In resonse to Floriano's and Carmen's below posts :
It is truly shocking tolearn from Carmen that "breaking the barrier of 1000
signatures in the Goanet link petition for the protection of our Western Ghats
is proving to be more difficult thanbreaking the sound barrier!"When the need
of the hour today is unity and we have nothing to lose to preserve our heritage
and do something positive and concrete, most Gaons seem to talk big, give
sermons, criticize, ridicule etc. but the harsh reality is when they have to
stand up and be counted they run away and are aloof. It seems that it does not
bother them so long as it does not happen in their own backyard but in others'
backyards. They foolishly dont realize that today it is others' turn while
tomorrow it may be their own. With this apathy and unless we reject the crab
mentality and be united, Goans will have no one to blame but themselves as just
like the East Indians in Mumbai, Goans lose their identity in Goa." It is
high time Goans wake up and give up their sussegad and
aloof attitude.Camilo Fernandes

Goan community.Unless it is for parties, weddings, birthday celebrations ....
for free boozing and hogging.Otherwise???Goans are mercenaries. Each one to
himself and Goa for all, including ghantis.And the punch line is:The so called
'catholic goans' is not a community at allexcept for funerals and feasts ( as
you said, of all saints in HEAVEN)Cheers to the NON-COMMUNITY GOANS.florianoPS:
Didn't you know that GOEMKARANCHER DEVA-CHEM MALDISSAUM PODLAM MHUN???Just the
thing that stops them from getting together for a 'good common cause'.And this
is what my late dad had to say to the local carpenter when he had flopped on a
job." Zanoi mureh 'Gunulea' ! Tumcher carpinterancher deva'chem maldissaum

!---------------------------------------------------------------------------Breaking
the barrier of 1000 signatures in the Goanet link petition for theprotection
of our Western Ghats is proving to be more difficult thanbreaking the sound
barrier!All over the world, Goans as a community seem to be quick at
celebratingtheir ?Goaness? with dinners and dances and picnics, and endless
feastscelebrating every saint in the heavens above. Moreover, members of
thisforum in particular spend a lot of time writing
and reading copious texts ona huge range of subjects from our heritage,
history, religion, culture,medicine, corruption ?you name it, and we read about
it here?.Carmen Miranda
