Ripples were caused all over Goa and more so in Goa’s political pond, when Fr. Bismark, a Catholic priest announced his candidature for the forthcoming Assembly elections in Goa, it could yet cause history in Goan politics. Initially there was a mixed reaction from Goans when Fr. Bismark expressed his desire to contest elections. People, especially the Goan Catholics were not sure how to digest the absurd idea of one of their priest jumping into the quagmire of Goan politics, knowing fully well the filth and the immorality that thrives therein. But two week down the line people have a changed perception as truth prevailed over mind-set and they realized the futility of trying to change our appalling and squalid system from outside the system and now most have welcomed the idea of a Catholic priest in Goa’s Vidhan Sabha. We have been complaining for far too long that a rotten apple spoils all the good apples in a basket but here we could yet be witnesses to a good apple changing the bad ones for a change, anyway it is high time that spirituality permeated the walls of our Vidhan Sabha and restored its sanctity and sanity as well.
Fr. Bismark as a socio-environmental activist needs no introduction; his actions and his work speak for itself and his commitment to the Goan causes. He has been leading the aggrieved people from the front in the fight against corruption; the anti peoples policies and the environmental degradation. It is not just we the Catholics but the whole of Goa is proud of Fr. Bismark and his principles. He has been such a revelation in this otherwise horrid situation, that it isn’t even surprising that he commends such huge support from even the vast majority of the non Catholic community, which shows that, if we can come up with some good and credible candidates, our people will support them, irrespective of which community they belong to.
The Church Authorities in Goa have been mute about the situation and have refrained from making any statements in the case of Fr. Bismark’s candidature. I only hope the Church Authorities will not see the actions of Fr. Bismark as challenging the Authorities but on the contrary as of service to the Goan society and the environment who are both victimized and ravaged by our very own who were elected to work for the wellbeing and welfare of Goa and Goans. In the Church today we have doctors, lawyers, scientists, scholars, social workers and other professionals working for the betterment of society, so why cannot we have Fr. Bismark, a priest as a politician in Goa ? As a politician he will still be serving the people of Goa and the land of his birth and it could have enough influence to restore the ever flagging credibility of Goan politics and our faith in it too.
Fr. Bismark has been a source of inspiration to many young and the old with not just his fiery speeches but also his keenness to walk the talk as well. His honesty, dedication and integrity are beyond reproach as we know how he has stood up against his own institution and our corrupt politicians, in keeping with his principles. There is no doubt that he has all the attributes to be a very good politician
and a person who has such courage and conviction as he does, he could be the much awaited source of metamorphosis for healthy Goan politics.
On 21st January 2012, a meeting was held at the Sea View hotel Dubai, by the NRG’s from Cumbarjua constituency and their well-wishers, pledging their support for Fr. Bismark as the candidate for their constituency for the forth coming Goa Assembly elections. It was wonderful to note that the NRG’s though far away from home, still love Goa and want the much needed change in Goa’s political arena. It was indeed good to see Goans together and united for a common cause. I wish to congratulate Cumbarjuemkars for the initiative they have taken to support Fr. Bismark as their candidate for the forth coming elections and wish them all the very best in their endeavor and I hope other Goan across the globe will take this as a cue and work to garner support for a worthy candidate of their own constituency.

As The Great Goan Carnival Unfolds
The election dates are all set and the monkeys are up and about jumping from branch to branch, tree to tree. I am not so sure if they are in heat and looking for a mates or just suitors, buffet tables or freebees ?
At the moment it looks like the MGP is still not sure who will make a better bed partner, the Congress or the BJP and are probably looking towards astrology to guide them to contentment. The UGDP and the GVP too are undecided whether to tie the knot or not, even though they are still rolling in the hay. The Congress is being torn apart by its own heavy weights and they are reluctant to declare their candidates just yet but once they do, expect all hell to break loose within the Congress. The BJP on the other hand are acquiring minority rights trying to field minority candidates to woo minority votes to rectify their misfired or rather backfired Hindutva ideology. Not to be undone by the Italian Behenji, the “Bong” baby from Kolkota has “Free Willy” in her sight;Goa could yet be called “Dakxinn Banga”. It’s a pity that after a lot of promise the GRA too has had marital problems in their early marriage and contesting the elections separately. This time round a lot of solo artists are planning to give the parties a real run for their money, if not run them out altogether. Is Goan politics heading in the right direction ?
In Goa Elections are like the Carnival, there are personalities, there is flare, both are extravaganzas, both are watched with equal zest and zeal, mass participation, a lot of money flowing and clowns a plenty on all sides. The carnival has really begun inGoa, masks, make up kits and the different costumes are available in plenty, to hide their obvious aberrations from the public eye. They will all try to display passion and gusto to cover up their obscure vision and an unending trail of soon to be forgotten promises will follow.
King Momo and his brigade of jokers will line in and zoom on at every possible doorstep and street corner to perform acts of charity, acts of compassion, acts of generosity, acts of patriotism or any other acts that will impress the local populace with their guile and deviousness. Money has already started flowing out of every political well, like oil flowing from the Gulf. Business for Bars and restaurants has started booming, free food is being served and liquor too has started flowing like water from a stream, even though a large amount of liquor has already been seized by the authorities. The slogan is “eat, drink and be merry at our cost” but be certain that Goa and Goans will pay and pay very dearly, as we have been paying all these years.
It is nothing new, this is exactly the sequence of events that has occurred during every election, so far we have been naïve to fall prey to the phony generosity of our corrupt politicians and keep on electing them term after term. It’s time for Goans to seriously think, not only of their future but also about the future of their children and the generations to come. Think straight and think hard because if this opportunity is lost, be assured we will have nothing left to fight for in 2017. If we Goans fall prey to the dirty conniving tactics of these corrupt and communal politicians yet again, it will most certainly not be a comedy by errors but rather tragedy by design.

