The Return Of The Prodigal Son
As I browsed through most of the Goan news papers, I noticed all of them had the same story on the front page, “the return of the prodigal son” to the Congress fold, with pictures of smiling faces all-around. I am not at all surprised at this show of high octane theatrics which will surely explode in their faces in due course of time.
Our Holy Book gives us a perfect example of repentance and forgiveness in one of it’s parables, the parable of the “prodigal son”, but here we most certainly have a prodigal son in an entirely different form, this prodigal son who had left the Congress fold for mere personal reasons and ego, back stabbing the Congress at the twelfth hour, with a show of arrogance and attitude, but then in a surprise move, supported the very Congress government that he had ridiculed and humiliated just before the election, and was rewarded with a Ministry for his post election support, forgetting all his transgressions, but even after the change of heart from the Congress, during the last three years he has been a constant thorn in the side of Digambar Kamat, threatening to over throw the His government, with the help of the elite G7, lead by none other that our flamboyant Mickky mouse, the dynamic duo of Mickky mouse and the Monster-rat was indeed too hot to handle for the “billie” (cat) from Margao, but now once Mickky has been taken out of the equation, the G7 has wobbled and what better way and time, to come back to the arms of the ever forgiving “mother” Sonia Gandhi.
Though the theme is the same, the behaviour of the prodigal son is in total contrast, in the Bible the prodigal son repents after spending his father’s fortune on life of debauchery, here the prodigal son in non-repentant even after all the scams, and still arrogant. The prodigal son in the Bible came back after spending his share of his father’s property, here the prodigal son has come back with wealth a plenty, with a lot of gold on his fingers, neck and may be in a lot of other places as well. The Bible portrays the prodigal son with shabby clothes, and equally shabby appearance but this prodigal son has come back, well dressed and with well oiled mustache and well groomed hair. In the Bible the prodigal son came back with his head down, full of shame but this prodigal son is back with his head held high, chest pushed out, tummy tucked in and his nose up in the air with no remorse at all. In the Bible the prodigal son’s return was celebrated by the father but the elder brother was disappointed, here the mother has forgiven and the elder brother (Digu) is celebrating, he seems more then relieved that his chair, is now secure, for sometime atleast.
The message here that the Congress has sent out, is that the Congress in Goa is nothing more than a mere brothel, join in have fun and leave anytime and if neither party is satisfied with the performance of each other, they can always leave creating the worst of scenes and then come together any number of times for another performance without any “preconditions”. How gracious Congress hearts and ideologies ? It’s politics at it’s ugliest best.
The question now on everyone’s mind is, how long will this “love-hate” relationship last ? When will the Don Monserrate get an itch for Digu’s chair, next ? Will he really anchor in fidelity and keep his vows intact ? Only time will tell, though I must say that the ambitions of crooks do not succumb to the treachery and guile of the same.

Dear Wilson Coelho, Sharon de Sousa, Sydney Furtado and Rabindra Pimenta.
The coco-meme stories you have forwarded by giving it a name called REPORT with the poor attended lunch session is nothing but lies and mere fabrications. We will not allow you to tarnish the image of ex-committee members. It shows your quality of ungratefulness minds towards my services for several years. Was it because I pointed out that funds were not accounted for properly?
Rabindra wasted hundreds of dinars on tips to waiters conniiving with Wilson Coelho with any approval from any committee members? Whose father what goes? I am still to receive responses from the others who are lurking behind in the shadows? Where is Franco now? He was talking big, big things on the Soor Grounds against the GWS committee before? What happened? Where is Cajetan Pereira, Joe FX D'Souza, Philo Rebello, Mario Rebello.... why have they been kept outside during the AGM? What happened to IAC money? Why has the ex-President not paid yet for expenses incurred on behalf of GWS and approved?
Instead you are claiming for money not collected during the tenure of Rabindra Pimenta and Tony Cordeiro? Why is Rabindra Pimenta now accounted for? Why has Tony Cordeiro not paid yet the sponsorship money for May Ball? What happened to Alexander Fernandes-Mario Rebello-Tome Gracias initiative of re-registering the society? Why has this not figured in the AGM. Why was it not taken? What has my suggestions in revising the constitution not considered? No wonder Wilson you were thrown out by employers in the past in Kuwait and still continue with your 'sonsodo' mentality of garbage and filth on the internet as well as in the social circuit.

CONTRIBUTION OF SENIOR KUWAIT GOANS FOR GOAN CAUSES - II.
All the activities indicated in part 1 of this article were initiated and organized by the elder Kuwait Goans including myself. This category of elder Goans is now coming to an end in Kuwait. I and few of my colleagues are the last vestiges of the old Goa lover Goans still surviving in Kuwait now. Once this generation is finished either thru retirement or thru death, there will be no activity in Kuwait for the cause of Goa and Goans because the current crop of new comers and those who are born and brought up in Kuwait is not much interested in Goa and Goan causes. Many of them are not even interested in returning back to Goa, they are crazy for getting Portuguese Passports and settling down in the West even by doing menial jobs and facing slavery. They are Western oriented and showy Goans. Many of them feel ashamed to identify themselves as Goans. Some of them have already changed their Goan surname FernandeS into Spanish style FernandeZ giving a fake impression that they are of Spanish origin, they feel low to identify themselves as Goans. These Goans are suffering from anchestral and family inferiority complex and they lack educational and intellectual background to be proud of Goan. They are of very backward Goan origin in Goa belonging to hoi-polloi background.
