To Goanet -
It is amusing to be a bystander in this spectacle of Indian hypocrisy. I was watching some twit on TV the other day ranting about the 'indecent' cheerleaders when the show cut to an ad break. The first in line was the highly risque ad for the Frenchie X underwear, with close-ups of the crotch folowed by the lead-in to a "quickie." Back to the programme, the voluble oaf was still going strong with his "Indian culture is under threat from Western tits" thunder. The major story as far as Goa & IPL are concerned is the emergence of Goa as a major betting hub. I understand that 3 or 4 hotels have been booked for the purpose and are being used as co-ordination centres. Big time betters have descended on the state. The law enforcement agencies of the Goa govt are, of course, aware of all this. So are some of the politicians who are no doubt facilitators of the operation. There's a mountain of cash to be made for all. What do the hags at Bailancho Saad think of all this gambling, eh? Or are they still sore about some tramps guzzling beer by the INOX? Warm regards, r
