Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. ___ WHERE IS TIATRO ACADEMY GONE NOW? WHY SILENCE ON TUEM'S ARREST? The silence of Goa’s Tiatro Academy till now 11th August 2013, Kuwait time 1.00 Noon, over the arrest of Tiatrist Francis de Tuem is very intriguing. Since Tuem belongs to the Tiatro and Tiatrists fraternity, Goa Tiatro Academy should have openly supported their arrested colleague by openly lodging a protest against the authority that arrested Tuem. “My enemy is within me’, goes the saying and it looks Tuem’s enemy is within him only. “When I laugh the whole world laughs with me but when I cry I cry alone because at that time no friends and colleagues of mine come to clean my eyes fully wet with tears”. Goa Tiatro Academy’s protest over Tuem’s arrest would surely be a booster towards fight for justice for Tuem. Goa Tiatro Academy is an authority and as such its action will carry weight. When one of our Tiatrist colleagues is facing injustice, we and other Tiatrists cannot sit in silence saying “MAKA KITEAK PODDLAM TEM?” Makaim poddonk na ani tukai poddonkna, tor konnank poddlam? Today it is for Tuem but tomorrow it can be for me or for any one of us and it may be in a different direction. Mohammad Prophet when once asked “when there will be justice in this world”, He replied saying “When everyone of us would gather courage to fight against the injustice committed on to others as if that injustice has been committed on to us only”, then only there will be justice in this world. Some prominent people in Tiiatro fraternity internally must have been happy to see what has been happened to Tuem because there are many in Tiatro fraternity who are very jealous of Tuem’s popularity in singing extra ordinary songs on politics, especially on Goan politics. “One’s dirty Linen should not be washed publicly”, said one person to me today morning after reading in this forum my yesterday’s article on this subject. But first of all one should not dirty his Linen publicly thereby drawing public attention to react. The sins of public figures should be exposed publicly only so that others do not follow their bad examples. Mickey Pacheco is a public figure and as such he should be a role model for others by observing certain decorum in his discipline and morality. Some of his acts do not befit his official status. He lives the life of a rowdy for this reason he had to cool his dirty feet in the Prison Cell at Calangute. He gives bad example to others. Unfortunately, we have more rowdy public figures in Goa for this reason Goa is going to the dogs. Tiatro came into existence to clean the society of its dirt from different segments of Goan society, namely Caste segment, Bhatkar-Mundkar segment, rich –poor segment and clergy segment as well. In these segments lot of ills going on and many or most of these ills were cleaned and eradicated by the Tiatro and Tiatriists. The legendary Minguel Rod played a major role in this cleaning in the second quarter of the last century. Political cleaning from the Stage of the Goan politicos came into existence with the advent of the Bharati Raj in Goa where politics gone into the hands of “Rostad” politicians who without basic knowledge started to rule Goa starting from Dayananda Bandodkar. In this cleaning of Rostad politicians active role was played from the Stage by Kid Boxer, Conception-Nelson-Anthony, M. Dod de Verna, M. Boyer, William de Curtorim, Tomazinho Cardodoso, Felix de Divar and Francis de Tuem to name a few known figures. In Goan community, there are two segments where there is too much of jealousy of each other and one another. One segment is of politicians and the other is Tiatrists fraternity. When Kid Boxer was arrested for the second time in Bombay because of his political song, very few Bombay based Tiatrists stood by him while others applauded his arrest silently from a distance saying “AMKAM KITEAK PODDLAM?” because they were jealous of Kid Boxer’s popularity. When William de Curtorim was summoned to Mapusa Police Station for singing a political solo exposing misdeeds of Rane, overwhelming number of Goan Tiatrists internally showed their happiness saying “BORENCH ZALEM” because they were jealous of William’s popularity in Goa. Again when William de Curtorim was assaulted at Saligao on the road by halting the Bus in which he was travelling along with his other colleagues, even his own colleagues remained dormant instead of providing helping hand to William at that critical time. William was coming home in a Micro Bus carrying all Tiatrist after finishing their Tiatro at Candolim where he rendered a solo against the

[Goanet] Goa church to invite pope for St. Francis’ exposition

Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. ___ Goa church to invite pope for St. Francis’ exposition It plans to invite him for the 2014 exposition of pioneering Jesuit St. Francis Xavier. Goa, April 02, 2013: The Goa Catholic Church is planning to invite Pope Francis for the 2014 exposition of pioneering Jesuit St. Francis Xavier. “The chances of the first Jesuit pontiff arriving in the beach tourism oriented state are healthy,” said Fr. Savio Barretto, rector of the Basilica of Bom Jesus wehre the mortal remains of the saint are kept. He said that they have received many enquiries to call His Holiness for the event. “We will be calling him (pope) and request the central government to formally make a request to the Vatican city also,” he said. The event, which is known as the exposition, is due in November 2014. “The chances of Pope Francis coming for the exposition look good because he may not even need an invitation to visit the resting place of his fellow Jesuit brother,” the priest said. St. Francis Xavier, who hailed from Navarra in the Basque region of Spain, heralded Christianity in Goa in the early 1500s. After his death in 1552 in Shangchuan, China, his body was first ferried to Malacca, which is a city in Malaysia, and later stored in 1553 in the grand Basilica of Bom Jesus. Believers regard it as a miracle that the body has survived for nearly 500 years, while skeptics have historically argued that the mortal remains of the saint have been embalmed to ensure its survival. Every year, more than a million believers throng the church complex in Old Goa, located a short distance from here. Once in a decade, the church arranges for the devotees to see the saint’s remains in a glass-topped silver casket. Catholics account for nearly 25 percent of the state’s population of 1.4 million. - oneindia - Forwarded by gaspar almeida, http://www.goa-world.com/ ___ The First Online Konkani Music Station - Started on March 14, 2000 by Ulysses Menezes Gaspar Almeida, http://www.live365.com/stations/61664 Email: goaworldto...@yahoo.com Konkani Video on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/uly334 http://goablog100.blogspot.com/ http://www.targetgoa.com/ http://www.konkanfruitfest.com/ http://www.tiatracademygoa.com/ www.goa-world.com/expressions/ http://www.oheraldo.in/ http://www.q8india.com/ http://www.mangalorean.com/

It's April Fools!! Are You...An Ignorant Fool, An Angry Fool, A Sorry Fool, A Happy FoolA Proud Fool, a Clever Fool, or a Transformed Fool?http://ordinarysparks.blogspot.ca/2013/03/seven-kinds-of-april-fools.html8.5 Reasons Why Numbered Lists are BetterHey there Gaspar!!I've always had a fascination with numbers. When my massagetherapist asked me to pick a number from 1 to 10 to indicate howmuch pressure I was feeling, I exclaimed pi. She said what?and I replied, I can't get any more precise than 3.14159265359...But numbers do make it easy for all of us to consume new knowledge,especially in this age of information overload. Think of the superpopular books 7 Habits of Highly Effective People or The FourAgreements or 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. Movies likeThe Sixth Sense, and Seven are more mainstream examples.So what's so good about numbered lists? What do extra numbers dofor us?1. Numbered Lists Create a Sense of ConsistencyWhether writing a report or conveying a story, a numbered list canmake sure that our content is evenly distributed. We want to makeall of our content seem substantive, and the best way to do this,is to evenly distribute our substance through numbered lists.2. Numbered Lists Create a Sense of StructureSometimes numbered lists can evolve into categories or hierarchies,or even complex flow charts. Having at least a numbered listcreates a visual map for people to digest content in easilyconsumable, bite-sized chunks.3. Numbered Lists Allow People to SkimIt's easy to get lost in a long essay. That's why some peopledon't like reading fiction, and prefer this instructional format. Instead of abounding an entire article should somebody get bored,they can instead easily move to the next section and consume whatis relevant for them.4. Numbered Lists Cater to All PersonalitiesIf you are familiar with the DISC model of personality types, thennumbered lists i) Allow the D's to Decide which numbers to read,ii) Allow the I's to Impulsively jump from number to number oftheir choosing, iii) Allow the S's to Stick with the laid-outchronology, and iv) Allows the C's to Criticize each pointindividual, and wonder if any points are missing. 5. Numbered Lists are Easier to CreateRather than being overwhelmed with the depth of research or workinvolved with a particular message, simply start with a list. Making a list is easy, and paints us the simple overview we oftenneed. Then, once we have all the major points down, it's just amatter of filling in each point with explanation.6. Numbered Lists have More Real Perceived ValueUsually I start with a number like 7, but the list grows to anumber like 10. Our brains work harder thinking of new numbers toadd to our lists. And I'm sure readers appreciate the thoroughnessthat goes into making such lists. Plus, numbered list just looklike they have a lot more to offer.7. Numbered Lists Invoke IntrigueWhy 7? Why 10? People are highly motivated by curiosity, and aremore likely to read a long posting if it is numbered, simplybecause they want to understand the formula that we created.8. Numbers Can Always Be AddedWe may think of points to add after we have published and promotedan article like this. No problem! We can think of several morepoints, and make a part II of the article. A simple narrative mayseem disjointed in parts, but numbered lists work independently,and together.8.5 Numbers Can Have Greater PrecisionThe simple technique of making .5 points or otherwise playing withnumbers can be very alluring. Entertainment giants do this all thetime. Think about the hit sitcom Two A Half Men or thefeature-length movie 2 Fast 2 Furious. Have fun with numbered lists. You never know where they will takeyou. Well, to infinity and beyond, of course! :) Let's love the world together...Love, [)anish /|hmed, blind visionary http://www.facebook.com/OrdinaryWords+1 (647) 439-5011P.S.

Like father – like daughter. Thus goes the saying. This daughter is none other than the young and youthful daughter of once India’s top football defender Anton Rebello from Curtorim, Salcette, Goa. Her name is Penny Rebello who is employed in Kuwait at Don Bosco High School - Kuwait as a PT Teacher having done her graduation in Physical Education in Goa. Inheriting all the sporting qualities of her once renowned footballer father who had great distinction of playing for Salgaocar Sports Club-Goa, representing Goa in the Nationals and India XI as well a number of times in international outings, Penny as a sportsperson in Goa at school, College and Goa level created a name and fame for her. She is not an ordinary sportsperson but very renowned one in Goa before taking up an employment in Kuwait. She represented not only her School, College, University and Goa in different disciplines of the sports including soccer but above all she represented India in Volley ball and toured Portugal and Germany playing volley-ball for India with great distinction. Penny Rebello with her Papa Anton. Last Friday on 1st of this month during the one day soccer extravaganza forthe veterans under Kuwait Indian Football Federation, she surprised everyone there by doing the job of the Linesman with courage and confidence. I think she is the first female in Kuwait to do the Linesman job and that too so perfectly well. Anton Rebello seen with a Memento presented to him in Kuwait a few years back for his excellence in soccer. As a member of Indian Football Referees Association in Kuwait Penny is well versed in soccer laws and shortly she may surprise us all by umpiring the games from the centre as being done in many parts of the world. Penny Rebello seen extreme left before the start of the match. It is a big honour for Goans in Kuwait to have among them such a high caliber athlete. She deserve our support and encouragement for her further promotion in this field. A. Veronica Fernandes, Kuwait.

Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. ___ Christmas Carols Videos Guide to a better life Two medley videos of Christmas carols http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKu9-cKkA38 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLWJeFlXWus Guide to a Better Life This is amazing. Randy Pausch died of pancreatic cancer in 2008, but wrote a book ‘The last lecture” before then, one of the bestsellers in 2007. What an enduring legacy to leave behind… In a letter to his wife Jai and his children, Dylan, Logan, and Chloe, he wrote this beautiful “guide to a better life” for his wife and children to follow. May you be blessed by his insight. POINTS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE Personality: 1. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about. 2. Don’t have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. 3. Don’t over do; keep your limits 4. Don’t take yourself so seriously; no one else does 5. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip 6. Dream more while you are awake 7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.. 8. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness. 9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others. 10. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present 11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you 12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. 13. Smile and laugh more 14. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. Community: 15. Call your family often 16. Each day give something good to others 17. Forgive everyone for everything 18. Spend time with people over the age of 70 under the age of 6 19. Try to make at least three people smile each day 20. What other people think of you is none of your business 21. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch. Life: 22. Put GOD first in anything and everything that you think, say and do. 23. GOD heals everything 24. Do the right things 25. However good or bad a situation is, it will change 26. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up 27. The best is yet to come 28. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful 29. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it 30. If you know GOD you will always be happy. So, be happy. While you practice all of the above, share this knowledge With the people you love,People you school with, People you play with,People you work with And People you live with. “ Not only will it enrich YOUR life, but also that of those around you.” ___ The First Online Konkani Music Station - Started on March 14, 2000 by Ulysses Menezes Gaspar Almeida, http://www.live365.com/stations/61664 Email: goaworldto...@yahoo.com Konkani Video on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/uly334 http://goablog100.blogspot.com/ http://www.targetgoa.com/ http://www.konkanfruitfest.com/ http://www.tiatracademygoa.com/ www.goa-world.com/expressions/ http://www.oheraldo.in/ http://www.q8india.com/ http://www.mangalorean.com/

Every parent - certainly every mother - is familiar with the ups and downs, the highs and the lows, the pain and the discomfort, but also the deep joy of childbirth. The story of Christmas is set against such human realities. A baby leaps in the womb; a virgin gives birth. It is fitting that childbirth plays such a key part in the Advent story because at the very heart of our salvation is birth and new life: the birth of a new humanity; the unveiling of the new human being, the new creation. God, in his mercy, breathed new life upon the human race, and in Christ holds out to us a new dignity and a new destiny. Through baptism we become children of God, born not of natural descent nor human decision nor a husband's will but of God (John 1:13). Running as a thread through the Advent story of joy a new birth is also the pain of infertility. In many ancient societies, barrenness was considered a curse, a sign of God's displeasure. Zechariah and Elizabeth stood in the long tradition of childless couples like Abram and Sarah, Elkanah and Hanna, who were nevertheless faithful and observant believers. When God miraculously stepped in, even in her advanced old age, Elizabeth prayed: 'The Lord has done this for me' she said 'now that it has pleased him to take away the humiliation I suffered among men.' (Lk.1:25) This can be our prayer too. While Elizabeth was referring to the removal of the curse of infertility, we, rightly so, can be referring to removal of the disgrace brought into our lives by sin and by simply being born into the human family. We can be rejoicing in the grace of our baptism, or the renewal of our baptismal promise, or even a renewed dedication of our lives to the Lord. In Christ we are born again, and this re-birth is the source and basis of our hope and joy. Advent can be a time to recover this sense of joy in God, making us fruitful and breathing into us the gift of the Holy Spirit. Let us pray that we too like Mary accept and humbly follow the will of God in all aspects of our lives. QUICK LINKS Please bear with us as many links on our new web-site have still to be updated.

[Goanet] Indian Multi-Faith Funeral Centre to open in Sharjah Northern Emirates
GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994)® www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ http://www.goa-world.com/ http://www.goa-world.com/goa/credit%5Ccredit.htm Tumcam Maie-mogacho ieukar. Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. Indian funeral centre by JanuarySajila Saseendran / 13 November 2012 Khaleej Times A final resting place for Indian expatriates in Sharjah and the Northern Emirates is scheduled to open in January 2013, the Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs, Vayalar Ravi, announced. The minister was speaking after visiting the construction site of the new multi-faith funeral centre off Sharjah Airport Road on Sunday. He also handed over Dh500,000 allotted to the facility from a community welfare fund for overseas Indians. The facility is designed to have four gas cremators for Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists as well as burial grounds for Muslims and Christians, said YA Rahim, president of the Indian Association Sharjah (IAS), which is executing the over Dh5million project. He said IAS plans to open the facility with at least one cremator by mid January. “The compound wall for the Christian burial yard has already been made by the Public Works Department. The same for the Muslims will be done soon,” Rahim told Khaleej Times. “We are getting the first cremator valued at $29,000 from the US by next month. In future, we are planning to have at least three more cremators for the believers of the three religions,” he said. The Indian Consulate in Dubai records about 1,300 deaths of Indians in Dubai and the Northern Emirates every year. Though the exact figures are not available, a good number of deceased are either buried or cremated here. When it starts functioning, the funeral centre will not just be a final abode for the community members, but it will also be an example of the Sharjah government’s magnanimity and an expression of the Indian expatriates’ contribution to their community. The land for the funeral centre spread in 8.3acres opposite the Sharjah Cement Factory in Al Sajja was donated by His Highness Dr Shaikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qassimi, Supreme Council Member and the Ruler of Sharjah. The donation came after the need for a decent crematorium for the Indian expatriates arose. According to IAS officials, the need was felt after they witnessed the cremation of their founder president K Madhavan who died in an accident. His body was cremated in the manual cremation facility which is in a municipal dump yard. The Dh500,000 from the Indian Community Welfare Fund, a cheque which the minister handed over to IAS officials on Sunday, came after a proposal by the Indian Ambassador to the UAE, MK Lokesh. Following the proposal, the minister expanded the scope of the fund that is collected through a Dh10 fee from Indian expatriates which is collected when they avail each consular service. The Consul General of India in Dubai, Sanjay Verma also pitched in to pool contribution from members of the Indian community. On his recommendation, the Gurudwara Committee in Dubai offered Dh325, 000 to the funeral centre. The Indian Community Welfare Committee under the patronage of the Consulate contributed Dh100,000. The same amount was donated by hotelier SP Singh and EMKE Group Managing Director MA Yousuffali. The latter has promised to add Dh200,000 more from his side, said Rahim. “We are deeply grateful to Shaikh Sultan for his love, affection and benevolence towards the Indian community,” Rahim added. saj...@khaleejtimes.com _ ___ The First Online Konkani Music Station - Started on March 14, 2000 http://www.live365.com/stations/61664 Konkani Video on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/uly334 www.targetgoa.com http://goablog100.blogspot.com

TO THE GULF One prominent Goan in cyberspace -- Ulysses Uly Menezes of Bastora/Kuwait -- was briefly in Goa in end-July. When we sat for a longish chat, he said that his site of videos, tiatrs and video songs was attracting a number of visitors. He said 1500 people had downloaded even huge files of 11MB, containing video.

[Goanet] Barack Obama wins election for second term as president
GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994)® www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ www.goa-world.com http://www.goa-world.com/goa/credit%5Ccredit.htm Tumcam Maie-mogacho ieukar. Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. Barack Obama wins election for second term as president By Liz Goodwin, Yahoo! News National Affairs Reporter Supporters cheer after networks project an Obama victory. (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) President Barack Obama handily defeated Gov. Mitt Romney and won himself a second term Tuesday after a bitter and historically expensive race that was primarily fought in just a handful of battleground states. Obama beat Romney after nabbing the crucial state of Ohio. The Romney campaign's last-ditch attempt to put blue-leaning Midwestern swing states in play failed as Obama's Midwestern firewall sent the president back to the White House for four more years. Obama picked up the swing states of New Hampshire, Michigan, New Mexico, Iowa, Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Ohio. Florida is still too close to call, but even if Romney won the state, Obama still handily beats him in the Electoral College vote. The popular vote will most likely be much narrower than the president's decisive Electoral College victory. The Obama victory marks an end to a years-long campaign that saw historic advertisement spending levels, countless rallies and speeches, and three much-watched debates. The Romney campaign cast the election as a referendum on Obama's economic policies, frequently comparing him to former President Jimmy Carter and asking voters the Reagan-esque question of whether they are better off than they were four years ago. But the Obama campaign pushed back on the referendum framing, blanketing key states such as Ohio early on with ads painting him as a multimillionaire more concerned with profits than people. The Obama campaign also aggressively attacked Romney on reproductive rights issues, tying Romney to a handful of Republican candidates who made controversial comments about rape and abortion. These ads were one reason Romney faced a steep likeability problem for most of the race, until his expert performance at the first presidential debate in Denver in October. After that debate, and a near universal panning of Obama's performance, Romney caught up with Obama in national polls, and almost closed his favoribility gap with the president. In polls, voters consistently gave him an edge over Obama on who would handle the economy better and create more jobs, even as they rated Obama higher on caring about the middle class. But the president's Midwestern firewall--and the campaign's impressive grassroots operation--carried him through. Ohio tends to vote a bit more Republican than the nation as a whole, but Obama was able to stave off that trend and hold an edge there over Romney, perhaps due to the president's support of the auto bailout three years ago. Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan all but moved to Ohio in the last weeks of the campaign, trying and ultimately failing to erase Obama's lead there. A shrinking electoral battleground this year meant that only 14 states were really seen as in play, and both candidates spent most of their time and money there. Though national polls showed the two candidates in a dead heat, Obama consistently held a lead in the states that mattered. That, and his campaign's much-touted get out the vote efforts and overall ground game, may be what pushed Obama over the finish line. Now, Obama heads back to office facing what will most likely be bitterly partisan negotiations over whether the Bush tax cuts should expire. The House will still be majority Republican, with Democrats maintaining their majority in the Senate. The loss may provoke some soul searching in the Republican Party. This election was seen as a prime opportunity to unseat Obama, as polls showed Americans were unhappy with a sluggish economy, sky-high unemployment, and a health care reform bill that remained widely unpopular. Romney took hardline positions on immigration, federal spending, and taxes during the long Republican primary when he faced multiple challenges from the right. He later shifted to the center in tone on many of those issues, but it's possible the primary painted him into a too-conservative corner to appeal to moderates during the general election. The candidate also at times seemed unable to effectively counter Democratic attacks on his business experience and personal wealth.

Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. The first votes are in! Ten of them, anyway. And it's an Obama, Romney tie. The small hamlet of Dixville Notch in New Hampshire distinguishes itself every primary and general election by voting right at midnight. Tune in to ABCNews.com on Tuesday, Nov. 6 for livestreaming coverage of Election 2012. Election Day show kicks off at noon, and the Election Night event begins at 7 p.m. This year ten voters showed up and they split evenly - five votes apiece - for President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Obama won the Dixville Notch vote in 2008. But in elections before that, the town had stuck to more conservative candidates, twice selecting a Republican instead of Bill Clinton. Dixville Notch and its 10 voters may be symbolic, but they're not a bellwether for the state. Obama won in Dixville Notch in 2008, but that was the first time a majority of the town went for a Dem in 40 years. The other New Hampshire town with midnight voting- the slightly more populous (32 voters) Hart's Location- swung towards Obama tonight- 23 Obama, 9 Romney.

Taking advantage of two precise corners from veteran Americo, NYC was up by three goals in the first twenty minutes with goals from the resolute Duarte Ferrao, Cruzedio and veteran Alfred. Santos United however came back strongly in the second half with two fine goals by Jerry Vales and Camilo Lucas, but any chances of an upset were quickly killed off when Christino and Ignatius scored against the run of play for NYC to end the game 5-2 in their favor. Simon Gaonkar was declared the Man of the Match and received his award sponsored by Integrated Logistics Company, from the hands of Carmo Santos, president of Santos United .

