Aye bagwaan, pray tell Irmao Fred, do you know of one Goan, expat or otherwise with grand ideas/schemes (exception of Charles Correa) who can devlelop villages without goonda giri and gol-mal gootala? Say when you slip out of amchi Goi for the Goa convention, do visit a Gooichi family and and I think you will be pleasantly upset...you may have to pinch yourself a couple of times and wonder....aye bagwaan, me Fred, where am i? Develop villages? Naaw. One wouldn't trust one to build your behind of your house (the part that faces the nunnery)!

Just my assessment, the locals lack ideas, they are not blessed with the creative, if you know what I mean.
