After his November 23rd very controversial 50th public funded birthday bash at the Taj Fort Aguada which was attended by the high and mighty along with some dubious characters too, Goa’s beleaguered Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni is now organizing a repeat show on 6th December this time at the Marriott’s in Miramar. According to sources in Atmaram Nadkarni’s office, this party is to exclusively entertain the advocates, judges and possibly retired judges. Do not forget that in Goa, the party next day, after the wedding, is for the *beggars* (bhikranchea-jhevonn).
While Calangute de facto Sarpanch Joseph Sequeira was the fundraiser for that Taj show with the Income tax officials now sniffing for the trail of those unaccounted funds collected, it will have to be seen who gets dumped with the crown of thorns by way of this Marriot bill. Surely this is not a Dutch party, where each one has to foot his own. It would be very interesting to see how many judges and retired judges venture to attend this contentious cocktail party whose agenda has to be read between the lines. Nobody would like his fair name to be in scripted in the hall of shame. Obviously, am not on Atmaram Nadkarni’s invite list. But knowing the temperament and the man’s mental state of mind, for fear of food poisoning would have anyways kept away from such a pompous party. It could even ended up being my last supper! One has to take all that extra care after having been warned by a Senior Advocate that Atmaram Nadkarni possesses the rarest of Tantrik skills. It is an irony that Atmaram Nadkarni who through his writings in that glossy monthly magazine VIVA GOA professes overboard on spirituality and the art of healing but in real life does entirely the contrary. He perhaps does not believe that one should walk the talk. Amen Aires Rodrigues T1 - B30, Ribandar Retreat Ribandar - Goa - 403006 Mobile: 9822684372
