Thank you Bosco. In case the Zuari bridge falls down, I have confined myself to North Goa. Since the bridge survived 50,000 people standing on it to protest the fragility of the bridge, and also survived a JoeGoaUK photo-shoot, I think it is safe for me to head south now. With the colonial World Cup nearly over, I headed to the former 'Colva Canteen', now re-christened 'Cafeteria Catholic'. The seemingly omnipresent Pedro was at the door to greet me. Are you here for the standard fare or would you like to see the menu, he asked me. Why, of course, I am here to see the much talked about menu of 'Cafeteria Catholic'. He gave me a menu and seated me at a table next to Theist Theo, Agnostic Arvind, and Atheist Angela. Man this is surreal, I said to myself. The restaurant was full. Everyone seems to like 'Cafeteria Catholic' I commented to Pedro. No, came his reply, they are as confused as some goanetters about who we are but come here since the waitresses are good-looking. Then they go home and tell their wives that they came to watch Sports on our large screen TV. It is all part of their rock-solid moral code. Tell me Pedro, this 'Cafeteria Catholic' is not like some cyber fish-market and flea-market combined into one? No, we have the normal fare. Like sandwiches, milk shakes, soft drinks, etc. And our daily special is a rock-solid pie. What do you mean rock-solid pie? Yes, says Pedro, its been on the menu for a long, long time, and only the anal-retentive keep ordering it. So now you know the truth.
