Excerpt from 'GOEM ROSTAD', a one-act play by Pundalik Asnodkar (Translated from the orginal Konkani.)
----------- After a few pegs.... Pascoal: "This BJP is going to finish us Catholics!" Damu: "So what do you want? That Congress to come back into power? After they have looted and plundered our money all these years?" Pascoal: "At least they are not saffron. They take money from everyone. Unlike your BJP who only takes money from you guys?" Damu: "What you mean 'you guys'." Pascoal: "Konkne! Only you Konkne can get anything done now!" UK-Returned-Jacob: "Arre! Pascu ! Anyone who lives in the Konkan is a Konknno. Even you and me are Konkne." Everyone: "Oh! Shut up Jacob and have your urrack!" A few sips later... Pascoal: "And what about this POTA bill?" Damu: "What about it?" Pascoal: "It is meant to put down us Catholics. So now we have to take Government permission to go to Pota. Goa Goverment and the Kerala Government." Damu: "So the rule applies to everyone." Pascoal: "Yes, but everyone knows that mostly Catholics go to Pota" UK-Returned-Jacob: "You idiots! That Pota is different from this POTA" Everyone: "Oh! Shut up Jacob and have your urrack!" A few sips later... Damu: "I heard some guys from Moira are starting their own party and are going to stand for elections" Pascoal: "I heard that too. Some Suraj Party or something like that" UK-Returned-Jacob: "You guys know nothing here. All the Goans in UK have heard of the Goa-Su-Raj Party that is committed to good governance and has a transparent Constitution on the Internet and is made up of upstanding citizens. These are the guys you should vote for." Everyone: "Oh! Shut up Jacob and have your urrack!" Pascola: "Arre! Mhambre get us another half-bottle of your freshest urrack and a small Limca!" --------------- Greet your loved ones in Goa with flowers! http://www.goa-world.net/expressions/ EXPRESSIONS - The Flower Shop World famous all over Goa! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet =================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
