In the summer of last year, the communications planning
agency Naked launched an office in Scandinavia under
the leadership of one of the region's star performers,
Eddie D'Sa. His success
at OMD Ignition in Denmark, when the agency won more
than one Cannes Media Lion, helped to blaze a trail

Norwegian office. |

Case of the swing voter: An electoral
mystery Letter from Britain
27 Apr: International Herald Tribune. Early in Britain's election
campaign, Suella Fernandes, a
candidate for the Conservative opposition, leapt to the microphone
and promised an audience that "Leicester Woman"
from her constituency in central England was about to stun
the nation. "In 1997, Leicester Woman put her trust in
Mr. Blair," she said, referring to the British prime
minister's first electoral triumph. "In 2001 she decided
to give him a second chance." But come election day on
May 5, "Leicester Woman is going to give Mr. Blair a
big surprise that will wipe the smile off his face and put
a smile on everybody else's." … "It's not
a case of flinging the crockery at him," Fernandes said,
in what seemed a triumph of hope over probability, "She's
going to kick him out of the house." http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/04/26/news/letter.php

India gives its image problem an airing. By Amelia
Gentleman
25 Apr: International Herald Tribune. The personal hygiene
of taxi drivers has been central to a government debate
over how to lure more tourists to India. Convinced that
the body odors of many drivers were far from inviting, the
tourism minister, Renuka Chowdhury, has started an advertising
campaign aimed at persuading those who work in the tourism
sector to clean up their act.
The initiative, called "The Guest is God," has
been implemented nationwide and offers free training to
everyone who comes in regular contact with foreign visitors
- taxi drivers, tour guides, shop owners, waiters and customs
officials. The message is simple: behave nicely, and tourists
will return with their money. http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/04/24/business/india25.php

Garbage disposal raises a stink in
Calangute
24 Apr: Navhind Times. The prolonged failure of state governments
to satisfactorily address the garbage disposal problem in
Goa is now reflecting in the busy tourism belt of Calangute.
Recently, a section of villagers from Saligao prevented garbage
trucks from passing through Saligao on their way to the Calangute
hill where the Calangute panchayat has been dumping its garbage
since 1994. The problem reached a flashpoint on April 17 when
a group of Saligao villagers, led by Saligao panch member,
Mr Roland D’souza, waylaid one of the garbage trucks
and allegedly assaulted the truck driver and helpers. http://www.navhindtimes.com/stories.php?part=news&Story_ID=042425

the Literary Life: Writing, Reward and Rejection’, organised

Recent items of interest on
Goanet. By Cornel DaCosta
A substantial discussion has taken place following the
recent appointment of Pope Benedict XVI. Inevitably, issues
around how the new Papacy would shape-up has taken place.
Many posts indicated that doctrinal policies and practices
of the previous Pope would continue as the new incumbent
was similar in outlook to the previous one.
The above discussion led to another debate on Cafeteria
Catholics. Several definitions were provided for this term
and readers of the Goan Voice (UK) would be truly fascinated
by not only discovering exactly what the term means but
also in testing out for themselves if they would fit the
definition. This is important if for no other reason than
for the claim made that Benedict XVI is indeed a Cafeteria
Catholic himself!
Another 'heated' theme has centered on whether women should
be able to join the priesthood within the Catholic Church.
The opinions on this issue have been very wide ranging indeed.
Two substantial articles submitted by Domnic were well written
and highly informative. One was on the fruit called Zamblam
and its many uses. The second was on the use of salt in
Goa in the diet and for other purposes.
Several inputs by Philip Thomas indicated the potential
development of many new airports in Asia and how this will
help such development in Goa/India. We can now envisage
many more direct flights between Goa and foreign cities
including European ones which will facilitate so much more
travel.
The Nairobi Institute is offering the party of the century,
celebrating 100 years of its existence from 11th June 2006.
It is anticipated that many wellwishers from all over the
world will attend the festivities which will go on for a
week.
A long poem by Tony Fernandes provides vivid details of
the "Little Odyessy" whereby Mumbai Goans have
made annual trips to Goa for generations to renew their
attachments to Goa.

The Big Interview - Nina Lockwood
26 Apr. Lancashire Evening Post. Nina Lockwood and her husband
Tony have set up the Stroll Group, UK's leading specialist
recruitment consultancies. They were holidaying in Goa, when
the idea to start a recruitment consultancy of their own formed
in their minds: "We went for a stroll along the beach
and talked it through," she recalls. "By the time
we got back to the hotel we had the business plan in our heads."
That stroll, Nina smiles, is a plausible enough explanation
for the name of their company, now in its sixth year of trading
and expected to turn over £4m this year. http://www.prestontoday.net/ViewArticle2.aspx?sectionid=74&articleid=1009477
