Re: [Goanet] The roots of paranoia.

[Mervyn Lobo]

Doc,It is a painful day when a person believes that s/he has been sent by god 
or believes that s/he is god or someone else.

Where I really get mystified is when an entire country is of the opinion that 
god did indeed send someone to be the leader. 

In this regard, I salute the royal family and their ability to get the poorest 
in that country to contribute to the royal opulent life style. 
This is the biggest con game ever.

[Goanet] trends and cause of divorces

[Nelson Lopes]

 Divorce bane or boon of modern society?


It is becoming too frequent..Couples are breaking lightening fast, as
divorce statistic unfold. Live in relationship whatever be the outcome, is
a dangerous fad that is in vogue for the stability of the  family. There is
no guarantee that either  LOVE OR ARRANGED MARRIAGES BREAK THE JINX OF
DIVORCE PER SE. The pressure of the society and stigma of divorce is thing
of the past. Second marriage be it with a divorcee etc needs no sociable
approval or otherwise.. Couples are willing to start a new relationship.
The concept of use and throw away seem to apply here too. Why should
incompatibility whether physical or intellectual prolong the agony of
lifelong unity, commitment whether in health or sickness, good or bad
times, until death do us apart. Nobody seem to care a damn “ what God has
united together let no men put asunder”. The ease of  mobility and
connectivity seem to aggravate tie ups and break ups too, The concept  of
 liberation, freedom of women, interaction  mingling at work places  is a
now a common phenomenon. The educated women with independent incomes are no
more dependent on domination, Hence dependency that  used to force couples
to stay together under all circumstances has evaporated. They are aware
that a second fling does not  alays guarantee any permanency, but is worth
the effort. Then there is always another chance if thigs misfire.. The acts
of infidelity and promiscuity are on the ascendancy with either sex. We are
imitating the west in changing relationships with ease of changing
apparels.. The parental control does not, anymore acts as a safety valve/
fuse, Young couples prefer to live separately right from the start,
overlooking the help in managing homes and young offspring’s  or living in
a joint family environment They brook no inteference with their wisdom and
experience. Maid services, creches are in demand to tide over infant
problems.. There is a new found freedom in decision making as husband is no
more the only bread winner, Men are losing their pivotal role as the
uncrowned king of the family, creating omplexes..  The wife`s professional
income also adds to their wealth creation. Arguments on the sharing of
income, care of aged and in laws is a ticklish problem.. Early conception
and delivery  can put a  wedge in  the close relation ship of the new
couple. or postment also has its own problems. There is legal help
available for smooth separation or coming together with new partners. The
sense of tolerance, patience, accommodation, adjustment is on the decline.
Flimsy excuses, doubts ,pressures at work place on both being employed
,drive fissures in family relationships .Divorce separations whether with
or without consent is a reality to live with irrespective of the sword of
alimony. The legal system  appears to be like  made to order arrangement to
accommodate perfectly. According to the psychological findings  managing
sex and finances are two major factors that accentuate divorces.  In the
inter caste, inter religious marriages the failure rate is  abnormally
 high .The idea of lifelong commitment appears to be an unreasonable
contract without factoring any conditions, The religious institutions to
which the couple belong are more liberal today. Different religions have
varying codes of conducts of stability of marriage partners Couples prefer
court marriages,  live in relations to circumvent/over religious
restrictions The idea of surrogacy is a relief to couples avoiding phangs
or joys of child bearing/ rearing  Adoption is to -day  a more  agreeable
option. The prevalent notions of childless marriages or zero births adds to
selfishness. The I ,Me, mine syndrome, instead of we, us, ours creates
conflicts of egos , lack of give and take principle, One of the partner
being away,or  long time absence due to exigencies like employment can
cause fissures  in relationship due to  emotional vacuum. Adjustment to new
friends ,specially the in laws, environment of each one protected
environment marriage is difficult mental  union/ adjustment which the
young, immature find difficult to cope with . The faith in old
relationships and looking with suspicion the set up. The age of marriages
is much lower than before. The highly competitive, dynamic. pressures of
modern society creates unreasonable hopes and expectations that are a
strain to achieve
The unity of family has bearing on the emotional needs and growth of
children Those deprived of love and protection become a menace to the
society and its welfare. Broken homes contribute towards social
disturbances. Abandoned , orphans  cause social earthquakes. The
 separating couples may adjust with a strain, but children are a lost
brigade The financial costs of divorces on inter personal , family,
society  cannot be accurately computed .The stability of married couples
helps the progressive society at all levels The society will collapse if
 the unit of family disintergrates. Divorces 

[Goanet] GFDO Press Statement

[Edwin/Diana Pinto]

August 17, 2017

GFDO PRESS STATEMENT

GFDO condemns the Parrikar led Government for passing the draconian “Goa 
Compensation to the Project Affected Persons & Vesting of Land in the 
Government” Bill 2017. This Bill which is now an Act, is nothing but an attempt 
to legitimize large scale ‘land grab’ by this Government for its various 
controversial projects, and more alarmingly, to indemnify it against the 
necessary future action that it will inevitably attract.


