There appears to be a recurring groan and moan about Goa resembling a runaway train heading down an irreversible drain. In reality, 'Time' is a runaway freight train, encumbered with chronographic baggage crashing its way through other cultural stop signs and red lights.
Goans have been pioneers at embarking and disembarking Time's train. What's new? Wherever and whenever opportunity becomes or became the sun in a distant/alien landscape, Goans were among the first to head that way, in the process, eclipsing opportunity for those left behind. Resultantly, reality catches on, and every returning Goan is today welcomed with the glaring acronym: DOA (Dead on Arrival). Dom Martin
