If George's spoof on the Goanet debate on the caste system does not kill it[ the debate, NOT the caste system], we will need to hire a professional exorcist. In the meanwhile, all those suffering from the "Eklavya syndrome" would do well to remember that Eklavya lost his thumb trying to win the game as per brahmanical rules. The Europeans have changed the rules of every game they wished to compete in...and have prospered. Indian and Pakistani wins in hockey are now a part of history. If the Europeans decide to play Kabbadi, you bet they will change the rules to suit them. Ditto for USA in the Kyoto protocol and the Interantional Court of Justice.
The chardo unable to find a bamonn girl must be unattractive[ as in pay package or other parameters or social indicators], rather dumb....or uninterested in a bamonn girl, anyway. Ditto for vice versa.
There was a so-called film critic who found everything about BLACK wrong....for the wrong reasons. My family and I loved the movie...and its CAST....SPECIALLY, RANI AND AMITABH[ who loves Amar Singh and hates humari bahu , Sonia.]

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 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.

The other day at the XCHR, some folks were embarrassed that they had been converted from veggie hindus to DK christaos. [ For those who joined Goanet late, DK= Dukor Khaire or pig eaters.]Eating ham and bacon is good because it apes the Brits. Eating Yorkshire pork is tolerable...but imagine eating country pigsssssssssssss. Yuck. I reminded these worthies that the Kodavas of Coorg eat Pandi curry and a staunch saraswat runs Goa Portuguesa that serves sorpatel in Mumbai to celebrities across the religious divide. So why are these christaos suffering from the Eklavya Syndrome and sticking out their sore thumbs....to be cut? To what race, religion and caste do pigs belong? Are Yorkshire pigs of a higher caste? If so, why sing the song "Sorpatel" and eat ham?????
Viva Goa.
