<br />
<br />
It is a pleasure to learn that some of our internationally famous fellow Goans’ progeny measure to their parents’ high intellectual and professional standards, and have to their credit achievements that give the land of their birth enormous pride.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But for Mr António Manoel Pereira, retired mechanical engineer who worked for many years in São Paulo, Brazil and was introduced to me by connoisseur of all things Goa, Percival Noronha, I would have known nothing about Dr Victor de Mello. Pereira who hails from Benaulim has a passion for his village that produced many eminent persons, from the internationally famous microbiologist Dr Idalêncio Froilano de Mello, to the Venerable Pe José Vaz and the brilliant writer and physician, Dr Bettencourt Rodrigues. According to Mr Pereira’s research, de Mellos were in their Hindu past, Sinais.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
One thing leading to another, I spoke to Prof C S Gokhale who heads the Department of Geotechnology of the Goa Engineering College and he confirmed to me that Victor de Mello was till his death (one or two years back) one of the world’s leading lights of geotechnology. If alive, De Mello would have been 85-year-old yesterday.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I was told by another source, but I could not obtain confirmation of this input, that Victor de Mello was one of the consultants for the government of Italy in the mission, so far unsuccessful, of stabilising the inclination of about 16 feet from the perpendicular of the 180 ft high Tower of Pisa. It is in Tuscany and is one of Seven Wonders of the World. It took over centuries to build it; 1174-1350. Galileu was born in this Tuscanian town, which is one of the most beautiful of Italy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Prof John B Burland who was a friend of professor de Mello, delivered the first Victor de Mello lecture which was established in 2008 by the Brazilian Association for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ABMS), the Brazilian Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (ABGE) and the Portuguese Geotechnical Society (SPG) to celebrate the life and professional contributions of Prof Victor de Mello, Prof de Mello had been a consultant and academician for over 5 decades and had important contributions to the advance of geotechnical engineering. Each year a worldwide acknowledged geotechnical expert is invited to deliver this special lecture.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Prof John B Burland, CBE, DSc(Eng), Freng, FRS is Professor of Civil Engineering at the Imperial College London, UK. After having worked for 13 years at the Building Research Station, in 1980 Prof Burland was appointed to the Chair of Soil Mechanics at Imperial College London. He was Emeritus Professor and Senior Research Investigator at the Imperial College. He has been responsible for the design of many large ground engineering projects such as the underground car park at the Palace of Westminster, the foundations of the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, the stabilisation of the Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico City and was a member of the Italian Prime Minister’s Commission for stabilising the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He received many awards and medals including the Kelvin Gold Medal, the Harry Seed Memorial Medal of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Gold Medals of the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Institution of Civil Engineers and the World Federation of Engineering Organisations.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Professor Burland said on the occasion, "Words cannot adequately express how privileged I feel to have been invited to deliver this first lecture in honour of Victor de Mello. But a huge responsibility rests on my shoulders for I have no doubt at all that the Victor de Mello Lecture will become one of the major events of the geotechnical calendar."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"The more I thought about possible topics the more strongly I felt that this first lecture should attempt to capture something of Victor the person and Victor the engineer. The responsibility suddenly becomes even greater, for how can one adequately portray someone with the vitality, the breadth of interests, the culture, the creativity, the intellect and, yes, the sheer genius of Victor de Mello? My aim is to reflect on my friendship with Victor and share something of that. This is not the time or the occasion for a scholarly treatise on Victor’s engineering contributions. The word reflection means the throwing back of images and that is what I hope to do, to share some images of this remarkable man."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"During one conversation Victor expressed concern about the dangers of developing countries relying on the advice of experts imported from developed countries – a theme he returned to frequently in his lectures and writings. Referring to the classical story of the siege of Troy by the Greeks he would use the phrase ‘Beware the Greeks’, bearing gifts. A modern adaptation of the phrase, when you are being offered computer soft-ware is Beware of these gifts. Learning from these conversations with Victor, I tell my students from developing countries not to believe that the sophisticated developed countries have all the answers: Remember that your own special challenges are just as intellectually demanding as ours."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Victor de Mello himself said it in one of his many communications University students face inexorably biased messages in their search for their professional calling. The truth is that one must choose one’s love and love one’s choice, one cannot love a misrepresented life partner. The biases are inescapable: increased recourse to expensive construction equipment and to sophisticated calculations on idealised theories, and publication only of special successes or failures.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Yet civil engineering is mostly concerned with jobs that have no thesis to propound and no advancements to document: just the art of diagnosing, deciding despite doubts and determining a course of action on the basis of valid principles digested and gut instinct. And it is the rewarding feeling of an aim fulfilled."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Today’s overriding priority of pecuniary benefit/cost ratios has lessened the profession’s sense of purpose, and macro production has lessened its sense of identity. In the brave new world immediately after the Second World War, there was an emphatic distinction between the exponentially successful, military engineering, aimed at destruction, and its civil counterpart, dedicated to construction. Their similarity lay in the urgency of the need for decisions and action. Brazil, for instance, was forced to grow from 42M to 160M inhabitants."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Writing about it now reminds me of the challenging pace I face there as an immigrant from Goa in 1949. The rate of changes imposed by modernity means the brave new world imprint never ceases, for dedicated professionals."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I confess it is not easy to write a biographical note on the past. One has to glean excerpts from conversations, with due care, partly because he himself says he does not like to look back on the past, and also because he comments that man’s brain has developed an amazing self-protective capacity to transform past experiences so that only the good, or the joke of the misfortune, resists the dimming of time. So what are really the facts worth noting? Moreover, as he always emphasises of others, his own life grew out of a sequence of chance events. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Who was Victor de Mello? His full name is Victor Froilano Bachmann de Mello. He was born in Panaji, Goa. On May 14, 1926, the third (second boy) in a series of six children. He owes his name Victor to the fact that his father, Professor, Medical Colonel, MP Idalêncio Froilano de Mello had just won the election to the Portuguese National Assembly; but owes the privilege of having had an exclusively home education by his German Swiss mother.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
These six Bachmann de Mello children were entirely educated at home by their encyclopaedic cosmopolitan parents, the ambience ranging from the wildest bucolic tropical childhood liberty to the most meticulous European education, their home hosting regularly every international authority of sciences and arts that happened to travel through the East. So, while on the one hand, the children had lessons in swimming, roller-staking, tennis, horse-rising, etc, introducing these sports into the local society, and even earned prize pocket-money from the Municipality per cobra killed, on the other hand, they were all trained at the piano, besides different instruments constituting a home orchestra (Victor played the Spanish guitar), were all taught artistic drawing, water-colouring, prose and poetry writing, languages (French and German, some Italian in tales and songs, etc. They produced a by-yearly illustrated home journal, and so on.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
International events of 1935 forced an about-turn in the family’s plans: foreseeing the world war and its outcome, the parents set aside the planned European professional educations, and progressively sent the children to study in British boarding schools in India. At the age of eleven Victor, armed with a few words of English, took the 24-hour train ride to Bangalore, and joined the 5th standard, second term, at Bishop Cotton Boys’ School, subordinated to Cambridge University. During the period from June 1937 to December 41, interrupted by an absence from April through Dec 39 because of a near-deadly undiagnosed appendicitis and home convalescence, he participated in most extra-curricular activities, including piano and organ playing of the school chapel because World War II had broken already. Unable to travel to ingress into the Zurich Polytechnicum to which he was admitted, he sought admission into famous Indian engineering schools (Roorkee, Poona, etc,) but, despite the completion of secondary schooling with the highest honours, he was dismayed to find himself denied it, in the face of a preferential system that did not countenance Portuguese nationality Goans. But the family’s recent close associations with the outstanding American Missionary surgeon Dr Goheen led him to embark on the 36-hour train ride to distant and legendarily feared Allahabad, to join the Ewing Christian College. Once again he was awarded most school prizes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For the 3rd year of University Sciences he had to move once again, 1943, to Forman Christian College, Lahore, Punjab. At Forman Christian College his life changed completely, once again by an incredible coincidence. He was practicing the piano at the Principal’s home (practicing for the chapel organ, and nostalgia), when the Principal, having seen his first term’s grades, stopped him to ask what profession he intended to follow. Victor explained that he was merely gaining time, because he wanted to study civil engineering, hadn’t been admitted in India and couldn’t enter the Zurich Polytechnicum because Switzerland was surrounded by Nazi Germany. The Principal, Dr C H Rice, retorted, "Why don’t you go to MIT? It is an engineering school of the highest standard. Dr Rice was brother-in-law of President Karl T Compton of MIT, and wrote him a letter. Some weeks later a telegram arrived, simply stating "Victor de Mello admitted July 1, 1944. Karl T Compton."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But scholarship did not sever their broader interests. Victor led the founding of the MIT students International Association, coordinated lectures and debates on colonial policies of defunct countries, himself lecturing (in exchange for Rotary Club dinners) on the Portuguese, British cultures and organised authentic folk festivals of different countries based on the many foreign friends among the classmates. He even helped a Portuguese colleague (Conductor António de Almeida) organise the MIT Symphonic Orchestra, and so on.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He received from President Compton his diploma in June (exactly on the same date, hour, day-of-the-week in which 35 years later he was elected President of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, in Stockholm 1981), and completed the remaining MSc units and thesis, under Professor D W Taylor, in September 1946. About to leave for Brazil under contract, he was convinced to change and stay on as Research Associate, to conduct the new Soil Solidification Research Contract the US Corps of Engineers had just given to MIT.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He had immigrated into Brazil to be a Brazilian, both because of deep-rooted cultural affinities, because of the intensely adolescent cosmopolitan atmosphere, and because of the nostalgic challenges of unopened frontiers of tropical civil engineering. His professional CV shows that he has been all over the world many times and, above all felt entirely at home with all peoples and cultures. But it is in Brazil and from Brazil that he has grown from his roots into a big tree.<br />