[Goanet] Special Report : A Parents Viewpoint With A Child With Autism By Dr. Pooja Chodankar

Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. Special Report: A Parents Viewpoint With A Child With Autism By Dr. Pooja Chodankar I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this.. When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It's all very exciting. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, Welcome to Holland. Holland?!? you say. What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy. But there's been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay. The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place. So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It's just a different place. It's slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around and you begin to notice that Holland has windmillsand Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts. But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy... and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned. But the only thing about being a parent of an Autistic child is that when we land The stewardess comes in and says, Welcome to Italy. But instead of Michelangelo David we find Rembrandts and things don’t start to look so right. One fine day The Doctor comes in and says, “You landed in Holland, not in Italy. after months and years of planning and thinking its Italy! And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away... because the loss of that dream is a very very significant loss. But... if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things ... about Holland A PARENTS EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER RIDE Denial Guilt Blame Anger Isolation Depression Denial When a situation arises that exceeds a person's ability to cope, such as the diagnosis of a terminal disease, denial is often the result. It is human nature to handle a devastating situation by simply pretending it does not exist. This is not a failure on the part of the person to “handle it.” In many ways, it shows that the coping mechanisms are functioning normally in the part of the human brain that allows only a certain amount of stress to be processed at a time. By avoiding a stress overload, the ability to cope is maintained. Guilt Parents invariably turn inward when something goes wrong with their child. It is a natural reaction. As a mother, you may question every aspect of your pregnancy and wonder what you did to cause the autism or what you could have done to prevent it. You may look in the mirror and analyze every moment in an effort to determine what you did wrong to cause this to happen to your child. As a dad, you may also turn inward as you find ways to blame yourself for what has happened—even going so far as to despise yourself for some perceived or imagined wrong. Anger Hearing that a child has a lifelong disorder with an unknown cause and for which there is no absolute and effective treatment is enough to make anyone angry. Anger is a normal part of loss. It is only natural to be infuriated with a situation that is out of your control; learn to be gentle with yourself and your family when you feel angry.Isolation. Because of the nature of this condition, parent's are often socially isolated. Raising children who don't often tolerate outings. It is difficult for a lot of them to have any semblance of a normal life. Depression A 2007 study conducted at the University of North Carolina suggests that Mothers of children with autism may be prone to depression if they feel responsible for the cause or outcome of their child's disorder 50% of mothers with children with autism had elevated depression scores, compared to 15% to 21% in the other groups.

Applicant Cosme Fernandes www.targetgoa.com Herald probe exposes blatant cover up May 8, 2011 TEAM HERALD PANJIM, MAY 7: The home minister’s shock, surprise and confusion when Team Herald confronted him with a straight query whether the Special Investigation Team was constituted to probe the Cipriano Fernandes custodial death case was not surprising. Herald first reported it in its February 26 Weekend edition (Home Minister played SIT card to delay action against Panjim cops,) and then again in its March 20 edition (When the lies come Home). On February 3, the home minister announced in the assembly a SIT headed by a senior officer Om Prakash Kurtarkar would investigate the actions of police officials charged with murdering Cipriano Fernandes in police custody. The next day, he prevented his own Home Department from recommending to the director general of police to take action against the accused police officers of the Panjim police station and wrote on the internal note, where this recommendation was made (again published by this newspaper earlier) “I have announced in the legislative assembly that SIT headed by Om Prakash Kurtarkar will be constituted and action against officials will be taken after submission of the SIT report.” As Heralds investigations have revealed there is no record of the Police Establishment Board transferring the case to the SIT.

[Goanet] Goa IT Habitat/Park: Revamped or to be Revamped ?
GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994)® www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ www.goa-world.com http://www.goa-world.com/goa/credit%5Ccredit.htm Tumcam Maie-mogacho ieukar. Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. Goa IT Habitat: Revamped IT Habitat all set to come alive at Dona Paula The Rajiv Gandhi IT Habitat on the Dona Paula plateau is all set to come alive in a remodeled form, with the government proposing to come out with a comprehensive policy about the same in six-month time, thus ensuring that the work for the project re-starts at the beginning of the next financial year. The government is also planning to invite leading Information Technology (IT) companies like Wipro and the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) for setting up their shops at the revamped Rajiv Gandhi IT Habitat, with an aim to generate employment for the Goan youth. Stating that the priority of the government for IT sector as a pollution-free and environment-friendly, employment-generating industry has not changed a bit, the Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Parrikar on Friday told ‘The Navhind Times’ that although the IT sector had become ‘a bed of corruption’ during the regime of the previous government, he is all set to change it into a clean area, which will provide jobs to the locals. The Chief Minister, in July, earlier this year had addressed the industry leaders from around the country at the investment summit of the Confederation of Indian Industry, in Mumbai and offered sops to the companies for investment in Goa. It may be recalled that a couple of months ago, the government took a major decision to cancel the allotment of all plots at the Rajiv Gandhi IT Habitat and approved a decision to bring a Bill for abolition of the plots. The cabinet had also decided to empower the InfoTech Corporation of Goa for obtaining loans to refund the amount to the 18 plot allot-tees within the next ten years. The ITG, as per the cabinet decision will now invite fresh bids for re-allotment of plots. Speaking further, the Chief Minister said that the Rajiv Gandhi IT Habitat had become a pretext for land deals as the Habitat area was only used for real estate business by some politicians and not for setting up of the IT units. As per the information provided to the legislative assembly in 2011, altogether 2,85,296 square metres of land on the Dona Paula plateau was earmarked for the IT Habitat and an amount of Rs 22.74 crore was spent out of the total money collected. Now, the cancellation of the allotted plots will require the government to shell out around Rs 140 crore as refund to the companies allotted the plots in 2006-07. The Dona-Paula based ambitious project was formally inaugurated by the Congress president, Ms Sonia Gandhi in 2006. However, the work undertaken for the same was stopped in December 2007 due to violent protests, which damaged the project infrastructure. Similarly, an amount of Rs 36.87 crore, including Rs 11.70 crore towards building roads, erecting electricity poles and other facilities was spent for IT Park on the Succor-Salvador do Mundo plateau as per the information provided to the state assembly. The IT Park was aimed towards attracting medium scale and large-scale IT companies with a targeted employment potential of around 8,000 persons. The present government, however, has dropped the IT Park project. Incidentally, an amount of Rs 11 crore linked to the IT budget head was diverted to the Goa Cricket Association during the tenure of the past government. It may be noted that an NGO has approached the court alleging that part of the land acquired for setting up of the IT Park was forest land and that the IT department had not obtained required permissions before proceeding with its plan. In an interim order, the court granted relief to the NGO. Since then, the on-going work at the IT Park was suspended and the petition is pending for hearing. The Chief Minister further maintained that the IT Park project was pushed illegally by the erstwhile government, and was awaiting the court decision. “The government therefore, thought it wise to scrap the project as that would automatically free the government from the pending litigation,” he pointed out. Incidentally, the captains of the Goan industry had observed that Goa needed to create more growth centres at different locations, especially in the form of IT parks located between Panaji and Pernem, Panaji and Ponda or Shiroda, near Canacona, Margao and Quepem, with 75 per cent of the manpower coming from the non-urban areas. They had also maintained that there aren’t many takers for IT parks in Goa, and the government should rather focus on world class infrastructure and promote electronics and IT hardware manufacturing.

[Goanet] Goa government has earned a whopping Rs 15.30 crore in revenue from the offshore and land-based casinos
GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994)® www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ www.goa-world.com http://www.goa-world.com/goa/credit%5Ccredit.htm Tumcam Maie-mogacho ieukar. Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. Goa Casinos: Goa govt earns crores from entry fees at casinos The Goa government has earned a whopping Rs 15.30 crore in revenue from the offshore and land-based casinos operating in financial year 2011-12, the assembly data revealed. The information tabled in the state legislative assembly on Friday stated that the revenue is generated from the entry fees at casinos operating in the state. The statistics, compiled by the state commercial taxes, further show that the government has collected more than Rs 9.61 crores in 2010-11 and Rs 10.88 crores the year before. An IIT-scholar, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar in the budget 2012-13 had scaled down the high entry charges to off-shore casinos from Rs 2000 to Rs 500. The erstwhile Congress government had in fact increased the entry fees from Rs 500 to Rs 2000. Parrikar had said that his intention was to compensate the annual license fees of the off-shore casinos, which has been hiked to Rs 6.5 crore a year. From one off-shore casino in 1999, the then government gave permission to six more vessels on Mandovi River in 2006. As leader of opposition, Parrikar had demanded scrapping of off-shore casinos. After taking over the government, he took a U-turn clarifying that closure of casinos will send a wrong message to investors. Various non-governmental organizations and activists have now protested Parrikar’s stand. The distance between each off-shore casino from the Captain of Ports office is between 50 mtrs and 800 mtrs. There are 16 licensed casinos operating in the state. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nJf3McMvSE Casino Pride Goa is on River Mandovi, is 24 hours Live gaming experience.

[Goanet] India's Phenomenon called Arvind Kejriwal. bring decency and seriousness into the conduct of Parliamentarians.
GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994)® www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ www.goa-world.com http://www.goa-world.com/goa/credit%5Ccredit.htm Tumcam Maie-mogacho ieukar. Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little.. India's Phenomenon called Arvind Kejriwal - by Floriano Lobo When I went to the Manoshanti Hotel in Panjim, some few years ago, to listen to this new RTI avatar called Arvind Kejriwal, I had thought that this avatar will go places in time to come should he choose to immerse himself into clean, activism related, national politics, time having come to replace the corrupted politics of 'WINNABILITY' and politics of transferring GOD from Heaven to Earth. I made it a point to have a few words with him in that dharshan at Manoshanti Hotel and had even handed over to him the Constitution and the Road Map for Goa of the Goa Su-Raj Party, Goa's fledgling Regional Political Party of Activists and not of Politicians, with a request to him that he go through these when he found time. I want to believe that he has gone through these two documents. However, when he teamed up with another phenomenon call Anna Hazare, my expectations of Arvind Kejriwal had cooled off. According to my inner voice, Arvind Kejriwal's impetus and drive in cleaning up the ever dirty politics of India through an NGO alone would not go far, because Anna Hazare , according to me, was the zombie of the RSS, and Arvind Kejriwal's continued association with him would come to naught. I was surprised, when Anna Hazare initially consented to the idea of setting up a political party after his second 'fast' turned out to be a big flop. I knew that the strings would be pulled by the RSS to pull him back from this decision. And I was right, because, RSS was, all this while, supporting Team Anna and it's IAC Campaign in the hope that it's laadli BJP would benefit from it and come into prominence, just like it came into prominence before on the Ayodhya and Ram Mandir card, by projecting Congress as Corrupt to the core. RSS never wanted Anna Hazare to espouse the cause of a new political outfit that would challenge both, the Congress as well as the BJP. With Arvind Kejriwal attached to Team Anna, this was bound to happen and BJP would eat dust along with the Congress. So they pulled the strings and Anna Hazare went back to his Raleigaon Siddi's backwaters. I had written about this saying that Arvind Kejriwal was better-off sans the flip-flop Anna Hazare. I never attended a single meeting of the Anna Hazare's Anti Corruption Campaign in Goa because this campaign was nothing but the face of the RSS-BJP with the well known RSS sympathizer Adv. Satish Sonak in the forefront. I had even dissuaded people from attending the Panjim Azad Maidan Meet where Anna Hazare was to attend. I knew where this campaign would start and where it would end, more specifically, at the upper floors of the Hotel Nova Goa in Panjim. I am happy that Arvind Kejriwal is now free from the RSS-BJP pot-boiler with his new political party serious about contesting all of 545 seats in the Parliament in the coming Lok Sabha Elections - 2014 as stated in the section of the Press. He has already ruffled political feathers to the extent that they have now started losing their cool at press conferences and have grouped together to support one another against Arvind Kejriwal's blitz that is going to expose them of all of their naked deeds heretofore hidden and/or covered up by putting 'Honest Jokers' in front. The cake was being baked for these two political parties, Congress and the BJP, to eat, with a few morsels to be thrown to the other State political parties like BSP, SP, RJD, TMC etc., to keep them contented and satisfied. Enter Kejriwal, this long time feasting at the cost of the nation is being questioned and tempers are getting frayed and out of control, already. The long since wrapped-up issues between the folds of the 'sari' of the Congress' President are being un-wrapped, on the one side by Arvind Kejriwal and his dedicated team of Social and Political Activists and on the other side by the Hitler of Gujarat, Narendra Modi, though Narendra Modi's rantings must be discounted as the ramblings of a 'manic killer' with blood of INNOCENT thousands staining his hands. In my view, this is the God sent opportunity for Arvind Kejriwal to set up a State-National-Federal System of Political Parties where his soon to be named National Political aligns itself with compatible to it's IAC ideology State Political Parties to cleanse the Nation's Parliament for once of criminal and sycophantic elements and put in place members who are erudite, gentlemen/women statesmen/women with vision, knowledgeable about India, it's people and their problems, as well as knowledgeable of the affairs of the world. Let Arvind Kejriwal's new party not dabble with State

