Victory Of Good Over Evil
In school, I was taught that Diwali was a celebration of victory, of good over evil, and further confirmed by my Hindu friends, so do most of us believe that good will prevail over evil no matter how long it takes, but the happenings of the last 24 hours has withered away my faith and made me to cry "when Lord, when is it all going to happen ? Going through the news papers this morning, it really baffled me to note that Monster Rat had scored 11 out of 11 at the Taleigao Panchayat election, there was no doubt that after all the burning issues, he had to go through, he would fight tooth and nail to prove that he was still a force to recon with, but the margin of victory was beyond comprehension. It has indeed made me feel that Goa is sinking in quicksand with no effort being made to move out of it, only too happy to be swallowed my the muck around and still happily grinning from ear to ear. How naïve can we Goans be ? Have we not learnt our lessons yet, or have we still to learn something even after all that's been happening in Goa ? I am most certainly disappointed at what has happened but has drawn on my reserves and pledged to fight even harder for Goa and I still believe we can do it. I sure hope all Goa lovers will make greater efforts to over come this setback that we have brought on ourselves. My plea to all Goa loving activists and general public wake up and stay awake, let it not be said that Goa was burnt while Goans played their harps. This is a good lesson for us all, not to take things for granted, looks like people of Taleigao have sold their souls to the devil for whatever reasons, even though there should be no good reason enough to sell one own mother, we have to think hard and come up with answers to over come this setback and stay focused, against all possible cynical assumptions, would I be wrong to assume that we still can achieve our goals of a clean, green and corruption free Goa ? To achieve this, come next election, we will have to burn all these "narkasur's" so that good be victorious over evil.
