If only! Goa would be able to speak, cry… forget the sorrow of a friend.


Author: Vineet Tripathi
That picture is not disappearing from the eyes. There was no ink left in my pen to express his/her unbearable pain. I don’t have the talent to write about the problems of Goa. Every time I move my finger on the mobile, the same scene appears. We can only imagine what it would be like if our truest friend had passed away. his/her body should be in front of us. he/she is locked in a glass coffin. A lot of people should surround him/her. Some are crying and some are sitting silently. Flowers and garlands may be showering but my friend remains silent. We are only able to see but cannot cry or say anything. The condition of Goa will be similar. Yes, Ratan Tata’s closest friend from Goa. he/she is an animal. Doggy Goa’s video is not limited to just one video. This is a story of immense love for the voiceless.

Ratan Tata's dog 'Goa' paid tribute at his/her funeral. Watch viral video - times of India

Was brought to Goa for Ratan Tata’s last darshan. his/her face, his/her eyes, his/her expressions, his/her behavior everything had changed. he/she was feeling very upset, disappointed and broken. he/she just wanted to go to his/her friend with fast steps. he/she is speechless so he/she cannot even scream and cry. he/she cannot express his/her pain. But whoever saw Goa cried. Goa sat near the dead body of his/her friend Ratan Tata. Kept staring at him/her. Kept staring. his/her soul must be bursting from within. he/she was thinking that at least once my friend would call me by my name. Goa, Goa’s voice is lost. That person went missing. The Ratan for whom the whole country was crying was lost. Goa remained around Ratan Tata’s body. Many people were caressing Goa’s head but he/she was not getting any relief. Even if there is relief, how? The one with whom he/she spent mornings, evenings and nights had set out on an eternal journey forever. Goa has stopped eating and drinking. At the time of the funeral, when photographers were pushing to take pictures of Goa, the caretaker of Goa said to let him/her go. he/she hasn’t eaten anything since morning.

It is not within our power to imagine the internal situation of Goa. Goa has been living in Bombay House for 11 years. he/she is the most special one of Ratan Tata. Often used to play with Ratan Tata. Tata employees had gone to Goa for some work. Then this dog started running behind him/her. Tata employees brought him/her with them to Mumbai. When Ratan Tata met the dog, he/she named it Goa. Goa became lonely today. his/her best friend, close to his/her heart, left him/her and said goodbye to the world…
