Houston, Texas July 5 - 7, 2002
ear Friends:
Ware pleased to welcome you to Houston — the city of warmth, friendship and
hospitality; and to the 6th biannual Goan Convention, 2002. We are appreciative of
the Goan Organization of America for making this exquisite and joyous tradition
possible, and we thank the pioneers who initiated it.
The Goan Convention has been providing us with an excellent and efficacious forum
to make our biannual pilgrimage to that quintessential notion of a place called Goa,
where we can fulfill our angst and yearnings (the Portuguese have a better word for
it, they call the feeling asaudades"- the presence of the absence) for which we have
been longingly awaiting for the past two endless years,
This is your convention and each of you is special and important to us. The 2002
convention, like our previous ones, has only been possible because of your goodwill
and unstinted moral and pecuniary support — the very foundation of our success,
The organizing committee has put together an impressive entertainment program and
will serve the delectable and scrumptious Goan cuisine to satisfy your ever-discerning
tastes. The members of the organizing committee are looking forward to serving you
and to making your stay happy and comfortable. To help acquaint you with
Houston, we have put together a package of information that we hope you will find
helpful. Please feel free to contact any committee member if you need any
assistance. All of us hope that you will feel at home and that you find much to enjoy
and appreciate in Houston,
As the magic of this convention descends upon us, we hope you will be able to
commune and connect, reminisce fondly about Goa and things Goan, renew old
friendships and make new ones, and reconnect and rejuvenate. This convention gives
us a chance to recharge ourselves and reset our inner Goan compass until the next
convention in 2004.
Borem Goem!!

Dear Dr. Sardesai,
This is in reference to your invitation for the function scheduled on 4th, 5th and
6th July, 2002 in U.S.A. to which I have conceded to be the Chief Guest. However,
in the meantime, there were unscheduled Assembly Elections in the month of May
and the full fledge Budget Session of the Assembly is likely to commence from 8th
July, 2002. But for the same it would have been a pleasure to be in company with
GOANS. I regret my inability to attend the said function.
I take this opportunity to wish the function a grand success.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,

gear Goencarano:
'Fe, the Goencar and Goenkanni of Houston are delighted to host this year's biannual
convention of Goan Organization in America on 5th, 6th and 7th July, 2002. We are
honored to continue this joyous tradition, and are looking forward to a gala time meeting
with you and entertaining you here in Houston. You are about to witness a veritable ball, a
most memorable Goan audiovisual and gastronomic extravaganza.
As with all the past gatherings of this kind, the Houston convention is an opportunity to join
with other Goans to pay homage to our roots, to celebrate our culture, to make new
friendships and renew old ones, to share our memories and dreams, and to carry on a
wonderful tradition. We have striven to create for you a simulated atmosphere in Houston
rivaling Goa in temper as well as temperature.
Goan hospitality is legendary, which along with khare bangade, saki sungta and dhondantleo
ambled, we have found a way to smuggle into Houston. So please be prepared for three
long days of fiesta, Goan style in Texas-sized portions. Our gregarious Goenkanni of
Houston, Aruna, Ashwini, Bharati, Kawita, Mrudula, Rena, Roopa, Seema and Smita are
going to welcome you and offer you a taste of Texan Goan hospitality. Our organizers,
whipped into action by Ulhasbab and Ranjanbab, have gathered all the ingredients to serve
up the most delectable Goan bash you will ever be part of. Sizzling socials featuring talented
homegrown amateurs and celebrated seasoned professionals, and sumptuous spreads of
Goan delicacies lie in store for you. Hours of gossip and wholesome fun and frolic await
you. So please make the most of this opportunity to commune and connect with our inner
Goan self. This experience my dear Goencarano promises to be sublime.
I am happy to present before you this souvenir to commemorate this boisterous convention.
A lot of people have contributed to make this publication what it has turned out to be.
Enumerating all their names and properly thanking each of them would fill another souvenir
of this size. So I hope you will forgive me if I lump them all together, and thank them en
masse. They are the distinguished and brilliant writers and poets from Goa and the U. S.,
the generous donors of advertisements and anonymous gifts, contributors of photographs
and previously published poems, the outstation members of G. O. A. who have provided
help and advice, and the members of the Houston convention organizing committee.
I hope you find this souvenir useful and enjoyable. But above all I hope you find it
irresistible to immerse yourselves thoroughly in our creation of Goan bliss in Houston.
Best Regards,
Santosh A. Helekar

Mohammed
One of the busiest singers in India today, Mohammed Aslam has performed with
Yesudas, S. Balasubramanyam, Abhijit, Udit Narayan, Bappi Lahari and Chitra. He
regularly performs in the States, Indonesia, Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Australia. He is a
regular playback singer in Telagu and Malyalam films. His voice brings back
memories of golden years of Rafi. He also can sing in the voice of other artists such as
Abhitabh Bachhan, Saigal, C.H.Atma and others. He has five CDs and eight tapes to
his credit.
kAndliga co

If one were to select a singer with a perfect tune, intonation and the all-important
ability to evoke and transmit intense and diverse feelings, it would certainly be
Sandhya Rao. Whether it is light classical or light music, it is again Sandhya Rao who
sings them all equal elan.
She has the benefit of extensive training in both Hindustani music and under such
luminaries as singer-composer Mohinderjit Singh, and Pt. Feroz Dastur. Sandhya has
made quick strides in gazals and bhajans under the tutelage of Mohinderjit Singh.
Naushad Ali, Hridaynath Mangeshkar and Raj Kapoor adjudged her the best female
playback singer in 1978 at the third Film Sangeet Sammelan of Sur-Singar Samsad
from all over the country.
In 1991 the Prime Minister and Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee accorded National Status
for her song Sadbhavana recommended by Naushad Ali. It was composed by her
guru Shri Mohinderjit Singh.
She is an AIR artist and had appeared on Doordarshan programmes several times.
Sandhya was honored by Swarabhilasha, a pioneer music center at Kanpur, for her
rendering of the title song of CBS's "Khumaar" album of gazals so liltingly in 1986.
She had her cassette of ten utterly devotional Marathi abhangs, composed by the
13
famed Marathi film music director Anil Mobile, marketed by Oriental Records and
entitled "Pandharicha Mahinia"
Sandhya has a voice whose appeal is instant and straight to the heart, a voice that is at
once mellifluous and expressive, and she renders even light music with such rich,
open, ringing voice, which is so arresting. Added to that over the years, her voice has
had greater depth and range.
In 1997- 98 she co-produced along with United Television and sang the Meerabai
bhajans in the historical serial Meerabai, which was telecast on Doordarshan. She has
also sung for many other serials and telefilms. She has also sung in various cassettes
along with Suresh Wadkar and Kavita Krishnamurthy.
Sandhya has recorded cassettes in pure classical music, gazals and bhajans in Marathi
and Hindi for music companies like Music India, CBS and Tips.
Ritika badakm
Ritika Badakere is 15 yrs old and a promising singer. She inherited this art from her
mother Sandhya Rao (Badakere). She started singing at the age of 4. She is being
trained by Shri Mohinderjit Singh. She recorded her first song at the age of 7 for the
TV serial "Meerabai", and was acclaimed as the youngest playback singer. She has also
performed on Star TV for the show "kya masti kya dhoom". She has always bagged
awards in interschool music competitions conducted by Suresh Wadkar's music
academy. She has recently recorded a Sal bhajan, which was included in the cassette
in which singers like Suresh Wadkar and Kavita Krishnamurthy have sung such
hhajans. Along with her talent, she has also been doing well in her academics for
which she has won the "Best student of the year" award.

