We hope you will enjoy our articles on stray dogs that do not wear helmets while driving motorcycles. You will be disappointed to learn that we do not have a state flag but if you look on the bright side, we do have a giant puddle of oil on some jagged peak at Sancoale. One article that you should find most informative is regarding why a Goan cannot be a Goan but an Indian and why an Indian can be a Goan but not a Goan and why a Goan can be of Goan origin but not Goan and therefore not Indian and why an Indian cannot be an Indian unless he/she is Goan of Indian origin that resides in Goa and why a Goan is an Indian unless he/she invokes a certain clause that allows him/her to become a Goan of Goan origin but not Indian. This really contrasts with the opposite view held by a few scholars that Goans are indeed Goans. -- Tariq Siddiqui [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************************* Rockets Lover!
