[Goanet] Ladies Special bus - Goa
Dear CM Parrikar, Mr. Almeida, THANK YOU for this wonderful exclusive Ladies special bus. Sincerely appreciate this gesture. Proud of doing something first in India. Keep up the good work/service. God Bless. RegardsMario PANAJI/MARGAO/VASCO: The Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Parrikar, along with Kadamba Transport Corporation (KTC) chairman, Mr Carlos Almeida, on Tuesday, flagged off ladies special bus from the Panaji bus stand. After flagging off the bus, Mr Parrikar and Mr Almeida had a brief interaction with women to get feedback on the initiatives taken by the government to empower women and to ensure their security and safety. Mr Parrikar said that it is the endeavour of the government to ensure safe environment for women in Goa and more steps would be taken in future for their betterment. Earlier, Mr Almeida said that perhaps, this must be first time in the country that special regular bus service for women has been introduced. He said that constant monitoring would be done to ensure that this initiative of the state government is proving beneficial for women. At Margao, the Minister for Transport, Mr Ramakrishna Dhavalikar, said that the government is committed to provide better facilities to women commuters and therefore five ladies special KTC buses have been introduced on the major routes in the state. Speaking to the media after inaugurating the Margao-Panaji bus service, the Minister said the government had promised in the Assembly that as soon as the first lot of 100 buses comes, ladies special buses would be introduced in Goa. “I am happy that today the promise has been fulfilled,” he said and added that the government had gathered data on women commuters before these buses were launched. On Tuesday, the government introduced one bus from Margao to Panaji that will make two trips - one in the morning at 8.30 and the second at 6 in the evening. “If it gets good response, we would add more buses,” he disclosed when asked whether one bus would cater to the needs of the women commuters. In Vasco, the Power Minister, Mr Milind Naik flagged off the ladies special bus. He said the state government has fulfilled one more assurance given to the people by introducing such buses in the state. He said there was a need for introducing ladies special buses as a large number of women commuters are facing a lot of problems while travelling on day-to-day basis. He informed that the number of such buses would be increased in future according to the response that they get from women commuters.

After studying at the seminary in Villa Devoto, he entered the Society of Jesus on March 11, 1958. Bergoglio obtained a licentiate in philosophy from the Colegio Máximo San José in San Miguel, and then taught literature and psychology at the Colegio de la Inmaculada in Santa Fe, and the Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires. He was ordained to the priesthood on December 13, 1969, by Archbishop Ramón José Castellano. He attended the Philosophical and Theological Faculty of San Miguel, a seminary in San Miguel. Bergoglio attained the position of novice master there and became professor of theology. Impressed with his leadership skills, the Society of Jesus promoted Bergoglio and he served as provincial for Argentina from 1973 to 1979. He was transferred in 1980 to become the rector of the seminary in San Miguel where had had studied. He served in that capacity until 1986. He completed his doctoral dissertation in Germany and returned to his homeland to serve as confessor and spiritual director in Córdoba. Bergoglio succeeded Cardinal Quarracino on February 28, 1998. He was concurrently named ordinary for Eastern Catholics in Argentina, who lacked their own prelate. Pope John Paul II summoned the newly named archbishop to the consistory of February 21, 2001 in Vatican City and elevated Bergoglio with the papal honors of a cardinal. He was named to the Cardinal-Priest of Saint Robert Bellarmino.

He served on the Congregation of Clergy, Congregation of Divine Worship and Sacraments, Congregation of Institutes of Consecrated Life and the Congregation of Societies of Apostolic Life. Bergoglio became a member of the Commission on Latin American and the Family Council. As Cardinal, Bergoglio became known for personal humility, doctrinal conservatism and a commitment to social justice. A simple lifestyle has contributed to his reputation for humility. He lives in a small apartment, rather than in the palatial bishop's residence. He gave up his chauffeured limousine in favor of public transportation, and he reportedly cooks his own meals. Upon the death of Pope John Paul II, Bergoglio, considered papabile himself, participated in the 2005 papal conclave as a cardinal elector, the conclave that selected Pope Benedict XVI. A widespread theory says that he was in a tight fight with Ratzinger until he himself adviced crying [clarification needed] not to be voted.[2] Earlier, he had participated in the funeral of Pope John Paul II and acted as a regent alongside the College of Cardinals, governing the

