This goes to show that even though they live in a superior society their mob ways have not changed BOSCO: What are you talking about ?? If you want to address somebody's comments then do so....why are you being vague ??? What language, superior soceity and mob ways are you referring to ?? Where does inferior society exist ? > Last time it was a nuclear scientist from Bombay (Dabul) 400 002 who tried a have a go at me and paid the price. BOSCO: And I thought all those Dabulkars were pious followers of St. Francis Xavier. TCH-TCH-TCH !!! How did he have a go at you and how did he pay the price......please fill us in on the details. > CIA informants have told me that this chappy goes to Goa to eat mangoes and his new home is far away from Mumbai (not even Goa (location witheld to give him a surprise)) because Bal Thackerey does not want him! BOSCO: Obviously these are not the genuine CIA informants coz you can't be the CIA !! But seriously, tell me, how many of us Goenkars really live in Goa anyway ??? Some of us here in North America.....you in Macau......many in the Gulf.....But I'm curious to know who is this nuclear scientist you are talking about - I never knew we had a Goenkar Nuclear Scientist.....the suspense is chilling !!! > Back to the topic - English introduced in Goa had no path. I am only informing you'll chappies the truth. BOSCO: Oh really ??!!! And how can you convince us that you are the bearer of truth ?? You have serious credibility issues !!! > But in Goa where is the money? All gone for the loot (FE to send our kids overseas)and other places have been developed (refer -Dr. Nandakumar Kamat). BOSCO: So stop sending your money to Goa !! Send it to Singapore and Malaysia instead.......or blow it in the local casino.....But quit whining about the money that goes to Goa !! > When bharat took over Goa they forced in English and hindi overnight. Out of the window went Portuguese overnight. The primary school teachers had no skills were transfered to teach english. Then soon came the maratization concept by the MGP. BOSCO: You seem to be under a misconception that if the Portuguese still ruled Goa they would have taught English in the schools.....It's a good thing you didn't have to go thru those Portuguese-ruled schools in Goa..........Besides now you also have electricity, running water and toilets !!! > Subject: Re: Which future for goan communities around the world? > > Mr. Bosco, > > I do not understand what is wrong in speaking Portuguese? Are you upset that many Goans speak Portuguese? BOSCO: There is nothing wrong with speaking Portuguese.....we have already admitted many times over that Portugal and Portuguese has a lot to do with what we are today !!........Remember my family name is D'Mello !! I'm an Indian with a Portuguese name. > Kindly note that Macau has been the home of many a Goan publication. Remos, Bondos and los Gavanas have strutted their stuff here. Local Goencars have taken part in community celebrations thereby exposing Goan culture. BOSCO: So what's wrong if the Goenkars in the US and Canada take part in community celebrations thereby exposing Goan culture. Why did you have to slight them..... you're original comment was mis-directed. > Just a note, I wonder how much do late Chris Perry's offspring know about Goan culture? BOSCO: If you go to Goa, and ask around.....you may find out !! Till then, keep wondering and making oddball, vague and ambiguous statements.
