• [Goanet] A day of A Day of celebration, a lifetime of silence It has become customary to dedicate a single day each year to honour the elderly — Grandparents’ Day, Senior Citizens’ Day — moments marked by speeches, floral tributes, and public praise. Dignitaries salute them, functions are held, and their contributions are ceremoniously acknowledged. But behind the curtain of celebration lies a harsh truth — many grandparents are not honoured in their own homes. Once the heartbeat of the family, they are now often ignored, seen as burdens weighed down by illness, fragility, or fading relevance — unless, of course, they carry a pension. Innumerable elders are pushed to old-age homes, not out of choice but compulsion — outcasts in houses they built with their sweat and sacrifice. These homes, though comfortable and social, are a reminder of society’s failure. Their laughter echoes with longing; their hearts ache for the warm chaos of family, not clinical comfort.

• [Goanet] Fathers Father’s Not in the Limelight Father’s not in the limelight, it’s true, Though he gives his all, without feeling blue No medals pinned, no songs are sung, Yet he labours long, his praises unsung. He holds the fort when days are tough, His silent love, steady and rough. From morning rush to bedtime tale, He walks beside through storm and gale. In modern homes, the roles have changed, Not by tradition, but love rearranged. Working couples now share the crown— One lifts the other when feeling down. Though mothers shine with grace and might, Fathers too deserve the light. Their love may not always loudly sound, But in every child, their strength is found The world sings praises of a mother’s grace, Her love, her warmth, her selfless embrace. But in the shadows, calm and mild, Stands the father—strong, composed, and styled. He’s rarely shown in media’s eye, No poems, no posts to glorify. Yet day by day, without a frown, He lift Nelson Lopes

• [Goanet] Worthy of Praise and Remembrance As we journey through life, there comes a time when we pause and reflect—wondering if we have any true friends whose presence we can genuinely cherish. I do not speak here of those we may have helped in their most crucial moments. Sadly, experience often shows that those who have benefited most from our kindness are the very ones who forget it first. But we must never allow our actions to be guided by expectations of gratitude, return favors, or lifelong indebtedness. True generosity has no hidden motives. Often, what appears as ingratitude may stem from the subtle discomfort people feel—guilt, shame, or even a quiet humiliation at having needed help. This is why we must never remind others, even silently, of our past kindness. The noblest way to respond is with grace and humility, simply saying, "It brought me joy to help." There is a quiet fulfillment that comes from acts of kindness—when we offer support not as charity but as an ex Nelson Lopes

• [Goanet] -A Journey Through the Changing Modes of Transport Looking back at my early years, most of my travels were on foot. As a school student, walking long distances—sometimes up to eight kilometers or more with my parents—was quite common. Bus rides were rare, mostly reserved for special occasions such as the feast of St. Francis Xavier at Old Goa. In those days, the iconic *Carreiras*—low-roofed, crowded buses—were the mainstay of public transport. Owning a bicycle was a luxury few could afford. In fact, I only bought my first bicycle after marriage, having earlier borrowed one from my brother-in-law. The first bus service between Cuncolim and Margao was such a novelty that people would run just to catch a glimpse of it passing by. It was so punctual that many villagers used it to tell time. A private car in our village was a symbol of great affluence; such owners could be counted on the fingers of one hand. After marriage, with help from a friend who sent me a foreign exchange Nelson Lopes
