Lobo, I'm in the midst of the Canadian Open at the Westin Harbour Castle, having just finished the Ontario Open:
http://www.canadianchess.info/articles/2010OntarioOpen.html I get in circa 3 am, and the last thing I want to read is more of your sozzled fabrications and fairy tales. Here's some free advice - If you are so fascinated by my life and times that you cannot let a single post of mine go unanswered without your knee-jerk contrary interjections....get over it! I don't welcome your grubby attentions, and if you do continue shamelessly following me around, the general populace is going to label you "shempdi", which, given your utter ignorance of Konkani, you'll have to get some poor soul to translate for you. Given their deteriorating and rambling quality, and their 'happy hour' timings, your posts have already achieved the widespread notoriety of "shempdi tight". Again, some friendly translation needed! Despite your best attempts (and total ignorance of the subject and Konkani) to malign my best-selling SongBook "Greatest Konkani Song Hits", it is already in its third printing in under a year. You don't have to take my word for it - get one of your bosom buddies in Goa itself to check out sales at the two main music outlets, Furtados and Pedro Fernandes - where stocks are often replenished on a weekly basis. In San Francisco recently, as George Pinto will vouch for, copies on sale briefly were snapped up in two min. flat! Seems folks know something you don't. They also know that the inclusion of original transcriptions of international hits that have hit a chord in the Konkani diaspora like "Malaika" (Swahili), "Encosta Tua Cabecinha" (Portuguese), "Maria Pitache" (Damanese), amongst heaps of others, have made the book a collectors' item amongst many communities, not just Goan or Mangalorean. And for you to display an abysmal lack of brain cells to not comprehend why "Malaika" is included in a SongBook of the Konkani diaspora, is an embarrassment not only to yourself but your family too. If and when you are ever able to produce a body of writing that even resembles a book, we will congratulate you. But until such time, take my advice - grow up, and get out more.
