Mario responds: Carmo, You certainly did not see any blame for Nehru in anything I wrote with regard to those Goan cooks and butlers who you say are not entrepreneurial - only for the monumental waste and inefficiency and mounting poverty of India's first 50 years since independence. However, while your Bhayya Bhelpuriwallahs are entrepreneurial by definition, some Goan cooks and butlers are as well, and there are most Bhayyas are not entrepreneurial and work as laborers. Besides, many of the Goans you deride may have been more enterprising because they are to be found all over the world making a better living for their families than most of your jhopdi-existing, railway-line-urinating and defecating, pavement-spitting, public-electricity-robbing bhayya bhelpuriwallahs. BTW, while on the subject of entrepreneurial Goans, albeit not from the cook and butler category, while visiting Goa recently, I was surprised to find that most of the local Goans did not know who Mark Fernandes (the investment banker, not my cousin) or Francisco DeSouza were, even though everyone knew who Victor Menezes is, whose achievements in entrepreneurial wealth creation in the US these Goan youngsters may have surpassed now.

So is Nehru to blame why Goan Cooks and Butlers are not quite entrepreneurial with all their epicurean skills like the Bhayya Bhelpuri wallahs from Uttar Pradesh ? Why or Why not ? What a question, and coming from you of all people! The answer to this (as to all problems of Goa) is quite simple. It is because the foolish Goan people in their wilful unwisdom have not seen fit to anoint Manohar Parrikar -- the magnificent, great, sensational, fantastic, superb, unmatchable, etc. etc., who will go on to become PM of India and be the most magnificent (etc. etc. same as above) PM India has ever had -- as CM of Goa. Once they do that and get rid of all the GOAN GOON GAON CHORS and Maharashtrawadi gantis etc. and bring in the IIT educated, entrepreneurial, enterprising etc. etc. Manohar Parrikar, then Goans will become heads of all the big hotel chains in the world, occupy all seats in the IITs (oh, heaven) and Goa will wake into a new dawn! Please correct any errors in the above, I may have missed out some superlatives to describe the GREAT IIT-EDUCATED MAN and some expletives to condemn those who don't think much of him. Am still trying to get used to all this terminology and trend of thinking, never having been much enamoured of the genres of fantasy (or horror) writing. -- Question everything -- Karl Marx

In general, fear is gripping them more and more and so they are becoming more and more religious. The growing number of churches, temples etc reflects that. Also, they want easy money so they are out to sell their land, and their mother land, which currently fetches them good money. But I think this is not goign to last for more than 10 to 20 years. The politicians of course lead the fray in this sell out. For the next generation of Goans, prostitution and pimping unfortunately might be the only way to earn a living. regards, Samir --- CARMO DCRUZ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mario, So is Nehru to blame why Goan Cooks and Butlers are not quite entrepreneurial with all their epicurean skills like the Bhayya Bhelpuri wallahs from Uttar Pradesh ?
