Action is a much needed step to wake the slumbering government into achievements. But any appropriate action on any grievance of citizens ‘should be within permissible limit’ or else the hoi polloi will be proactive or reactive to the situation.
Agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy. Government should preserve our green spaces. Acquiring agricultural land for the purpose of developing infrastructure like airports, expansion of roads, highways, industrial estates and housing estates ‘should be within permissible limit’ or else there will be food scarcity in future. Selling of fertile land should be curtailed by the government or else politicians may sell every square inch of fertile land to the builder lobby.
The pleasures in ‘Man ki baat’; ‘Dhan ki baat’ or ‘Jan ki baat’ ‘should be within permissible limit’ not in excess to fool educated fools and wise, illiterate farmers for it may boomerang.
Any type of changes, in policies, politicians take ‘should be within permissible limit’ or else it may shake our sense of security. Even personal changes must be dealt with or handled with and managed ‘within permissible limit’ or else one may change jobs or spouses every year.

Corruption has percolated to the marrow of our bones. Corruption has its roots in the soul in the form of vices: ‘it should be checked within permissible limit’ or else it will eat into the vitals of the human soul robbing us of total peace, love and truth; damaging good governance, distorting public policy, leading to waste of resources and hampering development. The Selaulim Dam in South Goa; The Tillari Dam in North Goa and the Anjunem irrigation project should be activated to the maximum ‘within permissible limit’ or else its capacity to irrigate large hectares of land for yields and profit making will remain idle.
Desires can never be satisfied. If one desire is fulfilled, it gives birth to many more desires. Desire is like a voracious fire, the more fuel you put into it, the more intensely it blazes; therefore, ‘it should be controlled within permissible limit’ or else it will breed suffering.
Development in Goa should be ‘within permissible limit’ or else Goa will be ruined and looted in the name of development. There will be total environmental destruction in Goa, and the damage done will be irreversible.
