Dear Albert, You are right, but look at the positive side. We all enjoy holidays.I still do not understand why Good Friday should be a government holiday for the non christians in Goa. I think they should be restricted holidays, those who want a holiday should take it. Even the superpower USA being a secular democratic country like India does not have a holiday on Good Friday. Why Id or Ganesh should be a holiday for christians? There should be a maximum of only 10 governement holidays per year and 5 restricted holidays. Every time you go to Goa, there seems to be a holiday. Then people complain that the government servants do not deliver.How will they deliver when near every month there are 2 or 3 government holidays?
