Right on the nail, Mr. Baliga.

"be assured that outside of first-generation emigrants who reminisce of Goa, 
the 
second-generation might call themselves Goans but they have now so much 
integrated into the fabric of their parents' adopted lands -- be it Mumbai, 
Kolkata or Timbuktoo -- that they do not know what Goa really is (check Indian 
depiction of Goa in their travelogues and Bollywood movies); those of the 
second-generation born outside India, I doubt that they would like to return 
back to their parents' roots to settle down after their rather unsavoury visits 
to India as tourists.".  That has been my personal experience.  Other mileage 
may differ.

Gabriel.