MATHANAY SALDANHA ROBBED HIS FOLLOWERS BY JOINING BJP.
Finally the Cat is out of the Bag. As expected Mathanay Saldanha earlier known as the patriot of Secularism finally and shamelessly joined BJP officially by deceiving his secular supporters and followers who earlier helped him to create a dent in public life. His earlier supporters were predominantly Christians including Church leaders who never expected him to join the communal party BJP that persecuted Christians. BJP is a communal party and one to be a member of this party must be necessarily a communal person propagating hatred for non Hindus. Worst of crimes against Christians in Goa were done by Parrikar Government during its short tenure of ruling Goa. Good that BJP ruled Goa only for a short period otherwise it would massacre Christians in Goa under the leadership of Parrikar. What harsh communalism did not practice by MGP durng its about 15 years of rule in Goa, BJP did in few months. In fact BJP in Goa came into existence not to rule Goa judiciously but only to Hinduise Goa.
It is a very sad story of Mathanay Saldanha who earlier when he got himself involved in public life as a protector of Ramponkar he was a clean man. My honeymoon with him started in early eighties during the Konkani Language "Novem Goem" movement under Novem Goem Pratishthan when I was on vacation in Goa during that period. I have spearheaded Novem Goem movement in Kuwait collecting from Goans in Kuwat lakhs of rupees for this project. Regularly we were meeting in Panjim at Jesuit House where he was staying along with Christopher Fonseca who was the General Secretary of Novem Goem Pratishtan Movement. During that particular period I fell in love not with him as a man but for his great ideals of Secularism. But the moment he joined BJP Government when he was not supposed to join when he was not elected on BJP Symbol and thereby committing a robbery on the trust of his voters, I lost my taste in him and his fake ideals. Previous to this time I found him the most clean and upright Goan politician. But later on he proved to be a fake and selfish like any other corrupt Goan politician.
I had great hope in him to protect Goan secularism and prestine good values of Goa even without getting elected. To propagate one’s ideals one need not necessarily become MLA or Minister. Instead one can do lot of good for the society by being as individual layman. But Mathanay Saldanha is become greedy for power and because of this he discarded all his former good values and joined Parrikar’s BJP which is known to promote communalism in Goa. By grabbing Mathanay Saldanha into BJP Parrikar will try to woo Christians towards BJP. Christians and Muslims should not only boycott BJP but more than that they should boycott Mathany Saldanha in the next election and all other such Mathanays in BJP. They are tools in the hands of Parrikar in Goa. By joining BJP Mathanay Saldanha proved to be worst than a Judas because by doing this act he betrayed all his anti-BJ supporters who promoted him to what he later on became, even an MLA. In one stroke by joining BJP Mathanay Saldanha told all his supporters and followoers "Tumi boslet mojea Konkear".
It is a pity to note that almost every Goan political leader and even an ordinary politician after gaining the strong foothold on political field he acts traitor to his own supporters. When he starts his political career he starts as a Slave but once gained the political foothold he acts as a Master. How people were hurt by Mathanay Saldanha's joining BJP when it was ruling Goa was known when he was defeated in the last election. Earlier he defeated Mauwin Godinho nicely and sent him into limbo but after joining BJP Government Mathanay himself resurrected Mauwin.
In the coming election, secular minded voters must teach another strong lesson to Mathanay Saldanha and send him reeling down the canvas permanently. Goan voters must not forgive BJP for harassing Christians unless BJP openly and publicly apologises to Christians and promise that it would never follow communalism in Goa again. Does Parrikar has marbles to do this?

SURROGATE POLITICAL PARTIES.
We heard many times the words Surrogate Mother which means a woman rents her womb for delivering a child. On the same basis I am coining my own words as Surrogate Political Party. What is Surrogate Political Party? A Political Party that allows its symbol for a particular candidate to contest the election and after winning the election the candidate defects to any other political party that forms the government and gets himself the maximum benefits. These benefits may be in the form of Ministerial berth or Chairmanship of any Corporation or Financial doles in crores of rupees.
In the recent past we have noticed mainly in Salcette how some corrupt politicians after getting elected from the votes of the corrupt voters in their respective corrupt constituencies by bribing the bribe able voters defect to any party of their choice. This attitude and behaviour of the defectors is very bad. It must get a full stop now onwards.
In Goa there are two known political parties acting like Surrogate Mothers letting their corrupt wombs to the known defectors who for the greed of money and power are destroying Goa. These two political parties are United Goans Democratic Party and Save Goa, both these parties are cheap parties having no control over its candidates. May be a part of the loot acquired by their elected representatives after their defections is shared by these parties. The leaders of these parties in the beginning talk big as if they are having full control even over the souls of their candidates but once elected their candidates say to "hell with your party.
It is a time now for the Goa lover voters to get open assurance from their candidates that they will not defect to any other party once they are elected. Goa is destroyed by these corrupt defectors from Salcette. The whole corruption started in Goa with bigger magnitude only with the formation of PDF Government of "Chor" and corrupt Goykar politicians who began looting Goa and Goans without any hindrance. Some of those who are still in the ruling party have not stopped an inch of what loot they have been doing. There was a time Salcette politicians protected Goa more than anyone but now Salcette politicians are destroying Goa more than any other Goan politician and in this destruction sadly our priests and other Church leaders are helping the corrupt politicians to loot and destroy Goa ad Goans.
Before going to the Polls and before casting their votes, voters from Salcette mainly from Navelim, Benaulim, Cortalim, Curtorim, Nuvem and such other constitueuncies where elected representatives defected to other parties, must get a full and publicly declared assurace from their representaitves that they will not act as Judases once they are elected. On the contrary they should remain faithful to theit parties that got them elected. Voters must get a firm assurance that "No Aya Ram - Gaya Ram" will be tolorated.
And finally, voters in Salcette must ask UGDP, Save Goa and Goa Vikas Party what legal precaution they will take to prevent defection of their candidates. If no proper satisfactory answer is coming then voters should boycott these parties and their defection oriented nominees. The NGOs, Youth, Social Workers and Religious Gurus must take active role in awakening the voters to act sensible. Otherwise defectors will totally destroy Goa and Goans. The defectors are not genuine Goans, they are not the real sons of their real Goan fathers and precisely because of this they act against Goa and Goan interest.

