Just back from a 4 day very invigorating Goa trip.
First the good thing --- there is still no better place for a susegad life
than Goa on this earth. It is still the best place for relaxation, and great
fish and of course drinks.
I attended two back to back press conferences --- one of Venita Coelho, and the
other of Aires Rodrigues. Both were super.
Now the bad thing --- corruption has become too deep rooted in Goa. I am told
everyone asks for 10% cut for everything.
Aires needs kudos for what he is doing. I think one great thing he has done is
remove the fear out of people. I expect more and more people to
come out to fight for their rights.
However, more dangerous than fear is temptations. I am told that the
powers-that-be might offer you 5% and they take 5% if they find that
you are out to expose them.
Now how is that for a deal ?
Those who are NRIs or NRGs can't do a sh*t for Goa sitting abroad.
Goa needs 105% for any change to be done. Yes, NRGs can send some
moeny, because that is impossible to make in Goa by following the right ways.

Samir
