[Goanet] AAP takes responsibility

2013-12-29 Thread Nelson Lopes
AAP Takes wings

Adjustments be it in politics or life are a must. Specially in politics all
is fair like in love and war. The AAP is the first time star on the
political horizon. It was a shocking victory much beyond expectations. The
people  and specially the generation next, the female voters have all given
the AAP a resounding victory., It has conveniently demolished  for once,
decisively that big names, influence and  money  and muscle power cannot
tilt the balance .The BJP or the Congress have lost their calculations
badly and all their projections have gone awry, so much so the Congress V.P
.had to humbly admit  that  a   century old NMational  and historical party
colapse of the monolith will be  rebuild t  on the  experiences of AAP, He
 has been honest enough to give credit where it is due. Kejrival is like
 the Goliath in the defeat of Sheila Dixitt, who was dreaming of 4th term
in office

AAP had admitted of having no truck with either of National parties,
Congress cannot see eye to eye with BJP and they did not want BJP to ascend
the throne in Delhi nor did they want another debacle of humiliation in
fresh  , uncertain elections  The people have through the opinion poll have
given the mandate  to try the formation of Govt. with the unconditional
support of the Congress. They were already accused of only being best at
protesting and shying away from governance.

To carry out the reforms promised and expected, the support of Congress is
vital. Congress is expected to pull the rug sooner than later. It is then
the voters will understand their political chicanery and realise why
AAPwas reluctant to take their support

The AAP has to thread cautiously and settle down and honestly attempt to
deliver their promises. There are many implications in fulfilling the
wishes of the people and what has not been delivered for the past many
years cannot be done so fast. The bureaucracy owing allegiance to the past
Congress party has to be tackled for the hindrances they can cause and have
to be dealt firmly and with tact

People and voters will watch closely their performance as the expectations
are high, but they should be given enough time to settle down. Immediately
they have taken austerity measures to show their intentions Let us wait and
watch, but at the same time be patient not to push AAP to the brink having
to depend upon the Congress

[Goanet] MUSIC: A Goan College Choir is Born ... performance on Jan 4, 2014, KA (Les Menezes)

2013-12-29 Thread Goanet Reader
A Goan College Choir is Born

BY LES MENEZES

In April 2012, the film producer of "Mother Teresa", a film to be shot
in Goa, asked Kala Academy if they could provide a choir to sing "Lead
Kindly Light". This hymn, taught to Mahatma Gandhi by the Englishman
C.F. Andrews, became his favourite and, later, Mother Teresa's too.
The choir was hurriedly brought together by Jean Kalgutkar and Valerie
Vaz. However, the shooting was cancelled. But the Choir did not die:
the students from various colleges in Goa were fired with the idea of
forming a College Choir.

Nine months later, in December 2012, the College Choir of Kala Academy
came into being through the innovative nurturing of Jean Kalgutkar,
the Choir teacher at Kala Academy, and the encouragement coupled with
a generous grant from Vishnu Wagh, Chairman of Kala Academy. The Choir
immediately established itself by leaving large memorable footprints
in Goa. Greatly assisted by Elvina Fernandes and Ashley do Rego it
participated in the HELP Carol Competition, the Kala Academy Carol
Festival, the Carmelite Monastery (Margao) Christmas Concert Concert
and the Inauguration of the Mermaid. All four events in two weeks in
December 2012! Their exuberant enthusiasm was irresiisitble.

2013 saw them take significant strides, featuring in the Kala Academy
Annual Day in April and The Kala Academy Founder’s Day, 19 August.

And now they stand on the threshold of their debut concert on January
4, 2014 at Kala Academy with a full concert featuring "Lead Kindly
Light", the hymn that fostered the genesis of the choir followed by
"Poili Santa Kurusachi Kuru", a Konkani Invocation arranged by Victor
Paranjoti and re-arranged by Jean Karlgutkar. A German 14th Century
Round "Personent Hodie" accompanied by two violins brings the opening
section to a close.

The challenge of A Capella singing is taken up in four songs spanning
the Renaissance and Baroque periods: "Gloria Patri" by Giovani
Palestrina (1525-1594), "Sing We and Chant It", a madrigal by Thomas
Morley (1557-1603), "De Profundis" by Henry Purcel (1658-1695) from
Ancient Hymns and Canticles, "O Sacred Head" from the St. Mathew
Passion by J.S. Bach (1655-1750). A Capella singing is particularly
difficult and a test of any choir because the voices harmonise without
any accompaniment to guide them and keep them in perfect pitch.

Jumping centuries and switching styles, they vary the pace, tone and
mood with: "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" written in the style of a Bach
Chorale; "Drink to me only", a traditional love song; "Perhaps Love"
written by John Denver and popularized by him and Placido Domingo; the
ever popular "Home on the Range"; and, a Konkani Boat Song arranged by
Victor Paranjoti. The concert comes to a close with a Dravidian
Dithyramb, a Greek song of praise based on a Carnatic rag by Victor
Paranjoti.

The members of the Choir are a multi-college and multi-discipline
group coming together once a week united in their music making to
rehearse with great zeal and enthusiasm. Their Debut Concert on 4th
January, 2014 at Kala Academy will showcase their varied talents
finding one voice.

[Goanet] WILL MANOHAR PARRIKAR EMULATE ARVIND KEJRIWAL?

2013-12-29 Thread Aires Rodrigues
Its a step in the right direction with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal
deciding that he and his Ministers will neither use the red beacon nor
those police escort jeeps.


On March 9th last year after his much publicized swearing in ceremony on
SAG grounds at Campal, Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had similarly
announced that he would never ever use those police escort jeeps. But that
promise like most of his other tall promises were meant to be broken with
Manohar Parrikar in a U turn soon deciding to use two police escort jeeps
besides a huge posse of policemen guarding his official and private
residences.


All these policemen could have instead been deployed on the streets of Goa
to curb the very high levels of crime that the State is currently engulfed
in with even the ruling party MLA Vishnu Wagh recently manhandled and his
vehicle damaged in a dastardly attack allegedly masterminded by Chief
Minister Manohar Parrikar himself.


There is no point faking to be an Aam Aadmi, as deeds speak louder than
words. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar should bury his ego and shun his
very high levels of arrogance by emulating Arvind Kejriwal in ensuring that
he along with his ministers besides other government officials also stop
flashing the red beacon.