"CHORS" AS DIRECTORS IN GULF GOANS HOTELS COMPANY.
In early 1979 when the first meeting of Share Holders of Gulf Goans Hotels Co. was held at Shuwaikh Modern Restaurant in Kuwait, A. Veronica Fernandes proposed openly to induct one director in the Board from the village of Calangute to gain the good will of the locals since the Hotel Goan Heritage falls in Calangute. When the Managing Director of the company asked A. Veronica if he can propose somebody, A.Veronica proposed the name of Gabriel Soares who was one of the major Shareholders then. But Mr. Soares politely turned down the offer.
According to the latest information, the younger brother of the late Gabriel Soares, Mr. Pascoal Soares has just been inducted thru selection by the Shareholders into the Board as one of the directors of Gulf Goans Hotels Co. With this induction Calangute village got representation in this company board of two directors. A few days earlier another son of Calangute Mr. Jerry Call (Chef) was inducted into the board with unanimous approval of the Share Holders and Directors. Jerry Call is a renowned Chef of 5 Star Hotels in the Gulf and was highly decorated one. He is the only of his type in the board and one of the rare in Goan community. Gulf Goans Hotels Co. must be lucky to have Chef Jerry Call in its midst.
Gulf Goans Hotels Co. is the unique such company initiated by the expatriate Goans and as such it should be the darling of all genuine Goans. In view of this, this project must run well and profitably so that other expatriate Goans will also think of starting such ventures in such a manner.
There were about 75 Shareholders in the initial stage and they invested their hard earned money in this project more out of patriotism towards Goa and less for the income they will derive from their investment. They were the true great Goa lover Goans having great love for Goa. Now, many of them are settled permanently in the West, they are not in Goa nor in Kuwait but still they are stake holders in this project, some of them unfortunately not knowing how the project is running. This project is like gold but the management of it under the current board is showing lot of flaws thereby depriving the Shareholders of the maximum benefits of their investment, according to the majority of Shareholders who continuously stalled the proceedings of the Annual General Body Meeting last year to show their disgust over the malfunctioning of the Hotet management.
One of the reasons for the malfunctioning was due to the corrupt members in the board. One of them as known in Kuwait was sacked from Air India Kuwait office for doing financial irregularities; two of them were responsible for duping Kuwait Goan evacuees following the liberation of Kuwait to the tune of huge undisclosed amount of money collected from the poor Kuwait Goan evacuees by being under the umbrella of Kuwait Goan Evacuees Society, the Society formed to help Kuwait Goan Evacuees to return them back to Kuwait after Kuwait's liberation, one of them is responsible for withholding the huge fund of Goan Welfare Society - Kuwait and transferring the same into his personal account. This same "Bamtto" was known in Kuwait for demanding Sex from young girls by offering Jobs. He was openly disgraced by a mother of one of the girls whom he requested to sleep with him in exchange of a job (It is a sin called NARVENKARISM). He was the most scandalous Goan in Kuwait. It is a shame to have such a disgraceful member in the board. And those who accept him in their midst are also disgraceful including the Kuwait based ones who lost their marbles to stand upright when injustice was done against one of their own colleagues.
As long as these three members are in the board there will never be smooth functioning of this project. They want to create their own lobby in the Board by inducting in the board their own relatives and family members possibly to loot the company's coffers as it was done for Goan Welfare Society Kuwait Fund. Professional and known thieves should be thrown out of this board and for this drive there should be concerted efforts on the part of all the Shareholders. They are expert in duping and robbing the community in Kuwait and for this reason people don’t trust them. They are experts in chickanery, they have no shame to move about in society because they are shameless. And those who associate and support them in the Board are equally guilty including those shameless based in Kuwait. Kuwait based directors are cowards of first grade, they have no marbles in their pants to fight for justice, one leg of each of them is in Kuwait and the other in the West. Those who cannot afford to be present in Goa they should be kicked out. This company does not require dormant directors anymore.
The two new directors have a strong responsibility to bring order in the board by cutting to size the directors having questionable character. According to one source all directors are not interested in the well being of this project but only to loot and to eat free of charge "Rechiad" Pomprets and Tiger Prawns from the Hotel. While some others are there to see if they can get an opportunity of suitable jobs for them or for their relatives there because their mind set is framed only to work. Both the two new directors have got to be very vigilant against those board members who are not fit to be in the board. Both the two new board members are the aspirations of majority of the Shareholders who supported their induction into the board to deliver good results.
And finally, is there any need for the outstation directors? What they can contribute by being abroad? They are like parasites in the board, their places can be better utilised by resident directors. The earlier the outstation directors resign before forced out disgracefully the better it is for their image. As it is they are useless for the community cause where they are residing and what benefit they will give of theirs by being in the board? They have not done anything for others in Kuwait except for their own family members.
The Share Holders of Gulf Goans Hotels Co. must be aware of what type of persons are holding the reins of their project.

