Dear Mario bab!
I am sorry but I agree to disagree with your comments with respect to
your opinion.
I would like to ask you a question, please?
We have waited for 48 years and 8 months; can we not hang on to hear
Tony Luis’ speech even if it takes 2 hours to read? Many winners give up
at the finishing line.
Floriano bab – Mea culpa in advance should you get a knee jerk reaction
to my response and comment. I do not want to loose another cyber
acquaintance who is very important to me.
You said:: “I sincerely believe that a lot of people holding placards
and banners would be tired with some taking off quietly and temporarily
for a peg of feni somewhere” Do we always need to keep our spirits up by
pouring spirit down? We Goans need to give better image to the rest of
India as we have received a lot of bad publicity in bollywood films.
Has anyone stood up with any film directors so far? Still sussegad even
if we are portrayed like that. Another reason for someone from other
states i.e. Andra Pradesh, Maharastra to get Ministers post and be our
leaders. I agree with you wholeheartedly that our dream has been “wet
dream” and I would like to add a word to that “Wet poisonous dream”
Having said that, I strongly believe that Goasuraj should be given a
chance (I reiterate again that I have already spread the word with my
childhood friends and others through personal contact) and perhaps a few
more new Goan parties should give birth to keep the pressure on. We
should also have more people standing as Independent Candidates and both
work from cradle to grave to show we are very serious this time failing
which we will loose whatever is left. I seize this opportunity to thank
Carmen Miranda, Matanhy Saldanha, Eduardo Faleira, Minguel Braganza, Dr.
Oscar Rebello Bevindo Colaco, Arwin Mesquita, Benedict Lobo, Rene
Barretto, Basilio Magno and many countless Goans in Goa and overseas who
have done their part in various ways with whatever they can. It is now
the turn of the rest of us to play our part/s. Inform our family and
friends in Goa to vote for Goa party such as stated above.
Synergy and the lesson of the geese in a V formation is very important
for us Goans at this critical time in every way and for. It is also time
for 365 days unity not just one day. We need to change direction
together like the geese.
Thank you Mario and Floriano for your thoughts which if not expressed
would deprive me and others from giving their thoughts albeit some on
the people on this forum have been sitting on the fence, reading,
laughing for reasons best known to them yet we have giving this
opportunity to be involved to have a say.
Coming down from the fence or bolcao and joining in the V formation is
important and it is not late.
She will be coming down the mountains when she comes; she’ll be
bringing sanna vodde when she comes will be a reality when we have Goa
for Goans.
