Dear friends
I have read about crabs. Yes goans have crab mentality. There was a hue and
cry when Keralities invaded goa. I see Christ when I see a keralite. A
keralite is like a honey bee when he notices a drop of honey will call other
bees to share that. There was a time when every one wanted to go to the
gulf. I had my relations, neigbours and friends in every corner of the gulf.
I approached a few of them but I could not find a place in their hearts
.You will be surprised that even my sister in law landed in kuwait and
inspite of several reminders they never bothered to take me there and I said
I am going to be the last crab in that basket. Had I to be a keralite, some
John or Mathai would take me there, feed me and give me shelter. They share
brotherly love. They dress simple, they work very hard and are ready to work
for less salary but what ever they earn they will send it to their state .
Goans have migrated to Eureopean countries for better status. Please do not
feel offended and many of them visit Goa for a holiday. They always carry
themselves superior to the locals. Once I happened to go for a wedding at
Alvar Mar and was shocked to find a goan returned Canadian come in T shirt
and short pant as if we locals had no respect and sat at my table. While
amids conversation I asked the canadians whether they have any weddings in
Canada and whther they go in short pants. He knew why I was saying that to
him and did not reply. A friend of mine when he went to England could not
attend a night function because he was told a tail coat was required and
that too should be of white colour and a black pant and a bow tie.He stayed
home without attending the party.
