Hi Santosh, So very nice to hear from you. By all means you can take full credit for that compliment. You were the only one who stood there and carried on a civil and educational (for both of us and others) dialogue on Goa's Inquisition from which we all learnt. You did not feel defensive and .... There was nothing defensive for either of us to be anxious about.
I wish all our dialogues especially the one we are having on Goans and caste could be so enlightening. It can only be so if there are facts - that are either there or not there; And we then know definitely what occurs or did not occur and not some else's outlook or (mis) representation of the events. In fact today I was reading about Goa. I came across a reference of how the same dish in Goa is cooked differently and taste differently in Goa's different castes. Can you and / or someone enlighten me if this is true? I am always willing to learn - the facts. Growing up in Bombay, I know for a fact that 'the same dish' is fixed differently and taste differently when fixed by a Goan compared to a Mangalorean or East Indian. I will not go into which tastes better, because that would not be a fact. :=)):=)) Regards, GL Santosh Helekar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >This is becoming like the thread about the Inquisition in Goa. >Everybody and his mother-in-law had strong views on the Inquisition. >When we ask for facts and statistics, it was DE NADA - SILENCE, >except for Dr. Santosh Helekar. > Santosh: Gilbert has been giving me a lot of good publicity lately. I want to thank him for this yet another good deed. Gilbert, Can I publicise your above compliment as your acknowledgement of my good deed? I don't have very many good deeds to my credit. ************************************************************** Greet your loved ones in Goa with flowers! http://www.goa-world.com/goa/expressions/ EXPRESSIONS - The Flower Shop.
