Response to Ana Maria de Souza-Goswami: At first, I am empathetic to Ana Maria's reaction. I feel the same when I see / hear someone blow-up Rs 5,000.00 on an expensive bottle of wine. Yet my perspective will be different if I were making or selling that wine. This brings me to the need to lo

Ana Maria: Why did you go for the cocktail party? To paraphrase VM, "Must you come to (Delhi-oriented) cocktail parties this time (of the year)? Also I would like to comment on one of the comments you made at the ICT-for-D debate (if you will excuse me for taking ideas from one forum to another,

Cecil, No need to worry about Selma this time. She has made it quite clear that she considers other goan women insipid. No we know why no one will talk to her at Goan events. Regards Sunith Velho Cecil writes; I have known Ana Maria de Souza-Goswami as a friend for a long time. Before the

Cecil, What was your reasoning behind the remark "Kunbis and Gawdas from Salcete"? Why didn't you say "Bardez" or whatever taluka you come from? Aren't there any folks coming from the lower stata in your taluka at all? I care "diddly squat" about who comes to Goa to have fun ... they aren't sp

For the first time in my life, I agree more with Cecil... than with Selma. Without intending to defend Cecil (he doesn't need it... and he's too unpredictable anyway!) his comment didn't strike me the way Selma read it. In fact, I burst into a chortle on first seeing it, provoking a family member
