kiss or not kiss! I remember as a youngster in Nairobi, only close relations, kissing each other on the cheeks as a form of greeting.
Since coming to England, we Goans do it as a mater of fact. Now what irks me, is that I think our Goans do it nonchalantly and do not know which cheek to go for first. This invariably leads to confusion and many a time, some women have attempted to kiss me on the lips as an excuse of miss interpreting! I believe and have followed this rule, which I believe is Continental - right cheek first? In Belgium they kiss three times and there are many other customs. Even the Arabs kiss and it is always right cheek first. So could I kindly ask for correctness and ask our London Goans, to not go for the wrong cheek first, please - could we avoid some red faces!
