Thank you Mr Stephen Dias. Unfortunately I was not able to complete my message 
that day.

Those ugly casinos have, for sure, changed the
beautiful landscape of our gentle Mandovi to a bizarre satanic serpentine river 
where heads of serpents under those horrendous names like Daddy etc etc raise 
their ugly heads. Those garish ugly lights in the evenings do not add to the 
allure, instead retract everything that was beautiful and peaceful about our 
river which we were proud of.  One must make a survey to figure out how many 
Goans are actually working there. I lived at the Institute de Nossa Senhora de 
Piedade many years ago. This was located two blocks away from the Mandovi hotel 
(incidentally the only tall building in Panjim for several years).  After 
dinner our hostel warden would take us for a walk up to Campal (it was so safe) 
and except for the gentle street lights, we could only see the twinkling lights 
from Betim across the river. 

There was a time when visitors from all over the world came to Goa for peace 
but today the very core of peace has been destroyed in every way possible.... 
in the villages of north Goa deep in the night loud honking of vehicles,  
zooming bikes at top speed stripped of silencers, loud music. Not only has 
peace been destroyed, the very core of  our  culture is being fragmented. Only 
God can help Goa now from the stranglehold of these monsters.
