[Patient Registration Card] ** Name of Patient: GOA Ailment: MORTALLY ILL [Non Terminal] Diagnosis: SEVERELY INFECTED BLOOD STREAM. Treatment: TOTAL BLOOD CHANGE. Surgery [Y/N]: [N] - SYSTEM FLUSH (only) Organ Failure: IMMINENT IF IMMEDIATE BLOOD CHANGE NOT EFFECTED. Blood Type: NEW - UNADULTERATED. Blood Group: [D+]=DETERMINATELY POSITIVE - (Young to Moderately Young) Treatment Guarantee: ONE HUNDRED PER CENT - NON RELAPSABLE. Convalescence : 6 - 8 MONTHS - [Preferably up to May ' 07]. Blood Requirement: 40 PINTS. Sd/- (Dr. Su-Raj [Specialist]) *** On the face of the above, it appears that our beloved Goa is really very sick. I would picturize the above as under:- 1. Goa (the Map of Goa) with a prominent old man's head, is propped up on the ICU bed replete with oxygen mask et al. 2. On the one side of the ICU bed, hanging from the rack near the bed are seen ¾ 'empty' blood pints each one having the insignia of the present parties in power or out of power i.e Cong's 'Hand' (Witch's Claw); BJP's 'Lotus' (blowing fire despite floating on a bed of water); NCP's 'Clock' ( a dilapidated scrap yard piece); MGP's 'Lion' (a living skeleton trying to roar but resulting in a cat call 'meauooo'); UGDP's 'Two Leaves' ( both severely moth eaten, jaundiced yellow n falling). 3. The delivery tubes of these blood pints are cut-off and knotted to stop spillage on the floor (save the floor too). 4. On the other side is another rack with as many 3/4 'full' blood pints marked 'new' [D+] connected to GOA'S both arms. GOA is attempting a feeble smile at the doctor (Dr. Su-Raj) and says "Thanks doc ! for saving my life. I feel better already .I don't want to die. No! I want to be the real No.1 in the whole of India. And pointing to the hanging invalids he says "Please take them out of my sight. They belong to the garbage pile at SONSODO' At the corner table , an abstract framed picture (GOD?) has 'two candles' burning in front of it as if in prayer. Could these be the "two candles" election symbol of the Su-Raj Party?? Who knows! ** I believe I have taxed my brains enough for this Sunday. If you people will excuse me, I shall take a break. I have no more breath left to talk about the Margao's Grace Church meet on Sunday last, organized by UGWF (United Goans Welfare Front), nor do I have the breath left to speak about the massive rally intended for Gandhi Jayanti (2-Oct) at KTS Margao. BTW I have just enough breath left to say just this, though. Goans are so desperately trying to UNITE that they seem to name every organization they think of as 'United Goans'. Maybe it is the inbuilt insecurity in them of not being able to UNITE for a good cause that they want to defy?. They might as well Unite to brush Dr. Su-Raj out of the way and re-inject the remaining poison from those hanging invalid pints to see the Old Man (GOA) dead, once and for all. This could be their only chance. Cheers End _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list Goanet@lists.goanet.org http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
