[2] SB asks: Will this quote from his post do?: 'Michael and I have
been talking about this project for SOME TIME. The initial plan was to
get it videotaped in Goa ...but it was kind of difficult to organise.
So, it appears that the "Canadian" production
will go.
[3] SB asks further: 'Did I misunderstand? Or, does he mean that he
should be quoted VERBATIM every time?'
ANSWER:
YES....you, Sebastian Borges (probably) misunderstood and (definitely)
misrepresented my words.
There is a striking difference between discussing a project for SOME
TIME and being one of those who ORIGINALLY thought of the project.
It might be that you have a problem with comprehending the English
language (possibly) because it is written in the Romi script. Perhaps,
I should write it in the Devanagri script for you.
Now we know (I hope) that:
a: the Chinese brought Chinese cuisine to India, where it was modified
by the addition of some Indian spices,
b: the Portuguese brought the chorico or salsicha (sausage) to Goa
where it was modified by the addition of spices,
c: the Portuguese brought the ladainha to Goa, where it was sung
(also) in Konkani
I cannot be more clear than this about this topic. I'd say this in conclusion:
d: If you can help this project - financially, please help.
e: If you can help this project by not nit-picking at irrelevant side
issues, please help by zipping up.
f: I find it pointless discussing anything with a person who is
challenged in the English language and who engages in arguing on the
basis of his (own) misrepresentation of the facts.
g: Accordingly, please have the last word on this exchange, and have a good day.
