  INSPIRATION Goan Achievers THIS IS NOT A DRAFT, This is an idea germinating. I have posted this just to show what I would like to achieve. At the moment I am a little doubtful. I do not have the permission of the folks featured here ... if anyone objects, I will be happy to delete: Inspiration Goan Achievers (Not even a draft) Suella Braverman MP, Attorney-General: It is an immense honour to have represented the people of Fareham since 2015, being re-elected in 2017 and 2019, on both occasions increasing our share of the vote.  My parents came to this country with very little in the 1960s, from Kenya and Mauritius. Mum was recruited by the NHS as a girl of 18years old and worked as a nurse for 45years and Dad worked for a housing association. My family were proud to serve their local community in Wembley, North West London, through local politics: Mum was a Councillor for 16years and Dad a campaigner for local people. No problem was too small: whether it was tryi...

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJserno8tyU I have been trying to write the review this film deserves for about a week because it's near impossible to put into words how incredible this film is. For starters, since the casting is an easy point to reflect on, this film is filled with incredible talent like Andrew Garfield, Robin de Jesus, Alexandra Shipp, and Vanessa Hudgens to name just a few; and truthfully this feels like one of those projects where the cast was so perfect that I could go as far as to say these actors were meant to play these roles. Every person in this cast put everything into this film and it shows through the music and the acting and all those little moments where no one has to say a thing for you to understand exactly what they are feeling. They recorded these already remarkable songs and created exactly what, I personally think, Jonathan Larson envisioned when he wrote Tick Tick Boom. I am quite confident that Jonathan Larson would be so proud to see his w...

Like many places around the world where Goans gather around a bottle of this and that or at lunch or dinner, or even at a card table, the conversation more often than not turns to Goa, Goans, Portuguese, the origin of the Goan Catholic ... the Friday Night Club in Sydney is no different. Blessed with as many points of view as there are in a variety of curries, agreement, acceptance and more often than not the subjects under examination remain floating in the air until the next Friday we meet. Then having burnt many midnight oils surfing through the wisdom (or the lack thereof) of pedia this and that, this ghosts of conversations past are brought to life for another round of robust calculation, miscalculation, examination and this and that. This offering is to the altar of misinformation and disinformation as preached by our resident Dr Google. It is by no means the answer to the question ... How did Goa get its name! This piece is based on a virtual conversation on a site called Quora:...

  SOME of you may know that it has been my dream to produce a book celebrating current Goan achievers around the world. So far, I have failed miserably ... this is my last chance for my last book. If you anyone who deserves recognition, please send me their names and contact details. There are lots and lots of Goans doing wonderful things in all aspects of life around the world. For history's sake let us celebrate them in a little book. Help me, please. Share this with anyone! (Eastleigh364@outlook.com) Goan Achievers (example)    Dr Agnelo Fernandes was born in Margao, Goa, the son of the late Dr Joao Caetano Sacrafamilia Fernandes (Raia, Rachol,Salcette) and Lucy Fernandes (Orda, Candolim, Bardez).

This is a must read piece for anyone with the least interest in the British colonial atrocities ... Caroline Elkins was the first to comprehensively expose the British evil committed on the Mau Mau and she continues to expose more evils committed on men and women everywhere.

One of my former Menengai High School students, Narendra Khagram, sent me the attached photo of Menengai Crater with the message that Menengai, long considered a dormant volcano, is showing signs of activity. The accompanying photograph shows either smoke or steam - it's difficult to tell which with any certainty.  The activity shown in the photograph is almost insignificant compared with, for example, the eruption that took place in La Palma in the Canary Islands and lasted 85 days until December 14, 2021. Although Menengai crater is considered dormant, in view of the increased activity, it is prudent of the authorities to have alerted residents of Nakuru to the possibility of danger especially as fault lines run near the city and cracks have occurred recently showing signs of dangerous activity below. I taught in Nakuru from 1961 to 1970 at Menengai High School. Cybele and I had a lovely house on the last road on the way up the crater which is the second-...
