The reality on the ground is totally, absoulutely and certainly different.
Here we are not talking of susegad in the actual sense , we are not compalining , we are addressing an issue to have it heard , the world is getting more technologically well equipped to handle such applications be it fraud or otherwise , be it visa's or passports, we cannot be singing the same song of fraudlent stories for years , hence the delay in getting our nationality legalised. I have visited the website be it in english and portuguese for six months now and yet nothing is happening,i have written mails to them yet nothing has happened no reply , they do not even acknowledge your mail, i only hope they do not think even the mails are fraudlent and hence do not want to respond. Nothing has changed , everything is the same be at the Portugal consulate in Goa or portugal , whether they have a website or a satellite or a GPS or a VPN it's the same story,. I am not complaining i have done my bit and am still doing it , if we don't complain then we are sussegads if we complain we are also susegado, so what is the new catch word for us then? Goans who are settled in Portugal should help fellow goans to find out and expedite in sorting out the pending applications. Just like all other communities help each other. Those who are victims of such incidents are free to complain , but those Goans based in Portugal and who have the capacity to help fellow goans should willingly and unconditionally help otherwise if one analyses the situation complaining about the incident by trying your level best is termed as Susegad, but those having the capacity to help but are not doing anything and only dictating i guess they too fall in the same slot.
