‘A Drop Of Fifty Years’
Fifty years are just a drop in the life of a state. However, for Goa
the last fifty years are of great importance because after centuries of
foreign rule she got an opportunity to plan her own destiny.
On 19th December 1961 Goa joined-up with Mother India with great dreams
in her heart. Goans set forth to carve their own future. Goans have
faced many challenges, experienced successes and failures on all fronts.
My drop is a drop of their aspirations. My drop is a tear drop of their
failures. My drop also signifies the tear of joy they shed on their
successes.
I call upon the people to express their thoughts about the fifty years
of Goa’s liberation. Fifty years is a good time to look back on our
achievements and our defaults. Express your opinions about the last
fifty years, about our successes and our failures. Venture on to pen
down your dreams for the future.
The viewers are free to write, scribble, draw or paste any material of
their choice on the drop of fifty years. You can paste pictures of your
heroes and your villains, you can comment on the performances of our
politicians, our teachers, our artists and our bureaucrats. You can
give your suggestions to bring into reality the Goa of your dreams.
Goanet A-C-E!