Rene Barreto
the grand occasion of the Goan Convention to be held in Houston, we join all
those who will attend in spirit and send our best wishes for a successful event. As
you celebrate Goan culture, I would like to inform you of our third annual
celebration of GOADAY which will be held this year during the weekend of August
17, 18, 2002.
On GOADAY we remember 1992, when the two Houses of the Indian Parliament
unanimously voted and approved an amendment to include our mother tongue
Konkani in the eighth schedule of the Constitution of India, thus according it national
status. It is also a day where Goans worldwide join in SOLIDARITY to celebrate
being a GOAN!
This year on GOADAY thousands of Goans will remind themselves that we need to
work to preserve our Goan culture, music, history, language, cuisine, and art for our
children and the non-Goan community. Just as we have learnt and improved from
non-Goans, they too can learn from us Whether they are European, American,
Japanese, African etc. We have a lot to offer the world and should not be ashamed or
shy away from our own resplendent culture. We are as equal and adept as any other
people, and we should be proud to demonstrate that pride in our actions.
Life has been very good for some of us, and we should count our blessings and thank
God for it. Let us try and make our GOAN World a better place for the
underprivileged and not as fortunate to experience our style of living or material
happiness. We can accomplish this by genuinely sharing our bounty & blessings.
Let GOADAY be a beacon of light, which will be our motivation or driving force
throughout the year and for the rest of our lives. Let us make this our motto,
"Proud To Be a Goan." and live up to that motto.
GOADAY this year is being celebrated in a BIGGER way than ever before. Goans in
London have followed the example of Goans in Portugal and Pakistan and formed an
Alliance of Goan associations. They are planning one of the biggest Goan events the
17
capital has ever seen. On this occasion, many community-related projects will be
launched and more emphasis will be put into community voluntary services all over
the GOAN WORLD.
Please email me at [email protected] for more information on GOADAY
and how you can celebrate this occasion in your community. Also, please visit
www.goasudharop.org which will carry more information on this important
celebration.
TOGETHER we can make a DIFFERENCE! Long live GOA!

development of Goa and the creation of various opportunities for Goans. It is not
merely a charitable organization, but a sustainable developmental organization. Prof.
Ranjan Sardessai and Prof. Santosh Helekar, among others, are on the Advisory

Sudharop for educational, charitable, environmental, cultural, and social justice
projects in Goa such as orphanages, computers in schools, environmental groups and
activists, battered women's shelter and other non-profits /NGOs in Goa.
Goals of the organization:
To promote the sustainable development of Goa and the advancement of
Goans, especially in the rural and village communities.
• To allow Goans to fully get involved in the development of their homeland.
• To create a Goan network for economic, social and cultural development that
would help Goans participate in community development projects and work
with Goan NGO's to support humanitarian and social welfare projects which
benefit Goans.
• To promote investment for the creation of job and business opportunities for
Goans, especially in the rural and village communities.
21
• To help found a corps of volunteers to work and contribute their talents for
the human and economic betterment of Goans.
• To support anti-corruption and sound public policies in the fields of
development, technology, education, health, transportation, and tourism in
Goa.
• To support Goans and others in their efforts to restore and preserve Goan
villages, the countryside and coastal areas of Goa which are ecologically
threatened.
• To support groups with special needs such as Goan women, children, village
and underprivileged groups of Goan society.
• To work for the promotion and preservation of the socio-cultural, historical,
and architectural heritage of Goans.
In addition, Goa Sudharop recognizes Goans who have contributed to the
development and betterment of Goa and Goans by presenting annual awards.
Annual report for 2001:
1. We continued to assist the Goan Computers School Project by sending free
computers to schools in Goa from the USA. Computers were installed in over 60
schools. See http: / /www.goasudharop.org/gscp/ . Various religious and nonreligious schools, private and public schools were the beneficiaries.
2. The first non-profit (NGO) database online was set-up for Goa. It lists non-profits
in Goa and their individual details for people to directly contact them and volunteer.
See http: / /www.goasudharop.org/gs ngo .htm.
3. The International Goan Health Project was started. See
http: / /www.goasudharop.org/ighp / . Medical supplies will be donated for Goa
from overseas. In addition, expat doctors and nurses will volunteer their time free
when they are in Goa on vacation and work with local health practitioners.
4. We have made annual awards to Goans and organizations who have contributed to
the development of Goa and Goans. The 2002 GOA SUDHAROP AWARDS were
presented to:
• Vijaydatta Lotlikar — for promoting the entrepreneurial spirit. A young
teacher who makes coconut shell handicrafts. More importantly he sees this
22
craft as a source of employment and conducts training classes to spread the
trade.

is one of Goa's frontline activists for Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkars vision of a just

parts of Goa.

In the works for 2002:
1. A project for high school dropout girls. The dropout rate is 40% in Goa and kids
need to have trade skills to be employed. There is a boys trade school already.
2. A consumer advocacy, rights, and information project. It will allow rural
communities, villages access to IT and computers and the internet.
3. A project which will allow handicrafts and local trades to flourish and sell their
wares and promote small-scale cottage industries on the internet.
Our overall focus is the creation of jobs in anything we do, and sustainable
development. In that sense our organization name is appropriate — GOA
SUDHAROP COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, INC. We are truly a developmental
organization, not just a charity organization. All of this is being done by volunteers,
we now have Goans in various countries getting involved. Our administrative costs
are less than 1%. 99%+ of donations go to projects and assistance.

