>Samir, >Your attacks on Rajan are getting a bit tiring now. *Take a good break, refresh yourself and be prepared for more. ?Let me tell you you have seen nothing yet. There is more to come.* Response: Your detailed response about MARG was good and I was prepared to accept your word on it. Then you had to go and spoil it and show to the whole goanet that education does not always work. You have asked me about my citizenship and you have also asserted that I do not understand anything about citizenship. So read this slowly and carefully and you might pick up one or two problems with this notion of citizenship that you have in your head: I hold Indian citizenship. I am not allowed to vote in Panchayat, State assembly or Parliamentary elections in India although Manmohan Singh has promised to change this by next election. I am on the registered voters' list for UK council as well as parliamentary elections and also for European parliamentary elections. I believe in democracy. So, I have voted in most of the elections for these bodies since 1982. *Now tell me what do you do there sitting in UK except perhaps increase your bank balance ? *Your life seems to revolve around people making money. Are you in some sort of financial difficulty? Just the way goanetters pitched in when you were summoned to the floor of the assembly, we can start an appeal for help. For your information, I have been increasing my bank balance while keeping my Indian citizenship. Here in the UK, I work as a surgeon and help a lot of people who come to consult me. * Why did you vamoos from Goa? The public would like to know. *This is what turned up on google *vamoos* - 1 definition - To tell someone to go away, because that person was dwarfing you big-time. If I follow this definition, I can tell you that there were quite a few people who told me not leave Goa. I left Goa and India because despite being a gold medalist of Bombay university, I could not get a postgraduate seat in Bombay and in goa, there was no possibility of getting good surgical experience because the procedures carried out at the GMC were very limited and so was the experience of the surgeons who were our teachers. I can explain this in more detail if you are interested. * *Lastly, all the foul language you have used in your post: I believe your father has tried to give you good education. You wrote in your post that your father lives like a sage. What will he think if he reads your posts? Was it a problem with your upbringing or the influence of Deve Gauda that made you respond to my civil queries with that sort of language? When you respond to this post, please try to be civil.
