Dear Goanetters,
# This is my last comment on the procedural aspects as I wish to
focus now on the actual job at hand. There has been much nit -
picking on this issue particuarly by those who are more concerned
with their own ego's and one upmanship attitudes. I am sure this
will continue ( and will have continued even if Rajan and I had
agreed to all the rules and regulations set up instantaneously by
Mr Bosco D'Mello ).
Hopefully , my concern for Goa will help me to overcome the
endless name calling and innuendo from the usual sources.
# When I first mooted the project , I had said that Manohar Parrikar
had agreed to answer questions posed by Goanetters. The intention
was that he would be faced by challenging questions from a hostile
audience. I did not say that Goanet owned the entire venture and
could hold me and Rajan hostage by directing us in every step we
take to organise what is after all probably the first such exercise in
the history of Goan and Indian politics.
# Mr Bosco D'Mello has stated that I did not consult Goanet when
we started this venture. My question to him and others who have
castigated us is whether anyone has consulted us before cobbling
up the stipulations. Should we , who have to co-ordinate with not
just Manohar Parrikar and Digamber Kamat but others involved in
this initiative and implement the whole thing not deserve any
consultation as to what constraints we are working under in terms
of the time , energy and financial factors we can afford to expend
in pursuing this ( particularly as we do have our own proessional
and family commitments to fulfil ) ?
Or are we Goanets amanuensis ?
# This forum has been used in the past by Goa SuRaj for instance
( and I again commend Bab Floriano Lobo for having done so ) to
issue party political notices. Another poster who believes in unlimited
unlearning has advertised his professional wares on it. NGO's who
are poorly veiled vestiges of a political party have disseminated their
press notes.
As far as I can see ( after repeated perusals of Goanet rules as
directed by Mr Bosco D'Mello ) , we have not broken any Goanet
rules to date. We have not " used " the forum as charged other
than in a way that any other folks who post on it do.We have
profusely thanked those Goanetters who helped us formulate the
questions....the only " use " we have made of this forum so far,
and posted the final list of questions to demonstrate that they
are a fair reflection of the issues raised. We shall make every
attempt to make the actual interview procedures transperant and
post the unedited videos on the net.
All in all , the Goanet ( and some goanetters ) approach to all this
strikes a note of pure hypocrisy.
# Rajan and I shall now proceed and try our best to make this as
fair and as transperant a venture as we planned it to be in the first
place. We do not expect to achieve perfection. There are obvious
restrictions we face in terms of the resources at our command and
accepting the fact that we are new to anything of this nature ( as
is Goa and India in general ).As Rajan has already stated , any faults
and shortcomings are entirely our responsibility . Goanet and those
Goanetters who helped us to gather the questions posed are not ,
repeat NOT , responsible for any deficiencies whatsoever.
# There have been many a grandiose proposal floated by some on
this forum as to how they would approach the same objective...that
of holding the persons responsible for managing our stake in Goa to
account. I encourage these individuals to pursue their proposals
with the same vigour with which they announced them . Any help I can
provide them , I will do so unconditionally and without demanding any
credit. They clearly have much greater time and resources at their
disposal than Rajan or I have....and should use it ASAP.
Meanwhile , Rajan and I shall proceed with whatever little we can do
for our beloved Goa.
Those who love Goa with the passion we do will certainly understand
us . Those who are in this for their personal benefits and ego's can
continue to berate us. We shall learn from the justified criticism and
treat the unjustified with a combination of amusement and pity.
luv and regards,
anand
( Dr Anand Virgincar )
