Brilliant Stephen, the following: see first that his house must be in order and Goans live in better conditions. In Marathi we would say "gudgyat mendu” (brain in the knees). I recollect in Konkani: Baba, hencho mendu zorla/bazla!
It is very important, dare I say worthy, and perhaps even constructive to abuse in the colloquial languages. Satire, ridicule, lampooning, caricaturing, besides other forms of disparagement must be refined. This English/Fanglish does not quite cut it, but of course that is what we have. Their brains are wired differently as almost all conservative brains are. These are not the old conservatives who were quite dignified although the project was the same. None of these guys even by way of a feint, will ever say that their own did a number on Goa and are now thoroughly ensconced in Portugal. At that point it is green or other equally relevant pastures for their own. More power to Portugal and what it offers. Nothing again the Portuguese, but the hypocrisy on part of our own grates. In fact they are proud that those some of their own (ilk, mindset, community, and other religious proprieteries are having their cake and eating it too (including now, Monginis in Goa). Often the hypocrisy and attendant confusion simply waylays the thinking of our own who cogitate agitadely on this crap about giving up the Indian passport and other "coco meme" (yeah, another meme). What does anybody want? Why the dearth of ideas? Are we serfs bonded to an ongoing feudalism. What is this constant seeking of adrenaline highs to get people and countries to do this and do this. In plain Konkani, it it jittiapon, bamtteapon. Pride is a very complex quantum. Do not f*&^ with it. India is built on the backs of tribals, but at least now move on. Arise, otherwise there is no point of talking about Arjuna. Forgot, Karna and Aswathama? Zalem? I am sick and tired of having been told about Eklavya, meaning this is what honor and order is! Really? How many of the shitheads understand that such feudalism has no space in the today. No cars are being chucked, no bras burned, no spurning of brands. Kiteak? Tras zatolo? I am an US citizen. Soon to be in line for the ridiculous OCI. No choice, no excuses, and now I am proud to be ignored within India. BUT, I will not give up anything by way of how I encounter India, who I encourage, and what I exchange with its minds. Other should take a flying f*&%. So will someone tell me that I should not obtain/ or heaven forbid attempt to obtain the OCI. Nothing tires me more than some of our asses who will say that no matter what they did not give up the citizenship. Screw you. Do you even get people' reality? Dukrac nesoun machilant (netoun) kazarak vortale Dukran chikol polloun marli udki rebbdant. Dukor to dukor. Dukran dukra bhasen kelem. Osli ghot henchi. As I slowly resurrect myself from extenuating circumstances, I AM THINKING of how I can possibly design products on the lines of our identity, of course, erstwhile of otherwise! True. This is something that others if they are interested and damaged enough should be contemplating on too. We HAVE TO USE various forms of expression, including murals, clean spaces, community spaces, poetry readings, music, to show the F*&%heads that hardly a handful among them have a grip on their own so-professed identity. I am very much a product of Hindu culture, and I know that is a very broad term. But, it pisses me off that many, including myself ARE BEING pushed to stoop lower and lower. No people should stomach that. No self-respecting woman should contemplate falling in love with these a%^holes. No artist of any persuasion should relent. —Venantius J Pinto On Fri, Jan 15, 2016 at 7:31 PM, Stephen Dias <[email protected]> wrote: > PORTUGAL APOLOGIZING FOR COLONIAL RULE IS A > SOLUTION? > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > In one of the section of Press our Goa Minister for PWD and Transport Mr. > Dhavalikar has voiced his opinion ( today news) that Portugal must > apologize to Goans for colonial rule. > Who authorized him to say that?
