[Goanet] Press Note for kind favour of Publication - Re: New 'Shacks' Policy
The Goa Su-Raj Party appreciates the efforts put in by the Manohar Parrikar Government to bring out a new ' Beach-Shacks' policy, which reduces the number of 'shacks' on Goa's cluttered and crowded beaches, and has also put a 'SUPERVISORY' ingredient into the policy to maintain law and order on the tourists-infested Goan Beaches during the season. Also, the direction to restrict the 'music' as well as 'lighting' in the shacks near the known Turtle Nesting sites is much appreciated. This appreciation comes in the wake of the Manohar Parrikar Government going ahead with a restrictive 'beach-shacks' policy even when it's own Calangute MLA has been campaigning for a pro-indiscriminate beach-shacks policy. However the Party feels that the policy could be even tighter, and as such, it is not good enough as per this Party's stated preferences to keep the Goan beaches free from commercial activities and the nuisance that this activity creates driving the more acceptable and paying tourists, as well as the local beach-loving citizenry, away.

Re: [Goanet] Suria - Cricket commentator.
I was first confused at Eric's post but now that Marshall has clarified I can say something about Suresh Saraiya. Very few people knew that Suresh was weak in spoken and written English and it's a surprise that he went on to become a famous commentator. To begin with, Suresh worked for the Central Bank of India. During lunch breaks and in the evenings, he used to go to the Oval Maidan near Churchgate and watch cricket matches and would try to give commentary on the matches. After years of practice, he felt he was ready for the job. He idol was John Arlott, the legendary British commentator. He was a master in getting around people and would court those in influential positions. After all, he was a PR person at the bank. He used his PR skills to request higher-ups in AIR to give him a break -- and he went on to be a regular in the commentator's box. HeBecause of his limited commentary, his commentary was like a written script. Unlike Anant Setalvad, who I think was a lawyer, Suresh couldn't go on a lengthy discussion on the finer points of cricket. He played cricket for his college. I knew him well, and we would go for some vadas at a nearby Udupi restaurant near by office. In the Press Box we used to joke about him and his English, particularly his Gujarati accent. He would laugh and take it in his stride.He was a good-hearted man. Sad to know he passed away in July at the age of 76. The best of the commentators who told lot of inside stories about cricketers was Dicky Rutnagar, who settled down in England. Eugene

[Goanet] Andy Williams R.I.P.
When the world's favourites, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin stopped enthralling audiences for good, there was a kind of end-of-the-road feeling amongst music lovers. Fortunately, there were the likes of Andy Williams still carrying on the torch. And now, Andy too is gone and I suppose the show will go on, nevertheless.

[Goanet] Think 2012.
Last year Tehelka (the magazine) had organized the programme in Goa, too. At the time, there was a report that the organizers had demanded Rs 150 lakhs from the Goa government. They eventually settled for Rs 50 lakhs. I do not know if this included the two dinners that they hosted for the participants in the programme. This year the programme is in early November. The details are available at: http://thinkworks.in/ I understand that last year Remo refused to participate in the programme on account of the owner of the hotel where it was held it is the same place this year too. Does anyone know if any prominent Goan is participating? Or whether the Goa government is making any financial contribution, either in cash or kind? Best regards, U. G. Barad
