Re: [Goanet] Clarifying Moment? How Stupid! Here's A Defining Moment

Hi Jim, 

You're very funny! 
I will be in New York again in 10 days - can we meet up?

My daytimes are unfortunately taken up by meetings, but 
we can do dinner one night - except for the Sunday when 
I'm taking in the Carol King concert on Broadway. I'm in 
NY the 16th-20th February at the Wyndham New York, 
481 8th Ave New York NY 1001.

It would be nice to meet up with any other Goanetters in NY, 
I've not really tried before, so this is as good an opportunity 
as any - Venantius, Tony Barros? I can get out to Jersey in 25min:)
If so, I can look you up/send me a pic. Moi - here's me most 
recently in Dec with Freddie Boy (hey, I AM trying to lose weight!)

[Goanet] NEW BOOK: A Life's Journey -- Opa, Goa to Cleveland, USA via.... (Ravi Gaonkar)

2017-02-05 Thread Frederick FN Noronha * फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا
Most Goan expats are thought to be Catholic. This is a story from the Hindu
Goan diaspora (to the US), and makes for an interesting read. The writer is
an engineer, whose words give insight into the Goa of the 1960s and
subsequent.

How Gaonkar got the chance to travel abroad, his fright over health issues,
struggling to make it in a new land, and his experience with a Marathi
(ex-Maharashtra) teacher turned freedom fighter all make for interesting
reading.

382 pp. Rs 450. Translated by Sheela Jaywant.

Available at Varsha Book Stall, near Azad Maidan, Panjim.

[Goanet-News] NEW BOOK: Govyeantil Nivadnuka -- Vidhansabha va Loksabha 1963-2014

2017-02-05 Thread Frederick FN Noronha * फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا
Elections are like one big cricket match; except the latter doesn't require
spectators to be goaded into joining, as the radio and media in general
seek to do in these pre-poll days in Goa. Anyway, statistics form a
critical part about elections too, and this book is all about that.

This book is by a *Tarun Bharat/Gomantak/Dainik Herald* journo. It has
sections (in Marathi) covering Goa's first to 11th legislative assembly
elections, BJP's first formation of a government in Goa, political
instability, countermanding, presidential rule, in short an overview and
also a detailed look at electoral politics here.

Its next section deals with the Lok Sabha elections. in 16 different
sections. The second-last ends with the elections of 2014 (while the last
focuses on MPs elected/nominated to represent Goa since 1962).

>From page 119 to 250 is a section in English offering detailed results of
assembly elections. In my view, a useful book for the political scientist,
journalist or just about anyone interested in keeping track of how votes
are collated to make for winning alliances, split up and fractionalised to
ensure the defeat of some, and otherwise manipulated (sometimes innocently,
at other times in keeping with the negative connotations of this word).

Of course, needs reading in between the lines too.

Like the other two books, this one too is available from the Varsha Book
Stall, near Azad Maidan in Panjim. Reasonably priced, and a useful work of
documentation and (if you can read Marathi) analysis.

MD...you probably missed what FN was really saying about the "Second Class
Passenger syndrome".

He is (obviously) saying that RULES of occupancy do NOT apply. FN is surely
(also) saying: Hey ! IF we can deal with lack of resources because of
inadequate planning, WHY cant you?
