Ex-CM Parrikar recalled that when incidents at the Socorro Masjid burning and blast in a chapel at Sanguem were reported, the Congress leaders made a big noise in the state.

Earlier Sunaparant highlighted that Rane was unaware of the Ayodhya incident.

Last year’s AGM was held in the evening session, which, some complained, caused a lot of inconvenience for far flung clubs from Salcete. GFA thus have reverted back to the morning AGM taking into account the grievances of the clubs. GFA has around 180 registered clubs from all over the state and now attempts are being made by GFA to register more clubs in unrepresentative areas of Canacona taluka and Pernem taluka. If the move is successful then it will swell the numbers at the next AGM. DIALYSIS FACILITIES IN GOA: A friend in London mentioned he needs daily dialysis. Does anyone know what is the state of such facilities available in Goa? Is it reliable, and where is it available? Share your inputs with goanet@goanet.org -------------------------------------------------------------- JOTTINGS: My (second) love affair with WorldSpace * FN in Goa -------------------------------------------------------------- Having grown up with radio as company has its own implications. In the 'seventies, we in India thought the radio to be a great tool -- one of the few options available in a largely-closed, un-globalised, non-affluent economy. Jetking had their tiny sets costing about Rs 130, which could barely struggle to get you the SLBC (Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation, who doesn't know that?) Mr Dalal in Mapusa had just put together a Tricity Chetana, three-in-one. We were thrilled that it could actually play 33-1/3 and 45 rpm records *and* also get you some faint stations after fidgeting with the built-in valves after they heated up sufficiently and glowed red. A bias against television -- the idiot box, trivial news-bytes, so superficial in its coverage, so hogging of one's attention, etc -- means that radio is still an option. I recall visiting a priest in (emigration oriented) Sirlim in Salcete as a schoolboy, and wondering how the they managed to get BBC reception almost as if it was next-door All India Radio's, the monopoly of the airwaves for long as far as most of us in South Asia go. So, the other day, I walked into an electronic shop at Mapusa, thinking that I was going in to buy a battery-eliminator. Well, I ended up buying a (actually, my second) WorldSpace receiver. What's WorldSpace? You'll find small ads talking about it, as say on today's (July 6) frontpage of the Herald. (There were times when WorldSpace advertised hugely, including on billboards along the approach to Panjim.) 38 channels for 24 hours in five models? What does that all mean? It's a satellite radio. Just as you receive TV via satellite, this same technology is now being used to broadcast (is that the right word?) radio. The story is fascinating; the son of an Ethiopian ambassador believes that the 2/3rds world is poor, in significant part, because they're information-poor. So, he goes about and starts this network, that is focussed largely on Africa, Asia, and the Middle-East. See http://www.worldspace.com What's it like? When I went into the electronics shop, the first thing that happens is that I run into this oddly-shaped, large fish-like radio set. The first thing, is that reception is crystal clear. "Near CD-quality," as they describe it. I'm already getting bowled over.... The second thing that had me fall head-over-heels over the set was the growing number of talk-channels they had -- NPR Worldwide, BBC Asia, CNN-I, even NDTV 24x7 in its audio format (minus the distracting pictures). For a news-junkie (though not necessarily a *political* news junkie) what could be more interesting? Next thing one realised was that Kenya-born Adrian (Fernandes, of course, as his tone said it) was over at home. This young instructor at the German-run tech school at Siolim was very comfortable in setting up the WorldSpace receiver. Adrian was over to set up the external antenna. (Made by Kavveri Telecom Products in the tech-confident Bangalore, it requires you to mount the Azimuth/elevation adjustment plate, with a clamp and then adjust gently with their respective plates It and clamps... don't ask what all this mumbo jumbo means.) This time round, I made it a point to go in for the extra Rs 1200 external antenna. So the signal hardly fades in-and-out, as my first time listening experience was plagued by. Adrian is from Camurlim ("a village between Mapusa and Siolim, hardly anyone knew it once", as he told me). We quickly exchanged links and drew connections. He studied in SFX Siolim and cartoonist Alexyz's wife Tecla was his teacher. He's passionate about electronics, and we spoke about radios and what not. Who says Goa lacks the talent and interest? I say, it just isn't tapped! Listening to WorldSpace has been a real pleasure. So far. Earlier, they offered a handful of channels free of cost. But there was only a limited choice. Now, they've gone ahead and made the service almost wholly 'pay'. That's not entirely a bad thing. It costs you Rs 1200 per year for the silver service (which brings all the channels, who wants an additional BBC World and Bloomberg at $9 per month?) The choice is good. On WRN, the World Radio Network, one can hear half-hour broadcasts in English from South Korea, the Vatican, China, Hungary, Romania, Canada, Sweden and elsewhere. A nice perspective to the world in our English, UK/US dominated worldviews. Asia Development network, run by the Equal Access NGO from the US with whom one had contact in another context, has a lot of regional language programmes (Nepali, Afghani or Dari, etc). One thought they spent a lot (too much) of time on music; but an early morning