Our nation will always remain indebted to the current Chief Justice of India NV Ramana for all his strenuous efforts to regain and restore the much needed independence of the Judiciary. His three immediate predecessors took the Judiciary to a point of disdain by compromising its very sanctity and Sovereignty. Given the battered state of […]

SANCTITY OF ELECTIONS SHOULD NOT BE COMPROMISED
In a democracy free and fair elections are fundamental, as otherwise it would be an exercise in futility. Politicians in Power must not manipulate and dictate terms to officials whose mandate is to ensure free and fair polls. IAS officers are transferred within three years but strangely Goa’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Mr. Kunal has […]
MEETING WITH MR. P. CHIDAMBARAM
It was enlightening to meet this morning the former Union Finance Minister and Senior Advocate Mr. P. Chidambaram. Was happy to share with him some of my humble thoughts on rescuing Goa and saving what remains of it. The very knowledgeable and articulate Mr. Chidambaram clearly stands for Discipline and Total commitment.
NAVIGATING CYBERSPACE EVERY MORNING
There couldn’t be a better way to start the day than by sharing one’s thoughts with people across the globe through various groups on Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter and other internet based mailing lists. With hundreds of thousands of people that I am able to communicate with every morning, on cyberspace, coming from varied strata of […]
GSIDC PAVING PATHS TO HELL
As a regular user of Atal Setu, it can be seen that the number of potholes on this bridge is just increasing by the day. The government has announced that IIT Chennai has been entrusted the task of assessing the defects of Atal Setu. But this is no solace as hundreds of crores have been […]
THE HORROR OF LIES & DECEIT
Those in Power and Authority should be always truthful and never lie. But Chief Minister Pramod Sawant seems to be breaching this with impunity. He has now falsely claimed that Goa is the first State to have ensured 102% vaccination of the first dose of the COVID vaccine. This being far from the truth, it […]
UNCARING GOVT PULLS THE RUG FROM UNDER ITS EMPLOYEES FEET
The Goa government has heartlessly played with the lives and wellbeing of all and sundry. Injustice galore not sparing even its own employees. In a drastic step having far reaching financial implications on hundreds of its employees an order was issued suddenly last year withdrawing the Housing Building Advance (HBA) Scheme given to Government employees. […]
GOA AT CROSSROADS
In a few months Goa will go to the polls to elect its 40 MLAs and a government for the next five years. Propriety demands that the current government in its dying days does not initiate any new projects and lay cosmetic foundation stones to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. It would be prudent […]
A CASE MERITING THE JUDICIARY TO HANG ITS ITSELF
The reported news that the disqualification petition against those 10 Congress MLAs will be heard through video-conferencing on 15th September by a specially constituted bench of the Bombay High Court headed by Justice K.K.Tated is just hilarious. As Justice Tated is due to retire in three days on 18th September, the scripted show will just […]
HAS THE COVID EXPERT COMMITTEE SUCCUMBED TO THE CASINO AGENDA?
The expert committee of doctors constituted to advise the Goa Government on measures to prevent and manage the third wave effectively should be allowed to function independently by being free from political manipulation whatsoever. Would it not amount to conflict of interests that the Chief of the Goa BJP Medical cell has managed to find […]