By Vinayak Khedekar<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Salt is a prominent part of our diet. The Gawda community is mainly engaged in producing salt through traditional means. The place where salt is produced is known as Mithagar.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The historical document illustrates that during earlier times, salt from Goa was exported to Thailand, Burma and even African countries, while in 1855 Goa dominated the Asian market with regard to salt export. In 1964-65, there were 200 salt pans operational in Goa, in 13 villages of four talukas of Pernem, Bardez, Tiswadi and Salcete, which produces around 25,000 metric tones of salt annually and by 2002, the number came down to around 16. Further, salt pans located at a stretch, from Agorwaddo in Morjim to Cavelossim in Salcete, are either non-functional or used for pisciculture related activities.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The production of salt was sufficient for the entire Goan population besides its export. In Goa, salt was transported to the villages near the river and then carried in big bamboo baskets called Vajem which were mounted on the head. The news regarding the arrival of the Vhadem spread and the locals collected it hurriedly before it was sold out, simply because one had to store enough to last the entire year as the next batch of salt would only arrive the following year. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The annual storage of salt without it melting was a major worry. After bringing it home, the salt was dried in the sun’s heat by spreading it on a bamboo mat in the courtyard. Different methods and means where adopted for its storage. A big size vertical pot known as doan was generally used by most families; these were maintained by generations together. A tree trunk having a sufficient diameter, normally of a jackfruit tree, which was hollow inside was called doan. Every traditional house, from the Kulwadi to the Gawda community possessed two doans. After filling the doan with salt it was covered by a piece of wood and was positioned near the kitchen. It was placed not on the mud floor but on a wooden plank or on pieces of fully dried coconut tree trunk to avoid dampness. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Before the plastic container entered Goan life, people practiced an unusual mode for preserving salt. A big bamboo basket with a lid is procured from the traditional occupants, which made use of fully seasoned materials. This basket known as patem was then plastered with fresh cow dung both inside and out. Once the dung dried, salt was put into it and this basket was placed at a place safe from moisture. The salt remained fresh for at least a year and the Patem lasted for a minimum of five years. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Preservation of salt among the Kulmi community in Ganvdongrem is as follows - people bought salt in large quantities and before preserving it, it was dried in the sun. After that Gadeli leaves were placed in and beneath by vlache vaye in a betachem paate - cane basket or goti. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After putting Gadeli leaves, then the salt was placed and at last it was tied with a vaye. The second method is called hudo. Here, muruli hudo was bought, out of this kondul – a sort of a basket was prepared, the salt was filled into it and it covered with a tight fitting cover- zakan.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Several beliefs and superstitions are associated with salt and are still adhered to by the country folk. If the stock of salt was ruined or was exhausted, people borrowed some from their neighbours. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This system was acceptable for all other items but certain norms were observed in the case of salt. In the Bhat Brahman community if salt had been borrowed it had to be returned, whereas in the Gawda community, salt that was lent was not taken back. Borrowing salt was unacceptable in the Bhavin community and if it was needed it was taken on the sly and was overlooked by the members of the family. Salt is indeed carried by the housewife during the ceremonial entry into a newly constructed house.<br />

Explaining his confidence in the Indian realty sector, Mr. Sreekar added, “Within the last decade the India Property scenario has gone through rapid changes, triggered by several factors including the IT / ITES boom years, government policy changes and changes to the global economy.” <br /><br />“There were at least two peak periods during the last two decades in real-estate development, the first was witnessed in the 90s, during IT and Outsourcing boom years. When this phenomenal growth period began to slow down, the Government’s decision in 2005, allowing 100 percent foreign direct investment in the real-estate sector, once again helped fuel rapid development. Then, for a while, during the global economic crises of 2008-2009, enthusiasm for real-estate investment dampened. But of late, with the economy recovering and India on an economic roll, real-estate is once again on an upward trajectory.” <br /><br />Short-term boom and bust periods notwithstanding, overall real-estate investment in India is expected to rise on account of the huge pent-up demand for quality residential requirements in the country. On last count, there is a pending demand for 25 million housing units in urban India alone. While funds coming in from foreign investors helped fuel the initial real-estate boom, it is now being sustained more and more by domestic funds. With the arrival of domestic Real Estate Mutual Funds and Real Estate Investment Trusts into the fray, the real estate sector is replete with funds. <br /><br />According to Venture Intelligence, which tracks private equity and mergers and acquisitions in India, since January 2010, domestic funds have put in $864 million (Rs3,950 crore) in 22 realty deals. During the same period, the contribution from foreign funds was a mere $126 million (Rs 575 crore) and in only three deals. Latent local demand, domestic funding and a booming economy are together expected to ensure the stability and steady growth of the Indian real-estate sector into the future. Moreover, the economic slowdown affecting the western industrialized world has not dented India’s appeal as one of the most lucrative real-estate investment areas in the world.<br /><br />Visitors to Property India 2010 will be able to get first-hand information on the current Indian real-estate scenario from the people directly involved in the industry on a day to day basis. They will get to sit down and discuss with the builders about their latest projects, facilities and amenities offered, and the pricing plans. Property India 2010 will be an opportunity for Indians in Kuwait to meet under one-roof, builders, real-estate developers and property promoters from all over India, to deliberate in-depth on all issues related to real-estate in India.<br /><br />With the participation of well-known and reputable developers from across India, and properties on display specifically selected to be of potential interest to NRI clients, the Property India 2010 show is geared to be a not-to-be-missed event. For people looking to buy a home or invest in the lucrative Indian real-estate sector, the Property India 2010 exhibition could prove a golden opportunity, with choice of properties on offer at the exhibition ranging from high-end luxury villas to best value properties.<br /><br /><br />Response Media | Response Events & Exhibitions | Tel: 00965 - 24810109/24814404 | Fax: 24834815 | www.responsekuwait.comGoa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426802627759448354.post-18776378314138185952010-07-05T23:06:00.000-07:002010-07-05T23:33:47.768-07:00Into the Diaspora WildernessINTO THE DIASPORA WIDERNESS<br /><br />Author: Selma Carvalho <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1aklVDdE-MPZi5nL8K_evS-Bgp9dbhPuSjBEveD6OCeVTOYYTF0fkUF9OyjFQcFH2mmIXZjOg_tFCJWz-kgVOWwZbVYYxlkYwTTjGKVF1BzvzTko7r4TRs_Ll1iejXTKDtheHrf9ayG8/s1600/Book.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 291px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1aklVDdE-MPZi5nL8K_evS-Bgp9dbhPuSjBEveD6OCeVTOYYTF0fkUF9OyjFQcFH2mmIXZjOg_tFCJWz-kgVOWwZbVYYxlkYwTTjGKVF1BzvzTko7r4TRs_Ll1iejXTKDtheHrf9ayG8/s400/Book.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490670753896944370" /></a><br /><br /> <br />The book, published by Goa 1556, is set for release at the UK Goan Festival, <br />July 25, 2010. <br /><br />Author Cliff Pereira, describes the books as an "absolutely fascinating <br />piece of work".

Travasso<br /><br /><br /><br />Domnic Fernandes, a dusky-complexioned Goan in his early forties, maneuvered the tray past the curtain of shells and entered his living room. His guest, Mr. Rao, looked up with a smile from the couch he was stationed on. "Horribly warm, isn't it?" he ventured. "Goa usually is, this time of the year." remarked Domnic, setting the two Cokes on the table.<br /><br />"Even though I've been working in the Gulf for almost 16 years, I sometimes get taken aback at how hot this place can get." "So," Rao took his glass. "your family is in Dubai currently?" Domnic sat with his Coke. "They've more or less settled down there. My missus is a nurse, so getting leave is a bit of a hassle for her, and the kids are both in school, so this year I decided to make the trip to Goa alone. Besides this old house, we have a large property out in Betul; lots of coconuts and cashews. And since I'm the only one left since my mother passed away last year, it's all in my hands now." He took a sip, and picked up Rao's business card from the table top. "So you're into real estate?"<br /><br />Rao put down his glass, nodding. Time to get down to business. "I'm a director for KLM Constructions. Since you haven't been around, you might not have heard about us. But you can make enquiries; you'll hear that we're a medium-sized firm who deals with community projects mainly in and around Aquem and Davorlim. My job is basically that of a scout, you could say. Judging from the recent news of an upswing in Mumbai real estate, we're anticipating a corresponding rise in prices this side too, and planning accordingly, our intentions are to have as many completed projects available to put on the market as possible within the next twelve months. So, I've been going around this area, looking for properties which fit our criteria. Yours is one such, which is why I've dropped in on you today." He took out a file from his briefcase. "In your case, taking into the account the area of your plot... here, this is the house we're in: a single floor edifice of old Portuguese-era construction. As per regulations, we could knock this house down and in its place put up a three-storey building, containing 6 double-bedroom flats and 6 shops. You stand to get a flat and 2 shops, each 14m2 in area, not facing the road. The project would be ready within a year. You needn't even be here; everything would be handled by us." He closed the file and slipped it back into his case. "There is, however, one small problem, something that we cannot help. Bank lending rates are expected to go up shortly, and in the sums that we borrow, that means a lot more interest that we have to end up paying them; so, our policy is to take out a loan before this happens, maybe even within a few days from now. Having taken the money, we can't sit around with it, we have to put it to use. So, time being of the essense, I cannot afford to give potential clients the luxury of unlimited time to think this over. You'll notice that I haven't asked your opinion, not even whether you're interested; we believe it's not right to apply pressure. The decision has to be yours. So I'll simply leave it at this: if I don't hear from you within 10 days, I'll assume that you won't or can't do business with me; needless to say, you will never see me again." He clipped his mobile phone to his belt and got up.<br /><br />Domnic looked thoughtful. "I am interested. It would be nice to have a flat to stay when ever we come down on vacation, something that's easy to maintain, and a shop would be good too in the long run. But, I have a problem." He got up. "Come, I'll show you." He led the way through the kitchen and stopped at the exterior doorway. He pointed. Rao looked, and his shoulders slumped in dismay. "Tenants."<br /><br />Domnic nodded gravely. "The chawl has four sections, each with a family. My grandfather built it, for some extra income I suppose, and they've been here ever since." Rao sighed. "This is a matter you'll have to deal with on your own, I'm afraid. Our proposed building on this site is a small one; we can't afford to hand each family one flat or shop. And that chawl will have to go, if we are to observe the 3-meter gap between building and compound wall."