Politicos, hands off civil society
Well, Fredrick... brace yourself well in the days to come… neither are you a
member of the ‘brigade’…nor are you (if I may guess right) on the pay roll of
the out of business’ politicians… in Goa and India! And neither are you a
carrier of the ‘hidden agenda’ virus…nor do you carry water, I say water not
urrack to the blasters at the mines.
The Chief Reporter’ and bum chum buddy has long taken retirement from Goan
journalism I understand…’ but many Johnie-cum-latelies have taken up the task
to ensure they hit a quick saffron jackpot, which is always in the offing. So
in Goa we do not have ELLO Journalism but true-original-SAFF-R-ON journalism.
Today, if you do not patronise the photus of the ‘Save Goa by Promoting the
hidden agenda through photu-exhibits’ then you are a dumb fool, maybe you could
even be a ghantti 9saiba bhogus amkam!) …you are the worst unprintable word in
the Oxford and any other form of the dictionary and gentlemanly vocabulary may
permit. Somehow, some gutterish posts slip the moderators on Goanet like
Mulitharan’s doosra may deceive a Tendulkar…
I am more confused than the Canada-based humorist who took a dig on me recently
on Goanet…confused to jam my fingers at the calculator to actually forcest the
bottom-line of the income or call it in political terms…’party funds’ or legal
extortions… the already suffocating exchequer of the out of power forces…could
profit by the formation of 500 NGO’s…well, imagine they pass the traditional
hat to collect the ‘’khote sikéys’ after every meet… and imagine they organise
charity concerts --- given the fact that some fading self-proclaimed
Nightingale could lend her aging and caloried voice, free, for the cause and
the mine-owners (poor poor chaps, of late harassed by the Naxa-Lights!) could
pay off handsomely to seek self defence or self protection against the Sebi-es
that show promise to be deadly than rabies on the mines of Goa).
Poor Parashuram, must be wondering what made him shoot that unfortunate
arrow…Poor Goa! Poor Geemkar! In time the Niz-Goemkar will be known as just a
myth like the Rakhno…only on a Photu!
First, the gharso-dollencho Dotor, then the famour boy-designer now it is
definitely you Fredricko…its your turn…and of course you have much in common
with the first two…Serpent Ivy or Poison Ivy is waiting to sting you with the
best available venom…so watch your backside, no not from the boy, but from the
mid-boys!
Perhaps you are fancing to migrate from Saligao and contest the next elections
at Ponji…a long walk that…and you will definitely be tired and thirsty…but be
careful…the tap water at Ponji is contaminated…Beware, the camera focus has
marked you now...u are a marked man!...but dont worry...this is just a hidden
threat!
Photu pls!
Cheez!
