Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Whether we admit it or not, there's a whole lot of racial/communal profiling going on out there. Had the women been Hindus or Christians, the issue would have been probably sorted out with a few brief words.

FN PS: Today's Gomantak Times quotes SP Atmaran Deshpande as saying the live cartridges were "as old as 20 years", and that the father of the Sayyed sisters told police he didn't realise the pouch containing the bullets were lying in his bag, which was borrowed by his daughters for their holiday trip to Goa! GT adds: "Amusingly, on two occasions when the two sisters boarded a flight to Goa from Mumbai airport and they landed here, their luggage was not detected with live cartridges until they were caught while returning to their native (sic)." 2009/10/6 Naguesh Bhatcar <[email protected]>: > > I do not quite see the link between what transpired at Dabolim airport with > the 2 young > ladies and the URL to the article below!
