Miguel,
Thanks for your feedback Miguel, I am forwarding your note to Manohar so
that he can clean up on his past record and not make the same mistakes
again.
Regarding IIT admissions from Goa, I dont think Luizinho Faleiro's
introduction of English in the schools this year would result in six
sucessful IIT Joint Entrance Exam candidates this year. It takes time for
such moves to manifest themselves. Of course it will help stuff the IITs
with Goan students in the future. It was probably the excellent example set
by an IITian becoming Chief Minister of Goa in the past that must have
propelled these six students to set their sights for an IIT career ! We
should definitely aim for more than six Goans getting into IIT per year in
the future !
In the US too, they first give the computers to the Science-oriented
students and colleges/schools, then Commerce / Business and finally the Arts
students who mainly use it to surf the net and for word processing. So I
think the Goa Government had got its priorities in the right order. What a
terrible waste of resources it would be to give computers to Arts students
first and not the Science students !
Please send me a copy of the VCD. With my extensive knowledge of Goa History
and the Catholic Church in Goa history I may be able to edit it. But I am
surprised when Goans brag they are descendents of the Portuguese and not
know any thing of Goa's rich history before the Portuguese !
As I mentioned in my previous email, unlike other disciplines, the
Metallurgists from the IITs hold a dominant position in the world - In the
US greater than 1 in 2 metallurgists are IIT graduates. So Manohar did the
right thing by opting for Metallurgy and returing to Goa. Whereas I had to
come to America and get stuck here with my Electrical Engineering degree !
Also despite his shortcomings (if there were any during his first two terms
as CM), I think Manohar has learnt his lessons and with his past experience
and his fine intellect, he is uniquely qualified to become Chief Minister of
Goa in May !
This was excellent feedback Miguel ! May be you should meet with Manohar and
discuss these issues. May be he would even consider you for a cabinet post.
We Goans want the very best in Governance for our fledgling state, Miguel -
the GOAN GAON GOON CHORS of Congress who are making a GAAN of Goa should be
packed off for an early retirement or even imprisoned for their atrocities -
these include FATHER and SON Rane and the UNHOLY TRINITY of Mickey Pacheco,
Joaquim and Churchill Alemao !
Enjoy Your Chicken Dobrada at Ernesto's (I dined there too this past
December and really enjoyed their Chicken Dobrada !) and think of the Dobrad
Shanno who will soon be Chief Minister of our Great State of Goa ! Viva Goa
Dourada !

Dear Carmo,
Perhaps, you have forgotten that Mr. Manohar Parrikar has been the Chief
Minister of Goa TWICE in the past. During both his terms as CM, NOT A
SINGLE student from Goa could enter any IIT. That was spread over five
years...and not a single entrant in IIT. During last year, half a dozen
students did.
This IITian ran scared of re-introducing English in the Primary Schools
to undo the error of 1992-93. This year Luizinho Faleiro mustered the guts
to do it.
Parrikar gave computers selectively to only Science students first and
then to students of Professional colleges. Now he is fishing in murky
waters as the present Government struggles to gather funds to give
computers to students he left out...and will now graduate from college.
Parrikar produced a bogus history VCD through the Education Dept. while
he was the CM and Education Minister. He did not have the courage to give
copies of the dubious VCD even to his Ministers.
There were protests and demonstrations by pseudo-Nationalists against
the Fontainhas Festival the last time it was held, alongside the IFFI in
November, 2005. Who inspired them is common knowledge. In the election
year, and dependency on catholic votes, no such protests are observed. What
happened to pseudo-nationalism this year?? It is inconvenient, no??
So, on what basis are you making the prognosis? With an IIT in
Metallurgy, Parrikar is perhaps best placed to advise the Coppersmiths in
his Kansarvaddo neighbourhood. Even there, he may find himself
inexperienced. So there.
As for "Dobrad" , give me "Chicken Dobrad" at Ernesto's [ Clube Vasco da
Gama], Panaji, any day.
Viva Goa.
Miguel

Hi Miguel,
We have a lot of Dhedd Shannos in Goa and yet very few Goans in IIT. That
is why you are way off mark by classifing Manohar Parrikar as a Dhedd
Shanno.
He stands head and shoulders above all Goa Politicians today in terms of
political, administrative skills and intellectual capacity. He is at least
DOBRAD SHANNO if not more !
When an IITian is Chief Minister of Goa, he understands IT and
the needs of the IT industry. Then all foreign and Indian IT firms will
flock to Goa and provide high paying jobs for Goans. Then we will have
surely attained Goa Dourada (Golden Goa) ! Its that simple ! One does not
need to be a rocket scientist to understand that !

In Konkani we have a term for a "super smart" person; Dhedd shanno. Never
has anyone said that a 'dhedd shanno' is better than a "shanno"....at least
not in my presence.
Viva Goa.
