Seems to me that some Goans and their govt want to have their cake and eat it. They want to be able to go and live/work/settle/buy homes or whatever in whatever country they want, but want to keep the rest of the world from their own doorstep.
A form of tyranny if ever there was !

The Goan schism ....

Goa set to implement anti-tobacco laws in beach shacks www.goanvoice.org.uk

1) WOULD BE GOOD IF THEY ERECTED THE SHACKS.



2) Will anybody take any notice!

2 Oct: Times of India. The Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority (GCZMA) on Thursday almost unanimously rejected the proposal to increase the number of beach shacks from last year’s 305 to 437* as demanded by shack owners all over Goa…

*Good job and all.. the way things are going we may have all had a shack each !

Many a true word spoken in jest. . . . . . . . . . .

Jail
http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/...a-1796723.html

or Racial Discrimination
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/n...ow/5083772.cms

or any of the rain stories.

Like your new avatar Em.

Hi Em & All,

With regards to the piece from the Independant perhaps a few emails to Simon Ferrand ( British Consul in Delhi) may be in order ?

As to th T.O.I Does this mean the Goans actually like us ?.....

(Na, don't be silly they only like our Rupees)

I will never complain about Monach again reading this

and peace Goa you are going to need it this season when you find all the money bought in by tourism is scares

Goa: The Trash Heap Kids see www.goanvoice.org.uk


Two million slum children die every year as India booms
www.goanvoice.org.uk.

Both these stories have been in UK Sunday papers.
One the News of the World, and the other Observer.

What message does it put out to people who are looking at Goa for
a holiday destination?

Thank you kind sir - was taken in my kitchen - chewmeric is not there but turmeric is
J5 and us hate all these TV chefs who think they can cook Indian and say all wrong names for the spices. Chewmeric is our dreaded saying

Noni please will you put the URL of the piece instead of Goanvoice website as it takes me ages to find it due to the slowness of this dreadful internet service here.
e.g. 2 million slum children etc so I have to go to Goan Voice - find the piece then down load it - by this time sometimes I have forgotten what I was going there for. Early in the morning it is ok but now it is really bad.
Honestly this has taken 5 minutes to find- going with BNSL next week if T will fork out 5 and a half thousand rupees - chance would be a fine thing
