needs no introduction. This seasoned and versatile pop sensation is recognized world over for

being the Ambassador who made known Konkani to the global audience. While singers come and singers go, here

is one singer whose groovy voice carves a niche into every heart and etches deeply into every listener’s mind as an

unforgettable wonder. His enigmatic stage presence and interactive singing never fails to leave audiences screaming

for more. A Chris Perry protégé, O’luv surpasses all expectations and only gets progressive with every album and is

definitely instrumental to carry the Perry torch forward. In short, he’s an entertainer with the X-factor. He appreciates

constructive criticism which only compels him to outdo himself. He reminisces on his training moments with Perry

who would yell at him for having a ‘rough, trembling and unpleasant’ voice. The transition since has been amazing.

His redefined recent debonair makeover and suave charm has also made him a rage with the youth, and a true icon

who has given Konkani an international appeal. His stint at the Jazz festival in Amersfoort last year was a huge

success followed by his star guest appearance in Qatar for the World Goa Day, left an unforgettable impact on every

Goan that attended the event. A similar turnout was experienced during his maiden Live launch in Mumbai last

December where he was given a standing ovation by the music frenzy crowd and the Guest of Honour herself, Mrs.

Rita Rose, wife of the legendary Late Alfred Rose, who complemented Rodriguez for his spectacular performance

and contribution to Konkani music. It was apparently the first time ever in the history of Mumbai that a ‘houseful’

crowd was experienced for a Konkani Concert outdoors!’ These were a few memorable reviews of his several

successful shows last year.

When queried about his future musical plans, he reveals that he wants to accomplish what no Goan has ever done

before, Konkani will soon be experienced in a foot tapping, mind-blowing blend of fusion, and prefers to not disclose

too much about his ongoing project which is currently in the pipeline. He also reveals that he has been approached

to do a Konkani fusion with American singer K’loni Sky, talks of which are still underway. He also speaks about his

Bollywood movie, Damaad Ke Intezaar Mein, starring the beautiful Rati Agnihotri in the main character lead amongst

others, where he had lent his voice to all the songs in the movie under the guidance of music director Joaquim De

Souza, and acted in it as well. The movie is directed by Shankar Madkekar and is produced by Aditya Creative

Filmmakers. He hopes to see DKIM’s release soon.

His calm intellect compels me to ask him what he intends to venture into, Konkani movies, perhaps? He impishly

smiles, and is quick to retort, “And why not? I would love to attempt movies should an interesting script and a role

of substance comes my way! However, it is not the quantity but the quality that I choose to lay emphasis on when it

comes to my work.” Well said, O’luv Rodriguez!! A truly inspirational and captivating personality indeed!

All in a day's WOK !!!All in a day's WOK !!!Who are Visionaries? They are the creators of a new beginning, functioning with imagination,perception, and acumen. They present a challenge that calls forth the best in people and bringsthem together around a shared sense of purpose. One such new beginning was made with “Allin a Day’s Wok” - one of the most eminent and happening Goan Culinary Group on Facebook.Established on the Advent of the Lenten season, February 22, 2012, its founders, Mary Silveira,also the President of the Quebec Goan Association, Precyla Barretto and Charmaine Fernandes, afreelance writer, never imagined that this ADW will hit the popularity charts to such a skyrocketingheights in a record month and a half. This Wok now stirs hearts of Goans around the World alongwith the delectable Goan delights. With a flourishing current strength of almost 5000 members andstill growing, ADW is out pursue its endeavor to reach out to Goans all over the world and redefineits objectives by sharing the Goan traditional culinary secrets and preserving its heritage in theyears to come. Never-seen before spectacular Goan culinary fusions are presented on this platform,appreciated by one and all. It is a rare spectacle where such warmth, love and hospitality of a Goanhome is witnessed amongst Konkans of such massive strength on one podium!

The Mastermind of this concept, Precyla Barretto, says, “I interactively bind our brethren withthe key ingredient, ‘love’.” She eyes beyond the horizon, not just what she is able to see. Lookingat the bigger picture of it all, she loves the profound affection between the members, the willingnature of each one to share their culinary trials and errors, turning into reality the very purpose ofthe existence of this group. All In A Day’s Wok, a name conceived by co-Administrator, CharmaineFernandes, turned out to be a boon to many Goans outstretched across the world and is also now ahousehold name. When asked what inspired the name “All in a Day’s Wok” Charmaine’s eyes lit up

as she replied “All in a Day's Wok is a play on words of the phrase of ‘All in a Day's Work’... the mainobjective is to make cooking vibrant and exciting for the people who find cooking a complete mind-numbing and to add the zing to your flair of cooking.”

Precyla BarrettoPrecyla Barretto

All in a day's WOK !!!All in a day's WOK !!!With the outstanding success of All in a Day’s Wok, what exactly is it that you wish to accomplish?

