One would think that the Salgaocars would have a little bit of self-respect and
pride to take care of the mess that they have created with the River Princess.
Or maybe I am wrong.
Maybe, just maybe, they are so incredibly greedy and are so hell bent in
exploiting the resources of Goa that they thumb their noses up at the "Aam
Admi"
and consider themselves God's chosen people who are answerable to no one. I
sincerely hope I am wrong, and that they will take care of their own mess.
