First of all the powers that be in India are saying that India's medical
facilities are too inferior when compared to foreign ones. Medical facilities
in India are only for the Aam Admi . Goa Medical College is an inferior
medical facility for the Ministers, and even the top notch hospitals in
Eloquent as usual, and interesting perspective by VM on the under construction
MOPA airport.
However, I have heard it alleged that vested interests have acquired vast
tracts of land at fire sale prices adjoining the future MOPA airport, and
will make an outrageous profit when the airport is
Dr. Eduardo Faleiro in his scholarly and well researched posting, states that
disharmony among religions will lead to conflicts in India. I do not dispute
this premise. However, in India as well as many other countries on this earth,
I am convinced that conflicts will begin earlier because
Now, now Louise, I take exception to your characterization of old Goan men

As a true Goencar, when my thirst buds need quenching, I hold off till I
return to the little taverna in my village, on the brink of the paddy fields
where the ambience is great, and where my friends Pedro and Forsu and Vaman
keep me company and make fun of me.

A very heart-warming story indeed.
There are perhaps thousands of such needy families in Goa. We need to reach
out to help them become self sufficient. As the saying goes give a man
some fish and he will feed his family for a day, instead give him a fishing
line or fishing net and he will

I dont mind, but we have had several requests for change in venue. In the
past we have had it at Kala Academy, and Clube Vasco da Gama as well as the
Quarterdeck./Riviera.
Because of the various requests I was advised to look for a change in

Please join us at our annual informal meeting of Goanetters on Thursday,

Yes, it is true that Goa has a lot of catching up to do with the Industrial
world.
OSHA inspectors in the US would have a fit, seeing the un-safe conditions
under which people work in India..welders welding without safety
goggles, construction workers without safety hats or steel tip
Dunno about Selma's experiences. Labor in Goa is now at a premium. If you
want a day laborer, you better be able to pay the price they quote and all
the extras they demand.
In my neighborhood, for the few households that still cultivate their own

Great article Gabe. Hopefully one day this test will be affordably
available in India,
and then we can put an end to people's notions of sujperiority based on

more hybridized than we could ever imagine.

May Father Saldanha who has touched the hearts of so many rest in eternal
peace.

The Sari is beautiful female attire which is very flattering to a woman's
figure. Not everyone can wsear a sari with pizzaz or elan. Most Indian
women are slender and have a willowy figure which makes then very attractive
in a sari.Since many women in India used to carry pots and firewood
