hello goanetters, finally comes a time when goans as being written by various writers feel offended, insulted all because of one photo. but goans never felt insulted when ministers gave ration cards (a type of proof that they have full goan right to vote,) to outsiders so that they would get elected, they never felt insulted when konkani our language the one that we speak was given up for devanagri konkani, which i find very difficult to understand (not even the top man of church supported it inspite of having all gospels read in church are in roman script). if one has not heard it than the best place to hear is our own doordarshan. than we never felt insulted when most of the jobs meant for goans are given for outsiders who are willing to pay top bucks for the jobs. Hence maybe most goans run to gulf countries leaving their loved ones behind who once they come back on their vacation are more strangers in their own home land than these outsiders. we never feel insulted when we speak in english even to the people who are fluent in konkani, or vice versa. pity us goans who feel insulted for just one photo. Pity our thinking. jerry ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
