TidBits.007 ( Oh Sonia-ma-ji! Why have you forsaken us?) No sooner we got the wind of your passing through Goa, we had dreams. Our ma-ji must have made up her mind at last to change the leadership of us 'Pack of Wolves'. And she must be bringing a plaque with a special name printed on it. Its mine, its mine. No! its mine. And we could'nt sleep for the desire to be the first in line to greet you at the far far away Dabolim airport and stick out our necks so you could choose the one to honour. And some of us, the front runners, were cock sure it was going to be one of us, that the others stayed away with grumpy faces. But then, we were left holding the special smiles we had prepared, the bouquets and garlands of choicest flowers that we had brought for you . Nary a passing glance we deserved from you as you so elegantly switched your aircrafts and vanished from sight. With our feet heavy as if filled with lead, with the load of our special smiles and the flowers we carried, we barely managed to limp back to the safety of our cars and beat a hasty retreated lest the onlookers give us the reception of Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!. Oh! Its for us, its for us, those of us who remained behind with grumpy faces knew so well, that we made it to the far far away Dabolim airport in record time to stick our neck to claim the prize, when ma-ji returned from Karwar. And we also noted that the shameless Raja of Satari who has lost his faculty of recognizing what shame is, and who has sold his soul to the MGP and his body to the BJP brought up the end of the line-up once again. But we never never even dreamt that our dear ma-ji would literally take the scourge of India, Mr. Praveen Togadia, seriously, and bark at us like she did, a bark full of scorn and contempt, before vanishing in thin air once again. "Why are you here? You first unite yourselves and work for the people of Goa" That the bark could convey such words of wisdom! Hear Ye, Hear Ye, the men and women of Congress of Goa. The next time you stick out your necks to be adorned with the plaques, it could be far worse than the bark. It could be the bite. Well done, Sonia-ji, well done. You are learning fast. Dear Sonia-ji. You were expected to listen to the sound advice of the people of Goa, not during the 2002 Assembly Elections, but from the time of the 1999 Assembly Elections. We begged of you to dump the corrupt and the scamsters. But you not only did not do that, but you also gave sanctuary to the corrupt, the scamster, the traitor of Goa and its tongue, the guy who your dear husband had humiliated so bad, the white maned lion, Ramakant Khalap. That you have to resort to barking at the people who have ruined your party's chances in Goa, comes too late in time. You must realize that none, repeat, none, who profess allegiance to Congress in Goa, and who are on the top rung of the party are capable of uniting and working for the betterment of Goa and Goans. And should you think of replacing this abominable stench in the party with the ones from the party's rank and file, please think twice over. Those that follow fit perfectly well in the contingency plans of the masters who have groomed them to take over and who will then dance to the master's tune for a rule by proxy. And worst still, these new players to be are far far more industrious and voracious than the masters themselves. Sad to say that your party's rope in Goa has knotted so bad that nothing short of cutting it out and throwing it away the pieces will solve the problem. And you will be surprised to see that this rope has taken the un-imaginable twists and turns around itself and around the MGP and the BJP that it will be difficult to know which one is which, for it was necessary for your party's rope to draw nourishment from the others to survive, and still is. In doing so, your party's stand has been compromised and your party leaders have become pawns in the hands of the Goa BJP which can only thrive from their subjugation and impotence. Sad to say, the situation is such that you will have to use a special torch to cull out the real congress-men or the congress-women at heart. Most of them will have the lion's tail, camouflaged and well hidden from sight, and which comes out a whipping when the mergerist's interests are jeopardized. If you really want to test these miseralilises, all you have to do is to command them to be faithful to your dear late husband's dreams that Goa should remain Goa with Konkani as its sole state language. Let them, in one voice, declare that the Goa Language Act will be modified to remove all mention of Marathi in its text. And if they do it, which they won't, you still need to cut their throats anyway, for they will be doing it only to save their skins and their kodels. The worst choice you could have made to put the reigns of your party, is in the traitorous hands of the Raja of Satari with his lion's tail trailing half a mile behind him where-ever he goes. And the next time you want to hand over the reigns of your party in capable hands, please check-out for the far too familiar lion's tail. Cheers Floriano
