The mail or the ad has clear message which can be summed up as follows: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=430291409&size=l
Lottery and a threat IF YOU DO YOU WILL WIN/RECEIVE SOMETHING LIKE CASH, POT OF GOLD ETC IF YOU DON'T (OR EVEN IF YOU DELAY) YOU WILL LOSE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE (INCLUDING JOBs or business losses etc.) So people are spending purely for winnings like lotteries or reluctantly spending due to the threat or fear of losing sons/wives etc or combination of both. I have received an email saying that Velsao Church on last Saturday 24th March, during the evening mass told the people not to believe or use such ads/letter etc viz Vailankini. Don't know if the same was told in the rest of the churches during their Sunday masses. However, I did copied to all at Bishop House on 22nd March but no commnents yet. If I were the authority, I would have immediately written to all Goan English dailies to stop taking such ads and at the same time appealing to the people in the press in the form of another ad or a press note. And only this will stop the 'nonsense' thus saving poor man's money. fyi, during the last 3 days, 23rd-25th March, Herald had in all 13 ads, GT had 6 & NT had 2 Total 21 Average now 7 per day. Another waste of Rs. 1,05,000 in just 3 days thus making our greedy newspapers richer. e.g. H is richer now by more than Rs.20,000 per day. previous 6 days, it was.. Quote: Today, I just picked up 6 issues (most recent ones) each of Herald, Gomantak times and Navhind Times and found the following: Herald 17 tickets GT 12 tickets NT 01 ticket Total: 30 tickets i.e. av 6 per day It's hard to believe, but it is true, please read here.. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=430291409&size=l [EMAIL PROTECTED] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ Konkani Songs, Goan Photos, Tiatr/Film VCDs, Bank interest rates etc etc (for updates etc click below) http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/files/ ___________________________________________________________ New Yahoo!
