------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aye saaiba. kitem saangche tum-ka. Yes Fred, the term"goichi" if I am not mistaken is used by SB (saraswat brahmins) who are spread over the Konkan to address SB's (their gurls are quiet sundari *wink wink*...if you know what I mean) from the Goa area. In Carwar where I sometimes spend time (feesh is cheaper here you know), its commonly used to refer to folks from north of the border. I think nothing wrong with Goich. Say no offense but I tot Xembuh Moidekar's post was naughty in title but tot-provoking and fine reading coming from north of the Zuari. My pet pigling Catrina and me have been reading it over and over....and Catrina has put it to song; I'll post on you tube shortly. Reading all those discussions on the US health care and God and God-not on the GoaNet does not cut in for me: I am on the GoaNet 'cause I want to read Goan! I think we should lighten up a bit....culturally, we are a joyful peoples no? Unfortunately it made one sick in the stomach to read the Selma's account of the life of Swindon Goans in the Herald a while ago. Its a harsh reality and the description of the smell from the chicken plant is etched in my memory. So perhaps Xembu was right in dishing out a little advice I would think. Aye, the good Doo-tor from the islands had something to say about pseudonym. I don't want get on his wrong side (Doo-tors and the injection brings fear of God, needle mixed with cold sweat in me)....but isn't putting masks part of Goan story telling, our folk lore. From the dusty villages of Salcette, we roam during intruz with masks and play characters, long forgotten dead characters.......Senor Dorado from Utorda Moodar will remember the late Cyril whose one-man act (as his dead aunt) drove the village kids crazy with excitement and frightful joy. Its our style of narrative, of story telling as an alter ego...or something like that.
