Isabella Rebello-Hamm <[email protected]> notes : You are right JC. Nobody is comfortable with filth!
Isabella, That may not be exactly true. Reading through some of the posts here on GoaNet, it appears that there are those who do not mind the filth that is now enveloping Goan cities and towns..... as long as they find their little 'chokra boy' to do work for them. To them I say: Listen Here, O Bhatcaras ani Bhatcaneos! ALL over the world, workers travel to find employment and better life for themselves. That is not the issue. The issue (Please remove your blinkers, Oh for just a second) is the filth that Goa has disintegrated into. But then, it is possible that the egalitarian Bhatcars and Bhatcans are happy that Goa becomes a Dharavi, as long as they themselves do not have to see it once they shut their doors. The 'Evening by the Mandovi' aroma? Well, there are air freshners available on the market. As Rajan Parrikar rightfully states (and I paraphrase): These sossegado Goans will only remove their blinkers when the filth reaches the highest step of their own house. jc.