FIRST DEATH ANNIVERSARY OF ROSARY FERNS.
A year ago, 12th of January 2011, at 6.00 in the morning while I was preparing to dress up to go to work, I received a phone call from a lovely voiced lady asking me first whether I got the news of Rosary Ferns. I thought because of her lovely voice she got some lovely news to give it to me at this early hour and when I said No, she told me with sorrow in her tone ‘Rosary is expired’.When I exclaimed saying What? There was total silence on our voices further. At this moment I felt the roof above has collapsed and fell on my head as my brain became numbed for few moments.Immediately then I called Rosary’s eldest brother Fidelis Fernandes and when I said to him Fidelis, recognising my voice he immediately started crying. It was now fully confirmed that the news given to me early in the morning at 6.00 by Elvira D’Souza was cent percent correct. Then and there I decided to go to Goa for the funeral.
Then I came to my company, applied for emergency leave, collected my Passport, came back, booked the Indian Airlines ticket that night to fly home. Meantime everyone started calling me, some asking confirmation of the news while others offering condolences. It was really unbearable time.
IC flight from Kuwait landed at Dabolim at 7.00 AM and since I was heavy Luggageless passenger, immediately came out from the Airpot and went straight by Car not to my home Candolim but to Colva at Rosary’s place. While entering his house I tought seeing his dead body I would collapse but instead my legs became stronger seeing his body in the coffin because when I cast my first glance at his dead body I noticed freshness on his facial appearance. This gave me a false impression that he was not dead but just sleeping.
When I entered the parlour where his body was kept, everybody started looking at me, some not knowing who I was while Rosary's mother, one sister, wife and two sons knowing who I was but giving me an impression that they did not recognise me. I looked at them all and they looked at me, they recognised me but found it impossible to admit that I have reached Goa so soon from Kuwait. It looked from their facial appearances that their eyes were deceiving them to admit the reality of my presence there. Then while standing in front of Rosary's coffin I felt all around there athmosphere very wetty, wet due to the enermous amount of tears shed there by everyone crying over the dead body of Rosary. Then I said to myself within me only "Rosary, Oh my dearest friend Rosary!! I deny my tears to you because your Coffin is fully wet due to the wet athmosphere created by the tearful cries of your mother, three sisters, your wife, two sons and all around you there needing no more tears from my eyes. Hence, Rosary my dearest friend Rosary, I deny my tears to you because you are already wet".
Though my eyes listened to the command of my brain not to cry yet my heart refused because after all heart is heart where love is concentrated and stored there in the form of liquid. Within a few seconds my heart ruled over my brain and it burst out within splashing its liquid inside my body and pouring out thru the holes of both my eyes in the form of Tears like a sping thereby making me cry like a baby. Seeing me crying thus, Rosary's mother screamed saying "Puta mojea, poi re Veronic eila mellpak tukam, then Antonette Rosary's younger sister screamed loudly, I leaned on the wall from where Antonette caught me. Everybody there then came to know who I was.
The sudden and untimely death of Rosary Ferns a year ago at this young age was a great blow for the development and promotion of Tiatro Art as a whole. In him he had a lot to impart for the cause of Tiatro, Mando – Dulpod, Operettas, Songs and Konkani Albuns. But God’s wish to take him away from us denied him the previllege of enriching further the Konkani Tiatro Art. Very few in the Konkani Tiatro World has done what he has done. His greatness lies more in his development of Tiatro Art not by being in Goa and Bombay where you have lot of facilities but by being in Kuwait a foreign country where there are so many difficulties and restrictions. Here lies Rosary’s greatness more because within the minimum of facilities he acquired maximum of benefits for Konkani and Tiatro Art.
He was a very humble man by nature without any pride and external show. Harshness was foreign to his nature. Even those who tried to finish him from Konkani Stage he showed no revenge against them. He was a great fighter not using his physical might or deadly weapons against his opponents but thru his peaceful intellectual capacity. By using his excellent brain work he produced better Tiatros and Songs which totally eclipsed his opponents, they are all gone into Limbo now. Eye for an Eye and Tooth for Tooth was not his doctrine, this was the doctrine of King Hamurabi the ancient King of ancient Mesopotamia. On the contrary he showed affection for his opponents by giving them opportunities to promote their Tiatro talents in his own Dramas. He was helpful for the new comers to promote them on Konkani Stage, this was his unique contribution for the development of Konkani Stage.
From Goa and Bombay he brought almost all the top Tiatrists and Directors to participate in his Dramas in Kuwait and they all worked under his direction, some of them rendered songs composed by him not only in Kuwait but also in Goa.He had great wish to compose one song on my life and my contribution in society and community in particular but when I declined my permission for this he was deeply hurt saying ‘Nobody will know you as I know and as such I alone can describe you better than any songster’. Still to keep my one work immortal, he rendered one song in his last VCD Thank You Kuwait where he showed me thru our movement in Goa for the cause of Kuwait’s liberation, this movement was done in 1990/91 thru my initiative. When I saw this VCD released after his death I was astonished but to say thank you Rosary, I had no chance because meantime death has taken him away from this planet.
In his family circle he was loved the most by almost every member of his family and he brought all the family members closer to one another. During his lifetime he led a very decent and upright life.In his death Konkani Stage lost a great Stage Artiste, a great Playwright, a great Director, a great Composer, a great Songster, a great Manddekar and a great Konkani Sho Organiser.
May his soul Rest In Peace.

HAPPY SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY - JULIO CARDOSO & ZINIA.
Saturday, 7th January 2012, Kuwait based couple Julio Cardoso and his beloved wife Zinia celebrate their Silver Wedding Anniversary in Goa by completing 25 years of successful wedded life together. They are both blessed with two lovely daughters Amanda and Valerie as shown with their parents in the last photo down below.
Hailing from Galgibaga, Cancona, Julio Cardoso came to Kuwait in mid seventies and besides taking employment he also started taking active part in different activities conducted by the Goans in Kuwait, football being his main activity. I first came in contact with him while playing soccer at Sour grounds in 1979, he was an ace goalkeeper representing the then strong team Friends Club of Salmiya. It is admiring to note that he is still playing competitive soccer among Indians in Kuwait, all who started with him in 1979 and even later on have faded away one by one while he alone is surviving, not only surviving but still going strong with the passing of time and age.
Besides soccer, he is very active in social activities and social work. He is a well known Compeer having compeered many functions and Shows in Kuwait in major 5 Star hotels.
During the invasion of Kuwait, when Kuwait Goans organised under Goa – Kuwait Solidarity Centre a movement in support of Kuwait’s liberation, he took active part in the promotion of this movement.
A soft spoken decent person I never seen him in aggressive posture anywhere anytime. Always cool in temperament known to create positive energy in and around him besides a very responsible and faithful family man.
Surely his beloved wife Zinia have supported him in all his activities and because of her support and cooperation he managed so much of activities.
On behalf of goa-kranti, I congratulate the Silver couple in completing 25 years of successful wedded life and wish them Heavenly blessings in the rest of their life. It is a great blessing to celebrate Silver Wedding Anniversary. It is the testimony of their true, dedicated and faithful love to each other.

