For the sake of keeping my sanity in good state, I have decided to avoid reading anything coming out of Indian and international coverage of events and incidents in Goa and the rest of India.
After all, there is only so much you can read about drug dealing and prostitution in Calangute, land grabbing, inept governance, trash accumulation, restoring Temples destroyed by the Portuguese (what’s wrong with purchasing land to build new ones, instead of ugly cookie cutter illegally constructed housing), cheating of Indian banks on a scale never experienced before, burning of 600 trains all over India, despicable treatment of Indian Muslim citizens, bribery and corruption of top public servants, ninety percent of politicians and police forces and a host of other poor governance issues that no civilized nation should have to endure. So goodbye Goa and India news. I’ll stick to issues in my saner part of the world where the worst thing you can read about is the expanding metropolis or a drug deal going wrong and a criminal with a long rap sheet getting shot.