Maya G. Sardesai
Earlier this year, I had the opportunity of spending six weeks in India, at which time I did a
little sight-seeing, visited with relatives, and spent time observing in hospitals. I suspect my
birth and upbringing in Canada, tempered with the influence of my parents' Indian heritage
gives me a distinctive perspective. This was my sixth visit to India.
Some General Observations
Ye
alth-care in India, as best as I can discern from my month's stay in Mumbai and
two-weeks in Goa has some interesting differences from our system here in Canada.
The challenges of administering health care in India are in many ways different from
those we face here. To put things in perspective, a city like Mumbai (formerly
known as Bombay) has half the population of Canada in an area less than 500 square
kilometres1 ' 2. One of the first things you notice in a country like India is its
dichotomy; where at times the poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich can be
separated by only a fence line, or at times just a hedge, with only the air travelling
between them. As a result, the health care needs of the inhabitants can be very
divergent, as some are in need of the very basics of sanitation, while others
contemplate elective and experimental therapies, delivered through the use of stateof-the-art equipment.
In some respects, patients themselves have a greater degree of responsibility with
respect to their health care. For example a patient will be responsible for his or her
own medical chart, complete with test results, physician notes, and such. A
physician would order diagnostic tests, and it would be the patient's responsibility to
schedule them, collect the results and return to the ordering physician. In this way,
the patients generally seems to have more ownership and interest in the outcome of
the physician-patient interaction. The fiscal situation may also have been a factor,
since most patients pay for out-of-pocket for many of the services.
27
The degree to which families of patients are involved in management and care of
medical conditions was also remarkable. It was rare to see patients come in for
appointments by themselves, and not uncommon to find a relative or two residing in
hospital during a patient's stay and providing day-to-day care, e.g. dressing changes,
that might otherwise have heen carried out by nurses. In larger private hospitals, it is
therefore not uncommon to find that provision is made for a patient's attendant to
stay in the hospital near the patient, at all times, I had a general sense that this family
involvement had a positive effect on patient compliance and adherence, although I
have only anecdotal evidence for this.
Another major difference was in the attitude of physicians. Despite the prevalence of
"doctor-shopping" in this privatized system, there was a paradoxical level of
brashness in some of the consultants I ohserved. It was a stark contrast to the general
politeness and friendliness that prevails in our Canadian system. Yet the patients did
not seem to mind; indeed that attitude was almost expected. The general
assumption seemed to be that if a consultant was less than polite, it was because he or
she was so good that they could afford to be, and that the patient should feel
fortunate to be privy to their services. To some extent this is true: many of these
consultants are good, if only because of the sheer competition in the profession in the
country, and because one has to be quite tough to survive. However, medicine in
other countries including Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, is also
challenging (albeit in different ways) and yet I feel a different attitude is more
commonly perceived.
A Private Hospital in Mumbai
My two weeks in the P.11 Hinduja National Hospital and Medical Research Centre
gave me some interesting insights into private health care in India. The Hinduja is a
state-of-the-art facility situated on a major thoroughfare in the city of Mumbai. It
stands an impressive sixteen storeys tall, each with four wings, and has a capacity of
330 beds as well as diagnostic facilities and supporting ancillary services 3, The entire
hospital was centrally air conditioned (a virtual necessity with Mumbai weather), and
generally ran efficiently, hence making for a pleasant working environment.
Depending on a patient's financial situation, one of four types of accommodation
would be available, The "Deluxe Suite" consisted of two rooms, (one each for the
patient and patient's attendant) with telephone, radio and cable television facilities,
as well as an ensuite bath and pantry with a refrigerator. "Special Rooms" were
single rooms with attached bath, sofa-cum-bed, a telephone, radio, and cable
television facilities. A "Median A" room would have two patients sharing a room
with a common telephone and attached bath and a couch for each patient's relative.
28
A "Median B" room had two patients sharing a cubicle, couch for patient's relative,
with a common bathroom in the wing. Finally, the "Median Ward" had six to eight
patients in a wing, with a chair for each patient's relative and common bathroom in
the wing. Costs varied from nominal to several thousand rupees per night
(equivalent of several hundred dollars).
Much like in North America, in a facility of this breadth and size, certain things
became important. Firstly, with so many people in such a large facility,
communication is the key. I was impressed with the fluency with which most staff
could converse in several languages, the most common in Mumbai being English,
Hindi, and Marathi. Appropriate division of labour was the second major element.
Although this was not a teaching hospital, many consultants had junior house-staff
doing simple procedures, writing medical notes and prescriptions in what proves to
be good experience for them, and a time-saver for the consultant. The adaptability
of the staff (especially the nurses) was also admirable. In the Intensive Care Unit
(where I was based) with shift changes, the staff needed to get used to the different
styles of the physicians in charge. The technical systems were also put to good use in
such a facility. For example, the out-patient-clinic buzzer/light system was very
effective for an environment in which several clinics were running concurrently. I
was altogether pleasantly surprised and impressed with the efficiency with which such
a facility, which serves several thousands of patients of various segments of society
and in such an environment, could operate.
A Public Hospital in Mumbai
My two weeks at the S.K. Bandra Bhabha Hospital in Mumbai gave me a very
different picture of Indian health care. Here it is clear what money can buy: It
provides a patient with privacy, more time, extra attention, extra courtesy, and
additional sterility. However, the essentials are much the same. This was especially
the case in surgery. The procedures themselves were almost identical to those I bad
seen in Canada and elsewhere, and were performed competently, the staff bringing
with them a mammoth amount of experience. Technical equipment is available,
although not in quantities the private hospitals have, and potentially not of the same
quality. Sterile procedure was remarkably well preserved, despite the scarcity of
disposable equipment and relative abundance of autoclaved materials. Even latex
gloves were cleaned, sterilized, and re-used.
In the out-patient department (OPD), the differences between public and private
were even more pronounced. Unlike our typical one-room-per-patient setting here,
and in the private hospitals in Mumbai, the public hospital otolaryngology (ENT)
OPD consisted of a large (approximately five metres by five metres) room with two
29
large equipment tables at right angles, and an ENT house staff on either side (total of
four), each with a stool in front of them. The patients (and their families — often
several members) would line up behind the stools and each in turn sit down to be
questioned and examined in plain view of all their family, all the other patients
presently being examined, and all the people waiting in line. Each patient would be
seen for somewhere between 30 seconds and three minutes, and in this way, the
four-physician staff was able to see over 100 patients in a two to three-hour block of
time. It was remarkable. At the end of the clinic, a consultant would re-examine the
more equivocal cases, and do surgical assessments. And thus would end a typical
clinic.
The single greatest shortage appeared to be the human resource -- possibly due to
financial reasons, in terms of lack of salary funding. The house staff, with whom I
spent most of my time, (the consultants were fewer) were always on the go. I had
the general impression that the hospital was managing well, given its resource
limitations. Latency was determined by the slowest step in the management process,
which might have been the two-month wait for a diagnostic test (e.g. audiogram)
which was performed off-site. However, it was clear to me that additional resources
could certainly be of great benefit to a facility like this one.
A Hospital in Goa — Yet Another Different Impression
I will begin with a quick description of Goa. It is a small state on the west coast of
India, just south of Maharashtra (Mumbai's state) in which my parents were born and
raised. It is a beautiful place with glorious white, sandy beaches and palm trees, and
an abundance of coconuts, mangoes, and cashews. Its small size by Indian standards
(population of 1.2 million) and its unique Portuguese heritage lend it a warm,
pleasant small-town feeling4. This is the context in which I found the hospital in
which I observed.
The Manipal Goa Cancer and General Hospital is a growing 150 bed hospital that is
also affiliated with a local medical school'. Although it is a private hospital with
state-of-the-art equipment and almost every medical and surgical service (cardiac
surgery is generally referred elsewhere) the most striking difference I noted between
this and the hospitals in Mumbai was on account of its size and slightly less urban
nature. Much as I found in some smaller hospitals in Canada (in Collingwood,
Ontario and Burlington, Ontario), smaller can in fact be better. From a health
professional's stand point, one can get to know one's colleagues and their styles, and
this makes for improved communication, role definition, and hence efficient
operation. In a smaller institution, it is easier to effect changes, (in policy for
example), since there are fewer people to reach, and altogether less red tape. In a
30
smaller city it is more important, however, to have good reputation — preferably to
be considered the best -- since word travels fast. And yet, this small-world
environment helps in building trust in the doctor-patient relationship, and I suspect is
especially helpful in terms of patient adherence. Communication skills are key, in this
environment as much as in any other, and additional understanding and empathising
skills are necessary, as many patients also happen to be friends.
Many of the first generation North American Goans who came to this continent during the 1960s and
1970s, have children who were born and brought up in the North American environment. As parents, it
has been our earnest desire that our children should strive to accept the best this society has to offer, while at
the same time retain our Goan tradition and Indian values. However, our concerns and worries are often
focused on the worst case scenario whereby it might be just the opposite.
All of us have been trying our best to assist in accomplishing our objectives by taking our children to Goa as
often as possible, and give them full exposure to the Indian society. My experience, so far, has been that we
have not always given our children the benefit of the doubt, or full credit they deserve, and recognize their
ability to discern the good from the bad, and accept the best the two societies and cultures have to offer.
When our daughter Maya visited Goa and Bombay two years ago, this time by herself; we asked her to file
reports and keep us informed of her experiences. The following report is a reflection of her perspective on
Heath care in India. It was published in the Queen's University Health sciences journal in 2001.

