After a post-cabinet press conference at the State Secretariat in Goa, a journalist and his female colleague rushed after the chief minister, who had already hit the small passage between the conference room and his office. It’s tough to keep pace with Parrikar, whose long strides eat up space quickly. The two journalists scampered alongside, trying to catch his attention as well as to make an elevator pitch for the cabinet note.
The cabinet note is a document that lists government business to be discussed at the cabinet meeting, which the chief minister had just read out from. The journalists were keen to lay their hands on the document, in order to obtain more details about a cabinet decision, which Parrikar had just announced at the media briefing minutes ago.

Without breaking his stride, Parrikar gave the two journalists a printed copy of the note with casual, mild irritation and said: ‘Take[. . .] take everything you want.
