Comments : Camilo Fernandes in response to Floriano's below post :
Kudos to Floriano on his below post. I cant understand how you have the time
and energy to do what you are doing in Goa. If only Goa had more dedicated,
sincere lovers of Goa like you who believe in action rather than words, Goa
would not be in the rotten state that it is in today. Goa needs more true
Goans like Claude Alvares, Tomazinho, Aires Rodrigues, Matanhy Saldanha,
Fredrick Noronha, Bernardo Colaco, JoegoaUK, Oscar Lobo, Freddy Fernandes,
Arwin, Gabe Menezes, Rajan Parrikar, etc. just to name a few rather than the
present corrupt politicians we have who are only hell bent in ruining Goa and
amassing wealth for themselves.
All the best to your party GOASURAJ and hope yours as well as most Goans
dreams come true and hope your party comes to power sooner rather than later.
Best wishes,
Dev borem korum

Compliments of the SEASON to you, Dear Salus.
I see that you are peeked by my post on the SUNBURN Festival at Candolim Beach.
The High Court of Bombay at Goa, with its concerns for the lay citizens being
disturbed by loud music noise pollution has seen it fit to include those people
on the committee who have been wanting governments and its agencies to
implement the laws, rules and regulations in force on a consistent basis with
track records. And there are people like myself who would not bother a wee bit
if not elected (party) but will want the governments in place to do their jobs.
Laws, rules and regulations are put in place because people like myself see,
through their qualified objections, that these are put in place. Every one is
equal in the eyes of the law. The ideal thing that will happen if the laws of
the land are implemented to the crossing of the 'Ts' and dotting of the 'Is' is
that those who want to enjoy, make money, be prosperous will enjoy, make money
and be prosperous but those who don't, their rights to be left alone in peace
will be guaranteed. When this becomes one sided,
the other side protests, agitates and demands that their rights be given to
them. And this erases most of the lethargies in the implementation of the Laws
rules and regulations in existence, and also helps in formulating news Laws
etc. .... meaning that the chairs of the persons sitting in commanding
positions are shaken.
For your benefit, I shall sign off with these examples where I have been
anti-loud music noise pollution (not anti-music ) for the past 30 odd years and
still fighting to remain sane where LMNP is concerned. Also, I am an
environmental lover generally called the environmentalist. As you must know
Pollution (of any sort) eats up one's innards and makes one sick.
Example One:
Police Inspector (Mapusa circa 'late 80s)- Mr. Mangaldas Desai. .. PI
Floriano Lobo - Anti-Loud Music Noise Pollution ... FL
FL: Enter Mapusa PS with a written complaint of Funnel type Loud speakers
blasting his vicinity to kingdom come.
PI: Mr. Lobo, I see that you are the only one person in Moira who gets
disturbed. There is no complaint from any other person on record.
FL: Do you know who wrote the Indian Constitution??? ... Dr. Ambedkar. Right?
You will be surprised to know that when he wrote that constitution, he had only
Floriano Lobo in mind........ He wrote it for me so that I get my rights. He
also put you on the other side of this desk to protect my rights.
PI: Black in the face...... silent.
FL: Floriano Lobo does not need one hundred people lining behind him to ask for
those rights.... So pleeeeease get up from that chair, sit in your jeep ... go
and arrest this violator of all laws, rules and regulations which you are
sitting on. ........ Or you may arrest me because I am going to continue to sit
here until you decide either way.
Mangaldas got up, sat in his jeep and made the first arrest (in this
connection). This violator was the Shiv Sena's promukh.
Note:
The world will be a happy place to live if all laws, rules and regulations are
observed/implemented where everyone will be free to do what they want to do.
Example Two:
In my Synopsis of a Writ Petition [236 of 2007] I filed in the HC against 3
hotels in Baga/Calangute Beach [ Calypso/Fahrenheit/Strela do Mar] for gross
CRZ violations, which petition is revived and ongoing as WP 580 of 2009 for non
compliance of the HC orders by Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority GCZMA, I
told the Justices of the High Court to see that the laws rules and regulations
are implemented to the fullest extent or scrap every thing so that people may
do what they want thereby bringing-in utter lawlessness. This, I said, will
make every one happy or there will spring new laws and regulations to curb the
lawlessness. Important, I said, is for the people to decide whether they want
to be on the side of the lawlessness or of the law.
The HC disposed off the Petition with certain orders whereby, Calypso's 4 or
more luxury bungalows right on the beach ( old fishermen's houses expanded and
rebuilt) were demolished with a loss of almost 4 crores of rupees. When the top
management of Calypso contacted me over the phone, pleading for help... since I
was the only petitioner and the petition disposed... if I could keep quiet all
would be fine... I told the person that my price was too high and that he will
not be able to match it.
He laughed. Yes, I said , I shall help you. Give a press conference. Tell the
press how much you have paid to the Tourism minister, to the MLA ( Agnelo
Fernandes), to the Sarpanch ( Joseph Sequeira), to GCZMA ( Dr. Varde) and I
shall see that none of your constructions are touched.
He said ... "I am already dead..... you are going to kill me again"
And that was that.
I do hope Salus, you get the drift.
Incidentally, my party, when it comes to power, will do exactly what it has
promised to do ( It's Road Map). Nothing less, nothing more.
It is upto you people to see that it gets elected.
Or
You guys can take a hike.
Because, I/we are not in a hurry to sit on the HOT CHAIRS.
Cheers
