Just my observation Mesquita on the folks from up-country: apparently,
in Delli, its prestigious to own a house/place in
Assagao-Arpora-Siolim. If one does not have either of these, one is
considered 'not arrived'. So some local airlines have increased their
frequency to Delli. Spice does two a day!!
How they make their money? Well, half the world looking for new
business opportunities has descended into Delli.so the
opportunities galore. Ofcourse, opportunities knock for those who are
smart and *I'll leave that to your imagination*.
True and sadthere are Goichis living in the slums, be in Margao,
Zuarinagar or around Vasco and prices there are getting beyond the
reach of the common Goan (I hear its 15L for a zopadpatti). Things
have become sooo expensive in the last year, there are Goans
(crooked of mind, a smile to boot and holy than anyone, on a Sunday)
knocking on doorstrying to get on to your property..then you
are the victim! Nice modus operandi ya?
Lastly, Delli-wallas in their swank SUV's now refer to Goichis...yes,
you and me..as taxi-drivers. We are now depleted, lacking in
ideas (preaching none the less, without a strategy nor
logic)...and they are not far wrong.
Some G-Net lollipop will respond sayinghow dare they? Well dude,
before you shoot your mouth, take a good look around.
Truly feel sad for the very, very few honest Goichisone sees them
in the markets, looking for bargains and their faces are sunken,
gloomy...their eyes, looking down, in shame. For its no fault of
theirs...they live an honest life, but life is cruel and unkind.
No high speech nor the endless blabber on the G-Net will comfort them
nor provide a solution. They have to face the future, helpless,
confused and hopelessly alone!
Time to move on. Karwar is only an hour+half away by the 2:40PM

It is well known that Goans cannot generally afford land in Goa and the non
goans (mostly nicknamed Delhiwallas) only have the cash to buy real estate
in Goa. My question is from where does these Delhiwallas get so much money?
Is there not a high percentage of cash got via illegal means, black money
etc? The average Goan earning his/livelihood via legal means is no match for
the Delhiwallas. Surely the buying of Goa via all this illegitimate cash
cannot be right!! The irony is that the laws via the constitution have
given a free hand to these Delhiwallas, to do as they wish in the liberation
of Goa from the Goans. It is high time Goans demand restrictions on SALE
of our Scarce Goan Land to all non-goans; including the Delhiwallas!!
Vested Interests of course will argue that if Goans can buy real estate
elsewhere then outsiders can do same in Goa. Surely we appreciate that each
community has its unique characteristics and one simple logic cannot be
followed for all e.g. Himachal Pradesh, Kashmir etc which have special
status.
In India, most states can maintain their unique identities because of their
big size population. Each state has limits to sale of land sales intake
of migrants (today minimum 40% of Goa’s population). Unlike other states,
Small Goa has way crossed the tolerance limits now needs safeguards. Goa's
core issue its identity is threatened as it has different
characteristic/size/population vs. others; hence what works in other states
cannot apply to Goa!!
