Re: [Goanet] A gift... of Goan books to Karachi
Selma, There you go again. On one hand, thanking me for the suggestions (though I am inclined to believe the thank you does not come from your heart) and, on the other, you deliver your snide remark that suggestions are dime-a-dozen. Books are costlier. Anyone who want to solicit donations must first be humble in his/her approach. You can't go to the wider public with an head-in-the-cloud attitude. Such display of uppity behaviour is a big turn-off. You got to choose your words carefully; they must be charitable to those from who you seek donations. I know suggestions come easy, and they cost nothing. But it is important that you accept them gracefully. Chuck them out if you find them useless, but everyone has a right to suggest and comment. If I had not made any suggestions, we would not have known that you and Eddie are in the talking phase with the Swindon Library. Good luck to you guys. However, you should have given out this information in the first instance. It is important to make people aware of what you are doing in respect to this initiative. In your reply, you have not answered whether the GOA UK would be ready to gift the books and if the Swindon Goans can raise the money on their own. Have you spoken to these two associations before you and Eddie took it upon yourselves to do the charity work? I am just trying to drill out information from you. Goans who patronise tiatrs and other cultural events and bring lot of Konkani CDs and VCDs from Goa can very well afford to spend some money for this cause of donating books to the library. As the German proverb goes, charity sees the need, not the cause. So far we haven't heard from Swindon Goans who may be members of this forum if they are not capable of meeting the need on their own and would like Goans from outside their community and elsewhere around the world to sponsor a book for them. Neither have there been any voices from some of UK Goan members. Silence is indeed better part of discretion. If some UK Goans know the old Hindi song, Naach Meri Bulbul, please sing it now '-) Eugene

I Nunes responds: It appears Mistress Carvalho , Goanet’s “esteemed authoress”, has naively taken the satirical soubriquet of a Goanetter* to heart, and now attempts a shakedown.

Re: [Goanet] A gift... of Goan books to Karachi (Carvalho)
Just because I Nunes gave names of books, it was unfair of Selma to provoke the goanetter into implying that she should put the money where the mouth is. Firstlfy, it would have been right if either Selma or Eddie had announced their charitable cause on this forum. What was, in fact, mentioned was that some books were to be given to the Karachi Goans as gift. Secondly, the GOA UK could have taken the lead in helping the Goan community in Swindon through a donation of books to the library. It is unknown so far if the association has made any profits frofm the recently-held Global Goan Convention. If so, the association can think of such a gift now. However, a gift announced as part of the convention would have been a good gesture. Thirdly, Selma could use her hotline to the NRI Commissioner to get him to make such a donation through his office. I am sure Eduardo Faliero would not say no to Selma. For spending 12 nodding heads on what some termed as a party at taxpayer's money, the department could have could at least some of it to help the Swindon Goans with a gift of books. In this way, the money would have been much better used then getting pigs at the trough. The Swindon Goans would thank the NRI deparment a million times for its benevolence. The Swindon Goans have at least two associations and I am not sure if the rival groups have settled their issue of which one is the legitimate one. However, the Goan community here holds feasts and other cultural events. Someone can tell us if these events generate any profits and, if so, the money could be used to purchase books. A special appeal could also go out to the Goans for such a project. Or, a donation box could be put up at some of these cultural events and at tiatrs. How about a charity tiatr for this purpose? Lastly, Swindon Goans who have interest in Goan books would have bought them in Goa and may have carried them to their new place of settlement. Or, they could always get them on their visit to their homeland or get someone to send them across the ocean. Many of them visiting Goa on holidays buy lot of stuff for the kitchen. Some of them who want to keep abreast of what is happening in Goa's publishing world can log on to some of the websites of Goan book distributors. The GOA UK or the Goan association in Swindon could make a request to the local library to purchase subscription to magazines such as Goa Today, Gulab, The Goan Review, etc. In case the library fails to do so because of budget contraints or for any other reason, the GOA UK or the Swindon association could purchase the subscriptions and donate the mags to the library. Perhaps, some Goans in London, Swindon or elsewhere may be subscribers to Goa Today and these Goans can donate the mag to the library once they have done reading it. I was informed by a Swindon Goan, who I recently met in Goa, thst many newly-arrived Goans are struggling to make ends meet. But there must be some Goans who could spare some of their money to donate for the purchase of books. These are some of the options that both Selma and Eddie should have explore or could still do so instead of putting someone like Ms Nunes on the backfoot. However, whatever Selma and Eddie are doing as a team is out of their own kind hearts but it should not be termed as a charity move to help in the intellectual uplifting of Swindon Goans. Then to crown it all, the issue that was raised first was giving a gift of books to Karachi Goans. In her characteristic style Selma veered it towards the Swindon Goans. Get the first issue settled and then focus on Swindon. Reinforcing her inimitable style, Selma has come out swinging at Goan bulbuls in the UK. No doubt Selma is soaring high in her new environment, which seems to let her fly freely instead of being holed up in the US abode, and probably thinks her role in the success of the Global Goan Convention and her hobnobbing with the likes of Eduardo Faleiro makes her a special species of birds. I will leave the Marxism vs Capitalism part and her uneducated view on what kudds were and what have been their contribution to Goans in cities like Mumbai and Kolkatta in times past. Eugene Correia Time to take my prescription, that is rereading Selma's article on Salcette in the convention brochure ;-)
Re: [Goanet] A gift... of Goan books to Karachi
Eugene, 1. Just to clarify the list of books Frederick put out is not up for discussion and consensus building. Those books are already with the Karachi Goans. They are sponsored by me and in part by Frederick Noronha who subsidized the costs of the books, to send them as many as possible. Frederick and I share many similar goals and aspirations for the Goan community, despite being ideologically different. 2. Eddie Fernandes and I are now in talks with the Swindon library to do something similar. UK libraries have their own formalities and constraints, so we are still in the talking phase. Those who are interested in sponsoring a book or two can contact me. Note, these are not second hand books, these are newly released books which will be bought from the publisher. 3. Thank you once again Eugene for all your suggestions. Suggestions are a dime-a-dozen. Books sadly are costlier. Best, Selma