The First Online Konkani Music Station - Started on March 14, 2000 http://www.live365.com/stations/61664 Satellite to help fight illegal mining in Goa Satellite devices will now help the Goa government to combat and curb illegal mining in the state. In an effort to curb illegal transportation of iron ore in Goa, authorities have now begun tagging river barges with a satellite device to keep a tab on iron ore ferried from loading points in the mining belt to ports. “This way we can monitor the movement of barges and also the load being carried by them,” director of Goa’s mines and geology department Prasanna Acharya told reporters here Wednesday. “The barges monitored by satellite will give us real-time updates as and when we want it,” Acharya said. he motorised barges plying on the Mandovi and the Zuari rivers, whose tributaries veer deep into the mining belt, carry iron ore from the mining belt in the eastern hinterland to the ports, from where the ore is transferred to large transhippers. With the recently tabled Justice M.B. Shah Commission report saying that virtually all mining companies are involved in illegal mining in Goa, the government has increased its vigil on mining as well as transportation of iron ore in the state. Acharya said the movement of barges can be accessed by anyone logging on to the Goa mines and geology department’s website — http://goadmg.co.in/ According to the Goa Barge Owners Association (GBOA), 298 boats are registered with it and all of them are involved in transportation of ore. The state government has imposed a temporary freeze on the production of more barges because of increasing marine traffic.

[Goanet] WHEN I PAY, I EXPECT MY MONEYS' WORTH - Tiatrists, visiting or Kuwait-based and Tiatr Organizers please take note
GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994)® www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ www.goa-world.com http://www.goa-world.com/goa/credit%5Ccredit.htm Tumcam Maie-mogacho ieukar. Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little.. WHEN I PAY, I EXPECT MY MONEYS' WORTH An evening out.. DRAMA IN KUWAIT: APLEA BHURGEAM SANGATAK Had the opportunity of watching the much touted 'Aplea Bhurgeam Sangatak' a Konkani drama staged by Dy S.P. Sammy Tavares at the American International School, Hawally on Friday 28th September 2012 and I must say it was not such a happy experience. Let me start with the play itself. Although I found the story similar to so many other Tiatrs I have watched over the years, it could still could pass off as 'satisfactory' especially given that it contained some powerful acting by Felcy as the tormented mother, Mathew, Roma, Rosaila and a couple of others whose names I do not know. Regretfully, I cannot say the same about the comedy and I personally did not find it too funny, in spite of the best efforts of comedian John D'Silva. Strangely though, quite a few in the audience enjoyed it. The songs baring one or two including one beautiful duet by the female leads, were dull and boring and I could see the audience getting restless and waiting for the next one. For once my favourite Cajetan/Marcus/Xavier disappointed big time and left many in the audience feeling the same as me , especially since the drama was attended by a huge crowd, probably close to 600 plus. However, my main reason for writing this blog is not really about the drama, it more to do with the organizers and the organizing of the drama. Isn't it time the organizers stopped checking our patience and started taking us a little more seriously? The start of the drama was announced as 5:00pm and in spite of us being in the hall at 4:50pm, the show started approximately at 6:45pm (about 1 hour 45 minutes late), and to top it all, till the curtains opened we were bombarded with announcement after announcement about the availability of so called 'Original CDs' and VCDs. There was also an announcement that video shooting is prohibited while the organizers had 3 cameras in strategic locations to actually video film the whole play. Also every now and then someone would announce that the play is about to start and the lights would be switched off only for them to come on again... My next issue is the interval break. Without scant concern for the audience who were in the hall, some of them from 4:00pm, the break lasted for over an hour with further announcements about VCDs and CDs, Bingo game, auction of souvenirs and felicitation ceremonies. The show actually ended at 11:25pm, so you do the math. Another strange thing I found in recent Konkani Dramas is that Organizers and Tiatrists find it the best place to wash 'Dirty Linen'. So you will find a singer (in this case a couple) who will come on stage and sing a 'Zopati' (hope I got that right) without giving names, but rather a few broad hints. Now tell me, if I am not aware of your drama politics, how the hell would I know who you are singing about or seriously do I really care? I believe it's time our Konkani drama organizers and actors stop hiding behind the curtain of their love for the Konkani language and the stage, and give us our money's worth. Most of them (actually all, and I know quite a few) are very sensitive to criticism and will rarely accept it positively to improve themselves and their art. It's time organizers not only think of making a tidy profit, but giving the audience value for their money as well. A friend of mine summed up last evening's drama very well. He said: I have seen a lot of dramas by far the worst, serious thought needs to go in by the organizers. Gentlemen, Please!!! If I have paid KD.5/- (approximately Rs.1000/-) for a ticket, damn it I want full value for my money. Just like watching a movie, not all dramas may be good, but if not anything else, at least I should enjoy the experience of a pleasant evening out.

[Goanet] DKA’s Conference of Konknni Organizations on September 30, 2012
Costa was the President, Mr. Tomazinho Cardozo was the secretary and Mr. Prabhakar Tendulkar the treasurer. During this period, DKA published 'Konkani Orthography in Roman Script' with the intention of bringing about a desirable unity among the writers, so that the writers could understand the principles and rules of writing Konkani in Roman script. Tomazinho Cardozo was the second president and Mr. Jose Salvador Fernandes and Mr. Prabhakar Tendulkar were the secretary and treasurer respectively. The current president is Premanand A. Lotlikar, while Mr. Jose Salvador Fernandes continues as the secretary. There have been calls for the government of Goa to stop discriminating against Romi Konkani and officially recognise the DKA.[2] Aims and ObjectivesThe Executive Board outlined the aims and objectives of the DKA in 2004 as follows[1]: The first and foremost objective of DKA is to promote Konkani language in Roman script, which is neglected, side tracked and given step motherly treatment. Konkani written in Roman script goes back to 1560. Without its Roman script history, Konkani would not have got the recognition by Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi in 1975. It has the rich cultural heritage and it has become integral and unavoidable part of Goan culture, specifically of Christians. The vast majority of Goan Christians read Konkani written in Roman script. Hence it has to be preserved fostered and developed. DKA will make all efforts to provide support, financial and otherwise, for writers of Konkani in Roman script. It will work untiringly to obtain for them their just and lawful demands, dues and rights. DKA will recognize those institutions, which are working for the promotion and development of Konkani Language, literature and culture in Roman script. It will initiate various activities in literary, cultural and social field through all the modern means of social communication. It will provide financial assistance, and scholarships to writers, dramatists, talented important people, scholars and students to carry out research and other undertakings in the field of Konkani. Holding and organizing seminars, conferences, workshops, exhibitions, lectures, competitions of different types; undertaking and editing Konkani folk songs, music, folk literature, stage performances and other expressions of Konkani culture; Library and documentation centre facilities to the students, writers, teachers, producers and actors/actresses of Konkani; collecting and preserving Konkani documents, records, books and objects scattered with individuals and families which are related to the cultural and literary development of Konkani are other objectives. The Akademi will focus on promoting, assisting, and undertaking publications of children's literature in Konkani along with providing books or magazines in Konkani language to the libraries and institutions. ActivitiesThe main event organised by the Dalgado Konknni Akademi every year is the Konknni (Romi Lipi) Sahitya ani Sonvskrutik Sommelan (Konkani Literary and Cultural Conference) which has been held since the year 2008.[3] Apart from this, the academy bestows annual Konkani literary awards[4] and organises poets' meets.[5] The DKA also publishes a large number of Konkani books.[6][7] The academy also organises contests such as novel writing and story reading in order to increase the readership and simultaneously to inculcate the habit of reading Konknni in Roman Script and to instill the love of the language among the youth.[8][9] The DKA has ties with the Thomas Stephens Konknni Kendr[10] and coordinates several activities with it.

[Goanet] 9-year-old Goan Akash S.S.Naik files PIL against Goa's largest mining company, Sesa Goa
GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994)® www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ www.goa-world.com http://www.goa-world.com/goa/credit%5Ccredit.htm Tumcam Maie-mogacho ieukar. Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. “I want to tell all children that mines in Goa must be closed” A report by Sushila Mendonca Meet 9-year-old Akash Sham Sunder Naik – a veritable David taking on a Goliath. After all, mining companies in Goa, and for that matter anywhere in the world, are no small fry to take on and oppose. Akash has done just that. He has filed a PIL (public interest litigation) in the high court of Bombay (Goa Bench) against one of Goa’s largest mining companies, Sesa Goa, for unlawful mining activity. Akash Naik has filed a petition against Sesa Goa, charging them of unlawful mining activity in Advalpal. Thanks to Akash, Sesa Goa was told to restrain all mining operations at Advalpal by the Goa bench of Bombay High Court in an interim order. Till a couple of months back, Akash used to live in the village of Advalpal in Bicholim district in North Goa. Bicholim is one of the worst affected villages by iron-ore mining that has taken over Goa. The villages here have red roads, and red houses and red trees and red grass and a red haze in the air which doesn’t always make the locals see as red as we the non- affected would expect them to feel from our safe places. Perhaps the only green seen is that which buys silence. He shifted to the outskirts of Panjim city after his doctor advised his parents to shift away from the area in order to improve their health. Akash misses his carefree days in his village. He could never be found at home – if he wasn’t in the neighbors house, he was running around in the village, exploring the hill side, picking at wild berries and playing in whichever natural water bodies he and his band of merry friends could find. His source of inspiration is his father, Shyamsunder Naik, an activist who has been protesting about mining companies and the damage they are doing to his village since 2005. Because of this, Akash, along with other children from the village, have attended many protests and public meetings. This has included rallies to the pollution board and to the premises of a mining company. I went to visit Akash at his house in the outskirts of Panjim where he now stays. This is what he had to say: “My name is Akash Sham Sunder Naik. I am nine years old. Till some months back, I used to live in our old village — Advalpal in Bicholim taluka in North Goa. But I had to shift to another place because of all the destruction happening due to mining in our village. The mining companies are cutting up whole hills and they are spoiling our village. Because of that, there is so much pollution. The red dust is everywhere – it is entering our noses and mouths. Children in our village are falling sick, getting breathing problems and other complications. I too fell sick. I had repeated bouts of cough and cold and I missed a lot of school. I got typhoid. My doctor told me it is all because of the red dust in the air. Our springs were also drying up and people’s fields were drying up. After the mining began, wild animals from the forested hills started coming into our homes. People got bitten by snakes. One day, after it rained heavily during the monsoons, a mudslide happened in the night on one of the mined hills. All the excavated and loosened mud caused by the mining turned to slush, slid down the hill entered houses from the rear and exiting from the front sweeping away the houses along with it into the fields. People were sleeping in the houses. This was the turning point. We felt we couldn’t take it anymore. I filed a case so all this does not happen in the future. I would like to tell all children that they may be just children but they too should come forward to help close that iron-ore mine in our old village. Close all mines. Only if this mining stops, will our houses, our villages remain. And only then will we get water. If these mines are not stopped we will not get water in the future. That’s why I filed a PIL. I want to tell all children that all mines in Goa need to be closed. My request to everyone is please help us close down the mines that are destroying Goa.” The Goa Foundation (www.goafoundation.org), a well-known environmental action group which is pursuing several litigations against mining firms helped Akash file a case. Akash’s petition has been a nasty jolt to the leading mining company owned by the UK-based Vedanta Group. The company recently made headlines when it bought mining leases worth over Rs17 billion from Goa-based Dempo Group. How you can help: 1. Leave your comments to this story in the comments box.