Some Final Comments on the Health-Care Recipients: The People
The true charm of India, in my estimation, is in its colour and in its humanity. When
you look at a regular city street in India (not just Mumbai), regardless of the time of
the day, you see people. In fact, you're very likely to see other living creatures of
various shapes, sizes, and dimensions as well. Whereas, at home, even in a city the
size of Calgary, the streets are virtually dead certain times of the day. I am not
counting the car or two that might whiz by; it is the ye I'm referring to. With people
come smiles, (and frowns) - but fundamentally, emotion. This is something that
technology and posters and flash can approximate, but not replace.

Ka was liberated from the Portuguese colonial rule on 19th December 1961, and it
became an integral part of the Sovereign Democratic India. The Portuguese had ruled
over Goa for about 450 years. As oppressive colonial masters they paid very scant
attention to the will and welfare of Goans. The educational scenario of Goa prior to
Liberation was dismal and disappointing.
There were few primary schools imparting education in the Portuguese language. In
Panaji, the capital of Goa, there was a Liceum, the equivalent of a higher secondary
school. A medical college and a pharmacy college were the only two institutions of
higher learning. Besides these Government institutions, there were many privately
managed primary schools imparting education in Marathi. There were few English
medium secondary schools managed by individuals and societies. After passing the
matriculation examination Goan students went to places outside Goa, viz. Belgaum,
Mumbai, Dharwar, Pune, etc., to pursue their college education, as there were no
institutions imparting higher education in Goa. Then dawned 19th December 1961, a
day which Goans were eagerly awaiting. The shackles of slavery and serfdom were
broken and Goa was ready to join the mainstream of India — with the dawn of
independence, democracy took the place of the fascist regime. Education being the
bedrock of democracy, the popularly elected government which came into existence
swung into action and gave top priority to education. Primary, secondary and higher
secondary schools were opened in every nook and corner of Goa. In course of time a
Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education was established. It will not
be an exaggeration to state that education has reached the doors of homes of all
students.
As education in Goa started making rapid strides, many other educational institutions
were started, viz. one primary teacher's training college, two secondary teacher's
training colleges, a State Institute of Education, a District Institute of Education and
34
Training, and a District Centre of English in order to improve the professional
competence of teachers. Educational authorities in Goa have realized that there is no
room for complacency. Continuous monitoring is a must. The results of this
monitoring can be seen in innovative inputs of these institutions.
Goa University, which is situated at the picturesque plateau of Talegaon is the apex
educational body and controls undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral education.
The ancient Indian dictum " Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya" i.e. "Lead me from darkness to
light" is enshrined in the university. Goa University is the crowning glory of Goa's
educational achievement.
There are a number of Arts, Science, Commerce colleges in Goa. The Goa Medical
College which is situated at Bambolim, and the hospitals attached to it have become
famous for their facilities, not only in Goa, but also in the neighbouring states. There
is now a well-equipped dental college in Goa. Besides, there is a college of Home
Science and a college of Nursing Education. Two colleges of Law prepare students to
become lawyers and other law-related professionals. Goa has two full-fledged
Engineering colleges. Technical education and computer education is given
paramount importance.
`Distance-Education' is becoming popular and many students who otherwise cannot
join regular educational institutions can avail themselves of the educational facilities
provided by Distance Education Centre. Mention must be made of Indira Gandhi
National Open University, which provides Distance Education.
Since tourism is a key industry in this Goa, the state is dotted with many hotels, and
they require personnel trained in catering. The Goa College of Catering at Porvorim
fulfills their need.
As regards the medium of instruction, primary education is imparted in Konkani,
which is the mother tongue of Goans, and also in Marathi, English and a few other
Indian languages. However, the medium of instruction from fifth standard onwards
in English.
On account of Goa government's giving emphasis to education, this state has become
one of the most literate states of India. Sound education has changed the mindset of
Goans. Social engineering has taken place. One also observes the process of vertical
social mobility taking place in Goa. A society that prior to Liberation had been
stagnant and decadent has blossomed into an enlightened entity.
35
Many Goans, after having received their education in Goa, have gone to foreign
countries, viz U.K, U.S.A. etc. They have pursed their studies there and have
excelled. The Goan diaspora by their pursuit of excellence and commitment to the
professions they have chosen have earned kudos, and they have done their country
proud.

'I cherish my motherland more than the heaven, thus proclaim our scriptures'

