Re: [Goanet] Radio Mango Toronto. Gone!
Ajeeb is an Arabic word come to Hindi probably through the Persian language which was the ‘via media’ language used in the court’s of India’s Afghan marauders and later rulers in the North. It has several meanings; amazing, wondrous, but also weird, strange and peculiar. Nehru is known to have called Goans “strange” in the context of the organized groups of Goan freedom fighters based in Bombay and communist leaning, trying to pressure him to use force to march into Goa while he was trying his best to negotiate freedom through diplomatic means. He was at odds to understand why those Goans would like India to use force knowing that their own people may have to bear the fallout of a battle. They are said to have gone in a delegation to meet him even at the last moment in Delhi to press their point. Knowing this he avoided them and was frustrated enough to make the remark attributed to him. It may well be that on an occasion after overrunning Goa and wanting to make Goans comfortable with Indian rule, he might have said to politically placate them that theirs was a unique culture that should be protected. There is no certitude about either of these two possibilities being true or whether there is some other explanation for his calling Goans ‘ajeeb’. You cannot claim your version to be true based on an article you wrote in the Navhind Times. Articles in that rag are only as good as those who write them. There is no verification or vetting done there to ferret out the facts, I am sure. Roland.

Re: [Goanet] Radio Mango Toronto. Gone!
At least some Goans got the Radio Mango award, which the some winners proclaimed loudly for the world to hear. Some got glowing write-ups from friends/admirers on Goan forums, and some went to get bug media soace in Goan newspapers. One triatrist is flogging "legend" as said by Radio Mango. A legend doesn't steal someone else's tiartrs. Roland used the same "Goans are strange", a quote attrubuted to Nehru. It's become a cliche that needs to be debunked once and for all. I had written a short piece in OHerald a couple of years ago on the wrong contect the word "ajeeb" is interpreted. Nehru had said Goa has a "unique" culture.

Re: [Goanet] [Photo Blog by Rajan Parrikar] The Farmers
It’s funny you say that Rajan-bab (Goans owe their nourishment to the labours of this hardy stock), because I do not recall the landowners in my village or elsewhere ever giving even an iota of respect to these farmers. Not to say they insulted them or ill treated them but there was this condescending attitude that I see the white settlers in western countries accord to their indigenous people. Goan people of the higher classes known for their warmth and hospitality were never seen to invite these Gaudas over for a religious feast in the house or to a family wedding. On the other hand I remember the gaudas warmly inviting us for their weddings with genuine and sincere caring. The invitations were always hypocritically accepted but the weddings never attended until I as a 20 year old in the Bombay Welcome-All spirit decided to break with the family tradition and attend the wedding by myself not only out of a desire to see what such an event would look like but also out a a sense of fairness. It was an evening that I remember to this day. They welcomed my presence to the extent that I was embarrassed with their kind concerns, they expecting surely that no one from “the House” true to tradition, would attend. The music was earthy, the decorations rustic and the venue al fresco on a flattened field. The food and country liquor as aromatic and kick-in-the-butt as it could get. I was quite tickled at the way the young men picked up their ladies for a dance. No polite asking and receiving; just a pull of the arm and yank to the floor with the words “Ye Gho” (come on girl). The lasses expected nothing better. In the spirit of the Brotherhood of Man, our people should have treated their people much, much better than they did. Given a reversal of circumstances as one sees in Goa today, most of them harbour no grievance. Roland.

Re: [Goanet] Radio Mango Toronto. Gone!
No point in crying over Radio Mango (or any other media product) after its demise. If we really care, we must offer our support when things are alive. * Goans could do more, whether we understand the importance of some degree of language fluency or not. * We are great at pulling down others, not supporting, not institution building. * Strangely, despite Goans role in the media, we have yet to appreciate the role of the media in building community. * Radio is not out-fashioned! It is still alive and kicking in Europe. * We need to learn to network... * Goanet was always (and is) open to community ventures relating to Goa and the diaspora. * Content sharing is a must! * Non-profit initiatives can perhaps take things forwards. * Share, share and build. Nobody is going to make their millions over this! * It's never too late, despite the Goan community facing issues of language-loss ... * Better to light a single candle rather than keep cursing the darkness.

