Goan men have in he past three decades lost, dropped the practice of kissing on the cheeks, other than in some cases in family. There is nothing homo-erotic about it, and nothing "whatever" about being gay--a homosexual. It is warmth, an ownership--a stake n friendship and allegria.
The other option is to go Japanesa and keep at arms length, or give faux namastes and the wide shit-eating grins. But even they are moving in another world, but I can understand how men feel across "culture." I mean after the damn war the entire Diet studied ballroom dancing, i f I am not mistaken. But for those who are concerned of kissing or receiving a kiss on the cheek--its fine. Stay petrified. Besides, a large number among our elites are metrosexuals of the worst benighted sort, and this includes non-Christians in larger numbers. Thus reminded me of one of our female weightlifters who proverbially wiped off kiss on her cheek at an medal ceremony. It would be much easier, if stuff related to National Etiquette was demarcated in a Sports document when our Sports contingent travels abroad. You kiss, we fine! I hope our Desi Bhakts/bhagats get a George Menezes, or a Victor Rangel-Ribeiro to do it, Our country needs help. These are cultured individuals who know their stuff and are suave too.
