While supporting Joe's posting on Konkani Bhas... Can any one really call himself a 'Goemkar' without a knowledge of Konkani??
Goemkar and no knowledge of konkani? One must be a liar. Check this out two 'lie detector' tests Test 1. Put an ad (Top Job Vacancy) e.g. ..we pay 25% more than the others (similar) jobs in the area, all you have to have is 'Konkani Knowledge'. So called Goemkars (who deslike speaking konkani) will be the first in the line..'Any thing for money' ......We all Goemkars coming under 'MG Asians' catagory anyway. Test 2. When so called Goemkars, come to GOA, just watch them shopping around the market. e.g. when buying fish etc see how they bargain with the fisher women/men and that too in pure or high konkani. You will be surprised to see those people (who you always thought don't know a word of konkani ), speak more fluently than you. I am proud to be Goemkar and I will never lie about our 'Maim Bhas' Jerry MG = Money Grabbing ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