<br /><br />Domnic nodded again. "No damn way I'm going to be able to evict them; these people know their rights." Rao looked sympathetic. "I understand. There's no harm trying though; but I'd advise you to make no mention that a builder is interested in the plot. Tenants can be parasites." He stepped out into the open and held out his hand. "Nice talking to you, Mr. Fernandes. And good luck." Domnic shook his hand. "How do I get in touch with you?" Rao snapped his fingers. "Of course!" He pulled out another card, and scribbled a number on the back. "This is my mobile number. I really hope we can do business together." He smiled. "It's been a pleasure..."<br /><br />"Rao? Yeah, I've met him. KLM Constructions, right?"<br /><br />Domnic was at his cousin's place, and an after-dinner smoking session in progress. "He's made me a decent offer. Came home this morning, around ten, made his proposal; I'll receive a flat and 2 off-the-road shops."<br /><br />"Push for a shop on the road. KLM's got a good rep; they mainly take up projects in Aquem."<br /><br />Domnic sighed. "Road-side or off-road, it won't make a bloody difference, thanks to my grandfather's tenants. I spoke to them this afternoon. They all say the same thing: they don't mind pushing off - none of them are from Goa anyway - but they want money to vacate. I don't have any proper leave-and-license papers, bless you grandpa, and I can't afford to drag this matter into court. This offer is time-bound."<br /><br />"How much are they asking?"<br /><br />"The price of the flat that they will obviously be giving up." said Domnic flatly. "For one tenant, that might be reasonable, but for four of them..." His cousin winced. He lit another cigarette and stared out into the night. "I have a friend. He once got rid of a tenant of mine through pure trickery. No one got hurt or offended, and it didn't cost me more than a couple of thousand, and that was to cover his expenses. His name's Daniel; I wonder if he might be able to help you..."<br /><br />Daniel struck at exactly 1 in the morning. The advantage, he later told Domnic, was not just psychological, but also because there was less chance of interference from external elements at such an hour.<br /><br />He came, with four friends, in uniforms that looked stunningly similar to the ones Goan policemen wear, and in a jeep marked POLICE on both flanks.<br /><br />He stopped outside the chawl and honked once. His 'officers' got out. From the back, two labourers emerged, bringing some tools.<br /><br />The doors of the chawl began opening, one by one, and frightened faces were peering out as lights came on inside. Daniel strode to the first door. "I'm Inspector D'Souza. We are here on a criminal investigation and have reason to suspect that a body may lie buried beneath the floors of one of these tenements. Step aside." His men crowded in with him, and he issued instructions to them: "Start taking name of all the tenants. Photograph the floors of all rooms before we dig it up." By this time, all 12 tenants had been roused and were listening, mouths agape and aghast, to Daniel. His men began complying, pulling out notepads, pens and a camera. Daniel indicated the main room of the first tenement to the labourers. "Start digging here. If we find nothing, move to the next room, and so on, till we find the skeleton." So complete was their subjugation that no one even thought of objecting. The duo attacked the clay floor with pick-axes.<br /><br />By 1.50 am, the labourers had reached the bedroom of the last tenement. The tenants themselves were huddled together in one of the other rooms. Even the children were silent, as if aware of the precariousness of their situation.<br /><br /> The labourers 'found' the bones almost at the stroke of 2, and alerted the 'cops' with a shout. Daniel, impatiently awaiting the signal, rushed into the room, and in his haste, roughly brushed aside one of the male tenants who hit a bench and toppled backward with a cry. Daniel did not look back.<br /><br />His men began photographing the bones which one of the labourers had planted in the pit only moments ago. Aware that the tenants had followed him, Daniel climbed down inside and with latex gloves, picked up a skull.<br /><br />He examined it closely. "This man was murdered." He declared, and looked at the tenants. "This has now officially become a murder case, and all of you are suspects. We will return here at 10 am to interrogate you. Keep all your documents ready for inspection and verification. Needless to say, none of you are permitted to report for work or to leave the premises tomorrow till we arrive."<br /><br />Ten minutes later, the 'cops' were gone.<br /><br />Daniel phoned Domnic before 10 next morning. "What's the situation like?"<br /><br />"The good news is that 3 families have given notice and vacated the premises; you really put the fear of God into them with that murder-story. The bad news is that one of the tenants, Mr. Shah had broken a leg after you pushed him last night." He heard Daniel swear. "He stays with his wife, and after you left, she came here, begging me to find a rickshaw to take them to the hospital, which I did.<br /><br />"They got back around 8. The x-rays show a fracture, and they've applied a plaster cast around his left leg. He looks like hell. She says the doctor wanted him to get admitted, but they don't have enough money for the bills."<br /><br />Daniel sounded worried. "I remember pushing him aside. Damn, why was I so rough? He's an old man; I should have realized his reflexes would be slow.<br /><br />Did I really push him that hard?"<br /><br />"Like you said, he's an old man, and old men have brittle bones. It doesn't take much to cause a crack. Anyway, the doctor says he has to take bed-rest for the next couple of weeks. Shah has no choice but to stay now, and I need to close this deal in 10 days. I don't have weeks."<br /><br />"Doesn't he have any family? Sons or daughters?"<br /><br />"His whole family is up North, Orissa or someplace. Mrs. Shah looks so scared, poor thing; she expects the cops to come, and even if she wants to pack up and run North she can't because of her husband's leg." He made an angry noise. "What a unique situation: I've got tenants who are probably ready to vacate unconditionally but aren't because of an injury."<br /><br />"What if you get a vacate-notice from him, and then put him in a hospital, at your cost?"<br /><br />Domnic pursed his lips. "What the hell, anything's worth a try!"<br /><br />Mrs. Shah opened the door when he knocked, and she stepped aside so he could come in. He could see that she had been crying. Turning, he saw Mr. Shah lying down on the bed. He looked at Domnic silently, a sixty year old man who life had done a great wrong to. Domnic decided to get directly to the point. "Mr. Shah, you shouldn't be here, lying about in a place where there is no expert medical care available. I realize you have some financial troubles," he paused. "If I were to pay for your medical bills, would you go to a hospital?"<br /><br />His wife looked at Shah, who sat up. "That is very kind of you, my son.<br /><br />Would you really do that for us?"<br /><br />Domnic looked uncomfortable. "Uh, in return for this uh, service, I ask only that you give me due and proper Notice of vacating the premises. Once that is done, I'll get a van here and we'll transfer you out immediately to a good nursing home."<br /><br /> Shah looked troubled. "But most of my friends say that it is foolish for any tenant to leave the premises without getting some compensation, if not some new premises, then a sum of money. Maybe you can make us an offer.<br /><br />With the money you give to us, we would easily be able to cover my medical bills."<br /><br />Domnic looked surprised. He hadn't expected Shah to be so quick on his feet. Perhaps this would not be so easy as he'd thought. "What you say has some merit." he admitted. "How much money are you thinking about?"<br /><br />"What would a new flat constructed on these premises be worth? After all, that is what we would be giving up, is it not? Two-thirds that amount would be fair." He mentioned a figure.<br /><br />Domnic exhaled slowly. "That's a lot of money."<br /><br />"It is. But you have to look at it this way: is it worth paying me that amount in order to get this problem out of your way once and for all? Or would it be money wasted?"<br /><br />That's what it did boil down to, realized Domnic. If Shah took the money and scooted, the project could go ahead, and he would get a flat and two shops. For that, he would have to shell out several lakhs. If he refused, and Shah stayed put, the deal could go cold simply because the deadline expired. Shah seemed a shrewd man. He made up his mind. "Okay. I'll phone my bank manager and take a loan against my FDs. I'll ask him to keep the cash ready in his branch cabin. We'll go there together to collect it, and there, with him as witness, you sign the Vacate-Notice."<br /><br />Shah nodded. "That sounds fair. I'll start writing the Notice. You call the manager."<br /><br />Domnic stepped out of the house and stopped, shocked. Shah was walking toward him agilely. There was no sign of any plaster. "What-" began Domnic, but Shah held out a hand to silence him. "Please, Domnic, Mr. Fernandes: I think you should hear what I have to say first." His expression was one of regret, as though this were a task he would rather not be performing. "I was faking, there is no fracture. My wife took me to a private hospital and we paid a doctor to apply the cast over my leg. You're no doubt wondering why I did this." He shrugged. "I had always realised that one day we would have to leave this place, that you would think in terms of developing it.<br /><br />It has been my wish to finally return to my native place, but I was determined to get something, some financial remuneration in order to give this chawl up to you. Is it greed? Perhaps, yes just a little. But then, I looked at what you would be getting if you built flats here, and I told myself that you would be able to afford it.<br /><br />"Then, yesterday, you came around asking us if we would vacate. The same night, at 1 in the morning, some policemen come, with a story of a body buried. It was too much of a coincidence to be true. I told my wife that somehow you had hired the policemen to get rid of us so that you wouldn't have to pay. She was scared, and so was I. If you were ready to involve the police, who knew what scare-tactics they might be willing to use to get us out? I wanted out, but a part of me was still determined to get something out of you.<br /><br />"So I came up with this scheme to make it look like I could not vacate the premises. The idea that a cop was responsible for my injury seemed to be a bonus; I thought they would hesitate to be rough if they thought they were responsible for my fracture." He shrugged again. "I apologise; I deceived you and your sentiments must have been hurt. But before you erupt in anger, and renege on this deal, let me remind you to look at it this way: nothing else has changed. If you let your anger cloud your emotions and call this off, I will have no choice but to stay in my room, and I will phone all the other tenants and tell them how you were responsible for hounding them off the premises. I imagine that might create some problems for you. This way, however, you end up paying only me, following which the chawl becomes yours. I keep my mouth shut and go home." He crossed his arms. "Your call, Mr. Fernandes."<br /><br />For a long moment, Domnic stared at him, then said gruffly: "Come on, let's go to the bank; the manager's waiting."<br /><br />The formalities were complete soon, and Shah took possession of the bundles of money, and he signed the Notice which was witnessed by two officers of the bank staff. Domnic studied the document stiffly. It had cost him, this sheet of paper. He hoped it was worth it. Shah stood up. "I'll be leaving."<br /><br />Domnic got up, and together they left the bank. Outside, a taxi van was waiting for Shah. Mrs Shah was at the back. She looked remarkably composed for a woman who had been weeping her eyes out not even an hour ago. Domnic shook his head ruefully; taken in by an elderly couple. She handed Shah a key. He gave it to Domnic, who looked surprised. "Already packed?" Shah nodded, then got into the van and slid the door shut. "Goodbye, Mr. Fernandes."<br /><br />When Domnic returned home, he found his cousin and Daniel waiting there, standing near his verandah. "Hi, what are you guys doing here?" Daniel shrugged. "I came to see if I could help. I feel bad about that old man's leg."<br /><br />Domnic chuckled. "Don't. Nothing's wrong with his leg. He fooled us both." He went on to explain. They both looked stumped. "What a schemer!" His cousin exclaimed.<br /><br />"No bigger than Daniel." pointed out Domnic.<br /><br />"So you paid him in the end, huh."