Re: [Goanet] Radio Mango Toronto. Gone!
I really appreciate the time and effort put in by Milena Marques and Alan Sequeira into the now-defunct Radio Mango. Keeping it going for 6 years continuously was no mean feat, given it was done at the expense of their full-time livelihoods. The content was listener friendly, the music they showcased was upbeat and the guests on their programmes had interesting narratives. They even ensured that prominent and popular Konkan (read Goan and Manglorean) visitors to Toronto were roped into their shows. Yet the radio never had an influence in the community. One big reason was that the G.O.A. sidelined them. Instead of seeing an opportunity to use both to unitedly increase influence in the city, G.O.A. missed a chance to grow and Radio Mango fell by the wayside. So why did they have to fold? The creators relied on generous individuals (mostly non-Goans) to finance deficits with a decision not to use commercial funding. Not their fault. Seeking advertising revenue requires paid personnel and would depend on the number of listeners of which there was probably no count. Support for the weekly broadcast came mainly from the Manglorean community. They are the ones who speak Konkani in their private settings and they have a certain Mai-Bhas and ‘back home’ pride which the Goans sorely lack. Goans are a strange lot (remember Nehru’s remark ‘Goa ke aadmion ajeeb hai’). They don’t use their Konkani language except in occasional phrases and short bursts of camaraderie. Their ability to easily integrate into foreign countries and cultures is the reason they are successful as immigrants, not to mention their affinity for English. However that very ability automatically deprives them of being a distinct political force in their adopted countries and as events have recently shown, within it. The Punjabis on the opposite spectrum are a stark study in contrast. They have made their language, music and community cohesion a force recognized in Canada to the extent that most Canadians wrongly recognize being Indian as being Punjabi. Could Milena and Alan have succeeded if their one hour show was in the same format but in English which the whole community speaks? Would it helped if they gradually passed on the baton to the cleverer younger generation for whom course credits and an item on the resume are significant, would capable seniors have a part to play with time and sometimes money in their hands. It’s easy to speculate and theorize but Milena and Alan ran the whole course with the ball even if it eventually dropped. Viva to their enterprise and with momentum, another good one soon.

Re: [Goanet] Radio Mango Toronto. Gone!
With all due respect to the efforts behind the show, there seemed no tangible support to it from the vast Goa-Mangalorean diaspora. Punjabi-language rafio shiws are making waves in Toronto because the tide of immigrant Punjabis help to sustain it. Fact is, Konkani isn't the language even elders speak at homes in Toronto. This must be acknowledge as a great drawback. Milena and her close associates tried. and failed.

[Goanet] Sad news: Dr Teotonio R de Souza is no more..
TR Souza was anti Portuguese but lived a happy life in Lisboa. Some of his writings were used by the fascists to attack Goans. He used to vist Macau to lecture at the Institute of European Studies. I met him once! BC
[Goanet] Radio Mango Toronto. Gone!
After a brilliant run of 325 show over 6 years, it looks like Toronto's Radio Mango is gone. Here is a Message posted on their website: ANI DEV BOREM KORUM. Saying goodbye is never easy. That’s why, we have memories to sustain us. Tuning into our beloved Konkani program every Saturday, brought us closer to our language, our culture and our people. Listening to Konkani songs stirred something deep inside all of us. And when one has moved away from the familiar to a new country, imagination alone is never enough. It’s language that takes to where we truly belong. There is another amazing force outside of language to take us back to where we came from. Nostalgia. Flying to the familiar on the swift wings of nostalgia takes us to places and people, tucked away in small memory pockets. For 6 glorious years Radio Mango transported you to the golden shores of the Konkan. To what we lost, and what we gained by immigrating to our new home, Canada. Radio Mango kept you in touch with the timeless beauty of back home through songs, news, debates, interviews, conversations and segments devoted to our classic cuisine, performers, grandma’s remedies and more. Moreover, we kept it trendy and relevant through segments which brought you the latest on topics like real estate and kids adapting to the new Canadian culture, while retaining the values of home. Yes, it’s been a long and fruitful journey. What’s most important, Radio Mango hit all the marks: the first radio program of its kind in North America, the first organisation to bring the people of Mangalore and Goa together on one stage, a vibrant broadcast without a single break over 6 years, a platform for our people from every walk of life: musicians, authors, community leaders, businessmen, singers, performers…even everyday folks who strive to make a difference in the community. We are leaving on a high note. And we thank each and every one of our loyal listeners who took time out to listen in, check us out, and let us know how we did. We are deeply grateful to our volunteers who have been with us on this beautiful journey. Our last broadcast will be on December 15th, 2018. We take this opportunity to wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. --- Their last show is archived here: https://soundcloud.com/user-828397195 --- I had a chance to interview co-founder, producer and host Milena Marques-Zachariah during the show's 6th Anniversary Fundraiser on September 22nd 2018. The organization had just transitioned from community radio to web broadcast: https://www.goaculturelist.ca/2018/09/24/fashion-blog-looking-good-with-radio-mango/ I believe the creative team of Milena and Alan Sequeira remains together and still work on other projects. They both are seasoned professional in the tumultuous field of advertising. As noted in my article: '...they have accomplished many, many, things that no other Canadian venture has; they have bridged a gap between Goan and Mangalorean Communities and brought them together, from across Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe, to have fun, share, and celebrate a common heritage; they have helped us reminisce and as well have broadcast the voices of a new generation; they have developed a communication channel, a stepping stone, for businesses and professionals to reach their market; and they have proven that the Konkani language can be a source of pride, for growth, and a fountain for creativity.' Sad to see the project go. -- Albert Peres afpe...@3129.ca 416.660.0847 cell