CRIMINALISATION OF MANAGERSHIP. PART:IV
CRIMINALISATION OF MANAGERSHIP.
PART – IV.
According to our elders colour bar discriminatory practices in Kuwait were first started by the British Managers working at KOC in Ahmadi. They discriminated against Asians and mainly from the sub-continent employees working under them. Such practices on the basis of nationality and the colour of the skin were inhuman yet poor people working under British management at KOC after the Second World War had to bear this for the sake of their livelihood.
During those days according to our elders highly dignified and sophisticated British did not come to Kuwait, many among those who came were of low calibre professionally, intellectually and characterwise. This trend in some cases is still in existence among many of the present day British Managers who treat their staff working under them as slaves. A high grade and a dignified Manager will always treat his staff with dignity and respect. A true British Manager will never treat his staff rudely and roughly, only the corrupt and a morally bankrupt will treat his staff badly.
In Kuwait at two employment sectors workers are suffering from the persecution of their superiors; one at Domestic sector persecution from their employers and the other at Company sector persecution from their Managers who think their Managerial Chairs means the Chairs of Emperor Nero. I fail to understand why in Kuwait many of the expatriate Managers are become so proud, so arrogant and so morally corrupt!!. I fail to understand why they like to harass poor employees working under them!! I fail to understand why these Managers do not realise that they will have to pay for their sins they commit against their poor staff!!
During my long years of stay in Kuwait I noticed one thing that those Managers who treated their staff badly ultimately in the end were disgracefully kicked out by their employers thus proving the punishment of God is in existence for those who try to harass others. This punishment may not come sprintingly but it may come lamefootedly also but surely it will come, either today or tomorrow. And more closely some of such rude Managers suffered worst punishment from God as prayed by King David against those who persecuted him, in his Psalm No. 109: "become widowers and turned their children fatherless.........". If any persecuted person wants his persecutor to be punished by God, this Psalm is the right prayer.
It was said by our elders working at KOC in Ahmadi that some of the racist British Managers did not want Indians and other non white skin employees of KOC to cross over their shadow even and if by chance anybody did this mistake he was sacked from the job. But those same British preferred to seduce Asian women for their sexual pleasure shamelessly. These are shameless people who can survive only in this part of the world because of the favourable conditions existing for them to play the dirty game of racial discriminatory practices backed by the supportive labour law which empowers the manager to sack his staff without citing any good reason. During those days British personnel all holding upper positions at KOC were openly practicing segregation policy, Whites versus Non-Whites against the Christian doctrine which professes universal brotherhood. Ironically, they were all Christians only, Christianity forbids discriminations.
Kuwait otherwise is a nice place to work and to live. Life security is there for you to enjoy but only thing you must have a decent job to live a decent life. If your job is secured everything is secured for you. Who spoils your job security in Kuwait? Mainly your Manager who thinks he is not only the custodian of your job but also the custodian of your body and soul as well. If your Manager on the job is okay then your whole life is okay. Otherwise you are constantly under tension which affects your work progress, your peronal health and disturbs peace of your mind.
Normally when a person gets a Managerial star on his shoulder he starts acting like a dictator because such Managerial stars are not meant for him. Hence he starts acting arrogant and proud as if he is the owner of his organisation where he is working. Overwhelming majority of the Managers in Kuwait is not fit to be in this position and precisely because of this they treat the staff working under them unfairly. Unfit and misfit Managers are responsible for meting out ill treatment to their staff. Their weakness on the job they release in the form of anger on their poor staff.
Though Kuwait is a good place to work and live yet the good image of this country is spoiled by the corrupt expatriate Managers who with the help of the omnipotent power of their chairs create confusion for all.
During the invasion of Kuwait I noticed that overwhelming majority of the Managers were selfish interested only in accumulating Dinars by exploiting others. When Saddam Hussein gave a call a few weeks after the invasion of Kuwait to resume duties for the Bank employees, most of the expatriate Managers were the first to resume their duties instead of giving non-cooperation in solidarity with Kuwait which gave them so much in life.

CRIMINALISATION OF MANAGERSHIP. PART:III.
CRIMINALISATION OF MANAGERSHIP.
PART – III.
Mr. Z a German national was the General Manager of one company. He was born and brought up under the Nazi era acquiring all the Nazi habits. Militancy is the normal attitude of Germans I noticed. This Mr. Z was such a rascal he was treating staff working under him worst than slaves. To fortify his position in the eyes of the owners of the company he was making his staff work like slaves without giving them peace of mind but constantly keeping them under tension leading them to get affected by all types of sicknesses. For his staff the peaceful working atmosphere was not in existence. The threat of discharge from the job and even deportation was constantly over their heads. Due to this fear some of the staff even lost their normal sanity. When he joined the company he was like a helper but gradually he rose to the highest position by using dirty tactics without knowing ABC properly. He was illiterate and uneducated yet he showed his smartness not on the job but elsewhere and thru which to become somebody in the company.
In Goa after the second World War many Germans came to work at Sesa Goa in the mining sector as coolies and car washers but some of them rose to the high position by acting as Pimps to their superiors even doling their wives to get them promotion and better dividends.
This Mr. Z the German General Manager was so stupid that he did not like his staff to be smart beyond their work area otherwise he would take his revenge on them. Psychologically and mentally he was not giving peace for his staff while working, it was not only his physical presence but even his shadow would send shivers into the spines of the staff around him and like sadistic Hitler he was taking pleasure in mentally torturing his staff. In his top position he was shamelessly doing the job of a Policeman excellently. While treating his staff badly there was nobody above him to question him because he was acting like omnipotent. He had hatred for Indians because of their smartness. He was the racist number one. Because of his bad habits he was rejected by his wife childless and what he missed from his wife he used to get from his female Secretaries who were undignified creatures.
As I was told, to one of his Magalorean Secretaries within a week after her marriage he told her “since you are already married, now I will have sex with you regularly” and from then onwards she became his concubine ultimately gaining upper hand over all his decisions. By using her position and sex power over her boss, she started harassing all the staff in the company thereby creating havoc for the staff. Actually she was just a domestic girl came to Kuwait as domestic brought by her domestic Mother. But later on she started acting like the daughter of Royal Palace even telling all around her in the company to address her as “Madam” because she was suffering from ancestral inferiority complex. For this reason she longed for artificial honour of “Madam”.
For sex this German General Manager loved Indian concubine otherwise not when he showed his open discriminations against Indians and other Asians. What a shameless Nazi cultured man!! Some of the racists Managers taking advantage of the Labour Law recreate Rhodesia and South Africa of Di Klierk in Kuwait with open acts of racism. And who are these people? They are big donkeys in their countries and because they are donkeys they are leaving their advanced countries and coming to this part of the world where they find situation and atmosphere very conducive to practice their racial discriminations. On top of it he was going to the Church services regularly thereby committing double sin by offending God by not following His commandment properly.
Civil Rightist Rev. Martin Luther King calls such hypocrites as worms fit to feast only on dead bodies in the graves. While preaching in the Church one day Luther told the Whites who were discriminating against the Blacks that “If you cannot integrate with the Blacks who are also the children of same God as you are, you will never integrate with Christ because Christ is come from the masses just as Blacks”.
During the invasion of Kuwait, some of the expatriates who robbed Kuwait were many Managers. They were pampered and remunerated before the invasion of Kuwait so much that they should have given their maximum for the cause of Kuwait. But once Kuwait was invaded they at least overwhelming majority of them totally forgot Kuwait.
In Germany during the invasion of Kuwait, Saddam Hussein managed thru his own men to organise demonstration on German Soil to get approval for his invasion of Kuwait from German people while the German General Manager Mr. Z and many of his type minting money in Kuwait undeservingly were sleeping at home. They had no marbles in their underwears to show open solidarity to Kuwait – as we showed in Goa under my initiative - but they had guts only to frighten poor staff working under them in Kuwait taking advantage of the Kuwait Labour Law.
Such people are surviving in Kuwait only because of the colour of their skin which carry preferential treatment in this society and also because of the Labour Law which permits firing of an employee with ease. If they had to act similarly in their own countries, they would be thrown out of their companies. These racists are otherwise cowards of first grade; they talk to their superiors like slaves and to their inferiors like masters. On equal platform they are BIG ZEROES.