<br /><br />"I can't help feeling a little bad about that because if he hadn't been so smart, I could have simply scared him off without shelling out anything at all."<br /><br />"Still, better you pay one than all four. Think of how much you'd have had to have shelled out if all four of them had been there. I'd say you got off lightly, Domnic. Now, you can go ahead and call Rao."<br /><br />Domnic nodded. He held up Shah's key. "I'll just make sure the power and tap are both turned off." All three of them headed for the chawl. They went through the other three tenements, then entered Shah's.<br /><br />Like the others, the ground was still a mess, with dirt piled in one corner. Domnic stepped passed the pit, checked that the tap was off and the back door shut, then turned to leave.<br /><br />"Left this behind." It was Daniel. He was holding something. "Family photo; guess they won't be needing it." He handed it to Domnic. "Pa Shah, ma Shah, and I suppose that the two gents standing behind them are the sons; they certainly look like old man Shah."<br /><br />Yes, thought Domnic Fernandes, as he stared at the picture. Placed together in one frame, you could see the resemblance. "What does Mr. Rao look like?"<br /><br />He asked his cousin suddenly.<br /><br />"What? Oh let's see.. he's tall, fair-skinned, wears glasses-" Domnic let out a sigh and sat down heavily. "Gentlemen, I've been suckered, well and truly suckered." He pointed at the shorter son in the photo. "This is the man who came to me yesterday morning; the man who introduced himself as Mr. Rao, a builder interested in developing this property."<br /><br />http://www.goa-world.com/goa/goatoday/aug2000/<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoLFnVPKKVLqwn2C5i5cbmbJECx2X6SpY2Yrxor_qg97Lu7OYvUfAt0NcOhIgurjgWbsZS3Hnt9AwwTL1T0JD-VhebseiWw7iSYob_zAxD3c-BrKsKs0mPm0onS3UBuNEFxmKVEyl8_ew/s1600/Nostalgia.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoLFnVPKKVLqwn2C5i5cbmbJECx2X6SpY2Yrxor_qg97Lu7OYvUfAt0NcOhIgurjgWbsZS3Hnt9AwwTL1T0JD-VhebseiWw7iSYob_zAxD3c-BrKsKs0mPm0onS3UBuNEFxmKVEyl8_ew/s400/Nostalgia.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485974186536522722" /></a><br />[Yes, Goa Today magazine issues were archived at one time by gaspar almeida<br />at goa-world.com website in 2000]Goa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426802627759448354.post-86645071322347020372010-06-23T07:03:00.000-07:002010-06-23T07:05:55.830-07:00VIVA FIFA...TOON APPEARED GOA TODAY MAG JUNE ISSUE ..ENJOY<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghOwX5KvfUekWQcIJnN6qA813rd5bNIJ4JiDqz1VXMMHQtEgTAOyKewPh9qrmRRsUr5IW0I_ZGL6_MFfw0kGJqCJPutGu5Br71cm54llkM5lH_lfxw5IB7N2IduK_c_yZqAKYQVHj_9Hc/s1600/GOA+TODAY+FIFA+VIEWPOINT+JUNE+2010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 313px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghOwX5KvfUekWQcIJnN6qA813rd5bNIJ4JiDqz1VXMMHQtEgTAOyKewPh9qrmRRsUr5IW0I_ZGL6_MFfw0kGJqCJPutGu5Br71cm54llkM5lH_lfxw5IB7N2IduK_c_yZqAKYQVHj_9Hc/s400/GOA+TODAY+FIFA+VIEWPOINT+JUNE+2010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485969685484014226" /></a><br /><br /><br />VIVA FIFA...TOON APPEARED GOA TODAY MAGAZINE <br />JUNE ISSUE ..ENJOY<br /><br />alexyz fernandes <br /><alexyzhahoo at yahoo.com><br /><br /><br />- As forwarded to gaspar almeida, goa-world.com<br />23/6/2010Goa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426802627759448354.post-38165414894436768492010-01-23T23:24:00.000-08:002010-01-23T23:25:42.212-08:00Goa Sudharop Awards 2009 - Year of YouthThe Annual Awards presentation ceremony by Goa Sudharop Community Development Inc., a USA-based non-profit, volunteer NGO working for the betterment of Goa and Goans worldwide, was held at Hotel Mandovi, Panjim, on 14 January, 2010. Ms. Shilla Almeida, Youth Ambassador from the USA was also present for the function which was ably compered by GS volunteer, Mrs. Carmen Martins. The program also featured excellent cultural performances by the students of Fr. Agnel College, Pilar.<br /><br />In accordance with the Goa Sudharop theme for the year 2009 ("Year of Youth"), and as a mark of support and encouragement of their efforts and achievements, Goa Sudharop chose to give cash and other awards to youth and those working with youth, including students, institutions, social activists and others. <br /><br />The Chief Guest for the function was Mr. Rajendra Kerkar, a well-known activist committed to preserving the rich bio-diversity of Goa’s environment. In his address, Mr. Kerkar spoke on the scenario in the Goa of today, about the work being done by committed activists and of the dire need to preserve our natural resources and environment. <br /><br />Goan Youth Achiever Awards were presented to Mr. Swapnil Asnodkar for his outstanding performance in cricket, to Mr. Motes Antao for his sustained struggle and proactive role in the solidarity movement against destructive mining in Goa, to Adv.

A donation in public interest was earlier made to the SEZ Virodhi Manch towards administrative expenses of the campaign against SEZ’s in Goa.<br /><br />Mr. Pravin Sabnis who was the main facilitator and resource person for several Youth Leadership Workshops conducted by Goa Sudharop throughout the year at various institutions in Goa, spoke briefly on the need for such workshops which not only help the youth develop leadership qualities but also make them aware of current important issues in Goa. Fr. Frederick Rodrigues, Principal, Fr. Agnel College, Pilar also shared a few of his observations and experiences with respect to the youth programs that had been conducted during the year by Goa Sudharop in association with Fr. Agnel College, Pilar. Adv. Jessica Fernandes spoke about how, coming from an agricultural background, she was not only honoured to have been selected for the GS award for her role in the movement to protect agricultural land in Goa, but that the award was also an encouragement to her and to others to continue their efforts in this regard. Mr. Motes Antao also elucidated on his<br />experiences whilst working alongside other committed activists, against illegal and destructive mining in Goa. Youth Ambassador Ms. Shilla Almeida who has spent a major part of her recent visit to Goa in various GS related activities also briefly addressed the gathering.<br /><br />A report of the many activities conducted through the year 2009 was then presented by Mr. Ibonio D’Souza, the local representative of Goa Sudharop. Amongst other activities, Goa Sudharop also organized in association with the Centre for Panchayati Raj a workshop for women to enlighten them on the working of the Panchayati Raj system. Six Youth Leadership workshops were held at various colleges in the state, where the topics covered included proactive citizenship, environmental concerns, drug addiction, stress management, leadership and other subjects relevant to youth empowerment. <br /><br />Mr. D’Souza also informed the gathering that Goa Sudharop will shortly be holding an All Goa Youth meet on 23 Jan 2010 in association with the Chinmaya Yuva Kendra, Margao. The highlight of this meet will be a discourse on the topic “Discover the Jewel in You” by world renowned scholar and exponent H.H. Swami Tejomayanandaji, Head of the Chinmaya Mission, Worldwide. <br /><br />Mr. D’Souza concluded the report of activities with the remarks, “Some people despair, saying that Goa is gone or going or already orphaned. Goa Sudharop believes that if each of us lights his or her little lamp instead of cursing the darkness, we can flood the world with light and banish darkness forever. All of us present here today are lovers of Goa and many are valiant fighters for Goa’s honour at this juncture. Let’s swell these numbers, by ourselves being first the change that we wish to see around!”<br /><br />The function ended with a Vote of Thanks by Mr. Ibonio D’Souza to the Chief Guest, the recipients of the awards for their good work, the volunteers, and in particular to all the supporters and well wishers of Goa Sudharop.Goa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426802627759448354.post-39647548904053659282010-01-23T21:40:00.000-08:002010-01-23T21:46:11.535-08:00Mapusa cries for development - by Erwin Fonseca (The Navhind Times)Mapusa cries for development <br /><br />- by ERWIN FONSECA <br /><br />Friday, 22 January 2010 <br /> <br />MAPUSA: <br /><br />Mapusa, whose municipal market completed 50 years of its existence, has slipped into a chaotic city. The ills of civic life have taken a toll on the once well-planned city. And in the rough and tumble of politics and administration, the city fathers have forgotten to celebrate the golden jubilee of the municipal market.<br /><br />The golden jubilee of one of the oldest markets of Goa has gone practically unsung. Neither the Mapusa municipal council chairperson, the councilors nor the Mapusa MLA realised that the Mapusa market completed 50th years and it was a time to organise some events to mark the occasion. <br /><br />It was in January, 1960 that the last Governor of Portuguese-ruled Goa, General Manuel Antonio Vassalo E Silva had inaugurated the municipal market. It was a well-planned market with ample place in-between and shops constructed were in an orderly manner. <br /><br />Old-timers recalled that the Portuguese officials would regularly monitor the market and see that hygiene, discipline and order were maintained in the market. It was due to these efforts that Mapusa soon became popular worldwide for its Friday market as a lot of local produce would find its place in Mapusa. <br /><br />The once famous Mapusa market today is besotted by disorder in the city. The ills of civic life have raised their ugly head in the city. Parking woes, bad roads, garbage, choked drains, stinking nullah have created chaos in Mapusa. The infrastructure of the market has completely deteriorated and no concerted efforts seem to be made for improving the city. <br /><br />The work for the vegetable market has been incomplete for the last four years. There do not seem to be any signs that the fish market, which had been demolished for being in a bad state, will turn around soon. There is no decent hall which could help encourage the young artistes of Mapusa, though efforts are now on to construct a Ravindra Bhawan. <br /><br />Even the parks and gardens are badly maintained as is evident from the fact that most parks and gardens in Mapusa wear a near isolated look. Indiscipline among vendors and lack of market management is further putting Mapusa in bad light not only among the locals but even among the tourists. Except for the early councillors who were determined to keep an order in the city, the subsequent elected representatives, chief officers and bureaucrats failed miserably in making Mapusa a good city. <br /><br />The Mapusa MLA, Mr Francis D?Souza admitted that as an MLA he was also to be blamed for the mess of Mapusa as he is still struggling to give good roads and water to his people, but also blamed his councillors. Councillors from time to time ignore Mapusa and get involved in petty politics for personal gains. What is required is proper management of Mapusa market resources and decongestion of the market,? he said. Mr D'Souza claimed that when he was MMC chairperson he had made a lot of efforts, including construction of 400 shops in the city, that could decongest the market. <br /><br />On the other hand, the MMC chairperson, Ms Rupa Bhakta said, Ever since I took over a year back I have tried to do whatever I could. However, it will require some time for Mapusa to regain its lost glory. I am definitely working for the improvement of Mapusa. She said the possibility of celebrating 50 years of the city market in the immediate future could not be ruled out as that would be a very good occasion for seeking more government help. Mr Vengurlekar, a prominent businessman of Mapusa who has been in the business in Mapusa since Portuguese regime reminisced, There was hygiene, cleanliness and order in Mapusa then. The Portuguese rulers were quite concerned about the maintenance of the market.<br /> <br />The residents of Mapusa are complaining about the rampant constructions coming up and choking the city in the midst of the sewage problem and water scarcity. Without mincing his words, Mr Ratnapal Salkar of the Mapusa Citizens Forum said, Some villages around Mapusa are much better than Mapusa, a major commercial city of North Goa. If Mapusa, which was once a very good city, is a very bad city today then it is our misfortune. He said that Mapusa is decaying and the stinking nullah in front of the fish market is proof of this. Our elected representatives from Mapusa have only one-point agenda: converting Mapusa into a concrete jungle. <br /><br />www.navhindtimes.inGoa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426802627759448354.post-63634715363482587762010-01-23T00:51:00.000-08:002010-01-23T01:17:44.445-08:00IFFCO-TOKIO PERSONAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE PROPOSALIFFCO-Tokio General Insurance (ITGI) was incorporated on 4th December 2000 with a vision of being industry leader by building customer satisfaction through fairness, transparency, and quick response.

