 The Goan community has not supported
 Milena Marques-Zachariah?s considerable efforts these past
 few years in running North America?s only on-the-air Radio
 broadcasts through a city studio every Saturday evening.
 
 The Manglorean community on the other
 hand pushed its weight behind her effort with both
 volunteering and finances but their support alone was not
 enough.
 
 Congratulations Milena for your hard
 work for our community?s so called lingua franca and may we
 continue to benefit elsewhere from your many talents.

 The Last Requiem for Goa was sung not
 with Manohar Parrikar planning to massively ?increase
 tourist footfalls? in the coming years as VM?s article
 claims, but with Goans adopting the greed and corruption
 culture of Indian society not too long after 1961.
 
 One can understand (not forgive or
 tolerate)  the likes of an Alemao coming from an
 education-lacking poor family getting hold of the reins of
 power and using it to personally profit from loot and
 plunder, but one can neither understand nor forgive people
 like the former CM, or as many allege the current Office
 Holder who come from an educated and wealthy background
 doing the same thing though they should have known better.
 
 While a certain quantum of poor
 governance would have been inherited from 450 years of
 Portuguese rule, the massive turn for the worse took place
 among Goans in less than a generation.
 
 Goans who lived in Bombay seeing the
 slow change from British-inherited  values and
 principles established in that city to Indian-style
 democracy and chaos, could easily foretell where ?liberated?
 Goa was headed. The only surprise was not only how fast but
 how severely it did.

GL responds:
Goans appear to excel at blaming someone else for their pitiful situation.  
There is no reason for politicians to be corrupt and even less logic for the 
electorate to keep repeatedly electing them even after they have been charged. 

But dose it make sense to  "Cut one's nose to spite one's face?"  Or is it the 
height of folly especially for an intelligent and articulate Goan.   

As we sing the "Last Requiem for Goan Tourism" does the author or folks who 
participate in that song have any suggestion for alternate jobs for the tens of 
thousand of Goans who directly and indirectly depend on tourism for their daily 
livelihood? 

Just because one's own job does not depend on tourism there is no reason to 
disparage an industry that is the biggest sector of the economy.  Just take 
away tourism, what will sustain Goa and Goans?  An tech industry?  An 
agricultural economy?  A fisheries industry?  An education system which 
attracts a lot of foreigners?

If Goans have a problem with the local govt, then participate in it (as is doe 
in the rest of world).  Run for office, attend meetings and open forums, 
organize local focus groups.  Writing in a national or international forum is 
not gong to solve some local water drainage problem. It is cop-out or feel 
good-solution that gets no-where.  Merely talking has been the solution in past 
(adopted by sussegad Goans) while the hardworking individuals rolled up their 
sleeves and got innovative or emigrated to then support a "remittance economy."
The mental attitude of some Goans needs a "Requiem"

REGARDING GOVERNMENT FREE LED BULBS-- It has not been even a year and one 
bulb is on the way out! When switched on, it now is very dim and it takes 
several attempts to ignite. There is no problem with the privately purchased 
LED bulbs which are guaranteed for 2 years.. The boast was tolerating low 
voltage, long life. Wonder what the procedure for replacement of defective 
bulbs will be, and what was the contract with the Company that 
manufactured/supplied these bulbs to our benevolent goverment!

INDIAN U-17s ‘LIVE THEIR DREAM’ OF PLAYING IN A FIFA WORLD CUP



*NEW DELHI: *The experience of playing in a FIFA World Cup is surreal
according to many. The Indian U-17 National Team players were no different
when the young colts became the first ever Indian team to participate in a
FIFA Tournament, the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017.



The colts were left in a surreal state of mind after the match, as many had
just ‘live their dream.’

[Goanet] MHADEI WATER DISPUTE A GOLD MINE FOR ATMARAM NADKARNI

[Aires Rodrigues]

The Mhadei water dispute drama ncould drag on for decades.  This battle
which infact involves the three neighbouring states of Karnataka,
Maharashtra and Goa must in public interest be resolved amicably. The three
neighbours should see reason to seek the intervention of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi to reach an amicable and peaceful settlement.

The cash strapped Goa has already spent crores by way of legal fees paid to
Atmaram Nadkarni and his bandwagon of advocates which includes his own
family members. Atmaram Nadkarni is on record claiming that he is appearing
in the matter because of his love for Goa. If that be so, the flamboyant
former Advocate General of Goa should have volunteered his services
gratis instead
of over exorbitantly billing the State and merrily bleeding the exchequer.

This water dispute needs to be brought to an agreeable close because
it’s dragging
on is something Goa desperately cannot afford to sustain the mounting
Mhadei legal fees.

In public interest let not more crores be poured down the drain on this
water dispute between neighbours. It is a criminal and unjustifiable waste
of public funds which only works to the benefit of the Advocates making hay
while milking and drying the State coffers. And Goa’s coffers are already
in dire straits.

[Goanet] Victoria and Abdul

[Roland Francis]

A magnificent movie just premiered today in Toronto.Based on the following true 
story with outstanding costumes and depictions from the heydays of the Raj. 
Judy Dench magnificent in her many previous roles as Queen, was specially 
suited to Victoria as was the little known Indian Muslim actor to Karim.A few 
laughs and a lot else to commend it. Not a movie to miss.


“In 1887, soon after Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee, Abdul Karim arrived with 
several other Indians at the Royal Household to attend the Queen.
The 24-year-old Abdul Karim was ‘tall with fine serious countenance’. 
Originally a clerk in Agra, Queen Victoria promoted him to be her native 
language teacher known as a Munshi, teaching her Hindustani. A favourite, he 
was elevated to the post of ‘Indian secretary’ in 1894 to assist the Queen with 
her ‘boxes’ and correspondence. He was given titles and cottages. Victoria also 
had his portrait painted. This attention displeased the Royal Court, leading to 
several intrigues maligning his character, as Lord Ponsonby’s letter shows.
After Queen Victoria’s death in 1901, he was sent back to India and his papers 
were burnt. No further royal servants from India were appointed.”