Says Precyla with a humble, heartrending, warm smile, “I am speechless and overwhelmed by theresponse ADW is receiving. When this concept was conceived in the spur of the moment, neitherCharmaine Fernandes, nor Mary Silveira, or I, ever thought that something so unstrategized wouldtake off so successfully. I love cooking and was always adored for my culinary skills, but despitefriends and several people coaxing me, it never really struck me to venture into this, that too sounanticipated! Guess the best happens unplanned! ADW is NOT a group, but a family, one thatI would like to bind together on the Wok diner in the true spirit of Goa. We share our love, notrecipes, and will continue to do so, for the love of the members, not recipes, in return.”

She also announces that ADW will be out with the first series of its publication next year, “All In ADay’s Wok” and this group is only a memento of what to look out for.

Indeed a visionary and a great inspiration to all. This young visionary seems to be out to capturehearts and every dimension that touches the core values and culture of Goa.Written by Silvestre Machado for IPGM VIVA

Time To Bell The Bleddy Bandicoot

By Godfrey [email protected]

And now that Goa has a new Chief Minister, it is time to bellthe bandicoot who has been borrowing into Goa's heart for somany years. It is time to Dig Under Kamat and bury him.

Put Digambar Kamat on the stand and fry him in iron ore dust.Ask him how much iron ore went to China, a country that isIndia's economic competition. That is treason, almost...

Ask him about all those illegal mines and the slippery twistsand ugly turns of legal mining. The mining companies weregiven permits by the State of Goa aided and abetted bybloated power brokers in New Delhi.

Who was the last Chief Minister? Who held the portfolio onmining? Whose hand was on the steering wheel of Goa? As{Past} Chief Minister he has to ultimately hold the buck.And big bucks he is holding, in his pocket. You can bet yourbottom rupee on that.

If Kamat says he did not know what was happening in Goa and tries to blame mining irregularities on his minions, well then he was not fit to be Chief Minister. I mean, what about accountability? Who should hang for this? And finally, if the Congress is pondering their loss, all they have to do is take the Goa example and examine it.

A Company or Party is reflected in the strength or weaknessof its personnel and what they do or do not do. SurelyCongress movers and shakers squatting in New Delhi were awareof the audacity with which Digambar Kamat ran the miningoperations in Goa.

They had to have known of the collective Goandissatisfaction, but they sat back and watched, because theybelieved that their power made them invincible and DigambarDada was filling the Congress war chest with rich Goan blood.

This man must pay for what he has done to Goa and its people.If the Congress party has any moral spine it should admitthat this corrupt politician has hurt the party. But theywill not because that would advertise their own compliance.

The Goans are not stupid. They know what Digambar Kamat wasdoing, and although for years, the Goans did nothing radicalto stop this fascist. Goa's new Chief Minister seems to have picked on the universal vibe in Goa. It's a pragmatic political move, but if that is the game, and the game benefits Goa and its people, play on.---------------------------------------------------------------------------

GOANKAR OWN ACADEMY GOANKAR OWN ACADEMY

recollection day by Diana Joseph

A most befitting manner to celebrate the Lenten Season was thought by the ExecutiveManagement Committee of the Goinkars Own Academy (GOA) on the 3rd of March2012 to visit St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Akhtar Colony and spend time in prayer

collectively as a community.

The journey started from Our Lady of Fatima Parish/St. Patrick’s Parish at the designatedpick-up points arriving at St. Anthony’s Church where the Parishioners from St.

Anthony’s assembled to embark on this most looked forward to trip. There were 2 bussesfull of ladies and a few gents of diverse age and background, you could even find 3

generations together there as Grand moms, daughters and granddaughter came togetherto attend this spiritual experience along with some team building activities. Diana led

the group in the Cantt Bus in prayers while the other Bus prayers were led by ElizabethGoveas as we started to move towards our destination. As soon as the bus started moving

we were treated to breakfast of fresh delicious Sandwiches Chutney & Egg and Juicepacks.

The excitement of the participants on arrival at the St. Peter’s Church premises increasedwhen they entered this amazing church which was so beautifully built in the heart ofAkhtar Colony. It is an extended wing of the St. Paul’s Parish, Mehmoodabad which

exists for over 40-45 years back seeing some very distinguished Parish Priests amongwhich were Fr. Lybarius, Fr. Wink, Fr. Louis Andrew and many many more who worked

very hard to establish and further expand this parish.

The participants were very impressed by the interior of the Church which gave a majesticappearance. The exterior was also as impressive with its 4 domes and large crucifix’s on

each dome standing high in grandiose and splendor. Before we could all settle down toa day of Recollection, there was a session of photographs which was so enthusiastically

taken by all to capture the beautiful church in their memories. The Blessed Sacramentwas exposed in a separate room with an alter built in honor of the Blessed Sacrament

with a very quite environment to reflect and pray.

