B.I.B.L.E. - Behold I Bring Life Eternal

*



Matthew 19:23-24





23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Amen, I say to you, it will be hard
for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.


24 Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of
a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

[Goanet] [Photo Blog by Rajan Parrikar] Rauðibotn - Take 2

[Rajan Parrikar]

Photo Blog by Rajan Parrikar has posted a new item, 'Rauðibotn - Take 2'

A Beauty in Red.

Years ago I flew over this crater in a Cessna and the images from that
assay were less than satisfying. I made another attempt last month,
and this time I hiked into the area with a drone.

[Goanet] Sunshine... (without the KC Band)

[Frederick Noronha]

By the way, couldn't help noticing this: saw the sun in Goa after almost
4-5 days!

Now this is not the kind of comment one would expect out of what is
supposedly India's sunshine state!

[Goanet] Portugal, Goa... and Covid19

[Frederick Noronha]

By the way, couldn't help noticing this, the entire of Portugal has fewer
Covid cases each day than Goa itself!

TODAY'S PUBLICO:

Covid-19. More than 300 people "potentially involved" in the Mora outbreak
- which may have reached Montemor-o-Novo

Another death, 132 infections and 103 recovered in Portugal. China approves
patent for vaccine that can "be mass produced in a short period of time".
There are more than 21 million confirmed cases worldwide and 13 million
have already been recovered. India has exceeded the 50,000 deaths caused by
the new coronavirus.

Re: [Goanet] Aspects of Life in the Goa of Yore: The First Mass (Marcos Gomes-Catao)

[Sonia Gomes]

Marcos Gomes Catao was a lovely person, I liked his stories about Africa.
Having come to Goa as a very young person my memories are usually those of
other people. So Marcos regaled me with so many stories and anecdotes.

I will miss his very optimistic attitude, his infectious energy and of
course his jokes. I am glad I got in touch with him.

My deepest condolences to his wife Jean and his children.

Just one of his pieces can be read on my Blog @

[Goanet] GOA RAVE PARTIES

[John Eric Gomes]

POLICE UNABLE PREVENT RAVE PARTIES EVEN DURING COVID DANGER
Despit the scuffle at a party held in Arpora earlier this month, where 
reportedly only the caretaker of the private villa was booked, presumably due 
to the influence of the participants, another rave party  was held with 3 women 
foreign nationals, 23 including a former bollywood actor participants and drugs 
worth 9 lakhs were ceased at Vagator! These are not all outsiders but many of 
our youth taking part with possibility of violence and perhaps leading to other 
illegal activities! Such illegal activity is common knowledge to most residents 
and police in the Calangute belt since long back. The present DGP M.K.Meena 
says police are monitoring, took immediate action as soon as they received 
information etc. The question is why has not these drug related activities been 
stamped out to date? Why is there no deterrent action with intelligence, police 
informers etc to prevent this, especially during Covid rules in 
force?Politicians keep blaming each other and influential people, the law and 
the police are unable to stop this menace in public interest. Says a lot for 
present state of affairs!

[Goanet] Aspects of Life in the Goa of Yore: The First Mass (Marcos Gomes-Catao)

[Bernado Colaco]

 RIP Sr. Marcos Gomes-Catao. He would personally share his poems and articles 
about Goa since 2016. Here is one on Calangute:
Ode to CalanguteOf the 40’s
The shimmering landscape of BAGA far awayAlmost lost in the curve of the baySo 
recalls a picturesque MONET tableau

HAIL! Brightest Belle  of all GOAN shores.Manifold the variety of your 
folks:That old lady seeking solace for her rheumatismRubs shoulders with the 
matron eyeing lasses for her lad,And yonder comely damsel in seeming 
distressVain looks for the philanderer faithlessTo whom last year  her heart 
she pledgedWhereas the svelte demoiselle from KarachiBanters her beaux with 
coquetish repartee.
HAIL! Fairest of all GOAN shoresIn the quiet of your serene eveningsThe soft 
caressing whisper of the windRustling through your swaying palmsWorks like a 
potent, soothing balmAs dulcet sounds float in the air:“Crying Suzanna” or 
“Darling Clementine”,“Coming down the mountains” or othersWhich the virtuoso 
coaxes from his guitarTo the accompanying bystanders' delight.
HAIL!B rlightest Belle of all GOAN shoresBehind trellised screens in the 
balconyOf the palm-thatched hoary innThe loud tittle-tattle of jaunty 
ramblersDowning “St.PAULI” 2 or a swig of “MACIEIRA” 3,With Africanders 
clinging to their Scotcha,Rises into the depths of the eveningAs raucous voices 
join in with 'mando'To the accords of violin and 'gumot'4
HAIL! Fairest of all GOAN shores.Time passes taking with it all we love.Is it 
alright to have a moment's regretThat the magnificent old pageantIs now subdued 
by monstrous cement boxesAnd the old graciousness replaced by obnoxiousnessOf 
gauche 'outsider “nouveau riches”And jobless dregs of Western society?
HAIL! Brightest Belle of all GOAN shores.How they have killed the core of your 
soulBringing to mind those oracular wordsOf the song   we sang not too long 
ago:“Bye, beauteous, gracious shoresAdieu, land of my loveWhat aching nostalgia 
thou leavestIn the deepest recesses of my heart”.5

Long-time Goanetter Marcos
Gomes-Catao passed in the past
week, and as a tribute to him,
we carry one of his charming
articles he had shared earlier.
MG-C's prominent family home,
now replaced by a building that
houses many medical and other
facilities in Mapusa, still
carries the family name.  He is
the brother of the prominent
Jesuit educationist in Poona
and Goa, late Vincent
Gomes-Catao SJ.

Iqbal during his nationalist days, was set as a marching tune by Antsher

credits to A Lobo by the Navy band.

As I said, this is about music... Please share any other links you might

[Goanet] In the seventies we lost our play area

[Bernado Colaco]

 In the early seventies Goa,Daman and Diu witnessed the sudden death of its 
first chief minister Dayananda Balcrisna Bandodcar under the new rule (1961). 
This CM was at the forefront of the Maharastra wadi Gomantak party and was 
seeking the merger of Goa with its northern neighbour Maharastra, which 
fortunately did not happen. He was famous among the bahujan samaj or the 
downtrodden from the novas conquistas.
 After his death they built a memorial for him at the Gaspar Dias or Miramar 
beach. For many years the taxpayers had to pay for the policemen who used to 
keep vigil at the memorial around the clock. As 12 years old this area was our 
playground. It had a rocket slide, see saws and what we called a jantar mantar 
in fact was a maze and a giant fish. Unfortunately one fine evening  we saw the 
destruction of the jantar mantar and the end of fun in that playing area. 
If Aires Rodrigues catagorizes Bandodcar as a great leader, one wonders why 
till today Goa lies in third world. Just yesterday tried to make phone 
call(landline) to Goa but the calls were not going through. I heard that the 
linesman were holding the wires (poor chap) as he tried to connect the calls.
