Dear Eddie,
It is all the more shocking now to realise that the
photo actually appeared on a Goan newspaper and didn't
originate from a British expat or a Goan expat.
Infact, here's another website every NRI should check
out.
http://oheraldo.in/
The website of the Oheraldo, the Goan newspaper of the
"sons of the soil". The one that carries all the
articles about the mendacity of builder. After you've
read the articles, count how many real-estate
companies are advertised on the site. Three for land
(ACRON, Carneiro Builders and BF Homes) and four of
those, "elitist, land-guzzling" hotels (Prestige
Holiday Resorts, Longuinhos, Bambolin Beach Resort,
and Delmon). The two sections are rather interestingly
captioned HERALD HOMES FOR YOU and HERALD HOTEL
PARTNERS. To make matters worse all models used to
advertise are Caucasian.
So thanks, Goans in Goa for chastising expat Goans,
and calling into question our loyalty at every point.
Goans have no integrity whatsoever when it comes to
hawking land to the public, that too a European
public. Rob from Peter and give to Paul and then rob
from Paul again but who is to blame. Those expat
Goans.