CRIMINALISATION OF MANAGERSHIP.
PART – II.
Mr. Y was another manager, a General Manager from Lebanon of Christian origin. Lebanese Christians are normally proud thinking they are more cultured, more educated, more sophisticated and more westernised. For many of them the world is only around their own shadow. This General Manager Mr. Y having a degree from American Beirut University was having a feeling that he was the graduate from Harvard or Yale. He was suffering from superiority complex because he was not a metropolitan man. His interaction with the intellectuals was very thin confining only to his own community and that too low grade members of his community, thereby giving him an impression like a Frog that the world is only a Pond where he is living and thereby suffer from artificial superiority complex.
He was a one eyed man among the blinds from Lebanon. Because of his top managerial position he was surviving in Kuwait especially because the Labour Laws were in his favour. He was such a Donkey and rubbish, for every moment when he was angry he was using vulgar words such as “I fuck you”, “you bloody bastard” etc. and insulting the staff like hell. Such indecent terminology he used not only against lower cadre staff but even to other junior Managers in his division. As it is a normal trend in Kuwait, he when joined this company brought along with him his whole Lebanese gang by offering them very good salaries and positions. In this gang were his nephews and cousins to support him. In this gang only his Lebanese Dog, Cat and Rats were missing but not his concubines which are the latest perks provided to many of the top Managers.
Because of undignified way of living with mistresses and concubines thereby prostituting the dignity of the Manager, the prestige of Managerial class of people degenerated into something like that of Pimps and rascals. Who will respect in a true sense of respect such undignified Managers? They will enjoy respect not as dignified human beings but only as Managers during their working hours and that too in and around their work premises and not beyond.
This Lebanese Christian General Manager was not a normal human being but what to do? People working under him had to face mental torture till he was sacked by the owners of the company. He was treating Indians as sub human beings but he was so ignorant and idiot that if only a fraction of intellectual Indians start pissing, his whole of Lebanon including his American Beirut University will get drowned. All the idiots who make their assessment of Indians on the basis of Indians working in Kuwait they should think twice. What they see of Indians in Kuwait is not even a tip of an iceberg. And Middle East Arabs should know one thing that it is only because they are Arabs they can survive in Kuwait as they are surviving.
Many of Indians working in Kuwait are of low category, a good number of them are rejected in India and many others are not capable to survive in India luxuriously. Kuwait is Heaven for them; they have no importance in their localities in India. India is an industrial giant and a nuclear power while Arab world and especially Lebanon is far backward. Indian students are not going to study in Lebanon and other Arab countries but many Arab students from the Middle East especially from Lebanon and Palestine are coming to study in India, some of them on scholarships at the cost of Indian Government financed by the Indian tax payers. Indian sick people do not go to Lebanon and other Arab countries in the Middle East for high grade medical treatment but Lebanese and other Arabs from the Middle East go to India not only for getting best of medical treatment but also with much lower cost.

Kuwait is Heaven for them; they have no importance in their localities in India. India is an industrial giant and a nuclear power while Arab world and especially Lebanon is far backward. Indian students are not going to study in Lebanon and other Arab countries but many Arab students from the Middle East especially from Lebanon and Palestine are coming to study in India, some of them on scholarships at the cost of Indian Government financed by the Indian tax payers. Indian sick people do not go to Lebanon and other Arab countries in the Middle East for high grade medical treatment but Lebanese and other Arabs from the Middle East go to India not only for getting best of medical treatment but also with much lower cost.

IN RESPONSE TO "CRIMINALISATION OF MANAGERSHIP". PART - I.
Dear Mr. Veronica,
Good article, hoping that this article of you may help such Managers if they spend some time to read it, to open their eyes and understand about the reality that causing damages to the poor staff working under them, after all, you said it as no managerial capacitied individuals are in Kuwait. Here, the maximum 10th class education and the Chamchagiri wrestling is more than enough to become a Manager and the designations are available in the scrap market in Kuwait too.
Please continue your bold journalism and all the best.
Regards,
P.N.J. Kumar.

CRIMINALISATION OF MANAGERSHIP.
This is a four part series article. This is the first part.
PART – I.
The real Managers are not only those who successfully manage their work affairs but also treat the staff working under them with respect, decency, human dignity and fatherly protection. The real Managers are those who accept the fact that they are only colleagues of the staff working under them and NOT bosses.
In this lengthy article I show how our modern day Managers for their selfish goals disgrace their Managership by acting as criminals against their own colleagues working under them. The names and real identities of the Managers I indicate in this article I will disclose at an appropriate time and at an appropriate forum.
Expatriate Managerial class of people is one of the worst in Kuwait and if it is Indian then I have no words to show my dislike to this class, though exceptions are there. I have worked at many ......

In this lengthy article I show how our modern day Managers for their selfish goals disgrace their Managership by acting as criminals against their own colleagues working under them.

