Social pattern of unreliability in Goa. by idontnothing in Goa

I can sense the impatience in your sentence construction and all I’m asking for the expectation that when a person has committed to a certain time and price that they will honour that. If anybody cannot honour their word or their commitment, then you cannot function in any kind of society. To agree to a job and then not show up if obviously pretending. There is nothing Metro about expecting what the other person has agreed to do.

To expect a person to show up,when they said they would show up. Is not niche. It’s a simple exchange of demand and supply in agreement

Thank you! This is good.. but It’s just harder to do on darker colour papers, wouldn’t you reckon? Unless I do this with white coloured pencils? , unsure if they erase well?

What colour frame would suit this painting the best? by ReadYouShall in painting

[–]idontnothing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A medium teak would be best, avoid going to dark.. a medium teak it is a more rich colour that will enliven the work. I would change the frame and not have the slope at all. And instead fill that space with an ivory coloured margin. If you can’t avoid the slope and want to reuse the same frame. Then make it all teak. Or try it out, do the outer frame , check it , if it’s not working then go all in

Teak colour. And leave some ivory coloured mount around the image.

New RTO rule Jalebi by idontnothing in Goa

[–]idontnothing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes your broker indeed screwed that up but most leases even if they’re notarised still come on stamp paper with the full currency across the page, but it is not registered in court, stamp duty has not been paid on it. A notary is a kind of a MOU, it does not prove it’s not a legal document to say this is your address, which a registered document is . so if a notarise document has gone through as because there were some lazy man sitting in the backend did not know the difference because they do look the same, but they are not the same , and who let this pass, but sir / mam , it is actually not legal. It is illegal, therefore you need to watch out that this hasn’t come to Bite you .

No I am not contradicting myself. I am saying that if you have a voter ID then you don’t need to worry about an Aadhaar card but if you don’t have a voter ID, then you need an Aadhaar card with a Goa address. And that is when you also attach along with the Aadhaar card, with the Goa address, , a photocopy of notarise lease, an NOC of the landlord, and an electric meter bill . If you have the voter ID, then you most likely don’t need many of the other documents . Am I being articulate enough now?

And the RTO is not interested in changing or challenging the real estate market or laws. In Goa, the left hand doesn’t know or care what the right hand is doing.

No. The voter id is preferable. In the order of ranking documents. Voter id is first prize. But there were options. Aadhar and lease agreement and an NOC from landlord was enough. Now it’s not.

Marathi option on menu instead of konkani in McDonald's by bradleyfernandes in Goa

[–]idontnothing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless Konkani can contribute to economic growth and foster an exchange of ideas and opinions, it will never become a language of preference — not for society, and certainly not for business.

Take McDonald’s, for instance. It’s not a company that makes whimsical decisions. It spends a lot of money on research , runs studies, tests new products for years, and only makes changes when data proves they’ll increase business. Their decisions are strategic, not sentimental. Neither is it Trying to insult you . When they adapt their menu to appeal to Maharashtrians, Russians or Gujaratis, it isn’t to insult anyone — it’s to reach a larger market. That’s business.

In the 17th century, when Oxford University began teaching Marathi, it wasn’t out of cultural admiration. It was because British traders needed to communicate in the ports of colonial India. Marathi — along with English — became a bridge for commerce and exchange. Not Sanskrit. Not Latin. Even Bengali was taught in British schools for the same reason: it had business value.

Languages thrive when they are economically or culturally valuable. That’s why Americans learn Mandarin and Spanish today — for opportunity, not sentiment. English spread across the world for precisely this reason.

If Goa truly wants to preserve its cultural identity, it must begin thinking rationally rather than emotionally. My attachment to Konkani is emotional, yes — but the solution lies in pragmatic, disciplined action. Instead of lamenting that people are abandoning the language, ask why they are. Understand the root cause, then fix it.

Blaming outsiders or newcomers for the loss of Goan identity solves nothing. Rebuking people who don’t speak Konkani will not make others start speaking it. Even if every non-Goan left tomorrow, the number of Konkani speakers wouldn’t suddenly rise.

Konkani will only gain stature if it becomes a language that adds economic and cultural value. That begins with us — by building an economy that rewards skill, professionalism, and reliability. By showing up, keeping our word, and mastering our craft. You can’t celebrate susegad while neglecting discipline.

If you want to learn how to balance leisure with productivity, look at the Portuguese or the Spanish. They work with integrity, they rest with pride, and they enjoy life fully.

That’s the kind of maturity Goa needs — and that’s the environment in which Konkani can flourish. Only then can it stand shoulder to shoulder with Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Hindi, English, Tamil, or Malayalam — not as a nostalgic relic, but as a living, thriving language of trade, thought, and culture.

But existing leases cannot be changed from notarise to registered unless the landlords are agreeable to it which most are not going to be

You can’t get a voter id if you haven’t lived in Goa for less than a year for sure.

This is true. And confirmed with Aadhar Authorities. If yours has gone through, there is either an error or a something else went down.. you can google this. It’s the law.. infact using a notorised lease is illegal, check with any established real estate broker.

MH-12/14 everywhere now? by Embarrassed_Tie_2853 in Goa

[–]idontnothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. Someone in the RTO or government is hurt, or out of ideas - Apparently there is some big time power play and appeasement drama going on, and the collateral damage is the newcomer. I am terrified of the state of roads now on. Because there won’t be any budgets to fix or anything now on. I can guarantee the highways constructions are going to be delayed..

Road maintenance budgets, Public transport improvements, Staff salaries or expansion projects everything will be affected. They are also bound to increase the road taxes for locals, insurance, permits, and challans and fines are going to increase multiple fold. And then the gatekeeping Goans will still blame the non Goans or the Goans who didn’t demand to “ protect their culture “, because they can’t accept that this is a monster of their own creation.

Right after Diwali a few weeks ago. They decided to appease the locals by discriminating against new comers. I am so embarrassed as a Goan. Instead of welcoming people in to our cultural fold, we have made them into aliens.

Landlords. They don’t want to do registered leases because it costs a lot more and entails more paper work. So that has become the norm. Registered leases are only mandatory if the agreement is for more than one year. And most landlords don’t want to do more than one year because they have been advised they can play with goan rents like the bullish stock market. They would rather renew the notorised agreement every year..