Gandhi was responding to a question on the plummeting standards of politics and governance in Goa, during an hour-long interactive session with students at the Goa University (GU) campus Tuesday.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1pvIoge9kewHX2L6lfA-eDoDGpy5Eq9qdajfuige7ZQ1HcfGG75CyPgssB-pdCYqG254pT1fM6JkZCWzbQsZcCLDHsXTDHPGQ5h9rrn7z0qd_DuqrxDqS8gXIfWL_fQ8LR6NY98pRao/s1600-h/A1+RAHUL+GANDHII.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1pvIoge9kewHX2L6lfA-eDoDGpy5Eq9qdajfuige7ZQ1HcfGG75CyPgssB-pdCYqG254pT1fM6JkZCWzbQsZcCLDHsXTDHPGQ5h9rrn7z0qd_DuqrxDqS8gXIfWL_fQ8LR6NY98pRao/s400/A1+RAHUL+GANDHII.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429051223000389490" /></a>“I cannot change the politics in Goa. If you people can join politics here, then definitely you can. We want to involve youngsters into the organisation. That’s how we can come up,” the 39-year-old son of Congress president Sonia Gandhi said, adding that if youngsters did not want to join politics to change it, they should not complain about the state it is in.<br /><br />The session was attended by nearly 1,500 students, most of whom were associated with the National Students Union of India (NSUI). Speaking on criminalization of politics, Gandhi said that while he was against parties allowing criminals in their ranks, the unit in the Congress which he looked after had no criminals in them. “I look after the Youth Congress and the NSUI. <br /><br />In my organisations there is no one with a criminal background… Those who were, we have shown them the door,” Gandhi said.<br /><br />Gandhi, who was in Goa on a half-day visit later met Youth Congress officials and the pradesh congress committee members.<br /><br /><br />Courtesy:TOI<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrk29G35I40BRGN5MwdBxiO60v9mp_w1UxYPFuf5eKy29ROq5P4t62mnkAGLeU7dv5uCujc8tbRn7Je7qv3UhC0_5qn38e6sJ6LPgyO2By9DONF7E7YkgKufZtWXw9AtmaIzY5l1L9m9M/s1600-h/a1+GOA+CAN.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 233px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrk29G35I40BRGN5MwdBxiO60v9mp_w1UxYPFuf5eKy29ROq5P4t62mnkAGLeU7dv5uCujc8tbRn7Je7qv3UhC0_5qn38e6sJ6LPgyO2By9DONF7E7YkgKufZtWXw9AtmaIzY5l1L9m9M/s400/a1+GOA+CAN.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429051380955020322" /></a>Goa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426802627759448354.post-68163037207857641662010-01-11T22:18:00.000-08:002010-01-12T07:18:22.390-08:00MILAGRINCHO KHURIS - VATT<strong>MILAGRINCHO KHURIS - VATT </strong>(MIRACULOUS CROSS - THE WAY)<br /><br /><br />It is an open fact that most of us were converted to the Christianity by the Portuguese, soon after it set foot in Goa in 1510.<br /><br />The early converts liked to proudly show off their newly acquired emblem - the cross. So, wayside crosses began to appear all over Goa. The converts usually took on the name of the priest or the College who or where they were baptized.<br /><br />After conversion, they were expected to make a clean break from their Hindu past. Not only were their names changed but also their food habits, social customs and even dress had to conform to the way of living of the European Christians.<br /><br />Several old Hindu practices were enhanced in their Christianized versions. The place of honor given to the family deity was now given to the Oratorio.<br /><br />The flame burned before a crucifix and various Christian saints. The Tulsi plant in front of the house gave way to the Cross in front of Christian homes, and Christian prayers accompanied pre-marriage ceremonies.<br /><br />In villages, the Novem (harvest procession) was headed by a Christian priest instead of a Hindu one and he also performed the traditional blessing of the first sheaves of paddy.<br /><br />When a house foundation was laid, they carved out a cross on a stone and it was kept in front of the house until the construction was over.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjDN1jjfgW0D3I063tN_wW0fDJO8EK4Z1lx-_T_5awOJOyQumIx6oSW2b_Yiiy9jkD2O_IrCJucU_Re5n33IskO-V9vRElgsAxQNx6ukIr_Eoq3YG24uIxvgzogYbbRs9ESpmVroIft-0/s1600-h/cross.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 144px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjDN1jjfgW0D3I063tN_wW0fDJO8EK4Z1lx-_T_5awOJOyQumIx6oSW2b_Yiiy9jkD2O_IrCJucU_Re5n33IskO-V9vRElgsAxQNx6ukIr_Eoq3YG24uIxvgzogYbbRs9ESpmVroIft-0/s200/cross.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425741670102302626" /></a>As soon as a house was complete, they raised a stone pedestal inside the compound, opposite the balcony/verandah, and placed the cross-carved stone on it; this tradition is now slowly dying out. They celebrated a litany to the cross and inaugurated the house. They then placed flowers and adored the cross every day.<br /><br />If you look around, you come across several crosses in Anjuna. Individually owned crosses are located inside their compounds and others are located by the road. Similarly, whenever a person met with an accident and died on the road, they erected and still erect a cross on the spot so passers by remember him/her and pray for his/her soul.<br /><br />Most 'capelinas' (little chapels) which don't celebrate mass on Sundays are dedicated to Santa Cruz (Holy Cross) and their feast is celebrated all over Goa on May 3. In Portuguese they say: 'Tres de Maio, Santa Cruz'! (The third of May, Holy Cross!)<br /><br />Thus, some crosses became the venue of individual and community prayer, which later on turned into chapels.<br /><br />In the past, we celebrated only one feast in Anjuna in the month of January - the feast of Our Lady the Advocate of sinners, which was also known and is still known as "Boramchem fest" - (Feast of wild berries) because Anjuna is full of wild berry trees and they bear the fruit during this month. The feast was celebrated yesterday.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZjVq87xF4x5lNt1RdgTMyPnj24c7FlDzOHJtxEzo8NFLS72vDRMZ7yn64a4pEdLAWPwhzxt-kgxJJtRhPNu5v5uqO2EoP6uk-DmUslhXCn2_bIuFQJTp5a3NdvG9hyphenhyphenQ8TTbkYiInAYWU/s1600-h/pf4.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 188px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZjVq87xF4x5lNt1RdgTMyPnj24c7FlDzOHJtxEzo8NFLS72vDRMZ7yn64a4pEdLAWPwhzxt-kgxJJtRhPNu5v5uqO2EoP6uk-DmUslhXCn2_bIuFQJTp5a3NdvG9hyphenhyphenQ8TTbkYiInAYWU/s400/pf4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425872440245587250" /></a>From 1999, we began to celebrate the feast of the Holy Cross on the hill, which is known as "Milagrincho Khuris" (The Miraculous Cross). The feast is always celebrated on the 2nd Monday of January at 4:30 p.m.<br /><br />During our childhood the cross was known as "Dongravoilo Khuris" (Cross from the hill). It was also known as "Gorvam Raknneancho Khuris" (Cowherd's Cross) because during the monsoon season when cowherds grazed their cattle on the hill, whenever it rained, they took shelter in it.<br /><br />If you stand in front of the cross, you can see the lush green valley below and also have a clear aerial view of most of Anjuna. From the left you can see Danddo/Sam Miguel Vaddo, Praias, Anjuna beach, D'Mello vaddo, Vagator, Xapora, the ancient Xapora Fort and the Arabian Sea beyond. On its right, you can see Badem, Siolim hill, Assagao and its church and part of North Mapusa. In the past, one could also see Marmagoa Harbour in the distance and the ships in the wait in the Arabian Sea, but now that view is blocked by growing trees.<br /><br />Half a century ago, very few people venerated the cross. In our childhood, we visited the cross during our trips to the hill to collect "churnam and kannttam".<br /><br />The only other time we visited the cross was when there was delay in rainfall. In the past, it almost always rained by mid-May. Due to this fact, most paddy fields were prepared for cultivation by mid-May. However, sometimes there would be delay in the rainfall, or if it rained it would suddenly stop raining and render the fields dry.<br /><br />Whenever such a situation arose, people from Gaumvaddy, Igrez Vaddo, St. Sebastian Vaddo, and other vaddos, went on a foot pilgrimage to the cross. Elderly as well as children, gathered in the compound of St. John's chapel and then marched to "Dongravoilo Khuris". Each person carried a sizeable stone on his/her head, as a penance. We said rosaries, sang religious hymns and prayed throughout our journey. <br />Special hymns were sung during our trip to the cross. The following lines come to my mind:<br /><br />Voile, voile vainginnim<br />Pavs ghal ghe Saibinnim.<br /><br />Sant Anton manchea bettan<br />Pavs ghal Saiba amchea xetan<br /><br />San Anton boddvo<br />Pavs ghal Saiba toddvo.<br /><br />We would thus pray, sing hymns and proceed to the cross. Once at the foot of the cross, everyone knelt on the hard ground/rock and prayed whole-heartedly for the rainfall. Believe me, by the time we climbed down the hill, we would experience light showers; sometimes it rained quite heavily. Yes, it was a miracle!<br /><br />Many miracles took place and still take place. Hence, the cross was named <br />"Milagrincho Khuris - Vatt" (Miraculous Cross - the Way) and the same is now written on 'Lobo's Memorial Arch', which is placed at the beginning of steps leading to the cross on 22/2/1992.<br /><br />The arch was donated by Maria Magdalena M. Lobo, Felix Agnelo R. Lobo, Maria S. Lobo (Diana), Felen S. D. Lobo, Steffi M.F. Lobo, Dalenie Lobo and Aloisus Lobo in ever-loving memory of Francisco Gregorio Domingo Lobo (Tiplin), Dr. Blaze Michael Joaquim Lobo & Albert Tiburcio Lobo:<br /><br />In the past, if one looked at the cross from the land/road during months of March, April and May, one would see a person seated on its top. He was none other than "Kazkar Laddko" - Laddko from Chinvar who hired the Anjuna hill for cashew crop.<br /><br />The top of the cross served him as a watch tower from where he used his binoculars (eyes) to find out if local boys climbed the hill to steal his cashews/cashew seeds. If he noticed anyone climbing the hill, he would alight from the cross, run towards that direction and drive the boys away. If anyone was caught stealing "fokam" (raw cashew seeds) or cashew seeds, he was slapped and warned that next time he would be <br />punished with application of "bibeacho dik" (raw cashew seed sap).<br /><br />In the past, there was no way to go to the cross; people followed several foot paths created by "kazkars" to walk to the cross. Now there is a flight of stairs - 309 steps in all (could have been many more steps but for spread-out platforms in between steps) so people in good health can easily climb the stairs (thinking that they are climbing Mount Calvary) and pay a visit to the Miraculous Cross.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilSrzBov5INK3iJ6qFn1O2GO7jsHlxY3kILV3qlAwiinX5YRMxwDXNkVSFZPzPwqfyZTo7DTG5rNAmY_DObYegiju6ltUbQ0eNVU0H5hAP5-6Bwgic15Jy-HTwsbBE5pXWWbLIAFldoOM/s1600-h/stationsofthecross.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilSrzBov5INK3iJ6qFn1O2GO7jsHlxY3kILV3qlAwiinX5YRMxwDXNkVSFZPzPwqfyZTo7DTG5rNAmY_DObYegiju6ltUbQ0eNVU0H5hAP5-6Bwgic15Jy-HTwsbBE5pXWWbLIAFldoOM/s400/stationsofthecross.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425872870326320354" /></a>Fourteen Stations of the Cross have been arranged on either side of flight of stairs leading to the cross. Station No.1-5 and No.10 are located on the right side and Station Nos.6-9 and 11-14 are located on the left side. Every year, Way of the Cross is held on the 5th Friday of Lent at 4:00 p.m. followed by the Mass.