[Goanet] re VIVA-RE-GOA presented by late NOLASCO DIAS
I would also be interested in buying a copy of the cassette. I remember the song Buddi ka Bal as Nolasco sang it repeatedly as my dad worked on finetuning it with Nolasco. I wish to know the names of the songs on the cassette and if any name of music composer is given on it.I used to laugh at its lyrics. Buddki Ka Bal iincidentally is Hindi (as a slang perhaps) for sugar-candy. Vendors used to come around on their bicycles shouting, Buddi Ka Bal. As a kid I enjoyed it. Coming again to Nolasco, his song Moipass with Jeanette is a good melody and was a favourite on All India Radio Goa.. Thanks to Eddie Verdes for sending me the MP3 version. I had a song Khoro Mog by Young Chico and Nephie Rod with the same tune but some words are changed and also the last verse. It is from William de Curtorim's cassette. I believe William (God bless his soul) had a reputation for remixing songs to avoid copyright problem. Good to know that TAG is recognizing Nolasco's contribution to Goan music and tiatr, though he staged an operrata called Amorechi Ghantto, which did not find favour with Goians who were and still are in love with tiatrs. Nolasco lost lot of money on put up the show. Eugene Correia --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---

Re: [Goanet] ALEXYZ Daily Cartoon (21Dec11)
Pappia de Siolim, now it is Bottoms being fingered! As one of my elegant friends (a woman) puts it, all lechers are not in the same league. And knowing something about dexterity, although I may not be considered as being in the same league as surgeons (will not cross swords with those laser handling mavens) pinching requires skill--not so crass pinking, unless one is also into embroidering/ornamenting lingerie (also, pinkingpinking shears).

[Goanet] Talking Photos: Floats parade depicting Goan Tradition and Culture
Floats parade depicting Goan Tradition and Culture Organised by Art and Culture, Govt. of Goa A part of Golden Jubilee celebrations of Goa Liberation Floats were good but it seems not organised too well. To start with, there was a delay of one hour, started at 6 as against 5pm as if some attempts were made to make the event parade nocturnal. The beautiful young dancers dancing various Folk dances were interrupted by the DJ (music) which stopped or jumped in the middle. The last Tableau depicting large Portuguese house was too slow or stopped often and as such the gap between the second last and the last was as wide as one kilometre. i.e. when the house was at SBI bank, the other section was well into the vicinity of Children Park at Campal. Many missed the last part as they thought it was end of the parade after the second last one. This also mean, traffic jam at one side of the DB Road. There was one tableay depicting Temples, Mosque and church, which was too good some pics here Kunndi Dance http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547652191/in/photostream Dhalo dance http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547654031/in/photostream/ dhekni dance http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547655743/in/photostream/ Mando http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547657463/in/photostream/ Brass Band http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547659533/in/photostream/ Zagor / Mussal Khell http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547661837/in/photostream/ Fishing / angling etc http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547664087/in/photostream/ Little dancers http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547664637/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547665197/in/photostream/ Tambdi Surla http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547666909/in/photostream/ Tiger, Cow, angles http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547668875/in/photostream/ Tabdi Surla, Mangueshi, Safa Masjid, Old Goa http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547670847/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547672975/in/photostream/ Deepaji Rane’s revolt of 1852 http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547674741/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547675331/in/photostream/ Interior of an old Portuguese Landlord’s house http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547676681/in/photostream/ Neuri Making during ‘Chouti’ or ‘Ganesh Chaturthi http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk46/6547678209/in/photostream/ Video coming soon.. joego...@yahoo.co.uk for Goa NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---

[Goanet] Occupy Wall Street NEEDS YOU!!
Though it seems our fight is a perpetual uphill battle, we refuse to give an inch! We cannot stand by while our nation crumbles under the greed and corruption of the BANKERS and paid off POLITICIANS!! We say no more and we are being heard. They have tried to silence us and we yelled louder! They tried to remove us and for every one they removed two took their spot! We realize that not everyone can take to the street due to family, age etc.. but you can help us in our fight against tyranny. There are three ways you can help. One is volunteer through our site to help organize protest.Two is raise awareness about the cause! Our nations media is controlled by the very people we protest and thus love to skew the facts. Three is donate. We know times are tough but every single penny that we take in goes toward feeding the protesters as well as blankets to keep us from freezing.If you feel a calling to do any three of those things please visit the site below and click the appropriate link on the site.

