Cecil Pinto: Will Gilbert please identify these three individuals? Or is this another shot in the dark? Will Gilbert define and describe this 'new' Goan culture he talks about? Or is this a figment of his imagination? Who said Goan Catholic culture/identity is 'splitting at the seams'? Is Gilbert quoting someone or is this his own opinion?
Gilbert Lawrence: Arre Cecil! Welcome back baba from your vacation. It was very short. Hope you had a relaxing ani Milka-Singh time. Poile svater, I am surprised the widely ani unanimously acclaimed maestro of Goan Parody is taking unkindly to a little lampoon. Kitem, you don't have chutzpah? :=)) Dusrem svater, regarding 'individual names'. Kitak rre, do you really want to know? :=)) Then you guys will start your own cluub ani kutub with legal movies, more phun ani tea bhair more tamasha ani natak. :=)). Regarding the 'new Goan culture' of non-practicing Goan Catholics here is my response. So like the song goes... You're so Vain. You think this song is about you? Don't you? Don't you?.... The culture of 'Non-Practicing Catholics" is greater than all Goans put together. But, now that you are being defensive ani self-protective about being classified as 'non-practicing Goan Catholic', (which you labeled yourself) are you going to join the 'Catholic brigade'? :=)) If so, Welcome Aboard! Now you with us can work on the other Goans who claim they are 'Too Intelligent' or 'Just Too Tired' to make it to Sunday church. But if you want to pursue this dialogue of Non-Practicing Goan Catholics, please do not make it a personal discussion - because it is not. Why don't you write an essay one side of this debate? On a final humorous note: Of course "Goan Catholic culture/identity is splitting at the seams", that's how Non-Practicing Goan Catholics fall between the cracks. :=)) Regards ########################################################################## # 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 # ##########################################################################