ere is nothing in the material world that can be a substitute for one's mother

`Take me to my motherland, Oh sea! My soul is in agony' - yelled Swatantryaveer
Vinayak Damodar Sawarkar through the verses of his poem composed while in exile
in U.K. while giving vent to his agony caused by the sheer distance and separation
from the motherland.
In the present times, there has been a demand for dual citizenship from people of
India origin settled in foreign countries. Is this not the earnest expression of the same
intense feelings of deeper attachment to the motherland besides other reasons also?
It is this instinctive attachment to the motherland that makes the emigrant to keep himself
interested in the social, cultural, economic and political developments taking place and
shaping the destiny of the country of his origin. This feeling, the instinct rather, is common to
all people of all races, creeds and persuasions all over the world It is the most noble and most
38
human of all the feelings that characterizes the humankind It is therefore but natural for
Goans, who have migrated to different countries all over the world to keep themselves abreast
of the developments in social, cultural, political spheres of Goa and offer intellectual and
material inputs for the development of the country of their origin.
The transition from Portuguese rule to self rule following the liberation of Goa in
1961 brought, in its wake, several attendant problems. Goans began experimenting
with the democratic system of governance for the first time ever. Different ideas,
right from the unconditional merger of Goa in the Maharashtra State to making Goa
full fledged state in the Indian Union went through the crucible of an opinion poll
and Goa finally emerged as a distinct political entity and was granted statehood on
May 30, 1987 which was the fulfillment of long cherished aspiration of Goans.
Goans elected their own governments in successive elections after the opinion poll
and began experimenting with the democratic system of governance. Soon they
realised that anti-social, anti-people forces were in firm control of the government by
sabotaging and eroding the foundation of the system while people at large were
increasingly growing restless, impatient, disgusted and alienated with the political
parties which ruled Goa and are ruling still. The general feeling is that these political
parties are nothing but gangs of unscrupulous, self seeker illiterates and semiliterate
and at times anti-social elements possessing high academic qualifications who are
intent to use people for their power games and have no desire to give good
governance to Goa nor address people's concerns. After all, good governance is so
essential for social, educational, economic development of the new state,
The very basis of our democracy is under threat in Goa. More than 500 bogus voters
in Taleigao constituency continue to be on the voters' list as a complaint filed with
documentary evidence by 'People's Movement for Civic Action' (PMCA), an NGO
based in Panaji - Goa, to investigate the fraud has been blocked on technical grounds.
While the complainant the general secretary of the non-governmental organisation,
Peolpe's Movement for Civic Action', Panaji-Goa, (PMCA) who had filed the
complaint, has demanded an enquiry to identify not only the bogus voters but also
the officials involved in the fraud,
Some of the voters had not even mentioned their surnames, nor had they given any
details about their parents or relatives or even their house numbers and yet the
registration officers, it appears, had enrolled them without verification.
39
The electoral records indicated that a few voters were staying in houses which were
non-existent. While in some cases the houses existed, but having a single occupant.
And yet additional names ranging from a dozen to three (36) were added as family
members. For instance in a house with only on occupant by name Santosh Shirodkar
you would find his family members with names such as Rajappa, Gundappa,
Basarappa, Mariamma etc, which is so strange indeed!
The complainant who had perused the electoral list consisting of 25,560 voters filed
objections to the inclusions of only 259 due to lack of time though he found over SOO
voters of dubious credentials. Moreover, filling form 7 under rule 13(2) of
Registration of Electors Rules, 1960 to object to the inclusion of each voter is a
cumbersome process,
However, a few days later, the officer concerned disposed off the objections filed by
the PMCA by an undated common order on the ground that any objection to a
voter's inclusion can be raised by a person whose name is included in the same roll
under rule 13(2)(b) of Registration of Electoral rules, 1960. The PMCA, the NGO
which raised objections is not a person whose name is included in the roll, the officer
ruled, while rejecting the objections under rule 17.
The situation is no different in other electoral constituencies and the entire process is
aimed at creation of favourable vote banks by sabotaging the system from within.
I have gi-ven the account of this case in some detail to show how the very foundation
on which the entire edifice of our democracy stands has been eroded due to our
indifference to the evil deeds of the manipulators of election process, the result being
that we are governed today by illiterate or semiliterate despots who treat the state as
their fiefdom and citizens as their slaves! Tyrants have sprouted at all levels and carry
on the business of corruption merrily. But we have not left things at that. Backed by
legal support and tenacity to pursue the case, the PMCA has taken up this task to take
the case to its logical end.
The inefficiency plaguing the public administration, the all pervading corruption, lack
of accountability are all eating into the vitals of the fabric of our nation.
Corruption in the affairs of the government and all walks of public life has become a
low risk-high profit business in our country today. In such a system, mediocrity and
dishonesty are rewarded and honesty and excellence are condemned. As a result,
brilliant professionals and talented people are leaving the country en masse. Goa is
40
thus very much in the mainstream of national life, "In my reckoning, five key players
exist in the landscape. They are 'Neta' (politician), ‘13abu' (bureaucrat), gala'
(businessman), 'Polo.' (NGO) and 'Dada' (criminal). If we succeed in breaking the
politician - bureaucrat - businessman nexus, we have won the battle", says N.Vithal,
Commissioner Central Vigilance Commission, New Delhi.
In such a situation, the ordinary low-abiding citizens find themselves completely
helpless and insecure. Lack of employment opportunities and lack of reward for hard
labour or intellectual pursuit and lack of future for their children are some of the
major problems tormenting the mind of the people while political parties are
perpetually engaged in their power games, duping the masses and postponing the
solutions of problems until they reach crisis level.
In this gloomy scenario what can a few well-educated, talented and creative people
do to influence the course of events and change the situation for hotter? This was the
main question which constantly tormented our mind.
First, we thought of forming a pressure group of citizens giving it the shape of a
popular organization, a non-government organization (NGO). Soon we found
through our friends who had some experience in such activities that this idea will not
serve our purpose entirely,
Some of us had earlier formed an organisation called Federation of Voters' Councils,
Goa. Through this NGO we are still implementing a programme of education of
voters. In our elections, more than issues of public interest, emotional appeals and
personality factors come into play. There is a rapid growth of political careerism, rise
of political families, public acknowledgment of hereditary succession to leadership
and all collide to push issues behind personalities,
Moreover, no election expresses the will of the electorate, or even the majority of
the electorate, voter turnout being unimpressive an even falling below 50 percent of
the voters in some places. It looks as though it is the non-voters who decide the fate
of the candidates making ridiculous the claim of 'people's mandate' or 'land slide
victory' by any winner, In some states, elections have little to do with fareness or
freedom. Bullets and fraud, not informed choice, determine the outcome,
41 •
In any case, electoral victory cannot be the defence or the popular sanction for a
person's individual will in the matter of governance. The sanction is only for policies
and programmes projected in the election campaigns.
Continuing political education of the people through the programmes undertaken by
the Federation of Voters' Councils, Goa have had some impact on them. People
have now become restless and at the same time more mature in their reactions,
There is a long way to go until the results are visible and palpable. A beginning in the
right direction has been made anyway. However, the question remains. What can an
armchair politician or citizen, who cannot lead masses, do? Is he of any use to the
present system of governance? Here is the answer:
Since the last 4-5 years, an analysis of the annual budget of the Panaji Municipality is
carried out by the Federation of Voters' Councils, Goa with the help of the head of
the department of economics of local commerce college and its findings are discussed
in public meetings. - The first such exercise was undertaken by the organization
years ago. One of the important findings, among many others, was that while the
number of new houses built in the city area was increasing year by year the amount
of revenue collected by the Municipality by way of house tax was declining! A
strange finding indeed! In the public meeting of the citizens this issue and many
others were hotly debated. The finding was an eye opener and generated interest
among the citizens in the affairs of the municipality, It provided an opportunity to the
students of economics of the commerce college to acquire a battlefield experience
and to see for themselves and to learn from the real life situations. This is what the
education is all about.
The exercise had its rewards. It has aroused interest of the passive middle class
people, burdened by the heavy taxes, in the affairs of the municipality. One can just
imagine what impact it would have on the people at large if similar exercise is carried
on in all municipalities and village panchayats of Goa. We are now campaigning to
spread the message to all corners of Goa by involving collegiate youth in this task. A
daunting task indeed! If democracy is the government of the people, for the people
and by the people, people have to participate in the decision-making-process and
influence collective decisions affecting them. Existing political parties are all averse
to this idea. It is in this area that the Goa Su-Raj Party wants to play a major role by
involving the people in the decision-making-process and to reshape our democracy
into a truly participatory democracy. The party intends to enlist the support of all
NGOs in this stupendous task,
42
Experience gained over the years has shown that NGOs have limitations in meeting
political challenges. They can be met only by political parties. This was the reason
why the need arose for the establishment of a new political party and Goa Su-Raj
Party was born. This party, we visualised, would certainly not be a carbon copy of
the existing parties but the one entirely different from them in every respect.
1 am sure a discerning Goan expatriate is now aroused and is curious to know what is
it that makes the Goa Su-Raj Party different from all existing parties. Well meaning
friends who have long experience in political activities confided to us that in our
country today to qualify as a politician one must have following credentials:
I Must have committed at least 2-3 murders without being touched by the long
arm of law.
2. Must have 5-6, 'First Information reports' FIR's lodged against him and the
police being unable to arrest him.
3. Must have swindled 2-3 commercial banks with success. Huge loans taken for
non-existing projects entered in the category of non-performing assets
(N.P.A.'s) and finally to be written off. It took a naive person like me almost
a decade to understand the real meaning and the significance of the term NPA
coined by the practitioners of white-collar crime.
4. A battalion of muscle men, hoodlums to fix opponents at will.
5. A shouting hrigade (for shouting from the top of their voices livanlal
zindabad, Motilal murdabad'), whenever need arises.
6. Two or three editors of newspapers, willing to be his cronies, who would
project this 'flea' as a great modern Mahatma after the Mahatma Gandhi.
With these requirements one can qualify to be a politician and float a new party and
set out to implement his political agenda.
Most of us, novices in the political activity, were unnerved and shocked at these
qualifications required for politicians in India today. None of us had any of these
qualifications nor had any intention of journeying along these lines for achieving
political goals. None of us also have ability to acquire any of these qualifications.
Humour apart, there is an element of truth in what they said as criminalisation of
politics and politicisation of crime is the reality of national political life today. Goa
Su-Raj Party has a different agenda. It aims at providing a clean and honest alternative
to the people. It is registered with the Election Commission of India. Its founders are
non-politicians. They have come froward because they love Goa, and because they
are concerned about its future. The do not aspire for positions of power. They have
debarred themselves from contesting elections to any public offices. The
Party's constitution has made applicahle the 'anti-defection' as well as the 'recall' and
`declaration of assets' clauses to its elected MLAs. It also debars defecting MLAs of
other parties from joining this party. Also, to bring in new talents, no person shall
serve for more than two consecutive terms as MLA. (Clause 30 to 41 are very
important and they address people's concerns). No other political party in India has
such provisions in its constitution. Therefore this party should find favour with all
well-meaning and thinking people wherever they are.
All those Goans who have been nourished by the Goan culture and ethos and are
proud of their Goan ancestry are welcome to offer their ideas, proposals, suggestions
to Goa Su-Raj Party so that a new course could be charted out for our journey
towards progress and development. We suggest them to go through the constitution
of the party in the website. Our fellow Indians who find that Goa Su-Raj Party is
opening a new chapter in the post-independence political history of India and has the
potential to influence the course of events to make our democracy more vibrant,
people- oriented should come forward to help us in whatever form they can. After
all, this is a nation-building task in which every citizen has a contrihution to make and
a role to play.

