Thanks Floriano. That was no 'dog in the manger' stance. I do understand
exactly where Soter is coming from. And I do know how mighty little is
being done by the PWD and concerned departments to alleviate the woes of
Porvorim and other areas in Goa where water is indeed scarce. All I am

This is very enlightening, Joao.
Perhaps we Goan must stop being hypocrites for once and leave religions to
their own pastures.
Instead let us re-define 'SOL' in a meaningful way by unleashing the power

Dear Goadesc,
It is a very serious matter that the BSNL has released on 23-12-2009 a
telephone directory which contains entries of connections up to 31-12-2008 !
A one year-stale directory is not only like rancid pickle, it is also an
absolute fraud on Consumers.
It also reeks of corruption.
