Cornel,:-), :-)
How dare you try to 'go as wheatish' when I see you
with Gabe and Co. in a photo published thru goanet
some three months ago! In that pics U are so dark that
I thought you were Idi Amin's bro'.:-) :-) Until I
looked again and found that it was you, the 'thinks
great' Cornel!
You should know that there are two main 'races'
prevalent in India; the Aryans and the Dravidians; In
Goa which is situ at the border between these racially
'settled' places. there have been both the races. The
dark coloured Goans are Dravidian as abound in some
parts of Goa and to their East; and the 'fair' skinned
are the Aryans, and of course thare are some mixtures
thereof. Are U trying to go as wheatish, knowing that
your ancestry is a mix of Aryan and Dravidian? Just a
thought! So you are skin colour conscious, after all!
