The Eastern Fishermen and the Deep Sea Fishing

I CAS-002 simulations hurried into the local department store to grab1 some last minute Chirsmas gifts. I 70-461 pdf looked at all the people and grumbled2 to myself. I would be Examprepwell Examprepwell in here forever and I just had so CRISC pdf much to do. Chirsmas was beginning to become such a drag. I kinda wished that I could just sleep through Chirsmas. But I hurried the best I could through all the people to the toy department. Once Learningpdf again I kind of Examprepwell CAS-002 simulations mumbled3 to myself at 70-533 Certification the prices Examprepwell of all these 70-461 pdf toys, and wondered if the CRISC pdf grandkids 70-533 Certification Learningpdf would even play whit4 them. I CAS-002 simulations found myself in the doll 300-206 dumps aisle5. Out of the corner of 70-461 pdf my eye I saw a little boy CAS-002 simulations about 5 holding a lovely doll.He kept touching6 her 70-461 pdf hair and he Learningpdf held her so gently. I could not seem to CRISC pdf Learningpdf help myself. I just kept loking over at the little boy and wondered who the doll was for. CAS-002 simulations I watched him 300-206 dumps turn to a woman and he called Learningpdf his aunt by name and said, CAS-002 simulations “Are you CRISC pdf sure I 70-533 Certification don’t have enough money?” She replied a bit impatiently, “You know that 300-206 dumps you don’t have enough money 300-206 dumps for it.” The aunt told the little boy not to go anywhere that 70-533 Certification she had Examprepwell to go and get some other things and would be back in a few minutes. And Learningpdf then she left the aisle. The boy continued to hold the doll. After a bit I asked the boy who the doll was for. He said, “It is the doll Learningpdf my sister wanted so badly for Chirsmas. She just knew that Santa would CRISC pdf bring it. 70-533 Certification Examprepwell “I told him 70-533 Certification that maybe Santa was going to bring it . He said, “No, 300-206 dumps Santa CAS-002 simulations can’t go where my sister Learningpdf Examprepwell CAS-002 simulations is…. I have to give the doll to my Mama to CAS-002 simulations take to her. “I asked him where his siter was. He looked at me with 70-533 Certification the saddest eyes Learningpdf and said, “She was gone to be with Jesus.

My Examprepwell Daddy says that Mamma is going to have to go be with her.” My heart 300-206 dumps nearly stopped 70-533 Certification beating. CRISC pdf Then the boy looked at me again and said, “I told my Daddy to 70-461 pdf tell my Mama not to go yet. I told him to tell her 300-206 dumps to wait till I got back from the store.” Then 300-206 dumps he asked me if i wanted to see his picture. I told Learningpdf him I’d love Examprepwell to. He pulled out some picture he’d had taken at the front of the store. He said, “I want my Mama to take this with her Learningpdf so 70-533 Certification the 70-533 Certification dosen’t ever forget CAS-002 simulations me. I Examprepwell love 300-206 dumps my Mama so very much and I CAS-002 simulations wish she dind Examprepwell not have to leave me.But Daddy says she will need to be with my sister.” I saw that the 300-206 dumps Examprepwell little boy had lowered his head 70-533 Certification and had Examprepwell grown Examprepwell so qiuet. While he was not looking I reached into my purse and pilled out a handful of bills. I asked the little boy, “Shall we count that miney one more time?” He grew excited and CRISC pdf Learningpdf said, “Yes,I just know it has 70-461 pdf to be enough.” So I slipped my money in with his and we began to count it . Of course it was plenty for the doll. He softly said, “Thank you Jesus for giving 70-533 Certification me 70-461 pdf enough money.” Then the boy said, “I just asked 70-461 pdf Jesus to give me CAS-002 simulations enough money to buy this 300-206 dumps doll so Mama can take it with her to give my sister. CRISC pdf And he heard my prayer. I wanted 70-461 pdf to ask him give for enough to 70-461 pdf buy my Mama a 70-461 pdf white rose, but I Learningpdf didn’t ask him, 70-533 Certification but he gave me enough to buy the doll and a rose for my 70-533 Certification Mama. She loves white rose so much. “In a few minutes the CRISC pdf aunt came back and I wheeled my cart away. I could not keep from thinking about the little boy as I finished my shoppong in a ttally different spirit than when I 300-206 dumps had started. CAS-002 simulations And I kept remembering 70-461 pdf a story I had seen CRISC pdf 70-533 Certification in the newspaper several CRISC pdf days earlier about a drunk CRISC pdf driver hitting Learningpdf CRISC pdf 70-533 Certification a car and killing7 a little CAS-002 simulations girl and the Mother was in serious condition. The family was deciding on whether CRISC pdf to remove the life support. Now surely this little boy did 70-461 pdf not belong with that story.Two days later I read in the paper where Learningpdf the family 300-206 dumps had disconnected the life CAS-002 simulations Examprepwell support and the CAS-002 simulations young woman had died. CRISC pdf I could Examprepwell not forget 70-461 pdf the little boy 70-461 pdf and 70-461 pdf just kept wondering if the two were 300-206 dumps somehow Learningpdf connected. Later that day, I could not help myself and I went CRISC pdf out and bought aome white roses and took them 300-206 dumps to the funeral home where the yough woman was .And there she was holding a lovely white rose, the beautiful doll, and the picture of the little boy in the store. I left there in tears, thier life changed forever. The love that little boy had for his little sisiter and his mother was overwhel. And 300-206 dumps in a split8 second a drunk driver had ripped9 the life of that little boy to pieces.

