Dear Fred,
Once again, you have to forgive my difficulty with some of this VHF intellectual stuff coming from elite Goa Journos. This probably is the reason why I do not understand their (Journos) take on many matters.
You(Fred) correctly quote me as writing thus:
JC<Now.....if you read my post in toto, you just might realise that I wasn't referring to the Bakshish culture in School Entry alone.....but to the Bakshish culture completamente (;-)>
and then proceed to ask me the following questions
FN: <Are you suggesting
(i) that all things in Goa were generally better prior to 1961 or
(ii) that some things were better prior to that date or
(iii) if the Portuguese had continued ruling, we wouldn't have had some/all problems we're facing today?>
May I very respectfully ask IF your (Fred's) above-quoted queries are related to the BAKSHISH culture Or is this a general set of queries?.
Whichever it is, please say so.
In response, I will NOT ask you what RELEVANCE the <quote> has to your set of queries, or even the RELEVANCE of your set of queries to the TOPIC at hand, but merely give you my answers to your queries.....and ask you the same questions that you have asked me.
For reference, I have included (LINKED) the posts below
Sincerely,
jc
