----------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ---- From: Freddy Fernandes <[email protected]> Some have even asked Arwin to leave the Gulf and go to Goa and start acting on his notions rather than filling up cyberspace, is it a guilt feeling that they have, of having left their home land for greener pastures, and want to be respected by their accommodators, they need not have that guilt feeling and I am sure our Goans in other countries will never ever out number the locals and dirty their surroundings, I would like to tell those guys who think like wise that Awirn has done and is still doing a lot more for Goa and Goans from here in the Gulf and during his numerous visits to Goa, than what the wise guys must have collectively done for Goa. --- Sorry, Arwin has very limited credibility in this regard, because he has himself "abandoned" Goa for greener pastures abroad. The large outflux of Goans is one reason why openings have been created for non-Goans to enter Goa. Rajan, who is a US citizen who maintains a US residence is another part time patriot. Based on your email, it looks like you too are holiday Goan. If and when I hear the real full time locals in Goa start complaining (e.g. FN, Cecil Pinto, my parents and family) about the so called ghatti (aka Indian Nigger) influx, I will reverse my opinions. If you guys don't like the way Goa is turning out to be, you have two choices: move to Goa permanently and bring change, or just leave Goa for good. Marlon
