Our language was lost abroad when our skilled and educated ancestors who learnt to read and write in English travelled with Portuguese and Indian travel documents from the house of Mother Goa to Africa mainly to oil the British Administrative Colonial machinery, Their off spring were brought up learning and speaking the Queens English as our elders felt this would bring about better employment prospects rather than amche bas (mother tongue). Even today somebody else is always considered better by our sorpotelised society, its in the Goan DNA. I have to ask that Sorpotel, a peasant dish of Portugal, is our King Dish, what does this make us? Whatever your academic background your DNA is still the same and a large percentage of our people are still employees looking for work rather than employers providing work. World Goa Day is an opportunity on one day out of 365 for organisers and individuals families and friends to attempt speaking our language and practice our culture and heritage not forgetting our amazing cuisine and dances. This is not difficult if you have an idea in the morning and can get it up and running by the evening. The real world has leaders and followers. However in our case our leaders are up against fizzlers a bit like the Tanti (egg)and Choriz (Goa Sausage) situation. Let me explain, to make a Portuguese omelette one would get gaunti (local) eggs from the Tiantia Pai, bell pepers, tomato and onions from the Verdur Kann and for added zing Chorizo from the choriscars. The hen lays the egg and lives another dis (day) to resupply ,The Verdur Kann who supplied the tomato, onions and bell peppers also moves on but the Dukor(PIG) has to die and give its life away for that added Zing to satisfy the tastebuds of our people. Our sincere volunteers in committee work around the world striving for the betterment of our society may sometimes feel like the Dukor. Decisions, decisions. when the Idea of World Goa Day was proposed around 1992 (twenty three years ago) in Lisbon by the Late Jorge and Livia De Abreu and seconded by a lady in California it took ten years of toil by Rene Baretto to his credit working alone and spreading the word to have the first World Goa Day event recorded in August 2000. Are we only good for dancing? Dates are important, this year 2015 and it is 15 years since the millennium of this century and 23 years since the idea of World Goa Day was conceived. As I did not make the “Who Died” list on 29 October 2012, can I ask our people with acumen to fast forward and stamp out the fizzlers like cockroaches under our feet to enable our community that is dying from inside out to sizzle and breathe freely as a community once again. Start with World Goa Day August 2015. The Twenty Fifth Anniversary is round the corner. Fizzlers can be spotted sometimes power dressed as volunteers and appear to be nicey nicey people at various entry gates collecting money especially where Revenue and Expenditure is unregulated and the income extracted from patrons goes to self-enrichment on untaxed income in the name of Charity as long the eh “who cares” I’m too busy with better things to do rather than doing things better attitude amongst the majority of our people continues, feeding the greed and lust for money will be of no benefit to any organisation or charity as the pot is always empty, as good as throwing money like water into a bucket full of holes.Click the link, turn up the volume and enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElLpKewnxp4 Melvyn FernandesThornton Heath, Surrey, United Kingdom21 June 2015 =========================================================What does it feel like making a Pig of yourselfie click on link 2C 1:14PIGS SNORTING GRUNTING SNIFFLING SNUFFLING PIG SNOUTyoutube.com
