A lot of people are talking about felicitating Remo for this unique action. There surely must be others who have done a similar thing in refusing honours, awards, promotions etc from government. To my mind, this is as good an opportunity as any for recognising the good deeds of these valient people standing by principles in times when principles, ethics et al have been fried and eaten for breakfast. I have talked to Dr. Oscar Rebello, Dr. Bonny Pereira, Ramakant Kharangate, Valmiki Faleiro, Cecil Pinto, Jacinto Baretto etc. and they have all agree in principle on this. This will be very good is what they have said. I shall be talking to many others in due course of time including Margaret Mascarenhas, Wendel Rodrigues, Dr. Francisco Colaco, Ibonio D'Souza of Goa Sudharop, etc. If you will identify such deserving persons, it will be great. Cecil has already identified one. I should come up with a couple of names from my hidden memory, after I sleep on it for a while. Sugestion: Number 1. 1. Organise a joint felicitation function for these heroes at a venue like the Kala Academy. 2. Set a citizen's committee (excluding all politicians, including self if considered a politician at all). 3. Set up a temporary bank account for this occasion. 4. Solicite for deposits by cheque min. Rs. 500/- 5. Have the function, all Goa basis. 6. Hand over the remaining amount collected if in excess of the expenditure to a Charitable organization through the honoured celebrities. 7. As an after thought, have a sponsor ready just in case there is not enough money comming in the kitty. How's Zat???????????????? More suggestions are most welcomed. floriano PS: This idea was given to me this morning by Ramakant Kharangate of Margao and since then I have put some work on it. --------------------------------------------------------- Feel strongly about changing the World?
