<Dear Floriano,
The overall picture you have drawn is very correct and, my God, so horrendous!
To be sure, this is one of the most difficult and crucial periods in our history.
What we are going through is worse than colonialism, Nazism, all put together.
The only silver lining is that more and more people are awakening to the grim reality of what is happening in Goa and are clearly expressing their voices of condemnation despite fear of reprisals.>
My dear Fransicot,
Greetings from The Bahamas. You might as well know that your renditions (along with your wife) on the Big City Band CD keep me company very often as I drive to and from work.
You two are positively brilliant.
Hopefully, one day you will consider putting together an entire album with a little less electronic back up. Unfortunately, Emilano has gone a wee bit out of sync.
Now to the points you make above.
1. I am not surprised by what Floriano has written.
2. It's the old Camel and Tent story - Willie, Faleiro,Rane, Churchill and Sardinha (not to mention Neri, Monseratte, Isidore et al) ......... gave Parrikar support. Some for tactical, some for financial and some for Damoclesian reasons.
They forgot that lessons from Disposable Syringes. Use and Discard.
They also forgot the Snake who bit the Sadhu story. The sadhu asked the snake: " Why did you bite me - after all it was I who gave you shelter".
To this the Snake replied: "Arre pishea. Tuum Sadhu zalo puun raulo Pisso. A snake is always a snake. It will bite when the time is right"
3. However I disagree that a significant number of Goans are awoken to the chicannery in progress. Time and again, I am advised How GLORIOUS and VIBRANT the democratic process in Goa continues to be.
4. Fortunately for Goa, life is a cycle. Salazars will come and Salazars will go. We Goans will always remain the Honrado people we are - through our Music, Food, Culture and love for the finer things in life.
As far as the politicians and their lackeys are concerned, I'd say Mar Zock!
good wishes
jc