<br /><br />The little 'capelina' (chapel) was built in 1929. It was always painted and is still painted with 'dovem koyar' (whitewash). No changes have been made to the 'capelina'. A new altar has been built in front of the chapel. On 16/1/1999, stadium-type round seats of stones were built on its right side, and on the left side on 1/1/2000.<br /><br />On the exterior, in front of the 'capelina', just below the cross, the year (1929) is written, and below that a white dove, symbolizing Holy Spirit, is carved out. Inside the 'capelina', just below the cross, the following writing appears:<br /><br />YOU OPEN WIDE YOUR<br />HAND OH LORD AND<br />GRANT OUR DESIRE<br /><br />The following writing appears on the pedestal of the indoor altar:<br /><br />'THE CROSS PRAYER'<br /><br />Oh adorable Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, you've suffered death on the cross for our sins. Oh Holy Cross of Jesus, be my true light! Oh Holy Cross, fill my soul with good thoughts. Oh Holy Cross, ward off from me all things that are evil. Oh Holy Cross, ward off from me all dangers and deaths and give me life everlasting. Oh crucified Jesus of Nazareth, have mercy on me now and forever. In honour of the precious blood of Jesus, His death, resurrection, and ascension which lead to everlasting life; true as Jesus was born on Christmas day; true as Jesus was <br />crucified on Good Friday; true as Joseph and Nicodemus took Jesus down from the Cross and buried Him; true as Jesus ascended into heaven. May He preserve me from my enemies visible and invisible forever. Oh Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me. Mary and Joseph pray for me. Lord Jesus Christ, through your suffering on the cross, grant me strength to bear the cross without fear or dread and give me the grace that I may follow you. Amen.'<br /><br />So, dear readers, a lot used to happen and many miracles took place in the past because people's faith was very strong which is why God immediately heard their prayers and granted their requests. Nowadays, people's faith in God has diminished, and instead of praying to God, they question over His existence and create confusion in Christian society. This is why these days instead of raining in the month of May <br />it rains in July, and, when it rains, it pours and creates floods and submerges most everything.<br /><br />Whenever you are in Anjuna, please don't forget to pay a visit to the Miraculous Cross. If you pray sincerely, your request will surely be granted!<br /><br />'SAIBACHEM PANVOLL' - (LORD'S FOOT)<br /><br />If you walk about a kilometer on the south of the Miraculous Cross, you come across yet another chapel. Actually, there was no chapel in the past. The "Saibachem Panvoll" (the Lord's Foot) was on a rock. If you look around, you will come across stone quarries. Perhaps, people who extracted stones from the quarries decided to carve out a foot as a remembrance and named it as the 'Lord's Foot'. As children, we visited the place along with the elderly from our ward and other wards to pray for rain.<br /><br />The following is written at the top of the chapel:<br /><br />AD 1905<br />Construido Por<br />Manuel Francisco Dos Remedios<br /><br />Last year, a foreigner built a chapel on the spot. It was nice of him to erect a chapel but I think it was wrong on his part to cover the whole rock on which the foot was carved out. Now, only the foot is left in an enclosure; the whole rock is covered with ceramic tiles.<br /><br />Moi-mogan,<br /><br />Domnic Fernandes<br />Anjuna, Goa<br />Mob: +91 9420979201<br />Email: domvalden @ hotmail dot com<br /><br />[As forwarded to www.goa-world.com on 11-01-2010]<br /><br />+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br /><br />LINK ARTICLE:<br /><br />ADIM ANI ATAM: <br />"FEAST AT ANJUNA HILLTOP: The annual feast of the Miraculous Cross at the Anjuna Hill will be celebrated on January 12 at 4:30 p.m.(NT)"<br /><br />Adim Anjuna ganvan, Janerachea muinean, fokot ek fest astalem, Advogad Saibinimchem fest zaka lok “Boramchem fest” mhunnon pachartalet, karann hea muinean sogleam Anjunchea borink boram zatat.<br /><br />Maka ekdom khoxi bhogli vachun Janerache 12 tarkechea dispottea “Goacom Daily News Clippings”-acher ki porchea dissa, Anjunchea dongrar, Milagrinchea Khursachi porob somorpili mhunnon.

And such miracle did take place in the city on January 6, when forty out of the 90-odd students belonging to the 1960 batch of the Liceu Nacional Afonso de Albuquerque, the premier educational institution for higher studies during the Portuguese era, gathered to celebrate the golden jubilee of their school memories.<br /><br />The nostalgic congregation had former ‘Lyciumites’ arriving from as far as America and Europe, and proving that though they lived in 2010, their hearts still resided in 1960, when they bid adieu to each other and went in search of better future in the then not-so-bad world.<br /><br />Mr Antonio Soares, one such student, now in his late sixties and settled in London for the past 40 years said that he is attending the gathering because he loves Goa. “After completing my education at Lycium, I went to Lisbon for further study; however, Goa was soon liberated and I had to move from Portugal to Germany,” Mr Soares stated, informing that he eventually decided to settle in England. “But after visiting various places all over the world, being in Goa is absolutely wonderful,” he said.<br /><br />Mr Frederico Brito, another student of the batch however, not only stayed in Goa but also remained stuck to his residence at Altinho, interestingly, in the vicinity of the Lycium, which has now been converted into the High Court complex. “After passing out of Lycium, I was directly admitted to BA and subsequently completed my MA at the post graduation centre, in early 1970s,” Mr Brito said, mentioning that he recently retired as chief trunk supervisor, after 40 years of service in BSNL. <br />Mr Brito further informed that the former rector of Lycium, Mr Cardozo Margarido, who went back to Portugal after Goa’s Liberation, used to come to Goa every year. “He would put up a chair and sit near the Lycium building, and get lost in the memories of the bygone days,” Mr Brito revealed, pointing out that Mr Nuno Vassallo e Silva, the grandson of the last Governor General of Portuguese India, General Manuel António Vassalo e Silva, who is presently in charge of the antique section of the Portugal-based Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, is his good friend and occasionally visits Goa.<br /><br />The grand gathering of the ‘Class of 1960’ was however made possible by the three students of the batch - Mr Homem Cristo P da Costa, Mr Alberto Rebeiro Silveira and Mr Vasco de Souza - all presently settled in Germany.<br />Mr Silveira told this daily that he established contact with most of his classmates through e-mails. “However, getting their e-mail addresses was a Herculean task,” he remarked, further informing that one of the students of the particular batch, residing in Vasco, was keen to attend the get-together, but died few days ago. Mr Silveira also mentioned that a mini get-together of the students of the particular batch, now staying in Portugal, was held at Casa de Goa, in Lisbon on September 26, 2009.<br /><br />Dr Maria Jose Piedade Rego, a Portuguese language teacher and Father Arnolfo Mazarello, who taught religion to the ‘Class of 1960’ also attended the January 6 meet.<br /><br />Dr Sydney Pinto Rosario, yet another student of the batch said that he had to stay back in Goa and study medicine, as his father ran a hospital. “In fact, the medical course had me studying pathology from Portuguese books, physiology from Spanish books, anatomy from French books and surgery from English books,” he recalled. <br /><br />Another Margao-based doctor, Dr Kisan Sanzgiri informed that he was compelled to stay in Goa as he had a family as well as property here. “Since I completed my medical course in Portuguese, I had to face really tough UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) interview at Delhi, before being inducted as a health officer in the department of health,” the now retired medical superintendent noted.<br /><br />Ms Emma Proença, wife of noted Goan paediatrician, Dr Aleixo Proença recollected that a substantial number of girls studied at the Lycium during 1950s. “However, very few of them went for the medical course at the Escola Medico Cirurgica da Goa,” she added. <br /><br />The emotion-filled evening witnessed various activities ranging from photographic presentations of the Lycium days to sharing of jokes and sentimental speeches to entertainment programme, which included Portuguese songs by Dr Francisco Colaço, a ‘mando’ by Ms Ananta Hedo and dance by Dr Eduardo and Ms Sushila Fonseca.<br /><br />It was quite interesting to observe the ‘Old Lycium students’ conquer time and defy age as the collage of black and white memories turned multi-coloured, providing them a rare opportunity to get a whiff of their precious, formative years. It appeared as if time had almost been frozen, with the ‘Class of 1960’ moving back to the past; a dream the batch wanted to achieve for the last 50 years.<br /><br /> <br />http://www.navhindtimes.in/buzz/7196-2010-to-1960-back-to-the-past<br /><br />8.01.2010Goa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426802627759448354.post-37677940397328860202010-01-07T01:19:00.001-08:002010-01-07T01:19:28.451-08:00What Goans Have for BreakfastThis essay was first published way back in 1996, and the<br />author underlines that his favourite book is Wayne Booth's A<br />Rhetoric of Irony [http://tinyurl.com/8qd8va]<br /><br />* * *<br /><br />What Goans Have for Breakfast<br /><br />By Augusto Pinto<br />pintogoa at gmail.com<br /><br />"History is the most dangerous<br />of all the products of the<br />chemical laboratory of our<br />mind. It stimulates dreaming,<br />it intoxicates nations, it<br />generates in them false<br />memories, exaggerates their<br />reflexes, irritates their old<br />wounds, deprives them of peace<br />and infects them with<br />megalomania or mania of<br />persecution." Paul Valery<br /><br />The Goan has a strong stomach. He must have, given the spicy<br />stuff he consumes. This applies to his intellectual diet as<br />well. The Guide to Goan Food For Thought is of course the<br />"Letters to the Editor" columns of any of the local dailies.<br /><br />This article examines one of the most stunning courses cooked<br />up in 1995. A debate on Goan history, culture and identity<br />which saw letters on the subject appearing in the papers for<br />almost every other day of the year.<br /><br /> The focus will be on the letters of two Mr. P. P.<br /> Shirodkars -- both great men. The elder one was an<br /> illustrious freedom fighter, jailed by the<br /> Portuguese for many years. He later became the<br /> first Speaker of the Goa Assembly where he was<br /> renowned for putting down at every opportunity<br /> Konkani or "Concaannim", that corrupt dialect of<br /> the Marathi language.