Patients shifted there from any private hospital are being admitted as a medico-legal case. As a result of this, if the patient dies at GMC, the hospital will not certify the death unless a post-mortem is done. We recently had a young Ribandar lady diagnosed with cancer who had to be shifted from GMC to Manipal Hospital at Dona Paula as there was no ventilator available. The young lady who continued in a state of coma was arranged to be shifted back to GMC when a ventilator was made available. On being brought back to GMC she was re-admitted as a medico-legal case. After a few days at GMC she lost her battle against cancer. But the already much traumatized parents were in for further dose of horror and anguish when told by the doctors that a post mortem would have to be done on their departed daughter. It can be a medico legal case only if 1. A patient is brought by the police for examination and reporting, or by an order of the court for medical examination. 2. The patient was already attended to by a doctor and a medico-legal case was registered in the previous hospital, and the person is now referred for expert management/ advice. 3. When the patient himself expresses intention to register a case against an alleged accused.4. If after eliciting the history and examining the patient, the attending doctor feels that some investigation by law enforcement agencies is essential to establish and fix responsibility for the case in accordance with the law of the land. I had an opportunity to speak to various doctors in the know who were all of the opinion that the case in question should never have been considered as a medico-legal case. The word autopsy (also known as a post-mortem) is derived from the Greek word autopsia to see with one's own eyes?. After having seen the young lady succumb to cancer what else was left to be ascertained through an unnecessary post-mortem? Terry Tempest Williams had said ?An individual doesn't get cancer, a family does?. This is what the family must have felt when told that the young departed lady would have to undergo a post-mortem after having already bravely endured so much pain. Let us hope that the Dean of Goa Medical College Dr V.N.Jindal will discuss this issue thread bare with the Heads of his various departments so that in future the cases where the cause of death is well established, an unnecessary post mortem is avoided. A well laid out protocol may have to be in place and uniformly followed by all doctors. Aires Rodrigues T1 - B30, Ribandar Retreat Ribandar - Goa - 403006 Mobile: 9822684372

The ten-page draft policy on religious structures is being circulated to panchayats and is also available on the government site for perusal. After 30 days, the objections and suggestions received from the public will be compiled and submitted to the government, North Goa collector, Mihir Vardhan said. Treading cautiously on this issue, the BJP-led government had announced that it would invite suggestions from the public to finalize the policy to remove illegal structures as directed by an order of the Supreme Court. The erstwhile Congress government had carried out part of the process through committees and identified 979 illegal structures. Later, only 80 of them were earmarked for demolition, around 336 for regularization and the others for relocation. The unauthorized religious structures in non-comunidade land are proposed to be removed within 90 days after the order is passed. There are about 80 religious structures, including 31 in North Goa and 49 in South Goa, identified for removal by the district administration, the policy states. The land owning agency (LOA) or estate officer (EO) will have to apply to the TLC with details of encroachment, survey number, size and nature of encroachment and public hindrance and personal information about the encroacher. After the issue of show cause notice under Section 40 of land revenue code 1968 to the all concerned parties for a reply within 30 days, the TLC will issue orders, even ex-parte if the party representing the structure fails to appear, for its removal within 15 days. The entire cost of the removal of structures shall be borne by the land owning agency, the policy states. For relocation of religious structures, the land owning agency/estate officer has to apply to the TLC with requisite details and documents. If interested parties appear before the TLC, they will be given an opportunity of hearing within 15 days, the policy states. If parties fail to respond, the TLC will have the right to decide about relocation or demolition at the cost of the government or land owning agency. The district administration has recommended regularization of a total of 336 structures, including 292 in north Goa and 44 in south Goa. But the owners of the land on which the structures are located would have to apply to the TLC with requisite documents and a plan containing all details. In case of lack of response, the TLC will decide about the regularization of such structures at the owner's or government's cost. The structures which are difficult to be shifted will be removed, the policy states. If no organizations, trusts and managements apply for relocation of structures, they will be liable for demolition. The policy envisages formation of state, headed by chief minister and district and taluka level committees, headed by district collectors as chairmen. The DLC and TLC will inspect the records of all religious structures, which are more than hundred years old or less. If the structures are obstructing traffic movement, the panels will work out plans to shift them to other locations at the cost of the respective bodies, management or trusts. The government will carve out a separate fund to take care of the expenditure

