I like your idea of not resting with the victory of not having the Tomatina in effect. I communicated with a cousin who lives in Spain - who told me that on account of the EU controlling the produce, the tomatoes go waste anyways. So I guess it's about a bigger issue on hand, about what this EU control of the produce is all about - which results in tomatoes going waste. Remember the Tourism Minister said they'd get tomatoes that are not rotten and not edible? The peg on which the Tomatina finally got cancelled (of course apart from people pressure which was the overwhelming force) is the wastage of food, be it at Karnataka or Goa. These organisers could in all likelihood reinvent the idea, if it not be in Karnataka or Goa, but in other parts of india, to say that they are using tomatoes that are certified to be not edible, thanks to mechanisms that will be set up like the EU's mechanisms - which as you see easily get aped in India. It's the same thing that happened with the food certifiying mechanisms - they, for instance, sent most small-time local potato chips-makers, even in Goa, out of the market. Worth pursuing. It just might open the Pandora's box and help the world see how the tourism industry with its innocuous face is also a means for spreading globalisation with tentacles that strike at our very existence and identity. albertina On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 8:53 PM, Miguel Braganza <braganza.mig...@gmail.com>wrote: > Dear Albertina, > > The "Sundown Tomatia Festival Goa 2011" mutated or transformed itself into > a "Music festival" without tomatoes thanks to the T.E.A.M. effort of Mario > & Muriel Mascarenhas and Nicholas Sequeira on the ground in Saligao, the > Botanical Society of Goa, GOACAN, and Bailancho Sad as organizations that > wrote letters to the Director of Tourism, GTDC, District Collector and > other authorities ....and the tremendous support by Maybushan Nagvemkar > [IANS], Bevinda Collaco [Target Goa], Glenn da Costa and Savio Rodrigues > [Goan Chronicle] with a little in the other newspapers, including the Goa > Doot that chipped in after the MLA of Saligao supported the opposition to > the proposed wasteful use of tomatoes.