There had been two instances of rounding up of Indian fishermen in the palk straits as they were fishing off the coast of Rameshwaram  this week, even when officials and ministers of the two nations Srilanka and India were discussing bilateral issues concerning fishermen of the countries and the country was celebrating Deepavali.

New mode of fishing and sea farming and employing long liners and deep sea fishing are the panacea prescribed and floated in the meet by  Indian officials according to the information available in the press. What the counterparts from the neighbouring nation offered in the meet was not very explicitly known. 

The suggestions to have long liners for deep sea fishing are received with lukewarm response, by the traditional east coast fishers, the reason being that they, unlike the Western coast seamen are not tuned for long period stay in the mid sea. They are Quickers, used to overnight stay or at best two nights stay. 

Further they do not seem to have the seed capital to qualify for further assistance of subsidies, to build and operate the long liners meant for deep sea fishing  that the Government avowedly champions. 

Further, the  most enterprising of these eastern fish lords are in dark on what would befall on the trawlers they have with them already which they have procured with loans from banks and  private bodies and persons if they perchance opt for long liners for deep sea fishing.

No effort seems to have been taken to propagate the idea of deep sea fishing amidst such quick sea operators ,as a result , the scheme of deep sea fishing advocated by the Government with attractive subsidies  is almost a non starter, with traditional fishermen for whose sake this has been conceived. It is feared that the scheme is likely to be grabbed by big corporates and companies  ultimately leaving the traditional sea – fisher in the east coast high and dry.

Though the traditional fishermen ignore this scheme,they are glad that the Government of India has put a stop to the shooting down by Srilankan Navy , of fishermen who unwittingly cross the border which he rarely recognises, as it is  his traditional fish -ground and as he well knows that the original agreement between the two countries does not forbid him from his fishing operation in his historical waters and resting ground and as he is well aware that all over the world pursuing finny  drove is  not a serious flagrancy.

But they feel the Government should come forward to  stop the  harassment not so much of the arrests the Srilankan navy makes  but of the damages they cause to the Indian boats wantonly even when they are in sea , and also when they are docked in their ports after seizure, as the boats are built at high cost made good by borrowings and investing their  life time savings : and of the piracy  they  indulge in by plundering their catch and their personal belonging like GPS , Wilkie talkies,  and spares of engines of boats . 

According to fishermen in the eastern coast, the immediate concern of our Government should be 

  1. Prevention of malicious arrests, 
  2. Prevention of wilful wreckage of seized boats.
  3. Prevention of piracy of catch and personal belongings of the boats like GPS ,walking talkies, and spares of boat engines.
