Of Fri, 3 Apr 2020 21:09:26 -0400 Subject: [Goanet] Quepem is Gulag of Goa <voznadikvo...@gmail.com> Abhar, Just as I was about to explode, (remember that Nobel made his fortune in explosives}. There was a call from Mr. Collaso, who wanted to know what supplies I wanted. My cousin who stays close by informed him about this lock up: Off the cuff, I told him “Cheese, butter, sugar and bananas ! This morning, I could not believe it: a neat small parcel 3 varieties of cheese, sugar flour..and the maid brought bird sized yellow bananas !!! I am thoroughly energized after the bananas ! I can think about Alexander Sol zhe nits yn Indeed we all should appreciate Alexander Solzhenitsyn courage and fortitude. Stalin was a tyrant of the same class like Hitler. He was internally banished to the Asiatic Archipelago called Gulag. He wrote and wrote and with the relatively very reasonable Nikita Khrushchev he was able to write and write and write as critically as before ; millions of oppressed Russians realized the hell they went true under Stalin. In a sense many in the world are experiencing the same type of oppression. First I am interested in using space to allow us to think and be…. ethical: The space could be our Religion, the Rotary Clubs, the Research Institutions etc. You state that Quepem was considered by many as the Gulag of Goa. It was and still is unwanted appendage of Salcete. I note the Past Tense Quepem was desolate and unforgiving tract of land. …………….Secondly, in 1949, my brother and myself walked with a Tom Boy cousin all the way…. from Quepem to Chandor where my aunt lived by the river side. The terrain was rocky, … pastoralist in the past and tribals, in the not so distant past, lived in this worthless land”…… But change is inevitable !. It takes place whether we like it or not. Be prepared” You state that many years ago, and still holds true *today it was no joy to serve the local populace of Quepem. Many in the erstwhile Government and till today consider a transfer to Quepem as the ultimate humiliation. Thirdly, you could be right but these guys need to have their heads examined. I was here during the Carnival one of my relatives was the organizers, his son Dale who was in JNU …………… ….is now in Washington doing his Ph.d. He recentl wrote critically about CAA. My point is That it is our responsibility not to be observant but express our opinion. Quepem has much to offer. The Great DEAO and his Palace and the Gardens, …He started the village school, music, writing, the market and the church. There are institutions like Quepem College. They must liberate themselves from their disciplinary boundaries. Abhar, I am still wondering whether you were encouraging me to go for the Nobel Prize. Thank you cheering me about the Nobel Prize. However, being modest I will have to get a couple of plantains from Africa or go to Moira. Grandolfo In Quepem ….partly energized by fresh bananas Vivian ...I value your response I was aiming to get the Nobel for the longest word. I did not invent it ...but a Nobel Prize on Quepem
