| Francis Newton Souza |
|
22 Oct: The Spectator
(UK). FN Souza is an interesting
case in point. Indian-born, he came to England in 1949,
subsequently living in New York and India. His particular
brand of spiky and distorted figuration has its admirers,
but its appeal has remained fairly restricted until
now. In the new hang at Tate Britain, Souza is designated
an 'important artist' and accorded a whole room, and
the NPG, ever ready to follow the Tate's lead, has included
him in this show. A shame that Souza didn't live to
see his promotion: for one of his political interests
it would have been highly amusing.
The photograph showing Souza with his daughter, Anya,
was taken in Souza’s former apartment in Hampstead,
London. |
Keith Vaz: Anger at Asylum Policies
24 Oct: Leicester Mercury. Keith Vaz

 |
25 Oct. Gulf News (UAE).
Huge quantities of dead fish have washed ashore on the
eastern coast of Oman … Dr Joaquim Goes, a scientist
at the US-based Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences,
feels the phenomenon could be due to anoxic waters or
waters that promote blooms of toxic algae. Goes and
his team have carried out research on global warming
and its effects on marine life in the Arabian Sea. The
Bigelow Laboratory is working with Sultan Qaboos University.

Monsoons and Tattoos in Goa. By Robin Esrock
22 Oct: Vancouver Sun. Excerpts: The Goan government, a
banana republic on the verge of ripening, is shutting down
parties and shifting the tourist scene from modern trance
hippies to charter tours. The result: No music in the beachfront
cafes past 11 p.m., high-level corruption, more organized
crime and a feeling of paradise lost among the expats …
A doctor from the Israeli Special Forces arrived to "escort"
an Israeli home after he lost his mind on LSD, running around
naked and making a general nuisance of himself. There are
hundreds of Israelis in town … Indians here have names
like Angela Rodriguez and Carlos Gracias … On $10

Frommers Goa Website:
Excerpts: Anjuna Beach became a rocking venue for party
demons and naturalists who would sell their last piece of
clothing at the local flea market for just enough cash to
buy more dope and extend their stay … A living museum
of colonization, Goa is a rich amalgam of Portuguese and
Indian influences … Dotted among the palm groves and
rice fields are dainty villas bearing European coats of
arms … Goa is colonized every winter by white-skinned
tourists here to indulge in the rather commercialized trance

Goa bites the pharma pill
21 Oct: Business Standard. The Goa government after the much-publicised
campaign to attract the IT sector is now eyeing pharma industries.

Flooding of spurious drugs from other states has dogged the
pharma business in the Goa for a long time. Click

The Goa Garbage crises
22 Oct: WorldChanging (Weblog). We hear a story from Goa,
where human waste was traditionally disposed of in "pig
toilets", open-sided outhouses where human waste became
pig food. Unfortunately, this environmentally friendly model
doesn't work in five-star hotels, and there's insufficient
space in Goa to bury this human waste. So the waste is transported
by trucks into rural areas, and dropped in villages. But villagers
have started stoning these trucks as they arrive, and the
garbagemen now need to be protected by armed guards. [A rather
implausible view - Ed,] http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/003666.html

RECENT ITEMS OF PARTICULAR
INTEREST ON GOANET. BY CORNEL DACOSTA
Two substantial articles have appeared recently on Goanet.
Both are fascinating and informative in distinct ways. Firstly,
read Ramnath G. Naik's article about "Social damage
done by Goa's language controversy and the conspiracy behind
it." Secondly, read Domnic Fernandes's insightful article
on the theme of how entertainment revolved around Mother
Nature in the past. This is followed by a shorter article
on the Munz (Girdle). As always, Domnic excels in generating
interest in quite unusual topics.
Have we heard about the Konkani plays and films by Prince
Jacob? If not, an account of his work, and indeed, of other
Goan celebrities in the world of entertainment are featured
well on Goanet.
