If you're talking of church bells, you could give Kevin hives all over

Dear Roland,
Even if you insist that the Frederick generation
doesn't know what they are talking about (haha got you
there), it is very pessimistic to hope that the fires

Dear Vivian,
Thank you for sharing your experiences in the US.
Things have not changed so much since then. People by

very insular and unaware of any country or culture
beyond their own shores. They have however grudgingly
come to respect Indians
Few years back, I remember a gulfy whose cargo came few days after he arrive in

Last year, we enquired at LGW airport counter, and they say they can send it to

Oscar,
I am so thankful to you that I am allowed on Goanet inspite of being a
phoney Goan. I am also grateful that you allow me to breathe Goan air
when the fancy strikes me to go on holiday there, despite the fact
that I was not born in Goa.
Now tell me if I should also be appreciative to you
