Cecil I was also in the theater, you did not see me due to the dim lighting. I met the "guy in the corner with his girlfriend" after the show and asked him why he was crying. He said it had nothing to do with the movie but he was a member of Goanet and was struggling with Gilbert's illogic which had brought him to tears. Don't worry I comforted him, that's 65% of Goanet. I asked the girlfriend what about the movie made her cry. Nothing she said. She is also a member of Goanet and was crying because her Uncle Tio asked her this week the caste of her boyfriend. What does that have to do with romance she replied. Her cousin Anthony interrupted saying because she is a Catholic and the boyfriend is a Hindu, the boyfriend should stay out of this discussion. However, after marriage if he was personally transformed (i.e. became a Catholic), he could be buried alongside her and display his caste on the tombstone. Her third-cousin Mario, disappointed that he could not drive a stake in the heart of the caste system, was pleased he had brought the couple together and introduced them after the girlfriend had to break-off her earlier engagement to his second-cousin due to caste incompatibility. This is Mario's exact quote "I was able to drive a stake in the their romantic hearts and kindled the fire of passion". Some people did not understand what he said. Gilbert tried to explain what Mario said and, determined to stay on thread, wrote about the 10 commandments. Without the 10 commandments, there would be no movie 'SINS', Gilbert concluded. 14 emails later, no one still understood what he said. In his 15th email, he clarified everything and asked Cornel once again what 'good deeds' he had done for Goan immigrants in the UK while being silent on his own 'good deeds' with new immigrants. In his 16th email, he demanded facts/research to back up any of Cornel's claims while simultaneously denying them as it showed that Cornel did more than the local Catholic Church. No one is better than the Catholic Church Gilbert added, not even those Judas-like priests and nuns who correspond with George. So now you know the truth. Regards, George
