"Regarding the bridge closure, I must admit that the news about this
bridge came as a bolt from the blue. I have no clue about its
setting. But why close a bridge on a big highway for a party? Very
strange, indeed. Strange indeed - It happens only In GOA
Ajib hai Goa ke loag(people) remember!!"
-- Strange as it may seem, it is not so strange after all! If I remember
correctly, the famous bridge on the Tagus river at Lisbon was similarly
closed for a celebration some years ago (I think it was during the centenary
celebrations of the Portuguese discoveries.) It is quite possible that the
organisers of the Corjuem bridge party got their inspiration from this
precedent! Perhaps Jorge (Abreu Noronha) could clarify. ---Tony