Selma, Thanks for your comments. While I really appreciate your practical help, let me hasten to point out this isn't about money. Everyone can do what they *can* do, and what their interest levels allow them to do. When we were part of the Free Software movement, my strong belief was that the miracle of loaves and fishes was a precursor to the magic principles of free software itself! When everyone gives according to their abilities (sorry to those whom I've offended for sounding too close to Uncle Marx... but many Goan institutions have been run on such principles in the past, including the kudds!), then everyone is fed, and basketfuls are left over. Or sheltered. The other model is the I-said-you-said-I-did-you-didn't-do, which we know much about in recent times. Including (or specially?) in cyberspace. It simply doesn't work, and only breeds more bitterness.

But yes, there is a crying need to have more, easily accessible and well-marketed books in Konkani too that appeal to a wide section. While there is quite a bit of government support now to publish Konkani (and Marathi) books here, I think there is a mismatch between supply and demand. And some flaws in the way the 'market' works on this front. Correct me if wrong. More importantly I would argue: please do not see the activity of buying a book as charity! You shouldn't be buying to support someone, but buying because you want to, because you feel attracted to it, and because you find value in it. Reducing the act of buying to charity is a sure way to send out the wrong message on all sides. To authors and publishers here who would feel there's no need to struggle to get out better products. To expats, who feel they're wasting their money Also, I did not want to get into this proving-myself-right position, by Selma's flame-baits are tough to ignore!

I wouldn't agree with this mix-up of arguments. Nobody's talking of a free lunch, but just a very primodial form of social entrepreneurship, doing a good job -- in a very cost-efficient manner -- and doing it well. In a way that so many people benefit, specially those who would have been otherwise excluded from the 'market'. Where is 'labour' involved in the kudds? In whatever sense they use the word? People stayed together, for a common cause, pooled their resources, lived by commonly-accepted rules... and got off with accomodation in the heart of town at a pittance of the market price. Please tell us what was the cost of the kudds? The only cost was to the community as a whole, when a few smarties cashed in on the phenomenally high real estate prices, and sold community assets for private gain. The comunidades in Goa can also been seen as sort-of community-controlled assets. Even if they have problematic aspects to them (dominant caste-controlled, women left out in the cold), they were early cooperatives of sorts. Bhatkar-cooperatives, if you like! I do not think your view of the kudds is fair to them, just because, as you put it, someone used them a happy hunting grounds for recruiting crew. Which, in itself, might not have been a bad thing anyway. Definitely not for any committed capitalist. FN
Re: [Goanet] A gift... of Goan books to Karachi
Fred-bhaai, by no means am I suggesting charity. Goa gov'ment supports Concani? I see! Quiet the contraire: what I am suggesting is action by subscribing and giving subscriptions to folks who read Concani. Showing support rather than charity. Its a lovely language and one of the few things one can do is proudly speak it, keep it alive. Supporting the publications is keeping it alive.
