You know Vivian, I think you were spoiled by your stay in USA. Occasionally I used the litmus test and make deliberate mistakes ...Notice that not a single Goan questioned me as to how AARON who is only 8 could be a father.

I know somebody or the other offered me a Nobel Prize but I refused ....I have written to Oslo that Mervyn Lobo get the NP for know a lot about Lady Fish of Mudosho ...the national fish of Goa.
