The North Indians think Goa is a place of rock and roll similar to the Cuba of Fulgencio Batista. Women and booze is easily available. Besides they are bhingtankars meaning tight fisted. Nuttin will come out from their pockets. BC I picked up this book after reading the back cover of the book which begins this way and a few other reviews of the book which talk about the state of Goa as it is today, especially about people from other cities wanting to settle there. I'm a Goan living in Delhi and I sometimes wonder why the Goans seem to hate North Indians so much when on the other hand, Delhi people who come to know I am from Goa love me all the more for it!!
