Elisabeth is moving from being an ayatollah to being a hutton. Her thoughts
and her choice of words are to the point. I am neither sucking up to her nor
contradicting her. But I would like to build on her post. I concur with her
wholeheartedly, that our post should be enlightening and lighthearted - and
that is the best way to disarm an ayatollah. This also applies to ayatollah
and is better that a fatwa.
A lot of netters look upon themselves as robust Goenkars whose attitude and
writing is "Mar Shendi". Yet others say,... "Dream on". And as our Lizzy (some
mataro just got a heart attack) points out it is "terse old men sipping bitter
coffee". Does this also apply to the rest of the Goan gender. Could it be
that such an attitude influences our "bhail ani bhoinim" who become "Saibin
Mai" and hence refuse to smile at their "grumpy old men"? :=))
Kind Regards, GL
PS: If a Goan combo says, "Lizzy" and gets slapped across the face, don't
blame me.:=))

What I do miss occasionally is the humour. Somehow Goannet brings to mind,
terse old men sipping bitter coffe while they pontificate about the world.
Lighten up!! Profundity is best served with a side dish of humour.
