[Goanet] Prank on my papa

[Pratap Naik]

PRANK ON MY PAPA
Today 06th March, is the 16th death anniversary of my papa Edwin Lawrence
Carvalho (24.02.1920 – 06.03.2005). He died at Pune but interred at Kalina
Church, Santa Cruz East, Bombay. He lived 42 years in Bombay (now Mumbai)
and loved it. He didn’t want to leave it, till I persuaded him to settle
down at our home.
I have many interesting anecdotes related to my papa. Today I will share
with you an interesting prank that I played on him as a boy while studying
in second standard. My papa was working in Bombay. My mama was living at
our newly adopted village Gangolli (South Kanara district then) with me, my
younger sister Genevieve and brother Valerian (the other two siblings
Florine and John were not yet born). Papa came for holidays once in two
years for 21 or 22 days. From Bombay he traveled by train to Miraj by broad
gauge, changed the train to metre gauge up to Harihar. From Harihar he
travelled by bus to Kundapura. Then crossed the broad river of Gangolli and
walked 600 metres to reach our home. It took him three days of tiring
journey one way. While going it was the worst. From Harihar to Bombay he
travelled without reservation in general compartment, at times standing day
and night!!!
When he came down for holidays, he brought us delicious cakes from Parsi
bakeries, Mumbai halva, variety of biscuits, cloth to stich clothes and
many other things. We were longing for his arrival. The communication was
only through inland letters of Indian post office. I posted mama’s letters
to papa and brought home our mail which was kept by the postman at Imam
Saheb’s grocery shop (Our house was away from the main road and the postman
refused to deliver our mail at home, so he was told to keep the letters at
the grocery shop) I had learnt the art and skill to read his letters to
mama and mama’s letter to him without opening them and without the
knowledge of mama! Those days inland letters partially could be read from
the side openings. Though I knew the content of their correspondence (no
romanticism but simple language to communicate the news), I pretended that
I am totally unaware of the content. I am confessing this act of mine for
the first time.
When I was studying in second standard papa came from Bombay. One morning
he told my mother that he would his visit parents and close relatives at
Kundapura and return in the evening. My mother jokingly said, “Fine. You
come for holidays from Bombay. Where can I go for holidays? Today I will go
to visit my parents at Trasi (6.5Km from our home), spend a night and
return tomorrow morning.” Papa at once retorted and said, “You can’t do
that, I have come out of love all the way from Bombay. You visit your
parents, when I return back. Besides, who will cook and take care of our
children?” Mama coolly replied, “About food, you need not worry. I will
cook the food and go. Children will stay at home during the day. At night
you take care of them.” “I know that you are joking and would not dare to
do such a thing.” papa said and left for Kundapura.
In the evening around 5pm mama went to our neighbour’s home. From far away
I saw papa coming home. I knew that papa loved my mama beyond words. He
wanted her physical presence at home all the time when he came down for
holidays. He was never tired to see her lovely face and to hear voice. I
called my sister and told my plan of prank to her and to tell papa that
mama has gone to Trasi to see her parents. Valerian was slow in speech then
and he did not learn to speak in words but only through hand gestures. I
instructed him too. I warned both of them not to reveal the truth,
otherwise I will punish them. They agreed out of fear.
When papa arrived, I served him coffee. He enquired about mama. I said that
she has gone to Trasi. He didn’t believe me. He asked my sister; she too
said the same thing. He asked my younger brother. He too said the same
through his hand gestures. But papa was not ready to accept our version. He
thought that mama is hiding somewhere in the house. He searched the entire
home. He could not find her. He thought that she must be hiding on the
house loft where we were stocking hay for the cattle. He asked me to bring
the torch (we didn’t have electricity at home and used kerosene oil lamps).
I gave him the torch. He asked me to hold the bamboo ladder and he climbed.
I too climbed the loft. He searched for mama on the loft and inside the
bales of hay. She was not there. Then once again he asked me, “Has really
mama gone to Trasi?” With a sad face and a low voice, I told him, “In the
morning mama told you that she would go to grandparent’s home for a day.
She left after preparing the food. You don’t worry. Let us say the angelus,
rosary, and night prayers. Then we shall have our supper before going to
sleep.” He began to sob like a child and said something like this, “Why did
she do this to me? I have come all the way from Bombay. Now how shall we
spend the night without her?” Like an actor I was

[Goanet] PANAJI’S VERY DECEITFUL MLA BABUSH MONSERRATE

[Aires Rodrigues]

Panaji MLA Babush Monserrate has betrayed us on the promised Health Center
at the Old Ribandar Hospital. When we met him on 9th October last year at
his office in Miramar he solemnly assured us that he would ensure that the
Health Center is speedily set up “by hook or crook” at the Old Ribandar
Hospital. Former Panaji Mayor Yatin Parekh was a witness to that meeting
and to all that was falsely promised.

