I conclude that he should be either recommended for Padmashri. <BR/><BR/>Now I understand why he is against Remo Fernandes, cos he is a pro-<BR/>Romi konkani supporter. <BR/><BR/>But surely I agree that his award or reward.... whatever it may be has to be recalled.

Is it hobnobbing with politicians. <BR/><BR/>Becos a few years back Mr. Somnath Zuwarkar was awarded best citizen award. After that Micky Pacheco was awarded Best citizen award. The next in line will be either Babush Monsorrate, Victoria Fernandes or Rudolf Fernandes. Sorry, I missed Mr. clean who is clearer than Surf and Rin Supreme together Mr. Monohar Parrikar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215466269642774873.post-27457870115322500762007-08-25T01:25:00.000+05:302007-08-25T01:25:00.000+05:30Anon 2: You mention 'nationalism'.

I have been pondering on that one for a very very long time.<BR/><BR/>I go to the mamlatdar's office, they want a 'Gandhi' note(the yellowish coloured one). At a Save Goa Front (Not the political party.. I am talking about the one prior to it, headed by non - politicians) meeting Nirmala Sawant said that to get an ASI (police) 9.5 lakhs worth of 'Gandhis' was asked of an aspirant. These are just 2 of the many examples including residency certificate cases I have encountered.<BR/><BR/>So, the conclusion I have sadly come to, is that patriotism/nationalism is determined by the amount of 'Gandhi' you can give. <BR/><BR/>As Sujay Gupta had once in his editorials mentioned that whether or not you get Capital punishment or not is dependent on your capital.(Good lawyers are expensive !!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215466269642774873.post-64801576466244675062007-08-24T15:13:00.000+05:302007-08-24T15:13:00.000+05:30Dilip Borkar, maybe a good columnist (Gimlet in Na...Dilip Borkar, maybe a good columnist (Gimlet in Navaprabha & Borkari in Sunaparant), but he surely did not deserve the Sahitya Akademi award for his full-of-mistakes travellogue called Gomanchal Himanchal... His magazine BIMB is just a front for collecting Govt. advts. For all his bravado, he does deals with Silveira and other land grabbers. As part of the Congress Vichar Vibhag, he spews venom against Romi-Konkani lovers and questions nationalism of the Christians. He is just another broker trying to show that he is activist.<BR/>He looks down upon everybody and hence is given respect by none.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215466269642774873.post-30985943612101678432007-08-24T09:57:00.000+05:302007-08-24T09:57:00.000+05:30These Goa Konkani Akademi (please don't ask me abo...These Goa Konkani Akademi (please don't ask me about the spelling of Akademi) buggers are parasites. They publish books which they only read. <BR/><BR/>They had the audacity to file a complaint of vehicle theft, when they very well knew that their Member Secretary Mr. Melvyn Vaz, was using it with the official driver at the wheel!! These guys should have been penalised for wasting police time and resources.<BR/><BR/>I understand that they have snacks/meals at par with royalty at their meetings.<BR/><BR/>It's all about the money and how you earn it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
