I found this in youtube.com , while i was searching for goan music there. Its truly wonderful to know that young goans out there are still practising a bit of Goan Culture in the west.
The Video clip isnt very straight(shakes a bit). and the music changes from konkani to english, then hindi then Konkani again.
Its Great to know and see, that Nike has used Goan Music to create the most creative Ad i have seen. A mix of Goan Konkani Music, Cricket, and an International Brand.
Lyrics in Konkani
Rav patrao rav
Khedong maka di mhunta aao
Khedong maka di na zhalya
Tuzho kortelem patlanvKhedoch amche oslen
Kednanch ravonk nosle
Undir matracho khed yo kosle
Maka bhogta oslen
Arre maaroon, dhoroon, phodoon
Saiba noshib mozhe phoslen

Lyrics (Translated from Konkani):
‘Wait, partner, wait
First let me play
If you don’t play, I’ll keep chasing you all day
Our game is like this only
Where we have no time to think
It is the game of cat and mouse
That I have begun to love
And in the falling running breaking
My destiny is entwined‘

 Buttercup has finally arrived. She is a 45 day old Female Doberman from Kerela. She arrived last friday 15th of June 2007, This post got abit delayed as i waiting for her photograph from my sister.
She is imported from kerela through vibin’s dad. This is my 3rd import of dobermans from Kerela (after blackie and brownie). I pick up dogs from Kerela as the breed bloodline is the strongest over there. And the kennels there, are well managed.
Blackie is my 3 Year old doberman. He is based in Goa. Blackie, is a doberman champion breed. Certified by KCI(Kennel Club of India). He was imported from Kerela, through Vibin’s father. He was sent via a Jet Airways flight while he was just 45 days. He had come with his companion “brownie” another female doberman.
I have always hated , the official carriers of India i.e. Indian Airlines and Air India. But since travelling to Goa, in the short time possible, i had to choose the lesser from the 2 evils. Which used to be Air India. But weighing the trouble i would face versus time. i would choose other international carriers anytime, over IA or AI …

My Wife got this shot, in Goa this february. She is trying her hand with photography. Still at the basics. There was this blend of colors between the actual sunset and bright road lights, The whole environment was reddish with an outburst of lights at the horizon.
She took this shot, with the road floodlight at her back , with the sun just setting, with the last remaining source of light at the horizon. she took rapid shots , coz within next 15 seconds the sun had gone.
The Items on the beach are , traditional boats, Fishing Nets, and some joggers.
Goans or tourists, who want to experience this lighting, could drop in Early Jan/Feb/Mar and go to Benaulim Beach, next to Pedru Bar & Restaurant.
Vertical View, Zita(My Wife), tried getting this photo from a vertical angle from the base of one of the coconut trees in the backyard of our home in Goa. This tree has been like ripped on the side, by toddy tappers, with lots of moss growing.