[Goanet] AFTER THE SWEARING IN..... CROSS, KABRASTAN, CEMETERY DESECRATED IN GOA.......
GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994)® www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans/ www.goa-world.com http://www.goa-world.com/goa/credit%5Ccredit.htm www.q8india.com Tumcam Maie-mogacho ieukar. Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little.. Kabrastan Cemetery desecrated in Curchorem Curchorem town witnessed a shameful act of desecrating a Kabrastan and a Christian cemetery, situated on a hillock of Pantemoll, little away from the main town. Some locals, who visited the cemetery today, witnessed that name plates of over 100 tombs in both the Kabrastan and the Cemetery were damaged by some miscreants. The police immediately rushed to the spot and started conducting investigation into the incident. This is the first incident after chief minister Manohar Parrikar took over as the chief minister. Series of such incidents had taken place, in a similar manner, during the tenure of Digambar Kamat, heading the Congress-led government. In fact these incidents had led to movement led by Mandir Suraksha Samiti in the state, initiated by some Hindu organizations. Even if this incident is considered to be the possibility to counter this background in a crude manner, the Curchorem town did not react in haste but preferred to remain silent. The government in the meanwhile has announced an award of Rs 50,000 to those who come forward to provide any clue in this regard. WWW.GOANEWS.COM Whom is this VOTE for? It’s also not a mandate FOR BJP. It’s a mandate AGAINST THE CORRUPT, RUDE, ARROGANT AND FILTHY Congress. It’s more negative than positive. It’s a desperate hope expressed in the available alternative/s. But it’s not completely negative. It does have positivism in it. It’s also a mandate for a hope. The hope people have expressed in the leadership of Manohar Parrikar; if not BJP. It’s a lesson for the BJP too. Strategically, the Hindutwa party fielded six Christian candidates – Francis D’Souza, Michael Lobo, Glen Ticlo, Carlos Almeida, Matanhy Saldhana and Nilesh Cabral. All six got elected. If not, the BJP could have remained at 15. The lesson is that Goans don’t vote for communalism. They voted for Congress all these years because it was a conglomeration of all castes and religions. But the Congress, rather than remaining secular, became communal from within. Also became corrupt and arrogant. Made politics initially a business and then a family business.

The BJP is also leading in several other constituencies, though the exact details are awaited. The counting for 40 seats is in progress in two centres in Panaji and Margao. Among the big losers in the Congress party were former vice president of BCCI, Dayanand Narvekar, power minister, Aleixo Sequeira and Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president, Subhash Shirodkar. Among the big winners are Mickey Pacheco of the Goa Vikas Party (GVP) who defeated Sequeira in Nuvem constituency. Rebel Congress candidate Vijay Sardesai (Independent) defeated his BJP rival and sitting MLA, Damu Naik and Congress nominee, M K Shaikh in Fatorda constituency. In a blow to the Alemao family, Urban Development Minister Joaquim Alemao lost to first time candidate Rajan Naik of the BJP. Churchill Alemao's daughter Valanka Alemao too lost the contest to Caetano De Silva of the Goa Vikas Party in Benaulim. Anant Shet of the BJP won in Mayem defeating Rudresh Chodankar of the NCP and Independent Praveen Zantye.

QUEM QUER ANDA E QUEM NAO QUER MANDA! Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little... Indian dies after 10 years in coma Publish Date: Thursday,16 February, 2012, at 12:03 PM Doha Time By Ramesh Mathew Staff Reporter An Indian woman who spent the last 10 years in a coma died at the Rumeillah Hospital yesterday. A devastating stroke in 2001 left Rosa Apolonia, 66, paralysed and since then she was in coma. She leaves behind four sons, three of whom are working in Qatar. Death came at a time when efforts were being made to fly her to Kerala to be admitted to a centre for the terminally ill in Thrissur district. The Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) had agreed to bear all expenses for transporting Apolonia to India in co-ordination with humanitarian workers in the Indian community. Senior doctor at HMC Dr K C Chacko was co-ordinating with the officials and the community members to take her to India. Apolonia’s husband Walter Fernandes, who had not been keeping well for more than three years, died last November while on a visit to his native Goa to admit one of his mentally challenged sons to a centre in the western coastal state. A couple of years before his death, Fernandes had one of his legs amputated following acute diabetes. Despite his failing health, he worked for a security agency at the head office of a local bank. Apolonia’s story was featured in Gulf Times more than once after her plight and the family’s predicament were brought to the attention of the Indian embassy at its first-ever community open house, convened by former ambassador Dr George Joseph on February 9, 2006. On learning of the family’s predicament, some members of the Indian community came forward to help them pay fines for their resident permits which had not been renewed for more than five years amounting to about QR50,000. Following the personal intervention of Joseph, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) reduced the fines to the minimum possible level and the resident permits of her family were formalised again. Entrepreneurs Nazareth Charles of Exblowra Trading Contracting Company, James Chacko of Sasco Group, expatriate forums All India Cultural Congress (AICC) and Friends of Tiruvalla, Vincent De Paul Society at St Thomas Syro-Malabar Church and members of the St James Syrian Jacobite Church were among others who made donations to the Indian Community Benevolent Forum (then the Indian Community Benevolent Fund) to support Apolonia’s family pay the fine. The ICBF gave a substantial sum as loan to pay the fines, which is still being repaid by her sons. The family members were initially staying in a house whose rents were borne by the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Rosary. Some senior members of the Indian community helped three of her sons get jobs in local government organisations. One of her sons said arrangements for her burial in Qatar are being made. “We spoke to our only surviving paternal aunt and she has given her consent for a local burial,” he said.

QUEM QUER ANDA E QUEM NAO QUER MANDA! Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little The 'haunting' of Padre Lourenço by Fr. Nascimento Mascarenhas If I were to tell you real, true ghost stories from Goa and India, and say that Goan ghosts did exist, you would probably scoff and brush them aside as the weird beliefs of an old man. You would of course be right, but in the olden days in the village of Saligao things were quite different. Let me tell you the stories of the “haunting” of Padre Lourenço, the haunted tree near the Seminary and Saligao’s very own Goan ghost of Christalina. It was the second week of May in the year 1952 that Padre Inácio Lourenço Pereira was appointed as supervisor of the construction of the Saligao-Pilerne Seminary (Seminary of Our Lady, Saligao, Goa). He hailed from Albutriel in Portugal (Diocese of Leiria), the place where Our Lady appeared to three shepherd children at Fatima. He was a missionary along with his priest brother working in Madras-Mylapore diocese. He replaced Fr Paulo Arcanjo Menezes from Sangolda, who from 1936 to 1952 was in charge of building of the Diocesan Minor Seminary. Portuguese priest Fr Menezes used to walk every Sunday from his residence near the unfinished seminary to St Anne’s Chapel in the village to celebrate Mass there. However in April 1952 he went on a year’s sabbatical leave to East Africa. As soon as Padre Lourenço arrived, the chapel committee members requested him to come to St Anne’s to celebrate Mass for the parishioners of the three wards — Donvaddo, Mudd’davaddi and Tabravaddo-Mollembhat. Padre Lourenço readily accepted the proposal and on 25 May 1952 along with his domestic help known simply by the name ‘Frank’, drove to the chapel along with a Donvaddo lad who directed them. We youngsters at once fell in love with this fair and hefty Portuguese priest as he had a big jeep, which was a rarity in those years. After the Mass, we altar boys forgot about our breakfast as we went on a joy ride to the seminary at the invitation of the new chaplain. Saligao Seminary. Pic by Frederick Noronha The work of the seminary was completed by November 1952 and the inauguration took place on 6 December 1952. His eminence Cardinal Manual Gonsalves Cerejeira, Patriarch of Lisbon, inaugurated it with due pomp and solemnity. Top goverment officials,a large number of priests and seminarians of Rachol Seminary, and a sizeable crowd of people gave a festive look to the inauguration. We, the boys of Mater Dei Institute, were dressed in our Mocidade Portuguesa uniforms to receive the dignitaries with a salute. Even the ‘Christuleacho vôd’ (haunted banyan tree) shook mightily at the command given by our troop master. A few weeks later, one fine Sunday morning in January 1953, the parishioners at St Anne’s gathered for the usual Mass, but there was no sign of Padre Inácio Lourenço Pereira. So some elders and youngsters walked briskly up the Donvaddo hill to his residence near the seminary. What a sight it was! His workers and helpers were all around him. Padre Lourenço remained motionless. Padre possessed by a Goan ghost? Frank and others began to unfold the happenings of the previous night. As usual Padre Lourenço had gone for a walk around the seminary road, but that particular night he did not return. As there was no sign of him, some of the workers went in search of him. They found him quite close to the infamous banyan tree believed to be haunted by Christalina’s ghost, flat on the ground with his face in the mud. They shouted for help and their companions came with the jeep. They carried him to the jeep, drove to the residence and placed the good priest in his bed. All along he remained speechless and motionless. Then someone shouted ‘Christalina’ and the news spread like wildfire in the entire village of Saligao and the neighbouring villages that Padre Lourenço was possessed by the ghost of Christalina. It was an instant talk of the town and fear engulfed the folks of Saligao. In the evening some people, including my uncle Anselmo Mascarenhas, went to visit the padre. Rumours were spreading that Padre Lourenço was talking in Konkani and in a female voice. People now began concocting all kinds of ghost stories and the bizarre incident had a lasting impression on my young mind. I lived with it for years till I entered the seminary of Saligao in 1957. So was there any truth to this real ghost story in Goa? If my memory serves me correctly, by Lent Padre Inácio

