Goanet mourns the passing of Jorge de Abreu Noronha in Portugal - Nov 27/07 http://tinyurl.com/2dk2bl http://tinyurl.com/29kpdx --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh is it Love? At What Price? For sure! You will read the below mentioned e-mail. But after reading, ponder over its serious contents. And, please do not ignore it. And, bear in mind. December 1st is marked as WORLD AIDS DAY. A day dedicated to reflect upon the dreaded disease. Also, note that I have intentionally refrained form giving out the names, places and other matter that is not worth reading Dear Bab Lino, I love your e-column Aitaracheo Kaskutleo I am XXX and I hail form YYY place in Goa. I run my own small business in Dubai for the past several years. I am an auto-technician and I have an auto garage with four workers. Due to the nature of my business a lot of money roll in my hands day in and day out. I am married and have two children a girl and boy. Both are studying in Goa and my wife too is in Goa with my children. I am so obsessed with my work that it is almost my religion. I work assiduously to make my living. I open my garage at 6.00 a.m., even before my workers report for duty. And, I close my garage around 11.00 pm or 12 midnight. My single bedroom flat is adjacent to my garage. My family joins me during the school vacations in Goa. Otherwise, I live alone in my flat. Before dinner I go in for two or three large ones of whisky. I am nor used to socialize at parties, dances, picnics, or dramas. But I love to go online on net to have a peep at the Goan newspapers. Last year, a very good and close buddy of mine landed in Dubai from Kuwait. I picked him up from the hotel he was staying and brought him to my flat. Being good old friends, we joked, we laughed and cheered with drinks. All of a sudden my friend expressed a desire to see the night life of Dubai. I never visited a night club but, being a bosom friend and not to hurt his feelings, we both visited a night club. Once inside the club I came across a female college mate of mine who was studying with me in Goa. She was employed in the night club as an entertainer. Although a bit tipsy yet, I was in my senses when I gave her my business card. And lo! The next day she was already at the threshold of my flat. And then followed my extra marital affairs with her every week. I turned out to be an unfaithful husband. And recently, to my horror I found out that she was infected with the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and also her partners who have had sexual relations with her. It is a fact that most Indians working beyond the shores of India are victims of AIDS. Therefore, the Government of India are will soon enact a legislation to make mandatory/voluntary tests for HIV for all those entering into marriage bonds. Here is my fond request to you to warn our Goan brothers and sister through the columns of your Aitaracheo Kaskutleo about the dangers of illicit sex without taking preventative measures. Yours faithfully XXX I replied to this e-mail with the following query. Dear XXX You did not reveal whether you have been infected with AIDS after having sex with your female friend. And he was swift in his reply. NO!!! I made good use of condoms Lino B.
