Soter, I don't have any problem with your sneaky insinuations. What is indeed giving me sleepless nights is the worry over where all that untold prosperity which I garnered during Digu's tenure has gone. Also, I really like your neat mix of fact and fact-ion ;-) FN Frederick Noronha ::

Politicians like Babush or you (in days past) might have got an advocate like Parrikar to *rgue their case. The aam janta like us would probably be out in the cold. My Konklish is indeed worse than yours. I may understand a little English, but don't have qualifications in the law. Anyway, would

Corruption, castesism, communalism fueled by greed ail Goa. Get rid of those 3 C's and Goa will be much better. Is there any doubt about that? Not sure why Frederick brought in the bogey-man expat Goan, when most expat views mirror the views of local Goans - views which are diverse and across
