QUOTABLE QUOTES– By: Bennet Paes
1. Discipline in India ended with the end of British rule. Goa was lucky
to have it 14 years longer, until Jawaharlal Nehru’s 80 thousand troops closed
the gap for ever.
2. The Portuguese inquisition in Goa was a success by default. Only 30
percent of the population is Catholic, yet all of Goa looks like it is so.
3. When you are in Rome, do as the Romans do. But, when you are in ‘Rome
of the East’, do as the Russians do.
4. Centuries ago we too came here just as, those we call ‘ghantis’ are
coming in now. Only we got converted to another culture. The ‘ghantis’ too
will, some day, soon.
5. The place to earn guaranteed, loss-less (also lawless) 200% returns on
investment in just one term, is Goa’s Legislative Assembly. So head for it.
6. The BJP is fielding 9 with criminal records. The Congress, as many but
with lesser percentage points. Which one is better? Apparently the Congress,
provided that the pot is right in calling the kettle black.
7. A disgruntled Goan laments: “These Politicians have such thick skin
that even an ox will be put to shame. No amount of four-letter words will
penetrate their hide, only four figure bribes, and in as many multiples as
their broken promises”.
8. Goans scream so loud, they can be heard on the moon. But down here the
Politicians carry on looting regardless.
9. And another Goan notes: “ We, Goans write volumes on fighting
corruption, only to prove that the pen is mightier than paper tigers”.
10. Bribe-givers are as inseparable from bribe-takers, as the sea is from the
shore. So sail along brother, elections will not change course.
11. Gays want to marry, lesbians want to marry. It’s human rights, you stupid.
The dictionary calls it “HOMORRIAGE”.