The miners and builders decide who will rule Goa, isn't it? While Vedanta's mining will get world wide publicity for its impact on Goa, the filth of other culprits will be swept under the carpet and projected as philantrophists. How many of the elite activists will boycott a social function if the mining lobby is present or hosting it? These will be claimed to be two different issues, isn't it?

[Goanet] How many more deaths Mr. Chief Electrical Engineer?
Thanks Joe for the details. SAD SHOCKING.

Message-ID: 67466.27377...@web25906.mail.ukl.yahoo.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 How many more deaths Mr. Chief Electrical Engineer? No, I will not ask the same question to Power Minister or the Chief Minister as for them such deaths are minor issues as they feel things can be patched up after compensating the Family by a meagre amount of Rs. 2 lakhs per death. But this death by electrocution is very serious issue. Gross negligence on the part of Power Dept Staff noted. When the villagers saw the snapped wire, they immediately reported at the local section office by logging on the complaint book. Despite reporting, the electricity Dept. failed to switch off the power leaving there for two days thus causing death of an innocent young Arjun of Dhaukond Dharbandora on 8th May 2011 Power Minister, Chief Electrical Enginneer,AE, JE, Linesmen etc have serious explanation to give in this incident as to why the power was not switched off for 2days? What more? They were quick enough to join the snapped wire (not even replace by new one). Worst part of it is 'No guard loops' provided throughout the section even after 11 days from the incident. As if the Dept playing with the lives of the people (pl see various pics and Video here). No employer's visit to the household (Father working for Salgaocars mines as watchman) No MP or MLA's Visit (MLA Salgaokar), No Power minister nor Chief minister visited No Chief Electrical Engineer nor AE or JE or linesman visited No Patrakar or Media people visited No financial Help received from anyone ? Young Arjun was the only child. (An ITI Student) What the parents must be going through? As for me, I have personally seen the mother sitting in one corner and will not move or talk God, Give courage to them to bear the loss. Arjun was happy go lucky as any young boy of his age. His father gave him new bike, just a month ago. ? Electricity Dept, needed to be taken to the court. More and more cases of negligence reported. ? Note: JoeGoaUk wishes to contribute upto Rs.10k if anyone or any Lawyer takes up this criminal case against Power Dept. They can?t get away all the time. Following my above comment on Facebook, there was another matching offer from another one http://www.facebook.com/joegoauk/posts/222018104475160?cmntid=222109584466012 Hope someone will come forward to take up the case ?

Some part of Goa still looks like HEAVEN , thanks to Cheryl D'souza and ALL supporters whose blood group is definitely GOA+ (positive) for they love PARADISE( Nature- trees, fields, hills, mountains, seas) Its sad to read from Cheryl's life story that some spiritual leaders are teaming up with the GOA-ve (Negative)blood group team who has made Goa look like HELL by destroying nature to accommodate megaprojects, illegal mining, allowing foreigners(Russians et all) to buy land built restaurants where Goans are banned, etc...

