MY MARATHON STAY IN KUWAIT AND VOLUNTARILY RETIREMENT.

 

MY MARATHON STAY IN KUWAIT AND VOLUNTARILY RETIREMENT.

 

It is now 10 long years of my voluntarily retirement from Kuwait where I worked

for a lengthy period since I returned from Kuwait to my roots in Goa and since I left

K uwait for Goa for good. Since I returned to Goa I am living peacefully with normal

health though not perfect and that it is deteriorating as days go by is a big trauma,

however Inspite of failing health here and there I still feel that God has blessed me

with good health which is a big asset not only for me but for everyone when he is not

having.  However, so many friends and colleagues of ours are suffering for not having good

health while so many others at the tender age only dead and gone.  For this gratitude of God

I will never forget.

Earlier when I was a little younger in age and also weak in physical fitness and when I had no

issue with my health, I did not take serious care of my body neither externally nor internally

where all my body organs are  safely banked.  With all my Health hazards I am still surviving of course by the grace of God without Him nothing good will come.  I must thank my wife Fatima FOR assisting me to do my work at home. 

But how long will she take pressure of me? It Is very hard to look after a bed ridden patient who is needing round the clock attention. Many of my other unknown companions are sadly living as non-entities neglected by their nearest and dearest including their closest family members. It is a real pity to see some of them who are crying for attention from t\heir family members. They are now suffering because time has fooled them, it would have been better if they had to see their end on this planet instead of unending suffering.  But God has its own plans for which we have to surrender. They are constantly whispered in their ears by their children that they are making arrangement to shift them to Old Aged House that is Azilo which place is disliked by them, why them only? It is disliked by every one but when you attain the old age you lose your commanding power reaching to a level of non-entity and a source of taunt, humiliation, insults but there are others who love the life in an Old House and they prefer to spend their last days in the Azilos instead of their own houses which they built by giving their blood and sweat working tirelessly days and nights.

Inspite of citing my philosophies on this topic, when you attain the earlier unseen and also earlier experienced Old Age life, you must be ready for the disastrous life.  At momet it looks better that you be ready to bid Adieu  to this World.  But here again your age level is controlled by the same Almighty God where we have no role to play, it is in the  domain of God.  I am no doubt thankful to God for keeping me healthy and surviving while many of those who were with me during the last 70 + years as friends, relatives, colleagues etc, some of them are injured, others are crippled their limbs and hence bed ridden.

While some others afflicted with  some other deadly diseases.  While they are suffering  I am at least far While with the grace of God I am far better praying to God  to give them full recovery.

And God the Lord, I know my day is not far but Oh Lord the God, give me opportunity to

Spend my last days in peace.

THE BUSINESSMEN MUST PROVIDE THE LOCALS WITH THE JOBS. lV.

 

During the last Graham Sabah Meet in our Panchati Compound, there was one person  who raised the issue of not  getting employment for any of our villagers mainly from the unemployed list. It is good  that this very relevant issue has been raised but concerned persons looked to be dormant on this topic.  I feel again in the coming Graham Sabah Meet this issue has to be raised especially for the cause of locals and it must be told in louder voice that for the land that we give to all the entrepreneurs to start their businesses they must provide the jobs for our locals.  In our Panchayat there must be such crooks that they will demand benefit for them to keep this issue at the back like what  some local leaders asked and got the benefits from the Sinquerim Taj¸  eg Free meals for them and their family members twice or thrice a month plus so many other benefits.  These benefits  for the Panchayati members are like Chori and why this chori’s benefit should go only to those few ? These benefits includes  Shares of Taj as well.

 

Come on Candoicars, speak out now and now only and that too very loudly. Don’t indicate your thirst for my blood for raising this issue.  I found that the biggest crooks, biggest Chors are our Sarpanches and other Panch Members. The benefit of our village wealth must go to our villagers only AND NOT TO THE FEW CHORS IN THE PANCHAYAT.  And where are the local youth gone?  They if are sleeping THEN IT IS TIME FOR them to get up and fight for the people in the locality. Time is running fast and our Village enemies are in the Panchayat otherwise our village will disappear from this planet. We have chosen the wrong people to guide and support us but those who are elected by us are turning into ROSTAD.   You do not ACCEPT what they are doling and  when I was a member of our local youth, I used to terrify them by using not the “goondagiri”  but by doing intellectual dadagiri. During my youth time there were such rascal Sarpanches and other Panches that with my capacity physical  and intellectual  I Converted them into bloody idiots. You can do much more than what I did for those during my time and because I did that, our village is still suriving. You just imagine those Sarpanchas who  were after getting elected to Leg.Assembly after completing the first term they miserably failed to win the second term when they enjoyed so many benefits as reigning members of Leg. Assembly.  Such idiots what benefit they  can get to our village? So it  is time for the youth of Candolim to make their presence felt. These two ex Sarpanchas after they lost the Assembly election they stopped coming to participate in the Graham Sabah Meeting as if they are big,all balls, they are nothing, they are originally coming from scrap family background, these stupid people till a few hours before getting elected to the local Leg.Assmbly were nobody but once they were elected they started acting like Arabian Kings.  Nobody in our locality likes them because they are suffering from pride complex.   People like me “tankam ami martat xenxxx.  They say they are have voluntarily Retired  from the politics.  All lies, they are so ambitious that even if it takes one more century they will wait for their chances to get elected again.  But their chances are gone for- ever.  They are not Joseph Sequeira the Calangute Sarpanch who was defeated and came back after 5 years to reoccupy the seat of Sarpanch once  again. Because Joseph Sequeira is the real son of his real father he managed to come back.

