Re: [Goanet] Goanet Digest, Vol 5, Issue 1215 - Respect our Right to Identity

Bernice,
The reason why the riff - raff of India just march into Goa is that they can 
continue their nuisance without any hindrance from the locals who have 
become easily purchasable commodities. In fact migrants will literally throw 
you a challenge that they can get anything done in Goa. I just feel amused 
that our markets are entirely controlled by guys who do not know a word of 
konkani. Besides Mumbai, I have not seen this phenomena anywhere else in the 
country.
Recently a friend of mine, an the IAS retired, was asking my opinion on 
buying property in Goa. I just ignored her. She got the message.
Forget our politicians, our goans are for sale. Wasn't the former GBA 
convenor classifying a Delhiite as a goan?

Agreed Arwin, our identity is very important to us, but each and every Goan 
must also understand that .  When it comes to selling their property it is not 
the money factor which should be the main attraction.  "Dont sell your soul to 
the devil for money".  For every proud Goan, this beautiful state is our heart 
and soul.  No matter in which part of the world we are  "You can take a Goan 
out of Goa, but you cannot take Goa out of him".
 
I have a lot of close non-Goan Indian  friends.  All are very interested in 
buying/owning property in Goa but the main reason is only "Exploitation".  
Believe me, these are sharks. They have no feeling for our part of our land, 
our culture or our identity.
 
Another reason why  They love Goa is because (thanks to the powers that be) it 
is totally indisciplined.  They feel you can do what you like and get away with 
it.  Where can you find a place which is so beautiful and so indisciplined?.

Another Saturday, a stormy Saturday in Goa with squally winds accompanied by
rains in the afternoon in Goa. Time for Goanet Intros once again.

Today, it is my pleasure to introduce a prolific blogger and poster, not
only on Goanet but also in most of Goa's dailies, Mr. Arwin Mesquita.

Arwin who hails from Colva in Goa is a Senior Brand Manager at Nautica
Middle East and is resident in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Arwin is professionally well qualified with an MBA under his belt.

An outgoing personality, naturally one finds him socializing when he finds
time away from blogging and posting on the net and bombarding Goa's dailies
about his concerns for Goa. He has addressed his social concerns for Goa by
giving two presentations on (the unique) Goan Identity in the UAE
specifically in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Perhaps his connection with the Jaycee
movement prodded him to go this route. So much is he concerned about the
Goan Identity that he has created a Facebook group (
http://www.facebook.com/Goan_Identity)
)
(Please do visit the site and leave a comment) While in the Gulf, Arwin has
not forgotten his village and found time for his village club when he was in
Kuwait - the Colva United Centre where he has held office as treasurer.

His hobbies also include reading and walking and he is deeply interested in
retail, world affairs, business. Arwin, a day has only 24 hours or 86, 400
seconds. Are there enough of them to cover all this activities, besides eat,
sleep and relax? You really are something to cram all these activities in a
day!

A widely traveled man of the world, Arwin has been a globe trotter
literally. He has traveled to the US, UK, France, Italy, Greece, Cyprus,
Austria, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Syria, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman,
Qatar, He has done his schooling up to the Higher Secondary stage in Kuwait.
His extensive travel to the Gulf countries has given him a good grasp of the
Middle East.

When I asked Arwin which country he liked the best, he mentioned Austria and
Czechoslovakia whic