Yesterday, I made it a point to visit Caurem along with Adv. Antonio Lobo, to shake hands with the agitating women ( including Cheryl D'Souza) of Aguada jail fame of the past and to congratulate them on their anti-mining stand. At Quepem, we were misdirected and in the bargain we landed up proceeding to Curchorem-Sanguen instead of Caurem. What we experienced has shocked us to our toes. Normal road traffic is not possible with hundreds of laden truck proceeding towards Sanguem and empty ones returning to the mines. Other vehicles must zoom in an out between the trucks whenever opportunity is available. This is not a traffic problem. This is a human rights problem. Ordinary life is paralysed totally and completely. POOR THEM. Being the core members of the GRA as well as of the GSRP, we feel that we must do something terrible to avert human tragedy in this area. Then we visited Maina in Caurem, the home to Cheryl D'Souza on a farm stead of 240 acres nesting between beautiful green hills after shaking hands with the motley group of women still on daily protests. Cheryl poured out her life story to us, about how friends have turned foes, how even spiritual leaders have turned their backs on this trio - the old and ailing mother ( who is also of Aguada face), the woman with guts of brass and her teenage school going girl who was forced to learn karate and judo as part of her survival lessons. Their only safety is their ferocious dogs. A tour of the farm was invigorating. Cheryls hubby died of fence electricution at the age of 35 something when they, according to her, had just paid off the loans on this farm. Tony's body is cremated on the grounds, she says, and that is my resolve not to sell this iron ore laden ( 60+ grade) estate which is in the eye of the Goa ministers, the Alemaos. They want me to sell, she says. This will only happen over my dead body, she shouts. A hot cup of tea to go with the life story was what made us both more patriotic than what we were. Cheryl is one hundered per cent GOAN and she is ferrociously defending her rights to live a quiet peaceful life of hard work and prosper. I don't want the multi crores that these punks are offering me. They will get this land only over my dead dead body, she says. Meantime, she showed us the vegetables she is growing besides the various fruits including heavily laden mango tree grafts. My only problem is the hordes of monkeys which are displaced from around the mining areas. She markets her produncts at a distant Varca on every day basis which includes mouth watering pickles. We have taken her offer to spend a week- end with her on this sprawling farm, the only place in God's heaven when the sorrounding is gone to dogs (including the very road she has to travel on daily basis) with indiscriminate mining going on. I have to change the tyres of my vehicles every 2 to 3 months, she says. The parting piece she tells us is that, 'IF I SELL, ALL 3 SIDES SURROUND MY ESTATE ARE GOING TO EXPLODE INTO IRREVERSIBLE MINING THAT WILL BE THE END OF GOA AND GOANS. We have parted advising her to keep her guns loaded and to check the live status of the bullets in the belts. Cheers floriano goasuraj/GRA 9890470896 www.goasu-raj.org
Re: [Goanet] Goanet Digest, Vol 6, Issue 434
Dear Floriano, Congratulations, best wishes and support 24x7x365 to you. You are the master BUILDER who builts legally and with truth which the 40 SERVANTS of lies and illegal means could not destroy. You are the OWNER of righteousness while the prominent 40 are the TENANTS of manipulations, wrongdoings, corruptions. You may NOT find many people for the inauguration. Reason : a) DORA APPARTMENTS is in MOIRA and NOT Qatar, Dubai, London ( where everything is provided ON THE HOUSE, IN THE HOUSE, UNDER THE HOUSE) b) People are not used to travelling empty handed , short distance. They are used to travelling with filled suitcases , long distances. However, those who know you well, and those whom you know well, will come to congratulate you and bless this and all other projects. Why don't you tell the people of Goa the prices you charged for the flats in DORA. Let them know which builder is building for Goans and which builders(and their supporters) are bleeding Goans. I know you will say it is not good to praise ones own tail, but facts are facts and should be known. All said and done, Floriano, rest assured , Your Mother continues to bless you, DORA Appts. and all your activities from her eternal home. Amen.

