeared in the media over the years. Alex Raphael Fernandes (popularly known as ‘Alexyz’) is one of the most prolific cartoonists of India with a number of popular newspapers and magazines regularly featuring his works. Former Goanz president Corvin Carvalho is organising the exhibition comprising 40 cartoons at the Carmelite Chapel (636 Mt Albert Road) in Hillsborough on February 5 from 1030 am to 1 pm. Entry to the exhibition and lecture is free and open to all. Mr Carvalho said Alexyz is known for his outspokenness and readiness to support any cause that fostered public interest and community welfare. “He is one of the most socially concerned cartoonists of Goa. His interests range from politics and current affairs to environment and sports,” he said. Born, raised and educated in Mumbai, Alexyz began his career as an art teacher but the pristine surroundings of his native Goa attracted him to its shores. He began drawing cartoons for local papers and soon established his reputation for quick-on-the-draw sketches, caricatures and cartoons that have found their way into the columns of major publications in India. Among them are Readers’ Digest, Indian Express, Illustrated Weekly (now ceased), Midday, Sportsweek, The Daily, Goa Today, (Goa) Herald, Navhind Times and Gomatak Times. Mr Carvalho said that like most cartoonists, Alexyz is funny, irritating and even exasperating. “For the past several years, he has given a fillip to fun-loving Goans. He is one the best-known and best-loved cartoonists of our State,” he said. The ‘Konkani Sonskrutik Somajik Kala Kendr’ of Taleigao (an academy of arts and culture) honoured him with the ‘Pedro Adao Award’ on January 23, 2012. The annual Award, comprising a citation and certificate is presented to outstanding persons in various fields, in memory of the late Portuguese Consul General in Goa.

Robots with power are worse. I also suggest that we should get rid of this ethnic excuse - even though we know that it exists.

Re: [Goanet] (JC) Doctrines of Quiet Repose (GF)
1.This shall be my last post on this subject. 2.I admire the ability of my good friend JC to so adroitly shift attention from LIMITATION to OBITER /RATIO 3 Merely to keep the record straight LIMITATION refers to a doctrine in law ,colloquially called Doctrine of Quiet Repose which in the realisation that human affairs should go on peacefully by not being saddled with controversial issues/quarrels of the past ,lays down specific periods after which an action cannot be commenced and sustained in the Courts of Law to enforce any rights,obligations or interests. It is a pragmatic doctrine which helps Life to move on unhindered by past animosities, through raising a procedural barrier against wallowing in the dirt and mire of the past. Limitation denudes a person of enforcing a perceived right. 4 Different periods are prescribed for different actions. There are exceptions to this doctrine, and which exceptions are a matter of Public Policy decided by the Legislatures in a democratic polity. 5.OBITER refers to observations made by a Court of Record whilst deciding a case before it. ' OBITER would not bind a Court of concurrent jurisdiction. ie observations made a Division Bench would not bind another Division Bench of the same Court. 6. However OBITER of the Supreme Court of India on a specific subject would bind, in the hierarchy of Courts in India, (the High Courts in India being subordinate to the Supreme Court of India) the lower Courts when deciding another specific issue on the same subject,content and context.It is a binding guideline to the Lower Courts, not an idle expression of whim or personal fancy. 7.It can be readily discerned that LIMITATION and OBITER operate in different fields. LIMITATION merely by the sheer efflux of time extinguishes the remedy. OBITER operates in the field when an action is validy instituted when not extinguished at the very outset by LIMITATION Regards, Gerry --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---
