Ethics of Goans in Kuwait

Dear Readers,

Further to my below mentioned clarification, I would like to bring to your kind notice that all those responsible for circulating the fake apology in my name up to now have not apologized for their mistake, even though I have made it known that I did not apologise to anyone and the apology that came in my name was a fake written by a fake person.

I feel all those responsible for forwarding and circulating the fake apology (by an unknown person) in my name are duty bound to show their true character as gentlemen by apologizing openly. If they are real sons and real daughters of their real fathers then they will accept their mistake openly the way they have openly circulated the fake apology in their names without doing proper scrutiny.

They should have realized that, if at all I apologise I will do so only in goa-kranti and nowhere else because the review that I wrote on Black e-film was only, I repeat, only in goa-kranti and nowhere else, not even in Arab Times where it came, again in my name written by a fake person.

http://goa-kranti.blogspot.com would have been an appropriate forum for me to apologise if an apology was warranted but surely not the way it was initiated and then circulated by some miscreants who lacked ethics. Unfortunately this is the quality of some of our people who are responsible for disgracing the image of our community.

After going thru this post, I hope Goans spread all around the globe would come to know the character of our people in Kuwait. First by sending fake email, second by circulating it without giving a thought and third by keeping silence over this as if it did not affect anyone of them. Them means whom? Them means those who think I am criticizing Goans unnecessarily.

Yes, I am criticizing. Criticizing which Goans? I am criticizing those Goans who disgrace the fair image of Goans. If we do not put an end to the disgraceful Goans then the disgraceful Goans will put an end to us.

It is my request to all Goans to condemn those responsible in circulating the fake apology in my name. This fake apology did not damage me. But it damaged the image of Goans in Kuwait and the character of all who circulated it.

If I want I can publish volumes of some of the culprits in this episode but I leave it to them to decide the better course.

Using fake names in expressing one's view is the job of cowards. It is a pity that some of our people are cowards to face me openly and boldly by identifying their true identities.

Re: FW: [Gulf Goans] My apologies for criticizing "BLACK”

Dear Readers,

On 17th of this month when I published my observation on the newly released Konkani movie "BLACK" under the title "My View of BLACK Nhesop Atanchem Fashion", the following email in my name from an unknown author but known forwarders started circulating in Kuwait and eleshwere too.

The email ID of this fake person is written as "averonicaf809@hotmail.com which is not mine.

My email ID is averonicaf806@hotmail.com . Hence, I disown this fake email apology and state here that I have nothing to do with any apology.

I stand firm by all my views expressed in my original write-up on 17th of this month.

A. Veronica Fernandes,

My apologies for criticizing "BLACK Nhesop Atanchem Fashion" the truth is "BLACK is Beautiful" so are the cast, supporters & well wishers. As usual, without giving a second thought I posted my views about "BLACK" to entertain my readers.

I am sorry about all this therefore please forward this message to all.