Re: [Goanet] THE EXIT OF DGP DR ADITYA ARYA
[1] 20 December 2011 Sandeep Heble posted How could Dr Arya expect to survive in Goa by having a rare orthopedic disorder? He had a straight spine, when he was required to be spineless. [2] 20 December 2011 Aires Rodriguez wrote (the language is clumsy but the point can be discerned): Having witnessed DGP Arya himself succumb to the political pulls and pressures, I had first hand experience interacting with the DGP for no personal favours but over three issues in public interest. On the case relating to the cheating of the State exchequer by two Advocates the DGP had assured me of immediate action. However the instructions he gave to his subordinates were to the contrary. [3] 22 July 2011 from Nisser Dias http://www.nizgoenkar.net/newsDetails.php?id=89: It is for the first time that a top cop has stood up to the Home minister and stalled the orders. For this act of the DGP he should be awarded a bravery medal by the people of the state for curbing political interference in the functioning of the police department. ps: I am not sure if Sandeep Heble had read this and if he has any comments about the veracity of the following also from Nisser Dias: [4] 22 July 2011 from Nisser Dias http://www.nizgoenkar.net/newsDetails.php?id=89: Politicians also play a dubious role during the recruitment process. Lakhs of rupees are collected from candidates to get them enrolled in the police force. But the height was during Manohar Parrikar’s regime as chief minister and also Home minister. It is alleged that he recruited the maximum percentage of police personnel from the majority community. Of course he had planned his escape route very well, when media questioned him, his reply was that minority community candidates did not apply. However his act was exposed when High Court observed that the selection of PSIs during his tenure as illegal and presently the case is before the Supreme court.

[Goanet] Christopher Hitchens, 62.
Roland Francis: Hitchens a contrarian, reserved his utmost loyalty to the truth. ** ** Response: Are you suggesting that whatever he wrote and spoke was only the truth? I would suggest that a more appropriate word would be ‘outspoken’, a person who spoke out his mind irrespective of treading on anyone’s toes or beliefs. Yes, he was a contrarian and that was his USP. He cut a sorry figure supporting Bush’s misadventure in Iraq and his views on Islam did him no credit. All the same he was of high intellect and brought in a lot of fresh air whether one agreed with him or not. ** ** Regards, ** ** Marshall --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---

He along with M Boyer, Remmie, Betty Naz, Betty Ferns etc went to Gulf with their tiatr in 1978 and stayed there for a month (tour). He was reading M Boyer’s hand written Konkani Letter (on two middle pages of Exercise book) sent to him back in 1978 talking about their proposed trip to gulf. Besides the letter, he also read out some notes from his dairy and this without using reading glasses which is very unusual for his age (74) as we know most will make use of glasses after 40.

[Goanet] The magic of Mario (Victor Hugo Gomes in Deccan Herald)
The magic of Mario Mario Miranda’s trademark sketches of Goan lifestyles are a reflection of reality, an expression of his love for Goa and its heritage and culture. His simplicity allowed him to see the lighter side of life, making his signature caricatures immortal, writes Victor Hugo Gomes In more than one respect, the loss of Mario Miranda is the end of an era. An era that began with huge hips and rosy lips; of suspenders and pot bellies; of romance and laughter. Mario was about the heart. His illustrations were powerful; with a few simple lines, he would capture the essence of people. He was able to see humour in just plain simple life, from the streets to the dining table to office meetings, funerals and family gatherings. I first met Mario in my teens. He came backstage at Loutolim, to congratulate us for winning a one-act play competition. He waited with us and upon seeing that we had no transport to get back home, he sent his car to drop us to Benaulim. I knew then that I had met someone special. Years later, when I was in Lucknow as a national awardee pursuing a career in fine arts and was training in restoration at INTACH Lucknow, Mario, the then convener of INTACH Goa, approached my director at Lucknow for a professional to set up the Christian Art Museum. It was then that I met Mario again and his humility and simplicity were still untainted. “Don’t call me sir, call me Mario,” he said. A connection then made thus was never broken till the end. It was only because of Mario’s constant support that we worked out a concept and methodology and were able to put together an enviable collection for the Christian Art Museum then at Rachol. During the course of those two years, while I had to document and archive Christian artefacts, I had to make some tough decisions. I was young and idealistic then and found it difficult to bend over and it was during such trying times that Mario proved to be my mentor. Leafing through the letters he had written to me, I can’t help but smile, for, in every letter of his he tried to cheer me up and kept asking me to be more realistic and less passionate. He wanted me to hang on and not cave in; he even flew from Mumbai to convince me not to resign as curator and when I finally did it, Mario resigned with me. This was the Mario I knew and grew fond of. As an older person, now I can look back and understand why he wanted me to stay on and I regret that I didn’t. Till recently, he defended my decision and stood by his principles. Such was the man. Distinct style Mario was one of the few cartoonists who published in most of the leading newspapers and magazines of India long before he retired to his sprawling mansion in Goa. His simplicity allowed him to see the lighter side of life. His signature caricatures are immortal. Even though many generously borrowed his buxom women and suspended potbellies, and some even used them as their stepping stone to fame without ethical concerns or patency rights, ironically, they are Mario’s, and shall be Mario’s, no matter what. This is what Mario has left for everyone. If you walk into cafés, sidewalk restaurants, hotel lobbies in Bombay and Goa, Mario is there. Mario had the gift of making even the most simple, drab looking scene seem pompous, and yet he was just the opposite — a very simple man. When I did the annual Great Music Revival series of concerts in Goa, Mario was always there in the audience, sketching the musicians on stage. When I visited him a couple of years ago, he was still sketching. He steadied his shaky hands and let the figures take forms. Although he said that sketching kept him young, it saddened me to see a man of such repute as Mario still negotiating for work. Somehow, we made him forget the value of his signature. The signature that gave an identity to our tinto (market place), our careira (bus), our poder (baker) and our padre (vicar). Silent efforts But Mario’s initiatives are many for Goa and Goans. He was always concerned of Goa’s heritage and monuments. When he was the convener of INTACH Goa, and even later, he would fly down from Mumbai to Goa to fight for causes of preservation of heritage monuments. I remember attending meetings on preservation with him and his friend, architect Sarto Almeida. We attended meetings and meetings — such was his silent effort that go unmentioned. He would singlehandedly persevere without any group matrix or band wagons. That, from the Christian Art Museum he initiated and worked towards procuring funds for the restoration of the Reis Magos Fort and St Anne Church needs to be applauded. His initiatives are a testimony to the simplicity of the man and his love for Goa and its heritage and culture. In the last few years, even with failing health, he did not hesitate to lend his name to any initiative or aspiring artistic endeavour. He didn’t have to, but he did. Taking the support