GFDO questions the need for the Government to come out with this Act when there 
already exists a Central Act called ‘Right to Fair Compensation and 
Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013’, 
which more than adequately fulfils the purpose of ensuring that all the owners 
and tenants will be compensated fairly and adequately. 


The real reason in coming out with this needless Act perhaps, lies in the two 
sinister clauses that have been craftily slipped in. Through these clauses, the 
Government abrogates to itself the right to take over tenanted and dhangar 
lands, which are in the name of a private landlord. Today, with most of the 
projects executed on the basis of the PPP model, this Bill makes it easier for 
private companies who operate industries, and other commercial enterprises 
including hospitals and schools etc. to connive with the Government through the 
invocation of this Act and grab precious and scarce Goan land for private 
interests and profits.


In fact, Goans should be made aware that the government had proposed two 
draconian Bills specifically tailored to disempower and take away the rights of 
the people leaving the road clear for the Government to corner land for its 
corporate cronies unopposed. Although it was demanded that both these Bills be 
sent to Select Committees for scrutiny, the government bulldozed this 
particular Bill through in the recent Assembly session without adequate debate 
or consultation with stakeholders and shareholders.


The implications of this draconian Bill are deep seated and menacing. Consider 
Clause 4 of this Act, which states “The Government shall be entitled to enter 
into any transaction with any person, body of person, committee etc. including 
transaction to enter into contract or obtain no objection certificate from the 
owner, where the land is needed for public purpose and all such land 
purchased/acquired by the Government shall vest in the Government free from all 
encumbrances of whatsoever nature and the Government shall use such land for 
setting up of project.”


It is revealing that in the list of definitions included in the Bill for 
“Government”, “Collector”, “public purpose”, “project”, “land”, “Court” etc. 
the definition for “owner” has been cleverly omitted. In other words, the 
government Is giving itself powers to take over tenanted land, Comunidade land 
or land having multiple owners just on the basis of a mere NOC from anyone who 
claims to be the owner.


While this Bill decrees that the land acquired for public purpose can be used 
for all public infrastructure, the hidden motives of this Government are 
revealed and become quite clear when “project for industrial corridors or 
mining activities” as well as “infrastructural project of any Statutory 
corporations, bodies, authorities or any other Government bodies and includes 
the land acquired for any project relating to Airport” are included in 
definition of “public purpose”.


With projects like the contentious Mopa Airport, river nationalization, coal 
hub, and unnecessary five star infrastructure ominously looming on the horizon 
without even an effective Regional Plan in place, this government appears to be 
determined to preside over the sell out of Goa and the complete destruction of 
the people’s democratic and constitutional rights, ironically masquerading all 
the while as ‘ Goem, Goenkar and Goenkarponn’.


GFDO pointed out that land is a community resource, held in trust for the 
people by the Government of the day. It is the people who bear the brunt and 
face the consequences of the rash, vested and unstudied decisions taken by the 
Government as Goans have seen in the past. Hence GFDO demands that the Clause 4 
be withdrawn immediately by way of ordinance so that the Act cannot be abused 
under the garb of Compensation.

[Goanet] SMILE................................ IT'S WEEKEND (17/08/2017)

[CAJETAN DE]

SMILE. IT'S WEEKEND 
(17/08/2017)
RIGHT ON.
A man (Bosteao) feared his wife (Rozalin) wasn’t hearing as well as she used to 
and he thought she might need hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, 
Bosteao goes to his family Doctor (Dr. Roldao) to discuss the problem:-
Dr. Roldao: There is a simple informal test that you could perform to give me a 
better idea about you wife’s hearing loss. Here is what you do, stand about 40 
feet away from your wife and in normal conversational speaking tone and see if 
she hears you. If not go to 30 feet, then 20 feet and so on until you get a 
response.
That evening Rozalin was in the kitchen cooking dinner and Bosteao was in the 
den:
Bosteao (says to himself) I am about 40 feet away now, let’s see what happens.
Bosteao: (in normal tone) Honey, what’s for dinner?
No response. Bosteao moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife 
and repeats:
Bosteao: Honey, what’s for dinner?
Still No response. Bosteao moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet 
from Rozalin and asks:
Bosteao: Honey, what’s for dinner?
Again he gets No response. Bosteao walks up to the kitchen, about 10 feet away 
from his wife.Bosteao: Honey, what’s for dinner?
And yet again there is no response. So Bosteao walks right behind her:
Bosteao: Honey, what’s for dinner?
Rozalin: Listen Bosteao, for the fifth time I have said PORK VINDALO. And if 
you repeat that questioned one more time, then I’ll bang this pan right on your 
head.

In the latest issue of ‘Renovacao’ which is the Pastoral bulletin of the
Archdiocese of Goa, Dr. F.E.Noronha has highlighted how crucial is the
August 23rd Panaji by-election.

Please share this very thought provoking article with your family and
friends.


On next Wednesday the very self-respecting voters of Panaji Constituency
which includes Ribandar will create history by defeating the former Defence
Minister Manohar Parrikar who illegitimately and dishonestly in March this
year usurped the Chief Minister’s chair through the backdoor by his
highhanded politricks.  With Manohar Parrikar’s departure we should start
the process of saving what remains of a badly battered Goa.
