Goa has irreversibly been destroyed and there are few left interested in saving Goa and Goans. The windbags have talked a good game all along but did nothing while Goa died. A once great land has been laid waste and is now ready for burial. A number of people are to blame: greedy builders, the

To test the theory of allopathic and alternative medicines I went to Anjuna this morning. Mr. Lobo just passed away yesterday and so we administered a variety of allopathic drugs with chicken soup to try and revive him. A lot of drugs supplied by the greedy big-pharma companies were tried. We e
