Re: Aitaracheo Katkutleo: Don Tonddanche Monis_People with two faces
Venantius, excellent translation, and quickly done.
Kudos to Lino Dourado.
Yes, indeed, we have such two-faced characters in our midst (some very
active on the Net). A recent example of this is the issue of the NRI Goans
Leadership Awards from the Gulf countries (including 1 from Delhi. Why was
she accomodated in this 'set-up' - yet another mystery and let's keep it for
another day)!
Chodd firngi bhas, haddank urta mas (Too many foreign language speeches
leave the bones with meat). We have the same guys who shed crocodile tears
for not 'honouring' the NRI Goans from the Gulf and when recently done
(although the transperency/ criteria is not yet very crystal clear, and the
RTI Act is the 'only' way to get to the subject - in a democracy), the same
herd is crying 'wolf' for not being clothed as the 'sacrificial' sheep for
the self glorifying bounty of events upheld as 'service' done for the
greater glory to Goans!
The Konkani proverb: Faz favor, kortten dhunvor (Too many speeches, but no
action worthy of its mention).
Lino, we look forward with abated breath to get hold of your collection of
'Aitaracheo Katkuleo' soon. And still, as always, awaiting for the next
episode, another Sunday of humour in Konkani !
