You made the tough decisions in times of feud
\nThrough troubles and tribulations, you performed the best
\nMr Parrikar, we express our deepest gratitude
\nIt\u2019s because of you that we can rest.<\/p>\n
Through sleepless nights you trudged and trudged
\nYou gave us strength when hope was bleak
\nAnd at countless times, you were judged
\nYet before you, all opposition seemed weak.<\/p>\n
You did it all, for a nation, not party
\nFaced the Surgical Strike which came as a test
\nGracefully strode through the marsh, hale and hearty
\nIt\u2019s because of you, that we can rest.<\/p>\n
Guiding us till the very end, an honourable soldier, you kept your word
\nOne of the only knowledgeable entities, on this path lay your quest
\nAnd you did it with dignity, standing out from the herd
\nAll this is because of you, so now, you can rest.<\/p>\n

\nWho would never let any Goan toil<\/p>\n
\n\u2018Every Goan is mine\u2019<\/p>\n
\nSimple was his reach to the people too<\/p>\n
\nBut fought the deadliest fight of all…with death itself, for he knew
\nWe need to see the light more than we see the brew<\/p>\n
\nMaybe the lord himself was in need of him<\/p>\n
\nA day and year
\nTo remember by every Goan
\nMan who believed in
\n\u2018Less discussion and more action\u2019<\/p>\n
\nStarted from Mapusa
\nAnd reached IIT Bombay
\nHe never gave attention
\nTo criticism and whatever they say.<\/p>\n
\nImplemented One Rank One Pension Scheme,
\nWith basic core of RSS teaching,
\nHe fought with surgical strike and completed dream.<\/p>\n
\nHe presented budget
\nWith full Josh and hosh
\nHe didn\u2019t care
\nLife threatening disease
\nHis mind was serving Goa till he was relieved.<\/p>\n
\nTo see him as the defence minister.
\nAn epitome of integrity and dedication
\nHis service to the people of nation would not be forgotten.<\/p>\n
\nSon of Goan soil
\nOn March 17 left us
\nWith tears in our eyes and
\nMessage to be simple and wise and serve our nation.<\/p>\n
\nA person who served the nation
\nWith a very simple way of life
\nThis was a propellant of his successful life.<\/p>\n
\nHe reached a high platform of IIT through
\nDedication and determination.<\/p>\n
\nAlso served for several nights to on a mission called surgical strike
\nAs defence minister of big nation called India.<\/p>\n
\nBut later on was identified as a diamond because of such a respected leader and person.
\nAlways he was busy like a buzzing bee who builds its honeycomb
\nHe was busy in different developments to bring the nation under developing countries.<\/p>\n
\nBut never forgot to serve his beautiful state even
\nWhen he was fighting an evil called cancer.
\nIf we all try to share his views and thinking
\nTo showcase our condolence towards him<\/p>\n
\nNo one will forget him as his name suggests uniqueness and unity
\nOur beloved \u2018Bhai Manohar Parrikar\u2019.<\/p>\n
\nThe brightest star
\nIn the political horizon of Goa,
\nWith a profound ability
\nTo inspire and infuse passion,
\nCreated milestones
\nAnd gave Goa a new identity.<\/p>\n
\nAnd coalition builder
\nBelonging to a rare breed of politicians
\nSoaked in simplicity, sincerity
\nDedication and utmost integrity
\nHe emerged as a leader
\nOf national importance,
\nHe was a politician with a difference.<\/p>\n
\nA steadfast visionary
\nTill his last breath.<\/p>\n
\nThere\u2019s a void creating a heart-throbbing pain.<\/p>\n
\nHe personified simplicity and nationalism.<\/p>\n
\nURI attack proved his fearless trait.<\/p>\n
\nGood governance and leadership was his bruch<\/p>\n
\nPatal bhaji and fish curry manifested savoury<\/p>\n
\nProdigious ailment,
\n\u2018A hosh full of Josh\u2019 was his last statement.<\/p>\n
\nFor generations to come, he will be a role model!<\/p>\n
\nFor a dream to transform into reality, what\u2019s obligatory is having courage and sincerity.
\nA symbol of patriotism and simplicity
\nA personality with perfect integrity.<\/p>\n
\nA true son of the soil, whose selfless service and love towards his state and the country was incredible.
\nHe will always be an inspiration.<\/p>\n
\nHe conquered every Goan\u2019s heart
\nPeople earned votes
\nHe earned people\u2019s hearts<\/p>\n
\nAs this person was busy making others
\nHe made the best use of his time
\nTo make Goa more beautiful and fine<\/p>\n
\nI am glad that he saw his dream come true<\/p>\n
\nWho work for the people
\nAnd not for themselves alone
\nNeither was nor will there be
\nA person like you<\/p>\n
\nAren\u2019t enough to describe every bit of you
\nBut glad am I that I could write at least
\nA word or two about you.<\/p>\n
