1. I was happy to attend this convention at the request of my friend ..... My ONLY CRITICISM was that after the organisers declared that there would be a question and answer session at the end, this was cancelled for lack of time and the reason was an impromptu and irrelevant talk by one member of the sponsoring team. 2. A convention organised by Hindus in the USA , if its overwhelming membership is Hindu, would be as unacceptable to me as the one organised by GOA for overwhelmingly catholic members, either to be called Goan convention or to be eligible for govt funds from goa government. 3. Organisations that claim to work for the benefit of Goa and Goans should not fleece Goan taxpayers under the pretext of discussing Goa's problems sitting in London. OK to do it but at your own expense. 4: Is that clear, Ms Carvalho? By the way, did you attend the dinner sponsored by Mr Faleiro and paid for by the Goan taxpayers? === A response from Kunbi Zuze, the mostest originalest Goan. This is written for the attention of these bhaille i.e. later-settler-Goans who continue with their Religion and Caste nonsense ad infinitum. also ........ TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN a: The 'ONLY CRITICISM' is noted. I recommend that additional criticism should be filed at the nearest Post Office in triplicate. If no action within 1 year, apply again. If no action within 1 year, produce bogus VideoCD or call for 'voluntarily-enforced' Bandh or Bus also known in Kunbi Konkani as 'BandhoBus'. b: From Kunbi Zuze's information service, there has been nor is ANY religion/caste/ barrier for the 'membership' of these later-settler-Goans organizations or their get-togethers & conferences. I know for a fact that both the UK/Canada and US organizations have reached out to members of other 'faiths' and invited them to attend. I also understand that a few self-proclaimed Atheists have attended (and even organised) these functions. Forgive me rather, allow Kunbi Zuze to forgive the disgruntled folks who are just making ghuspott and have now added a religious component to this. I suppose they would like GOA UK to be Swadeshified while they themselves like to pose for (even profile) pictures with the suited and booted 'whiter than whites'. Hypocrisy unlimited. c: I agree with # 3. I am sure that evidence of 'fleecing' will be forthcoming. Personally, I will look up the meaning of the word 'fleecing' to ascertain IF the meaning changed since I last looked it up. d: I agree with the general point being made in #4 above. I strongly recommend that one should NOT attend sponsored dinners. Somebody eventually pays for the cost, and it is usually the 'little man' . As Anil has asked the question of Selma, I will leave it to Selma to answer it - IF she chooses to. I do, however, have a question for Anil; a question which he may or may not choose to answer: Has Anil ever tasted/imbibed the offerings at dinners/lunches sponsored by drug companies and/or do you accept/have you accepted trinkets/junkets/other gifts offered by drug company representatives? While you may take your time to answer this question, I will leave you with this as my answer: NO! .....because (to repeat) some low lying Kunbi always pays. I know this from early childhood. Ask me and I will tell you how I know.....but first, answer the question put to you......and 'B4 you cast (or is it caste) the first stone, look first at thyself'. (In the interest of full disclosure, this question may be answered by all those who are now complaining about expenditure. Please do the honours without asking Kunbi Zuze to go through RTI. jc BTW: Kunbi Zuze is trying hard NOT to read a BJP/Congress or Religion/Caste angle in some of these post-partum bickerings.