Thank YOU. 8th. May, 2011 will see the inauguration of my third apartment building 'Dora Apartments' at Moira. It was started in September 2006 and I got the Occupancy Certificate in Nov 2010. The Occupancy was slated to be given to the clients after 18 months but it took 50. ( i.e. a delay of 32 months which is 2.6 years) WHY?? Because I refuse to pay BRIBES. I am on record for having paid 'zilch' bribes ( i.e. not a single paisa, not a cup of tea) to anyone in my dealings with Government and semi-government officials since I started my (retired) occupation in Goa since 1995 [except for a 1 ltr Black Lable to the Electrical Assistant Engineer to expedite the 3 phase connection so that my brother could start his crown cap factory in 1988 - that too at his office (Mapusa) bang on his office table and which episode had shocked my brother to his boots]. This particular delay ( Dora Apartments) was because I had asked the TCP officer (Mapusa) if he wanted to sit in the 'can' and cool his heels and also lose his retirement benefits, when he had asked me for a bribe at the very first inspection of the site for contraction, besides, that Dayanand Narvekar thought he could eliminate his opposition by demolishing Dora Apartments, question about which illegality he had raised in the Goa Legislative Assembly, even. The message I want to send to GOA through this 'INAUGURAL CEREMONY' on 8th May is: ' DO NOT BRIBE, EVEN IF YOU BE HARASSED TO NO END' In due course of time during this harassment, when I was taken to High Court through a Writ Petition, I defended myself in person and am on record for having told the double Bench ( Justice Vasifdhar -Justice Salvi - 29th. march 2010) - Your Lordships. Please pass an order to demolish my building if you can find a square inch of illegality. Properties worth crores of rupees have been demolished thro' my PILs numbering 7 in this Hon'ble HC and therefore by virtue of this I must not be allowed to indulge in illegalities. The Petition was thrown out before admission. I am extremely sorry for the tardy response. But FYI, the above is the GOA SU-RAJ WAY all the WAY. I am taking the liberty of extending you a 'public invite' for the coming inauguration, and , for which I beg forgiveness, from you as well as from GOANET admin. Cheers floriano goasuraj 9890470896 www.goasu-raj.org PS: If God has to help us, we Goans must help GOA to be non-corrupt, first thro' examples such as above.

[Goanet] Churchill denies calling Goans ‘squea ling pigs’
Churchill denies calling Goans ‘squealing pigs’ Offers to resign if statement proved HERALD REPORTER MARGAO, JUNE 14 Strongly denying that he had ever called Goans as squealing pigs, the PWD Minister offered to resign both as an MLA and Minister if proved that he had made the statement. “What I had said was that the NGOs are always crying when the government takes up development and also when there is no development. I had never compared Goans to crying pigs. I have no right to say that”, an agitated Alemao said. The Navelim MLA said he would never call Goans pigs and accused his political opponent behind the campaign against him on the issue. “If I have ever called Goans pig, I am ready to resign as an MLA. What I had said was that in Goa, there should be a policy on housing as there are around 1000-2000 Goan builders and around two lakh workers employed in the construction industry. Everywhere, the NGOs demand a stop on the construction activity”, he said, adding “in Goa, Christians rear pigs and kill them. If we go to catch pigs to rear or kill them, they don’t know why they cry”. In the same way, he said that the NGOs are crying even when the government tries to take up developmental project such as the bridges in his Navelim constituency. He blamed his political opponent from Navelim for writing letters to the Editor in the local papers. “Goans by and large know what Churchill has done for Goa. It is very difficult to get another Churchill. The sacrifice which I and my family made for the Konkani language, everyone knows. People will realise my contribution only when I leave this world”, Alemao added. “Some people even came to Carmona with a pig. My supporters were agitated and disturbed over the false campaign, but I advised them not to react”, he said, and reminded his political opponents that only God and the people of Goa can finish him politically and termed his opponents as mere “samples”. _ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969

I spoke to the collector's secretary (who is well known to me). She directed me to the Flying Squad incharch Mr. Ferrao. I gave him the details and the whereabouts of the hill cutting.