Expatriate Managerial class of people is one of the worst in Kuwait and if it is Indian then I have no words to show my dislike to this class, though exceptions are there. I have worked at many places under many managers from different nationalities. The worst among them were German Nazis, then comes racists British, then Indian artificial Maharajas and then comes the Middle Eastern stupid Arabs, of course with exceptions. The remuneration that Managers get in Kuwait is beyond their dream and as such to protect it they will do anything and any crime some of them even doling their wives to their superiors. From my long residence in Kuwait, I noticed that people in Kuwait for the sake of money will stoop to any ebb and among them Managerial class is the worst culprit. Many of the managers to protect their Dinars are unnecessarily harassing the staff working under them in order to be in good book with their bosses by having stability on their jobs and thru this the regular flow of exorbitant income for them, many times undeservingly.
From my experience point of view, I saw how one Indian manager mentally tortured staff working under him just to protect his chair and fat remuneration. Fat remuneration not according to the standard of Kuwait but according to the Indian standard. Normally high grade Indians with high grade dignity are not coming to work in Kuwait though many are claiming to be of high grade. Normally Kuwait does not require high grade manpower because Kuwait economy is based not on high grade sophisticated heavy industry. Kuwait is not an industrial giant, Kuwait is a Trading Economy. Secondly Kuwait is not an egalitarian society like India.
To become a Manager in Kuwait normally you need not possess high grade educational background or sophisticated professional background. For these reasons many of the Managers in Kuwait are of Donkey’s calibre even though they may boast of their limited educational and professional knowledge which in reality means peanuts. And in order to protect their interest they will squeeze the staff working under them to get maximum benefits from them by paying minimum of remuneration for their staff.
Mr. X is an Indian Manager from Madras having a good educational and professional background but not good enough to work in the same capacity and in the same Hitlerian manner in India. In Kuwait he is like one eyed man among the blinds. While in conversation with me recently, he said “because I am a charitable man I forced the owner of the company to recall all the employees after the liberation of Kuwait”. For this I interrupted him and said “if you brought back all your staff it was only for your own benefit and survival because you knew very well that without their know-how and experience in their jobs you will not survive. It was you who needed them more and precisely because of your benefit you recalled them. There was no charity in this because your organisation is not a charitable organisation, your organisation where you are working as Manager is a commercial organisation and not a charitable”.
Then he said “I am very helpful to my staff to better their job prospects in order to better their remunerations and for this reason I am pushing my staff even angrily”. For this I replied knowing his very bad attitude towards his staff, “you push your staff like a Saddam Hussein not because you think to do good for them but to exploit them by threatening to get better services from them for your own personal benefit and promotion because ultimately it is you who is going to get better dividends from your employer if your department makes good profit while all your staff working under you as slaves are considered as idiots inspite of their hard work. Unfortunately in front of your employer who regretfully does not know any of your staff working under you, except you, the major beneficiary of the largesse of your employer goes for you only”.
Then I went a step further and accused him rightly saying “You are such a robber that by making all your staff work like slaves you robbed them all of their due remunerations and elevated and promoted only your own Madrasis and on top of it you say you are a man of justice? To hell with your justice.” Good that this Madrasi Manager is in Kuwait where the Labour Laws allow the Managers to take any decision even against the innocent employees; Hire and Fire is the worst law that goes against the interest of the employees in Kuwait and crook Managers are known to take advantage of this law. And many times, because of this law, employees are working as slaves in Kuwait having no other option in order to survive to earn Kuwaiti Dinars to feed them and their families. And knowing this very well, some rascal Managers take maximum advantage of the staff working under them to squeeze them physically and mentally thereby even making them unfit to be full-fledged human beings in society.
This same manager was so rude and arrogant that he was treating his staff very badly by giving them mental and psychological torture on the job thereby creating all round tension on their physical and mental well-being. He was acting worst than Hitler with his staff who having no other choice were submitting themselves to his diktats like poor goats in front of the blood thirsty Butcher. Ultimately and unfortunately the effects of the harshness of this manager on his staff in his department were so terrific that almost everyone started to fall sick one by one being unable to bear the harassment from him. One staff was rushed to the hospital with Kidney problem; another three were hospitalised with cardiac problems - two of them undergoing Bypass Surgeries; another two suffering from mental strokes while others acquiring one type or the other type of sickness. In one stroke he created mental and physical deformities in all the staff working under him.
All the staff working under his supervision were doing their job under stressful atmosphere. Stress is something that causes discomfort physically or mentally in a person. Mental stress is caused when the expectations of a person are not fulfilled. This was exactly what has happened to the staff working under this Madrasi Manager who was expecting Moon from his staff while his staff because of their limited capacity could not rise to the expected level. Hence the crisis leading to physical and mental deformities in the poor staff.
This Madrasi Manager was such a biased towards his staff that he was gaving less increment to the deserving staff and more to those who do not deserve more and yet he claimed to be judicious. He used his staff on the job as donkeys and paid them as donkeys also but expected from them genius work without paying genus remuneration. I asked him once “does your Hinduism permit you to act violent in front of your poor staff while Hinduism preaches Non-Violence”? He had no answer because he was a shameless who lowered the image of Indians by acting like a “Dada”. Good that he was only an employee in the company and did not own the company or partnership with the owner of the company.
He was so greedy to earn maximum for him only that he was getting KD 3000/- as salary while he was paying his immediate assistant only KD 400/- though his assistant was largely responsible for substituting him during his vacation thereby performing 75% of his job successfully but he was not paid 75% salary, what he was paid was like alms to the beggar.

