Oscar: Someone mentioned on face book that he was the caretaker of two houses in Goa and that he is happy to give them if anyone wants to use. Look at theSee the cheek of this fella
Hi Oscar, Why do find it cheeky of him? Did you look into it? Or is it that you simply find it obtuse that he says "he is happy to give them if anyone wants to use."? Did you read give, as take it all. Perhaps he knows how to evict people. Perhaps such behavior is considered as being naive? Years ago, while I was in Goa, one Goan stalwart offered me a place overlooking a body of riverine expanse. Then, my emails went without receiving a response. Perhaps they went into Spam. Perhaps he felt he should not have made the offer, but to his credit he did. Btw, people like him are very savvy in property related matters, and are serious landlords. That place would have helped me a lot. I would have used it respectfully as a studio. He would have access to my skills, and artistic rigor for sure, and would have generated specific projects. I would have access to his collection and selling say picture books, unique Konkani abecedaries, posters, etc., would not have been an issues. My life could have changed (I and surely moved into other directions. Things may (I say may) have changed for him too (in my opinion), and I believe for others. When I would have packed up and moved on when told to. No rancor. No malice. I am happy that he asked. I know. I know that some of us simply want a little graciousness, even if it dissipates into "kaim nam." I do not know why, no need to speculate and valuate someones mind, but it is what it is. No judgements. And what I mentioned about hopes, are not misgivings. I often find a blanket confidence in the way we Goans see things. Now, as I have always maintained: Goans are not and will never be the same. One does not need to have a grip of sociology to understand this. So help me understand what you meant by seeing cheekines in what that person (fella) said? Go a bit deeper, bro? Tell me! —Venantius J Pinto On Fri, Jan 5, 2018 at 6:00 PM, Oscar Carmino Lobo <oscarde...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi George > > You may be right as I read somewhere yesterday some want free houses that > are broken down and abandoned :-) > > Someone mentioned on face book that he was the caretaker of two houses in > Goa and that he is happy to give them if anyone wants to use.
