WHAT’S GOAN?
I used to tell my daughter: “Always remember, you are a Goan”. I did not say “a Goan first” because I could not invent an order of priorities. Her older son’s British school asked him to wear his national dress at a school function. So his father bought him an Indian outfit for the occasion. The little fellow asked his father: “Is that Goan?” The father told him: “Ask your grandfather.” I remain nonplussed; can anyone tell what’s 'Goan? Bennet Paes
