The lady couldn't have known that GOANS, being excellent socialites, will
never come together on an ISSUE even if their collective life depended on
it, that they will drift apart on the basis of Religion and Caste.

It's not my intention to enter into this controversy but I thought it would
be worthwhile narrating an incident that occurred with us, for Mr Barad's.
information.Some years back on a visit to our daughter in the USA, we were
invited for dinner by an acquaintance of theirs. Besides my wife, self ,
daughter and son-in-law there was another guest: a wido?ed Keralite with a
fisteen years old daughter who had remarried a white American nurse. This
friend of our host had contracting business with the Company (AT & T) in
which our host held a good position and being a contractor had a wide circle
of friends.We were together about three hours. Just before leaving, the
American lady asked my son-in-law: "How is it you all are so different?"
(textual words). The lady had never heard of GOA, had never met any GOANS
and yet in three hours she was able to note a difference as compared to the
host of her husband's friends she entertained?
Just a thought.
