Dears, Rajan Parrikar and Valmiki Faleiro beautifully sum up the mood of the people in Goa. It is just like Deepawali after the darkest night of the SEZ- narak Chathurti. Tondd govdd kor re, baba. Shub , shub bolo! The embers of the Narkasur are still alive ...carefull of the residual crackers in its burnt out frame ...it may burst like the skull on the funeral pyre.
Life mimics traditions and festivities. These days the Narak chathurti has overshadowed Diwali celebrations. We have pompous Narakasur parades with free-flowing crowds and spirits as if it was carnival. Oh! Diwali? It is often the morning after the night before! No politician finances Diwali celebrations as they finance Narkasur parades. There is no spirit in Diwali. Ditto for SEZ or RP or ODP. the money is in the "development", not in the old fashioned conservation. It is now time to come back to our senses. SEZasura or SEZosaurus ...it is time it is EXTINCT in Goa! Thank you , Rajan, for the analogy. Mog asundi. Miguel PS By the way, Rajan-bab, was Krishna in the Ramayana with Sita and Ravanna or in the Mahabarat with Arjuna and the Pandavas? Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2008 18:35:11 -0800 (PST) From: "Rajan P. Parrikar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] Valmiki's SEZ Ramayana Let us mark a new festival to celebrate the triumphant return from Dilli of the victorious King Digu after vanquishing SEZasura with his own bare hands. Goans, light a lamp in your home and do a little pooja of the valorous King Digu, he who put his life at great risk so that you and your children could have a better future in Goa.