At this Choliarn Koxern (How is it going? - State of the Union) address I can say with
great pleasure and much pride that "Amchem Chaim Borem" (We are doing well).
Vice President Keni is not here because of the threat that we still face from the
terrorists of Agacaim (Goan village). We don't want them to know where be is. So
he is hiding in the sotto (cowshed) behind my house. First of all, I want to assure you
that I am all right. That fainting episode was simply my choking on a !ado() (ballshaped candy). I should have followed my grandmother's advice and let my wife feed
it to me. Somebody is feeding this speech to me right now. But I don't want to tell
you that because you will think I am stupid. Going back to my fainting episode, there
was no need to worry because my two cows were watching me when I fainted. They
could sense that I was all right. If they had sensed something was wrong, they would
have mooed loud enough to alert the Chief Ghaddi Loximon who lives in the house
next to mine.
I want to tell everybody that we have won our war with the terrorists in Agacaim.
The new President of Agacaim who is sitting on the freshly cowdunged spot in the
front of this maatov (canopy) there, is my friend. I have patted him on the back and
called him nice sounding names. He and his wives are good men. I have promised
him some of your money to build all his gotte (cowsheds) and houses that we
destroyed in our war against terrorism, But I have told him that he should promise to
give the building contracts to our gounde (bricklayers) and pay them the money I gave
him, so they can give me some of that money and help me get properly elected the
next time. He must also use his bullock carts and trucks to transport the imported
feni (Goan cashew fruit derived alcoholic beverage with strong smell) that our taverns
need from Cortalim (another Goan village).
But the war against terrorism has only started. It will take a long time. Terrorists are
everywhere. You have to be careful not to confuse them with tourists. Damn, these
words are confusing! All countries must get rid of their tourists - terrorists. But our
armed gang members will tell them whicb terrorists to get rid of. The chiefs of our
armed gangs tell me that those who can provide our taverns with feni or help us
import feni for our taverns at a cheap price are not terrorists. Those who don't listen
to us are terrorists. Rai, Amona and Curchorem (three different Goan villages) are
building weapons of mass destruction. We will smoke them out of their caves. We
will stand firm against them. We will catch them. And we will make them run.
Okay, scratch that. First we will stand firm, then smoke them out, then run and
finally catch. I am really happy I said it right the second time.
I am proud of our armed gang members. Tbey beat up all the tourorrists that come
to our land and all people who support them all over the world. They have done a
great job in Agacaim. I want to give them better arms. So I will give them a lot of
your money to buy new dandarre (bamboo sticks) and fators (rocks and stones) from
our mesth (carpenters) and manai (manual laborers) who will then give me some of
that money to get me properly elected the next time.
Now I have to tell you that I have appointed our Vodlo Bhot the chief of our backyard
security and defense. Our backyards are not safe. We have to protect out gotte and
coconuts from the terrorists. Terrorists are evil men. Some of their wives are evil
men too. But we have to be good to the wives because the terrorists mistreat them.
And we have to educate our children. That is the only way she can learn. Otherwise
48
we don't know if they or her is learning or not. One minute. Hey, Forsu (name of a
man) I cannot hear your prompting. Read loudly.
Finally, I have to say something about our economy. Our copitalist economy is in
recession. The members of the tavern and people at home do not get enough
copachem (euphemism for strong alcoholic drinks). We don't want to see the end of
copitalism as we know it. It won't be good for our economy because we will be
economically unsound. So I will give our taverns a tax cut. I will also do something
called deregulation. And wait till you hear about this. I will give them a retro tax
break. Did you get it? A retroactive tax break! Hey, Hey, I am smart! That means the
taverns will be able to be active in everybody's backyard. A tavern will have a tax
haven in everybody's backyard, a place that is protected by the Vodlo Bhot, the Chief
of Backyard Security who will report directly to me. Backyard
behind
retro?
Get it? Hey, Hey... I am smart!
With that I will end my address because it is time to stop and also because my time is
up. Thank God. Thank you. Ummm.... What else do I have to say? Prompter Forsu
is already tight (Goan slang for being drunk). Ah! Dev borem korum.

