It is much more a part of our unique Goan culture than any high-minded philosophical discussion is a part of the western culture. We really would like everybody to help our poor little Goa and our less fortunate Goans. We are indeed very grateful toward those who have enough patronizing zeal in them to enable them to do this. The least we could do, however, is let those who are not so fortunate, practice their high Goan art forms to the best of their modest and limited abilities. Cheers, Santosh P.S. There really is a Chimbel. _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.goanet.org/mailman/listinfo/goanet
