South Asian Film Festival in Goa from Fri (June 27) to Mon (June 30) At Kala Academy, and ESG, Panaji, Goa http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2008-June/076384.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is in reply to Message No: 2, dated: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 by Chris Vaz. Till date the Best HING in natural form (not chemically processed)is SHANKAR CHYAP (Brand) which is used by most Hindu Goans - it's costly as compared to HING manufactured and sold by Hingwala & Sons, A-287 Shil Mahapa Road, New Mumbai - Add a dash of SHANKAR CHYAP HING it will add flavor to spice and life. Let persons fight over the subject in question - Let's concentrate on saving Goa--- What say!! Best regards, Dr. U. G.

Too much flatulence caused the rip ... which would have been eliminated had you seasoned the lunch with compounded asafoetida, also called "hing" manufactured by Hingwala & Sons, A-287 Shil Mahapa Road, New Mumbai. --Folks who live in glass houses should not throw stones --Shri Kon Fucius of Velim, Goa ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.