<br /><br />His son who is the Director of Archives is reputed to be a<br />great historian. It was difficult to distinguish between them<br />during the controversy but that matters not, as they<br />obviously shared not only the same name but the same views.<br /><br />Before proceeding, sample some excerpts from letters that<br />appeared at the height of the row. First P.P. Shirodkar. "The<br />persons whose ancestors were converted , mostly to Roman<br />Catholicism by the barbarous Portuguese should rid themselves<br />of whatever non-Indian customs, habits and uses they imbibed<br />from them. This includes the Portuguese and Spanish surnames<br />like De Souza, De Miranda, De Lima, De Lisboa and De<br />Albuquerque, which suggests that their ancestors must have<br />come from Portugal putting their true local roots in doubt."<br /><br />Mr. Shirodkar then expressed his distaste for names derived<br />from trees like "Pinheiro, Oliveira and Carvalho" (pine,<br />olive and oak) and from animals like "Lobo (landgo in<br />Marathi)" which he felt were not "of the torrid zone of Goa."<br />Likewise he said any Hindu or even Muslim family would have<br />been very insulted "if they were branded with the surname<br />related to the swine species" or "with the surname Komlo<br />which is the Konkani meaning of Pinto, and which also refers<br />to the sexual organs of a male child, when teasing him."<br /><br /> Within a week Jose Fernandes of Siolim shot<br /> back,"What is wrong with Pinho, Carvalho (pine,<br /> oak) etc. in a land that has Mensenkai, Iruli<br /> (chilly, onion) Zirulli (cockroach) as surnames?<br /><br />These plants and insects are not of Indian origin either. Is<br />a Bhandary without bhandar (wealth) or a Jagirdar (landlord)<br />without land any more relevant than a Pinto among the<br />casuarinas?<br /><br />The communalist, casteist and racist overtones which some<br />felt were apparent in the letter of Joseph Fernandes have<br />always lurked under the skins of the Christians of Goa. But<br />never was it aired so blatantly as during this controversy.<br />How did this happen?<br /><br />Around the time of the Exposition of the relics of St.<br />Francis Xavier in 1994, the Xavier Centre for Historical<br />Research organised a Seminar on the life of the Saint. Dr.<br />P.P. Shirodkar here delivered a paper entitled, "St Francis<br />Xavier: An Anti-View" which reportedly created quite a stir.<br /><br />This enraged one Placido Martins who challenged Shirodkar to<br />publish his paper in the press. Shirodkar replied on December<br />28, 1994 in The Navhind Times. Perhaps correctly referring to<br />the Saint as "Master" Francis Xavier, he blamed him for<br />being,"solely instrumental in inviting the ignominious<br />institution of Inquisition to India, which resulted in<br />unimagined frenzied brutalities on the victims in the name of<br />heresy and religion, besides committing atrocities to their<br />near and dear ones for no fault of theirs."<br /><br /> He stated that this,"left a serious impact on the<br /> Goan psyche from which even present generations<br /> have not fully recovered." In his long letter,<br /> Shirodkar went on to suggest that the Vatican<br /> should,"de-canonize unholy men to save future<br /> generations from treading the path of religious<br /> bigotry." With this all hell broke loose.<br /><br />Several writers, almost all Christian, wrote hysterically to<br />the Press attacking Shirodkar's views. The father and son duo<br />defended their point of view very ably.<br /><br />In late February a new twist was given to the brouhaha after<br />Shirodkar made an innocent remark about a book of Goan<br />cooking by Gilda Mendonca, which he felt should be correctly<br />called,"Roman Catholic Goan Cooking." He expressed his<br />distaste for the hideous practice of eating pork and drinking<br />alcohol in Christian homes and explained how Hindu cuisine<br />was so much more kosher.<br /><br />Later he was to make illuminating comments on the corrupt<br />dialect of "Concaanim" used by Roman Catholics as their<br />mother-tongue and around June put forth his opinions<br />regarding names. More howls of protest followed.<br /><br />In November came what was perhaps his piece de resistance. He<br />suggested that a Church in Old Goa built by Afonso de<br />Albuquerque to commemorate victory over Adilshah, be<br />turned,"a common Indian religious temple of Adi-Mayaa or<br />Eternal Mother, dispensing blessings to all. The Murti (icon)<br />being a lady of only two hands either erect or sitting on a<br />throne of Indian type, holding a globe in one hand and a<br />lotus in the other." Sadly, "this remarkable suggestion" for<br />improving communal harmony was greeted by stony silence from<br />the Church authorities.<br /><br />The reactions of the Christian letter writers were quite<br />pathetic. They behaved like Shylock in The Merchant of<br />Venice, "He hath laugh'd at my losses, mock'd at my gains,<br />scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends,<br />heated my enemies. And what's his reason? I am a Jew."<br /><br /> Shylock's lust for his pound of flesh did him no<br /> good. Neither did the rantings of Goan Christians<br /> against the Shirodkars.<br /><br />The Christians used all kinds of tactics to confuse the<br />issue. They quoted long tracts from religious books. They<br />quoted Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi, Swami<br />Vivekananda, Dr. Radhakrishna and other big names to cover<br />their sins. This failed.<br /><br />They tried to shift the grounds of the argument to matters of<br />caste, dowry and sati. This was unconvincing. They tried to<br />counter-attack by questioning the basis of Hinduism and<br />bringing up irrelevant matters such as the alleged Aryan<br />aggression against the Dravidians. All this was refuted in<br />scholarly style by the Shirodkars.<br /><br />Finally they hurled personal abuse upon the Shirodkars. They<br />passed snide comments on the elder's ancestry and questioned<br />how the younger one could accept the hospitality of the<br />Portuguese. The Shirodkars gave back as good as they got.<br /><br />When even this failed the Christians began pleading with the<br />editors to stop the correspondence on the matter. Thankfully<br />in the interests of truth and freedom of speech this was not<br />done.<br /><br />One of the best thing about this debate was that history, a<br />subject that was once considered as dry as dates has now<br />become relevant even exciting. Books that once gathered dust<br />on the shelves are now pulled out and read like novels.<br /><br /> The works of the late Prof. Anant Kakba Priolkar<br /> for instance, have again become popular. Priolkar's<br /> work, published in the 1950s and 1960s set the<br /> agenda for many of the raging debates of today.<br /><br />The themes he has dwelt upon such as the Inquisition; Who is<br />a Goan?; the Konkani v/s Marathi issue; the Merger Question;<br />and the problem with Goan Christian names - are all relevant<br />even today.<br /><br />The Shirodkars have developed many of the ideas first<br />formulated by this painstaking scholar. For example, Priolkar<br />in his magnum opus -- The Goa Inquisition (1961) --<br />documented with meticulous care what he felt was the harm<br />done to the Hindus by that terrifying tribunal.<br /><br />The Shirodkars follow Priolkar on most points but introduce a<br />subtle improvement to his research with the aid of two<br />unstated assumptions.<br /><br />1] Goan Christians: The oppressive collaborators of the<br />colonialists.<br /><br />2] Goan Hindus: The oppressed freedom fighters.<br /><br />Once this truth is established the only question remaining<br />is what reparations the Christians should make for the harm<br />done to their Hindu ancestors.<br /><br />Before going to the next point it is worthwhile mentioning<br />that there may be nitpickers who will badger the Shirodkars<br />for evidence for their assumptions. This is not necessary as<br />surely the truth is self-evident.<br /><br />But then irrelevant works will be quoted. For example Agentes<br />de Diplomacia Portuguesa na India (1952) by the late Dr.<br />Pandurang Pissurlekar a predecessor of Dr. Shirodkar in the<br />Goa Archives. This work suggests that there existed a<br />significant Hindu elite which always worked faithfully for<br />the political interests of the Portuguese.<br /><br /> The work of M. N. Pearson will be dug up. He is a<br /> foreigner who suggests in Coastal Western India<br /> (1981) that throughout the Portuguese era the<br /> Saraswat Brahmins ruled the economic roost.<br /> Pearson's mentality can be said to be to typically<br /> illustrate the divide and rule policy of colonialists.<br /><br />Medieval Goa (1979) by Teotonio De Souza, a work of Jesuit<br />sophistry will be cited. Without denying the existence of a<br />Christian elite, this book points out that the mass of the<br />Christian people were ruthlessly exploited and lived at<br />subsistence levels.<br /><br />It further insinuates that without the all-out collaboration<br />of the Hindu business community in revenue administration and<br />trade, Portuguese colonial exploitation would have been<br />different if not altogether short circuited.<br /><br />Such kinds of research based on foreign concepts like<br />Marxism, or other strange ideas like Feminism or<br />Post-Structuralism and so forth must be guarded against if<br />not completely suppressed. Such philosophies promote the<br />subversive idea that identity is the result of several<br />factors caste, language, region, class, education and sex and<br />not only of religion. Too many common people have begun<br />subscribing to such views and they should be stopped before<br />the situation deteriorates.<br /><br />The star of Indian nationalism is on the ascendant following<br />the glorious destruction of the Babri Masjid and the<br />subsequent riots. But the good work must be continued and<br />reinforced at every level. In Goa, the two Shirodkars have<br />taken over the task of providing the wholesome healthy<br />nourishment the people require if they are to become true<br />blue-blooded Goenkars.<br /><br />If in the foreseeable future the true Hindus completely<br />regain the power enjoyed by their ancestors, it is to be<br />hoped that they repay with interest the debt of gratitude<br />they owe to the firm of P.P. Shirodcar e Filho.<br /><br />............................................................<br />This article was first published in Herald - The Illustrated<br />Review January 27-February 15, 1996.<br /><br />Contact the author: Augusto Pinto pintogoa at gmail.com or<br />ypintogoa at yahoo.co.in P 0832-2470336 M 9881126350Goa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426802627759448354.post-4883447483068594262009-12-24T02:51:00.000-08:002009-12-24T02:52:59.507-08:00Invitation to all Nri's Pio's & Oci's and those interestedSubject: Invitation to all Nri's Pio's & Oci's and those interested<br />From: carlomenze@rediffmail.com <br />To, <br />All Concerned <br /> <br />To safeguard their property a meeting of all NRIS, PIOS & OCIS is being held <br />on Tuesday, 29th Dec. 2009 at Clube Vasco da Gama, Panjim between 1030 hrs <br />and 1200 hrs to discuss the following:-<br />1.

