Happy New Year Twenty-Ten

Dear Celina,
It is many moons since the first 'Citizens' [of Goa] Initiative' at Menezes
Braganca Hall in Panjim that we interact.
It just came to my mind that your response to this great philosopher
'politician' whom you talked to should have been.
"No, because I have to entrust my life to the doctor even if he is a
'quack', because I don't know anything about medicine. But I know what I
want from doctors in general, that is to save me from being laid into a
coffin before my time. But for others such as politicians, engineers,
architects etc including taxi drivers, I know what I want from them because
I am paying them for their expertise. And if I don't get what I want, I give
a kick on their backsides with both my feet'
BTW Celina, any duffer can be a politician All he has to have is a keen
interest to serve the people ( with a sense of self-sacrifice and zero ego)
who elect him and strictly follow the mandate given to him by the people and
not to fill-up his own pockets and those of his/her kin to the brim and
overflowing.
Don't tell me that this politician to whom you spoke is the same politician
who told Patricia Pinto (when she questioned him over the massacre of
Panjim's storm water drains of ages for a silly and superficial face lift)
that she would not understand these things because she was not an engineer.
He never realized that she is well qualified in 'plumbing' and that the
plumbing sense w.r.t. the storm water drains was more important than being
a civil engineer or even an IIT.
:-))

When I

on the many things that were done wrong, he asked me how i would like it if
someone who was a non
physician told me how to practice medicine