Goa elections: Cong declares 22 seats, Babush from St Cruz, Sopte-Patnekar get tickets Posted: 04 Feb 2012 Congress has declared first list of 22 candidates. It includes all former Congress MLAs, except Victoria Fernandes (St Cruz), Pandurang Madkaikar (Cumbarjua) and Alex Reginald Lawrenco (Curtorim). Congress has also rewarded Dayanand Sopte (Mandrem) and Rajesh Patnekar (Bicholim) for quitting the BJP. Most interesting among it is Babush Monseratte being declared as St Cruz candidate, indicating that all efforts of Victoria Fernandes to field her son Rudolph have gone waste. The only two new candidates declared in the list are Panaji Mayor Yatin Parekh from Panaji and Caetan Xavier from Cortalim. GPCC president Subhash Shirodkar, who was defeated by BJP’s Mahadev Naik, has been nominated from Shiroda once again.Congress has also not declared Benaulim seat, from where Churchill’s daughter Valanka has already started her campaign. Similarly, the Congress has kept on hold the candidature of Taleigao, which was held by Babush earlier. He wants the seat for his wife Jennifer. Curtorim is probably being held up because South Goa MP former Curtorim MLA Francisco Sardinha is trying hard to get the seat for his son Shalon, sidelining sitting MLA Reginald Lawrenco. The list of 22 candidates is as follows: § Mandrem – Dayanand Sopte § Pernem – Babu Azgaonkar § Valpoi – Vishwajeet Rane § Poriem – Pratapsing Rane § Sanquelim – Pratap Gawas § Bicholim – Rajesh Patnekar § Aldona – Dayanand Narvekar § Calangute – Agnel Fernandes § Panaji – Yatin Parekh § St Cruz – Babush Monseratte § St Andre – Francis Silveira § Ponda – Ravi Naik § Shiroda – Subhash Shirodkar § Dabolim – Mauvin Godinho § Cortalim – Caetan Xavier § Nuvem – Alexio Sequeira § Navelim – Churchill Alemao § Margao – Digambar Kamat § Velim – Philip Neri Rodrigues § Cuncolim – Joaquim Alemao § Quepem – Babu Kavlekar § Curchorem – Shyam Satardekar 2007 Result INC: 16 | BJP: 14 | NCP: 3 | MAG: 2 | UGDP: 1| OTHERS: 4 2012 Results: ?

QUEM QUER ANDA E QUEM NAO QUER MANDA! Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little... Speaker rejects disqualification plea against Churchill, Reginaldo Published on: February 4, 2012 More in: Goa News PANAJI: The Speaker of the Goa State Legislative Assembly on Friday rejected the disqualification petitions filed by former Benaulim legislator, Mr Francisco Xavier Pacheco, against Mr Churchill Alemao (Navelim MLA) and Mr Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco (Curtorim MLA) and held their merger in the Congress party as valid as they comprised two thirds of the total strength of the Save Goa Front (SGF) party. The order passed by the Speaker also states that the respondents could not be disqualified under paragraph 2(1)(b) of the Tenth Schedule also, since they had already become members of the Indian National Congress with effect from January 23, by merger, and thereafter they stood freed from the control of the Save Goa Front. The Speaker by an order while disposing off the disqualification petition has stated that the prayer for disqualification of the respondents on ground of “voluntarily giving up the membership of the Save Goa Front” under paragraph 2(1)(a) the Tenth Schedule was rejected. Mr Rane in his order has also stated that the contention of the petitioner that Mr Alemao and Mr Lourenco were subject to disqualification under paragraph 2 (1) (b) of the Tenth Schedule on the ground that the direction issued by the Save Goa Front was violated, was also rejected. “My job under the Tenth Schedule is strictly confined to that acid test. Paragraph 4(2) of the Tenth Schedule is the sum and substance of the scheme of protection of claimants of merger. My function under the Tenth Schedule is to test the claims and counter claims on this touchstone. I am not supposed to wallow into other extra-jurisdictional areas which are in the nature of civil disputes,” the Speaker has stated in his order. In the instant case, both the respondents, who claimed the protection of paragraph 4 of the Tenth Schedule, constituted 100 per cent of the Legislature Party of the Political Party, namely, the Save Goa Front, and placed before me a “claim” that the Save Goa Front had merged with the Indian National Congress, said the Speaker. “I, as Speaker, as a Tribunal under the Tenth Schedule and Rules made thereunder, put the claim of merger made by the respondents to the only acid test of whether the claimant MLAs, who seek protection against disqualification under paragraph 4, constitute not less than two-thirds of the legislature party or not, when a claim of merger is made,” Mr Rane stated in his order. Indeed the number of claimants was more than the requirement stipulated under, the order states. The Speaker while rejecting the disqualification petition of Mr Pacheco, then MLA, in relation to Mr Alemao and Mr Lourenco, under the Tenth Schedule, has declared that Mr Alemao and Mr Lourenco would continue as members of the Goa Legislative Assembly. The disqualification petition was filed by Mr Pacheco in 2008 following which the process as required under Tenth Schedule was initiated and hearing were held on January 5, 2009, April 16, 2009, July 7, 2009 and August 17, 2009. Mr Pacheco sought to withdraw the petition on November 2, 2009, which was not granted by the Speaker. Subsequently, another petition was filed in 2011 and hearings on the petition were held on June 30, 2011 and August 22, 2011. The orders on both the petitions were passed by the Speaker on Friday.

The Nuem Beach Indicates The Time Of The Year – Part Two [ Continued from Part One. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gulf-goans/message/36755 ] The Messages Keep Coming At the Nuem beach, from June to July end, the sea is at it’s worse and no one dares to venture in it, but we fish from the old abandoned mining dock and we get lots of fish like mordoxeo, dodyare, xetkam and others, this too has a time period till October but by end July or early August when the ferocity of the sea diminishes a bit, year after year prawns (big small) make their way to our shore and the fishermen from our area along with a lot of other Goan fishermen earn their livelihood, the sea is usually rough but they risk their lives for monetary gains, because prawns make our beach their temporary home just for a couple days or weeks depending on the currents and the state of the sea. We thank God that so far there has never been a fatal accident on our beach, as soon as the sea becomes slightly calm the prawns disappear, then from August end to end October it is the turn of the squids to visit our shores in calmer waters and believe me, sometimes we use to catch them even with our bare hands, they come in such large numbers, it is said that they prefer our sand for nesting because it is firmer and harder so that the eggs do no get dislodged or washed out. At the end of October when the sea water gets clearer and calmer the big grey and white crabs appear in large numbers out of nowhere, when that happens, the squids disappear. It’s an unexplained phenomena. From where do these creatures come year after year and where do they go there after, is still a mystery. During the earlier days, at the end of summer everyone use to pull up their boats and did not go back into the sea till a certain day in the Hindu calendar called “Suttamchi Punou” (it’s a particular full moon day in the Hindu calendar at end July or in the first week of August, when strands of threads were released in the sea) when the leader (budhvont) of the fisher folks would call the leader (Zolmi) of the Velip community to the beach to perform Pooja and break a coconut (vell zogoitale), then they would all put their respective boats in the sea, sadly, with the price of prawns shooting up and the uncertainty of the duration of their stay at our beach, today this Pooja has stopped, as money is become the God of all. With the sea becoming calmer during September-October the sand that was eroded at the start of the rainy season slowly starts coming back automatically and by the end of November all the smaller rocks on the shore get totally buried under the sand leaving no clue of their existence, this is a yearly occurrence and no exaggerations. Over the years the volume of fish on our beach has receded but the prawns, squids and the crabs very rarely fail to visit the shores of Nuem, even then we have to pay a premium price for the luxury that I enjoyed until recently. With my illness these delicacies are banned from my diet as they are very high on Cholesterol, oh how I miss them ! This phenomena of the sand being taken away and brought back by the sea is indeed amazing, how and why does it happen during the same period of the year ? I have asked a lot of people but I am yet to get one satisfactory answer. It also makes me wonder, that with the sand mining going full throttle in other parts of Goa, how will the sea react because it certainly needs it’s sand for a certain period of time and then brings it back, so if there is no sand what will it take instead and what will it throw back ? When I think of it, it surely leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. Of late we have witnessed another phenomena on our beach during the months of March to May, tar balls makes their way to our beach every year and it becomes a mess with the entire shore covered with a layer of tar and oil, which causes a great deal of hindrance to the locals as well as the picnickers. Even after a number of representations to the authorities no action has been taken to avoid this menace, which is slowly but surely turning into an environmental nightmare as humans, marine life as well as birds get affected. It has already affected the selfish on our beach, as we no more see the much desired mussels around the beach and have to venture into to the deep sea for them. From December to April, Nuem is the safest beach in

What was the basis on which he produced the VCD? What about the allegations made in the VCD that the child’s kidneys and eyes were removed, when the postmortem report clearly mentioned that no body organs were touched.

Pictures of Pai Hospital, Vasco, mention of Doctor Surme, Dr. Patel, Dr. Amonkar, Dr. Dilip, GMC Ward No.106 and its nurses (Typical GMC nurses attitude also exposed). From the LIVE footage, it also appears that the doctors were very rude to the family members. One Dr. Patel even called the sister 'bitch'.In some cases, I found very hard to believe the way the doctor acted or their alleged rude behaviour It also talk about Auda of Bailancho Saad or Ekvott (-ve), Home Ministers, Sequeira, Mickky, Goa police etc News/Media like Herald, Tarun Bharat, Goa365, Prudent etc (for giving no or very less coverage) There were about 30 press/media persons at press conference organised by BE at her residence. Picture of operated parts or cross section - Vertically and horizontaly (like a big Cross) on deceased stomach also shown at GMC ward/bed. In another pic, late Ravina also shown her 'eyes removed?' (Doctors confirm lenses removed?) It also talks about pipes and holes all over her body. It says something about a long syringe/injection with black contents/fluid injected into Ravina by a nurse (at the instruction of Dr. Patel). Elder sister (Ravika) tells a hair-raising story how it all happened and how it all ended up. The last moments of Ravina life (sufferings) and how she breathed her last in Dr. Patel's hand. ' Mojem ang pasun xirrr zalem'. Doctors act was cruel. Don't know if Doctors are human or animals. From this (VCD), it is obvious that Doctors killed Ravina (the above VCD footage also available on the net uploaded into Facebook and Youtube) watch video below It’s one year now, died on 29/7/2010 Young RAVINA died or killed (by doctors)? What has happened to this case? Any doctors found guilty? Will Ravina ever get justice? So many questions but no answers.