The gram sabha was held in front of the Colva panchayat building and the three resolutions passed were pertaining to the proposal of construction of water channels and de-silting of two lakes, Daktem Tollem and Vodlem Tollem, and building of sluice gates; the construction of 24-hour Health Centre promoted by NRI office and Colva United Centre, based in Kuwait; and the third was construction of an electricity power sub-station.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3NPzuNzSLgMS-NEYZOL0jumCCeGcczWEzc44eYwWMG9p7XN_Eh5exovG2YQIT-XnpKLs0dYVJZKUq-jgTI4H6-maw1WAy5inOKx2eXdz_AxgtxAl599-DaKqvN7l61nbloX9PwLk2dCU/s1600/Alex+pre.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3NPzuNzSLgMS-NEYZOL0jumCCeGcczWEzc44eYwWMG9p7XN_Eh5exovG2YQIT-XnpKLs0dYVJZKUq-jgTI4H6-maw1WAy5inOKx2eXdz_AxgtxAl599-DaKqvN7l61nbloX9PwLk2dCU/s400/Alex+pre.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407240349834884050" /></a>While the first resolution was moved on behalf of Tenants Association of Teleband and Socklivand of Sernabatim by Mr Jovek Cardozo, the second resolution was jointly moved by Alexandre M Fernandes, the former president of Colva United Centre, Kuwait and Dr Robinson Costa, while the third resolution was moved by Mr Carmo Rodrigues. The panchayat body as well as the gram sabha unanimously adopted these public interest resolutions and in fact congratulated the gram sabha members for bringing in good proposals that will help in upliftment and progress of Colva village.<br /><br />Speaking at length while moving the resolution for the construction of water channels and desilting of lakes and also some ponds in Sernabatim area, Mr Cardozo said that the Sernabatim ward has two lakes with sluice gates connected to the narrow water channels to supply water to all the fields in the area. He said the farmers use the sluice gates to regulate and control the flow of water.<br /><br />It was pointed out that rain water is stored in these lakes with the help of the sluice gates, and later utilised for irrigation for the summer crop.<br /><br />It was further pointed out that the water channels are supported by thick mounds of mud on either side, which at times collapse, causing water logging which in turn leads to the rotting of the crop. It was therefore pleaded to construct concrete water channels and also protect the sluice gates.<br /><br />Similarly, the second proposal of 24-hour health center, moved jointly by Dr Costa and Mr Fernandes also received large acceptance, keeping in view the need to take care of the heath of the villagers. Mr Fernandes was publicly congratulated for even making arrangements of funds for this project. This project will be managed and run by the Health Department, provided the panchayat allots proper land for the construction of this project. Mr Fernandes asked the panchayat to allot any land available at the panchayat’s disposal.<br /><br />The third resolution of having a power sub-station at Colva was also accepted, though a lady gram sabha member tried to belittle the need of such a substation, saying that such sub-station would be of no use until and unless, the panchayat knows how much electricity (power) is needed for the entire state and Colva in particular. Her objections were however overruled and the resolution was adopted, so that Colva has its own power sub-station, as is the case in Majorda and other coastal areas.<br /><br />A gram sabha member named Jack, who was the former panchayat representative, wanted information on how the BPL allotments are made, and how much revenue the panchayat earns on sopo tax, and also wanted to know what steps the panchayat has taken to save some of the century old residences which are situated on the beach side, as these are said to be under the CRZ scanner.<br /><br />Garbage issue was also discussed at length and the chairperson, Mr <br />Anthony Fernandes was heard telling that whatever needs to be done will be done in this respect, adding that the matter is now before the High Court and a discussion was not encouraged as the matter <br />is sub judice.<br />http://www.navhindtimes.in/news/goa-news/5403-colva-adopts-3-public-interest-resolutions<br /> <br /> <br />- Goa-world.com Team adds:<br />Alexandre Menino Fernandes is a shining example of how you can do community work while at home as well as abroad. His love for Colva as a son of the soil speaks volumes about him, not unlike others who retire peacefully in their balcony or migrate to the West..... While in Kuwait, Alexandre, together with Tome Gracias and Mario Rebello, has done a lot of spade work to re-register the Goan Welfare Society-Kuwait and has assured his full cooperation with GWS managing committee, of which he was the Treasurer. Keep up the good work and God bless. <br />Is the Goa NRI Commissioner and the Director for NRI Affairs taking note?<br />- Gaspar Almeida.<br /><br />Photo by: Rewon Gomes<br />www.goa-world.comGoa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426802627759448354.post-75080801019153323172009-11-20T05:32:00.001-08:002009-11-20T05:42:00.495-08:00Lament for Goenkarponn<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU4wviiBb_kH4V7uqQHvI-xW3eU1OZIeW_3cBOQ8mtuhpqNBhKmJE52Ud6B20tqsWfE1aTDMMvmib7Jq1VolUaNhtpv7Y4lS4pNrK20HpRVQ6-Pjca25TF-7VJQoD-97mPdBv6XavXQpc/s1600/goa.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU4wviiBb_kH4V7uqQHvI-xW3eU1OZIeW_3cBOQ8mtuhpqNBhKmJE52Ud6B20tqsWfE1aTDMMvmib7Jq1VolUaNhtpv7Y4lS4pNrK20HpRVQ6-Pjca25TF-7VJQoD-97mPdBv6XavXQpc/s400/goa.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406180501476194994" /></a><br />Lament for Goenkarponn<br /><br />Goa is known for its natural beauty and cultural heritage worldwide. But there was also another quality of a Goan which was known all over the world. It is ‘Goenkarponn’ – in other words, ‘humanity’.<br />In olden times, if a person was in need of help, all the people of the village used to come to his aid. If a person had a fall on the road or anywhere else, Goans used to come immediately and lift him up. But today, in most of the cases, the situation has become such that if a person falls, Goans will not come to his aid. Some will stand and silently laugh, but won’t care to give a helping hand. <br />At least 70 per cent of the Goan people have lost their Goenkarponn. The concept and value of a Good Samaritan is diminishing day by day.<br /><br />Lasdun D’Souza, Nachinola<br />(Herald)Goa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426802627759448354.post-52262670357792523822009-11-17T20:48:00.001-08:002009-11-17T20:56:24.266-08:00Feast of Our Lady of RosaryDear Parishioners of Navelim,<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXD5Q-OxUedcClQhOHX_Ziffw76Vhz9sk2rf-ZrtqkLObh4yCf4mffWtY57WKXmaIFECCc_7iouTS8aR00zvTLHa6MPThxsYhEslY7W2itzO6Wz0d3-WwZ8R-fij4BmrwCXlGHsz_SxTA/s1600/Picture%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXD5Q-OxUedcClQhOHX_Ziffw76Vhz9sk2rf-ZrtqkLObh4yCf4mffWtY57WKXmaIFECCc_7iouTS8aR00zvTLHa6MPThxsYhEslY7W2itzO6Wz0d3-WwZ8R-fij4BmrwCXlGHsz_SxTA/s400/Picture%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405301390220981330" /></a><br />Wishing you all a very happy feast of our Lady of Rosary,<br /><br />With prayerfull wishes,<br /><br />Brazil Diniz<br />(Navelim/Kuwait)<br />antonio at tii.com<br /><br /><br />Every year, Our Lady of Rosary feast is celebrated in Goa on the 3rd<br />Wednesday of November.<br /><br />:::NAVELIM CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF ROSARY:::<br />_ <br />According to legend, the Navelim church was built in mud similar to the<br />other churches in Salcete Taluka, between the year 1594 to 1598. The<br />builders were Jesuits and it was financed by the villagers. <br />The first parish priest of Navelim Church was a French Jesuit named Fr. John<br />Sena. (Mitras Lusitanas no Oriente).<br />As time passed, the church became small for the growing population. Later on<br /> it was reconstructed with laterite stones on a larger scale. The<br />reconstruction was apparently financed by a local merchant "Barreto" who was<br />saved from bankruptcy through the intercession of Our Lady of the Rosary. He<br />financed the entire reconstruction, not only of the church but he also<br />renewed the statue of our Lady of Rosary. <br /><br />:::NAVELIM FEAST:::<br /> <br />The celebration of the feast of Our Lady of Rosary begins every third<br />Wednesday in November. This devotion of Our Lady comprises of an extensive<br />celebration.<br /><br />:::NAVELIM FAIR:::<br /><br />According to legend, in earliest times, this fair consisted mainly of three<br />or four sheds and lasted only for a day.<br />DR. FRANCISCO SALVADOR GOMES, father of Dr. Francisco Luis Gomes, who was<br />the administrator of Salcete, encouraged some of the owners of the sheds to<br />extend the fair for three days. This was done, and the fair gained in<br />prominence. Today it is one of the most popular fairs in Goa.<br /><br />:::LANDMARKS:::<br /><br />Navelim is rapidly expanding to become Goa's fastest growing villages. Some<br />of Navelim's famous landmarks include the Margao Central Railway Station and<br />the infamous Sky Bus.<br /><br />http://www.goa-world.com/goa/churchdirectory/Goa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426802627759448354.post-54489500615114412532009-11-17T04:15:00.000-08:002009-11-17T04:23:12.681-08:00Anjuna International Group lift Goan Community of Oman Cup<strong>Anjuna International Group lift Goan Community of Oman Cup</strong><br /><br /><br /><br />Team AIG (Anjuna International Group) emerged the proud winners of the GCO Football Tournament organized by the Goan Community of Oman on 13th November 2009, edging out Saligao Sporting in an exciting final played at the Oman Club grounds, Al Khuwair.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiju-LEl1V0Emq5MgtV4H9B6B9pl8V8acY3zktaEO-8Xn3swV8zsaSAVqh_yAQ-N0jX1_1sRELFlDqh_tvH5ifQDBH-H9WUAUaNLnHOSyZlB8R2MtkVh5RvEEprucOLQy94WiOnebsagAY/s1600/GCO1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiju-LEl1V0Emq5MgtV4H9B6B9pl8V8acY3zktaEO-8Xn3swV8zsaSAVqh_yAQ-N0jX1_1sRELFlDqh_tvH5ifQDBH-H9WUAUaNLnHOSyZlB8R2MtkVh5RvEEprucOLQy94WiOnebsagAY/s400/GCO1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405045809776467554" /></a><br />The tournament opened with a colourful march past by all the participating teams.

The band “Cross Connections” kept the crowd in a dancing mood with great music during the evening break. <br /><br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5hr9P_8k8wXzQ_ScE4hmI5OAVgtZ50kHY4aYv1akqScr6QWcIhBJJmmP52-B3szea4okiqAlCVNb4bKzgVmZNdfd3ruXfMJgJaEgXV2nN-gxFCLY-RZTEG3tA_z0E09eC9oVJL7uQ_Dg/s1600/GCO3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5hr9P_8k8wXzQ_ScE4hmI5OAVgtZ50kHY4aYv1akqScr6QWcIhBJJmmP52-B3szea4okiqAlCVNb4bKzgVmZNdfd3ruXfMJgJaEgXV2nN-gxFCLY-RZTEG3tA_z0E09eC9oVJL7uQ_Dg/s400/GCO3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405046114429677218" /></a><br />The finals was a see-saw battle between AIG and Saligao, with both teams exhibiting great soccer with Noel Fernandes as the referee.
