Around The World In 365 Days -6

Mumbai's frequent fliers
Ramkrishna Dhavlikar's flying so frequently to Mumbai is intriguing. He flew to Mumbai almost on a monthly basis, never outside that period and often for short stays of 36 hours which given the time it takes to drive in metros like Mumbai and Chennai, makes it even more interesting. Driving from and to airports within these metros takes a minimium of four hours. Factor in the night and office opening and closing timings and commuting within these metros, would leave him with not much time to perform his duties. Factor in his flying to two faraway metros in 2-3 days and you will need an aspirin to figure that one out. That's why I said his Mumbai trips are intriguing.

A long time ago I wrote in this column that the Speaker Pratapsingh Rane hired three lawyers Surendra Desai, TR Andhyarujina and A. Subhashini to fight the disqualification petition against the two MGP MLAs Ramkrishna and Deepak Dhavlikar in the Supreme Court. Desai was paid Rs9 lakh, Andhyarujina Rs5 lakh and Subhashini Rs1.21 lakh. That's a total of Rs15,21,000. I've said it before, I say it again. The Dhavlikar duo are turning out to be a luxury Goa cannot afford.

Burp-worthy feast

Living to eat -8

The Last Supper
This is the last in the series and I assure there won't be on encore because I am moving on to more meaty things, like the shenanigans elsewhere. So, keep watching this space. It was fun determining whether our montris live to eat or eat to live, except of course for the many trips to the Secretariat only to find the official not in his/her seat and for the keying in of all those exhaustive details. My fingers still hurt and it only increased the chances of my getting carpel tunnel syndrome. But don't thank me -thank Sonia Gandhi whose idea it was to give Indians the only weapon (The Right To Information Act) we have to fight back, because we still haven't learnt how to use the ballot box to benefit us.

C for Development, D for Churchill
Do I contrive to change the spelling of development, not exactly, just trying to put it in Churchill's perspective. He is after all, the only Congress politician who still insists Goans breathe only to oppose development. Let's take a single example of such development, in rural Tivim. Not that urban Vasco, Margao and most of Panjim have even basic infrastructure like a sewerage system or enough potable water. A Mumbai builder Expat Properties (how appropriate!) has begun building 32 duplex flats on 8,000 sq mt land sold by Anthony Lobo and his clan of fortunate inheritors. While EP's plans may be legitimate and within Goa's archaic planning framework, this huge complex will only add to the concrete jungle spreading over Goa, diminish the diminishing greenery, spoil Goa's natural character and only make Goans more chary of the fact they no longer can afford real estate in their own land. Which is why Bodiem is opposing it.

For them it's not a question of controlled ODP's, or building rules and regulations, it's a question of leaving Bodiem entirely out of the realm of the real estate sharks who are going to build whichever way anyway, rule and regulations be damned. It was Dhirubhai Ambani remember who coined the word "management" and put it to maximum use. They know no ODP, rule or regulation, will come to their aid because they know the government does not have the machinery to enforce any rule or regulation nor, does it have the political will to do so. Gutka, smoking in public places, urinating, drug use, rape, murder –there is very little that is not banned in fact- but look around you. Even High Court verdicts are not enforced.

Back to Bodiem village in VP Sircaim where the sarpanch Diksha Kanolkar's role is definitely suspect. Villagers fear water from the huge swimming pool will be released into the earth along with its chemical disinfectants, so will sewerage waste. And where will the water from the pool come from? Already, EP began to dig a borewell without permission of the VP (so much for regulatory systems.) It has shown 35 car parks for the 32 duplex flats but in a straight line, with no direct access to the exiting road against the existing rule of reserving space 2.5 mt x 5 mt for each car park.

Around The World In 365 Days –5

Goa's Flying Circus
Wait till you see the flight expenses of the government IAS officers. That added to the cost of flying our montris to Delhi, that almost on paper looks like a shuttle service, all add up to a mind blowing expense. And imagine, they already had a secretariat in Panjim, than they went and built another one in Porvorim at a tremendous cost. It just goes on and on, build, build, build, fly, fly, fly. But then who are we to criticize Goa's new rulers, after all Churchill has proclaimed time and again that development equals putting up concrete jungles on peoples' land. Even Babu Kavlekar is no longer confused between SEZ, food parks and auxiliary parks. But not Churchill, goggles on, crash helmet on, firmly saddled in his PWD seat, he is on the fast lane or should we call it four-lane to 'development.'

Intriguingly Parrikar and Ravi Naik's (and especially his) extensive flying to Mumbai that apart from raising your hackles also raise deep suspicions. Ravi Naik's as I said look like blatant junkets because his flights were overwhelmingly to Mumbai. Just for the record Rs1,41,965 of tax money was spent flying him exclusively to Mumbai from a total of Rs2,80,422 in the short period researched.

A Merry Feast

Living to eat –7

Sticky Fingers
At a grand total of Rs1,34,16,340 for the period April 2004 to 2007 only, you would be spot on if you felt that our montris and MLAs are a part of the garbage problem. Imagine if all the hundreds of thousands of tourists and our 40 fortune hunters took a break away from Goa for a change, Goa would actually be garbage free. What a delightful thought. Seriously, nothing personal but one just has to go to any tourist destination to see that eating means garbage generated. Ask any foreign tourist coming to Goa for the last 10-15 years and he/she will tell you that what has changed in green and clean Goa is that now it is pockmarked with piles of colourful garbage everywhere. There is an expression that goes: Eating one out of home and hearth. I'm beginning to learn what that means.

Food Finale
Finally, I can draw the curtains on an extravaganza all of us would want to forget. While Subhash Shirodkar spent Rs1,07,682 on June 21, 2006 (see his spend sheet below) on a dinner for the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Social Justice Empowerment, Rane spent Rs55,615 on June 22 and the Chief Secretary JP Singh Rs 52,594 on June 22.
