This is STRANGE! I somehow agree more with Eugene than with Selma
here. Well put, Eugene. Apart from being a patriarchal society, ours
is a very class-biased one too! FN

RESPONSE: Absurd commentary and comes across as insensitive to
Calangutekars !! Especially from those that do not reside in Calangute,
for example. Seems to justify scoring a brownie point is more important
than the affected people at Ground Zero!!
By all means, bring a million tourists to Goa for a weekend; put them on
a strip of beach but do provide appropriate facilities to accommodate
the needs of the million. Must the tourists introduce more coliform into
the groundwater??
Do the citizens of Calangute have any rights?

An example is the reported death of the Salmona spring and the
pollution of water tables created by unchecked garbage.
RESPONSE: Why would the rest of Goa give a crap (pun intended) about the
Salmona spring when nobody gives a shit (pun intended) about Calangute???
