PUBLIC
SINS, PRIVATE LUCRE, GOA DAMNED
Valmiki Faleiro writes:
Goa’s stink would put a skunk to shame. Never was
the awful stench of corruption in public life so overpowering, so
intense, so pervasive. Originating from ministerial chambers in the
State Secretariat, bribe culture permeated down to the lowest rung of
Government functioning. So rampant it today is that we, the people, have
accepted it as ‘A way of life.’

Faleiro writes:
Gone
are the days when driving schools hardly existed in Goa and road
fatalities were rare. But there were men like Cruz and Dixit,
who conducted stringent driving tests before issuing a licence.

A Shocker from
Chennai ! -
Chetan Chauhan,
Hindustan Times:
A study in Chennai has found
that as many as 42 per cent of school-going children are victims
of sexual abuse. And in most of the cases, the perpetrators are either

Goa’s appalling
road sense-
3
by Valmiki Faleiro:
Expert driving
alone does not make safe drivers. *Road sense,* coupled with fair skill,
would avert bulk of road carnage – emerging, slowly but inexorably, as
Goa’s major tragedy.
A tribute to
Anjediva's Poristhar -
by Anthony
Baretto: Born on 4 October
1912, Poristhar completed his Segundo Grau and started a career in the
military. His next posting was as Commander on Anjediv for 16
years and new the place like the back of his hand. “I spent the best
years of my life on the Anjediv Island. Life was full of excitement,” he
would add nostalgically.
Goa’s appalling
road sense-2
by Valmiki Faleiro:
India
with 10 million vehicles has 87,000 accidents a year. Japan with 74
million vehicles has 8,400. Goa, with a fraction of a single million
vehicles, has 3,000+ reported accidents per annum! Sadly, that’s where
we stand.
Driving Skills in
Goa: What Driving Skills?
by Valmiki Faleiro :
Bad roads and too
many vehicles do not cause accidents. People who drive them do. Abysmal
driving skills and an appalling lack of road sense are the conjoined
twins primarily responsible for death and misery on Goa’s roads.
Goa’s appalling
road sense-1
by Valmiki Faleiro :
Lack of good
driving skills is one part of Goa’s problem. The other is our appalling
road sense.....
Violence is Never
the Answer - TGF
It is a sad
commentary on those in the power-blocs who fomented this atmosphere of
communalism, those in the press who should have known better but decided
to stick their ostrichoid heads into the sand, the educated who should
have anticipated wisely but chose to follow instead of leading, and all
those who sold their souls for a few pieces of silver.

Best of luck to all the Goans who are anxious to get through this
ordeal, which should have really been a smooth one, "punn bhaile lokhan
piddar konn ghallem". As a Catholic I will say "Devan tumkam sogleank
adhar dinvum".
