My cup of happiness spilleth over. Response: Dear Rajan Parrikar, The comments from Rajan Narayan should not surprise you at all. How dare Goans put the not so blue eyed but green eyed Dr Rebello in third place in a poll for Goan icon? It must be Sangh Parivar or some secret deal between Times of India and Manohar Parrikar. Like stray dogs that are in abundance on Goans roads, Rajan Narayan's stray thoughts are irritating, annoying but it is best to ignore this man. He might have been under the influence of not just Congress loyalties because of the alleged happenings around his birthday gifts but some quality Goan liquids too. Besides, hatred of Manohar is what earns him the following amongst the pesudo-secularists and congress supporters. But for that, he would have been banished from Herald ages ago. What then about his green eyed icon? Look at all the hoardings of proposed constructions all over Goa? Almost without exception, these have been approved since the so called successful agitation by the GBA and as many others have pointed out on this forum, GBA has been surprisingly silent on this issue. We are told that Dr Rebello has single handedly saved Goa from destruction. Your pictures , however, tell a different story. Could Rajan Narayan, who obviously has his ear to the ground, tell us what the deal is between the amazingly farsighted, upright Mr Digambar Kamat and the saviour of Goa? Dr Anil Desai
