Nascy's opinion: Selma, it is not just 'nostalgia' as such; but the very essence of our 'east-west' fusion culture, the inculturation. Generations are born with it, and do not even know that it is fusion culture, at first hand. There are though many amongst Catholics like the Kunbi's and Gawdi's etc who are not fully aware of and or exposed to this very special culture. Therefore when typical Goan people go to places like these,it is because we relish the type of food, along with the ambiance. Also there are many of post '61' era who are not able to cook and serve and create the right ambiance in their own homes, or they do have the time for it. I reckon we go for both nostalgia, and the ambiance and the gormet food, compared to Kamat's Idli and Dosas, and fried (into charcoal) vegetables. All that makes the Goan Christian culturally very special, even though some may have lost Faith; all still love the culture all round. This is the reason I at least, Stand Tall and look down on all other Goans! Sabash!

We must campaign against it and WIN, rather than only against the Dirty Saffron Evil (Fascist pigs) culture, but also against the non saffron guys, who are the ones in real disguise! Viva Goa, The True Spirit of Goa, not the 'Gomantak' that is being imposed on us, the enlightened people. Proudly Goan. Nascimento Caldeira. (Nascimentation is anytime better than Santosponn, the 'primitive' show!)
