Dear Sapna, I am glad that you are easily flattered.
I am sure you will agree that NOT all who make trouble, do it intentionally or are communal. Those who stir the pot (perhaps for whatever reason or for no reason at all) are still pot stirrers. Some are intellectual pot stirrers, others are just pot stirrers - but pot stirrers none the less. Why those who enjoy the hospitality of another people - would choose to stir their pot which is relatively calm, beats me. I trust though that NOW you are in the business of discussing 'intellectual' stuff ... you will visit the nearest laundry and wash all the dirty linen in public. So that NO future "rough guide" gets the impression that only this person's laundry was dirty - when in fact, everybody has dirty laundry. BTW: My search (as part of due diligence ..... Samir) achieved its goal. Such 'due diligence' would be rendered unnecessary IF Sapna had the primary courtesy of introducing herrself to the group and advising us of her 'interest' in the matter......instead of this tangential "Rough Guide" stuff. Yep ....as Nehru said ....Goa's people are strange (read naive) and they are good only to be cooks and butlers. Don't be so sure of that. jc === 2009/6/16 Sapna Shahani <[email protected]> Dear JC, I'm flattered that you looked me up on Google and found that I produced a video news report about the Da Vinci Code movie. I'm sure it's easy to jump to conclusions again that I'm really a Hindu nationalist communal troublemaker, but I'm sorry to disappoint. I can email you a compressed version of the video if you like so you can judge for yourself, but the content of the video would be considered PRO-CHRISTIAN I believe because I interviewed a Christian theologist and a priest in Berkeley, California who stated that the movie was fiction!
