By Glen Fernandes The other day I was watching a circus. The music was loud, the crowd was excited and then came the clowns—those funny, fearless performers who stole the spotlight. They ran in with colourful clothes, painted faces and wild tricks. One slipped on a banana peel, another got hit with a fake hammer and a third kept losing his hat to the wind. The audience roared with laughter and so did I. But later that night, a quiet thought came to my mind—aren’t we all clowns, in some way? We are all part of this everyday circus. Most…

In politics, perception is power. And today, the perception is clear — Dr. Pramod Sawant is no longer the reluctant Chief Minister operating under shadows; he is emerging as the decisive authority Goa’s political corridors have not seen since the towering presence of the late Manohar Parrikar. The sacking of Govind Gaude from the Cabinet is not just a ministerial reshuffle, it is a loud and clear message from the Chief Minister that he is no longer willing to tolerate dissent within the ranks, especially when it threatens to portray the government as divided or vulnerable. Sawant’s crisp assertion to…
Team Goemkarponn Panaji: With the sudden sacking of Minister Govind Gaude, political circles in Goa are abuzz with speculation over who will be inducted into the Pramod Sawant Cabinet to fill the now-vacant slot. While no official announcement has been made yet, strong indications point toward Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Ramesh Tawadkar, emerging as the frontrunner. Sources within the BJP confirm that replacing one Scheduled Tribe (ST) leader with another is a calculated move to maintain the community balance within the Cabinet and avoid alienating the influential ST vote base. Gaude, a prominent ST leader, had been embroiled in…
New Delhi: After years of anticipation and delays, the Indian Archery League is finally set to launch in October 2025 at New Delhi’s Yamuna Sports Complex, the Archery Association of India (AAI) announced on Tuesday.

Team Goemkarponn Panaji: With the dramatic removal of Govind Gaude from the Goa Cabinet, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has fired the first political warning shot, setting the stage for what many believe could be a larger Cabinet reshuffle in the days ahead. Gaude’s sacking came late Monday evening, weeks after he publicly hinted at corruption within the government, indirectly pointing fingers at the Chief Minister himself. While the CM maintained a stoic silence throughout the controversy, the axe eventually fell and fell hard. But Gaude isn’t the only one who has stirred political waves this month. Health Minister Vishwajit Rane…
CM’s DAY OUT…. 11 AM: Chaired key meetings at the Secretariat. 12.30 PM: Led a meeting with industry leaders; warned against youth exploitation. 4 PM: Attended MLA Michael Lobo’s birthday in Parra; shared light-hearted banter. 7 PM: Shock move — recommended Minister Govind Gaude’s sacking, accepted by Governor. 8 PM : Seen singing bhajans at a Hari Path in Sanquelim, unfazed by political drama. SURAJ NANDREKAR Panaji: It was just another day at the office – at least on the surface – for Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant. Meetings, photo ops, policy discussions, and even a birthday bash for a…
New Delhi: India men’s cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir has rejoined the national squad in Leeds, England, ahead of the first Test against England starting on June 20.
