The readers of Herald were subjected to yet another of the mental treats from known chefs of the non-goan literary cuisine that have come to assume the role of a 'goan intelligensia'. We have an ever growing tribe of such literary stars from the Indian panorama descending in Porvorim and surrounding villages of Bardez. The guided tours of the village in cars with Haryana and Maharashtra number plates scouting for a suitable peice of land or a old house is a common site. Could someone tell us where in India, non-locals are bathed in ghee and curd should they try to teach the locals a lesson or two in driving or discipline? You are definitely not a local dear. How can you ever be one when arrogance and ego gets sold under your name and on the number plate?
