Winter Warmers
31 Oct: Sunday Mirror. Goa. Miles of white sands washed by
the warm Arabian sea, waving palm trees, strolling elephants...you
know you’re in the tropics when you arrive in Goa. This
former Portuguese colony is, for many, the first taste of
the wonders of India. It’s easy travelling and the food
is fantastic with everything from vindaloos (which originated
here) and masalas to king prawns and chips. Have lunch in
a beach bar, relax with a leisurely massage, then shop for
cotton clothes and jewellery at some of the outdoor markets.
You can bargain with traders but prices are so cheap it’s
hardly worth the effort. HOLIDAY INFO: Avion Holidays (0870

from £545pp, including return flights.
GOA NEWS HEADLINES
Get going in the Goa fest
29 Oct: Hindustan Times. There is something about Goa: a distinct
allure, a picture-book languor, and a vagabond spirit. The
sand, the sun, the fish, the feni, all ingredients for that
perfect hangout. If you cannot make it to this dreamy land
of beaches and tall coconut trees, you could comfort yourself
with a visit to the Goa Sadan in New Delhi.

| Bombay: Toymaker inspired by Souza
drawings. |
 |
30 Oct: Mid-Day (Mumbai).
Excerpts: Meerut-based toymaker Brijkul Deepak creates
some rather engaging sculptures. His latest exhibition
is inspired by his friendship with F N Souza, the modernist
maverick artist. Sets of sculpture and drawing are on
view and on sale. Priced between Rs 90,000 to Rs 1.25
lakh, each set comes with a sculpted head and a Souza
drawing. This might be a worthy investment, with a Souza
original and a good head thrown in too.

About Souza: Born in
1924 in Goa, F N Souza founded the Progressive Artist’s
Movement along with others in 1947. In 1949, Souza immigrated
to England. However, after receiving the Guggenheim
International award in 1967, Souza moved to New York
where he lived until his death in 2002. His works are
in the collections of the Tate Gallery, London and the
National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi. Full text

Goa’s ‘fun’ image
in no danger
30 Oct. Deccan Herald. An attempt to present the ‘other’
face of Goa did not gather support from the Union Minister
of Tourism, Renuka Chowdhary at the Goa Mahotsav held in Delhi.
By Devika Sequeira.
Goa’s Minister for Art and Culture, Ramrao Dessai would
like to “erase the false image of Goa as a land of fun,
feni and frolic” and “westernised” society.
However, Union Minister for Tourism Renuka Chowdhary decided
to snub the minister for his comments. Goa she said, represented
the beautiful beaches, the smell of feni and pork ‘vindaloo’.
“There is no better place for Christmas and New Year
in the country.” the union minister remarked. http://67.18.142.206/deccanherald/oct302004/n8.asp

GOANET: SOME HIGHLIGHTS By
Bosco D’Mello
The Caste issue in Goa has been the major topic
on Goanet this week. Some posters wanted to know how one would
go about finding one's caste. Suggestions made include going
to your local church and checking the birth record of yourself
or your parents. Another indicator is to find out which village
you originated from as some villages are/were clustered based
on the profession of the inhabitants. Additionally an individual
chose to criticize the late Valerian Cardinal Gracias of Bombay
as being responsible for assisting Mr. Nehru in liberating
Goa from the Portuguese on account of his caste background.
The Dabolim Airport debate moved to center-stage
since Mr. Churchill Alemao, Member of Parliament, South Goa
is protesting to the Navy’s continued use of Dabolim.
Many Goanetters are of the view that the Navy should move
to the new naval base south of Karwar and hand the airport
over to civilian authorities. It was later disclosed that
besides the Navy, the Air Force and Coast Guard also use Dabolim.
Another analysis from an Australian Goanetter stated the State
Government has been made aware discreetly that the Navy will
not vacate Dabolim and so the State Government is pursuing
the development of the Mopa airport in North Goa, close to
the Maharashtra border.

Renaming of streets evokes mixed
feelings for Indians
31 Oct. Nashua Telegraph. Last June, activists vandalized
signs on cobbled streets in western India’s Goa state
to demand the renaming of 14 roads with Portuguese names.
In western India, where India's name changing all began, Pramod
Navalkar, leader of the right-wing Shiv Sena party that spearheaded
the change to Mumbai, says things may be getting out of hand.
"It began with cities, then roads, then intersections.
Now even street corners are being renamed," Navalkar
says. "Everybody gets confused." He adds, chuckling,
"Many a time I also say 'Bombay.” http://nsnlb.us.publicus.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041031/NEWS03/110310080/-1/news

Street sweepers, security guards
and billboards
1 Nov: Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) News. By
Glenn Mitchell. For me, this second tour of India has been
every bit as enjoyable as my first back in 2001. Signs in
general in India are a constant source of amusement. One of
my favourites was in the history museum in Old Goa. There,
hanging on the wall in a beautiful old Portuguese-style building
alongside portraits of the past governors of the colony, was
a simple sign that read - "No Spitting". http://www.abc.net.au/sport/content/200411/s1232364.htm
There must be a way to stop windfalls

2 Nov. Sydney Morning Herald. By Willie Simpson. Years ago
in Goa I discovered fenni, the local firewater. The Portuguese
colonists distilled the raw spirit from the oily, capsicum-like
fruit of the cashew tree; diluted with some sugary Indian
soft drink, fenni does the job at sundown. In time, I even
got to quite enjoy the hint of kerosene in the aroma.

The Spice Of Life
4 Nov: Far Eastern Economic Review (Hong Kong). Excerpts:
Well-known chef Manjit Gill of the Maurya Sheraton Hotel in
New Delhi explains that chillies are used to enhance the flavour
of other ingredients and spices, not to torch the oesophagus.
"We have thousands of chillies, each with their own flavour.
Traditionally, every village cooked with the chillies it grew,"
she says. "Today, every recipe that reads 'half a teaspoon
of chilli powder' is referring to the Kashmiri chilli. It's
one size fits all. As far as I'm concerned, if you aren't
using Goan vinegar and Goan chillies, you aren't cooking Goan
food."