Look in the mirror, what do you see?
1 see an angel looking at me,
Why does that angel appear there?
This is a great miracle, she's everywhere'.
This angers with me not just in my heart
She's been with me always from the start
My angers part of my personality
A friend with freedom that follows me free
Is this angel quite a nuisance?
She lives with me
This angel cares for me
This angel you see, what is the description she is to be?
Black hair to grace, as well as fair in the lace
You are angel so beautiful as thee, so close to you no one can see!
The angel is visible everyone has their share
Just keep a place for her to love and care
Such gift God gives you, for my angel I may never know
How she shines and if her halo shall show!
If your angel hasn't appeared to you yet,
you've ignored God's gift, someday you shall regret
Your words you speak are so true but incomprehensible
Ma ke me understand, will my angel ever show?
What is to show but someone you've known all along!
These hints you give I'll ever know
1 still ponder about the angel your talking
Beautifully so...
If you've yet not caught on, I shall reveal my angel
My angel is precious and not like any other
The following angel is my mother
An angel? Your mother?
1 don't believe ad
How can your mother be your angel that helps you grow?
Such talk shall not be answered!
Is your angel with you? That's how you will know
My angel is not with me!
My mother is not always with me, like she once said,
How can she follow me if she is dead?
It's all in the mind, all in the mind,
Life goes by, everybody gets there time,
1 believe you are right,
Such morals I admire of you,
see my angel now, when Hook in the mirror I shall see
The angel smiling straight at me,
and when my mistakes are made
she will be always with me, and never fade!

Atmarambab Panandiker at 99
hri Atmaram S. Pai Panandiker was born on June 7, 1902 in the Rege
Kudchadker family. In 1912, a daughter of the Kudchadker family, Mrs. Ramabai and
her husband Shambhu Atmaram Pai Panandiker adopted young Atmaram.
Atmarambah came to Margao at the age of 10, where he had his primary education in
Marathi, as was the prevailing practice in those days. Later, he studied in Portuguese
and received his Lyceum diploma, and subsequently completed his law degree.
In his youth, Atmarambab had participated in stage performances for almost two
decades at Zambauli on the occasion of the annual Shigmo festival. He is an ardent
devotee of Shri Shantadurga, his kuldevta, as well as Shri Ganesh and Shri Damodar,
who are his Grahadev and Gramdev, respectively.
He worked as an Escrivao in Margao from 1931-1951, when he started his law
practice. Remarkably, he continued his law practice through 1992, the year he was
injured in an accident and compelled to confine his activities to his home.
59
Throughout his life, he was connected with many social, cultural and educational
activities and institutions in Margao. For instance, he drafted the constitution for an
institution named Mathagrama Hindu Mahasabha. The organization celebrated its
75th anniversary in February, 2002 and where he was a honored guest. Additionally,
along with Narcinva Naik and Dr. Shankar Karapurker, he took the initiative to
establish the Seva Samati under whose aegis, Adarsha Vinita Vidyalaya, the first ever
school for girls was started in Margao.
In the business area, in 1935 the city of Margao was electrified by the Compania
Electrica de Salcette (Salcette Electic Company). Atrnararnbab, along with the late
Mr. Panduranga Virginker, played an integral part in setting up the electric company.
Atmarambab became its managing director in the 50's, until it was nationalized in
mid 60's. In 1983, with the help of his sons, he started a Powder Coating Company
called Marpol. To this day, he is still an active board member of this company.
Atmarambab had six children, one daughter and five sons. Three of his children were
educated in the U.S. and two of them still reside there. His other three sons are in
Goa and looking after the various ventures of the Panandiker family. Today, he has
13 grand children and 5 great grand children.
Atmarambab has one brother and two sisters that are following in his footsteps Vaikuntha Kudchadker (aged 98), Jaya Velangi (aged 96) and Gulab Nagarsenkar
(aged 90). Atmarambab has a wonderful multi-faceted personality. It is a matter of
pride for his family and friends that such a man is still alert and active to guide the
destiny of the society through his "Atrnararn Pai Panandiker Charitable Trust", which
supports worthy social and educational causes.

e foundation of our Goan culture is Konkani which has had a checkered history
Jrl
due to political vicissitudes down the centuries.
The earliest formation of the Konkani language dates back to the third century before
Christ around Ashoka times; With the arvanization, Konkani eventually supplanted
the existing local Dravidian dialects of Goa.
The growth of a language invariably follows the hegemony of political powers. Up to
the 15th century various dynasties from the Kadambas (937 A.D. to 1310 A.D.), who
made Chandor in Goa their capital up to the Hindu empire of Vijaynagar (14th to 15th
century A.D.) to the Muslim Bahamani kingdom of Decan in the 15th century,
Konkani evolved further by assimilating Urdu and Kanada words.
In 1469 Goa was conquered by Bahmani King Muhamad Shah Ili followed by its
recapture by Yusuf Adil Khan-Shah of Bijapur in 1488, thus allowing more old Urdu
words to be assimilated into Konkani language. In 1498 Vasco da Gama landed in
Calicut. Soon came Afonso de Albuquerque. Encouraged by the general of
Vijaynagar, Timoja, he launched an onslaught, but the Muslim rulers repulsed the
Portuguese. Finally in 1510 reinforcements arrived from Portugal, and the self-same
Albuquerque took no time to slaughter the Muslims, turning the Zuari and the
Mandavi into rivers of blood.
Soon the Portuguese rulers ordered the bonfires of Kondani books, which they
suspected to contain paganism and idolatry. These acts of cultural genocide were
further intensified with the brutal Portuguese Inquisition of the 17th century.
The invasion of Goa by the Marathas: Shivaji in 1668, Sambhaji in 1683, and later on
by the Bhonsles in 1741, influenced overwhelming the growth of Konkani with
Marathi words and culture.
63
With the advent of Portuguese rule, Christians began to write Konkani in Roman
script while the Hindus, more faithful to the Indian culture and traditions, expressed
themselves in Konkani and Marathi in Devanagari script.
Meanwhile down the Konkan coast, Muslims continued to use Konkani in Arabic,
while people in Karwar, Magalore and surrounding areas use Kanada script for
Konkani. So scripts are but different garbs for the body of language, just as we wrap
up our bodies in dresses or saris or salvar-kameez, kurtas, toliop-baju, jodhpuris or
western suits.
Even Marathi and English do not have scripts as such, but they follow Devanagari and
Roman scripts respectively. Most European languages do not have their own scripts.
They follow the Roman script. However, the Devanagari helps us pre-eminently to
express all the sound nuances of our Konkani language. Since some years back the
ghost of the Roman-Devanagari script controversy has been laid to rest, let us follow
only the officially accepted Devanagari script. It will also help us to study more easily
other sister languages: Hindi, Marathi, and even Gujurati and Bengali.
Let us not Target that two thirds of English words are of foreign descent. It is from
this point of view that etymologists and philologists call English the most
international language. As the British Empire spread far and wide, English kept on
absorbing thousands of foreign, exotic words including those from India. Just like
English, our Konkani enriched itself across the centuries by assimilating words from
different languages: Kanada, Urdu, Marathi, Portuguese, English, and even Sanskrit
in the temples.
Years after it was fully recognized by the Sahitya Akademi, in 1975 Konkani became
the official language of Goa in 1982. In 1992 it was finally included in the 8th
Schedule of the Indian Constitution. (Goa had already become the 25th State of the
Union on August 12, 1987).
Over the centuries, Konkani continued to be pounded with different cultures and
languages, resulting in the de-Konkanization, de Goanization, and at times deIndianization. Konkani ethos must have withstood the onslaught, by saying like
Gandhiji, "Let all cultures blow about me, but I refuse to blow off my feet."
Durign the last decade or so, the Goa University has bestowed about two hundred
B.A. and M.A. degrees in Konkani language literature. A few U.S. universities such
as Georgetown University is accepting Ph.D. dissertation on the same subject.
64
Goan Konkani culture has flowered into more than 20 varieties of folksongs such as
cradle songs : Paino or Haloio; Marriage: Zofio,Manddo; Dulpodd or Drupodd,
Dakni; religious hymns; Harvest such as Dantear Ovio; lahor songs: Kunhi,
gendrachim geetam; Fugddio, Dhalo, Tandni, Dhenlo, Lavni, Penne, Gharane,
Shigmo geetam, Kantaram etc.
Thus our Konkani language is rich in its variegated manifestations of our Goan
culture. With Goal's spread out all over the seven seas, the only need to maintain
Konkani on its high pedestal now, is to standardize and popularize it. Ami Konknne

