Former Goa-based journalist (now, somewhere in some other God-forsaken' place) RadaNair who claims to have a soft corner for JC responded thus to the question JC put to "the genius" :
(The learned doctor Jose Colaco wants to know: I ask.......What are the chances of a Keralite man marrying a Punjabi woman? No discriminations hunh?) Nair: < Chances are pretty bright, dear Dr JC! Sitting in Nassau or some other godforsaken place, you're dreaming up delusionary stuff about India and its people. There is absolutely no bar on a Keralite marrying a Punjabi, Gujarati, Goan or anyother Indian, provided they belong to the opposite sexes! > --- Dear RadhaNair, Despite the well=worn & stale cliches in your post on Mixed Marriages, I enjoyed reading it. That is the best I have read from you. Hey! When I grow up (if I do), I want to be like you Sri Goebellappa! Why did you title your post "mixed marriages"? Aren't Punjabis and Keralites..... Indians? unless you were referring to their CASTE or their GENETICS. Now, while I have your attention, may I also say that I agree with some (not all) of your arguments in the Goans & IAS discussion. I am not sure that Bernado was really IN IT (:-). My personal feeling is that Bernado is punching the buttons of his "Friend" who is OBSESSIVE about Bernado's whereabouts. Please look fwd to Xacuti Bozo Singh & TGF discussing the IAS matter when they meet next in Margao ... soon! I am sure that you will feature somewhere in that discussion. Anyway: I am glad to hear that.....the chances of a Keralite man marrying a Punjabi woman are "pretty bright". Does HE have to be Pretty or Bright or both? Please note that I asked about CHANCES....not about ANY BAR! Silly me, I read all these Indian newspapers on Samachar.com when I should be reading your posts and your posts alone. All those Indian Journos must be printing FAKE stories about those "honour killings" and the like ...... But ....I will check. BTW Why on earth did you write "provided they belong to the opposite sexes!" when ALL I asked was about the chances of 'a Keralite MAN marrying a Punjabi WOMAN' ? Are there any Keralite men who belong to the same sex as Punjabi women? I ask because I do NOT know. ---- Nair <Have you heard of AIR newsreader Rini Simon, a Keralite?etc etc> Have you heard of the saying: A one swallow does not make a summer!?! ---- Nair: <As Miguel once rightly stated, having tended to ailing children all your life, you think this world is made up of kids alone. Grow up, my good doctor JC and, as Gabe would say, spill the coffee!> If you are referring to Miguel Braganza, I'd say -> I admire him. He is one Goan (Floriano Lobo is another) who does a lot of social service for Goa and Goans. I admire people like Miguel. He is an infinitely better person that I can ever grow up to be. Hence, I will accept whatever he says as being beneficial. However, To be quite honest, I'd be very disappointed if "this world is made up of kids alone". If so, WHO would pay the cost of my services? Hunh? ! See.....how the coffee was already spilt, Sri Radhaappa? Please remember to have your lungi in situ at coffee time. BTW: The a Dec 2003 set of question remain unanswered: Could you PLEASE provide us ISP justification for the following FALSE comments made by YOU: (Goanet's NAME CALLING admonition to Paulo Colaco Dias having been noted) NAIR's FALSE insinuations: <1. <Btw (Bernado), how come you in Nassau share the same ISP with the other CRACKPOT Vivek, who's supposed to be in Uganda?> 2. <I repeat my question to Vivek: How come you in Uganda share the same ISP with the other CRACKPOT Colaco, who's supposed to be in Nassau? I did note that YOU wrote thus: <I do not ... retract any of my comments on this> viva Sri Goebellappa ! Have a great week ahead! as always jc ----------------------original post ------------------- Radhakrishnan Nair [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun, 29 Feb 2004 17:16:30 +0530 (The learned doctor Jose Colaco wants to know: I ask.......What are the chances of a Keralite man marrying a Punjabi woman?

There is absolutely no bar on a Keralite marrying a Punjabi, Gujarati, Goan or anyother Indian, provided they belong to the opposite sexes! Have you heard of AIR newsreader Rini Simon, a Keralite? She's now Rini Khanna, married to a Punjabi. I've a couple of journalist friends in Delhi -- one a Christian and the other a Hindu -- both married to Punjabi girls. There are many more, but I don't want to discuss people's private lives on this forum.
