Joe, 1) The above numbers to not add to Rs. 34,37,732 Creative accounting or no one pays attention to numbers? 2) Rs. 34,37,732 is appox US$78,000.00? Don't forget there are also expenses after the delegates go home as now there is a video to produce, etc. I am looking forward to the video scene where they arrest a delegate. That should take us all back to the good ol' Goa and Salazar years. > JoeSays: > The so called 'recipients' are they really Goans? I think the real question is: "Do the people of Goa really have this kind of money to waste on celebrations?" The question that really concerns me though is: "Would any NRI invest in India now that the Goan NRI commissioner has made it clear he has no hesitation in arresting people without charges?"
