Surely this must rank as one of Dr.Willy's best jokes. A decision taken at the peak of the foreign tourist season is being implemented two months after its end! Anyone connected with tourism knows that the foreign tourist flow becomes a trickle by mid-March and is almost dried up in May. So WHO is supposed to be holding RAVE parties in May for whom?? The 'fake' hotelier from Anjuna would definitely not liked to be named...lest he/she/it be referred to IPHB as a possible in-patient.
How can the police seize DRUGS at a rave party. there is no such thing as 'drugs' in their list of NDPS. It must be a hallucination if someone things that there are 'drugs' in Goa. Goa is pure ecstasy. the weather gives the foreigners a 'high' ;-( The ban, if implemented, may only affect a village zatra or quermesse this season. By the end of rains no one will remember the ban. It is just a mere coincidence that Dr.Willy has brought in the saintly looking Mr. N.Suryanarayan to assist Fatima D'Sa in the GTDC ...and they will be having a blast at the INOX courtyard for the GRAPE ESCAPADE this wekend. Will it end at ten?? Or is it "technically" away from the beach [ and hence out of the ban] like the hotel coming up at Dona Paula near Raj Bhavan? Viva Goa.
