A Day after April Fool, An Interesting Day !
I knew 2nd April would be a very interesting day, Dubai was buzzing with anticipation, every Indian was prophesying confidently of an India’s victory. As usual I was up early along with my morning prayers prayed for the success of Team India too and made my way to the hospital where I was scheduled for my quarterly health check.
The match against Pakistan had given be “goosebumps” and an erratic heart rate, so I was in two minds whether to watch the finals or go to a theater and watch a movie. I wanted to make sure all was well; I did not want my valuable mould of muscle to go haywire, if there were some tense and anxious moments. I finished all my tests and was happy with the report, BP was perfect, Cholesterol well below normal but sugar was hovering just above the desired level, over all I was happy with the test result.
I knew I would be okay to watch the finals, finished all my chores well in advance and at 12:30 UAE time I had parked myself infront of the TV, was just in time to witness the toss controversy evolve even before the first ball was bowled, it was the comedy of error as the coin was tossed by Dhoni, no one was wiser of the call made by Sangakara, at that very moment my mobile gave a shudder and sprang to life in my trouser pocket and blared out “Proud to be a Goan” my ring-tone, I cursed the caller as the toss was being done the second time, I left the room did not want to disturb the others in the room.
I did not have my glasses on so did not know who had called, picked up the phone and held it to my ear, and said hello, Freddy, have you heard the news ? Was what I heard from the other end, did not recognize the voice, he sounded excited, I asked who it was, Ok ! It was my Goan friend in Dubai and told me about the news flash he had seen on the net, Goa’s education minister held at Mumbai airport with a load of foreign currency, my eyes lit up and my brain went into overdrive mode, could it be true, I knew it would be an interesting day but not this interesting and not so early, Goan minister at the mercy of Indian customs, this was least expected.
My interest in the match lay spent, the toss was no more of any interest, I was all ears to my friend as I picked up every word that he said, then as my friend kept the phone down I called a reliable source in Goa who confirmed but wasn’t sure of the amount, he asked me if I knew where he was headed with the booty, I did not have a clue, apart from Switzerland where else these rogues could he go ? Perhaps Swindon I said, remembering he was once invited there. He was amused and told me that he was headed straight into my backyard.
Wow ! Now things started falling in place, in the past 10 years or so, how many and how often have Goan politicians been shuttling to Dubai and back ? Could it be for the same game, an easy and convenient way to turn black money into white, these rogues sponsor Tiatrs and football tournaments and other occasions in Dubai and Kuwait ? Food for thought isn’t it ? I even managed to get information that education minister has a bed buddy here in Dubai, an young entrepreneur who loves a fast life and fast cars as well and the Rolls Royce that he bought in Goa was infact for the uneducated Education Minister, surely no guesses required for the source of money, Goa is there for the taking !!!
Goa’s education minister, the man who attacked the Goa police headquarters in broad day light, and that too, in the Capital city. Minister who opposed the IT Park at Dona Paula, minister who tried to sell Goa through RP2011, a minister who lied about his qualification in an affidavit, minister who had approved conversion of agricultural lands for mega projects at will. A minister who owns a fleet of super luxury cars, a minister who was seen distributing goodies in kind and cash just before every minor or major elections. All the above shows the arrogance, the deceit, the muscle power and the power of money that our Education Minister wields in Goa, who is responsible for this transformation of a two bit hoodlum into a major aberration, the don of the Goa Legislative Assembly ?
As these thoughts were flowing, suddenly I realized I had forgotten about the World Cup finals, the moment I walked infront of the TV the commentator just said, “what fantastic bowling figures for Zaheer Khan” and the Sri Lankan first wicket was already down, caught in the slips by Sehwag. Wow ! This looked good for Team India ! But my mind unconsciously went back to the news my friend had given me, could the Education Ministers wicket tumble too, caught in the slips by the Mumbai customs ? Or could it be referred to the UDRS system ? The third umpire in Delhi, the on field umpire Digu has already declared him not out and without the “snickometer” there is always a possibility of the benefit of doubt going in favour of the education minister. With these thoughts I went back to my seat and watched the first session with interest, till the 45th over everything was going well for Team India by the last five overs poor Zaheer was trashed all over the park to give Sri Lankans a fighting chance thanks to a brilliant innings from Mahela.
During the break I called a few of my close friend to tell them about the catch the Mumbai customs had taken from the edge of our Education Minister’s bags. By this time there were different theories and thesis making the rounds and someone told me the amount was 10 million dollars, my heart skipped a beat, if an uneducated thug could make so mush money in around ten years what the hell was I doing in the Gulf for more than twenty years ? But on second thoughts, wasn’t I happy with the little I have ? No, I wouldn’t want all the riches, if they came from looting the people. Thank you Almighty for what I am.
