Rajan, You need to take care of yourself! However, your comments raise the important issue on who is the real threat to Goa - the so called ghatties or some of our very own, beloved goan leaders. Yes, some of the poorer, uneducated migrants may a blight to the physical aspects of our society, but they have no decision making roles in the crimes being committed by the mining and land mafias. This more insidious threat to our democracy is being driven top down - from some of our more powerful leaders. I still cannot believe how Goans can vote for these criminals disguised as modern day Robin Hoods or in some case as christian communal politicians.
