-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Wishing all Goanetters | | a Prosperous | | and | | Happy New Year - 2006 | | Goanet - http://www.goanet.org | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It might be that most Goans (locals and NRGs) are asleep to the changes happening in Goa. Last week I was finally served by a Goan waiter in Goa after several days of eating out. Where have all the Goan waiters gone? I asked one restaurant owner (a non-Goan) why there were no Goan waiters. He said they took too much time off and were unreliable. I did not see any Goan waitresses which is another story too.
I would like to think that Goan waiters have moved up the labour ladder, perhaps to more skillful and better paying professions and jobs. Alas, that is probably not the case as we slumber in the land that once was Goa. Jobs and economic opportunity should be open to all (Goans and non-Goans) but there is something terribly wrong when the ratio is absolutely lop-sided against Goans.