session today changed that impression somewhat. The Nepali broadcast was indeed nice and foot-tapping! There's a much wider scope to discuss development oriented issues in South Asia, though. WorldSpace has channels aimed at different age-groups. The Hop covers the fifties, the sixties and the early seventies. There are channels like Ritmo, Up Country, Maestro (classical), etc. Radio Amore plays some good, old-fashioned slow music; wonder why so much of musical energies have been invested in just emotion the human race knows -- love. Each of the 'stations' is treated as a 'channel' (much like TV). First, you make your set 'learn' what channels are available via both the satellites covering Goa (and also Africa, the Middle East, parts of Europe ... there was talk of WorldSpace covering Latin America too, but this doesn't seem to have happened yet). Then, on this set, you can 'feed in' ten channels into the memory. Somehow, the channel for children's stories seems to have vanished from the set; and that's a pity. What with kids around, and a desire to keep off the excessive and easy-to-lapse-into influence of TV. This channe for children's stories was around the last time one heard the set.... Which brings me to my first, futile romance with WorldSpace. It must have been 4-5 years ago. With some money to spare, and wanting to give myself a birthday present, one went in for the (then) only available Japanese model from CMM at Panjim. It cost Rs 12,000! Within a year's time, the set got ruined -- possibly a victim to Goan humidity. After all, these are sensitive electronic sets. Fortunately, the dealers replaced my set. Free. Setting up the (mobile) antenna was a hassle, and often one would not get any reception at all. Some years later, some of the glitches have been sorted out, and one has to appreciate WorldSpace's doggedness. (Of course, I was was shaken enough to hand over the friend to someone who could be more careful than me; fortunately they're still using it.) Today, the sets are made in India, by BPL. My Celeste Vibe model costs just under Rs 4000. Add to that a Rs 1200 subscription for a year's service, and almost a similar amount if you want the fixed antenna (worth it, in my view). This set has mono speakers, but a stereo output, meaning it can be piped through a stereo for better listening. Maybe the jury is still out; maybe I should be waiting a few months before giving a recommendation. But, at this point of time, I'm hugely enthusiastic and head-over-heels about WorldSpace. One issue remains pending though: can Goa convince WorldSpace to have a channel in Konkani, considering the wealth of music we have in that realm? --Frederick Noronha, Goa. July 6, 2005. -------------------------------------------------------------- TODAY'S SPECIAL: KARNATAKA SARASWAT SURNAMES -------------------------------------------------------------- What's In A Saraswat's Name? When Mr Soz excellently explained about Catholic surnames, I was tempted to try and fish out information about Saraswat last names. Here I try to present a little information about Saraswat surnames. There are two main Saraswat communities -- the Gaud Saraswats and the Chitrapur Saraswats. Except for a slight difference in our Konkani accent and a few idiocyncracies, we are more or less the same. CHITRAPUR SARASWATS: The Chitrapur Saraswats have almost universally called themselves Rao. To avoid confusion, most of them use their native place as their last name. Thus we have Rohini Hattiangdi, Prakash Padukone, Girish Karnad, Suman Mangalore, Shridhar Kokradi, Prakash Honnavar instead of Hattiangdi Rohini Rao, Padukone Prakash Rao, Karnad Girish Rao. Chitrapur Saraswats or Bhanaps therefore have unlimited number of surnames probably of every village in South Canara, North Canara and even Kasargod in Kerala. They also have a few trans-saraswat surnames such as Bhat (priest), Nadkarni (village maker), or Kulkarni (family maker). Some of their surnames are of their gotra (Clan) like Kaundinya, Gautam, Bharadhwaj of the eighteen or so Original Gotras (clans) of Aryas. GAUD SARASWATS: Gaud Saraswats on the other hand have a very limited list of surnames. These are: Bhat (priest, with Bhatini as Mrs Priest), Shenoi or Shenai or Shenoi or Shanbhag (clerk or accountant; the term 'tau shenaipaNN karta' means he works mainly as a clerk), Gadiyar (time-keeper), Padiyar (derived from Pratihara, or the sentinel, one who regulates entry). Kamat/Kamath (one who does agricultural work, with Kamathi as Mrs Kamath), Prabhu (lord of the village, a kind of Patil in Marathi), Nayak (leader), Kini/Keni (apparently from Kannada 'holder of keys'), Bhandari/Bhandarkar (chief of stores), Kudav or Kudva (grain collector), Mallya or Mahale (officer in charge of a palace or mahal), Baliga (well-built person, or soldier), Pai (prakrit of Pati e.g. Kul'pati'. Famous Pais include Ammembal Subba Rao Pai, the founder of the Canara Bank). Saraswats in Karnataka usually use the formula of Native Place-Name-Surname (for example, Kundapur Govindaraya Shenoy) whereas in Mumbai most Saraswats use the formula of Name-Father's Name-Surname. Thus I sign as Hrishikesh Govindaraya Shenoy. Finally, though Shenai, and its Kannada form Shanbhag, are surnames in Kanara and Kerala, all Saraswats call themselves Shenais (Shenvis) in Goa. In Goa, they add their native place after their 'office' e.g. Pai-Dungat, Kamat–Priolkar. Most of this data I have taken from common knowledge, online resources and Mr Kudvas' book on Saraswats. This is obviously not everything and there are other communities such as the Daivadnyas, the Kunbis, the Rajapur Saraswats etc who make up the full jigsaw of the Konkani Hindu community. I hope the next time you meet a Shenoy or a Kamath, you will probably have a line to break the ice.