Preamble: South Goa has the distinction of coming to Goa's rescue on two counts. GOA was thus saved once through the ferociously fought Opinion Poll of 16 January, 1967, Goa remaining Goa that was for 450 odd years, thus saving Goa's culture, ethnicity, unique identity and above all the Goanness of Goans, irrespective of their religious beliefs and other definitions. All this would have been lost if South Goa did not fight tooth and nail against the Merger of Goa into Maharashtra. GOA was saved the second time when Goa's mother tongue was threatened, not being able to occupy the status of Goa's Official Language and when Goans, especially the Shastikar Goans again fought tooth and nail for KONKANI in 1986. It is altogether a different matter that Devnagiri script was elevated to ignore the much widely used Konkani's Roman script. The tussle that we see today between these two scripts only helps in keeping Goa's mother tongue less developed and less effective. Since 1986, Goa has been torn to pieces, Goans never seeming to unite as one to keep Goa's mainstays which are its hills, its vales, its rivers, its forests and green cover, its wild-life, its water-falls, its endless stretches of golden beaches, its agricultural fields, in short Goa's basic and world admired ecological balance and environmental marvel. But more than that the Goan Identity seems to be on the diluting trend. And as expected, when Goans themselves have been divided in the understanding as to what exactly they want, outsiders have edged in and taken advantage to the extent that most Goans that matter believe that their beloved GOA has reached a stage where it is beyond saving. The most blamed entity is Goa's Political class, warranting Goa's much loved artist and singer-musician- REMO Fernandes to publicly declare with frustration that Goa's politicians of all colour and creed must be drowned into the Arabian Sea. The Question is : 'Is there a hope for GOA, then?' The deafening answer is 'YES', through the newly born 'PPS' - the superior movement of the conscious people of Goa which will work towards uniting all other people's movements in Goa for just one cause, on one agenda... the agenda to provide Goa the much needed 'POLITICAL SANITY' where 'political madness has been reigning steadfast since 1961. The 'PPS' movement is designed to be totally and completely 'political', non competitive and 'non-partisan' in nature. Goans are fed-up and frustrated of being taken for jolly good rides by cunning and self-seeking politicians for far too long. They have now chosen to come together to demand political sanity in the way Goa is governed. And to demand this of Goa's political dispensation, who else is better positioned than the Shastikars who have been the guardians of Goa? In the maiden meet of the PPS, the following RESOLUTION is unanimously passed on 25th. April, 2010 at the Grace Church Hall, Margao [South Goa] in order to rise to the occasion of saving Goa for yet the third and hopefully the last time, which resolution reads as follows: THE RESOLUTION WE THE PEOPLE OF GOA DO HEREBY COME TOGETHER TO STAY TOGETHER IN OUR FIGHT TO BRING POLITICAL SANITY IN GOA'S GOVERNANCE FOR ONCE, HAVING BEEN CHEATED AND FRUSTRATED BY OUR POLITICIANS AND OUR POLITICAL PARTIES WHOM WE HAVE BEEN ELECTING AT EVERY ELECTION BELIEVING THAT THEY WILL WORK FOR THE BETTERMENT OF GOA AND GOANS. WE HAVE REALISED THAT EVEN IF WE ELECTED 'SAINTS' TO GOVERN US, WE SHALL BE DISAPPOINTED IN THEM IF THEY CHOSE TO WORK RANDOMLY AND UNCO-ORDINATEDLY IN THE ABSENCE OF A SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE TO GO BY AND TO FOLLOW. HENCEFORTH, WE WANT OUR POLITICIANS AND OUR POLITICAL PARTIES TO WORK TOWARDS PUTTING TOGETHER THE PROCEDURES FOR SUCH A CO-ORDINATED SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE IN PLACE, FIRST, BEFORE THEY COME VOOING US FOR OUR VOTES. WE, IN OUR OWN TURN AND STYLE, WILL CHOOSE THAT POLITICAL PARTY OR A COLLECTIVE OF SINCERE PEOPLE WHICH NOT ONLY BRINGS OUT A WRITEN DOWN CO-ORDINATED SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE FOR GOA UNDER WHICH IT WILL WORK BUT ALSO SELL IT TO

Hi Joe and fans of Alfred Rose It is always good to hear Alfred Rose's songs, but my humble request is have musical shows which does justice to Melody King Alfreds melodious voice. May all those who can sing definately sing Alfreds songs but the musicals and commercial or be it promoting his songs should be by those singers who can sing Alfred Rose's songs with ease, comfort and melody that brings alive Alfred and do not let it die.

