But meeting Rajan P Parrikar in real life was a real pleasure. We met over a bhaji-pao at Cafe Tato, and had a long, long discussion with a whole lot of disagreements.
Rajan and me are among the active posters at S.C.I.G. (soc.culture.indian.goa) a Usenet newsgroup set up by me, more with the intention of archiving Goa-related news. (But the charter allows discussion too... though I don't want it to fragment existing initiatives like Goanet. If you want to post, just send your messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... and make it a point to alert me, since it's a moderated list. News picked up from cyberspace about Goa is particularly welcome.) Below is a message received from Rajan, who's alumni of the Goa Engineering College, at Farmaguddi. He has been active on Usenet newsgroups for ages... and has taken part in a large number of discussions related to Indian classical music, having done some interesting work on musicians from this genre who hail from Goa: ============================================================ From: "Rajan P.