THE BUSINESSMEN MUST PROVIDE THE JOBS FOR THE LOCALS. III.

While the situation was fluid in our locality where the entire attention was focused on me to see what the next step I am going  to take.   In fact I went on campaigning in support of the jobs to be provided by the Taj for the locals.    We already provided the Taj Management the required land and it was the turn of the Taj to indicate its good intention. I went on propagating our big heartedness and kindness too and we as villagers by undergoing so many sacrifices for the benefits of Taj with the reasoning that since we are giving the Taj all the facilities starting from the LAND, the Taj management was responsible to provide our locals for the jobs that in view  of this Taj must give us the locals benefits of their capability of providing us the facilities of the jobs especially for the jobless local young boys and girls. Then to fool the locals to give the convincing impression for their lies as Truths, they the Taj sent their employees to most of the houses of Candoicar in Candolim getting the details of their jobless people in each house. On the basis of this Survey, they the Taj came to the conclusion  that the unemployment in Candolim is not of alarming magnitude and for these people Taj will be able to give  the decent jobs with decent salaries. 

However the moment Taj Hotel started functioning the Taj did the exactly opposite leaving almost every prospective employee in the air and instead appointed somebody else from Madras, Kerala, Delhi and other such places thus denying the locals the jobs and here and there they engaged a few to do the last class of jobs like Watchman, 'Toilet cleaners, Linen  girls and such other odd jobs.  Seeing this my sense of protecting the locals received a rude shock but still I stood firm and with the help of one of my local friends from Candolim Ximer the late Alex Pinto who had vast influence in the political circle and we both of us jointly stopped JRD Tata the Chief of Taj Group of Hotels when he was coming to Goa for the first time and to spend a few days in his Hotel. So during that visit of his, we both myself and Alex Pinto at the entrance point of Sinquerim where you have to bring your car to the complete halt. There we stood both of us with a garland of Flowers and a Memorandum describing how and why the locals are dejected by the Taj Sinquerim Management inspite of tall promises given to the locals. ON THE SAME NIGHT alled a meeting of all the deartmental heads by JRD and questioning forcefully reprimanded his people and from the next day the  locals who were denied the jobs were some of them called for the jobs. The Sinquerim Taj management was severely reprimanded by its Boss coming from Bombay JRD Tata for doing no good to the locals. As a revenge against me in particular for initiating and directing this operation daringly, fearlessly and successfully almost individually against the mighty and that too during that time, surprised every one from near and far, and they must know that  especially during that particular time when I was so advanced and dynamic in my activities I did not need a battalion  of ruffians to help me. In fact my every family member  namely my eldest brother Cheddo of Goa Police, my  second  brother Jose Marie of Sesa Goa and Mickey who was the school going youngest brother of mine and myself the 4th brother, i,e. 4 brothers besides my beautiful mighty 6 sisters, brothers-in-law and their families and Sisters-in-law and their families, THIS such a big "Loskor" was more  than enough to stand behind me to face any onslaught situation.  Besides they all being my close relatives, I was confident that they will not desert me. Regarding for my support, besides above all, 2 more the most powerful persons not only in our family but in our locality and  beyond as well and who they were? They were my parents both my father and mother who would even go to the burning Hell to rescue me from the grasp of Lucifer in the Hell. This is the  evidence to prove that how much support I had from my dearest and nearest.  And I was so confident that I managed to give this movement of mine to fight against the Dadagiri of the management of the Taj HOTEL AND NOBODYV among the top locals who were acting like Chamchas of Taj by providing them information against even those fighting for the justice for the locals and in this bracket my name was filled first.  I was so confident of the support of my family that I was lacking in nothing because they will surely support me thru thick and thin. Only on your family members you can rely and nobody else will support you the way your family supports  you. 

