Dear Mr Tony Martin,
We sometimes scratch everywhere except at the spot which itches. Your post
reminds me of this. If it were not for 'i read your romi konkni bit' I would
be left wondering whether it is some other Borges you are addressing. My post
dealt with the advisability or otherwise of doing away with the term "Romi
Konknni" and replacing it with "Romi lipyent boroiloli Konknni bhas" every time
we are referring to "Konkani language written in Roman script." And I was
reacting to an article by Tomazinho Cardozo in Vavraddeancho Ixtt, the relevant
parts of which were quoted in translation as well as in original. But your post
has absolutely no connection with that issue. However, I shall deal with your
points to the best of my ability.
1. You begin by saying that you don't know me. In fact, in my opinion, this is
the best situation. When we personally know the person, we tend to concentrate
on that PERSON and neglect the ISSUE being discussed.
2. I "coukd be a good cow for?some pundaliks and udays to milk freely to their
advantage." I have no objection if some tom, dick, harry, pundalik, uday or
whoever uses my matter for his / her advantage. What I write is the truth as I
know it personally or have acquired from elsewhere, the sources also being
cited. Therefore, why should I hide the truth just because some 'wrong'
persons might use it to their advantage? On the contrary, it would be
dishonest to hide the truth, on this specious premise! If you find that what I
state as facts are not true, you are welcome to refute them with necessary
evidence. Or, if the facts are correct and my inference thereon is illogical,
you are welcome to point that out as well; I shall appreciate your reactions as
that will help edify me.
3. "Gulf money and GPA". I do not know anything about any Gulf money and I
have not even heard of anyone bearing the initials GPA. However, if you feel
that I might have some info on these, please be specific.
4. What gave you the impression that I am giving or denying awards / grants to
writers? Please be specific.
5. "Do you know one Reginald Fernandes??" I do not know any living person
with this name. However, I know that there WAS a Konkani novelist bearing this
name. Perhaps you mean that he should have received a Sahitya Akademi (SA)
Award. May be you are right. However, we remember such people only after they
have left this world. Are there no living worthies? Why don't their names get
the required exposure? Why can we not use these eminent writers as resource
persons in workshops for budding writers? Jess Fernandes has received the
Award recently. Now tell me. Do you remember that Jess was ever used as a
resource person in any of the workshops organized by Dalgado Konknni Akademi
(DKA)? Please note that he got the award only after he published his work in
Devanagari. As early as September 2004, I had suggested that we should
transliterate and publish in Devanagari such
works of LIVING writers which meet SA standards. I had
suggested that DKA should select such work, I had volunteered to do the
transliteration and DKA could arrange for the publication, if the author was
reluctant to do so. But nothing was done. The same suggestion was put on two
internet sites in November 2005. But Tomazinho Cardozo who was then the
President of DKA claims that he never heard of my suggestion. This is in spite
of the fact that in October 2004, he had reacted to some parts of that article
of mine; obviously he had read my suggestion. We have had two Romi Konknni
'sammelons' to date. But in neither of them was there any exhibition of
Konkani books, let alone a nook showcasing works of SA standard. I hope you
have got the answer to your question: "Once you solve the issue, money will
stop flowing into my kitty; therefore, better leave it festering."
I hope you are satisfied. If not, do come back with specific queries.
Mog asum.

Whatever happened to the Gulf?money that more than sustained?the GPA.
Why were/are there no awards or?grants for romi konkani writers for all these
years. Do you know one Reginald Fernandes??Injustive personified.
Check who are affected by the shift in medium?of instruction.
All I am asking is equal opportunity at least to Goans in Goa.
