Idle Goan youth Robin Fernandes, Colva
I am fed up of constantly reading about the plight of poor unemployed Goan youth who are unable to get work. I run a small business in Colva. I would be delighted to offer work to local youth, but the problem is they do not want it. All they seem to want to do is hang around street corners all day, drinking and gambling, showing off their latest motorbikes bought for them by their parents. Their attitude is: “Why should we work when our parents will take care of us?” My current workers for this season come from UP and Bengal. Wake up to reality, Goan youth! I and many other businesses have work available for you, but you are not willing to do it. I fear for the future of my state as the attitude of this youth means our state is fast falling behind the development going on in the rest of India. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a dangerous reality. Wondering what those shouting against "bhailes' have to say about this. Should the Colva businessman shut his shop and sit there doing bhajan or go for what is available --- Biharis and UPites ? Or may be he should emmigrate, take up US citizenship, and shout save Goa! samir
