Strange. My experience was exactly opposite in direction (but not in
magnitude) to that of George's.
I met this Brazilian football coach at Campal yesterday. He pointedly
wanted to know if I believed in God.
Not know what his own views were, I hedged my bets. Whoever wants to
miss the chance of being coached by a real-life Brazilian? In
football, that is!
I was surprised by his answer.
"If you don't believe in God, I could definitely coach you," he said.
After showing some clear disinterest in coaching any theist of his
kind. --FN
PS: And, btw, in today's Goa, you can be guaranteed to be charged more
on grounds of ethnicity.
When my pretence of being Goan works out fine, I can be well expected
to be charged a flat 20% extra. Which is why, I occasionally let slip
that I'm actually Mangalorean :-)
