Respondent: "do the research yourself....." Gilbert's response: Since I have joined the Goan cyberspace, I have come to understand the 'amche bashen' response with "do the research yourself" is the Goan way of saying, "I do not know the answer to your question".
In most places in the world, one does research to prove a point/fact. In Goa we need to undertake research to disprove a grand-mother's legend. Very interesting! :=)) It appears as Goans we have a difficult time to just say, "Sorry, I have not read/ come across the specific information and hence I/we do not know the answer to that very good question." =:)) ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
