As you get to read this edition, we would have completed 100 days of lockdown. Something that nobody expected when we entered this year. The life post this scenario is expected to be different, socially, financially and culturally. The hygiene levels would emulate the “anvalpana” that our ancestors practiced. Socially, events and functions like cradling ceremony, chowl/upanayanams, marriages and festivals would be somber. Financially, discretionary spends would see a big dip. Cultural events would not happen for some time now. The Sabha’s program schedule will also undergo significant changes, details of which are covered elsewhere in this edition. Mankind has learnt to respect Mother Nature and follow certain rules which we took for granted. Since memories are short we will have to see how long this change would last. The digital platform has taken over a very large part of how we interact with the external world. It is nice to see many families in touch with their “long lost” relatives/friends and have weekly calls, play games and keep themselves connected. Your Sabha also initiated the Samvaad series which was well received by our community and our well-wishers. The idea was to keep our minds occupied and divert from all the negativity that was all around. In the series of 6 talks till date, we covered diverse topics and the speakers were domain knowledge experts. We had audience not only from India but also from the US, Middle East, Europe and New Zealand. Including the Lockdown Issue special edition, this is the third e-version of the VoG. The Lockdown Special e-version was well received by our community. Contributions came from all over India and some from overseas as well. With the migrant workers gone to their homes, major cities would feel their absence. In Mumbai, we are heavily dependent on them, starting with the milkman, the newspaper delivery boy, the car cleaner, the drivers, the security and house keeping resources, the vegetable and fruit vendors….the list continues. It would take them some time to introspect on their decision to return. The debate on how we unlock ourselves is the talk of the town. It’s a trade-off between living with the challenges or moving on with the challenges. Till such time we all would have to be Atmanirbhar. We are sure that, by the grace of God and the blessings of our Swamiji’s, there would be a vaccine available very soon, till then we will muster the courage to live with this challenge. Take care, stay safe and healthy. Dev baren koro. Thanks and regards, Laxmikant Prabhu President Voice of GSB, July-September 2020, Page No. 5 www.gsbsabhamumbai.org / [email protected] Vol. XIV, Issue 2 COVID WARRIORS by Dr. Veena Adige he highly contagious COVID 19 has created havoc in the world.

  • GOAN CUISINES Visitors to Goa Tend to Think That Food and Drink in Goa Means the Famous Fish, Curry, Rice and Feni Package
    GOAN CUISINES Visitors to Goa tend to think that food and drink in Goa means the famous fish, curry, rice and feni package. And for most Goans these are indeed the three basic necessities of life -- fish, curry and rice. They combine to make a heavenly daily meal for the average Goan. But Goan cuisine, like the land itself, has many flavours and tastes with its vast treasure trove of culinary delicacies. The long period of Portuguese rule, besides that of the Muslim and Hindu kingdoms, has left an indelible influence on the original style of Goan cooking and this has led to an exotic mix of truly tasty and spicy cuisine. Most people who sample Goan cuisine, enjoy this different and unique style of food which has a distinct and unique combination of spicy flavours. A Goan values his food as much as he does his daily siesta (break). And in his daily meal, seafood always has a pride of place is some form or the other. From fried fish to exotic concoctions like ambot-tik, sea food is usually a must on the menu, except for the occasional break for some religious observance. Goans take pleasure not only in what they eat, but also how they cook it. Although modern conveniences have almost completely taken over in urban areas, the traditional way of cooking in clay pots on firewood continues in most rural areas of Goa. This style of cooking adds an additional smoky flavour to the food, highly valued by Goans. Despite the two schools of cuisine traditions influenced by the respective religions of Hinduism and Christianity; there are some meeting points that present an interesting harmony.

Goa has emerged as the most favoured tourist destination in the country, both for domestic as well as foreign tourists. Goa is a tiny State on the Western Coast of India amply bestowed with natural beauty, lovely beaches along with its 105 Kilometers coast line segregated into various beach stretches, eco- friendly atmosphere, lush green hills, world heritage monuments, churches, temples and above all friendly hospitable people. Tourism is a major activity in Goa having direct and indirect impact on all other sectors of the economy. Tourism has contributed substantially to the economic development of the State by way of foreign exchange earnings, employment generation, infra-sectoral competition and it has also improved the living standard of people. In this research article I explained Importance of tourism in Goa, Geography and Climate, Best beaches, Water Sports, Casinos, Food, Drinks, Hotels, Guest houses, etc. Keywords: Geography, Beaches, Water Sports, Casinos, Food and Drinks 1.

  • DATE:21.11.2014 More Crop Yields Adding More CO2 to Atmosphere
    DATE:21.11.2014 More crop yields adding more CO2 to atmosphere The HinduCO2 absorbed by plants during spring and summer is released back to the atmosphere in autumn and winter. A sharp rise in food production to meet the demands for rising population accounts for as much as 25 per cent of the seasonal increase in carbon dioxide (CO2), finds new research. The carbon dioxide absorbed by plants during spring and summer as they convert solar energy into food is released back to the atmosphere in autumn and winter. It is not that crops are adding more CO2 to the atmosphere; rather, if crops are like a sponge for CO2, the sponge has simply gotten bigger and can hold and release more of the gas, the study noted. “This is another piece of evidence suggesting that when we (humans) do things at a large scale, we have the ability to greatly influence the composition of the atmosphere,” said co-author of the study Chris Kucharik from University of Wisconsin-Madison in the US. With global food productivity expected to double over the next 50 years, the findings should be used to improve climate models and better understand the atmospheric CO2 buffering capacity of ecosystems, the researchers pointed out. “Global climate models do not represent the important details of agro-ecosystems and their management very well,” Mr. Kucharik added. The study found that, while the area of farmed land has not significantly increased, the production efficiency of that land has. Intensive agricultural management over the last 50 years has had a profound impact.

  • Mughlai Cuisine
    Goan cuisine Goan cuisine consists of regional foods popular in Goa, located along India's west coast along the Arabian Sea. Seafood, coconut milk, rice and paste are main ingredients of Goan delicacies. The area is located in a tropical climate, and spices and flavors are intense. Use of Kokum is another distinct feature. Goan food cannot be considered complete without fish. It is similar to the Malvani cuisine/ Konkani cuisine. The cuisine of Goa is influenced by its Hindu origins, four hundred years of Portuguese colonialism, and modern techniques. The state is frequented by tourists visiting its beaches and historic sites, so its food has an international aspect Seafood The cuisine is mostly seafood based, the staple food is rice and fish. Kingfish (Vison or Visvan) is the most common delicacy, others include pomfret, shark, tuna and mackerel. Among the shellfish are crabs, prawns, tiger prawns, lobster, squid and mussels. The Hindu food of Goa is unique, and the food of Goan Christians is influenced by the Portuguese. Introduction of new edibles to Goan cuisine The Portuguese brought potatoes, tomatoes, pineapples, guavas and cashews from Brazil to Goa. Of these tomatoes and potatoes were not accepted by the Hindus until the late 20th century. The most important part of Goan spices, the chilies were introduced to Goan cuisine by the Portuguese which became immensely popular. All these above mentioned ingredients were not used in Goan cuisine before the advent of the Portuguese. Hindu Cuisine Hindu Goans use less heat, tamarind and Kokum for souring and jaggery for sweetening. They use asafoetida, fenugreek, curry leaves, mustard and urad dal.[2] It is not very spicy, less amount of onion and garlic is used.
