Dears,
Below are three clippings from the Navhind Times today 5/12/08]
Days after reports and even editorial criticism in the NT [besides the Prudent
Media video footageon 4.12/08], the Coastal Police Station, Mamagoa
Harbour/Vasco has "Intercepted" two fishing trawlers.
Hey! Don't go into a dream sequence imagining the CPS staff, freshly back from
Law & Disorder duty at INOX or Kala Academy for IFFI, chasing pirates in their
speed boats and blazing away with 20 mm cannons or putting a shell across the
bow of the erring vessel. All the CPS-Harbour has is a canoe with an outboard
motor ...and no technical staff to operate it!!
The boats were apparently detained after they had docked to pick up provisions
and to get medical treatment to one of the ailing fisherman! Makes a good news
item ... Detaining [NOT "arresting"] 18 fishermen ....just the same. The
"Actionable" word "intercept" also embellishes the news to make it worthy of
mention in a James Bond Film.
The 300 persons "held" or "rounded up [again NOT "arrested"] in the raids at
Khariwada will turn out to be Oriya or Bengali fishermen employed by the
fishing trawlers. If they are detained over the weekend, your fish will cost
you dearly.
I do hope that the "accident" of Justice Eurico Santana da Silva's car was not
on purpose. He lost his wife, Thelma, in the tragic accident and is seriously
injured. As the Chairman of the Goa State Police Complaints Authority [the SPCA
for Police men], he was a thorn in the side of many a senior policeman, hauling
them up for harrassing the people whom they are supposed to serve. Accidents
can be quite convenient. They say Mark Fernandes and Evagrio Jorge died of an
accident right near what is now the Panaji Residency. When I was still a school
boy, my classmate Debashsih Burman's, father died of an accident. Accidents do
happen, you know. these are dangerous days. See what happened in the accident
of 9/11 in New York. Why do they build such tall buildings when there are
planes flying in the air? If one values one's life, one should travel in an APC
or a Battle tank!
Even after the transfer of Mohan Naik and others from Panaji city to Altinho,
it looks like the Indian sun [Ravi] will still miss home. May be Public Works
will be a suitable golden handshake. With all the fishermen from Orissa being
harrassed, Churchill may have an uphill task ...and I am not Joking! ;-)

I just love the SRK in "Rab ne banaya jodi" look of the Mapusa MLA, also a
Ba-bush at a time Obama is saying to the other Hogo- Bush to George Bush or to
use Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan's father's words, "Po da ...." ;-)
