Dears,
Do not waste time discussing a FORWARD from a backward looking fellow.
Goa is great. That's why people keeping coming here. One gets the service one
is willing to pay for. No one is forced to stay, eat or travel in a facility
one does not like ...and no one is forced to holiday in Goa, specailly on Good
Friday. It is not as if Good Friday is some kind of a village chapel feast.
Would Manoj open a restuarant at Valpoi to serve tea on Ganesh Chaturthi Day?
Would someone serve alcohol to me in Saudi Arabia? One has to accept local
culture. The tourists are visiting GOA, it is not some kind of ZOO !
Mog asundi.

I clearly recall on 19 December 1969 when Indian troops entered Goa (with one
Laura announcing on the helicopter) all our Hindu brothers and few Goans in Goa
and all Goans in Mumbai were rejoicing.
Therefore, one should not complaint of anything; instead work to make Goa
better. Complaining will get us nowhere!
Manoj as for you, if you hear something keep it for your self!!!!
Cheers
Oscar
