Patoienchem Fest (the feast of the coconut-and-jaggery sweet packed in
leaves) was celebrated on Independence Day 2014 in the church grounds of
Socorro village, Bardez,. This year's theme was the coconut with over
thirty dishes being served. Villagers prepared a feast -- where everything
was free for all who cared to come. Sur (toddy), pudde, sanna, vhon,
patoieo (all traditional Goan sweets) with later a meal of rice, samarchi
coddi (spicy yellow coconut prawn-curry). There was also entertainment for
all. This event was organised by the Socio-Art and Cultural Association,
Porvorim. In keeping with the unique style of its organisers, it had no
sponsors, no chief guests and no prizes! Yet everyone appreciated

2014-08-15 Thread Gabe Menezes
In his first Independence Day speech as prime minister, Mr Modi may claim a
success, certainly for his style, call for reconciliation and for raising
social concerns. But the bold leader, certainly in economic reform, is yet
to show himself.

Pandanus, screw pine, Pandanus livingstonianus
The female tree produces flowers with round fruits that are also 
bract-surrounded. The individual fruitis a drupe, and these merge to varying 
degrees forming a multiple fruit, a globose structure, 10–20 centimetres 
(3.9–7.9 in) in diameter, and have many prism-like sections, resembling the 
fruit of the pineapple. Typically, the fruit changes from green to bright 
orange or red as it matures. Pandanusfruit are eaten by animals including bats, 
rats, crabs, elephantsand monitor lizards

Usually found seaside

[Goanet] THE CASE FOR JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE

2014-08-15 Thread Aires Rodrigues
On the eve of the 68th Independence Day the Narendra Modi government as
expected has hit the last nail on the independence of the Judiciary by now
giving the politicians a say in the appointment of Judges to the Supreme
Court and the 24 High Courts across the country. Our country has seen some
outstanding and refined Judges who have brought great honour and esteem to
the temples of Justice. With the retirement of Chief Justice of India
R.M.Lodha next month that tribe may now become extinct. The politicians
will now ensure that only their manageable and handy choices are chosen as
Judges.

In Goa the critical health of the Judiciary is a matter of grave concern.
The controversial Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni has anointed himself as
the super Chief Justice of the State. It was not envisaged that an Advocate
General would operate as a liaison officer bartending between the
government and Judges. While the Advocate General shamelessly appears in
cases for and against the government he has taken professional ethics to
the gutters. Even those in the world’s oldest profession do it better. It
is the Atmaram Nadkarni brigade that is high-handedly and unethically
ruling the roost. Infact if you want to file a petition against the Goa
Government or even the Central Government, the Advocate General Atmaram
Nadkarni should be your first and only port of call. He will craftily guide
you through your vows if you are ready to be milked dry.

Sorrowing lies the state of Goa’s Judiciary with the national flag sadly
raised half mast, but we need to relentlessly battle to restore and regain
the much needed glory and independence of our Judiciary by freeing it from
the clutches of the sharks led by Atmaram Nadkarni and his coterie.
