Dears,
This is one view point we would all do well to read. The truth is slowly
revealing itself: see it unfold in the days to come ...till the Regional Plan
for Goa is unvieled. The likely date is Saturday 30 August, 2008. Three things
happen that day 1. the Monsoon session of the Goa Assembly concludes and 2. it
is the last weekend before Ganesh Chaturthi ...a day when people start
migrating to their Mul gaons to celebrate the festival and 3. schools break for
holidays
These three points are very useful in minimising the chance of an instant
reaction against the Regional Plan 2021.
Soon the masks will peel off and the truth will reveal itself.
It is my earnest endeavour to see that the GBA is NOT the same as KPA once
more. Your support will help. If there is no support, it will not deter me from
doing what I know to be right. I would rather sleep as a pauper with just a
xendri and bedsheet on the floor, but not toss without sleep on a feathered
mattress in an airconditioned house. I count Roland Martins [GOACAN] and Soter
D'Souza [CPR-PS], fellow alumni in St.Britto High School, Mapusa-Goa, as two
others who are as willing as I. There are afew others ... not many ... in the
GBA who would do likewise for the sake of the land they love, GOA.
The time to support is NOW. Success always has a thousand fathers, Failure dies
alone. We often abort "Success" thinking it is Failure [often an euphemism for
the "girl child"] .... as six million couples do annually in India and as a
couple was trying in the High Court recently in the 25th week of pregnancy when
the Indian law permits it up to the 20th week only ..... and most religions do
not allow it at all.
The GBA is not a Failure. I will do my best to prevent its miscarriage ... or
abortion on the advice of a doctor who, admittedly, is not quite sure. The
parents must own up responsibility for their action. The child was not
conceived by the doctor who monitored its growth ....and issued periodic
reports.
Mog asundi.

Today, the Editor of Navhind Times is attempting to tear down the GBA
in his article The Great Goan
Illusion-http://www.navhindtimes.com/story.php?story=2008081210 giving
analogy of children fighting in Kitchen.
"coincidently" the article name rhymes with article -THE GREAT GOAN
UPRISING published in Herald -
http://navendushirali.blogspot.com/2008/05/apologies-for-bad-resolution-will-try.html
Very painful to see, that the only united opposition to real estate
and illegal mining is speculated for a breaking down in eyes of
citizens.
I wonder if this was a master stroke by real estate n mining lobby,
involve the GBA in RP draft, spread the rumour of sell outs, attack
the credibility of the main leaders, result, the sharpest arrows is
now withdrawn. (Reminds me Chanakya's Arthashastra)
Both Jesus and Ram always stood as for Apology, restitution and love.
Somewhere there is Gandhism missing in each one of us. I hope this
forum unites in spite of all individualistic ideologies; there is a
bigger cause we need to focus on,
3 big battles awaits us, The Real Estate Lobby, SEZs that don't meet
local aspirations, and the super finals against Illegal Mining. Each
one of them becomes more powerful every time we disintegrate and tear
down credibility of each other. We know that Goa is 0.1% of India
Geographic area, for them its highest premium property, lowest cost of
minerals, and they only thing that can stop them is us, the citizens
of Goa.
Our generation, lies on threshold to see whether Citizens of Goa
remain as united as these Lobbies,
"Wrong will always remain wrong, even if everyone does it. Right will
always remain right, even if no one does it."
Jai Hind,