In all my activiTIES FOR THE CAUse of our Goan community only in  the  matter of employment at the Taj Sinquerim but even on any other issue and the SOCIETY THE WAY  I ENJOYED THE SUPPORT of my family members no where you  can receive such a support. However, the first target of  my movement for the cause of our locals in particular and Goans in general, keeping their anger on me  for such a long period they  the Taj management removed my youngest sister from her job where at the Taj she was employed within a few days when they got an information that she was my  sister.  It is hard fact that when you lose your job God provide you with another one which is much better than the first one and this is exactly what has happened to my sister and thus she became more prosperous.  But what was disheartening was the total silence of those who benefitted from my movement remained totally  silent. Regarding the terminating my sister from the Taj job as indicated above MANY PEOPLE advised me then not to involve in organising these type of movements  for the cause of the people because our people are selfish  and  ungratefut but I never listened to them because what they advised me was the advice of Goan Buttler  of 18th century and I am in the  21st century where I have good educational background, moved in the higher level of intellectual society where I learnt not to expect anything as reward in return on reciprocal basis.  According to my philosophy, one should do whatever one can do without expecting anything in return.  Whether you get something in rēturn is the secondary question but one has to do good first and one must know that good follows the good.  We should not be pompous in doing good to others.  Even Bible says "whatever you give in your right hand your left hand should not know".   Some of the people our locals were  ac

                                                                            

Then I went to Kuwait for greener pastures while constantly thinking how and who will save our locality from the rogues and vultures who had no love for our village, they have love for the power and money.  What I have noticed then was this our own people are more dangerous and more cunning and crook and in my absence when I went to Kuwait our locality gone into the hands of Rostad leaders who in the opposition of proper persons they the residual parts of the existing leaders, gained the foot-hold of my village. How many of our Panchayat member are good?       

Is there anyone among the elected  who does not indicate his greed for money from the locals? While in this situation they only became whole and sole of our village donning the colours of the Panch members, Sarpanches and MLA's too but none of them they survived successfully and shortly in the next election they were kicked out by the voters from the contest that they contested. The reason they failed in their political game when  they had everything  to win, that is Money Power, Muscle Power, Educational Power, SEX POWER TO GET ILLLICIT SEX BY CHEATING  THEIR WIVES. THESE BLOODY POLITICIANS  FROM CANDOLM XIMER TO CANDOLIM SAIPEM got the chance TO come up politically  but they collapsed   on their way to the top and in one way it was good that these politicians lost their chances otherwise they would make lot of illicit money by demanding bribe from the people and on the strength of this excess money power they would act arrogant with the locals.  They are so disgraceful and so shameless that they are not even ashamed to demand bribe from their own local people, such disgraceful people are they.  Our village was so decent, so clean and so disciplined that this now look  like "EMKOND" and all `who are there are the biggest Devchar.   

If you see currently our Panchayati Raaj system was introduced in Goa soon  after the Choranchem Raaj robbed my golden Goa and the first democratic election for Panchayati Raj in Goa was held in Goa somewhere in 1963.  After this election the  REGIDORE system was gradually uprooted from its existence in Goa and was totally replaced by the Panchayati  Raj system. HOWEVER, generally speaking most of the Panchayats are filled with Chor Sarpanches and Panchas, they when sitting on their Chairs they can do lot of bad things and make lot of money.  The biggest robbers are our Panchayats.  All the bad decisions are taken there so also the good but these Panchas and Sarpanch are the bigget Rostad.  In front of money they dot care you, they treat you like a dirt because of their very shabbily upbringing by   their   powerty  strikken parents who never  tasted chicken in their lifetime, they tasted   chicken  and wore new dresses only when their sons got elected in the local Panchayat and  being fully poor  materially and intellectually they failed in getting so many things for them but poor thing whatever they did not get earlier the same they got thru their sons who when started looting and taking bribe from the locals coming for some work from whom  they received the bribe. This is the worst class of poverty our Sarpanches and Panchas faced and onbtop of it all they act toon big for them.  It is my sincere appeal to all the Sarpanchas and the Panchas please behave well in the Panchayat and do your work well  to the satisfaction of the people, bring good name and honour by not doing dirty game as elected members, be proud of your poverty stricken past, dont be revengefull and arrogant, we are all poor AND those who have seen the wealth now then dont be arrogant. Help people as much as you can because to do good you will get little time for a limited period while for doing bad you will lot of time.  AND Remember ell that 'DUST YOU ARE UNTO DUST YOU WILL RRETURN'.