Trinamool to fight Goa polls under Willy More in: Goa News Story Summary: An interesting development that could have some bearing on the state politics ahead of the March 3 elections to the state assembly PANAJI: In an interesting development that could have some bearing on the state politics ahead of the March 3 elections to the state assembly, the All India Trinamool Congress has decided to contest the elections as a separate entity in Goa. The decision to contest elections in Goa was announced by the Trinamool general secretary, Mr Mukul Roy in Kolkata, who also said that Dr Wilfred de Souza, a former chief minister of Goa, has joined the second largest party in the United Progressive Alliance, which is currently ruling in West Bengal. The All India Trinamool Congress chairperson, Ms Mamata Banerjee, has accordingly appointed Dr de Souza on Sunday to head the Goa unit of her party. Dr de Souza told The Navhind Times that he has been asked by the Trinamool central leader, to form the state unit in Goa and that he would accordingly start enlisting the members of the party. As regards to a question on whether TMC would contest the forthcoming elections, he said that Trinamool party could contest in some of the constituencies and that people of Goa would have an alternative to the ruling Congress and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party. He said that he has got a forum to work for the interest of the Goans. Dr de Souza, who off late has not been associated with any political party after he quit the Nationalist Congress Party, said that he would have to begin from the scratch and build Trinamool into a strong force and provide the people of Goa an alternative to corrupt Congress and communal Bharatiya Janata Party. http://www.navhindtimes.in/goa-news/trinamool-fight-goa-polls-under-willy Goa-World.com Team's Favourite article as written and published in GOAN OBSERVER IN 2004 http://www.goanobserver.com/archive/20-11-2004/anniversary.htm [As just imagine, whoever were active in 2004, are still around - courtesy to the Goenkars who adore them.. ] Name:-Economic Survey Goa Price:-Rs.300/- Subscriber Price:- Rs.250/- View Detailshttp://goanobserver.com/online_shop/documents/ The First Online Konkani Music Station - Started on March 14, 2000 http://www.live365.com/stations/61664 Konkani Video on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/uly334 http://www.myspace.com/Palaciano Response Media | Response Events Exhibitions | Tel: 00965 - 24810109/24814404 | Fax: 24834815 | www.responsekuwait.com http://www.goanobserver.com/archive/20-11-2004/archive.htm LAST GASP: Politics is the second oldest profession on earth and it has a striking resemblance to the first. --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---

Mario Miranda: From Loutolim to Lisbon Published on: December 12, 2011 More in: Goa News Story Summary: The late Mario Miranda’s cartoons had warmth and gentleness and that was because he was not a political cartoonist. PANAJI: The late Mario Miranda’s cartoons had warmth and gentleness and that was because he was not a political cartoonist. He poked fun without causing hurt and kept clear of the most sacred of Indian cows – high profile politicians. “I am mainly a social cartoonist,” he is known to have said. This was how Miranda described his art. Born Mario João Carlos do Rosario de Britto Miranda in Daman to Goan Catholic parents he displayed a knack for sketching very early in life. When his mother saw him drawing on the home walls, she brought him a blank book, which he called his “Diary”. As a child he was told to pay respect to the clergy. Whenever he met a priest he would bow and kiss his hand, but at the back of his mind he found priests as a readymade foil for caricatures. Eventually, a priest took umbrage to some of the drawings and the matter reached the Bishop who convulsed with laughter. The bishop advised his mother not to curb the boy’s talent. In 1943, when Mario came to Mumbai he was 17 years old. He had thoughts of going to Paris to develop his natural gift for figure drawing. But, while the war was on no foreign travel was permitted. He attended classes at the J J School of Art for a day but disliked it. Instead he joined St Xavier’s College and emerged with a BA with honours in English. He still harboured plans of going to Paris, but in 1948 his father died and that ended his aspirations. He returned to Goa and literally ‘hanged around’ for a while indulging in the ‘socegado’ way of life and continued to fill those notebooks with drawings. But that did not satisfy him. He returned to Mumbai and took up a room with three friends from Goa. He scouted the newspapers for jobs, but most had staff cartoonists. His friend Polly Vaz, who worked in a hotel suggested that he draw postcards which were snapped up by guests. Polly cooked up a story that a deaf and dumb brother who wanted to stand on his own feet and it worked. At last Mario was making some real money. One day Polly broke the news that he would be migrating to Brazil and Mario decided to tag along. They made their passports and started saving for the one way trip. That was when Mario got a call from the editor of ‘The Current’, D F Karaka. He was told to go the Taj Hotel and do a sketch of the crowd dancing a new dance called the ‘can-can’. Karaka liked the drawing and Mario got his first job as a cartoonist. This set off a discovery of Mumbai. Then came the offer from the Times Group and Mario jumped at it. He shared an office with Behram Contractor, who used to write a witty column for ‘The Evening News’. They became friends for life. During this time, Mario used to attend mass at Cathedral of the Holy Name in Mumbai. It was here that he was spotted by a young girl who lived in the building across. Her name was Habiba Hydari. They met at the J J School of Art’s annual ball and five years later were married. During the courtship he continued to harbour thoughts of making it to Lisbon and Europe to hone his art. He took leave of the Times Group and stayed abroad for three years and when he returned he had made a name for himself. While in Europe he met several leading cartoonists and honed his skills. Then in 1961, Indian troops marched into Goa and liberated it. Mario returned to Goa only to find the door of his ancestral home shut. It was occupied by the Army. A year later a civil administration was installed and Mario got back his house. Choosing to remain in Mumbai as it was closer to home in Goa, Mario returned with wife Habiba and resumed work at the Times Group. When the ‘Economic Times’ needed a cartoon to lighten the serious news content, Mario stepped in and created the bold, good looking and sexy ‘Miss Fonseca’ and it clicked. His first all expense trip came when the United States Information Service invited him to confer with cartoonists in the US. It was here that he met Charles Schultz, the creator of ‘Peanuts’. Over the years Mario made at least 20 trips to the art capitals of the world learning and honing skills and observing and meeting people. Every journey was recorded and exhibitions held. During this time there was a growing demand for

Since its inception in 2004, Facebook has gone so far on its journey of revolution that in today’s virtual life it would be rare to find anyone who has not succumbed to its temptation. As it is user-friendly, it has a variety of applications. This new craze has become an addiction in the contemporary age, finding its way into the lives of old and young alike and making them obsessed with it. What about you?

QUEM QUER ANDA E QUEM NAO QUER MANDA! Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. A visionary lost, and the world will remember him - Steve Jobs - May his soul rest in peace! Washington, Oct 6 (IANS) Steve Jobs, the visionary co-founder of Apple who led a mobile-computing revolution with wildly popular devices such as the iPhone, is no more. He was 56. The end came Wednesday just a day after Tim Cook, the new CEO of world's leading tech company unveiled the iPhone 4S, a faster version of its best-selling smartphone that includes a virtual personal assistant you can talk to. The hard-driving Jobs, who resigned in August as CEO amid health concerns, pioneered the concept of the personal computer and of navigating them by clicking onscreen images with a mouse to lead a cultural transformation in the digital age. In more recent years, he introduced the iPod portable music player, the iPhone and the iPad tablet-all of which changed how we consume content in the digital age. Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives, Apple said in a statement. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. Jobs who had battled cancer for years, had a secret liver transplant in 2009 in Tennessee during a six-month medical leave of absence from Apple. Born Feb 24, 1955, and then adopted, Jobs grew up in Cupertino, California, which would become home to Apple's headquarters. When he was 21, Jobs teamed with Steve Wozniak and two other men to launch Apple Computer Inc., building their first commercial product, the Apple 1, in Jobs' parents' garage in 1976. Jobs sold his Volkswagen van to help finance the venture. The primitive computer, priced at $666.66, had no keyboard or display, and customers had to assemble it themselves. The following year, Apple unveiled the Apple II computer at the inaugural West Coast Computer Faire. The machine was a hit, and the personal computing revolution was under way. Apple's pioneering Macintosh computer launched in early 1984 with a now-iconic, Orwellian-themed Super Bowl ad. The boxy beige Macintosh sold well, but the demanding Jobs clashed frequently with colleagues, and in 1986, he was ousted from Apple after a power struggle. Then came a 10-year hiatus during which he founded NeXT Computer, whose pricey, cube-shaped computer workstations never caught on with consumers. In 1996, Apple bought NeXT, returning Jobs to the then-struggling company he had co-founded. Within a year, he was running Apple again. And in 2001, he took the stage to introduce the original iPod, the little white device that transformed portable music and kick-started Apple's furious comeback. Thus began what the CNN called one of the most remarkable second acts in the history of business. Over the next decade, Jobs wowed launch-event audiences, and consumers, with one game-changing hit after another: iTunes (2003), the iPhone (2007), the App Store (2008), and the iPad (2010). Friends, fans, foes hail Apple's visionary Jobs Washington, Oct 6 (IANS) President Barack Obama put him among the greatest of American innovators, rival Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates acknowledged his profound impact as tributes poured forth for the visionary Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Only days after talking about how cool it was to get an iPad 2 early - and directly from Jobs himself - a saddened Obama placed him among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it. By building one of the planet's most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity, he said. The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented. Google's Sergey Brin wrote on Google Plus: From the earliest days of Google, whenever Larry and I sought inspiration for vision and leadership, we needed to look no farther than Cupertino. Steve, your passion for excellence is felt by anyone who has ever touched an Apple product (including the macbook I am writing this on right now). And I have witnessed it in person the few times we have met. And on Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wrote, Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend. Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said the

Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. 2nd Mega Rally at Lohia Maidan - Margao - 29 April 2011 The GRA [GOEMCHEA RAKHONDARANCHO AWAZ] announces it's 2nd. mega rally at the Lohia Maidan, Margao, for 29th April, 2011. Incidentally, this rally was originally planned for the 8th. April, 2011, but had to be postponed for the 29th. April due to unforeseen circumstances. It is hoped that this rally, like the first one on 15th. march, 2011, at Azad Maidan, Panjim, will be massively attended to send the right signals to the 'powers that be' that the people of GOA do not like what is happening to their beloved GOA and expect a definite change for the better. A request goes to the Goans in diaspora to urge their beloved ones residing in Goa to attend this rally and to make their mark by way of depositing their suggestions in the suggestion boxes that will be provided for the day. GRA wishes to inform one and all that more than one hundred suggestions (with contact numbers and/or e-mail addresses) have been received at the 15 March Azad Maidan rally, and we at GRA are in the process of personally contacting these persons for a wider feedback and to invite their participation in the activities of GRA. Needless to say that GRA is much wiser now, through the 'pulse feeling' of the citizens, than when it was cobbled together immediately before 15 March 2011. For the young blooded youth of Goa here is a special message from GRA. This is your chance to make your voice heard and your presence felt. You are the future of this state. GRA would be pleased to attract the youth and to attend to their grievances as far as is possible. Last but not the least, GRA assures GOA and GOANs that it will not let them down, ever.