Since I never heard of floods in Goa and rechecked with my Mom too and she said did not see nor heard floods of this magnitude ever in Goa since last 100 years. Nature(Mother Earth’s) fury is a reminder to humans(Goans especialy), especially those who are greedy and out to destroy Goas enviornment by abusing it by cutting down hills, trees, illegal mining, mega projects, CRZ violations. Salute to the locals irrespective of caste, creed, religion, colour went about helping those in need and those who went only for photography sake-shame on you . Taking the liberty to put here the email detailing the situation before and after and the urgent needs. Rgds-Mario Do Not Play With Nature (Freddy Fernandes) During the good “young” days, I was often told by my parents not to play with fire and water and they made sure that I understood the why factor of it. Fire and water are major contributors to life as well as destruction, it is said that “one tree can give us millions of match sticks, but one match stick could destroy millions of trees”, further it is also said that “a drop of water can give life to a dieing man, but a strong flow of water can wipe away cities”. Mother nature has been very good to us Goans, in all my life I have never heard of any major natural disaster on Goan soil. As gracious and kind as mother nature is, it can also be very destructive as well, hence we should not take mother nature for granted and abuse it’s generosity. The cloud burst over Poinguinim, and the flood caused thereafter should be a reminder for us that it could have been worse and should be thankful that it wasn’t. However advanced we may be in science and technology, we will never ever be equipped enough to face the wrath and fury of mother nature, it is only advisable for us to live in ambience with nature and follow it’s natural progression. It is indeed very sad that a lot of our people have been badly hit by this tragedy, some dead, houses, properties and fields destroyed but it is heartening indeed to read that the locals helped each other in this time of adversity, caste, colour, status and religion was forgotten, it was humans, humane effort that saved the day for a good many. Leaders do evolve from ordinary men and women during crises. It was also not surprising to note that the politicians, police and the bureaucrats did nothing to help but were somehow there for the photography sessions and to “take stock” of the situation as they say, which undoubtedly means trying to figure out how much they could benefit from this disaster (letter by Urvee Kavindra Phaldesai, Poinguinim on Herald “Real heroes of the deluge dated 5th Oct’09). Soter, in his letter “Gods are angry” on Herald dated 5th Oct’09, states that during the good old days, people would have thought that it was God’s punishment for the crimes and atrocities committed against mother nature and it could be very much true, because the rate at which our forest area is receding and our green cover disappearing because of mining and hill cutting to accommodate mega housing projects, it is all this destruction that contribute to climatic changes and cause the imbalance, sooner or later worse disasters are bound to happen, if we do not show any tangible change in attitude towards mother nature. Men’s greed along with his uncanny disregard for ecology and environmental safety, will most certainly invite the wrath of mother nature in all it’s ferocity. We have to respect nature and preserve it’s generous giving’s. I only hope and pray that we Goans do not have to bear the blunt of the ferocity of mother nature because of the greed and arrogance of our politicians. Like my parents had told me “do not play with nature.” Save our environment, save Goa It was beyond anyone imagination, as to why we do not have a comprehensive mining policy even though mining was carried out even during the Portuguese rule and are absolutely astounded to note, that Goa till date does not have a state disaster management system set up. Aren’t we all sitting ducks, if disaster strikes Goa ?

OR you love to get a 'kick' on every step you take on the road! Data/statistics do reveal that Kerala is no.1 in terms of alcohol consumption. Let them be. Atleast in this field lets not compete.

In a statement September 5, the Kerala Catholic Bishops? Council, the premier representative body of a sizeable Catholic Christian community in Kerala, stated that studies conducted by state government agencies had found that drunken driving was the main reason for the increased rate of accidents in the state. Instead of organising effective anti-liquor campaigns, the Left Democratic Front government, with the single motive of increasing tax revenue through sale of liquor, was causing great harm to society by sanctioning to more such shops, the bishops said. ?This must stop immediately,? demanded the statement issued by KCBC president Archbishop Daniel Acharuparambil and other office-bearers. Taxes from liquor sales have swelled the state coffers by rupees 193 crore this fiscal alone (from Rs. 1,163 crore in the last financial year to Rs 1,356 crore). According to the figures provided by the state planning board, a whopping 27,972 road accidents were recorded in 2008 in which 2,868 lost their lives and as many as 32,934 people were injured or maimed _ Drag n’ drop—Get easy photo sharing with Windows Live™ Photos. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/products/photos.aspx

Did not they live happily without fences around the houses, drank tender coconut water for good health, never dreamt of malaria since pigs took care of the surroundings, lived without fear as there was a friend in every neighbours and neighbours were all around our village and near by villages too.

