To Goanet - Last week on my way up the hill to the Chapel of the Mary Mount in Old Goa, I saw a fresh clearing on right side uphill and a dirt road leading in. My driver and I immediately sensed something new was afoot. This is afterall Madkaikar territory.
Today at Cafe Tato, I happened to eavesdrop on an animated conversation between 3 men on the adjacent table. They were discussing the parceling of plots on that very hill, licking their chops at the prospect of interested clients, squealing with delight thinking of the superb views of the Carambolim Lake and the surrounding countryside afforded from atop the hill site. By the time they left, the entire table must have been awash in drool. These were Catholic men presumably acting in concert with the Hindu champion of the downtrodden. Ergo, this is a secular project. Another hill, this time adjacent to the Chapel of the Mary Mount is on the chopping block. I could take pictures and post them here, BUT WHAT DOES IT MATTER? WHO IS LISTENING? WHO CARES? Regards, r
