Many banks like one Nationalzed bank in Mapusa near the Taxi Stand disregard the security aspect entirely. The ATM of this bank is located in a dimly lit street opposite the Jardin. A number of neo-Goans (I am not saying migrants or ghatis like r lest I be castigated) congregate at a pan shop which is illegally located on the pavement there and which has such pull that it sells gutka which is displayed in strings of pouches openly.
Can anyone lady or gent feel secure here while withdrawing cash, a ready temptation for crime? -- Tony de Sa. tonydesa at gmail dot com M : +91 9975 162 897 Ph. : +91 832 2470 148 ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v * * * The book people are already talking about: Goanetter Selma Carvalho's *Into the Diaspora Wilderness*.