Sorry if you love the Air conditioners, fast foods, adulterated drinks, drugs, mafia style, heartless attitude, big ego, depended on others for every small thing, no love for trees/fields/beaches/nature, think money is health, then better leave GOA and migrate and don't call yourself GOAN anymore.

Re: [Goanet] Goans lived in misery under Portuguese
Dear Floriano From what I heard from my grandparents and on reading your note on Portuguese administration, I am convinced , clear and have a true feeling that law and order/administration then was very fair, clean , impartial and above all FAST(not like todays 20-25 years long legal battles in Goa courts-never ending dates and never say die advocates/judges mentality). Todays Goas administration from its effects on goans can be termed as 'swine flu' and there is an urgent need for the 'vaccination' in the form of Goan peoples voices as this administration is killing goans peace, freedom, rights for too long now. Actually we do not mind these donkeys to rule us and never mind if they do not carry our food, clothing, shelther things and reach them from the market place to our door steps. We will do it ourselves since these donkeys do not know what SERVICE means. However, these 40 donkeys are quite clever that they do carry our stuff, they carry our GOAN LAND, FIELDS, HILLS and take it all the way to DELHI , RUSSIA, and other places. Floriano, I have seen Ministers , their vast properties, no. of cars, and their wealth, but I will anytime prefer to be governed by sincere people like you(well people do change after getting power, but you are not an ordinary person who is waiting for power, you are already filled with power which is not for sale) OR party(name it GSRP) and I would love the ordinary bread(kakon) and the Goan tea in a coconut shell to start the day . This I still remember enjoying alongwith my Titi(Uncle) on the calangute beach after they finished offloading the fishing nets from the boats on the beach and the energetic and strong women folks taking their 'fish pandlios' to market. I am talking about 1975. Please , please bring back the portuguese administration minus the portuguese and please bring back the days of 1975 or earlier minus the ugly princess, I hate the sight of this and wonder how ugly and sick the owners mind and heart is , who disowned it after making use of it and making money. And worst still there are probably still many people who have and still keeping quite as they probably get gifts, cars, properties and does not even go to the beach for a walk , not do they care for the environment , nor do they care for the fisher folks future in terms of fishing, or for the people of calangute candolim who love the beach. Best Wishes to you and GSRP.

Were they the elite Goans? Where they the down to earth, scratching for a living, Goans? Yes, we had Morris Minors, WW Beetles, Willys Jeeps, Austin Cambriges, St . Pauli Girl Beer, Madeira, Moscatel, Granjo so on and so forth. But who could afford it? According to me, Goa saw a diciplined administration in all respects. I salute the Portuguese for that. And I hate my own country's administration from my very guts. This is only possible because I have experienced both and I am free to choose which one I like. It does not matter that the Portuguese looted Goa. Our Delhi High Commands are doing worse with the local chamchas helping them to help themselves. I might have not had more things on my dinner plate than others, then, during the Portuguese era. But I certainly had the satisfaction of being governed fairly, cleanly and impartially. We have sent away the horses. They had to be sent away, no doubt about it. But we opened our doors wide for our own donkeys to walk in and make our lives miserable. And we cannot even blame any one for it but ourselves. That is why Goa Su-Raj is born. To bring back the Portuguese administration into Goa back again, minus the Portuguese. And perhaps, if India needs someone other than the Nehru's and Gandhi's Kangress which has made our lives miserable, then maybe Goa Su-Raj will qualify to lead India as India Su-Raj.

Lets see just one of the DOMESTIC side views :- the 40 thieves have never seen pound/dollars/euros/rubbles so they sell LAND which was preserved by our grandparents for us and accumulate these currencies and i) when they fall sick they go to the same countries and pay it back for treatment, ii) use this money to send their children to pursue education to other countries, and their children do not return iii)migrate and end up loosing in stocks/recession.
