Dear Eddie & the editor of hamhigh.co.uk,

 

This post was written a couple of weeks ago, and it was posted by me with not much serious thought, or re-read for correctness as I thought it would not be put on for everybody to read. (I did check after I posted, and since I did not see it, I assumed it went to the writer as feedback)

 

After much thought, I’d accept that I was wrong in my comments, and would like to correct myself that my views would apply just to a small fraction of the young Goans that make their living at or close to the beach. My comments on them being rude, arrogant and sex crazed was not made up, but based on personal experiences and first had experiences that my friends narrated to me. I have cited such instance to Eddie in an earlier mail few hours ago. I am sure that many others have come across such people in the north belt, and some in the south.

 

However making a generalized comment on all Goan youth in Goa’s costal villages was wrong, and I am sorry I wrote that and apologies to whoever I may have offended or misled.

 

However, Eddie, you have made it imply that I have called all Goan youth rude, arrogant & sex  crazed when you say ““Goan Youth are Rude, Arrogant and Sex-Crazed” as the title of the post. Please correct the post from your goanvoice website and add my apology, or remove the post altogether.

 

I’d also like to request the editor of Hamhigh.co.uk to strike off the post or the misleading sentence in my post from the website. You may put this apology in its place if you may wish.

Truth about beach life

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
24 February 2006

IT seems surprising that in spite of revisiting Goa for 11 years, Peter Forrest thinks the beach sellers are Goans (Beach life is a real eye-opener, H&H February 3). The people you tend to meet at the beach are mostly Lamanis, a tribe from neighbouring Karnataka who have great business skills (a 10 rupee pineapple gets sold on the beach for 80!)

The Goan youth in the coastal villages are currupted by easy money and are rude, arrogant and sex-crazed.

Not all Goans are like that. To see the real Goa, Mr Forrest, you have to meet people away from the beach. Maybe it's better that the tourists don't. We 'real Goans' are already an endangered species!
