Not really. Indians are arrogant and now its their mess. What do we care (as Goans). Sit back and enjoy the tamasha as we say in Sawant-wadi.
We are Goan first and last and our plate is full anyways....failed state, crooked beyond redemption, often drunk (ah, the jambul wine), not an inch of civic sense (now, some po-pot who left Goa many moons ago will write like he is surprised and angry), the police are a shame in uniform, we have no foresight............I could go on. On the plus side.....well, I am listening. Ah, c'on, give it a shot...there must be someone out there who has not stepped out for the last 40-50 years or so.....we have messed-up one of the loveliest places on earth that was ours to cherish and enjoy. Take a look around! As Goans, we have to ask ourselves about our own record....main our bus stand was coming apart from the first few months of existence. I know everyone in Goa has cars and no one goes by there....do visit....its dark and dingy as a cow-shed and spooky as some haunted mis-mash of stone decorated with paan droppings and........ Better still, go watch a football game at the Fatorda stadium (why is every thing named after a Nehru or Gandi or some upcountry ***** is beyond me)....its not bad by Goan standards (thank you Monte Cruz) but the seats have pigeon droppings from 1985 and ...aye....it really doesn't matter- Goan football is dead anyway. There is a tonne of wisdom in a few lines of two earlier posters.... Marshal on Goa and its status vis-a-vie Sikkim: "It is worth introspecting where we have gone wrong instead of merely finding scapegoats for our shortcomings." And Rajan Parriker's now famous line: "...what the P*rtuguese could not do in 450, the Indians......" be Menezes <[email protected]> wrote: > On 23 September 2010 01:50, E DeSousa <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To whom it may concern. :) >> I believe the word is s-c-h-a-d-e-n-f-r-e-u-d-e, >> > > REPLY: Nicht schadenfreude mein freund; we feel the pain, we are Indians > after all.
