Good Morning Cecil...!
We must accept the fact that Our Indian Society (Goan Included) thinks as
follows :
1. If a Woman sleeps with TEN Men she is likened to a prostitute (kolvont
mure tem..!,
sogleanim kaloilam mure teka...!)
2. If a Man sleeps with TEN Women he is likened to a Hero (Pezad Sarko mure
to...!,
Vhodlo kombo mure to....!)
3. A woman's beauty/attractiveness is limited to a certain age (are teka 35
vorsam zalim
mure - atam kazar ani fuichem...) - while a Man is considered
evergreen...Men are
never considered over the Hill....!
Cheers !