2012 RESOLUTIONS FOR INDIAN CHRISTIANS.
The Protestant Britishers allowed citizens from its territories including India to learn Law, Economics, Political Science in Universities in Britain………one of those citizen was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi who gathered all the knowledge from Universities in Britain returned back to India and utilized the knowledge gained in Britain to expel the Britishers out of India…….even the Architect of India’s Constitution i.e. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar studied in Colleges & Universities in Britain………the Indian Constitution needs to be amended to reflect the fact that Islam & Christianity does not support Caste system……and reservations for Muslims & Christians in India should be given on religious grounds……….10% Job Quota for Muslims & 5% Job Quota for Christians……..the quota should be extended in all institutions including armed forces – police – judiciary – JanLokPal Departments – State Lokayuktas - Intelligence Agencies – etc etc etc etc etc.
Like the Protestant Britishers the Protestant Americans allowed students from all countries to learn chemical biological nuclear medical space science in their Universities......some of the students after gaining knowledge & degrees returned back to their motherland and their knowledge was utilized by their governments to develop nuclearbombs missiles rockets etc etc etc.........every nation has the sovereign right to develop whatever they want just as America has the sovereign right to develop whatever they want BUT a larger question related to America/USA & Britain/England/UK......is Christianity and Christian Values, and Jesus Christ, still the primary driving force in US & Britain Culture today?..........Looking at American & British Mainstream Media, one can soon and easily see that the USA & Britain are no longer the home to Christian Values……..everything Christian has become more and more ridiculed, more and more marginalized, and seen more and more of Christian Freedoms curtailed in the name of Separation of Church and State.
The Protestant Britishers came to India not to serve Catholics neither they came to convert India into a Protestant country……the Britishers came to India obviously to loot but you cannot deny the fact that the Britishers gave tremendous business opportunities to Gujaratis, Parsis, Marwaris & Jains…….Unlike the Parsis who will employ in their offices & factories member of any community any religion any caste provided the person is qualified for the job applied for…..the same is not the case with the Gujratis, Marwaris & Jains……these three communities will avoid employing members from the Muslim & Christian community………all Jains have Hindu names all Jains apart from worshipping Mahavira also worship some of the Hindu Gods and many Jains also donate money to right wing hindu groups and it is very sad that some State governments in India have included Jains in the minority list its time all State Governments removed the Jain community from the minority list and declare them a Hindu group.
The Portuguese who ruled Goa for 450 years and Bombay for 200 years gave the bad habit of drinking alcohol to the catholic natives of Bombay & Goa that bad habit has been passed on from generation to generation AND the Catholic Clergy programmed the catholic natives of Bombay & Goa to remain non-combative, non-aggressive, non-ambitious, susegaad, politically inactive & poor due to which the catholics of goa & bombay are finding it increasingly difficult to compete in this Dog-Eat-Dog-World………catholics in goa & bombay are also physically weak because of the daily consumption of the unhealthy & unhygienic bakery maida pavs which does not have any proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins……………As for the enterprising & hardworking Mangalorean catholics they only maintain brotherly relations with Mangalorean Hindus and not with any other community in India.
During Sunday Sermons the Clergy give sermons of serving poor but behind the scene they are corrupt & evil…..they misuse church funds…they quietly sell away vacant church properties and siphon off the money……they refuse admission to children of poor catholics in parish schools……they behave like dictators….they believe that the Church, parish buildings, parish halls, graveyard, church grounds, parish schools, church properties everything is their private property............here in bombay many of our poor catholics have left the catholic church because of the rough and rude attitude of the catholic clergy……….left does not mean they have abandoned Christ or have stopped going to church…...they believe in Christ and go to church but not to attend any mass or church service but to put a garland or light a candle near the idol of Jesus Christ or Mother Mary pray for 5 minuties and move on……..just like the Hindus who go to temple put some garland or coconut and touch the feet of whichever idol of hindu god is in that temple and move on.
All Lay Catholics in India need to take a pledge that from 1st January, 2012 onwards they..…...will demand from the Parish Priest to disclose once in three months in parish bulletins or church notice boards how church funds were utilized…..will demand from the Parish Priest to remove from the church cupboards all the landrecords agreements 7/12 extracts address area ctsnos surveynos of all the vacant church properties which the church was in possession of during the last 50 years and disclose in parish bulletins or notice board which of those properties were given on lease or rent and which properties have been sold off to builders and what the money recvd from lease, rent & sale was utilized for……..will demand from the clergy to reserve 50% seats for catholics in all catholic institutions including catholic schools……….will demand from the clergy to disclose permanently on church notice boards the names & contact numbers of members of church finance committees - property cell committees - catholic school committees - church committees……will demand from the clergy not to waste time of the laity with boring sunday sermons..…will stop drinking alcohol......will persuade those christians who have hindu names to adopt christian names so that they can reflect their christian religion........will aggressively apply for government jobs – police jobs – bank jobs – etc etc etc…….will oppose forcible land acquisition……..will oppose fraudulent & allurement conversion activities of christian missionaries…….will oppose forcible conversion activities of right wing hindu groups……….will oppose corruption in politics & govt. depts……..will support Govt. of India’s two child policy………will oppose female foeticide/infanticide…....will protect open spaces mangroves water resources from being grabbed by builders & slumlords.
Team Anna agitated for 10 years for the RTI Act then nobody accused them of being agents of RSS now everybody to dislodge their anti-corruption movement are accusing them of being agents of RSS……….some people fail to realize that the provisions of the JanLokPal Bill (if it is passed in 2012 with the draft prepared by Team Anna) will be applicable also against the political wing of RSS i.e. the BJP………apart from the anti-corruption bills issues related to these problems also need some solutions………overpopulation problem – female foeticide/infanticide problem – lack of infrastructure industries jobopportunities in backward districts – communalism & terrorism & casteism problem – allurement & fraudulent conversion activities of Christian missionaries – forcible conversion activities of right wing hindu groups – forcible land acquisition of farmers tribals fisherfolks - illegal voting rights of landencroachers - openspaces mangroves water resources being grabbed by builders & slumlords – and whole lot of other problems – the Government needs to set up a separate ministry to look into all these problems and take the inputs of social activists – ngos – rti activists – environmental activists – citizen activists – honest retired judges – etc for solutions to all the problems.
During Portuguese rule the natives of Bombay were known as Portuguese Christians…..when the British East India Company took over the natives of Bombay came to be known by the name Eastindians……after 1947 and reorganization of states when bombay became part of Maharashtra there was a debate by the Bombay EastIndian Association to adopt the name Maharashtrian but since the marathi people have monopolized the name maharashtrians for themselves due to which the idea of eastindians adopting the new name maharashtrians was abandoned and the name eastindian still remains…………The Bombay EastIndian ( **** www bombayland.blogspot com **** ) community is Suffering because all their ancestral agricultural lands surrounding their villages in Bombay was grabbed by the Government, Slumlords, mmrda, BMC, landmafia, mhada, collectorsoffice…AND….Alcoholism–Infighting-Jealousy………AND……Driven by poverty the eastindians ( ** www east-indians com ** ) were unable to get the requisite permissions for rebuilding their own dilapidated houses and were forced to barter a floor with the builder in return for one to live in decently, without giving thought to where the next generation will reside and without bothering the bad quality materials the builder will use to construct the new Ground+1 house which will result in monsoonal problems – leakages problems – walls/floor as thin as paper…AND…daily consumption of the unhealthy & unhygienic bakery maida pavs…AND…lack of interest in education…AND…lack of interest in agitating for 5% job quota in bmc, police, mmrdaoffices, mhadaoffices, rationoffices, collectorsoffice, citysurveyoffices, town planning dept, urban development dept, building proposal dept, suburbanrailways, metro, monorail, airindia, ongc, hp, indianoil, rbi, nationalized banks, bombay/kalina university, iitpowai, central/state govt. undertakings, public sector undertakings and other government institutions operating in bombay…AND….lack of interest in reading the Word of God i.e. The BIBLE.
