Re: [Goanet] Waitresses
Folks, Coincidentally, NDTV broadcast at approx. 13:45 GMT today, Monday, a feature on female bartenders of India. The programme made frequent references to the High Court lifting the ban on women serving alcohol. There was a videoclip from Goa compiled by Frankey Fernandes which showed several, genuine, young, Goan women doing the Tom Cruise impersonation behind the bars of five star resorts. Some had been working there for several years and it was made clear that such establishments in Goa were the exception to the rule. NDTV is a free service in the UK and is also available at http://www.ndtv.com/homepage/default.asp as a subscription service. The free demo clip currently has part of the interview with Lionel Ritchie in Goa.

We wondered if this was a sign of being upmarket? Justine

[Goanet] Waitresses in Goa
Could it be that Goan women have overtaken men in education and have moved into middle management jobs? So instead of being a waitress, they are now supervising the waiters - in a restaurant or in a hotel. Kind Regards, GL

In fact, there appear to be no waitresses at all across the Indian subcontinent. --- Please note that there were waitresses in the late 1880s at The Pub in Mapusa run by Sylvester. Also at the Divar-Narvean Ferry there is a small chai-bhaji shop where the owner oversees the kitchen while his wife serves and does the billing. My friend also tells me that there is a waitress at Viva Panjim restaurant in Fontainhas. With the closure of dance bars in Mumbai perhaps we will see more of these waitresses migrating to Goa. As always happens here the 'outsiders' will take on the work we locals are not willing to do. Cheers! Cecil
