[Goanet] Thank You (Life is too short)

2011-07-19 Thread Rabindra Pimenta

Dear Joegoauk,
 
Your message on 'Life is too short' has truly touched my heart.
Let me tell you today, that it is you who needs to be thanked by all of us for 
the wonderful work that you do without seeking any reward.
You are indeed a rare gem among persons, and we are so fortunate to be 
associated with you, even though you prefer to remain unidentified.
I for one will always remain indebted to you for the immense contributions you 
have afforded to Goa and Goans.  
Also I take it as a personal favour done to me, for I have gained a lot from 
your post, pictures, videos, wisdom, selflessness, etc.
How I wish there would be more Goans like you!!!
 
Warm regards and best wishes,
Rabindra Pimenta

Thank You (Life is too short)
 

Well, believe me or not, I wanted to say it for the last 2 years 
but somehow kept on postponing it until tomorrow.
 

Who has seen tomorrow ham?
 

Yes, ‘life is too short’ and I strongly believe that.
So, why ‘Tomorrow’ when you can do it ‘Today’?
 

So, here I am doing it today 
(coming in the centre stage with mic in my hand..)
 

I, on behalf of JoeGoaUk, like to thank each one of you for 
your support and well wishes.
I also like to apologise for not doing it all this time.
 

I know, there are many out there who may think they know JoeGoaUk,
 I like to thank them too.
To name a few, Cecil, FN, Minguel, Tomazin or TAG, Soter, Floriano, Rajan etc.
Thanks for respecting privacy ( .. for as long as it takes).
Or thanks for not bothering to know who JoeGoaUk is.
 

Thanks to Goanet for providing me the free forum or a stage to shout about.

Thanks to Gomantak Times (GT) and Herald (H) for giving me exposure 
particularly in the fields of Goan Herritage/Tradition and of Civic nature 
(publishing my photos, I mean).
Most recent publication both in GT & H

To thank or to name individuals, the list may be endless but always 
closer to my heart, for being my most valued clients, hope you will understand.
 

On this occassion, I must also thank Flickr and Youtube, again for providing a 
free platform to showcase our Goa to the world 
(including Goans spread all over the globe). 
Also, thanks to Yahoo & gmail.
 

I would also like to say SORRY if I ever said anything in bad taste or offended 
you in any way.
 

Thank you again for allowing me to do what I always wanted to do, my way.
 

He is something that you may always wanted to know..
 

How you do, what you do?
- Well, I think, I don’t know the full answer but this might help:
I have so much on my plate. Often, I feel, I work under pressure as 
there are so many projects pending be it a photo or video documentary 
or presentation on Goa’s life, heritage, traditions etc, Tiatr reviews and 
clips and off course some write ups of my style such as my point of view etc.

I know excessive work is not good for health, I wish our Con Menezes, (one of 
my valued net clients ) provide a link on this in his regular 
Health tips links on Goanet. But again, I may have to time..
So far, I think I am fit and thank God for that. 
Having said that, I know, even the fittest persons on earth 
don’t know what’s in store for them ‘Tomorrow’.
 

Why telling us about your personal matter?
- What if you stop hearing from me Tomorrow?
If I don’t tell you Today, you may never know it Tomorrow.
Hence, it’s Today.
 

Are you making or ever made money on you work?
- Well, as in court verdicts or post-mortem reports etc, I too like
to reserve my answer on this as I wish to come again on this separately.
But one thing I can say Today ‘My work never intended for money’ 
for my work is not a ‘business’. Nor I have any intentions to turn it into a 
business
 
Here is an advice – Your take it or not
If you wanted to do something good to your family, society etc. and 
you think you can do it Today, never postpone it to Tomorrow 
for we have not seen Tomorrow. 
Life is too short.

 
eg. (personal)
I had in my mind to do something good to my mother (I knew she would love it) 
but I kept on postponing.. And I never did it -
My mother died ( leaving an indelible mark in my mind or conscious 
for which i will never be able to forgive myself). 
See what I mean?
