"Couldn't agree more with Rajdeep. Maybe it takes a Goan away from Goa to realize Goa's true value and the degradation that is taking place everyday. I personally don't care for Scarlette or her mother or her allegations. May her soul rest in peace, but there are million more heinous rapes and murders committed in the heartland of India every day. No one notices when a brown skin is raped and murdered or burnt alive for nonsensical reasons in Bihar or UP. Atleast their mothers don't leave them with strangers to go "गांवार पड्पाक". The Scarlette case was a simple matter of choices, and their consequences.
Long live Goa."

not being born in goa, I prolly cant claim to be a goan... but i have definitely spent loads of time in that state.. out of which not even a percent went into partying.. goa is still the closest we can get to simple good living.. sardesai is right in worrying for its future in that department.. i hope we find a way of preserving this simple and beautiful way of life..