The Stations of the Cross was very solemnly recited along with hymns in Konkani. Themass intentions were also read out by Rev Fr. Mario. Participants offered masses for

deceased members of the family and friends as well as thanksgiving for various favorsreceived. Holy mass was presided over by Rev Fr. Mario Rodrigues and readings weredone by Melba Pinto and Claudette Santamaria. The intentions were done by Elizabeth

Goveas.

After the mass there was a mingling of participants as we all had to gather in thecommunity hall which is a part of the St. Peter’s church where a very beautiful Gorroto

is made in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes. Many people took photographs at the Gorroto.A token of thanks was presented to Fr. Mario for facilitating our group in this beautiful

church for Recollection Day.

Coupons for lunch and snacks along with a crossword puzzle was distributed to all theparticipants to stimulate their brains and also reflect on the Lenten season. The words

given in the crossword puzzle were all relevant to Lent. It was truly a very good exercise.The speakers on the occasion were Deborah Santamaria President and Marshal Fernandes

Vice President, Goinkars Own Academy. We were informed about the upcoming eventsand the BLOG created for the Goinakrs own Academy was introduced to us. We were

then directed to make a queue for collecting our sumptuous lunch of White rice, deliciousdaal and superb fry fish and papardums along side salad and pickle. Everything was so

superbly planned and thought of.

Post lunch we had another very stimulating activity which was known as the ChineseWhispers. It was a lesson in communication, to see how well we use our listening skillsand passing on the correct information. By far only one team came up with the correct

message the others were hilarious which left the entire group in splits of laughter sweetpackets were distributed to all the groups.

Lucky draw was held in which many people were accommodated, the first lucky drawprize was won by Mrs. Rita D’Souza and many more followed, among whom was Mrs.

T. C. Jacobs who really enjoyed the Recollection Day. We once again made a queue andwere treated to yummy tea and snacks.

We ended with prayers and hymns in honor of our Lady at the Grotto. We all reachedour destination in no time by the Grace of God and were refreshed with the spiritual

awakening and stimulating activities of the Recollection Day organized by the GoinkarsOwn Academy.

Kudos to Debbie and her team for arranging the whole event in a most apt manner withevery little detail taken care of. We would like to thank all the gentlemen who were there

to support us on this trip.

Português Baçaím Português Baçaím (Vasai)(Vasai)The Roman Catholic Diocese of Baçaím (Vasai) (Latin: Vasaien(sis)) is a diocese located in the city of Baçaím (Vasai) in the Ecclesiastical province of Bombay in India.Baçaím was the capital of Provincia do Norte of the Portuguese Índia. It was one of the Richest Colonies of the Portuguese Empire.

Baçaim was the most important settlement of the Portuguese in the Western Índia. As Baçaim prospered under the Portuguese, it came to be known as Corte do Norte ( Court of the North). It became a resort to The Fidalgos ( Portuguese noblemen ) and The richest Merchants of Portuguese India. Baçaim became so famous that a great Portuguese man of Baçaim would be called Fidalgo ou Cavalheiro de Baçaim ( Nobleman of Baçaim)

Goa lying farther to the south in many ways Baçaim was Velha Goa's(Old Goa) rival in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries for its beautiful churches, Buildings & Universities.

The decline of the Portuguese power in Orient and the transfer of Bombaim (Bombay) to the British in 1665, weakened Baçaim, the city was attacked many times by the Marathas. In February 1739, the Marathas attacked Baçaim, and after a desperate resistance, on 16 May 1739, the last Portuguese upholders, signed the surrender. The Portuguese, left Baçaim on 23 May 1739. The Glory of Baçaim was Lost Forever.

This Group is about the History of Português Baçaím from 1535–1739.

Dominican Church entranceVASAI BACAIM INDIA.

Our lady of remedios, remedy 1576The parish of Our Lady of Remedy was the second parish to be separated from the mother of parish ST. Thomas, Sandor. Fr. Lobo Cardozo started the work on the church at Remedy towards the end of 1576. It was completed during the term of Dom Luis d'Athaide who was the governor from 1577-1581. The main benefactress of the church was Donna Anna Ortiz about whom nothing much is known.The Dominicans founded the church dedicated to Our Lady of Remedies outside the fort. Vasai was invaded by Moghuls, Arabs and the Marathas; they looted the churches of St. Thomas and Our lady of Grace, but left the church of Our Lady of Remedies untouched. However, in 1690 Kakaji, an invader pillaged Vasai and the Dominicans had to leave. The first secular priest was the Vicar of Holy Cross, Nirmal. The present church was rebuilt in 1939. A fire burnt down its beautiful main altar and the present altar was transferred to this church from the Bhuleshwar Cathedral of Bombay, when the latter was closed down in1941. The parish celebrated its fourth centenary in October 1977. The church was later extended with North and South wings. Archbishop Ivan Dias made the announcement of the erection of the new diocese in this church and offered Mass. WRITTE Darel Fargose
