| Fr Carl DeSouza’s 40th Anniversary
as a Priest |
|
From Eddie Fernandes:
In Apr 1955 the peace of the Goan Institute Reading
Room, Mombasa, was shattered by animated discussions
at the bar. A passenger liner had just arrived at the
port from Dar-es-Salaam en route to Bombay. The rumour
was that Carlito DeSouza was on board and someone had
claimed that he was on his way to join a seminary. |
At the time Carlito
was reputed to be East Africa’s most eligible
Goan bachelor. The maidens of the land deserved to know
the truth so a posse of cars and scooters set off for
the docks and I found myself swept along. We located
Carlito and he gave credence to the rumour.
This month Carlito celebrated his 40th year of priesthood.

| Dr Belinda Colaco: 'Let down
by UK' |

Colaco, 32, from Goa has been in the UK for approximately

Canada: Changes make it easier
for foreign doctors to practise here
17 Apr: Toronto Star. Excerpts: Residency rules anger
MDs. But Canadian grads say new way makes it hard to
compete
As the province looks for new ways to enable foreign-trained
doctors to practise medicine here, critics say the latest
move could drive Ontario's own medical graduates out
of the country. At issue is a new rule allowing foreign
doctors to apply for residency or on-the-job training
spots previously reserved for Canadian graduates. [From

RECENT ITEMS OF PARTICULAR
INTEREST ON GOANET. BY BOSCO D’MELLO
The debate on the appalling Road Sense one encounters while
driving in Goa continues. Valmiki Faleiro's column in the
Herald carries several opinions of Goanetters. Valmiki has
introduced some statistics to elucidate the problem. Part
two of his article will arrive at Goanet this weekend.
With the Govt of India considering introducing legislation
to enforce seat reservation at professional institutes and
possibly even forcing private sector companies to employ
people of Schedule Caste/Schedule Tribe and Other Backward
Classes, there were several opinionated but reasoned exchanges.
While most people disagree with the need to reserve seats
at professional colleges there were some that thought it
was the only way to uplift the Dalits and other backward
classes. Several variations of the same analogy were introduced
in the debate.
Manuel Caldeira's dilemma of dealing with bureaucracy in
Goa was highlighted vis-à-vis his "fight"
to maintain his small-scale industries business, manufacturing
ceramic tiles, in Moira. Having returned from Canada to
settle in Goa, Manuel has found himself in an unfriendly
neighbourhood with neighbours filing false claims with government
authorities about him.
Tony Correia-Afonso wrote in about the cliché terms
used to address judges in India - "My Lord" and
"Your Lordship". He would prefer we follow the
US system of addressing judges as "Your Excellency"
Tony Barros and Mervyn Lobo exchanged messages on East
African Goan Hockey players. Some names that were dropped
were, Moraes, Alu Mendonca, Edgar and Egbert, brothers-
Hilary and Leo Fernandes, Alban Fernandes, Armand "Chic"
Saldanha, Gangy Almeida and Auggie Fernandes and many more.
Domnic Fernandes continues to send in Lyrics to Oldie Konkani
songs besides his regular articles from his "antique
shelf" and his daily self-composed, 'Thought for the
Day' in Konkani.
