[Goanet] Dalai Lama's controversial reference to Nehru

2018-08-08 Thread Sandeep Heble
I don't think it was right on Dalai Lama's part to come to Goa and make a few controversial references on some historical events. Was there a need for him to call India's first Prime Minister "self centred" just because Nehru did not agree to make Jinnah the Prime Minister? Did Jinnah really

Hi Gabe, I recollect from decades ago, hearing older kids playing football saying "poskotto futtlo/ or, futtlo poskotto." Referring to the bladder in the football having burst! The place must have been Siridao, or a ground closer to Batim. My memory is quite peculiar considering that I did not

All this snafu over "toilets" is pissing me off . Somebody on FB said, Rane should know that in England the word used is "Washroom" or "Restroom." I think, washroom is because the room has a wash-basin for washing hands after the use of toilet-paper. in most men's washrooms have urinals.

I am trying to make sense of Rane's statement. Methinks, he was indirectly referring to Catholic Goans who have migrated en masse to England on Portuguese passports. Rane's political base consists largely of Hindu Goans and he's not afraid to offend Catholic Goans, though he didn't specific. As