Dear Fellow Gators,
We are pleased to inform you that we have planned to hold the 6th biannual GOA convention in Houston, our city of unparalleled warmth
,

We are happy to invite all of you

new ones, and to promote our Goan culture and heritage.
As you know, Houston is one of the major US cities, recognized widely
as an important educational, industrial and medical center. It is served
by two airports, namely George Bush Intercontinental Airport and
Hobby Airport, both of which are equidistant from the convention
venue that the organizing committee has selected. Houston offers a
broad variety of types of entertainment and tourist attractions to satisfy
a diversity of interests. Our web site, www.goanconvention.org. is in
the final process of development, and will incorporate links to all of
these different sites of interest.
The convention venue is the Marriott West Loop Hotel in the Galleria
area — one of Houston's financial and shopping center in uptown
district. We have secured a room rate of $67.001night for standard
double double for up-to 4 adults per room. Airport Express Co.
provides reliable transportation to and from the hotel on ,an hourly
schedule at nominal cost. In our next newsletter, we will provide more
details of this important event, and will have specific requests to make
in different areas. If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding any
committee activities, please feel free to contact Ulhas Laud by email_
We are looking forward to having you in Houston, and we are certain that together we will make this
convention a grand success. We would appreciate very much i fyou could fill out the attached form

The Houston Intercontinental (L4H) Airport is approximately 27 miles and the William
P Hobby Airport is approximately 16 miles from the Hotel. Airport Express charges $15 per person
from Hobby Airport to the Hotel and $20 per person from the L4H Airport to the Hotel. If you are
travelling with a party of 2 or more, we suggest you may check into renting a car as it may be
cheaper and provide you more independence than the Airport Express shuttle.
Souvenir:
We are soliciting some articles of interest for our souvenir. We encourage you to
submit an article or any other item of Goan interest (e-g cartoons, jokes, poems, skits etc.). For
publication, please contact Santosh Helekar, our souvenir editor at (713) 839-7758. The deadline for
submitting an article is March 31, 2002.
Fund Raising:
We are also enclosing a letter soliciting your help in raising funds for the convention.
You can support us with a cash donation or an advertisement in our convention souvenir. The letter
includes the price range for the advertisements. As usual donors and advertisers will be listed in the

Dear Fellow Goans,
The 6th Bi-Annual Goan Convention will be held in less than 3 months
from today. The attendee list is growing and the number of registered
attendees encourages us. We sincerely appreciate and thank all those
who have contributed additionally in the form of advertisement finds.
And we are hopeful to get some more too!
The organizing committee is working hard and contributing precious
time in between their own busy schedules to plan a fun filled event.
Entertainment
Chandranath Borkar is fine-tuning the entertainment activities and has
come up with an exciting program for the convention. He almost had
Mohammed Rafi to sing for us at the convention!!! But, we will have to
be content with Mohammed Aslam (a Rafi re-incarnate) from
Bangalore. A young talent, RMICA, who is a disciple of the wellknown singer Suresh Wadkor, will accompany him. He has also
managed to get the Akashwani/Doordarshan star from Mumbai, Mrs.
Sandhya Rao to perform at the convention. Also, we will have a variety
ofiConkani skits, one act plays etc. If you wish to present an item at the
convention, please get in touch with Chandranath Borkar at 281-93380 77.
Souvenir:
Santosh Helekar, our editor, is busy filling his pen with ink! He has
been busy editing souvenir articles. But if you feel that he can be kept
busier for some more time, mail in your articles without further delay.
Food Committee:
The Gholkars from California have sent in their sample menu of Goan food for the
convention. Our food committee will be meeting with Gholkars, towards the end of this month to
finalize the menu.
Registration..
Now, to all those "Sushegad" Goans, who are planning to attend the convention but are yet
to send their registration fees, the organizing committee has decided to extend the deadline of early
registration to May 15, 2002. This date will not be extended any further and the registration fees
will increase after this date.
For your information, a total of 134 persons have registered for the convention. The list of
registered attendees will be available on the web site shortly.
We are also planning to print an updated directory of all Corms in the USA and Canada. If
you do not wish to have your name and/or details to be included in the drectory, please let us know
accordingly on the registration form.
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!!
Sincerely,

Dear Fellow Goans,
We are pleased to inform you that we have planned to hold the 6th biannual GOA convention in Houston, our city of unparalleled warmth
and hospitality on July 5th-7th, 2002. We are happy to invite all of you
to attend the convention with your family, to meet old friends, to make
new ones, and to promote our Goan culture and heritage.
As you know, Houston is one of the major US cities, recognized widely
as an important educational, industrial and medical center. It is served
by two airports, namely George Bush Intercontinental Airport and
Hobby Airport, both of which are equidistant from the convention
venue that the organizing committee has selected. Houston offers a
broad variety of types of entertainment and tourist attractions to satisfy
a diversity of interests. Our web site, wwwevanconvention.org, is in
the final process of development, and will incorporate links to all of
these different sites of interest.
The convention venue is the Marriott West Loop Hotel in the Galleria
area - one of Houston's financial and shopping center in uptown
district. We have secured a room rate of $67.00Inight for standard
double double for up-to 4 adults per room. Airport Express Co.
provides reliable transportation to and from the hotel on an hourly
schedule at nominal cost. In our next newsletter, we will provide more
details of this important event, and will have specific requests to make
in different areas. If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding any
committee activities, please feel free to contact Ulhas Laud by email.
We are looking forward to having you in Houston, and we are certain that together we will make this
convention a grand success. We would appreciate very much if you could fill out the attached form
and mail it to us.
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!!
Sincerely,
Organizing Committee
