To Goanet - Floriano-bab,
I, too, have been let down my Manohar-bab in the past. After the release of "The Rape of Goa" in May 2008, I tried so hard to get him to come see it. Repeated pleas and calls, but no success. (Note that during this very time some guys here were spreading gossip that Manohar/BJP was secretly behind the making of my documentary.) Manohar finally saw the documentary in Sept 2009. Where? In Silicon Valley at an event organized by George Pinto. I don't take these things personally. At any rate, what is more important now is the expectation going forward. r ________________________________ From: floriano <floriano.l...@gmail.com> To: "Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994!" <goanet@lists.goanet.org> Cc: Rajan P.

Don't only polish your contituency of Panjim. Also give a casual glance to your home town. Three things: The Kadamba Bus terminus is an open toilet. The World Famous and Touristic attraction, the Mapusa Market is a MESS in CAPITAL LETTERS. Our Mapusa river is being polluted with raw sewage of entire Mapusa and it is poisoned already. Please attend to these three things on priority basis and do yourself a favour. I got a reply: Florian-bab, you can expect vast changes in Mapusa before Christmas. My email was somewhere in September. The response was prompt. Therefore I waited until past Christmas to send him this email: Manohar-bab, With reference to your above email in response to mine, pray which Christmas did you mean??? All correspondence stop at that. This is for your kind information only.
