How will God see? What all will God see? 
 
GOD gave beautiful GOA to GOANS to enjoy, live and Protect GOA ..
GOANS have not lived upto the dreams GOD had for us GOANS....
GOANS were supposed to be the luckiest lot to be born in GOA.......
 
And today as a Goan, what did I do ?
a) I am fighting with my own family for property for 15-20 years and allowing 
all bhailes and outsiders to build whatever, wherever, even next to or in my 
own land.....within couple of days.
b) I am roaming with a 'price' tag and everyone now knows I ( Goan ) can be 
BOUGHT easily enough 
c) I am shouting at the poor slum people because they cannot understand my 
englizy.... but we keep quiet like a mouse and allow FIVE STAR SLUMS to 
flourish so that we can also enjoy once in a way by going to the PRIVATE SLUM 
BEACH
 
GOANS GOANS GOANS....
The beach was ours, given free by GOD
The field was ours, given free by GOD
The hills were ours, given free by GOD
The swaying palms were ours, given free by GOD
The beautiful houses(call it portuguese type or goan houses) were such a 
wonder-land to live in 
The garden was ours, given free by GOD
 
and what did we GOANS do..... ALLOWED 5 STAR ILLEGAL SLUMS & CONCRETE JUNGLE to 
finish off our dreams for few pieces of silver. 
 
I would not hesitate to say, WE ( GOANS) are like  ADAM AND EVE  and have 
ignored GODs instruction and are EATING OF THE WRONG TREE. 
 
Sorry to say Goans, we have become like prostitutes….available to everyone, 
giving in to the highest bidder. Don’t worry dear Goans for the word used 
“PROSTITUTES”. Remember one thing Dear Goans,  no one will dare throw a stone 
at us for our sins, because those who dare to throw stones at us are the 
biggest sinners.  We all are sinners. No  doubt. Greed, Fame, Money, Pride, 
Ego, Richess,seems to have become “the way of Life”. Noone seems to be 
comfortable with the “the way of the Cross”. And our God, the right judge has 
already warned them “ let the one who is without sin cast the first stone”. My 
point is not if I or other should throw stones, my message is simple “Let us 
Sin no More”  “ Let us stay away from worldly temptations”

 
Its not too late yet, wake up now and join the many true activists who do exist 
in Goa and lets fight back to get Goa as it was on 19th Dec, 1961. Nothing 
less, nothing more. We want GOAs Beaches, Fields, Hills, Palms, Houses, Gardens 
as it was. 
 
I am sure many goans have read the below story, If not then here it is about 
Goans(however Susegad it may sound, Goans knew how to live Life, How to Enjoy 
abundant  & full life, How to love our neighbours. But, now, looking at the way 
We Goans live life, it appears ‘ Its not even worth a penny’ and in the race to 
make more and more MONEY, MONEY, MONEY we have become SLAVES(5 star slum 
millionaires)  to corruption, injustice, illegalities.
 
 
STORY
A boat docked in a tiny Goan village. A tourist from Mumbai complimented the 
Goan fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to 
catch them.

‘Not very long,’ answered the fisherman.  ‘But then, why didn’t you stay out 
longer and catch more?’ asked the Mumbaite.

The Goan fisherman explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his 
needs and those of his family.

The Mumbaite asked, ‘But what do you do with the rest of your time?’

‘I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my 
wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, play guitar, 
sing a few songs… I have a full life.’

The Mumbaite interrupted, ‘I have an MBA from IIM-A, and I can help you! You 
should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you 
catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat.’

‘And after that?’ asked the Goan.

‘With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and 
a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of 
selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the 
processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this 
little village and move to Panjim, or even Mumbai. From there you can direct 
your huge new enterprise.’

‘How long would that take?’ asked the Goan.

‘Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years,’ replied the Mumbaite.

‘And after that?’
‘Afterwards? Well my Friend, That’s when it gets really interesting,’ chuckled 
the Mumbaite, ‘When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks 
and make millions!’

‘Millions? Really? And after that?’ asked the Goan.

‘After that you’ll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, 
sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your 
wife and spend your evenings doing what you like with your buddies.’

‘With all due respect sir, but that’s exactly what I am doing now. So what’s 
the point wasting 25 years?’ asked the Goan.
—

And the moral of the story is? Know where you’re going in life. You may already 
be there. Life in the present world is indeed a rat race. Many who have 
qualifications from reputed universities too do not know where they are going 
in life.

 
Long live Goans, Live life fully Goans. 
 
With Love , To Goa & Goans.
