An East Indian with a Portuguese surname and an American passport is an NRI
or an ex NRI? Since Eve was a black woman, are we all now mere ex Non
Resident Africans or do we still stick to our second tier status of Non
Resident Africans?
Please do not overcomplicate the thread, I am enjoying the kasti and the
breeze in Lisbon and I don't want to go to the garage to prove my point.
Regards
Arjun

Dear ROland,
You always manage to make me laugh, especially when we
bring Carmo into the picture. Throw in his penchant
for his kasti and we have not just a contest for first
place in education but a pending patent for the thong.
I was wondering where my strong response came from and
I think it comes from the fact that my brother is
American, having studied in a US college and is no
lesser a person than any counterpart in India. Add to
that my daughter is American, not to mention a handful
of nieces and nephews.
Which begs the bigger question, who are NRI Goans and
where do our loyalties lie? Perhaps we've reached a
point in our cultural evolution, where we have
parallel identities and dual loyalties. Perhaps this
is a good think for humankind, provided it doesn't
lead to too much dysfunction.
Take care,
Selma
