Responses from GL: Post from: Vivian D'Souza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: NRI returnees in Goa > I DID NOT propose an NRI association to REPLACE the official NRI cell. I suggested an association of former NRI/ NRG who have returned to settle in Goa. I stated the group would not be a replacement for the official NRI Facilitation Center. Instead it would inter-act with and complement the official center. As a group we would be listened to, as a lone voice carries no weight. Response: So a very simple question? What's stopping you from forming this private association? >Tony, having called out to Goans several years ago, to return to their mother land, NRI should have more empathy for those who heeded the call. >From personal experience I can relate my frustrating experiences in' dealing with the bureaucracy for mundane tasks. Response: I understand you returned from USA? What were you thinking? :=)) >all because I do not have a Ration card, and was derogatorily called a "bhailo". Response: What is this ration card bizzness? Why do you need it? >Is there anyone at the NRI Facilitation center who can guide us or help us with such matters? Response: Yes there IS someone! Bat he's gand-far-tee a.k.a. gone for tea meen... He come man-nha-na after going to the fish and vegetable markets for groceries ani pao-bhaji!!! > My experience with bureaucracies anywhere in the world, and more particularly in Goa, has been dismal. That is why I have a deep-seated suspicion of anything in which the bureaucracy is involved. Response: Forget the bearcats. Get on with the ideals and motifs that propelled you to go to Goa. Work with Goa Sudharop. Or I have a VOLUNTARY PROJECT for Goa's schools if you have the time or the interest to inculcate science into Goa's students. Regards, GL.
