We create economic development in other countries by importing their products and services like mad, allowing them to invest in our country as much as they like, which means we spread the wealth around to places where there would not have been such wealth before, and do so productively instead of just giving it to them.

I have been to states and eaten with the americans. Even when laying the table you keep the knife in the right side fork in the left side and the spoon in the front side. While eating the knife is held in the right hand and the fork in the left hand for you need to cut the meat specially the stew or roasted meat. Once that is over and rice is to be eaten you have to place the knife on the front side and take the spoon in the right hand. In the past when we used to sit at the table the fish dish was served first. The table though was laid one did not take it unless being served by the servants. Once the fish dish was over meat was served and finally the pulao. I think rice and curry is eaten only in India and some few bording places and is never served at the table else where. Dr.Cruz comes out with his rare ideas and arguments. We do not follow the dress code in Goa. In Uk the dress code for evening parties or weddings is black pant and white suit coat with a bow. In the morning the coat is black with a tie. But surprising when the same people from UK, America or other european countries knowing fully well what they dress in their countries were T shirts when they attend weddings in Goa as if Goans do not have respect here .