We have been pursuing this Health Center issue at all levels of government
and will not rest till our Health Center becomes a reality.

For the last over two months Babush Monserrate has been dodging and
avoiding meeting us on this crucial issue.

Despite being warned by many, it was my grave error to trust Babush
Monserrate’s word on this issue. I take the entire responsibility for my
that error in judgment in having over trusted Babush Monserrate’s word.

Let our message to Babush Monserrate be loud and clear. He may have fooled
us by this fake and false promise but we will strive with all determination
to ensure that our much needed Health Center becomes a reality at the Old
Ribandar Hospital for catering to the medical requirements of Ribandar
residents and the neighbouring villages.

Babush Monserrate would do well in memorizing those words by Abraham
Lincoln “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the
people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the
time.”

[Goanet] IS PANAJI AN AWARD WINNER OR A STAGNANT EYESORE!

[Aires Rodrigues]

One wonders what were the parameters in adjudging Panaji for the top
honours in the Quality Life Index among small cities across India. The jury
perhaps was blindfolded or on a moonwalk. Panaji City which includes our
Ribandar sadly remains decaying with the situation worsening by the day due
to utter mismanagement coupled with rampant corruption and bad governance
at the scam ridden Corporation of City of Panaji (CCP).

The very vital Panaji market and our Kadamba Bus terminal continue to stink
and in very dire straits, while the St Inez and Rua de Ourem creeks persist
to be a horrible eyesore with our nostrils bearing the brunt of that
unbearable stench. The stagnation and neglect of vital infrastructure, the
environment and sustainable development is all too evident. Despite paying
exorbitant taxes the quality of life for the residents of Panaji has been
on a downslide with people now having to pay steep fees even to park their
vehicles.

The city’s gardens and parks are also in a despicable state. Less said the
better on the mounting garbage crisis. The coffers of the CCP should have
actually been overflowing but for reasons best known to all they are empty
or rather have been willfully emptied. The inaction of the authorities on
the over two decade old infamous multi crore Panaji market scam says it
all. The noise pollution from badly controlled traffic on pot holed
congested and dangerous roads with poor parking facilities and the menace
created by casinos continues unabated. Every year during the monsoons the
city floods due to lack of adequate drainage facilities.

Unless there is transparency and accountability in the working of the CCP
with Zero Tolerance to any scams, Goa’s capital city will languish as it is
with manipulated and stage-managed Awards only on paper.

And for Panaji’s Quality of Life Index to improve it is imperative that the
CCP should be led by a Mayor who himself is spotless and a knowledgeable
person with integrity and a vision.

It is also very crucial that we elect honest, competent, dynamic and
independent minded Corporators who have a vision permanently focused on
uplifting their wards and services to benefit the people, without being
puppets or slaves of their political bosses.

[Goanet] BABUSH MONSERRATE IS THE ONLY ROLLING STONE THAT HAS GATHERED A LOT OF MOSS

[Aires Rodrigues]

Babush Monserrate has over the years for personal and vested interests
hopped from party to party, while entering and exiting almost every
political party existent on Goa's political turf in search of greener
pastures or to feather his own nest.

To enable himself to breach every law possible with impunity, Babush
Monserrate has conveniently always aligned with the party in Power. And his
modus operandi while changing parties is to cross to the new party by
himself only and not enroll his Corporators and others in the new party he
joins. His trail of party hopping is usually littered with broken promises
and U-Turns to the electorate.

It was not for the first time that Babush Monserrate joined the BJP in July
2019, but as always, his Corporators in the CCP and the Taleigao Panchayat
members conveniently did not join the BJP. This suits Babush Monserrate
well as when he decides to join a new party the next switch over is always
swift.

Babush Monserrate may have publicly stated that his political retirement
will be in the BJP. But it should surprise no one if the frequent and
chronic party hopper soon abandons the saffron brigade for yet another
political pasture using the mass uprising against him by the BJP cadres as
an excuse.

Babush Monserrate’s cheap politriks and constant U-Turns at the expense of
the electorate will not always work. So will his fake and false promises,
with the promised Ribandar Health Centre being the latest. The hard working
and wise people of Panaji will ensure that the politician who likes to keep
one foot in each camp for personal gain may just as easily fall between two
stools. Let the 20th March 2021 CCP polls be the start of that reminder and
a positive force for the significant improvement of our decaying and
chaotic Panaji.

The old proverb “A rolling stone gathers no moss” has been proven wrong by
Babush Monserrate in having a ball at every political party he joined. But
history is set to be re-written at these CCP polls.

[Goanet] re; cow science

[eric pinto]

We cannot beat our countrymen. So we have to join them. Fifty years ago, I am 
told, a cow was seen in every Catholic,Mangalore yard. They are lovable and 
intelligent idiots. Let us switch to buffalo flesh. The majority do not care, 
but a shrillfringe has prevailed. Look how dick Trump won people over with the 
'muslim' rhetoric.
