Rajan P. Parrikar
Venue: Menezes Braganza Art Gallery, Panjim, May 21-24, 2008
http://www.parrikar.org/misc/doc-notice.pdf
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please visit the former "Art Gallery" of Instituto Menezes Braganza,
near Panaji-Betim Ferry Jetty [not the "Captain of Ports" Casino shore
service station], Panaji - Goa, TODAY till SATURDAY.
On Saturday come to Caritas building near State Bank of India's Zonal
Office, St. Inez-Panaji for a CSJP-Goa Sudharop symposium [No sweat
that GS seems to have entirely forgotten that I exist. Many people do
not like my plain speaking, but that is the Truth.] on Saturday at
5.00 P.M. Patricia, Soter and Pravin will be speaking, moderated by
Averthanus. The topic is GOA ...and that is important!
On Sunday at 5 P.M., you have a date at Calangute. Perhaps, St.Alex
Church will also be given CISF "protection" as a contraceptive against
genesis of another People's Movement. Perhaps, an abortifacient will
be needed as the deed seems to have been done at Dando-Benaulim on 12
May, 2008. It too far gone even for a political i-pill.
