------------ The even bigger danger actually is people who make all sorts of comments about the socio-cultural and political life in contemporary Goa without actually walking the talk here. Armchair philosophy and research is easy. Living the Goan life in Goa is a different ball game all together. Viva Carnival! Cheers! Cecil P.S.

My poder family and friends are having a good laugh at armchair researchers who are fishing for facts. It's so easy to bait them in turn. =========
