Despite all the political turmoil and with so many unresolved issues
confronting Goa, Digambar Kamat has been able to hang on as Chief
Minister.   His government is known only for its assurances and
keeping decisions in abeyance. The Chief Minister must have himself
lost track of the number of committees he has appointed to examine
various issues. He may be indecisive but Digambar Kamat never loses
his calm. He always remains as cool as an ice cream. Even when
confronted, he does not retaliate. Unlike his Health Minister, he has
neither threatened nor abused me. On the contrary he has been
reminding me that we should sometime have dinner together. But I have
just not had the appetite.

Running a coalition government with ever so many greedy Ministers and
MLAs can be a strenuous and nerve-wracking task. In the bargain Goa
and Goans have lost but to his credit Digambar Kamat has not lost any
hair, weight and more importantly, his chair. So what is the key Mr.
Chief Minister? Are cucumbers helping you maintain your composure
while the divine intervention protects your chair?
