E D I T O R I A L
Goa-World Team is proud to present the IX volume - Year
2 of the Gulf
Goans Mailing List Weekend Post Newsletter.
No doubt to publish a weekly newsletter for the benefit
of the Goans
in the region and elsewhere, requires support
& cooperation and our
team members spread throughout the GCC countries
as well as in other
Middle East countries do lend us their hand and contribute
in making
it a success!
We would like to go on record as well as give
out our little secret
that the coordinated efforts of our Team members are only
through the
internet and the telephone facility. Even in Kuwait,
Goa-World Team,
since starting with the newsletter, way back in August
'98, have not
physically met at any time (touch wood) although the principal
"team"
is based in Kuwait.We are,indeed, thankful to the technological
marvel
of the communications' revolution! The sole purpose to
stress on this
point is that we, Goans, can achieve a lot of things for
our common &
profound benefit, with the sole objective of determination!
As per the comments received from the Goans residing in Kuwait
as well
as those afar as the Bahamas and Norway, Goa-World Team have
shown the
right path to keeping the Goan community informed, without harming
the
personal dignity & reputation of fellow-Goans amongst
us, after years
or should be say decades of mud-slinging and name
calling! Towards
this end, our colleague, Ghtmler C. Almeida,
familiar with the Goan
community affairs & personalities in Kuwait, does a bit of
"cleansing"
and "moderating" the articles without distorting the "image","content"
and the writer's "unique individual writing style" as well as
personally investigating! So far this approach has not
entertained any
rebuttals and repraisals for which we thank the Almighty!
Due to ever-increasing cost of maintaining a
dedicated mailing list
as well as the Goa-World website, we shall in the coming
months, look
towards some sort of sponsorship -- by way of paid
advertisements as
well as classifieds for a nominal fee. We would like
to solicit your
support and cooperation towards this end!
We take this opportunity to thank all those who have subscribed
on our
mailing list which is growing by an average
score per week. We also
thank all those who have contributed and supported
us tremendously.
We also thank all the Goan and Indian associations / clubs/societies/
federations/forums/organizations/newspapers & news agencies
as well as
individuals in Kuwait, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar,
Oman, Bahrain and
Saudi Arabia, and from other countries who
have constantly kept us
updated on the latest happenings and events!
In a very special way,
we thank Frederick Noronha, Joel D'Souza, GoaNet, and Marlon
Menezes.

GoaNow - New web-magazine launched:
Journalists in Goa have taken the initiative to launch
a new web-magazine
of their own. It's called GoaNow.
(Even though my own name figures prominently in the credits,
it was persons
like Joel D'Souza and Alexyz Fernandes and many supportive others who
played
a key role in making this venture a reality. My own role was minimal...
just
giving moral support and encouragement at times of uncertainity.......
and I
promise not to miss the deadline the next time round.)
Such ventures, IMHO, have much potential.
Journalists can now go about creating space for themselves, and get
a chance
to tell their story without complaining of
proprietorial or editorial
interference.
Our plan is to have an editorial collective to run
the Internet magazine.
It's a low-cost effort, and we're thankful
to GoaCom for the support in
making this possible. So far, the main "investment" involved
is the actual
work of journalists and non-journalists who have put up this site.
To make
this a self-sustaining venture, we plan to seek tiny
individual-sponsorships, that will pay for the expenses involved
and also
ensure autonomy for venture. (Big sponsorships could spell a
loss of
autonomy again!)
Please do visit our site.

C.ALVARES PASSES AWAY:
Well known Konkani theatre personality, Celestino Santana Francisco
Alvares
(popularly known C. Alvares) passed away at Mumbai on 28-02-1999
following
a prolonged illness. Born on 1-8-1924 C. Alvares,
hailing from Saligao,
Bardez, will be long remembered for
his dedication and service of the
Konkani (be it tiatrs, songs - duets of which he was famous for -as
well as
films - in which he acted on premier roles) during the centuary old
history
of Konkani theatre.
A handsome, evergreen hero, with a career spanning half a centuary,
he made
his mark in playwriting, acting, singing, direction & promoting
new talents
to the Konkani stage. He wrote over 100 tiatrs and acted in
Konkani films
including "Amchem Noxib", "Nirmonn", "Mhoji Ghorkarn", "Bhuirantlo
Munis",
and "Uddta to Buddta". For "Nirmonn", he received
the 'Man of the Year'
award at the hands of late Mrs. Indira Gandhi for his
versatile acting.
He was honoured at the 19th All India Konkani Parishad
at Margoa, Goa,
followed by Goa Konkani / Kala Academy encomiums
during the centenary
celebrations of tiatr.
- Goa-World Team expresses its deep condolences
to the family of late
C. Alvares, Saligaokars, and to the Konkani lovers worldwide.

