What happens is that some of these western chaps have read little about Goa's
history, therefore the cultural knowledge is zero. So when they arrive in Goa
they find a totally different lifestyle (to the rest of the subcontinent) which
leaves them in awe and wonder.

There is no issue here with covers, but haven't we had enough of them, over
the years, without a single original tune, with local and indigenous
ingredients, breaking up the monotony? And, is it asking too much of a
musician or band to come up with one single, original tune -- one single,
original
A friend, Helene Derkin (now Derkin-Menezes), charmingly narrates her
experience of falling in love with the windsurfing champ Derek Menezes in
Goa, how she encountered the Goan band, and what a dance at Colva was like
in the 1990s. ("From the Outside In," in Inside-Out, Goa,1556 and

Hi Linken, "Having to write fast" might be a good alibi and excuse, but for
me it's often a matter of a lack of knowledge :-) Can't cure that... LOL. FN
PS: For some reason, English and History were not my favourite subjects in
school... though I came to depend on both a lot in my work life. Kitem
The fact of the matter is, "remember not to do something" is a common
expression and one we use regularly in one context or the other. It is when
a word like 'forget' gets appended to it that the intended message takes on
an ambiguity that raises a question in our minds or even means something
LOL... Sometimes a centimetre between words, can make a mile of a
difference!
In myself of defence, studied I at SXC Mapusa (not Dhobitalao/CST/VT/Fort).
And the 600 km between the two made a lot of difference. I notice that
friends from Bombay/Mumbai are quite impressed when they hear that I
We are sure you meant... remember to NOT forget them!!