The second half of the match began disastrously Sehwag and Tendulkar out before I could take guard in my chair, this was bad for the whole of India. Wow ! Did not expect this sort of a start and neither did my muscle mould in my chest, I started feeling slightly uneasy, thought to myself I would have been better of in the theater, did not wait any longer, changed into my casuals, plugged on my earphones and off I went for my daily walk, as I went I could seen people anxiously talking about the game, I did not care to ask I did not want a repeat of my erratic heart rate so on and on I walked listening to the Bellamy brothers in the cool breeze that was blowing against me, after more than an hour and a half I switched on to the radio commentary and there it was, a fantastic recovery, off I went home just hoping there wouldn’t be another collapse.
As I entered there was a loud roar and clapping in the TV room, this surely couldn’t be a wicket, must be a boundary and it was to my delight, everyone was shocked that I had left without a word, I said here I am back, am I not ? Watched Dhoni and Gambhir pay wise innings, although Gambhir played some loose shorts Dhoni was composed and thoughtful, fully aware of the asking rate, them the inevitable happened, a rush of blood in Gambhir and he gifted his wicket after all the hard work missed out on a well deserved century, it was then left to the born again Yuvraj and the man of the moment Dhoni himself, both played sensibly and a well timed shot into the crowd by Dhoni ended the Game, a well deserved victory for the men in blue, a win that brought joy to more than a billion people, well done Team India. The moment we all waited for 28 years.
Everyone was in a celebratory mood and since there was a “Naturals” icecream shop on the ground floor of our building we made a rush for the lift, when we reached the shop there were Indians pouring in from all sides with painted faces and flags, no fire crackers allowed here in Dubai but the innovations were there, party poppers were seem popping up all over, it was good to see the Indian Diaspora connecting with mainland India. I and my friend were talking in Konkanni, suddenly a group of nine well dresses and polished youngsters in their mid thirties came in, there was a young lady too, I wouldn’t have known they were Goans if one of them had not mentioned about our Education Ministers nightmare at the Mumbai airport, they all spoke in impeccable English, one of them even went to the extent of commenting about the MOI issue plaguing Goa and I was sad to note some of them even preferred to speak in Hindi, but not in Konkanni, Whaa Goykara, Maim baxechi itli apurbay ?
Getting back to the Education Minister’s issue, sooner or later it was bound to happen, but in all earnest we all know it will be pushed under the carpet like all the other dirt and cobwebs in Goan politics but I pray to the authorities to be wise enough and investigate all the globe trotting Goan politicians who fly at jet-speed for their illicit rendezvous at the cost of the Goan Aam Aadmi !

India, China, Russia are the International crooks and criminals. They do not believe in human rights of others and their citizens. They annexe other helpless neighbors by force. Soviet Union became so large by annexing entire East Europe and East Asia, at last the balloon burst, because Soviet Union could not stabilize under the annexed dominion.
China annexed Tibet in 1961.
India invaded Goa, Damao and Diu by using brutal force against a helpless Province of Portugal. The people of Goa never asked the brutal indian invader for their help, instead they invaded Goa, Damao and Diu on their own freewill to loot Goan assets, land, natural harbor, and mineral mines. The indian Criminal Nehru sent down 50,000 sex hungry troops of one Sardarjhi regiment and the other Goorka regiment vs the unprepared Goan Army made of Goan and the Portuguese Pacles of mere total of 5,000 young semi trained soldiers vs 50,000 indian soldiers..
The Punjabhi Sardarjhis regiment later raped Goan young Portuguese Paclinahas by force, they chased these young and old women, some mothers, some wives, some children Goan Portuguese women, and these women raped in gangs by Sardharjhis without human mercy, the orders were given to these sex hungry soldiers as a prize of winning the war Vijay by Criminal Jawarhalal Nehru and V. S. K. Menon and some self made criminal freedom fighters likes of Purshotam Kakodkar, Lambert & Telo Mascarenhas, Sinary, Gaitonde, etc. they called the Goan Portuguese white women as the spoilts of war, the honor prize of rape for these sex hungry Indian soldiers.
The India and China must be questioned in UN for Annexing Goa, Tibet. India must be broken down to multi-nations country in order to reduce its army into pieces and promoting human rights with its untouchable citizens such that it never attacks again the helpless neighbors Goa, Damao, e Diu.