ON GOA'S POLITICAL SCENARIO .....
B I T S A N D P I E C E S....
- The State Chief Election Commissioner has decided that the Goa Assembly
polls will be held on May 29. However the date has to be approved
by the
Chief Election Commissioner. (WE)
- DEFICIT BUDGET FOR GOA: Due to President's rule in Goa, Union Finance
Minister Yeshwant Sinha presented Goa's annual budget for 1999-2000
in
the Lok Sabha on March 4, 1999. Preferring to wait for an elected Govt.
to raise resources to cover up the deficit, no additional
taxes have
been proposed in overall Rs. 13.14 crore deficit budget.
The revenue expenditure is projected to increased
by 16.8 per cent
to Rs. 1335.87 crore compared to Rs.1143.38 crore
during the current
financial year.
- A public debate on power held in Panjim on March 3 culminated
into a
resolution that a power corporation should
be established to manage
the affairs of the power sector in Goa and that the State
requires a
professionally managed power corporation without political
inference.
- A group of freedom fighters plan to spearhead
a public initiative
against the politics of defection, opportunism
and corruption. The
freedom fighters propose to launch a campaign of
mass contacts with
voters all over Goa, to defeat those candidates
and leaders who are
known for wrong doing in the past, irrespective of their presumed
high
stature of party affiliation.
- PREFERS GALLOWS TO CONGRESS: Former C.M. Dr. Wilfred de Souza said
in
Panjim, Goa on March 5, 1999 that he could be sent to the gallows if
he
merges his Goa Rajiv Congress party into the Congress. (NT)
(Courtesy: Jeol D'Souza)
GOA-WORLD'S EDITORIAL TAIL PIECE....
... hope others follow suit (...to the gallows, of course) on their
own
initiative like the Saligao MLA!
Let's have more such remarks /comments .... for our weekly input on
the
"JOKES" column! It's indeed a joke to have our "politicians"
read our
minds for us!

GOANS INTERNATIONAL ' Jamboori 2000 '
(Report by "Damodar
Mauzo" <dymauzo@bom2.vsnl.net.in>)
At a meeting with the Goans International activist, Rene Barreto, we
talked
over the lunch. Adv. Uday Bhembre and Mr. Felicio Cardozo, both veterans
of
Konkani movement and highly respected figures of Goa joined the discussions.
Rene Barreto who sounded very optimistic about
the Goans International
Jamboori 2000 which would mark the onset of the new millenium
for Goans -
at home, away from home & abroad. Rene made one thing very
clear - it will
not be merely a tourist event. Goans abroad would prefer an interaction
with
the Goan people and Goan culture, and Rene was yet to crystalize
his ideas
of the event and he would prefer to do so after talking
to and consulting
the people in the fields of art, culture and literature. Rene
looked to be
an open minded man of integrity we therefore had no hesitation in extending
him our cooperation.
Mr. Uday Bhembre is the Chairman of the Government body "Konkani
Academy"
and also of a Trust called ASMITAI PRATISTHAN
which literally means 'a
trust for promoting the identity'.
Felicio Cardozo and the writer of this report are
the founder trustees.
Mr. Felicio Cardozo is a veteran Freedom Fighter, and a Journalist,
who is
presently associated with GULAB, a monthly Konkani
magazine edited and
published by Fr. Freddy D'costa.
He is also an executive member of the Sahitya Akademi, a National
Body of
Letters.
The talks were fruitful. We have extended our help in getting a few
things
organized i. e. those within our domain. As I belong to the literary
field,
I suggested that an exhibition of books written by Goans can be arranged
or
a stall can be put up at the venue which most likely
be Kala Akademi in
Panaji. I also suggested that KHELLs, a traditional form of street-plays,
can be organized which will also serve as an impetus to revive
this dying
form of performing art. Rene seems to have liked the idea.
I hope this
materialises. Another suggestion was to bring out
an audio cassette to
teach the basic Konkani to English speakers. This will
help the tourists
as well as to those Goans who have lost touch with this Language.
This, if done, should be released prior to the event, we felt.
Mr. Bhembre eloquently argued that Goans can retain their identity
only
through Konkani. If the language of the common people is
not preserved
and promoted in the State we will be aliens in our
own land, he said.
The Goans International should also extend their support in the cause
of
promotion of Konkani.
Mr. Felicio Cardozo, who has served as a secondary teacher in
Navelim said
that script is no more a barrier to any one community now that the
students
of all the communities in Goa are equidistance
from the nagari script.
We also acquainted Rene about the ongoing
electronic project entitled
'Development of Corpora of Texts of Konkani Language
in Machine Readable
Form'. The project will be completed by the end of March '99.
The ultimate
goal of the project, which is also run in other Indian
languages, is to
translate a text from one language into the other.
The Goans International Jamboori 2000, if stands for Goan Unity -
as Rene
puts it - then most of the progressive minded people of
Goa will love to
identify with the event. (Coutesy: GOANET)
- Goa-World Team and Editorial Board solicits the cooperation
of all Goans
to join hands with Goans International in the promotion
and participation
in the event.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ON ASMITAI PRATISTHAN (GOA):
ASMITAI PRATISTHAN - which literally means 'a Trust for
promoting the
Identity' aims and objectives of the Trust are to preserve
and promote
the language, art and culture of Goa. The Trust has published
8 books
in Konkani." The trust has also produced a Documentary
telefilm 'Konkani Bhashecho Itihas' (the History of Konkani
Language).

but reasonable acknowledgement to the Goa-World website
is solicited in
return!
Due to technical problem, we were unable to publish the weekly newsletter
last week! (This lapse has taken place - after a gap of 7 months
- first
time, since we commenced sending this free weekly Newsletter).
Thank you for the 80 plus emails received from our subscribers
checking
about the subject newsletter. We appreciate the feedback,
and interest
in the Goan community affairs, and but regretfully, express our inability
to reply to you individually at this time.
Classified advertisements of personal nature as well as those
promoting
Goan entrepreneurs, however small they may be are also published
by us,
free of charge - for the time being. (Please ensure that your complete
name,
telephone, email and other contact details are given).
We thank all who have contributed towards this issue.
All comments, remarks and suggestions welcomed towards the betterment
of
this Newletter! That's it for this issue! Take care, adieus!