My regret is this that currently our activities, organizations and leadership are gone into the hands of selfish Goans. Almost everybody is interested in self promotion and money. Goan Welfare Society’s fund meant to spend for the benefit of Kuwait Goans is kept into the personal account of three office bearers against all norms and rules and worst part of it is that like ‘Ghantta Boil’ most of the members agree to this. This shows the quality of our Goans to work upright and to fight for justice. The very person accused of demanding Sex from Goan females for jobs is holding the reins of our Society. He is not even ashamed to move in Goan society and shameless Goans supporting him must be even doling their wives to this Sex crazy president. Moreover, many of our associations are gone into the hands of Drunkards, one of whom cannot even stand properly on his own two legs inspite of having Walking Stick as his third leg. It is a shame to have such Goans ruling our associations elected by equally drunkard members under the influence of ‘Soro’.
The current Goans will do nothing in life for others and for society. They are brought up in selfishness to think and to act selfish because they are influenced by Bharati Ghantti selfish culture since Goa from December 1961 has already become Bharati -ised and Ghantti-ised. Many of them are academically educated but lacking in wisdom and intellectual power. They will only make money for them and boast of their financial empire which finally they will leave behind and go to the graves as forgotten human beings. Even their children will not remember them to pray for their souls when they die.
The current generation wants only self publicity for this reason they are licking the shoes of the visiting Goan politicians. Many of these Kuwait Goans are so intellectually bankrupt that they will even dole their wives and daughters to the visiting anti-Goan corrupt politicians provided they get opportunities to click their photos with these corrupt Goan politicians. I cannot understand the logic behind some of our fake leaders to invite corrupt, anti-Goan and anti-Kuwait politicians to Kuwait. What these politicians have done for the cause of Kuwait to adore them as heroes? What these politicians have done for us Goans? They are all selfish and for such selfish to adore means adoring Lucifer. Only shameless Kuwait Goans will give preferential treatment to corrupt Goan politicians who when we are in Goa will not even look at us inspite of our welcoming them to Kuwait. In Goa when they are on the strength of their official and ministerial status they are acting like Maharajas, some of them by forgetting even their shabby past. The biggest ‘Beiman’ among Goans are the politicians and the way their ‘Beimanponn’ I have noticed none other in the Gulf has noticed. In the past I have given enough of welcome for some of them in Kuwait and supported fabulously many of them in the promotion of their political career but in the end they showed ‘Beimanponn’ not on me but on the cause of Goa, Goans, Konkani and Kuwait for which I am fighting from Kuwait for so long with the help of my colleagues minus the shameless Kuwait based "chamchas" of Goan politicians. Goans in Kuwait must boycott all those fake leaders, their clubs, soccer teams and their associations welcoming and honouring crook Goan politicians. And if Kuwait Goans are real sons and real daughters of their real fathers then they will implement this boycott.
Those Kuwait Goans who are on forefront to welcome coupt Goan politicians in Kuwait even to the extent of collecting funds for their elections back at home are of very low quality intellectually. They were rejected in Goa by the qualitative society. Their parents and grand parents were not allowed even an entry into the ‘Balcao’ of the then Goan ‘Regidor’ and later on they were not allowed entry even into the Panchayat Ghar. Hence, these Goans are suffering from psychological humiliation and to overcome this humiliation they associate with corrupt Goan politicians acquiring a psychological feeling that they are now become aristocrats. My foot!! Such Goans will never improve by associating with corrupt Goan politicians who are worst than prostitutes. They are responsible for all the ills that are happening in Goa. They want to implant their corruption among us in Kuwait too. Intelligent Kuwait Goans must take note of it and make them aware that Kuwait Goans in general are not cheap and not bribable commodities like their chamchas in Kuwait. If we allow these corrupt Goan politicians in Kuwait, they will surely destroy our fabric. Visiting Kuwait regularly means something is cooking in their minds. Voting Rights for NRI is in the offing. Demand for acquiring Goa-Kuwait Solidarity Centre is also coming to impress upon Kuwaitis that they are the makers of the movement in Goa in support of the liberation of Kuwait. Let this be on record again that none of the visiting Goan politicians, not even their family members associated in our movement in Goa for the cause of Kuwait's liberation. Not only that, none of the Kuwait Goans whose photos appeared in the media along with corrupt politicians supported Kuwait during the invasion of Kuwait when we were doing so many activities for the cause of Kuwait. These Kuwait Goans are not patriotic to Kuwait.
We the ageing elder and senior Goans created a very good base for our youngsters and new comers to Kuwait to work for Goa and Goan causes but these youngsters and new comers including my nearest and dearest are destroying this base. This is the big tragedy.
CONCLUDED.
