------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.casadegoa.org -------------------------------------------------------
Finally my hunch was confirmed. The original post was Carmo's invitation for dukors to leave Goa and come to Boca Raton, Florida. Previously Carmo wrote to inform us he is a big real estate guy in Boca, thanks to his vodlem bizziness. I am told that Boca is just like Goa; except there are no dukors and the mouth watering Chouricos and Sorpatel. Unfortunately the response to Carmo, the IIT Don, was like the story below which was recently sent to me. Like the story, Carmo should explain himself in greater detail, so that the rest of us can "sonzmotta murre". Perhaps Carmo should start writing in konglish. An old Italian Mafia Don is dying. He calls his grandson to his bed and says, "Lissin-a me. I wanna for you to taka my chrome-plated 38 revolver so you will always remember me." Grandson: "But grandpa, I really don' lika guns. Howzabout you leava me your Rolex watch innasted?" Mafia Don: "Shuddaup an lissin: Somma day you gonna runna da bizness.... You gonna have a beautifula wife, wid lotsa money, a biga home anna maybe a coupla bambinos. Somma day you gonna comma home an' maybe find you wife inna bed wit annudder man. Whaddaya gonna do then.....? Pointa to you watch an' say...'Times up!'?" On a more serious note, now that the election in Goa is over, Goanetters should give the elected politicians (elected by the majority) the respect and freedom to move Goa forward. That is what democracy is all about. We should wish them well, and pray for their success. Hope they work together irrespective of their ploitical parties and have the welfare of all Goans at heart. Goans have shown in this election, the populace can throw some of the senior veterans out. Thus, they have put the remainder on notice. It is time the rest of us sit back and give the new political leaders a chance. A trip to Boca a la Carmo, and a relaxing time on its beach watching other Bocas ani ..... would not hurt. I noticed high on the agenda of Goans in Jobs. That is exactly what economic development and tourism is all about. The motto of the Goans should be "What can we do for Goa and not what Goa (politicians) can do for us".