Viva Goa, Damao e Diu

IS INDIA A GOAT??
In the recently passed UN resolution mandating UN to implement No Fly Zone over Libya, India along with Brazil, China, Russia abstained from voting in the resolution thereby converting India’s status as that of a dumb Goat. Abstaining from voicing its opinion either for or against is a job of a Dumb. Is India such a mighty power so impotent to voice its opinion on such an important and crucial issue? If tomorrow India gets a Seat in UN as permanent Member wielding even a Veto power then what will be India’s position? How the weak nations and weak people attacked and massacred by the brute powers and dictatorial governments will get help from India which is on record to support the human rights all over the World?
Ghaddafi is killing his own people in the East of Libya, these Libyans are demanding democracy and other liberties from Ghaddafi who is ruling Libya for the last 41 years as if he is th e master of Libyans and Libyan citizens are his slaves. Holding power for such a long period has gone to his head and made him absolutely corrupt. When East Pakistani Bengalis started demanding liberties and democratic rights for them from West Pakistan, Gen. Yaha Khan the president of Pakistan instructed his military in East Pakistan to commit rapes and genocide on Bengali people. Because of this there was turmoil in East Pakistan forcing people there to flee to India. Bengali refugees started pouring into India forcing India to raise its voice against the catastrophic calamity taking place in East Pakistan finally provoking India to wage a deadly war against Pakistan in East Pakistan till East Pakistan was liberated from the West. When India is on record to wage a war against neighbouring country to stop it from brutalising its own citizens then why not India openly side with the suppressed people of Libya who are asking democratic rights for them? Moreover, huge number of suppressed Libyans are fleeing to Italy as refugees to avoid persecution of Ghaddafi in their own land just like East Pakistani Bengalis were doing under the persecution of Gen. Yaha Khan.
India is looked upon by the suppressed people all around the globe as protector of their rights and privileges and suppressed Libyan people were expecting India not only to support their cause openly but also to condemn Ghaddafi and his dictatorial regime. By keeping its neutrality India put itself into a shame in the eyes of the democratic World. This was never expected from India that is championing democracy and the cause of suppressed people all around the world.
On behalf of all the suppressed people demanding democratic rights for them I condemn India’s stand on Libya. India showed its acceptance of Ghaddafi’s brutalising of his own Arab Muslim people in its Eastern sector. India professes to be the champion of democracy but in Libyan case India proved its cam paign for democracy is nothing but a big Hoax. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in his masterpiece “If I Am Assassinated” written from the prison cell where he was confined before facing the gallows said that India remained united after its independence only because of its shout of democracy which is nothing but a big Hoax. If India remained as India till now it is only because of its democratic slogan thru which it kept itself as a homogeneous entity, otherwise India is not a true democracy, people are fooled in India in the name of the “Mantra” called democracy.
According to me India is not the supporter of democracy, for its selfish benefits it supports even anti-democratic and undemocratic regimes and dictators. During the invasion of Kuwait India also played its dirty dual role of Dr. Jackyl and Mr. Hyde by showing its neutrality instead of condemning Saddam Hussein for illegally invading Kuwait. Moreover, it sent its Foreign Minister Gujral to Baghdad to embrace Saddam H ussein and to kiss his hand thereby approving Saddam Hussein as a hero for invading Kuwait? India is governed by a few people having love for dictatorship in the name of democracy. With the Lollipop of democracy in its hand India is fooling the poor Indian masses who do not understand democracy. India is ruled by a group of dictators against the wishes of the people at the Centre as well as in the States.
I applaud the coalition partners mainly USA, France, Britain and other countries for stopping Ghaddafi and his soldiers from killing and raping his own people in Libya I also applaud NATO for taking full control of stopping Ghaddafi from doing any further harm to civilian Libyans. By this action of theirs, it is once again proved that World will be better protected only by the democratic West and NOT by India, China, Russia and their impotent partners who like to watch as silent spectators when Ghaddafis kill and maim their own people for asking democracy and mo re democratic rights in their own countries. All the Ghaddafis in the world especially in the Middle East must go either peacefully or forcefully. Then only there will be peace in this region.

JESUS CHRIST WAS A TRUE REBEL.