[Goanet] Autonomy For Goa
In 1961, India annexed Goa with a Promise that its Identity would be preserved and imposed a Constitution that never took Goan concerns into account nor did it get the approval from Goans. Now we have a pseudo democracy restricted by some perceived constitutional clauses, which has left Goa for SALE to the whole of India and doors open to uncontrolled migrant influx. Anyone who can count will imagine the disastrous consequences of the latter within a few years. The once overwhelmingly pristine, beautiful and clean Goa is being dragged by rogues ruling India into corruption, environment destruction and filth. The Central Government has deliberately kept Goa in debt/bondage via its ruling stooges in Goa who have misgoverned the state for many decades. In reality, Goa is a rich state but looted by the Centre with a percentage given to their Corrupt Goan agents in Goa. Enough is Enough, if the Central Government is playing with Goan Sentiments and fooling on Special Status to preserve Goa's Identity, then I think we should go a step further and now demand Autonomy!

[Goanet] Very Funny
This is what I received in my mail box this morning, it is funny but said to be true, how often we so easily jump to wrong conclusions, but this is a peach ! This really is funny. A true story This would have to be one of the best emails I've ever read For anyone who didn't see the episode of David Letterman's show where this story was told. Read this: (And remember it's a true story...) On a recent weekend in Atlantic City, a woman won a bucketful of Quarters at a slot machine. She took a break from the slots for dinner with her husband in the Hotel dining room. But first she wanted to stash the Quarters in her room. I'll be right back and we'll go to eat' she told her husband and carried the coin-laden bucket to the elevator. As she was about to walk into the elevator she noticed two men already aboard. Both were black. One of them was very tall and had an intimidating figure. The woman froze. Her first thought was: 'These two are going to rob me.' Her next thought was: 'Don't be a bigot, they look like perfectly nice Gentlemen.' But racial stereotypes are powerful, and fear immobilized her. Avoiding eye contact, she turned around stiffly and faced the elevator doors as they closed. A second passed, and then another second, and then another. Her fear increased! The elevator didn't move. Panic consumed her. 'My God' she thought, I'm trapped and about to be robbed! Her heart plummeted. Perspiration poured from every pore. Then one of the men said, 'Hit the floor.' Instinct told her to do what they told her The bucket of quarters flew upwards as she threw out her arms and Collapsed on the elevator floor. A shower of coins rained down on her. Take my money and spare me', she prayed. More seconds passed. She heard one of the men say politely, 'Ma'am, if you'll just tell us what floor you're going to, we'll push the button.' The one who said it had a little trouble getting the words out. He was trying mightily to hold in a belly laugh. The woman lifted her head and looked up at the two men. They reached down to help her up. Confused, she struggled to her feet. 'When I told my friend here to hit The floor,' said the average sized one, I meant that he should hit the elevator button for our floor. I didn't mean for you to hit the floor, ma'am.' He spoke genially. He bit his lip. It was obvious he was having a hard time not to laugh. The woman thought: 'My God, what a spectacle I've made of myself.' She was too humiliated to speak. The three of them gathered up the strewn quarters and refilled her bucket. When the elevator arrived at her floor they then insisted on walking her to her room. She seemed a little unsteady on her feet, and they were afraid she might not make it down the corridor. At her door they bid her a good evening. As she slipped into her room she could hear them roaring with laughter as they walked back to the elevator. The woman brushed herself off. She pulled herself together and went downstairs for dinner with her husband. The next morning flowers were delivered to her room; a dozen roses. Attached to EACH rose was a crisp one hundred-dollar bill. The card said: 'Thanks for the best laugh we've had in years.' It was signed; Eddie Murphy Michael Jordan.
