We Goans are often unfairly lampooned as happy go lucky, alcohol swigging, siesta loving, beach bums. I use the word 'we' cautiously since I truly haven¹t spent enough time in Goa nor can I speak fluent Konkani. But my late father remains the only Goa born Goan cricketer to play for India, enough reason I guess for me to qualify as an ‘honorary’ Goan. If you still believe that 'we' Goans are carefree and relaxed in our idyllic 'susegado' derived from the Portuguese word 'sossegado') lifestyle, then you just have to meet our politicians: the contrast between the natural beauty of Goa and the coarse ugliness of its politics could not be more stark. read more https://www.rajdeepsardesai.net/columns/goa-gone-wind -- Rajdeep Sardesai’s award winning book, ‘Democracy’s XI: The great Indian cricket story’ is now available in paperback. https://www.amazon.in/dp/9353450209/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_api_i_9A36CbYC0PQTT