Jesus Christ was a true rebel and his life was a continuous revolt against the corrupt political and religious leaders of his time. As Christians we need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and revolt against the corrupt, greedy, selfish and rogue elements that have infiltrated the Christian (catholic/protestant) religious orders, revolt against parish priests who misuse church funds, revolt against parish priests who are illegally selling away vacant church properties, revolt against christian/convent schools which refuse to reserve 50% seats for christians, revolt against corrupt sarkari babus, revolt against corrupt politicians, revolt against inflation, revolt against various scams & scamsters, revolt against slumlords, revolt against mafia backed builders, revolt against the incestuous network between the land mafia - bureaucracy - muncipality - builders - politicians, etc etc etc. We also need to encourage our Christian youth to work towards becoming IAS-IPS officers, Doctors, Lawyers, Architects, Engineers, CAs, IITians, etc etc etc. We also need to enourage our Christian youth to apply for jobs in Banking sector, Muncipality, Police forces, Commando Units, Defence Forces, Judiciary, etc etc. We also need to encourage Christian activists to contest Lok Sabha, Assembly, Municipal elections. We need to improve the standard of living of everyone.
To solve the shortage of priests in our churches we need to develop electronic robots and programme those robots to perform different types of masses.
If the Indian govt. can set aside 150000 crores for the defence budget why not set aside a budget of a few thousand crores to fund the election campaigns of politicians this way the politicians will not have to depend on builders, slumlords, landmafia, underworld for election funds. The Govt. should provide election funds to only those candidates who have been consistently involved in social work in their respective areas for the last five years.
Whatever negative things in India are happening because successive governments failed to improve infrastructure, industries, job opportunities in rural & backward districts, failed to strictly enforce the two child policy, failed to control female foeticide/infanticide, failed to pass stringent anti-corruption laws, failed to recover the black – hawala – swiss money and OFCOURSE failed to setup fast track courts to deal with Divisive Politicians & their Hired goons.
In Kerala some bishops are persuading the lay Christians to have more children but this persuasion is not going to work because Christians irrespective of whether they live in Kerala or any other part of India are only interested in one or two children. Planet Earth does NOT have Unlimited Resources to satisfy the wants and needs of every individual hence population control is justified. Christians across the world are sensible enough to have one or two children it is the other communities especially Muslims & Hindus whose population keeps growing and needs to be controlled.
In this country named India, democracy means rioting on the streets, attacking innocent civilians, going on strike every two days, stifling expressions of speech, destroying property, and spreading civil terror...Most of these marauders are religious-political parties, political leaders, and their hired goons. In other words, the very people who pull the levers of this democratic machinery are the ones looting and plundering on the streets.
At the heart of the problem in the corruption in the catholic church in Bombay is the concept of sole trusteeship whereby powers of acquisition, disposal and sale of Church property are vested in one person, the parish priest. With the surfacing of scams and the knowledge that parasitic priests are easily let off with punishment transfers, the growing fold of doubting Thomases has brought fundamentals to the fore. It is a crisis of character and not one of faith. As in every walk of life, priesthood is no longer a vocation, it is now a career. There's nothing wrong with it except that a priest should have the necessary qualifications that his work profile demands. The increasingly incensed laity is finally unwilling to go along with the conventional 'pray, pay and obey'. And with the willful loss of Church land, one notion has been gaining ground: that priests just want to have funds and why do the priests need tons of funds ? obviously to live a luxury lifestyle.
An important feature of Maharashtra 's economy is its pathetic dependence on the Bombay Metropolitan region. The Bombay Metropolitan region accounts for 75 per cent of the industrial activity in Maharashtra and nearly 65 per cent of the factory workers in the State. It is because of Bombay that Maharashtra appears to be India 's most urbanished and industrially advanced State. But excluding Bombay, even now, Maharashtra is not merely as backward as any other state in India but in certain respects indeed more backward than many other less industrialized states of the country. The infrastructure of the economy of rural Maharashtra is not much developed, Villages in Maharashtra generally lack adequate means of transport and communication. Particularly road mileage in Maharashtra is found woefully inadequate when compared to that in many less industrialized states in India.
Bombay culture is characterized by dhandha (transaction). The ethic of Bombay is quick enrichment. A well-executed scam is considered "a thing of beauty". Billionaires and repulsive deprivation abide in Bombay city where violence and muscle power can strike without warning. The corruption in BMC is the root cause of all the slums & illegal constructions in Bombay.
Unlimited Floor space Index, Unlimited TDRs, Exploitation of open spaces – mangroves – saltpanlands – gardens – playgrounds for construction purpose, SRA buildings, MHADA buildings, Skyscrapers, Big budget Residential complexes, Govt. Housing colonies, Maharashtra Rental Housing buildings a lot of construction is happening all across the Bombay region without any study being carried out on how all this constructions will affect the environment, water supply, transportation, garbage, drainage, etc etc etc.
