On a private boate cruise along the Mandovi the other day I heard to my amazement a visiting expatriate suggest seriously to me that the Navy might be doing a good thing by restricting the flow of foreign tourists into Goa! I had assumed that the flow of foreign tourism by air to Goa would be a good thing especially in view of the torrent of migrants pouring in over land. My only response was why cant the decision be left to the Goa government to take by design rather than by default? Later I thought if this is the job of the military (to restrict foreign tourists) then it should be done all over the country (Rajasthan, U.P., M.P etc) not just Goa. The government's tourism policy would certainly go for a big toss, right? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * G * O * A * N * E * T *** C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Spread the Christmas cheer - even when you're not here!