QUEM QUER ANDA E QUEM NAO QUER MANDA! Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. English: A must for secondary curriculum Let’s educate our children for posterity and not perpetuate the past, says FR ROMUALD DE SOUZA, SJ In the last few days, the local newspapers have published several articles and letters against continuing with the mother tongue as the medium of instruction in Stds I to IV, as well as against extending it to Std V as recently proposed. The Parents-Teachers Associations (PTAs) of a number of schools, in a sense of frustration resulting from their experience with this formula over a period of 20 years, have strongly opted for change and are petitioning the government to reconsider the ruling imposed on schools some 20 years ago, apparently on the strength of a UNESCO statement that a child learns more easily if taught in her mother tongue. Imposing the mother tongue as the medium of instruction and supporting it with financial grants may have been a progressive step at that time. Today, in the fast changing and globalising world, finding and keeping employment is a matter of high competition. Since the government, the parents, and our young people are looking to ICT (Information and Communication Technology) as a major area of employment, and since mastery over language to the point of being able to express oneself creatively is essential to compete and succeed in the ICT business, I find it hard to understand why the government wants to continue with a policy that puts our students to disadvantage in global competition. That our present language policy results in very real difficulties for students and teachers can only be known from the frustration experienced by teachers in secondary schools, and from the difficulties faced by the students themselves. Why is it that not more than one third of the students who enter Std I are actually able to complete secondary education? Granted that a fair proportion of them, willingly or unwillingly, take up technical courses and the government is loath to class them as dropouts, yet the fact remains that over two-thirds of our population have not completed their secondary education. Where does this place Goa on the world’s knowledge economy map? This question may not be that urgent as long as the tourist industry, even with its undesirable concomitant problems, continues to flourish, and the state continues to receive remittances from Goans resident and working abroad (NRGs). It would be fair to recognise that the ‘good life’ enjoyed in Goa is sustained by the toil of many who did not have an equal educational opportunity as those who could afford private schooling or coaching classes. The government should take into account a couple of points before arriving at a decision. The often quoted argument in favour of the mother tongue as the medium of instruction is that children learn more effectively when they are taught in their mother tongue. There are a whole lot of research papers whose findings are contrary to this belief. The question we need to ask is, “What are the children supposed to be learning in the early years of primary schooling?” To prepare them for the higher standards, the child should, in the early years of schooling, acquire the fundamental skills they will need to successfully pursue further studies. The emphasis should be on learning skills and not ‘knowledge’. The basic skills the child should master in the early years of primary schooling are literacy and numeracy. The objective is to enable the child to read, write, compute, and communicate with facility, as they progress in school. They have to learn that the letters are symbols representing sounds, that when several letters are put together they make words. To read efficiently and with speed as they progress, the child must be able to recognise words by their shape; that is, to learn to read with their eyes and mind, and not just with lips. The text used for learning to read is not important, at least not in the early years of schooling. It might be stories or fables or any written matter that the child finds interesting. As skills, neither the acquiring of literacy nor of numeracy is made easy or difficult by any particular language, whether the mother tongue or any other. As Jean Piaget, the world famous Swiss researcher in child development and an eminent educationist has pointed out, in its early years the child tries to get acquainted with the tangible world of things, and

QUEM QUER ANDA E QUEM NAO QUER MANDA! Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. Venerable Fr. Agnelo's Birth and His Family VENERABLE FR. AGNELO’S BIRTH AND HIS FAMILY Agnelo Gustavo Adolfo was born on Wednesday, January 21, 1869, at 1900 hrs IST, in Gaumvaddi, Anjuna, Bardez, Goa, western coast of the Arabian Sea. His father, Minguel Arcanjo Mariano de Souza (1826-1880) and mother Maria Sinforosa Perpetua Magalhães (1834-1882), both from Anjuna, were married on May 9, 1854. They were blessed with eight boys and one girl: 1) JOSÉ VICTOR FILIPE QUEROBINO (August 4, 1856-March 7, 1857) 2) MANUEL CRISOSTOMO CANDIDO ARISTIDES F.C. (December 27, 1857-January 13, 1931) 3) QUEROBINO JOSÉ VICTOR (December 8, 1860-August 5, 1906) 4) FLAVIANO ISMAIL CONSTANTINO SANTANA (October 3, 1863-1865) 5) ANGELO INAUDINO EUFEMIANO JOÃO (July 21, 1866-November 30, 1934) 6) AGNELO GUSTAVO ADOLFO (January 21, 1869-November 20, 1927) 7) FLAVIANO ISMAEL SANTANA (February 22, 1871-April 17, 1902) 8) Ms. ADAMANTINA ELISA GRASMILDA (July 23, 1873-January 29, 1984) 9) JOÃO FILIPE SERGIO F. FRANCISCO de CONCEICÃO (March 24, 1876-March 11, 1926) Twenty three days later Agnelo being weak in health was baptized on February 13, 1869 by Fr. João Batista de Souza, and his godfather was Gustavo Adolfo of Arpora and Anna Piedade from Anjuna. His day of birth coincided with the feast of St Agnes; hence, his parents named him Agnelo. He was the sixth child among nine. His parents played a crucial role in bringing up their children in the fear of God surrounded during those periods. The middle class family worked on fields and managed a small farming area on which their livelihood depended. His mother was educated (Portuguese education) with a natural gift in music and played piano and violin; hence, it is noted that she may have devoted her time more in the church affairs. Besides her music talent, she was a tailor and had a fair amount of experience in embroidery and this also may be one of the ways they generated income for a family of 11. Skeptics say she used all her talents for free to the village children and their house always remained packed from day to night due to catechism. During these secessions, Agnelo became engrossed or enlightened to read the holy scriptures, giving due importance to the church services and later taking initiative to teach others. His holy future was predicted during this period by his close relative Fr. Lazaro Souza. At the age of 8, Agnelo received the first Holy Communion, which was unusual in those days of his age, and until death he received it daily and devoted his time reconciling on every Thursday before the Holy Sacrament. At the age of 11, his father died and two years later his mother who was suffering from unknown illness understood her time to leave for the heavenly abode. She summoned all her children at her death bed and informed them about her end. She then pointed her finger to the picture of Virgin Mary, hanging above her head and said: “From now onwards She will be your mother, and you ask all your needs to her and she will fulfill it to you.” And thus she departed leaving behind all the children orphans at a very young age. All the children were then under the custody of their paternal uncle, and after his death their eldest brother Manuelino who was a priest undertook the charge. On November 17, 1883 he received the Sacrament of Confirmation from the hands of Patriarch and Archbishop of Goa, Dom Antonio Valente. Let us continue to pray ardently for his early beatification.

Goa Chitra an ethnographical museum situated in Benaulim, as part of their social activities recently launched their, “Thought Café.” That followed the launch of a book ‘Patriotism in Action’ by Valmiki Faleiro. Contrary to public perceptions, Goa contributed a large number of senior officers to the Indian armed forces, says a new book on the subject. Faleiro’s ‘Patriotism in Action’ lists over 350 persons of Goan origin, who have donned uniform in the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force. There are many others whose names are yet to be recorded, says the author. This new book was released by Ms Liva de Abreu Noronha at a well-attended function with family, friends, literary enthusiast and well wishers. Col (Retd) John A A D’Souza regretted the declining number of defense recruits in Goa in recent times. He said there were misunderstandings over the job, and youngsters needed more information on competitive Central government jobs too. In an emotional speech, writer and scholar Dr Savia Viegas stressed the importance of local histories which project the diverse aspects of Goan achievement, before this is all forgotten and disbelieved. Dr Dhillon Dessai said the book made clear about the Catholic contribution to the armed forces from Goa, and praised the author— a former journalist and ex-civic chief of Margao— for taking on this task. Another speaker at the event, Dr Francisco Colaco said the achievements listed in the book showed the bravery of the Goan. He cited stories of valour. Faleiro’s book offers lists of officers killed in action, and those from Goa decorated with gallantry awards. There is also a listing of Goan officers who took part in ‘Operation Vijay’, the action which ended Portuguese rule in Goa, five decades ago. Likewise, there is a list of Goan officers who took part in wars. In a series of articles, the book touches on Goan aviators, and the Goan “fascination for adventure”. Faleiro says that many Goan officers, after retiring, have taken to doing works of compassion and charity. His detailed listing contains literally hundreds of names and dozens of events, which throws new light on a subject little was earlier known about. Former Indian Army chief General, Sunith Rodrigues appreciated the author whom, he said, had “embarked on an ambitious task”. The hardbound book, priced at Rs 600, is available in major bookshops around Goa and outside. The author, Valmiki Faleiro, can be contacted via email: valmikif at gmail.com [Valmiki Faleiro is a Margao based businessman who earlier worked as Staff Reporter for the erstwhile WEST COAST TIMES and later as Goa Correspondent with Mumbai's FREE PRESS JOURNAL Group, and the INDIAN EXPRESS newspaper. He served as the President of the Margao Municipality from 1985 to 1987. He has indicated that he hopes to return to full-time writing, with a special interest on certain aspects of Goan history. http://www.colaco.net/1/ValmikiFaleiro.htm]

Close friends and not so close Friends. The old friends, the new Friends. Those that we see every day And the ones that we rarely see. The ones That we always remember and the ones that We sometimes forget. The ones that are always There and the ones that seldom are. The friends of Difficult times and the ones of happy times. Friends Who, without meaning to, we have hurt, or without meaning To have hurt us. Those that we know well and those we only know By name. Those that owe us little and those that we owe so much. Our humble friends and our important friends. The names of all those That have passed through our lives no matter how fleetingly. A tree with Very deep roots and very long And strong branches so that Their names may never be Plucked from our hearts. So That new names from all Over may join the existing ones. A tree with a very Pleasant shade so that our friendship may take a Moment of rest from the battles of life. May the Happy moments of Christmas brighten every day of The new year. These are our sincere wishes. Khuxealborit Natalam ani Dadosborit Novem Voros 2011. Ulysses Menezes, Gaspar Almeida, Lino B.

[Goanet] No demand so far for SPECIAL STATUS for GOA? Where are the 3 Memorandums?

Stay tuned to Gulf Goans e-Newsletter - everyday someone, somewhere learns a little. No demand so far for Special Status for Goa Posted: 03 Dec 2010 There is no request made officially by the Government of Goa for granting it Special Category which fact is revealed in an answer given by Union Minister of State Planning, Parliamentary Affairs,Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension Shri V.Narayanasamy to Shri Shantaram Naik M.P. in the Rajya Sabha in a written reply to his question Minister has mentioned only three states, namely, States of Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Bihar who have made requests for inclusion in Special Category. Minister informed Mr Naik that there are 11 States at present which have been granted Special Category Status viz., Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu Kashmir, Minipur,Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura and Uttrakhand. The issue of Special Category Status (SCS) first came up when the Gadgil Formula of fund allocation was originally approved by the National Development Council at its meeting held in April, 1969. Assam, Jammu Kashmir and Nagaland were included for providing Central Assistance in the form of 90% grant and 10% loan. The various States were accorded Special Category Status whenever they attined Statehood vix., Himachal Pradesh in 1970-71, Manipur, Meghalaya and Tripura in 1971-72; Sikkim in 1975-76 and Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram in 1986-87 and Uttarakhand in 2001-02, minister said. Shri Narayanasami further informed Mr Naik that the category into which a State falls ( that is, special category or non-special category) is used for deciding the loan-grant ration that is applicable for the Normal Central Assistance (NCA) provided to the States. Special Category Status results in the Normal Central Assistance and Assistance for Externally Aided Projects (EAP) being calculated as 90% grant and 10% loan. Non-Special Category Status results in the Normal Central Assistance being calculated as 30% grant and 70% loan. Special Category States are also provided Special Plan Assistance for projects of special importance to the State. Special Central Assistance untied to projects has also been provided to Special Category States because of their difficult financial situation, minister said. The decision to grant Special Category Status to any State is taken by National Development Council, which is the sole body competent to do so. There are no separate constitutional provisions, legislation or executive orders for the same, minister clarified. Mr Shantaram Naik M.P. said in a statement issued today said that he has given three memorandums to the Prime Minister , a few months back, making three separate demands , namely, Special Category, Special Provisions under Constitution to protect Goa’s land and separate Cadre for All India Services and, has given the copies of my memorandum to the Chief Minister. However, if the State Government itself does not place a particular demand with the Central Government, it means and implies that there is no demand from the State, which is why, Goa is not mentioned among the list of States who have demanded Special Category. Do we need to file a RTI to find out what happened to the 3 Memorandums? Is it just a once-in-a-while talk about the subject? www.goa=world.com The final notified Regional Plan 2021 for Goa, you can read online at http://www.goamag.net/rp21.htm Micky's Konkani Songs (Kantaram) now online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WPs9sfN488 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFFZObO9Lwg GLOBAL GOANS CONVENTION 2010 http://konkanifriends.com/show_art_news.php?id=4589 http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans Presented to you by Ulysses Menezes Moderated by Gaspar Almeida, since 1994
