RIDICULOUS GOA? Yes indeed some Goans need to be held up to unalloyed ridicule.Some Goans take themseves too seriously and are constantly heard to be the " I" , "ME" & "MYSELF" variety, as if everything they hold forth on is divinely revealed Scripture!!!!!!! At a recent SYMPOSIUM on the SEZ held under yhe auspices of the GCCI & Diocesan Social Action Centre at Panaji, a Botany Lecturer of Goa University, after admitting that he had not read the SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES ACT, nonetheless went on to rave and rant about the undesirability of SEZs for Goa!!!!!!! Another legal worthy who was on the dais also admitted that he had not read the SEZ ACT but had cursorily leafed through the BILL overnight,nonetheless went on to deliver a resounding speech denouncing the SEZ!!!!!!!!!! The moderator who titles himself as a "Development Consultant" did nothing to moderate these loudmouths who of their own admission were ignorant of the SEZ Act. And sitting through it all, besides the sparse audience, was the Representative of His Excellency Archbishop of Goa & Patriach of the East Indies!!!!!! A legislator known for his " environmental agitations" that catapulted him into the Goa Assembly,(where promptly he lost his voice!) who was in the audience was seen lustily clapping during/after the SPEECH by the University Don!!!!!!!!! The GCCI however did a professional sales pitch for the SEZ. Though I am in favour of SEZs in Goa, I was numbed at the utter lack of preparation by the University Don and the Lawyer, and admired their "BRASHNESS" Should not such people, even if they are GOANS be held up to ridicule? Should not the Organisers of such PARODIES also be held up to ridicule? Should not the audience-- bar one_-- who protested also be held up to ridicule? GOA NEEDS TO GET ITS ACT TOGETHER, PULL UP ITS SOCKS , OR ELSE CON ARTISTS WILL CONTINUE TO RULE THE ROOST AND INFLUENCE PUBLIC POLICY/OPINION!!!!!! CAN WE TAKE TIME TO LAUGH AT OURSELVES??????
