Great to know that Tarvottis risked their lives on the seas while Gulfies
slogged it out with job insecurity. All those who remain in Goa are nothing
but chors and waiting for white aunties to sponsor a drink or con some NRI
sponsors in the name of social work or fleece them in the Panchayats.
-What about thousands of Goan fishermen who continue to risk their lives on
the seas that we may have fish on our plates? What about the labour back in
Goa that climb several floors on scaffoldings to construct the offices,
malls and other luxuries that we enjoy? What about the coconut pluckers and
others who climb heights to give us toddy for our feast sannahs and vinegar
to cook our meat, tasty mangoes and the rest of delicious foods? What about
those health workers who work with communicable disease patients in Goan
hospitals and other health care homes? What about the farmer who works in
the pouring rain, biting cold and the scorching heat to grow our food? What
about the newspaper boy and milk man who brave the weather to deliver our
needs at the door step in the morning? What about the air crew that fly the
airplanes to ship us? What about the bus drivers and train drivers who day
after day and night after night drive up and down the same route to
transport us? What about our electricity lines men who climb the poles and
other heavy tension lines to ensure our power supply? What about those who
work on our roads and other infrastructure? What about the thousands who
work in our Goan industrial estates on meagre salaries? What about the
coolie at the airports, rail and bus stations, who carry our baggage? What
about hundreds of activists battling it out against corruption and
illegalities without public contributions? What about the sincere and honest
public servants and elected representatives in our government offices,
panchayats and municipalities? What about so many little people that keep
our Goa going and make our life comfortable?
WHO IN GOA DOES NOT RISK THEIR LIFE ? WHOSE TOMORROW IS SECURE IN GOA?
