Goa prays for Manohar Parrikar It takes a lot of will-power, commitment, dedication and love for the homeland to do what Our Honorable Chief Minister has just done, heading from the Lilawati hospital ICU to the Goa Assembly. This is the kind of stuff which we might have watched in Stallone's Rambo or the Die Hard kind of Hollywood movies. Manohar Parrikar has shown once again why he is regarded as one of Goa's tallest leaders and is loved by so many. Whatsapp and Facebook were flowing with his pictures, videos and messages demonstrating the kind of love and respect that Goa has for him. In his budget speech, he was very graceful, humbly thanking all who stood and prayed for him. Mr. Parrikar is no doubt a workaholic who enjoys working 16 -17 hours a day, but it is time he takes it a little easy. Goa needs him now more than ever. Some much needed rest to get back to full fitness will do him a load of good. In the history of Goan politics which has been dominated by corruption, money and muscle power, Manohar Parrikar with his charm, simplicity and work ethics has stood as the odd man out. Goa prays for his speedy and complete recovery.
